[Chapter 233 Chapter 233 I want to have a drink with my brother-in-law...]
This time, Shen Junshan and his men did indeed directly enter the capital of Xinda State.
They were lucky, after all.
This expedition happened to coincide with the time when the king of Xinda was seriously ill, and his sons put more energy into fighting for the throne, so their fighting effectiveness was lower than before.
You should know that the army of Xinda Kingdom has always been known for its fierceness and bravery. Wushuang Kingdom has fought with them several times, and the wins and losses are basically 50-50.
Moreover, for the Wushuang Kingdom, because the battle line is too long, even if they win, there will usually be great losses.
Shen Junshan said that this time they followed the contents of the three magical books sent by Cheng Liyan on "Prevention and Treatment of Frostbite" and "How to Conduct Cold Resistance Training", and consciously trained the soldiers while marching.
At the same time, according to the instructions in the book, sufficient cold-resistant supplies were collected.
So this expedition was the only one among many battles in which there were basically no casualties on the march.
Not only that, the combat tactics such as positional warfare, offensive warfare, defensive warfare, and group warfare taught in the book also opened their eyes to the world.
In particular, the various combat formations listed in the group battles played a crucial role in their victory this time.
If not for this, General Chen would not have been so excited to present the most valuable spoils of war to Yuyao.
You know, none of the tributes he presented to the emperor was better or more valuable than this.
Shen Junshan also said that the Xinda Kingdom suffered heavy losses in this battle.
The king passed away, and the new king's foundation was unstable. It was estimated that there would be no major confrontation between the two countries for at least ten years.
This time when he came back, Shen Junshan was rewarded. His official rank was promoted twice, and now he is the deputy commander of General Chen, and can also be called a junior general.
Cheng Liyan felt extremely itchy after reading the letter from his second uncle.
Which soldier doesn’t yearn for the battlefield?
Don’t you yearn for this kind of face-to-face, exhilarating fight?
Although he knew he couldn't go, he couldn't help but imagine what he would do in that situation. How would he command?
So for the next two months, he and Shen Junshan exchanged letters almost every day.
Shen Yuyao felt like she was a special post office at this moment.
The first thing I do when I open my eyes every day is to check my space to receive messages, and the last thing I do before going to bed is to deliver a letter to my second brother on behalf of the man.
It left her speechless.
But Lang and his uncle were obviously enjoying it.
Not only did the letters grow thicker and thicker, Cheng Liyan even brought back a blackboard and placed it in the cabin.
Every day when I had nothing to do, I would draw a battle map on the blackboard and review it over and over again.
Shen Yuyao felt that this man probably knew more about the Xinda Kingdom than many of the serious generals of the Wushuang Kingdom!
Of course, Cheng Liyan finally received the gift from his second uncle as he wished.
A scimitar that was also said to have been obtained from the imperial palace.
The knife was about a foot long and was decorated extremely gorgeously.
The scabbard and the handle are decorated with many gems, including eight rubies that are bigger than the tip of a thumb, not to mention other gems of various colors.
When the knife was taken out, even Shen Yuyao couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, thinking it was extremely dazzling.
But Cheng Liyan didn't like it.
Not only do I dislike it, I also despise it.
He weighed it in his hand, pulled out the blade, felt it, and then handed it back to Shen Yuyao.
Then he muttered in disappointment: "It's just a showpiece."
It can be seen that the gift sent by his second uncle did not touch his heart at all.
However, no matter how unhappy he was, Cheng Liyan still gave Shen Junshan a telescope from his collection as a return gift.
And this telescope made Shen Junshan overjoyed!
From the words in his reply, it can be seen that he wished he could be passed from the jade plate along with those objects.
"It's good to drink and chat happily with my brother-in-law, and sleep with our feet together."
It was so corny that Shen Yuyao almost rolled her eyes to the sky.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye a year has passed, and it is now the year 1970.
This year, Shen Yuyao has turned twenty years old.
The past year has been relatively smooth, with basically nothing major happening.
It was nothing more than that the cloth produced by Textile Factory No. 1 using the pattern purchased from Shen Yuyao won a grand prize at the National Textile Expo.
Afterwards, the factory issued a letter of appointment to Shen Yuyao, inviting her to be the factory's honorary designer.
The factory has the first right to choose the new designs she designs, but of course the purchase price is still 150 yuan per piece.
After receiving this news, Factory 2 also extended an olive branch to Shen Yuyao.
The conditions they offered were more favorable than those offered by the first factory.
They directly proposed to transfer Shen Yuyao to the design department of the second factory and directly promote her to deputy director.
You know, textile factories are good companies these days.
What's more, it's still a dry adjustment!
How many people remain workers their entire lives, with no chance to be transferred to become cadres!
After learning the news, even Master Ding Cuizhen was shaken and advised Shen Yuyao to think carefully.
But Shen Yuyao still refused.
She admits that she is not a particularly positive person and does not have that much competitive spirit.
She felt that she was doing a good job in the department store and there was no need to transfer just for a cadre position.
What's more, the previous competition left her with a very bad impression of the Second Textile Factory, and she felt that it was a pool of muddy water.
She didn't want to get involved in that muddy water.
It’s not like the family is so poor that they can’t survive.
In addition to Shen Yuyao's rejection of the invitation to transfer, another big event was Cheng Liyan's promotion.
He has now been transferred to the training and operations department of the division headquarters as director, in charge of the military training of various units.
It can also be considered as business counterparts.
Although he is still a regimental-level cadre, his military rank has been raised one level.
In other words, in two years at most or if he gains military merit once more, he will be able to break through the regimental level and be directly promoted to a division-level cadre.
Xiao Mei has now adapted well to the department store and is now considered a veteran employee.
Although I couldn't get a permanent job, I still got the top salary among temporary workers.
After getting various subsidies, you can get between 25 and 28 yuan a month.
Apart from the three yuan monthly rent, Xiao Mei has no other expenses, and her life is quite comfortable.
As for why Shen Yuyao had to pay five yuan in rent when she lived in that house, but when she came to Xiao Mei's place, Mrs. Qian only charged her three yuan?
There is naturally a reason for this.
