"Good news from Northern Xinjiang! Eighty thousand enemies were killed and 40,000 were captured! All forty-eight troops in Northern Xinjiang surrendered!"
"Good news from Northern Xinjiang! Eighty thousand enemies were killed and 40,000 were captured! All forty-eight troops in Northern Xinjiang surrendered!"
"Good news from Northern Xinjiang! Eighty thousand enemies were killed and 40,000 were captured! All forty-eight troops in Northern Xinjiang surrendered!"
In September, the city of Shenjing, which was still in the heat, began to boil again.
As the red feather messenger shouted all the way, news of the great victory in Northern Xinjiang began to spread inside and outside the capital.
More than 80,000 people were killed and more than 40,000 captured.
There are thirteen tribal leaders, big and small, and eleven generals of ten thousand households and above.
We also captured the banners of various tribes, the enemy's banners, and the banner of King Wala Zuoxian.
Now all the more than 40 tribes in Northern Xinjiang, large and small, have bowed their heads.
Not only did they regain Dunhuang, but they also brought all the south of Balsikou Mountain and the east of the Kunlun Mountains into the rule of Da Chu.
Ever since the emperor's imperial horse was released from Nanshan and the swords and guns were stored in the warehouse, Da Chu has not seen such a great victory for many years.
I originally thought that the war in Northern Xinjiang would drag on for a long time, but many officials in the court had already begun to write letters to suspend the war.
Today's great victory really cheered up the spirits of the Dukes in the court.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Emperor Taichang Li Dan was discussing the details of the battle with his ministers. Suddenly he heard shouts from outside the hall, and his originally excited face froze in an instant.
"I respectfully send you your holy greetings!"
Amidst the shouts of the ministers, Emperor Longqing Li Zhe walked in with a smile on his face.
"My son, please see your father!"
Seeing Li Zhe come in, Li Dan also quickly stepped forward to greet him.
"Hahaha! Everyone, get up! I heard that the battle report from Northern Xinjiang has been sent. We won!"
With Li Dan's support, Li Zhe slowly walked to the dragon chair and asked everyone with a smile.
"Your Majesty, we not only won the battle, but also annihilated all the enemy troops. It is a pity that King Zuoxian of Oara escaped!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, now that all of Northern Xinjiang has surrendered to Chu, Prince Xining is still preparing to go north to the grassland to teach the Wala Tatars a lesson!"
"Your Majesty, if we attack Oala, I am willing to ask for orders to go out!"
As soon as Li Zhe finished speaking, the warriors throughout the dynasty began to discuss it.
It was completely different from his attitude towards Li Dan just now.
"Hahaha, if we continue to fight, it won't be possible. We are still waiting for disaster relief in various places in Dachu, so we can't take the military lightly anymore!"
Although Li Zhe also wanted to continue fighting, he also knew what was going on in the court.
In the past few years, natural disasters have continued and tax revenue has been greatly reduced. If it were not for the fact that the national treasury still has a lot of money and food, I am afraid that this war will not last.
Now there is no more energy left to go on an expedition to the grassland.
"Where's the battle report? Let me take a look!"
Upon hearing this, Li Dan quickly handed the battle report to Li Zhe.
Li Zhe picked up the battle report and began to watch it carefully.
"Okay! Okay, okay! This Jia Hui is the seventeen-year-old guerrilla general from before. He is indeed a descendant of Rongguo. Even compared to Dai Shanggong, he is no less generous!"
"What a fire attack! Jin Wei's talent is no less than that of Old Brother Wang!"
"It's a pity that I ran away from Arutai. It was really a bargain for me!"
"Oh! This battle report makes my blood boil. I really want to go to the battlefield again to see it!"
After reading the battle report, Li Zhe said with unfinished meaning.
"Since the soldiers are so brave, we should not hesitate to reward them. Let's talk about how to reward them!"
In one sentence, Li Zhe stated the purpose of his visit.
This is for the reward from this army. Although they are all awarded by the imperial court.
But who decides it makes a big difference.
"Your Majesty, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, the Prince of Xining County will expand his territory in this battle, so he should be promoted to a noble title!"
"No, Your Majesty, the king of Xining County is not from the royal family, how can he be crowned a prince? In my opinion, Your Majesty can protect his son!"
"Your Majesty, what Liu Shangshu said is different..."
Suddenly, the civil and military parties in the court began to quarrel, which was also a common occurrence in the court.
After all, military commanders want to be awarded meritorious services, while civil servants do not want to violate the etiquette system, and they do not want to see too many honorary awards.
Not to mention the civil and military debates in the court, at this time in Shenjing City, reports of the battle in Northern Xinjiang had long been posted on the streets.
The common people loved to join in the fun. Listening to the scholars describing the contents of the battle report, everyone became excited.
In the Rongguo Mansion, Jia's mother was secretly feeling sad while reading the letters from Yangzhou, when she suddenly heard Jia Zheng's excited voice coming from outside the court.
Turning around, he saw Jia Zheng running into his courtyard, his clothes disheveled and panting.
"Old lady, I'm so happy! I'm so happy!"
"Hmph! Your sister has been sick for so long, what else is there to celebrate? I asked you to go to Yangzhou to see her. One of you said that you are busy with official duties, and the other said that you have a prince. You are both heartless people!"
Seeing Jia Zheng, Jia's mother also became in a bad mood.
It seems that because of Jia Miner's illness, he also began to express his anger at Jia She and Jia Zheng.
"Old lady, what a happy event!"
Jia Zheng also knew why Jia Mu was angry. He paused for a while, and then became excited again.
"Old lady, good news has come from Northern Xinjiang. Brother Hui has made a meritorious service again! I heard that this is his first meritorious service. I'm afraid he will be awarded a noble title this time!"
"Is this true?"
After hearing the news, Jia Mu didn't care about anything else and quickly asked whether the news was true or false.
"Old lady, of course it is true! At this time, the battle report of Northern Xinjiang has been posted in Shenjing City, and the reward is being discussed in the court. Several colleagues said that Brother Hui is at least a viscount this time. Our family will also return to the ranks of nobles!"
The title of Da Chu is more complicated.
In addition to the fifth-level nobility of Dukes, Bozi and Men, there are also kinship nobility such as Jia She's first-class general, and nobility such as Captain Qingche.
But the most noble among them is the fifth-class noble.
Except for special circumstances, the fifth-level nobles are eligible. They will hold real power and be protected by personal soldiers when they come in and out. Halberds can be set up in front of the door. Civil servants will get off their sedan chairs and military attachés will dismount their horses.
It can be said to be extremely noble.
Since Jia Daishan's death, their family has been out of the family of relatives for a long time.
"Okay, okay, Brother Hui is indeed a good person. Go tell Feng Yatou that something good happened in the house today, and everyone will be rewarded!"
"Let's have a banquet at Rongxi Hall and let's have a good celebration!"
At this time, Jia's mother had no time to worry about Jia Min's condition. Apart from Baoyu, what she cared about most was the Jia family.
Although I feel sorry for my daughter, she is still inferior to the Jia family.
Zhengwuyuan, the courtyard that Jia Hui moved to before his expedition!
Xiren, who was doing needlework in the courtyard, suddenly heard the noise outside and couldn't help but walked to the door curiously.
"Haha! Xiren, we are here to congratulate you!"
As the voice fell, a large group of maids and women walked into Zhengwu Courtyard noisily.
Xiren was a little confused as to what happened.
