Chapter 464: Rank and Rank Higher

This time the results were brilliant, the losses were also quite staggering, and there were enough troops in the north to support the northern and western expeditions.

The Liang Jiajun lost 1,800 men, and the Yanyun Iron Cavalry lost 1,200 cavalry, and both units had alternates, so they could completely maintain their current structure.

A large number of captured war horses, dressed in cotton vests, can be ridden by the infantry and killed in the desert with the army.

The members of the Liang Jiajun are mostly northerners, who are more able to adapt to the cold climate.

"The current problem, in addition to logistics, is that Guan Long doesn't know how to express his position......"

Lin Xiu, as a staff officer, also joined the discussion.

He has a good physique, he went to Yecheng to appease the Northern Hebei Army and their families before, and when he returns this time, he also hopes to follow Liang Xiao into the desert and live his life in vain.

Everyone heard the meaning of Lin Xiu's words, and looked at Chang Polang, who was fighting on behalf of Guan Long, intentionally or unintentionally.

Chang Polang remembered Lin's advice, Huo Ran got up and volunteered.

"The last general, please be the vanguard!"

The crowd rejoiced.

If he is a pioneer, it is not only a statement on behalf of the Chang family, but also a signal to Guan Long.

The Guanlong nobles are being reused by the imperial court and have not been suppressed!

The rise of Liang Xiao has brought about the gradual decline of the once great great family, and the children of all clans in Guanlong still have the opportunity to enter the court as officials!

Liang Xiao readily agreed, and after the meeting was dismissed, he left Chang Polang alone to talk.

"Your Majesty has already discussed with the Prime Minister, and will give a satisfactory future to the families representing Guan Long, as for your Chang family, you will be treated the same as the Lin and Wang families, and your own reward for this battle will be counted separately."

Chang broke the waves and was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, and went back to inform Lin Ming.

Liang Xiao then went to deal with the prisoners.

It's Mid-Autumn Festival now.

36,000 Beihu prisoners were taken into Yanzhou City one after another.

The avenues were crowded with angry civilians, throwing mud and rotten leaves at them.

Eggs are more expensive, and unless they're already stinky, they really want to take them out and throw them around.

Looking at the dejected and courageous appearance of the Beihu captives, the soldiers and civilians of Yanzhou all felt raised their eyebrows.

The Beihu people who once ravaged the Great Zhou actually have today!

"I heard that among this group of invincible Beihu people, there are still many members of the Northern Jackal Rider, after being captured, when they saw our Marquis of Lanling, they kowtowed all day and night, and they didn't dare to look up at all!"

The laughter of the people contrasted sharply with the horror of the captives.

They had indeed been frightened by Liang Xiao, and they just wanted to be able to survive.

In the prisoner camp, all the captives have been disarmed and unarmed, and their bodies have been thrown to the ground, begging for mercy from Liang Xiao on the high platform.

"From now on, you will atone for your sins with coolies and distribute mining until the court is gracious! Do you have any comments? ”

Liang Xiao's majestic and arrogant questioning seemed to this group of captives to be tantamount to a heavenly sound.

"Marquis Xie Lanling spare his life!!"

Looking at the heartbroken captives in the audience, Liang Xiao was quite satisfied.

In the future, it will be necessary to invest a lot of troops to supervise this group of captives, but there can be 36,000 miners who work hard and do not pay their wages, and the profit is not small.

In accordance with the law and military law, such captives were tattooed on their faces to prevent them from fleeing.

Da Zhou has rarely used ink punishment anymore.

This means that in the future, when the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty see the tattoos on their faces, they will default to the fact that they are prisoners of Beihu, which can be regarded as a punishment.

Compared with the 100,000 soldiers and civilians who have died tragically since the disaster of moving the capital, such a punishment is not excessive.

Yanzhou had enough free miners and porters, and the original miners and porters, who were hired at their original salaries, were recruited by Liang Xiao to be transferred to the people's husband.

Suddenly changing the guard and doing easier work with the same salary, these Yanzhou people naturally couldn't help but be ecstatic and grateful.

On the same day, Duan Yunyi and the ministers discussed and prepared a holy decree, the content of which was announced to the world, and it was first posted on bulletin boards all over the capital.

[Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: Liang Xiao, the former general of the military department, and the marquis of Lanling, commanded the three armies in the north, broke 200,000 Beihu, beheaded 160,000 people, captured 36,000 prisoners, and seized countless baggage and gold and silver, and the whole country celebrated.

[For the details of the promotion of the rest of the soldiers, the court has its own official documents, and Liang Aiqing will reward them on his behalf! ] 】

[Soldiers who fight in the north will be rewarded with 30 taels of silver per person, and 20 taels will be rewarded for each level of beheading!] The soldiers left behind in the north will be rewarded with fifteen taels of silver each! For the martyrs who died in battle, the pension of their relatives will be increased by five times, and the children will be raised by the imperial court until they are sixteen years old, and if they join the army, they are allowed to inherit the rank of their fathers! 】

[I discussed with the hundred officials and accepted Liang Aiqing's request, and the "Liang Family Army" was renamed "Great Zhou Wuwei", expanded to 20,000, and substituted 10,000, Yanyun Iron Cavalry expanded to 40,000, substituted 10,000, and authorized Liang Aiqing to directly govern the two armies! ] 】

[Liang Aiqing should be responsible for the Northern Expedition, do his best, if he wins, he will be encouraged, and if he does not win, he will not be guilty! ] 】

[Chin this. 】

On the day the decree was announced, all the soldiers and civilians of the city rejoiced!

While the people sang the praises of the empress Shengming, they couldn't help but start worrying.

"The Marquis of Lanling has already achieved fame, I heard that His Majesty is going to arrange a royal marriage for him, there is no need to go deep into the crisis-ridden desert, right? Can't you hold someone else responsible......"

"By the way, if the Marquis of Lanling ties the knot with the royal family, what will Miss Mu do?"

Originally, the people were still worried, but when it came to Liang Xiao's marriage, the style of painting took a sharp turn and began to develop towards all kinds of explosive gossip.

Duan Yunyi was in the West Palace Villa, accompanying Duan Yunsleeve's mother and son, and he was excited.

In fact, she hoped that Liang Xiao could arrange for others to go on an expedition to the desert, so that he could return to Beijing as soon as possible......

I want to see through it.

Great Zhou Wuwei!

The elite Liang family army under Liang Xiao was officially renamed Da Zhou Wuwei by the edict of the empress.

The renaming of this army made the people of the capital can't help but recall the founding marshal of the Great Zhou.

Great Zhou Martial Saint!

People seem to have grasped the empress's good intentions in agreeing to the matter.

"I heard that the martial saint and the clan brother of the first Lanling Marquis, our Great Zhou Martial Saint should have a successor!"
