Chapter 277: Aftermath
"Don't rejoice too soon!" Xue Rengui said at this time: "This harvest can be met but not sought, next time we can be one or two percent today, we will be satisfied." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Qin Feng glanced at Xue Rengui approvingly, and all his subordinates talked about the fact that they really had great ability and ability, and belonged to this famous God of War and Su Dingfang in the future, and nodded and said: "The harvest this time is so huge, the key is sudden. As a nomadic steppe people, they live in the prairie where the jungle eats the strong, and mobility has always been their strength. They have robbed us since ancient times, and we, as a people who depend on agriculture for survival, are rarely able to threaten them in this regard. In the same way, they did not guard against us from plundering them, but only fenced the cattle, sheep and horses with wooden fences, and did not have any extra precautions, so that we could get such a large amount of booty at one time. Next time they will be on guard, and it will be as easy as this time, and it is unlikely that it will be as easy as this time. However, they guarded against the first day of junior high school, but they couldn't prevent fifteen. ”
Du He and Fang Yiai listened suddenly, and nodded yes successively.
"There is wine today and drunk today, tomorrow is sorrowful tomorrow, tomorrow is worried, this time I have obtained so much trophies, I should be happy...... Passed on, all the soldiers who participated this time were rewarded, among them, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army were directly rewarded with silver cakes, eighty percent more than the previous time, and three leather goods; As for the border army, they will be rewarded with six sheep, one horse, five pieces of leather armor, and 100 catties of barley. Regardless of whether the dead soldiers are from the Tiger Army or the border army, they are all paid ten times the number of the Tiger Army, and the soldiers who are seriously injured and unfit to go into battle and disabled are five times that of the Tiger Army. Especially the soldiers who died in battle, they are the heroes of my Datang, and they must be distributed in place. ”
In this battle, Qin Feng led more than 11,000 elite soldiers to go out of the pass, but when he came back, it did not decrease but increased, plus the rescued Han people, the number was close to 14,000. After careful calculation, there were 442 soldiers who were killed or seriously wounded and were not fit to fight again, of which 156 were from the Tiger Ben army, but the damage they caused to the Turks was naturally far more than this amount, and the losses were not unrich compared with the gains.
As soon as the order for the reward was delivered, the soldiers who went out this time burst out into uncontrollable shouts.
Six sheep, a horse, five pieces of leather armor, and a hundred pounds of barley were a great reward, especially horses.
The Tang Dynasty adopted the government military system, which was used to train farmers who cultivated the land in peacetime, and fought in the army during wartime. This system is very similar to the integration of soldiers and peasants in the military service system of the Zhou Dynasty, but it is more perfect.
This also means that each of these soldiers has a field in their home.
In addition to the role of riding, horses are also experts in cultivating land, and their value in agriculture is far from being replaced by sheep. In ancient times, only peasants with a certain amount of money bought cattle and horses to cultivate the land, and the ordinary poor were naturally manpower.
At this time, the people of the Tang Dynasty were still very poor, and the labor force of a cow and a horse was comparable to more than ten prime of life, and it played a pivotal role in the farming-based nation. Because of this, there are special regulations for the protection of cattle and horses in the ancient laws, prohibiting the slaughter of cattle and horses, especially for those who injure other people's cattle and horses, they must be questioned and imprisoned, which shows the importance of livestock.
This can be allocated to a colt, and the efficiency of the land will be at least doubled in the coming year, and the harvest will naturally increase significantly.
All the soldiers were red with excitement, and some even cried with joy.
Immediately afterwards, leather armor and barley were distributed, and the clothing, food, shelter, and clothing were even in front of the food, which shows how the ancients attached importance to their own clothing.
When the rewards were issued, Qin Feng also asked the generals of the three states to distribute them one by one in front of the whole army. This also made the other soldiers look envious, and a little jealous, and some people already regretted it faintly. When the chief general of the three states posted a notice in the barracks, announcing that the strongest 300 people would be selected, the welfare benefits remained the same, but the intensity of the training was twice as high as the 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 and become one of the three hundred. 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 as they got such an unnatural benefit, 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. But what about envy and jealousy?
There is no regret medicine in the world at all, the choice is in their hands, everyone is equal in front of the opportunity, some people who are obviously very strong, but they choose to retreat, choose to go with the flow, do not seek progress, naturally nothing can be obtained. 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 rewarded soldiers with envy...... When the Lord will announce that there will be a second, a third, a fourth...... At that time, the enthusiasm of the whole army was high.
Soon, the border knew that the Gyeongju Governor's Office had made great achievements in the steppe, with the number of 10,000 people, it broke the Turkic tribes of the 130,000-level level, killed and wounded nearly 100,000 enemies, and the accompanying warriors received huge rewards one by one.
As a border city, it was not less disturbed by the Turks in the past, but the weakness of the border soldiers made them have no good impression of the border soldiers, but they were very enthusiastic about the 12 guards in Guanzhong, and every time the 12 armies in Guanzhong rushed to the front line from Guanzhong to repel the enemy, they would be warmly greeted by them.
Now they suddenly discovered that there were also warriors among the border soldiers, and under the propaganda of public opinion, all the border soldiers who participated in this battle became local heroes and received hero-like treatment.
Hearing the military reports sent by the generals from all over the world, Qin Feng laughed, who hasn't lived for fame and fortune throughout the ages? Now, the opportunity to easily gain fame and fortune is in front of you, if these hard-born border soldiers are not moved, then there will be ghosts.
"General, the reward has been distributed. The soldiers killed in the border army have been sent to the families of the martyrs, and as for the share of the fallen soldiers of the Tiger Army, they have been entrusted to the general's personal guards to send them in person. ”
"Those disabled soldiers, when their injuries are healed, you arrange easy work for them to do, they are the heroes of the empire, we can't let them grow old and have nothing to rely on." Qin Feng has always attached great importance to the future of this kind of soldiers, and he doesn't want these warriors who shed blood for the country to have nothing to rely on. Arranging things for them to do is also Ma Zhou's top priority.
Ma Zhou bowed movingly when he heard this, and said: "The general is noble, and Ma Zhou admires it." ”
"Ha, don't boast about my greatness."
Ma Zhou looked at Qin Feng with an indifferent attitude, smiled faintly, and said, "There are not many disabled generals, even the army can accommodate them." ”
"Hmm!"
Qin Feng thought for a while and said: "The war will not stop every day, and the disabled soldiers will not stop every day, you and Renliang will draw up a statement, and you can arrange the disabled soldiers according to this in the future." By the way, we need a large number of horse breeders, and in the future, we will give priority to our retired soldiers, in addition, we can also set up a pasture to run them, and follow the Turks to graze and milk goats, you must know that goat's milk is a good thing. Long-term consumption can strengthen people's physique, and if our pasture produces a lot of milk, we can use the market price to collect it for soldiers to drink, so as to improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers. ”
Goat milk is the "king of milk", for women, goat milk has a high content of vitamin E, which can prevent the oxidation and decomposition of unsaturated fatty acids in cells in the body, delay skin aging, and increase skin elasticity and luster. Moreover, the epithelial cell growth factor in goat's milk has a repairing effect on skin cells. For the elderly, goat milk is warm and has a good tonic effect. Epithelial cell growth factor can also help the epithelial mucosal cells of the respiratory tract and digestive tract repair and improve the body's resistance to infectious diseases. The fat globules and protein particles of goat milk are only 1/3 of that of cow's milk, and the particle size is uniform, so it is easier for the human body to digest and absorb.
Ma Zhou kept it in mind, he was no longer surprised by Qin Feng's endless brilliant ideas, whether the goat's milk was really as good as Qin Feng said, he didn't know, but he could see some clues through the appearance of the Turks and their amazing combat effectiveness, so Ma Zhou didn't doubt it.
After that, the arrangement of the rest of the booty was discussed, and in the end, all the food such as meat and barley was left in the Gyeongju Governor's Palace, half of the silver cake and half of the gold, and the cattle, sheep, horses, and treasures were reported to the imperial court. As for the war horses, after some pondering and discussion, Qin Feng left 15,000 carefully selected high-grade war horses this time, in fact, all of them were given to the imperial court.
Let Li Shimin distribute it himself.
It's not that Qin Feng is generous, it's really a little unavoidable.
It turns out that there are more people and less meat, and staring at a piece of meat is the same as staring at a peerless beauty. For one hundred and eighty horses. The two generals with extremely high status will even quarrel and move. But now Qin Feng found that there were many people and it was not comfortable. Because he couldn't find so many people to manage so many animals.
Moreover, Datang is still short of horses, and the 50,000 horses sent out by Qin Feng are in the hands of Li Shimin, and they will definitely be able to play a multiplied use.
Especially in terms of Li Jing and Li Shiji, they also need enough support from soldiers and horses. As the main force against the Turks in the future, how can it be done without sufficient cavalry? With Li Shimin's wisdom and martial arts, he would naturally give priority to the two of them, but he knew the approximate final belonging of these war horses, but Qin Feng would not be stupid enough to do this thankless task by himself.
