On April 1 of the second year of Jianning, ten miles east of Luoyang City, under the escort of more than 1,000 Jinwu subordinate soldiers, the ministers of the court and the central government were all dressed in court clothes and waited in place.

And from time to time there were some discussions, and Da Honglu Yuan Kui whispered to Taifu Hu Guang, "Taifu, the etiquette required by His Majesty is a little higher, right?" ”

Hu Guang looked at Yuan Kui with a smile and said, "Da Honglu, I really don't know what Your Majesty means?" ”

Yuan Kui smiled awkwardly when he saw this, so he retreated, and scolded in his heart, "Old thing, how I don't know what the emperor meant, hum, it's you who suffers anyway." ”

At this time, a soldier came on a horse quickly, stopped in front of Taifu Hu Guang, bowed down and said, "Taifu, the army is ten miles away from here." ”

Taifu nodded, held his beard and said, "Report again." ”

"No"

After the armor had made a salute, he mounted his horse and departed.

Taifu turned around and said, "Gentlemen, the army is coming soon, and we should wait for each other in formation." ”

"What the Honorable Master said."

Everyone said in unison, and then stood up according to the size of the official position, quietly waiting for the arrival of the army.

After a while, suddenly the earth shook, and the sound of "boom, boom" was endless.

Immediately, the important ministers of the central government watched a red torrent sweep over, and many ministers couldn't help but exclaim.

"Is this my Han Cavalry?"

"How many years has it been since my big man had such a large cavalry corps!"

"Yes! You see. These soldiers sit on horseback, without the slightest hint of bumps, which shows that they are elite divisions! ”

Taifu Hu Guang looked at the elite galloping cavalry of the Northern Army, listened to the praise of the courtiers, a trace of tears appeared in his eyes, and he thought excitedly in his heart, "The Han Dynasty will be able to restore the glory of Emperor Wu." ”

When he was two miles away from the courtiers, Yuan Kui, the great Honglu, shouted loudly, "Play music." ”

Immediately, the court musicians who came with him played the high "Tang King Breaking Array Music".

This piece was restored by Liu Hong in later generations to listen to experts, although it failed to reach such a majestic and mighty sound due to the number of limitations, but it also impressed Liu Hong, in order to give the triumphant army, the highest standard of welcoming ceremony.

Liu Hong specially ordered the court musicians to study overnight, and finally was able to play on the day of the return of the army.

When the army was thirty steps away from the courtiers, Dong Pet rode forward and came ten steps away from the courtiers, dismounted and leaned over to salute with his fists, and said, "General Dong Pet lived up to the emperor's grace and returned victoriously to quell the rebellion." ”

When Taifu heard this, he said, "General Hou, Your Majesty said that the wounded soldiers of the Great War stepped forward. ”

Dong Pet nodded, Dong Pet had been informed of the process of returning this time, so he waved his hand to the army behind him, and thousands of wounded soldiers walked slowly to the side.

Among them, there were many people who had broken their legs or were seriously injured and could not walk, so together with the soldiers who supported the wounded soldiers, there were as many as 10,000 people who came.

When Taifu saw these wounded soldiers, he immediately understood the profound meaning of what Liu Hong had done.

At this time, Da Honglu Yuan Kui said in a loud voice: "Taifu Hu Guang saluted on behalf of the Son of Heaven. ”

Taifu's face was straight, and he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, this official will bow to the wounded soldiers in this battle three times on behalf of the Son of Heaven. ”

As soon as the words fell, he bowed his head and bowed, and his long placket reached the ground.

Every time he bowed, Da Honglu sang and drank loudly.

"Here, thank you for fighting for the country to protect the Han Dynasty."

"Here, thank you for killing the enemy in front of the battle, so as to protect the Han Sheji."

"Here, thank you for exterminating the rebels to protect the Han people."

After three worships, the wounded soldiers of the Han army were all moved to tears, since ancient times, the fallen soldiers and wounded soldiers are the saddest group.

They cannot go into battle to kill the enemy, and they have to make meritorious deeds. nor can they engage in farming, because they are no longer able-bodied. They could only get a one-time, small and pitiful pension from the imperial court.

But now, when the emperor of the Taifu Dynasty saluted these wounded soldiers, they already felt that this life was enough.

Even the able-bodied soldiers cast envious glances.

At this time, at this time, Dahonglu Yuan Kui shouted, "Your Majesty has a decree, and the soldiers of the three armies will receive the decree." ”

The officers and men of the three armies hurriedly dismounted and saluted with their fists folded, waiting for the holy decree.

"The soldiers of the three armies fought for the country, quelled the rebellion, and ensured the safety of the Han Dynasty in the community. All the soldiers who participated in the war can be divided into the fields according to their military merits, and the number of those who died in battle is doubled. The land is not available for sale, and if there is no one in the house, it can be sold to the government at the market price. ”

"In addition, the officers and soldiers of the new army broke Xianbei and the salt army, and their merits were very great, and they were specially given the name of the unparalleled army, which means that they are unparalleled in the world."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When the officers and men of the three armies heard the content of the holy decree, they all bowed and thanked each other, according to their military merits and fields.

This alone is enough to make ordinary soldiers ecstatic, where did the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty come from?

The conflict of interests between the family and the common people is growing, and the root cause of this conflict is land.

Now that Liu Hong has taken the throne, he has continuously suppressed the family, and there are countless things to raid the family, in order to alleviate the etiquette conflict between the family and the people.

The previous armor smuggling case gave Liu Hong the opportunity to master the Sili region in one fell swoop.

It can be said that it has been more than a year to prepare, and at this time Liu Hong finally made a move.

However, Dahonglu Yuan Kui did not stop, but took another holy decree from the hands of the people around him, "The soldiers of the Han army fought for the country, and they must not think about it, so the soldiers who died in battle were posthumously crowned as martyrs, and their faces were carved on the inner wall of the outer wall of Luoyang, which was regarded as glory!" and the children of the fallen soldiers are supported by the imperial court to adulthood. At the end of the year, the government gave the families of the martyrs some money, food and meat to show that they would not forget. ”

Hearing this, the officers and men of the three armies were moved and cheered.

And Hu Guang thought of the thing that was not written in the holy decree, but he said it to himself.

"Reading?"

When Liu Hong said that he wanted to let the families of those martyrs study, Hu Guang said in surprise.

Liu Hong had already thought of Hu Guanghui's reaction, so he said, "Don't worry about it, Taifu, I still started to work on this matter, although the East Factory is an intelligence agency, it is also my factory and a place for talent reserves!" ”

"At the beginning of the year, I ordered Dongchang to pick up the young children who had been orphaned by the flood in the middle of the year in the mountains and teach them cultural and martial arts. I believe that in twenty years, I will have a group of low-level officials who can serve as the thirteen states of the Great Han Dynasty. ”

Hu Guang was shocked when he heard this, and just looked at Liu Hong with a long mouth and a stunned look.

After a long while, Hu Guangcai came back to his senses and said, "Your Majesty, if this is the case, the Han will have no worries!" ”

Liu Hong smiled softly, noncommittal.

Thinking of this, Hu Guang glanced at Yuan Kui again and smiled softly.

After the soldiers of the three armies cheered for a while, Yuan Kui said, "The army will return to Beijing and worship Your Majesty." ”

"No"

The three armies responded in unison.

Immediately and slowly marched towards Luoyang, the minister of the DPRK and the central government naturally walked in front in a carriage.

Dong Pet rode on the horse and said to Jia Xu on the side, "Mr. Wenhe, what do you think?" ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly, "Your Majesty is really a Ming Jun!" Since then, the army's heart has been attached, and there is no worry about shaking! ”

Compared with money and grain, land is what the people of the Han Dynasty need.

Immediately, Jia Xu and Dong Pet met and smiled.
