Chapter 172: The New Year is Approaching

With the return of Wang Zishu and others to Beijing, they began to send urns to their families one after another, sending the greatest respect to their former comrades. There are royal gifts, plus a handwritten letter from Zhao Xiaoxi, the prince of the county, and an inscribed monument for future generations to worship.

The grief of this aftermath finally made these family members feel a little better. Speaking of which, these martial arts families, how many heirs are there in that family?

To get such an honor will only cause trouble for the family when it is sent to the cavalry. These fallen sons and daughters of the army have not been blind to Zhao Xiaoxi, the commander, once in vain.

As the highest-ranking military commander in Beijing this time, Wang Zishu also assumed the responsibility of seeing off his comrades. In this battle, a soldier with a relatively high family background was the Han family, who had three courtiers.

Even if this minister has passed away, his family has many children who are officials in the court. His eldest son is even more known as a new civil official who has the opportunity to succeed his father as a minister of the court. And this soldier who died in battle was Han Lin, the second son of Han Zhongyan, who is currently serving as the secretary of the imperial court.

He had long known that his son had died as a hundred cavalry officers in this battle, and Han Zhongyan could also be said to be distressed. Looking at Wang Zishu, there were other cavalry soldiers kneeling to carry the urn, as well as the armor and weapons that Han Lin wore before his death.

It is clear that this is the only honor enjoyed by the fallen soldiers. Han Zhongyan also understood that this had a lot to do with his son's family background as the only cavalry general who died in this battle.

With tears in his eyes, he took the armor that these sons had worn before his death, as a family with a literary heirloom. There is such a military attache who can be treated so favorably by the imperial court, Han Zhongyan also knows.

, a son who has been fond of literature and martial arts since he was a child, finally fulfilled his promise that he could glorify his ancestors without studying. Just in this way. As his father proves, Han Zhongyan's heart is naturally uncomfortable!

handed the ashes and armor to the eldest son beside him, and Han Zhongyan personally helped Wang Zishu up. Suppressing the sadness in his heart, he said: "Zishu Xian nephew, on behalf of the Han family, the old man would like to thank you for sending Xiaolin back, please accept the old man's worship!" ”

It is clear that this kind of escort of the ashes of the family back home. For any family member, it should be treated favorably, and Han Zhongyan, who is used to being a family heirloom. At this moment, he didn't rely on being a household secretary, so he despised Wang Zishu, a young guerrilla general.

In the face of Han Zhongyan's salute, Wang Zishu hurriedly got up and helped him, and said with a little sadness: "Uncle Han, Brother Lin wrote a letter to his family before he joined the war, and we found it when we were packing up our relics and brought it back with us.

In addition, the prince of the county also wrote a letter to you. I apologize to my uncle, and I hope that my uncle can mourn and change. In addition, Brother Lin said in the army that he was worried about Han Fan's way out.

When he returned to Beijing this time, the little nephew specially asked the prince of the county. If the uncle is willing, the prince of the county can make an exception to recruit his brother into the cavalry camp. As long as Brother Fan'er can keep up with the training of the cavalry, he will take over Brother Lin's position in the army when he goes out next time. ”

Hearing Wang Zishu's words, a powerful young man standing beside Han Zhongyan immediately knelt down and said loudly: "Father." I want to join the cavalry army and join the army for my second brother. Complete his unfulfilled last wish! ”

knows that this fourth son is not from the text. In the previous cavalry selection, Han Zhongyan did not let him participate, and he has been waiting for next year's selection. I hope to join this cavalry army led by the Son of Heaven!

Now seeing the death of the second son, the fourth son plans to enter this cavalry army, where risks and benefits coexist. Han Zhongyan, who is a father. For a while, it was really quick to make a decision.

Perhaps seeing his hesitation, Wang Zishu quickly said: "Uncle Han, the little nephew and these brothers will return after the New Year in Beijing." There is still a period of time, as long as the day of leaving the capital. The uncle can give the little nephew an answer. ”

After saying a few words of greeting, Wang Zishu and the rest of the cavalry soldiers quickly left here. Send urns to the next family of the dead, and with their departure, those official homes that welcome back the ashes of their children and grandchildren.

They soon hung up white cloths and white lanterns, preparing to hold a beautiful burial ceremony for the children and grandchildren who returned to their hometowns. For a time, the white cloth in Bianliang City can also be said to have become a bestseller.

After sending the ashes of the fallen soldiers, Wang Zishu and the others began to separate, to send letters to those colleagues who could not return this time. Compared with the previous sadness, those family members were very happy in the face of their arrival at this moment.

It is said that family letters are worth thousands of dollars, although children and grandchildren cannot return to Beijing, they can receive family letters from children and grandchildren at this time. Knowing their situation in the army, the relatives of these cavalry officers and soldiers also seemed very happy.

After completing all the circumstances, the cavalry who returned to Beijing returned home to enjoy the joy of reunion with a tired and dusty heart. The families of these cavalrymen were undoubtedly very happy to see their return.

Children and grandchildren have a chance, and as an elder, they are naturally happy. The great victory of the cavalry in Qinfeng Road this time made the elders who had been embarrassed by them before, but this time they greatly increased their faces.

Compared with the men in the family, let these children and grandchildren who have returned home continue to work hard. The women of the family told them that they must be careful when they go to the battlefield in the future. Don't send their ashes back next time, and the whole family will be shrouded in an atmosphere of sadness.

As is the case in all things, where there is joy and there is sorrow. But no matter what, this year's capital can be regarded as a happy event more than a sad event. With this big but not big victory, there are fewer troubles at the border. The monarchs and the people have also passed a year of dissipation.

With these glorious cavalry returning to Beijing, they woke up from joy. The first time they didn't have to train, they didn't have to go out to exercise, but they still got up at dawn on time to polish their bodies.

This trip to the battlefield made them realize that life and death are just a moment of feeling. Whether it is archery or force value, the slightest deficiency will cost you your life.

The sad expressions of those dead comrades also diluted the joy in their hearts. I don't dare to relax just because I go home, on the contrary, I am still used to morning training.

In the face of the changes of their own children and grandchildren, the elders who still have unworthy children and grandchildren in the family also began to think about the New Year. The cavalry will conduct a round of selection in Beijing, is it possible to throw them into it to temper themselves.

I want to ensure the longevity of the family, and whether the children and grandchildren are promising, can also explain the family's heritage. These children and grandchildren, who had no hope before, came back from a circle in the cavalry, and their temperament and conversation have changed.

Their elders all know that as long as these children and grandchildren are given a long-term development, their achievements in the military in the future may not be lower than in the officialdom. If you can be crowned a general and worship the marquis, then there will really be green smoke on the ancestors.

The change in the mentality of civilian, military and military generals naturally led to the bad luck of those gentlemen in these families. Unless it is the kind of family that is really weak, it can be exempted from being ordered to practice martial arts.

The gentlemen who have a slightly better physique and will not achieve anything in the officialdom will be thrown by the elders of their families to the martial arts hall or the family guard for training.

Cancel the previous treatment of the rich and young who came to open their mouths for food and stretched out their hands for clothes, and prepared for the selection of cavalry after the New Year. Even if I don't want them to glorify their ancestors, I don't want them to spend the rest of their lives in vain in the future.

The transformation of the children of these officials and eunuchs who returned to Beijing was not only seen by the civil ministers and military generals in Beijing, but also by the people in the city. No matter how they treat others, it's like a different person, how can they, as elders, not be happy and envious?

In order to let their children get a good way out after the New Year. Recently, King Xu's Mansion has become lively again, and there are more people looking for King Xu Zhao Hao to drink tea. All this made Zhao Hao, an idle prince, also experience the treatment of a father and a son.

The only regret is that Zhao Xiaoxi still can't return to Beijing this time to accompany his family to celebrate the New Year. But no matter what, Zhao Xiaoxi can rely on his own ability to constantly prove his strength and enjoy the grace of the two palaces. As a father, Xu Hao, what is there to be dissatisfied?

Zhao Xiaoxi didn't know these things, and he led the cavalry all the way through the city, and he had successfully returned to the county palace in Chengdu. After arranging the two daughters and Duan Yu to live and rest inside, they did not forget to arrange the next step of the cavalry.

The nearly 8,000 cavalry brought back this time, as well as the cavalry left behind, the number of cavalry has officially reached more than 10,000. The expansion of the cavalry barracks, as well as the expansion that will be carried out next year, need to be arranged.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who originally planned to let Zhang Tingguang stay on Qinfeng Road and serve as the commander of the way, finally chose to take him back to the cavalry camp. In this battle, Zhang Tingguang also contributed a lot, and the imperial court had exempted him from punishment.

Officially with the official position of commander, he served as the deputy commander of the cavalry. This also made Zhang Tingguang truly understand that holding Zhao Xiaoxi's thighs tightly, his achievements in the future will not be limited to the position of a commander.

After the first battle of leading the troops, Zhao Xiaoxi began to think again that after this year, he would go to the rivers and lakes to have a good time. After all, there was not much time left from the Tianlong Jianghu he knew.

In the future, Zhao Xiaoxi doesn't know how it will develop. But what he knows, he hopes to be able to participate in it. At least that tragic hero, if possible, Cho Hyo-seok didn't want him to die.

The information transferred from the cloth pavilion, that Qiao Da Hero has become a notorious Fanbang thief in the mouth of the heroes of the rivers and lakes at this moment. It's not going to be a good day!

In order to avoid Aju's tragedy, Cho Hyo-seok felt that it was better to end it early. At present, the identity of the commander of the cavalry who leads the battle is changed back to the identity of Zhao Yun, the white horse and silver gun, to feel the blood and tears of the rivers and lakes.

It's just that he has responsibilities, and some things he must arrange properly in order to arrange his work with confidence. It was handed over to Zhang Tingguang, as well as his subordinates, who were worthy of the great responsibilities.

This kind of work arrangement is an unshirkable responsibility and obligation as a cavalry commander. can implement his arrangement, that is, Zhang Tingguang, the deputy commander, and the work of those thousand cavalry generals. At this point, Zhao Xiaoxi is still very clear! (To be continued......)
