Chapter 238: Sacrifice of Prisoners
Sacrifice of prisoners
After destroying the Eastern Turks, the royal family members and generals of the Eastern Turks were all escorted back to Chang'an, including Jieli
Since the day of the triumph of the army, the Ministry of Rites has been preparing to sacrifice prisoners. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading. And this time, Ding Yi failed to get special approval
As a former old opponent, Li Er condescendingly looked at Jieli who had been dressed up in the field. Four years ago, he was so majestic and arrogant
Today, he is my captive
The cultural relics are divided into hundreds of officials sitting on both sides, drinking wine and chatting, watching the singing and dancing.
At this time, Jieli can be said to have lost face, and his current wish is only to live in peace, and this humiliation is nothing to him.
After Jieli danced, Li Er said something to him that he had ever thought of today and let him go.
Today's sacrifice of prisoners is one thing, and the other point is to reward meritorious deeds
The first merit is naturally the commander Li Jing, who was promoted to Shangshu Youcheng to lead the three military and criminal engineering departments, and was crowned Doctor Guanglu, not to mention other food, silk, gold and silver
Hou Junji took over the post of secretary of the Ministry of War, and he was rewarded in a circle, and the people who participated in the war this time were all added to the ranks.
Li Er did not kill Jieli, but named him the King of Guiyi and the General of the Right Guard, and let him spend the rest of his life in Chang'an. Tuli surrendered and was named the king of Beiping. The Turkic generals Zhifu Sili, Ashnadur, Ashina Simo, and Qibi He Li all surrendered, and they were also appointed to the rank of military officer.
This can be described as a happy thing, and at this moment, Cheng Yanjin stood up
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do"
Well, as soon as Li Er saw Cheng Biting Jin's action, he knew that he didn't hold back any good fart, and said: "Quasi-playing"
"In this northern expedition, my Tang Dynasty is full of prestige. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading. It's just that there are no eyes on the battlefield, and the soldiers are killed and wounded in hundreds of days of continuous battles, but most of them survive."
"Compared with previous battles, the damage of our army has decreased by about 20% this time"
"And it's all because of one person"
Don't say you don't know, but be shocked when you say it
The battle report has long been counted, but no one pays much attention to this.
As soon as he said this, Li Er immediately ordered someone to bring this battle report, and at the same time took out the previous battle reports, all of which were war reports with the Turks, so it was easy to compare.
The people who participated in this war were all sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, and they knew very well what Cheng Yanjin said, and they also knew who he said that person was.
The rest of the people turned their heads to each other and discussed why Cheng Yanjin stood up to ask for credit for that person, which was already obviously asking for credit, but who that person was
For a while, the atmosphere in this venue was very weird, and there were all kinds of things
Through the joint efforts of Li Er, Chen Hong and several eunuchs, the post-war losses of several battles were finally compared.
"Why is this" Li Er frowned, could it be because of the decline in Turkic combat power
"It was only because the wounded soldiers received effective treatment that the tragedy of death was averted."
"Didn't there be a military doctor in the army before?"
"It's not that there are no doctors, but most of the wounded sergeants died of suppurating wounds."
"Before this northern expedition, someone sent a batch of talents and materials to the army, Your Majesty still remembers," Cheng Yanjin reminded.
Saying this, Li Er recalled who would be the person who dared to openly send supplies to the Northern Expeditionary Army
Those who do not understand the rules and dare to send supplies to the army are ill-intentioned
In this way, there is only one person
I still remember that last year, a naughty boy took his two sons to sew pork and sent a batch of fine wine to the army
"You mean, all of this is Ding Yiwei," Li Er asked suspiciously.
"Exactly"
Cheng Yanjin replied, and then said: "In the past, the officers and soldiers of our army could not be effectively treated after they were injured, and most of them died of suppuration of the wounds, but this time with the liquor offered by Ding Yi to clean the wounds, plus the military doctors stitched up the wounds, most of the wounded soldiers survived."
"Therefore, the minister hereby asks for credit for Ding Yi"
"The minister seconded" Qin Qiong stood up, which he deeply agreed.
"The minister seconded the proposal" Li Jing also stood up.
"Not only the spirits and stitching techniques, but also the signal flares sent from behind, on the battlefield many times provided a suitable time for our army to march into battle. Shiping Hou is really a great talent in our country, and the Shiping Hou of the Northern Expedition has made great contributions" Li Jing loves this signal flare very much, this is completely a new way of communication, although the role is limited, but it is used in ideas
"The minister seconded the proposal" Hou Junji and other military generals also stood up, although they stood up for different reasons, but they also really received the favor of this signal flare and other things
The officials were dumbfounded, this Ding Yi hid in Shiping all day, went back to Chang'an from time to time to make trouble, went to prison once and then returned to Shiping to hide for a period of time and continued. How did you get so much support from the military
"Your Majesty, there is also the matter of the rotary cultivator before" Du Ruhui also intervened at this time.
Li Er was embarrassed, yes, although Ding Yi was stubborn, he had done a lot of practical things. I still owe this kid several times for his merits and no reward, and now that he is mentioned, he should be rewarded
"Your Majesty, there is also the invention of anthracite by the Marquis of Shiping" After the formula of anthracite was lost in Shuozhou, Ding Yi handed over the formula to the imperial court, but the imperial court did not have time to produce it and bought a lot from Ding Yi
"Your Majesty, the manufacture of new paper by the Marquis of Shiping has greatly promoted the exchange of literati in our dynasty. A few days ago, movable type printing was proposed, and with this credit, I can't help but appreciate it," Kong Yingda reminded.
Oh, my God
I don't know it, but I'm shocked when I say it
It's only been a long time, and Ding Yi has made so many contributions
There are even some things that only Li Er and Ding Yi know, so much credit, Li Er has a headache, what reward should he give this kid
And when the people of Wang Cui's family heard this, their hearts beat drums
"Your Majesty, Marquis Shiping is still young, and too many rewards may not be a good thing for him" Cui Bencun stood up at this time, he had to stop it
"Your Majesty, the minister heard that the Marquis of Shiping is obsessed with the way of merchants, and his estates are countless. During the Wude period, an edict was issued prohibiting officials from doing business. The minister believes that he should be punished, "Wang Zhonghe, as an old fox with Cui Bencun's united front against Ding Xiaothief, how can he not stand up at this time."
"Wang Zhonghe, his mother, don't fart here" Cheng Yanjin was unhappy, and he gave Ding Yi a credit, he stood up to stop it, and it was really old Cheng who was bullied
"Vulgar" Wang Zhonghe filled his chest angrily, pointed at Cheng Biting Jin and scolded, and then ignored it, this Cheng Biting Jin is just a pole climb, it's better to ignore it
The old man Wei Zheng arched his hand and stood up: "Your Majesty, merit is merit, it is the luck of the court that there are so many talented people in my dynasty, and his character is indeed a little jumpy, but now that he is young, he can still change it."
