Before the army of the class division returned to Erlong Valley, Jiang Chuan saw from afar that the flat ground in front of the valley mouth was crowded with a crowd of people. The update was the fastest, and almost all the people who could be dispatched in the valley ran out to watch the grand occasion of the army.

A team of elite horsemen galloped towards the army, and it was the left-behind general Bai Shan who came to greet Jiang Chuan and his party.

"Baishan greets the victorious class teacher!" Bai Shan rode his horse to Jiang Chuan, turned over, dismounted, knelt on one knee and said.

"No courtesy." Jiang Chuan was in a happy mood at the moment, seeing everyone with a smiling face, it could really be said that the spring breeze was proud, although the cold wind of early winter blew on his face, but it still did not freeze the smile on his face.

"My lord, the last will lead you in front." Bai Shan shouted loudly, then turned on his horse, and led a hundred elite horsemen behind him to the front of the army as a leader, and slowly walked towards the crowd of Taniguchi.

When he approached the crowd at the mouth of the valley, Bai Shan shouted loudly: "Marquis Wu'an, the general army of southern Liaoning has won the victory, and the people avoid it." ”

The hundred cavalry behind him also shouted in unison: "Marquis Wu'an, the general army of southern Liaoning has won the division, and the people avoid it!" ”

The shouts of a hundred people together slowly quieted the already bustling crowd, and they retreated in both directions, making way for the passage of the road. One by one, the people looked at the slowly approaching army with awe and curiosity.

The last time the people saw such an oversized Jiang army was after the defeat of the Qing army.

This time it was after the defeat of the Ming army, so many people sighed in their hearts, and a strong sense of pride arose in their hearts.

In layman's terms, because this is our people's own army.

For the Ming army, especially the Ming border army, which has been defeated repeatedly, these ordinary people have little feelings. After all, the Ming army at this time didn't talk about the situation between the army and the people, and often harassed the people from time to time when they came out to patrol and fight.

Naturally, this kind of army does not have the support of the people.

There were many people who had never seen such a grand military appearance, and they all held their breath, nervously and curiously looking at the black-clothed and black-armored soldiers who walked in front of them, the solemn and cold, and the mighty soldiers, as well as the tall and majestic war horses with fluttering manes under their crotches, and constantly let out sighs of admiration from their mouths.

Invisibly, the fluctuations in people's hearts caused by the torture and killing of 700 people last time have gradually been suppressed.

Under the guidance of Hakuyama, the army concentrated in the open space in front of the valley mouth, and arranged in black phalanxes according to the proportion of half of the men and horses drawn by each battalion.

The rest of the men and horses escorted all kinds of captured weapons, materials, grain and grass, as well as Ming prisoners, directly into the valley.

Soon, nine black phalanxes were listed in the clearing, like nine swarthy pine forests, motionless as mountains, exuding a strong aura of majesty and slaughter.

In the middle of the clearing, a wooden platform about one foot high has been erected, and three huge flags on the high platform are hunting and crackling in the cold wind of early winter.

Of these three big flags, the first is the Jiangjia Army flag with gold characters on a red background, and the flag is embroidered with a golden tiger roaring on the mountain, of course, it is a simple tiger.

The second side is also a red background of gold characters, embroidered with "Wu'an Houjiang" four golden characters.

The third flag is still gold on a red background, embroidered with five golden characters of "Liaoning Southern General Bingjiang".

The last two flags were made overnight by Bai Shan, who stayed in Erlong Valley, after receiving the news.

Today's posture is not to hold any prisoner sacrifice conference, after all, these Ming army prisoners are different from Tartar prisoners, these people will be absorbed and assimilated by Jiang Chuan in the future, and Jiang Chuan, an elite and excellent soldier general, is planning to supplement the army.

Today's ceremony is also Liu Kiti's suggestion.

Although the previous Jiang Jiajun had repeatedly defeated the Tartars, after all, he was born in a wild way. To explain it in the terms of Jiang Chuan's previous life, it is to belong to the guerrillas, not the regular army.

A guerrilla force, no matter how powerful your combat effectiveness is, let others listen to it, you can't help but make a nasal sound, after all, it doesn't sound atmospheric, and it is not high-grade.

Although the Ming Dynasty is now crumbling and stormy, but after all, the people's shelves are still there, and the rule of more than 200 years is still synonymous with orthodoxy in the hearts of the people.

This is also why the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been established for decades, and the people of the Ming Dynasty still call them Tartars, and few people call them Qing Army or Qing State, which is the orthodox psychology of the Central Plains Dynasty at work.

If Jiang Chuan wants to recruit more talents and gather more people in the future, he must have a decent reputation.

This title can't be earned by himself at present, so he can only ask for it from the Ming Emperor. With this title, whatever you do in the future is justified.

For example, in the original history, no matter how powerful Li Zicheng was, he established the Great Shun Kingdom and became the emperor, in the hearts of many people, he was still a dirt bun and a rogue leader, and this label may not be able to be taken off for the rest of his life.

No matter how weak the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty is, no matter how cowardly it is, it is also the orthodox power of the Central Plains Dynasty in the hearts of ordinary people, which is the importance of legal unity and reputation.

Jiang Chuan has been tossing in Liaodong for so long, firstly, he is indeed really fighting Tartars, and secondly, he is for such an orthodox name.

Just like in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, if a vassal state wants to establish itself as a country or its monarch wants to be king, it must be canonized by Zhou Tianzi. Even if the Zhou royal family at that time had become a symbolic ornament, it needed to go through this formality.

Without the canonization of the Zhou royal family, your vassal state is strong, and in the eyes of others, it is also a monkey.

Of course, the means of this are very different. Some vassal states are really weak and want to learn from others to be kings, but the Zhou royal family did not agree, so he threatened and blackmailed him in various ways to force Zhou Tianzi to canonize him. For example, the Song State that produced a Song Xianggong who became a joke for more than 2,000 years in later generations, and the later monarch called the king like this. There is also a Zhongshan country with a radius of only a few hundred miles of mountains to claim the king, which became a joke at the time, and was finally destroyed by the great powers.

And some vassal states are because of the strong national strength, which attracts the attention of the world, and Zhou Tianzi took the initiative to send people to persuade their monarchs to become kings, such as Qin. After Qin Xiaogong and Shang Ying changed the law in 20 years, Qin's national strength quickly became stronger, which made the six countries of Shandong jealous.

After the death of Qin Xiaogong, his son Yingsi ascended the throne and became the monarch. Two years later, Zhou Tianzi and the Six Kingdoms of Shandong personally sent envoys to Qin to persuade Yingji to become king, and he was the king of Qin Huiwen.

Your strength has arrived, if you don't call the king, others will be embarrassed to call the king, and I'm afraid of becoming your target.

Jiang Chuan is the same, he wants to desperately fight a piece of heaven and earth, a piece of majesty, and let the Ming Emperor take the initiative to confer knighthood on himself and give himself a proper name.

Now, he did.

Therefore, today's ceremony is actually a ceremony of justifying the name, announcing to the world that I Jiangchuan, Jiang Jiajun will officially enter the stage of the world with a new identity.
