Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 48 - Chapter 048
On March [-], Naierbuhua surrendered under Yan Wang Zhudi's hard and soft tactics. Tens of thousands of his troops and hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep, camels and horses were all captured.

King Yan's class returned to camp.

Along the way, because of the victorious battle, most of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were quite excited, and only a few soldiers whose relatives and friends died in the battle were sad for a while when there was no one around.

In Zhen Wu's general banner, five people also died in battle. After Zhen Wu expressed his grief, he looked up at the blue sky of the grassland and sighed long.

He has to learn to adapt to death, not only to be indifferent to the death of the enemy, but also to adapt to the death of the soldiers around him, and to learn to dare to face his own death.

Living to death is the best mentality for a soldier.

"Zhen Baihu is grateful for the souls of his soldiers returning to their hometowns. Have you ever thought about the souls of the dead under his sword?" At some point, Naier Buhua came to Zhen Wu's side.

Zhen Wu glanced sideways, then withdrew his gaze.

This guy was very active along the way, seeking out relationships and friendships everywhere, expressing his admiration for King Yan in public from time to time, Zhen Wu initially lamented this guy's strong adaptability, but later heard from Tan Yuan that this guy surrendered before Over Daming, this made Zhen Wule complain, but he didn't expect to be a job-hopping expert.

Seeing that Zhen Wu was silent, Nai'er Buhua sighed and said, "Bite Zeng also a young man, I'm afraid he never thought about it, one day he will die under the sword of a young man with the same style."

This sentence made Zhen Wu look sideways, Zhen Wu smiled and said: "The general trend is my Da Ming, even if he is a genius, but he goes against the trend, how can he retreat completely? There are tens of thousands of soldiers from the Ming Dynasty taking his life, so why didn't your excellency see this and just follow the trend."

Surprise flashed in Naier Buhua's eyes. He thought that the young man who killed and bit him was just a brave and reckless man, but he never thought that he would have such insight. Naier Buhua took two deep glances at Zhen Wu.

"Baihu Zhen, good advice." After speaking, Naier Buhua sighed, shook her head and walked away.

Zhen Wu looked at Naier Buhua's back, and frowned. He couldn't understand the meaning of Naier Buhua's move. Could it be that he came here to see himself for a bit of death?
Or do you want to make friends and climb onto him?

The problem is that he has nothing to climb.

Could it be that there are two minds?
In the next few days, Zhen Wu deliberately observed Naier Buhua more, but there was nothing unusual about Naier Buhua, not only that, but judging from Naier Buhua's various actions, it is not unreasonable to say that he is loyal to Daming .

In this way, Zhen Wu could only forget about this matter.

Immediately afterwards, as time passed, as the army got closer and closer to the camp, Zhen Wu began to focus more and more on the rewards he was about to receive.

He once went deep into the grassland, explored Naierbuhuabu's location, and then bit him again. Putting these two credits together, it shouldn't be a big problem to be promoted to a hundred households.

However, Zhen Wu also secretly looked forward to it, wondering if the reward would give him a big surprise.

……

After the army came back, they directly stationed in the Gubeikou camp. Because the reward had not yet arrived, the army could not go back to each guard for the time being, and had to wait for the imperial court's instructions.

Before Zhu Di returned to the camp, he had already dispatched someone to report the results of the Northern Expedition to the imperial court, so it would not take long for the imperial court's instructions to come down.

During the few days of waiting, the army did not need to practice, and everyone was happy and relaxed. Zhen Wu and his familiar comrades in the army gathered to chat with each other from time to time, but every time the topic would be about Zhen Wu, these people knew that this Rewards are absolutely indispensable for Zhen Wu, so it is inevitable to be envious and joking.

Zhu Di didn't need to stay in the camp all the time, he went straight to his Yanwang Mansion with his personal guards that day.

During this trip to the Northern Expedition, Zhu Di can be said to have realized his dream for many years, and he walked with trepidation. When he saw his wife and children, the smile on his face could not be stopped for a while, and he burst out laughing.

Everyone in the palace had received the letter long ago, knowing that Zhu Di had won the battle, and as Zhu Di's closest friends, they naturally knew what Zhu Di was thinking, so when they saw Zhu Di laughing, they were all very happy.

Several children even stepped forward to pester Zhu Di, wanting to hear Zhu Di talk about the process this time.

In the past, Zhu Di might have found it annoying, but today, Zhu Di pulled out a chair and sat down, gathered a group of his sons and daughters together, and started talking endlessly.

This lecture lasted for an hour, during which the children's surprise voices were heard, which made Zhu Di's vanity almost full.

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang received the battle report from Beiping Kuaima. In the main hall, in front of all the officials, he was unabashedly overjoyed, and even couldn't help but praise: "The one who cleared the desert, the king of Yan, I have no worries about going north."

All the ministers congratulate.

For the first time, Zhu Laosi used his military exploits to refresh these people's understanding of him.

Only Lan Yu curled her lips in disdain, and couldn't help but contemptuously in her heart, thinking: "With me and the prince here, no matter how much you dance around, you will only be Zhu Xiaosi."

……

A few days later, King Yan received Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, as well as rewards for those who made contributions to the Northern Expedition.

First of all, Naier Buhua and other main figures need to send troops to Nanjing to meet them. Secondly, Naer Buhua and other tribes are dispersed and assigned to various guards. As for the harvesting of livestock and other tools, Zhu Di independently arranges them.

Zhu Di had a smile on his face. He was very satisfied with this alone. He loved cavalry since he was a child. With Zhu Yuanzhang's instruction, he would be sorry for this instruction if he didn't expand his guard army by seven or eight thousand cavalry.

Afterwards, Zhu Di opened the reward.

Zhu Di read line by line, looked at, and suddenly frowned.

He saw that Zhen Wu's rewards were only to be promoted to a hundred households, to be a lieutenant of Zhaoxin, and to be able to share some rewards for the three armies, and nothing else.

Zhu Di tapped his fingers on the table, sighed, and then continued to read.

On the second day, Zhu Di returned to the camp, and immediately conveyed the rewards. In less than half an hour, thousands of soldiers in the entire camp knew everything.

All of them immediately beamed with joy.

Even those who haven't been promoted can get a little reward silver.

After Zhen Wu got the news, he was stunned, saying that he was not disappointed was a bit false, he himself had secretly thought about whether he would be promoted two levels in a row, and now his hopes have failed, and he is a bit unwilling, but it's okay, at least it's expected There are no accidents in the hundreds of households.

But in comparison, Zhang Wu was promoted to the trial hundred households, Xue Lu was promoted to the general banner, and he was promoted from the trial hundred households to the hundred households. The rewards this time are really not much better than others.

That is to say, the reward silver can be divided more.

But counting his credit, it is obviously much higher than others.

Seeing this, Zhang Wu and Xue Lu understood the situation and suppressed the joy in their hearts.

After Zhen Wu saw it, he smiled at the two of them and said, "Why, isn't it worth having fun with you two?"

"Comparing your achievements, it's a bit unfair to you..." Xue Lu said.

"Bullshit, there's nothing fair or unfair. It's not so easy to go up two levels in a row. Besides, I won't reward you more than you this time. It's more than 100 taels, a huge sum of money."

Zhen Wu also wanted to understand at this time, the future will last forever, don't worry, besides, the credit is not cleared one by one, it is recorded in the file, and it will be easier to be promoted after making meritorious service in the future.

Moreover, Baihu, it is already very good for a hereditary sixth-rank military officer who is serious and honest, and is also awarded the Sanjie Zhaoxin Captain. In the future, even if he dies and has no children, the third child can attack him.

Life is always better than ever.

Seeing that Zhen Wu was really relieved, Zhang Wu laughed, and when he finished laughing, he remembered something and asked Zhen Wu, "If that's the case, do you still treat me?"

Zhen Wu was stunned for a moment.

He looked at Zhang Wu's bewildered expression, and said angrily, "Do you think it's a good time to bring up this matter now?"

Zhang Wu was confused.

Reminding others to invite you to dinner, does this matter still need time?
