When the part about Xiao Ruxun's imperial edict was read out, the generals were stunned at first, then they looked at each other in dismay.
Song Yingchang moved his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Apart from surprise, the generals were also filled with envy. Not to mention the title of marquis, he had earned so much money for the imperial court, crippled the Wei Nation, killed their regent, and killed 200,000 enemies. It would be strange if he did not get the title of marquis. However, the official title in the end was worthy of everyone's careful consideration.
Admiral, Commander of the Imperial Border in Yunnan, Guangxi, and other places.
This was an assignment, a position with real power and belonged to the generals. In the entire military system, Xiao Ruxun was the only one who received the title of "Admiral" in the battle of Korea. In the entire Daming military group, he was the only one who received this title. The battle of Korea could be said to be to pacify the hearts of the people, but this time, what was the meaning of being the Commander of the Imperial Border? Obviously, this was an assignment position that only existed in times of war.
What was the meaning of this position?
Yunnan and Guangxi were the two provinces in the Southern Frontier of the Daming. Imperial Border was easy to understand, but guarding the border was very questionable. Generally speaking, there was a war in the South that needed to be quelled, but there had been no recent disturbances in the South of the Daming. Moreover, the southern Wolf Soldiers who would cause trouble had been transferred to the battlefield in Korea, and were now with the army waiting to be rewarded. Why would the southern Chieftains cause trouble?
Then the answer was very obvious.
Foreign invasions.
There were a few unstable countries in the South. During the Yongle period, the Daming had many vassal states in the South. But as the northern border became more serious, the Daming's attention and power were focused on the North, and their control over the South weakened a lot. Many places were voluntarily given up, and many vassal states were no longer under their jurisdiction, causing a power vacuum in the South. Then, a few small countries rose up and occupied the vacuum, rapidly becoming stronger.
The biggest threat in the Southern Frontier of the Daming should be the Dongwu Kingdom. They had started to have conflicts with the Daming more than ten years ago. Every time they were beaten back, but they would persevere and fight again. The roads in the South were difficult to travel, and it was difficult for the Daming's army to travel far. However, these guys were familiar with the terrain and were good at fighting in the mountains. Every time, they would exhaust the Daming, and they could only expel them, but not kill them all. Therefore, the Dongwu Kingdom had been a headache for the Daming for the past ten years.
It was really difficult to deal with them. The climate in the South was humid, hot, and heavy with Zhang Qi. It was difficult for the northern soldiers to adapt to the climate, and they would often become unacclimatized and their combat power would decrease sharply. Back then, the powerful Ma Fubo died because he could not acclimatize to the climate, and Zhuge Liang was also tortured by the Zhang Qi when he conquered Menghuo.
Therefore, this battle was difficult to fight, extremely difficult to fight. The Dongwu Kingdom was like a piece of sticky candy. It was sticky and annoying, but there was no way to get rid of it. Almost every year, they would invade the Yunnan border of the Great Ming Dynasty. The people and chieftains at the border were miserable, but there was nothing they could do.
Xiao Ruxun had appeared out of nowhere and fought two major battles in a row. He had fought hundreds of battles, big and small, and he had a lot of experience fighting overseas. From this point, it could be seen that he was the best candidate, but …
They had just returned in triumph, and you want to send them out to fight another big war, a war that could destroy a country. You … what do you mean?
The generals did not understand, but the civil officials had already understood and were very calm.
A trace of sadness flashed in the depths of Zhu Yijun's eyes. He took a deep breath and wiped away the last bit of unyieldingness. He regained his calmness.
Xiao Ruxun's thoughts turned a thousand times. He had already understood everything. All of this was a trap set by the civil officials. They drove him to the South so that he could not become the power of the Emperor, but they did not want to give up his ability to earn money. They hoped that he would fight everywhere and earn money for them to squander. They wanted to create a peaceful, friendly, and relaxed environment for them to earn money. For this, they made him fight and kill with all his might.
They gave him an empty title of nobility, and then kept him in captivity with the nobles. Then, he could retire with glory. This was the best ending they had set for him.
Sneering in his heart, Xiao Ruxun faced the Emperor and bowed.
"I, Xiao Ruxun, thank the Emperor for his grace! The Emperor is very kind! "
What else was there to say? It would be better to say that it was very in line with his wishes. It was easy for them to get him there, but it would not be easy to get him back. Xiao Ruxun had made up his mind to start operating the South, the South China Sea Region, and the Indian Ocean Region. If he could succeed, this region would play a pivotal role in the next few decades.
Later, because of Xiao Ruxun's special assignment, the rewards were more or less different. Even Li Rusong's arrival in Liaodong and the title of Earl of Wuwei did not make him feel as excited as he had expected. He thought about the special assignment and Xiao Ruxun's future. His heart seemed to be covered with a shadow. He always felt that he was left far behind by Xiao Ruxun. Even if they were going to be separated from each other, it would be difficult for them to meet again in this life.
Ma Gui was also conferred the title of Earl, and Wu Weizhong, the commander-in-chief of Shijian Town, was also conferred the title of Earl. Deputy General Luo Shangzhi was promoted to Deputy Commander-In-Chief, and Liu Gu also received the rewards that he deserved. All the 187 generals who had performed meritorious service received the rewards that they deserved.
After the reward ceremony, it was almost time for the triumphal ceremony to end. The final ending of the war was also coming to an end.
More than 50 high-ranking members of the Japanese Army, including Yukita Hideka's family, were beheaded by the executioner. More than 50 bloody heads were sent to the Emperor. Zhu Yijun looked at these heads with disgust and then looked away.
The rest of the officials looked at these heads with arrogance and disgust.
At this moment, everyone faced the heads of these hateful, shameful, and pathetic losers with the attitude of a victor.
The official from the Ministry of Rites looked down at these heads with arrogance and disdain. Under the gaze of these heads, who had died with grievances, he stepped onto the platform and unfolded the edict he was going to read. With an edict to exterminate the Japanese, Daming announced the triumphal ceremony and the final end of the war in Korea.
Subordinate Fengchen Hideyoshi, the clown of Dongyi, dared to make trouble, stole the Shang Dynasty's fief, and enslaved the islands.
With the ambition of recommending food, he spied on our vassal states.
The Emperor's army marched on land and water, using both righteous and strange means. Divided into four, united as one, we burned their grain and thinned their nest.
If they were evil, they would be annihilated, and the chieftains would flee in the night.
The virtue and prestige of the Han family spread far and wide. Apart from obtaining the first merit, they were conferred the title of Jingguan Guan. They also executed Fengchen Hideyoshi and the other fifty-five people. Their corpses were left on the street, and their heads were spread all over the world, forever setting a warning against evil and treason, greatly venting the anger of the gods.
In terms of drama, our country's benevolence is vast and mighty. Those who are obedient will help without difficulty. Those who are righteous and brave will be defeated no matter how strong they are!
