Chapter 144: Triumphant Return

After a lot of hardships, Runzhi and others finally led their troops to defeat the poisonous army of Tamati.

Both sides suffered heavy losses.

In this war, Runzhi reduced the land area of the poisonous body to four-tenths, and at the same time, the poisonous population was sharply reduced to six-tenths of the original one.

In this war, the borders of Kyushu were greatly expanded, and at the same time, there were five or six new countries between the two countries, and it seemed that it was difficult for the two countries to have a relatively large war.

Under pressure, the lord of the poisonous country finally decided to surrender with Kyushu.

In order to give this poisonous country some face, Runzhi signed an agreement in the name of peace talks, and no trouble was allowed on the border for a hundred years.

Runzhi left tens of thousands of soldiers to continue the oasis tuntian cultivated on the Gobi Desert, and most of the rest were sent back to their hometowns, leaving only 30,000 or 40,000 people to follow him back to the capital.

Emperor Yongzheng received the recital of Runzhi's triumphant return, and naturally Longyan was happy, and directly sealed Runzhi as a "body poison candidate", and rewarded Runzhi with all the homelands of the previous dynasty that Runzhi had recaptured as a fiefdom.

In order to show his appreciation, Emperor Yongzheng specially built a waiting house for him in the capital.

This mansion is very magnificent, and there are as many as a thousand servants and servants of all kinds.

Although the dozens of beauties rewarded by Emperor Yongzheng are naturally not as beautiful as Runzhi when he was in Yangzhou Palace, they are also the kind of beauty that is rare among the people.

When Runzhi was still a few hundred kilometers away from the capital, he temporarily stationed most of his troops of 30,000 or 40,000 people, and Runzhi returned to the capital with hundreds of people above the commander of a thousand commanders.

Emperor Yongzheng personally led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet him at the gate of the palace, and the soldiers who had already stood along the way to greet him, and the surrounding people had already heard that General Runzhi had returned, and they all knelt on the ground to greet him.

Runzhi did not cherish the "body poison mansion" given by the emperor, but temporarily accepted some of the shrewd and capable housekeepers and loyal and talented people with five or six of the most beautiful and virtuous people, a total of more than 100 people, and then proposed to Emperor Yongzheng to return to the fief on the grounds that the fief was still chaotic and the law and order were chaotic.

Emperor Yongzheng was naturally very happy to see Runzhi leave the capital quickly.

Because Runzhi's credit is really a bit big, for a while, inside and outside the capital, the "General An" is simply known to women and children, and the popularity is no less than that of Emperor Yongzheng himself.

Runzhi stayed in the capital for less than a month.

During this period, he did not make friends with civil and military officials everywhere, if so, his head would have fallen to the ground long ago, after all, he was the identity of a frontier general at this time, and a frontier general made friends with civil and military officials everywhere, and he would definitely be put on death row for "conspiracy and chaos".

During this period, Runzhi lived in the so-called "Body Poison Waiting Mansion" very rarely, and most of the time he lived directly in Prime Minister Wen Jing's house Zheng

It seems that Runzhi and this Wenjing are in love, often one discussion, one white passes, and the second comes to continue the discussion.

Wen Jing simply called all the family members out to participate in the discussion, but did not allow these minor family members to speak, but just let them listen quietly, so that these family members who have been locked up at home for a long time can also have a long insight.

Naturally, in addition to Qing'er, Wenjing's family members rarely speak.

"You are going to go to the Gobi Desert in the Western Regions to cultivate fertile land, this is very rare, how do you accomplish this big thing, do you think such a thing is worth it?"

Tian Wenjing looked at Runzhi and asked with a slight smile in the corner of his eyes.

Runzhi naturally knew that this Tian Wenjing was worried that Runzhi was thankless and would waste the funds of the imperial court, and it might not be of much value to the people, so Runzhi knew:

"This matter has actually started long before the day I fought against the poison, so far, countless military rations have been harvested here, enough to feed tens of thousands of soldiers in the tuntian there for decades, so it is not difficult to complete this, my plan is to further expand this project, so that more surrounding farmers can join us and expand the scale."

Runzhi continues to:

"As for whether it is worth it or not, this is naturally worth it, since ancient times, the people have taken food as the food, as long as the food is sufficient, no matter how the foreign enemy provokes, how conspiratorial, it will not help, the most afraid is that the foreign enemy takes advantage of our lack of food, secretly unites with the neighboring countries, not only does not sell food to us, but even sends troops to attack, then the situation is very dangerous. So food production is clearly worth it! This is the foundation of the country and the foundation of the people."

Tian Wenjing jokingly abused:

"If you want food, wouldn't it be more profitable to directly take back the intertwined counties in the north of Annan, you can know that you can harvest one kind a year in the Western Regions, if you can harvest three times a year in Annan, wouldn't the same land in Annan be much more cost-effective, why do you have to dig a river in the Western Regions, instead of thinking about returning to Annan because you are still the lord of Annan?"

When Runzhi heard this, he laughed and said:

"It is true that Annan has three harvests a year, and the plains are vast and the land is fertile, but the population of Annan's subject country is large, and if we do not have enough migrated population in the Central Plains, it is often difficult to control these people. So far, we have no intention of immediately recovering the subject state of Annam. And this frontier of the Western Regions is under the control of our army at this moment, and it is also very suitable for growing wheat and corn, both of which are highly productive, and have already harvested a lot, and these places are very close to my fiefdom, so it is possible to further move personnel to my vast fiefdom when the time comes."

Qing'er said in a slightly playful tone:

"I heard that our body poison is not only the lord of the Annan country, but also is now named the "General of Zhengnan" and "Body Poison", and has the body poison once occupied the old land within a radius of 300 kilometers in our previous dynasty. Such a feat, throughout history, how many people can have it, presumably you should also enjoy the leisurely life of a group of wives and concubines, right? ”

Runzhi listened, and didn't answer immediately, just stared at Qing'er's eyes quietly for two minutes.

Because the two were relatively close to each other, Runzhi gently bent Qing'er's hair that was blown to his chest by the wind, and then kissed Qing'er gently and directly in front of the public and in front of the prime minister Wen Jing.

Everyone was taken aback by this scene for a while, but after all, Runzhi was a celebrity around the emperor, at this moment, there were tens of thousands of soldiers in command in his hands, and there were no less than five or six generals attending with him, and there were dozens of them standing at the door.

These subordinates are still fully armed, obviously in the long-term combat career of the border pass, these border pass generals have long been accustomed to the life of always waiting for the soldiers, so they all coincidentally wear battle robes and have weapons in hand.

In the eyes of many generals, obeying orders is duty, so it is not surprising that many generals in ancient times often took advantage of this yellow robe.

At this moment, these subordinates naturally saw this scene, but they were very happy for the general.

Tian Wenjing's family members were suddenly refreshed by Runzhi's behavior.

The general is really a general, and his bearing is really extraordinary, that is, he dares to do things that ordinary people dare not do.

Indeed, for a successful man, a kiss is nothing, and a woman is nothing, if an ordinary official dares to do this, he will be arrested by Wen Jing on the spot, and then put on death row.

For such a successful man, all the rules of society, even the law, will open up for them, they are no longer ordinary members of society, they have become the makers of all rules and even laws from the observators of all rules.
