Chapter 346

Half a month will have passed since Li Wenyuan and Li Wenyuan reached an agreement through hundreds of meetings to the time when the local government faithfully implemented it, and this half a month is neither long nor short, but the various policies during this period of time have brought about tremendous changes in the Western Regions under Li Wenyuan's rule, and even the residents of Dunhuang County are no longer the leisurely and complacent appearance they usually have. Everyone was very busy, but although they were in a hurry, they did not have the panic of knowing that they might be facing a war, and everyone's face was full of confidence, which was the pride and confidence brought by the Western Regions Army's countless victories in foreign wars.

Because war is not terrible for them, especially in the rules set by Li Wenyuan for the Western Regions Army, the matter of compensation for the dead soldiers is specifically mentioned. After all, there are no immortals in a war, and it is normal for a battle to have 1,800 casualties, so it is mentioned in the pension policy that after a soldier in the army is killed, his immediate family can still receive the soldier's corresponding 20 years of military salary as a pension. At the same time, if there are elderly people or children in the family, then in addition to continuing to receive a pension for 20 years, his children's descendants will be raised by the government, and the elderly in his family will naturally have the government responsible for providing for the elderly. All in all, as long as you don't become a deserter on the battlefield, as long as you fall on the way to battle, then even if you unfortunately die in battle, your family will be carefully taken care of by the government.

None of the forces other than Li Wenyuan could afford to spend such a large amount of money on pensions as Li Wenyuan, after all, many of them were still worried about where the next month's military pay would come from, and where would they have spare money to take care of those soldiers who had sacrificed their lives at this time? Anyway, as long as you go to the people to catch strong men, how many people will be served as soldiers and eat food? Why bother to learn from Li Wenyuan to engage in some bells and whistles pension? What's more, it's 20 years of military salary, and it's not just a casual joke. Such a policy would eventually result in the loss of an empty man in the army for every soldier sacrificed. Those people are equivalent to holding iron rice bowls, and they don't have to worry about losing their jobs or being harshly criticized by the master's family. In the long run, it will definitely be a no-brainer.

Someone once proposed that the 20-year military salary for the families of those dead soldiers was too much, and where could there be immortals in war? Doesn't this add some burden to Li Wenyuan's own fragile economic chain? Therefore, some people have suggested that Li Wenyuan should not give the families of those soldiers who died in battle a military salary for 20 years, but directly give some more money as a one-time pension, and it is enough to settle it at one time. Of course, on the matter of raising children and supporting the elderly for the fallen soldiers, none of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty dared to raise objections. After all, if anyone dares to bring it up, they will be scolded and stinky the next day. In the eyes of the ancients, loyalty and filial piety were far more important than the extremes that later generations could imagine.

As for this proposal, Li Wenyuan directly vetoed it without even thinking about it. After all, these people, as soldiers, have already given their most precious lives for Dasui, and at the same time, they have fulfilled their responsibilities as soldiers. Then the only thing that the country can repay these fallen soldiers is to solve their worries and let them leave with peace of mind. I have to say that Li Wenyuan's welfare policy is very clever, and it has played a role in buying a thousand dollars, so that every surviving soldier can fight more bravely, and at the same time, it will also arouse the will to fight of those young soldiers who are full of enthusiasm and enlist in the army.

If it is said that the officers trained by the previous military academy have allowed Li Wenyuan to grasp the various command nodes in the army, then the pensions of some of the war dead that have appeared with the progress of several wars, as well as the real treatment received by his family, have made Li Wenyuan firmly grasp the hearts of these grassroots soldiers who are responsible for charging into battle. Soldiers fight in order to eat food. This has been the case since ancient times, except for those who have big ambitions and are willing to fight for some special goal all their lives. The reason why most soldiers come to serve as soldiers is to eat and drink, if they can eat and drink every day, who wants to come and die?

However, Li Wenyuan's policy has relieved these soldiers of the biggest worries in their hearts, even if they are not concerned about the death of the horse leather shroud on the battlefield, except for some regrets that they cannot be by their family's side, they no longer have to worry about their family's life problems. Therefore, these soldiers are extremely brave in battle, and the fighting spirit they burst out is not available in other armies, and this kind of morale also allows the commanders under Li Wenyuan to often make some classic combat examples that can only appear in textbooks. Magical battles such as winning more with less, and defeating the strong with the weak are even more common in the Western Regions Army composed of soldiers equipped with muskets and strong fighting will. It can be said that with the sharpness of firearms, the Western Regions Army has long been accustomed to the battle situation of fighting more with less. It is also because of this experience and experience that the Western Regions Army will not be too flustered even if it is surrounded by the enemy army in a short period of time, and can still maintain the integrity and stability of the formation, while constantly resisting and consuming the army that surrounds them, while waiting for their own reinforcements to come to break through the encirclement and pick them up.

This was followed by a long month of adjustment. Over the course of a month, the adjustment of the extraction of iron ore from the civilian component for military use has been preliminarily completed. The civilian sector has also made preparations for the war in all aspects, and the army has been continuously assembling in the southeast direction, and has set up camp near the border line adjacent to Xue Ju, and is busy with daily drills and exercises.

In the early autumn of this year, Xue Ju had just finished preparing his army, and he didn't care about waiting for the people in his territory to carry out the autumn harvest, so he hurriedly publicized the certificate sent by Li Wenyuan. Because in Xue Ju's view, Li Wenyuan was also preparing for war while preparing for war on his side, and the army under his command was inferior to Li Wenyuan in terms of weapons in any case, and the only way to feel the victory crown now was to concentrate the forces with absolute superiority and knock out a hole in the defense of Li Wenyuan's border line by fighting more and fighting less. After that, I will find a way to make some use of this breach to make some articles, constantly attract Li Wenyuan's reinforcements to come, and then eliminate them one by one.
