As soon as Chen Zuyi died, there were no more thieves in the East China Sea in Nanyang, and the Haiyan River was clear. After staying for a few more months, until he had dealt with the remnants of Chen Zuyi and the establishment of the Three Buddhas Concession, Zhu Su took a step to say goodbye to Tang He and Chang Mao, and went to Yingtian with Li Jinglong to resume his life.

On the other side, he divided two roads with Zhu Subing, went north to investigate the rebellion of Yan'an Hou and Ji'an Hou Junu, and was responsible for purging Zhu Di, who was responsible for clearing the border generals who opened the door to the second candidate, had already crossed the Yangtze River. When he came back this time, he not only took back a lot of scum in the Ming border army who were corrupt and greedy, but at the same time, he would also join the Ming army of Pingliang Hou Feiju and Yao Guangxiao who went west to conquer the Timurid Empire. The Western Regions are far away, Fei Ju, Yao Guangxiao and others led the troops back to the division along the land route, but they happened to collide with Zhu Di.

Until this time, the heroes and generals of the Ming Dynasty who conquered the Timurid Empire in the west and recovered the Western Regions in the past can be regarded as triumphant.

Zhu Di's Ming army went out to fight, which can be called a great achievement, first with a partial division out of the fortress, maneuvering between the grassland tribes, and helping Wei Duke Xu Da and Wei Shizi Xu Yungong to protect the northern Xinjiang field. During this period, the war was fed by war, and the more he fought, the stronger he became, and he subdued two Mongolian iron cavalry for the Ming Dynasty.

Then he moved to Hami, defeated the Great Khan of Wara, and subdued Yili to recover the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties in the Western Regions. Later, he took advantage of the situation to march into Central Asia, and stopped the throat of the Timurid Empire, which was developing strongly and could become a threat to the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Su's soldiers and horses along the way are also remarkable. Its sword went sideways, attacked Central Asia by sea, opened up the maritime Silk Road all the way, set up many concessions and commercial ports in Nanyang, and broke the Delhi Sultanate that did not respect the Great Ming Dynasty, so that the Chinese military power reached the place of poison for the first time, so that the Celestial Empire was taught to the former Buddha country, and "inspired" countless small countries located in the poisonous barbarians to go to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute and respect the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain.

Moreover, because the influence of the Ming Dynasty spread all over the abdomen, the Tibetan and Wusi-Tibetan tribes, which are located on the plateau and difficult to reach, have also sent envoys to Ying Tianfu to express their willingness to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhu Di and Zhu Su merged their soldiers and horses, their profits were cut off, and the ambitious lame Sultan Timur who was interested in restoring Genghis Khan's homeland would covet the Ming Dynasty and the rising Timurid Empire was strangled at the time of the rise, so that the influence of the Ming Dynasty reached the European continent, and the Ottomans, Byzantium, Francos and other countries all heard the name of the Ming Dynasty.

Such a great achievement can be said to shake the past and the present, and it is not an exaggeration. After that, he beat the rabbit with grass, and by the way, he solved the rebellion of the two marquis of Ji'an Hou and Yan'an Hou, as well as the White Lotus Sect and Haikou in the south, and the corruption of the border generals in the north...... It's not so dazzling.

The victories of these battles brought tangible benefits to the Ming Dynasty: the Timurid Empire and the Chen Zuyi group on the north-south trade route were destroyed, and the Silk Road and the Maritime Silk Road were all unimpeded. This alone can bring inexhaustible commercial taxes to Daming in the future. Not to mention the influence of the Ming Dynasty spread throughout the Eurasian countries, and the spices, minerals and other materials produced by the world are also available to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Concession was dotted throughout Asia.

These concessions, trade routes, and tribute roads under construction will become bloodlines that will feed the blood of the Ming Empire, making the heritage of the Chinese Empire stronger and stronger. An unprecedented China is on the rise.

At the same time, it also slapped those pedantic masters who stuck to the old ways and clung to the defects: Who said that the strategy of opening up the territory and expanding the territory is to use military force? Arrogant and fearful, is the way to defeat!

Huaxia, the dragon, the enterprising heart that was originally sleeping in the pile of old papers, began to wake up in an all-round way......

Zhu Su and Zhu Di had previously returned to China in a light boat with a partial division, and the government and the opposition were caught off guard, and they didn't even have a decent welcoming ceremony. Later, there was Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng's incident, and the government and the opposition had no time to prepare for any ceremony. However, this time, even the army has returned to the court, if there is no decent welcoming ceremony, let alone Lao Zhu, even the people of the world will not be happy.

The Ministry of Rites sent someone to stop Zhu Su and Zhu Di in Jiangzuo a few days ago, and checked the full set of etiquette with the two princes and the soldiers to welcome the triumphant army. Lao Zhu specially taught Qin Tianjian to choose the auspicious day of the zodiac, influenced by the two fathers and sons of Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao, who had the potential to workaholic, and it was difficult to have a break in the Ming Dynasty on the first day of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Biao took the Manchu Dynasty civil and military Qi to the swallow rock outside Yingtian City to welcome the triumphant soldiers across the river.

On this day, there were not only civil and military officials in the court who greeted the triumphant soldiers in Yanziji, but also officials of Zhishi, famous scholars, meritorious ministers, and relatives of the emperor. Even the monks, nuns, and Taoist priests of the major monasteries in Beijing, the envoys of various countries stationed in the Honglu Temple, the heads of the major chambers of commerce, and even the common people of Qianshou, the scholars and boys who want to see the might of the great soldiers, and all kinds of people gather here, and Yanziji is already crowded.

Fortunately, in recent years, the Ming Dynasty has also been a frequent event, and it is not the first time that the Ministry of Rites in charge of this matter has organized such a big event. And after Lao Zhu's several iron-fisted purges, the officials selected by the Ming Dynasty are no longer what they used to be, and there are many people who are indiscriminate and full of money left over from the old Yuan court. Although Ren Ang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is a jinshi from the Yuan Dynasty to the Zheng Dynasty, he has studied the six arts, and he is by no means a rotten Confucianism that eats the ancients.

He has the courage to do things, and he also has a lot of research on new learning, and he also highly respects the criterion of "seeking truth from facts and applying it to the world" put forward by Zhu Su and Song Lian and other leaders of new learning. He once played the destruction of the world's obscene shrines, in order to stop the world's evil sects and foreign religions to make a clean up, and once presided over the tribute of foreign countries in various places, formulated the system of crown uniforms, Dacheng musical instruments, and determined the merits of the army to level Yunnan, etc., all in good order, and was a capable official who made great contributions to the stability of the Ming Dynasty and was very valued by the old Zhu.

Under Ren Ang's auspices, the Ministry of Rites divided different areas in Yanziji in advance, and all kinds of people who came to greet them waited in different areas according to their identities, although they were crowded, they were also in order.

On the wharf, the color shed set up by the Ministry of Rites is full of three feet and six feet, the red silk is hung high, the flag is flying, the singing, dancing and vocal music are all ready, because of the worry of welcoming the team or there are old and weak people, there are even many sheds on both sides of the road, there is tea in the shed to serve, for those who are difficult to stand for a long time to sit and rest for a while.

It is impossible for the warship to cross the river to use the treasure ship of the voyage, but the three-story boat used by the Yangtze River sailor is also enough to strengthen the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. On the ship, the soldiers of the Ming Expedition all wiped the scarred armor on their bodies, and they held their chests high, representing the robes of all expeditions, ready to accept the salute and congratulations from the fathers and elders of the old country.
