Zhao Zhen didn't feel much excitement, although he was being held, but this is not the first time, if someone often praises you and praises you, you won't feel any difference after a long time, even if it is an immortal feat like recovering Yanyun.

The class teacher returned to the dynasty and rode the line, these are just boasting of his achievements, but what Zhao Zhen wants to boast about most is his own soldiers, including Xia Zhu and Bao Zheng, including Cai Boyu, a relative, three years of Northern Expedition, three years of war, sacrificed tens of thousands of soldiers in exchange for Yanyun's recovery, if it were not for the civil strife of the Liao Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty would have to pay more price to take Datong Mansion.

After all, this war has not entered the level of a showdown, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty have not yet faced off with the 100,000 elites of the Liao Dynasty, Xiao Hui took them back to Shangjing in a hurry, otherwise the Liao army that lost the monarch will definitely cause a large number of casualties to the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and even the victory of this war is a question.

The sword of the Son of Heaven on his waist was untied by Wang Yuyan, and after bowing to himself slightly, he put the sword of the Son of Heaven into the tray, Zhao Zhen saw his wife's hateful eyes, no wonder, he now thinks about what he has done and feels a little incredible, he thinks that he has bait, and the amount of gunpowder in the first battle of the mandarin duck is scared Zhao Zhen's legs are weak, if he had stayed before, he would never have done this, but he not only did it, but there was no trace of hesitation and fear at that time, this is probably the so-called adrenaline blessing, right?

When the chamberlain shouted: "Licheng-" After the entire crowd watching the ceremony erupted into cheers and tsunami cheers, as well as the sound of long live, which meant that the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty was completely over, and the country was calm again.

At the same time, this is also the time to reward meritorious deeds, how can there be no reward for the end of such a large-scale and meritorious Northern Expedition? It is inevitable to reward the three armies, not to mention that the officials and soldiers are born and die together?

Zhao Zhen naturally will not let go of this best link to buy the hearts of the army, and immediately issued an order to reward the three armies and satisfy the soldiers in food, which is the most basic practice, after all, it has been fighting for a long time, and it is nothing to return to the country now to have a good meal, but this kind of satisfaction is a very rare thing, which is equivalent to opening a large party in the army.

After rewarding the three armies, it is necessary to reward meritorious deeds, Zhao Zhen naturally will not learn from his grandfather Taizong, and he will not be rewarded for meritorious service, otherwise it will be contrary to his purpose of buying the hearts of the army? After announcing the reward for the three armies, it was decreed that all the spoils obtained by the soldiers on the battlefield belonged to the individual, and the imperial court would not hand them over, and the registered military exploits would be sent to the three divisions on the same day, and the three divisions would distribute them according to the actual number of military exploits.

Everyone was stunned by the resolute and resolute actions of the official family, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there has never been such a happy and rapid reward and punishment, and after a period of silence, the soldiers who followed Zhao Zhen shouted in unison: "Long live!" Banzai! Banzai! ”

This is the importance that the officials attach to them, how can they not see it? What do soldiers need? Isn't it just getting the respect you deserve? Zhao Zhen not only wants to give them money, but also gives them dignity, these people are born and die, serving the country, they can't become thieves and soldiers again after returning to the country, right? You can't just give honor and skip meals, right? Zhao Zhen's purchase was undoubtedly very successful, and he could feel the heart-to-heart exchange of the soldiers.

Waving the long sleeves of the gown, Zhao Zhen scolded: "Don't be so sensational, be like a child!" The bereavement of the soldiers who died in the war must be sent to their homes, and their parents should be treated like their parents, and their children should be treated like their children, and they must not be slack! ”

If there is a war, there will be death, which is inevitable, but how to do a good job of pacifying, there is a big article, Zhao Zhen's words will warm the hearts of the soldiers, give them, give the world to see the treatment of the people who died in the Great Song Dynasty, will there be fewer people who join the army in the future?

When all the processes are over, the celebration of Tokyo City can be regarded as the official beginning, and the people almost dragged their families to the Fengqiu military camp to work in the army, which is a matter of convention, without the official government and the court, the people will do it spontaneously.

Different from the previous forbidden army, the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty is all from ordinary families and has a close relationship with the people, which can be described as a child soldier in the real sense, and it is also deliberately done by Zhao Zhen.

The army has been settled, and the rest is the problem of officials, the recovery of Yanyun Land has undoubtedly provided more positions for the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, and the civil and military officials can be properly settled, how can they not be happy? You must know that there are hundreds of officials to be elected in the Great Song Dynasty, and this is what is left after Zhao Zhen developed Lingnan.

The problem of redundant officials has not been properly solved in the Great Song Dynasty, first, these officials to be elected are officially produced from the imperial examination and cannot be sent away casually, and second, these people have certain talents and cannot be arbitrarily arranged and wasted.

Now that there are a large number of vacancies in the land of Yanyun, it is just right to properly arrange these redundant officials, and in Zhao Zhen's eyes, these "unallocated resources" are all waste! He can't wait to take advantage of everyone.

It is very important to reward meritorious deeds, and after the victory of the war, the Son of Heaven should feast on meritorious heroes and reward meritorious deeds. In ancient times, this kind of ritual of "enjoying the merit of the ancestral temple and the lord of the court" was called "drinking to", of course, in the Great Song Dynasty, the "drinking to" feast was no longer in the temple, but was held in the main hall or palace, and Qionglin Garden was the best place in Tokyo.

Now Qionglin Yuan has basically been used as a place for the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and officials to drink and feast, and other idlers are not allowed to enter, since Zhao Zhen arranged the martial champion of Wuju in Qionglin Yuan to give a banquet, the status of the martial arts has been significantly improved, and the military generals of Wenchen do not regard participating in the Qionglin banquet as the highest honor.

Of course, the time of the banquet is also in the evening, and now is the time to reward meritorious deeds, which is the highlight and the most exciting moment.

All the civil and military officials stood, Zhao Zhen sat down on the throne, to be honest, the eyes of these officials even made Zhao Zhen look a little hairy, and the "hungry" look as if he had no sex for many days.

No way, in the eyes of the courtiers, this is not only a commendation meeting for meritorious deeds, but also a major event about whether they can be famous in the history books, who doesn't want their name to be mentioned in the Huanghuang history books? What's more, this is a major event to recover Yanyun.

The officials bowed four times, and the official carefully took the holy decree handed over by the inner servant, his responsibility was to read out the emperor's order, although the holy decree in his hand was as light as a cicada's wings, but at this time it was as heavy as Mount Tai, and everyone was staring at it!

The rewarded officials go to the ceremony in turn to receive the order, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites will confer the gifts. On the left side of the rewarded officer, there are two attendants, who give the orders and gifts to the attendants, and then the rewarded officer prostrates and bows and retreats. After the reward ceremony, the officials bowed and bowed, danced three times, knelt and shouted long live. Compared with glory, the edicts and gifts are quite real, accompanied by honor guards and drum music, all the way to the palace of the rewarded official.
