Chapter 70: After the War
He Qiu did the work of a hundred households under Jiang Huo, but in fact he was the identity of an ordinary military household, Chongzhen not only allowed him to speak in the tent, but even explained his doubts in a serious manner, such an approachable attitude made everyone feel like a spring breeze.
"And then there is the third, no matter which side the returned soldiers go, they are consuming the grain and grass on the other side, so isn't it another kind of result? I am in short supply of food and grass, and the other side is not much better. β
Regarding the prisoners of war, Chongzhen thought very carefully. Focusing on the preferential treatment of prisoners in later generations, if this method of yang conspiracy is properly implemented, it can break the enemy's fighting spirit invisibly, which is in line with the idea that the soldiers' hearts are superior, and it is not easy to do so without killing and surrendering due to the surrounding environment, and it is too early to talk about preferential treatment.
The words persuaded everyone and set the tone for this matter, as for the follow-up arrangements, Chongzhen already has a draft, so skip it for the time being.
Victory is accompanied by celebration and reward.
Chongzhen Chrysostom said that those who were present would be directly promoted to 100 households below 100 households, serving as the sentry officer in the battalion, and more than 100 households and 1,000 households below being promoted to 1,000 households, and serving as the general officer, and so on.
Wang Jin, the chief soldier of Datong, was promoted to the governor of the dynasty, and he was the second grade.
Jiang Huo, deputy chief soldier of Yangyang Gao, was promoted to command Tongzhi and was in the third grade.
The night does not close the camp, and the ministers of thousands of households are promoted to command the affairs, and they are five products.
Tang Tong's merits were offset by the reward, and he retracted his previous acceptance, changed to the position of deputy chief soldier of Datong, and retained the official and cut the knight to see the after-effects.
"Thank you, Your Majesty for the reward." Wang Chengen took the lead in bowing, and the rest of the people all bowed to the emperor together.
"After I go back, there is no need to be stingy, I will promote more outstanding sergeants below, and the list will be handed over, and I will agree. In addition, there is no need to demolish the ready-made military village here, so you can arrange it separately and be stationed here to rest, and later I will send someone to bring wine and food to reward the whole army. β
"No!"
"Remember to go back to the city early tomorrow morning to discuss matters, let's all go down." Long live the Lord waved his hand, and the generals listened to the order to leave, and as the excitement of victory gradually subsided, Chongzhen leaned on his right chin with his hand, and just leaned back on the chair and dozed.
Out of the camp, Jiang Huo was extremely anxious, he hadn't seen Jiang Hao since he returned to the camp, he thought it was someone else, but His Majesty didn't say a word to his brother.
"Uncle Wang." Jiang Huo caught up with Wang Jinchao's footsteps and shouted uncle.
Of course, Wang Jinchao knew what he meant, and he didn't hide when he walked so fast, alas, really. Wang Jinchao turned his old face, looked at Jiang Huo and said, "What's wrong?" β
"Where's my brother?"
Wang Jinchao first stopped talking, looked at Jiang Huo speechless for a long time, and finally sighed, explaining the ins and outs of Jiang Hao's rebellion in detail, and secretly persuading Jiang Huo not to think nonsense. He was worried that Jiang Huo was young and vigorous, so he had a problem with His Majesty, but Jiang Huo's response was beyond his expectations.
"Repeated villains, the sin deserves." Jiang Huo listened to it and said eight words coldly.
"Well, your brother is still in prison, do you want to see him?" Wang Jinchao asked, if it was just to meet, he could help.
"In this way, Uncle Wang will be annoyed." Jiang Huo hugged his fists and saluted, which was considered to be the right thing to do.
"You go to the city with me, you have to find the prince first."
.......
The two rode back to the city, and the people were constantly carrying the corpses outside the city, and there was a thick smell of burning in the air. Asked all the way, and then found Wang Chengen in a courtyard, and he was cleaning with his subordinates.
Wang Chengen first asked Chongzhen about the situation, and when he learned that everything was fine, he relieved himself and subconsciously patted his chest. Without waiting for the two to ask, Wang Chengen glanced at Jiang Huo and said to Wang Jinchao: "Are you here to see someone?" β
"Exactly, there is the prince of Lao." Wang Jinchao was extraordinarily respectful.
"Don't work, Long live the Lord said before, if Xiao Jiang wants to see him, he can't stop it." While speaking, Wang Chengen saw that Wang Jinchao wanted to take something out of his arms, so he slapped his hand away and said, "Stop, don't do this now, come with me." β
Wang Jinchao stupidly took back the prepared filial piety silver, but he didn't expect that the prince was actually a man with clean sleeves.
Following Wang Chengen's footsteps through the hall and walking all the way to the backyard, he lifted his foot to push the wooden planks covering the ground open, and a cellar was revealed.
"As you know, this captive entered the city, and I was worried that the thieves would kill him, so I had to settle here."
"It should be, it should be."
Jiang Huo walked into the cellar slowly without saying a word, Wang Jinchao followed in while complimenting, but was pulled by Wang Chengen. The father-in-law's expression seemed to be smiling, as if to say, you don't have to, Wang Jinchao nodded knowingly: "Understood." β
Since Jiang Jiu was imprisoned, except for the first few days of suffering, he has not been subjected to too much abuse in the follow-up, two meals of coarse tea and light rice are served every day, and Lazar is in the corner of the wall, with some urine and feces stench.
The light inside was not good, Jiang Jian heard footsteps but couldn't see the comer clearly, and said weakly: "Kill me, kill me." β
"If you really want to die, I will send you on your way."
This voice is extremely familiar, Jiang Jiu's eyes suddenly showed a hint of brightness, stretched out his hand and touched it forward, and said hurriedly: "But my brother is here, but my brother is noisy!" β
The darkness covered all emotions, and as soon as my brother Ah Xuan came out, the comer fell into a long silence. Jiang Hao groped for a hard object in the dark, which seemed to be the armor page on the armor, and tried to hug it, it was the leg.
"Ah Huo, save my brother, my brother doesn't want to be locked up, who loved you the most when you were a child, have you forgotten?" Jiang Hao tried to pull away his left leg, but the "life-saving straw" that he finally caught, Jiang Hao said that he would not let go of anything.
"You're back, you must have made a meritorious service, right, go and beg Your Majesty, beg him." It's crying.
The people under him kept asking for help, and Jiang Huo finally spoke.
"Brother, since you are greedy for life and afraid of death, why do you always do great rebellious things?"
"Where did the great rebellion come from? Brother, don't you understand the truth that my life is up to me? Ask yourself, does the family surnamed Zhu care about the life and death of people in the world? β
"The matter of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, this is my father's teachings before his death."
"Oh, you are foolish! If your brother is living on that point, can he wait until today? Long dead. The chatterbox opened, Jiang Xuan's crying disappeared, and the words were full of reality and dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty has given you a chance, and I have given you a chance, I don't understand, why do you want to do this?"
Jiang Hao dragged the first page and said angrily: "Are you fucking stupid? Can't you see that the surname Zhu is seizing Lao Tzu's military power? Why is my ginger still slaughtered? β
"Okay, I'll get you out."
"Really? Quick, go, don't make my brother wait any longer. β
"Huh...""Huh....." The gentle friction sound was stretched into a long line, and Jiang Huo shed tears.
........
When Jiang Huo slowly walked out of the cellar, the blood stains on his shoes had already explained everything, Wang Chengen stepped back and made way for the way, Jiang Huo leaned over and bowed deeply to the two and left.
"This isβ" Wang Jinchao pointed to the cellar, and the two looked at each other.
