Chapter 135: Harvest Abundantly

Luo Tong gathered the soldiers outside the city, announced the harvest of the trip in front of the soldiers of Sanzhou, and passed it on, all the soldiers participating in the exhibition will receive seven sheep, a cow, and a horse as a reward, and the money and military salary are calculated separately, and the most outstanding thousands of border troops will also get a gorgeous set of armor!

As soon as the order for this reward was delivered, the soldiers who went out this time burst into uncontrollable shouts.

Seven sheep, a horse, and a cow were really a great reward, and all the soldiers were red with excitement, and some even wept with joy.

Immediately after that, the gorgeous military uniforms were distributed, and the clothing, food, shelter, and transportation were even in front of the food, which shows how the ancients attached importance to their own clothing. Looking at the gorgeous and handsome military uniforms that came down, the soldiers were so happy that they didn't even dare to pick it up with their dirty hands, and only after wiping and wiping it on their bodies did they dare to take it.

Luo Tong asked all the soldiers to wash in the moat. Changed into a brand new military uniform.

Wearing handsome and gorgeous clothes on the body, the atmosphere immediately feels different. This man is clothed, and his horse is saddled. What is said is true. Just like a military parade, the soldiers put on this brand new armor, and their spirit was particularly magnificent.

"Let's go, let's return to the camp in triumph!" Luo Tong waved his hand, and 3,000 soldiers with outstanding performance walked into the barracks under the leadership of Luo Tong.

Luo Tong at the front was dressed in gorgeous Mingguang armor, which looked majestic under the sun's rays, and behind him were six generals, including Yaochi, Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chuliang, Li Yesi, Almaty, and Fang Yiai. They are all wearing light armor, although this light armor is not as gorgeous as Mingguang armor, but it is the most popular general armor in the Tang Dynasty. The light armor is also unusually dazzling and gorgeous. Behind the six generals was a special combat team dressed in the iron armor of the captain.

As a pro-guard, the spears, horizontal swords, riding bows, crossbows, and captain-level mountain armor that Luo Tong had already prepared for them also came in handy. After the special combat team was the Modao Army, two soldiers and horses in one place, that strong momentum. Visible at a glance.

Then there were 3,000 new armor outstanding border troops, and finally the border army that was slightly inferior to this trip.

The soldiers around him looked envious, Luo Tong, Yao Chi, Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chuliang, Li Yesi, Almaty, and Fang Yiai They didn't dare to think about it, but they were also soldiers, and they still fantasized about entering the pro-guard team and receiving the best benefits. But soon they let out a burst of exclamations, and behind the Modao Army was a soldier wearing a soldier's leather armor, but decorated with an unusually ornate decoration...... When did the soldiers get treated like this?

They looked at the leather armor on their bodies, and after looking at the new soldier's armor on the opposite side with the leather armor and soap juan armor combined into one, they consciously felt uncomfortable, with a little jealousy, and some of them had already faintly regretted it. At the beginning, Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chuliang, and Li Yesi respectively posted notices in the barracks to recruit elites, and the treatment of elites remained unchanged, but the intensity of training was twice that of daily practice. The border army, accustomed to perfunctory, saw that it was unprofitable, and had to spend blood and sweat to train, and most of them retreated. Only a few ambitious and ambitious people who want to improve their strength choose to sign up.

Looking at the sweaty soldiers, those border soldiers who were resting in the shade, responded with a mocking attitude, until today, seeing those soldiers who paid twice as much, the shotguns changed for guns, and became so glamorous, they suddenly realized that the other party's contribution was valuable, and they who chose to retreat could only envy and envy on the side.

At this moment, they do not yet know what kind of reward the object of their envy has received.

Under the propaganda of well-intentioned people, the results of this battle and the rewards of the soldiers this time spread among the army in a short period of time......

Seven sheep, a horse, a cow, and a suit of bright armor, not counting the silver reward. If the original idea was just envy and a little jealousy, then they would not be calm when they heard the news......

But what if you don't calm down?

The choice is in their hands, everyone is equal in front of the opportunity, and the coward chooses to retreat, chooses to go with the flow, does not seek progress, and naturally gets nothing. Brave people are not afraid of the hardships of training, and are willing to unconditionally accept twice the training to improve their strength, and their efforts have a certain reward. I don't even want to accept the hardships of basic training, and I can suffer the sins of the battlefield there.

Driven by profits, most of the soldiers regretted it, and they could only look at the soldiers who had been rewarded with envy, those soldiers who were handsome and different from them......

There is no regret medicine in this world.

And that's the first step!

Soon, Qing, Sui, and Yan all learned that Luo Tong had made great achievements in the grassland, and with 13,000 people, he broke through 17 Turkic tribes, killed and wounded hundreds of thousands of enemies, rescued more than 10,000 people trapped in the Central Plains in the Turks, and obtained more than 320,000 horses, more than 510,000 sheep, and more than 90,000 cattle...... The accompanying warriors were awarded special armor and received special rewards.

As a border city, Qing, Sui, and Yan prefectures were not less disturbed by the Turks, but the weakness of the border soldiers made them not have a good impression of the border soldiers, but they repaid great enthusiasm for the 12th Army in Guanzhong, and every time the 12th Army in Guanzhong rushed to the front line from Guanzhong to repel the enemy, they would be warmly greeted by them.

Now they suddenly found that there were also warriors among the border soldiers, and the soldiers wearing new handsome clothes and armor were the brave soldiers who went deep into the Turks and broke the Turks. Under the propaganda of public opinion, all the special combat teams wearing mountain armor, the heavily armored Mo sword army, the soldiers wearing new clothes and armor, and the soldiers wearing Miao swords have all become local heroes and have been treated like heroes.

In life, the grass and trees are autumn, and what you need is nothing more than fame and fortune.

The pursuit of fame and fortune is the goal of most people's lives, and how many people can really be indifferent to fame and fortune?

The soldiers who followed Luo Tong to the north to raid gained fame and fortune in a short instant, how can this not make others envious.

In the past, the people in the north were treated indiscriminately, but all the border troops were treated as nothing, and over time, the face of the border army was like a city wall, and they were indifferent. Nowadays, the people in the north know that there are also brave men among the border soldiers, and the border soldiers wearing ordinary clothes and armor are two different concepts.

Everyone knows that the former is a waste of waste materials waiting for death, while the latter is a warrior who dares to go deep into the Turkic hinterland to break the Turks. Walking on the streets, the former is spurned, the latter is praised; Back at home, the former's family shrunk their heads and was depressed, while the latter showed off with joy, especially those with children. The child's first role model is his own father, looking at the same soldier, other people's fathers are praised by thousands of people but their own father is the object of contempt, the lost heart is naturally self-evident.

People are ashamed, shameful and courageous.

At this point, no one is laughing at the soldiers who are willing to unconditionally accept twice the training, in the daily training. After the required training was over, many of the soldiers continued to join the excess training spontaneously, training with the original ones.

Especially when Luo Tong released that he would go hunting in the Turks at a certain time, he would bring more soldiers at that time, and he would bring brave men, with his own strength as the top, and only with strong people with a certain strength.

Those soldiers who had already tasted the sweetness were naturally unwilling to be brushed down, and they trained even harder. Those soldiers who missed an opportunity were also full of strength when they saw that they were expected to wash away the shame on their bodies and had the opportunity to receive the same treatment and benefits. For daily training, the border army is no longer perfunctory, but will spontaneously accept daily excess training, and privately do not stop practicing to make up for their own strength, and strive to achieve good results in the competition after half a year, and get a place in the next "hunting".

It is difficult to say the border soldiers of Qing, Sui, and Yan Prefectures, and the fighting spirit and courage that are crucial factors in fighting the war, but at least they have begun to change in a good direction.

Especially in terms of self-consciousness, the border soldiers of Sanzhou have gradually gained the consciousness of soldiers, no longer being as lazy as before, they can endure hardships, they can bear hard work, and they have a good start.

**********

In terms of loot, Luo Tong was very troubled

It's just too much.

Luo Tong had no choice but to divide a small part of the strategic materials obtained to the soldiers on this expedition as he did last time, among which all the food such as meat and barley was distributed to them, and the cattle, sheep and horses were left behind. It's still the old rule, the cattle and sheep are reported to the court, and he doesn't have the manpower to take care of the cattle and sheep. As for the war horses, after some pondering and discussion, Luo Tong not only handed over all the mares for production this time, but also invited an additional 120,000 military horses to the imperial court.

It's not that Luo Tong is generous, it's really a little forced.

It turned out that there were more people and less meat, and staring at a piece of meat was the same as staring at a peerless beauty, because Li Shimin allocated him 10,000 war horses, and it also detonated the incident of major generals and local governors jointly writing a book.

But now Luo Tong finds that there are many people and it is not comfortable.

There are 60,000 border soldiers under Luo Tong's jurisdiction, plus 10,000 Modao troops, a total of 70,000 people, but Li Shimin allocated 15,000 war horses to him respectively, if you count the current 180,000 war horses, the number of military horses in his hands will be 200,000.

70,000 soldiers have 200,000 war horses, which is too luxurious in this Central Plains where there is a lack of war horses. And 200,000 horses have to eat a day's feed, and it is difficult for Luo Tong to afford. Mo said that it is a conditioned concentrate feed, even the most basic and ordinary horse grass adds up to an astronomical amount.

Now the situation in front of Luo Tong is that there is too much meat to hold on. Just be generous. Allocate 120,000 to the imperial court. 70,000 soldiers and 80,000 horses are enough!

Datang is still short of horses, and it has not yet developed to the point of being terrible in the future, and these 120,000 horses are still in great demand.

Especially in terms of Li Daozong, Li Shiji, Zhang Gongjin, and Wei Xiaojie, they also need enough support from soldiers and horses.
