"Long live my emperor!"
"Everyone loves me!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Mingzhi and others stood in the center of the Qinzheng Hall, taking out the memorials they had already prepared from their wristbands, and accompanying the army to record the battle report. Liu Mingzhi held up the Generalissimo's tiger talisman with his hands.
"Your Majesty, all the results of the Western Expedition have been stated one by one in the memorial. Your Majesty, please take a look!"
"Send it up!"
The chief steward came down and took the memorial from Young Master Liu, returned to the dragon steps and handed it to Li Zheng.
Li Zheng looked at the tiger talisman that Liu Mingzhi handed over voluntarily, smiled and placed it casually on the dragon case.
Li Zheng carefully reviewed the results of the battle in the memorial and followed the seal script of the military record. The civil and military officials below also stared at the memorial in the emperor's hand. Although they could not see the content on the memorial, they could not stop their curiosity.
Heart.
The letter that Young Master Liu sent back by messenger stated that the Western Expeditionary Army would return in triumph soon, but no one in the civil or military dynasties knew the specific details of the victory.
Li Zheng looked at the contents of the memorial and couldn't hide the smile on his face, as if he had eaten countless honeys!
None of the civil and military officials were human beings. You could guess from the emperor's face that the results of the battle would be extremely fruitful. Each of the six ministers secretly figured out how to get a piece of the pie.
The military generals were also secretly gearing up. The scouts kept reporting to the emperor, but they could hear it clearly. The more than 300,000-strong army had more than 500,000 horses alone. Excluding the 200,000 soldiers brought by the Western Expedition Army
With a little thought, the cavalrymen could guess that the number of captured horses was around 300,000 yuan.
As for the war horses of the Western Regions, the Horse Administration spent a lot of gold and silver a year but could not get 10,000 of them. The war horses of about 300,000 were dug out from the cracks, and they were all based on a thousand horses.
Li Zheng handed the memorial to the chief steward with a smile.
The chief steward naturally understood the appropriate intention, took the memorial respectfully, cleared his throat and opened the memorial.
"Long live my emperor, my minister Liu Mingzhi is here to start!"
"In the second year of Ruian'an, all the countries in the Western Regions raised unknown armies and invaded our borders without declaring war. They slaughtered my people and massacred our compatriots. This move is too numerous to describe and is outraged by both humans and gods!"
"Your Majesty is wise and the power of Heaven is furious. You have been given the title of Generalissimo for the Western Expedition to command the three armies to go westward for the crusade!"
"On November 26, the second year of Ruian, an army of 400,000 soldiers marched westward from Yumen Pass with enemies of the country and their families, and fought bravely against the prisoners!"
"Three Years of Ruian"
"The army of the Western Expedition went all the way west to attack cities and fortresses. The places they reached were either attacked by force or captured. It lasted from July 28 of one year to May 28 of the fourth year of Ruian, when the army broke through the capital city of Dawan.
Teacher City, the Western Expedition has come to a successful conclusion!"
"I took it upon myself to make the decision to erect an immortal monument and inscribe it with the characters "Ten" and "Nine Thousand Miles to the West", which is the territory of the Great Dragon, to commemorate the heroes of the 70,000 Great Dragons who marched to the west!"
"Erect two auxiliary monuments to warn future generations! Always remember the heroic feats of our ancestors in fighting off thieves and generously serving righteousness!"
"The Western Expedition began with the return of the troops to the DPRK on June 25, the fourth year of Ruian. As of today, during the Western Expedition, a total of more than 260,000 people were beheaded and more than 1.63 million people were captured!"
"The countries in the Western Regions are vigilant for violating our territory for no reason. This war will compensate me for the Great Dragon War. Six million taels of silver, 50,000 taels of gold, 300,000 war horses, 100,000 cattle and sheep, and 81 bloody horses.
To show your submission and surrender!"
"The former Silk Road Supervisor of Loulan and Gumo built a mansion for the Anxi Protectorate. Its size can station a hundred thousand troops. All the countries in the Western Regions put their national seals on the documents to show their submission!"
"The Thirty-Eight Kingdoms are dominated by the Protectorate of the Western Regions. Once the commander-in-chief gives an order, no one in the Thirty-Eight Kingdoms dares to disobey. Those who disobey the order will destroy the city and perish!"
"To this day, I appeal to Your Majesty and to the people of Limin to punish the thieves!"
"Long live the great dragon, long live your majesty!"
"November 22, the fourth year of Dalong Ruian!"
"Your Majesty Liu Mingzhi, please bow your head!"
As soon as the chief manager finished speaking, Chao Wenwu was amazed and started talking among themselves.
In particular, Lao Jiang was so excited that he trembled all over. Seeing that Young Master Liu was like the God of Wealth, he almost kowtowed three sticks of incense to Young Master Liu.
Come to think of it, even Mrs. Jiang has never been so excited about her pregnancy! Her mind was completely occupied by three hundred thousand war horses.
Dalong is not particularly short of money now, but it is lacking of strategic items such as war horses.
The Horse Administration spends a lot of money from the Ministry of Household Affairs every year, but the results of purchasing war horses are always unsatisfactory.
Having money to spend became the biggest difficulty for Ma Zhengsi. He wanted to buy high-quality war horses but no one sold them to Dalong.
The compensation of 300,000 war horses almost made Lao Jiang not withdraw from it!
Just now outside the palace gate, I deliberately exaggerated the amount of money spent by the treasury to put pressure on Young Master Liu, just to make excuses in advance to see the outcome of the battle.
As for how much it is exaggerated, well, the secret must not be revealed.
However, Mr. Liu kept his tone very strict and did not reveal a single word.
Now my whole heart is relieved.
Three hundred thousand, that's three hundred thousand.
Li Zheng looked happily at the Jinluan Palace below, which was as messy and noisy as a vegetable market. It was rare that he did not scold the civil and military officials. He waited until their excitement had passed before Li Zheng stood up from the throne.
"Ministry of Etiquette!"
"I'm here!"
"I will copy the contents of the memorial word for word and post it in ten thousand copies in all the capitals of Dalong. I want to celebrate the recovery of the Western Regions with all the people!"
"I obey the decree!"
"Bingbu, Hubu!"
"I'm here!"
"You don't need me to tell you exactly how to do it, right?"
"I understand!"
"Official staff!"
"I'm here!"
"Prepare the decree!"
"Your Majesty, please issue an order!"
"Song Qing, the deputy general of the Western Expedition, worked hard and made great achievements. He was promoted to Anyuanhou for many times, and was promoted to General Yunhui. He was the commander of the imperial guards and the commander of the imperial guards. He was rewarded with one hundred taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, and a unicorn robe.
Ten pearls!”
"Long Wuwei generals Cheng Kai and Zhou Baoyu were promoted to one level of nobility and one level of official rank. They were honored when they marched before the emperor. They were rewarded with thousands of taels of silver and a pair of jade bis!"
"The four generals Duan Buren, Ye Baotong, Feng Buer, and Ning Chao were given the title of Baron Ding'an, Guyuan, Pinglou, and Cheng'an. They were promoted to one rank and given a mansion! Each will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver and ten pieces of silk!"
"Han Peng, the commander of the cavalry, and Jiang Lei, have been promoted to one rank and one rank, and will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver and a pair of jade bis!"
""
"Du Yu was promoted to the rank of Baron Tian Wei, and was given a mansion and a thousand taels of silver!"
"The merits of the officers and men of the Western Expedition will be planned by the Ministry of War, verified by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and rewarded by the Ministry of Personnel!"
"Your Majesty Du Chenghao obeys the order!"
Du Chenghao, the Minister of Civil Affairs, looked at his son excitedly. He was knighted. The most incompetent son turned out to be the first among several sons to be knighted. Du Chenghao couldn't be happy even if he was not happy!
The other ministers looked at their sons and sighed helplessly. Although they had all been promoted, they were far behind those who had been promoted.
They had no choice. Based on their understanding of Young Master Liu, they would definitely not deliberately suppress their son. Du Yu must be better than Sun Mingfeng and others in order to be promoted to the noble class.
Li Zheng looked curiously at Du Yu, who was grinning happily below: "Du Yu loves you!"
"Your Majesty, Du Yu, is here to see you!"
"No need to be polite! Let me see your ability to forge seals someday!"
"I know that I am guilty. I am young and ignorant. Please forgive me for my sin! From now on, I will never dare to forge seals privately again!"
"Your Majesty, all veterans are incompetent in teaching their children. I must discipline them well after I return home!"
Du Chenghao didn't know how the emperor knew that his son liked to forge seals, so he hurriedly stood up and asked for mercy!
"Hey, don't be afraid. There are people who carve seals among the people. It doesn't mean anything if you like things, but be sure not to use these little tricks in inappropriate ways!"
