Chapter 1144: The Mighty Spoils of War
Boxes of gems were carried by soldiers onto carriages.
The soldiers who had just gotten off the train stood one by one, lined up until they reached the gate of the palace, and forced a smooth road for the carriage.
At the same time, it is also for the sake of insurance, for fear that someone will have bad intentions and dare to rob the royal things!
The gold, silver, and precious stones were heavy, and the carriage was already very difficult with only a few boxes, and the coachman drove towards the palace.
The first carriage has arrived at the treasury, and the train has not yet been unloaded, and the soldiers are still carrying down in two boxes, so you can imagine how much loot there is this time!
The soldiers kept carrying the boxes down, and Zhang Han was also busy back and forth.
One will remind the feet, one will be the one to load the car, and the other will let the soldiers be careful when going down the stairs.
Running back and forth inside and out, for fear that something would go wrong.
If you don't know, you think that the soldiers are carrying his things!
Wang Li and the others shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
He, the head of the household, is really conscientious!
When the people on the street saw this posture, they stood behind the soldiers and watched the excitement.
"Yo? What is this for? Why is there such a big battle? ”
"I don't know? Why are so many wagons going back and forth? ”
"What's the rare thing in the box in the carriage? Do you need so many soldiers to protect ......? ”
The people couldn't help but be curious when they saw the endless carriages.
"This battle is even more spectacular than when Nanyang was first developed, and the scene of transporting spices to the household department is even more spectacular, right?"
"That's for sure, haven't you heard? The army led by General Han has entered the city in batches, if you guess correctly, these boxes contain either the belongings of the soldiers or the trophies of this time! ”
"Triumphant? How did I not know? If it was the triumph of the army, shouldn't those steamships stop at Weishui? It will definitely cause a great sensation, and there is no way that there is no news in the city? ”
"Hey! The Weishui is frozen, what else is the Weishui? I heard that the soldiers took the train and returned to Xianyang in batches! ”
"Yes, I've heard about it too......!"
There are a few well-informed people who have guessed what the box is in through the information they have received.
"What can make the soldiers protect so much is definitely not a personal belonging!"
"That's right, you see, there are only three or four boxes on each carriage, and the contents are certainly not light, and they are probably trophies!"
"Yes, yes, definitely!"
"Doesn't it mean that there is almost no civilization on those islands, and they are all native? Where did the loot come from? ”
"The trophies don't have to be celebrity calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver ingots! Have you forgotten the original Nanyang? There are so many gems the size of eggs that soldiers can exchange any old clothes for them! ”
"That's right, although there are no celebrity calligraphy and paintings overseas, there are still a lot of gems exposed on the surface, and it is possible for 100,000 soldiers to obtain these trophies in more than two years!"
"Good fellows! If the box is full of gems, how much does it cost......? ”
After some analysis, the people were basically able to determine what was in the box, and they couldn't help but gasp.
With so much gold and silver jewelry, how much is it worth?
Immeasurable!
I can't estimate it at all!
One thing is certain, the imperial court will be rich in the future, and even if there is a disaster in the region, the imperial court will have money to provide disaster relief!
The carriage roamed all afternoon, and it was not finished until nightfall.
When the last carriage entered the palace and the palace gate was closed, the soldiers completed their mission and returned to the barracks to report!
In the evening of the same day, a banquet was held in the palace to entertain the generals and soldiers who went on this expedition.
Han Xin took this opportunity to present the military merits of this expedition, which was reviewed by Ying Feiyu and Ying Zheng.
"Good, good! Ha ha! ”
Ying Zheng smiled heartily after seeing it.
Ying Feiyu also nodded with satisfaction.
This time, the soldiers have made a lot of contributions, and the reward should be carefully considered, so tonight I will only drink and talk about it, and the matter of the reward will be decided after discussing with the courtiers after a while!
"Great, in the future, the sun-drenched land will be Daqin, and no foreign race will dare to invade my Daqin!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand, squinted his eyes and laughed.
Seven years ago, he really couldn't have imagined it.
If the Huns can be eliminated, it is already a big deal!
"Yes, the people will be able to live a good life in the future!"
Ying Feiyu was also very happy in her heart.
Not to mention whether there will be infighting, at least the tragedy of those massacres in the future will not happen again!
His crossing is not in vain!
Before he arrived at the palace, his wish was to rely on the system and live safely with his mother, just be rich.
By accident, he came to the palace and came to this point step by step.
Come to think of it, it's pretty magical!
"I salute you!"
Ying Feiyu is not interested in wine, and there are few times when he toasts, and today's move is really rare.
"Thank you, Your Majesty......!"
Han Xin and all the soldiers got up one after another, bowed their hands, and drank them all.
Then the courtiers began to praise and inquire about Han Xin and others, and the atmosphere opened up all of a sudden.
Fan Hao and Peng Yue even held wine glasses and boasted to everyone with emotion.
The soldiers brought out by Wang Ben surrounded Wang Li and asked him to tell him about the situation overseas!
The whole feast lasted until the second half of the night.
Not surprisingly, Wang Ben, Zhang Han and others were carried back to the house.
The next morning, the morning court directly took leave, and the big guys didn't sober up, so they couldn't go to the morning court with a body of alcohol, right?
Ying Feiyu and those younger generations have nothing to do, and they still go to court on time.
The ministers couldn't drink enough, so they started to cook after a few drinks, and they didn't delay the early dynasty.
"Your Majesty ......!"
When Ying Feiyu appeared in the Qilin Hall in a black and red dragon robe, hundreds of officials bowed their hands one after another.
It was no longer Jingfu who accompanied him, but Mingde.
Yingzheng Zen position, Jingfu, as a personal attendant, must also retire with him.
On the contrary, it has fulfilled Matilda.
Before he followed Ying Feiyu, he was an ordinary little chamberlain in the palace, and any older one could step on a few feet.
No one expected that once he was assigned to the Guanghua Palace, he would soar, and in a few years, he went directly to the emperor's personal attendant.
No matter the maids in the palace, they have to nod their heads when they see him, and no one dares to make a mistake!
"Let's all be exempt!"
Ying Feiyu waved his hand at the ministers and officially started the early dynasty.
"Your Majesty, over the years, I have fought in the south and the north of the Great Qin, and finally unified the whole world, congratulations!"
"Yes! During this period, in addition to His Majesty's leadership and the invention of thermal weapons, General Han and others also made great contributions! ”
"Yes, yes, yes! The minister suggested that General Han and others be rewarded for their meritorious deeds......! ”
Knowing that Han Xin, Wang Li and others are all Ying Feiyu's henchmen, and they will definitely be ministers of the imperial court in the future, settling them is equivalent to settling with His Majesty.
Therefore, at the beginning of the early dynasty, some courtiers came out and asked for a performance.
"There's no rush for this!"
The reward must be sealed, but this matter has to be considered slowly, and Ying Feiyu has not yet thought about what position to give Han Xin and others.
"Your Majesty, now that the overseas has also been purged, is there no need for my Great Qin to keep so many troops, so that the soldiers can return to their hometowns and develop agriculture and production?"
The ministers who invited credit for Han Xin and others had just entered the ranks, and the old imperial Shi Ning Xingwang was out of the ranks.
You must know that the ordinary army of Great Qin alone is more than a million people.
If you add in the newly trained navy in the past few years, there are almost 1.5 million people.
And the garrisons in various places, almost two million people!
With the development of Daqin, the treatment of soldiers has also made a qualitative leap.
Even if you don't have military merits, you will get a certain amount of money every month.
The imperial court paid salaries to these two million troops every month, which was a large amount.
In addition, families who have joined the army are exempt from agricultural taxes, and the imperial court has lost some of its income!
Now that the world is peaceful, there is simply no need for so many troops.
For the sake of the expenses of the imperial court, so he proposed to cut off a part!
"Disarmament?"
After his words, he immediately attracted the sideways glances of the military generals.
