    (); Both Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Zhenqing returned to Beijing by boat urgently, and led the army to offer prisoners on behalf of the frontline generals.

    Followed back, there are five thousand soldiers.

    The remnants of the Tartars fled to Ningguta, so there is no need for so many troops in the Northeast.  As a result, the establishment of Yang Zhenqing's independent regiment was cancelled, some were broken up and incorporated into brother troops, and some returned to Nanjing to serve as the imperial army.  Other troops in the Northeast were also transferred, and they were all those who made meritorious service in the battle last year.

    In this way, the number of regular troops in the entire Nanjing city (including the Forbidden City) finally reached 10,000.

    Lu Xiangsheng rode a tall horse, with a guard of honor and a band in front of him.  Behind him was Yang Zhenqing who was also riding a horse, and then the soldiers who had returned from the northeast, and a long list of captives.  There were Tartar prisoners of war and Dutch prisoners of war. The Dutch who surrendered in Malacca, except for the few civil servants, were all escorted back to Nanjing.

    Band player "Steel Torrent March", Datong soldiers strode forward.  Yang Zhenqing turned his head to look at the captives behind him, with a smug smile on his face, it didn't matter if he was dismissed from the military or feudal state, the most important thing was to destroy the Man Qing.

    It's a pity that there are still some remnants of Tartars who hide in Ninggu Pagoda and dare not come out, which makes Yang Zhenqing feel quite regretful.

    "Ping Da," Lu Xiangsheng said, pulling the rein, "I heard that Pang Ge was going to be your matchmaker, but you directly rejected him, and you didn't give him any face."

    Yang Zhenqing smiled and said: "I am a hunter in the mountains. Even after joining the army, I can read a thousand words. The in-laws that Pang Ge told me about are from a scholarly family. How can I afford it? Me, just marry me.  As a peasant girl, it is enough to inherit the incense to the ancestors."

    Lu Xiangsheng sighed: "Oh, that's fine, don't get too contaminated."

    As soon as Lu Xiangsheng returned to Nanjing, he felt that the court was a little strange.  He probably won't be able to return to the front line, and he is very likely to take over as Minister of the Ministry of War as a tool for the emperor to balance the factions of civilian officials.

    In the past few days, civil servants from Jiangxi have been visiting one after another, mentioning Song Yingxing overtly and secretly.

    Lu Xiangsheng knew what it meant, it was nothing more than that after Pang Chunlai and Li Banghua left, Song Yingxing would be promoted to the chief assistant of the cabinet.  Those officials from Jiangxi wanted to bring Lu Xiangsheng in, implying that he would pay a visit to Song Yingxing's house.

    In this regard, Lu Xiangsheng pretended not to understand, he did not want to make the emperor bad luck.

    Today it is not as simple as "half Jiangxi in the court". Although Zhao Han deliberately suppressed it, there are more and more Jiangxi officials in the court, and 70% of the Beijing officials above the fourth rank are from Jiangxi.  It's simply unstoppable. The qualifications and achievements of Jiangxi officials are there. Even if the nepotism is ignored, normal promotion will also cause this situation.

    "Victory, victorious!"

    The team arrived at the bank of Xuanwu Lake, and the people along the way, old and young, shouted and cheered at them.

    These soldiers who came back from the Northeast were all beaming, with their heads held high and their spirits uplifted.

    The Tartar captives turned pale with fright. They were all captives convicted of felony crimes. Their hands were covered with blood. Even if they were not beheaded, they would still be thrown into the mountains for mining.

    Dutch captives are better off. The company has not been in Malacca for a long time, and it has not had time to turn against the Han people.  It is a normal act of war to kill Datong soldiers in battle, and the Chinese emperor does not intend to kill them.  Even, they can immigrate to the north and settle down to divide the land, but the land allocated is half of that of the Han people.

    Zhao Han has already issued an order to overseas officials. Once the Dutch captives are caught, the heinous ones will be beheaded directly, and all the rest will be moved to northern China to enrich the population.  The Netherlands has only a few people, and the population of its overseas colonies is even smaller. It is estimated that it will not be able to recruit soldiers after a few more attempts.

    However, the bottom-level soldiers in the Netherlands will be assimilated in a few years when they serve the people in northern China.  It's just that these guys have red hair and green eyes, and there are more men than women in the north.  Whether they can marry a wife and start a family is no one to care about. It is estimated that many of them will spend their entire lives as bachelors, and their only role is to farm land and pay for the government.

    After passing Xuanwu Lake, the team finally entered the city, circled around the Forbidden City, and was guided to enter through the main gate.

    There are too many triumphant soldiers, and it is certain that they cannot all go in. Only 300 were selected as representatives.  They escorted the captives and walked a distance,

    So I was arranged to wait there first.

    Before the Meridian Gate, all civil and military officials were in place, and foreign envoys also arrived one after another.

    In addition to envoys from the Southeast Asian countries, North Korea, Taungoo (Myanmar) and other countries also sent envoys.  It was not a coincidence, but an official tribute trade by celebrating the birthday of Emperor Datong.

    The king of North Korea is the most filial, and he sends envoys every year. They arrive in March every year, and wait for April to congratulate the emperor on his birthday.

    "The emperor ascended the tower!"

    "Play music!"

    In Weinbsp; On the third day after the ceremony, Pang Chunlai and Li Banghua officially retired, and Song Yingxing took over as chief assistant.

    Fang Shengchang, Secretary of the Ministry of War, Fei Chun, Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, Liu Ziren, Secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Yuan Yunlong (Fei Ruhe's brother-in-law), Minister of the Ministry of Industry, all four Jiangxi people joined the cabinet as prime ministers.

    Lu Xiangsheng, a native of Jiangsu, took over as Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

    Wu Yingji, a native of Anhui, took over as Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance.

    Zhang Bingwen, a native of Anhui, took over as Minister of the Ministry of officials.

    Li Rixuan (Li Banghua's nephew) from Jiangxi took over as Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

    Zhao Hanming wanted to weaken the influence of Jiangxi officials, and handed over all military affairs, finance, and personnel to non-Jiangxi officials.

    Even so, it can only be relieved a little, after all, there are too many Jiangxi natives in the court.  Moreover, after this adjustment, the cabinet is full of people from Jiangxi.

    Zhao Han has no choice but to form a Jiangxi cabinet.

    They are all heroes, and they didn't make a big mistake, so can they be suppressed by force?  If you really want to change the situation in the court, you have to raise the butcher's knife against the heroes, and you have to make a few big cases.

    Zhao Han finally understood Zhu Yuanzhang's mood, and also knew why Comrade Zhu killed the heroes.

    Zhao Han's heroes were more disciplined, but they still made him very uncomfortable.  And Zhu Yuanzhang's heroes were so domineering one by one that they had to kill several groups.  </div&gt
