Chapter 176 Ji Sun's Worries Within the Wall

Life is great, and at the same time, life is small. As the basis in the army, the life of an ordinary soldier, for the rulers, is insignificant.

Victory or defeat in war, leaving ordinary soldiers with only a hazy record. For example, in the early Tang Dynasty, the shallow water plateau was defeated, and 100,000 troops were killed, and the historical record is how Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and Xue Renguo, the little overlord of Western Qin, were killed. For the bereavement of the fallen soldiers, there was no before the Tang Dynasty, and there were clearly stipulated bereavement pensions, which began in the Tang Dynasty, and it was precisely because the Tang Army had a bereavement policy that the Tang Army would be like the Iron Army.

According to the record of "Tang Law Shu Yi": "From the line of death, the thirty paragraphs of the forgery (Du Wei), the twenty paragraphs of Guoyi, the ten paragraphs, and the creation of the spirit of the Xuan, delivered to the house." The deputy of the team and above will each give two pieces of silk, and the guards will give one piece of silk, fill the clothes, and still give the coffin, so that the delivery will be returned home.

However, even if an ordinary soldier was killed in battle, the court only gave him a set of funeral clothes and a coffin, and ordered him to return home. As for the bereavement pension for the family members, it is only exempt from military service and taxes for three years, and after three years, everything will be restored to the same. It can be estimated that in February of the second year of Tang Gaozu Wude (619), it was stipulated that each dina "rented two stones, two zhang of silk, and three taels of cotton" and worked hard for 20 days. All converted into money, about ten times. It's only 8,000 dollars more than a strong cow, which is slightly higher.

However, this meagre pension of about ten yuan made countless Tang Army soldiers have no regard for their lives. However, the pension given by Chen Ying was more than ten times that of the imperial court.

Hearing Chen Ying's words, the cheers of all the soldiers resounded in the sky.

The lives of soldiers now are really cheap, fighting a war is a natural obligation for them, they have no right to ask for anything, the honor has nothing to do with them, even if they win, the reward is extremely meager, now it is good, they can not only get a rich reward for their service, even if they die in battle, their families will also get a lot of compensation, what else do they have to worry about? It's a battle to the death! If they win, everything the enemy will become their spoils, and when they die, their families will have no food and clothing from now on, no matter how they are calculated, they will be earned!

All the soldiers cheered excitedly: "I am willing to die for the general!" ”

Chen Ying's hands pressed down gently, and the cheers of the soldiers stopped abruptly.

"You didn't die for me!" Chen Yingdao: "I give you the best equipment, the best treatment, and the most rigorous training, and what I want is not your allegiance, but ......."

Speaking of this, Chen Yinghuo turned around, stretched out his finger and pointed to the northwest, and roared like thunder: When the Turks, or the Xue Yantuo people and other people, they broke through the barrier again, and the rolling iron horses flooded over the Great Wall, when their spears covered the ground like a forest, and the arrows they shot covered the sky, you can rush forward without hesitation, for this land, for the people who feed us with blood and sweat, you can die without hesitation! ”

"For the sake of this land, for the sake of the people on this land who feed us with blood and sweat, we will die without hesitation!"

The roar was like a thunderclap, shaking the eardrums of every soldier and shaking their hearts.

Li Xiuning's body standing under the parasol on the mountainside suddenly shook, she suddenly got up, and looked blankly at the soldiers of the Anxi Army who were excited and full of voices, roared like thunder, and their voices soared into the sky. Li Xiuning's face changed slightly, and she muttered: "For the sake of this land, for the sake of the people on this land who feed us with blood and sweat, we will die without hesitation...... Die without hesitation! ”

He Yue'er's eyes were full of adoration looking at the not burly figure under the mountain, at this moment, Chen Ying's figure, in He Yue'er's heart, infinitely magnified, Chen Ying was like a god of war falling from the sky, standing in He Yue'er's heart.

He Yue'er secretly said in her heart: "For you, I can also die without hesitation!" ”

……

In the tooth tent of the Eastern Turkic Khan in Mobei, singing and dancing are leveled.

Jieli Khan set up a banquet to entertain Liu Shishan.

Liu Shishan was the younger brother of Liu Heimin, the former Duke of Eastern Han Dynasty, and after Liu Heimin's death, he came to the Eastern Turks and was raised in captivity by Jieli Khan. Delicious food and drink, Liu Shishan at this time was in no mood to appreciate the Turkic beauty, like a convulsive dance performance, and he didn't understand the meaning of the singing voice of the Eastern Turkic beauty.

Liu Shishan looked at Jieli Khan with some apprehension and said, "I don't know what the Khan is calling for?" ”

Jieli Khan poured a large sip of mare's milk wine and said with a smile: "Your Xia King is dead, and your clan brother is also dead." Do you want to avenge them? ”

Liu Shishan's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said loudly: "Khan, I am really unwilling, please be sure to send troops to avenge King Xia!" ”

Jieli Khan poured a large sip of wine, smiled and comforted Liu Shishan: "General Liu, rest assured, these days, you will rest in my tent with peace of mind." Rest assured, my golden wolf clan will not only avenge King Xia, but also send troops to support you in cutting off the claimed king in the Hebei region.

Liu Shishan was shocked and then overjoyed, and hurriedly raised his glass to salute Jieli Khan.

The two drank it all, looked at each other and laughed.

At this moment, Ye Hu Khan Ashina Mohe suddenly said in a loud voice: "...... It's too worthless to spend human resources to help a decadent Han like Liu Shishan, how can the Khan promise him? ? ”

Jieli Khan was furious and said, "You have been so comfortable these days that you have forgotten the lesson? Our sons and daughters of the grassland must take a long-term view in order to survive for a long time.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Jieli Khan said: "Now, the Li Tang Dynasty is about to unify the Central Plains -

Jieli stared at everyone with a fierce expression and slowly scanned everyone, and said loudly: "A unified Central Plains dynasty will never be in line with the interests of the grassland people, and only the divided Central Plains is the lamb that allows the descendants of the grassland to plunder and ravage.

The tribal elders suddenly widened their eyes in an instant.

Jieli Khan roared with a fierce look in his eyes: "Once the Central Plains is unified, the unified dynasty will turn into a lion, turn its head back, and tear the wolves on the steppe to pieces." ”

It's just a pity that Liu Shishan is not Liu Heimin, he went to Hebei and lost the opportunity to make waves.

……

Mulan City in the middle of the night, although this new city has not yet been built, it is beginning to take shape. A city spanning sixty-four miles from north to south seems a little empty.

Li Xiuning wanted to have a good talk with Chen Ying, but when his son fell asleep, he didn't wait for Chen Ying to come back, Li Xiuning looked at He Yue'er and said, "Where is Chen Lang?" ”

He Yue'er said: "I came back from the barracks half an hour ago, and I haven't come back yet, so I should be in the study!" ”

Li Xiuning said: "Take a lantern, let's go to the study!" ”

Li Xiuning and He Yue'er walked along the corridor towards Chen Ying's study. Ashina Simo was still standing outside the door like a stake, and when Ashina Simo was about to salute Li Xiuning, Li Xiuning waved his hand and said, "It's night, this palace boiled a bowl of ginseng soup and gave it to Chen Lang!" ”

Ashina Simo bowed down and said, "Madame, please ......"

Li Xiuning gently knocked on the door of the study, and Chen Ying said, "Come in!" ”

Chen Ying did not raise his head, and continued to write and draw on the paper.

A large number of new troops poured into the army, and training naturally could not be stopped, and of course, there were military regulations and systems. Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying and wrote seriously.

First: unconditional obedience to orders, when the boss officially gives orders, they must be carried out without questioning, even if the orders are wrong!

Second: Officers are not allowed to inflict any humiliating corporal punishment on soldiers, and they are not allowed to accept any valuables and money from soldiers, let alone take the initiative to ask for them, and violators will be dismissed!

Third: We must always pay attention to our appearance, those who are not well-dressed, those who do not do a good job in housekeeping, those who do not pay attention to personal hygiene, one warning, two punishments, three dismissals, and the army does not accept sloppy ghosts and lazy insects!

……

There are all kinds of things, Li Xiuning watched Chen Ying write more than fifty articles, involving all kinds of things, which can be said to be comprehensive. Li Xiuning is also a person who has led soldiers, and she knows that if Chen Ying's military regulations are brought to any army, the soldiers of the army will mutiny.

At this moment, Chen Ying's stomach growled, Chen Ying looked up and suddenly saw Li Xiuning, and said in surprise: "Sanniang, when are you here?" ”

Li Xiuning said: "I've been here for a while, just when you wrote Article 68, you must not accept any gifts from outsiders at will, and the trade must be fair, and you must not owe it on credit", I was already here! ”

Chen Ying looked at the food box in Li Xiuning's hand, and said with a slight smile: "And Sanniang knows that my husband is already hungry!" ”

Li Xiuning brought Chen Ying a bowl of ginseng soup and a sauce pig's trotters.

Chen Ying was also not polite, as if a starving ghost was reincarnated, and devoured it.

Li Xiuning asked puzzledly: "Chen Lang, it's not too early, things can't be done, it's better to rest early!" ”

Chen Ying still had pig's trotters in his mouth, and said vaguely: "No, you can't rest, there are some things that must be done as soon as possible!" ”

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying suspiciously: "Chen Lang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Chen Ying was silent for a long time before he suddenly explained: "The current Datang seems to be booming, but in fact, it has reached the most dangerous time-

Li Xiuning's eyes widened in astonishment, and she looked at Chen Ying in a daze.

Chen Ying's expression was indifferent, as if he was talking about other people's family affairs. Chen Ying continued: "In the first year of Wude, the value of one foot of silk could be exchanged for five catties of millet rice, and this year, one foot of silk was exchanged for one catty of radish, how can the people live?"

Li Xiuning was still stunned and couldn't come back to his senses.

Chen Ying smiled sarcastically: "This is the current Tang Dynasty, the domination of the world is imminent, but it is about to fall apart......"

Speaking of which, Chen Ying was not talking.

In fact, although Chen Ying is in the Western Regions, he is still paying attention to Guanzhong. Chen Ying likes to look for the real problem in the subtleties, and the so-called details determine success or failure. After Chen Ying inadvertently discovered, inflation actually started in Guanzhong, which surprised Chen Ying.

Li Xiuning's expression became grim, and she waved her fist and said, "Do you want to say it?" ”

Chen Ying stretched out his hand to block the side of his face, and nodded helplessly: "I said, I said, I'm afraid of you."

Li Xiuning smiled proudly and put down his hand.

Chen Ying glanced at the triumphant Li Xiuning, cleared his throat and said: "Today's Tang Dynasty, there are three major malpractices, the first is that there is no currency, and many years of war have led to a sharp depreciation of coins, so that the people's transactions today are all barter, and silk silk was originally used to make clothes...... It actually replaced the usefulness of coins, and to put it bluntly, money is worthless......"

Li Xiuning nodded and said, "I understand this, you continue." ”

Chen Yingdao: "The second is the abuse of officials, since the founding of the country, in order to stabilize the foundation, your father has rewarded a large number of Li family relatives and Guanlong clans, the court is full of princes and princes, and the duke can use dustpans.

Li Xiuning couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly: "Your mouth-"

Chen Ying ignored her and continued: "...... At the same time, in order to envelop the family and come to the imperial court, a large number of high-ranking officials were appointed, but these high-ranking officials did not have the corresponding ability to govern, and could not even effectively exercise power, which led to the fact that people who are really capable of doing things are not officials, and those who are not able to do things are in a vegetarian position, and high-ranking officials above the fifth grade abound, to put it bluntly, officials are worthless......

Li Xiuning frowned tightly while listening, and his face gradually became solemn: "Is it really as serious as you say?" ”

Chen Ying said without warning: "It's serious! When a country's money is worthless, the country's economy collapses; When a country's officials are worthless, the country's politics collapse. ”

Li Xiuning gasped, and after a while, he came back to his senses and asked, "What is the third major malpractice?" ”

Chen Yingdao: "The Buddha said, don't say ......"

As he spoke, he picked up the ginseng soup and drank it by himself.

Li Xiuning stepped forward, snatched the soup bowl, and said with a scowl face: "Do you want to say it?" ”

Chen Ying smiled bitterly: "What else do you want me to say?" ”

Li Xiuning handed the ginseng soup to Chen Ying, and said angrily: "Don't sell Guanzi, what is the third major malpractice of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Chen Ying sighed heavily and said, "Let's say okay first, you can't do it." ”

Li Xiuning said: "If you say, I won't beat you."

Chen Yingdao: "The third major maladministration of Datang is ......"

Chen Ying paused.

Li Xiuning nervously pricked up his ears and listened, with a serious face.

Chen Ying continued: "Now above the court, the emperor, the crown prince, and the king of Qin stand side by side......

Li Xiuning frowned in agreement.

Chen Yingdao: "There are many orders, and the civil and military generals have their own attachments, and there will inevitably be disputes and frictions between them.

Li Xiuning was stunned.

Chen Ying stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Li Xiuning's eyes.

After a long time, Li Xiuning sighed and said, "Erlang, isn't it safe?" ”

Chen Ying smiled bitterly and said, "Will His Royal Highness King Qin be safe?" He is sparing no effort to cultivate his core armed forces, and the Hedong army has exceeded 100,000! ”

Chen Ying suddenly found that Datang seemed to have embarked on a different path.

PS: I'm busy plowing the land in my hometown today, and I'll come back later, and I'll have it later! The National Day holiday is coming to an end, what a sad story!
