Zhu Di was completely stunned.
Zhu Xiong.
It reminded him of his unforgettable youth, and it also reminded him of his dearest nephew.
Zhu Di found it hard to come back to his senses when he heard the words 'fourth uncle.'
"What's wrong with the King of Yan?"
Zhu Xiong looked at the stunned Zhu Di in confusion.
"Your Highness."
"Your Highness…"
Fu Youde shouted in a low voice.
This voice also pulled Zhu Di back to reality.
Zhu Di fixed his eyes on Zhu Xiong, as if he wanted to see if he was his nephew, even if it was just a fantasy.
However, after taking a closer look, he realized that the blood stain did not look like his nephew in his memory. Zhu Di was a little disappointed."Sigh, in the end, I was thinking too much. How can a dead person be resurrected? Back then, I saw Xiong Ying buried with my own eyes.”
However…
This was also because Zhu Di was overthinking.
After so many years, even if his nephew stood in front of him, his appearance would naturally change greatly. Moreover, Zhu Xiong lived among the people all year round and did not have the noble aura of the royal family at all. He was handsome, but there was an invisible killing intent on his body, which was completely different from what Zhu Di remembered.
"Zhu Xiong."
"You really are a warrior of my Ming Dynasty.”
"This king has seen your battle achievements.”
"If it wasn't for you leading the attack when Zhang Fu fell to the ground, this city wouldn't have been so easily taken over by our army.”
"When the battle started, I said that the first to enter the city will be promoted by one rank, and the one who kills Wang Baobao will be promoted by three ranks.”
"Now, this king will naturally fulfill his promise, and this is also the reward you deserve.”Zhu Di said to Zhu Xiong with a smile.
Immediately after.
His expression became serious again and he said loudly,"Zhu Xiong is now the commander. He has been promoted to the fourth rank and is now a guard. He receives a fifth rank salary and leads an army.”
"I, Zhu Xiong, thank you, Prince Yan.”Zhu Xiong said excitedly.
The generals and many Ming soldiers looked at Zhu Xiong with envy.
In the Ming Empire, all officials below the fifth rank were mediocre. However, those above the fifth rank could be called middle officials. Moreover, the garrison was not only a fifth rank official, but also a fifth rank official who had real military power. Naturally, it was extraordinary.
Again.
Zhu Xiong was only sixteen years old.
A sixteen-year-old guard, this was the only one in the Ming Empire.
Moreover, his position as a guard had been promoted so quickly.
Even though he was a garrison officer, he was able to convince any soldier. This was because he had obtained it through his battle achievements. Even if Zhu Xiong was still so young, they would not have any objections.
"Now that General Zhang Fu is heavily injured, the position of the vanguard is vacant. You will temporarily take over the position of the vanguard. As for the soldiers that have been lost, this king will reorganize the army.”
"In short, this king hopes that you can make more contributions to Great Ming.”Zhu Di said to Zhu Xiong.
"I'm sure I won't disappoint you." Zhu Xiong replied seriously.
"Today, this king promised to be promoted to four levels of official rank, as well as a thousand gold and a hundred gold. After we destroy Northern Yuan and return triumphantly, this king will naturally give it to you.”Zhu Di smiled at Zhu Xiong.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhu Xiong also smiled and nodded.
"All the soldiers have worked hard."
"Today, the border city has been decided. I have already sent people to calculate the battle achievements. Once the statistics are completed, the battle achievements of the soldiers will not be forgotten.”Zhu Di said to all the soldiers around him.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
All the soldiers shouted in unison, full of respect.
Perhaps.
This was also the reason why Zhu Di was able to command his army to follow him to the death.
Simply put, it was two words.
"Fair."
"The Beiping Army is still under Zhu Di's control.”
"Those who have merit will be rewarded, and those who have faults will be punished.”
" As long as the soldiers can be truly fair, they can be promoted and rewarded for meritorious service, and they can be compensated for their deaths. This is their greatest desire. In the world, Zhu Di, the King of Yan, is the fairest among the generals.”Zhu Xiong thought to himself.
Zhu Di seemed to understand the core of Zhu Di's ability to seize the throne in the future. The loyalty of the army to the death and the fairness of the soldiers in the army were the same as in the pre-Qin period.
"Sigh, Zhu Di is indeed a hero.”
"In history, his eldest son and grandson were the same.”
"However, his great-grandson failed to live up to expectations and became the War God of Ming in a negative sense.”
"I still have to become stronger. Otherwise, I won't be killed by him when I reach the Daming War God era.”Zhu Xiong thought to himself.
Speaking of the Daming War God.
That guy called Zhu Qizhen.
Although he was not born yet, it did not affect Zhu Xiong's contempt for him. An Emperor was actually captured by an enemy country. After being captured, he did not commit suicide and actually lived on at death's door. It was fine if he was alive, but he actually caused a rebellion and killed a loyal minister who saved the Ming Dynasty.
If Zhu Xiong were to encounter such a thing, he would really give him a few slaps.
No, if he were to die in a foreign country, he really did not deserve to be the emperor, much less be surnamed Zhu.
