Ruo Zhengdao's light overflowed from the open box, and seemed to condense into a ball, floating above Liu Yu's head.

The soldiers, whose eyebrows and hair were covered with frost, saw a large box of dogskin hats, sheepskin knee pads, cotton cloth around their faces, felt stockings from the snow, and cotton gloves with ropes......

These things in the cold and frozen ground are really like the light of the righteous path that emerges in the darkness of the night.

These things that were exchanged for two pieces of silver suddenly warmed the hearts of the sturdy men of the two or three hundred.

This Lord Liu said that he cares for the soldiers, but it turns out to be true? Didn't you say it casually?

Looking at everyone's expressions by the firelight, Liu Yu thought to himself that the thousand taels of silver were not wronged.

The life experience of his previous life taught him a very simple truth: when the boss said that when he took the company as his home and his brothers and sisters, it was not as useful to let out 10,000 farts as to really make some money and raise his salary.

You pretend to care for the soldiers, and the soldiers pretend to defend the country. The lessons of the forerunner can be summed up in such a sentence.

Before the hats and socks were handed out, several people had already taken the lead and knelt on the ground.

"Lord Liu!"

There is no such thing as allegiance, only a simple salutation.

But there are too many words in this title.

Someone took the lead, and hundreds of people knelt on the ground together, learning the same words, shouting those three words, and there would be no more.

Looking at the back of the black press, Liu Yu didn't say anything that was out of line with the times, but said lightly: "This time I went north, it must be hard." It's not easy for anyone, everyone is raised by their mother's father. I am a man, I only have one sentence, compare my heart to my heart. ”

"Get up. Steamed buns, send all these things down. ”

Touching his ears that were a little hard from the cold, Liu Yu thought to himself that he could finally wear the Quebec beaver fur hat given by his mother, and it would not look so abrupt in a bunch of dog fur hats.

"This is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go. There is a way, there is a destiny for things, and there are people for things. Counting nine cold days, dripping water into ice, this destiny, I can't do anything. can count nine cold days, dripping into ice, dog skin hats to protect ears, cotton gloves to protect hands, but it is personnel. ”

"I can't do much, I can only say that I can do my best. If you have any trouble in the future, just come to me and complain. If it can be solved, it will be solved naturally; If it can't be solved, please understand, there is really nothing you can do. ”

A word of kindness, the soldiers were grateful, and the cry shook the sky.

Liu Yu thought to himself, banknote ability is also a kind of ability. For the noble family, the simplest and most effective ability.

The mess is added together, and there are some useless ones, which cost nearly two thousand taels of silver in total. On each person, it is also nearly eight taels, which is equivalent to a set of armor of elite soldiers.

Collecting the heart of a soldier, saying the truth is like a fart. Even if you say it, you have to give benefits and then talk about righteousness, otherwise fart will have no taste.

But the words in "Ode to Emperor Friedrich" break down: The king of France used hair oil as his military pay, and we received our military pay on time every week. Who can collect money on time like we in Prussia?

Although he does not pay a salary, the things he buys with real money are enough to win people's hearts: this is just a deal, and he needs these soldiers to shed their blood for his future, to spend more, and to earn more.

Not far away, the veteran and arrogant Butu and others who watched this scene were silent for a long time.

"Master Shu, what do you think?"

The old man asked out loud, and Jiao Lao Butu pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I underestimated Lord Liu before." Since his family is a noble family, it is nothing to be favored by money. The difficult thing is that at this time, there is really the wind of a general. ”

The veteran has also been in the army for half his life, and he understands the meaning of arrogant Butu.

Now after Hetuala, there are still some roads from the Mudanjiang River, and there are mountains along the way, which is difficult to march and demoralized.

The soldiers were not necessarily afraid of battle, but they were afraid of such a long and hopeless march, and this was the time when morale was at its lowest.

Once on the river, you can reach Handoriwei in seven or eight days at most, and then you can reach Rakshasa Castle after walking for another six or seven days. In particular, the surface of the river is frozen by the water, and it is as smooth as a road, so it is not hard to walk at that time.

Moreover, when you really get to the Rakshasa Castle, although it is dangerous, you can at least have something to do, so that you will not be as demoralized as you were halfway through the road.

These things have been prepared for a long time, but they have been delayed until now, which is nothing more than hoping that when morale is at its lowest, the soldiers will continue to muster up their strength.

Looking at the choice of this timing, it was really not in a hurry or impatient, and the choice was just at the right time, and it also made up for what the team lacked most at this time - not just warm shoes and hats, but the morale of the long march that was about to collapse.

Thinking of the previous contempt, Jiao Lao Butu began to be convinced.

Thinking that His Majesty has made him a guard, it seems that he does have some ability, so that the army's heart is fully collected, let alone dozens of people, he will not give up, and he has suppressed these people along the way.

I thought this person was ridiculous before, and I was stupid to read, but I really thought that the stories in the biography of General Li and Sun Wu were true. Now it seems that he was stupid.

Think about these winter must-haves, even if you are long in Handoliwei, you may not be able to think so completely, and some of them are even seemingly simple but actually wonderful.

I can't see how the battle went, and maybe there was no need to fight at all this time. But on leading the troops and the soldiers, they will not mutiny, and I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up even if I pat the horse.

This man's mind is really profound, and it really can't be underestimated.

When the dogskin hat and cotton gloves arrived, he was even more impressed.

Don't mention the dogskin hat, as long as you have money, it's not a difficult thing.

But this cotton glove is obviously put into thought, a pair of gloves are tied with ropes, and they can be hung directly around the neck when not in use, so that the soldiers will not take them off because they are afraid of losing them, and they will be of great use when fighting.

I secretly admired it in my heart, put away my previous contempt and disdain, and thought that this person was a backer, not only was he born in Xunwei, but he also had such skills, and His Majesty valued it, so he needed to get married slowly.

Before, he was too imposing, and he looked down on these gentlemen, and his tone was offended.

If you show favor directly, you will be laughed at by the other party, you need to take your time, and moisturize things and change your attitude silently......

With this high morale, he marched more than 40 miles the next day.

When he set up camp in the evening, Liu Yu had already secretly learned the skills of arranging camping from Jiao Lao Butu, and without waiting for Jiao Lao Butu to speak, he naturally received the power and responsibility of giving orders into his own hands.

The crowd was unaware of the difference, unaware and even naturally accepted this shift of power and responsibility.

Jiao Lao Butu knew that he might only be a deputy in the future, and he had to remember this and never do some more transgressions.

Since Lord Liu didn't tell him, he directly ordered to set up camp, and I must not give Lord Liu any more eyes in the future.

looked at the camp arranged by Liu Yu, and he didn't say much, he knew in his heart that this was a thigh and needed to be hugged well.

There are more people who have the ability, but there are few who have the ability and are the sons of the nobles, and those who have the ability may not be promoted, and the children of the nobles have the ability to rise, and they will definitely be able to rise.

Arranging camping is not a skill, it is just an ordinary means, but it can be placed in the capital lords, which is already a great thing. It is said that during the change of Gengxu in the previous dynasty, there were noble children who were scared to pee their pants, and it was really rare to be able to command 300 noble children to camp.

But to hug the thighs, and have the disdain that was revealed before, this requires both standing and standing, and it takes some effort.

After figuring out this section, he walked into the tent and said in a businesslike tone: "My lord, I will arrive at the Songhua River in four or five days." There is a saying, I need to remind adults. ”

Listening to the title from Brother Liu quietly to an adult, Liu Yu only regarded it as his "wise and martial arts domineering spirit" to suppress the arrogant labor Butu, secretly happy in his heart, and did not correct it, and said: "You say it is." I grew up in the capital, and I am not familiar with this, far inferior to you. ”

"My lord, I grew up in Handoliwei, and the border affairs are not as good as the capital. There are some things that adults may not know. ”

The reminder that was about to be said was roughly said, but Liu Yu only smiled indifferently after listening to it.

Jiao Lao Butu said that the so-called family of soldiers and bandits is not a lie. Those who go to the Rakshasa country to smuggle and have a relationship will take the righteous road station; It doesn't matter, or if the relationship is not strong enough, they will take some special paths.

Taking advantage of the freezing of the Songhua River, some North Korean smugglers will also transport some goods to the Rakshasa along the frozen Songhua River to sell.

The border army thinks that this is a kind of "side business", and if there is an opportunity, they will not let go of the money they have come for free.

If there are few people, they will all be killed and the goods will be robbed, and no one will know anyway.

If there are a lot of people, then scare it, the brigade comes, and wants to buy the road money, which is generally two or one plus five.

In wartime, he is a government soldier, and in his leisure time, he is a robber, and this has always been the case.

When dividing money, there are unspoken rules for dividing money according to the one who finds the trace and cuts the most people. Otherwise, in this bitter cold place, there is no oil and water, and no one will come.

Handoliwei is the most northeastern, but there are very few fugitives from the government here, almost none.

The imperial court thought that Han Duoli had a lot of skills, but in fact it was just the only way to control the smugglers, and the oil and water were huge, so the fool fled.

However, border guards such as Hetuala and Changbaishan Temple that they passed through before are further south, but there are people fleeing every year, but it is just because it is too bitter cold and there is no oil and water to fish.

A family of soldiers and bandits, this is the norm of the feudal dynasty, Liu Yu was not surprised at all.

On the contrary, if he said that the soldiers here were loyal and patriotic, and never complained about fighting for the country, he should feel that this was not normal. It had to be a fantasy world.

Fortunately, the Rakshasa people look very different from the national dynasty, otherwise if they borrow a head for money to spend, I am afraid that there will be no less.

If it's just the soldiers of the Handuoli Zhichong Mansion, some tribes in the forest will do this from time to time, and they won't let it go if they seize the opportunity, and there is no way to sue anyway.

This reminder is because I am afraid that there will be tribes or border troops, and I think this is a big piece of fat meat, so I will take a bite when I come up - patrolling the border, those border troops are not active; Squatting on the smugglers in the winter, that's absolutely positive.

After reminding him kindly, Liu Yu thanked him, and Jiao Lao Butu left without saying anything.

He also knew that if Liu Yu couldn't think of how to solve it, he would come to him; If you think of it, why should you be clever and talk more?

When the time comes, if you have nothing to do and ask yourself again, then you still have a personal favor, isn't it beautiful?
