After worshiping at the Ancestral Temple, Prince Zhu Biao left the palace and came to Longwan Pier. The ceremony was very simple.

In fact, considering his status as the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said to be crude.

With only one eunuch who was used to his duties, and a team of forbidden soldiers, there was nothing else to do.

But wherever Zhu Biao went, the majesty of the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty was spread.

His figure just appeared at Waijinchuan Gate.

All the officials and soldiers on Longwan Pier turned around.

Ren Hengtai and others, who were originally standing at the front of the pier, waiting for the Northern Expedition army to cross the river by boat, had already walked to the city gate under the leadership of Qin King Zhu Ping.

"Brother."

"I see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Everyone clasped their fists and bowed.

Zhu Biao is a very qualified, even perfect, prince.

As the next generation heir to the empire, he has a perfect political structure and has always been impartial. In addition to being proficient in Wen Tao, he is also well versed in military strategy. He has clear rewards and punishments, with thunderous means and spring breeze blowing in his face.

No one would think that the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty was not qualified.

Zhu Biao got off the horse, put one hand behind his back, put the other hand in front of him, rubbed his thumb on his index finger, and the wrench finger slowly turned.

With a smile on his face, he opened his mouth like a drizzle in the spring breeze in March: "Get up, I went to worship first. I was delayed for a while, and I saw that the Northern Expedition Army was about to come in, so we'd better go ahead and wait.

Come on, take a look at our Ming Dynasty's majestic sons."

"I will take your orders."

Zhu Ming followed Zhu Biao with a smile on his face, while Ren Hengtai and He Jin led the officials to make way.

Li Jinglong and Chang Sheng, as the living princes of the Ming Dynasty, naturally followed Zhu Ping closely beside the prince.

Today, all officials in Beijing are basically at Longwan Wharf.

Except for a certain governor-general of Zhili who stayed at the city gate to control the overall situation and maintain law and order in the capital but had not yet taken up his post.

Zhu Biao was obviously very familiar with this situation, and he calmly walked out of the road cleared by the officials.

With every step he took, the officials on both sides who had been bending down respectfully straightened up.

The power of the Ming Crown Prince is like this.

Arrive at the front of the pier.

Zhu Biao also put one hand on his hip and pointed forward with the other on the river that blocked out the sky and sun, like an endless warship crossing the river.

"came back."

"They're all back."

The prince looked a little more relieved and muttered softly.

Zhu Fang looked at the boss's expression from the side, stepped forward and whispered: "The news from the front, the rules set by Brother Xi are that the soldiers returning to the capital must board the ship first, cross the river first, and disembark first. He brought

Crossing the river with the last boatload of corpses of fallen soldiers.”

Zhu Biao was a little surprised, and took another serious look at the fleet of ships that began to drop sails on the river and slowly sailed towards the pier at the dock.

Under Zhu Ming's smiling gaze, Zhu Biao let out a long sigh, and then the smile gradually appeared on his face.

"After all, I have really grown up and know what to do."

Zhu Feng snorted and couldn't help but echoed: "Although the success of this Northern Expedition lies with all parties, the soldiers faced life and death. The third, fourth and thirteenth children have never returned to Beijing and still stayed in

Outside the Pass, Brother Xi naturally understands that the reason why I am waiting here today is to praise the soldiers who have returned."

Zhu Biao smiled: "That's true. He's just a kid, so he won't let me come to greet him."

aside.

Ren Hengtai, who entered the cabinet from the Ministry of Rites and became the chief minister of the current cabinet, took a step forward and came to the side in front of Zhu Biao.

"Your Highness, the Governor's Office has cleared out all the military camps in the west city. Once the soldiers have entered the city, they can go there to rest and reorganize. The generals with more than 100 households and less than 1,000 households in the army have been placed in the right guard camp of the government to rest. The army

Generals with a household size of more than 1,000 will rest in the Yulin Youwei Camp. During the court meeting, they will enter the palace from Xihua Gate and participate in the court meeting."

These are all things that should be done, and there is no need for Zhu Biao or Zhu Yuanzhang to personally arrange it. The DPRK will naturally handle it according to the usual rules.

Firstly, it is to separate the officers and soldiers who have just returned from the generals, with the intention of disarming. Secondly, it is to take care of the generals who will participate in the reward meeting at the next court, so that they can rest nearby.

Zhu Biao said: "Tell Zou Xueyu again that there will be no shortage of drinks on the dock today. Each person will have a bowl of wine to honor these soldiers.

In each camp, each person is given three bowls of wine tonight and can leave the camp after noon tomorrow. No one can violate this.

In addition, I can't help but eat, and I have ordered the Si Yamen to prepare the manpower. I will feed these meritorious soldiers tonight on behalf of the orphans and Your Majesty."

Ren Hengtai was all smiles.

The nuisance of the grassland for thousands of years was finally eliminated by the Ming Dynasty today. Even though he was the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty cabinet, he could not hide his joy.

"These have been arranged, please rest assured, Your Highness."

clang clang clang.

Bang sounds were heard on the warship.

The horn is whining.

This is a signal that the ship is about to dock.

On the Longwan Pier, countless people's expressions suddenly condensed, and they looked at the huge warship as high as Mount Tai with excited expressions.

This is a day where everyone is united and happy.

Bang.

When the first warship slowly sailed into the trestle, the ship's side hit the shore with a dull sound. Immediately, a team of dock servants who had been waiting for a long time came forward on the pier and tied the ropes lowered from the warship to the trestle.

far away.

On the open space on both sides of the pier.

Each has a row of the latest artillery arranged neatly, with the muzzles facing the river and pointing diagonally towards the sky.

When the warship lowered the ramp and opened the hatch.

On the dock, artillery fired.

A total of one hundred and ninety-eight artillery pieces were ignited at the same time, and a huge roar broke out at the same time, and a sound was heard in the sky.

One hundred and ninety-eight artillery pieces, it seems like there is only one artillery piece.

The generals of the firearms battalion counted silently in their hearts, waving the small flags in their hands at every node.

The cannons fired in an orderly manner at exactly the same intervals.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Solemn.

Solemn.

The grandeur of the country is undoubtedly evident at this moment.

"This is all free money!"

Upstairs at the city gate, Zou Xueyu looked at the thick smoke rising on both sides of the pier and muttered in a low voice.

Except that they are not loaded with shells, these artillery pieces are real things. Every time they are fired, they are paid for with a lot of money.

However.

A smile gradually appeared on Zou Xueyu's face, and he slapped his hands hard on the wall in front of him.

"It would be great if the cannon fire lasted day and night!"

Next to him, Tongzhi, who was about to take over as the prefect of Yingtian after Zou Xueyu was promoted to the governor-general of Zhili, had a silent smile on his face.

If it is true as the governor said, I am afraid that from now on, only the Ming family will be left in this world.

Obviously.

The soldiers returning from the army did not expect that the imperial court would have such a grand welcoming ceremony.

When they saw the flag and guard of honor of the Crown Prince erected on the pier, the blood in their hearts surged.

And when the big red robes came into view, the blood of the officers and soldiers who stepped off the warship started to spurt.

One by one, warships sailed into the pier, put the soldiers on board down to the pier, and then quickly drove out of the pier to facilitate the ships behind them to enter the pier.

The officers and soldiers who disembarked from the ship, under the leadership of their respective battalion lieutenant generals, quickly organized their troops on the pier and arranged them in military formation.

"..."

"Do you mean you have no clothes?"

"I wear the same clothes as my son."

"The king raised his troops."

"Repair my armor."
