Datang Nongwang

Chapter 944 On the Rewards for Deeds
Li Shimin took the lead to leave Beisha City and returned to Datang.

For the follow-up large force, Li Chongyuan promised that all soldiers from the Eastern Expedition would return to Datang.

Liu Xiang took Li Shimin back to Datang on a super-A paddle steamer.

but.

Before Li Shimin returned to Datang, Li Chongyuan confessed to Liu Xiang.

As for Li Chongyuan, he was left in the rear to ensure that all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty returned to their hometowns for disposal.

The first group of people who followed Li Shimin back to Datang left the port of Beisha City and headed for Laizhou Port.

A whole hundred paddle steamers.

These one hundred paddle steamers carried a total of fifty thousand soldiers.

On Li Chongyuan's side, dozens of ships were left in case of emergencies.

Simultaneously.

Li Shimin also sent people to Beifuyu City to convey that Li Shimin will be rewarded and bestowed in Chang'an at the end of the year.

As for whether there will be people from North Buyeo, it is not important.

The important thing is to get the message across, and that's it.

Li Chongyuan's suggestion during the discussion was not really to confer the title of the new Liaodong King, but to keep this part of Goguryeo unconquered.

Hearing that Li Shimin was going to be canonized as the new King of Liaodong, he started fighting.

The Treasure King is in Datang's hands.

Most of the ministers of Goguryeo were either killed or captured by Li Chongyuan. Even the Yuan family who once controlled Goguryeo were all taken over by Li Chongyuan.

Goguryeo is not chaotic, this will become a fact.

although.

Goguryeo valued Buyeo people, and so did Baekje.

And Baekje.

Li Shimin also sent someone there.

And Baekje sent people there, not to convey any canonization, but to convey the decree to Queen Kinderman of Silla.

Its purpose is to let Kinderman rush to Chang'an before the end of the year to participate in the canonization ceremony of Datang.

And on that day.

Li Shimin also discussed Baekje with his ministers.

The ministers believe that Baekje was broken by Li Chongyuan and assisted by Silla, so Baekje should belong to Datang.

However, Li Shimin felt that some benefits should be given to Silla, and the Silla Kingdom should take over the management first, and then take over Baekje again after Datang frees up.

Regarding this matter, Li Chongyuan did not express any opinions, nor did he stop Li Shimin from making this decision.

Li Chongyuan didn't care about Baekje, nor did he want to.

Moreover.

It is true that the current Datang can no longer send troops at this time.

Just some time ago.

When the Tang Dynasty used swords against Goguryeo.

It seems that the Tubo Kingdom has begun to gather [-] soldiers and horses again, appearing in the border area between Tuyuhun and Datang.

even.

During Li Shimin's Eastern Expedition, after Xue Yantuo's Ba Zhuo took Xue Yantuo's power, he gathered part of Xue Yantuo's troops to attack Datang.

Two things.

Let Li Shimin think that within the past two years in the Tang Dynasty, what needs to be dealt with is not Baekje or the remnants of Goguryeo, but the Tubo Kingdom and Xue Yantuo.

As for the country of Wa.

Li Shimin didn't pay attention at all.

At first.

After Li Chongyuan told Li Shimin about the appearance of thousands of Japanese soldiers and horses in Goguryeo's Black Bone City, Li Shimin did not think that the Japanese would become Datang's opponent.

Living next to the sea really gave Li Shimin this idea.

to this end.

Although Li Chongyuan had already conceived the idea of ​​destroying the Wa Kingdom, Li Shimin did not support it, and Li Chongyuan had no choice.

but.

Even if Li Chongyuan had no choice, Li Chongyuan still treated this matter as the most important thing.

Li Shimin did not send troops.

Could it be that Li Chongyuan has no other way?
Chen Juan's pirate army is the solution.

After watching the ship carrying Li Shimin leave the port, Li Chongyuan took a deep breath, "It's finally over, and I don't know if this Goguryeo will rise again in the future."

"Xiao Langjun, don't worry about it. Goguryeo has been beaten like this. If he can still get up, then the soldiers who died in the Tang Dynasty will die in vain." I don't think what will happen to Goguryeo at all.

But Li Chongyuan knew it.

More than 200 years later, a man named Wang Jian established the Goryeo Kingdom under the old name of Goguryeo, and then started to embezzle the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

For the things that will happen hundreds of years later, although it is far away, Li Chongyuan does not hope that the peninsula will recover.

At least.

In Li Chongyuan's mind.

Guam must return to the land of China. A white-eyed wolf is absolutely not allowed to be born, and a person whose whole world is them is absolutely not allowed to appear.

Xingba doesn't take Goguryeo seriously.

Li Chongyuan heard it and passed away.

Li Chongyuan stood quietly at the port for half an hour, seeing all the departing ships disappearing from his sight, he asked Xingba, "Where are Auntie and the others?"

"The two aunts are in the west of Beisha City, and I don't know what they are doing. However, I heard from the people below that the two aunts seem to be beating those pirates." Xing Ba pointed and said.

Li Chongyuan smiled when he heard the words.

Li Chongyuan can actually guess what Chen Juan and the others are going to do.

It is estimated that they want to get some money from the pirate army.

although.

Li Chongyuan captured the capital of Goguryeo or other cities, etc., and made a lot of money.

But there is a saying that, when it comes to money, the more the better.

Moreover.

The two of Chen Juan have already promised Li Chongyuan that after this war is over, they are planning to return to Chang'an with Li Chongyuan, and they are more likely to marry as wives.

of course.

This is just Li Chongyuan's idea, as to whether it can be realized, Li Chongyuan doesn't know.

Two days later.

The Super A paddle steamer returned to Bay Sands port.

Liu Xiang reported, "Report to the chief executive, my subordinates have sent the Holy One to Laizhou Port, and the Holy One has transferred to a B-type paddle steamer, entered the Yellow River from Laizhou Port, and returned to Beijing."

"Okay, well done. The Type B paddle steamer you changed to is Type I?" Li Chongyuan was happy.

If the Super A paddle steamer was not taken away by Li Shimin, then everything is easy to say.

Liu Xiang nodded and replied, "It's the first type. You have told me, Xiao Langjun, that the second type is not allowed to be touched by others, so the subordinates naturally obeyed the instructions of the young man and changed to the first type. In fact, the Holy One started Insisting on not changing the ship, the subordinates exhausted their tongues, and even talked about their interests. In the end, the Holy Majesty even complained to his subordinates, saying, Mr. Xiaolang, you even sent a decent paddle steamer to Yu He said that when he returned to Beijing, he would settle the score with Mr. Xiaolang."

"Never mind him. As long as the sage returns to Beijing, he won't have time to remember it. Even if he remembers, at worst, he will be given a Type B paddle steamer." Li Chongyuan felt relieved.

Type [-] and Type [-] mentioned by Li Chongyuan.

It is the difference in core power.

Type [-] is the core driving force initially determined by Mo Fei, and Type [-] is the improved type.

The improved type, not to mention its stability, is at least one-third faster than the first type.

How could Li Chongyuan be willing to give Li Shimin such a boat.

Moreover.

Li Chongyuan built a Type [-] paddle steamer and a Type [-] paddle steamer for the smooth development of the shipyard in the future, and planned to sell Type [-] paddle steamers.

Of course, what is sold must be D-type, and finally it will be C-type.

As for Type B, it depends on the future development.

The fifth day of October.

The last group of soldiers boarded the ship, and Li Chongyuan boarded the same ship.

The last group of soldiers, apart from most of Li Chongyuan's troops, was Chen Juan's pirate army.

The wounded, as well as the soldiers who died in battle, were the second group to leave.

In the past ten days, a total of four batches have been delivered.

After the last group of people left, Goguryeo seemed to be an empty country.

That is, there are no officials to control, and there are no Goguryeo soldiers.

After the war, it was basically the same.

Li Shimin didn't make an order, so no one would talk about it.

We all know it well and know what it was like after the war.

When Li Chongyuan boarded Laizhou Port, the ship that sent Li Shimin and some soldiers back home also returned from Chang'an.

but.

Under Li Chongyuan's observation, he found that a Type B paddle steamer was indeed missing.

From then on, Li Chongyuan guessed that the Type B paddle steamer was probably left by Li Shimin.

After staying in Laizhou Port for a day and sending off all the soldiers, Li Chongyuan and others boarded a boat and headed south to Xisha Island.

Anyway, it's not far away, and there are paddle boats.

The eighth day of October.

After returning to Xisha Island for a night, Li Chongyuan told Xiang Jiu and the others to return to the capital.

It's time to go home after being away from home for so long.

And this time it was because of the war.

Li Chongyuan was afraid that someone would spread some false news to his mother, so he was a little worried and wanted to return to Beijing in a hurry.

"Shande, we won't go back to Beijing with you." In the early morning, Chen Juan said to Li Chongyuan after hesitation.

Chen Huan stood aside and nodded.

Upon hearing this, Li Chongyuan said in disbelief: "Auntie, didn't you agree at the beginning? After the war is over, you will return to Beijing with me. Don't you want to see your little nephew?"

"Xiande, it's not that we don't want to go back to Beijing with you, nor that we don't want to see our little nephew, but that they need to be dealt with. After we deal with them, we will go back to Beijing to see our little nephew." Seeing that Li Chongyuan misunderstood I mean, explain quickly.

Li Chongyuan looked at the pirate army on board and understood, "So it's about them, I'm too nervous. If that's the case, then it doesn't matter if I wait a little longer. Why don't I go to Liuqiu Island to see?" "

"Shande, you should go back to Beijing first. There is nothing to see in Liuqiu Island, and it's not like you haven't seen it before." Chen Huan stopped.

Li Chongyuan thought, "Then I'll wait for you, after you settle them down, we'll go back to Beijing together."

Li Chongyuan was worried.

Or maybe they thought that Chen Juan and the others would never return.

Chen Juan and the others had no choice but to nod in the end.

October 22.

Li Chongyuan waited on Xisha Island for nearly half a month, and finally saw the paddle steamer returning from the sea when Li Chongyuan was uneasy.

As long as the paddle boat can come back, Li Chongyuan will know that Chen Juan and the others have not lost their word.

The two sides meet.

Li Chongyuan led Chen Juan and the others to board the B-type paddle steamer, sailed directly out of Xisha Island, and ran towards the mouth of the Yellow River.

Li Chongyuan didn't want to stop for a moment.

It seemed that they were afraid of Chen Juan and the others going back on their word.

Ten B-type paddle steamers returned to Beijing together.

on board.

It is loaded with the money and jewelry Li Chongyuan brought back from Goguryeo and Baekje this time.

Li Chongyuan didn't want any other things, and they were worthless anyway.

Apart from gold and silver, only jewelry can enter Li Chongyuan's eyes.

As for the pensions for the soldiers who died in battle and the pensions for the injured soldiers, Li Chongyuan had already told Xiang Ba that he would distribute them to the families of each soldier on his behalf.

For this matter.

Li Chongyuan left hundreds of Xiang family soldiers on Xisha Island.

To get this done for him.

The compensation money that Li Chongyuan promised was not less than a penny.

And this time.

Thousands of miles away in the capital, the eldest grandson's family is full of plain onyx.

In the main hall of Changsun's mansion, there was a coffin with a piece of clothing inside.

All the men and women in Changsun's mansion knelt down and cried.

A few days ago, Queen Changsun fainted when she heard that her brother had died in Goguryeo.

His elder brother was gone, and Empress Changsun cried to death.

As time went on, the sadness also passed. Although Empress Changsun still remembered her brother, but she could not be resurrected after death, but there was always a stone in her heart, that is, she did not see her brother's body.

Li Shimin also repeatedly comforted him, saying that there were too many unrecognizable lumps in Anshi City, and he couldn't find them.

The first day of November.

Li Chongyuan and others finally returned to the Bashui Wharf in Chang'an City.

Before the boat stopped, the old lady led her whole family to greet her.

After asking for warmth, he looked up and down the old lady, touched and touched, and after making sure that Li Chongyuan was fine, he felt at ease.

Li Chongji and his brothers all changed their eyes towards Li Chongyuan.

At first.

They thought it was a joke when they heard that their fourth younger brother was temporarily appointed as the head of the Canghai Road Marching Army by the Holy Majesty when he was in Laizhou.

But as more news came back, even the old lady couldn't sit still, fearing that Li Chongyuan would die in Goguryeo.

After all kinds of inquiries, there was no news of Li Chongyuan at the beginning.

It wasn't until later that I heard that Li Chongyuan had news, and I felt a little relieved.

After worrying about them for half a year, the old lady was overjoyed and worried when she finally got the news after the war.

Back home.

Under the old lady's inquiry, Li Chongyuan roughly told the old lady about the situation on the front line.

evening.

Li Chongyuan, who really missed his son, had to apologize to the old lady, left the family, and went to Lizhuang.

After meeting Li Yuan and asking Ann, he immediately hugged his nearly one-year-old son, that was a kiss.

At this time, Xiao Huo'er was already babbling, and was frightened by a man with a beard who suddenly came over and cried loudly.

Li Yuan also laughed loudly, "Yuan'er, look at you, you didn't clean up properly, this really scared Xiao Huo enough."

"Hey, I miss my son." As a last resort, I handed Xiaohuo to Ding Mu, sat in the courtyard by myself, and told Li Yuan about Goguryeo.

a few days later.

Li Chongyuan heard that Jindeman, the king of Silla, had arrived in Chang'an.

Moreover, Li Chongyuan also heard that many ministers of the former Goguryeo Ministry came to Chang'an.

After hearing the news, Li Chongyuan smiled.

A few more days.

Wang Li came to Li Zhuang, "Jun Wang Li, you have been back to Beijing for more than ten days, the Holy Majesty sent me to ask you if you have forgotten your identity."

"Hey!!! I've been working so hard. Manager Wang, the Holy One won't let me have a good rest." Li Chongyuan was helpless.

Wang Li smiled, "The sage ordered you to attend the court meeting on the [-]th."

"Is there something important?" Li Chongyuan asked.

Wang Li nodded, "About the battle of Goguryeo, the Holy Majesty wants to reward you, and you, Junjun Li, should be the first one, so you have to go."
