The soldiers' revelry gradually ceased, and when the wildness and passion were exhausted, all they felt was fatigue and hunger. It was already the time of Shen Zheng, and except for the seriously wounded, the living people relined up and put on a well-organized military appearance.

Zhu Qiming stepped on the war horse and rode the horse to inspect for a while, the burning embers of passion in his chest were still unsettled, and he was worried about the heavy casualties in his heart, after all, he couldn't bear to indulge himself too much and release the joy of victory to the fullest. Scanning this place where the bloody battle had just taken place, the scene of corpses strewn all over the field only deeply rooted the word tragic in his mind.

Tang Ji rode his horse over, "Your Highness, a total of one thousand and one hundred and sixteen levels have been beheaded, and none of the Tartar thieves have survived death." We lost 525 casualties, 116 seriously wounded, and countless lightly wounded. ”

Zhu Qiming looked at Tang Ji for a moment, and felt that this young Qianhu and him, the prince, were like a heart, and there was no need for the main general to give a temporary order, Tang Ji could respond flexibly according to the battlefield situation, and over time, Tang Ji would definitely become a good general of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that the battle situation reported by Tang Ji makes people feel heavy, and suddenly, the aura of victory seems to have faded. "The weather has warmed, bury the soldiers on the spot, the coffin is still needed, the tombstone is indispensable, and their names are engraved. After the king returns to Beijing to ask for a decree, the annual tomb sweeping will be decided. ”

"Yes!"

"This king has brought five good doctors from Yuefu, and you will call the soldiers who are skilled in medicine to treat the seriously injured with all their might."

"Yes!"

Tang Ji took the order and left. Over there, Zhao Gang rushed over, got off the horse beside Jiang Yi, half-knelt and held one of Jiang Yi's hands, and spoke softly for a long time, then he said goodbye to Jiang Yi and came to Zhu Qiming's side on foot to wait.

"His Royal Highness the King of Yue, come down to listen to the order."

Zhu Qiming's gaze fell on Jiang Yi first. Jiang Yi was lying on a wooden plank, and after being treated by the good doctor, there was no danger of his life, but he heard from the good doctor that Jiang Yi was very likely to be disabled and end his career early.

Alas, alas!

Then move his gaze to Zhao Gang. Zhao Gang's deeds in this battle are remarkable, leading 300 people to take charge alone, quite a bit handsome, if he can be freed from the alienated political ecology in Beijing in the future, it will not be difficult to become a good general who gallops the field.

"Eh, Zhao Gang, are these Tartar thieves really Ye Xian's subordinates?"

"Can't be wrong, Your Highness, they have already been checked, they must be the most elite cavalry first!"

Zhu Qiming wanted to say something, but saw Shang Huaiying coming quickly. "Your Highness, the people nearby are eating pot pulp, come to the labor army, we don't have to worry about hunger!"

After a bloody battle, giving your men a full meal is just a minimum of satisfaction, and it's not worth being too happy. What's more, with so many wounded, I am afraid that they will have to go back to the camp to rest for half a month before they can leave for Beijing, which is more of a headache than stomach problems.

Thinking about returning to the incomparably prosperous capital of the capital from the wilderness, bidding farewell to the heroic spirit of fighting bloodily, and returning to the world of drunken gold, I am afraid that it will make people feel like a world away from home.

······

It was another sunny March day, with warblers flying and grass growing everywhere, and the sky was blue and the water was green.

Only a few miles away from the Anding Gate of the capital, Zhu Qiming turned his head to look at Shang Huaiying, Tang Ji, and Zhao Gang beside him, the faces of the three of them were full of triumphant relief, and the smile seemed to come out of his bones, which was extremely vivid and expressive. Looking back at the six hundred guards and guards behind him, all of them were in good spirits and had a neat appearance. These people will be the representatives of the warriors, to be reviewed and cheered by the people of the capital.

And himself, stepping on a snow-white horse, wearing a silver armor, and the gorgeous red tassels on the top of his head, lined with a manicure posture, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are full of extraordinary charm, coupled with the dazzling halo of courage and wisdom and bravery, he will inevitably become the focus of attention in the city.

Perhaps, he, a young prince who is gradually becoming an adult, will also bring boundless spring dreams to countless deep boudoir women, but at that time their state of mind may be extremely unpleasant, "I was born before you were born, and I am old when you were born", this sadness is also quite tormenting, and can only pray to enter a dream world without age and identity restrictions, and "turn into butterflies to find flowers, and perch on fragrant grass at night".

"Come, His Royal Highness King Yue is down!"

I saw that there was a crowd of people outside the Anding Gate, and the black crowd could not see the end at a glance, and everyone only left a passage one zhang wide in front of the city tower.

Zhu Qiming had to order a new lineup, three people in a row, to reduce the width of the cavalry as much as possible. As a result, Zhao Gang fell in the second row, and he was a little unhappy, and he wanted to find the right time to return to the first row.

Zhu Qiming's position is half a horse body more prominent than Shang Huaiying and Tang Ji, which is particularly eye-catching, and as soon as the cavalry enters the crowd, they hear cheers everywhere, and the shouts of "His Royal Highness King Yue" come and go.

The soldiers on the tower of the city were also waving their flags and shouting for joy.

The horse's speed was extremely slow, and when they came to Anding Gate, Zhu Qiming ordered his subordinates to put down all the weapons on their bodies and hand them over to the soldiers defending the city for safekeeping. Today, the Son of Heaven will greet him outside the noon gate, and the guards and guards are not allowed to carry weapons to the noon gate.

When I entered Andingmen, I saw that the street was already crowded with people, and the reserved passage was too narrow, which further slowed down the advance of the cavalry.

But hearing the deafening cheers, the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities who were in charge of maintaining order seemed to have forgotten their mission, and only stared straight at the mighty cavalry, allowing a group of children to break into the aisle. The children seemed to be jogging in front to lead the way, looking back at Zhu Qiming with a smile from time to time.

That is, when he met Zhu Qiming, the prince who dared to eliminate violence and peace and goodness at home and dare to beat the Tartar thieves outside, the talents in the capital had less scruples and more intimacy.

Aunts and aunts can go to the street to watch like men, and the deep boudoir women are not idle, the ladies in the attic are beautiful, and the small jasper in front of the window of the bungalow is a small family.

With a "pop", a sachet fell from the sky and magically hung on Zhu Qiming's neck, causing the onlookers to laugh, although the laughter was presumptuous, it seemed to have no malicious intent.

A young man who looked like a scholar stretched his neck and said, "His Royal Highness King Yue, marry her home, she is the top dancer of Qixian Tower, called Pei Sanniang." ”

Zhu Qiming turned his head to search, and finally found the location of Qixian Tower, there was a young woman upstairs looking at him through the window, her eyes were wandering, and there was a bit of ecstasy in her eyes.

Hey, nice! is a stunning beauty, and when King Yu sees her, I'm afraid he won't think about it.

There was an old man in a Confucian shirt beside the young scholar, who glanced at the young scholar, shook his head and said, "Nonsense! His Royal Highness King Yue has not yet married, how can he take a concubine first? ”

The young scholar immediately became more serious: "Why can't you take a concubine first?" This woman has a very high vision, how many children of the family can't ask for it? Beauty is hard to find, don't miss it! ”

"Hmph, unreasonable! This woman is older than His Royal Highness King Yue, and when His Royal Highness King Yue becomes an adult, this woman will become a grandmother. ”

Suddenly, the old man was poured a bowl of water on his head, and the people around him avoided him, and then the deafening laughter covered the hustle and bustle of the street.

What does it mean to wear a sachet around your neck? Zhu Qiming took off the sachet and stretched out his hand to hand it to Shang Huaiying, Shang Huaiying grinned, then stared blankly and was stunned, and after a long time, he transferred the sachet to Zhao Gang.

Today must be a day when the alleys are empty, and the onlookers do not hesitate to cheer their cheers, and the Beijing troops who are lined up to greet them all cast respectful glances at the triumphant warriors.

It wasn't until the cavalry entered Zuo Chang'an Street that the people who followed all the way were blocked by the Jinyi guard, and watched the cavalry disappear into the city tower from a distance.

Zhu Qiming waved his hand to signal the cavalry to stop, he dismounted, and took Shang Huaiying, Tang Ji, and Zhao Gang on foot to the front of the saint.

According to the usual practice, the Son of Heaven only needs to greet the army on the tower of the Wumen City, and there is no need to downgrade, but this time the Son of Heaven not only demoted, but also brought the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, all red tape and festivals are exempt, and the grandeur of the courtesy should be seen only since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

"King Yue is exempt!"

The proud young man took a few steps forward, and after stopping, he actually put on a posture of stretching out his hand and crossing his waist.

Zhu Qiming changed his hand to salute, "Your Majesty, the minister led more than 1,200 people from the personal guards and the Yuefu Guards, and fought with the elite cavalry of Yexian in the east of the Longmen River, beheading 1,116 ranks, and the entire army of Tartar thieves was wiped out. In addition, more than 900 war horses were captured, and Chen Te came to restore his life. ”

"Okay, give me wine!"

An attendant came to Zhu Qiming's side with a jue of wine, and Zhu Qiming took the knighthood with both hands, "Your Majesty, the ministers dare not accept the grace of heaven in vain, please use this wine to sacrifice the souls of the warriors in the sky." ”

The emperor waved his hand, and Zhu Qiming slowly sprinkled a jue of wine on the ground.

The emperor looked at Zhu Qiming with a smile, and there was a bit of affinity in the style of the king's reign in the world, "Give wine again!" ”

"Everything depends on Your Majesty's sage, soldiers use their lives, and ministers dare not enjoy the honor alone."

"Good! I will accompany you to drink all this wine, come and give wine to Shang Huaiying, Tang Ji, and Zhao Gang, and as for Jiang Yi, I will give him twenty jars of imperial wine. ”

The first time he drank the liquor, Zhu Qiming only felt that a jue of wine was in his throat, and he suddenly felt extremely spicy, so he opened his mouth and exhaled.

At this time, the congratulatory voices of the important ministers of the DPRK were endless, among which Hu Hu said a few more words, which seemed very abrupt. "At the beginning, the minister decided that King Yue would live up to His Majesty's order and make miraculous achievements. Your Majesty! ”

Is that so? Zhu Qiming glanced at Hu Hu lightly, thinking that the past was in smoke, and he didn't want to care about anything anymore.

The elderly British duke said something that was incompatible with his identity and extremely undesirable: "Your Majesty, now that the Ming Dynasty is at odds with you, I don't know how you feel first?" ”

The monarchs and ministers were all stunned for a moment, and then saw Yang Pu stand up, "What else can you think?" First of all, they should understand that when dealing with my Daming, they must know how to be humble! Your Majesty, now that the battle of Luchuan is in full swing, Daming does not need to worry about the danger of Warat, they will definitely humble themselves and come to befriend my Daming. ”

The emperor smiled heartily, "What Yang Qing said is very true! ”
