After settling the accounts, it was time to rest and organize.
There is still more than an hour before the third watch. If you are more agile, you can still squeeze out some time to squint your eyes.
When Hong Tao saw all the generals leaving the tent, he stepped forward and said, "Father, with the military achievements I have made now, are they enough to put gold on my face?"
The gilding mentioned here naturally refers to something else.
To put it bluntly, it refers to a certain kind of capital gained, and this capital is directly related to the direction of his marriage to Qi Xiaotong.
There are two main ones.
The first is Qi Yu’s side.
He sent himself here with the intention of establishing himself in a successful career and using the income as a military merit as a betrothal gift in the future.
In this way, both Qi and Qi families will have face.
Next is the imperial court.
Xiaotong is now considered a member of the royal family, so her marriage should theoretically be decided by the royal family.
If someone proposes marriage with such great military merit, even a member of the royal family will not be able to say anything sarcastic.
Qi Jing weighed it briefly and said: "In terms of military merit, you are already more than enough. My father will definitely go to the court to seek a relatively decent honor for you."
After a pause, he added: "However, those are secondary! With my relationship with Shaocheng, how can I be influenced by external forces? Regardless of whether the court will grant this face or not, I will give a betrothal gift to the Qi family."
When it comes to the lifelong happiness of his adopted son, Qi Jing is still very principled.
Besides, during this Northern Expedition, Qiongzhou contributed both money and effort, so how could I not be aware of it?
No matter what others say, in Qi Jing's heart, the matter is done and untouchable.
"Father...are you really going to hire someone from the Qi family?"
"Of course! Shaocheng and I are not only fellow villagers, but also classmates and colleagues. We have a very irresistible relationship. In this case, why not manage the relationship between the next generation? Compared with the common family relationship, the relationship between Qin and Jin
Wouldn’t it be one step closer?”
Upon hearing this, Hong Tao's heart immediately became pounding.
It was as if he suddenly saw his future happiness.
Just as he was about to ask further, Qi Jing waved his hand and said, "Now that we are facing a formidable enemy, you'd better focus on the military aspect. We can't discuss the matter of your children's personal relationship until the day we succeed." Hong Tao
Hearing this, his face straightened up and he said solemnly: "My foster father is right, he is his son Meng Lang."
"Okay, you go down and have a rest. In a little while, my father will be ready to command his troops!"
"Yes, foster father!"
…
After leaving the big tent, Hong Tao returned to his own tent.
I don't know whether it was due to his eagerness to achieve great results or because the atmosphere before the war was too tense, but he actually fell asleep in bed.
Can't sleep.
That's all, we won't sleep if we can't sleep.
Hong Tao climbed out of bed, picked up the lamp, and then took out a faded embroidery bag and started caressing it.
Judging from the degree of wear and tear on the embroidery bag, he must have played with it frequently. As a result, there were small, frizzy holes in some places.
What was contained inside was the beautiful woman's affectionate hair. This object had become General Hong's spiritual sustenance.
"Saurus lovesickness, the dawn is cold, and the lonely shadow is so sad..."
"Uh... what should I say next? Writing poetry is damn difficult, isn't it?"
One second he was so romantic, and the next second he turned into a foul-mouthed person. Only he, Hong Tao, could do such a nonsensical thing.
In order to win the favor of his father-in-law, this boy really risked his life.
Needless to say, I have read a lot of books by sages.
At the very least, you can already write a few bullshit poems in eight paragraphs for a penny.
At this moment, a charming voice suddenly floated over, and what she recited was exactly the antithesis of Hong Tao's poem.
"It's hard to see, hard to think about, and I sleep with regrets all night long."
"who?"
"You idiot, you can't even hear my voice?"
"Ah...am I dreaming?"
Under the light, a beautiful figure suddenly flashed out. Look carefully, who is it if it's not Qi Xiaotong?
However, Hong Tao still felt that he was in a dream. It wasn't until he twisted his thigh and felt pain that he suddenly woke up.
Damn it, it turns out this is not a dream~~
"How did you come?"
"Nothing else, I just stopped by to take a look..."
By the way, what kind of way are you following?
Very puzzled!
Hong Tao was about to ask, but he saw the beautiful woman smiling and said: "I came here in such a hurry, why don't you give me a seat and show your concern?"
"Ah... I'm so stupid, sit down, sit down!" After saying that, he hurriedly wiped a rough ponytail and made a respectful gesture.
In addition, he hurriedly made a glass of cold water and enthusiastically presented it to the beautiful lady.
The conditions in the army are quite difficult, and no matter who you are, you have to make do with them.
After sitting down, the two began to talk freely for the first time after parting.
Hong Tao said that he had already read Xiaotong’s letter, and more than once.
What he never expected was that Australia would become a nation. Not only that, she would also take the top spot.
In addition to the love between children, he also introduced the wars since the Northern Expedition.
According to what he said, the war with the two powerful forces was far more cruel than imagined. If the worries about supplies had not been eliminated, this battle would not have been possible.
In other words, Qiongzhou played a crucial and decisive role in logistical assistance.
On a personal level, he was especially grateful to his father-in-law for his careful care.
If it hadn't been for the soft protective armor he had given me as a gift, I would have been shot to the point of being left heartbroken.
This shows how foresight Lao Taishan is.
After talking about the military situation, Hong Tao made some comments on the soldiers in the account.
In this section, he specifically mentioned the former military supervisors, Lu Boxuan and Lu Cifu.
During this period, he worked tirelessly and without complaint, and was regarded as a super model among civil servants.
It's a pity that not long ago, he was suddenly recalled by the court and said that he would serve as a deacon in the cabinet.
Too!
Since the defeat of Liang Yingzhong, the Dafeng Dynasty has not established a new chief minister. Naturally, as the second minister, he has to return to the court to discuss politics and preside over the overall situation.
This was something that had been planned for a long time and was known to both the government and the public, so it was not a surprise.
As for why a new chief minister was not established, there are naturally different opinions, and no one can guess the true holy intention.
As for Lu Boxuan, he is happy to see this. Without the first assistant, wouldn't he be the biggest?
After finishing speaking, Hong Tao couldn't wait to ask: "Tell me, why are you here?"
Xiaotong deliberately put it off and said with a smile: "I won't tell you yet, let you guess!" This chapter has been completed!
