142 Another kind of defending the homeland and the country
After listening to Chu Xiaoxi's words, Yu Zhaolin's face turned pale, but he said in a righteous manner: "But if everyone thinks so, who else will go into battle to kill the enemy, no one will go into battle to kill the enemy, Teng people will set foot in the northwest sooner or later, and when the time comes, everyone will die!"
Chu Xiaoxi didn't expect that Yu Zhaolin's family and country consciousness was so high, but it seemed that she was selfish and narrow-minded.
Chu Xiaoxi said approvingly to Yu Zhaolin, "It's true that you think so, but do you know what the situation is in Yuncheng now?"
Yu Zhaolin was a little puzzled, "Sister Xiaoxi knows?"
Chu Xiaoxi nodded, "Have you heard the news that King Quan is going to recruit troops?"
Yu Zhaolin shook his head, "No! I want to go by myself!"
Chu Xiaoxi said, "That's it, since King Quan has not recruited troops, it means that the troops on the side of Yuncheng are enough to resist the Teng people, if the troops are not enough, King Quan will definitely recruit troops!"
In other words, if you go to Yuncheng to join the army now, it will not actually play a role. Fighting on the march is about cooperation, and you have never participated in military training, and you have never experienced the battle on the battlefield, so if you go so rashly, you may not be sure, because your improper response will affect others, right?"
Yu Zhaolin frowned, pursed his mouth, thought for a while, and said, "I'll go over now, I can help in the rear now!"
Chu Xiaoxi said, "I just said! King Quan has not recruited troops, so there is no shortage of manpower in Yuncheng, and I know one thing." ”
Chu Xiaoxi saw that Yu Zhaolin looked very curious, paused slightly, and then said word by word, "That is, Yuncheng is now short of grain and grass!"
Looking at Yu Zhaolin's frowning and thinking appearance, Chu Xiaoxi asked rhetorically, "You said, if you go to Yuncheng at this time, not only will it not play a role, it won't help, it will also increase the consumption of food, wouldn't it be a disservice?"
Yu Zhaolin was a little confused and asked, "What should I do then?"
Chu Xiaoxi smiled bitterly, "The imperial court, if you wait for the grain and grass of the imperial court, last time, the soldiers of Yuncheng will be hungry and fight with the Tengren!"
Zuo Chenyi, Zuo Gongzi, do you remember? Last time, it was he who donated a month's rations to the soldiers of Yuncheng, so that the war in Yuncheng could be maintained!"
Yu Zhaolin nodded, "Well, I heard about this last time." Zuo Gongzi is righteous. However, if these rations are eaten, the imperial court still won't allocate some rice grain to Yuncheng, what should I do?"
Yu Zhaolin was really worried, those soldiers were fighting bloodily on the front line, but the imperial court even had to withhold their rations, Yu Zhaolin couldn't help but worry, and was very angry.
Chu Xiaoxi sighed, "Yes! If there is no food and grass, Yuncheng will be defeated without freeing up people to attack." Then I'm asking you now, Zuo Chenyi, Zuo Gongzi didn't go to the front line to kill the enemy, he only donated grain and grass to the soldiers in Yuncheng, does he count as defending his family and defending the country?"
Yu Zhaolin didn't expect Chu Xiaoxi to ask such a question, so he replied without thinking, "Of course, Zuo Gongzi is also defending the country, if it weren't for him, the Teng people would have captured Yuncheng last time, maybe the northwest would have become Teng people!"
Chu Xiaoxi nodded and agreed, "Then you are talking about it, in the current situation, Yuncheng has enough soldiers and horses, but the food and grass are urgent, you are a child who is less than thirteen years old and has no battlefield experience, you have to go to Yuncheng, and you still want to kill the enemy, so you are defending your family and the country, can you avenge your relatives?"
When Yu Zhaolin heard this, he lowered his head with some shame, and said weakly: "Sister Xiaoxi, I didn't think it through!"
After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Chu Xiaoxi expectantly, "Sister Xiaoxi, do you think that I can still avenge my relatives like this?"
Chu Xiaoxi nodded affirmatively, and said seriously: "Of course you can, you just said, Zuo Gongzi is like that, he can be regarded as defending the country, that is to say, defending the family and defending the country does not have to go into battle to kill the enemy, we can be behind those soldiers, we can be their strong backing, and we are also defending the country, because of us, the soldiers can kill the enemy with peace of mind, they have no worries, and bravely kill more enemies, won't your ugliness be rewarded?"
Yu Zhaolin didn't quite understand Chu Xiaoxi's words, and said with some embarrassment, "Sister Xiaoxi, how to do the strong backing of the Yuncheng soldiers, I don't have a big business like Zuo Gongzi, I can give Yuncheng a month's ration with a shot, how can I become a strong backing for the Yuncheng soldiers?"
Chu Xiaoxi pointed to the direction of the stone trough behind the house where a few bamboo ferrets were raised, and asked, "Do you remember those bamboo ferrets?"
Yu Zhaolin nodded.
Chu Xiaoxi told Yu Zhaolin about the plan of the bamboo ferret breeding base.
"These are all entrusted to me by the king, and the king also plans to place the wounded soldiers and their families in Yuncheng near Yuncheng, so that they can take care of each other, and when the time comes, he will select some people from them to breed bamboo ferrets with us, and after making money, he can buy grain, grass and clothing for the soldiers of Yuncheng.
Of course, in the future, I will definitely raise some other things, such as cattle and sheep, and I will also let the wounded soldiers and their families grow food together.
In this way, even if the imperial court no longer pays the Northwest Army in the future, the Northwest Army can support itself. ”
Yu Zhaolin was very happy when he heard this, and said to Chu Xiaoxi with great expectation, "Sister Xiaoxi, you have told me so much, do you plan to let me raise bamboo ferrets too?"
Chu Xiaoxi smiled, "Of course! I think that since you want to kill the enemy so much, the breeding base will be full of wounded soldiers on the battlefield at that time, and you will still have the opportunity to ask them for advice, so that in a few years, if your Aunt Yunhui agrees, you can go to the army, and then you can kill a few Tengren with your own hands to avenge your relatives! What do you think?"
Yu Zhaolin nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I do, Sister Xiaoxi!"
"That's right! Everyone gives full play to their own value and serves the Northwest, so that the Teng people will not dare to attack us again!"
"Hmm~!but~" Yu Zhaolin was a little worried.
"But what's wrong?" Chu Xiaoxi asked.
Yu Zhaolin thought for a while, and said worriedly: "Sister Xiaoxi, Zuo Gongzi only gave Yuncheng a month's grain and grass, but there are only a few days left, what should the soldiers of Yuncheng do next?"
Actually, regarding the issue of grain and grass in Yuncheng, when King Quan was in the northwest, Chu Xiaoxi was not very worried, and now that King Quan has gone to the capital, he doesn't know when he will come back, Chu Xiaoxi is also very worried about Yuncheng.
"The Teng man who kidnapped me last time, do you remember? He is the seventeenth prince of Tengguo! King Quan arrested him~ and exchanged him for a large amount of gold, silver and rations with Tengguo, those grains should last for a while, and the king has already sent people to buy grain and grass, so we must also hurry up to build the farm and relieve the worries of the soldiers of Yuncheng as soon as possible!"
