Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Zhao Wen took Song Hu and Zhao Daniu to stand behind Liu Changfu, and he was also a little excited at this moment.

Whether it can gain a complete foothold in the Ming Dynasty depends on today.

After coming to Daming for such a long time, Zhao Wen has not yet established his own foundation, which is quite uncomfortable for Zhao Wen.

Zhao Daniu's eyes were wide open, staring straight ahead, rubbing his hands constantly, and his breathing gradually became rapid.

Song Hu felt better, his reaction was not so violent, and he looked forward calmly.

Under the blowing and beating of the musicians, the troops composed of Dongchang, Jinyiwei and the Ministry of War came slowly.

"My subordinate Liu Changfu, Lu Daliang pays respects to the angel!"

Liu Changfu and Lu Daliang looked at the crowd in front of them, and hurriedly turned their heads and worshiped.

This group of people represents the emperor, so they can't help but worship.

The various officials and soldiers standing behind the two also hurriedly bowed down.

Zhao Wen was originally unwilling to worship, after all, in later generations, Zhao Wen has never worshiped anyone except his parents.

However, the current situation is stronger than others, even if Zhao Wen doesn't want to kneel down, he can't help it.

"The decree has arrived!"

A middle-aged official with a goatee and a scarlet robe jumped off his horse, holding a shining scroll, and shouted at Liu Changfu and the others.

"Hurry up, hurry up, prepare the incense case!" Liu Changfu hurriedly shouted at the soldiers next to him.

After a few breaths, the incense table that had been prepared for a long time was brought up.

Wei Yunzhong held the imperial decree in his hand, raised it high above his head, and said loudly: "The imperial decree has arrived!"

Liu Changfu and Lu Daliang hurriedly stood up from the ground, patted the dust off their bodies, kowtowed three times and prostrated nine times, knelt down on the ground again, and said loudly, "Respectfully, Holy Ann!"

"Saint Gong'an!"

Wei Yunzhong slowly opened the imperial decree in his hand and read it.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, said: Since the grassland Tartars entered the customs, all the things I have heard are rumors about thousands of miles of corruption and the displacement of the people. I was shocked when I heard this. However, Liu Changfu, the eunuch in charge of Xuanfu Town, is the vice president. The soldier Lu Daliang was brave and resourceful, and he was not afraid of the Tartar soldiers. He used a clever plan to slaughter the thieves who violated our Ming Dynasty, and captured countless people, and rescued the people from the fire and water. Among them, the soldier Zhao Wen was even more loyal, and he was not afraid of the Tartars. , personally led hundreds of soldiers, and attracted the Tartars into the city..."

The whole imperial decree is complicated and long, and the main meaning is to praise the brave and resourceful people in Xuanfu city and other nonsense.Zhao Wen knelt down and listened drowsily. If it wasn't for Zhao Daniu next to him supporting his waist, Zhao Wen would have fallen to the ground a long time ago.

In fact, Wei Yunzhong and these people did not come to announce the reward, they just came to inspect the harvest.The specific rewards have not been announced yet, and it is estimated that Wei Yunzhong and others will return to the capital at the earliest and hand over the captured Tartar heads before they can come down.

Wei Yunzhong closed the imperial decree slowly, and said to the crowd with a smile, "Get up, everyone!"

"My lord, get up." Zhao Daniu leaned close to Zhao Wen's ear and whispered.

"What? Have you finished reading?" Zhao Wen trembled and stood up from the ground.

He rubbed his sore eyes and looked forward.

Wei Yunzhong handed the imperial decree to Liu Changfu, and said with a smile: "You have made great achievements this time, and the Holy Majesty has praised you a lot."

Liu Changfu gently stroked the imperial decree in his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it, all of this is due to the blessing of the Holy Spirit and the blessing of the ancestors. I dare not take credit, I dare not take credit."

Wei Yunzhong laughed loudly, and said: "Since the Tartars invaded the territory of the Xuan Mansion, the Holy Majesty has been unable to sleep at night. He has been talking about the war in the Xuan Mansion every day. When the Holy Majesty was most worried, you unexpectedly sent a The victory of the Xuan Mansion, killing four hundred Tartars, do you think the Holy Majesty can not praise you?"

"Okay, I'm here on this trip to examine the heads of the Tartars. As for your rewards, I estimate that they will come out in the middle of next month. Don't worry, take me to see the heads of the Tartars now." .”

"Oh, by the way, His Majesty also specially asked me to see that hero named Zhao Wen. Where is he now?"

Wei Yunzhong asked suddenly.

Liu Changfu put the imperial decree into his arms, pointed to Zhao Wen who was standing behind him, and said, "This is Zhao Wen."

Wei Yunzhong looked at Zhao Wen, his eyes lit up, "I thought the strong man who dared to go out of the city to attract the Tartars was a tall man eight feet tall, five big and three thick, and full of beards. Unexpectedly, when I saw him today, I thought wrong."

Wei Yunzhong carefully looked at Zhao Wen's appearance, and kept nodding his head.

Although Zhao Wen was wearing a fat mandarin duck battle jacket, he couldn't hide his heroic spirit at all.His brows are upside down, his eyes are like stars, shining brightly.The whole person is like a sharp sword, with a heroic spirit.

Zhao Wen's image fits the Confucian description of Confucian generals very well, and it also fits the tastes of these officials and lords very well.

Wei Yunzhong stroked his beard and praised: "There is the style of Zhao Zilong, there is the style of Zhao Zilong. Such a hero should be like this."

Zhao Wen looked at Wei Yunzhong, his old face blushed, and he said hastily, "I dare not, I dare not."

"Haha, you look like you're in your early 20s?"

"22 years old this year!"

"A hero makes a boy, a hero makes a boy." Wei Yunzhong kept nodding.

"Oh, by the way, where are the heads of those Tartars? The main purpose of my trip is to check them." Wei Yunzhong turned his head and looked at Liu Changfu.

"It's in Xuanfu City, why don't you have a cup of tea first?" Liu Changfu said.

"No need, business matters, business matters."

……

On the school grounds of Xuanfu City, there are a few more hills on the originally flat ground.

Standing on the school grounds, Wei Yunzhong pointed to these hillocks and looked at Lu Daliang, "Are these the heads of Tartars?"

"Back to the angel, that's right."

"Good guy, there are so many." Wei Yunzhong sighed, and then shouted: "Come on, come and check with me."

As soon as Wei Yunzhong finished speaking, he led the Dongchang fanzi and the captain of Jin Yiwei towards the head of the tartar.

"My lord, these are real Tartars!" A Jin Yiwei captain picked up a head from the mountain bag, and kept examining it in his hand.

"How do you see it?" Wei Yunzhong asked.

Captain Jin Yiwei put the tartar heads in front of Wei Yunzhong's eyes, pointed to them and said, "Look, my lord, although these tartar heads are all tanned with lime, it's not difficult to check."

"My lord, look at the faces of these tartars. All of them are big plates, which are several circles larger than the faces of our Ming people. Also, the teeth of these tartars are basically big yellow teeth, and The wear and tear is very serious. Our Ming people eat food such as rice noodles, so the wear of the teeth is not serious. In addition, the Ming people have the habit of brushing their teeth, so there are very few rhubarb teeth. But the Tartars are different. Their food It’s basically beef and mutton, chewing it is not only strenuous, it also takes a lot of teeth. So their teeth are more worn than ours, and what’s more, Tartars don’t like to brush their teeth, so their teeth are basically yellow.”

Wei Yunzhong looked at the tartar heads in the captain's hand, pointed to the pile of tartar heads in front of him, and said, "Do these all match?"

The captain threw the tartar heads in his hand to the ground, and said: "The humble officer has checked all these heads, and they all match."

An hour later, the Dongchang fanzi and the captain of Jinyiwei who had gone to inspect the heads of the tartars all stood in front of Wei Yunzhong.

"My lord, they are all real Tartars, and none of them is a wise man's head."

"How many are there in total?"

"Master, 450 pieces in total."

Wei Yunzhong's hand stroking his beard stopped. He looked at the inspectors and said excitedly, "Is what you said true? Are there really more than 400?"

"Master, there are indeed 450 pieces."

Wei Yunzhong slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Okay, okay, quickly load these tartar heads into the car and escort them to the capital."

Chapter 41

Emperor Chongzhen stood on the Huangji Hall, looking at the civil and military officials standing below, the smile on his face showed no sign of fading.

Now he is refreshed and full of vigor, and he doesn't know where to throw the sad face before.

Now he is standing in the Emperor Palace, like a big red rooster who has won a fight, extremely excited.

He waved his hand, looked at all the civil and military officials, and said with a smile: "My dear friends, have you seen the head of the Tartar that Wei Aiqing escorted back?"

Chief Assistant Shi Fenglai stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Return to Your Majesty, look at it. It really is more than 400 heads of Tartars, and all of them are real Tartars, none of them are murderers who pretended to be meritorious."

"Haha, being able to make such great achievements also proves the loyalty and bloodiness of the officers and soldiers in Xuanfu Town. Regarding their rewards, how is the cabinet research going? Is there a charter?" Chongzhen looked at Shi with a smile on his face. Come on.

"Return to Your Majesty, after such a long discussion, the cabinet has established a reward. I have written all these on the paper, and please read it." Shi Fenglai took out a paper from his sleeve, tall Lifted up.

Cao Huachun took the zhezi from Shi Fenglai and put it on the imperial case in front of Chongzhen.

Chongzhen picked up the booklet and slowly opened it.

After a while, Chongzhen put down the booklet in his hand, looked at Shi Fenglai, and asked, "Why do you only reward Zhao Wen for a small hundred households?"

Shi Feng said: "Return to Your Majesty, this Zhao Wen was just a soldier with no official position before, and now he is a hundred-household officer, which is no small feat."

Chongzhen frowned and said: "Didn't I say before that we should take this Zhao Wen as a role model, not to mention that this Zhao Wen can stand up in a crisis and introduce that tartar into Wengcheng. Such a great achievement only seals a hundred households. Is it unreasonable? This is what Zhao Wen did to lose his head. If this gets out, won’t it chill the hearts of the heroes?”

Shi Fenglai heard Chongzhen's words getting colder and colder, the cold sweat on his head was rushing down, he hastily wiped off the cold sweat on his head, and asked in a low voice: "Then, in your majesty's opinion, what should we do?"

Chongzhen squeezed his beardless chin, pondered for a while, and said, "Didn't the Longmen Fort be breached by the Tartars before? I thought, since this strong man named Zhao Wen has such abilities, it's better to just let him be the one." What do you think of the defense of Longmen Fort?"

"Your Majesty, absolutely not." Yan Mingtai cried out in alarm when he heard that Chongzhen wanted to reward Zhao Wen as the guard of Longmen Fort.

Chongzhen looked at Yan Mingtai with dissatisfaction, and said in a low voice, "Why not?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, although this Zhao Wen has made great achievements, he is still a hundred households. The defense of this fort is comparable to that of a thousand households. It is really inappropriate to be promoted like this. This has been promoted several levels in succession. This is the rule."

"What Yan Aiqing said is also reasonable, but this meritorious service has to be rewarded. The Longmen Fort has been breached by the Tartars, and the entire fortress has been turned into a wasteland. I think this Zhao Wen is a capable person. Why don't you promote him to be a The defense of Longmen Fort can not only calm Zhao Wen's heart, but also turn decay into magic. This is killing two birds with one stone, so why not do it?" Chongzhen said extremely firmly.

Yan Mingtai looked at the resolute Chongzhen, couldn't argue with him, and sighed, "Since your majesty thinks so, I have no choice but to do so."

Chongzhen looked at Yan Mingtai, and suddenly remembered when his emperor brother was in power.

At that time, those Donglin party members used various banners to restrict his freedom.Moreover, they forced the emperor brothers to handle the government and govern the country according to their wishes.If they don't follow their wishes, at least they will scold the emperor's brother as a foolish emperor, and at worst they will force the emperor's brother to issue an imperial edict.Can this sinful edict be issued so easily?

Now, Yan Mingtai didn't dare to refute his own words.It seems that I am indeed more suitable to be an emperor than my brother.If the throne had been passed on to me early, the world would not have become like this.

Emperor Chongzhen secretly thought to himself.

In fact, it wasn't that Yan Mingtai didn't want to refute, but that he didn't have the confidence to refute.

It was clearly written in the victory report document that the first contribution to Xuanfu's victory was Liu Changfu, the eunuch in charge of Xuanfu town, and the eunuch was the emperor's domestic slave.

Therefore, Liu Changfu's reward is beyond their control.And Lu Daliang and Zhao Wen, both military officers, made great contributions under the command of Liu Changfu.

In this way, the victory of the Xuanfu has almost nothing to do with civil servants. Can you, Yan Mingtai, refute it confidently?

Besides, Hou Shilu, the chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion, was so overjoyed that he fell into an ambush by the Tartars and suffered countless casualties.Counting it, it can also be related to the Ministry of War.After all, the Ministry of Military Affairs has the responsibility of knowing people without knowing them.

All these things, plus the great victory of the Xuan Mansion now.This virtually increased the prestige of Emperor Chongzhen.Now, Emperor Chongzhen is oppressing people with power, does Yan Mingtai dare to refute?

The rewards for Zhao Wen and Lu Daliang were the result of discussions between the cabinet and the Ministry of War, and they had no control over Liu Changfu who made the first contribution.

Originally, the civil officials also hoped to suppress Chongzhen in the matter of rewarding Zhao Wen.Unexpectedly, Chongzhen would not accept this at all.Directly overwhelmed people with force and refuted their proposal.

As a result, the civil servants were overwhelmed by Chongzhen.

Chongzhen looked at the officials who fell into silence, waved his hands boredly, and said to Cao Huachun, "Let's retreat!"

Cao Huachun stood up straight, pointed down, and shouted loudly: "Retire!"

Chongzhen walked out of the Huangji Hall, and headed towards the Taimiao with an excited expression on his face, ready to brag about his achievements in front of his ancestors.

......

A few days later, a group of officials on horseback rushed to Xuanfu City.

An eunuch who came to announce the decree stood in front of the general yamen, looked at Lu Daliang, Liu Changfu, Zhao Wen and others who were kneeling on the ground, and slowly opened the imperial decree in his hand.

"Fengtian Chengyun, the emperor, said: Lu Daliang, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, has made great contributions to the country, and is now promoted to the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town. Zhao Wen, was promoted to the defense of Longmen Fort. I hope that the two can serve the country faithfully and fulfill their duties. Appreciate this!"

The eunuch closed the imperial decree slowly, and said to Lu Daliang and the others: "Everyone, get up."

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Zhao Wen knelt on the ground, shouted long live three times, and then stood up.

The eunuch looked at Zhao Wen and said with a smile, "You are Zhao Wen, right?"

"It's down!"

"Sure enough, a hero is born in a young age. He has made such great achievements at such a young age. He is simply envious of others. Do you know that now you are Jane in the heart of the emperor. Originally, those officials were unwilling to give you an official position. This is still The emperor snatched it for you in their hands, you must serve the country well, and don't let down the emperor's painstaking efforts."

The eunuch handed the imperial edict into Zhao Wen's hands, and said earnestly.

"Guard? What kind of officer is the guard? Also, isn't this Longmen Fort the place where the Tartars broke through? I passed by that place before, and it was in ruins. This makes me the guard of Longmen Fort, isn't it? Is it embarrassing?" Zhao Wen looked at the imperial decree in his hand with a depressed face, he really couldn't understand what Emperor Chongzhen was thinking.

At this time, Liu Changfu looked at the eunuch with a strange face, and said, "Why is there no reward for me?"

The eunuch looked at Liu Changfu and said with a smile: "I don't know about this, anyway, the emperor asked me to bring you a message to let you return to Beijing. The emperor has his own arrangements for the specific rewards."

"The emperor asked me to go back to Beijing? Is this true?" Liu Changfu asked excitedly with his eyes shining.

"Can this be fake?"
