The imperial troops of Qin and Jin and the Tibetan troops who were originally heading to Tokyo will return to their bases along the same route.
After all, the Zhu family rebels have even lost their base camp, how can they do it again?
At least Zhao Ji, an official who believed in his ability to love his disciples, didn't believe it, so he firmly stated that there was no longer any need for the two forbidden troops to continue southward.
Let them return to the border town quickly to prevent Na Xixia from taking advantage of the situation to make a sneak attack.
Furthermore, the decree was issued to reward those meritorious soldiers. In addition, the righteous man Fang La was promoted to Wu Lue Lang, and the three thousand righteous brave men were still under Gao Zhang's command.
Gao Qiu thanked the officials profusely and then slowly left the palace.
Although Zhang'er was not promoted, he was assigned the position of a local official by the officials, which was to have the right to know the military and state affairs of Suzhou.
After all, the magistrate of Suzhou has become the dead soul of the red thieves. Now that the city of Suzhou has been liberated, it is natural that officials need to be arranged quickly.
But now, the court has not had time to choose a suitable person, so the officials first let Gao Zhang take on this responsibility.
Not only did he have such an official position, but the officials in a good mood also rewarded him with a lot of property.
I think Mrs. Huang, who has been in a bad mood these days, should be happy.
After all, although Gao Qiu tried to conceal it before, he finally let Huang know that Gao Zhang was now in Jiangnan.
But fortunately, my wife Huang has always firmly believed that Zhang'er is a Gao family music star blessed by her ancestors, and she will definitely turn disaster into good.
Now it seems that the lady's analysis is indeed correct. It took so many years for Lao Gao's family to produce such a world-famous child prodigy. It is natural that he has deep blessings and can turn disaster into good fortune.
Go home quickly and tell your wife the good news first. However, your wife is now pregnant and you must not let her go to the ancestral hall to announce the good news.
After all, Mrs. Huang's habit of burning incense and candles was endless, which really gave Gao Qiu a headache.

After the Di newspaper was posted, the news that the child prodigy champion had actually achieved great victory in Jiangnan, that the Zhu family's rebels were defeated one after another, and that even their old nest was lost, swept the entire Bianliang, Tokyo, in an instant.
In less than a day, food prices, which had already increased by 50%, plummeted.
Various speculations about how this child prodigy champion can defeat more with less have become the hottest topics in Bianliang, Tokyo.
In Duan's Trading Company, Duan Dalang, who had been frowning these days, finally breathed a sigh of relief and even ate half a bowl more for lunch.
Seeing his overly cautious boss behave like this, Duan Zhongping shook his head helplessly, and then he proudly taught his son a lesson.
"How about it? Dad said at that time, since our champion dared to let me transport those equipment to Jiangnan.
Dad dares to conclude that Duke Zhuangyuan will definitely be able to calm down the chaos in Jiangnan..."
"Yes, yes, dad taught you right, the child is too cautious."
Duan Dalang, who always puts caution first, can only bow his head and listen to the instructions.
"Erlang has also sent a letter. He is staying in Changzhou now. It just so happens that he can receive equipment and goods in Changzhou.
It would also allow us, Duan's Trading Company, to flex our muscles in Jiangnan earlier. "
"By the way, Dalang, if you have time, go to the Kaifeng Metal Workshop and ask how many finished products the sewing machine still has."
"Get them all quickly, ship them as soon as possible, and transport them to the south of the Yangtze River. Don't miss the important event of Zhuangyuan Gong."
"Yes, I'll do it now, kid." Duan Dalang quickly took the last bite of rice into his mouth and walked away quickly.
At this moment, Duan Zhongping's wife, Mrs. Liu, chuckled and shook her head.
"The boss is always cautious when doing things. This is his strength and his weakness."
Duan Zhongping also nodded, feeling the same way.
"Yes, this boy can maintain his integrity, but if we want Duan's trading company to prosper, we really can't count on him."
"Husband, please leave two of those sewing machines for me. I also think that those things can be used to make clothes and shoes. They are really much better than cutting and sewing by hand."
"Well, since you think it's useful, madam, you can just tell Dalang later."
Duan Zhongping burped while stroking his long beard and began to make plans. He had already sent a batch before, but only a dozen units.
This time, there should be more. Duan Zhongping still remembers that he personally went to the Kaifeng Metal Workshop to admire the craftsmen making the sewing machines. It was really an exaggeration.
There were sparks flying everywhere in the workshop, and the metal machines were constantly moving back and forth.
The workbench they use to make parts is all made of metal. Relying on the water power to cut or polish, it is really faster than the manual production in the past.
But the sound there was so harsh that even now when I think about it, my scalp still feels numb.

At this moment, groups of imperial soldiers were patrolling Suzhou City.
Collected all the remaining defeated soldiers in Suzhou City, drove them out of the city, and moved into the camp built during the previous siege.
After all, those large camps were just built and were used to hold prisoners of war.
And the identities of those prisoners of war are being clarified. If they are civilians who have been forcibly recruited into the army, they will be transferred to another prisoner of war camp.
Those who are the remnants of the Zhu family will continue to be imprisoned here, including many people who were forcibly recruited into the army.
Most of them have been claimed by their relatives, signed and stamped, and left the prison camp and returned to their warm and stable homes.
As for the remnants of the Zhu family whose identities have been confirmed, there are also those who have been working in the Zhu family's enterprises and farms.
Later, there were nearly 20,000 prisoners of war who took up arms and served the Zhu family.
At this moment, these prisoners of war looked at the imperial officers and soldiers patrolling back and forth in the camp with dull eyes. They did not know what their future fate would be.
Fear and uneasiness have always been hanging in their hearts. It has been several days, but now, they still have no intention of dealing with them.
However, those die-hard minions of the Zhu family had already been executed on the spot outside the city after a public trial a few days after Suzhou City was liberated.
In those days, there were really a lot of killings and rivers of blood. There were more than 700 heads.
Seeing this, the people in Jiangnan were not only happy but also frightened.
Of course, what they were afraid of was not Gao Zhang, who became famous as a young man and saved the people of Jiangnan from danger.
It was the eunuch Tan Zhen who was responsible for killing people and appointed deputy envoy Tan Zhen.
It can be said that this great eunuch is definitely a great villain in the Jiangnan area who can stop children from crying at night.
At this moment, it was almost noon, and all the unlucky ghosts who were still detained in the prisoner of war camp had moved to the open space in the prisoner of war camp, waiting silently...
