Chapter 197 Red Blood Returns to the Country, Jia Loyalty

This ceremony of sacrificing prisoners is enough to make the people of Lin'an at the scene unforgettable, and there will be many such sacrifices in the future, but this time made them the most impressive.

Seeing thousands of Guards phalanx for the first time was enough to be their talking point for a long time to come. Of course, because they all wore cloth hats, they couldn't see that some of the Liuqiu Guards had no hair on their heads, such as Li Yilao.

After the disbandment, he habitually took off his hat, but he was surprised to find that there was a flower on the hat, which had not fallen from his hat after such a long ceremony.

Holding the flower in his hand, he looked left and right, and then sniffed closer, and then he found the handwriting on the flower.

"Yu Zhiniang? Could it be that Yu Zhu's man can't pretend to be a woman? He played a joke on himself, and then carefully put the flower away. When was this flower thrown on his head? I remember passing through a street full of young women on both sides, and I seemed to see them pulling red cloth with the words "Ji Changlong" or something......

The name Jichanglong is not unfamiliar to Li Yilao, this is the workshop opened by Dalang at the beginning, and now Dalang has become the son of heaven, and this factory has also become a factory.

"I have the opportunity to ask if there is a woman named Yu Zhiniang in this factory." Li Yilao thought to himself.

This opportunity naturally existed, and after their guards came to sacrifice prisoners, they did not return to Xuzhou, but were stationed in Lin'an. With the power of a great victory, the entry of the guards into Lin'an to defend the Son of Heaven has become the unanimous call of the government and the opposition, and for such a strong army, placed in Xuzhou, the important ministers of the court and the central government are somewhat uneasy, they just don't say it.

Zhao Heju sighed with some satisfaction, if it weren't for this battle, he wanted to transfer the guards to Lin'an on a large scale, but he was afraid that he would still be constrained by the ministers, and if others didn't say it, Yue Ke would be the first to do it. Now the Guards are divided into three, one in Xuzhou, one in Lin'an, and the other in Liuqiu, the courtiers are eager to see this strong army being "divided and placed", but they don't know, which means that Xuzhou, Lin'an, and Liuqiu have all planted the seeds of the Guards. As long as it takes a while, Zhao and Ju can have three modern iron armies.

"Bring him." He suppressed the smugness in his heart and commanded below.

This is no longer in front of the public, but in the Great Inner Forbidden Palace, Zhao and Ju are waiting for Temujin. Although Temujin had now become his captive, Zhao and Ju felt that as a reminder of the time and space he had traveled, he should have waited for Temujin here once.

After all, there is no need to worry about a dying person whose head is about to travel far away.

A moment later, Temujin came up with Shima Guangyan and Li Ye, and Zhao and Ju first gave Shima Guangyan and Li Ye to sit before they began to look at Temujin.

Similarly, Temujin was also looking at the Great Song Emperor who had defeated him.

The Son of Heaven of the Song Kingdom was very young, so young that he remembered his young son Tuolei, but fortunately he went back to escort the siege equipment, so he was not killed in the chaos. At the same time, this young son of Song had a temperament that he didn't understand, that kind of feeling that was as deep as the sea, Temujin frowned, how could he lose to such a hairy child?

"Temujin, you have said that there is nothing more bliss in life than to defeat the enemy, to chase the enemy, to take everything that he has, to wash his face with tears when he sees him, to ride his horse, and to take his wife and daughter. Yes and no? ”

The guards were about to push Temujin to his knees, but Zhao Youju waved his hand and let him stand like this, and then asked.

"Yes!" Temujin listened to Shima Hirohiko's translation, and said in a deep voice.

"You once killed your brother-in-law Zamuhe and father-in-law Toli who helped you, right?"

"Yes!" Temujin was unashamed.

"You've destroyed countless countries, slaughtered countless people, and destroyed countless cities, right?" Zhao Youju was expressionless, and asked again.

"Yes!" Temujin replied proudly.

"So, I sentenced you to death for crimes against humanity and civilization, do you have anything else to say?" Zhao Youju finally came up with a sneer.

"Anti-human? Anti-civilization? ”

When translating the word civilization, Shima Hirohiko really spent a lot of brains, and to understand this sentence, Temujin also used his brain, after a while, he sneered: "The winner lives, the loser dies, the dynasty change of your Han people, which time is not a river of blood, slaughtering the city and killing countless people?" ”

Zhao Youju nodded, he would never deny this matter, even the national dynasty was subject to Zhou Chan, and there was a thick bloodshed behind it. But he glanced at Temujin contemptuously: "When our Han dynasty changed, none of the true sons of heaven took pleasure in killing. They do have conquests and killings, but this conquest and killing is used as a last resort, but they are not like you, destroying human nature and losing their conscience, killing for pleasure, and plundering for business! They are destroying, but they are also building, just as you are destroying and not doing anything! ”

"The king of victory and defeat are defeated, I have nothing to say." Temujin raised his head: "I have lived for more than sixty years, conquered the world, conquered unprecedented territory, slept with countless women, killed countless warriors, and my life is worth it. ”

Zhao Youju sneered: "Is it worth it, there are descendants to comment, as for you, if you have no other words, then wait for death with peace of mind." ”

"Are you really going to kill me?" Temujin stared at Zhao Youju, there was no fear on his face, he just wondered: "Didn't you say that you Han emperors like to drive our warriors on the grassland?" ”

"I like to drive, too, but it's never you." Zhao Youju didn't bother to say anything to him, this was a stubborn old chief, he didn't have so much time and energy to convince him, the reason why he was summoned to see it was just because Li Ye didn't kill him directly on the battlefield, and he was just curious about this person with the name of "a generation of Tianjiao".

The people pulled Temujin down, and Shi Mo Guangyan knew the opportunity, and also said goodbye and left, only Li Ye remained. Zhao and Ju came to Li Ye, Li Ye didn't dare to sit anymore, stood up straight, and made a salute.

"Han Fan, do an excellent job, do an excellent job, with you here, I have nothing to worry about." Zhao Youju smiled slightly, and then said a little sadly: "It's just that our casualties are also very heavy." ”

Li Ye was also silent, he asked himself about this matter, although he also made a lot of mistakes in command, but in general, it should be regarded as a proper command, but the casualties were still so heavy, after the joy of victory, he himself couldn't sleep at night, and he didn't know how to face those brothers and sisters after returning to Liuqiu.

"The fourth lady will go back and beg for a trip to mourn for me...... I will build a temple in Liuqiu and Lin'an to worship these people who sacrificed their lives for the country. Zhao Youju seemed to know what he was thinking, and said slowly: "Their relatives, those who can be taken care of must also be taken care of, you also keep this matter in mind, if someone is doing something in the matter of compensation, you will report it directly to me, and I will make him regret it for life!" ”

"Yes!"

"And your own ......" Zhao Heju sat back in his position, looked at Li Ye, looked up and down for a long time, and then said with a smile: "You have already married a wife in Xuzhou?" Neither shall I say anything to me, nor shall I give you any gifts. ”

"It's just a trivial matter, how dare you alarm the Holy Hearing?" Li Ye was a little surprised, his delicate wife came a little incorrectly, and she used some means.

"Be careful, don't let me down, remember what I said, I will take you forward, forward, you have to keep running with me, if anyone stops, or runs off the road, I won't stay and wait for him!"

Hearing Zhao and Ju speak so solemnly, Li Ye straightened his chest and answered "yes" again.

"After I come back, I have two things, you can choose one of them, one is to go back to Xuzhou, continue to guard the gate for me, and you will be promoted to one level in rank, and the other is ...... Do you still remember what I taught you? ”

"Minister's habit!" Li Ye said.

"Okay, the other one is to come to Lin'an, I want to open an officer school, you are the correction, and at the same time the commander of the new Gongsheng Army." Zhao Heju lowered his voice slightly: "I want to train a new army, and I want to firmly hold this new army in the hands of people I trust." Are you going back to Xuzhou or Lin'an? ”

"Lin'an!"

After thinking about it in his heart, Li Ye felt that listening to the will of the Son of Heaven, there would be no war in Xuzhou in a short time, and others could do it for daily guarding, and he would not earn much credit. On the contrary, when you return to Lin'an, one is to guard the gate for the Son of Heaven, the other is to train the new army, and the third is to train grassroots generals, any of which is a great merit!

He had an ambition in his early years to be a leading general, and now this ambition has been realized, even far beyond his imagination back then. But on the other hand, his identity is very embarrassing, known as the "Xuzhou Governor", but in terms of rank, Mo said that he and the rest of the envoys are the half-hung Jingdong managers like Peng Yibin, who are also much higher than him.

The righteous boy has persevered to this day because of his gratitude and loyalty to Zhao and Ju, and in the same way, Zhao and Ju must continue to let them continue to be grateful and maintain their loyalty.

"Okay, it's good for you to come to Lin'an, then I can let him out." Zhao Youju smiled slightly, and it could be regarded as revealing his Xuzhou governor to him: "After leaving me, you go to arrest Qin Chongde, I haven't told him the news yet, you give him good news, and you will definitely let him invite you to dinner." ”

"Hehe, if Your Majesty doesn't say it, the minister will."

"In this battle of Taizhuang, you have sorted out any experiences and lessons, and what are the requirements for improving the artillery, these weapons and other equipment, so as to make them more suitable for actual combat, you also sort them out. I see that Li Guozhi is also on the list of coming back this time, the Gong Shengjun also needs artillery, you can transfer him as your assistant, as for his current position, let him recommend two people to be selected and I will make a ruling. Zhao and Ju ordered them one by one, and Li Ye secretly remembered them in his heart.

Transferring Li Ye to Lin'an was Zhao Heju's predetermined strategy, although he gave Li Ye a choice, but in fact Li Ye had no choice, with his character of wanting to make contributions, it was impossible to stay in Xuzhou to spend time. When he returned to Lin'an and separated him from the Liuqiu Guards, he would inevitably have the support of the Chinese courtiers of the court, who were full of suspicion of the generals, and even Choi was not exempt. And with the power of Taizhuang's great victory, Li Ye naturally cannot be placed at will when he enters the center, and with his current military exploits, even if he becomes a palace marshal, it can only be said that he is a compromise. But the civilian officials will not easily let Li Ye rise to a high position, in this case, the newly built Gongsheng Army is in command and the Great Song Army School in preparation has become the best position to place Li Ye, and then add some honorary titles and false titles, which can be said to be reasonable inside and out.

Naturally, Zhao Heju doesn't want Li Ye to be sharp alone, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, Li Ye is at such an age, and he is a military general, if he really does not have a reward, that is, he is not suspicious, and those civil officials will also be suspicious.

After Li Ye left the palace, he looked around for a while, and saw a palace guard from the Liuqiu Primary School, so he beckoned him to come over: "Where is Qin Chongde, can you help me call him?" ”

Since the guard was born in the Liuqiu Primary School, he was naturally very familiar with Li Ye, and said with a smile after saluting: "Fang is still here, saying that he is waiting for Mr. Li to come out, Mr. Li, can I ask you for a favor, transfer me to Xuzhou, seeing you kill Menghu one by one, my heart is itching......"

"I see that you are itchy in the flesh, is there anything more important in this world than protecting the safety of the Son of Heaven?" Li Ye rolled his eyes and glared at him, then turned his anger into a smile: "But I will think of a way for you, you are from the second phase of the primary school, is your surname Gong?" ”

"Mr. Li has a good memory, I'll go and invite someone for you!" Hearing Li Ye's answer, the guard was overjoyed and ran away as soon as he slipped away.

The reward for the meritorious soldiers was quickly issued, and in addition to the expected money, there was also something unexpected by both the soldiers and the civil and military officials, that is, the medal. All the soldiers who participated in the Battle of Taizhuang, whether it was the Guards or the Loyal Army or the Huainan Army, each of them was issued with an iron "Medal of Courage of the Third Class", and the wounded were issued with an additional "Red Blood Medal", and the bereaved families of the dead were given another "Medal for Serving the Country", and the Medal of Courage and the Red Blood Medal were returned, but the "Medal for Serving the Country" and its certificate were not issued casually, so that the imperial grain and national taxes could be reduced for 20 years, and a son could be admitted to the Song Dynasty Primary School, and the food and lodging were all spent by the Inner Treasury of the Son of Heaven!

In addition, there is also the Medal of Courage of the Second Class, which is awarded to those who have made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and can be awarded if they can be beheaded, or if the robes and commanders prove that they played an important role in the war struggle.

The highest of the Medal of Courage is the Special Medal of Courage, Tian Jiehu and Wu Quan got it, and the two of them were lucky, although they were wounded by arrows, thanks to the blessing of the medical soldiers of the Guards, it was not fatal. Equally fortunate to them were Shi Dasco and Yu Zhu, who were seriously injured and unconscious, buried under the pile of corpses, only to be awakened by the explosion of a mine near the end of the battle.

In addition to these three types of medals, there are also the "Order of Loyalty" and the fourth-class "Bian Que Medal", which are awarded to civilian officials who have not been on the battlefield but have also contributed to the battle, and medical soldiers who have saved lives on the battlefield.

After the medal was issued, there were always guards with shining medals on their chests walking in Lin'an City these days, and all the shops that sold the goods were notified, and these guards soldiers with medals came to buy things, all at the lowest discount, which made the people of Lin'an extremely envious.
