Extraordinary Victory
Ten days later.
The border soldiers who were sending out the battle report rode their horses into the city gate. The border soldiers' eagle chess roared in the wind.
The soldiers who sent the military newspaper rode their horses and shouted loudly: "The border is a great victory! General He personally killed the Tatar Khan Batu! The border is a great victory!"
The streets were surrounded by people, all of whom were full of excitement and joy.
"That's great! The border army won a big victory!"
"It is worthy of being the unparalleled He Sanlang! He actually killed the Tatar Khan himself! Our Great Chu Dynasty has never had such a brave general in so many years! It is such a blessing for Great Chu!"
"After this battle, the border will be stable for several years."
"Isn't it? This is a great joy."
The soldiers who delivered the good news walked smoothly and entered the Golden Palace. After kneeling down, they announced the good news loudly: "Report to the emperor, the border is victorious! General He killed the Tatar Khan Batu in front of the formation! The Tatar cavalry was defeated!"
"In this battle, the border troops killed more than 10,000 enemies and surrendered 20,000 troops!
Emperor Xuanping, sitting on the dragon throne, looked happy and stood up suddenly: "Okay! OK! OK!"
All civil and military officials were also full of surprises and bowed their hands to congratulate them repeatedly.
This battle lasted for more than half a year in total. In the cold winter, the ice was frozen for thousands of miles and had to rest for two months. The ice and snow had just melted and the war began again.
No one expected that He Qi was so brave and powerful, and had such a great victory!
Emperor Xuanping was still young after all. He could not suppress his joy when he heard such good news. He walked down from the dragon throne and helped the border soldiers who came to deliver the good news with his own hands: "Thank you for your hard work! I have a lot of rewards!"
The soldiers of the border army were flattered and blushed with excitement: "The little one thanked the emperor. However, the little one dared to say the last word. In this battle, the border army suffered heavy casualties. The little one should not give a reward, and beg the emperor to issue an order to provide a pension to the families of the dead soldiers."
When the dead robe was lifted, the soldiers' eyes of the border soldier turned red and tears quickly poured out.
In this great victory, the Tatars were killed and injured, and the border troops also suffered heavy casualties. The battlefield that lasted for several miles was full of corpses, and blood sucked into the land. The land on that large area of battlefield was red.
The specific number of casualties and injuries has not been counted yet. However, roughly estimated that about 10,000 people died in battle, and half of them were seriously injured. There were countless minor injuries.
She shed tears when she was facing the Holy Palace in the Golden Palace, which was obviously an act of ruling. However, no one will blame him now.
Emperor Xuanping came back from his joy and sighed softly: "Don't worry, after the war, I will pay the rewards for my merits and rewards. The first thing I do is to pay for the families of the dead soldiers."
The soldier knelt down with red eyes and kowtowed three times.
...
No matter what, winning such a big victory is an exciting and exciting event.
After the soldiers retreated, Emperor Xuanping took the battle report and looked carefully. Then, he sent it to the ministers: "Let me take a look!"
Duke Wei took the initiative to take the initiative and was the first to read the war report, followed by Duke Jingguo. Then, he went to the hands of the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Revenue.
This battle report made everyone happy and happy.
After the ministers were calming down, Emperor Xuanping asked the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue: "After the war, we must reward merits and rewards, can the Ministry of Revenue support?"
Shangshu Liang bowed his hand and said, "Please rest assured. The old minister tried his best and would raise money. He would never disappoint the soldiers who had made contributions, and he would not let the dead soldiers die in vain."
Emperor Xuanping nodded: "I will order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take out all the money I can get. Be sure to reward the soldiers who have made great contributions!"
Military generals are different from civil officials. Civil officials take the imperial examination career. After ten years of hard study, they pass the imperial examination and Jinshi, and then they can enter the officialdom.
The promotion of a general depends on military merits. He fought hard with his head and his life. After the war, he must not be vague in terms of merit, otherwise he will lose the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies.
After the court was dispersed, Emperor Xuanping immediately went to Renhe Palace and told Empress Dowager Pei about the good news of the victory.
Queen Mother Pei has been vegetarian for half a year and is always worried about the safety of her daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren. She cannot eat well or sleep well. She has become much thinner and has a few wrinkles on her forehead and eyebrows.
As soon as the military newspaper was sent into the Golden Palace, Empress Dowager Pei received good news. At this time, she heard Emperor Xuanping say it again, and she became more and more happy: "He Qi made such a contribution, and the emperor should give him a good reward."
Emperor Xuanping smiled happily and said, "Of course."
...
The most happy thing about the border army is the Duke of Pingguo’s mansion.
When the lady heard the good news, she couldn't stop smiling, and her face almost shined: "I told me to give you the order that everyone in the mansion would reward you with a month's monthly money!"
Duke Ping stretched his eyebrows, full of joy and pride, but said, "Although you have won a big victory, you should not be careless. Those defeated soldiers will wander around and must not let it go..."
"Okay, just smile for a while if you are happy. There are no outsiders here, so you don't feel tired if you pretend to be tired." He Song smiled and teased: "Sanlang is so competitive, you, a father, have been compared. Why? Could it be that you are still jealous of Sanlang!"
Gong Gong was in a good mood, so he didn't bother to make fun of him and said with a smile: "My son is better than his own father. It's too late for me to be happy."
"After a few days, the memorial to be invited to the court will be sent to the border. This time, Sanlang made great contributions, and Dalang Erlang Silang must have made a lot of military contributions. Wait for the court to reward merits!"
He Song was not pretentious and said with a smile: "I also hope Erlang will be promoted to an official position."
It is quite dangerous for military generals to lead troops to battle, and the rewards are also very generous.
Civil officials need to be promoted, and seniority must be achieved. Military generals rely on military merits. He Qi is already the chief general in the army, and his official position is no longer available. The He Qi brothers and sisters have low official positions. This time they won a great victory and each was promoted to one or two levels of official positions. It is reasonable.
Zhu and Wei were each happy.
Cheng Jinyi was even more happy.
After a great victory at the border, she could also lead her children to the border to reunite with her husband.
As Duke Pingguo expected, five days later, the border army submitted a thick memorial for the request for merit.
This memorial was written by He Qi and written by He Dalang.
He Qi fought with Batu and killed Batu under the knife. Batu also tried his best to hurt He Qi before his death. Fortunately, He Qi avoided the vital points in time and injured his left shoulder.
He Qi insisted on fighting the war at that time, and after returning to the Central Military Camp, half of his body was covered in blood. Although his injuries were not alive, he lost too much blood. At least he had to lie on the bed and take care of him for two months.
Cheng Wang suggested that He Qi go back to his house to recuperate.
He Qi insisted on staying in the army: "There are many defeated Tatars who have fled everywhere. They must be killed completely, otherwise the people in the border town will suffer. As the chief general, how can I go home to recuperate? Even if I recover from my injuries, I have to stay in the tent of the Central Army."
