In the meeting house of Jianzhong Mansion, a group of generals and officers of the Northern Expeditionary Army sat neatly and listened to Zhu Gaoxian's speech, and the content of the meeting was:

Zhu Gaoxian, as the supreme military commander of the Ming Dynasty in the northeast region, made a speech at this meeting on the "On the Might of the Ming Army and the Alien Race Is a Fool", and a group of senior generals of the Ming Dynasty seconded the proposal and agreed with the opinion of King Qi.

The great victory of the Ming army in the northeast is now over, but the construction after the battle is another problem. However, after Zhu Gaoxian overturned the Jianzhou Jurchens, the system set up can already prove that this system will be widely used in the future expansion of the Ming Dynasty, assimilation is always higher than killing, and wherever Zhu Gaoxian passed, there were no aliens, and all became Han Chinese.

At the end of the meeting, Zhu Gaoxian clasped his hands together and said slowly: "I want to build a Ming martyrs cemetery in Jianzhou, bury the remains of all the Ming soldiers who died in the northeast in the cemetery, set up a Ming martyrs meritorious monument, and engrave the names of all the people on the sacrifice list on the meritorious monument." ”

The generals looked at each other, and finally it was the old father-in-law Zhang Fu who said, "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

No one objected, King Qi's right to speak in the Northeast was absolute, and his dominance in Jianzhou Province was no different from that of the founding emperor.

The territory was fought down by him, the army and local officials were all from the Qi Palace, and even His Majesty the Emperor, who was far away in Jinling City, was acquiescing to the Qi Palace's cultivation of power in the northeast, who would dare to oppose him?

Not to mention building a martyr's cemetery, even if Zhu Gaoxian wants to build a Jianzhou Palace, no one dares to say the word "no", as long as he doesn't wear a dragon robe and rebel.

……

The location of the martyrs' cemetery was set on the outskirts of Jianzhou Capital, and the Ming army sacrificed nearly 3,000 people in Jianzhou, and nearly 2,000 people could find the corpses, and this casualty has been compressed to the limit, and the final battle "Battle of Beiguan" alone beheaded and captured nearly 20,000 female Allah. can have such a low casualty rate, in addition to Zhu Gaoxian's supernatural command, breaking the Jurchens and reducing the damage, a large part of the reason is that the Ming army is elite enough.

However, these two thousand martyrs can't be buried in a wave, after all, what Zhu Gaoxian said is a "thick burial", and they can't be buried in a pit directly, they have to be buried in a coffin.

The carpenter's hammer-wielding arm could not make 2,000 coffins in a short time, so they were buried in batches, and the first batch of 300 people was buried.

The leaden sky was overcast, a thin white mist covered the cemetery, and rows of cedars swayed pine needles in the breeze, but the trees were tough and hazy with bitterness.

The cold snowflakes were flying, and the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army were in a neat array, witnessing the three hundred coffins that were about to be buried in front of them.

Zhu Gaoxian was wearing armor, standing at the front of the queue, with his waist straight, and beckoned to Chirong not far away.

Chi Rong knew this, and ordered someone to move down the cart of boxes, and after the boxes were opened, there were folded flags.

With a red background and white edges, the left sun and the right moon, the word "Ming" is written, which is the military flag of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

There are 300 such military flags!

Zhu Gaoxian took a military flag and unfolded it, covered it on the coffin board of a martyr's coffin, and said loudly with a military salute: "Xu Shao, go all the way!" ”

Xu Shao, the Ming army sergeant lying in the coffin, an ordinary sergeant, just an ordinary sergeant, was sent off by the prince.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Gaoxian took another military flag and spread it on the next coffin: "Zhang Laosi, go all the way!" ”

"Li Erga, go all the way!"

"Wang Xiangyang, go all the way!"

“……”

In the midst of this heavy snowfall, in front of all the officers and men of the army, Zhu Gaoxian spread military flags on the coffins of each martyr and saw them off one by one.

The corners of the young sergeant's eyes moistened slightly after hearing Zhu Gaoxian's name, because the person sent away by King Qi was his own brother.

"Don't cry, it's cold, tears will freeze!" The general on the side said with red eyes.

The person sent away by King Qi was the brother of the sergeant and the son of the general.

"There is Prince Qi to see him off in person, what an honor this is, why are you crying little cub?" The general said as he wiped his tears.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yong took another look at the martyr's meritorious monument inscribed by Zhu Gaoxian himself, and the more than 3,000 names on it were shining, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After today, the elite of the 30,000 forbidden troops who followed King Qi to fight in the Northeast will not be able to control anyone except King Qi in the future.

King Qi's prestige in the army can no longer be described as in the sky, he is the faith of everyone!

Buying people's hearts can be regarded as letting King Qi understand it!

……

The thirteenth year of Yongle, March.

The imperial court officially announced that the Nuer Gandu Division would be abolished and changed to Jianzhou Province, and the system of Jianzhou Province would be set according to the template laid by King Qi, which was equivalent to recognizing the legitimacy of the Three Divisions, the Naturalization Envoy Division, and the Hanwen Academy on the table.

This official announcement is very important for Jianzhou Province, to be precise, for the Qi Palace.

Because the system of Jianzhou Province is completely a platform built by Zhu Gaoxian, it is completely his hall. If Zhu Di wants to pick the fruit, he can change the soup without changing the medicine, and change all the officials in the Jianzhou system, so that Zhu Gaoxian will lose his dominance in Jianzhou Province.

However, Zhu Di did not and acquiesced to Jianzhou Province becoming King Qi's back garden.

Zhu Gaoxian was a little surprised by this, he thought at first that Zhu Di would more or less divide the power of Jianzhou Province and not let the power of Qi Wangfu become too strong, but he didn't expect the old man to directly give all of Jianzhou Province to Qi Wangfu.

This is also because Zhu Gaoxian doesn't know the situation in Jinling City, he just heard that the prince was imprisoned, but he is in Jianzhou, and he doesn't know much about this matter, and he thought it was the old man's daily convulsions, and he didn't think that Zhu Di's move was to change the prince.

How can the prince not have his own team!

On 22 March, the Northern Expeditionary Army returned to Beijing.

……

The summer goes to the cold, and the winter meets the spring.

Zhu Di, the bull-eared ruler of the Ming Empire, lay on a rattan chair on the shore of Xuanwu Lake, closing his eyes and enjoying the parting of late spring, which was the last spring breeze before the hot summer.

His Majesty's workload has been significantly lighter recently, and as soon as he heard that Prince Qi was going back to Beijing, King Qi's henchmen worked like chickens in the government and politics, which also allowed Zhu Di to come to Xuanwu Lake to go around and taste the intriguing tranquility.

"Tang Cheng, I heard that King Qi can return to Beijing today?" Zhu Di asked nonchalantly.

Tang Cheng bowed his head and said: "Back to Long Live Lord, if there is no accident, it should be this afternoon." ”

"Afternoon, good afternoon."

Zhu Di sat up and said slowly: "King Qi's errand in Jianzhou this time is very good, and he is worthy of being my unicorn, and he has won my love since he was a child. ”

Tang Cheng's heart was already scolding his mother.

You love it when you are young, the former King Qi was scolded by you in the imperial study, what kind of "rebel", "beast", "stinky hill eight", the level of swear words is endless, I can't wait to beat King Qi's ass into eight petals, these things are forgotten now?

Hey, you're really forgetful.

"From which gate did King Qi enter the city?" Zhu Di suddenly asked.

When Tang Cheng heard this, he guessed what His Majesty the Emperor was going to do: "Your Majesty, this is not in line with etiquette." ”

"Etiquette?" Zhu Di chuckled, "Who set the etiquette system?" Yongle was a day, and what I did and said was etiquette! ”
