Niu Ben naturally knew the thoughts of Lu Fei and other generals, and this time he came to solve this matter.

As a veteran of the Great Yu Kingdom, he was well aware that soldiers would break various laws in war, and this situation would have a very bad impact on the captured cities.

In the past year, there has been an increase in the number of war reports sent to him in the past year, in which soldiers have bullied local women from good families.

He originally had an indifferent attitude towards this matter, because in his opinion the army did not appear to be large-scale. The scene of the rape and plunder is enough to prove that this is a well-disciplined army, and the mistakes committed by a few soldiers are not significant.

It's just that when the battle report was sent to Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming was very worried about this matter, so he got the order of the labor army.

This time he came to supervise the war on the one hand, and the labor army on the other.

After defeating the Three Kings Alliance, Lu Fei and his generals fought continuously with their soldiers, and the battle from city to city was extremely difficult.

Now that Juyong Pass has been taken, the war of Liang has finally ended, but the war is far from the end, Chang'an City is still in the hands of King Zhao, and there are still many battles ahead.

Moreover, the state of Liang itself borders the state of Zhao, and if the state of Liang is destroyed, the king of Zhao will inevitably prevent them from continuing to advance westward.

For this kind of long-term war, soldiers who are always facing life and death can easily lose control and violate military discipline.

At first, he didn't seem to understand the matter of Lao Jun, but after Xiao Ming explained, he suddenly realized.

According to Xiao Ming, what soldiers need is not only the monthly salary, but also the honor and national recognition that they need to kill the enemy desperately.

This labor army seems to be a dispensable thing, but when it is actually implemented, it will bring unexpected effects to the army, and even appease the dissatisfaction of the soldiers due to the boring life.

To put it simply, it is to let the soldiers know that the country has not forgotten them when they are fighting on the front line, and they also recognize their contribution to the country.

Thinking of this, Niu Ben had a hint of a smile in his eyes, this kind of theory was unheard of by him, but I have to say that Xiao Ming's words spoke to his heart.

After the war, not only will the labor army become one of the regular events of the army, but more decrees will be issued on the status of soldiers.

Although he was scolded by Xiao Ming in the court for delaying the war, he was very happy along the way this time.

Because he could see that Xiao Ming intended to improve the status of the army, and this was an unprecedented thing in the Great Yu Kingdom, and the previous emperors all valued literature over military force.

The repeated defeats in the barbarian wars and the dissatisfaction of the army have always displeased the generals, which is one of the reasons why the generals are unwilling to die.

Lu Fei was scolded, but he was still smiling, and he said to Niu Ben: "General, compassion for the soldiers really makes me feel grateful in my heart, but this will not be known by the emperor." ”

"This matter is the emperor's order." Niu Ben didn't hide it, "If you want to be grateful, you should be grateful to the emperor." ”

"Your Majesty!" Lu Fei's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "The emperor has always been strict with the army, how can he explain this matter this time?" ”

"Hmph, the emperor is indeed very strict in governing the army, but the emperor has been talking about you, saying that you are fighting hard abroad, the soldiers have sacrificed a lot, and they are facing death at any time, saying that he can't come to the battlefield in person, so he can only find a way to relieve the soldiers' boredom." Niu Ben said Xiao Ming's words again.

Niu Ben heard this, his heart was hot, his eyes were red, these days from Qingzhou to Yunzhou, from Yunzhou to Qingzhou, they fought all the way and felt that they were fighting in addition to fighting, and they gradually became numb every day, like a scarecrow.

And Niu Ben's words suddenly made them feel that no matter how much suffering they suffered, it was worth it.

"Alright, let's do it quickly, while the fighting is temporarily suspended." Lu Fei's expression made Niu Ben agree more and more with what Xiao Ming said.

It's just this simple order that makes a man like Lu Fei so moved.

"Yes, General!" Niu Ben smiled and immediately ran down.

Ye Qingyun and other generals were also happy, the days of marching and fighting were very boring, if it weren't for the long history of the army to strictly control the discipline of the army, they really wanted to indulge the soldiers to plunder.

And now this good thing suddenly made them lose such thoughts.

While they were talking, the barbarian cavalry and slave soldiers outside Juyong Pass suddenly turned around and retreated into the depths of the grassland.

All this made the generals breathe a sigh of relief, it looked like the barbarians were not ready to attack the city.

"General, the barbarians have retreated, and Zheng Chengwen estimates that he knows that he will not be able to capture Juyong Pass." Ye Qingyun said.

Niu Ben nodded, and he said: "That's good, at this time, if the barbarians come to attack in a big way, it will be troublesome, so we took advantage of the war between the barbarians and the Wa State to capture Chang'an in one fell swoop and destroy the King of Zhao." ”

Luo Hong and Luo Xin glanced at each other, Chang'an was their hometown of dreams, and they were most eager to attack the generals of Chang'an, because they still had some relatives in Chang'an City.

reminded the generals of the next battle, Niu Ben ordered the generals defending the city not to relax, and then went down the city wall with the generals.

……

Qingzhou.

The excitement of the steam locomotive lasted only three days, and on the fourth day he was provoked by the officials.

What angered him this time was the issue of the status of the army.

"Your Majesty, the generals of all dynasties are big, and there are still few things about supporting troops and rebelling against the court? In the opinion of the lower officials, the status of the army is now much higher than before, and Qingzhou has also set up the Valhalla for the soldiers who died in battle, so why increase the rights of soldiers at this time. ”

In the council hall, Fiji said loudly.

"The minister seconded the proposal." Pang Yukun also stood up at this time, and this time Xiao Ming's decree made the civil officials a little dissatisfied.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

“……”

After Fiji and Pang Yukun, one civilian official after another stood up, and Yu Ming, Chao Jun and other officials also stood up.

Looking at the officials who stood up one by one, Xiao Ming frowned, this time it was really rare for Pang Yukun and Fiji to urinate in a pot.

It can be seen from this to what extent the Great Yu State has emphasized literature and light military force, and these officials finally couldn't sit still one by one when they saw Xiao Ming's continuous improvement of the status of soldiers.

"Are you trying to force me?"

Xiao Ming frowned, during this time, he had the intention to let these officials use their talents to assist him in managing the Great Chongqing Kingdom, so in order not to discourage their enthusiasm, he also adopted some irrelevant suggestions.

It was only at this moment that he suddenly realized a problem, there has always been a natural conflict between the monarchy and the bureaucracy since ancient times, because strengthening the imperial power will inevitably damage the interests of the bureaucracy.

During this time, he behaved too well, and these officials seemed to have the illusion that he was another Xiao Wenxuan.
