In the evening, the sun gradually set from the horizon west of Hengzhou City. Zhu Gaoxu only left the city at this time and came to the camp of 50,000 troops under Wang Bin's command.

There are more than 100,000 people in Hengzhou City today, and the barracks left by the officials and soldiers in the city are not enough to live; The army did not have time to arrange more houses that day. So some of the men and horses camped near the school field outside the city, including the soldiers who surrendered after the Battle of Baoqing Mansion.

These armies, the generals above the commander of the guard have been replaced; However, there are too many soldiers in the army, and many of the soldiers in it belong to the Beijing camp, so they have not been reorganized.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly came to the barracks with his guards, and many soldiers around stood up and looked over here.

After a while, the convoy carrying pigs, sheep, and wine also arrived outside the camp. These things are things prepared by the Hengzhou City Government and used to reward the army; Zhu Gaoxu ordered that the military camps of the surrendered army should also be divided.

Some generals in the barracks in various places rushed over on horseback after hearing the news. After everyone saw the salute, they welcomed Zhu Gaoxu into the camp gate.

"Bring the wine!" Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and ordered.

The people rode to the gate of the camp office, and a wooden cart with a wine jar also arrived. Then the soldiers brought iron cups and bowls, and poured wine on them. The soldiers in the vicinity saw that there was wine to drink, and more and more soldiers came around. There was a lot of talk from everyone, and the surroundings gradually became noisy.

Zhu Gaoxu did not issue a military order, but picked up a bowl of wine in the crowd very casually, and said directly: "Brothers, do it! ”

"!" The generals who brought the wine bowl and cup all echoed for a while, and the sound of the wine in the stomach was very sweet in the mouths of the soldiers.

Zhu Gaoxu drank the wine without saying a word, then put down the bowl, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then looked back and said: "You are all my military households of the Ming Dynasty, and some of them are brothers (Jingying) who fought side by side with this king during the 'Battle of Jingjing'. Everyone is not an outsider, and I am also a military general with troops, so I opened my mouth and said! ”

The surroundings gradually quieted down, and they all watched Zhu Gaoxu's attitude.

Zhu Gaoxu paused and said straightforwardly: "Brothers, just rest assured, this king will definitely not be a general of the puppet imperial court!" I don't think there's anything wrong with you, and there's nothing wrong with you! It's just a matter of obeying the military orders from above. Obeying military orders is the duty of a soldier, what is wrong? It's the traitors who are greedy for power and lust for profit in Jingshi!

I understand that the brothers and family members from the camps of Jingshi are all on the side of Zhili. I don't embarrass everyone, and after a while, they will be transferred to Guizhou and Sichuan to garrison; As soon as the 'Battle of Crime' is over, you will return to Beijing to reunite with your families. ”

Some of the generals were thinking about something, and some of them quickly said, "Thank you King Han for your leniency......"

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "This king promises to go to Beijing soon, and you won't wait too long to go home and reunite!" ”

There was a lot of talk and noise. Zhu Gaoxu was afraid that the soldiers of the surrendered army would still have doubts, and then explained solemnly: "The Ming Dynasty has thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and when will it be necessary to have warriors to defend the land and the people. The brethren have been through a hundred battles, and they are really elite, and the country will need you in the future. ”

People echoed for a while, and one of the generals even shouted: "We all support King Han as emperor!" ”

The crowd was in an uproar. Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, pretended not to hear, and continued to say loudly: "The brothers whose military registration is in Yunnan, Guichuan, Guangxi, Huguang and other places, each of them is voluntary, and those who are willing to join the crime army will stay; If you don't want to, the Han Wangfu will wrap the grain and go home, and report to the local health department.

Those who are not in these places will first stay in the barracks; When this king occupies the land where your army is located, you will go wherever you want, and you will do it of your own free will. The general trend of the puppet dynasty has gone, if you go back, you will have to be requisitioned and sent to your life, it is better to wait first! ”

A military general not far away said: "His Royal Highness the King of Han, the brothers of the military household in the guard station are not thin, we only regret not following the King of Han to raise troops......"

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said, "Each battalion has watered the pig and sheep wine, take a good rest!" ”

"Thank you, King Han!" The generals said one after another.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to take a look, and Chen Dazhui quickly led the horse over. Zhu Gaoxu turned over his horse and walked out of the barracks surrounded by a large group of soldiers.

Back in Hengzhou City, the sun has completely set; There is still light in the heavens and the earth, but the light is fading.

The battle of Huguang ended for many days, and Zhu Gaoxu also calmed down from the ecstasy at this time. Coupled with the fact that there was a lot of aftermath after the war, he was a bit busy and almost forgot to celebrate.

Before the war, he was looking for a hundred beauties to repair the car, but he couldn't get his wish for the time being. Zhu Gaoxu is in the area on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River, often sleeping in the open air, and can only find village girls and women, and he can't get a hundred beauties at all.

In recent days, he has even gradually become a little flustered......

We all support King Han as emperor! The words of a strange martial artist were recalled by Zhu Gaoxu again.

Zhu Gaoxu understood his goal more clearly: to lead the army to advance to Beijing as soon as possible and ascend the throne as emperor!

How to rule such a large territory, hundreds of millions of people, and how to be an emperor, Zhu Gaoxu knows nothing! He didn't really want to be an emperor before, and if it weren't for the fact that he wouldn't be destroyed, he would rather be a vassal king.

But now that things have come to this point and come to this point, he has only one choice: he must be the emperor.

Whether he was willing or unwilling, ecstatic or nervous, he could only do that! Either you rule the world, or you have to die sooner or later, there is no third way...... If there is any other clan that can claim the title of emperor, the biggest goal must be to eradicate Zhu Gaoxu; His threat is just too great!

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu understood the reason for his panic: because he did not sit on the throne of the emperor for one day, he would still be in danger one day. You have to seize that authority so that you can sleep in peace.

As for how to stabilize the throne and govern the world in the future after having authority, he is at a loss. What the history books say about the Ming monarch and the holy monarch, how to be benevolent, friendly and morally noble, the current Zhu Gaoxu does not believe it.

However, after so many years of experience in charging into battle and arranging battles, Zhu Gaoxu still learned a lot from the war.

He felt that doing a big thing might have something in common with fighting a battle...... Starting from the preliminary preparations such as the selection of soldiers, grain and grass, and generals, the victory or defeat is already brewing; It is by no means the last moment of the battle that suddenly decides the outcome of the battle.

Things didn't go well at the beginning, and when the battlefield defeat was revealed, it was estimated that almost all managers could do nothing but watch things fall towards the abyss.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu has recently felt that he seems to be more and more cautious in doing things on his own. Of course, he would not kill those soldiers indiscriminately, because he could not guess what the consequences would be in the future.
