Chapter 289: Destiny is in your own hands

I don't know when it began, every time the army goes out on a campaign, it always likes to hold a pledge meeting or something.

Li Yuanjing is not exempt from vulgarity, although he is completely unprepared, but there are two experienced generals under his command who have already prepared everything for him.

Li Yuanjing, who was standing on the high platform again, suddenly didn't know what to say, and the bold words that could arouse the fighting spirit of the soldiers?

It's terrifying to think about, think about it from another perspective, if Li Yuanjing is one of those soldiers, the last thing he wants to hear is these unnutritious words.

There are a lot of words, no nutrition, people are still tired, and the problems that can be solved in a few words, if you have to talk for half an hour and an hour, is this the only way to show your level?

Looking at the army below that has been trained for half a year, it has already taken a look, although it is not as good as those veterans in some aspects, but after some training, they may grow faster.

Li Yuanjing cleared his throat and said loudly: "Two things! ”

This time, Li Yuanjing did not refuse to pass the word, and the oath meeting must be heard by all the soldiers, and only in this way can the grandeur of this occasion be shown.

As the shouts of the soldiers could no longer be heard in his ears, Li Yuanjing then shouted loudly: "The first thing is that Hou Junji, who was sent to Silla by the imperial court, rebelled, probably because he felt that the imperial court was sorry for him and should not investigate the fact that he had embezzled a large amount of gold, silver and copper mines. ”

"The second thing, when this king set sail before, he lost hundreds of soldiers on two ships, and these soldiers entered Tamna by mistake, and then while saving Tamna, they were lured by Tamna to help them fight, this time we went on an expedition to solve the problem of Tamna."

"After the official business is finished, let's talk about a few private things, being a soldier to fight, it is a matter of course, although you only have half a year of military experience, but you don't have to be arrogant, now you, in terms of strength, there is actually no difference from two years of government soldiers, less is just some experience, so, in the next battle, don't look down on yourself too much, and don't look down on your opponent too much.

The king of the army discipline or something will not be said, you all know in your hearts that there is no need for connections here, and there is no need for any background, as long as you are willing to work hard, there are many opportunities.

Some of you have become fire commanders, some have become team commanders, some have become brigade commanders, and some have even become regimental captains.

No, they just came across the right opportunity at the right time, and they had good luck to stand out.

Don't get carried away if you are promoted, don't be discouraged if you haven't been promoted, this king will put his words here today, if it doesn't work, this king will definitely go to the end, okay, this king will never be stingy with those official positions.

The family and the country are important, but under this principle, this king does not mind giving you a good future.

Therefore, after returning from this battle, will you become a fire commander or a team leader, or become a brigade commander, or even a captain, or continue to be an ordinary soldier, and wait until the five-year contract expires to retire and return to your hometown? Your future destiny is in your own hands, the opportunity, this king has given it, whether you can grasp it or not, you decide! ”

The two things of public and private are actually the same thing, but Li Yuanjing is still divided into two parts.

The best encouragement for soldiers is not to tell them what righteousness is, the court will not forget you, and will definitely reward you or something.

People don't have much choice now, and once the people here leave the barracks, their only way out is to go home to farm, or enter the workshop?

But no matter where you are, you will definitely not have a comfortable life in the army, there is a stable income here, there are also a lot of opportunities, and if you can have the opportunity to touch the officer position here, who will want to go home and farm? Willing to work as a worker in a workshop?

In the official-based system of China, there is nothing more attractive than the official position, and before they didn't even have the qualifications to touch it, now, Li Yuanjing just told them directly, behave well, and the official position beckons to you in front.

Under such a temptation, in addition to the 10,000 family troops, the other 40,000 people were already screaming impatiently.

When I saw that the recruits had become officers in the same period, it was false to say that I was not annoyed, everyone was also born in poverty, and they all experienced a hellish life for three months, why can people become officials? And what about yourself?

Some people think that this may be fate, but some people think that it is their luck, and if they have that opportunity, they are not necessarily worse than them.

And now, here's that opportunity......

"Your speech is really refreshing......" Li Daozong looked at Li Yuanjing with a smile, this is probably the most straightforward oath meeting in history, and all of Chiguoguo's special mothers are interests.

But I have to admit that the effect is good.

"Although this time the war came suddenly, the government and the opposition are all looking at it, if there is no accident this time, Your Majesty can still help us block some people's mouths, but after this time, the court must have an explanation!" Li Ji said slowly.

The biggest rule here is that there are no rules, everything is in the process of exploration, and whether the model here can be sustained, whether it can be recognized and accepted by the imperial court, depends on the effect of this expedition.

If there was no matter of Hou Junji's rebellion, the time for verification would probably be in the second half of this year when they went to Tamna, but now it is half a year ahead of schedule, which is also a challenge for them.

Bringing new recruits to the army and bringing veterans to the battle are different requirements for generals, you must clearly understand what kind of strength your troops are carrying, and then think about it reasonably, what kind of battle can you fight?

If you use the strength of a veteran to fight with new soldiers, even if you win in the end, it will be a miserable victory.

Therefore, many generals throughout the ages have been planted on this, without a clear understanding of their own strength, and without a clear understanding of the gap between the enemy and us.

Li Yuanjing thought about it for a long time, and then he spoke: "This time Uncle Wang goes first, General Li follows, this king last, the target is to go to Tamluo first, and a team of Xue Li will be there to guide you, and after you arrive, Uncle Wang will be in charge of the west, and General Li will be in charge of the east, and all obstacles will be cleared within a month!" In addition, send someone to Baekje to contact Xue Li to see the situation in Silla and decide on other matters! ”

"Well, the old man will leave tomorrow!" Li Daozong nodded, he had no objection to this arrangement.

The troops were divided into three batches a long time ago, because there were not enough ships to transport 50,000 people to sea at the same time, and it was a dangerous decision to go to sea without a large ship, but now there is no way.

The first two batches had 18,000 men each, and the last batch had 14,000 men, of which 10,000 were split into three parts, the first two batches were 3,000 each, and the third batch was 4,000 men.

The previous plan was basically set up, but it was not determined who would set off first and who would set off later, and the battle plan also made three sets, one was to go straight to Silla, and then to pack up Tamna, the other was to go to Tamna first, then Silla, and the last set was to go to Silla first, to see where the situation was, if the situation allowed, send 5,000 people to turn around and go directly to Tamna, and both sides at the same time.

With an army of 50,000 armed to the teeth, it is completely nuclear to attack Tamna in three batches with a population of just over 100,000. Bounce to blow up mosquitoes.

But everyone understands Li Yuanjing's intention, first use the mosquito Tamluo to let the soldiers practice their hands and familiarize themselves with the war, so as not to be overwhelmed by the real Tang army elite later.
