Chapter 12 The Master is Nameless
"In this Northern Expedition, Quan Nai Zhang Baihu bravely caught up in the battle and held the enemy. Only then did our army arrive in time, so Zhang Baihu was the biggest hero in this battle." After Zhu Di asked the messenger to send Hong Ling to Nanjing, he began to reward merits. This was his favorite thing, because at this time he felt like he was in power. Although he had never been an emperor, he knew that he should feel like he was an emperor.
"For generals, it is a matter of killing the enemy. Moreover, this matter is not Zhang Fu's only one. First, Hu Ye told the shocking news, then the scout went a hundred miles to inquire, and there were five hundred soldiers in our army fighting to the death. Therefore, the humble official dare not take this merit alone."
Zhang Fu is very good at being a human being. Zhu Di wants to reward him, and he also has to bring everyone in the entire army. This is a good way to win over the hearts of the people, otherwise his 500 soldiers would not be able to accompany him to intercept and kill dozens of times his enemies, and he will not retreat even if he is killed or injured.
"Wenbi doesn't have to be humble. This credit is yours. You can't even push it away. Everyone in your army has a share." Zhu Di is in a good mood now, so he called out Zhang Fu's name directly.
Zhang Fu grew up because he watched him grow up, and he followed Zhang Fu's father Zhang Yu to fight since he was a child. It can be said that Zhu Di's ability to fight was taught by Zhang Yu, so Zhu Di attaches great importance to Zhang Fu.
"Zhang Baihu obeys the order!"
"I'm here!" Zhang Fu knelt down respectfully.
"Zhang Fu made great contributions to the Northern Expedition and promoted Qianhu, the Northern Wei of Yanshan."
"These highnesses."
"Gao Ren, Ergou... obey the order!" Zhu Di paused when he shouted Ergou. How could anyone call this name?
Originally, he didn't want to give this person a reward, but Zhang Fu submitted a military newspaper to record the two of them found the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. It would be impossible not to give it back, so he had to say it out.
But thinking about it is very awkward. How could the dignified Prince Yan say such words? No, he has to change his name.
"Gao Ren discovered the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and promoted the Yanshan Beiwei General Banner to command the scout of Yanshan Beiwei."
"Thank you, Your Highness, King Yan." Gao Ren was very happy. He had been in the army for decades and finally reached the end. He raised the flag directly to the general flag. He heard that he could command more than fifty people. Gao Ren was now smiling from ear to ear.
Ergou was waiting for it. His elder brother had a reward, thinking that he should have a reward, but he knelt on the ground and waited for a long time without waiting for Zhu Di to call his name again.
"Isn't there any reward from me?" Ergou thought involuntarily, but then he denied his thoughts. "Your Highness just now called me by my name. Maybe he was thinking about the position. Hehe, maybe my position is bigger than my elder brother's. Then when the elder brother sees me, he will have to call me a master, haha, I'll be happy when I think about it."
"Ergou." Zhu Di finally spoke.
"Subordinate is here."
"What is your real name? How do you choose this name?"
"When you go back to Your Highness, you have no name and have no parents since you were young. You grew up with a group of stray children, so they called me Ergou. Fortunately, I met my elder brother and joined the army. The Ergou's name has been used until today." Ergou answered seriously.
He didn't understand why His Highness Yan didn't give him a reward, but instead cared about his name.
"The name of this Ergou is too vulgar, which affects my Yanjun image. I think you will change your name to Zheng Er. It's very pitiful to see your life experience. You should be with me as a guard in the future. Of course, if you continue to stay in the army and follow your elder brother." Zhu Di saw that this Ergou was very honest and in good health. Although he was a little dull, it would be very good to be a guard and would definitely be very loyal.
Before Ergou could react, Gao Ren was so happy that he was even happier than he received the reward himself. He quickly pulled Ergou's trousers and said, "Egou, no, Zheng Er, why don't you thank His Highness Yan for your great kindness quickly."
Ergou was very puzzled. Could his name have changed now? He also became His Highness's personal guard? Although he didn't understand what the meaning of these things was, looking at his elder brother's happy look, he knew that it must be a good thing, so Ergou respectfully thanked him.
"Each soldier in Zhangfu Camp was promoted to one level, and his salary was doubled. The rest of the soldiers were under the small flag and paid three taels of silver, and above the small flag, and five taels of silver." After solving the annoying name problem, Zhu Di issued another reward.
All the generals were very happy. Although they were also very jealous of Zhang Fu's military camp's rewards, promotion to the official position was what they dreamed of. But they also knew that Zhang Fu's tragic yesterday was, and that more than 80% of the losses were exchanged for promotion to the official position. They felt that this was not an exaggeration.
Everyone had finished rewarding, except Hu Ye. So Zhang Fu said, "Your Highness, King Yan, actually..."
Before Zhang Fu finished speaking, Zhu Di waved his hand to stop him from continuing, and then looked at Hu Ye with a smile, as if waiting for Hu Ye to speak first.
"Your Highness, I don't know the group of prisoners outside..." Hu Ye greeted Zhu Di's ancestors all in his heart. Would you die if you don't pretend?
"Let them go, of course they don't have a home now, and their husbands and fathers are dead. Even if they are let go, they will have no way to live." Zhu Di said.
"I'll raise them!" Hu Ye blurted out, not knowing whether it was a passionate person or something.
When Hu Ye thought of the pitiful look of the little girl just now, his heart was cramped. Hu Ye felt that since he owed them, he would pay it back in his life.
"Okay, very good, responsible! I'll give you a house when I return to Beijing. As for your future life, it depends on your own." Zhu Di was in a good mood today, so he added another house to Hu Ye in addition to the transaction. He seemed to remember that there was a house in Peking that was very special, so he gave it to Hu Ye.
Since it was a transaction, of course it was to hand over the money and deliver it one by one. But Hu Ye’s white hat was not in stock and the cycle was very long, so he had to make a long-term plan, so Zhu Di spoke again, "Okay, today's meeting will be here, and the soldiers will return to the camp to prepare for the evening celebration banquet."
When Gao Ren and Ergou heard that there was another celebration banquet, they were very happy and returned to the camp happily. Zhang Fu and Hu Ye wanted to leave, but were stopped by Zhu Di.
"Zhang Fu, Hu Ye, Zhu Neng, Zhang Yu stayed, and there was something important to discuss." This was what Zhu Di said, but Hu Ye heard it. It means that you have a deal with me that you have not completed, so don't think about leaving.
The people left almost, and there were only six people left in the tent, Zhu Di, Daoyan, Zhang Yu, Zhang Fu, Zhu Neng and Hu Ye.
"Hu Ye, do you really have a master?" Six people sat down, Zhu Di sat in the middle, and the other five were sitting on both sides. Zhu Di asked solemnly.
He wanted to ask Hu Ye how he took out the white hat, but he was more concerned about Hu Ye's master because he felt that if Hu Ye's master could be invited down the mountain, it would be much more useful than Hu Ye.
"Yes, but I haven't seen him for a long time." Hu Ye said with a good impression, as if he missed his master who didn't exist at all.
"I don't know what your master's surname is. If you can teach you an apprentice like you, you will probably not be an unknown person." This sentence was asked by Daoyan. He really wanted to know Hu Ye's master, and maybe he could still talk. As for what to talk about, Daoyan didn't care, because he knew everything.
"His old man's name is Wuming." Hu Ye continued to make up.
