“Great victory in Yunzhou!” The losses were heavy. "
"Within ten years, there will be no more wars in Yunzhou!"
"..."
Hitchhiking news has been coming in these days, and the whole Yunzhou is full of joy, and even the Jiang family's business has improved a lot.
Yang Ling led 100,000 frontier soldiers and fought with seven or eight grassland tribes bordering Yunzhou for a whole month, and the people had almost harvested the crops in the fields.
Yunzhou will have a good harvest and enjoy several years of peace in the future.
Before Yang Ling came to Yunzhou to take office, the people of Yunzhou didn't even dare to think about such a day, but now it has become a reality.
"Master, Mr. Yang Ling is here to pay back the money!"
The housekeeper of the Jiang Mansion jogged all the way to Jiang Yuan's courtyard and said with joy.
"Hurry up, please!"
"Forget it, I'll go out to greet you personally!"
Jiang Yuan nodded when he heard this, and then walked directly out of the gate.
Wars are fought for money, but the victors of wars often also gain a large amount of wealth.
Are the prairie people poor?
In a sense, they are indeed very poor, lacking food and clothing.
But they are not that poor.
Because there are gold, silver, iron, copper, jade and other minerals on the grassland, as well as cattle, sheep, war horses and other materials everywhere.
Prairie people have no concept of currency and all barter. However, prairie people like to use gold, silver and jade as ornaments.
This time Yang Ling led a hundred thousand frontier troops across the grassland and harvested a large amount of loot. There were mountains of gold, silver, jade, and countless cattle, sheep, and war horses.
This time not only did the border troops receive post-war pensions, but the border troops also made a lot of money.
The treasury of Yunzhou Prefecture has also become full, and the ten million taels of silver that Yunzhou Prefecture owes Jiang Yuan has also been settled.
"Master Yang Ling actually sent the money in person, which really frightens the villain."
"By the way, I haven't congratulated you sir on the great victory in Yunzhou. From now on, the people of Yunzhou can live in peace for a few more years, and good days for us merchants are coming."
Jiang Yuan bowed towards Yang Ling and said.
"This great victory in Yunzhou should be half of the credit of Mr. Jiang."
"Without Mr. Jiang's generous donation, our Yunzhou would be in danger!"
"This is one million taels of gold, all smelted from the gold ore snatched from the grassland."
"There are also several boxes of jades, jewelry, weapons and other gadgets, which are considered as the war dividends I gave to Mr. Jiang."
Yang Ling was in a good mood and said with a smile.
Although the frontier troops suffered heavy losses in this battle, more than 30,000 people were killed and 20,000 were seriously injured. Almost all of the remaining 50,000 suffered losses.
But several large grassland tribes near Yunzhou were almost destroyed by him, and as for the dozens of small and medium-sized tribes, they were all killed!
Now Yang Ling has a very fierce reputation on the grassland. People in the grassland have given him many nicknames, such as Yang Beheading, Human Slaughter, and Executioner.
He thinks these nicknames are good and they fit his temperament very well!
He has also heard a lot of rumors about Yang Ling during this time.
It is said that Emperor Daye once issued a decree and ordered Yang Ling to execute all the captives of the prairie tribes who were higher than the wheel. As a result, he directly leveled the wheel.
Because of this incident, he was also criticized by the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government, who thought that he was too extreme and acted ruthlessly, which resulted in the failure of his promotion.
However, Jiang Yuan felt that Yang Ling did this on purpose, and he did not want to leave Yunzhou at all.
Although Yunzhou is a border state capital and not as prosperous as Zhongzhou, the mountains here are high and the emperor is far away. Yangling, the Yunzhou Shepherd, is the local emperor of Yunzhou.
Especially after he leads a hundred thousand troops and horses on the grassland and destroys all the tribes in the grassland, his prestige in Yunzhou will surpass that of all previous governors in Yunzhou.
He may become the real master of Yunzhou in the future!
Yang Ling left Yanyun County after having lunch in Jiang Mansion and rushed back to Yunzhou City. Now Yunzhou City had too many things that he needed to deal with.
After Yang Ling left, Jiang Yuan began to immerse himself in cultivation day after day and year after year.
He knew that his martial arts qualifications were not good, so he had to work harder. If others practiced martial arts for one hour a day, he would practice martial arts for ten hours.
The stupid bird flies first, and diligence can make up for his weakness, which he exploited to the extreme.
"Sir, that Yu Wenye has all given up!"
"This is the first-class inheritance of the "Cang Lang Sun-Chasing Breathing Method" he practiced. This breathing method comes from the same lineage as the "Sirian Wolf Roaring Moon Breathing Method" practiced by Tuoba Tianzong, the wolf leader of the Tianlang tribe.
Ye Xiao, who has practiced the "Dragon Overturning the Sea Breathing Technique" and has broken through to become a third-level warrior, came to Jiang Yuan's courtyard excitedly and spoke very excitedly.
"Confirmed?"
"Have you checked with him again to confirm?"
Jiang Yuan casually flipped through the "Cang Lang Daily Breathing Method" and asked.
“We correct more than a dozen editions of the "Cang Lang's Daily Breathing Technique" written by Yu Wenye, and ask him to find the errors in it; and then submit it after confirming it again and again; "
Ye Xiao said.
Jiang Yuan gave another instruction.
Hence, after getting the "Jiaolong Sea Breathing Method", his first thought was to give it to Ye Xiao to practice and see if it was suitable.
Just as Qin Meng said at the beginning, this "Dragon-Crossing Sea Breathing Method" is very compatible with Ye Xiao's Eagle Claw Technique, and Ye Xiao also took this opportunity to break through and become a third-level warrior.
Today, there are three third-grade warriors in the Jiang family.
It is worth mentioning that Jiang Feiyu has made rapid progress after modifying the "Whale Swallowing Heaven and Earth Breathing Method" and has become a fourth-level warrior. He believes that he can become a third-level warrior in a few years.
She definitely has the potential to become a first-class warrior in her lifetime!
Except for her, the other children of the Jiang family who have good martial arts qualifications have basically modified one of the three top breathing methods: "Whale Swallowing Heaven and Earth Breathing Method", "Dragon Overturning Sea Breathing Method" and "Tiger Eating Ghost Breathing Method".
I believe that with Jiang Yuan’s training and the help of the Jiang family’s various martial arts resources, they can all become upper-level third-level warriors in the future!
The Jiang family now looks more and more like a martial arts family.
Spring passed and autumn came, and five years passed in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Yuan is 81 years old this year. His eldest son in this life has passed away for more than two years. His second son is also in poor health and does not seem to have a few years to live.
The third son's physical condition is relatively good, but there is no telling whether he can survive Jiang Yuan.
In the past five years, Jiang Yuan's martial arts cultivation has made further progress, turning his strength into gang strength, and breaking through to the second-grade gang strength level.
However, he has recently felt that his martial arts practice has become more and more inadequate, and his blood has been severely depleted. He feels that the possibility of breaking through and becoming a first-class warrior in the rest of his life is slim.
The second-grade warrior may have reached his limit.
This is already a miracle for an old farmer with mediocre martial arts qualifications who only started practicing martial arts at the age of sixty.
But he still refused to give up and still wanted to try to see if he could break through and become a first-grade warrior. He would spend the rest of his life pushing his martial arts cultivation to the second-grade perfection, and then try to challenge a first-grade warrior before he died!
