Chapter 309: A Family in the Army
You must know that the houses in Malu City are very rare now. And most of the rewards from the Governor's Palace are in the prosperous areas close to the mosque. Generally, it is impossible for a wealthy or powerful businessman, or a well-known imam or a high-ranking official, to live in such a place.
Therefore, those high-ranking generals are grateful for Li Chengji's kindness.
Immediately after that, ordinary generals with great merit came to power.
As a prisoner, Abu Laiis was in the enemy camp, but he fought to the death with the enemy. Eventually, the cathars were subjugated to a tribe. Therefore, on the platform of meritorious service, I was fortunate to receive Li Chengji's personal encouragement.
Although it was only a few simple words, Ab Laiz was very moved. He even secretly decided in his heart that when he returned to the barracks, he would definitely take off the big hat on his body. Otherwise, the place where the governor touched his shoulder will lose its taste.
However, his ideas are in the minority after all.
Because most people don't have the honor of being encouraged by Lee Seung-ji. It is also because of the large number of people, so from the perspective of saving time and physical strength, Li Chengji only symbolically encouraged a few generals who have made great contributions.
The rest of the people let the six Diwan do it for them.
As these generals, it is not bad to get the personal credit of the six Di Wan.
When the last meritorious soldier came on the field, Li Chengji never took matters into his own hands again. made the heads of the divisions busy for a while.
As a surrenderer, Elmani was also placed in the ranks of ordinary soldiers. I had to look at Li Chengji from a distance from afar. I wanted to get closer, but every soldier wanted to get closer to Li Chengji. So no matter how much he squeezed forward, he was blocked.
Wait until everyone is still and the teaching begins. Squeeze any further, and it's very out of place. So Elmani could only stand in the queue unwillingly.
Fortunately, the reward that was distributed made him feel a lot better. Like a thousand dirkhans, two sheep, and a camel, he instantly had a relatively rich family property. The scimitar that was also given was made of fine iron forged from the Doge's Palace.
Although it cannot be sharpened like clay, it is extremely stiff. Even if you use a thousand pounds of boulders to hammer it, it will not break the boulder.
What is even more gratifying is that it has an inscription in the governor's own handwriting. Although most of them are from the hadiths of the Qur'an, they have different meanings because they are written by the governor himself.
Armani carefully tucked it away on the inside of his garment, treating it as a treasure.
In this way, nearly half an hour passed, and the entire ceremony came to an end. But those soldiers who have not been awarded meritorious service are not counted like this. Rather, when they return to the barracks, they are given a certain reward.
It's just that compared with those soldiers who have made meritorious contributions, it is not so rich.
But something is better than nothing!
And the rewards are also based on everyone's merits.
Therefore, even if the soldiers will have a certain abnormal psychology because of the number of rewards, they will not complain. And on the contrary, the soldiers also gave birth to the heart of making meritorious contributions. It makes them more heroic on the battlefield.
As the person in charge of the meritorious service, Li Chengji did not mean that he was free after the merit ceremony. Because many good generals and auxiliary political talents in the army that Li Wei has collected are waiting for him to meet them.
It is also for this matter that he has always attached the most importance to. So I don't want to let these rare talents wait a little longer.
So he followed his father to the great tent where the governor was.
At this time, there were quite a few people outside the tent, and many of them were known to him. People like Musayab Gyawuddin Sambu, Kakhtaba Charandan, Malik Abdul and others were all old followers of Prince Rajad.
It's just that they are not from the Kipchak tribe, but from the great families of the land of Persia.
Hundreds of years ago, it was one of the six armies of the Abbasid Empire. If not for the later period, the sultan relied too heavily on the Turks. As a result, in the barracks, the six great families gradually lost their power. Unspeakably, these families still control the army of the Caliphate.
Now, with the passage of time, the Abbasid Empire has been divided for hundreds of years. The glory of these great families has also become a long time in the past. Most of his nephews and nephews left Baghdad for remote places such as Egypt and Persia.
But their demeanor of practicing martial arts for generations has been maintained to this day. During the reign of the Seljuks, their sons and nephews also joined the army.
And he has made great achievements and has a great reputation.
It's just that compared to the glory of the ancestors, it's still not worth mentioning.
At that moment, the ancestors of the three tribes of Musayab, Kakhtaba and Malik chose to migrate to the land of Persia. and settled in the provinces of Khuzestan, Kumis and Kushistan.
Because of his long admiration for his great name, the former Sultan of Khorezm did his best to include them in the army. As a result, Khorezm's rule in the land of Persia became extremely stable.
However, the current Sultan Mahamat, in his repeated wars with the Gurs, imposed heavy taxes on the land of Persia. So that the people are exhausted and fishing, and the people are not able to make a living. The local people were also extremely indignant about it.
As a result, Rajad only paid lip service to the promise of exempting the Persian lands from taxes for a year. Most of the generals from the land of Persia took refuge in Rajad.
Of course, this was not just the generals of the Persian land who took pity on the Persian people and lived in misery. Rather, it is because of the heavy levy, which seriously affects their control over the locals. Therefore, in order to transfer the dissatisfaction of the people, we can only do something beneficial to the people on the bright side.
Such a tax reduction and exemption is very easy to buy people's hearts.
It's a pity that Prince Mahama, who was in a good situation and could oust Mahamat from the Sultan's throne, was suddenly assassinated. The entire prince's army also fell apart.
For the sake of the family's future, these three families accepted the olive branch thrown by the Khorasan Governor's Palace.
In fact, Mahamat did not fail to show favor to them. and is willing to marry the princess to them. But these big families are not easy to fool.
After all, there are only two princesses to be married. With so many people vying for it, the forces cause strife. And Mahamat did not just say this to them. Some of the generals of the Kipchak tribe got the news that he revealed.
For this, even stupid fights.
With such evil intentions, these great families are even more wary of Mahama. So Li Chengji's olive branch came just right.
Therefore, in the dark, there is also fate.
These causes and effects, Yang Jier extinguished, naturally did not know. Of course, even if he knew, it would be difficult to figure out. Because without a certain amount of experience, it is difficult to sort out so many entanglements of interests.
