The monarchs and ministers exchanged pleasantries, and the sky became dark.

The palace maids of Qingning Palace came to invite the emperor and several generals to go to Qingning Palace for dinner.

Xia Jing knew that the Eastern Expedition team was coming back today, and specially asked people to prepare a dust washing banquet for them, without inviting courtiers, just the emperor, the prince and several generals, simple and warm, not much different from a family banquet.

"I've seen Niangniang, Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an!"

"I've seen Your Highness, I've seen all the princes!"

As soon as they entered Qingning Palace, the generals first greeted Xia Jing and several princes.

"No courtesy, sit down."

Li Jingfu and several generals sat down, and several princes who had come earlier stood up and greeted Li Jingfu.

After everyone sat down, Xia Jing's eyes fell on several generals, and said with emotion: "You finally came back safely, a few months faster than I expected, I thought that you would have to wait until after next spring before you would make a move to Goguryeo, but I didn't want your actions to be beyond my expectations." ”

Sha Yuliang sat upright, listened to Xia Jing's words, and replied: "This Eastern Expedition was also unexpected by us, and we didn't expect that the Jurchens' defense of Liaodong would be so lax. ”

Their surprise attack caught the Jurchens off guard, and when they reacted, the cavalry had already captured a large area of land, coupled with the small number of Jurchens, and Dayu's horseback was fierce, and the firearms were also advanced.

"Even if the Jurchens' defense is lax, you must be strong to shake their foundation, if your own strength is not good, even if you are given a chance, you will miss it!" Xia Jing chuckled.

"All this is due to the proper cultivation of the imperial court, and our army will have such strength." Sha Yuliang originally wanted to say that it was Xia Jing's credit, but after glancing at Li Jingfu, he changed his words.

"Your efforts cannot be denied." As he spoke, Li Jingfu turned his head to look at Xia Jing: "This time, Sha Aiqing and others captured Qin Lang and other traitors alive in Goguryeo, what do you think should be done with them?" ”

"Really?" When Xia Jing heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and looked at Sha Yuliang and the others: "Really captured the traitors alive?" ”

Sha Yuliang got up and clenched his fists: "Fortunately, the first few thieves have been captured alive, just waiting for the court to judge." ”

The personal position is different, Xia Jing doesn't want to judge Qin Lang and others, but the damage caused by the rebels formed by Qin Lang and others to the people of the world cannot be ignored.

And Xia Jing is on the side of the court, so she naturally thinks that Qin Lang is a chaotic minister and thief. It was they who took the people of the land through which they passed, and displaced countless people, separated their wives and died.

What's more, the rebels led by Qin Lang are also in cahoots with Beidi, cooperating with each other, the purpose is only to seek the Dayu Jiangshan Sheji, so that the foreign enemy does not care about the national righteousness, but also unworthy of virtue, not worthy of the world.

Xia Jing turned her head sideways to Li Jingfu, who was sitting next to her, and suggested: "Since the early winter of last year, I have ordered someone to build a hero monument and a loyal ancestral hall outside the Chengfu Gate. It's been a month or two since it was built, and I'm having a headache about how to open the shrine, and the thieves like Qin Lang who were captured alive can just come in handy. ”

"Oh, what is the Queen going to do?" Li Jingfu was interested.

Xia Jing's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with a sneer: "Of course, they used their blood to open the shrine and pay tribute to the soldiers who sacrificed for Dayu!" ”

——

The next day was a reward for the triumphant army, and the early court ministers gathered, all in praise of the triumphant division and criticism of the rebel bandits.

"Your Majesty, it is not an exaggeration to cut these traitors with a thousand knives, and the minister suggests that the three divisions will try to list their crimes one by one, and then carry out the punishment of live chopping!"

"Yes, God opened his eyes, let General Sha and them come back alive, and if you don't torture them, you can't help the harm they have caused to the people of the world!"

"The execution must be carried out at the gate of the vegetable market, so that the people of the whole capital can come and watch, so that everyone can see what the betrayal of the imperial court will be, so as to alert the world!"

Of course, the military generals who made meritorious contributions this time should also be rewarded, but the civil and military officials were in a natural state of antagonism, and the civil officials never mentioned how to reward these soldiers who were born and died.

The courtiers of the Qinzheng Palace expressed their opinions on how to deal with Qin Lang and others, and the discussion was extremely enthusiastic.

The officers and soldiers of the Gyeonggi camp escorted Qin Lang and others from the Gyeonggi camp into the capital, and the people of the capital hurried to hear the news.

All of a sudden, the capital was empty, and the main street into the city was crowded by the people.

There are many people who moved south from the capital to Jiankang with the imperial court, and now they have moved back.

When they were in Jiankang, Jiankang was captured by the rebels, and many people in the city were killed, and many girls and daughters-in-law were humiliated.

Now that Qin Lang has been captured alive by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, the people who have a deep blood feud with the rebels see Qin Lang, that is, the enemy is very red when they see him, and they can't wait to chop him up and feed him to the dogs.

If there are officers and soldiers in the way, they can't get close to the enemy, so they will take revenge in the air.

What rotten leaves, rotten eggs, cow dung, etc., throw them at them.

There were really no such people, so they carried baskets and picked up a lot of stones and lumps, and waited for Qin Lang and others to pass in front of them in a prisoner car, leaving them alone, and greeted them one after another.

Such insulting treatment may have been something Qin Lang never thought of, he regrets it now, why didn't he run away from Dayu in the first place, and fled to Goguryeo, which had no force, it was really lard and his head was rusty.

At this moment, Qin Lang and several people who were escorted to the prison of the Criminal Department were covered with rotten vegetable leaves and rotten egg liquid on their heads and faces, and they were covered with some cow dung, and the image was really embarrassing.

Qin Lang's staff regretted dying at this time, at the moment of Qin Lang's defeat, he should have parted ways with him a long time ago, why did he follow him without hitting the south wall and not looking back?

Now that it's okay, this scene will inevitably be recorded by the historian, and it will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever and can't be picked off.

What's more, it may be written into textbooks, so that future generations of readers can take it as a warning and become a negative teaching material.

At the court meeting of the early dynasty, Dayu's territory expanded, and Li Jingfu became Dayu's most accomplished emperor in addition to the ancestor emperor.

Li Jingfu's good mood was felt by the courtiers, and the rewards for the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition were also more generous.

The generals are more direct, Hu Daxi has experience in garrisoning the border, and directly named him the governor of the Andong Governor's Protectorate, who has jurisdiction over the military in the Liaodong region, and is the most powerful person in the Liaodong region except for Feng Yanrong.

Zhu Wei enlisted in the army as a bandit, and he was promoted all the way, which can be described as smooth sailing, and this time he was promoted to one level according to his merits and became a general of Sanpin Yaowei.

Yuan Mingxian, a staff general from Sanpin, was promoted to the general of Sanpin, and the general leader of the Beidi grassland

Now it should be said that it is the general garrison of the grassland Uliang Ha pastoral area.

Sima Yi, Zhenghe, and Ying Weizhong were all promoted to one level.

This time, the coach Sha Yuliang was directly named Liaodong Bo, which is regarded as a commemoration of his exploits this time.

He is the second general after Long Yutian to be named an earl for his military merits, that is to say, the greater the merit, the reward of the court is not stingy, as long as you have the ability to make meritorious contributions, it is not a problem to be awarded the title of marquis.

Of course, the other soldiers of the Gyeonggi battalion were rewarded, but according to the size of the merit, the official rank varied.

Regardless of whether the ordinary soldiers have merit or not, as long as they are part of the Eastern Crusade this time, they will be rewarded, and the share of the reward is not low, which is rich enough.

"The soldiers are fighting abroad, opening up territory for Dayu, this time solving the scourge of Liaodong and the grassland, it is needless to say that the hardships are naturally aside, life and death are put aside on the battlefield. Therefore, this time the soldiers were able to return safely, and I sincerely thank God. ”

"Over the years, the soldiers have been fighting abroad for Dayu for many years, and on the day of returning to the Gyeonggi camp to recuperate, everyone can take turns to take a vacation and go home to see if their parents are healthy and whether their wives and children are well."

When several generals who accepted the reward heard this, they were overjoyed, "The ministers have thanked the emperor for the generous reward." ”

Ah!

After fighting abroad for many years, they haven't been home for a long time, and this time they have returned home.

It would be better if I could marry a daughter-in-law by the way.

If the meritorious person is rewarded, then the guilty person will be punished.

The three legal divisions will be tried, and with Li Jingfu's supervision, the efficiency of handling the case is very high.

The verdict came down in one day's interrogation.

On the third day, Li Jingfu led the civil and military officials out of the Chengfu Gate with a solemn expression, stood in front of the heroic monument, and together with the civil and military officials, gave three pillars of incense to the unsung heroes in the sky and offered offerings. In the end, Qin Lang and others were escorted up, and their blood was sacrificed to the soldiers who died in the battle for Dayu.

The emperor and the hundred officials together sent the list of martyrs recorded in the martyr's shrine to worship, and enjoyed the incense of the people of Dayu for generations.

On the fourth day, the Heroes Monument and the Martyrs' Shrine are open to the people, and the sincere people can bring offerings to the martyrs to put incense on the pillars and offer some items, as long as they do not harm the ancestral hall, the imperial court is not opposed.

——

The return of the Eastern Expeditionary Army to the Gyeonggi camp obviously drove the economy of the capital, and the market around the Gyeonggi camp obviously had many more soldiers.

Some soldiers want to buy some gifts to take home, while others have no family, have nothing to buy alone, and wander around with money in their pockets.

Seeing that it was the officers and soldiers of the Gyeonggi battalion, many vendors looked kind, and even took the initiative to give them preferential treatment.

"You go into battle for Dayu to kill the enemy, you are blessed to come back, how can I give you a little discount, otherwise I'm sorry for my conscience."

"You have shed your blood on the battlefield to protect the peace of the party. We support you, buy apples for a pound and get a pound for a pound. ”

"Official, do you want cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles, buy a pair and get a pair free!"

"Hey, these people are so cute, scrambling to buy one get one free." When the officers and soldiers heard the cries of the vendors, not to mention how heart-warming they were.

"Twenty-five wen is a pair of these cloth shoes, right, twenty-five wen is for you, bring me two pairs!"

"You think beautifully, you are not a soldier of the Gyeonggi battalion, and you are not my relative, why should I buy you a pair and give you a pair?"

"Hey, what you just yelled at yourself, buy one get one free, you want to cheat?"

"Phew! When will your platoon be bigger than the officers and soldiers, come to me to buy it again, I will buy one and get one free! ”

The markets around Gyeonggi Daying have been going on for nearly half a year, and they have been so lively all the time.

It is not possible for the soldiers to go home together, but they have to take turns on vacation, so that the surrounding market can continue to be so lively.

Of course, that's an afterthought.

Approaching the autumn harvest, Xia Jing took Li Chengmu, Li Chengli and the current Jingzhao Yin Weidong out of the capital together.

On the way to the Grange on the outskirts of Beijing, I happened to meet Sha Yuliang, who was returning from the Gyeonggi camp and preparing to enter the city.

"The last general has seen the mother." Sha Yuliang saw the ceremony and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Look at the guards behind them, there are enough people, there should be no danger when you go out of the city.

Xia Jing lifted the curtain of the car, and saw that Sha Yuliang only brought a few personal soldiers, so she smiled and said: "It's about to be the autumn harvest season, and I'm about to go to the Grange to have a look, General Sha is going to see the emperor?" ”

"That's not it, the last general was about to return to the city, but he didn't expect to meet Niangniang here. The last general happens to have nowhere to go, why don't you follow Niangniang to go around the grange? Sha Yuliang was curious about what happened to Xia Jing going to the Grange.

Not to mention going to see how the harvest is going on the Grange, even if you see the harvest, you don't have to go to the queen herself.

"If you want to go, follow along!"

Xia Jing lowered the curtain and motioned for Ye Fei to move on.

Liangshan, the manager of the Queen's Grange in the suburbs of Beijing, was admitted to the College of Engineering after the year because his two sons were admitted to the College of Engineering, and now he has hope for life, and he is proud in front of relatives and friends.

And all this was brought to him by his mother, so he was more attentive to the management of the grange.

This year's wind and rain are smooth, the Grange has seen a bumper harvest, recently walking with the wind, sleeping can wake up with a smile, to describe the mood of Liangshan is very appropriate.

Knowing that Niangniang was coming today, he had already prepared everything.

As soon as Xia Jing's carriage stopped at the gate of the Grange Courtyard, Liangshan greeted her.

"The slave has asked for peace to Niangniang and His Royal Highness."

Li Chengmu jumped off the horse with a smile, threw the reins to Changlu, and said with a smile: "Liangshan, have you prepared everything that the queen mother asked you to prepare?" ”

Liangshan smiled honestly at Li Chengmu: "If you go back to Your Highness, you are ready, just wait for Niangniang and Your Highness to come over." ”

Xia Jing came out of the carriage and helped Ye Fei's men get out of the carriage, "Since you're ready, let's go over and have a look." ”

The second monk Sha Yuliang who followed him halfway was confused, and he didn't know what they were doing here.

However, he is very knowledgeable, so if he doesn't know, he won't ask, just follow them and watch and listen more.

Liangshan led the group to the edge of the field, where a large iron lump was placed in a clearing, which looked a bit like the steam locomotive of the railway station.

Sha Yuliang was wondering why the steam locomotive was placed here, and he heard Liangshan say: "Niangniang, Your Highness, listen to the people of the War Bureau, this is called a harvester?" Can you harvest your own wheat? ”

Xia Jing listened, smiled silently, and motioned for Ye Fei to go up and give them a demonstration.

This harvester, in fact, is the most rudimentary version, the power is also small, wheat harvesting, there must be a person next to the body to drag the body to catch the threshed wheat, not as convenient as the combine harvester of later generations.

But in the era of Dayu, this machine is a great progress in agricultural machinery, and so the steam cultivator is manufactured, or these machines can be mass-produced, will speed up the liberation of labor, the development of industry or foreign conquest overseas are greatly beneficial.

If you want to develop into an industrial power, the liberation of labor force is the first step.

It's too difficult, after a few days, I finally received a monthly pass for Xiaoice ice love, thank you for your support~
