Chapter 464: Zhang Qiu's Request
Li Huaitang remembered meeting Zhang Qiu during the Battle of Ningyuan last winter, when he fought side by side with him to repel the onslaught of the Turgish. After nearly a year, Zhang Qiu looks much more mature, more calm, and less arrogant.
"The tiger and wolf ride a hundred horses, Zhang Qiu has seen the general." Seeing Li Huaitang, Zhang Qiu's mood was still the same, and his loyalty was 'revealed' in the 'agitation'. He was quite excited to be summoned by the general, even more happy than to get an extra silver star.
Li Huaitang said with a smile: "What's the matter, can there be any gains in this Shiguo Battle?" ”
"The 'legs' were slow, they couldn't outrun the Flying Tiger Ride, and only two prisoners were captured." Zhang Qiu was embarrassed to talk about his exploits.
"Hehe, since ancient times, young people have been heroes, and if you have a good experience, you will have more opportunities in the future." Li Huaitang was very satisfied with Zhang Qiu's 'spirit' appearance. The opportunity of the Tiger Wolf Rider was indeed not comparable to that of the Flying Tiger Rider, but Zhang Qiu's fighting spirit was not affected in the slightest.
Zhang Qiu's 'stiff' and 'chest' raised his head and shouted. Li Huaitang turned his words and asked about his handling of slaves and hostage-taking that day. So, Li Huaitang heard Zhang Qiu's version, which was not much different from the previous complaint, but when he looked at it horizontally, it was a peak on the side of the ridge, and the angle of each person was different, and the answers he saw were definitely different.
Li Huaitang was noncommittal, and just asked Zhang Qiu's opinion calmly.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiu said: "Zhang Qiu is reckless, princess, you have caused trouble to the general, and you will ask for punishment!" ”
These days, the rumors of the Tang Dynasty homeless people writing to Princess Broken Leaf flew into Zhang Qiu's ears, and he thought that he would be invincible to the result of the pillow wind, so he simply accepted the punishment.
"Faults are punished. It's just that I don't see any fault with you. Li Huaitang's attitude of maintenance is highlighted.
Zhang Qiu was stunned, and before he could react, he heard Li Huaitang's question again: "Tell me, what you thought at that time." ”
"I have to admit that if the two Turkic horses were given to let them go, they would definitely not be able to escape, and the hostages might survive. However, this case must not be opened, otherwise tens of thousands of slaves will rise up and imitate it, and it will be impossible to prevent it, so it is absolutely impossible to give in to them, and it must be dealt with by thunderous means to deter all slaves. It is a pity that a hostage died, but it was exchanged for the safety of more people in the future. Zhang Qiu did not hide his inner attitude, he believed that others may not understand, but the general will definitely understand.
"Be decisive and dare to act, dare to act! The true 'color' of the husband! Li Huaitang high-fived Zhang Qiu's ability and courage.
Suddenly praised by the general, Zhang Qiu was overjoyed, however, the happy events have always been in pairs, like a ** sea 'wave' smashing towards him, making him feel like he was being attacked by happiness and caught off guard.
"Interested in riding the general? The treatment remains the same, and the position will be aggrieved. ”
"Yes, yes, it's okay, I can come right away!" Zhang Qiu reacted and made a decision as soon as possible, for fear that the opportunity to look at the 'desire' to wear it would grow wings and fly away. The general rode on the general's personal soldiers, and there were many opportunities to be rewarded for meritorious service, as long as he could get in, he would not hesitate to give up the position of a hundred horsemen in the tiger and wolf cavalry, even if he was a small soldier from scratch!
Li Huaitang valued Zhang Qiu's courage and loyalty, and transferred him to the general cavalry with the intention of focusing on cultivating him, honing and honing him, and then releasing him back to the tiger wolf cavalry to serve as the general of the thousand cavalry.
At the time of killing the rebel 'chaos' captives, the reputation of the demon incarnation was probably unexpected, and more than a dozen immigrants exiled from the Tang Dynasty played a role in fueling the spread of his notoriety.
The curiosity about Zhang Qiu is not only the craftsmen and workers in the printing workshop, but even Pei Xiaoniang and others have joined the ranks of peeking onlookers.
The onlookers were really not small, and everyone did not forget to point their fingers and express their opinions, which attracted Li Huaitang's attention. Li Huaitang saw Pei Xiaoniang hiding behind the 'door', smiled angrily, and beckoned the little beauty to come over.
How to deal with Zhang Qiu has to give Pei Xiaoniang, who is a princess, a 'handover' generation, and also give those new immigrants an explanation, after all, the people's hearts cannot be bullied.
"The concubine doesn't understand the truth, as long as it is Li Lang's will, the concubine will support it unconditionally." Pei Xiaoniang's performance is graceful and generous, reasonable, and her words and demeanors reveal the softness of her heart everywhere.
The move to transfer Zhang Qiu away from the Tiger and Wolf Rider seemed to outsiders to have a false impression, that is, Zhang Qiu was punished by demotion. And the soldiers inside Ning Yuan's iron cavalry knew very well in their hearts that from the tiger and wolf riding to the general's cavalry, it was undoubtedly a bright descent and a secret ascension, obviously, the general agreed with Zhang Qiu's behavior.
Zhang Qiu bowed to Pei Xiaoniang with a sense of 'excitement' and said, "Zhang Qiu thanked Mrs. Zhang!" ”
Pei Xiaoniang smiled and said, "What's the use of thanking me, it's your general who should be thanked." ”
Li Huaitang pretended to cough a few times and then changed the topic: "Zhang Qiu, you have been demoted, if you have any requirements, what compensation you need, just mention it." ”
Of course, Zhang Qiu understood that this was the general's polite words, and there was no demotion at all, if this was a demotion, I am afraid that the soldiers of the tiger and wolf rode would rush to it. That doesn't mean he doesn't have more ideas, though.
"Well, the military salary has been received, and Neiko is so happy that she can't keep her mouth shut, just the monthly salary and silver our family can't use it up, and yesterday the Ministry of Civil Affairs went to the 'door' to check, it is said that the fields will be divided according to households, plus my military merits, my family can get a lot of fields, in short, life is worry-free. Still, I thought, thought,"
"Whatever you want to say directly, you don't have to be a 'daughter' to spit out." Li Huaitang took over Zhang Qiu's words, and couldn't guess what he was thinking.
"I want to study!" Zhang Qiu blushed and held back the thoughts in his heart.
"Read, read?" Li Huaitang didn't believe his ears very much, and glanced at Pei Xiaoniang, who was also puzzled.
Zhang Qiu's thoughts were obviously unexpected, most of the soldiers of Ningyuan Iron Cavalry were illiterate, and Zhang Qiu only roughly recognized a few words, with the great development of Ningyuan City, Zhang Qiu felt the pain of less literacy, the new proclamation could not be understood, the paper orders looked 'confused', the daily knowledge and experience could not be recorded, and the lack of culture became an obstacle to his ability to go further, but from it, he also saw the opportunity, under the same conditions, improving the cultural level would help him to be promoted in the army.
It's a pity that he wanted to learn, proposed and even conveyed to the ears of the main general Wei Anguo, but he never invited Mr. Since ancient times, scribes looked down on martial artists, even down-and-out scholars from the Tang Dynasty, they would rather starve than go to the military camp as a teacher, according to them, accepting martial artists as apprentices is equivalent to surrendering their status.
It is naturally a good thing that the soldiers are willing to learn culture, and Li Huaitang certainly supports it. In the blink of an eye, he had a solution.
"It's not uncommon for them not to come, Lu Shangqing, isn't Wang Zhongsi a good candidate, let them teach you, there are not enough people and the entire military department!" Li Huaitang said what he thought, turned to Pei Xiaoniang beside him, and said, "Bother the lady to make up a study material, which is suitable for the soldiers." ”
"Huh?! Concubine body weaving? Pei Xiaoniang was taken aback, Li Huaitang meant to let her publish a book, which was a dream that was once unattainable in her mind.
"Madame is versatile, and compiling a textbook is just a piece of cake."
"Well, try it as a concubine." Pei Xiaoniang responded to Li Huaitang's gaze with affection, she could help Ailang, she was willing, and at the same time, this was also an opportunity to show her ability.
"Good. After compiling it, it will be printed in large quantities, and I will pay for it! Li Huaitang was in high spirits. Promote the culture of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the breakthrough is in tens of thousands of Ningyuan iron horses, this is a move to kill two birds with one stone, the improvement of the knowledge of the soldiers, for the overall combat effectiveness of the Ningyuan iron cavalry has a considerable role in promoting, moreover, the process of popularizing the literacy rate itself is the process of sinicization. With the extension of the pace of Ningyuan's iron cavalry, the Han civilization will spread to every corner of the iron hoof.
