Wanli 1592

Chapter 758 The old man will personally lead the horse for you
As a general with a special status, Xiao Ruxun has his own confidence.

After Tumubao, the martial arts nobles bestowed by the Ming Dynasty rarely climbed up step by step by virtue of their ability. Basically, they obtained the title by gaining the favor of the emperor, and then the title was removed after death.

This kind of people get the nobility, which cannot be hereditary, so they can't make any waves at all, while other people who have gone through all kinds of difficulties and dangers to get the hereditary title are very few. These people basically have the ability, Capable, very rare.

But there is one thing, these people have not made any outstanding contributions that are enough for the civil servants to pay attention to.

Unlike Xiao Ruxun this time, what Xiao Ruxun got was enough to shock the entire civil service group, and even caused a huge shock among the people. More than 30 northern captives were wiped out in World War I, and the limelight of the northern captives was severely suppressed. , reappearing the illustrious martial arts of the Ming Dynasty during the Hongwu Yongle period.

No one can obliterate this, and no one can doubt it. If you have any doubts, you can go outside the Great Wall and look at the dozens of towering Beijing Temples. I am afraid that you will never forget that scene after seeing it.

Therefore, even within the civil official group, there are many people who are in awe of Xiao Ruxun. They feel that this person is really terrible. He can get such credit and create such a feat. If he doesn't reward him heavily, it really can't be justified.

So when the award about Xiao Ruxun caused waves, the ministers mainly cared about the word of the title rather than the duke title itself.

All the ministers agree with Xiao Ruxun's contribution, and feel that this contribution is really nothing to say, impeccable, they have no choice but to admit it.

This is a feeling I haven't felt for a long time. I really haven't experienced that feeling of powerlessness for a long, long time.

The emperor ordered that the left servant of the Ministry of War went out of the city for thirty miles to meet the triumphant army, led Xiao Ruxun's horse across the Lugou Bridge, and went to the military camp outside the city.

On the day of the prisoner presenting ceremony, Xiao Daheng, the left servant of the Ministry of War, led the horse for Xiao Ruxun again, and led the prisoner presenting army and guard of honor to Yongdingmen, the main gate in the south of Beijing.

Yongdingmen is the main gate on the south side of the outer city of the capital. It is on the central axis of the capital. It is of extraordinary significance. From the main gate, you can ride a horse upright, and walk all the way down. All are high-ranking officials, and all of them have to walk.

I don't know if they have resentment in their hearts.

It doesn't matter if there is, Xiao Ruxun doesn't care at all.

The prisoner offering brigade and guard of honor moved forward at a constant speed and soon arrived at Yongdingmen.

I don't know what's going on inside the city, but outside the city gate, there are already crowds of people flying with banners and banners. Soldiers in fine military uniform lined up to clean up, with a great momentum, and a lot of onlookers gathered outside the gate. When the army appeared, The people began to cheer.

Cheers from the bottom of my heart for the army and the general who truly defeated the northern captives and protected them.

Isn't this the true meaning of fighting the battlefield regardless of life and death?

Compared with these cheers, it seems that other things are not so important.

Xiao Ruxun was so emotional.

Xiao Ruxun didn't know how the accompanying soldiers, including the generals, felt in their hearts, but there was an emotion called pride and pride, and Xiao Ruxun believed that each of them had it.

Maybe there are some people whose eyes are red because of this.

It's human nature.

From a distance, Xiao Ruxun looked at the welcoming team under Yongding Gate, and saw an acquaintance.

Shi Xing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

So it turned out that the person who greeted me at the second stop was Shi Xing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

Then the next person to greet them is at least a senior official at the Shangshu level.

At a distance of about 50 meters from Shi Xing, Xiao Ruxun said to Xiao Daheng: "Xiao Shilang, it's fine, it's fine to come here."

Xiao Daheng stopped and looked back at Xiao Ruxun.

Xiao Ruxun got off the horse and saluted Xiao Daheng: "Thank you for seeing me all the way."

Xiao Daheng straightened his clothes and bowed to the ground: "The general speaks seriously."

Then, Xiao Ruxun straightened up, led the horse and led the procession towards Shi Xing.

He would never show off in front of Shi Xing no matter what. Although Shi Xing also obeyed orders, he also made great efforts to promote, protect and support him. Shi Xing has always said good things for him. Things like Xiao Ruxun are certain.

No matter whether he leads the horse for him or not, Xiao Ruxun must show enough respect.

Shi Xing also walked towards Xiao Ruxun.

"Xiao Ruxun pays a visit to Shibutang."

"Xiao Zhennan is serious. This old man is the one who wants to see Xiao Zhennan."

The two saluted each other.

"Is Shibutang in good health after so many years?"

When I came to the capital before, due to the urgent time, Xiao Ruxun did not go to the Ministry of War to meet Shi Xing and hurriedly led the soldiers away. It has been several years since I met Shi Xing again. Shi Xing is not much different from what I remember, but There is a lot of white hair on the sideburns.

Life in the capital is not easy at all.

"Thank you Xiao Zhennan for caring. The old man is in good health. I am overjoyed to hear that Xiao Zhennan has made great achievements."

Shi Xing smiled slightly, then stretched out his hand, and said to Xiao Ruxun: "Please mount Xiao Zhennan's horse, and the old man will lead the horse for you personally!"

Xiao Ruxun saluted again, did not refuse, got on the horse, Shi Xing came over and took the horse's reins.

Soldiers blow horns, drums rumble, the procession moves again, and the crowd cheers louder.

Stepping into Yongding Gate is the capital city of the Ming Dynasty. Xiao Ruxun walked through the cave under the guidance of Shi Xing. What you see is a straight road with no end in sight, flags flying on both sides of the road and cheering people.

The cheers became even louder. It seemed that everyone was cheering with all their strength. Drums and horns sounded from time to time, which added a little fighting will to this lively and majestic scene.

And when more than 100 prison vehicles followed by the prisoner offering brigade appeared, the people in the capital once again reproduced the anger towards the northern captives shown in the previous small-scale prisoner offering.

Rotten eggs, radish heads, and rotten vegetable leaves were thrown at the North captive leaders who were tied to the cross with incomparable precision.

Unlike the leaders of the northern captives who were sent before, this group of more than 100 people who had been tortured by the soldiers of the Ming army on the way forward in Datong and the Ming army were neither human nor ghost.

In order to completely knock out their mental energy, Xiao Ruxun let the soldiers full of hostility humiliate and beat them at will, as long as they don't hurt their lives, the soldiers slapped them, punched them, and smashed their teeth. All were blown away, and some were deaf.

As for the remaining ones who are more determined and utter wild words, they just don't admit to being cowardly. Xiao Ruxun also has a good way.

eunuch.

Just like when dealing with Lalik, Xiao Ruxun sent someone to eunuch those who were not honest and bowed their heads obediently, and then let them watch the thing under their crotch being eaten by local wild dogs. ridicule.

There is no better way to polish than this.

As a result, more than a dozen leaders of the northern captives went crazy.
