The trip to Beijing had been preparing for a long time to present the prisoner gift. After the emperor's arrival, some details were just fine-tuned according to Zhu Di's wishes, so the preparations were very fast. Two days later, the ceremony was held in the T-shaped square outside the palace.
The military parade and prisoner presentation ceremony of the army, as well as the audience ceremony of the surrendered tribe.
The place where the ceremony was held was in the huge square between the Lingxing Gate, the south gate of the imperial city, and the Li Zhengmen, the south gate of the capital. This location was later the location of *** Square.
Zhu Di's military parade was actually to pave the way for the presentation of prisoners, not to show off force to China and foreign countries. Therefore, it was somewhat different from the military parade organized by Xia Xun in Dezhou. There was no practice of actual combat items, and the army mainly walked in ceremonies and queues.
There is no need to elaborate on the process of the military parade. Whether it is the Liaodong escort officers and soldiers brought by Ding Yu or the Beijing garrison led by Qiu Fu, they are all battle-hardened troops. In terms of formation, they are definitely not as neat as our modern ones, which is almost terrifying.
Ruyi, but the murderous aura that rushes into the night cannot be expressed by a neat queue.
Zhu Di led the civil and military ministers to personally go up to the city tower to review the army. After all the soldiers and horses were galloping and waving, they passed in front of the city tower and stood in neat square formations. After the participating generals were in bright armor and stood with their guns drawn,
The auxiliary Duke Yang Xu came over with a team of prisoners.
Not all the tens of thousands of prisoners were brought, but were only escorted by sergeants. They brought with them the captured Tatar generals and a phalanx of about a thousand prisoners. Xia Xun, supported by four armored guards, rode a white horse.
, walked at the front, stopped in front of the city tower, dismounted from his horse and paid a visit to the emperor. Xia Xun then climbed up the city tower. Behind him were twenty or thirty prisoners of the rank of centurion or above, each of whom was guarded by two swordsmen.
The guards escorted him and climbed the tower together.
When the captured generals knelt down in panic in front of Zhu Di, Zhu Di laughed loudly, and all the civil and military officials paid their congratulations. Xia Xun finished his speech, listened to the emperor's reprimand, and then escorted a group of surrendered prisoners. Speaking of which, those surrendered prisoners may not be willing to behave.
Kneel down and worship, but these aspects were naturally expected. Neither Qiu Fu nor Luo Qian would allow the emperor to make any trouble when he was so happy, and had already done a lot to deal with the prisoners.
This includes depriving them of food for several days in advance. Firstly, they can be starved to the point where they are unable to struggle or resist. Secondly, it can also make their posture and gait appear more embarrassed, highlighting the orderliness of the Ming army and the majesty of the emperor. For O Chi
Jin Tuha, a warrior who was determined and refused to surrender, ordered the doctors to use some medicine to temporarily mute their throats, making them unable to shout even if they wanted to, and unable to curse even if they wanted to.
After the military parade and the presentation of prisoners, merit is rewarded.
After conquering Liaodong and winning two consecutive battles, Xia Xun was the first to achieve success. He was promoted from Tejin Ronglu to Tejin Guanglu, and was promoted from Youzhu to Zuozhu, and was awarded the title of Prince Shaobao. If additional
His position as Duke of the auxiliary country has reached the highest level in terms of character, title, and title at this time, and his scenery is truly unparalleled.
The rewards for the generals in Liaodong were also announced on the spot. If all the rewards for so many people were read out, there would be no need to do anything else today, so I only read out the rewards for some major senior generals. Among them, Ding Yu was really rewarded.
As expected, he was granted the title of Marquis and Marquis of Kaiyuan.
During the reward ceremony, someone once suggested that if Ding Yu were to be ennobled, he could be granted the title of uncle.
In the Yuan Dynasty, the fifth-class title of Duke and Uncle was given because the corresponding treatment for the two titles was too low and a bit useless. Therefore, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, these two titles were abolished, leaving only the third-class title of Duke and Uncle. Of course,
These three levels of title are further subdivided into seven levels: the Duke is divided into the first-class Duke and the second-class Duke; the marquis is divided into the first-class Marquis, the second-class Marquis and the third-class Marquis; and the uncle is divided into the first-class Bo and the second-class Bo.
Zhu Di did not agree, and he was not stingy with rewards for meritorious ministers. Thinking back to the time when Sheng Yong opposed him many times, and when it was finally too late to save his life, he led his remaining troops to surrender, Zhu Di even allowed him to go through it.
How could the Lord of the City mistreat a soldier like Ding Yu who had truly made great contributions to him?
Zhu Di said: "Not to mention that Ding Yu killed the Tatar Grand Master's son in front of the formation, but because he captured Ochijin Wanhu alive, he brought back a Marquis of ten thousand households for me. Can't I return him a Marquis of ten thousand households? He should be rewarded.
,Fenghou!"
Zhu Di made the final decision, and Ding Yu got his wish, and he was granted the title of Marquis. Although he was only a third-class marquis at the moment, he had already risen to the top. Ding Yu was so happy that he could only scratch his ears and cheeks, and jump around like a monkey.
Fortunately, although this guy was bold and bold, he was so frightened when he saw the emperor for the first time that he didn't even dare to breathe in front of the emperor. He didn't do anything rude, which made Xia Xia, who was secretly sweating for him,
Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
After the military parade, the presentation of prisoners, and the awards, there was the appearance of Aha, Mengge Timur and other tribal leaders who had surrendered. Zhu Di cordially received these tribal leaders and gave them rewards and gifts one by one. After the series of ceremony was completed,
It's already dusk.
As the governor of Liaodong, Xia Xun had heavy responsibilities. If something happened here, he should return to Liaodong in time to take charge of local military and political affairs, and at the same time convey the emperor's rewards to each specific official. But Xia Xun did not leave. After the ceremony, he followed
The emperor has returned to his palace. Can the situation in Liaodong be completely opened? The crux of the matter must be resolved here. What is the use of his return to Liaodong?
The opposition he encountered during the last reform of Liaodong's ethnic policy reminded him that Beijing was now a base for those who disagreed with his political views. He was playing on an away field. If the opposition was too loud, the emperor would also
Be more cautious. After all, although the current policy has shortcomings, it can still calm disputes and resolve conflicts to a certain extent.
Although Zhu Di was very interested and showed no resistance when we briefly talked about it last time, your boss showed that he listened carefully to your suggestions and even praised you for your creativity and sense of responsibility.
It doesn't mean that I agree with your idea. Xia Xun has been hanging out in the officialdom for nearly six or seven years. Of course, he won't be so naive. He has to treat this as a war and prepare carefully.
So today Xia Xun went out of his way and returned to his dormitory, had dinner with Ming'er, then walked to the desk and sat down, getting ready seriously.

The same night, Qingyang Fort, Liaodong.
As a philanthropic elder of his tribe, and living alone, Amul, as always, hung out with other tribesmen who had been resettled in the local area to sit and chat with each other after dinner.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, and with some instructions, he quietly deployed it.
"Huhulu, what are you doing for a living now?"
"The farming season has been missed this year. After the land was reclaimed, I first planted some vegetables. I picked the ones that grew every day and took them to Kaiyuan City to sell. Then I went to help, mainly pulling horses from Hada City.
The various goods that arrived were sorted and sorted, loaded onto trucks again, and bundled before being transported to Jinzhou by Han merchants."
Amul nodded and said happily: "Great, this way you will have the opportunity to contact all aspects of their forces. You must act according to the situation, create some disputes as soon as possible, and provoke conflicts between all parties. The bigger the matter, the better."
"
"The villain understands!"
"Well, other tribesmen in this fort, as well as tribesmen stationed in other forts, have received orders and are looking for opportunities to create conflicts between various forces. They are not very friendly with each other to begin with. As long as they are provoked a little
..., as long as you are careful with your actions, you will not attract other people's attention. Don't forget, your parents, your wife and children are all in the hands of the Grand Master. Once the matter is settled, you will belong to our clan.
Do you understand if a meritorious minister fails to do something right?"
"Yes yes!"
Amul walked out of the door, looked around, and walked towards the second house with a seemingly leisurely pace...
Hanyang, North Korea, royal palace.
Li Fangyuan summoned Liucao Banshu, and the main ministers were listening to Li Banshu, who had returned from the Ming Dynasty injured, to explain the results of his trip to Liaodong.
Li Banshu angrily explained how Xia Xun had been avoiding him. Li Fangyuan said worriedly: "I, North Korea, took advantage of the Mongolian Yuan and Ming Dynasty campaigns and had no time to take into account the opportunities in Liaodong, and successively controlled some tribes in Liaodong. With these
With the surrender of tribes, their tribesmen are our Korean people, and the land they actually occupy is our Korean territory.
Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is very powerful in Liaodong, and all the tribes in Liaodong are following the trend and joining the Ming Dynasty. Even some Jurchen tribes who have settled in the north of our country are ready to move.
, is it tolerable or not? However, the Ming Dynasty is powerful and cannot be defeated by me, so resorting to force is not advisable. Dear ministers, do you have any good strategies?"
The ministers were silent for a moment. Liu Songgeng, the judge of the Ministry of Revenue, had an idea and said: "Your Majesty, what Yang Xu did in Liaodong is completely different from the behavior of Ming court officials in the past. I am afraid that his actions are also the same among the people of Ming Dynasty.
I don’t entirely agree. When Emperor Gao, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, once founded the country, he once said frankly that the Ming Dynasty was replaced by the Yuan Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty was replaced by the Jin Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty was replaced by the Jin Dynasty by the Liao Dynasty.
Liaodong has always been under the rule of the Liao and Jin people. According to the historical data I know, the Liao and Jin dynasties did not attach much importance to literary affairs. Their "geographical records" were quite simple, and the various tribes and territories in Liaodong under their governance were combined
There is no record of place names, so we can claim that all the above places are the hometown of Korea. If we want evidence, we can read the "Geographical Chronicles" of the Liao and Jin Dynasties.
I think back then, Tamna Island (Jeju Island) was originally a pasture owned by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. During the Ming Dynasty, this island should have been owned by the Ming Dynasty. When our country asked the Ming court to take it over, Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, readily agreed. What’s more,
There are no historical records to prove that these are the places they belong to. A gentleman is known as righteousness, and a villain is known as benefit. This great country has always prided itself on being a country of etiquette and a country of gentlemen. Once these tribes and their residences cannot be found,
If you record it, you will definitely have no shame in continuing to occupy it!"
Li Fangyuan said happily: "What a great idea! What Liu Banshu said is true. Now that the Ming Emperor is in Beijing, I want you to represent me, North Korea, and rush to Beijing quickly to win the approval of Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty on this matter!"
Liu Songgeng hurriedly paused and said: "Your Majesty, take the order!"
