Daming heir

After worshiping at the Ancestral Temple, Prince Zhu Biao came to Longwan Pier after leaving the palace. The ceremony was very simple.

Even in terms of his status as the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said to be simple.

With only one eunuch who was used to his duties, and a team of forbidden soldiers, there was nothing else to do.

But wherever Zhu Biao went, the majesty of the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty was spread.

His figure just appeared at Waijinchuan Gate.

All the officials and soldiers on Longwan Pier turned around.

Ren Hengtai and others, who were originally standing at the front of the pier, waiting for the Northern Expedition army to cross the river by boat, had already walked to the city gate under the leadership of Qin King Zhu Ping.

"Big brother."

"The ministers are waiting to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Everyone clasped their fists and bowed.

Zhu Biao is a very qualified, even perfect, prince.

As the next generation heir to the empire, he has a perfect political structure and has always been impartial.In addition to being proficient in Wen Tao, he is also well versed in martial arts.Moreover, rewards and punishments are clear, with thunderous means and spring breeze blowing on the face.

No one would think that the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty was not qualified.

Zhu Biao got off the horse, put one hand behind his back, put the other hand in front of him, rubbed his thumb on his index finger, and slowly turned the ring finger.

With a smile on his face, he spoke like the spring breeze and drizzle in March: "Get up, I went to worship alone. I was delayed for a while, and I saw that the Northern Expedition Army was about to come in. Let's go ahead and wait. Come on, let’s take a look at our Ming Dynasty’s majestic sons.”

"The minister waits for orders."

Zhu Ming followed Zhu Biao with a smile on his face, while Ren Hengtai and He Jin led the officials to make way.

Li Jinglong and Chang Sheng, as the living princes of the Ming Dynasty, naturally followed Zhu Ping closely beside the prince.

Today, all officials in Beijing are basically at Longwan Wharf.

Except for a certain governor-general of Zhili who stayed at the city gate to control the overall situation and maintain security in the capital but had not yet taken up his post.

Zhu Biao was obviously very familiar with this situation, and he calmly walked out of the road cleared by the officials.

With every step he took, the officials on both sides who had been bending down respectfully straightened up.

The power of the Ming Crown Prince is like this.

Arrive at the front of the pier.

Zhu Biao also put one hand on his hips and pointed with the other hand in front of the river, which was like an endless warship crossing the river.

"came back."

"They're all back."

The prince looked a little more relieved and muttered softly.

Zhu Xi looked at the boss's expression from the side, stepped forward and whispered: "The news from the front, the rules set by Brother Hei are that the soldiers returning to Beijing must board the ship first, cross the river first, and disembark first. He brought Crossing the river with the last boatload of corpses of fallen soldiers.”

Zhu Biao was a little surprised and took another serious look at the fleet of ships that began to drop sails on the river and slowly sailed towards the pier at the dock.

Under Zhu Ming's smiling gaze, Zhu Biao let out a long sigh, and then the smile gradually appeared on his face.

"After all, I have really grown up and know what to do."

Zhu Feng snorted and couldn't help but echoed: "Although the success of this Northern Expedition lies with all parties, the soldiers faced life and death. The third, fourth and thirteenth children have never returned to Beijing and still stay in Outside the pass. Brother Xi naturally understands that the reason why I am waiting here today is to praise the soldiers who have returned."

Zhu Biao smiled: "That's true. He's just a kid, so he won't let me come to greet him."

aside.

Ren Hengtai, who entered the cabinet from the Minister of Rites and became the chief minister of the current cabinet, took a step forward and stood in front of Zhu Biao.

"Your Highness, the Governor's Office has cleared out all the military camps in the West City. Once the soldiers have entered the city, they can go there to rest and recuperate temporarily. Generals with more than [-] households and less than [-] households in the army will be placed in the right guard camp of the government to rest. Army Generals with a household of over [-] people will rest in the Yulin Youwei camp. During the court meeting, they will enter the palace from Xihua Gate and participate in the court meeting."

These are all expected, and there is no need for Zhu Biao or Zhu Yuanzhang to arrange it personally. The DPRK will naturally handle it according to the usual rules.

First, it was to separate the officers and soldiers who had just returned from the generals, with the intention of disarming themselves.Secondly, it is to take care of the generals who will participate in the reward meeting at the next day, so that they can rest nearby.

Zhu Biao said: "Tell Zou Xueyu again that there must be no shortage of drinks on the dock today. Each person has a bowl of wine to honor these soldiers.

In each camp, each person is given three bowls of wine tonight and can leave the camp after noon tomorrow. No one can violate this.

In addition, I can't help but eat. I ordered the Si Yamen to prepare the manpower. I will just feed these meritorious soldiers tonight for the orphans and Your Majesty. "

Ren Hengtai was all smiles.

The nuisance of the people on the grassland for thousands of years was finally eliminated by the Ming Dynasty today. Even though he was the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty cabinet, he could not hide his joy.

"These have been arranged, please rest assured, Your Highness."

clang clang clang.

Bang sounds were heard on the warship.

The horn is whining.

This is a signal that the ship is about to dock.

On the Longwan Pier, countless people's expressions suddenly condensed, and they looked at the huge warship as high as Mount Tai with excited expressions.

This is a day where everyone is united and happy.

Bang.

When the first warship slowly sailed into the trestle, the ship's side hit the shore with a dull sound. Immediately, a team of dock servants who had been waiting for a long time came forward on the pier and tied the ropes lowered from the warship to the trestle.

far away.

In the open space on both sides of the pier.

Each has a row of the latest artillery arranged neatly, with the muzzles facing the river and pointing diagonally towards the sky.

When the warship lowered the ramp and opened the hatch.

On the pier, artillery fired.

A total of 190 eight artillery pieces were ignited at the same time, and a huge roar broke out at the same time, and a sound was heard in the sky.

190 Eight artillery pieces, it seems like there is only one artillery piece.

The generals of the firearms battalion counted silently in their hearts, waving the small flags in their hands at every node.

The cannons sounded in an orderly manner at exactly the same intervals.

solemn.

solemn.

The grandeur of the country is clearly evident at this moment.

"This is all free money!"

Upstairs at the city gate, Zou Xueyu looked at the thick smoke rising on both sides of the pier and muttered in a low voice.

Except that they are not loaded with shells, these artillery pieces are real things. Every time they are fired, they are paid for with a lot of money.

however.

A smile gradually appeared on Zou Xueyu's face, and he slapped his hands hard on the wall in front of him.

"It would be great if the cannon fire lasted day and night!"

On the side, Tongzhi, who was about to take over as the prefect of Yingtian after Zou Xueyu was promoted to the governor-general of Zhili, had a silent smile on his face.

If it is true as Fu Zun said, I am afraid that from now on, only the Daming family will be left in this world.

Obviously.

The soldiers returning from the army did not expect that the court would have such a grand welcoming ceremony.

When they saw the flag and guard of honor of the Crown Prince erected on the pier, the blood in their hearts surged.

And when the big red robes came into view, the blood of the officers and soldiers who stepped off the warship burst into tears.

Warships entered the pier one after another, put the soldiers on board down to the pier, and then quickly drove out of the pier to facilitate the ships behind them to enter the pier.

The officers and soldiers who disembarked from the ship, under the leadership of their respective battalion lieutenant generals, quickly organized their troops on the pier and formed military formations.

"..."

"Don't you mean no clothes?"

"Same clothes as my son."

"The king raised his troops."

"Repair my armor."

"Walk with the child!"

The music class, hosted by the Ministry of Etiquette and hosted by the Department of Education, brought together the best and most popular girls, with slender waists, fairy-like skirts and clothes, and melodious singing voices.

"What a magnificent Ming Dynasty!"

far away.

Outside the pier, there was a roar from the people watching.

Immediately afterwards, the people became excited.

"Long live Daming!"

"The Ming Dynasty is mighty!" In an instant, the crowd at Longwan Pier was cheering and applauding.

On the surface of the river.

Under the last raised sail.

At the bow of the ship, Zhu Yunxi was dressed in drag, looking particularly heroic.

Zhu Gaochi stood behind him silently, looking at the fleet of ships that continued to enter Longwan Pier, put down the officers and soldiers, and then slowly sailed out of the terminal.

"It seems very lively."

Zhu Gaochi looked at the smoke spreading in the air on the other side and the crowd of onlookers around the pier with a smile.

"This is a reward."

Zhu Yunxi spoke softly, with a calm expression.

"Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Central Plains has always been invaded by nomads. When the country is in turmoil, the nomads move south and bring chaos. Only when the country is prosperous and accumulated over many generations can we plan to expand northward.

It goes round and round, like a tarsal worm.

I set off for the northern expedition with sharp weapons and great ambitions, but without these soldiers who risked their lives, relying on you and me, would it be possible to clear the grassland?

They defeated the Tatars and cleared the steppe.Today, Ying Tiancheng only cheers for them.

The deceased will be taken home by his parents. "

Zhu Gaochi put away the smile on his face.

After a great victory in the Northern Expedition, it won't take long for the grassland to be completely owned by the Ming Dynasty.

But he couldn't be happy anymore.

The people of the Central Plains have spent thousands of years and sacrificed the lives of generations of sons and daughters, and only today has the Ming Dynasty put an end to this worry.

There is nothing to be happy or proud of.

The champion Hou Feng Lang Ju Xu ignited the Central Plains people's ambition to look north.

At present, it is just that ambition that will become the freedom of Zongma Prairie.

"The Ming Dynasty still has a long way to go, and it is not just you and me who can control everything in this world."

Zhu Yunxi spoke again, holding his hands gently on the railing of the ship's bow.

The sea troubles are gone, the South has been conquered, and the country has no shortage of food and grass, as well as gold and silver.

Now, the biggest enemy in the north, and the biggest danger in the future, have all been dealt with.

Nowadays, in China, the New Deal is also being promoted layer by layer.

A good sign of prosperity.

but.

But Ming Dynasty still has more things to do.

after all.

The country has become strong, but it does not mean that the people under its rule have become rich at the same time.

Using the power of the country to balance society and make people rich is what Zhu Yunxi has always wanted to do.

now.

Ming Dynasty is looking around, and it has reached a time when it is no longer invincible.

Next, it is time to reorganize the pattern of the Central Plains, so that the people who face the loess and back to the sky can truly live a happy life and have no worries about food and clothing.

"You have to do a good job in getting the tax office to accept the reform."

Zhu Yunxi thought for a while, but said without taking his eyes away.

Zhu Gaochi, who was beside him, immediately widened his eyes. He was not angry or dissatisfied that the tax office under his control was going to undergo reforms, and his doubts were only half-doubts.

The little fat man's face was full of joy.

The tax office needs to be reformed!

Then I don’t have to go to the Yamen every day to work!
Can I just find a place and lie down peacefully?
But the next second.

Zhu Yunxi's voice reached his ears again, shattering all Xiaopang's illusions.

"I should give you an extra burden."

If Yangjiang could understand people's thoughts, he would have understood how painful he was in his heart at this moment.

Zhu Gaochi listened to what Zhu Yunxi said and asked loudly in his heart.

If he hadn't been afraid of death, he would have jumped into the river flowing eastward by now.

clang clang clang.

Woo woo woo.

The last warship sailed out from the riverside ferry terminal in Chuzhou Prefecture, Jiangbei Province, and finally sailed into the Longwan Pier under Yingtian City among countless warships anchored on the river.

The people in the Jiaofang Division stopped playing music, and those wonderful girls also stopped singing.

On the dock, it suddenly became silent.

There are only a few breezes blowing on the river that has been flowing eastward for countless years.

The wind blew the Ming Dynasty dragon flag.

Make a muffled sound.

Zhu Biao, who was originally sitting on the chair, slowly stood up.

Most of the soldiers from the Northern Expedition who disembarked from the ship were taken into the city after drinking the wine prepared by the court, leaving only more than [-] soldiers and horses arrayed at the dock.

Along with the treasure ship loaded with the skeletons of fallen soldiers, it docked on the trestle.

The soldiers arrayed at the dock immediately turned around in unison.

"The soul is back!"

Ren Hengtai, a former minister of the Ministry of Rites, stood on one side with a solemn expression, raised his head slightly, and shouted loudly.

"The soul is back!"

"Return of the soul..."

On the pier, thousands of people shouted in unison.

The hatch slowly opened with a creaking sound and landed on the trestle.

What caught everyone's sight was the warehouse full of silent little boxes.

Rows and rows, rows and rows, like the officers and soldiers arrayed on the pier outside.

"welcome."

Ren Hengtai shouted again.

On the dock, officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard immediately lined up and walked into the cabin.

Each silent little box was held in the hands of the emperor's soldiers and slowly walked out of the warship.

At this moment, no one made a sound.

No one will find such waiting boring.

Time is passing by little by little.

Until the more than ten thousand small boxes were welcomed out of the cabin and onto the dock.

Ren Hengtai took another step forward.

"The Emperor's decree: Grant the returning officers and soldiers nine cannons, six ranks of meritorious service officers, Wu Ai school captains, and burial in the mausoleum of meritorious officials. The heirs who join the army will be awarded the title of chief flag officer for the first time."

Following the loud voice of the chief minister of the cabinet, a total of 190 eight artillery pieces on the pier fired nine times.

Zhu Yunxi finally got off the warship.

His expression was serious.

The artillery fired nine times, and the six-level martial arts, martial arts, and burial mausoleum that had not existed before were added. From now on, it will probably become the highest pension standard for ordinary soldiers in the Ming army who are killed in battle.

Zhu Yunxi took over a flag sent by Zhu Gaochi.

That was the flag of the Northern Expedition Army.

Write a letter with the word "Zhengbei".

Today, the flag is somewhat worn.

Zhu Yunxi held the flag and walked step by step through the small boxes held in the hands of the emperor's soldiers.

At last.

He was already holding a flag and walked up to the solemn-looking Crown Prince Zhu Biao.
