Chapter 577: The Loyal Soul Returns Home


Fang Zheng transformed into a eunuch in charge of rituals.

He had always been diligent and deeply trusted by Chongzhen.

This time he came to Denglai as an envoy to issue decrees.

He was also accompanied by Xiao Xianzhong, a doctor in the Ministry of War.

As celebrities around Chongzhen, they went to Denglai to deliver the decree.

Chen Yingyuan and Zhang Guoyuan both went ten miles from Dengzhou to greet him.

Now they are in the opposition.

After the two parties met, Chen Yingyuan was of course cautious in flattering, but even Zhang Guoyuan was polite in a low profile.

Although the two of them had the same status and had their own responsibilities when they were with Long Live, now that Fang Zhenghua is with the emperor, and Zhang Guoyuan is in the opposition, the difference is huge, which means that Fang Zhenghua can deliver words to the emperor, and Zhang Guoyuan was beyond his reach, so there was a huge difference between the government and the opposition.

When he was in government, he could deliver messages to the Long Live Lord, so of course he was more favored.

Chen Yingyuan and Zhang Guoyuan brought a group of people to the governor's mansion to hold a banquet to wash away the dust.

At the same time, they sent troops to Shidao to inform Zhao Lie that the protagonist had come to receive the order.

However, the news from Shidao is that Mr.

Zhao Lie Zhao has set off to Dongjiang Lushun to inspect the defense.

I am afraid it will take half a month to come back.

This made Chen Yingyuan extremely embarrassed, and Fang Zhenghua and Zhang Guoyuan extremely angry.

If nothing else, Chen Yingyuan was the governor of Denglai and Zhao Lie's immediate boss, but Zhao Lie did not report to Chen Yingyuan when he left Denglai Govt.

There are too many contents here.

One is that Chen Yingyuan lost control of the situation, and the other is that Zhao Lie's domineering is evident.

Chen Yingyuan is just embarrassed.

Now he is happy to be able to resign and return to his hometown.

He has some dignity, but no one is willing to take over this hot potato.

What about other things?

Chen Yingyuan still has to endure the position of governor of Denglai. .

"I'm afraid I went to Jeju for my inspection tour of Lushun and Dongjiang."

Zhang Guoyuan couldn't help but cursed.

Now Zhao Lie occupies Jeju and Ezo Territory farther north.

The news has gone viral in the capital.

I don’t know where it came from.

Anyway, it has a nose and eyes.

Of course, it is extremely reasonable.

Otherwise, how could the Zhao family have the strength to conquer the Japanese with their large sums of money and warships?

This rumor at least points out the source.

It turns out that the Zhao family has its own territory overseas.

Of course, this is all hearsay, and no one has any real evidence, but this no longer requires real evidence.

The mysterious rise of the Zhao family has been explained.

Now this rumor has spread to Shandong and Denglai, and is spreading among the people everywhere.

But the Zhao family remained silent, as if they didn't hear anything.

Fang Zhenghua also had a sinking look on his face, feeling deeply that he would probably return empty-handed from this trip.

This Zhao Lie had no respect for the imperial court, so it would be impossible for Zhao Lie to send troops to quell the rebellion.

Fang Zhenghua and others waited helplessly in Dengzhou.

An edict-proclaiming angel waited in Denglai for twenty days.

Finally, the news came that Zhao Lie had returned to Shidao.

It was said that a large group of people returned to Shidao together.

There were still many people who suffered losses, which made Fang Zhenghua, Chen Yingyuan, and Zhang Guoyuan extremely confused.

Could it be that Zhao Lie suffered a big loss in Lushun.

On the dock of Shidao, Zhao Haiming and his wife, Alexandra, Zhao Meng, Tang Xianwen and others had been waiting for a long time.

This time the army returned, the reason why they came to the dock early to greet them was because Zhao Lie informed them that Zhao Lie would not be the last to disembark, but would be disembarking the next day.

Therefore, the Zhao family came here to greet them early the next morning, leaving only Zhao Meng's wife, Li Lin and Zhao E to take care of the four skin monkeys at home.

The huge body of the Di Qing docked at the Shidao Pier.

Zhao Lie's guards disembarked first and set up a guard formation, guarding the area more than a hundred steps down the gangway.

Zhao Lie stepped down the gangway accompanied by Zhao Da and Yu Dabao.

Zhao Qin and Alexandra stepped forward with smiles.

It was enough for them to see their son and husband return.

Zhao Qin took a good look at her son, and then asked about Zhao Feng's situation.

Knowing that Zhao Feng was also safe and sound, she put aside all her thoughts this time and handed Zhao Lie over to Alexandra.

Alexandra stepped forward and hugged Zhao Lie tightly.

She was well aware of the hardships and dangers of this trip.

After all, she had sailed in the sea for many years before arriving in Macau.

The moodiness of the sea was really unpredictable.

She saw her husband returning safely. , her heart finally calmed down.

Zhao Haiming noticed something.

He saw that Zhao Lie's smile was a little far-fetched.

"Lie'er, what's the matter?

This time we suffered a huge loss."

He inquired.

Zhao Lie nodded with a wry smile.

The Battle of Xiaoliuqiu resulted in thousands of casualties and the loss of dozens of warships.

It can be said to be the largest battle loss since the formation of the Polu Navy.

"Thousands of soldiers were injured and killed, all of whom were skilled soldiers of the Polu Army navy."

Zhao Lie looked at the two Galen merchant ships behind him.

These two warships were carrying the clothes and clothes of these dead sailors.

As for the corpses?

It is the fate of navy soldiers to return to the sea, but it can only return their souls to their hometown.

Zhao Haiming, Zhao Meng, Zhao Qinshi, and Alexandra were speechless for a moment.

They were not ignorant people.

They could be said to have a rough understanding of the combat power of the Polu Army.

According to the Polu Army, such combat power was lost.

So many people are simply unimaginable.

At this time, large groups of Polu soldiers poured into the dock, all holding a wooden box or a cloth bag in their hands.

Zhao Haiming and Zhao Meng both knew that the wooden boxes were used to contain the robes and robes of the navy soldiers who died in battle, so they used bags to transport them first because the wooden boxes were insufficient.

It is conceivable how many lives were lost in the warm ocean in the south.

Zhao Lie also came to the dock accompanied by Zhao Da and Yu Dabao.

All the soldiers saluted Zhao Lie in unison.

Zhao Lie returned the salute and walked to the front to stand beside the military formation.

Liu Fugui and his guards hurriedly saluted.

The Jinghai Guard soldiers they were stationed at were now stationed on Shidao.

The Jinghai Guards and the more than 3,000 elite troops drawn from other armies were mixed together to form the current Jinghai Guards, with a total of more than 6,000 people.

The commander is now Liu Fugui, and Zou Huai'en is now Liu Fugui's subordinate, Mr.

Qian.

The soldiers stationed on Shidao were of course the best candidates to greet the fallen, so Liu Fugui received the order, and except for the two thousand teams on duty, all other soldiers arrived here.

In addition to the two thousand soldiers surrounding the military camp and the dock, the remaining three thousand soldiers came to the dock to greet the fallen brothers.

"Liu Fugui, tell your subordinates that all the brothers who sacrificed their lives for the country have returned home.

I hope that they will respect these brothers and do not make noises or whispers.

If anyone dares to violate the prohibition, military law will be taken immediately."

Zhao Liesurong ordered.

In fact, these etiquette officers who greeted the fallen soldiers of the Polu Army had already preached countless times.

However, there were too many soldiers who died in battle this time, and there were also a large number of soldiers who came to pick them up.

Zhao Lie did not want any incompetent fool to make a fool of himself on this solemn occasion and spoil this solemn ceremony.

"Liu Fugui obeys his orders, and his soldiers will surely welcome back the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country."

Liu Fugui saluted respectfully.

Then several guards were sent out to communicate with the various commanders Qian and Bai, conveying the commander's orders.

When the first Galen merchant ship docked at the pier, the three thousand troops lined up in three neat formations, and these more than three thousand soldiers stood respectfully.

At the forefront of the military formation were Zhao Lie, Yu Fugui and others.

When the Galen merchant ship stopped and the gangway was erected, Zhao Lie was the first to step onto the merchant ship with a wooden box in his hand.

The deck was already covered with the clothes of the fallen soldiers.

Zhao Lie put the clothes of a captain named Lan San into the wooden box and then walked off the bow accompanied by Zhao Da and Yu Dabao, followed by Yu Fugui and others.

Zhao Lie returned to his original position on the dock and placed the wooden box on the ground, then stood behind and waited with his hands crossed.

Yu Fugui and others also returned to stand behind Zhao Lie holding the wooden box in hand.

All the other soldiers boarded the ship one by one.

They took the clothes and crowns of the fallen soldiers from the merchant ship and returned to the dock, where they lined up in order.

There was no other sound in the entire dock and warship except the sound of soldiers walking around.

All the soldiers on board and off the ship stood at attention, and the entire dock and harbor did not look like there were tens of thousands of soldiers.

After the clothes and crowns of all the fallen soldiers on the two Galen warships were received, the three warrior formations returned to order.

"Brothers, I am taking you home."

Zhao Lie shouted with tears in his eyes, and walked towards the camp with the wooden box in hand.

No one can understand the heaviness on Zhao Lie's body, because the heavy casualties of the Polu Army occurred under his military orders.

Only he understands how much change he has brought to the world and how many people's destinies he has changed.

Yes, he rescued hundreds of thousands of refugees and gave them a good life.

These Liao people and Shandong refugees were so grateful to him and the Zhao family that almost every family even enshrined his portrait because they were no longer homeless.

Then he was forced to sell his son and daughter, and lived a prosperous and decent life.

But Zhao Lie knew in his heart that he also used these refugees to train the most powerful army of the Ming Dynasty.

This powerful army followed his military orders and fought everywhere.

It can be said that the ten years of the Polu Army were ten years of blood-stained uniforms, and there were almost no Too much free time, the great reputation of this powerful army was forged with the blood of soldiers and the heads of enemies.

In essence, these soldiers and civilians do not owe him anything.

In fact, both sides get what they need.

But he can only bury these words in his heart, because there is still a big battle waiting for him and the Polu Army ahead.

It is a decisive battle that only allows victory but not defeat.

He needs this powerful army to burst out the most fearless force for China.

Spirit and the strongest fighting power.

Zhao Lie set off first, and all the soldiers followed Zhao Lie's footsteps and marched towards the military camp in an orderly manner.

All the soldiers admired Zhao Lie.

Is there such a commander in Ming Dynasty?

Provide sufficient food, salary and rewards to the soldiers, help the soldiers start families and establish careers, provide large pensions to the injured and injured soldiers, visit the injured soldiers, and carry the coffins of the fallen brothers.

In the realm of the Ming Dynasty, there is no one like this.

Is there such a general or such a lord?

All the soldiers followed Zhao Lie and marched silently and solemnly, but their hearts were full of fire.

They knew that even if they sacrificed their lives for the country one day, Master Zhao would take care of the glory behind them, so they were afraid of a ball
