From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 620

There is no need to make too many arrangements at home, as the three girls already have their own division of labor.

Qu Ling is very good at managing money, not to mention that the Duke's Mansion is now in its heyday, and everyone has to give some face, so there is definitely no problem in making some money to support the family.

Jianjia has the demeanor of a doctor, and now she has the help of her mother-in-law, so there will definitely be no mistakes, and there is no need to worry about the atmosphere in the mansion.

Madam Xue is also staying here temporarily, and with Chen as a companion, she finally has someone to talk to, so Ningyue also feels lively and happy.

But this family has just reunited for a short time, and they have to face separation again.

Zhou Yuan picked up the wine glass and said in a deep voice: "Two mothers-in-law, ladies, a short separation is for a better reunion. I don't want to be sentimental today, just speak bold words."

"Thirteen years ago, the Mongolian cavalry took over and attacked Datong. My father-in-law led the army to resist, but unfortunately he was defeated and dismissed from office. He was not reinstated until the year before."

"Now the Mongolian cavalry is coming again. As a son-in-law, I, Zhou Yuan, should wash away the shame for my father-in-law."

"This time, I will completely destroy them and completely establish peace in the northern grasslands, so that there will be no more wars in the Jin Dynasty from Gansu Town to Xuanfu."

He drank the wine in the glass, and felt the hotness in his throat, and his whole body became hot.

Qu Ling was stunned for a moment, and was the first to applaud, and couldn't help but excitedly said: "My husband said it well! We must completely defeat those bandits, so that they won't come to harass us every year."

Mrs. Xue also said: "Zi Yi, your father-in-law dreams of washing away his shame. If you can do it this time, he will have no regrets."

Zhou Yuan said: "Suppress Mongolia in the north, attack Jurchen in the east, set sail in the South Seas, and change the land to the people. If these four major things are done well, the world can be peaceful and the Great Jin can enjoy a hundred years of prosperity."

"Everything starts from Mongolia!"

"Everyone, wait for my good news!"

The carriage has been prepared, the things have been packed, and Zhou Yuan went directly to the Beijing camp.

The army was reorganized and the logistics and supplies had been prepared. Now everything is finally ready, only the east wind is missing.

Zhou Yuan gave an order, and the five military camps and 60,000 soldiers could leave Shenjing together.

As for the Shenji Camp and the Three Thousand Camps, they are still in the process of reorganization and are not enough to undertake such a critical task at present.

However, Zhou Yuan also promised them to train well and they would have a chance to regain their reputation in the future.

These few days, Zhou Yuan will stay in the military camp, on the one hand to prepare for the war, on the other hand to mobilize the momentum of the entire army.

The date has been set.

On the first day of September, the army will set out.

At the morning court the day before, Empress Zhao Jing issued an imperial edict.

"Appoint Duke Zhou Yuan of Weiguo as the Grand Marshal of Weiguo and the Governor-General of the four provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, and control all the troops of the six towns of Gansu, Ningxia, Yansui, Guyuan, Sanguan and Datong, and take over all the military and political powers of the four provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Ningxia and Gansu. All the important tasks of the four provinces are to fight against Mongolia. Officials from top to bottom must work together to beat back the Mongolian barbarians!"

"The Inner Court and the Jinyiwei should focus on the north and fully cooperate with Duke Weiguo to go to war."

Under the attention of all the court officials, Zhou Yuan accepted the imperial edict and said loudly: "I will lead the golden weapons and iron horses of the Great Jin to wash away the shame of the past, boost the national prestige of our Great Jin, restore the dignity of our Great Jin, and eliminate the Mongolian army in one fell swoop, laying the foundation for peace in the northern grasslands."

Sometimes, such ceremonial words make people laugh in their hearts.

But in such a difficult and dangerous time, such words make people respect in their hearts.

Yang Guozhong and others couldn't help but look at Zhou Yuan, their eyes flickering, and finally bowed.

After receiving the imperial edict, Zhou Yuan took a last look at Shenjing City, and left without looking back.

He didn't know when he could come back, he only knew that everything would be different from the past from this moment on.

In the past, he served the court from the bottom of his heart and fought for his eldest sister.

Now, he fights for himself and conquers the country.

"Duke Weiguo! Our Great Jin depends on you!"

I don't know who shouted, but a large number of people rushed out of the city gate, countless.

These people in Shenjing knew Zhou Yuan best, and they shouted: "Duke Weiguo is going to go to war again! Duke Weiguo, you must beat back those Mongolian barbarians!"

"I am from Shanxi, please ask Duke Weiguo to keep Shanxi!"

"I am from Yulin Town, Duke, my parents are still there!"

Shenjing, gathered people from all over the world, and these people came for their hometown.

An old man in a long gown shouted, "Duke! Take care of yourself!"

Then, countless scholars in long gowns came out and read the manifesto in unison.

"There are barbarians in the north, cunning and treacherous, wearing human skins, with wolf hearts, not farming, not reading the holy teachings, robbing and plundering, and invading our borders..."

TheirThe voice overwhelmed all the shouts, and the roar sounded outside the city, enough to shake the mountains and rivers, and disturb the world.

Looking carefully, there are few old people among them, most of them are young children, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with passionate eyes.

Every generation of young people is controversial and is considered a lost generation.

But whenever a big event comes and a critical moment comes, there are always countless young people who stand up and devote their youthful strength.

This world is no exception.

Zhou Yuan clasped his fists to everyone and finally rode away.

When they arrived at the parade ground of the Fifth Army Camp, the 60,000 troops were neatly lined up.

After several wars and so much time, they are no longer the remnants of the defeated army.

Each of them is like a sword, with iron bones and a sharp cold light.

With such a team, Zhou Yuan is confident that he can defeat any enemy!

He walked up to the platform and shouted, "In the past hundred years, the Mongolian army has repeatedly invaded our northwest border, coming and going freely, taking whatever they want, and we are almost unable to match them."

"Some people say that the Mongolian cavalry is even worse than the Jurchen cavalry."

"Some people say that they can fight ten or even a hundred at once."

"I believe all these words, but I want to tell them with practical actions that the iron will of my Fifth Army Camp can destroy any flesh and blood."

He picked up a bowl of strong liquor and shouted, "During the New Year's Day two years ago! In the ice and snow of Miyun Lake! I, Zhou Yuan, knelt with you for two days!"

"I promised you at that time! I will let you avenge your shame!"

"I did it "Now, I, Zhou Yuan, want to make another promise to you! I will lead you... to conquer the Wolf's Lair! Drink from the vast sea! Leave your name in history!" "No matter how many years pass! Future generations will always mention history! They will think of the most capable army in history, the army with the most brilliant record... I want them to choose the Five Camps of the Great Jin Dynasty without hesitation!" "Brothers! Arms and horses! Trampling the grassland! Are you ready!" 60,000 soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill! Kill! Kill!" Zhou Yuan drank the liquor in one gulp and roared: "Go!" The mighty army set out from the camp, from the outside of the southern city of Shenjing, all the way west to Datong Town. The iron stream was mighty, and countless people looked at this magnificent scene and roared. Everyone knew what this army was carrying. It is the shame of being invaded from the south for hundreds of years, the injustice and shame of countless soldiers who died on the battlefield, the direction of a country's destiny, and the different paths of the world and the progress of the times.

The wars in the south and the north are the ambitions of the warriors.
