On the second day of September, someone came to the capital. The messenger brought the emperor's decree and ordered Shen Hongjun to return to the capital with his troops on the same day.

Of course, it was impossible for all of these 100,000 soldiers to go to the capital, so the emperor left 20,000 people in the local area according to Shen Hongjun's intentions and assigned them to various villages and towns along the river. These people have since settled in the local area. On weekdays, the fields are cultivated, and the imperial court gives them cattle and seeds. The income from the grain, etc., is used for daily life, and you can also receive a salary from the imperial court.

At the same time, after these people settle down, if there is a small family in the family, they can take the family over and reunite the family. If you don't have a family, you can marry and start a family locally. In this way, the population can be increased in various places along the river, and if there is anything else on the other side in the future, it will also be convenient for defense.

There were 20,000 reinforcements borrowed from Shenzhou and Longzhou, and these people returned to their original territories to be dispatched.

The five cities along the river, each with 3,000 men and horses, were left as guards. The rest of the people were brought back to the capital by Shen Hongjun and placed separately. Naturally, Shen Hongjun's personal soldiers all want to follow him.

"Generalissimo Shen, Your Majesty is very happy to learn the news of this great victory in pacifying Dongyi. This time, he sent a subordinate to announce the decree, and he also brought a lot of things to reward the army. Beijing has already prepared a celebration banquet, just waiting for the marshal to return to Beijing, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, will celebrate the generals. After reading the decree, the messenger smiled and said.

"Your Majesty, thank you." Shen Hongjun led all the soldiers and shouted in unison, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

After that, Shen Hongjun took the lead, took the holy decree from Qin Cha's hand, and then accompanied Qin Cha to the military camp to rest.

"My emperor is blessed with Qitian, this time he went to Dongyi and returned with a great victory. On the southeast coast, the pacification of pirates is also a good news. At this moment, everyone in the DPRK and China was jubilant, and they were all looking forward to the generalissimo leading his troops back to Beijing. Generalissimo Shen, let's hurry up and set the date and return to Beijing as soon as possible. Everyone sat down in the tent, and Lord Qincha Hu, who came to deliver the decree, said to Shen Hongjun very affectionately.

"This is simple, in recent days, Ben Shuai has already settled everywhere, and tomorrow the army will be able to return to the court." Shen Hongjun hurriedly replied. He had already arranged it in advance, and the emperor's will was basically the same as what he had planned, so there was no need to be particularly busy, and he could leave for Beijing tomorrow.

"Well, in that case, Ben Qincha will go back to Beijing with the general to resume his life." He is also going back to Beijing, since he can leave tomorrow, it is just right, and he can have a good rest tonight. Along the way, they also hurried to come, but they were not lightly tired.

Lord Tong, the governor on the side, heard that the Qin Cha was going to stay for one night, so he hurriedly said, "Since the Lord Qin Cha stayed today, it is better to live in the state office, which is better than this military camp." Moreover, all the officials in the state city admired the demeanor of the adults, and held a banquet in the state government tonight. For Lord Qincha to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and at the same time to see off the generalissimo, I don't know what the adults want? ”

When Master Hu heard this, this Zhizhou was sensible, "Okay, this official will live in the state office tonight." ”

So, that night, a feast was held in the state government, and all the officials of the entire state government came. Shen Hongjun accompanied Master Hu to the state government and was sought after by everyone.

Lord Hu is in the capital, and he is just a five-grade Langzhong in the Ministry of Officials. In the capital, there are so many dignitaries and nobles, where can he be outstanding? But when I came here, it was different, and I saw these people with smiling faces one by one, close to themselves. Master Hu couldn't help but feel a little fluttery.

At the beginning of the banquet, everyone sat down to eat and drink. Lord Zhizhou also specially arranged two beautiful maids to accompany Lord Hu to pour wine and dishes, and they were very attentive.

While drinking and eating, Lord Hu looked at the two beautiful girls beside him, and couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.

Seeing this scene, Lord Tong couldn't help but smile. "Lord Qincha, these two handmaidens were chosen by thousands of people in the house. I don't dare to say that I am proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I know a thing or two, and they are two beautiful women with good talents. "This is what an official should look like, it is really rare to be as cold and impersonal as Shen Hongjun.

Shen Hongjun's side is still empty, Lord Tong knows his temper best, where do you dare to arrange for him to be accompanied by beautiful maids? Moreover, Lord Tong doesn't think that the beautiful maids in the family can compare to Yunxue.

Everyone pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and drank happily, and the officials of the state government kept toasting to Lord Hu and Shen Hongjun. Shen Hongjun was patient, and after drinking a few drinks with these people, he got up and said goodbye. "Lord Tong, Lord Hu, the army will set off tomorrow, and there are still a lot of things, so Ben Shuai will not stay here for a long time. Lord Hu, please feel free. ”

Shen Hongjun didn't like this kind of scene in the first place, plus he was also worried about Yun Xue, so he didn't know how the preparations were made in the other courtyard? I just had time to send someone to tell me, only to say that I was going to leave tomorrow.

Master Hu was drinking happily at this time, and the two beautiful maids around him poured him wine and persuaded him to drink, and when he saw that Shen Hongjun was leaving, he didn't stop him. "Okay, Generalissimo, please. I don't know when I will leave tomorrow, and I will return to Beijing together. ”

"Lord Hu is good at will, the army travels, and all kinds of things are complicated, so it is estimated that it will not be too early. As long as Master Hu has fun tonight, there is no need to worry about tomorrow. Shen Hongjun said with a smile.

Master Hu is right to think about it, he is only a few people, he is light and simple, and he acts quickly. Unlike those sergeants, it will take a lot of time to return to the capital all the way. "Okay, okay, then generalissimo, please feel free." As he spoke, Master Hu hugged the maidservant beside him and went to drink.

Shen Hongjun didn't say much, nodded to everyone in the hall, and left with someone. After leaving the state office, several people went directly back to the other courtyard.

In the courtyard, Yun Xue already knew that she was going to leave tomorrow, and at this time she was taking Rulan and the others to pack her things. Because they don't know where they want to live after entering Beijing, they have to prepare all the necessary items. "Rulan, let's bring more change of clothes, luggage or something, and the rest of the valuable furnishings and the like, we don't need it. When I got there, I didn't know where I was staying. ”

Yun Xue saw that Rulan even had to take away some large furnishings in the courtyard, so she hurriedly reminded her. "These things, when we settle down in the capital, we can let people come back and transport them away. At the moment, it is really a cumbersome panic. ”

Rulan is right to think about it, wait until the girl and the general become relatives and settle down, and then let people pack up their things. "Alright, let's bring some light stuff with us. I don't know how long it will take to get back to the capital along the way, but I have to prepare more luggage and other things. ”

Aunt Fang was over there, and she was also pointing the girls in the house to pack up her things, she was more familiar with the capital, so she naturally understood those who needed to be brought, and those who didn't need it for the time being.

There were eight girls in the house who were originally waiting closely, Rumei stayed in the village, and the rest of them were going to go to Beijing together. These girls were very excited, and while packing up their things with their hands and feet, they kept asking Aunt Fang about the situation in the capital.

Aunt Fang is a person with an excellent temper, and she doesn't feel panicked by these girls' chattering questions, and answers their questions patiently.

When Shen Hongjun returned to the other courtyard, Yun Xue and the others had already packed up. Shen Hongjun looked at the big box in the Luoxia Pavilion and couldn't help laughing. "I didn't expect that in the past few years, so many things have been purchased in the state city."

"Didn't Lord Zhizhou set up a banquet, why did he come back so soon?" Yun Xue felt a little surprised when she saw Shen Hongjun leading Yun Zhen, Shen Zhong and the others back, so she asked casually.

"I was worried that I didn't know how to clean up at home, and I didn't like that occasion, so after a few drinks, I said goodbye and came back. Looks like it's almost cleaned up here? Tomorrow, I will let Shen Zhong, Shen Liang, Yun Zhen, and Tianfu escort you, and we will go back to Beijing together. ”

"It may take a little longer on the road, after all, there are still many infantry, and it will take about half a month to reach the capital. You are a little prepared in your heart, if you are really impatient, let them send you to the capital first. "Shen Hongjun knows Yunxue best, she is an anxious child, and she is afraid that she will be bored on the road.

Yun Xue shook her head, "It's okay, walk slowly on the road, and you won't be too tired." Jinxiu is still holding the child, and it can't be too fast. ”

Since it was almost cleaned up, Shen Hongjun was relieved. At the banquet just now, he couldn't eat much, and Shen Hongjun felt a little hungry. "By the way, did you have dinner? If you haven't eaten, why don't we eat together, I haven't eaten at all, I've only had a few glasses of wine. ”

Yunxue and the others were busy packing up their things, and they really forgot about dinner, so they hurriedly asked the kitchen to prepare the meal, and the big guys had dinner together.

After dinner, the big guys went back to rest. Shen Zhong and Yushu are also living in another courtyard these days, they are just getting married, and Shen Hongjun is not good for Shen Zhong to live in the barracks. So, Shen Zhong smiled and pulled the somewhat shy Yushu, and the two of them returned to Tingfeng Residence.

Yun Zhen and Jinxiu, the two of them held the child and returned to Liuyun Pavilion together. Shen Liang naturally lived in the front yard, and Aunt Fang and Yun Xia, together with Yun Xue, lived in the Luoxia Pavilion.

Tomorrow, I will enter Beijing with the army, and it is naturally not good to get close to Yun Xue on the way. So, Shen Hongjun stayed in Luoxia Pavilion and didn't leave, Yun Xue had no choice but to accompany him for a long time, and then drove Shen Hongjun away.
