First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 406

Linhuai Town, the starting point of Zhu Yuanzhang.

There, Lao Zhu had the first army of his own.

And on the way to Linhuai, the discussion with Zhang Ximeng gave Lao Zhu a hazy consciousness. He wanted to compete for the world and establish his own hegemony.

In the blink of an eye, eight years have passed, and he has indeed achieved something. And there are not many old soldiers who can accompany him to today.

Some of them died in battle, some had to leave the army early because of injuries, and of course, some violated military regulations and were beheaded by Lao Zhu as an example.

Of the two or three thousand people at the beginning, there are still some left, perhaps not even eight hundred.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched these old friends pass by in front of him. He hoped that these people could accompany him to continue his journey. The northern expedition to Dadu, the clean up of mountains and rivers, the land of Kyushu, and the reunification of the land, continued to review the three armies in front of Fengtianmen!

Immediately after Linhuai's old troops left, they were the Huaixi soldiers led by Wu Zhen... These people were recruited and trained by Zhu Yuanzhang himself. They were both Zhu Yuanzhang's villagers and Lao Zhu's Paoze brothers.

They are the core of the Zhu Family Army, and they are shining stars. They have laid down the foundation of today and will also open up the world in the future. They are unstoppable and unmatched. The ruthless people of this era are gathered! Invincible boy group!

These people give Zhu Yuanzhang more peace of mind, rest assured that with them, they will be invincible and invincible!

After the Huaixi formation, it was the Chuzhou disciples led by Feng Guoyong.

This all-rounder in civil and military affairs, who advised Lao Zhu to cross the river, and went straight to Yingtian, once died young and violently in the army that attacked Shaoxing in history. Zhu Yuanzhang was heartbroken, and in terms of merit, Feng Guoyong ranked eighth among many meritorious officials, second only to the Sixth Duke of the Founding of the Kingdom and Hu Dahai, showing his high status. .

In this time and space, Feng Guoyong was placed in Yangzhou, avoiding danger, still jumping around, and in excellent health.

There are too many famous generals, just because they are not accustomed to the soil and water, or they can't explain the reasons for unknown reasons, and they die in confusion. Zhang Ximeng couldn't turn into a magic doctor and pull a person back from the gate of hell.

However, Zhang Ximeng implemented health regulations in the army early, formulated catering standards, carried out reasonable training, and encouraged a healthy lifestyle... Under Zhang Ximeng's advocacy, Zhu's army was rarely acclimatized, and there was no large-scale plague.

Non-combat attrition is minimal.

Therefore, there are many famous generals and soldiers who are safe and sound. It is no exaggeration to say that the Zhu family army today is a bit fiercer than in history!

After Feng Guoyong, a dark man, leading Hezhou troops and horses, appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Hu Dahai!

This brave and upright man was also not attacked by Xiao Xiao, and he was still safe. Hu Dahai's bravery is no less than that of Chang Yuchun, and his most valuable thing is to understand the truth and set an example. His son Hu Sanshe broke the law and was executed by Lao Zhu. Hu Dahai did not resent Zhu Yuanzhang, on the contrary, he was more loyal.

Only Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to keep Hu Dahai's second son Hu by his side.

But Hu Dahai felt that in order to make the soldiers go forward, the general must set an example, how could he let his son hide behind?

He couldn't beat Hu Dahai, so Zhu Yuanzhang could only agree.

All in all, this is a loyal and reliable warrior.

After Hu Dahai, it was the river crossing phalanx commanded by Chang Yuchun.

These soldiers all participated in the battle of the Transition River, and when they captured Yingtian, they made great achievements.

Seeing a group of elite soldiers passing by in front of them, on the viewing platform, there was thunderous cheers, and people rounded their eyes.

The slap is red, and it is very exciting.

Do you see, these are the soldiers and horses of Daming, our children soldiers!

Just after Chang Yuchun, a team of soldiers and horses appeared, led by Zhu Wenzheng. They walked in neat steps and passed in front of the crowd. After a brief silence, Timur also stood up first, tears unstoppable. gushing out.

He recognized it!

This is the prisoner of war camp in Tongling!

Also first Timur, they all led these soldiers, and Ni Wenjun fought **** battle to protect the safety of Tongling.

At that time, they were still prisoners who needed to be reformed, but today they are warriors in the army, the elite who can come to participate in the military parade.

"OK!"

Timur also cried with joy, and those Mongolians who came to watch the ceremony also shed tears of excitement.

Here you can see a group of soldiers and horses dominated by Mongolian prisoners of war, which has too much information. To be honest, how these prisoners, the old people of the Yuan court, how to integrate into the new dynasty is really not an easy task.

On Lao Zhu's side, it's definitely not okay to be too good to them, and it's not okay to treat them as cattle and horses.

And these people are trembling, always anxious, and detached from their morals. Any slight disturbance, even if it is just a family conflict, will shake their loyalty.

But when they saw this team, they were relieved, and completely relaxed.

The reason is very simple, Zhu Jiajun represents the core of the Ming Dynasty and the pillar of the new dynasty.

Mongolians can participate in it smoothly and are respected. Mongolians who have been transformed outside do not need to worry.

You can feel at ease as a citizen of the new dynasty.

After these people, the battle of Hangzhou, the battle of Fuliang, the victory of Hukou... Every battle, every important node,

A team is represented.

The entire military parade process is like a picture scroll, unfolding in an orderly manner, perfectly displaying the struggles of these years and the experience of step by step in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and the courtiers.

Clear and true, deep into the bone marrow.

To say it, it is really not easy to have today!

At the end of the team, the iron cavalry led by Hua Yun and the navy led by Yu Tonghai and Liao Yongzhong passed through Fengtianmen in turn. The entire military parade ended with the sound of long live mountains.

The first half of the enthronement ceremony finally passed smoothly. Next, in the evening, there will be a parade of Yingtian people, then a fireworks show, and then a Chinese opera festival, which will be celebrated all night.

As the chief director of the entire ceremony, Zhang Ximeng should give himself 80 points, which is quite satisfactory, so he can breathe a sigh of relief.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden proposal surprised Zhang Ximeng.

Didn't we say that we would wait until after the ceremony to award all officials?

Why are you so anxious?

Zhang Ximeng had no choice but to rush to Fengtian Temple.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang had already taken off his military uniform and changed his clothes three times a day. Old Zhu was still not used to it. Facing the big guy, Old Zhu grinned first.

"Don't be so sullen, we are enthroned, but we don't have a piece of meat! We are still us, you are still you!"

Lao Zhu said with a smile: "We know you've been waiting for a long time for the conferring of heroes. In the morning, we were enthroned, crowned queen, crowned prince... Our family has made arrangements, how can we neglect the big guy? So, we I changed the process without authorization, and took advantage of the afternoon to briefly talk about the award, and when I watched the play at night, I would feel at ease, don't you think?"

When everyone heard this, they all held their breaths and did not dare to speak.

A few people could even hear their own heartbeats.

Although there has been no interruption in the teaching and training of soldiers. But for most people, being able to build a career,

It is also something that cannot be refused.

Half-life fame, all lies in this!

Who can't be excited?

Unless you're not alone!

On the other hand, Zhang Ximeng was calm, completely detached from things, and didn't care. Whatever, I can do it anyway.

Unlike Zhang Ximeng, an inhuman creature, Li Shanchang cared so much at the moment that his palms were soaked.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes swept across, and he stayed on Li Shanchang for a while, and then fell on others. In an instant, old Li Wan's thoughts were all despairing, and he almost groaned, but fortunately he could hold on.

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at everyone, and he could hear the needle falling in Fengtian Temple.

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang called out, "Mr. Li!"

Mr. Lee?

Not Mr. Zhang!

Did I hear it right?

Li Shanchang actually looked at Zhang Ximeng subconsciously, and happened to see Zhang Ximeng's smiling face, a look of congratulations, and Old Li calmed down in an instant.

Not surprisingly, Zhang Ximeng must have known in advance, and he is still a lot worse!

Thinking of this, Li Shanchang didn't seem to be so excited.

"The old minister is here!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Mr. Li, over the years, you have been managing military supplies and handling government affairs... It's not difficult for one person to work hard for a day, a month, a year. The baggage has been broken, and there has been no major trouble!"

"Xu Da!"

Xu Da stood up immediately, "I'm here!"

"Look at the wrinkles on Mr. Li's face~www.mtlnovel.com~ You said he was worried, more or less than you?"

Xu Da hurriedly said: "If you go back to the upper position, Li Xianggong will do his best, everyone knows that he is Xiao He in the upper position!"

Old Zhu smiled and looked at the others, "What do you think?"

Civil and military present, what else can they say, they just praised together, "Li Xiang is Xiao He alive, he is really a lord and an important minister!"

Zhu Yuanzhang took the lead, turned to Li Shanchang, and said to him: "Mr. Li and we have met at the end of the day, thanks to the persistence of Mr., so that we have today's foundation, and the merits of Mr. should be rewarded."

Lao Zhu paused here, and Li Shanchang's heart suddenly raised in his throat, can you finish first, I'm too old to hold back!

"We have decided to add Li Shanchang as Duke Xuan, hereditary will not replace him!"

Sure enough, it is a hereditary and irreplaceable prince, which is not unexpected.

It's just that the Xuanguo is sealed, which is a little bit less interesting.

But think about it from another angle, if you seal a big country now, and the Northern Expedition succeeds in the future, what will happen?

Still a king?

Therefore, Li Shanchang immediately knelt down and thanked Tianen.

Zhu Yuanzhang pulled him up and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, there are some specific rewards to come, including your wife and son, which can only be given to you after the Ministry of Rites handles it properly... The rest of the people are the same."

Li Shanchang nodded hurriedly, "I understand! I'm thankful for my family on behalf of my family!"

Old Li won the award and ranked first. He was quite content. Without any hesitation, he straightened his chest and stood aside.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang paused for a while, and then read the next name, "Xu Da!"
