Chapter Seventy-Nine: Returning to the Teacher

Since Zhu Qizhen had made up his mind, he summoned Hu Hu and Zhang Fu to inquire about the matter.

Zhang Fu and Hu Hu both had a difficult look, Hu Hu said: "Your Majesty, the matter of the big parade in the army, the imperial court has long been customized, if Your Majesty wants to read the Baoding Marquis, the minister will naturally arrange it, but it is generally outside the city, and there is no venue in the city." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "A big parade in the suburbs? Zhu Qizhen shook his head secretly in his heart, what is the use of this, he read the Baoding Marquis to conquer the Southern Army, and he definitely didn't just want to see the Baoding Marquis.

The main thing is to build momentum.

How many people saw the military parade in the suburbs? And how to show off your might.

However, what Hu Hu said is also right, first of all, the site is limited, and there is still some distance between the main road of Beijing at that time and the width of the street in later generations. Secondly, the most important point is that Beijing's main thoroughfare, Chang'an Avenue, which was used for military parades in later generations, was actually closed at this time.

That's right, the section of the road in front of the Forbidden City is closed. Dead ends on both sides. It is simply impossible for outsiders to pass.

If you want to replicate the military parade in later generations, Zhu Qizhen must first build a large number of buildings and open up Chang'an Street.

Zhu Qizhen thought about it, felt that it was not necessarily necessary to copy, and said: "In this case, I am on the top of the Xuanwu Gate Tower, proofreading the Baoding Marquis. ”

Zhang Fu said: "How is Your Majesty going to proofread?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Just follow the practice in the army. ”

Zhang Fu said: "Taizu, Taizong, and the first Dì Dū are in the review army, but most of them are patrolling the armies and preparing to go on the expedition, and Your Majesty is reviewing the triumphant army, but there is no precedent. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Mr. Hu has his own etiquette," Zhu Qizhen's words paused slightly, and said: "When I travel, I naturally want to accompany me in the palace, I will send Wang Zhen over, and Mr. Hu will give me good guidance." ”

Hu Hui said: "Lao Chen understands. ”

Zhu Qizhen was secretly happy in his heart.

In general, it shows that many systems at the beginning are not very perfect, Taizu has a set of laws, Taizong has a set of playing methods, and Renzong Xuanzong has a set of his own practices.

There are not a few ministers below who exalt the ancestral system, it seems to be a fallacy, the higher the front, everyone does not think there is any problem in changing it, but the further back, the farther these people are from the original era, the more they feel that something is sacred and not easy.

Zhu Qizhen decided to add a little private goods to the big reading etiquette formulated by Hu Hui.

As for how to add it, it depends on how Wang Zhen plays.

How did Zhu Qizhen formulate the big parade, don't talk about him.

In the winter of the fifth year of orthodoxy, Hou Mengying of Baoding officially began to withdraw his troops.

The hundreds of thousands of troops brought by Baoding Hou Mengying were not all taken away, at least 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers were distributed to the guards in Yunnan, after all, in the battle of Luchuan, the local people in Yunnan suffered heavy casualties and wanted to recover

It also takes a little time to recover.

Moreover, Zhu Qizhen felt that the number of Han people in Yunnan was the key to ensuring that Yunnan was not part of the Ming Dynasty, so as soon as Mu Ang said that there was a lack of troops, Zhu Qizhen decided to leave some soldiers.

In addition to these armies, there were also fifteen thousand of the most elite in the army, a total of three guards, led by Fang Ying and under the jurisdiction of King Xiang.

Of course, the army did not evacuate all at once, it was originally planned to let Meng Ying sit in Yunnan, and when the army was evacuated, the last group left.

However, Zhu Qizhen's sudden order, Baoding Hou Mengying could only take about 30,000 with his headquarters, which was determined to belong to the army of Jingying, and left first.

Wang Ji sat in Yungui in the name of the superintendent, and slowly withdrew his troops, probably in the middle of the sixth year of orthodoxy, before he could withdraw the troops one after another.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen is urging Baoding Hou to urge.

The Marquis of Baoding was required to arrive in Beijing before the twentieth day of the sixth year of orthodoxy.

Baoding Hou Mengying didn't know what Zhu Qizhen wanted to do. But the king's fate is difficult to do, so he naturally rushes back.

Because of the tight time, they didn't bring much baggage, and now they go directly to the Yangtze River through the five-foot road in southern Sichuan, change to a big boat, and go down the river. It was changed to a canal trough boat and took more than a month to Shandong.

The canal is much slower when it reaches Shandong.

After all, the canal is in this section of Shandong, and it can be called the sluice river. A ship next to another has to queue up to pass through the gates, and the capacity to pass through one time is also very limited.

Many people in the Ming Dynasty were waiting to pass the gate, waiting and waiting, the gate has not passed, but the year has passed.

Baoding Hou Mengying naturally did not wait, but abandoned the boat and went ashore, and traveled a long distance, which was regarded as a march, and ate in various prefectures and counties all the way.

This is not the late Ming Dynasty, and the prefectures and counties did not dare not supply the Korean army with food.

Directly Baoding Hou went out of the Shandong territory and came to the Zhili territory, and immediately felt a big difference, and even there was a fiery feeling in the air.

After entering the Kama Province.

At this moment, Shandong has passed, and it could have been possible to continue to take a boat north, but there was no suitable boat for a while, and Meng Ying pinched her fingers and counted, she was about to enter Layue.

He didn't dare to stay any longer.

Along the canal north, 30,000 soldiers traveled several miles, but he saw a different situation.

Baoding Hou Mengying saw that I don't know how many people and their families were going out to repair the river.

The women prepared the water, and the men, many of whom were shirtless, picked up and dried. Some are dredging, some are reinforcing rivers, and some are building sluice gates.

Children are playing on the embankment.

It seems that the large and small villages between the rivers are now empty, and all the people are on the embankment.

Although Baoding Marquis Mengying has been fighting in Yunnan, he still has eyes and ears in the court, and others

Not to mention, his nephew is on duty in front of the palace, not to mention the size of the power, but all kinds of news are first-class and well-informed.

He naturally knows that he is now vigorously rectifying water conservancy in Hebei.

In fact, he was the first to feel in Yunnan and said: "Your Majesty, you are still a little younger. Such a big move is not necessarily a good thing. ”

But when Baoding Hou saw this situation at this moment, he suspected that he was wrong.

Suddenly, someone came to report that the personnel of the front brigade had assembled, and a good thing was going to make trouble. blocked the way.

Baoding Hou Mengying listened, frowned and said: "Send someone to ask, what's going on, the army is here, what's the matter, go down and say it yourself, don't miss the army's itinerary." ”

The Marquis of Baoding did not want to interfere in local affairs. But local affairs came to the door instead.

It's good that the Marquis of Baoding didn't send someone to reprimand, but this faction of people reprimanded him, but let these people come to the door.

A man dressed as a civil official saluted the Marquis of Baoding and said: "The lower official is the head of the Ministry of Works, responsible for this section of the canal, and there are traitors who steal the canal water, which causes the water level of the canal to decline, affecting the major affairs of the imperial court. ”

Baoding Hou Mengying was riding on a horse, behind him was a large group of soldiers, but in front of him there were a large number of people, men, women and children, black pressure surrounded a circle, thinking that this is the traitor mentioned by the head of the Ministry of Works.

"Wronged, Hou Ye." An old man came out and knelt on the ground and said, "This is all from the county." If we want to rectify the water conservancy along the river, this project is also divided from above, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

"Master Hou, there is no rain again this winter, we are all counting on the water in the Wei River, watering the ground, and there will be a harvest next year, please be gracious to Lord Hou."

"Ask Lord Hou for mercy." For a while, hundreds of people said.

The director of the Ministry of Engineering said: "Master Hou, how important is the transportation between the north and the south, and Lord Hou also knows that it is not the iron heart of the lower officials, but the water of the canal, which is really untouchable." ”

Baoding Hou Meng Ying looked upset, waved his hand and said: "Ben Hou doesn't care what you think, disperse immediately, don't block the way of the army, otherwise, Ben Hou will use the military rule to wait, go quickly." ”

Among the twists and turns, Meng Ying may not be able to see clearly, but he doesn't want to care.

Because it is his problem whether he manages it well or badly, why should he get involved.

"Master Hou is right, you all go down." Suddenly, a young man in a brocade robe came out, followed by a few guards, and at first glance, they were all from the army, this young man saw Meng Ying, and immediately saluted and said, "Boy Chen Yu has seen Uncle Meng." ”

Meng Ying looked at it, and suddenly remembered in her heart, and said: "It turned out to be Uncle Pingjiang, it was just right, I was impatient with these things, and you took care of them on your behalf." ”

Chen Yu said: "Please rest assured Uncle Meng, the little nephew will deal with it, wait for a while, and then come to talk to Uncle Meng." As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, he went down to deal with it.
