After these commanders entered the city, the officers of the military department led a large number of men and horses from the Beijing camp out of the city, occupied the main transportation routes of each camp, and read the list to let the officials above the small flag of each battalion assemble outside the camp.

The officers of each battalion were a little excited, and obediently went out to assemble. The soldiers, on the other hand, were all ordered to stay in the barracks, and could only salute with envious eyes through the door.

Whether it was the officers of the Qinwang Army or the soldiers of the Beijing camp, they were all neatly dressed, and the atmosphere was harmonious and grand.

If the battalions of the Qinwang Army count the small banner positions, the number is not a few. Soon, in the passage isolated by the soldiers of the Beijing camp, many phalanxes had already stood out according to their official positions.

The only thing that was a little surprising was that there was no one outside Lu Xiangsheng's camp. Because the people in the camp were people, not the army.

In front and behind each army's official formation, there was a row of Jinyi guard captains watching, or rather leading these troops into the city.

At the same time, inside and outside the Forbidden City, it was also very ceremonious, and there were many guards in the imperial city, wearing ceremonial clothes, and they were vigilant everywhere.

Outside the noon gate, hundreds of civil and military officials had been waiting for a long time. Except for Lu Xiangsheng, who entered the civil official queue, everyone else went to the military general queue according to their official ranks.

After all this was ready, the bell on the bell and drum tower rang, and all the civil and military officials were ready and began to enter the imperial city.

This time it was different from the past, and it was arranged in the Imperial Palace. This Imperial Palace, commonly known as the Jinluan Palace, is mostly used to hold various ceremonies, and the actual number of times it is used is very small. The fact that this time is arranged here shows that this court meeting is very important.

After the emperor arrives and the mountain calls long live these processes, it is time for formal deliberations.

Hu Guang glanced at the civil and military officials below, calmed his face, and said loudly: "The New Year is a big event for my Ming Dynasty. Worship the heavens, worship the ancestors, and beg for a smooth and peaceful year in the coming year......"

Hearing the emperor talk about such an opening remark, all the civil and military officials were a little surprised, and they were at a loss for a while, so they had to listen quietly.

But at this moment, I heard the emperor suddenly raise his voice, and said with a slight seriousness and annoyance in his tone: "Do I have the face to spend this year?" Do you want to tell the heavens, tell the emperor of the Liedai, that the land of Jinggi in the Ming Dynasty has been invaded by barbarians, and everyone has beaten to the city of Jingshi? Do I want to say that my army can't help those barbarians, let them plunder the land of Gyeonggi, set fire to and kill people, and turn back with millions of old and weak? ”

Hearing this, the civil and military officials couldn't stand still, and under the leadership of Shousuke, they knelt down one after another. Those who are ministers will be worried about the ministers, and the kings will humiliate the ministers to death. Although every few people may agree, the scene still has to mean something.

Hu Guang glanced at these courtiers below, at this time, he was already used to letting others kneel. After a long while, he waved his hand and said, "Wait and listen, this time the Jianyu invaded the land of Gyeonggi, how much loss my Ming Dynasty had!" ”

After these words were finished, Wang Dehua, the eunuch who was standing next to the emperor, took a few steps forward, unfolded a piece of the seal in his hand, and read it aloud: "This time, the prisoners entered the customs and burned Zunhua and Yongping...... People were killed and wounded...... Plundered property...... Soldiers ...... killed in battle"

This piece is very detailed, from the destruction of the Great Wall pass, to the loss of personnel, etc., basically speaking.

Of course, these are all meant by themselves, and they may be more detailed than they think. The civil and military officials were thinking so, but they heard the last paragraph: "...... The direct loss suffered by the Ming Dynasty this time is estimated to be as much as 20,000 taels of silver. As for the indirect losses, that is, all the losses caused by this, such as the reconstruction of Yongping Zhucheng, etc., more than 200,000 taels! ”

All along, all the disaster recitals have been described by an adjective, such as heavy losses, very large losses, miserable and so on. But this time, it was measured in silver taels, and when I heard this, I was immediately shocked. The first thought of the civil and military officials was, how much did the loss this time have?

Hu Guang had long expected that they might think so, so after Wang Dehua returned to his original position after reading it, he said coldly: "I have a detailed list here, if anyone doesn't believe it, you can look back." ”

This is actually really hard to say, after all, a whole city like Yongping was burned, and there is really no accurate number of how many antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold, silver and jewelry were burned and looted.

However, this also gives an idea, a rough estimate, measured by silver taels, it is very intuitive, and it can also hit the depths of everyone's hearts, causing the greatest shock.

Hu Guang said, suddenly raised his voice, and shouted: "Did you hear it? Also, there are millions of people in Gyeonggi who are starving and cold, and they may die at any time! Do any of you still have peace of mind for the New Year, let me stand up and take a look? ”

At this time, no matter how stupid a person is, it is impossible for him to stand up and let the emperor see it.

Hu Guang naturally knew this, so he didn't pause, but directly continued to shout: "I put the ugly words in front, if anyone is extravagant and wasteful in the next period of time, I will definitely make him regret it for the rest of his life!" ”

"Don't dare!" The sound is uneven and not loud.

After showing domineering and losing his temper for a while, Hu Guang finally calmed down and said, "Let's be even!" ”

Hearing this, the civil and military officials finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the emperor's anger has been vented, and the next step should be to reward meritorious deeds, right?

They were not mistaken, and after they had calmed down, the emperor continued: "However, in this battle of Gyeonggi, I also saw many loyal ministers and good generals, who made great contributions to the repulsion of Jianyu, and I am very pleased! ”

Hearing this, many people's eyes turned to specific people. There was envy in his eyes. And Ma Shilong began to think about his manuscript in his heart, if His Majesty didn't forget it, forget it, otherwise, he must talk about his own merits.

"Merit deserves a reward, and I will not be stingy." After Hu Guang finished speaking, after waving his hand, Wang Dehua came out again, holding a holy decree in his hand, looking at the bottom and shouting: "Man Gui is out of the queue to receive the decree!" ”

In the envious eyes of everyone, Man Gui came out of the queue and knelt down to accept the order.

“…… The general army of Datong was full of Guiqin Wang Yan, and he was ordered to defend the Beijing division to the death, killing and retreating Jianjiao to attack the city twice, and stealing the city once, causing the Jurchen Tartars to be killed and wounded...... He has the merit of protecting the Beijing Division, his loyalty and courage are commendable, and he is very relieved, and he is specially awarded the title of Loyal and Yongbo, and transferred to the post of Governor of Jingying Rongzheng. Chin this! “

Man Gui himself knew in advance that the Admiral Jingying would definitely not be able to run, but he didn't expect to be knighted, and he was also a loyal and brave uncle, this unexpected joy made him excited for a while, his face was flushed, and he replied loudly with his head knocked on the ground: "Long live, long live, long live!" ”

When those generals saw it, they were all red-eyed and knighted! This Mangui is really shit luck!
