Chapter 75: Celebration Feast

Li Jing's eyes lit up, and he was secretly happy!

30,000 Guanning iron horses, this is one of the three elites of the political envoy department in Shandong Cheng in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. An elite unit on par with the Liaodong Iron Cavalry and the Dongjiang Denglai New Army!

Guanning Iron Cavalry has galloped across the territory for decades, from Liaodong to Yanjing, from Yanjing to Qinshu, from Qinshu to Yunnan, from Yunnan to Burma, and then from Yunnan to Yanjing.

In the past few decades, the Guanning Iron Cavalry has been invincible, invincible, and has killed the Mongolian prince, defeated the Eight Banners Army, assassinated Dorgon, pursued and killed Li Zicheng's troops, and pursued and suppressed Zhang Xianzhong's troops.

In the Manchu war, he cried Huang Taiji many times, and even during the rebellion of the three feudatories, the Manchu generals were scared, and Kang Mazi was almost retreated.

In the end, Wu Guogui, the last commander of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, was sniped by artillery in Wugang and disappeared from sight.

With these 30,000 Guanning iron cavalry, he will basically be invincible in the future when he fights in all directions.

Coupled with a fierce general like Mu Ying with outstanding military achievements, who else is his opponent, even if it is a big food, Li Jing is not afraid at all!

Mu Ying, the adopted son of Zhu Yuanzhang, guarded the land of Yunnan for the Ming Dynasty all his life.

A hundred years of Mufu, with the Ming Dynasty, with the end of the Ming Dynasty, lasted more than 200 years, for the Ming Dynasty to guard the frontier, generations of loyalty!

Mu Ying's military exploits are impressive, one of the six founding kings of the Ming Dynasty, in the fourteenth year of Hongwu, the thirty-eight-year-old Mu Ying was appointed as the deputy general of Zhengnan, and the general Fu Youde and the deputy general Lan Yu led an army of 300,000 to conquer Yunnan.

Mu Ying shined in this battle, completely eliminated the remnant Yuan forces entrenched in Yunnan, captured the Dali Kingdom, swept away the Dali Duan family's separatist forces, captured or surrendered various forces, and completely pacified the western part of Yunnan.

Mu Ying and Fu Youde pacified Wusa, Dongchuan, Jianchang and other places, set up guards, and suppressed the rebellion of the local official Yang Tho, stabilizing the situation in Yunnan.

When Muying was guarding Yunnan, he built water conservancy, persuaded agriculture and mulberry, carried out military tun, vigorously developed the economy of Yunnan, greatly promoted culture and education, cultivated talents, and spread Han culture.

Since Mu Ying guarded the land of Yunnan, his reputation has spread far and wide, consolidating the defense of the southwest border, and he has won the love of the people and has been highly praised by Zhu Yuanzhang, and was posthumously named the king of Qianning by Zhu Yuanzhang after his death.

"Qiyu Regent, there are 30,000 troops blocking the road in front, and the leader asks to see the regent!"

At this moment, the voice of the herald was heard outside the carriage.

"Bring the other party to see the king, pass the order, and rest the army in place!"

Li Jing commanded.

"Whoa!"

The herald received the order, turned the horse's head, and conveyed Li Jing's order, the marching army stopped, and the herald galloped past.

Soon, the herald came to Li Jing's carriage with a middle-aged general.

"Lord Regent, the man has been brought!"

The door of the carriage was opened, and Li Jing stepped out of it and looked at each other.

Mu Ying looks like Zhou Zheng, heroic and extraordinary, but in terms of appearance, Li Jing dumped him dozens of streets.

What's the use of Li Jing being handsome, if he doesn't have a good background, he is useless!

"Mu Ying see the regent! The ministers are in armor, it is inconvenient to make a big salute, and I ask the regent to forgive the sins!"

Mu Ying rode on the horse and hugged her fists.

Li Jing raised his hand and showed a smile: "Mu Ying doesn't need to be polite, you are a wise general, I can get your help, like a tiger with wings, in the future, you will fight for the Tang Dynasty in all directions and expand the territory!"

"Yes, Lord Regent!"

Mu Ying responded.

Li Jing directly handed over the 30,000 Guanning iron cavalry to Mu Ying's command, and after the army rested for half an hour, he continued to set off and return to Chang'an.

……

Time flies, due to Li Jing's slow marching speed and halfway tour, two months later, he returned to Chang'an!

Li Xian led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet Li Jing and others outside the Xuanzheng Palace!

"The regent has made meritorious contributions to pacifying Tibet, and I should be rewarded!"

Li Xian said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this expedition can successfully crusade against Tubo and recover Tuyuhun, not the work of one minister, it depends on the service of all the soldiers to defeat the Tubo that invaded the Tang Dynasty."

"This time, not only recovered Tuyuhun, but also ordered Tubo to surrender to the Tang Dynasty again, this is the merit book of the soldiers, and the book of surrender from the king of Tubo!"

Li Jing said, and handed the prepared merit book and the book of surrender to Li Xian.

Li Xian opened the merit book, his face became a little ugly, and the generals who wanted to be rewarded for their merits were either Li Jing's people or people who were ambiguous with Li Jing.

The generals who have nothing to do with Li Jing have nothing to do with them in the merit book, which is obviously Li Jing's desire to reward his subordinates.

Li Xian originally planned to take this opportunity to win over some generals who were not Li Jing's faction, but the result was ......

Alas!

Li Xian's heart is bitter! But there is no one to talk to, and a smile must be squeezed out of his face, after all, this time the Tang army won the battle, and it was the time for the whole country to celebrate, how could he, the emperor, cry and mourn.

"Regent, the generals have worked hard all the way, hurry up and enter the table, I have prepared a banquet to celebrate the success of the crusade against Tibet!"

Li Xian invited everyone to sit at the table, cordially took Li Jing's hand, walked in the front, and entered the Xuanzheng Palace.

Li Xian pulled Li Jing to the main seat and asked Li Jing to sit with him.

Li Jing was not polite to Li Xian, and sat down directly, and the ministers saw Li Jing sit down, so everyone took their seats.

As for Emperor Li Xian?

If it weren't for the regent's efforts to turn the tide, the Tang Dynasty would be gone, and he Li Xian would be a waste, why should everyone look at his face and eat.

When Li Xian saw this scene, his face turned pale, they didn't take him as an emperor in their eyes, especially Li Jing, he was just polite, Li Jing was good, he was really not polite at all, and sat down directly.

Li Xianqiang endured the anger in his heart, sat beside Li Jing, sulking.

These ministers, who have been blessed by our dynasty for many years, are in trouble today, they don't want to set things right and save me and the water and fire, but they take refuge in Li Jing, a thief, they are really a group of white-eyed wolves who can't be fed!

Li Jingcai doesn't care about Li Xian, he is already hungry, and now in front of so many delicacies, where is there any reason not to eat.

"You don't have to be restrained, drink with your heart's content, eat and drink well! Come, this king toasts you with a glass!"

Li Jing poured a glass of wine and raised his glass to everyone.

The ministers raised their glasses in return to Li Jing: "To the regent!"

It seems so redundant to completely leave Li Xian, the emperor, aside.

"Your Majesty, why don't you drink with all of you?"

Li Jing looked back at Li Xian and found that Li Xian did not move his chopsticks, so he asked curiously.

Could it be that this banquet is not to Li Xian's appetite?

That's not right! This is the banquet prepared by Li Xian, how could he not prepare the dishes he likes to eat?

"I'm full of anger from you, seeing you a chaotic thief, where am I still in the mood to eat and drink?"

Of course, Li Xian would not have said this, and he barely squeezed out a smile on his face, not knowing what to say.
