The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 416 Prisoner Surrender Ceremony!

Parade through the streets to boast of your achievements and let your reputation live on forever.

This is even more fascinating than the parade in Zhuangyuan Building!

After all, this is a great victory that determines the fate of the Ming Dynasty!

Enter the city from Yongding Gate and go straight to Zhengyang Gate in the inner city.

According to common sense, the army was not allowed to enter the Zhengyang Gate. At most, Tang Hao could lead some elite troops to escort the prisoners to the Wumen Gate to surrender them.

However, this time, Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao rejected all objections and said that he wanted to meet in person these soldiers who fought bravely for the Ming Dynasty and defended their country.

In addition, since the Beijing army was the emperor's personal army, such a move was not considered to be too contrary to etiquette. Therefore, this iron-blooded army, which broke the backbone of the Mongols in one battle, also passed through the Zhengyang Gate in a mighty manner and headed straight for the Wumen Gate.

At this time, on the Fengtian Hall Square behind the Meridian Gate, the Ming Emperor, Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao, had already been waiting at the Meridian Gate with his ministers.

In fact, due to Zhu Houzhao's strong intervention, this prisoner presentation ceremony already had many problems that were not in line with etiquette.

But all of this was no longer a problem under the threat of Zhongshan Hou's great victory.

What else could be the problem?
That tyrannical Marquis of Zhongshan has returned to the court!
And they are returning with a stunning victory!

Even the little Mongolian prince who roamed the grasslands and was a great threat to the Ming Dynasty was captured alive by this Marquis Zhongshan. His fighting power is so terrifying that it is simply frightening!
Anyone who dares to make any small moves at this time will inevitably be struck by thunder from the emperor and Marquis Zhongshan!

Just like now, the emperor leads his ministers to personally welcome him in front of the Meridian Gate. This has never happened before in the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the key to offering captives is the word "offering". If the emperor comes to welcome them personally, there is no point in offering captives.

But His Majesty Emperor Zhengde just liked to do this. He wanted to see with his own eyes what happened to the little Mongolian prince!
"Here they come!" The sharp-eyed officials clearly saw that at the end of the Meridian Gate Square, weapons appeared!
At the same time, the rumbling sound of war drums began to sound. This drum sound was not from the palace music, but came from the victorious soldiers of the capital army returning to the capital!

The drums sound before the soldiers arrive!
dong dong dong!
The mighty sound of war drums, coupled with the orderly footsteps, and the approaching mighty army formation were like a looming mountain, pressing down on many court officials to the point that they could hardly breathe!
A bright light flashed in Zhu Houzhao's eyes!
These are the soldiers of the Beijing Army created by him and the barbarians!
These are the elite troops who broke the backbone of Mongolia in one battle and captured the little Mongolian prince alive!
"Gentlemen, follow me to review the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Houzhao mounted his horse, and a group of court officials followed closely behind him.

Outside the Meridian Gate, the majestic military formations were lined up, and the mighty military power was displayed so nakedly in front of the Ming Dynasty's central government for the first time.

An Guo, Tang Mu, Ma Yong, Deng Boyan and other generals each commanded an army formation. Suddenly, a series of earth-shaking shouts rang out in unison, the ministers changed color, and the heaven and earth were silent!
Zhu Houzhao's face flushed with excitement, and he couldn't help but wave his fist vigorously. These scenes made the court officials who followed him look complicated.

Finally, they returned to the Meridian Gate Tower, where the emperor led all the officials to stay. Then the ceremony of presenting captives officially began.

Mongolian Dayan Khan Batu Mongke and a group of Mongolian dignitaries, once the invincible grassland figures, were now all in shackles, kneeling in front of the two-legged sheep of the Ming Dynasty, whom they once disdained, and kneeling before the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

The Minister of Rites Zhu Youqiu held the imperial edict in his hand and shouted it out loudly, listing all the crimes of the Mongols and then talking about the great merits of this battle, that is, rewards and punishments, and finally set the tone for the prisoner presentation ceremony.

Dayan Khan Batu Mengke looked up at the direction of the city wall and saw the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty sitting on the dragon throne with his head held high.

Perhaps feeling the gaze of Dayan Khan Batu Mongke, Zhu Houzhao stood up fearlessly, walked to the gate of the city wall, and looked coldly at the damn little Mongolian prince!

It was this person who brought endless humiliation to his father, Emperor Hongzhi, and brought disgrace to the Hongzhi dynasty!
"Little Mongolian Prince!"

"When you attacked the border towns of the Ming Dynasty and massacred the people of the Ming Dynasty in the past, did you ever think that this day would come?" Upon hearing what the Ming Emperor said, Dayan Khan Batu Mongke just sneered.

"Emperor Ming!"

"You're just luckier!"

"If there hadn't been the Marquis of Zhongshan, if there hadn't been the soldiers of the capital army, if the right wing of Mongolia hadn't rebelled...how could this Khan have been defeated?"

Dayan Khan Batu Mengke felt extremely regretful.

He should have listened to the advice of his third son, Barsbrot, put aside the grudges between the left and right wings, and get rid of the Ming army first!

But the problem is that the Ming Dynasty has been weak since the Tumu Incident. Not to mention going out to fight, they could only hide behind the city walls when the enemy came to their doorstep and watched their compatriots being slaughtered!

Who could have imagined that these weak Ming troops actually had such a terrifying group of Beijing troops!

One hundred thousand cavalry!
That’s a hundred thousand cavalrymen!

The Ming army only had 30,000 combat soldiers!

In the end, the loser turned out to be Dayan Khan Batu Mengke!
No matter who it is, no one can accept such a cruel result!
In the face of Dayan Khan Batu Mongke's ridicule, Zhu Houzhao laughed uncontrollably.

"I am lucky?"

"I promoted Marquis Zhongshan myself!"

"The soldiers of the Beijing Army were trained with my own money!"

"So, I am not lucky, I just keep working hard!"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Dayan Khan Batu Mengke and said, "All these excuses you made are meaningless!"

"Victory is victory, defeat is defeat, and you, the little Mongolian prince, Borjigin Batumengke, will also pay the price for your past evil deeds!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, and someone immediately came forward and dragged Dayan Khan Batu Mengke away.

His mission is far from over. The emperor still has to offer captives to the imperial temple. Once the process is completed, there is only one last step left: take them to the execution ground and execute them immediately to appease the public anger!
Before the emperor presented the captives to the Taimiao, there was of course one more thing that needed to be done, and that was for the Ming Emperor to enthrone the new Khan of Mongolia in the name of the legitimate sovereign and vassal state!
Balsbrot had long known his responsibilities and mission, so he did not make any provocative moves. Instead, he knelt down on the ground obediently and asked for the emperor's enthronement.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and gave the Minister of Rites Zhu Youqiu a look.

Prince Xing was so excited that his body was shaking, and his voice was trembling when he read the imperial edict.

There is no way, this is the imperial edict to enthrone the Great Khan of Mongolia!
From then on, Mongolia became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty!
The century-long feud between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia finally had a winner today!
Everyone present looked towards the burly figure, Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao!

If it weren't for him, how could the Ming Dynasty have ever had such a glorious moment!
Next, is the highlight of today!

That is to reward the three armies and reward meritorious soldiers!
This battle was undoubtedly a resounding victory!
He killed tens of thousands of Mongolian Tartars, captured countless captives, and captured the little Mongolian prince alive. The fate of the country was determined in one battle. It was truly an incredible achievement.
