Chapter 275: Standing by and Watching
I really won. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lee so-hyun's heart was filled with disbelief.
On the Houjin side, there are 120,000 troops, and this is only counting those main battle forces.
In the Houjin War, they have always been constantly capturing civilians around the battlefield to serve as cannon fodder and laborers, and with these horses, it will be at least hundreds of thousands of troops.
How many people are there on Xuanjun's side? There are about 10,000 field troops in the army, and those female soldiers are about 10,000 in the navy and militia.
Plus 10,000 blue flags and 10,000 servant reinforcements sent by Amin. There are only 40,000 horses to die.
In Li Xiuxian's heart, the two sides were able to hold each other for half a year, and they were already very capable of fighting, but they didn't expect to be able to win the Houjin army of hundreds of thousands with such a small number of troops.
Since the Xuan army has won, the general should be coming back soon, right? Recently, these people have done a lot of small actions in private, and they need to tell their allies the news as soon as possible.
However, the stakes are high, and it's best to double-check.
Thinking of this, Lee so-hyun asked again, "Since we won, why haven't we received good news?" ”
Zhao Qingyu glanced at the other party in amazement, "The general is on the front line, so it means that the shogunate is on the front line, why do you want to report to the rear?" To whom does the general need to report the victory? ”
Li Xiuxian also felt that there was something wrong with his words, for more than half a year, the general was not there, and his people had become accustomed to controlling the overall situation. Although he kept reminding himself in his heart that he should be respectful to the general in front of outsiders, he still couldn't help revealing his usual habits.
Li Xiuxian's face remained unchanged, and he explained quietly, "I mean, the front line is victorious, and we should tell the personnel in the rear, so that we can prepare for the army." ”
"I'm here for this."
"Oh, yes, as you just said, the general asked all of our people to go to the funeral of the martyr."
"Yes."
Lee so-hyun felt that something was wrong: "Why did you just let the people from the household hall go to the funeral?" ”
Zhao Qingyu carefully explained, "Not only the household hall, but all the departments of the Ministry of Civil Affairs have to go, but different departments have to go to different martyrs' cemeteries or martyrs' shrines to attend the funeral." ”
Li Xiuxian's doubts deepened: "Oh? Why spread out to so many places for funerals? ”
Zhao Qingyu's voice was a little low, as if he was sad for the comrades-in-arms who died in the war, "Actually, in this war, our casualties are also very large, and the army, marines, militia, and armed guard forces have almost lost nearly 1,000 casualties. Most of them were wounded, but the victims could be regarded as setting a new high in the previous wars of our army.
The 20,000 new troops suffered heavy casualties, with more than 5,000 casualties, and the most serious thing was that more than 3,000 of them were killed in battle.
So for the sake of safety and for the sake of respecting the sacrificed soldiers, the general decided to let the various civil affairs departments hold funerals and public memorial activities in different places, and it is very likely that the people involved in the funeral will be separated. ”
Li Xiuxian heard the perfect explanation, and finally let go of the stone in his heart, "So that's what happened, I understand, then, about the preparation and follow-up work of the funeral, what do we need to do in the house?" ”
"The preparations for the funeral have already been done again, and all of you in the household hall need to attend the funeral as civil officials of the Xuanjun General's Mansion, accompany the families of the war dead, comfort them, channel their emotions, and don't let them do anything too drastic."
"And when?"
"You have the whole day to prepare, and tomorrow early in the morning, you will gather outside the house, and the martyr's funeral committee will send a carriage to pick you up. When you get to the place, we will distribute your own costumes, and there will be staff members who will accompany you. ”
"Clothing? Won't we wear official uniforms tomorrow? ”
"Director Li, is it appropriate to attend the funeral and wear a scarlet official uniform?"
"However, this official uniform represents the dignity of the imperial court, do you want us to wear linen and filial piety at that time?"
Zhao Qingyu's face was a little cold, "I don't know what kind of clothes the martyrs' funeral committee has prepared, but even if filial piety clothes are prepared, is it possible to dress the martyrs in linen and wear filial piety, and also insult your identity as Director Li." ”
Li Xiuxian did not back down on this point, "I am a civil official, how can I give a group of Qiu Ba linen and filial piety, insulting Sven, no, this is simply a collapse of etiquette." ”
Zhao Qingyu stood up suddenly, "Director Li, pay attention to your wording, you are insulting the soldiers of the Xuan Army, and you are also challenging my bottom line." ”
Li Xiuxian's face was cloudy for a long time, but in the end he didn't bow his head, and cut off his breath, "Major, I have received the general's order, and I still have some official business to deal with, so the old man will not be far away." ”
Zhao Qingyu's eyes stared at the other party's face for a moment, turned around and left, without even saying a kind word.
When Zhao Qingyu walked out of the small door of the courtyard of Sanjin, a person slowly walked out from behind a screen on the side of this room.
I saw that this man was about thirty or forty years old, wearing a round-necked gown, wearing a mink coat, and his hands were wrapped in his sleeves.
The man walked to the edge of the stove, stretched out his hand to roast for a while, and said slowly, "This person is already a major at a young age, and he still has a medal of excellence on his chest, he must be the red man next to Chen Xin, Brother Zi Wu, why do you deliberately provoke him." ”
Li Xiuxian took a sip of tea and sighed, "How could I want this, but if I really let me wait for the civil officials to give a group of Qiu Ba Ma and wear filial piety, wouldn't it be a mess of the gang and let the warriors climb on the heads of our civil officials, then the lesson of the Tang Dynasty's feudal town division rebellion can not be forgotten." ”
"So what are you going to do tomorrow? Do you want to go to that funeral? ”
Li Xiuxian thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I definitely want to go, I can't disobey the order issued by the general himself at this time, but after I go, what kind of funeral committee doesn't want to command us civilian officials and let them stay aside." ”
"Brother Zi Wei is not afraid of angering that Chen Xin?"
Hearing the other party say this, Li Xiuxian's momentum just now disappeared all of a sudden, and it took a long time before he frowned and said, "There is an alliance between us, and you officials can't stand idly by in this matter."
And you should have heard it just now, your officials are also going to attend the funeral somewhere else. ”
"What Brother Zi Wei said is that we naturally will not sit idly by, in my opinion, this matter, as long as the head of our six halls has the same opinion, then, even if he Chen Xin, it is impossible to say anything, unless, ...
Li Xiuxian immediately said, "Unless he replaces all the people from our six halls." ”
After saying this, the two looked at each other and laughed together.
In their minds, as long as they are normal people, it is impossible to do such a stupid thing of removing all civil officials at the same time, after all, Chen Xin still has to rely on them to govern the place.
