Chapter 83 Good news returned
After a night of repairing in the Nameless Valley, the Escort went to the Nameless Lake to get enough water, and then the army set out on the journey back.
Oh yes!
The nameless lake now has a name, and the soldiers of the Guardians call him Victory Lake, because the first victory of the Guardians was obtained here, so in honor of this time, the soldiers named the lake Victory Lake.
The snow in the sky began to gradually lighten, maybe the snow in the sky knew that the guards were going back, so it was deliberately lighter.
Before the return of the army, the battle report about this battle had already been transmitted back to Yunzhou County.
Two days later, after two days and two nights on three horses, the Meteor Horse (the common name of the Ming Dynasty for the soldiers who transmitted emergency military information to the capital, also known as the Meteor Horse) finally came to the gate of Yunzhou County.
At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and the guards guarding the city slowly pushed open the city gate with a yawn, and the people lined up in an orderly manner and began to enter the city after passing through the inspections in turn.
Yunzhou County's entry into the city inspection is not strict, as long as you don't bring contraband and break the law, the guards will let you go after a second look.
There is no such thing as an entry tax in Yunzhou County.
Just that amount of money, our Yun Wang Ye can't look down on it at all, and it's easy to have a bad reputation, and the officials in the customs have to take this money, and he Yun Wang can't look down on it.
Therefore, in the first year of his tenure, he waives the entrance tax to the city.
Of course, this approach will offend some vested interest groups, and even the guards guarding the gate have lost a certain source of income, but Zhao Jun immediately reorganized all the military soldiers in the city, and then eliminated the empty salaries and the old, weak, sick and disabled, and became the guards who patrolled the streets and guarded the city, and the salaries and silver of the guards who guarded the city also ushered in a significant increase.
In this way, the soldiers guarding the city naturally had no opinion, and the rising salary was much more than the three melons and two dates given by the officials and masters who collected the city tax every day, and if it was gone, it would be gone.
As for those vested interest groups in the official face, Zhao Jun will kill them!
I don't want to listen to Lao Tzu's words after taking Lao Tzu's full amount of money, so I'll pull you to the vegetable market!
In this way, the old tradition that has lasted for decades in Yunzhou County, the city entry tax has disappeared, and this has naturally aroused a burst of praise from the people.
The city gate had just opened for a while, and the people waiting to enter the city had not had time to fully line up, when suddenly there was a sound of fast horses tapping in the distance!
Everyone couldn't help but look up, and saw that on the official road in the distance, three fast horses were galloping.
I could vaguely hear the other party shouting something, and everyone didn't hear it clearly, so they listened carefully, as if they heard something reported.
Before they could listen carefully, the other party had come closer, and everyone finally heard what this man was shouting about the man driving the three horses!
"Good news! Good news! Eight hundred miles expedited! Our escort defeated the attacking Tatar tribes at the Lake of Victory, killing 43,000 enemies! The enemy was defeated and fled! We didn't take a single prisoner! No more than 100 casualties! Victory! Victory! Victory! ”
The meteor horse shouted as he quickly rushed towards the city gate. When everyone heard his shout, their brains were first blown up, and then they showed great joy.
The stunned guards hurriedly asked everyone to get out of the way and let the meteor horse enter the city, and the meteor horse rushed into the city after him, leaving only two exhausted horses in place and his back with an emergency military intelligence flag on his back.
As soon as the meteor horse left, the crowd that was silent just now exploded!
The crowd cheered excitedly!
The people of Yunzhou County had already received the news that the Tatar tribe had gathered 50,000 people to invade them, and King Yun sent an escort army to snipe, and now that the army has returned, it is a big victory, how can this make everyone not shocked! Not rejoicing!
Even the guards guarding the city smiled, and the captain of the guard hurriedly ordered the tired and exhausted horses to be pulled down and sent back to the barracks to make up for it with concentrate.
This is a hero, if it weren't for the day and night of these two horses, how could the good news come back so quickly?
Not to mention the commotion caused by the meteor horse at the gate of the city, he also galloped all the way and shouted all the way when he entered the city, and instantly woke up the still quiet Yunzhou City.
After hearing the military situation clearly, the people smiled, and the merchants lowered their prices to celebrate, and merchants like Liquor directly said that they would give away hundreds of thousands of jars of wine for people to drink for free!
The entire city of Yunzhou was plunged into a carnival of celebration.
Galloping in the sea of carnival, the meteor horse galloped all the way and finally stopped at the Cloud King's Mansion.
At this time, Zhao Jun had just finished eating fried dough and soy milk breakfast, and was thinking about whether to go fishing for sky fish again, when he suddenly heard the noise outside.
You must know that this is the palace, covering an area of dozens of acres, the whole palace is terrible, they are still in the backyard, it is far away from the surrounding other households and streets, you can hear the noise here, you can imagine how lively it is outside.
This situation instantly aroused Zhao Jun's curiosity, and he immediately called Wang Huaien to let him go out to investigate the situation.
Wang Huaien took the order and left, but after a while, he trotted back with a smile on his face, followed by a young man wearing a guard uniform and a command flag on his back.
As soon as he saw the young man Zhao Jun, he recognized it, this was the dress of the guards, and then looked at the Ling Qi behind the young man and Wang Huaien's happy and smiling expression, Zhao Jun guessed in his heart.
Sure enough, as soon as the two of them trotted all the way to him, they heard Wang Huaien impatiently say, "Lord Wang, good news!" Good news! ”
Zhao Jun glanced at the guy who was so excited that he didn't know what to say, and pulled him aside to face the young man.
Seeing this, the young man hurriedly stood upright, and gave a military salute to Zhao Jun, and said loudly:
"Scout Zhou Mingshan, the scout battalion directly under the guard army, has seen the prince! Chitose Wang! ”
Zhao Jun smiled slightly, patted the young man's shoulder, and said with a warm smile: "Okay!" Good! Good! This is not in the army, there is no need to be so polite, let's talk about it, what kind of military intelligence has come back? ”
Zhou Mingshan saw that Yun Wang Ye patted his shoulder, and his whole body trembled with excitement, but he also knew that now was not the time to be excited, so he hurriedly took out the good news document written by Ding Hongguang in his arms, held it high above his head with both hands, and handed it to Zhao Jun, and said at the same time:
"Lord Wang, it's good news! Our army defeated the Tatars by the Lake of Victory, beheaded 43,000, and suffered only a few hundred casualties, of which no more than a few dozen were killed in battle, which was a great victory! This is a good news document written by the commander, please take a look! ”
Zhao Jun nodded slightly, smiled and took the good news documents, opened them and looked at them carefully, while Zhou Mingshan got up silently and stood aside without speaking after handing over the good news documents, waiting quietly.
After a long time, a smile appeared on Zhao Jun's face, and finally finished reading the good news document in his hand, and he couldn't help laughing:
"Hahahaha! All right! All right! What a big win! What a big win!
The guards are doing a great job! It's beautiful!
This king will reward you heavily!
You deserve a reward! ”
Zhou Mingshan on the side immediately showed an expectant smile on his face.
The heavy reward that the prince said in his mouth is really exciting!
……
Call! Today is more than 12,000, my fingers are stiff, let's do it today, sleep and sleep, brothers and sisters, the first order on the first day to help hold a field, thank you for the snow!
