"Excuse me, sir, but there is news from Xiangzhou."
After the pardon was over and Han Shiyin took over the imperial edict, Mrs. Zhen asked the eunuch.
The eunuch immediately looked at Mrs. Zhen with a smile and said congratulations, "Congratulations to Mrs. Zhen, the report of the battle of Xiangzhou has indeed come. Xiangzhou has won a great victory. General Bai set fire to Baili Hongqingshan and settled the matter. He has completely pacified the Hongqingshan thieves. Your Majesty, Long Yan, is delighted."
The bandits in Hongqingshan have been pacified!
Hearing these words, Zhen, the five girls Han Shiyin, Xiang Ling, Liu Yiren, Li Shishi, and Liu Hongxiu couldn't help being pleasantly surprised, and the entire Tiance Mansion behind them also showed happy expressions on their faces.
No wonder!
The female relatives of Wuhou Mansion, including Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Zhou, and Mrs. Mi, who were nearby, thought to themselves, "No wonder."
No wonder the imperial court pardoned Zhen and granted her the title of Lady of the Third Grade, but now, just over half a month later, Han Shiyin was granted the title of Lady of the Fourth Grade.
It turned out that Bai Yuxian had completely pacified the Hongqingshan bandits.
It is completely reasonable for the emperor Long Yan to be so pleased with such great achievements that he would be rewarded.
He understood the reason in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel envious, especially when he looked at the fourth-grade imperial decree in Han Shiyin's hand.
Han Shiyin and Bai Yuxian had only been married for a short time, but now they were directly granted the title of fourth-grade imperial concubine by the imperial court. The time before and after was less than half a month. Tiance Mansion had two more imperial concubines, and the Zhen family She is still the third-grade imperial concubine, what a sight it is.
And everyone in the Wuhou Mansion, including Mrs. Bai, who was present, knew this.
The fact that Zhen and Han Shiyin were awarded imperial titles was just the icing on the cake. Then when Bai Yuxian returned to Beijing in triumph, the real reward from the imperial court would be the big one.
What a scenery it was at that time.
Mrs. Bai was already a little unimaginable in her heart, and she was so envious that it was hard to express. It would be great if this happened in their Wuhou Mansion.
As Han Shiyin was also pardoned and sentenced to death, and he learned that the Hongqingshan bandits had been completely defeated, the entire Tiance Mansion started to celebrate in excitement.
After the Han family learned the news, the Zhou family once again brought all the female relatives of the Han family to Tiance Mansion.
At the same time, in Chang'an City, the news of Xiangzhou's victory and the complete pacification of Hongqingshan spread like a hurricane, instantly causing an uproar and shocking countless people.
Although during this period of time, good news has been coming from Xiangzhou.
Everyone also believed that judging from the battle reports, the Tiance Army was definitely sure of quelling the unrest in Hongqingshan, Xiangzhou. The next step was a matter of time.
But I never thought that Hongqingshan would be pacified so quickly.
After all, it has only been more than a month since the Tiance Army set off for the expedition.
It took just over a month to directly put down the turmoil in Hongqingshan. You must know that there were more than 70,000 thieves, not more than 7,000, not more than 700.
Many people find it hard to believe.
But the fact is before our eyes, but it makes people have to believe it.
In the palace, Li Longji brought Prince Li Heng, Prime Minister Li Linfu and other civil and military ministers of the third rank or above to the palace and began to inquire and discuss the next reward for Tiance Army, especially for Bai Yuxian.
Originally, for sending Bai Yuxian to Xiangzhou to quell the chaos, Li Longji actually never thought about how big a reward he would give Bai Yuxian.
Because when Bai Yuxian was first dispatched to Xiangzhou to quell the chaos, the information indicated that the forces of the Hongqingshan rebels were not large, only more than 10,000 people.
At that time, Li Longji's main idea was to send Bai Yuxian over to test the results of Bai Yuxian's preparation and training for the Tiance Army, and to test the Tiance Army. At the same time, he thought that as long as Bai Yuxian could put down the rebellion, Bai Yuxian would be able to completely establish his position. Today's position as the commander-in-chief of Tiance's army silences those who question it.
But he didn't expect that the power of the Hongqingshan bandits would grow to a huge scale of more than 70,000.
Bai Yuxian's performance in this battle was beyond his expectations, and the result was simply brilliant.
Therefore, Li Longji also changed his original idea of rewarding for the quelling of the chaos in Hongqingshan.
This time Bai Yuxian pacified the Hongqingshan bandits, Li Longji felt that he should not only reward Bai Yuxian, but also reward him heavily.
Because Bai Yuxian's performance and results deserved his heavy reward.
——
A few days later.
Xiangzhou.
Bai Yuxian, who had been stationed in Xiangzhou City for several days, finally received a reply from the court ordering him to return to the court with the prisoners.
After receiving the order, Bai Yuxian did not hesitate at all, and directly led his army to escort the captives back to the capital.
During the few days he was stationed in Xiangzhou City, Bai Yuxian also personally visited the Liu family and the Qin family respectively, and received an unprecedented high-level reception from the two families.
At the same time, during this period, Bai Yuxian also made some arrangements with the two companies regarding the future business layout.
Bai Yuxian planned to ask Qin Yuniang to start building and running his business after returning to the capital, with the capital as the center, and then establish a cooperative relationship with the Liu family and the Qin family in Xiangzhou to open up the business between the capital and Xiangzhou. The channel established a tripartite cooperation chamber of commerce.
After the establishment of this chamber of commerce, it first opened up each other's business channels from Xiangzhou to Jingshi to stabilize the business between the two places, and then radiated and expanded to other places outside through the line between Jingshi and Xiangzhou.
As for Bai Yuxian's proposal, Liu Zongzheng and Qin Fuwen agreed without any hesitation, and unanimously recommended Bai Yuxian as the leader after the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce.
Because both of them know that in this world, if a business wants to develop and grow, the most important thing is to have people on the official side. As long as there are people on the official side to act as a big tree, then no matter what business you do, it will definitely be profitable.
On the other hand, if there is no one on the official board, no matter how good your idea is for doing business, it will be doomed to be difficult to implement. Even if you do it, I am afraid that it will only be fat in the eyes of others.
Both Liu Zongzheng and Qin Fuwen had no doubt that based on Bai Yuxian's victory over Hongqingshan this time, his status would definitely rise again after returning to the capital. Under such circumstances, their chamber of commerce has Bai Yuxian in officialdom. If you support me, you can imagine the future development.
And in this way, the interests of their two families and Bai Yuxian will be tied more closely.
How could the two families not agree to seize such a good opportunity?
You see, even the new governor of Xiangzhou is constantly trying to lean on Bai Yuxian, a big tree visible to the naked eye.
After Liu Zongzheng and Qin Fuwen agreed to finalize the next business development, Bai Yuxian was also in a good mood.
Because in this way, as long as the follow-up development goes smoothly and there are no problems, then if he wants to raise an army later, the financial problem will be solved.
There are still many years before the Anshi Rebellion, which is enough for him to develop his business lines and accumulate money and food.
In the following time, he only needs to continue to slowly develop his own power and accumulate his own strength.
Accumulate food widely and slowly become king.
After the army left Xiangzhou City, they returned all the way to the capital Chang'an.
However, compared with the marching speed of nearly two hundred miles a day, the return speed of Tiance's army was much slower at this time.
The main reason is that there are nearly 20,000 captives of the Hongqingshan rebels in the army. The court's order also requires Bai Yuxian to take these captives back. The emperor wants to check them in person, and then a prisoner dedication ceremony will be held.
Therefore, the Tiance Army had to slow down.
Otherwise, if there was only Tiance Army, Bai Yuxian's marching speed would not be slower than when he came.
And in the future, when leading troops to march, Bai Yuxian will not be slow, but as fast as he can, so that the Tiance Army will develop a habit through long-term practical actions.
As long as you maintain the speed every time you go on an expedition, it will automatically become a habit for everyone in the Tiance Army over time. I am afraid that if you are slow by then, you will not be used to it.
Finally, because of being dragged down by the captives.
It took Bai Yuxian and the Tiance Army a full month to return to the capital.
However, Bai Yuxian did not do anything during this month.
Bai Yuxian left the task of leading the army directly to Feng Changqing, while he continued to practice swordsmanship along the way to increase the progress value of [Sword Crazy].
After a month of this, the army finally returned to the capital, and the tall towers of Chang'an City slowly appeared in the sight of Bai Yuxian and others.
"Finally home."
Looking at the familiar Chang'an City Tower in his sight, Bai Yuxian couldn't help but smile.
Behind Bai Yuxian, all the Tiance troops couldn't help but show excitement on their faces.
