"The wharf should be expanded, and a military port should be built near the wharf and the shipyard for seven warships to berth, and there should be no fear of spending money, and another two thousand trained recruits should be allocated to enter the naval division camp." After the war, Zhu Jun found that there were more and more problems that needed to be dealt with, such as the current sailor battalion, after joining 2,000 recruits, there was a full scale of nearly 5,000 people, but the commander of the sailor battalion made Liu Er still complain about the lack of manpower, after all, the original sailor battalion was too amateurish, nominally a sailor, in fact, there was only one warship that could really fight, and the other was five or six armed warships converted from merchant ships, Zhu Jun resolutely decided to abandon all armed merchant ships, leaving only ten as transport ships. The naval division was dominated by seven Western warships.

In this way, there are countless merchant ships under Zhu Jun, there are already twenty or thirty large merchant ships plundered by the sailors at sea before, plus hundreds of large and medium-sized merchant ships captured in the Strait of Malacca this raid, due to the shortage of personnel of the sailors, they have not been able to draw out the manpower to control these merchant ships, Zhu Jun thought about it, and decided to reward some of the Ma Ren and Huang shopkeepers who made contributions to this battle, as well as the Sumatran merchant Habuda, and the rest of all the auction can be given to the maritime merchants stationed in southern Myanmar.

"Ma Ren, president of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce, rewarded ten ships on the sea, ten ships for the yellow shopkeeper, and ten ships for Habuda." Zhu Jun was a little painful when he issued the reward, but he also had some benefits for giving people to fish, the three maritime merchants' industries were in southern Burma, and the taxes paid every time they lay down were also very considerable, and the more merchant ships Zhu Jun gave them, the more silver they earned rose proportionally, and the taxes were naturally expensive.

What Zhu Jun didn't expect was that this reward inadvertently created the rise of the three major maritime giants in southern Myanmar.

"The houses damaged by the people during the war should also be repaired, and some compensation will be given according to the number of people." Zhu Jun instructed the head of the household department.

"Liu Aiqing, your Ministry of Industry has created a batch of medals for me, and the workmanship must be fine." Zhu Jun to the Ministry of Works.

Ministry Shang: "Your Majesty, what is a medal?" ”

Zhu Jun suddenly realized that there was no medal in this year, so he said: "I will draw a pattern." ”

"Also, the planning of the city must come up with a detailed plan as soon as possible. Now there are nearly 100,000 people in the city, and there are still 40,000 migrants in Ava City who have not arrived. Zhu Jun felt that he had a lot of money, and the silver in the treasury was already as high as fifteen million taels, although at least half of it would be used up to prepare for the construction of the new capital, but the surplus was still considerable. Zhu Jun plans to use the money to smash out a super metropolis.

From then on, the new capital was renamed Haidu, and the household department had to formulate more policies to attract Han people. \\\\\\\\ "Zhu Jun clearly knew that his power came from the Han people, and the higher the proportion of Han people, the more solid the foundation of his rule. Today, in the capital of Dihai, the Burmese are the largest, accounting for 50 percent of the population, with more than 50,000 people, followed by the Han people. There were more than 30,000 people, and together with the Dutch captives and the immigrants of maritime merchants from various countries, the scale was 100,000.

"Your Majesty. Now that the grain in the valley has been planted, whether to vigorously promote rice seeds. Mu Tianbo stood out of the class.

Zhu Jun shook his head. Originally, there were only a few dozen acres of experimental land for rice planting. Now all the harvest is abundant. Zhu Jun deliberately spent several days and days cultivating a large number of new rice seeds. Enough to open up a hundred acres of fertile land. At least 40,000 to 50,000 people can be fed. Most of the rest of the people's food rations still depend on maritime trafficking and requisition of grain from various cities in Myanmar. If rice seeds are popularized, it can solve the food problem. But Zhu Jun lost the monopoly of rice farming. Ultimately. It's safer to plant only in the valley.

"Let's discuss this matter in the long run." Zhu Jun waved his hand tiredly.

"Retreat!" Xiao Guizi's long, sharp voice echoed over the palace.

Following.

Nearly 10,000 soldiers from various battalions gathered on the square in front of the Martyrs' Shrine. The queue was formed as the officer's whistle sounded. They straightened their chests towards the inner city walls. Followed by. Hundreds of well-placed coffins were draped with the sun and moon flags, and one by one they were carried into the martyrs' shrine. The soldiers uniformly bowed to each of the coffins that had been sent to the Martyrs' Shrine. Sent their comrades away.

This was followed by a group of students in white plain costumes, carrying wreaths and offering sacrifices under the minaret. These Jiangnan orphans have been in southern Myanmar for half a year. It is no longer the original image of yellow muscles and thin skin. By eating well and going out for two hours a day. Makes their faces plump up a lot. The body is stronger than the others.

Nearly 1,000 students lined up in five columns, stood under the minaret with their heads held high, and solemnly shouted in unison: "We swear that we will inherit the legacy of the martyrs." Defend the country and repay the emperor's grace. Make the Ming Dynasty eternal for thousands of years. ”

After the uniform children's voices. The tens of thousands of soldiers in the square shouted: "I am willing to inherit the loyalty and martyrdom and follow my emperor's Northern Expedition to drive the captives." Settle down the Han people, long live to defend our emperor. ”

"Salute!" The solemn voice of the waiter echoed in the square.

The sound of armor grinding together was like a chord, and everyone knelt on the ground in unison, holding the smooth marble ground with their right hands in front of the spire.

"The Divine Decree has arrived!" A little eunuch appeared in the inner palace tower with a golden silk silk, looking down at the tens of thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of people under the palace wall, and chanted loudly: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: My safety is entrusted to the loyal martyrs of the three armies. ”

"Long live my emperor!" Thousands of voices shouted.

"Since then, the parents of the martyrs have been my parents, and the wives and children of the martyrs have been my wives and children, and I have issued a decree to reduce the expenses of the treasury, stop the preparation of the palace, and offer all the surplus silver to the martyrs' families to show my heart."

"Long live my emperor, long live!" Wave after wave of cries are getting louder and louder.

The rumbling salute sounded, and then the door of the inner palace opened, Zhu Jun strode out under the support of the ministers in a crown dress, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites shouted: "The award ceremony begins." ”

"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor!" The appearance of Zhu Jun made the sacrificial ceremony enter the **.

After the sound of the mountain calling for long live gradually subsided, the little eunuch behind Zhu Jun came out with another holy decree: "Holy decree, Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: The soldiers of the three armies are loyal and patriotic, and they have killed 732 enemy chieftains, and they have made outstanding achievements, and I have specially awarded medals and rewards, and all meritorious people have been awarded medals by myself. ”

The medals designed by Zhu Jun are divided into three types, the highest is the Jade Medal, and a three-clawed silver dragon is carved in the center of the medal, which is called Longxiang. The second class is made of gold, and the middle is carved with two winged golden tigers, which is called tiger wings. The third class is made of silver, and the carved is a unicorn, which is called a unicorn. At the end of the pack is a bronze medallion with a serpent carved in the middle.

Although the medal is divided into four classes, it is quite strict and must be nominated by officials such as commanders and envoys after the battle, and then the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites jointly send officials to review and approve them, and then submit them to the cabinet for approval.

Therefore, there are not many people who awarded the medal this time, and the Qianhu who led the death squad to charge and kill the Dutch musket formation only won a third-class unicorn medal, and only forty-one people won the Order of Vipers, and Zhu Jun personally awarded these forty-two people.

According to Zhu Jun's conception, the greater use of the medal is a symbol of honor, but there are also many benefits, it can be exempted from taxes, and it can also be seen that officials do not worship, and it will be written into the resume, and the promotion is faster than that of ordinary military generals.

"Long live my emperor!" Qianhu, who was the first to be awarded the Order of the Third-Class Qilin, said excitedly with a trembling mouth, he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Zhu Jun, who had awarded him the medal.

Zhu Jun very carefully fastened the Qilin Medal in front of his breastplate, only to see that his arm was tied with a thick layer of gauze, and gently patted his shoulder and said, "Is your arm injured?" ”

"Returning to the emperor, the one who was wounded by the red-haired musket took revenge and cut off his head." Qianhu still lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Zhu Jun, but there was a pride in his voice.

"Strong!" Zhu Jun praised it: "You are a meritorious man, you killed nine Dutch soldiers for me, don't twist and pinch with me, raise your head." ”

Qianhu hesitated for a while, raised his head and said: "The last general obeys the order, the last general's order is the emperor's, and he will die for the emperor." ”

"Good!" Zhu Jun was overjoyed: "What I took is your loyalty, what is your name?" ”

"The last general's name is Wang Qiu, who was originally from Yunnan and followed the emperor and Grandpa Mu into Burma." Wang Qiu replied.

Zhu Jun's heart moved: "I want to set up a death camp, I let you be the commander of the death camp, do you dare?" ”

The death battalion, as the name suggests, is more used to be cannon fodder, and when there is danger, they rush to the front, but the credit is also the greatest.

Wang Qiu saw that the emperor was kind and pleasant, and he didn't care about it, and said with a big grin: "Of course the last general dares, where the emperor points to, the last general will rush there." The death battalion rushed to the front of the three armies, and the last general rushed to the front of the death battalion, and he would never disgrace the emperor. ”

Zhu Jun nodded, feeling more and more that this rough man was a little interesting, and said angrily: "You are the commander, of course you can't rush to the front, otherwise if you die, won't the death camp be leaderless?" ”

"The emperor doesn't know, if you want to make the soldiers desperate, one is to order and prohibit, the second is to ask the emperor to worry about them, so that they no longer worry about the life of their wives and children after death, and the third is to let the people who lead the soldiers work hard, so as to make an example. The last general is willing to be an example for the emperor. ”

Zhu Jun didn't expect him to have this kind of insight, and appreciated him even more: "In this case, I will set you as an example, in front of the three armies, the death battalion is the vanguard, the death battalion is the front, and you are the vanguard." Come, give wine to General Wang Qiu, and I will drink three glasses with him. ”

"The last general thanked the emperor for the wine." Wang Qiu agreed with a big grin.
