As the New Year passed, more and more people began to pay attention to the army that was going to fight. I wonder what the situation of the Gaochang Kingdom was in the war?

The soldiers of Shenji Camp were particularly concerned because the soldiers of their Shenji Camp were also on the expedition this time, which was also a test of muskets. Although they had sufficient confidence in muskets, muskets that had not been tested on the battlefield were ultimately difficult to convince others.

Just as Li Shimin and the important officials in the court were looking forward to it, several cavalrymen appeared in Chang'an in silence.

Li Shimin personally summoned the general who reported the victory in Liangyi Palace.

Not only Li Shimin, Li Jing, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others all rushed to Liangyi Hall after receiving the news.

Of course, Su Cheng, the initiator of the war, was also indispensable. After receiving the news, he rushed from Sujiazhuang to the palace.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Chief Executive has arrived in Liangzhou, so he sent his ministers to Chang'an to report the victory."

Li Shimin couldn't help but be happy after hearing this. The depression in his heart was wiped out these days and asked repeatedly: "Can the seeds of the white flower be found?"

For Li Shimin, the most important thing he paid was the seeds of white flower, which was also the significance of his sending troops to war.

Although the battle to destroy the country is very glorious and is enough to boast about history books, in his opinion, it is more meaningful than obtaining the seeds of white flower.

"Your Majesty, you have collected 12,000 kilograms of white flower seeds. No one has planted white flower in Gaochang Country, but it is only in the wild. The general manager mobilized all the people of Gaochang Country to collect seeds in special places and brought back all the collected seeds."

The general who received the victory was afraid that the emperor would blame the few white-fold seeds he had obtained, so he explained.

However, when Li Shimin and others heard that Lang Jiang said that there were more than 10,000 kilograms of white flower seeds, they felt relieved. With these seeds planted, more seeds will be harvested this autumn and will be spread throughout the Tang Dynasty next year.

This is much more reliable than Su Cheng's dozens of white flowers. Su Cheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this. This time the Labor Expedition is worth it!

Li Shimin was very happy and laughed: "Okay, okay, I have collected so many white flower seeds. Hou Junji has made great contributions to the court, and the soldiers have made great contributions!"

Wei Zheng, who had always been swaying his face, also smiled and said happily: "It's great. With so many white flower seeds, how many white flower seeds will be produced this winter! From now on, the people of the world will no longer have to be afraid of the cold!"

Cheng Yaojin smiled and said, "It's not bad, Lao Hou has not let everyone down!"

As long as enough white seeds are collected, the strategic purpose of the war will be achieved.

Li Shimin asked with a smile: "Can the war go smoothly? How about the casualties of the soldiers?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the war is very smooth! The army won all three major battles, and the whole journey is unstoppable. Even the royal city of Gaochang Kingdom was captured in less than half a day! The soldiers were injured and killed!" The general who reported the victory said respectfully.

It was beyond everyone's expectations, but it was even more powerful than others to break through the royal city of Gaochang in less than half a day. Is the army of Gaochang too unstoppable, or is Hou Junji's army too powerful?

If you think about it carefully, it seems to be the same.

Li Shimin laughed and said, "No wonder Hou Junji's army arrived in Liangzhou so quickly. It turned out that the war was so smooth, good! Very good! I'm just waiting for the army to redeem the merits and reward them!"

Li Shimin, in a happy mood, then asked, "Where is King Gaochang? Was he captured and fled to the Western Turks?"

"Report to Your Majesty, King Gaochang has died in the Gaochang King City!" The general who reported the victory said respectfully.

Li Shimin felt a little regretful when he heard this. If he could capture King Gaochang alive, there would be more records in the history books. Moreover, he felt that Jie Li was quite lonely in Chang'an, and it would be great if he could gather a few more people to play mahjong together.

Moreover, during the ceremony, there are more people to dance, making it more lively.

However, it doesn’t matter if you don’t capture it alive, anyway, there are more opportunities in the future.

What Li Shimin cares most about is the seeds of white flowering flowers, and the same is true for others. In Wei Zheng's eyes, ten thousand Gaochang kings are not as important as ten thousand kilograms of white flowering flowers.

Su Cheng also felt that as long as the white-folded flower seeds are brought back, it doesn’t matter anything else.

No, there is one more thing that is important, but it is the musket!

I don’t know how the musket is used on the battlefield. If it is not used well, it must be Hou Junji’s problem!

Just as Su Cheng was thinking this way, someone couldn't wait to ask.

This impatient person is Cheng Yaojin.

"Can the soldiers of Shenji Camp go to the battlefield? How powerful is the musket?" Cheng Yaojin asked impatiently.

This sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention, and it cannot be said that everyone was still focused on the ten thousand kilograms of white flower seeds.

The general who reported the victory heard Cheng Yaojin's question, and a hint of envy flashed in his eyes: "The musket is so fierce!"

Only by hearing this sentence, a big stone in Su Cheng's heart fell to the ground.

Hou Junji is very reliable, which means he did not use Shenjiying randomly.

Everyone who had long known the power of the musket was not surprised to hear this. The musket really passed the test on the battlefield!

This is the second biggest surprise today.

It can be said that all the goals of this expedition have been achieved. Not only did they obtain white flower seeds, but they also tested the power of the musket on the battlefield.

Because the journey is too far, no artillery was used this time, but the use of artillery is clear at a glance and there is no need to go through battlefield inspection.

Li Shimin asked with a smile: "Tell me in detail!"

General Lang respectfully said: "The musket is extremely powerful and has a long range. The chief executive praised it!"

The musket is powerful and has a long range. Everyone knows these, and Li Shimin also knows that he can't ask anything about this man. He has to wait until Hou Jun gathers back to the court before he can explain it clearly.

"Okay, you have worked hard all the way, go and rest! When the army returns to the court, I will reward you again according to the merits." Li Shimin waved his hand with a smile.

After the victory of the general retreated, Wei Zheng immediately stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, the number of seeds of 10,000 kilograms of white flowered flowers is much smaller, but it is not too much. When the army escorted the white flowered seeds into the court, it was time for spring plowing. I thought it would be safer to allocate land in Chang'an in advance to try planting white flowered flowers."

It turned out that Wei Zheng had been thinking about planting Baidianhua. He was not very interested in muskets, but he was more concerned about Baidianhua, which was related to people's livelihood.

He was afraid that the local area would not pay attention to it and waste the seeds in vain, which would be more than worth the loss.

Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded after hearing this. Since there were only 10,000 kilograms of white flower seeds, there was no need to transport them to various states and roads for planting. It would be better to draw out land near Chang'an for centralized trial planting.
