Chapter 377 Military merit promotion
The morning in Luoyang was a little cold, but for Hou Xuanyan, who was used to military life and raiding north and south, he slept particularly sweetly.
The first ray of sunlight shone through the gauze window into the curtains hanging around the gauze tents, and the brocade lies warmly, and the fragrance of beasts lingered.
Chen Yuanyuan looked at the handsome young man sleeping in front of her with a side face. The sun shone brightly and everything appeared. It turned out that he was not a demon with a flesh-faced face. He was like a scholar when he was quiet. Just like one of the countless scholars who admired and pursued her on the Qinhuai River back then.
In Hou Xuan's dream, there is still a golden sword and iron horse. After so many years, there has been almost no one safe month. Now that the Northern Expedition has been successful, no one can understand his mood.
Not sure what he dreamed of, Hou Xuanyan opened his eyes, sat up straight, and groped his sword to his side.
With a "moan", Hou Xuanyan saw in a blink of an eye and pinched himself on the heavy round and soft flesh. The outline of the woman's chest has always been large when lying down, and it looks flat when lying down. It is really rare to have such a scale when lying down like this.
Hou Xuanyan's drunkenness dissipated, and he thought of the madness last night, and felt a little regretful. But he would not give too much pity to a traitor woman. He increased his strength and said with a fright, "You are Wu Sangui's woman. Although you can't help it, you have not benefited from the wealth obtained by the traitor selling the country. Now I miss you a little bit, so I stay by my side to play with you. You must serve me well to atone for your guilt. You dare to rely on your identity and be scammers and trick you, and you will not be spared."
Chen Yuanyuan's slightly accumulated favorable feelings disappeared, and she thought he was so cruel after being drunk, but she didn't expect that the scholar would be such a devil in his appearance.
"Nu Nu understands." Chen Yuanyuan said, struggling to get up to serve Hou Xuanyan to wash up.
Hou Xuanyan didn't feel any disgusted to her, but she just hated the house and the black ones. She would no longer torture her if she scared her a little. He was not a cruel person, so he pressed the quilt and said, "Forget it today, you have to rest for a day." Chen Yuanyuan was slightly surprised and looked at him in confusion. She had just been destroyed and her body was wrapped in that little heart, and she couldn't understand how this devil would treat her.
After Hou Xuan finished speaking, he got up, put on his clothes, washed his face briefly, used a square scarf to put his hair together, and walked out with a sword.
After leaving the inner courtyard, Qin He stepped forward and said, "The commander-in-chief, the people from Qianxiang Camp have been waiting outside for a long time."
When Hou Xuanyan heard that someone from Qianxiang Camp came, he knew that something must be important. He was slightly angry and scolded: "Why didn't you call me earlier?"
"Hehe, I know that the commander-in-chief has worked hard, and I can't bear it..."
"Stop farting. In the future, as long as the people from Qianxiang Camp come to see me, I will notify me any time." As soon as the Northern Expedition was successful, his personal soldiers showed slackness, and Hou Xuanyan was very dissatisfied.
Qin He looked embarrassed and bent down and said yes. It was not that he didn't want to inform Hou Xuanyan last night, but Hou Xuanyan was so drunk that he was not very good. Even if he screamed, it was difficult to deal with things.
While scolding him, Hou Xuanyan quickly walked to the lobby of the front hall. In addition to the generals of the Zhongzhen Camp, there was also a spy in black-clad clothes and black armor. After seeing Hou Xuanyan, he immediately stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Duke."
After Hou Xuanyan sat down, he asked, "What's the matter?"
"The Liehuo Camp divided its troops to attack the capital. Now only the three guards in Tianjin are left. Among the 60,000 Mongolian soldiers from Nikan are still resisting. General Li asked the Duke to tell him what to do?"
Hou Xuanyan's eyes lit up, his fingers pounded the table rhythmically, and he thought in his mind. Mongolia sent 100,000 people into the pass. This is the strongest man and the most elite army on the entire grassland. If these people are left in Tianjin forever, wouldn't the entire grassland be the same as his own backyard? The nine borders of Shaanxi and Gansu are still worried about foreign races invading the border. For at least ten years, only we will be the only one who will be the one who will be able to invade the south.
A small person is not a gentleman, but a virgin is not a husband. Hou Xuanyan said in a deep voice: "Tell Li Haoxian that no one of the 60,000 Tartar soldiers in Tianjin cannot be let go. He surrounds Tianjin, wipes out all the defenders, and avenges the tens of thousands of brothers who died in the battle in Xuzhou."
The spy turned around and left. Hou Xuanyan was in a better mood and asked, "The county governments around Luoyang have almost received it, right?"
Yuan Zongdi bowed and said, "After the Qing army withdrew, the people here cooperated and were waiting for the dispatch of officials from Jinling."
Hou Xuanyan frowned. The victory came too suddenly and had not trained enough officials well. Local officials were not a joke, especially during the post-war reconstruction period, which was especially necessary for them to implement their policies. If they encounter such a confused official, it would be easy for the already fragile prefectures and counties that were already fragile after the war to recover for a long time.
After thinking for a long time, Hou Xuanyan finally decided to select meritorious soldiers from the Northern Expedition Army, concentrate them in one place for training, and then hurry to take office as county magistrate and prefect.
First of all, these people will strictly implement their policies, and secondly, it is also a commendation of their contributions. There will be various policies that will be implemented from counties in various places. Only these people are the best executors of their policies. Hou Xuanyan is confident that as long as his policies are implemented effectively, people's livelihood will soon recover.
Speaking of which, a good official does not necessarily depend on his cultural level. Some are well-read people, and after becoming officials, they become a disaster in the village. This is also the strongest blow to the eight-legged essays and then selecting the best officials. So far, the "eight-legged essays" has been in name only. After May Enke, although Hou Xuanyan was not in the court, his series of measures have changed the way the empire selected officials.
Just simply teach these soldiers and county magistrates and prefects what they need to do, and be familiar with the tasks and responsibilities of their official positions, and believe that many of them can be competent.
After fighting the Northern Expedition for so long, countless soldiers and soldiers have been successful, and the reward problem of these people has been solved.
After the news spread, all the battalions of the Northern Expedition Army were happy, and the lieutenant generals began to select those who were worthy of meritoriousness who comply with the regulations.
In the blink of an eye, November was almost stable in all parts of the north, and the county magistrates selected by the Northern Expedition Army were slowly getting on track.
At this time, the last battle of Tianjin Guards began. The initially formed Denglai Navy Division cooperated with the Fire Camp to almost flatten the city walls of Tianjin Three Guards. The Mongolian soldiers and Nikan trapped in it were not even seen by the enemy, and most of them were killed or injured.
Yao Yiyao, who had been promoted to the admiral of the navy, was testing various newly produced artillery at the Songjiang Arsenal under the city. Every time he fired a shell, he used a thousand-mile mirror to record his power and range.
In the bloody battle in Xuzhou, the only tiger general who made Hou Xuan feel tricky, Aisin Jueronikan and his 60,000 strong Mongolian men became experimental subjects.
