"Huh? What did the Praetorian Guard say? Long live the Lord actually went out of the city to greet us in person? ”

"How is this possible? It's just that it's just a little Annan, long live to greet him in person? ”

Hearing Zhang Huan's report, Xu Huizu and other senior military officials all had extremely shocked looks on their faces. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

From ancient times to the present, the return of the army to the city, and the fact that the Holy Lord personally went out of the city to greet him today is rarely happening!

"Generalissimo Xu, can you take the order?" Just when everyone was still immersed in shock, Zhang Huan opened his mouth to ask.

Only then did everyone react, Xu Huizu hurriedly bowed down and took the order flag, and arched his hand: "This handsome man takes the order!" ”

"Generalissimo Xu, since the order flag has been delivered, the little one will go back to his life!" Zhang Huan respectfully handed over the small order flag in his hand to Xu Huizu, and then bowed his hand to everyone, leaving such a sentence to go back.

"Zhang Huan, wait a minute, do you know where Banzai is now?" Xu Huizu stopped Zhang Huan and asked.

Zhang Huan had just turned over and got on the horse, and when he heard Xu Huizu's question, he hurriedly turned his head and replied: "About three miles away from the outside of Nanjing, Long Live Lord ordered someone to build a small pavilion, and Long Live Lord and a group of civil and military ministers in the court are waiting for the triumphant return of the adults in the small pavilion!" ”

……

In the small pavilion three miles away, Zhu Di, who had long looked through the autumn water, straightened his neck and looked into the distance.

In the eyes of everyone's anticipation, with the rising sun on the distant horizon, an army bathed in the morning light, carrying billowing smoke and dust, appeared in everyone's sight.

With the 'dong dong dong', a full 100,000 troops landed in unison, and the earth began to shake violently, and the 100,000 troops marched in unison, and the momentum generated was shocking for nine days, and the march alone was enough to shock people's hearts.

"Hahaha! Gentlemen, have you seen it, this is my Ming army! ”

Seeing this 100,000 male soldiers from a distance, they were striding in high spirits, Ming Emperor Zhu Di, couldn't help but be excited and ruddy, he laughed, pointed to the 100,000 troops in the distance, and continued: "I have such a strong soldier in the Ming Dynasty, why am I afraid of the barbarian bandits? And why fear the Eastern Roman Empire? ”

Zhu Di spoke in a high tone, and at the same time, the expression on his face rarely lost his previous calmness as usual.

In the small pavilion, a group of civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, when they heard Zhu Di's heroic words, they all became blushing and thickened: "Yes, with this male soldier, no one in the world dares to fight against my Daming!" ”

"Okay, you provinces, General Xu, they're back." Zhu Song saw that this welcoming event was about to turn into a radish meeting, and hurriedly stopped everyone, and at the same time stretched out his hand to the spacious official road.

"The last generals (sons) Xu Huizu, Jin Zhong, Zhu Gaochi, meet our emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

However, at a distance of only three miles, the army of bandits had only marched for a quarter of an hour before they came to the small pavilion, and the high-ranking people in the army dismounted directly and saluted Zhu Di.

Zhu Di strode forward, and with a big hand, he directly hugged the five or six middle and high-ranking military leaders in front of him.

"Hahaha......" Zhu Di's big hands slapped Xu Huizu's shoulders heavily, and said with a cheerful smile: "You are finally back, you have worked hard during this time, but it's good to come back!" ”

"Hooray, thank you for coming to greet us in person!" To tell the truth, Xu Huizu's heart was still very moved by Zhu Di leading a group of civil and military officials in the court to build a long pavilion to come to the pavilion to greet them.

Hearing Xu Huizu's words, Zhu Di shook his head slightly, and said earnestly: "Huizu, you are all the pride of my Ming Dynasty. If it weren't for you, who would guard our Ming Dynasty? Who will protect the thousands of people of my Ming Dynasty! Besides, I'm only three miles away, even if it's ten miles, I'll greet you! ”

When Zhu Di said these words, he did not shy away from the civil and military officials around him, partly out of sincerity, but more to buy people's hearts. may be too contrived, but for these soldiers who shed their blood and lives for the Ming Dynasty, there is nothing more heart-warming than this.

Yes, Xu Huizu stroked his chest with his right hand, and said excitedly: "The last general is willing to protect me for eternity!" ”

Xu Huizu's voice was very high, and he quickly got a response from a group of high-ranking people in the army.

The closest to Xu Huizu was Zhu Song, Zhu Song's eyes rolled, and he suddenly roared:

"I am willing to swear to protect my Ming Dynasty, I am willing to swear to protect my Ming people, I am willing to swear to protect my Ming people! Ming is invincible! ”

Zhu Song's big voice, which was louder than the voice of the old cow, this voice contained the inner strength of the shout, but suddenly stabbed the hornet's nest, and the 100,000 Ming soldiers who had just returned roared in unison:

"We are willing to die to protect the Ming Dynasty, long live the guard, protect my Ming people, the Ming is invincible, long live the Ming Dynasty!"

100,000 soldiers, with red faces and thick necks, roared in unison, causing the whole world to change color.

……

Far away two miles away, the carriage had just been arranged, and they wanted to come out to see when the Ming Dynasty was going out of the city like this, and the roar of rage, like thunder, just rang in their ears.

Jones, Weston and the others glanced at each other, and from this voice, they felt an endless killing aura, like a little sheep entering a hungry wolf's den, and the hungry wolves didn't know how many days they had been hungry, and their killing intent was soaring!

"W-what's this sound?" Weston's eyes straightened, "It seems like it's about two miles ahead." ”

Scott said: "Your Excellency, I heard that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and a group of civil and military ministers built a small pavilion three miles away from Nanjing City two days ago. ”

"Are you sure?" Jones opened his mouth wide and said, "If that's the case, then early in the morning, did these Daming guys go to meet some army?" By the way, more than two months ago, the Ming Dynasty seemed to have sent a large number of soldiers to Guangxi, and then the army advanced into Annam, didn't they come back? ”

"Your Excellency, this is the city of Nanjing, under the roots of the imperial city." Weston touched his chin and said, "In the entire city of Nanjing, there are only thirty or forty thousand soldiers, but how can thirty or forty thousand people make such a loud noise?" ”

"So where are we going?" Jones was stunned and said, "Let's go, let's go back!" ”

"Your Excellency, aren't you going?" Weston glanced at Scott and said hesitantly, "It's not ......"

"Where are you going?" Jones glared at Weston fiercely and said, "Don't you feel angry enough?" ”

When the words landed, Jones directly threw off his hand and got on the horse, clamped the horse's belly, and returned to Nanjing City in a smoke.

……

In the small pavilion, all the people who came to welcome the army back to Chang'an, regardless of whether they were civil officials or military generals, only felt that the blood in their bodies seemed to be boiling wildly after hearing this earth-shaking shout.

Among them, the most undulating expressions are the generals supplemented by Zhu Neng, Zhu Gaosui, Ji Gang and others.

These guys are all martial arts, one by one without moving and moving all the body is uncomfortable, now listening to these 100,000 soldiers and generals shouting so passionately, their beast blood is boiling at the same time, but also want to find someone to do it. PREVIOUS!

Hey, this fire can't go down, and it makes these guys blush with excitement and have thick necks!

"Hahaha, today, let's point in this pavilion and reward you!" With the heroic words of the soldiers ringing in his ears, Zhu Di took Xu Huizu's big hand and strode towards the small pavilion not far away.

Long before the return of the bandit army, Xu Huizu and his high-ranking members of the army had already listed and reported all the exploits of the suppression of bandits in Guangxi and the conquest of Annam.

After the collegiate discussion of the top level of the Ming Dynasty and the six departments, Xie Jin, Yang Rong and others drew up a detailed reward excerpt, and the candidates on the reward excerpt were carefully considered.

And if you divide them purely according to the size of their merits, the merits of these people can be subdivided into four types.

Among them, there are a total of thirteen people who have won first-class merits, except for Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Yuexian and other royal families, all of them are candidates for earldom, and the top one is Xu Huizu, who is the generalissimo of this raid, Xu Huizu's current official position is Yipin, and he is also the successor of the title of the founding duke.

With his merits and qualifications, there is no way to seal it at all, but his credit this time is so great, if Zhu Di does not reward him, I am afraid that the soldiers who went to Guangxi and Annan this time will also complain.

Therefore, after thinking about it again, Zhu Di rewarded Xu Huizu with the young master of the crown prince, crowned the Shangzhu Kingdom, and rewarded 10,000 taels of gold, 600 silk silks, and 10 pearls...... Anyway, there are a lot of gold and silver treasures.

In addition to Xu Huizu, there are also left and right vanguard generals Zhu Song and Jin Zhong.

As the vanguard, the two led the army to kill the enemy in Guangxi and Annan, which was a great achievement, but for the reward of the two of them, not only Zhu Di frowned, but even Xie Jin didn't know how to consider it.

Zhu Neng said that the grade went further, and on the basis of the book of the Ministry of War, he added the imperial history of the right capital, and rewarded him with a lot of gold and silver treasures, anyway, they were all things collected from Annan, and it was not difficult to take them out.

As for Zhu Song, there is no way to reward it, this goods are even more changed than Xu Huizu. state, he has reached the top of the list, and even the title is already the highest level of prince, what else can he be sealed? Seeing the official level, what are you kidding?

There was no way, Xie Jin and the others directly reported the matter to Zhu Di, and after Zhu Di frowned for a while, he could only write some gold and silver treasures casually, and there was nothing else.

There are only three people for the first-class merit, but there are twenty or thirty people for the second-class merit, and they are all candidates for the viscount, and they are supplemented by the deputy commander of the guards of the first house, as well as some gold and silver.

When it came to the third level of merit, it was extended to more than 200 people, and they were all the most powerful people in the army of bandits, both generals and soldiers, and they rushed to the forefront without hesitation, just for victory!

When it comes to the fourth class of merit, there are quite a lot of these people, there are more than a thousand people, their titles are just baronies, and some of them can't even rely on their titles, if they want to be considered officials, they are only petty officials of six or seven grades, plus some gold and silver, it is better than nothing.

……

Zheng He held a thick stack of reward lists presented by the Ministry of Rites in his hand, and followed behind Zhu Di with a respectful expression.

"Gentlemen, you will shed your blood for my Daming, and its merits can be expressed, and its merits can be sealed!"

With a faint smile on his face, the sound spread out with an artificial horn echoed in his ears, nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "Today, I am here, all the princes will discuss and reward the kings!" Zheng He! ”

Zheng He bowed respectfully and said, "Long live the lord!" ”

"Let's get started!" Zhu Di bowed slightly to Zheng He, signaling that he could start to announce the reward excerpt.

"Feng, the heavens carry it, the emperor said: There is a rewarding general Xu Huizu today, who was originally the governor of my Ming Left Army...... led 100,000 Ming soldiers to suppress bandits in Guangxi, and then went deep into Annan, killed the enemy in the hinterland of Fanbang...... gave Xu Huizu the crown prince and young master, added the seal of Shangzhuguo, and gave another gold ...... 10,000 taels"

Xu Huizu stood respectfully beside Zhu Di, and after his reward was read out, he respectfully saluted Zhu Di and said, "The last general Xu Huizu, thank Your Majesty for the reward!" ”

When Xu Huizu retreated to the side, Zheng He continued: "Jin Zhong, the general who should be rewarded, was originally a military ......"

……

This time the reward of the meritorious person was carried out for two hours, if it was not for the fact that during the reading of the reward, the person who read it changed several times, I am afraid that Zheng He's duck voice would have to be shouted at this moment.

Looking at the soldier below with a happy and excited smile on his face, Zhu Song suddenly felt that this seemed to be the moment when he became a Ming man in the most real way.

At least for now, he is a Ming man and a member of the Ming royal family!

"Ladies and gentlemen, this return to Nanjing is a great victory, except for the people who are in charge of their duties, I Yun'er and others will take turns to return home for half a month, and after the half-month period expires, you need to return to their respective camps as soon as possible, there must be no mistake!"

No matter what Zhu Song thought in his heart at this moment, Zhu Di was very happy at the moment, he stood at the front of the pavilion, looked at the soldiers, and suddenly joked:

"Of course, don't just go back in vain and bring the gold and silver that I have rewarded you, lest your family say that you have been a soldier for so many years and have not saved even a penny of silver."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Long Live Lord is really in a good mood today, otherwise, how could he joke with everyone?

"Hahaha, Fourth Emperor Brother, even if you make a joke, as long as you are here, no one will dare to laugh, otherwise ......" At this time, Zhu Song suddenly laughed, "Let's go back to the city?" ”

"Either way, no matter what!" Zhu Di waved his hand, "Zheng He, drive back to the palace!" ”
