Behind the Dongjiang Army, there was no need for the introduction of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, as soon as they came out, the people of Beijing would recognize them. Because this infantry and riding army is the three major battalions under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, it is the Ming army that they are most familiar with.

Most of the officers and men of this army have medals on their chests, so to speak. There is no need for the introduction of officials of the Ministry of Rites, the people of Beijing can guess that there are medals for those battles: the Battle of Tianjin, the Battle of Tumutebu, the Battle of Nanyang, the Battle of Tashan, the Battle of Guihua City, the Battle of Jinzhou, the Battle of the Grassland, and the Battle of Yaozhouyi. It can be said that almost all of the three major battalions have been in the Ming Dynasty's victories over the years.

For this army, the people of Jingshi gave the warmest cheers! And the three battalions were not surprised, giving the emperor the greatest cheers.

As can be seen from the previous appearances, the higher the merit of the army, the later the appearance. One of the most intuitive proofs of this is that they have more and more medals on their chests. However, to the surprise of the people of Beijing, and even many civil and military officials, there was an army behind the three major battalions.

This army is obviously the finale army, all of them are infantry troops, there are not many people, and you can see at a glance that behind them, there are no other armies. In this way, it is even stranger to all those who see it. Some people who are anxious can't wait to ask about the people around them.

"Which army is this, and it turned out to be the finale?"

"You ask me, who do I ask, I don't know!"

"It's so strange, the medal on their chest, do you see? It's just one piece, why are they at the end? ”

"yes, it's really only one medal but it's at the end, could it be this army, there is a credit we don't know, right? However, it shouldn't be, this army only has one medal! ”

“……”

While they were all discussing, Zheng Zhilong, who was standing in the queue of military attachés, although he didn't see the words on the flag, he recognized it at first sight, it was his subordinates, the army selected from the Denglai Naval Division to participate in this parade.

Before, he had wondered. Watching the armies pass by, I didn't see the shadow of the Denglai Sailor. He even wondered for a while that it was because he found that the Sailor had made too little contribution, or that the Battle of Arthur Bay, which defeated the Jianyu Sailor Division, was too simple, so he disqualified the Denglai Sailor from the parade, right?

Seriously, Zheng Zhilong had such a suspicion when he saw that the Dongjiang Army and the three major battalions had appeared, and there was no figure of the Denglai Water Division.

In fact, the water master has always had no status, which is also recognized. Even if such a situation occurs, in the eyes of everyone, it is reasonable and there is nothing wrong with it.

However, at this time, Zheng Zhilong was stunned when he saw that the Denglai Sailor actually appeared as the finale. No matter what, he didn't expect to be the last one to appear.

After the initial shock and coming back to his senses, Zheng Zhilong, as a person who had talked about the future with Emperor Chongzhen, roughly guessed the emperor's intentions at the first time. In the future, it belongs to the water master!

Getting this conclusion, Zheng Zhilong suddenly showed a very excited expression, turned his head to look at Emperor Chongzhen, and his eyes were full of fanaticism: The last general will definitely do his best to check the Ming banner to the end of the ocean!

At this time, the people of Jingshi had already seen the words on the banner clearly, and they were all stunned, and for a while, there was a rare quiet time in Fengtianmen Square.

Looking at the reaction of the people of Jingshi, these soldiers of Denglai Water Division were actually nervous in their hearts.

When he was still in the camp of the Imperial Horse Prison, when the officials of the Ministry of Rites came to arrange the order of appearance, some people questioned whether it was a mistake, and even the soldiers of the Denglai Navy Division themselves thought it was a mistake.

However, at that time, the official of the Ministry of Rites simply replied to them: "This is a royal decree, and there can be no mistake!" ”

Since it was requested by the emperor, then the other troops had nothing to say. And when the soldiers of the Denglai Sailor Division walked in the last appearance, they inevitably lacked confidence in their hearts.

After the people of Jingshi reacted, they all began to whisper, just wondering why a mere sailor actually appeared in the finale?

Although their words were not loud based on etiquette, they were finally heard by many sailors. In this way, they are even more empty-minded. Even when they walked, they did not have the momentum of the army in front.

Emperor Chongzhen at the head of the city has always been on a military parade, and when he saw this scene, he understood what the situation was.

Therefore, after the soldiers of the Denglai Sailor shouted "Long live my emperor", suddenly, Emperor Chongzhen opened his mouth and said loudly: "Although I only awarded a medal to the Denglai Sailor, those who are good at fighting have no outstanding merits. It was precisely because of the invincibility of the Denglai naval division at sea that a series of victories against the captives were guaranteed. I can say that without the Denglai Sailor, it would be impossible for the Ming Dynasty to turn the tide of the battle at once, and the Jianyu would not have the strength to parry......"

Hearing this, the soldiers of the Denglai Water Division thought in their hearts, but no! If it weren't for them, the Dongjiang Army would not have existed at all, and it would have been impossible for the previous wars to be effectively dispatched, and it would have been impossible for materials to be transported to the greatest extent. Without them, Daming's side could only push over step by step from the Ningjin defense line......

Thinking about it, the soldiers of the Denglai Water Division, their chests involuntarily straightened a little. For Emperor Chongzhen, on the basis of the due respect for the emperor, there is also the mentality of knowing the grace of encounter.

And the others listened to it, and the explanation of Emperor Chongzhen was acceptable. Only some people who are more serious secretly compare the three major battalions in their hearts, and they feel a little unconvinced. However, if the emperor has said so, then it can only be based on the words of Emperor Chrysostom.

They were thinking about it, but they heard Emperor Chongzhen say again: "The great changes in the world are the biggest in history. The future of my Ming Dynasty will largely depend on you. I think you are qualified to make the finale, and I believe that you will not disappoint me! ”

Only Zheng Zhilong foresaw his words. Zheng Zhilong is the only one who can understand the great changes in the world that the emperor said, what does he mean?

The others, however, were dumbfounded.

The great change in the world is the biggest in history? Isn't this the building about to be destroyed, isn't the world going to be peaceful? Even if there is the Southwest Sap Rebellion, it is just a trivial matter. Could it be that the emperor made a slip of the tongue for a while, right?

Although this is such an idea, the emperor is wise and martial, and it is definitely impossible to say that he is wrong. And didn't the emperor say that the future of the Ming Dynasty still depends on the Denglai Water Master, so what does this mean? Is it to rely on the Denglai Naval Division to win, and the enemy is from the sea?

Not to mention, many people think along this line of thought. Especially those important ministers of the court, knowing the emperor's attitude towards Xiyi, and then thinking of the things about Xiyi that the emperor mentioned before, they suddenly understood why the emperor said this.

However, these people who are far away in the northern capital, whether they are ordinary people or important ministers of the imperial court, do not know enough about the threat of Xiyi. Therefore, even if someone thinks of it, it is a little unimpressed. However, the emperor has decided so, and it can only be like this.

What they didn't expect was that soon, Emperor Chongzhen's prophecy began to appear gradually. When that time came, they inevitably admired the emperor's foresight.

After the military parade, the Imperial Palace, in other words, is to open the year-end summary meeting.

Chongzhen's seventeen years of treasury revenue, because the bank has accumulated over the years, has begun to make a lot of profits. However, the biggest thing is to verify the preferential exemption limit of the official gentry and the reminder of the arrears.

There is Zhang Pu, a "cool official" presiding over this matter, and after Changshu's rebellion, the case of the dismissal of hundreds of officials, the text has the support of Sun Chuanting, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials, and Yang Tinglin, the imperial history of Nanjing, the left capital, and the military has the support of the eunuchs of Nanjing at any time. It can be said that Zhang Pu's errands in the southern provinces have not suffered much difficulty. Especially after the sugar-coated shells were useless, it was even more smooth.

Although the cleared tax fields and the arrears collected did not enter the state treasury and were directly used by the local people, they greatly solved the pressure on the state treasury, so that all other aspects were more in and less out, and the surplus naturally increased.

The profitability of the glass factory, although it has not yet become the bulk of the national treasury's revenue, has already begun to show its strength. It is foreseeable that even if it does not become the largest revenue of the treasury next year, it will definitely become the largest revenue of the treasury the year after next.

After talking about money, it is a matter of civil and military.

In terms of Wude, the most important thing is the war against the captives, as well as the restructuring of the Gyeongyeong and Gyeonggi Guards. The army, which was eliminated from the regular army, after being transformed into an engineer army, built roads and bridges, summed up in one sentence, had limited achievements.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen did not care. In this era, it is completely by manpower to build roads, how fast can it be! Besides, even cement has not been developed, and the ground has been soaked by rain, and it is estimated that it will be busy again.

Emperor Chongzhen wrote down this matter in his heart, although he didn't know the specific cement formula, but he had seen a lot of historical travel. Cement is a thing, I will mention it, what is the situation, he has an impression, and he will definitely be able to test it when he goes back and asks Song Yingxing to test it. After all, Xiyi has already had this thing, so the difficulty shouldn't be that high.

In terms of text, there have been a lot of things in the past year.

Liaodong and Korea want to establish new provinces, although the Jianyu has not been completely destroyed, but the emperor has already decreed that he will be selected and send some of them over first. This situation is a big situation, and the progress must be reported.

In addition, even the achievements of the agricultural department must also be made clear to the emperor. There has not been much progress in the development of hybrid rice, led by the Department of Agriculture. After all, there is no plastic, there is no greenhouse, and the progress is very slow to test in a natural environment. However, other things in the agricultural department, such as the promotion of sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other things, made the emperor feel more satisfied.

On the side of the Kaiwu Division, it is even more sensational throughout the country. The emperor's lesson to the crown prince has spread all over the world as the palace newspaper has spread all over the world, and the shock caused by this can be imagined.

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen also secretly contributed to the troubles, and he hoped that the seeds of science and technology could sprout.

……

After everything was done, Emperor Chongzhen said, "This year's situation is good, and I look forward to a better year ahead." As the Chinese New Year is approaching, I announce another happy thing. ”

After finishing speaking, he nodded at Cao Huachun, the eunuch who was the master of ceremonies.

When Cao Huachun saw it, he immediately bowed down and saluted the emperor, then stepped forward, carefully picked up a holy decree from the imperial case, and turned his head to look at the queue of generals below.
