At this moment, the battle had just ended. Be it the Xuan Manor, Datong Town, or the Northern Expedition Army, there were many things to do.
The situation of the battle, the prisoners, and the spoils of war had to be reported in detail.
The entire Central Army Festival Hall fell into a lively atmosphere.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Jia Fou. He was just a small lieutenant, not a high-ranking general.
"System, begin signing in!"
In his boredom, Jia Fou remembered that he hadn't completed today's check-in yet, so he muttered in his heart.
Ding dong, sign in to the Central Army Festival Hall.
Congratulations to the host for successfully obtaining 3,000 Overlord Cavalry!
Whoosh!
The sudden mechanical notification in his mind almost made Jia Fou cry out in surprise.
Good fellow!
He had given five hundred of the three thousand Overlord Cavalry he had obtained to Namu Qiqige, and another five hundred to escort the Tartar captives back to the capital.
The remaining two thousand were almost completely wiped out in this battle, leaving less than a thousand cavalry. Most of them were heavily injured, and a few were lightly injured.
It meant that after this battle, Jia Cong had become a commander without any soldiers.
But now that the system had signed in another three thousand Overlord Cavalry, he had something to rely on.
Regardless of whether it was in the Divine Capital or in Jiubian, one had to have soldiers in their hands in order to not panic.
In this battle, Jia Mou had fully realized the strength of the Overlord Cavalry. The three thousand Overlord Cavalry had slaughtered the nearly ten thousand cavalrymen guarding the Tartar Palace without a single casualty. However, the two thousand Overlord Cavalry had completely annihilated the three thousand elite Celestial Wolf Cavalry of the Tartar Empire. They even had the strength to fight.
In this world, which army could be more ferocious than the Overlord Cavalry under his command?
Moreover, this battle was already over, and the messenger had already set off. Presumably, they would arrive at the Divine Capital in less than three days.
At that time, Jia He and the generals of the Northern Expedition Army would return to the capital to receive their rewards.
At that time, many people would not be able to stand Jia Cui, including the one in the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
With these three thousand Overlord Cavalry in hand, Jia Fou could swagger into the Divine Capital!
"Lieutenant Biao Yao!"
"Nephew!"
Just as Jia Cui was deep in thought, two soft shouts suddenly woke him up.
Jia Fou raised his head and looked at Niu Jizong with a blank expression.
"Haha."
"Looks like our Marquis Champion is tired.”
"Then let's end today's discussion here.”
"Liu Fang, bring Jia Cui to pack some things later.”
Niu Jizong smiled as he instructed.
"Alright."
The general of the rear guard, the first uncle of the Duke of Li Mansion, Liu Fang, answered readily.
All the generals left the Central Army Festival Hall. After fighting for an entire morning, they were all physically and mentally exhausted and needed a good rest.
"Pa!"
At this moment, the first uncle of the Duke of Li's Public House, Liu Fang, came to Jia Fu's side and patted him on the shoulder.
"General of the rear guard!"
Jia Fou immediately reacted and bowed slightly.
Hearing this, Liu Fang said with a warm expression,"The military should address each other with military titles."”
"But now that the war is over, you and I are good friends. If you don't mind, you can call me uncle.”
"Uncle!"
Jia Cong answered without hesitation.
What a joke!
How could he refuse to climb up the ladder?
Among the founding fathers, only the Zhenguo Public House, the Liguo Public House, and the Xiuguo Public House could do anything.
Niu Jizong and the other two had made great contributions to the battle with the Tartars. After returning to the capital, their titles would naturally rise.
At that time, Niu Jizong would at least be a hereditary third class marquis, and Liu Fang and Hou Xiaokang would also be a hereditary third class earl.
With these three people looking after him, Jia Mou would have a foundation in the capital and would have a lot of help when managing his own power.
"Hahaha."
Liu Fang laughed heartily when she saw Jia Cui call him uncle so readily.
She grabbed his arm and walked out of the hall.
A moment later.
The two of them arrived at a camp.
"Uncle Liu, this is…"
Looking around, Jia Fou was a little dazzled.
All kinds of armors were piled up into mountains, and there were also many golden sabers, jewelry, and other items.
From the looks of it, they had gathered all the spoils of war here.
"Nephew is still young, and this is the first time he's been to war with the army, so he doesn't know much about the military.”
"Ever since the founding of the dynasty, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Ming Dynasty, the powers and responsibilities of the civil and military have become clearer.”
"The Bureau of Military Personnel is only in charge of recruiting soldiers, training new soldiers, and forging armor. It doesn't have any specific responsibilities for the army.”
"Thus, as the rear guard general, I am not only in charge of the rear, but also the entire rear army.”
"All the wounded, rations, supplies, and spoils will be handed over to me, and then distributed to the various divisions.”
"According to military tradition, the army will give out some 'souvenirs' before returning to the division, from generals to soldiers.”
"In this battle, you contributed the most, so your Uncle Niu specially instructed you to choose first.”
"As long as you are here, take whatever you like. There's no need to be polite.”
"Without you leading the army to reinforce us, the outcome of today's battle might not be certain!”
Liu Fang pointed at everything around her and said straightforwardly.
Instantly.
Jia Fou somewhat understood.
Battles in the army were tough, and if there was only the court's salary and compensation, it would be difficult for both the generals and soldiers to maintain.
Therefore, the act of privately dividing the spoils of war could be considered as bringing some additional income to the generals and soldiers, so as not to disappoint the army.
Since Liu Fang had said so, it was natural that all the generals had agreed, so Jia Cong did not hesitate and started to pick in the camp.
The jewelry, the golden sword, and the jade bow that were close to his eyes were all pulled into his arms.
For the sake of convenience, Liu Fang had arranged for two scribes to follow him and record everything that Jia Fou had ordered. They would then send it to the camp of the Overlord Cavalry.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly.
Jia Fou stopped at a tent.
There were some special armors piled up in the tent, like a whole piece of silver-plated iron breastplate, as well as helmets and other items.
These breastplates were engraved with the pattern of a double-winged wolf, and they were extremely exquisite.
The reason why Jia Fu was interested in this was because these armors were different from the Eastern armors, but were genuine Western plate armors.
In the late 15th century, with the advent of the technology of rolling metal plates, metal breastplates appeared in Europe.
The front half and the back half were connected by a ring and a chain or an iron belt, and the bottom was fastened by a belt.
In Europe, knights were a true noble class. All their breastplates were inlaid with ornaments or embellished with patterns, and they were plated with gold or copper.
Breastplates usually weighed 6 to 10 kilograms and were 1 to 3.5 millimeters thick. They were light and had decent defense, making them more suitable for light cavalry to gallop through the grasslands.
