Chapter 208: Memory
After the reply of the emperor's "true temperament" overflowing with the paper was in Liu Yu's hand, Liu Yu immediately brewed his expression for a long time, wondering what to pretend to be when he really saw the emperor?
Be chuffed to bits?
Live up to Jun's grace?
One thing he has always knew in his heart was that the emperor's words, even if they seemed to be heartfelt, could only be regarded as a fart, and he couldn't believe half a sentence.
Today, I trust so much that I can't dig out my heart, and Ming'er may be able to click a knife.
What is imperial power? The word is the law.
Now it seems that the emperor is in high spirits, and it is nothing more than Liu Yu helping him cosplay a handful of Han Wu Tang Sect, recovering the Western Regions, and by the way, he retreated bravely and hurriedly handed over the military power.
What really made the emperor happy was that after the military reform, the emperor thought that he could hold the military power in his hands, separate the soldiers and generals, and solve this problem that had plagued him for many years.
In other words, even if the separation of soldiers and generals will reduce combat effectiveness, the new tactical system can allow Dashun to ensure great military superiority over the surrounding and domestic uprisings.
However, the emperor finally did something serious, thinking about the name of this section of the whale sea, Liu Yu thought that this name was enough to think, but it was all empty.
The coast of the Whale Sea is vast, and the local hunting tribes can be added together, whether it is enough for 100,000 people.
This festival is probably the most faceless card in the whole world. However, even if he was put in charge of Korea, Japan, and the Ryukyus, it could be regarded as the first step of Dashun to take the first step in a new type of clan system.
Liu Yu didn't want to stay here for too long, the problem of the Western Regions could not be solved in a day or two.
With the help of the quasi-department, he killed the Syed of the Black Mountain faction and the White Mountain faction.
To the south of the Tianshan Mountains, there is a piece of scattered sand, and it will definitely be chaotic for more than ten years in the future.
But it also completely cut off the idea that the imperial court wanted to save trouble and directly let the leaders of the Baishan faction or the Black Mountain faction control the south of the Tianshan Mountains.
If you don't want to turn this place into a bottomless pit of finance, you have to continue to emigrate in accordance with Liu Yu's planned military reform policy.
Quasi-Bu, Kazakh, Montenegrin, White-Mountain, Bukhara...... These people are enough to guard the generals here, and they have learned how to balance.
This method of forcing the imperial court to do so is really out of helplessness.
The leaders of the Black Mountain faction or the White Mountain faction south of the Tianshan Mountains used the policy of restraint to seem to be stable at that time, but in fact they were going to bury countless mines for future generations.
Before leaving, he reiterated to the officers about drawing maps and restricting military discipline.
For soldiers, Liu Yu also fulfilled his promise.
A huge stone monument was erected in the Ili River Valley, and the inscription on the monument inscribed the history of the expedition and the names of all the soldiers who left Liugong Island for the Altai Mountains with them.
He didn't have any literary talent, and he didn't know what to copy, so he simply took the stone to remember his merits.
The soldiers were assembled and counted as a send-off.
On weekdays, Liu Yu always said that the Qingzhou Army was raised by his mother, but thinking that the Qingzhou Army might be dismantled in the future, his heart was still a little touched after all.
The southwest counterinsurgency will have their blood, the stability of the Western Regions will have their sweat, and in the future, they may have to fight Burma, Vietnam, and Japan, and this group of veterans of the Qingzhou Army may have to travel all over China, and I don't know how many people will still be alive in a few decades.
Hiding the sadness that welled up in his heart, he rode a horse to inspect the Qingzhou Army, and finally didn't say too much about serving the country loyally.
"Soldiers, I will no longer be the commander of the Qingzhou Army soon. As I leave, I just want to say one thing. ”
"When you fought for your country, you were heroes."
"But in the future, if someone withholds your military salary, when you make trouble, you must also be a good man! It is said that the emperor is not a hungry soldier, but I am afraid that some people don't even understand this truth. ”
"You deserve the pay. If someone withholds military salaries, they will make trouble when they should make trouble. If something goes wrong, I'll fix it. If you can't make a big fuss, how can I know? ”
The soldiers laughed loudly, they never knew what a lack of military pay meant, and in Weihai and Liugong Island, there had never been a shortage of military salaries.
No one thought that Liu Yu would leave and leave such a sentence.
But these soldiers took this sentence to heart.
"Don't worry, my lord, if someone withholds our military salary, we will definitely make a big fuss. Right! ”
A few bold men shouted a few times, and the rest of the soldiers laughed along.
Waiting for the laughter to stop, Liu Yu said again: "Of course, if there is such a thing as the Jin people going south and Wuhu Chaohua, I think you still have the heart to serve the country." I never doubted that. ”
"In my opinion, there are only two kinds of battles. One is to bring your own dry food to protect the country and the world; The other is to use your bayonets and cannons to fight for more land and wealth. ”
"There are temples and common people, and each has its own division of labor. The people in the temple should let those of you who are soldiers never have to learn from Yue Wumu, and you will never have the opportunity to bring your own dry food to protect the country and the world. ”
After saying the last sentence, Liu Yu saluted these soldiers, jumped on his war horse, and without looking back, he left the camp with two hundred selected guards.
"Send Lord Liu!"
I don't know who shouted first, and the rest of the soldiers spontaneously shouted.
Gradually harmonize, into the same voice.
Military music played in the barracks, faint sadness, and the soldiers howled the new songs they learned at the funeral before going over the mountain, which was indescribable.
"Silent two tears, camel bells ringing in my ears......"
Liu Yu never looked back, until he walked far away, then he stopped and looked back.
Thinking about what I had asked the officer before I left, I thought to myself that I wish you would listen.
What the soldiers were instructed was to make the soldiers dare to make a fuss.
What the officers were instructed was to make the officers strictly enforce military discipline.
Since the emperor wants to appease, then if anyone goes to rob and annihilate at this time, it will be to give the emperor eye medicine.
The military discipline of the Qingzhou Army is still okay, the military salary is sufficient, and they have been training in a closed manner on Liugong Island on weekdays, and robbery is a technical job, and they have not learned it yet.
But the rest of the troops, especially the group of government soldiers in the Songhua River......
Since you have learned the government military system in the Tang Dynasty, you always have to bear the shortcomings of the government soldiers: if you pay the blood tax to fight, you will go to make a fortune.
Robbery, stealing, hiding smuggling, robbing women, if anyone doesn't do it, and returns to the village, he will be ridiculed as incompetent.
I went out to Dzungaria, but when I got home, I didn't even grab a headscarf, a woolen blanket, a saddle or anything like that, and I couldn't raise my head in the village.
Thinking about being robbed by Du Feng back then, it was already a "volunteer soldier".
Tang Taizong conquered Goguryeo that year, and after the city was broken, the soldiers wanted to rob, and Tang Taizong could only take out money from his own internal money in exchange for the soldiers not to rob.
The emperor should understand this truth, and maybe he will take out money from his inner money to reward him.
However, it is difficult to learn well and easy to learn bad, the Qingzhou Army and this group of government soldiers are so close, it is estimated that they will be able to learn all the five poisons in three or five months.
I don't know how many people will be killed to make an example.
Looking back at the soldiers who followed him to Guazhou, he came to Zhang Sanbiao's side.
"You're in luck, boy. It is said that the brothers advance and retreat together, and the formation should be for everyone for me and me for everyone, but after all, it was you who killed Xiao Celing Dundobu. Your Majesty is going to select meritorious soldiers, and you are going to award them. You kid can be said to be on the rise, so you have to mix up the three turns. What are your plans for the future? ”
Zhang Sanbiao smiled innocently, scratched his head and said, "When I get the money, if I have the opportunity, I will go back to Renzhao first and get my father's grave well." ”
"Just like the big family in our neighboring village, we planted cypress trees and carefully built them with bluestone strips. When the time comes, call all the living people in our village, set up a table for a banquet, find someone who blows, plays and sings, and scatters paper money along the way. If you want to get a big bluestone slab, you should press the stele of your father. ”
"If the grave is to be made the largest and tallest in our village, when the time comes, find out my mother's bones and buy a good coffin, I will need cypress."
"When I have saved enough money, I will hire some people to go to Vladivostok to reclaim the wasteland. As a landlord, my eldest brother is also there, if he has no money, I will help find him a sister-in-law. Get a hundred and ten acres of land, hire three or five long-term workers, and then I will marry a daughter-in-law. ”
"My wife and children don't have to do anything, just squat on the hot kang. When you are hungry, eat white flour buns. ”
This very simple wish made Liu Yu laugh and said, "Cheng, this is really not difficult." As long as you have money, it is not easy to hire long-term workers to reclaim the wasteland? Vladivostok is a good place. Go early and get early. It's good that your eldest brother is cultivating the land over there. In the future, if you can bring people over to reclaim the wasteland, you will not be taxed for five years. In five years, hire some long-term workers, buy cattle and horses, why don't you open a good land of 100 acres? ”
Zhang Sanbiao nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too." I thought that the place could be far away. In the past few years, seeing our ship go often, it will not be far away. My lord, how far is this Vladivostok from Weihai? If you don't go to the sea......"
"Uh...... If you don't go to the sea, it seems to be about the same distance as coming to the Western Regions, right? If you go to the sea, it's much closer. ”
Zhang Sanbiao's eyes were full of expectations for the future, and he thought of a key point.
Stretched out his hand, gestured and said, "When I buy the land, I will buy such a big vat, and buy seven or eight or ten of it." ”
"Didn't the adults say that there would be no land tax for the first five years? So I stored up all the grain, except for those who fed the long-term workers and their families. ”
"A large vat of corn; a large vat of wheat; A large vat of sorghum...... There are three or four hundred catties in one cylinder. Find a carpenter, make a big wooden lid, cover the vat with grain, and hide it. ”
"When there is another famine, there is no fear that the whole family will starve to death. When did I save enough food for three or five thousand catties, and when I sold the surplus grain, exchanged it for money, and married a daughter-in-law......"
The terrible memory of hunger made Zhang Sanbiao's biggest ideal to have seven or eight jars of grain in the future.
Liu Yu couldn't laugh anymore, thought for a while and praised: "Good idea." Don't forget to sprinkle some lime near the tank when the time comes, just like we store grain on Liugong Island. ”
"Hmm. That's what I thought too......"
Liu Yu smiled, patted Zhang Sanbiao's shoulder, and walked to the front row, silent.
