Chapter 1105: Iwu Celebration Feast - Begin to Reward
"I've seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" The sound of the mountain roaring and the tsunami came towards Yun Xi.
"Everyone, love Qing Ping!" Yun Xi said with a smile. The attendant beside him hurriedly repeated it aloud.
When everyone stood up, Yun Xi had already walked to the high position, turned to them and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today I am holding a celebration banquet here to celebrate the defeat of the Ming Dynasty over Samarkand, and even the total annihilation of the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition of the country, and the lord of the country, Timur, was also defeated and captured, and then died of illness soon after. ”
"Samarkand is by no means a small country, it is a big country in the Western Regions, conquering the east and the west for thousands of miles, and the lord of its country, Timur, is also a famous tyrant in the region."
"I thought that this battle would drag on for a long time, and it would take from this year to next year to decide the winner; But the soldiers gave me a big surprise. From the beginning of June, the battle has been decided, and on the tenth day of August, the troops of Samarkand's Eastern Expedition were completely annihilated, and it was only two months before and after. ”
"Even if the time of the war began in May when his country besieged the city of Yiwu, it was only three months before and after, and the more than 600,000 troops recruited by Timur and more than 100,000 soldiers recruited from the east of the Alashan Pass, totaling more than 700,000 troops, were wiped out."
"I have gone through the history books of all dynasties, and there is no precedent for this; Even the Battle of Weishui only defeated the former Qin soldiers, not completely annihilated. I also inquired about foreign history, and sent people to inquire about the captives of the Western countries, and they all said that there was no precedent for this. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have waited for this battle to be unprecedented, at least in three hundred years, there will be no one to come, even if the historians of later generations are stingy with pen and ink, they will also describe this battle in the history books, and most of the generals here can leave their names in the history books!"
"Long live Your Majesty!" Most of the people present shouted excitedly.
It's not easy to leave a name in the ancient history books. In addition to the fact that the history books of all dynasties must have a list of princes and heroes of the royal family, so that all princes and nobles can leave their names, if the general minister is not involved in any earth-shattering events, even if he is a high-ranking official of the third grade, he may not be able to leave a name in the history books.
And the vast majority of people who leave their names in the history books are just a name and a line of introduction. Chen to Chen Shuzhi, who is well-known to many people because of the Three Kingdoms game, as the commander of Liu Bei's personal escort troops, only has twenty or thirty words in "Three Kingdoms", which is still attached to the back of "The Biography of Zhao Yun", and Zhao Yun himself does not have a separate biography, his biography is merged with Guan Zhang Ma Huang into one; Xu Huizu in history only attached more than 100 words to the "Biography of Xu Da in the History of the Ming Dynasty", and Xu Da, as a very important founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, did not even have his own biography, and merged it with Chang Yuchun.
It is so difficult to leave a trace in the history books, how can the generals present not be excited to hear that they can leave their names in the history books?
Yun Xi waited for them to be excited, and continued: "Before I set out on the expedition, I said that I would hold a celebration banquet to reward the soldiers who have made great achievements; And because this battle is so smooth, and your Aiqing's contribution is so great, I have to add to the original reward and reward you Aiqing! ”
Everyone immediately shouted "Long live Your Majesty" again.
"But before the official start of the celebration banquet, I hope that Aiqing present will think about those soldiers who stained the battlefield for the blood of the Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers who were physically disabled or seriously injured and dying for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. A stick of incense was observed in silence for them. Yun Xi suddenly began to mourn in silence again.
Fortunately, although most of the people present this time had not seen it with their own eyes, they had all heard of the situation at the Annan celebration banquet, and they were busy imitating His Majesty's actions.
After a stick of incense, Yun Xi raised his head and said, "In addition to mourning for them and giving them first- and second-class medals, I have also decided that all the soldiers who died in this battle will be rewarded with an additional ox for their descendants; Soldiers who are seriously wounded and disabled are to be given a sheep each. ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!" The crowd shouted again. Even if the price of goods is very low at this time, a cow costs dozens of dollars, and a sheep is not cheap, which is a high reward for ordinary soldiers.
But it's nothing to Yoon-hee. He captured four or five hundred thousand cattle and five or six hundred thousand sheep from the army of Samarkand in this battle, and at this time, the railroad carriage had been laid to the Star Gorge and it was more convenient to transport it back to the Central Plains, and he could not spend a few dollars.
After a long while, the sound stopped, and Yun Xi said with a smile, just like last year in Hanoi, "I have already rewarded all the soldiers who died in battle, were seriously injured and disabled, and then it is time to reward all the meritorious soldiers. ”
Yun Xi took a step back and sat down in his chair and waved his hand. A guard stepped forward, raised the holy decree in his hand and shouted, "Song Sheng, Qin Sen stepped forward to listen to the seal." ”
"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said that Song Sheng, the left minister of the Qin domain, led the soldiers to guard the city of Yiwu, and held on for a month without being captured by Samarkand; Later, he led the troops in the Yiwu Basin with the rank of deputy general to fight with the soldiers of Samarkand,......, and made great contributions, and was crowned the Marquis of Yiwu, hereditary replacement, rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, and a hundred horses of silk and satin. ”
"......, the commander of the Yongming Left Guard of the Yongfan made Qin Sen, lead the soldiers of the department to hold the camp to repel the soldiers of Samarkand, and then broke the formation of his troops and annihilated a whole part, which made great contributions.
"Song Xuan, the commander of the right guard of the government army, blocked the retreat of the soldiers of Samarkand,......, added the marquis of Jing'an, the hereditary commander, and rewarded him with a hundred horses of silk and a python robe; The commander of the Yiwu Left Guard, Song Hu, ,......, hereditary commander, rewarded a blood coral and a flying fish suit. Therefore, both of them were the sons of Song Sheng, the left minister of the Qin Domain, and Song Sheng was the commander on their behalf. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Song Sheng and Qin Sen said at the same time.
Song Sheng knelt on the ground and was excited. He originally thought that it would be almost enough to be crowned a hereditary earl, but he didn't expect to be able to add a hereditary marquis! And his eldest son also has to be named the marquis, even if the marquis is also the marquis, their family has two titles at once, and they are about to enter the top honors of the Ming Dynasty.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Song Sheng couldn't help but say it again.
The atmosphere at the scene also became very warm. This time, the reward is indeed very heavy, and the Song family has to be crowned two marquis at once! Everyone became excited, waiting to hear their reward, fantasizing that they would also receive an unexpected reward.
