Chapter 31: The Army
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Empress Dowager Wei happily agreed to Li Jun's request, Xiao Meier and Li Jun are childhood sweethearts, and they are well-behaved and beautiful, Empress Dowager Wei also likes this girl very much, for this reason, Empress Dowager Wei also specially summoned Xiao Meier into the palace several times, what is unexpected is that Xiao Meier and Li Moyue have become good sisters, but they have wronged Xiaoqing and are ravaged by these two women every day.
The reason why Li Jun wants to marry Xiao Meier is because of the influence of the Xiao family, and on the other hand, Li Jun only knows such a girl in this world, and it is a bit extravagant for him to fall in love as an emperor......
Because Li Jun has not yet got married, Red Sleeves has no name, and he still stays in Daming Palace as Li Jun's personal palace maid, but no one in Daming Palace dares to treat her as an ordinary palace maid, and He Shen also arranged a separate room for Red Sleeves.
In addition, there is a happy event that the imperial examination system has been successfully implemented, and what Li Jun didn't expect the most is that Li Yao really gathered a group of nobles, and then cried and begged them to agree, of course, these are just Li Yao's words of merit, and the specific private transaction has achieved the purpose of all parties, which also intensified Li Jun's idea of mixing sand into the Xungui group.
The government was on the right track, Shang Shutai's efficiency was very high, these young people were also very energetic, and their lifelong events were also settled, so Li Jun set his sights on the army.
Today is the day when the 100,000 troops of the expedition to Chu return to Beijing, Li Jun took the newly established military medical battalion in Huashan to the Yutian camp outside the city early to wait, accompanied by Wei Wuji and Su Jingyun, the commander of the Northern Army, Li Jun and the two generals drank tea in the tent, Huashan led people to work outside, Su Jingyun looked at Huashan and made a lot of barrels outside and asked: "Your Majesty, what is the Huashen doctor doing with so many barrels?" ”
Li Jun replied with a smile: "General Su, the soldiers came from afar, on the one hand, to relieve fatigue, and on the other hand, they were afraid that they would bring the virus from the south, and taking a hot bath was to kill the virus. ”
"Ah, does the virus exist in people?" Wei Wuji asked puzzled.
Li Jun glared at Wei Wuji and said, "Uncle, it's not me who said you, you dare to drink raw water casually in the future, don't blame me for not caring about my uncle and nephew." ”
"Your Majesty, what does this have to do with drinking raw water?"
Li Jun continued to explain: "Buddhists say that one flower is one world, this truth is still right, Huashan has done experiments with particularly thin crystals, and there are indeed many small things in some water, some of these things are beneficial to people's health, and some are viruses and bacteria, and people will get sick when they eat these......"
Li Jun retched as he spoke, and Wei Wuji hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, don't say it, the minister won't dare next time." ”
Li Jun solemnly instructed the two: "Not only must you remember that you will not be allowed to drink raw water in the barracks in the future, but when the time comes, I will order Huashan to formulate a military medical management system, and you will strictly implement this." ”
"Your Majesty rest assured, the ministers will obey the order."
The three of them chatted for a while, and there were horses' hooves outside the camp, and Li Jun immediately got up and said, "Two Aiqing, go with me to meet these hard-working soldiers." ”
"No, Your Majesty."
He Shen immediately arranged for the palace people to change into military uniforms for Li Jun, and Li Jun came to the high platform that had been established long ago outside the camp in military uniform.
One short sound, three long sounds, this is the horn transmitting the signal, Li Jun naturally doesn't understand, Wei Wuji explained: "Your Majesty, this is the signal of the main general, a long voice actually represents the main general to fight, and the three short voices represent the whole army, mixed together means that the main general is dispatched with the whole army, Your Majesty, your tiger is here!" ”
Li Jun Zhengse asked the accompanying officer: "The general is out to greet him, what kind of etiquette should I use to respond?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the emperor star does not move, the stars are flowing this is the way of heaven and earth, the general should show off his strength and praise three times, the soldiers are like tigers, they will be like foxes, and the tide is surging three times to worship the dragon, in order to show closeness, Your Majesty should hold the sword of the Son of Heaven and stand in the center, and the ministers sing praise! This is the gift of returning to the teacher on the side of the road. ”
"Okay, then I'm waiting."
A group of cavalry roared, followed by a forest of feather arrows, knowing that these arrows could not reach him, but Li Jun's still nervous palms were already sweating, He Shen was already screaming to come up and hug Li Jun, and was kicked to the ground by the angry Wei Wuji.
Slowly the cavalry group stopped, Li Jun looked at the emaciated war horses in front of him, and his heart hurt to death, the war horses of the Tang Dynasty were not as good as Beijin and Northern Liao, and the best war horses were all entered into the Northern and Southern Army, and now let the first emperor's mallet arrange a trip to Southern Chu, not to mention how much food and baggage were lost back and forth, these war horses were enough for Li Jun to feel distressed for a while.
At this time, a soldier with full armor came to Li Jun and knelt down and said: "The last general, Lin Dahong, see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." ”
Li Junren brought wine and food to Lin Dahong and said with a smile: "General Lin has worked hard, all the soldiers have worked hard, I have prepared rewards and food, today the curfew in Chang'an City is canceled, and I will receive you under the Xuanwu Gate at night." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The crowd roared.
There were only more than 300 people who could participate in the reception banquet in the evening, and these people were all officers of the army, and Li Jun met with Lin Dahong alone, looking at the report of the battle damage, Li Jun smashed his fist on the case and said angrily: "Zhao Hede is really a disaster to the country and the people, if it wasn't for him instigating the first emperor, my soldiers would not have died in Nanchu in vain." ”
"Your Majesty is angry, although the losses this time are a little bigger, but we have also captured the land of the three counties of Southern Chu, which can be regarded as some results." Lin Dahong comforted.
Li Jun nodded and said: "General Lin, this time it was the first emperor's wrong decision, although the army of Southern Chu is not strong in combat, but it occupies a geographical advantage, so I feel that I still need to set up a new army in the south to fight Southern Chu in the future, and the commander of this new army I feel that General Lin is very suitable, General Lin is originally from Xiangxi, and he is the head of Emperor Jingtai's guards, this time he also went deep into the barren land of Southern Chu, and I feel that there is no more suitable than General Lin in the court, I don't know what General Lin wants?" ”
"Your Majesty reuses, and the minister must do a good job, but this time so many brothers followed the minister to Nanchu, although there are not many meritorious contributions, please Your Majesty still have to give more sympathy, and the military spirit of the province is unstable." Lin Dahong said nervously.
Li Jun helped Lin Dahong up and sighed: "The general is a true general, the general rest assured, I will not chill the hearts of the soldiers, I have decided to triple the rewards of the soldiers who sacrificed in this expedition, and the retired soldiers are ready to be arranged to be taught in the new army, and the battlefield experience of these veterans is the most valuable." ”
"Your Majesty, the last general will be happy and convinced." Lin Dahong said sincerely.
Li Jun pulled Lin Dahong to the city tower and shouted loudly below: "All the gentlemen drink to win." ”
"Long live Your Majesty, long live long live, long live Datang, long live, long live." The shouts of the crowd were heard below.
Li Jun was angry and chanted casually: "Angry hair rushes to the crown, leaning on the railing, Xiaoxiao rain rest." Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, and be fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad. Jingtai is ashamed, and it is still snowing. When the courtiers hate, when will they perish. Driving a long car is broken, and Helan Mountain is lacking. Zhuang is hungry for Hu Lu meat, laughing and thirsty for Hu people's blood. To start from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky. ”
