"Really? Is there really 5 buckets? ”

Another strong substitute exclaimed in surprise:

"Isn't that more than the servant takes?"

"Hehe, what is the servant?"

Xu Shizhen walked up to this person and gently hammered his shoulder with a fist:

"As long as you work hard, you will definitely have a better future in the future."

Subsequently, Xu Shizhen shouted loudly to all the onlookers:

"Those of you who are brave are not guilty of dying for that little substitute service!"

"We new army don't care where you come from! Regardless of whether you were a slave or two shifts before, you are all equal in the new army, and you will be promoted if you have made military achievements, and you may even sit with your family if you violate military law! ”

"You take someone else's name, and when the two years are over, do you want that person to be the ruler for you?"

Xu Shizhen glanced at Tuyu, who was still calm, and said leisurely:

"When you become a team, the salary of the regular army will be doubled, and you will have one stone of grain a month, and then you will have the money to raise a mother-in-law and give birth to a baby to inherit the incense."

He finally saw a look of anticipation on Tuyu's face.

That's right, that's it, veterans of this age, who have no fixed place to live like duckweed, are actually terrified in their hearts, but if they have a home, or just a hope of starting a family, they can be revitalized.

And I am willing to do my best for this hope.

Xu Shizhen smiled with satisfaction.

The Goryeo New Army was paid by the Goryeo Kingdom, but the people who paid it were the officers of Qi Province.

It is self-evident to whom the new army of Goryeo will be loyal.

……

The third brother personally revealed:

The recruitment of the new army in Korea is going very well, and I estimate that in another one to two months, the number of troops in the new army will be basically full.

Now, some of the soldiers in place have begun training.

You're right, during the conscription, I found that as long as the bottom Koreans were given a channel to rise, and then given a higher benefit than before, they would forget the hatred of the previous war and stand with us.

However, such an action did not seem to be welcomed by the Goryeo authorities, who were unwilling to provide the new army with adequate rations, and the rice grains brought to the barracks were mixed with a lot of moldy grain and bran.

In addition, the Koreans seem to be dissatisfied with the large-scale recruitment of slaves and maids by the Odd Soldier Brigade and the improvement of the status of slave and maid soldiers.

I went to the regular brigade to see it, and I don't know if they reported it to you: there are a lot of substitute soldiers in the regular brigade.

At present, about 20 percent of the companies are hired to serve in the service of others, and there are some private slaves and maids who serve as soldiers in place of their masters.

In view of this, I would like to ask the third brother if he can put some pressure on the king of Goryeo, on the one hand, to ask him to provide the new army with food and salary in full, and on the other hand, I hope to improve the status of slaves and maids and substitute soldiers in the regular brigade, so that they can better train and fight.

Brother Shizhen respectfully

"Shizhen's work is going well."

Xu Shiyang smiled and waved his hand, motioning Zhao Lin to put away the private letter that Xu Shizhen wrote to him.

Wen Yue said with a little dissatisfaction: "The private message is all about work, has your brother been born to this point?" ”

"Man, it's a good thing to talk about work, my brothers have their own careers, if I can help, I will naturally help them, and I won't interfere in the problems they can solve by themselves, this is trust."

"You want your brothers to have their own careers?"

"Why do you think I don't want to?"

"It's nothing, I just think you don't think the same way as those people in the history books."

"Who are the people in the history books?"

"When I didn't say it."

"Huh."

Xu Shiyang walked up to Wen Yue with a wicked smile, put his ear on her slightly bulging lower abdomen, and listened happily for a long time:

"That is, you dare to say these things to me, and now even Zhao Lin doesn't dare to say that about me."

"Hey, I'm just too lazy to say it." Zhao Lin put away Xu Shizhen's letter, consciously spread a piece of paper on the table, lifted the goose feather hard pen and dipped it in ink and asked, "How do you reply to the letter?" ”

"The issue of cleaning up the replacement service of the regular army brigade will be done according to what he said, and I will inform Li Liang and ask him to remove the slaves and maids who have completed their service."

Wen Yue smiled and shook his head when he heard this, his husband had become more and more majestic, so much so that he now dared to treat the king of a country with a commanding tone lightly.

"As for the issue of military salaries, let him directly lead the troops to ask the local Goryeo officials for a shortage, he has soldiers in his hands, and they are all Goryeo soldiers, as long as he does not hurt the innocent, what is there to be afraid of?"

If the Qi army is too coercive, it is difficult to fight a national war with Goryeo, which is what Xu Shiyang does not want to see.

But when the Goryeo soldiers themselves went to eat large households, the nature was completely different, and this kind of behavior would not stimulate the national sentiment of the Goryeo people.

"Tell him that for the purpose of getting military rations, you can open the official treasury, but you are not allowed to rob - we have a peace agreement with Goryeo, and we have an obligation to protect the Goryeo kingdom, so that we can't control the situation at that time, and the king of Goryeo has come to ask me to fulfill my obligation to suppress the new army of Goryeo."

"Also, remind him that there are some things that he can negotiate with Li Liang by himself, doesn't he also have a county lord of Li Liang's family? If you have this right, you need to use it flexibly. ”

Speaking of which, the little Goryeo girl who was serving beside Wen Yue shrank unnaturally, and her already very thin body was almost completely covered by Wen Yue.

"It's not you, what are you afraid of?" Wen Yue, who was half-leaning on the couch, snorted: "Training the new army well is also good for you Goryeo, you should be happy for your father." What's more, you are now a member of the Xu family, don't always think about your mother's family. ”

"Yes......." The little girl replied cowardly.

Li Xiaoming is only 15 years old, 13 years younger than Xu Shiyang, and as the princess of Heqin, marrying in this strange environment, it is normal to be wary everywhere.

Xu Shiyang glanced at Li Xiaoming and said to Wen Yue: "It seems that she listens to you very much?" Let her follow you in the future, count as your secretary, now that you are inconvenient, you can let her handle it for you at a women's time. ”

"Can she?"

"If you can't teach, people are not stupid, they are still young, and they can always learn if they want to."

"You're really getting the most out of it."

"You dare to tell me this now."

Xu Shiyang said jokingly, and then said to Zhao Lin, who was writing the side:

"Write a letter to Li Liang and tell him that within 4 to 5 months after the training of his new army, we will jointly launch a war against Wan Yan Yinshuke, and I will help him recover both Ping'an and Hamgyong at that time, but in order to ensure victory, he must provide the new army with sufficient food."

"Also, let him prepare three months' worth of food and grass for 30,000 people, and 30,000 laborers outside the new army, just in case of emergency."

"Can he have so much supplies ready?" Zhao Lin stopped writing and asked curiously.

"Of course not, this number is just for him to prepare as much as he can, and it would be good if he could prepare the materials needed by the new army of Goryeo."

Xu Shiyang sneered:

"We have to do our own logistics, and others can't count on it."
