When all the officials heard the good news, they were all very excited. They all held up tooth plaques and sang loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live my emperor!"
Zhu Youjian stood in front of the throne and looked happily at the civil and military officials who congratulated him. After hearing such a good news, the civil and military officials seemed to be more pleasing to him. Previously, Zhu Youjian had lost his city and was in trouble.
The inspector almost found these useless officials disgusting.
Zhu Youjian walked back and forth a few steps, laughed, and sat back on the throne.
"As a result, Dong Nu was severely damaged and will not be able to recover for two or three years!"
"Let these Tatars know how powerful my Ming Dynasty is, and let them know how to fear the power of God! Next time they want to rob Jifu, they must think about it again!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"
All the officials bowed their hands to the Emperor again, sang Long Live, and congratulated the Holy One on this great victory.
"Li Zhi has done a great job! I am very happy! He was promoted to the rank of first-grade governor and magistrate, and he was rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, a set of python clothes, a jade belt, and a black gauze hat!"
Liu Yuliang said loudly again: "Your Majesty, there are hundreds of meritorious service personnel below Li Zhi, and they have different levels of capture and execution."
"Commanding Li Xing, a minister, he led 3,000 servants in battle, captured and killed 721 Dongnu, and 862 Mongolian soldiers. Tianjin Governor Cha Dengbei recommended that he be promoted to the commander of the guards."
Zhu Youjian nodded and said: "It's accurate!"
"Zheng Kaicheng of a thousand households led 3,000 servants and captured and killed Dongnu 672nd level and Mongolian soldiers 737th level. The governor of Tianjin, Zha Dengbei, recommended that he be promoted to the rank of guard commander."
Zhu Youjian said loudly: "Accurately, always accurately, and you will be rewarded according to the reward you prepared for the performance."
Liu Yuliang bowed and sang: "I also have a memorial here from Li Zhi, the commander-in-chief of Tianjin."
"oh?"
Zhu Youjian didn't know what Li Zhi was going to say, so he asked anxiously: "What did Li Zhi say?"
Liu Yuliang slowly opened the memorial and said: "Li Zhi is asking the emperor to withdraw from Tianjin West Road and set up an additional garrison at Fanjiazhuang, with his younger brother Li Xing in charge."
When Zhu Youjian heard this memorial, he smiled and said: "Li Zhi has become the commander-in-chief of Tianjin, but he still can't forget the little Fanjiazhuang!"
Zhu Youjian was in a good mood, waved his hand and said: "According to the report, I will appoint the guard commander Li Xing to guard Fanjiazhuang! Withdraw Tianjin West Road! Merge it into Tianjin Middle Road."
After thinking about it, Zhu Youjian said: "Summon Li Zhizhi in Beijing, I will summon him on the platform!"

On December 18, Li Zhi received the emperor's imperial edict to reward him, and received the python robe, jade belt, black gauze hat and gold.
From then on, Li Zhi was a high-ranking official in the first rank of the rear military governor's office, only one step away from the highest position of military attache, the left and right governor.
Li Xing, Zheng Yuan and other officers of the Huben Division and the executives of Li Zhi Industry all waited for their awards. Each of them was promoted one or two levels. They were very excited.
However, there were too many official uniforms, and the eunuch didn't bring them, so the military attachés had to go and take charge of them themselves.
After seeing off the eunuch who announced the decree, Li Zhi came over to take a look at the python robe.
The python suit was bright red, made of fine satin, and embroidered with a big python with teeth and claws. The so-called python is actually a type of dragon. However, the dragon on the emperor's robe has five toes, and the python on the robe has five toes.
The python has four toes. Apart from that, the python and the dragon are exactly the same. The bright red silk and satin of the python robe is also embroidered with the sun, mountains, flowing clouds and "eight treasures". The color is eye-catching and the contrast is strong, making it look very gorgeous.
The jade belt is a jade belt with jade pieces pinned to it. Those jade pieces are the finest Hetian soft jade, and the jade is carved with various auspicious patterns, which is elegant and refined.
Putting on the python robe and jade belt, Li Zhi put on the black gauze hat given by the emperor and took a few steps in front of the mirror. He felt that he was really a high official.
The emperor wants to summon him on the platform.
Li Zhi felt a little emotional. Only a few years ago, he was a time traveler running around to pay off dozens of taels of debt, and he was also worried all day long because of Lu Huarong's coveting. Suddenly, he became a high-ranking official of the first rank.
Controlling more than 10,000 strong soldiers, he controlled the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. Even the emperor wanted to see him exclusively on the platform.
When I first traveled through time, how could I ever have imagined that I would be as glorious as I am today?
Li Zhi walked out of the official hall wearing a python robe and a jade belt. He asked his servants to hold a brand-new ceremonial flag, and took Li Xing and other officials and fifty servants, all riding tall horses, toward the capital in a mighty manner.
Seeing Li Zhi wearing a red python robe and holding a different flag, the people of Fanjiazhuang gathered around both sides of the road and talked, all of them beaming with joy. Now that the general has been promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief of Tianjin, and from the rank of first-grade commander-in-chief, the people of Fanjiazhuang
In the good days, it is even more impregnable.
Seeing this, some people with good intentions took out a bunch of firecrackers and set them off on the street where Li Zhi walked.
Entering the capital, Li Zhi first went to the Fang Division to receive his official uniform, waist badge and seal. The doctor who served in the Fang Division also heard about Li Zhi's military exploits and knew that the governor-general was going to see the emperor soon, so how could he dare to blackmail Li Zhi?
Zhi Yinzi? He trotted all the way to get a whole set of things for Li Zhi and handed them to Li Zhi respectfully.
After the official report was made, Li Zhi lived in his house in the capital, waiting for the emperor's summons.
The emperor did not keep Li Zhi waiting for long. The next day, three eunuchs came to Li Zhi's courtyard to convey the order, saying that the emperor had summoned Li Zhi and asked him to enter the palace immediately.
Li Zhi quickly followed the three eunuchs into the imperial city. After entering the imperial city, the two eunuchs dispersed, and only one eunuch led Li Zhi through the three halls and to the platform behind the Jianji Hall.
The eunuch asked Li Zhi to stand and wait, then went in to report to the emperor.
The platform is a little higher than the base of the three main halls, and it leads to the corridor from front to back. Standing on the platform, you have a wide view. You can overlook the appearance of the three halls inside and outside the imperial city, but it is a good place in the imperial city. The last time Li Zhi visited Huangji
When I went up to the palace, I could only feel the majesty of Huangji Palace. At this time, when I looked at most of the imperial city from the platform, I felt the magnificence of the imperial city.
After a while, Li Zhi saw a yellow umbrella cover moved out from the Qianqing Palace. Under the umbrella cover, the square-faced and long-bearded Emperor Zhu Youjian, wearing a dragon robe, strode over.
When Li Zhi saw the emperor coming, he quickly knelt down and sang: "Long live my emperor!"
Zhu Youjian smiled, walked up to Li Zhi in person, held Li Zhi's shoulders, and said, "I love you!"
Li Zhi stood up. Zhu Youjian looked at Li Zhi carefully for a while and then said: "Ai Qing's repeated victories have greatly increased the prestige of our Ming Dynasty! It is really the top of the country! If it weren't for Ai Qing, how would Dongnu know that we have a great tomorrow?
How powerful?"
Li Zhi cupped his hands and said, "The emperor has given you the reward! Li Zhi's achievements are all due to the emperor's command and control of the curtains!"
Zhu Youjian asked curiously: "I wonder how Li Qing manages the army and why his combat power is so outstanding?"
Li Zhi replied calmly: "I formed an army with self-made firecrackers and Hongyi cannons, and relied on these firecrackers and cannons to repel the enemy!"
Zhu Youjian stroked his beard, nodded and said, "That's it. No wonder Li Qing's military power is so outstanding!" 8
