Emperor Chongzhen took this crossbow and couldn't put it down. He said, "this thing belongs to me. Xu Aiqing, you have made great achievements. I'm very pleased. What kind of reward do you say you need?"
Xu Jianqiang said, "this thing was captured by Duke Zhu in the battle of Yiling. He also gave it to the emperor. If you want to reward him, please reward Duke Zhu."
Emperor Chongzhen also knew that at this time, although Zhu Xieyuan defeated the war, it would not do him any good to punish a man with a heavy army and loyal to the imperial court, so he thought for a moment and said: "Imperial edict: Zhu xieyuanping made meritorious contributions to the protection of the country. He was specially granted the crown prince, the crown prince, the Minister of the Ministry of war and the seven provincial governors of the south. He was given the Shang's sword, which can be cut first and then played. Yin Yizi was a thousand royal guards, with a reward of 10000 and thousands of silk and satins."
It can be said that all the things that Zhu Xieyuan lost in the defeat of Yiling have been taken back, and all the honors that should be given have been given.
However, for people like Zhu Xieyuan, everything is floating clouds. He has also achieved the extreme in his official career. He holds a heavy army and is an extreme minister. However, his fate is not good. At home, in his hometown, ten ethnic groups were slaughtered. Except one of his sons went to the army and took care of him around him, all his relatives in the world were killed, including the students 。
Mao Shunfeng, the general of the Chinese army, also hated Zhu Xieyuan to the extreme. He not only killed all the ten families of Zhu Xieyuan, but also planed his ancestral tombs and turned them into cesspits.
Even after the emperor knew it, he was very sad and ordered to build a temple to commemorate it. There were no sacrifices in spring and autumn. Zhu Xieyuan cried and scolded his children and grandchildren for being unfilial!
But he also put on his filial piety clothes from now on. He no longer wore his first-class minister's big red robe. It's all right to wear a white robe and wear hemp and filial piety outside the armor. This is not different from the potential of the Chinese army.
After copying the fortune of King Fu, Zhu Xieyuan obtained a large amount of property. He did not take these properties as his own, but recruited a large number of soldiers and refugees.
Xu Jianqiang was right in saying that he copied Lord Fu's house and had no problem supporting half of Henan. Zhu Xieyuan did make good use of the money. He recruited refugees on a large scale. Those who can be soldiers should be soldiers, and those who can't be soldiers should be asked to help reclaim and build farms. What he learned is the way of Liu family disaster relief.
Any kind of disaster relief, blindly eating nothing, is doomed to not last long. Only work for relief can last long.
Just like the Liu family in the past, many refugees feel bad about stuffing food into your hands. They all know that there is no good thing in the world. No matter how rich the Liu family is, it can't support you forever. After all, you're not his son, but the Liu family set up all kinds of farms and production and Construction Corps to let these people work while giving them food, Many people are more motivated and happier.
Because they know that if they work for the Liu family, the Liu family will provide them with money and food to support them. This is a normal and natural thing.
Zhu Xieyuan is also learning from these experiences of the Liu family, recruiting and comforting a large number of refugees, reclamation and construction, and farming.
Under the current system of the Ming Dynasty, free farmers are basically unable to cultivate, because once you cultivate, the imperial court will collect taxes, and officials will exploit them layer by layer. The taxes they collect can not be borne by ordinary people.
That is to say, the common people do farming for free, which is the main reason for the tragic end of the Ming Dynasty.
However, if it is the land opened by powerful people, officials dare not collect taxes, so that they can have a harvest.
Just like the Liu family, with their official identity, they have opened up a large number of wasteland, even some owned land. They dare to occupy it by force and cultivate it to ensure output. Zhu Xieyuan also implements this article now.
Although Zhu Xieyuan knew that the seeds were planted, it was hard to say whether they could harvest, because his army could not send troops until after the summer harvest, but after the weather was warm, he had to send troops to capture Shandong. This is the speed of troops.
But if the seeds are planted, there will be a harvest one day. It's hard to say who the harvest is. After all, the people on this land have benefited.
It's kind of Zhu Xieyuan to do this, such as Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang. They don't care about this. They only reach out to the imperial court for money and go all out to train the troops. In their eyes, no matter how much food they make, it's useless. In the end, they will be eaten. Only when they win the war and make military achievements will they be eternal.
Both Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang are training day and night, ready to attack Shandong after the warm spring. They also know that the other side will be on guard, which is destined to be a fierce battle.
Liu Bu and his ministry of national defense immediately reported the plan to King Liu Yuanqiao. After King Liu Yuanqiao agreed, it began to be implemented immediately.
They planned to transfer all the troops of the whole Chinese Empire, including their aircraft forces in Huguang, Jiangnan and Sichuan, to Shandong, ready to fight a decisive battle with the imperial court here. Since the imperial court troops attacked in three ways, they also divided their troops in three ways, ready to fight a large-scale decisive battle with the imperial court, and the world will be determined in one war.
After the Ministry of defense of the Chinese empire made a plan, it immediately began to promote their war machine.
Their purchasing department began to search for all grain and all kinds of military goods on the market, and all ships along the Yangtze River were recruited one by one to transport grain and materials.
The Chinese army was already expanding its army. Facing this situation, they have increased their army expansion and lowered the threshold in order to recruit more troops.
Now they have openly said that at least one million troops must be recruited so that they can fight against the Ming army and dominate the world.
The place where the Chinese empire is located is the richest place in the Ming Dynasty. Due to the decline of the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, there is less money and food that can be absorbed locally. However, unlike the Chinese Empire, they broke down the old interest class for the new forces, obtained a lot of money and food, and also obtained the full support of local heroes.
With such a foundation, they have a strong mobilization ability. They have the ability to get a lot of money and soldiers from Jiangnan, Huguang and Sichuan, and continuously go to the front line to prepare for a decisive battle with Daming.
The power of the entire Chinese Empire to mobilize is extremely amazing. Although the area they currently control is not as big as that of the Ming Dynasty, the materials they can mobilize are far above the Ming Dynasty. Millions of square kilometers of land and a country with tens of millions of people began to roll up. Everything is working for war.
Although the Chinese Empire was not all soldiers in the country, the scale of the war affected everyone in the Empire, and the national war was coming.
Liu Bu was surprised to see the data and power they could mobilize. With such a huge power, it was not difficult to deal with Daming.
However, the war was related to the survival of the Chinese Empire. Liu Bu did not dare to be careless. He began to gather all his generals and mobile forces to Shandong.
And also called all his screen friends and heroes to further improve the plan of the war in Shandong.
This is basically an unparalleled war, that is, the founding war of the Chinese Empire. If the world loses, they will be finished.
Therefore, it is unnecessary for others to emphasize or say that all major departments of the Chinese Empire mobilized all their forces and tried every means to put their forces in the direction of Shandong.
Last year, they went out of Shandong and swept the world. Now they have returned to Shandong again and started the war to dominate the world.
It began in Shandong and ended in Shandong.
The people of Nanjing, who had only lived a few days of peace and stability, felt the tense moment of war, because they could see that a large number of military grain and military materials were transported everywhere along the Yangtze River through the wharf every day.
Liu Yuanqiao, the supervisor of the Chinese Empire, also ordered that all localities urgently transport grain and grass here, take Nanjing as the hub, and then transfer it to other localities, mainly Shandong.
Even their most powerful navy, which was originally active along the southeast coast, has now all begun to retreat and begin to withdraw to the sea area of Shandong. The huge military mobilization involves all aspects, and the whole Chinese Empire has basically been mobilized.
They also made a good plan, that is, Liu Bu will lead the army in early February next year.
Liu Bu's identity is equivalent to the crown prince and golden son of the Chinese Empire. But now there is no way. The Chinese empire can't find a suitable person to replace him.
Of course, I believe that the city government of Liu Yuanqiao can't hand over so many troops to one person. He can rest assured only if Liu Bu is in charge.
Others, whether Zheng Zhibao or Liu Zhongyong, or other generals, can not get his trust and confidence.
So many military powers are left to other people. The other party suddenly came to Chen Qiao mutiny. It is estimated that they can't find the grave even if they want to cry. Even his brother and his in laws Zheng Zhibao are impossible. Moreover, only Liu Bu has such prestige and ability to subdue all people and make everyone obey him.
In the system of the Chinese army, Liu Bu is the person with the highest prestige and the highest military achievements. It can be said that the Chinese army was founded by him. All soldiers and generals basically know him. In some aspects, they can say that they only know that there is Marshal Liu and do not know that there is a king.
If it were someone else, it would have been killed by Liu Yuanqiao, but this person is his son and his best partner. If there is another person in the world who Liu Yuanqiao unconditionally trusts and does not doubt, this person is Liu bu.
Of course, Liu Yuanqiao has no choice but to send Liu bu. Among the millions of Chinese soldiers, everyone is full of confidence and high morale. If he sent someone else, it is estimated that the morale would not be so high as it is now.
So far, Liu Bu has maintained the record of total victory, invincible and victorious.
