The national heroism of the Great Song Dynasty was completely mobilized, and this kind of emotion was positive and beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, but it was extremely terrifying in the eyes of the Liao people of the party and even the people of Yizhi Leye, and this burst of national self-confidence gave them a feeling of escape.

This is a kind of pressure from the Great Song Dynasty today, and the common people and officials who are Song people may not feel it, but the onlookers are watching the two wars and are afraid.

The shock of the remnants of the soldiers was too great, so that after that, everyone noticed the generals who led the troops, Di Qing, Yang Huaiyu, and Cai Boyu, who no one could have imagined, the three of them led the inspection school Dragon Banner, Qingyou team, and Vermilion Bird team, all of which were composed of veterans of the Northern Expedition and the Northern Expedition.

The murderous aura emanating from them shocked the onlookers, this is the murderous aura generated from wandering between life and death, not ordinary people can have, these people are undoubtedly warriors in the army, and they are also commonly known as the "first meritorious" soldiers, they often stand in the first row when the two armies are opposed, and become the people who overcome obstacles for the army.

At the forefront of the army, they will face tremendous pressure in the face of overwhelming enemies, and at the same time, they will have to have extraordinary courage, and the first soldier who can survive every war will become the most valuable asset in the army.

The reason why they are called the first merit is because of their position, and if the army is victorious, the first merit will come from them. That's how they were called after that. It seems to be a dangerous position, but it is a place where the officers and men in the army are scrambling to stand, but it is not a place where anyone can stand.

They must have a strong psychological quality and have extraordinary ability, otherwise before the two armies fight, they will collapse at the first touch. Since ancient times, the mortality rate of the "first meritorious" soldier is far less than that of the soldier in the back, of course, standing in the first row also has many advantages, such as more meritorious service, good equipment, good food, and so on.

Almost all the soldiers who participated in this big battle were injured, except for the civil officials and Cai Boyu, Zhao Zhen's wounds were not a few, and his set of emperor's armor was also full of small scars.

According to the original plan, the hundred officials of Tokyo City should lead the people out of the city for ten miles, but Zhao Zhen specially sent an edict to let them wait in Tokyo City, and the army returned triumphantly.

This is a disciplined force created by itself, which is different from the original forbidden army and the Xiang army, which can fight well. Now the people, including the civilian officials, look at these soldiers with respect in their eyes, these respects are real, without a trace of adulteration, all from the scars on the soldiers' bodies.

What is the Army? It is a country's spear and sword, and it is the emperor's minions, their quality and ability directly affect the emperor's security and the stability of the dynasty, and they must not be sloppy.

At the same time, the success of the Northern Expedition was also Zhao Zhen's telling the courtiers that his reform in military affairs was very successful, and his leadership of the Great Song Dynasty as the emperor was also very successful and effective.

The footsteps of the army are the same, and every blow makes a solid and powerful sound, which is their pride and glory, and the eyes of the onlookers make them feel that they have not been injured on the battlefield in vain, even if the robes that died in battle are worth it!

They are no longer thieves and soldiers in the mouths of the people, but warriors who raise the prestige of the Song Dynasty and recover Yanyun's hometown! With the pace of the soldiers, the army shouted a whole shout: "Triumph, triumph!" ”

The army won and returned, called "triumph", the ritual music on the city wall has been played, because the Great Song Dynasty rarely has such a big victory, the Kaile played is the Ministry of Rites and Ceremonies Qing Officials Division and the Teaching Workshop Division jointly completed, the Great Song Dynasty's Teaching Workshop Division is not a sale, but belongs to the slave status, but it is exclusively for the use of the imperial court banquet artists, selling art is not selling body. Especially after Queen Wang Yuyan made a decree, she became the private musician of the Heavenly Family.

The army is triumphant, there is only music, there is no song, and the generous melody makes the woman sing no longer charming, and there is basically no such thing as a man singing in this era......

There were 5,481 officers and men, 61 chariots, 2,873 horses, 36 oxen, 6 elephants, 1,701 musical instruments, and 1,548 staffs.

Zhao Zhen's big drive to the city is the beginning of the triumphal ceremony, as the queen Wang Yuyan, the imperial concubine Yang Caiwei, the concubine Vera, led the imperial heir to wait in front of the Xuande Gate early, behind the Xuande Gate is the imperial city, but also the emperor's home. Here they are not only waiting for the king of a country to conquer, but also for the husband and father of the head of the family.

Zhao Zhen sat in the car and saw Wang Yuyan and others, smiled and nodded, but before he could go down to speak, the car began to move again, and there were still a series of things to do after the triumph of the army, suing heaven and earth, Zongmiao, Sheji, Yuedu, mountains and rivers, sending officials to the palace and the shrine within ten miles of Beijing, and offering a gift with wine.

After all, this is the Son of Heaven's personal expedition and recovering the lost land, which is a grand event, and the more such rules and etiquette become, the more cumbersome it becomes. But at this moment, the only person who is impatient is Zhao Zhen, Xia Zhu and others are elated and excited, this is a grand event that belongs to the emperor, and it also belongs to their meritorious ministers.

After the cumbersome ceremony, the sacrifice of prisoners is also indispensable, and the soldiers will take the captured enemy chieftains to the temple and the temple to make a symbolic salute, and then perform the prisoner salute at the Xuande Gate. Tent seats have been set up in front of the gatehouse, civil and military officials and prisoner generals stand on the left and right downstairs, and a prisoner seat is set up in front of the building slightly south.

After the hundred officials arrived, the courtiers lifted the Banqi card upstairs with a red silk rope bag and reported to Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen took a seat, and hundreds of officials shouted long live salute. The courtiers shouted, "Bring in the prisoners."

The colonel brought the captives to the prisoner sacrifice position. The courtiers read out in public the "Lubu" of the victory over the enemy, that is, the good news. The secretary of the criminal department issued a notice that the prisoners of a certain place should be surrendered, and they should be handed over to the department for disposal. At this time, everyone looked at Zhao Zhen, and if the emperor ordered the death penalty, he would be taken to the court by Daliqing; If the emperor ordered the release, the courtiers issued a decree to release the shackles first, and then announced the release.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said: "You and the others are all soldiers of the Liao people, and they are also foreigners, but there is nothing wrong with fighting for the country, and the crime is not there!" This means that these captives have no worries about their lives, and can even return to the Liao Dynasty, and there will be people who will specialize in dispersing and entanglement.

The captives shouted three times, and then thanked them. The civil and military officials also bowed again, danced on the wat, and shouted long live, of course, their dance in Zhao Zhen was a bit of a "group of demons dancing" look......

Along the way, Zhao Zhen was tossed enough, and all kinds of cumbersome rituals and specifications gave him a headache, but this was necessary, the final ceremony finally arrived, Zhao Zhen was a little excited, and the courtiers shouted: "The army returns to the dynasty in triumph, everything is done, and the armor is removed——! ”
