In addition to the invisible and intangible benefits of reputation, the Ming army also received tangible benefits from the Battle of Hetao, such as: 20,000 sets of cavalry equipment, war horses, grain, cattle and sheep, etc.
The Ming army only dispatched 10,000 cavalry, and the lost troops after the war were replenished, but they received benefits that were ten times greater than what they paid. Naturally, the Ming army made a lot of money.
For such a generous Qin Hao, the officials of the Ming Dynasty naturally liked him a lot. They were no longer as hostile as before. The relationship between Qin and Ming gradually broke the ice and gradually moved towards a friendly level.
As for Long Qie, he was not only the general of the Ming Dynasty, but also the cavalry commander of the Ming Dynasty this time. Not only did he participate in the Battle of Hetao, but he also accompanied the Qin army out of the fortress alone, and became one of the three hundred warriors who came back alive.
.
Everyone who comes back alive from the fortress is a hero, not to mention a senior general like Long Qie.
Long Qie not only became a national hero, but also participated in the signing of the treaty on behalf of the Ming Dynasty. Today, he is the pride of the entire Ming Dynasty.
This time Long Junsheng led his army back to Jizhou from Bingzhou. Regardless of emotions or reasons, Emperor Ming also had to hold a huge welcome ceremony to welcome his return with the highest classification.
Emperor Ming took the information from Sun Lingming. After reading it, he said with a smile on his face: "There are still ten days before General Long Qie returns. Dian Wei, please go and tell the Prime Minister immediately and ask him to organize a large-scale attack for General Long Qie."
Welcome ceremony."
"promise."
Dian Wei cupped his fists and responded, then turned around and left. Before leaving, he glared at Sun Lingming, but Sun Lingming glared back without any sign of weakness.
Dian Wei and Sun Lingming were both generals who were guarding Emperor Ming. However, Dian Wei was actually very dissatisfied with Sun Lingming, his younger partner, because Sun Lingming was clumsy, didn't understand the rules, and always made His Majesty Emperor Ming angry.
From Dian Wei's point of view, His Majesty Emperor Ming was busy with everything, and had a lot of things to deal with every day. As a result, he had to be distracted to worry about Sun Lingming.
When Dian Wei and Xu Ding were working together, they never let the great virtuous master worry about him, so Dian Wei felt that Sun Lingming was too ignorant, and he missed his old partner Xu Ding even more who had died in the battle.
Dian Wei was a tough guy with an upright personality who didn't know how to twist and turn. He always said what he thought. He clearly expressed his dissatisfaction to Emperor Ming and bluntly said that Sun Lingming was not suitable to be the right commander of the guard. It was a pity.
But Emperor Ming did not adopt his opinion.
Although Emperor Ming scolded Sun Lingming every day, and would even take action when he was really angry, this was because he valued and appreciated Sun Lingming's performance. After all, there were so many people in the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Ming was the busiest one, so why did she have to make things difficult for herself?
, just catch Sun Lingming and train him alone?
To be honest, Emperor Ming himself didn't know why he admired Sun Lingming alone. Maybe he didn't want to see Sun Lingming wasting his talent, or maybe it was Sun Lingming's miserable childhood experience that attracted his hidden mother.
In short, Emperor Ming really valued Sun Lingming, and most of them regarded him as an adopted son and raised him up.
After Dian Wei left, Sun Lingming handed over another letter. Emperor Ming took it and asked, "What is this?"
"This is the specific clause announced in the "Treaty of Qin and Yuan Jinyang". Your Majesty, this Qin Gong Qin Hao is really powerful. My old grandson... Well, although the last general does not read much, he also knows that there are no foreigners in northern Xinjiang.
An easy one to deal with.
All the foreign races in Northern Xinjiang are extremely difficult and cruel, and Yuanmeng is the strongest among them, but Qin Hao nearly destroyed the country in one battle and even signed such a humiliating and traitorous treaty."
Sun Lingming said a lot with excitement, but Emperor Ming didn't listen to a word. All her eyes were focused on the marriage on the third day of the treaty.
When he thought that Qin Hao was going to marry someone else, and she was a foreign woman, but he was still living outside, Emperor Ming felt very uncomfortable, and his expression became worse and worse.
Sun Lingming did not notice the change in Emperor Ming's mentality. He still kept talking to himself, and he became more and more enthusiastic.
"To be honest, apart from your majesty, I have never really admired anyone else in the world. Even Xiang Yu, who is recognized as the best in the world, is the same. But this Qin Hao, even the general admires him endlessly. This matter
Qin Hao really did a great job..."
Emperor Ming's personal female official was named Zixia, and she stood out among tens of thousands of other girls. Emperor Ming named her Zixia and made her his personal female official.
Zixia is a smart but considerate woman. She noticed something was wrong with Emperor Ming's face and thought that Emperor Ming was dissatisfied with the contents of the treaty.
Seeing that Sun Lingming kept praising Qin Hao, Zixia was afraid that he would make His Majesty angry again, so she gently tugged on Sun Lingming's clothes and reminded in a low voice: "General Sun, stop talking."
"Ah? Why?"
Sun Lingming didn't know why, but Emperor Ming raised his head with a gloomy look. His frosty expression made Sun Lingming jump. Your Majesty is about to get angry!
"Let him speak." Emperor Ming shouted.
Sun Lingming suddenly shuddered and stammered: "I, no, don't dare anymore, no more?"
"What are you afraid of?"
"Uh? I don't know."
Sun Lingming told the truth, he really didn't know what happened to him to make His Majesty angry again?
Emperor Ming put his eyes into his sword, glared at him fiercely, and said coldly: "General Sun Lingming, you rewarded your colleagues last time, but I haven't punished you yet, and there are still superiors... This time I will punish you for all your crimes.
I'll punish you..."
Sun Lingming was made of copper skin and iron bones, so hitting him with a military stick helped him practice external skills, and had no effect of punishment at all. As for other punishments, they were not very effective either.
Emperor Ming thought for a moment and said, "I will punish you by raising horses in a stable for a month."
Upon hearing this, Sun Lingming's eyes widened immediately: "Raising horses again?"
What Sun Lingming is most afraid of is raising horses. The war horses in his stables are all extremely valuable. They will not be able to run if they eat too much and gain weight. If they eat too little, they will have no energy and cannot run.
In addition, cleaning up horse manure, bathing horses and many other trivial tasks made Sun Lingming extremely bored. He would rather have fifty military sticks every day for a month than raise horses for a month.
It was obviously not the first time that Sun Lingming had been punished to raise horses, and it was precisely because he was often punished by Emperor Ming to raise horses that the army officers laughed at him as "Bima Wen".
When Sun Lingming thought that he would have to stay in the stable for two months, he felt that he was going crazy, so he begged for mercy with a grimace: "Your Majesty, I really know that I was wrong. Can you punish me in another way? As long as I don't raise horses.
