On the first day of October on the second day, the official surrender of the Awa army was held in the southern suburbs of Awa City.

Zhu Yuanzhang formulated detailed ritual norms of the Ming Dynasty, which naturally included the surrender ceremony. Although the surrender ceremony was only used once from the early Ming Dynasty to the late Ming Dynasty - in the fourth year of Hongwu, Xia Mingsheng surrendered in Shu.

Of course, Zhu Shi did not dare to be comparable to the emperor. He simplified and surrendered according to the etiquette in the "Ming Dynasty Collection" and held a ceremony for surrender.

Early in the morning of that day, Mingjisfaxiu walked out of his military camp, walked to the temporary high platform and knelt down, and handed the watch of Daishu to Shiyi. Shiyi took the watch of Daishu and walked up to the platform and handed it to Zhu Shiyi.

Zhu Shi had seen the condemnation form and asked Mingjisfaxiu to go up to the high platform. He first scolded him, and then announced his pardon. Mingjisfaxiu bowed three times and shouted for a thousand years.

Zhu Shi felt the trouble, so he combined another ceremony with this ceremony into one and appointed him as the prefect of Awa Mansion, although it was just a famous prefect; at the same time, Zhu Shi called Narota to the stage and appointed him as the magistrate of Ren'anqiang Mansion, allowing him to be hereditary.

Mingjisfaxiu and Narota knelt down again, shouted Qiansui, stood up and bowed a few more times, and got off the high platform. Then, the civil and military officials of the Minfan led by He Fu came on stage to congratulate Zhu Shi. Zhu Shi said a few more words and ended the surrender ceremony.

Then Zhu Xiao asked Mingjisfaxiu to hand over the army to Narota and put the people in the army whose family was near Awa Mansion back home. Zhu Xiao chose a large village in the city for Mingjisfaxiu to move in. His wives and concubines, in addition to those who had been occupied, also returned to their original owners. Zhu Xiao arranged several Han soldiers to guard Mingjisfaxiu's residence and put him under house arrest.

Afterwards, Zhu Shi asked Narota to take his army with him to accept Bagan City, but suddenly an unexpected person came to Awa City, forcing him to postpone his itinerary.

"Zhuo Jing, if you are not staying in Yongchang, why are you here for Awa?" Zhu Qing asked.

Zhuo Jing looked at him angrily and said, "Your Highness is moving the royal palace to Awa City. What are you doing in Yongchang?"

"How come you have to arrange the matters in Yongchang? Then come to Awa City with the orphans of the imperial palace and the civil and military officials of the Minfan. Although the orphans had less than 10,000 guards, there were only 3,000 people in Yongchang, and these troops and soldiers' families had to be brought here." Zhu Shi said.

"I have already ordered all these things before leaving. Considering that the climate in the southwest is humid, I ordered the royal palace guards to move the royal palace over in November."

"But there is no need for civil and military officials to stay in Yongchang, so I brought the rest of civil and military officials here except for temporarily setting up the Yongchang Left-behind Office to take charge of the Yongchang Left-behind Office." Zhuo Jing said.

"What did you say have you set up? Yongchang Left-behind Office?" Zhu Qi said in surprise.

"Yes. The palace came to Awa, but someone would have to manage the affairs of the Yongchang Palace for a while, so the Yongchang Left-behind Department was established to temporarily manage Yongchang, Dali and other places." Zhuo Jing said.

"That's good," Zhu Shi said. He was actually a little unhappy about Zhuo Jing's establishment of a yamen without his permission, but the right prime minister of the vassal state had this power, not to mention that he had handed over all the civil affairs there to Zhuo Jing before, and he was blameless.

"And I am here to inform Your Majesty of the newly issued imperial edict to Your Majesty." Zhuo Jing said, while taking the imperial edict and documents from his entourage and handing it to Zhu Shi. Zhu Shi took the imperial edict and documents from his hand, opened it and looked.

After a while, Zhu Shi hummed softly, "Ten thousand people are united,... Report to the emperor, save the Qianshou. Kill all the barbarians and find a title of marquis!"

He snorted again: "The smoke of wolf rises and looks north,... I am willing to defend my territory and open up the border again. China wants to congratulate everyone."

"It is obviously this song that serves the country with loyalty and power. Although the tune is a little strange, why not choose this song as a military song?" Zhu Yu said.

"The generals in Beijing think that ordinary soldiers will not be interested in this song, so they are just one of the military songs." Zhuo Jing said.

"That's right." Zhu Xu said in a daze.

He continued to read the imperial edict and documents and said, "What national flag and emblem have been designed? Is there no flag in the future? And this national emblem, why do you have five dragons entangled together?"

Zhuo Jing couldn't answer these questions, so he could only remain silent.

Zhu Shi didn't expect him to answer, and said, "Since Your Majesty has the order, I will embroider the sun and moon flag according to the pattern in the document and replace the Ming flag with him."

"Is this national emblem embroidered on a hat or helmet? Then embroidered on the helmets of all military generals."

"Your Highness, the national emblem that Your Majesty wants to make does not seem to be embroidered, but made with something, and is buttoned on a helmet or a hat." Zhuo Jing said.

"How can you engrave all five dragons on such a small thing? No material is possible, right?" He was a little confused.

"It seems that your Majesty has not been in the capital for the past three years. His Majesty has made many changes. This year, go back to Beijing for the Chinese New Year and see what new things are there in Beijing." Zhu Shi said again.

He finished reading the rest of the imperial edicts and documents, and felt that there was nothing worth noting. He discussed some matters about governing Awa City with Zhuo Jing, arranged their residences, and worked for a few days.

After all these things were arranged, Zhu Shi said to Zhuo Jing: "Zhuo Xiang, since you are here, Gu is going to take over Bagan City. You can follow Gu to Bagan City and check the situation in Bagan City by the way, and appoint anyone as an official to govern Bagan."

Zhuo Jing was also willing to go to Bagan City to take a look and formulate management methods according to local conditions. So he agreed to Zhu Shi and went to Bagan City with him on the seventh day of the 10th month.

However, when he arrived in Bagan, Zhu Wei had not had time to take a closer look at his first peaceful city, and he learned something bad: the Bogu people captured Magui City and were besieging Ren'anqiang, and it is said that Ren'anqiang City was about to fall.

Of course, Zhu Yu could not allow Ren'anqiang to be defeated by the Bogu people. He immediately said to Mu Ang and others: "We must repel the Bogu people, or even recover the city of Magui. These places are places where Narota are already prepared, so how can the Bogu people occupy it!"

Mu Ang also agreed with his opinion: "Ren'anqiong is the only strong city south of Bagan City, and the Bogu people must not be defeated."

The two of them reached an agreement, and the matter was decided. Because most of the chieftain troops were not brought here, they immediately sent Chu Jie to Awa City to summon the chieftain troops and advance to Ren'anqiang City. But in the end, the result of this military operation was much beyond the expectations of Zhu Qi and Mu Ang.
