Chapter 71: Falling from the Altar

The dog took the opportunity to sit down and listen with his ears raised.

After a while, the gentleman came back.

I saw him holding up "Internal Reference", his eyebrows moved, and suddenly recited a poem to the students:

"Suddenly there was a message outside the sword that Jibei was being collected. When I first heard about it, my clothes were filled with tears.

But seeing where his wife is worried, she writes poems and books filled with joy and joy.

To sing during the day, you need to indulge in alcohol, and to have youth as a companion makes it easy for you to return home.

That is, from Ba Gorge through Wu Gorge, then go down to Xiangyang towards Luoyang."

"You are still young, but your fathers are all in the army, fighting in the north, and you also hate the slaves very much."

The gentleman was in tears, wiping his eyes with his wide sleeves: "Although I am living in Nanjing, I am from the north, and my hatred of the slaves is no less than yours."

As he spoke, he rambled on about past events at home. Seeing that the students were still confused, he suddenly said:

"Relying on your Majesty's merits, the imperial court has won a great victory. Jiannu was defeated for five hundred miles and lost tens of thousands of troops. He dared not drink his horse and was unable to dismount."

"In other words, your father and relatives will come back soon."

"It's a holiday today, you go home and report the good news..."

Immediately, the class ended with repeated repetitions of "Jiannu can win" and "Jiannu can win".

"Long live--"

The students cheered, picked up their schoolbags, and left eagerly.

Jia Daihua was no exception. He was spared a beating and could take an early vacation. Especially thinking that his father would buy delicious food when he returned home, he couldn't help but salivate.

"Gouzi, let's go!"

"Here we come!" Jia Daihua responded hurriedly.

The Jing camp, as well as the soldiers who followed from the Huguang old camp, basically settled in Nanjing.

Renting or buying a house, with a high salary, supporting a family is not a problem even in Nanjing.

In order to better win over the military's morale and maintain long-term loyalty, Zhu Yixi launched the Emperor's Favor Plan.

One of them was to order the construction of a large number of military academies.

That is, recruiting military children to read and write for free, setting up a ten-year school system, studying and practicing martial arts from an early age, and shaping the second generation of military personnel who are both civil and military.

In addition, there is a large supply of low-rent housing, affordable food stores and a complete set of facilities, which are well-intentioned.

However, all of this requires the consumption of merit points on the military card.

Considering the frequency of wars and the large number of merit points issued, in order to avoid the devaluation of merit points, they can only use them as soon as possible.

For the court, it can also save a lot of land resources.

For example, with only ten points of merit, Gouzi can complete the military academy for free without spending a penny.

With a little merit, you can live in a low-rent house for a year.

When Gouzi, who was nine years old, came home, he saw his sister playing in the mud in the yard.

He immediately hugged her and returned home.

"Brother!" His two-year-old sister clapped her hands happily, mud covering his face.

"Gouzi, why are you out of school?"

The old woman held the fire stick and was furious.

"Mom, sir, you're on vacation early."

Gouzi put down his schoolbag and said tremblingly: "It is said that the emperor won the battle, and dad will be back early, so he took a vacation as soon as he was happy."

"Mom, your father is coming back with money again!"

The old woman shouted, threw down the fire stick, and ran out without even taking off her apron: "I have already taken a fancy to the cloth, and I will buy it back today."

There are four households in the large courtyard, with two floors and five or six rooms, forming a large courtyard. It is spacious, bright and sturdy. It only takes one merit point a year. Jia Yan couldn't resist the temptation and moved here.

As for the old house I bought at home, if I rent it to others, I can get ten taels of silver every year, which is a great deal.

Moreover, as long as you serve as a soldier for fifteen years, you will receive a free house. Who can resist this?

Military families lived together, and when news of the army's victory came, firecrackers sounded in the courtyard, and children clapped and jumped.

Gu Mi

My sister was also drooling, lying on the window and blinking her big eyes and watching non-stop.

It was rare for Gouzi to catch up with the celebration, so he stole two cents from his father's private money and bought a candied haws of sugar to chew on.

The brother and sister were smiling happily, and it felt like they were celebrating the New Year.

"Oh, if we win this battle, the emperor will probably give us a lot of money!"

"The slave builders are very ferocious, and they will definitely get a lot of things."

"It's a pity that pigs can't be raised in the courtyard, otherwise I really want to have a little cub to raise..."

"Suzhou's floral fabrics are beautiful, I'll give them to your daughter..."

There was endless discussion in the courtyard. When I came home, my hands were full of things.

Gouzi helped diligently and received a comic book of the Three Kingdoms.

"You have to be careful, this book can get twenty cents, and it will be passed on to your sister in the future!"

My mother felt distressed.

"I see."

But at this time, my mother discovered the candied haws of water and was furious: "Okay, you little brat is spending money randomly. This is your father's hard-earned money!"

"Mom, the few feet of cloth you just pulled is worth half of dad's salary."

The dog curled his lips.

"Bah, you are heartless. I just want to make new clothes for you and your sister..."

With her hands on her hips, the more she spoke, the more confident she became: "It's your mother's turn to wait until there are some leftover -"

There are 60,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp, as well as the cavalry battalion in Jiangbei and other old Huguang camps, and their family members exceed 100,000.

Living together together not only filled up the population of Nanjing, but also had a huge impact.

The aftermath of this victory has not yet dissipated.

Thousands of miles of Yangtze River waves hit the waves, and along with this southern artery, the victory of this founding battle also spread to the southern provinces.

It is no exaggeration to say that after this battle, the rumor that the Manchus were invincible was truly broken.

For decades, the fear of the Eight Banners has also disappeared.

The Eight Banners finally fell off the altar.

Henan, Xinyang Prefecture.

The Red Lady is stationed here to recuperate.

In fact, except for the previous battle in Luoyang, the Red Lady took the villagers and soldiers to rest and recuperate here.

After all, Li Yan's family was large, and there were still some scholars, so the food dilemma was gradually overcome.

Originally, it was okay for days like this to continue. Peace is rare in troubled times.

However, as the news of King Yu's accession to the throne came, people were excited and wanted to go to Nanjing to persuade them to join the army.

But the red lady refused. She never cared about fame and fortune.

Naturally, the emperor did not think of him. She was still a guerrilla general and was forgotten in Xinyang.

The Li family thought wholeheartedly about being obedient people and honoring their ancestors. They constantly persuaded the Red Lady to surrender completely and was adapted by Nanjing.

Relying on her prestige in the army, the Red Lady maintained her idea.

In her opinion, the army is the foundation for a stable life. This is what happened when Li Yan was killed. She will never hand over the army to others.

However, as the news came that the emperor was destroying slaves, the Li family really couldn't sit still:

"Red lady, red guerrillas, red generals, the Ming Dynasty will be revived soon, what's the use of controlling the army anymore?"

"The Qing Dynasty is still hanging on, and the grasshoppers after autumn can only hop around for a few days."

"By the time the emperor settles the accounts in autumn, it will be too late for us to regret it."

The Li family gathered together and went into battle one after another, constantly persuading.

The red lady hugged her breasts and looked hesitant.

The officers on the side looked greatly moved.
