Overall, Zhu Cixiang was quite satisfied with the performance of the generals.

Whether they can correct it depends on their future performance.

Of course, if he humbly accepts repeated admonitions and refuses to change, Zhu Cixiang will definitely destroy them.

So he specifically warned He Renlong and Gao Jie, the two deputy generals with the worst military discipline:

"Congratulations to Long Gaojie, your military discipline is the worst among the generals. I hope you two will strictly discipline your officers and don't let me down."

He Renlong Gaojie trembled all over and hurriedly knelt down again:

"Your Majesty is wise. I know my mistake. After I return, I will strengthen the education of my officers and men. If they cannot correct themselves, please kill them!"

Zhu Cixiang nodded slightly:

"Okay, I hope you remember what I said today. It's best not to let my queen settle the scores. Let's all be fine!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All the commander-in-chiefs hurriedly thanked him and stood up, then stood respectfully with their hands down.

Zhu Cixiang looked at them and said in a slow tone:

"My dear friends, tomorrow will bring disasters, both internal and external, and it is your responsibility as military attachés of the Ming Dynasty to protect your home and country.

The reward ceremony will be over tomorrow. It has been very hard chasing the bandits every day these past few years. You can spend five days in the capital and then return to your base.

Remember, when you go back, you must thin out the old and the weak, and your troops must be fully replenished. You must train every three days at least, and I will replenish each of your troops with a thousand self-generated fire guns!"

Flintlock muskets were only available to the emperor's direct troops, and now they were equipped with a thousand more for their subordinates. The generals were immediately grateful and hurriedly bowed to express their gratitude:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Even though Zhu Cixi was young, he slapped him and gave him a candy. He used both kindness and power to show off the emperor's skills to the fullest, making these domineering commanders both fearful and grateful.

After chatting with several generals for a while, leaving brothers You Shiwei and Li Shouting behind, Zhu Cihong asked the other generals and lieutenants to retreat.

Congratulations to Renlong, Gao Jie, Zu Dabi and others hurriedly thanked him and left the Chengyun Hall.

After walking out of Prince Xin's Mansion, several general soldiers breathed a long sigh of relief. At this time, their clothes were soaked behind their backs.

He Renlong stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said:

"The new emperor is so majestic. I, Lao He, actually feel short of breath in front of him. It seems that we have to take it seriously, otherwise our head will be in danger..."

Gao Jie bowed his hands to Xinwangfu and said:

"Yes, the new emperor is wise, and the pressure he puts on us is simply beyond description. I will definitely follow the new emperor and have a good time, and strictly control the bastards under his command..."

Zuo Guangxian handed over to Prince Xin’s Mansion and said:

"No wonder the Protectorate Army is so fierce in combat and its official positions have been rising all the way. I am the king of the prosperous age..."

Zu Dabi nodded:

"Yes, His Majesty is mighty and domineering. We don't want to be Wang Pu Liu Zeqing..."

Several general soldiers walked and chatted and quickly disappeared outside Prince Xin's Mansion!

Brothers You Shiwei and You Shilu were left behind. They were even more nervous than before, with their heads lowered and afraid to speak out.

"You two gentlemen, don't be nervous, I'll give you a seat!"

Just when the two were at a loss, they suddenly heard the emperor granting them a seat, and the two hurriedly bowed to express their gratitude:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I don't dare..."

Zhu Cihong knew that they were worried, so he did not force them to sit down. He smiled slightly and said:

"I know that your brothers are loyal to the Ming Dynasty. I have left you with other appointments. I am going to appoint You Shiwei as the commander-in-chief of Jizhen and You Shilu as the commander-in-chief of Miyun. Are you willing?"

Although they are both general soldiers, how can the barren Ningxia be compared with the Gyeonggi region.

Jizhou's general army far surpassed Ningxia's general army in terms of rank and power. It guarded important areas in the capital. Only generals trusted by the emperor could serve.

Brothers You Shiwei and You Shilu felt unbelievable, and after realizing it, they knelt down and thanked them:

"Thank you for your Majesty's grace, I will fight to the death for the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Cixiang stood up and stepped forward to help the two brothers:

"I'm free of charge. If my prediction is correct, Jiannu will definitely conquer the border within a month. Do you dare to fight?"

Youshiwei Youshilu made it clear:

"Reporting to your majesty, it is an honor for my two brothers to die for our country as military generals wrapped in horse leather. Please rest assured, your majesty, if Jiannu wants to enter the pass, he will have to step on my corpse!"

Zhu Cixi nodded:

"I will give each of you one thousand Baigan soldiers and two thousand Qin soldiers. You must always pay attention to the direction of Qiangziling and Qingshankou. You must be loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Once the Jiannu attack in the war, you can resist and retreat for a while, and kill them.

Put it in, and I will have my own plans for what happens next."

The two brothers were overjoyed that they actually sent three thousand strong troops to them, and they hurriedly bowed to receive the order:

"I obey, thank you Your Majesty!"

Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly, and then looked at the Qin Army general Li Shouting;

"Li Shouting, you make me very happy. It was definitely the right decision to send you to train Qin soldiers.

You lead 6,000 Qin soldiers to follow Sun Chuanting to Ji Town, and all will obey Sun Chuanting's command."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I obey your order!"

There were tears in Li Shouting's eyes, but he tried hard not to let them fall.

When the Beijing Camp was reorganized, he was going to be eliminated, but the Crown Prince put him in the Weiwu Camp.

Later, he was asked to follow Sun Chuanting to Shaanxi for military training, turning him from an eliminated soldier into a general.

Now he is already a guerrilla general of the Qin army, and even the battle commander of the Qin army. There will definitely be more room for improvement in the future.

All this was given to him by the crown prince. Without the crown prince, Li Shouting would definitely be farming at home.

He lay on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor three times before getting up.

Zhu Cihong could understand Li Shouting's psychology. Seeing him excitedly paying homage, Zhu Cihong accepted it happily and did not help him.

After a few more words with the three of them, Zhu Cixiang asked them to go back and rest. Brothers You Shiwei and Li Shouting immediately left.

After the three people left, Zhu Cihong summoned the cabinet ministers, the Minister of Rites and others to discuss the rewards for meritorious personnel...

On the second day, a decree was issued to reward the soldiers who entered the capital.

Qin Liangyu was granted the title of Taibao, and Ma Xianglin was granted the title of Baron of Sichuan General Soldier and given a bullfighting uniform.

In this way, having a double noble family in the Ma family is a great surprise to both Qin Liangyu and Baiganbing.

Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shanxi, granted the title of Prince Taishi, Minister of the Ministry of War, bestowed upon Shang Fang a sword, and was transferred to the post of governor of Jiliao.

Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, was granted the title of Bachelor of Wuyingdian and entered the cabinet.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It seems that Hong Chengchou has surpassed Sun Chuanting in this title, which is actually equivalent to losing military power. But Sun Chuanting is a powerful man with a bright future.

The commander-in-chief of Shaanxi Province congratulated Renlong with the title of Left Governor and a bullfighting uniform!

Lieutenant General Gao Jie was awarded the title of Commander-in-Chief of Ningxia and given a bullfighting uniform!

Zuo Guangxian, the commander-in-chief of the bandit suppression, was granted the title of Minister of War, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Yulin, and was given a bullfighting uniform!

Liu Chenghu, the commander-in-chief of Gansu Province, was awarded the title of Governor-General of the Left and was given a bullfighting uniform.

Ningxia Commander-in-Chief You Shiwei was granted the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Left Army, transferred to Jizhou Commander-in-Chief, and given a bullfighting uniform.

Ningxia deputy general You Shilu was promoted to commander-in-chief, transferred to Miyun commander-in-chief, and given a bullfighting uniform.

Zu Dabi, the deputy general of the Guan Ning Army, was given the title of Governor of the Left and was rewarded with a bullfight uniform!

Li Shouting, the guerrilla general of the Qin army, was promoted to deputy general and given a bullfight uniform!

…

The officers and soldiers of several armies that wiped out Li Zicheng were all rewarded. The deputy general and the general were given bullfighting uniforms, and all the officers and men under his command were rewarded with silver, ranging from five taels to one hundred taels. The commanders of each army were rewarded according to their merits.

Zhu Cixiang originally planned to reward the deputy generals and soldiers with some gold and silver, but thinking that they were embezzling military pay and not lacking money, he might as well give him a cool bullfighting uniform.

This award made everyone very satisfied. Although the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Left was a false position, it was also the official position of a first-class military attache, and most military generals would not get it in their lifetime!

On the surface, Hong Chengchou suppressed the bandits and returned to Beijing to join the cabinet. He became the biggest winner and the envy of the officials. Because he was very good at getting things done, many civil servants congratulated him.

Time passed very quickly, and October 1st arrived in the blink of an eye. This was the day when Zhu Cihong held his enthronement ceremony.

After three months of preparation, the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty had prepared everything needed for the new emperor to ascend the throne and just wait for the arrival of October 1.

On the first day of October, the new emperor ascended the throne, and everyone celebrated.

Before dawn, Zhou Yuji sent a mighty battalion to closely guard the gates of the Forbidden City.

Zhang Shize, Huang Degong, and Sun Yingyuan also sent three other elite units of the National Guard Army to garrison various places in the imperial city.

Starting from Zhu Gaochi, Renzong of the Ming Dynasty, emperors of the Ming Dynasty have to hold enthronement ceremonies at Chengtianmen.

Chengtianmen, with umbrellas and ceremonial decorations, a long red carpet on the ground, flags flying at the top of the city, silk ribbons, flags and flowers, as well as well-dressed maids and the Jiaofangsi's band.
