After Zhao Lie stayed with Alexandra in the mansion for a few days, he had to leave home and go to Dengzhou because Zhang Keda, the commander-in-chief of Denglai, led more than 8,000 troops to return.
At this time, it was the end of July in the third year of Chongzhen.
Sanbeile Amin, the slave of Jiancheng, had been driven away.
Under the supervision of Sun Chengzong, Ma Shilong and Zu Dashou led the troops to recapture Qian'an, Luanzhou and other four cities after fierce fighting, and beheaded them.
He made hundreds of real slaves.
Of course, most of them were dominated by blue flags.
The chaos in the capital that lasted for more than half a year finally ended, leaving the Ming Dynasty with a messy land of Hebei and millions of refugees waiting for food.
Now that there are no more foreign enemies to harass them, the reinforcements from various places will of course return to their hometowns.
The imperial court is also eager for them to return as soon as possible and continue to support them from various places.
The capital can no longer afford to support them.
At the beginning of noon on this day, Sun Yuanhua, Zhang Tao, Wang Qian, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, as well as the generals of the Dusi and the Guards Corps gathered in the water city of Dengzhou.
Hundreds of sea ships covered the sea outside Dengzhou, and the Denglai army was arriving one after another.
Ashore, the commander-in-chief Zhang Keda arrived.
Hundreds of ships and soldiers constantly coming ashore give people a sense of coercion.
This is the power of the military.
"Zhang Keda, the commander-in-chief of Denglai, pays homage to the governor."
Zhang Keda led his generals to board the dock and immediately prostrated themselves to the ground when they saw Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai.
When he left, he was Wang Tingshi, but when he came back, his immediate boss was Sun Yuanhua.
It can be said that things have changed.
"General Zhang, there is no need to be polite."
Sun Yuanhua hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
If it were in the past, when you, a second-grade military general, paid homage to the governor who controlled you, you should kneel down and bow down.
However, Zhang Keda's great victory in Zhuozhou made the Denglai Army famous.
It was the time when the Holy Family was in great power, but Sun Yuanhua did not dare to rely on him.
"Sir Bingsun, this time Denglai's army, King Qin of Jingki, has defeated Jiannu, so as not to damage my reputation in Denglai, I will return victoriously today and pay my orders to you," Zhang Ke said with a big bow.
"General Zhang led the Denglai children to the battle for several months, and the battle killed the enemy chieftains, which greatly increased the power of our Denglai army.
It is gratifying and congratulatory."
Sun Yuanhua smiled all over his face.
It was said that Wang Tingshi was the one who sent Zhang Keda off to the expedition, but who made him the governor now?
Or was it Sun Yuanhua who had such a good fortune that he could take credit for his achievements as soon as he came to Denglai.
"Mr.
Zhang has worked hard all the way and will change his clothes when he returns home.
I'm waiting to hold a banquet to celebrate the heroes of the National War."
Zhang Ke laughed and agreed.
Zhao Lie watched quietly among the waiting crowd.
He was trying his best not to show off his appearance and keep a low profile.
He wanted to keep a low profile, but others had to cooperate.
Zhang Keda saw Zhao Lie among the crowd at a glance, no one else.
The tall man of nearly 1.9 meters stood out among a crowd of 1.67 meters tall.
When Zhao Lie saw Zhang Keda looking at him, he hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted him.
He was a little far away, so Zhao Lie had no words and just bowed from a distance.
Zhang Ke nodded in return and went with Sun Yuanhua first.
This time Zhao Lie has also attracted the attention of others.
Who is this big black man that Mr.
Zhang greeted?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Judging from his appearance, he is only thirty years old.
How can he be a third-grade military general?
He cannot be a yamen of some family.
Sun Yuanhua introduced Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Li Jiucheng and others to Zhang Keda.
Kong Youde and others came forward to pay homage one by one.
Although they had Sun Yuanhua's support, Zhang Keda was their nominal boss after all, so it was best not to offend them.
After the greetings, Zhang Keda left his general to take care of the soldiers who had come ashore, while he returned to his mansion to change clothes.
The other civil and military officials had returned to prepare for a banquet, but the Du Si and Wei Suo officers headed by Tang Qian stayed behind.
Because there were soldiers under their command who were coming ashore one after another, so of course they, the most senior officials, could not leave lightly.
Zhao Lie stepped forward to pay homage to Li Youde and called him "Sir."
Li Youde smiled and returned the courtesy.
He was friends with Zhao Haiming, and Zhao Lie was considered a junior.
Now he was envious of Lao Zhao's son, but he was much better than the few in his family.
Of course, he also knew about the grievances between Yang Jingtang and Zhao Lie's family standing next to him.
So I didn’t say much, both sides had to maintain it.
Yang Jingtang's face was extremely dark.
When he made the Zhao family feel disgusted, he never thought that Zhao Lie, the second generation ancestor, could actually kill the enemy chieftain and achieve great feats.
When he heard the news, he lost his temper in the house, and even his most beloved concubine Pang was slapped twice by him.
The Yang family was in a state of turmoil for several days.
Now that I see this big black man standing in front of me with a smile, I don't need to mention the frustration in my heart.
This was the first time Yang Jingtang saw Zhao Lie.
In fact, he had been observing Zhao Lie for a while while waiting for Zhang Keda.
He thought that this black man was a ruthless character and was difficult to deal with.
But after seeing the extremely familiar conversation between Zhao Lie and Zhang Keda, I became more and more fearful.
Zhao Lie silently saluted Yang Jingtang, and he was still smiling, as if he had no grudges at all.
This made Yang Jingtang's face sink even more.
He quickly stretched out his sleeves and turned around to look at Zhao Lie as if he hadn't seen him. pier.
Years of cultivating qi had no effect at all, and now he was disgusted when he saw the Zhao family.
Zhao Lie smiled slightly, but he was not worth a peep to such people.
The moment Chang Runing boarded the pier, he was no longer sad or happy when he saw Yang Jingtang and Zhao Lie.
In the capital, he tried his best to use money to open up connections and was transferred to the Linqing military commander.
Among them, he spent money to transfer from Zhao Lie to Linqing.
The heads of the slaves purchased elsewhere played a key role.
He just waited for his return this time to transfer, but now he was not affiliated with Denglai, and the fight between the two enemies on the dock had nothing to do with him.
Zhang Keda had already informed him of the news of Zhao Lie taking over.
He didn't care.
It would be best if both Yang Jingtang and Zhao Lie were defeated.
When Yang Jingtang saw Chang Runing, it was like seeing a dead person, and he pretended he saw nothing.
Chang Runing didn't ask for trouble, he just came forward to see Tang Qian and Li Youde.
"I will be waiting here for Master Chang to return victoriously."
Zhao Lie smiled and saluted, assuming the posture of his former subordinate.
"I don't dare to take it.
There is no need to be polite.
Master Zhao has also been the commander of the guards for a few months.
He is really a young hero."

Chang Runing said with a complicated mood.
"No matter what, Master Chang is my former superior, so etiquette cannot be broken."
Zhao Lie said respectfully.
For him, the past has been forgotten, and Linqing General is also a very important boundary.
They are both in Shandong, so it is better to be friends, at least not enemies of each other.
Chang Runing looked at Yang Jingtang in the distance and cursed in his heart, Damn, you're not even as good as a child with a yellow mouth.
Damn you.
I'm finally out of the control of a villain like you.
Let's see if I can't do anything to you today.
When Zhao Lie saw the soldiers of Jinghai Guard, he was very surprised.
He found that Ding, the guard of Jinghai, was stronger.
Most of the jackets on my body are new.
It seems that I have gained a lot from garrisoning in the capital.
Everyone entered the city one after another, but Zhao Lie waited until his father, who was involved in the transportation, landed ashore before entering Defu City together.
At the reception banquet, most civil and military officials were still in a happy mood.
After all, the Denglai Army had the greatest military exploits among the soldiers who entered the defense this time.
Other military towns are really incomparable, and even Denglai officials like them are a lot more attractive, so the banquet is very enjoyable.
Even Sun Yuanhua drank a few more drinks, and Zhang Keda even drank more and left the party early.
The second day.
According to the rules, the civil and military forces of Denglai came together to burn incense and worship at the Martyrs' Shrine and pray for those who died in the war.
In fact, it was just like that.
The names of several soldiers who died in the war were included on it, so that the family could be compensated.
The rest just disappeared without a name or identity.
At this point, the ceremony of returning the army after victory was all over.
The next step is the matter of rewards and pensions.
This is not something that can be completed in three or two days, and it takes time.
After the sacrifices at Zhonglie Temple were completed, Zhao Lie wanted to return to Shidao.
I really have no interest in making excuses with these old oily people.
At this time, Zhang Keda's housekeeper came to tell me that he was invited by the general town.
"Greetings to the lord of the town, congratulations on your victory."
Zhao Lie knelt down and said.
"Get up.
No need to be polite."
Zhang Keda was in a good mood and said with a smile.
"The new commander makes you very proud."
Zhang Keda joked.
"I am able to reach such a high position at such a young age because of the support of the town.
Zhao Lie would like to express my gratitude."
Zhao Lie bowed deeply.
"Okay, there are not so many etiquettes today," Zhang Ke laughed and waved his hands, "Zhao Lie, your current official position was obtained with your military exploits.
Ordinarily, the imperial court treated you a little less this time, and your merits allowed you to be promoted to the rank of counselor.
A general or even a deputy general is more than enough, but now he is just a guard general, but he feels unwilling to do so."
"Sir Bing, I don't have big ambitions to be a low-ranking official.
I can be a stable official in Denglai and support my parents."
Zhao Lie said with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense," Zhang Keda pointed at Zhao Lie, "You are talking casually.
To be able to train such elite soldiers, you train soldiers every day, take the lead in fighting the enemy with strength and tenacity, who don't have great ambitions?
Xin, Zhao Lie, please don’t deceive this town.”
"Sir, as a Denglai general, I know that elite soldiers are the way to save my life.
My uncle was killed in a sneak attack by the slaves when he was sent to Liaodong to transport baggage.
The Zhao family will never forget it, so my father did this Sending all the family wealth to recruit warriors to go to war is just for self-protection."
Zhao Lie said without hesitation.
Now this statement has become Zhao Lie's mantra.
Whenever others ask about recruiting servants, he will say this.
"You are cunning," Zhang Ke's elder Zhao Lie scolded with a smile, "This town doesn't believe your nonsense, Zhao Lie, this town has great expectations for you, you look like Lord Qi, alas, Denglai is such a hero.
"Zhang Keda also lamented that there must be a reason why there are always capable generals like Qi Ye and Zhao Lie in Denglai.
"Your Majesty, your expectations are too high.
How can the light of a grain of rice be compared with the brilliance of the sun and the moon, Lord Qi?"
Zhao Lie hurriedly humbled himself, his mind turned quickly.
Could it be that Zhang Keda had seen something, or had heard about it?
What.
"This town doesn't believe your words," Zhang Keda waved his hand, "Zhao Lie, this town has received the transfer order and is about to be transferred to Zhejiang General Soldier.
My old mother is old and she just needs to return to her hometown to support her."
Zhao Lie was shocked.
A boss like Zhang Keda was rare.
If he left, it would be very detrimental to Zhao Lie's layout in Denglai.
Just as Zhao Lie was about to speak, Zhang Keda continued.
"After I leave this town, I hope you will continue to train your troops and don't slack off because of the court's poor treatment.
As you said, Denglai is an important town in the Ming Dynasty and may be deployed in Dongjiang and Liaodong at any time.
Don't be complacent and careless."
"I obey the words of the general town.
Although I am not as good as Mr.
Qi, I will do my best to prepare for war.
One day, I will defeat Jiannu on the battlefield, blood for blood and tooth for tooth."
Zhao Lie respectfully bowed to the ground.
Maybe Zhang Keda is not a famous general, but that is just because the court did not give him strong support.
This man is indeed a loyal and brave man among the Ming generals, and Zhao Lie admires him very much.
"Okay, I won't keep you here anymore.
Take this back.
The new official has taken office and the general affairs are huge, so go ahead and get going."
Zhang Keda issued an eviction order.
Zhao Lie took it and took a look.
It turned out to be a document from Qianhu, the Qianhu Office of Zhao Feng Ren Jinghaiwei Zuoqianhu.
It turned out to be Zhang Keda's promise, and it was fulfilled at this time.
Zhao Lie was very grateful to Zhang Keda, knowing that the mayor was really taking care of him.
He could be transferred at any time now, and he had just completed the matter when he returned to Denglai, which showed his appreciation for Zhao Lie.
Zhao Lie could only thank him and leave.
For an outgoing commander-in-chief, no matter how much he said, it would be useless.
