"Damn it, as a lieutenant, you actually dare to capture a woman. Do you have a semen in your head and don't know what to do? In this place of war, how can you act recklessly?"

When he learned that Na Shan had captured hundreds of women and escorted them to the military camp, Pan Chongche became furious and his temper broke out instantly. Na Shan immediately prostrated himself on the ground and trembled, not daring to say anything.

After a while, Na Shan raised his head and said softly: "These women we brought back are intended to be presented to the emperor. We don't dare to enjoy them ourselves, but we still know the rules!"

"We have also selected a few good ones to give to you -"

Hearing this, Pan Chongche was not only unhappy, but also became more and more angry: "I don't need you to give me a woman. I wouldn't have cut off your head long ago because of your great achievements."

"Uncle, we, many of our men have killed ten households, how should we reward the ones who follow? Moreover, according to the rules, more than twenty households have already made meritorious deeds. Can they be promoted?"

"These five hundred of us have been killing people these days, our knives have become dull, and we have fewer and fewer brothers. What should we do?"

"General——" the voice of the bodyguard came from outside the tent.

"What's wrong?" Pan Chongche was a little confused.

"The Meishan barbarians sent an envoy to surrender to the king..."

In the main room of Prince Chu's Mansion, Zhou Ying'er carefully took her coat and put it on Li Jia, with a gentle smile on her pretty face.

Once upon a time, a girl turned into a young woman. Time is really a butcher's knife. Although it only took a few months, the lively girl became a virtuous and virtuous queen. Li Jia was deeply moved.

"Husband, do you want to have breakfast here?" She asked softly as she helped her husband put on his clothes.

"Yeah!" Li Jia responded casually. He didn't care much about where to have breakfast, and he was immersed in the memorial. He had been away from Lingnan for a long time, and the undecided memorials could only be sent to Hunan quickly.

It is up to the emperor to decide.

It's just... I glanced sideways at Queen Zhou Ying'er who was standing next to me. Although she was a queen, she was considerate, graceful, and had a lovely smile on her pretty face. Her whole body was filled with a sense of sunshine.

In this rainy weather, it looks so comfortable, even the memorial is not attractive...

"Just let a few of them take care of you when you wash up. As a queen, you should behave like a queen and don't do everything yourself." Seeing several maids coming in with toiletries, Li Jia said with a smile.

"It's Ying'er's blessing to be able to serve everyone, but you can't do it to others!" Zhou Ying'er winked playfully, and then helped the emperor wash up, without any intention of being obedient.

"After all, it won't be long before His Majesty won't be able to see me for so long..."

"Hey, are you jealous?" Li Jia couldn't help but touch Zhou Ying'er's pretty face and explained softly:

"I am the emperor, I can't help myself!"

"It is also necessary to enrich the harem. However, although there are many concubines, there is only one queen. This cannot be changed no matter what. Please relax——"

"I know it, but I just feel uncomfortable in my heart!" Zhou Ying'er said coyly. When she thought of those pretty girls competing for beauty in the palace, just like spring flowers, even she felt a little ashamed.

Although she is a queen, it is difficult to be favored. Women will always grow old, and this insecurity will gradually increase as time goes by.

"Your Majesty, Uncle Liling would like to see you——"

Just when the two were getting intimate, the eunuch's voice came from outside the door. Li Jia then patted the queen's little head and said, "Ask him to go to the study and wait for me -"

"promise--"

"I still have something to do, and I'll come back to accompany you later!" Li Jia said softly.

Surrounded by the eunuchs and maids, Li Jia slowly came to the study. Along the way, he was thinking about what Pan Chongche wanted to do with him. Could it be that something happened in Lizhou?

It's only over a hundred miles away, what's the point of arriving in Langzhou?

"I have met your Majesty!" Pan Chongche was very polite, well-mannered, and very respectful. Li Jia looked at him with more gentle eyes. The more generals like this, the better.

It is not unreasonable for the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty to castrate his generals...

"Why is Uncle Liling looking for me?" Li Jia sat down, looked at his thinking eyes, and asked directly.

"Reporting to your Majesty, our flag soldiers have killed many enemies and made outstanding achievements in recent times. We are here to ask for credit for them!" Pan Chongche said with a smile.

"Oh? This is just a lot of effort, do you need to take credit for it? Tell me quickly, how is it!" Li Jia was a little surprised. It has only been a few days, is it possible that the Eight Banners Soldiers are so easy to use and have immediate results?

"Yes, Your Majesty, the flag soldiers fought bravely and waded through mountains and rivers. When it comes to defeating the Meishan barbarians, they are invincible."

"Then let's talk about it!"

"In the past half month, the four banners and 6,000 people have killed 12,16 heads, and the number of tribes and clans wiped out has reached 36. All verifications are complete and correct."

"Moreover, the Meishan barbarians have already been killed, and now they are sending people here to ask for peace..."

"Suing for peace? So soon? My army has not moved, but just sending flag soldiers will have any effect. The reward must be generous."

Li Jia was extremely happy. This proved that the Eight Banners system had adapted to this time and was suitable for large-scale promotion. It was true that barbarism was used to control barbarism.

There were tens of thousands of Meishan barbarians, but in just half a month, they lost several percent of their population. If they continued, they had no choice but to migrate westward, otherwise they would have to be wiped out one by one by the banner soldiers, and then converted into meritorious deeds.

As for the rewarded land, a large part of it was freed outside Lizhou City, which could meet the needs of the banner soldiers. White Wolf solved the Meishan Barbarian Rebellion with nothing, and the cost was minimal.

"It's just that, Your Majesty, despite their outstanding achievements, the flag soldiers have suffered serious losses. They have lost more than 30%. There are only about 4,000 people left. They are unable to fight anymore. If they are not replenished, the flag soldiers will be useless!"

Pan Chongche remembered the benefits of the flag soldiers. He had achieved great military exploits for no reason. He felt so comfortable. He couldn't bear to have such a good army abandoned.

In fact, not only Pan Chongche was reluctant to part with it, but Li Jia was also reluctant to part with it. If these flag soldiers who had seen blood were replenished properly, they would become elite soldiers in a few months. Their combat capabilities should not be underestimated, and they might even be a bit better than the Forbidden Army.

"Meishan wants to surrender? You can!" Li Jia changed his voice and said: "Hand over the tribe that attacked the Han people, the leader will kill them, and the rest of the tribe will be demoted to slaves. The flag soldiers just rewarded the fields with no one to cultivate them, so they went to plow the fields.

Bar!"

"For the tribes that participated in the siege this time, ordinary men joined the flags, and the flag soldiers were expanded to eight flags, with red, blue, yellow, and white flags added. Four flags were added. Above the subordinates, a staff leader was set up to command the three subordinates.

The banner has been expanded to 3,000 people, so these leaders who have made great contributions over time should be promoted!"
