Although Zhang Yan gave birth to a princess, with Qin Huan's edict to the world, the people all over the world spontaneously celebrated, and the army on the campaign also celebrated one after another. The congratulatory watches played everywhere were one after another and flew to Nanjing.
The good news came one after another. First, after the 100000 troops of the first Corps arrived in Guangxi, Liu Wenxiu could no longer stop it. Finally, he fled to Jiaozhi with more than 10000 disabled soldiers and defeated generals. Sun was expected to be besieged in Guangzhou and had to surrender.
The overall situation in Sichuan has also been determined. The eight kings died in Chengdu. Seeing that the situation is gone, Li Guo and Alan Qi all surrendered one after another, leaving only Yunnan in the whole south.
Duke Mu not only refused to surrender, but also established the king of Guangxi as the emperor. Obviously, he wanted to fight to the end by relying on the high mountains and dangerous land in Yunnan, but everyone knew that he was just surviving.
Qin Huan didn't immediately order to attack Yunnan. Instead, he sent messengers to persuade them to surrender and let all the armies stabilize the situation first. All the officers above the junior general returned to Beijing to report on their work, just in time to attend the princess's hundred day banquet.
The North has also been calmed down. Hundreds of thousands of troops of the second corps are all stationed near Beijing. In the southern Mongolia, except the Horqin tribe in the northeast, all other departments have been surrendered, leaving only the later governance.
It's not that the red warbler doesn't want to send troops to the Northeast immediately, flatten Houjin's nest and expedition to Horqin, but that the soldiers wear summer uniforms and are about to enter winter, so they have to wait for the cotton clothes to arrive and send troops again in the spring of next year.
After returning to Shengjing with more than 20000 eight flag warriors, Haug couldn't wait to inherit the Khan position of Huang Taiji.
Not only did he not dare to be emperor again, but he also changed the imperial palace into a royal palace, and all the princes were demoted. He also sent messengers to Beijing to express his willingness to submit to the Qin Dynasty as a vassal state, but Hong Ying hurried back without even seeing the face of the messengers.
At this time, in the palace hall, the red warbler sat on the Dragon chair, which made Lu Xiangsheng frown. He wanted to speak several times, but he finally endured it. Qin Huan didn't care what he was thinking.
Except Wu Sangui, other generals are used to it. After all, when Qin Huan was not in the palace, the two empresses often sat on the Dragon chairs. It is well known, so they are not surprised.
But if you let them sit on it, you will never dare.
"Your Majesty has ordered that all major general and above officers should follow me back to Beijing to report on their work. It will take at least two or three months to go back and forth, so all departments should be properly arranged and there should be no mistakes!"
"Madam, the more than 20000 Mongolian soldiers are always shouting to go back. They are afraid of unrest for a long time. Please decide what to do!"
Cao Bianjiao stood up and hugged boxing.
"Well, it's time to let them go back." The red warbler nodded and looked at Lu Xiangsheng again. "Lao Lu, don't you really go back with us?"
"Now the overall situation has been decided. My only wish is to be a idle cloud and wild crane, and I hope my mother can complete it!"
Lu Xiangsheng bowed and hugged the fist. Obviously, he still had some resistance to work for Qin Huan.
"Alas, it's a pity. Originally, with your credit this time, my imperial concubine also planned to recommend you to your majesty for the post of general of Peking University. Next year, she will lead troops to recruit Horqin department, and then wave troops to Mobei. She will not only insert my Han flag into the wolf juxu mountain again, but also into the North Sea. Since you don't want to, I won't force it, so I have to choose another one."
The red warbler sighed, said leisurely, and then looked at dozens of generals in the hall.
"Empress, I will fight at the end! I am willing to take on this great task, even if I bury my bones in a foreign land and die in Mobei! "
"Mother..."
Wu Sangui jumped out first, knelt down on one knee and said excitedly, then Cao Bianjiao, Qin Meng and Qin Yong. Finally, everyone knelt down and stared at the red warbler.
Obviously, no one can resist this temptation, especially Wu Sangui, who is also branded as a traitor, is more urgent than anyone to march north to Mobei.
Lu Xiangsheng was also moved and twitched.
No way. Since Huo Qubing led the Great Han cavalry to attack and defeat the Huns for more than 2000 Li, captured Shan Yu alive, granted wolf juxu and worshipped the champion Hou, he has become the supreme goal pursued by the Han generals of all dynasties. Except Huo Qubing, no one has this honor to be the champion Hou.
Now the red warbler says he wants to choose a man to lead the army and fight all the way to the North Sea. The credit even surpasses the champion Hou. How can we not be excited?
Han generals have not been afraid of war or expeditions since ancient times. No bitter and cold place or northern desert can stop them from making great achievements and raising the aspirations of famous generals through the ages. It is just that the emperor Confucian scholars don't give them a chance.
The red warbler ignored the crowd, but stared at Lu Xiangsheng and waited for his response. If Qin Huan had not told her that conquering Mobei Mongolia was only the first step, where would they get such a good thing?
"Minister, Lu Xiangsheng, meet the imperial concubine! Mother, thousand years, thousand years, thousand years! "
Lu Xiangsheng's old face turned red. Finally, he gritted his teeth, lifted his robe, knelt down and worshipped. Obviously, he still couldn't resist it after all.
"Good! Lu Aiqing, please get up! " The red warbler was overjoyed. She came near and helped him up in person.
During this period of contact, she also saw the difference between Lu Xiangsheng and other officials in the Ming Dynasty. He was not only talented, but also honest, upright, never flattering, and his conduct was very rare. He was a rare handsome talent, so she really didn't want him to retire to the mountains and forests.
As for loyalty, she was not worried. Lu Xiangsheng chose obedience, which meant that he became a minister of the Qin Dynasty. With his character, he would never betray.
"Thank you!"
Lu Xiangsheng's tone was obviously more respectful than before, and he took a step back.
The generals had to get up with a disappointed face. Wu Sangui was like an eggplant beaten with frost.
"Lu Aiqing, from today on, you will be the general of the state of Qin. This time you and Bian Jiao don't have to go back to Beijing. Tomorrow, you will lead 20000 Mongolian cavalry and 5000 guanning iron cavalry back to Hetao. What should you do? Come to the imperial study after the meeting. Let's talk in detail!"
"Yes!"
Both of them held fists together.
"Empress, I will not accept it!"
Wu Sangui was in a hurry. Not only did he not get the general of the northern expedition, but now he had to divide his 5000 cavalry. In a hurry, he was much bolder and said directly to his neck.
"Bold!"
"Presumptuous!"
Naturally, this provoked many generals to look angrily. The grumpy even took out a section of the knife. Cao Bianjiao even stared at the tiger. It seemed that as long as the red warbler nodded a little, he rushed up to catch Wu Sangui, and among the many generals, Cao Bianjiao beat Wu Sangui.
"Good!"
The red warbler waved her hand carelessly to show that the people were at ease. Then she looked at Wu Sangui and said, "the imperial concubine convinced you. Although you have obeyed me Daqin, your concept still stays with the generals of the Ming Dynasty. Look at the generals here. Who else has a servant?
Those Guan Ning iron cavalry, from the moment you surrender, are not your private soldiers, but my iron cavalry of Daqin. Do you understand? "
"The end will understand. Go back and dissolve the servant immediately!" Wu Sangui replied with his head down.
"I hope you can really understand and change as soon as possible, otherwise it is very dangerous to go on like this."
The red warbler nodded, regardless of whether he really understood it or not, glanced at the crowd and said, "although you can't see everyone this time, you don't have to lose heart. In addition to Mobei Mongolia, there are also Moxi Mongolia, western countries, Japanese and Japanese countries, and countless countries in the West. The world is far bigger than you know, and there are countless enemies in Daqin, In the future, we must fight and educate one by one, so everyone here has the opportunity to open up new territories and keep their names in history!
