Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 891 Will (Eighth)

June [-]th was destined to be recorded in the annals of Ming Dynasty. On this day, Zhu Cihong canceled the morning court meeting. Since the dawn of this day, the whole palace has been busy.

A month ago, Zhu Cihong finally got the definite news that the Ming Expeditionary Force, led by Anguo County King Liu Hongjian, captured Moscow City and the Kremlin.

That is to say, since that day, the territory of Daming has expanded by one and a half times. No one knows how much territory Daming had before than Zhu Cihong.

I still remember that Zhu Cihong suffered from insomnia that night, and the next day Zhu Cihong was holding the panda eyes and still held the court meeting in the Huangji Hall in high spirits. He was like a parrot that just learned to talk, happily telling the officials about the vastness of the Raksha Kingdom in the court hall, And Daming's idea after obtaining such a large piece of land.

The ministers are naturally also happy. For this expedition, the military and household departments have united and tried their best to deliver supplies. The Western Expedition, which took more than a year, has finally come to an end, and they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Because Zhu Cihong would send people to urge the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households every three days, and even threatened them to deliver supplies to the front line on time, and report to him as soon as possible if there was any important news, even in the middle of the night.

For this reason, dozens of officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households have been punished or even dismissed.

Zhu Cihong spent a long time dancing in the court hall, and finally slowly realized a problem, how to manage such a huge territory suddenly?

There were no people there, and it was heard that only a few million people were killed and expelled by his Liu Qing, and there was not a single person for hundreds of miles in the wilderness.

Zhu Cihong has never thought about how to govern a huge and populationless territory, which is simply too difficult for a human being.

Moreover, winters in most areas of Raksha Kingdom are frighteningly cold, and although summers are warm, they are extremely short-lived. Zhu Cihong spent a long time at the court meeting without asking why.

Even the courtiers are not as good as him, at least Zhu Cihong has been to Rakshasa, and knows what it looks like there, and few of these courtiers have passed the customs.

After leaving the court, Zhu Cihong convened the cabinet to discuss matters, but the discussion continued until the afternoon and the tone was still not set. In the end, the second assistant Han Yu said, "Why don't we wait for the king of Anguo County to come and discuss it again", which is the end A meeting of the New Territory.

So from that day on, Zhu Cihong, who had already passed puberty, lived every day like years, looking forward to the stars and the moon, looking forward to the triumphant return of the expeditionary army.

A few days later, the news spread throughout Shuntian Mansion, and half a month later, thanks to the dissemination of the Anti-Affair Factory in the Propaganda Department of the Ming Dynasty, the story of King Dongzheng of Anguo County's one-year expansion of the territory for the Ming Dynasty spread throughout the north, and quickly spread to the south of the Yangtze River .

The restless June was frighteningly slow and hot, and finally Zhu Cihong got the accurate news yesterday that the expeditionary force would arrive in the capital tomorrow afternoon.

On this day, everyone from Jin Yiwei to Wucheng soldiers and horses, from the cabinet to ordinary people, got busy.

The Wucheng Bingmasi (equivalent to the Public Security Bureau of later generations) even distributed a lot of fireworks to the people in the capital. Because of Zhu Cihong's special order, all the people reveled for three days, and they could go out of the city to welcome the expeditionary army with all the officials.

At three o'clock in the morning, Jin Yiwei began to make the final arrangement outside Andingmen, red, green and green were arranged everywhere, from Andingmen to thirty miles outside the city, red silk was used to pave the floor, and colored silk was used as railings.

The road was about six feet wide. Officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War greeted them at the starting position, and then a high platform was built outside the Anding Gate. The high platform was naturally reserved for Zhu Cihong and the cabinet members, and the officials below the high platform greeted them.

The supervisor of ceremonies ordered people to move things under the instructions of a large number of people. This grand event was rarely seen in the 300 years of Ming Dynasty. He knew very well that if things went wrong, Zhu Cihong would definitely be furious.

There are almost ten thousand people in the palace, and he maintains a good relationship with the foreign ministers outside the palace, but combined with the inside and outside, he dare not touch the tiger's whiskers of the king of Anguo County, at least not now. .

Just after the time passed, the people of the capital had already surrounded the Anding Gate with three floors inside and three floors outside, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities worked hard to maintain the order at the scene.

Before noon, more people joined the welcome wave, and the chief minister of the cabinet was worried that something would happen, and before Zhu Cihong came, he urgently dispatched [-] imperial guards from the Peking University Camp to take charge of security.

Since the imperial guards, the order of the people has really improved a lot. At this time, all the imperial guards have been on the battlefield. Everyone's goal is to meet the Anguo County King who has made great contributions to Daming. After watching the excitement, he was caught in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Cihong climbed onto the high platform in his uniform, protected by the Huben Camp and surrounded by the guard of honor of Jinyiwei. He held a telescope in his hand, and waved his hands from time to time amidst the waves of people on both sides of the road shouting long live Smiling at the people, while raising the binoculars from time to time to look in the direction of thirty miles away.

"Here we come! My lord, the King of Anguo County is less than one mile away from us!" Pang Dahai, with his fat body on his back, climbed up to the high platform to announce the good news to Zhu Cihong.

"Well, I saw it." Zhu Cihong also smiled.

To be honest, Liu Hongjian was taken aback by the unprecedented welcome scene. There were so many people gathered on both sides of the road that he couldn't hear what the officials of the Ministry of Rites said to him under the cheers.

After all, as the commander-in-chief, he still has to nod to the people on both sides of the road from time to time, and sometimes waving his hand can attract thunderous cheers from the people.

"Old Gu, do you think we want to be a superstar now?" Liu Hongjian turned to Gu Jia and asked.

Gu Jia has not been in good health for a short period of time. After the big change in the west trip last year, Gu Jia suffered from the root cause of the disease due to prolonged exposure to the cold. Three months ago, she suffered from another severe wind and cold.

If it weren't for Liu Hongjian's special medicine, Gu Jia might not be able to come back.

"Hehe, my lord is now a superstar, and has always been." Gu Jia said gratified.

Gu Jia has heard the word "superstar" twice from Liu Hongjian and naturally knows what it means. From the minister of the Ministry of War to the director of the martial arts hall, Gu Jia has watched Daming go from weak to revived almost the whole time. The trader was Liu Hongjian, so Liu Hongjian naturally deserved this honor, although what he said would make others think he was flattering.

"It's just that my lord... Be careful..." Gu Jia frowned with exhaustion and said half a sentence without continuing.

"Hehe." Liu Hongjian smiled as if he didn't hear it and continued to have fun with the people.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, Liu Hongjian finally saw the high platform under the Anding Gate, and he even saw his father on the high platform.

Dad is really old and still has a cane in his hand. He is almost 70 years old, his hair is gray and his face is wrinkled, but Liu Delong still wears reading glasses and raises his hand to block the sun. The man looked over, as if he was looking for his son.

The expeditionary army dismounted at a distance of three hundred steps from the high platform and walked towards the high platform.

"Imperial decree! The King of Anguo accepts the decree!"
