Chapter 53 The Simple Soldier of the Late Han Dynasty

As a Zhang You with the soul of a modern person, he also brought back a little secretary after a month of business trip. In any case, there is always something empty in my heart.

What's even worse is that after this little secretary simply cleaned himself up, it was also very eye-catching at first glance.

Yang Man stepped forward and said: "Lord, this training has captured more than 1,000 prisoners, and the goods have been converted into five baht, and it is estimated that there will be ten carts. ”

Zhang You nodded, this training trip lasted more than a month, and dozens of bandit teams around Houqiu County were defeated, and the entire army finally experienced some wars, and there was a feeling of being reborn.

At this time, the rest of the bandits had disappeared, and the rest were ordinary farmers who had been named bandits, and Zhang You was naturally not ready to trouble these people.

Therefore, it is finally time to go home.

Zhang You opened his mouth and said, "Report the casualties." ”

"Forty-two people died and fifty were disabled."

At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was no concept of pension, soldiers or by killing the enemy to make money, and when they died, they could only consider themselves unlucky, and those who lacked arms and legs simply treated them, and if they could survive strongly, they could only be honestly discharged.

Of course, there is no pension for death, let alone getting money for being disabled and discharged.

Based on this, many soldiers do not want to be a burden to their families, and many choose to commit suicide on the day of discharge.

After all, in this era, life is not valuable, let alone the lives of ordinary people.

Zhang You also knows this, but he knows that it doesn't mean that he can agree.

In his opinion, as long as it is a war, casualties are inevitable, and the soldiers risk their lives to fight for themselves, and as a qualified ruler, the most basic aftermath work must be done.

"Pass the order, from now on, all those who die on the battlefield will be supported by me Zhang You, and I will not let them starve for a day if I am a day, but if he is disabled and unable to work, he will also be supported by me."

In Zhang You's view, his order was just an ordinary promise, but it set off a storm in Yang Man's heart.

There has never been such a thing since ancient times.

"Doesn't he know how much food this sentence alone means?" Yang was full of doubts in his heart, and just wanted to say a reminder, but he was greeted by Zhang You's firm gaze.

He finally stopped saying yes.

Man is a very contradictory creature, and this has been the case from ancient times to the present.

And Zhang You's behavior is also contradictory in Yang Man's heart.

Didn't he know that the families of those soldiers who died in battle would have an even more difficult time after losing this pillar?

Didn't he know that these disabled soldiers would have a bleak life ahead of them?

He knew that as a native of the late Han Dynasty, he knew this better than Zhang You.

Reason told him that Zhang You's behavior was very inappropriate, which would undoubtedly increase his financial burden. With this money, wouldn't it be more advantageous to recruit more soldiers and expand your power?

But in his heart, he was a little closer to him.

Xiang Ling'er had been serving on the sidelines, and when she heard Zhang You's words, an inexplicable light flashed in her eyes.

"This master doesn't seem to be bad."

Xu Sheng and Shaohe received the news as soon as possible. Compared with Yangman, Xu Sheng is undoubtedly more emotional.

"Righteousness!"

With that, he hurried out of his tent. He's going to tell all the robes the news.

Shao He is relatively old, but despite this, the fists in his hands are also clenched tighter.

As a wealthy gentleman in Houqiu County, he doesn't need any pension.

But to be able to follow the lord who thinks he is benevolent and righteous, no matter what, is a fortunate thing, even if this road is a little more rugged.

And the soldiers were obviously much simpler, and the loud cheers even resounded through the heavens and the earth.

At this moment, the morale suddenly rose by three points, and his eyes showed real reverence for the camp where Zhang You was located.

There are even a few stunned people, who are still hanging their feet and sudden, regretting why they didn't die on the battlefield.

Some of them also analyzed it matter-of-factly: "You are stunned, what's good about dying." While you are alive, hack a few more enemies to death, take more bounties and die, won't your family's life be more nourishing at that time? ”

The second stunned suddenly, this is right.

If Zhang You knew, he would vomit three liters of blood.

Even the captives had a little more light in their eyes.

They have to work hard, kill three enemies, and become a real Houqiu army.

In this way, even if you die, your family will still have someone to help take care of you.

Zhang You didn't know how much impact his actions would have on him, at least he didn't have the slightest utilitarianism when he did it.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, wars were common, so there was no need for tedious processes such as carbon basins.

It is enough for the woman in the house to know that her man has returned, whether he has come back completely.

Of course, it is a good thing to have meritorious service and a reward.

As the leader's wife, Lu Lingqi doesn't care about rewards, as long as she can see Zhang You come back completely, it is enough.

After breathing a sigh of relief, she quickly pursed her lips.

Not because of the little secretary around him, but because he didn't take her on this trip.

"My husband will take me with him no matter what."

To be honest, Zhang You didn't expect that this crackdown on bandits would last for more than a month, and originally in his plan, he would first exterminate a nest, come back to repair it, and then go to the second wave.

It's just that once you start suppressing bandits, it's hard to stop.

It's not that Zhang You can't stop, it's those ordinary soldiers who can't stop.

Suppressing bandits is like opening a treasure chest, and the more fierce the thief, the more abundant his belongings.

There are not many dead people, the harvest is still abundant, Zhang You is also very generous to the capture, and under the combination of various factors, the soldiers have a high fighting spirit, which is why it is now.

After getting Zhang You's affirmative answer, Lu Lingqi cared about Xiang Ling'er who was standing behind Zhang You.

"I don't know what to call my sister?"

She could see at a glance Xiang Ling'er's martial arts cultivation in the Gravel Realm. Although it is far inferior to himself, but in this era, there are not many women who practice martial arts, and some of them are even rarer.

Xiang Ling'er stepped forward and saluted: "Mrs. Yu, the cheap name is Xiang Ling'er." ”

At this time, Zhang You felt the need to explain to her well, but Lu Lingqi didn't give him this opportunity, she spoke to Zhang You again: "Husband, not long after you left, a person came to visit, Mr. Xu respected him very much, since he came back, he should still go to see him, after all, he has been waiting for a month." ”

"Oh, I don't know what this person's name is?" Zhang Youcai went home, and he really didn't know anything about it.

"The surname is Hu Ming, the word is Kong Ming, he is a hermit, and the concubine only knows so much."
