The first time in history

At this moment, a white-haired veteran stood up. He walked tremblingly to Qian Mingduo and said, "General, it was not easy for us to fight the bandits this time. Those bandits were very cunning. We were in desperate situations several times, but no one gave up." Qian Mingduo held the veteran's hand and said, "Yes, big brother. Your persistence is the key to our victory. This victory is due to the contribution of each and every one of you."

Among the people who were rewarded, there was a special group of people, that is, the doctors in the army. Doctor Chen was also invited to the reward site.

Qian Mingduo walked up to Doctor Chen and said, "Doctor Chen, this time we fought against the bandits, thanks to you guys who treated the wounded in the rear. You are also heroes on the battlefield." Doctor Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "General, you are too polite. Treating the wounded is my duty. I am satisfied to see the soldiers recover."

There was singing and dancing on the parade ground. A group of women in colorful clothes danced gracefully, adding a joyful atmosphere to the victory celebration. The soldiers ate meat and drank wine while enjoying the singing and dancing, laughing and talking.

Qian Mingduo looked at the lively scene and said to Wen Yujun: "This victory was hard-won. We need to rest well, but we must not let down our guard. We must continue to protect this land and let the people live and work in peace and contentment."

Wen Yujun nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord. We brothers are all holding back our energy. As long as we are here, there will be no more wars in this land."

As night fell, a bonfire was lit, illuminating the entire parade ground. Soldiers gathered around the fire, some singing and some telling stories from the battlefield. Qian Mingduo also joined in, sharing the joy of victory with the soldiers.

At this moment, they are no longer superiors and subordinates, but brothers who share life and death. They celebrate the hard-won victory together and look forward to future peace and tranquility.

This reward to the three armies is not only a reward for the soldiers, but also a force to unite the people. After this, Qian Mingduo and his army will continue to guard this land and become the eternal guardian in the hearts of the people.

Qian Mingduo wrote a detailed memorial about the bandit suppression. In the memorial, he did not sing praises for himself, but praised the merits of Wen Yujun and other soldiers who fought bravely against the enemy. He also earnestly asked Emperor Gaozong for rewards for everyone.

When many memorials were presented to Zhao Gou's imperial desk, another memorial was also unfolded in front of Emperor Gaozong. It was a memorial written by Zhang Bingcheng, the deputy general of the garrison in Jiankang Prefecture.

One thing that is slightly different from Qian Mingduo's memorial is that Zhang Bingcheng described Qian Mingduo in his memorial as a general who was calm in command and good at making plans.

What surprised Emperor Gaozong was that he had always thought that Qian Mingduo was just a very talented scholar. However, the words in Zhang Bingcheng's memorial revealed that Qian Mingduo was a rare military talent.

Zhao Gou stood up and paced slowly in the imperial study. Since ancient times, there have been literati commanding battles, but they were all commanders who made plans in the rear. There were very few civil servants like Qian Mingduo who personally went into battle to kill the enemy.

"Cao Junjie, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, is here to see me." Emperor Gaozong turned to the eunuch beside him and said, "Order him to come to the palace immediately. Tell him that I have something important to discuss with him."
