Sun Chengzong led a group of generals and sent a warm sedan chair to greet the two.

"Minister, Sun Chengzong pays a visit to Niangniang!"

"I've seen the Marquis of Zhongyi."

Zhang Yan said: "The superintendent doesn't need to be polite, the palace and the Marquis of Zhongyi came suddenly, causing trouble for the superintendent." ”

Sun Chengzong didn't even dare to say it.

Zhang Yan said: "Huang Xiao and the palace have been traveling tirelessly, so the superintendent and the soldiers and civilians have been waiting for a long time. ”

Sun Chengzong said loudly: "Don't say that! Regardless of their daughters, Niangniang and Hou Ye came from Beijing, defeated Jiannu in one fell swoop, and rescued tens of thousands of people!

I'll wait, what's the point of waiting? Since Niangniang and Hou Ye rested, outside the courtyard gate, tens of thousands of people have been waiting for Niangniang and Hou Ye outside! Please get on the warm sedan chair! ”

Zhang Yan and Huang Xiao were both taken aback.

Zhang Yan got on the warm sedan chair.

Huang Xiao walked out and walked forward, accompanied by Sun Chengzong himself.

On both sides of the street, in the heavy snow, tens of thousands of people spontaneously stood on both sides and saw Zhang Yan's warm sedan chair going out.

There was a terrible shout from the crowd!

"Long live the Holy Queen!"

"Long live the Marquis of Loyalty and Loyalty!"

"Thank you Niangniang and Hou Ye for their life!"

……

The shouts came and went.

This road was swept clean, which was obviously a spontaneous act of the people, and Huang Xiao and Zhang Yan were very moved by it.

Huang Xiao was stirred in his heart when he heard this, no matter how despicable and shameless he was, when he came to Daming, he finally saved so many people, it was worth it!

Zhang Yan said to Sun Chengzong: "Supervisor, the weather is cold, the Liao people have suffered again today, let them disperse, are there proper arrangements?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, the people are temporarily settled in the military camp and various places in the city, and after tomorrow, they will settle down in batches, Niangniang, rest assured, the minister will be properly arranged!"

Zhang Yan nodded.

Sun Chengzong asked the soldiers to convey Zhang Yan's cordial care in unison!

Only then did the people reluctantly watch Zhang Yan and the others leave.

Along the way, this situation has been repeated.

"What Huang Xiao said is really right, whoever is really good to the people will be able to get the support of the people." Zhang Yan thought silently in her heart.

Finally, the cheers of the people on both sides gradually faded away.

The sedan chair stopped after a while.

Huang Xiao stepped forward to help Zhang Yan lift the sedan curtain.

The situation in front of her surprised Zhang Yan again.

In front of the Yamen, two columns of soldiers, lined up, arrived at the Yamen, and there were hundreds of people!

The soldiers were covered in snow and had apparently been standing for a long time.

Sun Chengzong said: "This is the soldiers' spontaneous queue to welcome Niangniang and Hou Ye!" ”

After he finished explaining, he shouted loudly: "Niang Niang has arrived!" ”

"Meet the mother!"

Hundreds of soldiers fell to their knees!

Sun Chengzong and the others also knelt down.

Huang Xiao was also together.

"Get up! Thank you very much! Your intentions are already known in this palace, and you are all good men of my Ming Dynasty! Let's all go down, don't freeze! ”

Zhang Yan's gentle words moved the soldiers.

"Supervisor, you also get up, everything is simple, don't be so polite, this palace is not used to this."

"Niangniang, this is an exception, I and other tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians are grateful from the bottom of our hearts to Niangniang and Hou Ye, Niangniang, please enter."

Zhang Yan nodded and stepped in.

Sun Chengzong and the others walked up.

Zhang Yan sat on the main seat, and Huang Xiao stood beside him.

Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao, and other generals were on the left and right, and Wang Ergou and Cui Pinhua also stood in the ranks.

Zhang Yan asked, "What are the results today?" ”

Sun Chengzong said: "Back to Niangniang, today beheaded 4,513 Jiannu, of which Niangniang and Hou Ye rode on the divine beast, annihilated 1,323 Jiannu in one fell swoop, and rescued more than 47,000 Liaomin!" In one fell swoop, recover all the land from Dalinghe Fort to Panshan! ”

He paused and said loudly, "This is a great victory!" Thanks to the Niangniang and Hou Ye's supernatural powers! Minister, I have already sent the good news to the Beijing Division, such a thing of the past and the present!

The minister thought that he needed to let all the subjects in Beijing, and even all the subjects in the world know! Minister, make the decision without authorization, please punish the mother. ”

Zhang Yan said lightly: "That's it! ”

"This great victory, this palace and the Marquis of Zhongyi are just icing on the cake, and the soldiers fought with blood, and the contribution is indispensable!"

Zhang Yan said and looked at Cui Pinhua in the crowd.

"Reporter Cui!"

Cui Pinhua was stunned, got out of the ranks, knelt on the ground and shouted: "Cui Pinhua, a reporter from Daming Daily in Liaodong, meet my mother!" ”

Zhang Yan said: "Truthfully record the heroic deeds of my Liaodong Army, excavate the singing and crying deeds, and publish them in the Daming Daily to raise the prestige of our army!" ”

"Yes! Empress! My reports have been sent back to Beijing with the good news! ”

Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Good job!" ”

Cui Pinhua saluted and retreated.

Zhang Yan asked: "What are the casualties of our army?" ”

Sun Chengzong said: "More than 1,000 soldiers were killed in the battle, more than 300 were wounded, and more than 5,000 people were slaughtered. ”

Zhang Yan said: "They are all good men who died for the country!" Hongu is heartbroken! We can't let the blood of these heroes be shed in vain, what is the statute of our army's pension? ”

Sun Chengzong said: "Our army has a rule that the war dead will be paid a pension of five months. ”

Zhang Yan shook her head: "It's too low, Marquis Zhongyi, you give the palace a message and tell the superintendent." ”

"Yes! Empress. ”

Huang Xiao said: "The pension of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, since Taizu, has been low, and there is no change, Ben Hou thinks it is unreasonable, and it is to ask Niangniang to improve it."

Ben Hou believes that two ways should be adopted, one is to pay a one-time pension, based on one year's military salary, and the parents of their children can receive half of the military salary every month until the children reach adulthood or their parents die! ”

All the soldiers and generals were shocked in their hearts, and at the same time, they were so moved!

Niangniang cares about the merits of the generals, and wants to let the Daming Daily announce it to the world!

Niang Niang and Hou Ye care about the bereavement of the generals, and it has been raised to such a level!

How can this not make these soldiers have the heart to serve death!

Huang Xiaodao: "Niangniang very much agrees with Ben Hou's proposal!" However, my Da Mingwei is full of ills, even if the mother has the heart to give more compensation, in the end, this pension often does not fall into the hands of the family!

Therefore, Niangniang believes that for the time being, only a one-time pension system can be implemented, and the pension will be changed to 321 people, and the department needs to send quartermasters to be stationed to verify the situation and supervise the payment of pensions! What do you think? ”

Note: The pension of the Ming Dynasty is very low, generally three taels of silver, and you can check it yourself if you are interested.

Sun Chengzong said loudly: "Niangniang is extremely worried! If there is no restraint, this pension system will definitely become a method for unscrupulous generals to covet the money of the imperial court!

And once the wind is moved, the court will not be able to bear the burden, so that the kindness of the mother and the Hou Ye will come to naught! ”

"Niangniang is really the queen of the ages! Discerning! Well handled! Minister, Liaodong Governor Sun Chengzong, fully support Niangniang! Please send quartermasters to the ministries! ”

"Niang Niang Shengming!"

"Niangniang's grace is eternal, I am grateful!"

The generals knelt on the ground and shouted!

Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Everyone, please get up!" ”

Huang Xiaodao: "This is a piece of Chen, please watch it from the superintendent and the generals." ”

Sun Chengzong took it, didn't look at it, and said loudly: "Master Hou has made countless monstrous contributions for the country and the people!" Every suggestion and strategy is for the benefit of my people! All are immortal truths! We are at the mercy of the Hou Ye and Niangniang, and we dare not have the slightest place to put our beaks! ”

All the generals echoed loudly!

It's not that they're flattering, it's really Huang Xiao's behavior, which makes them feel at ease!
