Chapter 715: Folding Zhao Point Soldiers (II)
Seeing such an exciting scene, Cui Wenqing couldn't stop his blood boiling.
Before joining the army, these soldiers in the audience may be peasant children or market men, they are all very ordinary and ordinary, and they are inconspicuous in the crowd.
However, after they joined the Zhenwu Army, put on armor made of soft cowhide, and took on shining swords and guns, after a short but arduous training, the whole person naturally became unusual.
Cui Wenqing knew that they would have an additional label of "soldiers" on their bodies from now on.
In all dynasties, soldiers have been an outstanding profession in fighting on the battlefield and defending the country.
Especially in the history of the Central Plains civilization to resist foreign invasions, it was these ordinary and extraordinary soldiers who swore to defend the integrity of the Chinese territory with their lives and blood.
Perhaps, just like in the national anthem of later generations, it was they who built a new Great Wall with flesh and blood!
An inch of mountains and rivers, an inch of blood, 100,000 young people and 100,000 troops.
There are countless wealthy men in the land of China, although Cui Wenqing is a civil servant, and he is in the Great Qi that values literature and light on martial arts, he can't help but feel heartfelt respect for these soldiers.
By the way, and her......
Cui Wenqing's gaze fell on Zhi Zhao, who was standing slightly in front of him.
Looking at the seemingly weak body of his daughter, Cui Wenqing knew that it was not just Zhezhao standing here alone today.
She also represents the countless sacrificed children of the Fuzhou Zhe clan, as well as the iron fighting spirit of the Zhenwu Army to defend the northern Xinjiang to the death, standing here, and there is an amazing will and strength hidden in that delicate body.
Thinking that the stability of northern Xinjiang depends on the first army, and the success or failure of the first army depends on the commander Zhizhao alone, Cui Wenqing sincerely feels deep admiration for this woman who is not yet nineteen years old.
is really the most outstanding peerless handsome woman from ancient times to the present, and she is a beautiful face.
Being able to have such a woman as his wife, Cui Wenqing felt very comfortable and satisfied.
Since God has deeply bound him and Zhe Zhao's fate, then he will definitely go all out to support Zhe Zhao and accompany her to conquer the world until the end of the world......
When Cui Wenqing's heart was surging, Bai Yifei had already pressed his hand, signaled the audience to be quiet, turned his head to Cui Wenqing and smiled: "Uncle, after the Metropolitan Governor finishes, why don't you also say a few words to the soldiers of the New Army?" ”
"What? I? Cui Wenqing was stunned for a moment, and then shook his hand again and again, "No, no, this is in the army, how can I be so destructive?" ”
Bai Yifei said with a smile: "Uncle doesn't know, many of these new army soldiers are people resettled in other places, it is because they are grateful to their uncle for your tax exemption policy, so they enthusiastically joined the army, in their hearts, uncle, you are tantamount to their great benefactor, and the last general feels that Uncle You said something to encourage the soldiers of the new army, it is really the right place." ”
Zhi Zhaoyan smiled and said: "General Bai is right, husband, please say a few words." ”
Hearing Zhe Zhao say this, Cui Wenqing naturally couldn't refuse, nodded and took a few steps forward to stand on the edge of the high platform, looking at the young but resolute faces under the stage, the Adam's apple moved, and the voice was already clear and resounding: "Brothers of the new army, this official is Cui Wenqing, the pacification envoy of the school and the ......."
As soon as the words arrived, the new military array suddenly boiled like boiling water.
"Lord Cui, it's Lord Cui!"
"It was he, it was he who ordered my family to be exempted from taxes."
"Master Cui, the little one is Meng Ping, a citizen of Baode County, Yuzhou Prefecture, thank you for your tax-free grace......"
"Master Cui, tell us about it."
……
Unexpectedly, as soon as he reported his name, it caused such a big sensation, and Cui Wenqing was really a little surprised.
But he also understood the reason for their excitement in the buzz of the soldiers of the New Army.
That is, the tax exemption policy benefits the people who have been resettled in other places, and almost all of them are the soldiers of the new army from the people who have been resettled, and they are naturally very grateful for everything he has done.
Thinking of this, Cui Wenqing smiled faintly, raised his hand and signaled the officers and soldiers of the new army to calm down, and then said unhurriedly: "Brothers of the new army, this official was ordered by the Son of Heaven to pacify Suizhou, and promulgated the policy of tax exemption for the people resettled in other places according to the place and time, and the honor guard is completely supported by the imperial court. After speaking, he bowed deeply.
Hearing this, Zhi Zhao smiled knowingly, and secretly thought that the husband still knew how to judge the situation, and left the credit to the court and the officials, instead of being arrogant.
Cui Wenqing said that, many officers and men of the new army had heard of the promulgation and implementation of the law of tax exemption to appease the adults, but they had spent a lot of effort and borne a lot of pressure from all sides.
And the purpose of saying this is only the practice of officialdom, and the leadership must be thanked first.
The officers and men of the new army did not think through it, and they still thanked Cui Wenqing constantly.
Finally suppressed the buzzing and coaxing sound, Cui Wenqing smiled and said: "Actually, the words of the Governor of Zhe Dadu just now are very good, and this official also agrees very much, indeed, since the formation of the army for more than 300 years, the Zhenwu Army is not only a mighty army, a glorious army, but also an army that has always been full of dangers. ”
"However, I still hope that all the officers and soldiers of the new army can pay more attention to their own safety on the battlefield, and within the scope of the general's order, learn to protect their lives, and also preserve the strength of the Zhenwu Army.
After saying these simple words, Cui Wenqing bowed his hand and stepped aside, but the soldiers of the new army were cheering again and again, and the cheers were thunderous and enduring.
After the lecture was over, the next step was to review the new army.
A horse team composed of 500 cavalry of the New Army clashed on the military academy ground, shouting back and forth, stirring up countless smoke and dust.
Two phalanxes composed of 1,000 new army infantry fought against each other, spears like forests, swords and shields like walls, just like a torrent of steel crushing everything.
The bow and arrow array composed of 500 crossbowmen of the new army was divided into three teams to draw bows and shoot arrows, although it could not reach the point of no arrows, but it could be regarded as arrows like flying locusts, and the momentum was amazing.
Many kinds of things really opened the eyes of Cui Wenqing, who has rarely seen military exercises, and was shocked.
After the military exercise, Zhi Zhao met with the generals of the new army and above at the big tent of the former army commander as usual, and made some efforts to them.
When everything was busy, it was already dusk, Bai Yifei brought a sumptuous war meal, and talked with Zhi Zhao and Cui Wenqing while eating.
