Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Zhu Yunxi read the battle report to the end.
At daybreak, the bandit chief Hajiu and Yuelu Timur attacked fiercely with 30,000 men, vowing to devour the ministers in one bite. Little did they know that Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi and the Longxiang Shence Army had arrived.
I, the heavy armored cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, acted as the vanguard, and the light cavalry as the rear, I defeated the thief chieftain's central army directly!
The thief chief Yuelu Timur died in the battle, and Hajiu led a thousand people to flee west. In this battle, a total of 30,000 pseudo-Yuan thieves were killed, 2,000 were captured, and countless cattle, horses, and camels were captured.
After reading it in one breath, the shock in Zhu Yunxi's heart subsided.
This is not just a battle report, but a picture of the Ming Dynasty's battle in Mobei.
Lan Yu, who used his body as a bait to attract the enemy, was really a madman, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who resisted cavalry with foot were also a bunch of madmen.
A group of lunatics with the belief that they must win!
At this moment, if it were not for the court meeting outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, if Zhu Yuanzhang and others were not present, Zhu Yunxi would really want to shout, Ming Dynasty is mighty!
Grandpa Huang, such a great victory deserves a reward! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded, then sat down on the dragon chair and said, pass on the decree!
After the emperor finished speaking, naturally there were eunuchs ready with pens and ink, and several Hanlin bachelors were waiting with their pens.
You don’t need to write it this time! Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands to his ministers and said to Zhu Yunxi, Grandson, you write it!
Okay! Zhu Yunxi was not shy. He stood directly in front of the desk, picked up his pen and waited for Zhu Yuanzhang to speak.
You won the battle and we are very happy.
Zhu Yunxi was slightly startled, and then he understood that Zhu Yuanzhang's style had always been like this, simple and clear, as if speaking homely. In the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang directly wrote in his imperial edict to the border generals, "Have your knives ready for the thieves to come."
Let's chop him to death.
The more casually Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, the more he did not treat this person as an outsider. On the contrary, if Zhu Yuanzhang was polite and wrote about being blessed by heaven, someone would be careful about losing his head.
It's just that a little too many people died. You are the general and the Duke of the Ming Dynasty. Don't fight this kind of war again in the future.
The corpses of the soldiers who died in battle must be put away. We Han people are very particular about returning fallen leaves to their roots. We send cavalry to escort them and send all the children back. The list of meritorious service members must be reported, and the list of those who died in battle must not be left behind. There are also injured and disabled people.
Yes, report it to us. We are all good men of Ming Dynasty, we can't let them down...
Zhu Yuanzhang spoke slowly, and Zhu Yunxi wrote slowly.
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi caught a trace of hesitation in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.
It stands to reason that after saying this, the emperor would discuss the merits and rewards in the imperial edict, but Zhu Yunxi still did not see the following.
That’s all. Zhu Yuanzhang said, they will be sent to the blue jade tent in a hurry for 800 miles!
The eunuch on the side carefully took away the imperial edict that was still wet with ink, and walked to the dragon chair. There was a separate small table there, and on the small table was a simple red square box.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, opened the box solemnly, and then took out a large seal, a jade seal, from inside with both hands!
After finishing the imperial edict, Zhu Yuanzhang said again, "Hubu!"
Fu You, Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue, asked, "Is your minister here?"
For the soldiers who died in battle, each person will receive a pension of two large silver coins, five dou of rice, three dou of wine, and five catties of meat per month. Add one piece of silk and one catty of catkins. Those who are disabled and unable to take care of themselves will be given an additional rice and six stone per year.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes became sharp. Remember what we say, even if you lose a grain of rice or a penny, it won't matter!
I obey the decree! Fu Youde said.
The pensions for the soldiers can be described as generous. How many emperors in the past and present have cared about the life and death of large numbers of soldiers? Giving them some food at once is considered a favor.
Zhu Yuanzhang's pension truly allowed these men who worked hard for the Ming Dynasty to have no worries. Their wives, children, and children at home would not go hungry when they died, and they would be supported by the court even if they were injured for a lifetime.
Zhu Yunxi felt that no one's success was a fluke. It was probably this kind of kindness to the soldiers from the heart that made Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial career possible.
Afterwards, the court will disperse.
The two men who returned to Fengtian Palace did not sit in the chariot but walked instead. The palace guards stayed far away, for fear of disturbing the two men's whispers.
Grandpa Huang! He really couldn't hold it back, Zhu Yunxi said, General Lan Yu and others won the battle...
Are you trying to tell me why we didn’t give them any official titles? Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.
Jiang is still old and spicy, and his thoughts were immediately revealed. Zhu Yunxi gave a small flattery, the emperor is wise!
Being honored with a national title is not a child's play. We will discuss it later at the court meeting when their teachers return to the court. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunxi. Grandson, you have to remember that kindness comes from the top. Ministers are also human beings, and people are sometimes cheap. Things that are too easy to get cannot be obtained.
I will cherish it. Since we want to give someone a title, we must let him understand the meaning behind the title and our kindness!
Grandson, I understand! Zhu Yunxi said respectfully.
You don't understand! Zhu Yuanzhang's big hand patted Zhu Yunxi's shoulder. You are smart, thoughtful, and smart, but your mental skills are not that good! As he said that, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed. Anyway, your grandfather, the old man, won't die for a while. You
Stay with us and study hard!
Yes, a modern young man, a modern young worker, will indeed be deficient in the area of imperial mental skills.
Zhu Yunxi felt warm in his heart, "Grandpa Huang, you will live a long life!"
Nonsense, emperors throughout the ages have lived long live, but how many people have lived a long life? Zhu Yuanzhang smiled as he walked, Grandson, remember that if you want to be a good emperor, you must treat yourself as a human being, don't listen to the flattery of those ministers, it is unreliable
!
Grandson remembers it! Zhu Yunxi held Zhu Yuanzhang's hand and said.
The emperor recognized him from the bottom of his heart, but did not say it out of some concerns. Both his grandfather and grandson knew this.
The two walked slowly, and sometimes Zhu Yuanzhang would turn his head and look at his grandson's profile, with a smile on his face.
In fact, the reason why he did not immediately reward Lan Yu and others was very simple. The favor was right. But in this case, he hoped it was not him, but his grandson Zhu Yunxi.
Lan Yu is now a minister and an absolute leader among the generals. He is also Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law, a relative of the prince, and Zhu Yunxi's uncle.
Behind him, there are a lot of old ministers of the prince and the generals and nobles of the Huaixi line, intertwined into a huge power network. Power is a double-edged sword, and not everyone can play it well.
Now that I have given Lan Yu too many things, if I die one day and Zhu Yunxi comes to power, wouldn't it mean that there will be no reward? By then, Lan Yu will have another honor among his many identities, and he will be the first relative of the Ming Dynasty.
A relative who is good at fighting and surrounded by a group of civil servants and generals is not a good thing for a young emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a heroic emperor who came from a rough background, and he also knew that people's hearts are sinister. At the same time, he also knew that there are no absolute loyal ministers in the world. Duke Zhou was afraid of the day of rumors, but Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the throne.
Moreover, Lan Yu is a typical martial artist, outspoken and very easy to be instigated. His achievements in military victories over the years have also made this man a bit domineering, and sometimes he even dares to contradict himself in private.
There were actually many such people in the Ming Dynasty, and those veteran generals who conquered the world together more or less all had this problem.
Zhu Yunxi is still young, and this kid has a kind heart. Can he control them?
The delay in announcing the establishment of the emperor's grandson was also to let those who were secretly trying to make trouble come to the surface so that he could beat them.
If they can be used, keep them.
If they are a threat to Zhu Yunxi in the future, then get rid of them all.
Fengtian Palace was right in front of him. Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but squeeze his grandson's hand and said in his heart.
Grandson, what we will give you in the future will definitely be a great country. Before that, Grandpa will cut off all the thorns for you. You can be your emperor of peace, and leave the bad guys to your grandpa!
Grandpa Huang, be careful of the steps! Before going up the steps, Zhu Yunxi warned in a low voice.
