The common people, businessmen, scholars, women and children in the capital all saw the carloads of heads and a horrifying scene. Even the prostitutes who greeted Zhang Fu's army forgot to scatter the petals in their baskets, and their beautiful faces were pale.
This is war, the war of the dead.
This is military merit, the military merit of killing the enemy.
This is Daming, the mighty sergeant!
The Imperial Academy officers looked at the scene in front of them and felt a little uncomfortable, but none of them ran away. Their own soldiers had killed the enemy for thousands of miles, and now that they had returned from the war and sacrificed the enemy's head, what was there to be afraid of?
These horrors are not worthy of becoming the nightmare of the people of the Ming Dynasty, because behind everyone stands a tyrannical sergeant of the Ming Dynasty!
Zhang Fu's majestic gaze swept across the crowd and he couldn't help but nodded.
The people of the Ming Dynasty were still good. Most of them did not become timid because of this scene. More people looked at him with awe, not teasing, and respect, not contempt.
Tie Xuan couldn't help but laugh and said to Zhang Fu: "Look, the Ming Dynasty is not weak to the Song Dynasty, and the three battalions are not superior to the Fourth Army."
Zhang Fu nodded repeatedly.
Xu Huizu reached out and asked the sergeant to lead the horse over. He planned to ride directly from the city wall to the small training ground. He looked at Xie Jin and others and said: "The battle in Annan made the three major battalions famous. Now Zhang Fu is mentioning thieves again." The head enters the capital in front, the iron cavalry is powerful and powerful, and it has the style of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Let's go back to the small training ground, I'm afraid the emperor will be impatient."
Small teaching center, Gaocai Building.
Zhu Yunwen waited quietly until the water in the tea bowl showed slight ripples, indicating that the army was approaching.
Xie Jin, Xu Huizu and others returned, reported to Zhu Yunwen, and then sat on the right side. Zhu Di, Zhu Quan, Zhu Zhi and other vassal kings sat on the left side. Concubine Ning, Concubine Shu and others also walked out of the palace and sat in the attic on the left side behind the colorful building.
This was the highest standard of courtesy in the Ming Dynasty, and the highest respect that Zhu Yunwen paid to Zhang Fu and all the soldiers.
When Zhang Fu rode his horse slowly into the small teaching ground, Empress Dowager Lu, Ma Enhui and others stood up together with the vassal kings and ministers and saluted Zhang Fu and the Beijing army.
At this moment, Zhu Yunwen was the only one sitting upright.
These people worked hard for the Ming Dynasty and opened up new territories. They deserve the respect of the powerful people of the Ming Dynasty and everyone.
Zhu Yunwen watched the army pulling the carriage of Hu Jiyou and others to the front, and saw the carriages of people lined up in front of the colorful building. He smelled the fishy smell and couldn't help but feel a little afraid in his heart.
Although I have seen many bloody scenes in later generations and watched movies and TV shows where blood and flesh are everywhere on the battlefield, the impact on the screen and in reality are completely different things!
Those heads were hideous and terrifying, and even the smell was enough to make people retching. What hit their faces was the breath of death, as if they had fallen from the human world to hell, between the heads and the view.
My heart suddenly felt hot!
Zhu Yunwen clenched his fists, suppressing the discomfort in his heart, and looked at Xie Jin.
Xie Jin stood in front of the building, with a solemn expression on his face, and unfolded his decree: "Pardon said: All officers and men have fought for the country. After the Anan incident, the king's generals have dispatched troops, captured the enemy chiefs, and returned to my homeland. I now listen to your order - remove your armor!"
"Remove armor!"
A group of etiquette officials shouted at the top of their lungs.
Then the sound of drums started louder, and hundreds of actors began to sing "Getting out of the chariot": "I got out of my chariot and drove it there. From the place of the emperor, I came. When I called my servant, I came. The king has many things to do. It’s difficult, it’s very thorny...”
Listening to the ancient and distant "Come out of the Car", eighteen people including Zhang Fu, Tie Xuan, Yu Rang, Yu Tongyuan, Yuan Yue, Yang Rong, Yang Pu and Cheng Kuan dismounted.
A chamberlain has already stepped forward to help the eighteen people remove their armor.
Queen Ma Enhui clapped her hands, and the palace maids in costumes slowly left with the trays. When the palace ladies arrived, the chamberlain had just finished removing their armor. On the tray, there were crowns, clothes, clothes, boots, jade belts and wat boards. The chamberlain's help Put him into new clothes.
Such treatment cannot be enjoyed except for great victory.
Zhang Fu held a wat tablet in his hand, stepped forward and bowed, and shouted loudly: "My lord, Zhang Fu! I have been ordered by the emperor to conquer the Hu family and his son in Annan. Now the enemy chief has been escorted to the capital, and he is here to pay the order!"
Zhu Yunwen stood up, stretched out his hand and said: "I love you for your hard work, please get up!"
Zhang Fu took out the sword and seal, put them on the tray of the chamberlain, and then reported: "The Hu family in Annan and his son killed all the Chen family. I originally wanted to choose someone from the Chen family to reestablish the Chen family, but then Chen Jikuo and others were killed by bandits, and the Chen clan was destroyed. In addition, the people of Annan were eager to join the Ming Dynasty and hoped that the world would be peaceful for a long time. In compliance with the public opinion, I submitted a letter and was ordered to pacify the place and rectify Jiaozhi County."
"Since the October expedition, the entire territory of Annan was pacified within two months. Annan generals Fan Yuangui and Zhu Bingzhong were awarded the heads. Hu Jiyao and his son were finally captured. The heads of the rebels and those who invaded our Ming territory are all here. Please also ask Your Majesty inspects it!"
Zhu Yunwen glanced at the heads and vehicles. With so many heads, there must be at least three thousand people.
"I have tested it. I love your hard work."
Zhu Yunwen was solemn, then looked at Hu Jiya, who was in a miserable state in the prison car, and asked: "Hu Jiya, do you know your guilt?"
Hu Ji Yao looked at Zhu Yunwen feebly. The emperor in front of him was so young, even younger than his own son, but it was this man who sent an army to defeat him and destroy everything.
"I don't know the crime! Annan's affairs are not your Ming Dynasty's turn to have the final say! Zhu Yunwen, remember, Annan will never surrender to the Ming Dynasty. You will fall into the swamp and be firmly dragged to hell. You will Don’t die a good death!”
Hu Jima shouted at the top of his lungs with all his strength.
Zhu Yunwen laughed loudly and said to Hu Ji Yao: "The people of Annan requested the attachment, and the Ming Dynasty followed the will of the people. What's wrong with it? Hu Ji Yao, you are wrong. You should not provoke the Ming Dynasty. King Yan, will He will be taken to the sect’s mansion and executed publicly another day!”
Although Zhu Di did not manage the clan mansion, who made him senior? All the kings in the world are under the control of the Zongren Mansion. After all, Hu Jishao is a king and should not be sent to the Ministry of Punishment.
Zhu Di laughed loudly and ordered his father and son to be sent to the clan mansion.
Zhang Fu saw that Hu Jiyou and others were taken away, and reported again: "When I led the troops to the expedition, there was a severe drought in Fengyang and a severe flood in western Zhejiang, and the people suffered. In order to replenish the national treasury and provide relief to the people, I came to the palace of Shenglong City in Annan. We seized many rare treasures from the Thanh Hoa Palace and presented them to His Majesty!"
A long list, starting with twenty-eight pounds of bull gold, followed by a large amount of silver, followed by pearls, jade, tortoiseshell, coral, fine wood...
Although the merchants took away many things, the treasures in the palace were not something that the merchants were qualified to touch. Zhang Fu led his men to conquer a country, and it would be unjustifiable without any trophies. Now that he is good, it is enough to show off that he is brought to the capital.
Xia Yuanji sounded very comfortable. Such a lot of wealth can do many things. The New Army Strategy can be expanded in the coming year. At this rate, the New Army Strategy will cover the entire army in less than five years.
Ma Enhui couldn't help but smile and frown when she heard so many treasures. Although the harem is very rich now, most of the money has been misappropriated.
The businessman spent 10 million taels to buy Annan's wealth. In fact, he only paid 5 million taels. The remaining five million taels came from the Royal Central Bank, which contained more than one million taels of silver for the harem and many years of savings. They have all invested in it. If it weren't for the fact that they still control a certain business, they probably wouldn't be able to pay the reward on New Year's Day.
Now that Zhang Fu has brought so much wealth, the harem can finally ease its dilemma.
Zhu Yunwen was very satisfied, but considering that the sergeants were tired, he did not intend to let the etiquette officer read out all the lists bit by bit, and shouted to the soldiers: "You have returned victoriously. I have thought of countless words to praise you, but when I see you, I I just want to say one thing: You are good men of Ming Dynasty!"
A good man from Ming Dynasty!
When the soldiers heard this, their eyes became hot, and mountains of corpses and seas of blood crawled out. Winning this sentence is enough!
Straighten your chest and hold your head high!
"There will be a big banquet in the army for three days. After three days, the court will discuss your merits and reward you!"
Zhu Yunwen spoke.
The soldiers were very happy. They went on an expedition in July last year and came back more than three months ago. In more than ten months, they were either marching or fighting, and rarely had a good rest. Now that they are back in the capital, they are back in the safest place. Naturally, they have to Have a good celebration!
Zhu Yunwen left, and they couldn't have enough fun staying here. However, Xie Jin, Xu Huizu and others let go, either looking for Zhang Fu or Tie Xuan and others. They insisted on drinking together and chatting about the details of the Annan War. .
Tie Xuan did not dare to drink too much. He drank a few sips with everyone and quickly returned to the Ministry of War. At the same time, he also found Xu Kai, the governor of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion, and Tang Buping from the Security Bureau, for one thing:
Check the military merit book.
Considering that military merit is related to the rewards and promotions of sergeants, there is no room for sloppiness. In order to prevent anyone from engaging in malpractice for personal gain and taking credit for the sergeants' merits, there were three military merit books for the Battle of Annan, one for the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army, one for the Ministry of War, and one for the Security Bureau.
But if there are differences, you must check them in depth.
When the court discusses merit and rewards, these three military merit books are the key.
Who killed how many enemies, who was the first to climb the city, who killed the general, how many military merits and levels he should be promoted to. All these must be calculated clearly within three days and reported to the cabinet and the emperor.
All the wealth of Nan Zheng was sent to the harem, and Zhu Yunwen was not polite and asked Ma Enhui, Ning Fei and others to select some treasures first, and then left one hundred thousand taels, and the other wealth worth at least two million was all allocated to the households. department.
After more than three years of operation, the palace industry has formed a large scale. The annual income has already been self-sufficient, and there is still a lot of surplus. There is no use keeping so much money in the harem. It is better to hand it over to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Spend the money.
Infrastructure construction must be accelerated. Although the speed of concrete roads is very fast, it still cannot meet Zhu Yunwen's requirements. In addition to the hidden dangers in the northwest, Zhu Yunwen decided to send more manpower again this year to build concrete roads from Peiping to Datong as soon as possible, and then from there. Datong then cultivated to Gansu.
This is an ambitious infrastructure plan, and it is also a waste of money. Because some places are very desolate, concrete materials need to be supplied from behind. In addition, some areas are not suitable for direct laying of concrete roads, and a roadbed must be dug deep. The project The quantity is no small matter.
