7days ago Historical fiction 7
After the court's decision, the various yamen have begun to deploy and prepare.

By the twelfth month of this year, the Ming Navy fleet will arrive at Saigon Port, Zhenla Kingdom according to its plan; while the northern section of the sea route is not smooth, and the remaining time is not enough.

The total strength of the navy soldiers, sailors and other personnel was nearly 30,000, and they were mobilized from Liujiagang to the capital.The soldiers will set sail after a brief training.

The army entered the city from the outer Jinchuan Gate and passed through the Hongwu Gate, the main gate of the imperial city; then left Zhengyang Gate and arrived at the military camp of the Daxian Field.

Some officials arranged a guard of honor at Hongwu Gate. When the army passes, the emperor will inspect the navy.

Zhu Gaoxu took a sedan chair and passed the Qianbuluo Lou to Hongwu Gate.

As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw a yellow umbrella cover, a throne and other objects set up on the Hongwu Gate Tower.

Zhu Gaoxu waited and understood that there was something wrong with the yamen of the Holy War Department and the Honglu Temple and other yamen, because he did not intend to sit on the city tower and prosecutor the army.

He looked up at the city tower for a while, then looked at the sky in that direction, and saw that the sky was gray today and the clouds were pressing very low.

He did not wear a dragon robe today, but he was wearing a green martial arts uniform and a big-brimmed hat on his head.

This outfit is not in the etiquette system, but the emperor is nominally the commander of the Ming Dynasty's official army, so it is not impossible to wear martial uniforms; it is just that this kind of dress only appeared a few years ago.

According to the military dresses formulated during the Wude period, the army was gray and the navy was blue.

Zhu Gaoxu's blue clothes customized by the Weaver Bureau are no different from those worn by the navy soldiers.

However, the accessories on his body are shiny in orange and yellow, making him look even more noble.

The badges cast in pure gold, the gold-jade belt, and the goose feather scabbard on the waist are also extremely gorgeous. The gold-inlaid scabbard is also decorated with various gems and jade.

Even the deerskin boots have patterns.

Since the Tang and Song dynasties, the architectural and clothing in the world have been developing in a complex direction, and Zhu Gaoxu's equipment today is not abrupt.

He did not go up to the city tower. When the noble Zhao Ping brought a brown horse over, he stepped on the stirrups and turned over the horse in agile shape.

Everyone had to walk and quickly followed.

The civil and military officials in Hongwu Gate had no choice but to line up and walk out of Hongwu Gate.

There are many people outside the city gate today, probably people who hear the wind and come to see the strange things.

The imperial court deployed large-scale military operations, and there was almost no possibility of confidentiality in advance, and the noise was too big.

However, Zhen La Kingdom is far away, and there are probably no spies in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

There are many young women wearing oil paper umbrellas on the roadside, who are dressed very well, and many of them can be said to be radiant.

They thought they were the families of officers and soldiers. Because the Ming Dynasty was ethical, young women from a fair family would not crowd on the side of the road to show up.

The navy soldiers were not considered poor. They belonged to the Beijing camp and had military pay. They had settlement fees before going to sea and rewards after returning. The pensions given by the court were not small; they were probably richer than ordinary people.

The crowded people across the street did not recognize Zhu Gaoxu at first.First, he was not wearing a dragon robe, second, the distance was too far and he was wearing a hat, so people probably couldn't see it clearly.

However, soon the emperor's ceremonial guard came out of the city gate, and various umbrellas, signs and other objects were obviously ritual vessels of the royal family.

Those with insight on the roadside may have guessed that the person riding a horse was the emperor. They knelt on the ground one after another, and the people around them followed and bowed.

With a crowd of people on the ground and a large area of ​​his back was exposed, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt a grand scene like a religion.

The soldiers of the Jinyiwei lined up and the plain-clothed Jinyiwei mixed in the crowd were all looking around nervously, paying attention to the safety around.

Zhu Gaoxu acted very calmly and naturally.

Although he has lived in the palace for a long time, he pays more attention to exercise on weekdays and has not gained weight yet. At this time, he still looks improved and strong while sitting on the horse.

As the emperor of the people of the world, his spirit of cheerfulness and majestic image may also be very important, and he can give the world a stable atmosphere of power.

At this moment, the sound of whips sounded, and then the musicians of Jiaofangsi played the song of Jinling in Wanli, and the sound of horizontal blowing and percussion instruments permeated the inside and outside the city tower.

Crack and Crack... The neat footsteps in the distance resounded one after another in the streets and alleys.

The soldiers in a green uniform lined up in the square array and appeared in sight.

The soldiers were carrying muskets, and the general walked on the side of the team with his sword.

The momentum and rituals of the army were very huge, covering up the noise of the crowd.

The war horse under Zhu Gaoxu's seat was slowly moving around, as if it was affected by the momentum, but it was not frightened and ran away.

When the front team walked to Hongwu Gate, they could only hear the shouts of the generals. The soldiers raised their muskets with a loud bang, turned to Zhu Gaoxu and held their fists to salute.

Zhu Gaoxu also immediately bowed his fists and returned the gift.

The scene of purging attracted people's attention, and many people looked up, and there was a noise in the crowd.

The sound of rituals and footsteps were loud, and teams of people kept walking through Hongwu Gate. Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything for a while, and even after speaking, everyone couldn't hear it clearly.

In the lively atmosphere, only the officials of Honglu Temple sang loudly and the shouts of the generals were heard.

Every team of people passed by, and Zhu Gaoxu greeted the soldiers.

The magnificent Hongwu Gate, the civil and architectural buildings hanging on the top of the mountain, carved doors and windows, and the Hanfu dress of the people, are all antique scenery.

However, the soldiers below Zhu Gaoxu had a modern atmosphere in their military dresses; the Chunhan guns equipped with them were just merely mesh guns, but the shiny iron barrels and wooden stocks at least looked like serious guns.

At this moment, there seemed to be a different aura outside the imperial city.

With the combination of classical and modern atmosphere, Zhu Gaoxu did not feel abrupt at all. Perhaps he had already accepted such a scene in his memory.

There was a civil servant behind Zhu Gaoxu who was sitting on the ground and painting hard, leaving the scene at this moment on the paper.

Unexpectedly, a rumbling thunder suddenly came from the sky, followed by a heavy rain of beans, and finally fell from the clouds.

The civil servant who was painting hurriedly began to collect the paintings.

The sound of rain was even more noisy, and the onlookers were in chaos. Many people got up and squeezed under the eaves to hide from the rain.

The eunuchs quickly moved the umbrella over to hide the rain for Zhu Gaoxu.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu looked back at the eunuchs and shook his head gently. He shook the reins and walked forward into the rain.

Because the soldiers were unrestrained, he was unwilling to act too expensive.

The array of naval soldiers on the street has not changed at all. These elite soldiers will not be scattered by a rain in front of the emperor.

In the noisy atmosphere, there were shouts of shouts at some point. Then the soldiers shouted to Zhu Gaoxu in the rain one after another. The shouts were earth-shaking and the lingering sounds revolved.

The rain quickly flowed along the brim of the hat on Zhu Gaoxu's face, but he still held his fist and returned the salute to the soldiers passing by, looking directly at the soldiers, paying attention to the faces of the soldiers passing by.

The people in front of them were all young and middle-aged men, with sufficient nutrition and strong bodies, well-equipped and very good military appearance.Even those who do not understand military tactics should be able to see that the members of the navy are elite officers and soldiers.

The Han army and civilians were usually relatively obedient, but after the imperial court allocated enough military expenditure, the regular army went to sea for an expedition, and no one resisted.

Because of the high risk of going to sea, most of the merchant ships and warships at sea were exiled and recruited refugees as sailors.

This time, the Ming army marched to the sea, using regular Beijing camp officers and soldiers.

Maybe the price is not small, but Zhu Gaoxu thinks it should be worth it.

After the troops of various departments passed through the Hongwu Gate one after another, Zhu Gaoxu turned his horse's head and headed towards the city gate corridor.His whole body had been soaked by the rain.

When he entered the city tower, an eunuch and palace maid came immediately with dry clothes. The eunuch Wang Jinghong advised: The emperor's dragon body is important, let the servants wait for the change of clothes.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately refused: But it was just the next rain.I will go to the university to give a lecture later. After changing my clothes, I will soon get wet again. Why bother with it?

Wang Jinghong looked heartbroken, as if his biological father was wet from the rain, and he continued to persuade him.

Zhu Gaoxu was already a little impatient and ordered: Go and bring me a cup of hot tea, let's go and set off after we drink the tea.

Wang Jinghong had no choice but to bow and say, "I will go right away."

The civil and military officials walked into the city tower to bow and bow, and they could not be praised again.

Most of the civil officials in the Ming Dynasty were in good health and were always proud of overcoming difficulties. For example, they would come to the morning court before dawn on rainy days. If the emperor did not attend the morning court, they would be unsatisfied, so it would be no big problem for everyone to get wet into the rain.

After a while, Wang Jinghong came in with tea.

Seeing that all the important ministers were present, Zhu Gaoxu spoke: The navy envoy who went to Hainan to fight this time was still served by Wang Jinghong, and he has rich experience.The rest are eunuch Meng Ji and others.

Officials agreed.Wang Jinghong bowed and said, "I will receive the order."

Zhu Gaoxu continued: Tang Jing, Wang Heng, Lin Zixuan, Hu Jun, and Ha Tong were the ones.The envoy used Liu Ming to let him go south to make up for his mistakes.

Chen Yan, who was promoted to the position of the Censorate, immediately stepped out and said, "I have reported to the emperor that Liu Ming is waiting for his crimes and has been dismissed from office and is waiting for interrogation at home."

Zhu Gaoxu said: I know.However, I have sent someone to find out that his relatives violated the law and Liu Ming is not aware of it.Despite this, Liu Ming still couldn't escape the relationship, so I let him make meritorious service.You all know that compared to the stability and comfort of the capital, going overseas is not a good job. Think about Qian Xili and the people who went to Zhenla Kingdom last time.Perhaps there are still officials from Jinshi who are willing to act as envoys, but who has the experience of Liu Ming going overseas many times?I just want to do everything I want.

Ministers Qi Tai of the Minister of War, Gao Xianning of the Dali Temple and other ministers successively made public the proposals. So the remaining high-ranking officials had nothing to say, and Chen Yan also retreated to the team.
