"Hey, have you heard, Master Su is going back to the capital tomorrow."

"Oh, is it true, then you must go and see, when the time comes, you make an appointment with me, and we will go and see it together."

"Well, you must take a look, but I don't know if the news is true, I also heard about it."

"Let's go and inquire, ask clearly, take a good position tomorrow, and see this Master Su." ……

The news that Su Tiancheng is going to return to the capital spread quickly, the speed is staggering, many people are inquiring about each other, confirming the truth of the news, no matter what, tomorrow in the capital, it must be unprecedented, the people want to see with their own eyes, this great hero who exterminated the Liukou, and everyone also knows that this Su Da is only in his twenties.

Su Tiancheng has arrived at the outskirts of Beijing.

After receiving the emperor's decree, after making a little arrangement, Su Tiancheng took the officers above the command of the Jiangning battalion guard, including Qin Liangyu, the chief military officer of Sichuan, Ma Xianglin, the envoy of Shizhu Xuan, and others.

Before leaving, Su Tiancheng discussed with Hong Chengchou, Qin Sande and others, and also reported to Zhu Cihong, and drew up a statement about the reward of meritorious personnel this time.

Zhu Cihong naturally did not have any different opinions.

The Jiangning battalion achieved an unprecedented victory, Su Tiancheng and others were very happy, but this victory also paid the corresponding price, the Jiangning battalion killed more than 6,100 soldiers, seriously injured more than 900 people, killed more than 40,000 rogues, captured more than 40,000 people, including 500 strong sergeants sent by the Later Jin. None of them were missed, the characteristics of these people are too obvious.

The last killing was still a little cruel, and the instinct to survive made Li Zicheng's personal soldiers start to fight hard, Su Tiancheng ignored their madness and gave the order decisively. They must all be killed, and no one will be left, these people are tinder, and they cannot be left, only in this way can they prevent the rebreeding of rogues from the roots.

In terms of how to treat Li Zicheng's attitude, Su Tiancheng was still cautious, after Liu Tiehan captured Li Zicheng, who basically had no resistance. Su Tiancheng's original intention was to kill him immediately, so as not to have too many dreams at night, but he also thought that Zhu Youzhen would save face, if he could escort Li Zicheng into the capital and hand it over to the emperor for disposal, it would satisfy the emperor's vanity, and the effect would be much better.

The matter of the high merit and the Lord. It is necessary to pay attention at all times, this time it is basically to eliminate the rogues. Speaking of the crown prince Zhu Cihong, the biggest credit is on Zhu Cihong.

After the battle, Su Tiancheng exchanged views with Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin, frankly expressed his thoughts, and suggested that all 15,000 white pole soldiers join the Jiangning battalion, if necessary, to maintain the formation. can form a battalion alone, still commanded by Ma Xianglin, Ma Xianglin, who has experienced brutal battles and tempering of the Jiangning battalion, first expressed his position, saying that he has no opinion, mainly depending on his mother's opinion. Qin Liangyu understood Su Tiancheng's thoughts a long time ago, which meant that she was ready to make her the real commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Guard Army and become the real chief officer, she had long thought that the white pole soldiers should join the Jiangning battalion, and they could not form a separate battalion and be incorporated into the various battalions of the Jiangning battalion, so that as the Jiangning battalion became famous in history, people would definitely remember the white pole soldiers.

After obtaining the consent of Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin, the ranks of the Jiangning battalion grew again, with a total number of more than 80,000 people.

On the issue of recruiting sergeants, Hong Chengchou is more cautious than Su Tiancheng, a rat poop can spoil a pot of soup, thinking that the sergeants who enter the Jiangning battalion must be very good, and the Jiangning battalion must always maintain a high fighting spirit.

This time in Beijing, the specifications are completely different.

On August 18, Su Tiancheng and his entourage arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, and the holy decree came immediately, requiring Su Tiancheng to wait in the suburbs of Beijing for a day, and the capital should be arranged accordingly.

After settling down, everyone bathed and changed clothes, and flower petals and other things were put in the bath water, Su Tiancheng was really uncomfortable. , The eunuch who came to announce the decree, with a respectful and modest demeanor on his face, carefully accompanied, and after receiving a gold ingot from Su Tiancheng's reward, he smiled happily and secretly told Su Tiancheng that Lord Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was going to greet him at the gate of the city, and the emperor took the adults above the fourth grade of the capital to greet him outside the noon gate.

This amazed Su Tiancheng, such a specification is too high, of course, he is always following behind His Royal Highness the Prince, and the biggest aura is still focused on His Royal Highness the Prince.

August 19.

Autumn is crisp and the sun comes out early in the morning.

At the end of the day, Su Tiancheng and his entourage arrived at the east gate of the capital.

Yang Sichang stood outside the city gate, and the sergeants of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division were heavily guarded.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong is naturally at the forefront.

After seeing Yang Sichang, Zhu Cihong dismounted.

Yang Sichang hurriedly knelt down to greet His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhu Cihong stepped forward to help Yang Sichang, all this process, Zhu Cihong, who was less than eleven years old, behaved very sophisticated.

Su Tiancheng and the others have already dismounted, although he and Yang Sichang are both in the rank of the second grade, but he is hanging the title of the secretary of the military department, and there is still a difference between the real secretary of the military department, and the identity of the Beijing official is more noble.

Yang Sichang hugged his fists and saluted everyone, he came up to greet everyone on behalf of the emperor, but he didn't put on a show at all, after returning to the capital, Su Tiancheng will be crowned the crown prince Taibao, and the identity is already above him.

After continuing to get on the horse, the crown prince Zhu Cihong was still in the front, the left and right were guarded by brocade guards, Su Tiancheng and Yang Sichang side by side, followed by Hong Chengchou and Qin Sande, followed by Fang Fengnian and Yao Minggong, and the rest were arranged according to their rank.

After entering the city gate, Su Tiancheng felt surprised, starting from the city gate, there were people standing on both sides to watch the excitement, you must know that there is still a long way from the city gate to the Forbidden City, doesn't this mean that there are many people in the capital who have come out.

Zhu Cihong's dress is different, with bright yellow clothes and Dongzhu on the crown of his head, representing the identity of the prince.

The common people of the capital know such rules, and they have heard a lot about the book, what clothes the emperor wears, what clothes His Royal Highness the Prince wears, what clothes the officials wear from the first to the ninth grade, what clothes the officials wear, what clothes the officials wear, all of them are clear, although His Royal Highness the Prince is guarded by the brocade guards in the middle, but everyone still sees it.

The people on both sides of the road knelt down one after another, and when they saw His Royal Highness the Prince, they had to make a big salute.

The news spread quickly, and the people knew about it, it turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had eliminated the Liukou by the Prime Minister this time, and everyone's attention was quickly focused on His Royal Highness the Prince.

The aura quickly focused on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The brocade guards guarding His Royal Highness the Prince, seeing the pious eyes and respectful attitude of the people, also consciously loosened a little, so that the people could see His Royal Highness the Prince.

This is also Su Tiancheng's purpose, he who followed behind, although some people paid attention, but he was not the focus of attention.

"Lord Su, congratulations, this time I basically wiped out the rogue, and Lord Su has made great contributions."

"My lord praises it, Kun Yuan is lucky, mainly due to the merits of the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion and the sergeants of the white pole soldiers."

"Hey, Master Su, don't be polite, please take care of me in the future."

When Yang Sichang said this, Su Tiancheng's heart moved, and he vaguely knew what he was saying.

"Lord Su, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so old and serious, the emperor must be very happy to see it."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is talented and intelligent, this time he stuck to the city of Kuizhou, regardless of life and death, Kun Yuan admired it very much."

"I think Master Su has more than one credit."

Su Tiancheng smiled, some things don't need to be modest, Zhu Cihong has indeed undergone tremendous changes, this is well known, and after returning to the capital, the emperor will soon be able to see it.

There were more and more people on both sides of the road, and when the large group of people had not yet arrived, the people knelt down one after another, but many people raised their heads, thinking of seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Su Tiancheng, and their wishes were fulfilled, because they could easily see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Su Tiancheng.

The road has become wider, and the Jinyi guard has opened the distance, and the distance between the left and right sides of the prince is more than one meter, so that the people can clearly see His Royal Highness the prince, and the guards along the road are very strict, and the sergeants of the five cities and horses, three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post, guard the road that needs to be passed.

Su Tiancheng and Yang Sichang are still some distance away from Zhu Cihong, mainly because Zhu Cihong is left and right and the Jinyi guards behind him occupy a certain position, which is also just right.

Most of the hour passed, and it was about to reach the front of the noon gate.

The guards around the road began to become stricter, and the common people could no longer be seen, and the guards stood guard in brocade clothes.

Su Tiancheng's expression began to become serious, and the others were the same, the relaxed atmosphere that he had held before quickly disappeared, and he was about to see the emperor, and everyone's mood must be excited, especially Ma Xianglin, who had not seen the emperor yet, of course, some of the guards of the Jiangning battalion had not seen the emperor, at this time, they must be nervous.

Su Tiancheng didn't have any special feelings, his main consideration was the twists and turns in his arms, here in the face of all the meritorious people, they all put forward suggestions for promotion or rewards, and it was not much of a problem to get the emperor's favor.

Yang Sichang's words just now aroused Su Tiancheng's attention, could it be that he was about to be promoted again, whether he entered the cabinet or went to Liaodong. (To be continued......)
