When Zhu Houzhao was still in the room, he heard a voice shouting. After all, he was young and had good ears, so he raised his head first.
"Liu Jin, is someone calling Northwest?"
When these words came out, both of them held their breath, and a few seconds later they heard a sound of "Good news from the northwest."
"Your Majesty! It's a good news!" Liu Jin was so happy that her face was full of wrinkles, and she seemed to be crying with joy after hearing two more confirmations, "Your Majesty, what a good news! What a good news!"
"Let's go! Take a look!"
Zhu Houzhao threw away the memorial in his hand. Nothing is as important as this now. From the first month to the end of March, winter has turned into spring. Maybe people in ancient times passed slowly, and they were used to no news from people far away. .
He, a modern man, was really anxious to death. To be honest, he had dreamed about it many times.
The use of troops this time was a decision he made when he first came to the throne. It was very critical. If he were not a stable heir to the throne like Zhu Houzhao, he would not have dared to take this risk.
And now finally...finally!
When I walked to the gate of Qianqing Palace, I saw a figure running in, shouting "Good News from the Northwest!"
Zhu Houzhao clenched his fists tightly, his body felt trembling, and he couldn't help but walked out.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Good news from the northwest is here!!"
"Come expressly!"
Liu Jin walked over with small steps, and behind the emperor, Fengxi and Guo Shangkun also looked at each other, their eyes full of joy.
There is white paper attached to the light brown memorial surface, with the four characters "Guanji urgent memorial" written on it.
"In the first month of the eighteenth year of Hongzhi's reign, Yang Yiqing, the commander-in-chief of the three northwest border states, reported: In the first month of the eighteenth year of Hongzhi's reign, I received the order, reorganized war preparations, and engaged the enemy; in February, the Tatar and Mongolian troops invaded Ningxia and invaded Ningxia from Huamachi. In order to plunder, the minister controlled the troops and horses of the three towns to rush to the aid of Lingzhou, and Huo Si led the troops to retreat to the Luopu River; in March, the minister ordered Zhang Lun and Cao Sheng, the deputy commanders of Gansu Town, to defeat one first and lure the enemy deeper, with the intention of completing their achievements in one battle! Si Yinchen was first appointed as the governor of the three sides..."
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
The emperor said three good words in a row.
"Yang Yingning's strategy of showing the enemy weakness is good! His courage in taking risks is good! His calmness in commanding in battle is good!"
Yang Yiqing's victory report detailed the course of the war. Of course, it was indispensable for the majesty of Yang Shangyi leading the Ming cavalry across the grassland, and also for Zhou Shangwen's miraculous feat of defeating many with less and capturing Zana alive.
Zhu Houzhao always felt that the Ming Dynasty was not that weak at this time, and the Tatars were not that strong. The key was to use the right people, put a reliable person, and the court should not hinder the generals, and victory could still be achieved. Captured!
At the end of the victory report, of course, there are the numbers of enemies killed and captured. Although Yang Shangyi pursued Huo Si all the way to the Great Wall, which was very exciting, the enemies escaped a lot. The one who killed the most enemies was actually Zhou Shangwen, who led the Beijing camp cavalry and the Zana tribe. In the bloody battle by the river, he, the coach, suffered four stab wounds!
This shows the intensity of the war!
In this battle, the Ming army killed more than 8,400 enemies in total, captured more than 2,000 enemies, and severely damaged the main force of the Fire Sieve Division.
Of course, the Ming army's own casualties were not small. The precious Ming cavalry lost more than 800 people. In fact, they did not have any difficult battles. They were always chasing the enemy. ….
The Beijing camp led by Zhou Shangwen suffered more casualties. More than 1,400 of the 3,000 cavalry were killed, and 80% of the remaining cavalry were injured.
Zhu Houzhao thought that although Yang Shangyi was considered a relatively good general, there was no mention of his name in history after all. Judging from the shocking feeling, generals like Zhou Shangwen whose names were recorded in history books were more powerful.
The so-called military talent means that people can do seemingly impossible things for you.
To say it was impossible, Li Shimin fought a miraculous battle throughout his life.
"It is reported that the Cabinet, the Military Aircraft Department, the Minister of War, Wang Chang, the Minister of Rites, Lin Han, the Minister of Punishments, Min Gui, and the Minister of Works, Zeng Jian, have entered the palace!"
It was time to get busy now. For such a great victory in the imperial court, there must be some celebrations. In addition, the Ministry of War also had to discuss matters of reward and pension. Anyway, Zhu Houzhao, an official who was relevant and irrelevant, was called into the palace.
In case it is necessary, it would be troublesome to have someone announce it at that time.
After thinking for a while, Liu Jin reported from the side: "Your Majesty, Mr. Liu Ge and Mr. Li Ge are kneeling in front of the Fengtian Hall."
"Kneeling? What did they say?"
"Of course it's to congratulate His Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao's eyes changed slightly. In fact, if possible... he would also like to keep the cabinet combination of Liu, Li, and Xie, but a quarrel like this between the emperor and the cabinet chief cannot happen again.
"Please invite them all to come over first."
These little details cannot affect the emperor's exciting mood. After ascending the throne, he had many thoughts and the starting point for all breakthroughs was this victory.
When Zhu Houzhao was wandering around the Qianqing Palace and unable to sit down at ease, the news had actually spread in the capital.
The soldiers from the northwest rode fast horses and rushed all the way to the Forbidden City. Who wouldn't know about such a huge battle?
Wang Hao, Han Wen, and Min Gui had no time to return home, so it was important to enter the palace quickly at this time. In the streets, people were already celebrating.
Even the number of people was higher than usual. Wang Hao opened the curtain of the sedan and saw a young man who looked like a scholar shouting: "It seems that the imperial court won the battle in Ningxia. Let's go find Ke Qing quickly. He must know more." details!"
Han Wen sat opposite him and sighed: "The people's support can be used."
"In this case, Liu Ge always can't stay." Wang Hao felt a pity to some extent.
Liu Xixian has an excellent official reputation. No matter what, he is not Liu Daxia's kind of person. Moreover, the emperor hated Liu Daxia more than he actually admired Liu Xixian.
"When I enter the palace this time, in addition to congratulating on the good news and agreeing on a reward for the border officers, Guandao also wants to work with me to find a way out for Liu Xixian. In any case, we cannot let him become the second Liu Daxia."
It doesn't matter if he speaks Korean, he now has a high degree of mutual trust with the emperor. In fact, if you find out Zhu Houzhao's habits, you will find that being an official is actually quite rewarding. Because the emperor has the same thoughts as you. He doesn't want to enjoy himself or get into trouble. He just wants to do good government affairs.
"Brother Ji, Brother Guandao, have you underestimated His Majesty again?"
After listening to Min Gui's words, Wang Hao and Han Wen smiled at each other again.
Yes, what kind of person is the emperor? How could he not see clearly who Liu Xixian is?
It's just that Wang Hao is like an old woman, and she likes to consider all aspects since the emperor was very young. ….
By the time the three of them arrived at Qianqing Palace, almost all the people summoned by the emperor were already there.
"Today is such a happy event, I want to celebrate it with all my dear friends. I have been waiting day and night, and the good news from Ningxia has finally arrived. Thanks to the blessings of our ancestors, the hard work of all my dear friends, and the lives of the soldiers in the Beijing camp and the border. I The Ming Dynasty severely damaged the Tatar and Mongol Jin tribes in the Huamachi area of Ningxia. It was a pity that they could not capture the fire sieve, but they also captured his subordinate Zana."
"I congratulate Your Majesty! Long live, long live, long live!"
Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair. After this, he still had to pay attention to his behavior and not to be too frivolous. "How can I be the only one to congratulate such a big event? The decree is that a grand meeting will be held tomorrow, and I will be with hundreds of people." Let’s congratulate you together!”

"At the beginning, His Majesty made an arbitrary decision and advocated the use of troops in the northwest. Former Minister of War Liu Daxia and other ministers tried their best to obstruct it. How could they understand the foresight of His Majesty? If it is true as they said, then my Ming Dynasty will be underestimated by those northern captives again. !」
At this time, only Jiao Fang, the Minister of Rites, was the only one who said such words of beating a drowned dog.
Although he was a little too proud, Zhu Houzhao actually felt a little relieved when he heard it. He looked at the cabinet that had opposed him at the beginning. In fact, they were all very old, but Jiao Fang made it difficult for him to stand down.
"I won't mention the past. I know that there are some fights in the court. There have been fights as long as there are people in the dynasties. However, the court still has to deal with the business first. The weather is bitter and cold, and the soldiers are not easy. They are all waiting for the court to pay rewards. . Even if we continue to fight, we must not forget them. Not only the surviving heroes must be remembered, but the dead soldiers must also be remembered by the court. The Ministry of War must be careful about this matter, Jiefu,"
"Wei Chen is here."
"It happened suddenly, and there are many people who need to be rewarded and pensioned. So you can temporarily take the title of Minister of the Ministry of War and assist the Grand Sima Zuo to find out the matter as soon as possible. You must have a list, the amount of the reward (pension), the basis and The total amount of money to be issued must be comprehensive and detailed, and no one is missed or missed.”
Wang Chang and Yang Tinghe came out to receive the order.
However, although they are asked to take responsibility, it is still up to the emperor to decide how to reward some major generals, such as Yang Yiqing.
Zhu Houzhao held the dragon chair and continued: "The imperial court cannot allow the bleeding and desperate border officers to be wronged. The first and most important thing to do is Yang Yingning. He is already the chief commander of the three sides. He is the largest official in the northwest, and he holds the position In less than a year, we must discuss his promotion carefully and seriously. I am not afraid of the high official position, but I am afraid that the officials of the Ming Dynasty will not be able to make the merit of the promotion."
Liu Jian kept his head down and said nothing. The emperor prioritized rewarding the soldiers and ignored Fu Tao and his other matters... I don't know what the purpose was. In fact, if you don’t say it, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
Everyone knows that now that Ningxia has won, the northwest army's power has been greatly shaken, and the people's hearts in the world have been shaken. At this time, they want to repeat the trick and take back the country. Can this be stopped?
This emperor of the Ming Dynasty vowed to take the Ming Dynasty to that misty distance.

It’s the New Year~.
