Therefore, Xu Huizu stroked his chest with his right hand, and said excitedly: "The final general is willing to protect me forever!"

Xu Huizu's voice was very high-spirited, and he quickly got a response from a group of senior military officials.

The closest person to Xu Huizu was Zhu Song. Zhu Song rolled his eyes and suddenly roared:

"May I swear to my death to protect my Ming Dynasty, may I swear to my death to protect my Ming people, may I swear to my death to protect my Ming people! Da Ming is invincible!"

Zhu Song's loud voice was louder than the old cow's voice. This voice contained inner strength and yelled, but it stabbed a hornet's nest at once. The hundred thousand Ming soldiers who had just returned shouted in unison:

"I will swear to my death to protect the Ming Dynasty, protect the Ming Dynasty forever, protect the people of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is invincible, and the Ming Dynasty is long live!"

One hundred thousand soldiers roared in unison with red faces and thick necks, which changed the color of the whole world.

……

Two miles away, they had just arranged for a carriage and wanted to come out to see what the Ming court was doing with such a mobilizing crowd out of the city. The roar of fury, like thunder, just rang in their ears.

Jones, Weston and the others looked at each other, and felt the endless chill from the voice, like a little sheep entering the den of hungry wolves. Soaring to the sky!

"What, what is this sound?" Weston stared straight, "It seems to be about two miles ahead."

Scott said: "Your Excellency, I heard that the emperor of Ming Dynasty and a group of civil and military ministers built a small pavilion three miles away from Nanjing City two days ago. The sound seems to be in that direction, right?"

"Are you sure?" Jones opened his mouth wide and said, "If that's the case, did these Daming guys go to meet some kind of army early in the morning? By the way, more than two months ago, it seems that Daming sent out A large number of soldiers went to the land of Guangxi, and later the army advanced into Annan, could it be that they came back?"

"Your Excellency, this is Nanjing City, at the root of the imperial city." Weston stroked his chin and said, "In the entire Nanjing City, there are no more than 4 to [-] soldiers, but how can [-] to [-] soldiers make such a loud noise? "

"Then why are we going?" Jones said with a blank face, "Let's go, let's go back!"

"Your Excellency, are you not going?" Weston glanced at Scott and said hesitantly, "Didn't you say..."

"What else are you going to do?" Jones glared at Weston fiercely, and said, "Don't you think you are not angry enough?"

As soon as the words fell to the ground, Jones threw his hands and got on the horse, clamped the horse's belly, and returned to Nanjing City in no time.

……

In the small pavilion, all the people who came to welcome the army back to Chang'an, regardless of whether they were civil servants or military generals, after hearing the earth-shattering shouts, they all felt that the blood in their bodies seemed to be boiling crazily.

Among them, the ones with the most ups and downs are the generals assisted by Zhu Neng, Zhu Gaosui, Ji Gang and others.

These guys are all based on martial arts, and they feel uncomfortable when they don't move or move. Now listening to these [-] soldiers shouting so passionately, their blood is boiling, and they want to find someone to do it. Go up!

Hey, this fire can't go down, making these guys blush with excitement!

"Hahaha, today, let's order generals in this pavilion and award them!" With the heroic words of the soldiers ringing in his ears, Zhu Di took Xu Huizu's big hand and strode towards the small pavilion not far away.

Long before the return of the bandit army, Xu Huizu and the other high-ranking officers in the army had already listed and reported all the achievements of the bandit suppression in Guangxi and the battle against Annan.

After a collegial discussion by the top officials of the Ming Dynasty and the six departments, Xie Jin, Yang Rong and others drew up a detailed reward brochure, and the candidates on the reward brochure were all carefully considered.

And if the entrustment is simply divided according to the degree of credit, the credit of these people can be subdivided into four types.

Among them, there are a total of 13 people who have received first-class credit. Except for Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Yuexiu and other royal families, these people are all candidates for the earl. Yipin, and also the successor to the title of the Founding Duke.

With his meritorious qualifications, there is no seal at all, but his contribution is so great this time, if Zhu Di does not reward him, I am afraid that the soldiers who went to Guangxi and Annan this time will complain.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Zhu Di bestowed Xu Huizu as a young master of the crown prince, granted him the title of Shangzhu Kingdom, and rewarded him with ten thousand taels of gold, six hundred pieces of silk, and ten dendrobium of pearls... In short, there are a lot of gold and silver treasures.

In addition to Xu Huizu, there are left and right vanguard generals Zhu Song and Jin Zhong.

As the pioneers, the two led the army to kill the enemy in Guangxi and Annan, which was a great contribution, but for the rewards of the two of them, not only Zhu Di frowned, but even Xie Jin and the others didn't know how to consider it.

Fortunately, Zhu Neng said that his rank was further improved. On the basis of the Minister of the Ministry of War, he was named the Yushi of Youdu, and rewarded him with a lot of gold and silver treasures.

As for Zhu Song, there is no way to confer rewards. This guy is even more perverted than Xu Huizu. He has reached the highest level of official status, even the highest rank of prince. What else can he confer?What are you kidding when you see a senior official?

There was no other way, Xie Jin and others directly reported the matter to Zhu Di. After Zhu Di frowned for a while, he could only write some gold and silver treasures casually, and there was nothing else.

There are only three first-class meritorious persons. When it comes to second-class meritorious persons, there are 30 to [-] persons. They are all candidates for viscounts. gold and silver.

When it comes to the third level of merit, it has expanded to more than two hundred people. They are all the most powerful people in the bandit army. There are generals and soldiers.

When it comes to the fourth level of merit, there are quite a lot of these people. There are more than 1000 people. A small official of the seventh rank, plus some gold and silver, is better than nothing.

……

Zheng He held a thick list of rewards presented by the Ministry of Rites in his hand, and followed Zhu Di with a respectful expression.

"My lords, you will shed your blood for my Ming Dynasty, your achievements can be shown, and your achievements can be sealed!"

With a faint smile on Zhu Di's face, and the sound diffused from the artificial horn echoing in his ears, he nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Today, I am here to discuss with you and reward you! Zheng He!"

Zheng He bowed respectfully and said, "Long live!"

"Let's get started!" Zhu Di nodded slightly to Zheng He, indicating that he could start announcing the award booklet.

"Following Heaven's order, the emperor issued an edict saying: Today there is a general who should be rewarded, Xu Huizu, who used to be the governor of the left army of the Ming Dynasty...Leading [-] Ming soldiers to suppress bandits in Guangxi, and then went deep into Annan to kill the enemy in the hinterland of Fanbang ..., bestow Xu Huizu as the young teacher of the crown prince, add the title of Shangzhu Kingdom, and give him ten thousand taels of gold..."

Xu Huizu respectfully stood by Zhu Di's side, and after reading out his award, he respectfully bowed to Zhu Di and said, "The last general, Xu Huizu, thank you, Your Majesty, for the award!"

When Xu Huizu stepped aside, Zheng He continued: "The general who should be rewarded, Jin Zhong, used to be in the Ministry of War..."

……

The awarding of meritorious persons lasted for two full hours. If it hadn't been for the announcement of the awards, the person who read them had changed several times, Zheng He's voice would have been broken at this moment. up.

Looking at the soldiers below with happy and excited smiles on their faces, Zhu Song suddenly felt that this seemed to be the moment when he most truly became a Ming person after he came to Daming.

At least for now, he is from Daming, the royal family of Daming!

"My lords, returning to Nanjing this time is an army of great victory. Except for those who are in charge of duties, I allow you to return home for half a month in turn. After the half-month expires, you must return to your respective camps as soon as possible. There must be no mistakes. !"

No matter what Zhu Song was thinking at the moment, Zhu Di was very happy at the moment. Standing at the front of the pavilion, looking at the soldiers, he suddenly joked:

"Of course, don't just go back in vain, and take the gold and silver that I rewarded you, lest your family members say that you have been soldiers for so many years, and you haven't even saved any silver."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Lord Long Live is really in a good mood today, otherwise, how could he be joking with everyone?

"Hahaha, brother Sihuang, even if you make a joke, as long as you are here, no one will dare to laugh, otherwise..." At this time, Zhu Song suddenly burst out laughing, "Let's go back to the city?"

"Never mind, whatever!" Zhu Di waved his hand, "Zheng He, drive back to the palace!"

Chapter 487 Banquet

Today's mighty army can be regarded as an experience for the entire Nanjing city.

There is no other way, the Ming's Southern Conquest Army has finally returned to Beijing today, and the people are looking forward to this army that has been away for so long, after all, their return means that the war is over.
