Chapter 222: Sorry

“......... Yan Shangshu is accustomed to intrigues and tricks? Yang Hao was stunned and said, "How is this possible? ”

"Hmph," Yang Qiu didn't want to say more about this topic, and said, "I've been thinking about it for the past few days, whether it's better to resign from the position of the Taishou of the Northland, and then let you take over." ”

Yang Hao was startled, and hurriedly said, "Why did the eldest brother say this?" It's not that you don't know my skills, and you will lead the troops, and I won't know anything else! ”

Yang Qiu looked at him directly and said, "Anyway, our Yang family now only has a city in Fuping, instead of blocking the way of the lord, it is better to leave only the family and the rest to the state......... I'll hand it over to my lord. It doesn't matter if you don't know anything else, as long as you can lead the troops, it's not a problem to be too guarded. ”

Yang Haoqiang smiled: "Big brother, why did you start talking nonsense?" ”

Yang Qiu slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, I'm talking nonsense, how can I teach each other privately if I keep such an important position?" Naturally, it should be nominated by the Ministry of Officials, and then let the Ministry of Men confirm it. ”

"Thanks to your reminder," he punched Yang Hao twice in the chest and laughed, "The more you really have, the less daring you are." Thinking that when we didn't have anything before, we dared to go out to war with dozens of people. Last year, the Huns were overwhelmed, and I dared to sacrifice my life to go out and gamble, and now, it's time to gamble again! ”

"It's not..... I didn't say anything! ”

Yang Qiu said to himself: "But in this way, your Taishou position will be gone." In this way, you come with me to Yinchuan...... No, I'll go first, the guards can't leave the station without permission. When I finish things in Yinchuan, you can hand over the right to discharge the army and go to Yinchuan to help me. Together, our brothers can make a bigger cause! ”

Yang Hao: "..........."

The more Yang Qiu said, the more excited he became, "Yes, that's it, there are just some vacancies in Shangshu Province now, with your talents, it is enough to be a Shangshu, no matter how bad it is, it's okay to be a waiter first!" ”

Yang Hao looked dazed, who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? I didn't drink! His brain filtered his brother's self-talk, and he began to wonder if he had drunk fake wine.

When Chen Cheng returned to Yinchuan with more than 4,000 soldiers and horses, soon, cheers of joy and cries of grief began to sound in the city. The trapping camp and the flying bear hussars have the greatest combat achievements, and as long as they survive, almost all of them have been rewarded. The list of rewards submitted by the Ministry of War was quickly approved, and a large number of silver and copper coins were distributed.

However, as the backbone of the main force, these two tooth soldiers fought a series of battles, which inevitably produced a lot of casualties. It's okay if you're injured, even if you have broken your hands and feet, and your intestines are bleeding out, you can still be saved. But if you die on the battlefield, or if you don't wait to be rescued, then you're really dead.

Chen Cheng could only let the injured heal quickly, but he couldn't make the dead get back on their feet.

Therefore, those who died on the battlefield will never come back. The only things they could bring back were their ashes and the things they used during their lifetime.

Yan Xing's face was solemn, and his steps were heavy as he walked through the street and walked in front of a private house. He took a deep breath, then reached out and tried to knock on the door, but hesitated. He stood there, his palms in the air, and after a long pause, he slammed down hard.

"Bang bang bang!"

"It's coming!"

A woman's voice came from behind the door, and then there was a "creak" and the door was opened. When the woman saw that Rizheng was coming with several soldiers in battle robes, she immediately understood, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Is it .........", the woman said with tears in her eyes, trembling, "Is it my eldest ..............?"

Yan Xing said with a heavy heart: "I am Sima Yan Xing of the Flying Bear Hussars, and I am here to return Ling Lang's relics and present the bereavement of the official mansion. ”

He took the bag from the soldier who followed behind him, handed it to the woman, and said mechanically and numbly: "Ling Lang fought bravely in the army, because because of him, he saved the lives of many of his comrades, he died heroically, and the governor's office expressed regret for his death.......

The woman took her son's relics, fell to the ground, and wept bitterly.

"Son, my son!" She sat on the ground, clutching her blood-stained robe, and cried, "I can't help you eat more....... Woo.... Woo woo.........."

"Mother, what's wrong?" A young man ran out of the backyard with a hoe, still covered in dirt, "It's big brother..... Big Brother is dead? How is this possible? His martial arts are so good! ”

Yan Xing turned his head, took out a money bag, stuffed it into the woman's arms, and said, "This is Ling Lang's pension, a total of ten silver coins, which can be exchanged for twenty yuan. Chen said that he was sorry that he could not bring your son back. Please put a fingerprint here to indicate that the money has been received. ”

The woman trembled and pressed her handprints on the register, grabbed the purse and her clothes, and wept bitterly. Yan Xing ran out with people in embarrassment, he had seen that situation dozens of times just now, and it stands to reason that he should have gotten used to it, but he still felt very uncomfortable every time.

He said to Li Zheng: "This family has already been there, and you also put a handprint here." ”

Li was retired at the time of disarmament, and because of some military exploits, he was made a petty official and was in charge of seventy or eighty households. He still retains his status as a reservist, and if the war expands, he will be among the first to be drafted. Li Zheng quickly clicked on the roster, and said a little disappreciatively: "How can there be immortals in war?" Tell me that the lord is good enough for us, we usually pay the army, and there is a pension for the dead, but in the past, we used to dig a pit and bury it. ”

Yan Xing didn't have much in common with this kind of old Qiu Ba, and he didn't want to distinguish with him, so he avoided the smell of wine coming out of the other party's mouth, and explained: "Don't forget to notify the documents issued by the Ministry of War, the martyrs' families can have two sons enrolled in school, and they will be raised by the government at the expense of the government." If he has no son, he will be able to have a daughter. ”

Li Zheng grinned: "What if I don't have a daughter?" ”

Yan Xing said impatiently: "If you don't even have a daughter, brothers and relatives can do it. But don't get confused about the order, the officials will send someone down to check, if it is found that there is a problem, you are probably not doing it properly! ”

Li Zheng smiled and said, "I know that when I was in the army, if something went wrong, I had to hit the board, and if it was in wartime, maybe I would have to kill my head!" ”

Yan Xing endured his nausea, wiped away the saliva Xingzi that the other party had sprayed on his face, and asked; "How many more?"

Li Zheng flipped through the roster and replied, "There are three of us in this one!" ”

Yan Xing turned around and said, "Then hurry up, you must finish it before today!" ”

"Yes!" Li Zheng said loudly: "Follow me!" ”

He looked up at Yan Xing's back, and then showed a sly smile. Xindao: You guys rely on knowing a few words, and they look down on people one by one, and Naigong will spray your saliva, don't you have to endure it?

Li Zheng took a few steps forward, and then thought again: This guy seems to have good martial arts, but he has been promoted to the rank of military master so quickly....... No, the children at home should also let them go to school!

More than 5,000 people went out on the expedition, and only 4,000 returned. Although many of the casualties were caused by Qiang Huyi, they had to be paid pensions. However, compared with the tooth soldiers, Qiang Huyi received half of the pension. And it was not sent directly to the soldiers' homes, but to the generals who led the troops. As for how many of them will end up in the soldiers' homes, it is completely unknown.

Because of the weather, the Qiang cavalry and the Xianbei cavalry led by Bali Bashi did not continue to the north, but stayed at the foot of Helan Mountain. Chen Cheng let them stay in the pastures reserved by the government, and provided them with a large number of soybeans, black beans, potatoes and other grains, and also gave them a lot of spirits made from grains.

There are not many soldiers and horses in these two departments, and there is no need to pay military salaries, just give them a little more food. The soldiers at the bottom found a sheltered place at the foot of Helan Mountain, and began to set up tents, dig ondols, and prepare for the winter. The leaders and generals of the upper echelons took the rewards and squandered them in Yinchuan City.

Whether it was spirits, cotton, woolen blankets, swords, bows and crossbows, they all came and went. Even if you have money, you can buy standard iron armor in some licensed shops. Of course, that price is really expensive.

The tooth soldiers began to take turns on vacation, but the officers were not allowed to rest. Although this expedition was not a big defeat, it also failed to take advantage. The only gain was to weaken Han Sui's power by half. Officers at all levels were biting their pens, thinking hard about how to write war reports, and when they were summing up the problems that had been exposed, Chen Cheng was not allowed to be idle.

After a series of battles, his experience points were enough, and he finally rose to level forty-three. After adding a little "intelligence" and two more "engineering", Chen Cheng spent two days sorting out the knowledge that came out of his head, and then began to continue to design new textile machines.

He now has a lot of knowledge related to machinery in his head, and after sorting it out, many ideas have come up, but everything has to be based on the technological level of this era. Chen Cheng didn't want to be able to design the latest products like a certain era in later generations, but he couldn't produce them himself, and he had to find someone else to do the OEM, which would be too sad.

It's just sad to urge, it's chilling to earn money on your knees, but others always use this to get stuck in your neck, so it's unbearable.

It is not appropriate to put the set of "building is better than buying, and buying is better than renting" on the ideal state and political power.

But there's a few things that need to be done before we can get back to work. Originally, there were only tooth soldiers guarding the governor's mansion, but Yan Zhong later sent back a large number of trained girls. These girls spend the rest of their time in the house free every day, except for some cleaning work.

Although Chen Cheng felt that it was nothing to watch the singing and dancing, he had to lead by example, and his usually busy feet did not touch the ground, so the girls never had the opportunity to perform again until this time.
