The memorial was sent to the emperor, and the imperial edict was returned soon. Three days later, he arrived in Tanglong Town.

Liu Huai was posthumously appointed as the envoy of the Xishangge Gate and the Guozhou regiment, and ordered local officials to visit people of his clan to inherit the following Liu Huai. All fake officials and officials in the Yingtianxiang Army were removed from the word fake officials and changed to the second rank. The second rank was the guarantee of the officers of the entire army. After the military merits were cleared, outstanding officers and soldiers were promoted again. The inner treasury paid one million chunks as a special payment for the officers and soldiers participating in the war.

Of course, the cash would not be sent so quickly. Du Zhongxiao did not agree to send rewards in front of the battlefield, and reported the money to stay in the capital and then take it back after returning to the army. In addition to the rewards given by the officers and soldiers participating in the war, the pensions for the casualties and wounded officers and soldiers were also expensed from it.

Liu Huai's body could only be kept in Tanglong Town for a while. After the local officials found people from his clan, they would take it back for proper burial.

Du Zhongxiao's energy was mainly spent on the aftermath to ensure the morale of an army. At this time, we should not be careless. We should not only take care of the ideas of this era, but also get money when we become a soldier, and we should also try our best to keep the morale of officers and soldiers from being swayed by money. The balance between them is not easy. What Du Zhongxiao did was to classify military merits, no longer just as a basis for one-time rewards, but also to be linked to future promotions and treatments.

Zhou Su entered Du Zhongxiao's hall, saw the documents piled up on the case, and said with his hands: "When the system is ready, the generals learned that General Liu's reward has been received, so they came to report it. When General Liu left, he had a last word--"

Du Zhongxiao said: "After entering the city, I have been busy with affairs. I have not asked in detail. I wonder what Liu Huai had entrusted to him when he died?"

Zhou Su said: "General Liu said that he has been taken care of by the He Da family in Zaoyang County in the past two years and is very grateful. Some of his own savings and the rewards sent by the court are hoped to hand them over to the He Da family. But I see the imperial decree that the court wants to visit his own tribe as the queen and sacrifice in the spring and autumn in the future. In this way, this money cannot be given to He Da family, which is inconsistent with Liu Huai's last words."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Who else has seen this with your own eyes besides you?"

Zhou Su said: "At that time, the army was surrounded, and everyone heard what Liu Huai said in person. Later, the last general also told the general."

Du Zhongxiao said: "What do you say to General Wu? I haven't seen him come to me for a few days."

Zhou Su said: "The meaning of General Wu is to be based on the will of the court. The people who must be found will continue the incense of Liu Huai and sacrifice for generations. The money to congratulate everyone, General Wu and the rest of the people will find a way, and they will send it back together."

Du Zhongxiao thought for a while and said, "Tell Shisanlang that there is no need. I will allocate this money from the army. Also, since Liu Huai has this last words, in addition to giving money, he can ask the He family to clean up his relics in Zaoyang and leave a souvenir."

Zhou Su said, "There is another thing. We sent troops urgently that day. General Liu held a marriage meeting, and both sides were very satisfied. He just walked too fast and did not reply to the girl, for fear of misunderstanding. General Liu was very regretful and mentioned it when he died."

Du Zhongxiao was silent for a while and sighed: "Wars always kill people, and they always have to face these separations and deaths, which will only make people sad. I will write to Li Zhizhou, Suizhou, send some dowry to the woman's house, ask Li Zhizhou to help, and choose a good man to marry. All officers and soldiers who died in the army will do this, and ask the local people to help take care of the family. Those who are young and widowed will pay for marriage and choose a good man to remarry."

After hearing this, Zhou Su felt that Du Zhongxiao had made a good arrangement and went out after thanking him.

Looking at Zhou Su's departure, Du Zhongxiao felt a little sad and got up and paced back and forth. People were going to die when fighting, and they were often familiar with good people around him. The joy of victory after the war was always accompanied by these sad stories.

How to deal with the funeral of the dead of the war is a difficult problem. If you are negligent, you will be sorry to the victims on the battlefield. It is impossible to have all the deaths in battle. Otherwise, how can you face a real hero? Different treatments are easy to cause complaints. It is also a matter of sending troops to fight. Why do some people die more valuable than others? Fairness and justice are simple to say, but difficult to do.

The Yingtianxiang Army is different from the imperial guards. The soldiers are not military. They have families in the local area, so the pension is even more complicated. In addition to subsidies for money and materials, there are also spiritual aspects, such as building the Heroes and Martyrs Temple. The Heroes and Martyrs Temple is a traditional Chinese tradition and its significance is actually similar to the martyrs' cemetery in later generations. It is a spiritual comfort to the war dead and their families. How to do it, who will do it, and where to pay, face many practical problems.

This victory can be seen from Shi Quanbin that the court's attitude towards the Yingtianxiang Army changed drastically. After the war, using the Yingtianxiang Army as a template, it is inevitable to transform the army and establish a new army. In addition to changing weapons, it is still unknown how much the military system changes. Du Zhongxiao hopes that the officers will be professional, while the soldiers will no longer be professional. For the lower-level soldiers, experience is actually not that important. The soldiers may not be able to fight more, but will lead to the atmosphere in the army.

In the past few days, Shi Quanbin has been responsible for investigating the Yu Jingyang case. He is the best at this kind of thing. The eunuchs are not necessarily very capable of doing things in the palace, and their ability to torture confessions is still stronger than Du Zhongxiao.

In a side room in the yamen, Shi Quanbin stared at Yu Jingyang who was kneeling on the ground like an eagle and said, "Yu Jingyang, if you surrender in treason, your life will definitely not be saved. If you cut it with one knife, you will be cheap! What's going on? Let's talk more about this matter so as not to suffer more!"

Yu Jingyang said: "Team training, I have told you everything in the past two days. How can I go about details?"

Shi Quanbin shook his head repeatedly: "There are not enough people. You have been committing evil for so many years, and you finally want to lead the wolf into the house to get rid of the crime. There are only more than fifty people with the party?"

Yu Jingyang said: "Team training, all I can remember is these people, and the rest can't remember their names."

Shi Quanbin said: "Every hour after that, if there is no new name, the Sa family will make you suffer!"

Yu Jingyang closed his eyes, opened it for a while, and shouted loudly: "You have no supervisor or censor when you are trying the case, so you will be punished at any time. Where is the national law? I was sent back by the Khitans because I was blind. I didn't expect that they would do such a thing, just to die! Shi Tuanlian used the torture to force confessions, but he just wanted me to cling to others. How do you face it when the court envoys in the future?"

Shi Quanbin stepped forward and kicked, cursing: "You traitor, you are also worthy of the imperial court! The Sa family will deal with you!"

When Xiao Liangde and Lu Fu returned, they immediately sent Yu Jingyang back. Shi Quanbin did not delay for a moment and slandered him for his punishment, asking him to explain all his accomplices and those who helped him do things clearly. In two days, more than 200 people had been arrested in a small town, and it was very involved.

In addition to instructing him not to harm his family, Du Zhongxiao ignored him. He built this bustling small town and became like this in a few years. How could it be possible to not be cleaned up? Many of the serious businessmen he was once familiar with were forced to leave by Yu Jingyang, and some were even killed by him. The people in the city looked like they were dark.
