Emperor Chongzhen held this magic crossbow and couldn't let go. He said, "This thing is my return. Xu Aiqing, you have made great contributions. I am very pleased. What kind of reward do you think you need?"

Xu Jianqiang said: "This thing was seized by Mr. Zhu in the Battle of Yiling, and he also presented it to the emperor. If you want to reward him, please reward Mr. Zhu."

Emperor Chongzhen also knew that although Zhu Xieyuan defeated the war at this time, punishing a person who was in charge of heavy troops and loyal to the court was not beneficial to him at all. So he thought for a moment and said, "The imperial order: Zhu Xieyuan made contributions to suppressing the thieves and protecting the country, and specially granted him the title of Prince Taishi, Minister of War, and the commander of the seven southern provinces. He was given a sword of Shangfang, and he could be killed first and then reported. Yin Yizi was a thousand households of Jinyiwei, with a bounty of 10,000 yuan and a thousand silk and satin. I admire this."

It can be said that all the things Zhu Xieyuan lost during the defeat of Yiling were taken back, and he also had the honors he deserved.

However, for a person like Zhu Xieyuan, everything is a bluster. He has done his best as an official, holding a heavy army and as a high-ranking minister, but his fate is not good. In his hometown, the ten clans were slaughtered. Except for his son who joined the army and took care of him by his side, all his relatives in the world were killed, and even the student clan was no exception.

Mao Shunfeng, a general of the Chinese Army, hated Zhu Xieyuan to the extreme. He not only killed all the ten tribes of Zhu Xieyuan, but also dug all his ancestral tombs and turned them into cesspools.

Even after the emperor found out, he was very sad and ordered the construction of a temple to commemorate it. The sacrifices continued in spring and autumn. After Zhu Xieyuan found out, he cried bitterly on the spot and cursed: The children and grandchildren were unfilial!

But he also wore a mourning uniform from then on, no longer wore the red robe of his first-rank minister. He wore a white robe and mourning clothes outside the armor for no reason. This was the same as the Chinese army.

After Zhu Xieyuan confiscated King Fu's property, he obtained a large amount of property. He did not take the property for himself, but instead recruited a large number of soldiers and refugees.

Xu Jianqiang said nothing wrong. This is to copy the Fu Prince's Mansion and support half of Henan. Zhu Xieyuan did use this money properly. He recruited refugees in large quantities. Those who could join the army would join the army, and those who could not join the army would help them to reclaim and build farms. This is how the Liu family can provide disaster relief.

Any kind of disaster relief, blindly sitting and eating the whole country, is destined to be unable to last long, and only labor-for-relief can last long.

Just like the Liu family in the past, they stuffed food into your hands, and many refugees felt that it was inappropriate. They all knew this. There was no good thing about losing pies in the world. No matter how rich the Liu family is, it would not be possible to support you forever. After all, you are not his son. However, while the Liu family gave them food, they formed various farms and production and construction corps to let these people work, many of them were more motivated and happier.

Because they knew that if they worked for the Liu family, the Liu family would provide them with money and food to support them. This was normal and natural.

Zhu Xieyuan was also learning from the experience of the Liu family, recruiting refugees, building and farming a lot.

Under the current Ming system, free farmers are basically unable to cultivate, because once you farm, the court will collect taxes, and officials exploit them layer by layer, and the tax they collect is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

This is why the people do farm for free, which is the main reason why the Ming Dynasty is worse than the tragedy.

However, if the land is opened by the powerful and powerful, the officials dare not collect taxes, so they can get a harvest.

Just like the Liu family, relying on their official status, they have opened up a large amount of wasteland, and even some land with masters, they dare to occupy and forcibly farm to ensure output. Zhu Xieyuan is also implementing this now.

Although Zhu Xieyuan knew that the seeds were planted, it was hard to say whether they could harvest them, because his army would definitely not be able to send troops after the summer harvest. Instead, after the weather was warm, they would have to send troops to capture Shandong. This is the speed of soldiers.

But if the seeds are planted, there will be a day of harvest. As for whom the harvest is, it is hard to say. In the end, it will benefit the people on this land.

Zhu Xieyuan was quite kind to do this. For example, Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang didn't care about this. They would only ask the court for money and train troops with all their might. In their eyes, no matter how much food they produced, it would be useless. In the end, they would still be eaten. Only by winning a battle and making military achievements will it be eternal.

Whether it was Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang, they were training troops day and night, preparing to start attacking Shandong after Chunnuan. They also knew that the other party would be prepared, and this was destined to be a fierce battle.

After Liu Bu made a plan, he immediately reported it to the Supervisor King Liu Yuanqiao. After the Supervisor King Liu Yuanqiao agreed, he immediately began to implement it.

They planned to transfer all the troops of the entire Chinese Empire, including its forces in Huguang, Jiangnan and Sichuan, to Shandong, and prepare to fight a decisive battle with the court. Since the court's troops were divided into three groups of attacks, they also divided into three groups of troops to fight, preparing to fight a large-scale decisive battle with the court, and one battle would determine the world.

After the Ministry of Defense of the Chinese Empire formulated a plan, it immediately began to promote their war machines.

Their procurement department began to plunder all the food and various military supplies on the market, and all the ships on the Yangtze River were also recruited by them one by one to transport food and supplies.

The Chinese army was already expanding its army. When facing such a situation, they have increased their efforts to expand their army and lowered the threshold in order to recruit more troops.

Now they have made a public statement that at least one million troops must be summoned so that they can confront the Ming army and unify the world.

The place where the Huaxia Empire was located was the richest place in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty's national strength declined, and the amount of money and food could be absorbed in the local area. However, the Huaxia Empire was different. They defeated the old interest classes for the new forces, obtained a large amount of money and food, and also received the full support of local heroes.

Such a foundation gave them a strong mobilization ability. They had the ability to get a lot of money and soldiers from Jiangnan, Huguang and Sichuan, and drove to the front line continuously, preparing to fight to the death with the Ming Dynasty.

The power of the entire Chinese Empire was extremely amazing when it mobilized. Although the area they currently control was not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty, the materials they could mobilize were far above the Ming Dynasty. Millions of square kilometers of land and tens of millions of people began to roll in, and everything was working for war.

Although the Chinese Empire is not a whole country, the scale of this war also affects the hearts of everyone in the empire, and the national war is coming.

When Liu Bu saw the data and power they could mobilize, he was surprised. With such a huge amount of power, it was not difficult to deal with the Ming Dynasty.

However, this battle was related to the life and death of the Chinese Empire, and Liu Bu did not dare to be careless at all. He began to summon all his generals and mobile troops to gather in Shandong.

He also summoned all his friends and heroes to further improve the plan for the Battle of Shandong.

This is basically a great war, that is, the founding battle of the Chinese Empire. If the world loses, they will be doomed.

So without any emphasis or any other person, all major departments of the Chinese Empire have mobilized all the forces they can mobilize, and tried every means to put their strength into Shandong.

Last year, their troops went out of Shandong and swept the world. Now they have returned to Shandong again and started a battle to dominate the world.

It started in Shandong and ended in Shandong.

The people of Nanjing, who had only lived a few days of peace and stability, felt the tense moment of fierce wars, because they could see that there were a large number of military rations and military supplies that were continuously transported through the docks and along the Yangtze River to various places.

Liu Yuanqiao, the king of the Chinese Empire, also ordered that localities should urgently transport food and grass here, using Nanjing as a hub and then transfer it to other places, mainly Shandong.

Even their most powerful navy was originally operating on the southeast coast, but now they have all begun to retreat and to the Shandong waters. The huge military mobilization involves all aspects of the matter, and the entire Chinese Empire has basically been mobilized.

They also made plans, that is, in early February next year, Liu Bu will lead his troops to fight.

Liu Bu's identity is equivalent to the crown prince of the Huaxia Empire and the son of a daughter. He cannot sit in the hall, but now there is no way, and the Huaxia Empire cannot find a suitable person to replace him.

Of course, I believe that with Liu Yuanqiao's cunning, it is impossible to hand over so many troops to one person to take charge of. Only by letting Liu Bu take charge of him will he be relieved.

In other words, whether it is Zheng Zhibao, Liu Zhongyong, or other generals, it is impossible to gain his trust and confidence.

With so much military power left to others to take care of, the other party suddenly had a Chenqiao mutiny. I guess they couldn't find the grave even if they wanted to cry. Even his brother, even his in-laws Zheng Zhibao, could not. And only Liu Bu had such prestige and such ability, able to suppress everyone and let everyone obey him.

In the system of the Chinese Army, Liu Bu is currently the person with the highest prestige and military achievements. The Chinese Army can be said to be founded by him, and all the soldiers and generals basically knew him. In some aspects, they can say that they only knew that there was General Liu, but not the king.

If it were someone else, he would have been killed by Liu Yuanqiao long ago, but this person is his son and his best partner. If there is another person in the world whom Liu Yuanqiao trusts and does not have any doubts, this person is Liu Bu.

Of course, at this moment, he had no choice but to send Liu Bu. Among the million soldiers of the Chinese army, everyone was full of confidence and high morale. If they were sent by others, they would probably not be as high as they are now.
