Chapter 385: Going Home

Ten days later, the reward of the imperial court was sent to Datong Town, and Liu Juntao immediately distributed the money rewarded by the imperial court, and the whole army was thunderous.

At the same time, Emperor Jingtai issued an order to seal the army as the Tiance Army, and Liu Juntao and other generals were all awarded martial arts and loose ranks, which shocked the morale of the army.

However, at this time, Liu Juntao's heart was more worried, Emperor Jingtai gave the army a heavenly policy, what is a heavenly policy?

The name Tiance was taken from the Tiance Mansion established before Taizong of the Tang Dynasty succeeded to the throne, and later generations have always used the word Tiance as a synonym for the pillars of the country.

At this time, the battle between Emperor Jingtai and Emperor Taishang Orthodox Emperor had just come to an end, and Emperor Taishang Emperor Orthodox Emperor was suppressed to death.

"Your Majesty has already gained an advantage, but you are still not at ease, you are so suspicious, how can you convince people!"

Liu Juntao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

And Liu Zi'an and Zhang Yuqing also saw this, and rushed to the Chinese army's big tent to remind Liu Juntao that they must be cautious in dealing with the imperial court in the future, and they must not be involved in the battle for the throne too early!

Liu Juntao also nodded yes, throughout the thousands of years of history of China, anyone who has been involved in the battle for the throne, whether it is a civil minister or a general, or a prince and prince, there are few who have died well.

Therefore, from this moment on, Liu Juntao tightened a string in his heart, and did not dare to take it lightly.

"The best way now is to follow the general trend, let history go on the established trajectory, and gain momentum from it!"

Liu Juntao also made up his mind in his heart.

After that, Liu Juntao prepared all the money, food, equipment, flags, and prisoners captured by the army in the fierce battle, and left them in Datong Town, and soon the military headquarters would send men and horses to pick them up.

Of course, Liu Juntao was not interested in the money, grain, banners, prisoners and most of the military equipment in these captures, and was ready to leave all of them and hand them over to the imperial court.

But there are still more than 10,000 horses in the capture, these horses are all war horses that can charge into battle, and now Liu Juntao is not short of money, food, and military equipment, the only thing missing is war horses.

So Liu Juntao selected more than 4,000 war horses to leave and left the remaining 6,000 war horses to the imperial court.

Liu Juntao is ready to integrate all the more than 4,000 war horses carefully selected into the Iron Cavalry Army, just expanding the strength of the Iron Cavalry Army to 10,000!

Of course, these things will have to wait until the army returns to Yanzhou Mansion.

A few days later, Liu Juntao dealt with the follow-up of the war, and led the army to set up a large camp a few miles south of Datong Town, and after preparing to rest for two days, he led the army south to return to Yanzhou Mansion.

During this period, Tang Yu, the Minister of Commerce, also rushed to the camp with a team of more than 100 people, and reported to Liu Juntao a series of plans formulated by the Ministry of Commerce, preparing to do a big job in Datong Town and its surroundings.

Liu Juntao was also very satisfied after reading it, but he still instructed: "In Datong, it is better than in Shandong, and we must have a good relationship with the civil and military officials of Datong Town and Datong Mansion." In addition, all mines and workshops should start construction as soon as possible, so as to serve the Yushan Military Bureau, the Xuzhou Military Bureau, and the Dongpingzhou Ordnance Institute to increase production......"

Tang Yu also wrote down this one by one, and added some of Liu Juntao's suggestions to the plan of the Ministry of Commerce.

Two days later, Liu Juntao prepared to lead the army back to Yanzhou Mansion the next day, so he held a banquet in the big tent of the Chinese army, and invited Xue Tong, who had been promoted to the chief military officer of Datong Town for meritorious service, Xie Feng, the prefect of Datong Prefecture, and the envoy of the acting prince's mansion to the camp.

The first is to say goodbye to everyone, and the second is to introduce Tang Yu, the Minister of Commerce, to everyone, and ask everyone to take care of it.

In this regard, Xue Tong, the chief military officer of Datong Town, Xie Feng, the prefect of Datong Mansion, and the envoy of the acting king's mansion were all full of promises, and toasted each other with Tang Yu.

Early the next morning, tens of thousands of troops were packed up and lined up in the wilderness.

At this time, Xue Tong, the chief military officer of Datong Town, Xie Feng, the governor of Datong Prefecture, and the chief envoy of the acting royal mansion all came to see off Liu Juntao, and the people in Datong City also rushed to see off the soldiers of the army.

Liu Juntao looked at the crowd of people who came to see him off, and his heart was also agitated, and he kept waving to the crowd.

Liu Juntao also said a lot to Xue Tong, the chief military officer of Datong Town, Xie Feng, the governor of Datong Mansion, and the envoy of the acting king's mansion, and finally hugged his fists and said: "Everyone! We will not change the green mountains, the green water will flow forever, you must come to Yanzhou Mansion to be a guest one day, and we will have a good time when the time comes! ”

"Good! When the time comes, I will definitely bother Mr. Liu! ”

"I heard that Yanzhou Mansion is changing with each passing day, I will definitely take a look later!"

After bidding farewell to everyone, Liu Juntao turned over and led tens of thousands of troops to the south, rushing towards Yanzhou Mansion.

On this return trip, the army still took the route of Datong Town, Taiyuan Mansion, Shunde Mansion, Dongchang Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion, and the army marched all the way and arrived at Yushan Town in only 17 days.

At this time, Yushan Town was already a big city in the north of Yanzhou Prefecture, even larger than Dongpingzhou.

Yushan Town is the birthplace of Liu Juntao, in recent years, Yushan Town has not only increased in population, but also all kinds of novelty artifacts in the city are also emerging, many workshops and shops under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Commerce, where there are any new things, will now be sold and used in Yushan Town, which also makes Yushan Town the most "advanced" town in Shandong, and even in the whole Ming Dynasty!

Liu Juntao directly led the army into the city, and it was no longer a matter of tens of thousands of troops stationed in Yushan Town at this time.

When the army entered the city, the entire Yushan town was boiling, and almost all the people poured into the streets, watching the demeanor of the soldiers of the army.

When Liu Juntao and other generals appeared on horseback, countless people went even more crazy.

"Look! That's Mr. Liu! Back then, I was still a guard under General Liu, and when I destroyed the Wang family, I was still in battle! ”

"It's General Zhang! When I was in Ansan Town, I was under General Zhang, and if I hadn't been injured later, I would have been mighty in the army now! ”

"General Yan! That's the old man of our Yushan Town, when the Yushan Collective Guard was established, I was still a neighbor of General Yan! ”

"It's General Chen and General Gao, those are the brothers of the original stove household, good job!"

"General Sun! I also moved from Slip Town, that's our Sun Counselor General of Slip Town! ”

"What Slip Town? Now everyone is a family, all from Yushan Town! ”

"That's right! People from Yushan Town! ”

For a while, the people around the street were boiling, countless people shouted and cheered, and the soldiers of the army were also excited, waving to the crowd, even Zhang Xiaojun, Yan Hu and others, many soldiers were so excited that they shed tears.

At this moment, everyone understands what Liu Juntao meant by the sense of honor of a soldier before, and only now can he understand that as a Ming general, he can be so mighty and proud!

That night, the entire Yushan Town stayed awake all night, and hundreds of people lit lanterns and took to the streets to celebrate the triumphant return of the soldiers of the army, which was more lively than the New Year.

Tens of thousands of soldiers stayed in Yushan Town for four days, and only after four days did they continue south to Yanzhou Prefecture.

This time, the imperial court ordered the abolition of Yanzhou Town and the establishment of Shandong Town, which was located in the capital city of Jinan.

However, Liu Juntao still needs to go back to Yanzhou Mansion to deal with relevant matters first, and it is estimated that he will not be able to leave for Jinan Mansion for a while.

Five days later, tens of thousands of soldiers arrived in the city of Yanzhou, according to Liu Juntao's order, the soldiers entered the city from the north gate of Yanzhou City, and then went out of the city from the south gate, passed through the city, boasted of their achievements in the streets, and then camped in the south of the city to stand by.

On this day, the entire Yanzhou Mansion City was also in a boil, and Song Er, the commander of the city guard, and Gu Quan, the prefect of Yanzhou Prefecture, also led the civil and military officials in the city to greet them.

At this time, Liu Juntao has been reappointed as the chief military officer of Shandong Town, which can be said to be a rising tide, although Song Er and Gu Quan did not deal with Liu Juntao, but they still made a flattering and congratulatory look on the surface.

At the same time, the two did not dare to offend Liu Juntao at this time, after all, Liu Juntao was already a big celebrity in the imperial court at this time, and small characters like Song Er and Gu Quan could not afford to offend.
