Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, and a grand wedding will be held a year ago, Zhu Cijiong's eagerness can be imagined, and after he returned to the Khan Court, he accelerated the processing of the aftermath of Mo Nan, and sent it out violently with a holy decree:

First of all, he ordered the Henan Reserve Corps, the Shaanxi Reserve Corps, and the Shanxi Reserve Corps to take turns to garrison various fortresses in the three grasslands, and the garrison of each fort was reduced to 5,000, and the three reserve corps, each corps, was stationed for one year, and every three years.

At the beginning, 10,000 people were stationed in each fortress to defend hundreds of thousands of Manchu and Mongolian coalition troops, but now there is no alien race in northern Xinjiang with such strong strength, so naturally there is no need to send 10,000 people to each fortress, 5,000 people are enough. As for the equipment, there are ready-made ones in the artillery forts, and the three corps of muskets were originally equipped with tens of thousands, plus more than 100,000 imitation 24-type flintlock pistols captured from the Qing army, which is enough.

Then, he ordered the cavalry of the Guanning Army and the Tianxiong Army to go to the battlefield with the Manchurian and Mongolian coalition forces to build the Monan Martyrs Cemetery as a place for posterity to mourn, and ordered the household department to prepare a reward for meritorious soldiers and issue pensions for the fallen soldiers, everything was as said before the war, doubled! At the same time, he also ordered the Ministry of Industry to give priority to the families of fallen soldiers when recruiting mine managers and miscellaneous chores in various places, and to give them preferential treatment.

Then, he ordered the establishment of the Mo Nan Xuan Political Envoy Division, as for the division of the state capital, county and township and the selection of officials, he handed over to the Ministry of Officials, so far the territory of the Ming Dynasty has expanded to two capitals and fourteen provinces, plus two Zhili Prefectures, Liaodong Fengtianfu and Dongfan Chengtianfu, the territory has almost expanded to the heyday.

Then, he ordered the Ministry of Industry to send officials to convert the original Manchu military factory into a simple steel mill, and organized the Manchu and Mongolian Qingzhuang to excavate iron ore mines.

Then, he ordered the Dingliao army to escort 250,000 prisoners from the middle of the Chahar grassland, that is, the location of the Manchu Khan's court, to build a railway to the Horqin grassland, and also ordered the Wuwei army to escort 250,000 prisoners from the middle of the Horqin grassland to build a railway to the Hailar grassland.

In the end, he ordered the Guanning Army and the Dongjiang Army to withdraw to Liaodong to be stationed on standby, and the Tianxiong Army and the First Army of the Frontier Army to withdraw to Beidaying to be stationed on standby.

At this point, the trip to northern Xinjiang, which lasted more than a month, was finally successfully concluded, and Zhu Cijiong ordered the accompanying First Army of the Praetorian Guard, the Dingliao Army, and the cavalry of the Guanning Army and the Tianxiong Army to pack up their bags, escort the Manchu and Mongolian prisoners of war, set off from the camp, and rushed to the capital.

The master of Zhongxing triumphed, as soon as the news was released by the "Beijing News", the entire Ming Dynasty exploded, not only the people of the capital flocked to the official road in the north of the city to see the demeanor of the lord of Zhongxing; From Beidaying to Jizhou and then to Tongzhou, people from all over the country spontaneously rushed to the official road on both sides of the road to welcome; Even in Nanzhili, Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other provinces, many civilians rushed to the capital by train at their own expense!

Some smart traders immediately discovered the business opportunity, they traveled thousands of miles from Lingnan and even Nanyang to buy countless flowers, and used the train to pull them to Beidaying to the capital along the line, the price has increased tenfold and is still in short supply!

All of a sudden, flowers were waving along the way, colorful flags were flying, and cheers were continuous, and Zhu Cijiong, who was harmed, had to order someone to dismantle the wooden car on the dragon chariot to protect against the wind and snow, and only set up a canopy, just braving the cold wind, facing the snow, smiling all the way, waving all the way, until he entered the imperial city.

At this time, Zhu Cijiong's face was stiff with a smile, and his hands were about to cramp, and the distressed Qin Mingyue, Princess Anna, Chen Yuanyuan and others surrounded him and pressed, kneaded, kissed, and hugged him in his arms to send warmth, and it took a long time to ease up.

The cold has eased, but Zhu Cijiong feels even more uncomfortable, you must know that the people around him are all super beauties, and they also took the initiative to send him tofu to eat.

However, this is only the beginning, and the next few days will be called suffering, because the show girls from all over the country have been selected, and the queen mother of the two palaces has already screened him, so he will wait for him to personally see it and award the grade.

Only then did Zhu Cijiong know that the Ming Dynasty inherited the code system of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the number and grade of the queen concubines in the harem were regulated, and there were many scary, in total:

a queen, known as Chitose, with the same rank as a prince;

an imperial concubine, the same county king;

two concubines, one product;

four concubines, two grades;

Eight concubines, three products;

Zhaoyi twenty-six, four products;

Twenty-six Jieyu, five products;

There are twenty-six nobles, and there are six products;

There are twenty-six beauties, seven products;

A total of one hundred and twenty, these are all his official wives, which means that he has to marry one hundred and twenty wives at a time! In addition, you can also seal an indefinite number of talents, and you can also choose other palace maids at will, which is the so-called selection of waiters, and the number is not limited.

Like Zhu Cijiong's biological mother, she was only Concubine Rong at the beginning, and she was only promoted to the imperial concubine after giving birth to him, like Zhu Youzhen and Zhu Youxiao were brought up by Li Xuanzhi in the East and West Palaces, Zhu Youzhen's biological mother was only a waiter in the East Palace at the beginning, and she was named a talented person later.

So many wives Zhu Youzhen have a numb scalp just thinking about it, and what makes his scalp even more numb is that the queen mother of the east and west palaces each selected a thousand local show girls from the Ming Dynasty and five hundred show girls from Dongying, Korea, Ryukyu and other subject countries for him, completely in accordance with the ancestral system, enough to make up the number of 3,000 beauties!

Three thousand, don't you want to be so formal! In fact, before him, it was rare for the Ming Emperor to choose so many show girls, but who called him the lord of Zhongxing, the lord of Zhongxing could not be completely according to the ancestral system, so there were still a few emperors who did it, besides, he had two queen mothers, could he not have enough people in his harem.

The queen mother of these two palaces was about to go crazy thinking about her grandson, so as soon as Zhu Cijiong came back, she didn't have anything to deal with, so she was ordered to choose a wife; The issue of the emperor's heirs has been one of the most important issues in all dynasties, so no one in the civil and military officials objected, and unanimously agreed, the emperor went to draft the girl first!

Zhu Cijiong had to start the arduous work of choosing a wife on the second day after he came back, to select one hundred and twenty wives among the three thousand beauties, this workload is really not ordinary, of course, he only needs to select one hundred and fifteen now, because the queen has already decided, that is, Qin Mingyue, Princess Anna was the imperial concubine, she was wronged, and Chen Yuanyuan, Li Xiangjun, and Dong Xiaowan were also set as concubines as early as last year's New Year, but one hundred and twenty were also selected among the three thousand beauties, One hundred and fifteen are also selected among the three thousand beauties, and there seems to be no difference, the workload is the same!
