The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo

The crazy noble son Chen Li was still recovering from his injuries in Youzhou. Chen Xingyao was jealous and admired after hearing his achievements.

But he knew that he could not do this. He was able to insist on not escaping from the tower when the enemy attacked, and even killed a Tatar slave with his own hands. He was already very satisfied with his performance.

Chen Luoxue felt that her brother had a tendency to go crazy, not because of his performance on the battlefield.

Chen Luoxue did not see with her own eyes how the battle was fought, but she was in the city and went to the wounded barracks with those noble ladies to help.

I heard the explosion of gunpowder, the enemy's shouts to kill, the shaking of the earth, the neighing of war horses, the clash of swords and other sounds.

Smelling blood and ironwork, gun smoke and death, and seeing wounded soldiers with broken legs and few arms, she knew that the battlefield was a thousand times more terrifying than what she had seen and heard.

So no matter how her brother performed in that battle with will-o'-the-wisp fish oil, she admired and appreciated him.

What worried her was that after her brother was sent back to the city, during the period when the wounded soldiers were being nourished and nourished, he actually repeatedly said that he fell in love with that feeling.

I am deeply obsessed with the feeling of having my feet off the ground, my body hanging in the air, life and death on the line, and my heart in my throat.

At the same time, single-handedly destroying an enemy squad, this kind of victory is far more satisfying than shooting the enemy with a knife. It is a feeling of satisfaction that makes even the soul tremble.

It feels addictive and makes you want to try it again immediately.

So Chen Luoxue felt that his brother fell from mid-air and broke his brain. He used to always say that he relied on strategy rather than force, and he was more thoughtful than violent. The noble young master who was as gentle as jade has now become a martial arts madman bent on fighting!

Isn't there another reason for breaking your brain? Chen Luoxue didn't even dare to write a letter to her family about her brother's current situation. She only said that he had made great contributions and was rewarded heavily by the princess. He was slightly injured and would go home after recovering from his injuries in Youzhou.

At the same time, he hoped that the princess would come to check her brother's brain in person after her confinement.

After Shen Dongsu heard about Chen Li, he just wanted to get rid of the cousins ​​quickly. The longer they stayed in Youzhou, the more secrets they knew.

Unfortunately, it's snowing heavily now. Unless they are forced to get out, they have many reasons not to leave.

Chen Xingyao didn't say anything, even though he only killed one enemy, it was still considered a kill. Chen Li is a hero now, so it is really inappropriate to force him to get out.

Then just stay in the wounded barracks and drive away together after the Chinese New Year.

What she is in trouble now is another thing, that is, Mr. Pang wants to give a report to the court and explain the Youzhou defense battle in detail.

This couldn't be concealed, and the news spread throughout the northern border. No matter how serious it was, the imperial court would be suspicious of whether the battle was over or not.

Mr. Pang means to repay according to the truth. As an old man, he just wants his children to earn everything.

Mr. Pang feels this way now. He wants to show the people of Chang'an that even if the prince is away, the princess can still defend Youzhou City!

Furthermore, it is better to report to the imperial court for military exploits and rewards, so that next year's military resources can be increased.

It sounds like there are many benefits, but what Shen Dongsu considers is that in this way, the imperial court will not only know the true military strength of Youzhou, but also know that Youzhou has lethal weapons and gunpowder.

You may have heard of it before, and you just thought it was a gadget made by the disciples of Momen. You never expected that this thing could be so powerful on the battlefield!

These weapons and troops are more important than money. Don’t you know that wealth is not revealed in vain? If you show off how much money you have, your relatives and friends will definitely come to borrow it!

Just borrow it, worry about not getting it back. No, I will definitely not come back.

If you don't borrow it, you'll offend someone. Our relatives are not ordinary people and we cannot afford to offend them!

Shen Dongsu pondered for a long time, and finally said to Mr. Pang seriously: "You can report it to the court, but you have to think carefully about how to report it."

"Minimize the contribution of gunpowder and use the weapons developed by the disciples of Momen to wipe it out."

"To exaggerate the enemy's combat effectiveness, our army resisted tenaciously. The whole army was united, and even the nobles joined in. By the way, we also focused on exaggerating the contribution of the imperial envoy."

"That's right, in the entire Youzhou City, except for me, the pregnant princess, who did not go to the battlefield, even the imperial envoys went to the battlefield. We, the army and the people, were united as one, and we were lucky enough to win this battle."

"The losses in Youzhou City were exaggerated. The enemy almost broke through the city, destroyed many towns, set fire to the mountains, and trampled the fields...

The gentleman is more experienced in this area. No matter how miserable it is, the emperor must be thoughtful and it would be best to compensate him with more money. "

Mr. Pang began to frown in disapproval. It felt like his own child was admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, but he could only tell others that he had to work hard to get into an ordinary university.

At this moment, the cry of a baby came from next door, and the princess said from behind the screen: "Sir, sit down for a moment, I will take care of the child."

This cry made Mr. Pang wake up from crying. He laughed at himself. After living a long time, he was still not open to the princess!

Now, neither the princess nor Youzhou City needs the attention of the court, the praise of the people in the world, or the unrealistic reputation.

What is needed is time and low-key development, building infrastructure, absorbing the population, prospering maritime trade, training strong soldiers, hoarding food and grass, improving weapons...

Even with an imperial envoy like Chen Xingyao, the princess was still on guard. What if the real reason for Youzhou's victory spread to Chang'an and the emperor sent another imperial envoy again?

Mr. Pang also heard another meaning from the princess's words. It was just a small battle to defend the city. The people cheered and the soldiers were honored.

Those of us in power cannot let such a small victory get to our heads. If the Tatars are not completely wiped out, the city of Youzhou will not be stable.

Mr. Pang sighed again, the princess's thoughts are like a river!

He quickly figured out how to write this excerpt, asked his servants to get paper and pen, and wrote the rough draft on the spot. When Shen Dongsu came over, he handed it over respectfully.

Shen Dongsu read it roughly and praised:

"Thank you sir for being here! Your writing is excellent, but I think we can mention one more thing. Even if the prince goes on an expedition, there will still be Tatars attacking Youzhou. We need more recruits."

Now Youzhou's military strength far exceeds the number of people allowed by the court. Unlike other states and cities, there will be cases of false reports of military strength in order to take advantage of empty pay.

The situation in Youzhou is that part of the military strength is concealed and the troops are raised in the name of the palace's personal guards, with the princess paying the military salary.

Take this opportunity to normalize some of the troops so that we can recruit more recruits next spring...

As for the post-war reconstruction of Youzhou City, Shen Dongsu does not need to worry about it at all. Youzhou officials are already very experienced. In addition, there is the issue of people from foreign races who have made meritorious deeds and are officially included in the Youzhou household registration.

There were differences among the officials. Some agreed to be like the Han people who were displaced, while others believed that they were not from our race and their minds must be different. You cannot trust them just because you have cooperated with them this time.

After several days of quarreling and no agreement was reached, the foreigners themselves said that they did not want to live in the city and only asked the princess to reward them with a piece of pasture in northern Xinjiang.

Another request is to open up more business rights to them, allow their children to study in colleges, and allow patients to enter medical centers for treatment.

Shen Dongsu felt sad about this request, so he copied the instructions and designated them an autonomous area according to the methods of later generations, but they had to abide by the laws of Youzhou.
