Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

"Brother Yang, how many people will you arrange for me?" Wang Bin listened to the conversation between the two, his mind was slightly moved, and he couldn't help but ask.

Of course, his purpose was not for a few of the Yang family's children, but to establish a good relationship with Yang Zhengshan and build some relationships.

Yang Zhengshan thought for a while, "Chengche and Qinwu are both good. If you transfer from Songzhou Guard, you can take them to take up the post. They should be able to help you!"

He also understands Wang Bin's thoughts. This is a good thing and he is happy to see it come to fruition.

After this battle, Wang Bin will definitely be promoted. With his military exploits, he can at least be promoted to one level and serve as the deputy commander of the border town.

But he will definitely not stay in Chongshan Town. There is no deputy commander-in-chief position for him in Chongshan Town.

There are only a few outstanding talents among the Yang family's children, Mingwu, Chengze, Chengxu, Chengche, Qinwu and Mingzhen. All in all, only these six people have good abilities.

Part of the reason why they have become talented is because Yang Zhengshan personally led them, but Yang Zhengshan can't turn stone into gold. Some people are just not good at being in officialdom and can't force it.

Take Yang Mingcheng, for example. This fool entered the officialdom and would probably help others pay for him if he was betrayed.

Another example is the original ten people who followed Yang Zhengshan. Except for Mingwu and Chengze, the other five people had mediocre qualifications.

"Well, when I get promoted, I will take them with me!" Wang Bin laughed.

The three of them continued to drink, one drink for you and one for me, and they quickly drank the whole bottle of wine.

Wang Bin held the empty wine bottle and said with some dissatisfaction: "I was just a little bit interested but now I'm gone! When I get back, I must have a good drink!"

…

After capturing Fushan City, the Zhenbiao Battalion and the Third Route Reinforcement Battalion launched attacks one after another, spending more than half a month to clear the area north of Fushan City.

In early July, the 30,000 Zhenbiao Battalion and the last 30,000 Hu cavalry of the East China Sea Hu tribe fought a decisive battle in Ciwen Mountain. The two sides fought for a day and a night. In the end, the three tribes of Omubu, Chahar and Dosol fled into the snowy land and committed suicide. After that, all the territory south of Ciwen Mountain and thousands of miles away was included in Da Rong's territory.

In mid-July, the Wula clan was forced by the Western Route Army led by Ji Feiyu and fled into the territory of the Ulliang Hu Tribe. The Ulliang Hu Tribe sent 10,000 cavalry to respond, causing the West Route Army to return without success.

The Wula clan joining the Ulliang Hu tribe represented the complete demise of the Daling Dynasty that had been established for several years, and the complete disintegration of the Donghai Hu tribe entrenched in the north.

In late July, Yang Zhengshan, who had been resting outside Fushan City for a month, finally embarked on his journey home.

Wang Bin's east route was the first to retreat. There was no way, Wang Bin's reinforcement battalion suffered heavy losses in this war, but besides Zhou Lan, it was Wang Bin who made the most contributions.

Yang Zhengshan's credit must be given to Wang Bin. After all, Wang Bin is the leader of the West Road.

What subordinates do well is due to the leadership's command.

Liang Chu personally went out of the city to see Wang Bin and Yang Zhengshan on their way home.

Looking at the team slowly leaving, Liang Chu had a sad look on his face.

"Master Hou, what's going on?"

Zhou Lan, who was standing nearby, noticed something strange about him and asked.

Liang Chu shook his head slightly, "Nothing, even I should go back to Kyoto!"

Zhou Lan frowned slightly, "Why?"

Although the war is over, there are still many matters to be dealt with in Chongshan Town.

Especially for Qianli North, the court will inevitably bring it under the jurisdiction of Chongshan Town, set up guard posts, relocate military households, reclaim wasteland, etc., and there are many things to do.

At this time, Liang Chu should be allowed to continue to preside over the affairs of Chongshan Town.

"Some people don't want me to stay in Chongshan Town. Some people think that my contribution is already great enough. Some people are wary of me relying on my own troops. In short, there are many reasons!"

Zhou Lan sneered, "Someone must want to pick peaches!"

The war is over, and the next achievements are all ready. At this time, it is natural that some people are jealous of Liang Chu's position.

"Your Majesty, won't you stop it?"

"Your Majesty is old!"

Liang Chu said in a low voice.

Zhou Lan suddenly realized.

His Majesty is getting older, and his suspicions and wariness are getting more and more serious.

Perhaps His Majesty also feels that Liang Chu's contribution is great enough, and is also guarding against Liang Chu's self-respect.

Or maybe His Majesty felt that transferring Liang Chu back to Kyoto would make him feel more at ease.

Killing a donkey would not be a problem. Although Emperor Taiping was suspicious, he was not ignorant of right and wrong.

"Let's go, let's go back together when the time comes!"

Although Liang Chu was dissatisfied with this, he was also tolerant and would not feel sorry for himself.

…

The closer he got to Anyuan City, the heavier Yang Zhengshan's mood became.

This time he brought back victory and achievements, as well as the ashes and heroic souls of his comrades.

Da da da~~

The sound of horse hoofbeats came from the front. It was Xie Yuan and Yang Minghao who had received the news in advance and rushed over.

"grown ups!"

The two came running over with a dozen people.

Yang Zhengshan waved his hand, said nothing, and continued walking towards Anyuan City.

The soldiers behind him said nothing. In the middle of the team were more than a dozen carriages, with only jars on them.

It took so long that the body had long since been burned, and all they brought back were ashes.

Da Rong’s custom emphasizes burial. Burial is mainly based on burial. However, burial can also be chosen in some special circumstances. For example, if an ordinary guest dies in a foreign land, it will cost a lot of money to send the body back to his hometown for burial. Therefore, The only option is to cremate the person and then send the ashes back to his hometown for burial.

Another example is that the soldiers who died in the battle, if conditions permit, can bring back their ashes. If there are no ashes, they can only build a tomb.

Of the more than a thousand soldiers in the garrison camp, only half returned, and the remaining half were buried in the north.

Looking at the black jars on the carriage, Xie Yuan and Yang Minghao's mind stagnated, and they silently followed the team and slowly walked towards Anyuan City.

When the team arrived in front of the city gate, many people inside and outside the city gate knew that the garrison camp that went out to fight had returned today.

Yang Zhengshan rode into the city with a swagger, and the soldiers behind him followed with cold faces.

The atmosphere of the whole team seemed heavy and murderous.

Heaviness because they will face the families of their comrades who died in the battle next.

Murderous because the murderous aura accumulated in them during this period has not dissipated.

Seeing this scene, the people on the street retreated one after another. The murderous atmosphere made the people silent, standing on both sides of the street and dared not breathe.

The team entered the city from the north gate and headed south along the street. When passing the garrison hall, Yang Zhengshan saw Yu Qingyi.

Yu Qingyi held her waist, held her belly, and looked at him eagerly.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but he didn't smile in the end.

"Mother!"

Yang Yunxue stood beside Yu Qingyi and shrank her neck in fear.

The strong murderous aura was like a biting cold wind, which made her feel afraid.

Yu Qingyi took a breath and said softly: "It's okay, isn't your father fine? Don't worry!"

Since Yang Zhengshan went to war, the atmosphere at home has been a little quiet. Everyone is worried about Yang Zhengshan, but everyone dares not say it because Yu Qingyi is pregnant. Everyone is afraid that mentioning Yang Zhengshan will make her more worried.

Yu Qingyi also knows what everyone is thinking, so she tries to be calm on weekdays and rarely mentions Yang Zhengshan.

The team passed through the street and soon arrived at the Chengguanbao in the south of the city.

After returning to the familiar Chengguanbao, the soldiers relaxed.

After letting the soldiers go back to their rooms to rest, Yang Zhengshan called Xie Yuan, Yang Minghao and others to the main hall.

"Mingzhen, give the list of fallen soldiers to Lord Xie!"

Upon hearing this, Mingzhen hurriedly handed the list that had been prepared long ago to Xie Yuan.

Xie Yuan took the list and glanced at it, with a strange look in his eyes, "Lord, this is it!"

"Please prepare it, and send the brothers to bury them in five days! The cemetery and coffins must be prepared in advance!"

"There are also pensions. According to the highest standards of the court, Han Cheng, Dashan, Mingzhen, you will take the pensions to report the death of each family in these three days!"

"Let the family members come to the funeral in five days!"

Although they are back, their previous spoils have not been delivered yet, and they are all in Jiacheng.

So now the pension can only be paid from the account of the garrison office.

When their spoils are transported back from Jiacheng, Yang Zhengshan will send another copy to those family members.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded.

Yang Zhengshan waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go home first!"

After arranging the matter, Yang Zhengshan and Yang Minghao left Chengguanbao, and then the soldiers also walked out of Chengguanbao and went home to reunite with their families.

Back to the Yang family, Yang Zhengshan immediately felt the warmth of home.

"The master is back!"

Wu Hai, who was standing at the door, saw Yang Zhengshan and immediately shouted into the door.

Before Yang Zhengshan walked to the door, he saw a group of people coming out of the door.

Two maids supported Yu Qingyi, Yang Mingcheng stood behind Yu Qingyi, and behind them were Wang, Li, Liang, Yunxue, Yunqiao, etc.

"Master!"

Yu Qingyi looked at Yang Zhengshan, her eyes were red.

Yang Zhengshan quickly jumped off the horse, held her hand, and smiled brightly, "Why, are you thinking about your husband?"

Yu Qingyi's brewing emotions suddenly turned into embarrassment when she heard this, "The children are here, can't you be serious!"

"Hahaha~~" Yang Zhengshan laughed.

"Grandpa, I miss you!"

"Grandpa, I miss you too!"

The two little girls squeezed out of the crowd, hugged Yang Zhengshan's thighs, and shouted.

Yang Zhengshan quickly bent down and picked up the two little girls, "Grandpa also misses Wanting and Miao'er!"

Yang Wanting, Yang Mingzhi's youngest daughter, is four years old this year.

Jiang Miao, this little girl is also four years old now, and she is three months older than Wanting.

Before, Yang Wanting had been in Jianningwei. After coming to the Yang family, she was very unfamiliar with Yang Zhengshan at first, but after a few months, this girl became very fond of getting close to Yang Zhengshan.

As for Jiang Miao, it goes without saying that this girl was named by Yang Zhengshan and she liked to stay with Yang Zhengshan since she was a child.

"Grandpa, and me too!"

"Grandpa!"

"Grandpa!"

After a while, Yang Zhengshan was surrounded by a group of little rascals.

Yang Zhengshan lowered his head and counted, Yang Chengye, Yang Chengmao, Yang Wanqing, Yang Wanting, Yang Chengxian, Jiang Ning, Jiang Miao, and Yang Wanyi in Wang's arms and the unnamed baby in Liang's arms.

Four grandsons, three granddaughters, a grandson, and a granddaughter!

What is a house full of children and grandchildren? This is it!

A group of little guys were noisy and pushed Yu Qingyi aside.

"Okay, okay, stop shouting, go home!"

Yang Zhengshan felt a group of crows flying overhead, cawing non-stop, making a lot of noise.

"Go home, go home!" Yu Qingyi also said hurriedly.

During this period, she was also annoyed. Children at home are often noisy, but if the noise lasts for a long time, it will make people feel noisy.
