Chapter Eighty-Four: Fighting Horses on Chang'an Street

The emperor has a great face, and naturally there are many people who are stained.

Wang Chengen, Cao Huachun, Shen Liangzuo and other great eunuchs were rewarded, needless to say, Fang Yihua, Li Ruolian and the four captains were promoted.

The eunuchs and Jinyi guards are both minions of the emperor, and the emperor does not need to go through the cabinet if he wants to give benefits, and he will not pay attention to the opinions of his ministers.

Fang Zhenghua was promoted two levels in a row to become the Imperial Horse Eunuch Admiral Eunuch, and his status was second only to the Palm Seal Eunuch and the Supervising Eunuch, and he was the third real power figure of the Imperial Horse Eunuch.

Li Ruolian also skipped the hundred households and directly became the hundred households of the Jinyi Guard, the void became a thousand households, and the four captains were promoted two levels in a row to become a small flag officer with the rank of general flag.

When the emperor learned that the head of Jiannu and the capture of Huang Han, who was still stationed five miles outside the Guangqu Gate, he had an idea.

He was ready to give these cavalrymen who fought in the bloody Jiannu a decent manner, and allowed the Huang Han Department to fight horses into the Beijing division tomorrow, and take the Jiannu and Tartar heads to ride horses and gallop straight to Chengtianmen.

Cao Huachun, Wang Chengen and Fang Zhenghua couldn't help but change color when they heard this, and they rode straight to Chengtianmen, which is the highest honor for civil officials and military generals, and they beat Chang'an Street!

Tiananmen Square was called Chengtianmen in the Ming Dynasty, which means that the true dragon Son of Heaven was ordered by heaven, and it was the gate of the imperial city.

There is a hall outside the Chengtian Gate, called the Daming Gate, there is also a door on the left and right sides of the gate, the left is called the left door of Chang'an, and the right is called the right door of Chang'an.

In this horizontal street from the left gate of Chang'an to the right gate of Chang'an, it is the meaning of Chang'an Avenue to take long-term stability.

As early as the eighteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, when Yongle Emperor Zhu Di built the capital of Beijing, the royal family carefully arranged such an east-west horizontal street in front of the imperial city.

The young son of heaven favored the young military attache Huang Han to beat the horse on Chang'an Street to show his honor, which seems to be a bit excessive, but what about Chongzhen's overdoing this?

Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian had just left the Forbidden City after facing the saint, and found that there were too many people waiting at the palace gate early.

The people who came were not only the four eunuchs who returned to Beijing first and the Jinyi Guard of Li Ruolian's General Banner, but also many high-grade eunuchs and Jinyi Guard's commander Luo Yangxing were waiting.

This time, the close ministers of the Son of Heaven and the pro-army of the Son of Heaven showed their faces, and the eunuchs and Jinyi guards were honored, and when they saw Fang and Li, they warmly invited them to drink and catch the wind.

Fang and Li were quite kind, they politely refused the kindness of their colleagues on the grounds that the Son of Heaven still had something to explain, and the two asked Shen Liangzuo, the governor of Jiumen, to let them out of the city.

Because tomorrow Huang Hanbu will take the capture to the street with the horses, and he will always have to do some equipment work tonight. Letting the brocade guards go out of the city is completely different from letting the soldiers and horses enter the city, and Shen Liangzuo immediately gave the waist card.

Fang, Li and the four lieutenants were even more enthusiastic when they saw Huang Han again, and behind them was a general banner brocade guard driving six or seven carts loaded with pigs, sheep and wine.

Fang Zhenghua said happily: "Lord Huang, great joy! Our family will be able to face the saint today, the emperor is happy, and the emperor's grace is mighty! The Son of Heaven commanded Lord Huang to take his subordinates into the city tomorrow to report the victory. It also allows you to take the 'Red Banner Army' on horseback and gallop straight to Chengtianmen. ”

Li Ruolian said with envy: "This is beating horses on Chang'an Street!" Lord Huang will become famous in one fell swoop tomorrow, and the world knows that this is the first time that the Son of Heaven has been so gracious! ”

Huang Han was quite excited, he could finally make a name for himself in the Ming Dynasty, and he finally did not waste the past few months of birth and death.

Tomorrow, we can take the "Red Banner Army" to display it in front of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Beijing with the image of heroes, and the benefits are self-evident.

It was particularly important to make a name for himself in the feudal era when news was closed, and Huang Han certainly wanted to make good use of this rare opportunity to show the budding "Red Flag Army" of an iron army in front of millions of soldiers and civilians in Beijing.

Huang Han said loudly to the soldiers around him, "Did the brothers hear it? We were born to die to kill Jiannu, kill Tartars to serve the imperial court has not been neglected, and now the Son of Heaven has remembered the 'Red Flag Army', and has given our army the high honor of fighting Chang'an Street. ”

The soldiers shouted in unison: "The Holy Son of Heaven wins, the Ming Dynasty wins!" ”

Fang Zhenghua laughed and said: "In Jiulitai Village, Lord Huang invited our family to eat barbecue and drink spirits, today it is our turn to invite our family and Li Qianhu back to invite brothers, come, you are welcome, we are all robes who fight together, and we will be drunk today." ”

Huang Han said: "Father-in-law Fang, let's not be busy drinking, tomorrow will face the saint, the 'Red Flag Army' will always be packaged!" ”

"What does packaging mean? Although Lord Huang spoke, now that he has arrived in the capital, I believe there is nothing that our family can't get. ”

"I want to ask my father-in-law and Li Qianhu to send someone back to the capital to get three or five hundred big red cloaks, think about it, when we enter the city together tomorrow, the big red cloak will flutter in the wind, and the red flag will be swept in the wind, how shocking the picture should be!"

Li Ruolian said: "Pull the wind? The word is so fresh. But our Jinyi Wei was not allowed to go straight to the gate of heaven! How can you enter the city with the 'Red Banner Army'? ”

Huang Han flickered and said: "This official didn't let all the brothers of the general banner come, you and Gonggong Fang, Lou Yun and Ai Guodong are the 'Red Banner Army' robes who have made contributions together, why not enjoy the welcome of the military and civilians of Beijing tomorrow, and the Son of Heaven did not name and let you leave the team of the victory!" ”

Fang Zhenghua nodded and said: "That's true, tomorrow will be the most faceless day, and our family will also put on a red cloak and fight horses into the city." ”

Lou Yun and Ai Guodong hurriedly shouted: "We are indeed heroes who cut down slaves, and we are not indiscriminate, Li Qianhu, whether you agree or not, we must also put on a red cloak and be decent." ”

Li Ruolian said: "Damn, since everyone is going to be in the limelight, what are you waiting for, hurry back to the city to get a big red cloak!" ”

Fang Zhenghua was afraid that something would go wrong, and the big red cloak would not be able to catch up with the "Red Flag Army" entering the city, and he would not care about drinking and going back with the Jinyi Guard.

As soon as the Jinyi guards and the eunuchs left, the camp of the "Red Banner Army" was boiling, the soldiers laughed together, and the fool grinned like a lone wolf howling at the moon.

"Brother Han, I haven't been to the capital, I didn't expect to enter the capital with such a beautiful and decent appearance, damn, it's so happy."

Liu Fenyong and Yuan Siming were so excited that their lips trembled, and they punched each other, wanting to say something, but found that they were choked in their throats.

Sang Yu, who had just joined the "Red Flag Army" not long ago, was really skilled in arching and horses, and the first time he participated in the battle, he shared a first-class Jiannu vest with three robes, and he himself cut down a Jiannu infantry armor and a banner when he was chasing the fleeing enemy.

Sang Yu counted his fingers to become the small flag officer of the "Red Flag Army" for seven or eight days, and he didn't expect to be able to get the opportunity to meet the Son of Heaven, he shouted: "It's really a bright future to follow Lord Huang!" We must have cultivated the virtue of our ancestors. ”
