When Chu Ze heard Zhu Di's words, he felt mixed emotions.

There were countless difficulties and obstacles along the way, and we were on the verge of despair several times.

If it weren't for your Majesty's constant trust in me and his full support, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to win this battle.

He suppressed his excitement and knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. This is all due to your wisdom and bravery. I am just doing my duty."

"The soldiers fought bravely and made great contributions. It was their lives that brought us today's victory!"

Zhu Di laughed when he heard this and personally helped Chu Ze up.

"My dear minister, what you said is very good! Victory is hard-won. I will certainly provide good compensation to those soldiers who sacrificed their lives."

"As for the meritorious officials, they should be rewarded generously!"

He looked at Chu Ze meaningfully, leaned in and whispered, "Of course, your reward is indispensable."

Chu Ze was stunned when he heard this and waved his hands quickly.

"Your Majesty, how can I dare to accept this reward?"

"Also, although Alibugha died, the whereabouts of the Sky Eagle is unknown, and the remnants of the Tatars have not been eliminated."

"I am worried."

"rest assured!"

Zhu Di said decisively: "With me here, what are you worried about?"

"Besides, you have made such a great contribution, how can you not be rewarded?"

"How about this? After we return to the capital, I will issue an imperial decree to appoint you as the founding general of the cavalry, and put you in charge of the military and national affairs of the court. How about that?"

"His Majesty!"

Chu Ze was stunned and knelt down quickly.

"How can a humble official take on such an important task?"

"Besides, I'm afraid it will cause criticism and ruin your majesty's reputation!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Di laughed loudly and pulled Chu Ze up.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have been able to rely on you to guide my country."

"Now, we have achieved extraordinary results and turned the tide."

"If you refuse again, wouldn't that mean you look down on me?"

Chu Ze was choked by these words and could only bow and say, "I dare not."

"Your Majesty, since you are so kind to me, I am deeply awed."

"But please think twice, Your Majesty. Can a person like me, who comes from a humble background, really win the support of the people?"

When Zhu Di heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He slowly looked around at the soldiers and suddenly said in a loud voice: "My fellow soldiers, I have something to ask you."

Upon hearing this, everyone knelt down in unison.

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

"Do you know who is the first hero in this battle?"

"Your Majesty, it is General Chu!"

"Without the general's brilliant strategy, how could we have achieved victory?"

"That's right! The general is brave and good at fighting, and he is a master of strategy. He is simply the reincarnation of a famous general from ancient times!"

For a time, there was a flood of praise.

Chu Ze blushed and waved his hands repeatedly.

Zhu Di laughed even more happily.

"In this case, how do you think I should reward General Chu?"

"Your Majesty, of course you should make him a first-rank official!"

"Yes! The general is a man of both wisdom and courage. He is truly a pillar of the country!"

"If Your Majesty does not use him, wouldn't that be a waste of God's gift?"

Everyone was talking at once, clamoring for credit for Chu Ze.

Chu Ze was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes and he was speechless for a moment.

Seeing this, Zhu Di burst into laughter.

"Since the people want it, I will follow the will of heaven and appoint Chu Ze as the founding general of the cavalry. How do you think?"

"Your Majesty is wise! I will die without regrets!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound resounded through the sky like a tsunami.

Chu Ze could no longer control himself and burst into tears.

He knelt on the ground trembling and bowed deeply to Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty's kindness is as great as a mountain. Even if I die, I will never be able to repay you!"

"Okay, everyone get up."

Zhu Di helped Chu Ze up with a smile on his face, looking very loving.

"From now on, you will be my most trusted arm and the backbone of the Ming Dynasty."

"I'll leave my kingdom to you!"

When Chu Ze heard this, his heart surged and his blood boiled.

Once upon a time, he was just an unknown little man.

Now, he has climbed step by step to the pinnacle of power, taking charge of the government and commanding the world.

All this is thanks to time travel!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He, a time traveler, became a trendsetter of the times and a minister of the Ming Dynasty's revival. It was really fate that played tricks on people. There was a will in the dark.

He sighed deeply, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

If he had not traveled through time to the Ming Dynasty, perhaps this prosperous era would have been destroyed by Alibugha.

Although he changed history, he also continued the vitality of the Ming Dynasty.

Isn’t it a blessing that this time and space is reborn because of me?
Thinking of this, Chu Ze's mind suddenly became clear.

He looked at Zhu Di with a firm gaze.

"Your Majesty, although I am of humble origin, I swear on my life that I will serve you with all my heart and soul until my death!"

"This country and this people are handed over to this humble minister!"

"good!"

Zhu Di nodded heavily, his eyes shining.

"I trust you the most, please don't let me down!"

Chu Ze bowed and said, "I, Chu Ze, swear here that if I fail to live up to your majesty's expectations, I am willing to have my head and body cut off, and I will not refuse death!"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will do my best to live up to your trust!"

After saying this, the two smiled at each other, and their minds were connected.

Zhu Di waved his hand, signaling everyone to stand up.

"Well, without further ado."

"Pass on my order, return to the capital immediately and reward the troops generously!"

"promise!"

The cheers came like a tide, drowning the entire camp.

The soldiers were all in high spirits and full of fighting spirit.

The joy of victory lingers in everyone's heart for a long time.

Just at this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard.

"Report!"

A scout came running over in a panic and knelt on one knee.

"Your Majesty, six tribes from the right wing of the Tatars suddenly attacked, with a total of 100,000 people!"

"What?!"

Zhu Di and Chu Ze looked at each other and their faces changed suddenly.

"That fellow Tianying really has a backup plan!"

Chu Ze gritted his teeth and wished he could pick up his gun and mount his horse immediately.

But when he looked at the exhausted soldiers around him, he suppressed his impulse.

To rush into battle now would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

We must return to Beijing as soon as possible to rest our troops and horses before we can fight again.

Zhu Di seemed to see through his thoughts and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, let's go back first."

"There is still a long way to go, there will always be a chance to settle accounts with him!"

Chu Ze nodded and was about to order the troops to withdraw.

Suddenly, a strange laugh sounded in the distance.

"Hahaha, Chu Ze, you didn't expect that, did you?"

"Do you think a mere jade seal can trap me?"

“How naive!”

Chu Ze was startled when he heard the sound and looked up.

I saw the sky covered with dark clouds and countless blood-red lightning flashed across.

A huge black shadow emerged from the clouds, emitting a heart-pounding aura.

"Sky Eagle?!"

Chu Ze's pupils suddenly shrank and he shouted in disbelief.

"How could you still be alive?!"

The Sky Eagle laughed wildly towards the sky, his eyes shining brightly.

"I told you guys, you ants can't do anything to me!"

"Now, let me show you what real power is!"

Before he could finish his words, the sky was suddenly torn apart by countless dark tentacles.

Each tentacle is as thick as a bucket and covered with scales and barbs.

They came like a tide and slammed down on the ground!

"Oh no, get out of the way!"

Chu Ze shouted loudly, grabbed Zhu Di and narrowly avoided the fatal blow.

The surrounding soldiers were not so lucky.

For a while, screams could not be heard.

Countless people were blown away by the tentacles and fell heavily to the ground.

Even more were swept into the air, their heads and bodies separated, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

In the blink of an eye, the huge camp was reduced to ruins.

Corpses were scattered all over the ground, and blood flowed like a river. (End of this chapter)
