Chapter 79： won the battle

Chapter 79 Victory

Everyone in the room hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Husband!" Seeing her husband appearing in front of her intact, Yun was extremely excited and her face was full of joy.

"Father!" Wei Yichen, Wei Qingwan and others surrounded Wei Mingting and looked at him carefully.

"Great victory! We beat those Japanese on the sea and fled! Now there is no one of their ships on the sea!" Wei Mingting said with a smile on his face.

He was busy with official duties on weekdays. When the preparations for this large-scale battle began, he never went home, and devoted himself to preparations, day and night, advancing and retreating with the soldiers.

Now that the war has been won, he rushed back to tell his family the good news as soon as possible, so that the family members who were worried about him could rest assured.

"Big victory? Really?" Yun was overjoyed.

Everyone in the room showed extremely happy expressions on their faces, and Wei Ruo was no exception.

At this moment, the dark clouds that had shrouded Xiaowei's Mansion for many days completely dissipated, and the moon was seen when the clouds were cleared!

Afterwards, everyone surrounded Wei Mingting and sat down in their seats.

The maid hurriedly brought tea and pastries.

Wei Mingting briefly talked to his children, and then let them go back first. It was getting late today, and Wei Mingting had just finished a bitter battle that lasted for several days and needed to rest.

Everyone left one after another.

Waiting until the next morning, Wei Yichen, Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan, and Wei Yilin came to Cangyun Garden early to wait.

Usually, breakfast at home is served separately, but today is different. Everyone wants to know more about this battle.

After waiting for a while, Cuiping came out and invited everyone into the house.

After entering the door, he saw Wei Mingting was up, dressed in plain clothes, refreshed.

Wei Mingting asked everyone to sit down and have breakfast together.

On the big round table in front of you, there are porridge, deep-fried dough sticks, pickles, and soup dumplings, all of which are common breakfasts for the people of Taizhou Prefecture.

After breakfast, the servants removed the leftovers from the table.

Everyone sat aside, Wei Mingting knew that the children came early in the morning because they were worried about themselves, and at the same time they wanted to know what happened in the past few days.

"I have to thank two people for this big victory." Wei Mingting, who had never talked much before, talked more today.

"Who is the husband talking about?" Yun asked hurriedly.

Everyone looked at him curiously.

"One is that young master, who is inseparable from the reinforcements sent by the court. This time, he also arranged a surprise attack. He circled out from Wangyue Mountain and hit the Japanese pirate army's abdomen directly, disrupting their formation."

Everyone knows this, so it's not surprising.

"What about the second one?" Yun asked.

"The second is something that we all didn't expect. A few days ago, the city recruited soldiers, and a small soldier was recruited and brought us a powerful weapon. This weapon is a slave but not an ordinary slave. Put ten arrows in it, after firing, just replace it with another one, the efficiency is quite high, and our firepower has been greatly improved after use.”

"Before the start of this battle, we gathered all the craftsmen in the city and rushed to make a large number of this machine crossbow overnight for use in the battle."

"This is the great fortune of my husband and the people of Xingshan County! What kind of skillful craftsman is that little soldier? He can make such a powerful weapon." Yun asked curiously.

"I've already asked him. He didn't make this weapon himself. He got it from an old master who traveled all over the rivers and lakes. But even so, it's all due to him. Moreover, this person won the battle in this battle. Among them, he performed outstandingly and was extremely brave. I plan to ask for his promotion to be the general banner (equivalent to a platoon leader) after this incident is over."

"This person was really sent by God to help my husband and the people of Xingshan County!" Yun said.

Wei Ruo listened from the side, knowing that the person Wei Mingting was talking about was Brother Xiaoyong, the smile on his face deepened.

Brother Xiaoyong is fine, and he has accumulated military merits, which is really great.

"Father, what about you?" Wei Yichen asked.

Father won the battle, will he also be promoted by the court?

"I'm not very clear about my affairs." Wei Mingting knew in his heart that his affairs depended on the attitude of the Seventh Highness.

His Royal Highness Seventh Prince and Young Master Lu both participated in this battle, and he knew the situation best. At that time, we will have to see how His Royal Highness will report to the court.

"Daddy is so brave, after reporting to the imperial court, they will definitely be promoted to Daddy's official position!" Wei Yilin couldn't help but said.

"Don't think about it for the time being. I can't decide whether I'm promoted or not. As long as this battle can be won, it will be the most gratifying thing for the people of Xingshan County to gain a moment of peace." Wei Mingting said.

Later Wei Mingting said that Wei Ruo didn't listen carefully to what Wei Mingting said, and she was only thinking about passing the good news to the nanny and Uncle Xu.

This chat lasted for nearly an hour, and then Yun let the children go back so that her husband could rest more.

Wei Ruo came out of the dining room and saw Wei Mingting's bodyguard Jing Hu, so he went over to ask him the name of the soldier that Wei Mingting praised today.

Jing Hu gave a clear answer: Xu Zhengyong.

After confirming that it was Brother Xiaoyong, Wei Ruo happily returned to Ting Song Yuan.

"Miss, why are you so happy?" Xiumei saw that Wei Ruo's walking pace was different, as if stepping on clouds, it must be something good.

"I want to write to the nanny to tell her about Brother Xiaoyong." Wei Ruo walked towards the house while talking.

"How is Brother Xiaoyong?" Xiumei hurriedly asked, her tone excited and curious.

Since Brother Xiaoyong joined the army, they haven't heard from Brother Xiaoyong.

"He has made military achievements."

"Really?" Xiumei beamed with joy, but after a while she put away her joyful expression, and said with a snort, "This brat, he has some skills! He is indeed my fellow apprentice!"

Turning around, he asked again, "Then when can Brother Xiaoyong go home?"

"It should be enough in a few days. It sounds like this battle has repelled all the Japanese pirates in Xingshan County. At least there will be a period of peace. If this is the case, soldiers should be arranged in batches in the barracks Going home to visit relatives." Wei Ruo said.

"That's good! Miss, let me find some supplements and put them on Brother Xiaoyong's back, okay?"

"Go, go, I have the same intention, you and I want to go together."

Xiumei turned around and ran briskly into the small warehouse.

###

After waiting for two days, Xu Zhengyong finally came back.

Nurse immediately sent a letter to Wei Ruo.

The two families are close to each other, and the pigeon flew to Wei Ruo's yard after a while.

After receiving the letter, Wei Ruo and Xiumei went out using the excuse they had prepared long ago.

Now that Nanny Zhang is Wei Ruo's own person, even if Wei Ruo runs around after going out, she will choose to turn a blind eye.

Entering the back yard from Sibaozhai, the nanny was talking to Xu Zhengyong with tears in her eyes.
