Zhang Mingwei could have gone out later, because according to the Kuaima report, the time when the cavalry arrived in Beijing would be a little later.

Generally speaking, after the cavalry arrived outside the capital city, it would be no problem for him to go out of the city. Let them wait, not let Xingguo Gong wait, is a common phenomenon in this era.

However, Zhang Mingwei did not want to do this. It was a soldier who defended the country, a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, who had just fought on the grassland for two consecutive months.

Because they, at least on the front line of the Great Wall, it is estimated that in many years, at least ten years, even if the Ming Dynasty no longer cares about the affairs of the grassland, it is estimated that the Mongolian Tartars will not have the courage to invade the pass again.

They are meritorious soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, so they should naturally be courteous, just go and wait for them for a while, Zhang Mingwei doesn't mind!

After leaving the city, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division had already sent people to clear out the camp where the army was stationed. Seeing that the Duke of Xingguo and Princess Kunxing appeared so quickly, they were surprised and rushed to pay their respects.

Zhang Mingwei inspected and asked about the relevant logistics.

The leader here is the right squire of the military department, who originally had some opinions in his heart. However, seeing that Xingguo Gong attached so much importance to it, he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly told Xingguo Gong one by one.

It stands to reason that the affairs of the army are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. However, Min Hongxue should be old and in poor health. Many times, it is no longer up to go to court. This arranges the exhausting work of the army, and it is impossible to participate.

Therefore, Zhang Mingwei will do this work for him. After all, these armies that were originally thieves were recruited by him, and they were originally his subordinates.

Zhang Mingwei was still a little dissatisfied with the logistics, feeling that the military department still didn't pay much attention to this victorious cavalry, so he gave a lot of opinions and asked them to rectify it immediately.

After being busy for about half an hour, the army striker arrived first and told the army of its whereabouts.

Fast horses galloped back and forth, and finally after another half an hour passed, the traces of the cavalry could be seen at the head of the capital city.

The dust that was raised could be seen from afar.

Seriously, if it weren't for the notice posted by the imperial court in advance, the Xingguo Gong would have gone out of the city, and it would have spread all over the capital. On the premise of not understanding the situation, many people are afraid that they will be frightened.

Because the Jingshi side has experienced it several times, and the cavalry army came in a big way, and it was generally the Jianyu and the Mongol coalition army that broke through the pass and entered the land of Gyeonggi.

The main strikers were Gao Yigong and Hao Shaoqi, and they were very excited when they heard Kuaima say that the Duke of Xingguo and Princess Kunxing had been waiting outside the city for a long time, and they hurriedly passed the news to the rear army, and they sped up.

Seeing a large group of people surrounded by brocade guards from a distance, he immediately ordered the whole army to stop, and then led the horse over on foot, lest the dust brought up by the army would stain the Duke of Xingguo and Princess Kunxing.

Subsequently, Gao Yigong and Hao Shaoqi, together with the Jinyi Guards in the army, trotted over, and before they got close, they clasped their hands into fists and saluted, their voices were a little choked, and they excitedly said loudly: "The last general Gao Yigong (Hao Shaoqi) has seen Her Royal Highness the princess, the prince of the country!" ”

To be honest, the Duke of Xingguo and Princess Kunxing would go out of the city to wait for them, which they never expected anyway.

They were born as thieves, although they were recruited to become officials and soldiers, and they made military achievements. But, in the end, they still have some inferiority complex in their hearts. For example, in the face of the white pole army, their confidence is obviously insufficient.

This time when they went to Beijing to rest, in the eyes of Gao Yigong and Hao Shaoqi, they were even a little worried, would the imperial court do anything to them? Even if you don't dig over old accounts, it's not impossible to give them small shoes for people who were born as thieves.

For these, they actually have psychological expectations.

In this way, it was strange that they were not excited when they knew that the Duke of Xingguo and Princess Kunxing were waiting for them outside the Jingshi City!

Not only is it an old superior, a guide, but also a dignified princess and a princess, waiting for them!

Zhang Mingwei saw their dusty appearance, so he smiled and stretched out his hands to signal: "You have fought for the country, and you have worked hard!" ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard......" Hao Shaoqi and Gao Yigong heard this, and hurriedly replied with their hands swinging.

Zhang Mingwei immediately smiled, and Princess Kunxing, riding horses, accompanied by them, went to inspect the cavalry soldiers first.

When these cavalry soldiers saw them coming, they all held their heads high, showed their best spirit, and were excitedly inspected.

"The soldiers have worked hard!" Every time he walked a short distance, Zhang Mingwei would greet them with a smile.

It's a pity that he didn't hear a similar response from later generations, but just stood up straighter with excitement one by one.

Before he finished the parade, the follow-up cavalry troops also arrived one after another because of the speed they had accelerated.

Li Guo, Tian Jianxiu, Yuan Zongdi, etc., just like Hao Shaoqi and Gao Yigong, were moved by the heartwarming actions of Xingguo Gong and Princess Kunxing.

By the time they had all gone through the rounds, it was already getting dark, and of course, it could have been because of winter, and it was getting dark quickly.

Zhang Mingwei said to them: "Your Majesty has a decree to summon you in the Wuying Hall tomorrow." Today, you guys have a good rest! If there is anything needed in the army, tell the people in the military department that it is, I have already explained it. ”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at the Jinyi guards and said to them with a smile: "I know, you have been on the expedition with me since last year, and now you have just returned, and it is estimated that a heart has already flown to your family. But you should wait for another day, and wait until tomorrow when His Majesty Wuying Hall summons you before going home!" ”

When the Jinyi guards heard this, they also burst into laughter.

To tell the truth, what they are fighting outside, day and night, is of course in the family of Jingshi. Now that he is triumphant, he wants to return to his hometown and see his family as soon as possible.

But no matter how urgent it is, it won't be in a hurry on such a day.

………………

The news about the cavalry army outside the city naturally spread in Jingshi and became the center of discussion among the people of Beijing.

It has to be said that this cavalry army is very topical.

The adapted thieves, from the thief army in the troubled world, suddenly became a pawn of the imperial court, went out for the country, beat the Mongolian Tatars and fled, and destroyed the previously arrogant Altan Khan's tribe, and now after arriving in Beijing to rest, he will go to Liaodong to fight with Jianyu.

This kind of change, how not to make the people of Beijing sigh!

Many of them are even speculating that if they come over this time, what will the emperor do with them now? Is it a reward for ordinary troops, or a grudge against the burning of the imperial tomb that year, will it settle the old score?

However, when they knew that Xingguo Gong personally went out of the city to wait for this team, they guessed with a high probability that the current emperor would not settle old scores with them.

In this way, after the next day, on the main road of the Jingshi into the city, the soldiers of the soldiers and horses of the five cities blocked the road and imposed martial law.

Later, I saw Xingguo Gong go out of the city, and then led a group of generals and Jinyi Guard captains into the city and went to the Forbidden City.

The people who were watching were all staring, and while watching, they naturally couldn't help but talk.

"Have you seen it, it turned out that the Duke of Xingguo led the left and right attendants of the military department out of the city to greet him, is this too exaggerated?"

"Yes, even if it was the victory of the Yongwei Battalion back then, there was no such courtesy, and they all worked hard to drive the left and right servants of the Xingguo Gong and the Ministry of War!"

“……”

Everyone was amazed.

And the family members of the Jinyi Guards who rushed to watch in the crowd when they heard the news were all very excited.

After more than a year of separation, he came back safe and sound, and was treated so courteously by the imperial court, it was obvious that he had a bright future. The anxiety and worry of waiting all turned into excitement and excitement.

They were like this, and the Jinyi guards naturally discovered them, but under the attention of everyone, especially the Xingguo Gong and the left and right attendants of the military department, they didn't dare to say hello, but they were very excited in their hearts.

As for Li Guo and Gao Yigong, this is the first time in their lives that they have entered the Beijing Division, and with the identity of triumphant soldiers, to be honest, the emotion and excitement in their hearts will not be less than that of the Jinyi Guards.

Although they didn't squint, they still saw the prosperity of the capital and the smiles of the people under the tranquility, which made them further believe that the choice they made was the right one.

There is a peaceful life to live, everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, who is not happy?

………………

After arriving in the Forbidden City, Emperor Chongzhen really summoned them in the Wuying Palace.

Zhang Mingwei had already told him before that the Ming Dynasty could not only pacify the civil strife, but to fight for hegemony in the world and the world.

Just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the struggle for hegemony at that time was only limited to the Central Plains. Today's hegemony is aimed at the world.

In this way, the military is the top priority. Without an army, how can we compete for global domination?

Therefore, the previous "Regulations on the Preferential Treatment and Pension of Ming Soldiers" was promulgated, and this time there was an exceptional emphasis on triumphant soldiers.

With such an understanding, Emperor Chongzhen naturally did not hesitate to spare his generosity, not only summoned them in the Wuying Palace, and rewarded them according to the military merits that had been discussed before, but also gave a banquet in the Wuying Palace, which glorified these generals and supervisors once.

After that, the generals went back to the barracks outside the city to rest, and all the weapons and equipment had to be replenished and replaced, and things had to be busy.

The Jinyi Guard supervisors all returned to the Jinyi Guard's Yamen, and Zhang Mingwei gave them three days off before arranging.

According to what he discussed with Emperor Chongzhen, of course, these Jinyi Guards will be promoted, and some of them will stay in the Jingshi Jinyi Guards Yamen to train more Jinyi Guards for the Ming Dynasty; The other part will continue to accompany the army. However, the army will rotate.

Just as Jingshi was busy with these things, a fast horse messenger rushed to Jingshi from Shandong day and night, disrupting these things.
