Daming Military Empire

Chapter 290 The Great Army Triumph
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, and with the grand wedding to be held a few years ago, Zhu Cijiong's eagerness can be imagined. After returning to Khan Court, he hastened the processing of Monan's aftermath. send to:
First of all, he ordered the Henan Reserve Corps, Shaanxi Reserve Corps, and Shanxi Reserve Corps to take turns to garrison the bastions of the three major grasslands. round.

At the beginning, 1 people were stationed in each bastion to defend hundreds of thousands of Manchurian and Mongolian allied forces. Now there is no foreign race in northern Xinjiang with such a strong strength. Of course, there is no need to station 1 people in each bastion, 5000 people are enough. .As for the equipment, there are ready-made artillery bastions. The three musket corps were originally equipped with tens of thousands, plus the more than [-] imitation Type [-] and Type [-] flintlock guns seized from the Qing army, it is enough.

Then, he ordered the cavalry of the Guanning Army and Tianxiong Army to go to the battlefield with the Manchurian and Mongolian Allied Forces to build a cemetery for the fallen martyrs in Monan as a place for future generations to pay tribute to. Pensions, everything is doubled as it was said before the war!At the same time, he also ordered the Ministry of Industry to give priority to the families of the fallen soldiers when expanding the recruitment of mine managers and chores in various places, and to give them preferential treatment.

Then, he issued a decree to set up the Monan Proclamation Chief Envoy. As for the division of prefectures, counties and townships and the selection of officials, he left it to the Ministry of Officials. So far, the territory of Ming Dynasty has expanded to two capitals and fourteen provinces plus two The territory of Zhili Prefecture, Liaodong Fengtian Prefecture and Dongfan Chengtian Prefecture has almost expanded to what it was in its heyday.

Then, he ordered the Ministry of Industry to send officials to convert the original Manchu Qing military factory into a simple steelmaking plant, and organized the Manchurian Qingzhuang to dig iron ore and coal mines. As for safety issues, the reserve corps stationed in the nearby bastion was responsible. In other words, the reserve corps not only guarded the bastion, but also sent some troops to each mine to maintain law and order.

Then, he ordered the Dingliao Army to escort 25 captives from the central part of the Chahar Grassland, that is, the location of the Manchu Khan Court, to build a railway leading to the Horqin Grassland. Start by building a railway to Hailar Grassland.

In the end, he ordered the Guanning Army and the Dongjiang Army to withdraw to Liaodong and garrison on standby, and the Tianxiong Army and the First Frontier Army Corps to withdraw to the Beida Camp and garrison on standby.

So far, the trip to northern Xinjiang, which lasted more than a month, finally came to a successful conclusion. Zhu Cijiong ordered the accompanying First Guard Army Corps, Dingliao Army, Guanning Army and Tianxiong Army cavalry to pack up and escort the Manchurian and Mongolian prisoners of war. , Battalion set off, rushed to the capital.

The leader of ZTE returned triumphantly. As soon as the news was released by the "Beijing News", the whole Ming Dynasty exploded. From Jizhou to Tongzhou, people from all over the country spontaneously rushed to the sides of the official road to welcome them; even in Nanzhili, Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other provinces, many civilians rushed to the capital by train at their own expense!
Some smart traders immediately discovered the business opportunities. They bought countless flowers from Lingnan and even Nanyang, and used trains to pull them along the line from Beidaying to Beijing.

All of a sudden, there were flowers waving, colorful flags flying, and cheers constantly along the way, so that Zhu Cijiong had to order someone to dismantle the wooden car on the dragon chariot to protect the wind and snow, and only set up a canopy, braving the cold wind and standing on the ground. Ruixue smiled and waved all the way until she entered the imperial city.

At this time, Zhu Cijiong's face was stiff from laughing, and his hands were about to cramp. The distressed Qin Mingyue, Princess Anna, Chen Yuanyuan and others surrounded him and pressed, rubbed, kissed, and hugged him. Warm in my arms, it took me a long time to recover.

The cold energy is relieved, but Zhu Cijiong feels that he is more uncomfortable. You must know that the people around him are all super beautiful women, and they even take the initiative to give him tofu. Fortunately, Zhu Cijiong's will is strong enough, otherwise he might not be able to hold it.

However, this is just the beginning, and it will be called suffering in the next few days, because the beautiful girls from all over the country have already been selected, and the empress dowagers of the two palaces have already screened him, and he will have to look at them personally and award them with grades.

Only now did Zhu Cijiong know that the Ming Dynasty inherited the laws and regulations of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and there were regulations on the number and grade of concubines in the harem.
A queen, known as a thousand years old, with the same rank as a prince;
An imperial concubine, the same as the county king;

Two noble concubines, the first grade;
Four concubines, the second rank;
There are eight concubines and three grades;
Zhaoyi 26, the fourth grade;

Jieyu 26, the fifth grade;

There are 26 nobles, the sixth grade;

26 beauties, seven grades;

A total of 120, these are his official wives, which means that he will marry 120 wives at a time!In addition, a variable number of talents can be sealed, and other maids can be selected to sleep at will, which is the so-called selection of servants, and the number is not limited.

Like Zhu Cijiong's biological mother, she was only Concubine Rong at the beginning, and she was promoted to imperial concubine after she gave birth to him. Zhu Youjian and Zhu Youxiao were brought up by Li Xuan from the East and West Palaces. It was only the selection of servants in the East Palace, who were later named talents.

Zhu Youjian, who has so many wives, feels his scalp tingle just thinking about it, and what makes his scalp tingle even more is that the empress dowagers of the East and West palaces each chose for him a thousand local beautiful women from Ming Dynasty and five hundred Dongying, North Korea, and Ryukyu women. Waiting for the beautiful girls of the subordinate country to completely follow the ancestral system and gather the number of three thousand beauties!
Three thousand, do you want to be so formal!In fact, there were very few emperors of the Ming Dynasty who chose so many beautiful women before him, but who called him the master of Zhongxing? The master of Zhongxing couldn’t follow the ancestral system, so there are still a few emperors who can do it. Besides, he can With two queen mothers, can he not have enough people in the harem?

The empress dowagers of the two palaces were going crazy thinking about their grandchildren, so as soon as Zhu Cijiong came back, he was ordered to choose a wife without dealing with anything; the issue of the emperor's heirs has always been one of the most important issues in the past. Therefore, none of the civil and military officials objected, and they unanimously agreed that the emperor should first draft girls!
Zhu Cijiong had to start the arduous work of choosing wives on the second day after he came back. He had to choose 120 wives among these 110 beauties. Yes, because the queen has already been appointed, that is, Qin Mingyue, Princess Anna was wronged when she became the imperial concubine, and Chen Yuanyuan, Li Xiangjun, and Dong Xiaowan were also appointed as concubines as early as last year's Chinese New Year, but 120 were also in three One thousand beauties were selected, and five of 110 were also selected among three thousand beauties. It seems that there is no difference, and the workload is the same!
