Chapter 427: Han Qi's Silence
Han Qi would never visit a seriously wounded soldier.
First, the mortality rate of seriously wounded soldiers is too high, and even if they don't die, they are almost useless. For him, these people basically have no value for reuse. Second, the situation in the wounded barracks is generally too miserable. Those seriously injured people also fully understand their future situation and know what awaits them, so it is not an exaggeration to say that this place is Shura Hell.
On the battlefield, the Hedong army even had the habit of mending knives for serious injuries. It seems cruel, but in fact, in another way, it is not a kind of relief.
However, the cultivation of the seriously wounded soldiers in front of him was very different from the seriously wounded battalion in Han Qi's image.
It's as neat as the outside, except you can't see the equipment. At this time, the open space was crowded with people, and Han Qi saw that there were some standing, some sitting, and even some lying on the bed, obviously being carried out. These people formed a big circle, and on a large table in the middle, standing on it was a young man in civilian clothes, and without guessing, Han Qi could be sure that this person was Li Ze.
There are no imaginary miserable relatives, at this moment these people are singing loudly, and Li Ze, who is standing on the stage, waving his hands, seems to be beating the beat.
Looking up and seeing You Yong and Han Qi beside You Yong, Li Ze grinned and waved his hand vigorously at the two of them, but shifted his attention to these wounded soldiers.
"This is a song written by our festival marshal, and the name is called starting over." You Yong smiled: "Encourage these soldiers, their warrior career is over, but life has just begun, let them not be discouraged, they are still very young, everything is possible!" ”
Han Qi nodded silently.
He didn't see depression or fear in these soldiers, but he could see an alternative kind of vitality.
He suddenly understood why Li Ze's martial arts were so strong, just look at this wounded battalion, he could understand two or three.
At the end of the song, after Li Ze said something to the soldiers, he jumped off the table, and then under the loud cheers of the wounded, he walked out of the circle and walked towards You Yong and Han Qi.
"I've seen the Grand Steward." Han Qi took the lead in saluting.
"Han Shuai, let's finally meet." Li Ze helped Han Qi up with a smile: "Han Shuai can come over, I'm really happy!" ”
"Han has also admired the name of the chief manager for a long time, and he has admired him for a long time." Han Qi said: "When I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation, the chief manager loves soldiers like a son, no wonder Wuwei is invincible, invincible, and invincible." ”
Li Ze laughed: "Han Shuai, let's talk while walking, this is not the place to talk." ”
The two walked side by side towards the outside, and You Yong fell one step or so behind, whispering something to Li Mi.
"Just now Han Shuai said that I love soldiers like sons, and I really deserve it." Li Ze smiled and said: "I have always regarded these soldiers as colleagues, and my relationship with them can only be described as a kind of cooperation. ”
Han Qi was a little surprised: "If the chief manager doesn't love soldiers like a son, why do these soldiers support you so much?" And I only look at this wounded barracks, looking at the world of Datang, I'm afraid that it is the only one here in charge of the big manager. ”
"Does Han Shuai regard this as a soldier like a son?" Li Ze shook his head and said, "I recruit soldiers, pay them, and they fight for me, this is just an employment relationship." As for such a battalion of wounded soldiers, it is just a means for me to solve their worries. The purpose is only to let them recover from their injuries as soon as possible and continue to fight for me as soon as possible, Han Shuai is a veteran, and he also knows that once the soldiers here return to the team, they will become the backbone of the army. ”
"If it's just an employment relationship, why are they fighting so hard? And after being so badly injured, can you still be so excited? ”
"It's still the same sentence from earlier, I solve their worries." Li Ze spread his hands: "These people, more than ninety percent, come from the lowest level of the people, and military merit is a shortcut for them to go up." Through military exploits, they can move upwards from the class they are in now, thus glorifying the lintel and creating better opportunities for their descendants. In our Wuwei army, there are special military judges, and no one dares to erase their merits. This is one of them. Second, even if they are injured and can no longer fight and have to retire, we will let them have no worries about food and clothing in the future. ”
"How difficult is it to have no worries about food and clothing?" Han Qi sighed.
"It's hard to say, it's not hard to say. Just do it seriously. Li Zedao: "Like these seriously injured, after retiring and returning home, we will give them fifty acres of land, these fifty acres of land do not need to pay taxes, it is their permanent field, of course, it is not allowed to buy and sell, if he has no direct descendants in the future, the government will take it back." After these people returned to their hometowns, they were unable to do some heavy physical farming because of their injuries, and we had a special organization in the township to help him, and if they couldn't find a wife, the government would also help find one for them. ”
"Even my wife is helping to find it?" Han Qi was surprised.
"The family of the prisoner, the woman in the Qinglou who is willing to be good, or the widow, these are all okay." Li Ze said with a smile: "For these women, being able to marry these people is also an opportunity to change their fate." ”
"I can't imagine that the Grand Manager can do this thing!"
"If you can't do this, how can you let these soldiers fight the battlefield and move forward bravely!" Li Zedao: "So, I don't love soldiers like sons, I just give them what they want in exchange for what I want." The kind of method that Han Shuai said about loving soldiers like sons may be able to manage for a while, but not for a lifetime. Say a word Han Shuai or don't like to hear it, your kind of love for soldiers like a son, all depends on the personal charm of the general, changing the general to lead the troops, it may not work, and the combat effectiveness of the army may plummet, but our martial arts are different, we use the system to ensure the combat effectiveness of our soldiers, no matter who leads the troops, these will not change. In my opinion, this is what lasts. ”
Han Qi thought for a moment, but said helplessly: "What the chief manager said is not unreasonable, but this kind of thing is not something that every general who leads the army, or a town, can do, because the conditions really don't allow it." ”
"Our Wuwei used to be no different from all the festival towns." Li Zedao: "But now that we have done it, Han Shuai, change requires courage and a price." Because of the inheritance and conformity, it will look stable, but it will not bring freshness and excitement! ”
Li Ze said it very bluntly, but Han Qi could only be silent.
What does Wu Wei rely on to get to where he is now? Cleaning up the people, measuring the land, a large number of gentry and landlords fell under Li Ze's iron fist, can he Han Qi do this? Can't do it. Even the original Gao Yu didn't do it.
Li Ze now owns more than a dozen states, and he has unified all the financial rights into the town, unified allocation, unified expenditure, can he do this? He couldn't do it either.
Li Ze's military power, financial power, and personnel power were all concentrated in the hands of Jiezhen, and he achieved the next game of chess, can he do it? He couldn't do it either.
Han Qi saw the benefits of doing this, and he could also understand the strength of Wu Wei, and the scene he saw today made him even more frightened, and a feeling of powerlessness suddenly arose in his heart, which made him extremely uncomfortable. Like a small worm, it gnawed at his heart.
Gao Shuai, before you died, you asked me to do my best to contain Li Ze, and to make Li Ze a capable minister who ruled the world, not a hero in troubled times, can I really complete your mission?
Han Qi didn't speak, Li Ze didn't say much, and the group returned to Li Ze's Chinese army tent in silence.
Han Qi came to Xingzhou on Li Ze's order this time, and naturally reacted to the incident in Luzhou. Although the experienced Han Qi was still just watching the flowers and didn't know what Li Ze was going to do, when he saw You Yong also appearing here, he had a little understanding in his heart.
Li Ze is plotting more than just a simple matter of rescuing the emperor.
