In the north, Dingxiang City, today the army finally set off to return to the court.
The winding team is majestic and high-spirited, which is their pride.
What a great honor it is to wipe out the Turks. It can be said that they will be honored in this life!
Even when he is old, he will feel proud. When his children and grandchildren ask about him, he can pat his chest and tell about his glorious deeds of annihilating the Turks in the north!
Although not everyone can be granted the title of wife and son-in-law, the rewards will definitely not be small. This is a great victory. How can the court be stingy with these rewards?
However, on the sleigh at the end of the team, there were jars containing the ashes of those fallen soldiers.
Some can be found, and some can no longer be found. Those that can be found will naturally be given to their relatives and given a certain amount of compensation.
Of course, the pension provided by the court is just a drop in the bucket for a family. These are young adults, the backbone of the family, and yet they shed blood on the battlefield.
Looking at the ashes jars that kept passing in front of him, Luo Zhang felt a little heavy!
There were 200,000 troops when they left, but only 60,000 when they returned, and 10,000 horses stayed behind in the Nishu tribe. In other words, 130,000 Tang Erlangs were killed in the Northern Expedition to the Turks, which was not a small number.
"Damn Changsun Wuji, damn Changsun Chong!" Luo Zhang clenched his fists tightly.
The battle with the greatest loss of life this time was the attack on the Turkic camp. If it weren't for Chang Sun Chong's tip-off, that battle would never have been lost. Even after that battle, the Turks would have been defeated and they wouldn't have had to pursue them. So far away, we even encountered the snowstorm that almost killed Cheng Yaojin and others.
Just because of Chang Sun Chong's tip-off, 70,000 soldiers were lost in the First World War, which was extremely tragic. In addition, Chang Sun Chong froze to death in the wind and snow. Chang Sun Chong was guilty of a grave crime!
However, Luo Zhang knew that this was definitely not something a fool like Changsun Chong would dare to do. His father, Changsun Wuji, must be behind it, so Luo Zhang said that Changsun Wuji should also die!
His Majesty has not yet come to a conclusion on this matter. He has only sent people to search for him, but until now there is no news.
Some people say that Changsun Chong fled to the Western Regions, while others say that Changsun Chong is dead.
But Luo Zhang knows that this deal is definitely not dead, and the hatred value that keeps refreshing the screen is the best proof!
"Changsun Chong, don't let labor and management catch you, otherwise I will execute you in Lingchi!"
"Luo Zhang, let's go. No one will die in a war. These are their fate. Being able to defeat the Turks is our greatest comfort to them!" Cheng Yaojin rode his horse to Luo Zhang and said.
"Uncle Cheng, if I want to give these fallen soldiers a pension, what's the point?" Luo Zhang turned to look at Cheng Yaojin and said.
"You? Give them pensions? The court will arrange this matter. What are you pensioning?" Cheng Yaojin asked with some confusion.
"Do you think the court's pension is enough?" Luo Zhang sighed.
These words made Cheng Yaojin stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to think of something, and his expression changed. He felt a little lonely and regretful and said: "Tell me when you receive the pension, and I will be counted as one!"
Looking at Cheng Yaojin's leaving figure, Luo Zhang shook his head slightly. It's not that Cheng Yaojin and the others don't understand, but that society is like this. Soldiers' lives are worthless. This is still a victory. If they lose, don't say this. Whether the bones can be transported back or not, even the compensation will be pitiful!
It would be nice if someone could remember the dead soldiers, so why talk about pensions?
Chang'an Royal Pier is very busy today. The incident in Langya County has been known to many people for so many days, and the performance of the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty in this incident has also been publicized by many people.
As for who is promoting it, who cares so much now?
Today is the day for Liu Renyuan and Liu Rengui's fleet to return!
The pier was crowded with people, all wanting to see the Royal Navy.
However, groups of soldiers stopped them at the very front of the pier, preventing the common people from getting close.
There was a group of people standing there, headed by Eunuch Huang. Naturally, he came here to reward the army on behalf of His Majesty and read out His Majesty's imperial edict at the same time!
Accompanying him were the heads of various families, headed by the head of the Xiao family!
Although Luo Zhang is not here, the head of the Xiao family knows Liu Renyuan's position under Luo Zhang. With the victory of this war, Liu Renyuan and Liu Rengui will be knighted, so it is worthy of him to welcome him. Of course, there is also Luo Zhang in this. Face, and the reason why family business is involved.
After all, Liu Renyuan is responsible for many transportation matters. The county magistrate should take charge now. This sentence applies everywhere!
Amidst the bustle of people, large ships kept approaching from a distance, and finally anchored in the port.
Looking at the mottled marks on the edge of the ship, the originally noisy dock suddenly became silent.
This is the trace left after the war, which shows that the battle was not as easy as everyone thought, and they also respected the heroes!
When each navy soldier stepped onto the plywood, enthusiastic cheers rang out again, this time louder and more enthusiastic than before!
And when the people saw the Japanese and Goguryeo ships that finally entered the dock, the whole dock was boiling!
"Look, is that a Japanese warship captured by our navy? It seems different from ours!"
"This Japanese warship doesn't look very good, but our warship is still more powerful!"
"Look, that's a Goguryeo warship, and it doesn't seem to be that good!"
"Wow, that navy guy is so majestic and majestic. I wonder if he will like me!"
"Falling in on you? Even if someone likes you, I won't fall in love with you!"
"You dare to speak against me, and I will tear your mouth apart!"
"I didn't expect that our Tang Dynasty ships would dominate the sea one day. God really blessed our Tang Dynasty!" Xiao Yu said with emotion.
"Yes, who would have thought that the Royal Navy that Luo Zhang created at that time would have such achievements!"
"Look, that's my son, hahaha. He's darker and stronger. He's waving to me!"
"Hmph, what's so great? My son is stronger than yours. Look, he's waving to me too!"
A famous family leader had many emotions, and when he saw his son, he felt even more proud and proud of his own wisdom!
Look, how wise you are to send your son to the Royal Navy. Look, being a navy is so powerful, it is not much worse than joining the right guard or the left guard!
I wonder if my son has made any meritorious service this time and whether he can be promoted!
The ship was parked, and when the crew members escorted the dejected Japanese and Goguryeo people off the ship one by one, the people went crazy!
"Hahaha, look, those are Goguryeo prisoners and Japanese prisoners. These people actually dare to attack our Langya County. This is so audacious!"
"Now they should know how powerful they are. If they dare to offend me, Datang, this is a lesson!"
