Chapter 324: Here Comes the Wolf
When Tuli sent his father-in-law to seize the Shuobei grassland, Qin Feng had just returned to Gyeongju and gathered the generals before he had time to rest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Waiting for everyone to gather, Qin Feng read out Li Shimin's reward to everyone. All of them are full of joy and energy.
"Boss, what about you? What position did you get promoted? Cheng Chu asked silently, and everyone's eyes instantly focused on their leading brother. Because they also knew that Qin Feng had already become a general at a young age, and there was not much room for further promotion, either to reward some coins or to rise in the title. Seeing that Qin Feng only didn't mention himself, he was also curious.
"Me? It hasn't changed, it's still the same. Qin Feng didn't hide it either.
"Won't it?" Fang Yiai screamed for Qin Feng, and the rest of the people also showed puzzled expressions, Li Shimin is wise and martial, and he is not stingy to reward those who have made meritorious contributions to the Tang Dynasty, Qin Feng has made such a great meritorious service, if he does not reward or seal it, it is really unreasonable.
Qin Feng said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if I am rewarded or not, in fact, what I care about most is the general of the Tiger Ben Army, this title falls into our hands, and I don't care about the rest." ”
Ma Zhou's eyes flashed and said: "The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." The general is young and shallow, and he is suddenly mentioned to a high place, and he can't withstand the wind and rain, and His Majesty's refusal to seal or reward is already the greatest reward. ”
Everyone understands people, and after Ma Zhou said, they also understand the power.
"Your Majesty has clear rewards and punishments, and will not treat us badly. Although the name has not changed, the actual reward for me is not less at all, this time, the establishment of our Tiger Army has been expanded to 18,000 people. ”
"Great!"
"I'll just say it!"
"The boss is Your Majesty's son-in-law, how can Your Majesty lose the boss."
……
One by one, two were overjoyed and shouted.
"There has always been a saying among the people that wealth is not exposed, because if it is exposed, some people will be red-eyed, jealous, and there will be thieves. In order to prevent thieves, rich people pretend to be poorer than ordinary people. This kind of practice is the same in the officialdom, and besides, the fake name thing is not worth much, so let's make a fortune in silence. Everyone laughed heartily again, Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang did not laugh, but there was a look of agreement in their eyes.
"Smile and laugh, but the combat effectiveness of the army must be guaranteed, and our principles cannot be changed."
Su Dingfang said confidently: "Although the general can rest assured, this batch of soldiers has very strong physical fitness, as long as we are given half a year, we will definitely be able to build an iron army on a par with the Tiger Army." ”
"Half a year is too long, and we only have three months at most. Either they will raise the combat power of the army, or they will miss this big battle that will go down in history. Therefore, we only have more than two months of time, and I hope that everyone will work harder and train them into the mobile steel Great Wall of my Datang in the shortest possible time, retreating can be defended, and advancing can destroy all obstacles in front of us. The border army is proficient in horsemanship, strong physical fitness, what is lacking is military discipline and willpower, and the tacit understanding of the team, the previous training method has been proved by the results, and it also shows that the training method is right, and you are also a veteran in the new training method, and you know the training well, I don't care how you build it, I just want the result. If you depend on me for everything, what use do I want from you? At the same time, it is not conducive to your progress. I've already stacked it here, and you can do it yourself. Three months, is there any problem? ”
Qin Feng looked at the crowd and asked with a smile.
The pressure on everyone's shoulders increased, but everyone looked at each other, got up and promised: "I will live up to the trust of the general." ”
"Good! I'm sure you're doing better than I do. Okay, you can arrange it yourself. Meeting. ”
"Whoa!" More than a dozen lords responded in unison.
"General, the Holy Decree has arrived." Just as everyone was about to leave, Li Mu hurriedly came to report.
Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what Li Shimin was doing, so he led the crowd to accept the order.
When the guards read out their will, Qin Feng and the others were stunned.
This holy decree is not so much a holy decree, but rather a review and reward of Qin Feng during this time, starting from his capture of Shuofang and recovering the lost territory, talking about his elimination of Wumeng, the capture of Ashina Sheer and the loss of thought, and then specially appointed him as the governor of Shuofang, Suizhou and Xiazhou were included in Shuofang's rule, and the governor's mansion was located in Shuofang City, and the border army of the Gyeongju Governor's Mansion was transferred to Shuofang to standby. If the family is willing to follow. A sheep will be rewarded, and all taxes will be reduced for the first year. In the second year, only 50% of the tax is collected, and in the third year, 80% of the tax is collected. In the first year, the imperial court rented ploughing cattle free of charge, reflecting Li Shimin's posture of supporting Shuofang and supporting Qin Feng. Moreover, the holy decree also said that Li Jing would withdraw to the second line and change positions with Qin Feng.
"General, still don't accept the order?" The guards looked at the group of stunned youths and wanted to laugh.
Qin Feng came to his senses, and said with both hands: "The last general will obey the order." ”
"General, here is a letter from Your Majesty." At this moment, the guard took out another letter from his bosom.
Qin Feng looked at it at a glance and knew that this was Li Jing's idea. With a wry smile: "It turns out that our Lord Li Shangshu wants to be lazy." ”
Seeing that the guards were also dusty, they obviously walked on their own front feet, so they followed. It's just that he has a heavenly punishment to travel, and he comes quickly. Let Li Mu take them to rest.
Then he said to everyone: "Your Majesty's will has also been heard, now you go back with me at once, pack up your salutes, and set out with the whole army tomorrow morning." ”
"Whoa!"
Qin Feng has not changed anything except that his name has changed from the governor of Gyeongju to the governor of Shuofang, and the jurisdiction has changed from Gyeongju, Suizhou, and Yanzhou to Xiazhou, Suizhou, and Shuofang. It's just that Shuofang contains the original vast territory of Liang Shidu and the Shuobei grassland, and the territory under its jurisdiction is more than twice as large.
Qin Feng was very happy in his heart, and admired Li Shimin's good use of people ten times more, perhaps because he calculated that Qin Feng was unwilling to settle down, so as soon as Li Jing's letter arrived, Li Shimin did as he believed, Qin Feng became the governor of Shuofang, and it was much easier to enter and exit the grassland in the future. The time to go back and forth also saves about a week, thinking of the beauty and beauty, Qin Feng almost fainted.
Liu Renliang and Ma Zhou saw Qin Feng's silly music, and immediately looked at each other and smiled, they knew Qin Feng's personality, and knew that he was not happy because of the vast territory, but definitely because he was close to the Turks.
"General, tomorrow morning, we have to prepare." After a while, Ma Zhou reminded.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Qin Feng came to his senses and said, "Brother Liu, the military funds will be handed over to you." and that Pei Xingjian, let him come over to help. By the way, how about that Pei Xingjian? When he returned to Gyeongju, he threw Pei Xingjian to Liu Renliang, and he had to personally treat the seriously injured soldiers, and after that, he received the holy decree to return to the court, so he had no time to assess.
Liu Renliang said with emotion: "I don't know where the general picked up the talents, it's really amazing." ”
Qin Feng laughed and said, "No matter where he comes from, as long as he is powerful." He turned his head to Ma Zhou and said, "Brother Ma, Duhe, I'll hand over the official documents to you." ”
Li Shimin incorporated Suizhou into Shuofang's rule, and all kinds of information about Suizhou in the Gyeongju Governor's Office had to be brought to Shuofang.
There are also weapons, armor, and military horses that exist in Gyeongju to be taken away. As for the military family and the doctors personally trained by Qin Feng, as well as talents such as blacksmiths, they could only be transferred in the second batch, and as for the captured and rescued Han people, they were also arranged in the second batch of transfer queues.
Shuo Fang first let Liang Shi ruin the appearance, and then Xia Governor Shi Liu Min and Sima Liu Lan sent light cavalry to ravage their crops, so that most of the people fled, and now there is nothing lacking in that place, the most lacking is the population. The Turkic captives could be used for heavy and menial work, and the liberated population could fill the emptiness of the land.
Time is a little tight, now move the army and military resources to Shuofang, and wait for the rest to settle down first.
Qin Feng gave an order, and everyone got busy, especially Liu Renliang in the Governor's Mansion was even more busy, but Qin Feng himself was very idle. This is the advantage of the superior, professional and specialized, and Qin Feng is too lazy to help. He was in a hurry to come back to expand the army, relying on the horse to hurry, he came back alone, and Ma Yunluo, who led the personal guards to escort Changle, has not yet arrived.
Princess Changle is a rare good wife in the heavens and the earth, thinking about Qin Feng everywhere, knowing that her husband is working hard alone at the border, in order to fulfill her wife's responsibilities, regardless of the bitter cold on the side and the dissuasion of her parents, she is stunned to follow her husband's side.
The concept of marrying a chicken with a chicken and marrying a dog with a dog is brought into full play.
For this reason, the father and daughter also blushed.
The reason is that Li Shimin was reluctant to let his baby daughter suffer outside, and asked Changle to move back to Changle Palace to live on the grounds that the war was coming, Qin Feng was even harder, and he needed to take care of himself even more.
In the end, Li Shimin became angry, the daughter who got married was really spilled, but she should take care of her husband, but shouldn't her father and mother take care of it? This son-in-law is still half a son, this girl is outgoing, she has only been married for less than half a year, and she doesn't care about her family like this? So, the two ideas collided with each other, and a spark was struck. The father and daughter couldn't convince one of them, and in the end, it was the eldest grandson queen who came forward, and Li Shimin reluctantly agreed on the grounds that she was holding her nephew. Of course, Li Shimin was reluctant to blame his baby daughter, so he summoned Qin Feng and let out a vicious breath, Qin Feng had nowhere to vent, and in a fit of anger, he sent the fire to Changle again, and he tossed her for most of the night, as for punishment or showing affection, only they themselves understood clearly.
Zheng Liwan did not follow this time, her career is getting bigger and bigger, especially after the new tea has won countless praises in the elite circle, it has set off a storm in Chang'an, and the new tea as a tribute is now in short supply, almost to the point that it is priceless in the market, for this reason, she has to find more tea sources to make new tea to supply the market demand. Of course, under Qin Feng's suggestion, his fiefdom has opened up thousands of acres of tea plantations, but it takes at least two years to produce here, and there is demand in the market, so in the past two years, it can only be purchased in the existing tea base. With these thirty people, coupled with Zheng Liwan's own ability, it is not said that they can walk sideways in Datang, but their safety can at least be guaranteed. (To be continued.) )
