    After the reward for the Battle of Datong was decided, Zhu Youxiao did not hesitate at all and directly transferred the silver coins, and was escorted to Datong by the Supervisor of Ceremonies and officials of the Ministry of War!

    At the same time, the officers and soldiers of Datong Town also escorted a long team of prisoners to Beijing. In addition to prisoners, this team also included cattle, sheep, horses, and carts pulling heads. It dragged for two or three miles!

    Such a team walking on the official road naturally became a rare Western scene. Pedestrians and business travelers passing by could not help but watch and inquire for a while. When they learned that Datong Town had won a great victory, these were all prisoners of the Mongols.  , each one is extremely exciting!

    When the towns along the way received the news at first, most people didn¡¯t believe it. But when this long team appeared, all doubts naturally disappeared, and instead, the whole city was filled with joy, and everyone lined the streets to welcome!

    As the news continued to spread, in the towns that the escort team did not pass by, there were also people who were curious and went to the only road the escort team had to pass. After they saw this Western scene, they continued to spread the news!

    Later, when the escort team passed through the town, local officials, gentry, and common people all went out to greet him. Along the way, incense tables and fruits were placed, and there was an endless stream of people bringing food and drink. It was really like eating pots of wine to welcome the king!

    It's not necessarily how happy the people are that the imperial court won a great victory. It's just that watching the Mongolians, who are said to eat people without spitting out their bones, being dejected and escorted by the army and slowly moving forward, always makes people feel inexplicable.  My heart is soaring!

    Especially the officers and soldiers escorting the prisoners, each one riding a tall horse, wearing a roll-brimmed felt hat on his head, wearing a brand-new mandarin duck war coat, with a long knife on his waist, and a long bow hanging on the saddle bridge, all with eyes like torches,  His expression was dignified, truly majestic and murderous!

    The common people watching the excitement along the way, while looking at the freshness of the Mongolian prisoners, were also curious about these officers and soldiers!

    In the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, the officers and soldiers were about the same as beggars. How could they be as majestic as the military masters in front of them?

    In fact, when this group of people came out of Datong, they were not like this. They were all shabby and dirty, and their clothes were very shabby. Some of them were even wearing Mongolian leather robes!

    There was even more laughter and confusion along the way. If Zhou Laosan hadn't brought a small flag of military police to hold down the formation, these ruffians might have done something!

    However, not long after they left Datong, they encountered a cavalry team from Beijing. This cavalry team consisted of 500 military police and 300 horses. They also brought new military uniforms inside and outside!

    Afterwards, more than 2,000 soldiers were forced to take a shower and change their clothes. Along the way, they were also watched by 500 military policemen who looked and behaved. They were not allowed to smile, fight, or curse, and they were not allowed to see the older girls or the younger wives say anything.  If you talk dirty, if you make any mistake, you will be whipped.

    The most terrible thing is that the whips of these military police are very tricky. They don't hit the head, face or body. They go to invisible places to greet them. The whips are painful and hidden. They might not even give them food at night!

    Although they were subjected to such inhuman treatment, these gangsters did not dare to resist. First, the reputation of the military police was too scary. A small flag could suppress them. Now that there were five hundred, they did not dare to make a mistake!

    The second one is also because he has just achieved military exploits. Not to mention whether he can be promoted to an official position, the money alone is enough for these guys to sleep happily. At this juncture, they will naturally not confront the military police!

    But what these gangsters didn¡¯t expect was that the trick they were tortured out of by the military police, which looked like donkey dung and eggs, actually brought unexpected results!

    In the past, these soldiers and gangsters were despised wherever they went. It would not be an exaggeration to describe them as disgusting and disgusting. But when they dress cleanly and neatly every day, stand up straight, and ride on their horses without a smile, those  The common people who originally hated them looked at them differently!

    There was confusion and awe in those eyes, but most of all there was a kind of respect, especially for the older girls and younger wives. When they looked at them, they no longer rolled their eyes or spat, but looked at them with a shy look.  She timidly turned her head and smiled, it was really indescribably charming!

    These soldiers who originally didn't care about their image began to take the initiative to wash their faces and mouth every day. Some people tried their best to clean their big yellow teeth, shaved off the stubble on their faces, and took good care of their clothes.  Well, I can no longer see anyone wiping their dirty hands on their clothes after finishing their food!

    All this unknowingly and subtly affected these gangsters. By the time they arrived in Beijing, they seemed to have completely transformed!

      And all this is an image project carefully planned by Zhu Youxiao. When he learned about the victory of Datong, Zhu Youxiao had such a plan in his mind!

    Use the opportunity of escorting prisoners to publicize the victory along the way to achieve the purpose of inspiring the people. At the same time, we also use this opportunity to change the image of the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers, and initially establish a positive image of the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers!

    Obviously Zhu Youxiao's decision this time was very correct. The publicity of this escort team not only reversed the image of the Ming Dynasty's army as weak and incompetent, but also made the soldiers who experienced this escort mission feel the first  For the first time, I have something called a sense of honor!

    In order to enhance the publicity effect, this escort team walked very slowly, and sometimes even made special detours, in order to let more people see them, and the captives became free exhibits!

    But for the captives, this was not an unbearable thing. Anyway, the Ming people did not kill them at will, nor did they harm their women. They even gave them enough food. Such a life was comparable to enduring hunger on the grassland.  It's much better to go hungry!

    Therefore, after experiencing the initial panic, these Mongolian captives actually settled down. They neither made trouble nor ran away. They left whenever they were allowed to go, slept when they were allowed to sleep, and ate whatever they were given to eat. They were very comfortable!

    "If these Mongolian captives knew what the little emperor in Beijing was going to use them for, I'm afraid they wouldn't be in such a good mood, because when they get to Beijing, they will find that living like this is no different from heaven!

    Just as the escort team was slowly heading towards Beijing, Datong City was in a different scene. The money to reward the three armies and the imperial edict to appoint officials had arrived, and many people's hearts began to boil!

    The person who came to Datong to deliver the message this time was Li Jinzhong. This future star in the eunuch world can be said to be the second most popular person in front of Zhu Youxiao, and he is also the most popular person and the most powerful candidate!

    This time Zhu Youxiao sent him to Datong to deliver the edict, and it was not just for the purpose of delivering the edict. Before leaving, Zhu Youxiao also told him several things, which made Li Jinzhong understand that he had an unusual purpose in delivering the edict to Datong this time.  historical meaning!

    Datong Jiubian Admiral Yamen!

    Firecrackers were blasting, gongs and drums were noisy, and the angel Li Jinzhong was welcomed into the main hall. Xiong Tingbi, accompanied by Cao Wenzhao, Han Siwen, Zu Dashou, and He Renlong, stood respectfully with their hands lowered, listening to Li Jinzhong read out the imperial edict!

    Zhu Youxiao¡¯s imperial edict was very simple. There were not so many gorgeous and obscure words. He just praised the officers, soldiers and heroes of the Battle of Datong, and then came the unexpected rewards!

    When Cao Wenzhao learned that he had been granted the title of uncle, the flesh on his face never stopped twitching. He Renlong even heard that he had not only gained the false title of General of Zhuguo, but had also been directly promoted to the position of Chief of Yansui Town.  The soldier, with his big beard on his face, kept jumping around!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
