This is true. How many young people in later generations actually practice calligraphy with calligraphy? It is already a very good thing for Zhu Changwu to be able to use calligraphy to write characters that others recognize. But even so, after experiencing this incident, he decided not to write any calligraphy with calligraphy in the future. The system's individual soldier backpack did have a ballpoint pen and paper.
The characters were a bit ugly, but at least they could still be read clearly. It didn’t take a while for Chongzhen to understand the content above, and then burst into laughter.
Seeing that Chongzhen was in a good mood, Queen Zhou also happily asked, "Your Majesty, is there anything you are happy about?"
"Yes, this Zhu Changwu is going to hold a ceremony to welcome the triumphant army. He is asking me if he can also go and watch it." Chongzhen said and delivered the letter to Queen Zhou.
It is said that the harem cannot interfere with politics, but the current Ming Dynasty has lost its former glory and splendor, and naturally no one will care about some minor matters.
"The writing is so ugly." This was the impression Queen Zhou gave her when she saw the letter for the first time.
"It's understandable. I haven't received any guidance from a famous teacher since I was a child." Chongzhen, on the other hand, took the initiative to excuse Zhu Changwu.
Queen Zhou nodded. When she thought of Zhu Changwu's growth experience, maternal love suddenly seemed to overflow again.
Fortunately, she also knew that business was important, so she looked at the content of the letter. Soon, she looked at Chongzhen with a hint of surprise and asked: "Zhu Changwu asked your Majesty to go to the outer city for a military parade?"
"Yes." Chongzhen smiled and nodded.
"Your Majesty, are you going? It's outside the city. Can safety be guaranteed now?" Queen Zhou was still thinking a lot. It is not that there were no military parades in the Ming Dynasty in the past, but most of them were in the palace. The selected soldiers walked in a circle in front of them, and it was enough.
To talk about the real military parade, we have to say that it was not long after the founding of the Ming Dynasty. There were more military parades at that time. After all, the emperors at that time were all people who were good at recruiting and fighting. Unlike the emperor behind him, it was a weasel laying waste to mice, and every litter was worse than the next. The so-called military parade was either non-existent or just a formality.
This time Zhu Changwu asked His Majesty to come to the military parade in person or in an outer city. It was inevitable that Queen Zhou would be a little worried.
"It doesn't matter." Chongzhen waved his hand domineeringly after hearing this, "The outer city is dangerous, can it still be as dangerous as yesterday?"
When talking about yesterday, Queen Zhou's face turned a little pale. Thinking about it, if Zhu Changwu hadn't appeared in time, she might have died long ago.
"Okay, let's forget the unpleasant things. I will leave the palace in a while, but I won't be wearing the dragon robe. What about you, if you want, let's come together." Chongzhen noticed that Queen Zhou's face was a little ugly, and thought It would be better to take her to the outer city to relax, so he invited her.
"Can I come with you, please?" Queen Zhou became interested and asked happily.
"Yes. I have actually figured it out. It's not that we can't abide by the ancestral rules, but it also depends on the situation. That guy is right." Chongzhen looked as if he was feeling emotional.
Listening to Chongzhen describing Zhu Changwu as that boy instead of Zhu Aiqing, Queen Zhou couldn't help but purse her lips and smile. "Yes, that boy is really different from others, a little different."
The couple reached an agreement and called Wang Chengen to make preparations. Coincidentally, Crown Prince Zhu Cihong, Prince Ding Zhu Cijiong and Princess Changping Zhu Huiyu came to pay their respects to their father, the emperor and the empress. When they learned that Chongzhen was going out of the city for a military parade, they all looked very interested.
Thinking that the children were frightened by what happened yesterday, Chongzhen simply agreed. In this way, the whole family got ready and put on ordinary clothes that they rarely wore. Then Wang Chengen became Dongchang. The deputy factory manager, as the second in command, also transferred some young eunuchs who knew martial arts to accompany him.
...
Under the square in front of Guangning Gate.
The army, led by Wu Linzheng, rushed back and began to have breakfast together.
They drank rice porridge and ate meat buns and pickles.
Since there were too many people, there wasn't a lot of meat, but luckily it was plenty. This was already excellent food for the Ming army who had only eaten a meal of dry food after fighting for a day.
We formed a team of ten people, sat together in a circle and started eating steamed buns.
While everyone was eating, Zhu Changwu, Zhang Yi and a group of Jinyi guards were also busy registering the approximate harvest of this battle and the statistics of the confiscated spoils.
In this battle, the Ming army dispatched 15,000 men and won great victories at Xuanwumen, Guangningmen, Zhanghuamen and outside the city.
Among them, after leaving Zhanghua Gate, the intruder threw away a lot of packages in order to run faster. Zhu Changwu immediately issued an order, allowing them to pick up, but he could keep 30% of the packages for himself and 70% had to be handed over.
What is being collected now is this loot.
Zhang Yi was still very conscientious. After more than an hour, the statistics were finally completed. The harvest was about 200,000 taels, of which 3,000 Ming troops were able to grab the spoils lost by the intruders. Give them 30%, which is 60,000 taels, and the average share of 3,000 people is about 20 taels.
This part of the money was distributed directly when the spoils of war were collected. The soldiers of the Ming army who received the money were all smiles when they saw that the general really kept his word, and at the same time they became more convinced of Zhu Changwu.
Those who didn't get the spoils were naturally a little jealous. But fortunately, the head of the Criminal Department named Zhang Xi just said that as long as he followed the general closely in the future, there would be plenty of opportunities, so he was relieved.
The money for the loot was divided, but the money for the heads of the intruders was not divided. This Zhu Changwu requested that rewards be distributed when he entered the square. Imagine that a total of more than 35,000 enemies were killed in this battle, that is more than 70,000 ears. If they were piled together, it would be equally majestic.
Using this to stimulate the morale of the military and telling the people of the Ming Dynasty in the capital is far more effective than saying a hundred or a thousand sentences by yourself.
While the soldiers were eating, Zhu Changwu called Wu Linzheng, Ji Pingan, Lou Heyang, Hu Yunfeng and Liang Jun to his side. "When we enter the square later, His Majesty will be there in person. When the time comes, you, as the generals of the military parade, will go in front."
"Ah! Do I want it too?" Lou Heyang, as the only woman, looked surprised.
"Yes, not only do you have to walk in front, but I will also get you a different uniform later. By the way, from now on, you will be the commander of thousands." His eyes just glanced at Lou Heyang's body. , Zhu Changwu said very calmly.
A woman can hold up half the sky!
This is what the great leader said, and Zhu Changwu deeply believes in this. In many ways, women have become indispensable in later generations.
"Captain?" Lou Heyang was surprised when he heard that he was going to participate in the military parade and walk in front. Then he heard that he had been promoted to captain, not to mention the surprise.
"Yes, not only you, but also your husband-in-law Lao Ji, Xiao Fengzi and Xiao Liangzi are also like this. You are both captains of thousands."
Before the war, Zhu Changwu said that killing three people would make a team leader, five people would make a captain, twenty people would make a hundred households, and fifty people would make a thousand households.
With the 191 style in their hands, Ji Jinkai and the four of them killed not only fifty people, but the number must have been more than that, so they would naturally be awarded the title of Captain of Thousands.
As soon as Zhu Changwu's words came out, Ji Jinkai and the others became excited.
Yesterday's situation left a deep impression on everyone. To put it harshly, it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a narrow escape from death.
But who would have thought that Zhu Changwu would solve them as soon as he took action, and now he would even appoint them as officials. Captain, doesn't that mean that they can manage a thousand people in the future? This is something they never dared to dream about, but now it has become a reality.
"Hey, look at your worthless looks. You have to learn to be calm. Look at me. Yesterday I led 15,000 troops, but how can I be so worthless like you? Haha, let me tell you, just follow me from now on. , Captain of thousands is just the beginning, in the future he will become captain of ten thousand, twenty thousand, fifty thousand, even one hundred thousand or more."
Zhu Changwu looked at everyone with a smile. He was not joking about these words, but really thought about them like this. Since God allowed him to come and gave him such a powerful system, hehe, he would be sorry for himself if he didn't do something good.
As for what to do, of course, kill, kill, kill.
In Zhu Changwu's view, some ethnic groups in later generations who always caused trouble for the Chinese state had no need to exist at all. By killing them, you can also increase the value of your own system, which can be regarded as waste utilization.
When it comes to captains of ten thousand, fifty thousand or even one hundred thousand, Ji Jinkai and the others become even more excited.
Especially Ji Jinkai himself, his thinking immediately changed.
Before, he was still wondering whether he had been poisoned by Zhu Changwu. Seeing that the Ming Dynasty was about to end, he now stepped in and wondered whether it was the right choice. But now, he has no thoughts about this at all.
Chaos is good, chaos is when a man like him comes into play.
As for Hu Yunfeng and Liang Jun, let alone them. One of them is a junior brother and the other is a follower since childhood. They have always gone wherever Zhu Changwu goes. As for becoming a captain, of course I am happy, but what is even more happy is that the young master has not forgotten them even after he became rich. This is the most important point.
"Okay, the matter is settled like this. As for you, go and pick the troops now. Each of them will lead three thousand troops, and then tell them the process of the military parade. Tell the soldiers that His Majesty and the people of the capital are watching them. Well, you must not make a fool of yourself, hold your chest high, and have the majesty of a victorious master."
After Zhu Changwu gave instructions one by one, Wu Linzheng and the five others took the order and left. Zhu Changwu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw their leaving figures.
