Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

A great victory in Zhuxian Town, a great victory in Zhuxian Town.

The city of Beijing was filled with cries of victory, which were like a tonic, stirring up the stagnant people's hearts and making the whole capital boil.

I don’t even remember how long it has been. The well-equipped officers and soldiers were either defeated or lost important towns and cities. People have become numb. A great victory like the one in Zhuxian Town is not only brilliant, it is not an exaggeration to say it is a miracle.

People rushed around to celebrate, and wealthy families even decorated the festival with lanterns, slaughtered chickens and sheep and held banquets, and then invited relatives and friends over to drink and celebrate, making it even more grand and lively than the Spring Festival.

When some tragic details of the battle leaked out from the mouths of some big shots, people started talking more lively. Almost everyone was shocked by the fierce battle of the little-known Royal First Regiment. The 1st Royal Regiment took great interest.

Friends gatherings, teahouses, taverns, etc. are all talking about the great victory in Zhuxian Town, and what is most talked about is the battle deeds of the Royal First Regiment. The leader Xu Yu has also officially entered people's field of vision, and even the red house of the brothel The girls no longer talked about the wind and the moon. Most of the topics were focused on the battle in Zhuxian Town, and they became quite interested in the young and handsome Captain Xu.

In the brothels of the late Ming Dynasty, I dare not say that most of the prostitutes had a chivalrous heart, but the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai were definitely the representatives. They all had a chivalrous heart and worshiped heroes. It was also natural for the girls to become curious and interested in the young and handsome Xu Yu. Not surprising.

This inquiry really shocked many people. Xu Yu was actually the descendant of Zhongshan King Xu Da, the first of the six founding kings of the Ming Dynasty. Although his family was in decline, he was still a general's family, and the Ming Dynasty was noble.

It doesn’t matter that he is young and handsome, he still holds a high position, holds military power, and is favored by the emperor. The most important thing is that he has not married a wife. The real gold diamond Wang Laowu, not to mention the red girls in the brothel, are just those scholarly families. Thirdly, the rich ladies of the aristocratic families or official families are all tempted.

According to legend, the matchmakers who came to propose marriages broke down the threshold of Xu's family. Although Xu's mother was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear, she was also very calm and had further thoughts in mind.

If you marry a wealthy family member or a rich lady from an official family, the Xu family will immediately become rich and their living conditions will immediately improve. But will marrying those powerful family members cause the emperor's suspicion?

Xu's mother thought further for her son's future and to revitalize the Xu family. Therefore, she declined all those who came to propose marriage on the grounds that her son was busy fighting in the war. She was polite and considerate, giving everyone face, and also allowing them to marry each other. One can't fault it.

The strong combat power displayed by the Royal First Regiment also made many people think about it. They wanted to add their sons, nephews, etc. to the army, and then get some military merit and so on, so that they could become officials in the future.

However, after asking around, everyone gave up this idea. The Royal First Regiment was the emperor's personal army established with the emperor's own money. The soldiers recruited were all children of poor peasant families, and the training was very strict, and even appeared during the training. Certain casualties.

Although the salary and pensions in the army are high, they just want their precious sons and nephews to do military merit and gain qualifications, rather than die. Besides, the training is so strict that it is almost cruel. My precious son and nephew couldn’t handle it, so I simply stopped playing.

The great victory in Zhuxian Town made Lan Fang, Chang Buzhou and Wu Buwei both happy and stimulated. What they were happy about was that the second child, Xu Yu, had made a great contribution. As a Jiujiu brother, they had more face.

But they were greatly stimulated by this, and they just wanted to rush to the battlefield immediately, command the troops to fight, achieve outstanding military exploits, and honor their ancestors. However, without the emperor's imperial edict, they could immerse themselves in training the troops and patiently wait for the imperial edict to go to war.

When Zhu Youjian read the victory report sent to the palace, he was also full of surprises. He did not expect that Xu Yu's first battle was so large in scale and so fierce. Moreover, it came at a critical moment when hundreds of thousands of troops were in danger and the situation was very unfavorable. Withstood the test.

He is worthy of being the young general I value, and worthy of being the first royal regiment that I spent a lot of money to build and spent countless efforts and energy on.

After a great victory, reporting and commending is the first step. Rewards are necessary, and they must be generous. However, this matter cannot be rushed. Just going through the procedures will take a while.

Rewards, in addition to promotions and titles, are monetary and material rewards. This time, Zhu Youjian planned to mix in the rewards from the first royal regiment to see if he could get through.

Of course it would be great if you don't have to dig into your own pockets, and the landlords don't have any surplus food.

Of course, this is also a test for him.
