The first chief executive of the Metropolitan Protectorate, the chief official is called Metropolitan Protector, one person. The deputy capital protects the two. In addition, 2,000 sailors and 3,000 land divisions were dispatched, with a total of 5,000 soldiers and horses stationed here for a long time, and the defense was changed every three years.

The two generals who led the troops this time, the head of the water division will be a proper family member - Jiang Yuqing's second brother Jiang Yuhe.

This guy has been in the army for many years, and after fighting the Japanese state, he has accumulated enough military exploits to be promoted to the general Xuanwei of the fourth grade.

This time, I heard that Jing Yan and his sister had conquered the Peacock Country, and took the initiative to ask Ying to bring troops to garrison here.

The chief general of the Lu Division is called He Yunfei, who is about the same age as Jiang Yuhe, and he is a promising young general. After seeing Jiang Yuqing, he was very excited.

Jiang Yuqing heard the name familiarly, and his appearance was quite familiar. After searching for a little in memory, his eyes suddenly lit up: "I remember you!" Back then, at Yumen Pass, the dead-word flag on your body! ”

He Yunfei touched the back of his head a little shyly: "It's hard for the mother to remember the last general!" ”

Jiang Yuqing smiled and said, "Why don't you remember." I rescued you myself! I have never forgotten the heroes there! She suddenly didn't want to say more. If you talk too much, your eyes will easily fog up.

"I didn't expect that ten years have passed, and your mother has been okay all these years?"

He Yunfei's expression suddenly darkened when he heard this: "My mother has passed away three years ago!" ”

Jiang Yuqing realized that he had asked a stupid question, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I was abrupt." ”

He Yunfei said: "Niangniang doesn't have to blame herself. When my mother went, she walked away with a smile. She said I didn't disgrace her and her father. ”

Jiang Yuqing sighed: "She is an elder worthy of respect. Jiang Yuqing hurriedly changed the topic in order to prevent him from being sad again. How did he come to this place?

He Yunfei said that he was originally in the Northwest Army, under the command of General Wei Qing. Later, when the western expedition to Tibet, because of the lack of troops in the southwest, the emperor at that time transferred a branch from the northwest army and supplemented it.

He's in the team to be transferred.

He was originally a martyr, and he was extremely brave in battle, not only good at soldiers and good at strategy, but also made many military exploits, so he was very appreciated by the peak.

When he was in the northwest, the hussar general Wei Qing admired him very much, and even introduced a girl from his relatives to him as a daughter-in-law.

Later, he was successively transferred to southern Xinjiang and other places, fought on the battlefield for many years, and made great achievements. Now more than ten years have passed, and he is already a loyal general of Zhengsipin.

This time, I heard that His Majesty and Niangniang had defeated the body poison country, established the body poison capital to protect the house, and needed to transfer troops, so he automatically asked Ying to come without saying a word.

For this reason, it also made the wife of the family cry.

After He Yunfei went down to settle down, Jiang Yuhe rubbed his hands and said, "Quick, bring my nephew." He has so many uncles, and I haven't seen him yet. ”

Jiang Yuqing asked Zhuoma to bring Yiyi over and said to him: "Yiyi, this is the second uncle." Come, call the second uncle. ”

Yiyi shouted "Second Uncle" very obediently. stretched out his little hand to hug him, which really made Jiang Yuhe happy.

"Haha, my little nephew is so good. Yiyi is also so old, you and your brother-in-law can have a little princess.

When I came, the fifth daughter-in-law on the other side of the sea also gave birth to twins, and the fourth daughter-in-law had a second and second foot.

According to this situation, our generation wants to have another girl, but I think it's no fun. But you're different, there are many royal princesses, you can still give us another little niece. ”

The corners of Jiang Yuqing's mouth twitched, one by one, thinking about the girl and going crazy: "I want to too, but the matter of having children in this life has to be fate." ”

Jiang Yuhe thought for a while and said, "Yes! ”

Jiang Yuqing asked Jiang Yuhe again: "Second brother, I was busy before." I haven't been able to get a chance to ask you.

It will take at least a few years for you to come back here, what will you do with your sister-in-law? Does she blame you? ”

Jiang Yuhe shook his head and said with a smile: "Silly sister, I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, I was angry with my family before I came. They all supported me coming here.

The third uncle said that it is a good thing to expand the territory. Good men are all over the world, and the men of our family don't have to be confined to this part of Daxia, go out and walk around to know how big the outside world is.

As for your sister-in-law, she is a little reluctant. But it still makes sense. Two days before my departure, she returned to the capital with her children. ”

"That's good!" The brother and sister talked for a long time.

Because their station was near the port, which was also the headquarters of the Mauryan army. The house is well repaired, but because of the river, there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants. Therefore, Jiang Yuqing gave him a bunch of useful medicines.

In addition to the treatment of daily colds, there are also a bunch of medicines such as dysentery, cholera, dengue fever and schistosomiasis.

There are even some detoxification pills to prevent poisonous snake bites. Jiang Yuhe held this big burden of medicine, like a treasure.

In the evening, Jing Yan and Jiang Yuqing held a small dust-washing banquet for the courtiers who came from afar in the old palace, which is now the official residence of the Imperial Palace.

It is not so much a dust washing feast as a "family feast". At the banquet, there was no distinction between monarchs and ministers, everyone sat at the same table, eating and chatting. Talk about the customs, products and taboos here, as well as the next work arrangements for everyone.

I can't even find a decent table in this place. At this table, they put together three rectangular small tables, and everyone sat together.

On the sixth day of the fifth month of the fourth year of Zhenghe, the Great Xia Body Poison Capital Protectorate was established.

The Metropolitan Protectorate is very low-key, neither sending invitations nor holding banquets, but no one dares to underestimate it.

Do you dare to give it a try? The army of Great Xia will be able to set foot on your door on the same day.

Didn't they think that life was too comfortable, and they just let go of the good days, and they came forward to look for abuse, are they sick? Don't you see that the people of the Yue Clan, who were once invincible, are now prisoners of their ranks?

As for the former Peacock royal family, those who could afford to buy their lives were all released. But before releasing people, there will always be some news that will be "accidentally" revealed.

Therefore, whether you live or die after going out depends on whether your life is hard or not. It is better for them to pray that they will not do too much of their lack of virtue in the past.

Baha, the king of the dead country, also wants to live. But he woke up too late.

Before that, all his treasures had fallen into Great Xia's pocket.

The minerals he knew had also been used as capital by his sons and used to buy their lives in advance.

Forced to have no choice, he suddenly remembered a place that could be used as a life capital. That is Chabu Salt Lake.

The location of this salt lake was originally the biggest secret of their Yue Clan. But now the country he built is gone, and the entire royal family is about to be wiped out. I can't talk about what secrets are not secrets.

He really has no choice, I believe that if the ancestors knew, they would also forgive him, right?

Their ancestors were looking for their lost sheep when they accidentally found a large lake in the middle of the desert. The waters of this large lake are extremely vast and abundant, but they are salty.

It is not fish that is produced in the water, but salt from white flowers. At that time, the ancestors were so happy that they named this large salt-producing lake "Chabu", which means "treasure in the desert".

When the couple learned the news, they were overjoyed. As agreed, they prepared to release the vultures.

Who would have thought that not long after this guy came out of prison, he was bitten to death by a snake charmer on the street, a cobra that had just been caught and had not yet removed its fangs.

Jiang Yuqing assured Emperor Taizu that she really didn't do it!

As for the rest, after confiding in what they could, they were all pulled out and beheaded. Others have the capital to buy their lives, but if you don't have the capital, you can only die.

It has to be a little bit fairer to those who pay for their lives.

Knowing that there was such a place where they could scoop salt, the couple couldn't wait to get up and look for it immediately. However, there is still finishing work to be done at the moment, and we cannot leave immediately.

In this way, it dragged on the side of the poison until the end of the month, and then packed up and prepared to return home.

They were ready to return the way they came. After all, the large army is still waiting in the border area between Tibet and the poison. The thousands of soldiers they brought out were going back to the camp for repairs.

On the first night of the return trip, Jing Yan and Jiang Yuqing invited the generals and the chief officers to sit down and have a meal together.

I don't have any work arrangement, just a place thousands of miles away from my hometown, just a meal, talking, and having fun.

After the meal, everyone went back to their lodgings.

Jing Yan stopped He Yunfei and put a bright yellow holy decree in the palm of his hand: "This is for your mother." Open it and take a look! ”

He Yunfei was stunned for a moment, and then unfolded the holy decree. This is a posthumous decree, a posthumous decree to crown his mother as the "Lady of Righteousness".

At the end of the decree, two seals are stamped. One is His Majesty's private seal, and the other is the queen's phoenix seal.

It is the first time in history that a holy decree has both the emperor and the last two chapters on it.

The reason why it is a private seal is that His Majesty is fighting abroad, and the national seal is not suitable to be carried around.

After He Yunfei finished reading it, his eyes were red with excitement, and then he shed tears, knelt down and kowtowed: "He Yunfei, thank the lord Longen on behalf of his mother." ”

"Get up!"

After everyone understood what was going on, they all said hello to He Yunfei. Everyone has heard of He Yunfei, and he is an iron man. Mother He is also an admirable old lady who has the righteousness of her family and country.

Nothing was said all night.

The first day of June. It is advisable to go out, and it is advisable to travel far.

Early in the morning, Jing Yan, Jiang Yuqing, and Vice General Cheng took their original 3,000 soldiers, bid farewell to everyone, and set off to return to China from the same way.

Compared to when I came, my mind was full of war. On the return trip, the soldiers seemed relaxed and comfortable. This time, following His Majesty and Niangniang out, these 3,000 of them have earned enough military merits from top to bottom. Therefore, everyone smiled.

They walked north for seven or eight days all the way, and then arrived at the place of the first big battle after they entered the poison.

From a distance, I saw a team standing on the side of the road, dressed in gorgeous and fancy clothes, and very poisonous characteristics. They looked in the direction they came, as if they were waiting for them.
