A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 302
Chen Xinjia, Ji Shiwei, Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, Wang Dou and others came out of the imperial garden, and Chen Xinjia's faces were still flushed with excitement.

Yesterday the emperor welcomed the victorious army in person, and held a grand celebration banquet that day. Every courtier was rewarded with goat wine.In particular, the place where the first-level Beijing Temple is stacked in the West Market is full of spectators, and even if you want to squeeze a seat, you can't squeeze in.

The Ming court needed this victory so much, and needed to boost the morale of the soldiers and the people, so before the Qing soldiers left the customs, they couldn't wait to celebrate the victory and release their suppressed emotions for a long time.It also declared to all the people in the world that the imperial court is capable of protecting the people.

The relevant meritorious personnel, the rites, officials, and military ministries are still discussing intensely how to reward them.However, yesterday the emperor personally met the meritorious Yang Sichang, Chen Xinjia, Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, Wang Dou and others on the platform, with warm words of encouragement and condolences.

Today, another banquet was held in the Imperial Garden for Xuanda and his party—Chen Xinjia, Ji Shiwei, Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, Wang Dou and others.Let Chen Xinjia and Ji Shiwei be very excited.

Speaking of Ji Shiwei, after receiving Wang Dou's letter, he immediately got up from the town and rushed to the capital in a hurry.The banner under the banner is, of course, to discuss how to arrange for the rescued people.During the Battle of Zhuozhou, Xuan Dajun reported to rescue tens of thousands of people who were taken into captivity, and hoped that the imperial court could instruct these people what to do.

Yang Sichang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, suggested to the emperor that these rescued people should be sent to Xuanfu Town for proper resettlement. After all, there are still Dong slaves raging in various parts of southern Jinan. It's good.

Although Governor Baoding and Governor Zhending strongly opposed it, Emperor Chongzhen of course had no interest in paying attention to their voices of opposition.Emperor Chongzhen deeply appreciated Yang Sichang's old-fashioned words of seeking the country, and immediately agreed with Yang Sichang's suggestion that those rescued Ming people would take a shortcut and send them to Xuanfu Town from Zijing Pass.

However, Ji Shiwei, the governor of Xuanfu Town, who was in a hurry on the road, went to the court. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, the court decided that he would of course obey. Solve this problem properly.

Emperor Chongzhen summoned Ji Shiwei to speak on how to arrange for the people. In addition, the officers and soldiers of Xuanfu Town made great contributions this time. As the governor, Ji Shiwei made a lot of military achievements. above.

From Wang Dou delivering the letter to Ji Shiwei rushing to the capital, he arrived today after traveling hundreds of miles.But once he arrived, he enjoyed the rare glory, and when he came out with the crowd, his steps were still erratic, his face was as red as drunk.

"Your majesty's imperial banquet is a blessing, the king's kindness is so deep, even if we are smashed to pieces, it will be difficult to repay the holy kindness."

This is Chen Xinjia speaking.

He still staggers a little when he walks, which is excited.

After the great victory in Zhuozhou, this kind of great military merit was distributed to him, and he saw that he was entering Beijing and entering the cabinet right now.

Wish is about to be fulfilled, how can Chen Xinjia not be excited?
Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei nodded like chickens pecking rice, and Wang Dou smiled.

Ji Shiwei also said: "Master Chen's words are very true, the king's kindness is so deep, we need to work harder and live up to the holy kindness."

Ji Shiwei looked at Wang Dou with very gentle eyes. This kid, he still heard his big words in the town that day, but in the blink of an eye, what he said became reality one by one.After Wang Dou set off for the expedition, news of his great victories in Tongzhou and Dingzhou came, and he was crowned the champion of the three armies by the emperor himself. Ji Shiwei couldn't sit still.

After the Battle of Julu, there was no news about Wang Dou, Ji Shiwei was restless, and sent out people to inquire about the news again and again.The strange peak rises, Wang Dou wins Zhuozhou, makes amazing achievements, and receives Wang Dou's letter, Ji Shiwei is surprised and happy, and comes quickly.

In the capital, he enjoyed unimaginable treatment. Looking at the envious and jealous eyes of his colleagues, Ji Shiwei was very happy, not to mention how happy he was.More importantly, if Chen Xinjia enters the capital, he will declare the position of governor...

All of this was brought by Wang Dou, so don't mention how pleasing Ji Shiwei is to Wang Dou.

A group of people came out under the guidance of the eunuch, but saw a guard of honor approaching not far away, first a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl in palace costume, Wang Dou felt a little familiar, and thought about it, it was Changping whom Chongzhen had seen ten years ago. Princess?

It was also a coincidence that Emperor Chongzhen met her twice when he gave banquets in the imperial garden.

When the guard of honor came over, Chen Xinjia, Ji Shiwei and the others stepped aside to make way, but the guard of honor stopped. The princess Auntie Zhu talked to Chen Xinjia and Ji Shiwei with a smile, and the two civil servants hurriedly saluted Aunt Zhu and called her Princess Kunxing.

Zhu Yu's eyes turned to Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei again: "The two generals are General Yang from Xuanzhen and General Hu from Jinzhen, right? My palace is in the palace, and I have heard about the reputation of these two generals."

Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei felt that their faces were bright, their mouths were crooked, and they didn't even dare to say it, so they went forward to pay their respects.

Aimee Zhu glanced at Wang Dou, then quickly lowered her eyes, and saluted Wang Dou: "The general is so powerful that the enemy is courageous, and he bravely crowns the three armies. I am very grateful to you. Please accept my obeisance."

Compared to two years ago, Wang Dou saw that Zhu Wei's body had grown a little longer, and her face became more beautiful, but her body was still slender and weak. He smiled and said, "Princess, you are so polite. It is the duty of a humble minister to kill thieves for the country."

Aimee Zhu looked a little shy, but still bowed solemnly to Wang Dou.

Ji Shiwei was a little surprised, his eyes turned on Wang Dou's face, and then on Zhu Yuxi's face.

Chen Xinjia was watching, also blinking.

Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei looked at each other in surprise.

……

After leaving the palace city and the imperial city, Chen Xinjia parted ways with Ji Shiwei, Yang Guozhu and others. He was in a hurry, not knowing where he was going.Before leaving, Chen Xinjia told Ji Shiwei not to forget the banquet invited by Mr. Yang Ge, and Ji Shiwei solemnly agreed.He came to Beijing to live in the post house, and after dealing with the affairs of the captive people, he wanted to return to Xuanfu town.

At this time, the streets and alleys outside the imperial city were still filled with extremely excited people of the capital. Every time they met Xuan Da generals and soldiers, they would flock to them, rushing them into various teahouses and restaurants, and generously paying for banquets.In the past two days, Xuanda's generals and soldiers had a collective holiday, and they could relax and enjoy the glory in the capital. They were extremely warmly received by the people, and in the camp outside the city, there were so many gentry and common people who rewarded them every day.

When Wang Dou and the others came out, they were surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. Even a large number of guards around each of them could not stop the enthusiastic people of the capital.After Chen Xinjia left, Hu Dawei bid farewell to Ji Shiwei first, not knowing where he went.

Next, Yang Guozhu bid farewell to Ji Shiwei, and soon he led his bodyguard Ding Shan away, and only Wang Dou followed Ji Shiwei to the posthouse.

Governor Ji looked outside the house for a long time, making sure that there was no one around, he carefully closed the door, and smiled at Wang Dou: "Wang Dou, you are fine."

He cordially called Wang Dou to sit down beside him, hesitantly asked for a while, and then muttered: "I didn't expect you to achieve such a great victory in Zhuozhou. I think you must be rewarded by the imperial court. You are at least the position of general and general."

He coughed: "This old man dotes on Junjiao's daughter the most in my life. Alas, it's also a sin. She decided to follow you. You didn't hear from Julu, and she almost committed suicide... Forget it, when you return to Baoan Prefecture after the war, you will be killed." Let's get married to Junjiao, things come first, so I can only keep my voice simple, but it's hard for her."

Wang Dou was proud that Ji Shiwei finally agreed to Ji Junjiao's marriage in person. All of this was achieved through his own hard work.

It's just that the daughter of an official is not allowed to be a concubine, and neither is an ordinary wife. Especially the Ji Junjiao incident caused a lot of trouble at the time, and Ji Shiwei even announced that his daughter had died.Of course, he can't marry his daughter with great fanfare, even if he comes to drink wedding wine, he can only use other names.

When he came to Beijing, Ji Shiwei had already discussed with his wife Chu Shi and came up with a good solution, that is, Ji Junjiao recognized the non-mainstream among the civil servants, Wang Dou's friend, and Confucianism in Baoanzhou.Then Fu Mingqi married his adopted daughter Ji Junjiao to Wang Dou as his equal wife.

Fu Mingqi is only an official, not an official. Ji Junjiao is not considered the daughter of an official under his name. Wang Dou married her as an ordinary wife, which conforms to the Ming Dynasty etiquette system.Ji Shiwei worked hard, and this series of roundabout tactics was just to marry his daughter to Wang Dou as his wife.

Of course, this series of actions is well known to outsiders.However, officialdom pays attention to a superficial face. If any official is not sensible and insists that this girl is Mrs. Ji's daughter and she is not dead, it is torn face, and she is the life and death enemy of Governor Ji. Governor Ji's series of revenge It would be brutal.

Even so, with Ji Junjiao's status, this is of course unfair to her. At the same time, Wang Dou was also moved when he heard the news that Ji Junjiao almost committed suicide. She was not wronged in the slightest."

Ji Shiwei glared at Wang Dou: "You still call me Sir?"

Wang Dou understood, and said: "Father-in-law, please be respected by my son-in-law."

Ji Shiwei helped Wang Dou up and sighed. This kind of title son-in-law can only be sacrificed so much when there is no one in private, just to keep Wang Dou by his side.

But today is different from the past, Wang Dou is famous all over the world, in Ji Shiwei's heart, he only sacrificed a daughter, and tied Wang Dou with himself, which is very worthwhile.After the great victory in Zhuozhou, after receiving Wang Dou's letter, this was the consensus of Ji Shiwei's entire family.

After clarifying the relationship between his son-in-law, Ji Shiwei's face became more gentle, but at the same time he was ambitious.I am the governor of Xuanfu Town, and my son-in-law is a brave general of the three armies. In the future, Xuanfu Town will be my own world.Even one day, the entire three towns of Xuanda will be like this.

He looked at Wang Dou eagerly: "I heard that Mr. Yang Ge went to Zhuozhou in person, did he reveal to his virtuous son-in-law how the court will reward him?"

Wang Doudao: "When Elder Yang Ge went to Zhuozhou, my son-in-law asked him for an errand to guard Huailong Road East Road in Xuanzhen Town."

Ji Shiwei felt a little strange, Yang Sichang would definitely listen to Wang Dou?But think about a fierce general like Wang Dou, who would not want to win over the cabinet ministers?It is not surprising that Yang Sichang would agree.

He pondered and said: "Xuanzhen now has the chief soldier Yang Guozhu. Although you have made great achievements, you are too young and inexperienced. The general soldier of the hanging seal, the position of general Zhenshuo, is temporarily not your turn, and the deputy chief soldier is not as good as the real town all the way. It's good... but even if you are a general guard, you should ask Xuan Zhen to guard Daonan Road."

"... Shengshunchuan East and West City, Weizhou, and Guangchang are deep within Xuanzhen Town, and the land is rich. The Huailong Road East Road is adjacent to the northern captives outside the Great Wall. In the seventh year of Chongzhen and the ninth year of Chongzhen, there are many slaves in the East. For the first time, it broke through the side wall of Huailong Road."

Wang Dou smiled and said, "My son-in-law's soldiers like to fight the most. I'm not even afraid of the Eastern slaves, but the northern captives? Not to mention, the Mongolian tribes outside the wall have a lot of horses..."
