"You're finally back!" Zhao Xu rode a horse and ran to Tang Ning's side, Tang Ning saw that the person was Zhao Xu from a distance, so he hurriedly jumped off the horse again.

When Zhao Xu came close and said this, Tang Ning hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty personally came out to greet you, and Weichen was terrified." Today, the wind is cold, and I hope that Your Majesty will return to the palace as soon as possible, so as not to catch the wind and cold and hurt the dragon's body. ”

Zhao Xu pointed at Tang Ning and nodded: "You, there is really a lot of nonsense." ”

“……”

"But it's a good day, so I won't bother with you. Hurry up, on the way back to Tokyo, tell me what you did on this trip.

It's always not too enjoyable to read your battle report. Or if you say it in person, it's more pleasing to the ear. ”

"It's not too late for this Weichen to tell you when he returns to the palace......"

"There are still things to do after returning to the palace, do you think you won't have to do anything after you come back? Do you think I still have time to listen to you?

Not to mention that it will take me several days to reward the soldiers, and half a day to reward you. ”

"Oh, it's been a long time!" As soon as Tang Ning heard this, his eyes lit up. Rubbing his hands, he said, "I don't know what kind of gift Your Majesty has prepared for Weichen?" ”

Zhao Xu squinted at Tang Ning, and then laughed and said, "Don't worry! You brought me a big gift, and I naturally want to pay you back.

This time, the reward for you is guaranteed to satisfy you!

Well, this might be a surprise for you. ”

Zhao Xu didn't say that it was okay, but he was still secretive when he said this, which made Tang Ning a little nervous. He glanced at Zhao Xu and whispered, "Can you give me some hints?" ”

"Cheng, it has something to do with your hometown Runzhou, think for yourself!" After Zhao Xu finished smiling, he pointed to Tang Ning's jujube red horse and said, "Hurry up and get on the horse, and tell me about the interesting things about your trip first." ”

Along the way, Tang Ning told Zhao Xu how he used gunpowder to break the Jiaozhi army.

It's not that Tang Ning wants to talk about this topic, but he only has this topic to talk about. After all, in this operation, he really relied on sufficient logistics to consume the Jiaozhi army.

Including the war elephants of the Jiaozhi people, when Guo Kui dealt with them, he sent death squads to rush up and fight the war elephants hand-to-hand. After severing the trunk of the elephant with a sharp knife and axe, the elephant was frightened and fled towards the main camp of Cochin, which led to the victory.

This time, Tang Ning defeated the war elephant with a crossbow and a large amount of gunpowder, but there was not much loss in his troops.

Moreover, the Whirlwind artillery, which was modified from the Whirlwind cannon used by the Western Xia Poxi Army, also played a huge role in this war, and it was inflicted on the Jiaozhi army on the first day of its arrival at the front line

If it can continue to be improved, its effect is immeasurable.

The rest, as well as crossbows, grenades, etc., all played a significant role. So in the end, Tang Ning said seriously: "To sum up, Your Majesty. Wei Chen suggested that in the future, we should take the ordnance flow and use powerful ordnance to destroy the enemy on the way to attack.

That's the safest way to attack. ”

"What you say is indeed worth considering, but the manufacture of ordnance comes at a cost." Zhao Xu smiled and shook his head: "For example, this time, the gunpowder you used yourself must have more than 100,000 taels of silver, right?" That's a year's worth of tax revenue in a state. ”

Zhao Xu didn't finish the rest of the words, and Tang Ning naturally knew it in his heart.

The manufacture of ordnance requires a lot of cost accumulation, but the cost of soldiers is not high. A soldier only needs to take care of their food and pay them a salary that is better than nothing every quarter to comfort them.

Tang Ning rode a horse and walked in front with Zhao Xu, followed by a hundred civil and military officials who were also riding horses.

The enthusiastic palace maids gave the fruit basket in their hands to some helpless soldiers, Cheng Yang did not let them refuse, but in order to maintain order and the majesty of the army, Cheng Yang asked them to put away the fruit baskets they received, so as not to let these spring-hearted guys eat on the spot.

In many cases, the emperor summoned meritorious soldiers to Beijing to receive rewards, and the main reason was not that he wanted to see them in person, but that Tokyo City was the most prosperous city in the Great Song Kingdom, and there were everyone in it.

Envoys from other countries, people with bad intentions, merchants from all over the world, and so on, are everywhere in the city.

In this way, the emperor hoped to show them the strength of his army. And then from their mouths, they brought the strength of the Great Song Army to every corner of the world.

In fact, this is the same as the nature of military parades in various countries in later generations, not for the leaders to see, but to show the military strength of the people all over the world, and to tell those with ill intentions that if they want to move me, they will not have your good fruit to eat.

So when the well-dressed and majestic army entered the city of Tokyo. The forbidden army in front of the palace with halberds stood in two rows along the roadside, and when they saw the army coming in from the city gate, they dug the halberds in their hands twice, and shouted in unison: "Mighty! ”

The marching army also did not stop, hammered the chest twice with their fists, and shouted in unison: "Might! ”

The people watching the bustle on the roadside were extremely shocked, when had they ever seen such a scene before?

The last time Han Qi returned from defeat, he was greeted not by the word mighty, but by a woman who asked her if her son had returned.

It's also ironic, it's not the businessmen or the common people who like to cheer for the soldiers who fight abroad, but the prostitutes in the Qinglou.

The people were still in shock, but in a green building not far away, countless small heads with their own merits poked out, and they also shouted in unison as if they were holding halberds and forbidden troops.

The Zhenjiang army did not choose to ignore them, and also used the same way to deal with the halberd forbidden army, blowing his chest twice with his fist, and responding: "Mighty! ”

The people only reacted at this time, and a burst of enthusiastic cheers and applause suddenly came out of them.

After the first thousand cavalry entered the city, the next were the infantry.

It's just that there are a few particularly eye-catching existences in the infantry, that is, the cochin generals who are loaded in the sill car.

These people are all well-known people in Jiaozhi, but now they are in such an embarrassing situation. Of course, some people choose to surrender, and they don't show up here. Although the people who can appear here are embarrassed, it also proves that they are all good men with backbone.

Li Deqian will definitely not appear here, even if he calls himself an emperor, he is still an emperor. The rules of the Great Song Kingdom are like this, you can kill a foreign emperor, but you can't show disrespect to someone who has the title of emperor.

Otherwise, it is easy for people with a heart to push the boat down the river and say that you are also disrespectful to your own emperor.

At that time, it was really impossible to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.

But some people didn't care about it, Su Song sat in a carriage, looked at Li Deqian, who was very haggard in front of him, and just sneered.

Along the way, he made him suffer a lot of torture openly and secretly, such as pricking the acupuncture points where he would feel severe pain with silver needles, and making him drink the laxatives he carefully prepared in the name of healing.

But even after doing this all over again, Su Song still didn't have much pleasure in his heart. All he had was a tidal wave of emptiness, because even if he did, he wouldn't be able to get his cousin and his cousin's family back.

Tang Ning said something very profound before, he said that all the things in this world, all the hatred, are made up by people who are full of food and have nothing to do.

If everyone is hungry and eats the last meal every day, who still has the heart to fight, who still has the heart to cause trouble everywhere?

Su Song felt that these words were very reasonable, but he always felt that these words were a little weird. If he was asked to say something strange, he couldn't say it, so he had to give up in the end.

Thinking back on these words now, Su Song felt that his behavior was too naïve.

My cousin is dead, and no matter what I do, I can't bring him back to life. And this time, I went to Lingnan by myself, and it was because of luck that I got out.

Otherwise, wouldn't your family have to be sad for a long time?

really responded to that sentence, when is the time to repay the wronged, you have to forgive people and spare people......
