"After defeating the Liao army, I, the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, led his army into the northern grasslands to take over this territory!"
Hearing this, Yue Fei frowned slightly, this was not good news.
The northern grassland is too large, and the opponent is a cavalry. If you want to escape, no matter how elite the Daqian army is, they can't search everywhere in the vast grassland for thousands of miles, right?
Moreover, winter is approaching, and the cold winter weather in the north is really not suitable for a protracted war.
The plan to destroy the Jin Kingdom in one go seems to be impossible.
"I will bring back the credentials of your country. As for the decision of the Emperor of Daqian Kingdom, I will send an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin to discuss with the Emperor of your country!"
After learning that the main force of the Jin Kingdom had entered the northern grasslands, Lu Junyi also knew that there was no chance to continue the campaign for the time being, so he immediately accepted the official letter.
The Jin Kingdom warrior nodded, then walked out of the Commander's Mansion under the guidance of the guards, and hurriedly left Shangjing City.
In the next period of time, Lu Junyi sent people out to calm the people and appointed officials to govern the place. At the same time, he sent generals to clear out rebels and bandits in the Liao Kingdom. At the same time, he wrote books to report his victory to the capital of Daqian.
Half a month later, the imperial edict of Daqian Kingdom arrived, appointing Guan Sheng as the top general of Shangjing City, leaving 20,000 Daqian sergeants and 50,000 servants to garrison Shangjing City. The other generals and troops will return to the capital immediately!
In this late autumn season, Lu Junyi, Yue Fei, Lin Chong and others bid farewell to Guan Sheng and other left-behind generals, and led the remaining soldiers on the journey back to their homeland.
This is a long way, from Shangjing to the capital of Daqian, the journey is no less than a thousand miles!
But the road was also very close. After several months of continuous battles, the Liao army was basically completely wiped out and conquered. Liao cities in various places had surrendered and replaced them with the flag of Daqian. There were Han officials supplying food and grass along the way.
At this point, the Daliao Empire was completely destroyed, and the Daqian Kingdom, like a rising sun, began to shine with endless light in this eastern land.
The whole world is not the land of the king, and the shores of the land are not the king's subjects. Every place where the sun and moon shine is the territory of Daqian!
At this moment, Da Qianguo finally had the confidence to shout this declaration!
...
In the capital of Daqian, goose-feather-like snowflakes have begun to fall.
But at the city gate, Emperor Lin Nuo of Daqian stood there in a black and red imperial robe with a majestic expression.
Behind him, Xiu'er and Lin Fan, as well as the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, were all standing quietly on the street, waiting for the triumphant return of the Liao army!
The war horses neighed, swords and spears reflected the sun, and more than 100,000 troops were marching in mighty force. Lu Junyi and others saw the emperor riding in front of him from a distance. They hurriedly dismounted and all came forward to pay homage: "I will pay homage to your majesty! Your majesty will come out of the city to greet you. I'm so scared!"
Lin Nuo's originally majestic expression suddenly softened a lot. He walked forward quickly and shook hands with Lu Junyi, Yue Fei and other generals one by one. He even said loudly to the army behind him: "Gentlemen, thank you for your hard work!"
"For Da Gan! For His Majesty!"
"Daqan Mighty!"
"Long live your Majesty, long live, long live your Majesty!"
The roar of mountains and tsunamis resounded throughout the capital city, and more than 100,000 troops roared at the same time. The scene really shook the ground a little.
Carrying the great achievements of destroying the country, at this moment, the majesty of Lin Nuo, the Emperor of Daqian, reached the highest point in history!
What happened next did not need Lin Nuo's instructions. The Ministry of War had already set up a camp for the army outside the capital. After that, Lin Nuo ordered the slaughter of pigs and sheep, and gave fine wine to reward the three armies.
At the same time, the Ministry of Rites had already prepared a banquet in the palace, and Lin Nuo personally led the officials to welcome the generals.
At the banquet, there was no distinction between monarch and minister. Everyone exchanged cups and drank heavily all day long. It was not until the sky completely darkened that everyone returned to the mansion under the guidance of the guards.
The next morning, the joy of the victory had not dissipated, and all the officials were already waiting in the palace hall, waiting for the morning dynasty to begin.
Lin Nuo, dressed in imperial robes, sat on the dragon chair surrounded by the guards. After all the ministers shouted long live, the meeting officially began.
This court meeting was basically a reward meeting. Lu Junyi had already reported the battle report and the military exploits of the generals, captains, and sergeants before the squadron returned to the court.
Regarding how to award the reward, Lin Nuo discussed it with Zhu Wu and other officials for three days before finally deciding.
Sitting upright on the dragon chair, Lin Nuo looked calm and dignified. He looked around at the court officials and said loudly: "I have decided to grant Lu Junyi, the commander of the Liao army, the title of Duke; to give Yue Fei the title of Marquis of County."
The title of nobility is given to Guan Sheng, Qin Ming, and Hu Yanzhuo with the title of local marquis!"
As soon as the Emperor opened his mouth, he directly awarded a prince and the title of four marquises. Immediately, the civil and military officials in the court were filled with envy. They all vowed in their hearts that next time there is a national war, no matter what, they must participate.
If you cannot create a marquis, you can get the title of earl or viscount, which is also great!
In addition to these five tiger generals, Lin Nuo was awarded rewards according to the list that he had discussed with Zhu Wu and others in advance, according to the amount of military merit. However, except for a few of these latter people, they were awarded the position of major general.
In addition, at most he only received the rank of captain and was not awarded any further titles.
In response to this, all the officials could not help but feel relieved. Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor did not reward the knights lavishly, otherwise the knighthoods in the country would be worthless in the future.
After awarding all the people with meritorious deeds in war, Lin Nuo also awarded rewards to the various civil servants who supported the army in the rear, and promoted those who deserved promotions.
For a time, the entire court was filled with an emotion called joy.
Finally, after all the rewards were over, Lin Nuo set his sights on Lin Chong.
It’s time for my eldest brother to be crowned king!
Seeing the emperor's eyes on Lin Chong, all the officials immediately understood that the emperor's brother had finally made it to the throne.
As His Majesty's eldest brother, he will definitely be named a prince, but I don't know what kind of king His Majesty will name him?
"Brother, my Lin family and Liang Shanbo have risen and now have a huge territory. I canonize you as the King of Liang today. Do you feel satisfied?"
"Satisfied, I am naturally extremely satisfied with the title granted by His Majesty!"
Lin Chong was overjoyed. After enduring for so long, he finally reached the point where he was crowned king. This life was truly not in vain.
Think of him, Lin Chong. As the instructor of the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty, he had always lived a cautious and conscientious life with no ambitions or any goals. Today, he can get the title of prince. What else can he be dissatisfied with in this life?
