Chapter 1: Attacked
My head was splitting, my head was dizzy, and after a period of darkness, the smell of blood penetrated into my nose, and my ears were mixed with the sound of arrows breaking through the air, and I saw a long arrow about three feet long piercing straight into the wheel of the carriage beside me.
Cold sweat broke out behind him, and he saw corpses everywhere, and the red blood on the beach was so dazzling under the blazing sun. The scattered weapons were also mixed with a large number of stumps and broken arms.
The scene in front of him is deeply engraved in my heart, and reality has impacted Li Zhi's worldview again and again.
"Crossed over~"
Even if he has dreamed countless times, but when he really crossed, Li Zhi was still a little afraid, the tragic ancient battlefield, and the bloody scenes made Li Zhi, a college student who had grown up under the influence of red education for more than 20 years in the 21st century, set off turbulent waves in his heart.
Suddenly, a cold arrow came out of nowhere and shot straight at Li Zhifei, Li Zhi forgot to move when he saw that his limbs were stiff, and he closed his eyes slightly and thought, "Could it be that I just crossed and died?" This is probably the worst traverser," I couldn't help laughing at myself.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, the sword flashed, and the arrow landed decisively.
"Your Highness forgives your sins, and it will be too late to save you!"
There was a thunderous sound in his ears, and Li Zhi, who had escaped, turned his head happily to see a burly man in armor.
"Lu Qian?" The name popped up in my head, and a series of memories flooded into my mind like a flood...
This is not any known dynasty, his own name is also Li Zhi, and he is the fourth prince of the current Great Xia Dynasty, and he is the king of letters. The vast province in the northwest of the imperial dynasty was his fiefdom.
The Great Xia Dynasty implemented a provincial system for local hierarchical management, with thirteen provinces on its territory.
Suxi Province is on the border of the Imperial Dynasty, bordering the two countries of Beilong and Dajin, under the jurisdiction of seven cities, each city has jurisdiction over four counties, each city and each county army has a small garrison, but where the border place is set up a guard to use the garrison, the military important place is to set up a scale battalion sentry army. Gantang County in the Acropolis is the last line of defense between the Imperial Dynasty and the Northern Qiang State, 20 miles outside Gantang County is the magnificent Yuqing Pass, Yuqing Pass not only sets up a guard post and has a camp and post garrison, it can be described as a military important place, here and then out of the pass is an endless desert, the barren North Gang Country in the north!
Although Li Zhi was the fourth prince of the imperial dynasty, he was not loved by the emperor in the end, and was assigned to the Suxi Province in the northwest of the Dynasty, which was the poorest of the thirteen provinces of the Imperial Dynasty, and the northwestern part of the province was the Northern Evil Kingdom that was in constant friction with the Great Xia Dynasty, and the northeast was the Dajin Kingdom where cavalry was prevalent, and the endless grassland made the geographical location of Suxi Province very embarrassing, but it was also extremely important.
For more than two years, he was sent to this chaotic place, coinciding with the deterioration of diplomacy between the imperial dynasty and the Northern Legion Kingdom, the stalemate between the two armies, and a major war could break out at any time.
Li Zhi was shocked, but after calming down a little, he forcibly swallowed his heart and said eagerly: "General Lu, quickly escort this king into the customs."
Lu Qian held the sword in his hand, killed the last enemy soldier casually, and then hurriedly stepped forward and instructed his soldiers to prepare the carriages and horses, pack up the remnants of the soldiers and cut into the pass, it is not appropriate to stay for a long time.
After entering the customs, the tense nerves suddenly relaxed, Li Zhi suddenly fainted with fright, Lu Qian saw this and hurriedly asked the doctor to come to the door, and after confirming that there was no hindrance to simple conditioning, he sent Li Zhi back to Anxi City.
Li Zhi, who returned to Anxi City, recovered after a one-day rest.
In the early morning, the sky was just dawning
Li Zhi looked out the window a little gloomily, after a period of rest, Li Zhi had accepted the fact of crossing, looking at the rising sun in the sky a little gloomy, because of his own willfulness, resulting in the sacrifice of more than 30 soldiers, this is undoubtedly a great psychological pressure for Li Zhi, who has been influenced by the core values of socialism.
After most of the day's adaptation, Li Zhi had already accepted this identity and shouted: "Come on!"
"The old slave is here, Your Highness! What are the commands? ”
"Steward Zhang, order, go down, today because of the death of this king, the thirty-four soldiers will be given a compassionate money of fifty taels of silver with their families."
Steward Zhang was a little worried, and hesitated, "Your Highness, you don't need to give the pension, why not wait a while to report to the imperial court and wait for the household appropriation, besides, now the two banks in the house are not rich, if this pension is distributed according to His Highness's wishes, then the treasury will be in deficit nearby."
Although the fief is large, it is difficult to collect taxes, the land is basically under the name of the family, and there are various excuses to evade taxes, and the industry and commerce in the fief are also underdeveloped, so they can only rely on sporadic taxes to survive.
Li Zhifu forehead, he didn't expect that his dignified son would be a poor bastard, so he waved his hand helplessly. In fact, when Li Zhi was demoted to the west of the province, the mother concubine who was far away in the capital still brought a lot of good things and a lot of money, but the money was lost by Li Zhi's gambling addiction, and the emperor who was far away in the capital heard that at this time in the imperial study, even his favorite jade pen was broken into two, and he was furious and scolded the son!
"How much money is in the house now?" Li Zhi looked hopeful.
"About five hundred taels of gold." Steward Zhang affirmed.
One tael of gold in the Great Xia Dynasty of this time and space is equivalent to about ten taels of silver, and one tael of silver is a thousand dollars, and the palace is now only a hundred taels of gold, which can be described as a poor egg in the royal family.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Zhi still resolutely issued the pension, and he could find a way to earn it again when the money was gone, but he must firmly grasp one thing in his hands, that is, "people's hearts!" ”
"Then report to the court first, but now the palace will pay in advance" Li Zhi also ordered that it was strictly forbidden to be greedy for ink, otherwise it would be severely punished.
Although the four princes are not loved by the emperor, their character is still okay, and they usually don't have any shelves, so they like to gamble. Therefore, no one dares to disobey the slightest.
After sending Zhang Guan away, Li Zhi pondered, although the pension was only paid in advance by the palace, Li Zhi felt that with his cheap father's love for him, he might be a little hanging with this money, and he always had to rely on himself, so he had to think of ways to make some money, reform the old system, and develop the fiefdom economy.
By the way, under the rule of the imperial power of this world, the border army in the prince's fiefdom, the prince cannot be mobilized, the prince only has the right to mobilize the garrisons of various cities in the province, in order to prevent the self-respect of the army, the garrison of each city is not more than 1,000 people, but some city lords still accept it as private soldiers.
At the beginning of the founding of the country, Emperor Taizu took into account the safety of the prince, so he ordered each vassal king to need three guard battalions, each battalion of more than 3,000 people, and the three add up to almost 10,000 people.
