A few months later, Xu Da, Zhu Di and others led the army back to the court.
In the past few months, through newspapers, operas and other propaganda, the news that the Ming Dynasty had destroyed the Yuanting clan and that there was no longer a court in the north had spread throughout China. The people of the Ming Dynasty were encouraged, and many people breathed a sigh of relief: they finally no longer had to worry day and night about the Mongols coming back. The land deeds and land deeds that were handed down in the Ming Dynasty in my hands can now be truly passed on to future generations with peace of mind.
This is the power of "orthodoxy". Before the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed, there were always people who still believed that the Yuan Dynasty was the so-called royal orthodoxy. There were even many landowners and squires who still felt that the Ming Dynasty was just a short-lived peasant army force, just like the previous Tianwan regime and the Han and Song regimes. The orthodox emperor is still the Mongol emperor who fled to the grasslands.
After all, Dayuan has ruled China for nearly a hundred years. Even the enthronement edict of Lao Zhu in the first year of Hongwu recognized Yuanting as the orthodoxy of Zhongzhou, and the Ming Dynasty took over the destiny from the Yuan Dynasty.
Therefore, as long as the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty is alive, the destiny of the Ming Dynasty will still be unjust and unjust.
It was not until today that Yuanting was destroyed and Emperor Ming became the only emperor in the world, and the destiny of heaven was completely attributed to Ming.
The army entered the city, and the long string of prison cars escorting the prisoners really opened the eyes of the people in Yingtian City. These ragged Yuan people used to be either the clan kings of Yuanting or the generals of Yuanting. Today, they were marched into the city one by one like livestock and allowed to be pointed out by the people.
Lao Zhu has set up a sacrificial platform in the southern suburbs. The army has arrived here in triumph, and the emperor and officials are waiting for him. Xu Da, Zhu Di, and Zhu Fan each presented the heads of the Yuan Lord Aiyou Shili Dala, the Yuan Crown Prince bought Libala, and the Yuan Prime Minister Tuo Huochi. Lao Zhu personally officiated and used the heads of the three people to pay homage to the Emperor of Heaven, once again declaring the Ming Dynasty to be the orthodoxy of the world.
After the sacrifice was completed, Lao Zhu ordered a skilled craftsman to carve the bodies of three people from fragrant wood, combine their heads, and bury them with the emperor's, prince's, and marquis' rites respectively. Later, he gave generous rewards to the soldiers and promoted them to the officers. Tens of thousands of troops and officials all called out to Heaven for his virtue, the sea to Xianning, and the holy bow to be blessed. Then, Lao Zhu began to read out the rewards for the general in charge of the expedition:
"The king of Jin, Zhu Fan, has made great contributions to the country in resisting the captives. With the addition of nine tins, he is allowed to enter the court without being praised and worshiped without fame. He is given the opportunity to build an ancestral temple for the king of Jin in Taiyuan Prefecture and is granted overseas status."
"The king of Yan, Zhu Di, has made great achievements in the thousands of miles. He also added nine tins. He was allowed to enter the court without being followed, and he was praised and worshiped without fame. He was given to Shuntian Prefecture to build an ancestral temple for the king of Yan, and he was allowed to be granted overseas status."
There is nothing to say about the rewards of these two princes. As princes, they have established military merits and are granted the right to grant overseas kingdoms. In addition, Jiuxi allows them to control the principality of their surname overseas in the future. These are all empty promises for the time being. After all, the same is true for Zhou Wang Zhu Su, who has just changed his title. Although he has permission, there is currently no overseas land for enfeoffment.
The next reward made everyone really excited.
"Husband, the Son of Heaven, will show his virtues and defy the enemy's defense. He will shine on all the officials. He is concerned about the birth of Li, but he is still afraid that he may lose it. Therefore, Zhao ordered to show his virtues to his descendants. Therefore, the huts of the temple are cleared, and the banquets are crossed on the road. The big soup is not served, and Zhao It is frugal; its crown and robes show its degree; its speed and sharpness show its number; its flaming dragon and its fur show its writing; its five-color comparison with images shows its object."
"Today, Yuan Ting rebels against the Lord. He has always been a lizard at heart and a wolf by nature. He indulges in passion and makes noises in vain. He is acting against the will and causing resentment from Heaven. Today, under the Ding Revolution, the Ming Dynasty Lord Guizhou Li is still defying Heaven and disobeying orders and wandering around. In the grassland, he pretended to be the emperor."
"Fortunately, there is a general named Xu Da, who has made great achievements. He was ordered by Gu to be in the propaganda room, and he followed the advice of Yu Nei. The soldiers left the land north of Linghai and overcame the enemy in the dangerous environment. Finally, they eliminated the rebellious people and brought glory to China. Fame spreads beyond the borders.”
"Therefore, I granted him the title of Duke of Wei, worshiped him in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and made Hara and Forest his fiefdom. I allowed him to establish a country and call it a system, and he was not hereditary. He will live on the left side of China forever and protect all the people of China!"
Real seal! It’s actually sealed! The nobles, officials, and even the thousands of people watching the ceremony and the soldiers standing in awe all became excited at this moment.
The first enfeoffed feudal lord was born today!
"Your Majesty, Xu Da, thanks the Emperor for his kindness! From generation to generation of the Xu family, we will always serve the Emperor of Heaven as our Lord, and protect our country, China, from eternal prosperity. The emperor, the emperor, and the empress, all learn from these words. We are treacherous and ungrateful, and both heaven and man will kill us!"
Xu Da's majestic body knelt down towards Lao Zhu on the high platform in front of tens of thousands of people. The new wind is hunting, and Lao Zhu is also full of excitement. He slightly gestured to Zhu Biao, and Zhu Biao, who understood, held a well-made long sword in his hands and handed it to Xu Da.
"This sword of the Nine Provinces is given to Duke Wei now. I hope that Duke Wei can still be my sword of China in the outside world, to level the world and prosper China together!"
"I accept the decree! I will live up to the expectations of Your Majesty and the Crown Prince!" Xu Da took the sword with both hands, and thousands of people in the audience shouted:
"Wei Gong! Wei Gong! Wei Gong!"
The nobles' eyes turned red when they saw the "Kiuzhou Sword" in Xu Da's hand. Fei Ju was the first to rush out, knelt down on one knee and shouted to the stage: "Your Majesty, please go out to conquer the Western Barbarians. Clear the world for Your Majesty!"
"Fuck you Fei Laosan!" Lan Yu, who was a step late, was not to be outdone. After scolding Fei Ju, he also shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! Please help your Majesty to eliminate the rebel bandits of Goryeo and eliminate the worries of my Ming Dynasty. !”
"I invite you to send troops to the Western Regions to restore the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties for the Ming Dynasty!"
"I ask you to lead the troops to pacify Jingwala and eradicate the Mongolian Tatars!"
"Please..."
A group of martial artists scrambled to grab it, fearing they would be a step too late. After all, the world is so big. If these old brothers take away all the military glory in the surrounding area, will they drink the northwest wind by themselves?
Even some nobles who had clearly stated that they would give up enfeoffment and wanted to go home with the money they collected and enjoy the glory and wealth looked at Xu Da on the stage and the Kyushu Sword in his hand with envious eyes. flushed. Many people gritted their teeth and shamelessly approached, asking to send troops to fight, which aroused boos from those old brothers in the past.
They turned a deaf ear to the fact that these founding figures were mostly rogues in the market and homeless people wandering around. That is to say, he has gained wealth in the past few years, and he has a certain air of being a master. Now that I have seen that an old friend has actually been made the king of the country, why should I be reserved?
Is it worth having a face to be hereditary and irreplaceable as the head of the country?
Not only the nobles, but also the soldiers, officers, and even the common people are all eager to take advantage of this turbulent time to create a career. Seeing that the morale was available and the people were enthusiastic, Lao Zhu nodded slightly.
"Okay, hahaha, okay. The whole world is united as one, and we are moving forward boldly. Our revitalization of China is unstoppable!"
