The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 84

The Emperor Longyan was very happy, so naturally many people were honored.

It goes without saying that Wang Chengen, Cao Huachun, Shen Liangzuo and other eunuchs were rewarded, Fang Zhenghua, Li Ruolian and the four captains were all promoted.

The eunuchs and Jin Yiwei are the emperor's minions, and the emperor does not need to go through the cabinet to give benefits, let alone the opinions of the ministers.

Fang Zhenghua was promoted two ranks in a row to become the eunuch of the Royal Horse Supervisor, his status was second only to the eunuch of the palm seal and the supervising eunuch, and he was the third person with real power in the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

Li Ruolian also skipped wiping hundreds of households and directly became a hundred households of Jinyiwei, Xuxu became a thousand households, and the four school lieutenants were promoted two ranks in a row to become small banner officers with the title of general banner.

When the emperor learned that the head of Jiannu and Huang Han, who was still stationed five miles outside Guangqumen, had been seized, he had an idea.

He was going to show respect to the cavalry who fought bloody Jiannu, so he allowed the Huang Han tribe to ride horses into the capital tomorrow, and take the heads of Jiannu and Tartars to ride straight to Chengtianmen.

Cao Huachun, Wang Chengen, Fang Zhenghua, etc. couldn't help but change their faces when they heard the words, and they rode straight to Chengtian Gate, which is the highest honor for civil servants and military commanders, riding a horse on Chang'an Street!
Tiananmen was called Chengtianmen in the Ming Dynasty, which means that the real dragon emperor was ordered by heaven, and it was the gate of the imperial city.

There is another hall besides Chengtian Gate, called Daming Gate, and there is another gate on the left and right sides of the gate, the left is called Chang'an Left Gate, and the right is called Chang'an Right Gate.

The side street from the left gate of Chang'an to the right gate of Chang'an is Chang'an Avenue, which means long-term peace and stability.

As early as the 18th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, when Emperor Yongle Zhu Di established Beijing as his capital, the royal family carefully arranged such a side street running east-west in front of the imperial city.

The young Emperor Enzhun and the young military officer Huang Han beat his horse on Chang'an Street to show his honor.
Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian had just left the Forbidden City after meeting the Holy Queen, and found that there were too many people waiting at the gate of the palace early.

The visitors were not only the four eunuchs who had returned to the capital first and the Jin Yiwei of Li Ruolian's General Banner, but also many high-level eunuchs and the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Luo Yangxing, were waiting.

This time the emperor's ministers and the emperor's own army showed their faces, and the eunuchs and Jin Yiwei were honored with each other. When they saw Fang and Li, they warmly invited them to drink and meet the wind.

Fang and Li were quite kind, they politely rejected the kindness of their colleagues on the grounds that the emperor still had something to explain, and they asked Shen Liangzuo, the admiral of the Nine Gates, to let them go out of the city.

Because Huang Hanbu will be parading through the streets with his horses tomorrow, there must be some preparations tonight.Letting Jin Yiwei out of the city is completely different from letting soldiers and horses into the city, Shen Liangzuo immediately gave the waist card.

Fang, Li and the four lieutenants were more enthusiastic when they saw Huang Han again. Behind them was a general banner brocade guard who was driving six or seven carts loaded with pigs, sheep and fine wine.

Fang Zhenghua said happily: "Master Huang, great joy! Our family will be able to face the saint today. The emperor's face is full of joy, and the emperor's grace is so great! The emperor ordered Master Huang to bring his subordinates into the city tomorrow to repay the victory. I also give you a special honor." Take the 'Red Banner Army' and ride straight to Chengtianmen."

Li Ruolian enviously said: "This is Chang'an Street! Mr. Huang will become famous tomorrow, and this is the first time that the Holy Son of Heaven is so generous!"

Huang Han was very excited, he could finally make his mark in the Ming Dynasty, finally he did not waste these few months of life and death in vain.

Tomorrow, the "Red Banner Army" can be displayed in the image of a hero in front of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the capital, and the benefits are self-evident.

In the feudal era when there was no news, fame was especially important. Of course, Huang Han had to make good use of this rare opportunity to show the budding "Red Banner Army" of an iron army in front of millions of soldiers and civilians in the capital.

Huang Han said loudly to the surrounding soldiers: "Brothers, did you hear that? We were born to kill slaves and Tartars to serve the court and have not been ignored. Now the Holy Son of Heaven has remembered the 'Red Banner Army' and gave our army horses A high honor for Chang'an Avenue."

The soldiers shouted in unison: "The Holy Son of Heaven is all victorious, and the Great Ming is all victorious!"

Fang Zhenghua laughed and said: "In Jiulitai Village, Master Huang invited our family to eat barbecue and drink spirits. Today it's our family's and Li Qianhu's turn to invite brothers back. Come on, everyone, you are welcome, we are all fighting together Pao Ze, let's get drunk today."

Huang Han said: "Eunuch Fang, let's not be too busy drinking, face to face tomorrow, the 'Red Banner Army' has to pack it!"

"What does the packaging mean? Master Huang, just ask. Now that we are in the capital, I believe there is nothing our family can't get."

"I would like to ask my father-in-law and Li Qianhu to send people back to the capital to buy three to five hundred scarlet cloaks. Think about it, when we enter the city tomorrow, the scarlet cloaks are fluttering in the wind and the red flags are waving in the wind. How shocking that scene will be. Pull the wind!"

Li Ruolian said: "Putting the wind? This word is so fresh. But our Jinyiwei was not allowed to go straight to Chengtian Gate! How can we enter the city with the 'Red Banner Army'?"

Huang Han said flickeringly: "I didn't let all your brothers from the General Banner come. You, Eunuch Fang, Lou Yun, and Ai Guodong are all members of the 'Red Banner Army' who made meritorious service together. Tomorrow, we will enjoy the welcome of the soldiers and civilians of the capital together." Why not, the Son of Heaven didn't ask you to leave Baojie's team by name!"

Fang Zhenghua nodded and said, "That's true. Tomorrow will be the most revealing day. Our family will also put on a red cloak and enter the city."

Lou Yun and Ai Guodong hurriedly yelled: "We are indeed heroes who killed and built slaves, and we are not just pretending to be fools. Li Qianhu, whether you agree or not, we should also wear red cloaks Be decent for a while."

Li Ruolian said: "Damn, since everyone wants to show off, what are you waiting for, go back to the city and get a big red cloak!"

Fang Zhenghua was afraid that there would be trouble, and the Red Cloak would not be able to keep up with the "Red Banner Army" entering the city, and he would not be able to drink and go back with the Jinyiwei troops.

As soon as Jin Yiwei and the eunuchs left, the camp of the "Red Banner Army" was boiling. The soldiers burst into laughter, and the fool grinned like a lone wolf howling at the moon.

"Brother Han, I've never been to the capital, so I didn't expect to enter the capital with such a beautiful appearance. Damn, it's such a pleasure."

Liu Fenyong and Yuan Siming's lips trembled with excitement. They punched each other and wanted to say something, but they found their throats were choked.

Sang Yu, who had just joined the "Red Banner Army" not long ago, was really good at bowing horses. He shared the first-level slave vest with three robes for the first time in battle, and he himself cut down a slave while chasing the fleeing enemy army. Step armor, a flag Ding.

Sang Yu counted on his fingers to become a small flag officer of the "Red Banner Army" for seven or eight days. Unexpectedly, he would have the opportunity to meet the Holy Son of Heaven. He shouted: "It's a bright future to work with Lord Huang! We must be ancestors! Jide has arrived."
