Chapter Forty-Nine

The road to the west is not easy to walk, when Tang Seng went to the west, the road went through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties. Now that Tang Ning is walking west, he encounters bandits of all sizes on the road, and there are almost ninety-nine eighty-one groups.

When they came out, they were 3,000 Zhenjiang troops, and when they arrived at Qinfeng Road, 200 people stayed on the way forever.

But to be honest, the treatment of these 200 people made the other soldiers envious. Because of the suppression of bandits along the way, the Zhenjiang army has accumulated a lot of very considerable wealth.

If those gold, silver, jewelry, large and small treasures and playthings are exchanged for real money, silver, grain, grass and ordnance, it is enough for the 3,000 soldiers of the Zhenjiang Army to be stunned for two years.

In addition, with such a leader as Tang Ning, in the Zhenjiang Army, the treatment of the fallen soldiers is very generous, and the pension is enough to make the families of the fallen soldiers worry about food and clothing for the next life.

I have to say here that Tang Ning is using his power and still has some skills to play coordination with the government. Tang Ning didn't want his soldiers to become mercenaries who only recognized money.

He hoped that in the past or in the future, those who joined the Zhenjiang Army would come in favor of the government's policies. In this way, these people have the blood to defend this country and defend this government.

Because they know in their hearts that they and their families can only enjoy special treatment if this country exists, this government is functioning.

Once the country perished and a new government came to power, they lost the tilt of their policies, and they were no different from the old peasants who had been trained to go to war.

"This wind can't last long."

After coming to Fengzhou, Tangning began a new round of soldier recruitment, Qinfeng Road is adjacent to Western Xia in the north, Qingtang and Tubo in the west.

Some people say that the Tubo people were born to fight, so as the key object of the Tubo people to fight the autumn wind, the Qin Feng people were forced to learn to fight.

It is because of the fierce style of the people of Qinfeng Road, if you want to recruit soldiers, this is the best place.

After Cheng Yang heard that Tang Ning was still treating the recruits who were about to join with the treatment of soldiers recruited in Runzhou, he hurriedly found him and opened his mouth with these six words.

Downing asked rhetorically, "Why can't it be long?" ”

"This ......" Cheng Yang was stunned by Tang Ning's question, and then he replied: "No matter how unique your Zhenjiang army is, it is also the army of the Great Song Dynasty."

Besides, now the Zhenjiang Army has not made any significant achievements, and the soldiers below have such treatment, what do you think people from other troops think?

Not to mention the distance, the Western Army on Huanqing Road next door, what will your old comrades-in-arms think? ”

Tang Ning smiled: "They naturally feel unbalanced and uncomfortable." ”

Cheng Yang said anxiously: "Since you know, why do you continue to do this?" ”

"If I don't do that, how can they be dissatisfied? If they are satisfied with the status quo, it means that they are all in the army.

geezer

Son, let me tell you a very simple truth. Under the same conditions, one of the two recruits was forced to go to the battlefield, and the other volunteered to go to the battlefield, and the gains were diametrically opposed.

Those who are forced to go up will only think about how to protect themselves and how to keep themselves alive. And those who volunteered to go up, they were very serious about fighting, and they had a desire for victory in their hearts.

Since you and I met in the capital in April last year, we have known each other for a year this year.

I think you're a nice guy, so I'll tell you one more thing. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Ning pulled the thoughtful Cheng Yang to find a remote place, and whispered to him: "Our Great Song Forbidden Army and Xiang Army are together, which is a few million.

But do you know why battles are always lost?

The reason is very simple, if you write in other people's faces, and punch and kick people to go to war, who will work hard for you? Those are all people, not donkeys, and they can't move.

If you want to improve your combat effectiveness, it's very simple. The Zhenjiang Army is a template, and you have seen it along the way, when fighting with the bandits, none of them turned around and ran back.

You may not know, but I have observed the battle between the officers and the bandits up close.

Let's put it this way, as soon as the robber roared, at least one officer and soldier smeared oil on the soles of their feet and slipped back.

After such a comparison, do you think the Zhenjiang Army has combat effectiveness, or those millions of people have combat effectiveness?

And when the combat effectiveness comes up, we can fight for quality, not quantity. Those units that are not suitable for war in the first place can be disbanded on the spot.

This not only improves the combat effectiveness of the troops, but also reduces the expenditure and consumption of raising those useless soldiers. ”

Cheng Yang fell into deep thought, and after thinking about it for a long time, he stared at Tang Ning and said, "You want to be a person like Wang Jinggong?" ”

"I just don't want to live up to the trust that the government has placed in me." Tang Ning lowered his head and looked at his toes, and the boots that he had changed a few days ago seemed to be dirty again: "To tell you the truth, if the official family hadn't been so good to me, I might be living in Runzhou as a small master now."

Is it my bird business to win the battle or not? What does it matter to me if the world is not peaceful? I'm going to live my own little life in peace, better than anything else. ”

Cheng Yang said angrily: "What is the use of a good man, if you don't make a career and become famous, what is the use of hiding in a small place and being a small broken official!" ”

"Zifei fish, how do you know the joy of fish? Compared to the days when I run all over the world now, I really like to stay at home honestly, work 9 to 5, and go home with my wife. ”

Cheng Yang looked at Tang Ning, his face full of anger: "You are young, you are just eighteen years old this year, how can the thoughts in your head be older than the old man, an old man in his fifties?"

You've got a lot of time to ......."

"Alright, old man, you've said that. In the same way, my master followed

I've said that no less than ten times. Tang Ning pursed his lips, the education he received since he was a child was not to repay the king's intention on the golden platform, and to carry the jade dragon to die for the king.

If it weren't for Zhao Xu's being too good to himself, he always felt that he owed something to Zhao Xu, and he jumped out to help Zhao Xu tinker with the new army and take care of this experimental field of the new policy.

Then Tang Ning left on his own, leaving Cheng Yang himself messy in the wind.

The old man was very helpless, he himself was very envious of people like Tang Ning, Wang Anshi, and Sima Guang.

They have wisdom and brains, and it is not difficult for them to change the status quo.

But he only has the strength of his own two arms, even if he wants to do something, he only has the ability to twist other people's necks.

He thought more than once that if he also became wise and became one step at a time, then he would definitely do a series of things that would be beneficial to the Holy Pilgrimage.

However, he didn't, so when he heard Tang Ning's unmotivated speech, Cheng Yang felt that Tang Ning was destroying the heavens.

Standing in place and stunned for a while, Cheng Yang decided that he must transform Tang Ning into an outstanding young man who loves his job and is dedicated.

When I arrived in Fengzhou, it was not far from Qingtang. After walking to Lanzhou for another week, you can meet You Shixiong.

You Shixiong is a person, Tang Ning has a little impression. I felt like I had heard his name somewhere, but I couldn't remember it.

But Tang Ning knows one thing very well, in the Great Song Dynasty, the person who can make himself familiar with his name is definitely not an ordinary person, to give a few examples, Zhi Keshi, the Seed Master, and even the Fang La, who can't see anything that will become a thief at the moment.

Presumably, this You Shixiong must also be a person with great ability.

The recruitment work on the first day did not go well, and most of the people of Qin Fenglu still had a wait-and-see attitude.

They are short of money, but they lack a sense of security even more. The treatment of the soldiers of the Zhenjiang Army is admittedly very attractive, especially the treatment of their families, which makes them even more impatient.

But Qin Fenglu's perennial battles told them that there is nothing in the world that is not earned for nothing, and if you want to get something, you must pay something first.

What's more, the soldiers of the Zhenjiang Army didn't even have a word on their faces, so it's hard to say whether they were regular soldiers or not.

"Master Jun, it's not that I don't believe you, I just think that you don't even have a word on your face, this ...... I've never seen a military master like this......"

Unfortunately, this passer-by casually asked, and he asked about Shen Qian.

What kind of person is Shenqian, raising his leg is to kick the man, spit on the ground, and scolded: "Tattoo? Young Master Ben came to be this damn big-headed soldier, he has already wronged the young master, and he still wants to tattoo the young master on my face?

Phew!

Where are you from, get out of here! Your mother drops, young master, my good mood today was ruined by your fool......"
