Section 0333 Eight hundred ding's military exploits
On the topic of the throne, even if no one eavesdropped on Liu Mu, he didn't dare to say more. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Shimin is similar, this topic is a taboo.
So Li Shimin and Liu Mu were about to change the topic almost at the same time, and the two said in unison: "Say......
Li Shimin motioned to Liu Mu to say first.
"Second brother, do these people have military merits?"
"Yes, not only in the regular army, but also in the auxiliaries. According to the Tang law, the auxiliary soldiers obtained at least one percent and three percent of their military merits, killed 20,000 enemies, and captured 12 states and 43 cities......" Speaking of this, Li Shimin stopped.
Because the number of people on Liumu's side is too small, the total number of the main army, auxiliary soldiers, and baggage logistics troops is only more than 3,000.
I thought that back then, my 3,500 Xuanjia army defeated the 100,000 Dou Jiande army, but it was only defeated instead of killed, and the actual killing of more than 10,000 enemies was not enough.
After that battle, the lowest status in the main army was the loose rank of lieutenant Ling Renyong.
At that time, there were 3,500 people, leading Renyong Lieutenant and Deputy Lieutenant (Zheng Jiupin, Zhengjiupin, Wu Sanjie. There were nearly 2,000 of them.
Datang's rewards are divided into three categories, one is the promotion rank, and the second is the virtual rank, that is, to expand the area of the field in the recipient's home, the tax-free area, etc. The third category is the reward in kind, money, cloth, grain, meat, etc.
Why did Li Shimin stop in the middle of speaking, because he couldn't count this reward.
In the end, Li Shimin said: "In this way, the lowest person in the battalion is the one who is responsible for burning the fire and helping the cook, and he can also get the rank of lieutenant of the accompanying Rong, and he will be given ten acres of Yongye field, five acres of tax exemption, plus money, silk, grain and other things." Even if the family was poorer than you before, it became a peaceful home overnight. ”
The Shengping that Li Shimin said is Wen Bao's small rich family. According to the modern understanding, it can be defined as a quasi-well-off home.
"Very good." Yanagi smiled happily.
"Of course it's good, even the husband's assistant cook became an official overnight, can it be good?"
Liu Mu said: "Second brother, that's not what I meant. Qin Shi only talks about capitation, and our Datang also talks about teams, which is good. ”
"It's to be said, when the regular army fights, the auxiliary soldiers help them maintain their ordnance, feed the horses, wear armor to prepare for war, and clean up the battlefield, how can it be said that there is no hard work, so there must be one. There are no heavy soldiers to work hard to escort grain and grass, and there are no soldiers to cook, so the merits are everyone's, big and small. ”
Li Shimin explained this meritorious system of the Tang Dynasty.
Liu Mu sounded much more reasonable than when he was a strong Han in the former Qin.
It can't be said that it is unreasonable to count merit by head, but it can still be more perfect.
"But you don't have a Sima in the army, you don't join the army, and you don't have a master. Who will write this military merit book? The father emperor wants your army, and he will soon send Sima, Senjun and other military Chinese officers. You can rest assured about this, there are Fang and Du in Chang'an, and Xiao Gong has already made it clear that he supports it, and there will be no chaos. ”
The mess Li Shimin said is that he has installed those people who make people uncomfortable.
Liu Mule smiled: "I think Wei Zheng is suitable, and it is just right to be the first military commander." ”
"Vicious." Li Shimin laughed heartily.
This thing really disgusted Li Jiancheng to death.
The two chatted for most of the night, and when they were drunk, they leaned on it and fell asleep.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Shimin officially beat the drums and gathered the generals.
Su Dingfang was wearing a very willow woodblock cloth with pants and also stood at the bottom of the big tent, he had no military position, so he couldn't wear armor. Li Junxian is a military attache of the fifth grade, and he does not wear armor, but wears the same as Su Dingfang, a tight trouser and military uniform with a cape.
To everyone's surprise, Li Junxian had no hair and shaved both sides cleanly.
Li Shimin was about to raise the account and get down to business, but when he saw Li Junxian like this, he immediately got up and walked to the middle: "Junxian, is there an injury on the head?" ”
Li Junxian took off his hat and saluted Li Shimin: "Thank you for Your Highness's care, the last general is not injured." ”
After Li Shimin pointed to Li Junxian's head, Li Junxian opened his mouth and explained:
"Your Highness, this was last year. When the last general first arrived at the training camp of Liu Ju Ma Jiading, the training was extremely hard at that time, and the mud and grass were stuck to his head every day. Then he didn't tie his hair anymore, so he put it loose. ”
Li Junxian also understands the generals when he talks about this.
Then, the first batch of armor arrived in winter. After the hair was tied, it was very uncomfortable to clamp the hair between the helmet, but after untying it, it was all wrapped around the nail leaf, and it hurt when I moved. One Ding laid down the incense table at night, shaved his hair, and then wrapped his hair and offered it to the incense table. ”
"Why?" Li Shimin asked curiously.
He said he sent it home and put it next to his parents. When you go into battle to kill the enemy, you don't know whether you are dead or alive. This person who cut off his own head first, and died once is blessed. Mu Xiaolangjun is the one who died once, what a blessing this is. ”
The generals all laughed, and Yanagi often said that he was the one who died once.
Li Junxian continued: "Slowly, more and more people are shaving their heads, but before the expedition, the main army is shaved. The head is in a box, and each box has a name on it, and in case anyone does not come back, and even the body cannot be found, this box is the body. These days, auspicious days are being calculated in the battalion, and the auxiliaries are preparing to shave their heads. ”
"And why?" Li Shimin asked.
"The regular army won three battles and three victories, killed 20,000 enemies but did not kill a single person, wounded 100 people but all of them were slightly wounded. This razor is very auspicious, and it can bless you to live long on the battlefield. ”
Li Shimin would like to say that this is not luck, but well-trained and well-equipped.
But the soldiers sometimes recognize this auspicious statement, so Li Shimin did not intend to refute it, and specially ordered: "Sima in the army listens to the order, calculates the auspicious day, and the king personally sacrifices heaven and earth for protection." ”
"Order." Sima in the army came out of the ranks, and when he was about to retreat, he stopped and said, "Your Highness, tomorrow is the day of great luck." After tomorrow, I'm afraid that it will take more than half a month to get my hair repaired. ”
Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there have been professional hair and face repair shops, ancient people haircut is different from modern times, but also pay attention to beauty.
"It's not a big deal today. Only two things were ordered, and then Sima in the army went to prepare for the sacrifice. Shubao, you arrange for someone to calculate the military merits of the book. After that, the various departments were carefully guarded to prevent the Turks from sneaking attack, and strictly ordered the departments not to go into battle at will. ”
Order!
The crowd clenched their fists.
Li Junxian stepped forward: "Your Highness, the last general still has a few words." ”
"Speak, though."
"The camp believes that the Three Treasures are auspicious. Shaving is only one of them, and the other treasure is the unifolium. The one-leaved grass grows on the snow line of Taibai Mountain, and the one-leaved grass pattern can be blessed by heaven. ”
Li Shimin laughed after hearing this.
Many of the soldiers were illiterate and had not read. They don't understand the meaning, they can march quickly with a load for three days and three nights from Sanyuan to the top of Taibai Mountain, and they have to find a single leaf grass, which is what a strong army's physique.
