Chapter 268: Cloud Guard Triumphant
A few hours later, Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao rushed to Tianjin Wei.
The commander of Tianjin Wei sued Xie Zhi for the treasure ship anchored here, but the final fact was that he used the treasure ship that he sued to directly exterminate the Japanese who were active at sea.
Therefore, in the first battle, Yun Zhongwei also became completely famous.
But when the commander saw Xie Zhi again, his confidence was quite insufficient, after all, now Xie Zhi is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Five Armies, and he is not the top boss, but Xie Zhi has the power to directly and thoroughly investigate him.
"Your Royal Highness, Du Yushi, Yun Zhongwei estimates that it will take some time to arrive, why don't you go to Xiaguan to rest your feet first, and Xiaguan has prepared wine and food."
Xie came here with Zhu Houzhao on this trip, and it was Zhu Houzhao's decision to go or not.
Xie Zhi did not answer, waiting for Zhu Houzhao's response.
Before the commander's voice fell, Zhu Houzhao immediately raised his eyebrows and reprimanded coldly: "Brother Yun Zhongwei slept for the Ming Dynasty and fought bloodily outside, and the palace wants to welcome the return of the triumphant soldiers and walk a few steps to eat first, so you can chill the hearts of the soldiers, you and the palace have this idea, in the end, it is with the heart?" ”
The commander invited Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao to dinner, but he would have thought that he would be deducted such a big hat in turn.
The conductor stammered a few times, as if he could not find a reason to excuse himself.
In this case, no matter how he explained it, it seemed a little inappropriate.
Zhu Houzhao has a lot of problems, but there is no such stinky problem as greedy for pleasure.
The commander couldn't explain, but Xie Zhi said: "You and His Highness won't go, you go and prepare wine and food to welcome the triumph of the Yun Zhongwei brothers." ”
Yun Zhongwei's soldiers have been fighting bloody battles outside for nearly half a year since Tianjin Wei boarded the ship, and now that they have returned from such a great victory, they naturally want to prepare a celebration wine for them.
The commander's performance on this point was quite satisfactory, explaining: "The lower official has received the order to welcome Yun Zhongwei here, so he ordered to start preparing wine and food, and the camping place is also ready, Yun Zhongwei can repair first and then return to the camp. ”
Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao both thought so.
Yun Zhongwei finally set foot on the land of the Ming Dynasty, and he had to repair it first and then set off back to Yunzhong.
Moreover, Emperor Hongzhi also specially issued an order to meet the governors of more than 100 households in Yunzhongwei, and also set up a banquet in the palace to celebrate their achievements.
Therefore, after arriving in Tianjinwei, the other soldiers returned to Yunzhong, but more than 100 households had to follow Xie Zhi and them back to Beijing.
Yunzhongwei was equipped with more than 5,000 people, although they all had great merits, but they could not pull all of them to Jingshi, accepted the meeting of Emperor Hongzhi and then returned to Yunzhong.
After the commander answered, Zhu Houzhao's face softened slightly, but he didn't pay any attention to him and rushed directly to the dock.
On the pier, the people were already greeting.
These people came here because of the government's organization, but they were also somewhat spontaneous.
The victory of the peace and security means that the coastal waters are calm, the coast is safe, and their lives on the water can be better, and they are more or less grateful.
After waiting for more than an hour, I saw a small black dot floating in the distance.
Gu Dayong, who was standing next to Zhu Houzhao, exclaimed, "It's here." ”
Zhu Houzhao didn't pay attention to him, staring at the sea without blinking.
After about half an hour, I finally saw the big ship flying the flag coming from far and near.
Seeing that these big ships were about to approach, more than a dozen large boats actually lined up, and then began to turn their guns to aim at the welcoming crowd on the shore.
The people had seen the artillery, and knew what it was that had been turned to them.
A swarm of them began to flee privately.
Gu Dayong also shouted beside Zhu Houzhao: "Your Highness, run, the artillery is about to hit." ”
Zhu Houzhao and Xie Zhi were standing at the forefront of the dock, and if the artillery hit, they would definitely be the ones who suffered.
Zhu Houzhao was quite calm and had no intention of escaping, but Xie Zhi kicked Gu Dayong and scolded: "What are you talking about, it's a salute that can't hurt anyone." ”
Gu Dayong was surprised and asked rhetorically, "Salute?" ”
Xie Zhi glanced at him, didn't bother to explain to him, and directly ordered: "Call the people back first, and greet the triumph well, what is it like an enemy attack?" ”
The gunpowder required for the salute was the easiest to configure, and Xie Zhi made it before he made the black powder, so that it could be used in a victorious battle.
As for how to adjust the position of the muzzle when it is used, it is clearly stipulated.
As the crowd became confused, the cannon of the large ship on the sea had been fired.
Knock knock, knock knock.
I only heard the sound, but I didn't see the artillery falling and hurting people, and the people who fled in all directions gradually calmed down.
After the people calmed down, Xie Zhicai said: "This is a salute, specially designed for victory, it will not hurt people, don't panic." ”
There was a false alarm, and a group of people who fled in all directions returned to their original positions, praising the salute in their mouths.
Xie Zhi didn't mention a word to Zhu Houzhao when he came up with this salute, but when the boat turned the muzzle of the cannon towards them, Zhu Houzhao could still stand as steady as Mount Tai, which really didn't require a little courage to do, but more courage.
Xie Zhi felt more and more that Zhu Houzhao was more and more in line with the standards of the eloquent monarch.
Sooner or later, this throne will have to be Zhu Houzhao's, and the more capable Zhu Houzhao is, the more developed the Ming Dynasty has now can be kept.
Zhu Houzhao is only less than twenty years old now, if he doesn't toss around indiscriminately and live to be seventy years old, even if Zhu Houzhao's son is only an ability to become a monarch, then with these fifty years and ten years, the Ming Dynasty can develop into an existence that cannot be surpassed.
Regarding the question of the salute, even if Xie Zhi did not take the initiative to explain, Zhu Houzhao would have asked and asked, "This salute is similar to fireworks, right?" ”
Xie Zhi nodded in agreement and said, "It's about the same, but there are still some differences." ”
After Xie Zhi only explained a few words, the ships on the sea began to anchor and dock.
After the boat stopped, Zhu Houzhao greeted him.
Since Zhu Houzhao is here to greet the triumph, the steps that should be taken must still be taken.
The first to get off the ship was naturally Qi Jingtong, followed by Liu Aliang and a few pirates who came over.
After a few people disembarked, Qi Jingtong took the lead in saluting Zhu Houzhao and Xie Zhi.
Zhu Houzhao helped Qi Jingtong up and said with a smile: "General Qi has worked hard, excuse me." ”
After all the etiquette of the line was done, Xie Zhi finally said, "The brothers are all good." ”
Qi Jingtong was only a hundred households in the past, but now he can directly lead the troops to the battle, and he has earned such a great achievement, Xie Zhi can be regarded as a grace of knowledge.
It is true that Qi Jingtong has his own talent, but Yun Zhongwei is a trained elite soldier, and it is also related to Yun Zhongwei himself to win so easily.
This can be regarded as feeding the rice directly to Qi Jingtong's mouth, just waiting for him to chew it himself.
Naturally, Qi Jingtong is grateful to the person Xie Zhi feeds.
After Xie Zhi spoke, Qi Jingtong smiled and said, "It's not hard, it's an honor for the brothers." ”
It didn't take long to stay on the dock before all the soldiers of Yun Zhongwei rushed to the camping place arranged by the commander of the athletics.
The tents in this place are all newly erected, and there are already soldiers cooking on the stoves.
After arriving at the place, Zhu Houzhao did not sit down directly, but walked around the camping place a few times first, and made sure that the camp was free of any flaws for the time being, and then led Xie Zhi and the others to the big tent arranged for him.
The Tianjin Wei Commander is also a host, so he must be accompanied by him.
Only Xie Zhi, Zhu Houzhao, Qi Jingtong, and the Tianjin Wei commander were left in the big tent.
At this time, Xie Zhicai spoke: "Your Majesty decreed, you will take over as the commander of Yunzhongwei, and the commanders of more than 100 households in Yunzhongwei need to enter Beijing after repairing, Your Majesty will meet you, and the rest of the soldiers need to return to Yunzhong." ”
The meaning was said by thanks, but Qi Jingtong was a little difficult to accept.
He didn't think about squeezing Xie Zhi out completely.
Xie Zhi didn't think much about it, he could still worry less about stepping down, and said: "This battle can win this battle, it can be seen that you and your brothers are running in very well, do a good job." ”
In front of Zhu Houzhao, Qi Jingtong didn't say much and responded directly.
