Chapter 107: Enlightenment
After a long journey, the overwhelming army returned to Chang'an, due to the need to escort a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, the journey was delayed a lot, and it took nearly half a month to arrive in Chang'an, the capital division. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The new army did not participate in the celebration ceremony, and when they were about to arrive in Chang'an, they divided their troops with Chai Shao's army and went straight back to the Zhongnan camp. The new army carried out an action that did not see the light of day, and naturally could not participate in that glory in an open and honest manner.
Looking at the new army of Chai Shao's army with envious expressions, Qin Feng felt a deep sense of guilt.
Oh, yes!
It is also loyal to the country, and it has also achieved good results, but the treatment is diametrically opposite, and this gap has to be said to be an injustice to the new army with a glorious lintel and a proud mentality.
"Brothers!" In the Zhongnan camp, Qin Feng summoned the warriors who went out and the soldiers who were training, and said: "I know that there is a big gap in everyone's hearts, and they feel that they are working so hard, but what they return is a quiet ending, and many people are unwilling. I understand! But what is the purpose of our military service? Is it fame and fortune? Be! But fame and fortune are only a small part of it, and our ultimate goal is to defend our country and take revenge. In this trip, our goal has been achieved, because we have achieved the goal of military training. ”
"What did I say when I left Chang'an? Can anyone answer me? ”
"Training! Build a unique army! ”
There was a deafening sound in the crowd, and when the soldiers shouted these words, they asked themselves in their hearts: Yes! We are going to train troops, not to go on expeditions.
Some soldiers who had come to their senses and wanted to go wrong laughed. When everyone remembered the goals set before the expedition, the slight mustard suddenly dissipated a lot.
"Any one of you is older than me, you are all heroes who followed the emperor to fight in the south and the north, you know better than me what the emperor is like, as a generation of Ming monarchs, the emperor is wise and martial, and the rewards and punishments are clear. Akari can't give us anything, but the reward is definitely indispensable. Hehe, if the emperor doesn't agree, I will learn to bite General Jin like I did, and run to the queen every day to cry, so that he will not be at peace every day. ”
"Haha......"
"Hey......
"Hehe......"
The last sentence made everyone laugh, and suddenly, the camp was full of laughter.
Su Lie and Zhang Shigui, who joined the new army not long ago, couldn't help laughing.
"So, let's make a fortune!"
As soon as the words came out, everyone burst into laughter again.
After laughing, everyone suddenly woke up, how could they let others suffer if they were their own generals?
Think about Qin Feng's style of doing what he says and doing what he does.
No one suspected that he was joking.
"We've caught a lot on this trip! It took us three days to work together to select 7,000 of the best horses, and these 7,000 horses are ours. In the future, our new army will be a one-man horseman. I also hope that you will be invincible cavalrymen who are proficient in cavalry and archery; Dismount is the strongest infantry, in short, we don't want to be stronger, just the strongest. ”
"Don't be stronger, just be the strongest!" Under Qin Feng's bewitchment, everyone was silent for a while, and burst into earth-shattering cheers!
Su Lie and Zhang Shigui glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of eagerness in each other's eyes, cavalry is the king of soldiers, when the new army combines cavalry and infantry into one, I really don't know what kind of chemical reaction will be produced.
There is not a single general who does not like cavalry, and there is not a general who does not like the strongest soldiers; When they arrived at the Zhongnan camp, when they saw the combat effectiveness of the 500 people left behind, they felt that this was the starting point of life.
Now it seems that they really came to the right place; For Qin Feng, who selected them, he was deeply grateful and grateful.
"Our new army is a whole, and no one can do without it. In the same way, because we are one, we should share blessings and hardships. On this trip, we seized a large number of cattle and sheep, and when I was in Shuozhou, when I asked General Chai to report to the imperial court, I underreported 5,000 cattle and 8,000 sheep! I entrusted General Chai to help me sell it for money, and when the money was in place, all of it would be given to everyone, and everyone would have a share. Ten portions for the brothers who died, five portions for the brothers who went out on the march, and one portion for each of the brothers who stayed behind. Do you have any comments? ”
"Nope!"
This time, it's louder. Possessions are tangible things that no one doesn't like. Hearing Qin Feng's private behavior, they all had a feeling that they were dead for their confidants.
Seeing that they were all grateful, Qin Feng smiled, and finally eliminated the dissatisfaction in everyone's hearts, and a stone was finally put to the ground.
Qin Feng did this, but as early as when he made this decision, he had already sent a flying horse to inform Li Shimin of this matter.
Since the New Army was an important factor in Turkic civil strife, in order to prevent the Turks from seeking common ground while reserving differences, and unanimously targeting the Tang Dynasty, Qin Feng suggested to Li Shimin: The exploits of the New Army are inconvenient to appear in the eyes of the public, and in order to eliminate the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the soldiers of the New Army, everyone can only be satisfied in this regard.
Although Qin Feng is guilty of cutting first and then playing, his starting point is for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, and the scattered property is an additional harvest, with Li Shimin's character, he will definitely not count these subsections. There will even be a subtle way to commend the exploits of the new army!
After untying everyone's knots, everyone worked together to open up a large cemetery in a feng shui treasure in Zhongnan Mountain, so that the martyrs could be buried in peace.
After that, the new army who gave the conscription was given a three-day long vacation!
After the soldiers dispersed, Qin Feng ceremoniously introduced Su Lie and Zhang Shigui to Luo Tong, Li Yexu, Cheng Chumo, and Wei Chi Baoqing.
After briefly inquiring about the training of the soldiers who had just joined, Qin Feng also explained the various questions of the two of them one by one, which made some of the doubts that had been in the hearts of the two famous generals for a long time suddenly cleared up, and when Qin Feng introduced the benefits of various trainings and shared the experience of this expedition, the two future famous generals were convinced by this young general who was much younger than himself.
At the same time, with the attitude of the capable and working hard, Qin Feng handed over more than 7,000 war horses to them to take care of, and he led the four brothers to shine.
Su Lie and Zhang Shigui looked at the chief general who had gone away, and while they were grateful for his trust, they also swore to repay the grace and trust of this acquaintance. The two of them worked hard for half a life, and finally had the opportunity to do things, which was full of energy.
Besides, Qin Feng, Luo Tong, Li Yexu, Cheng Chumo, and Wei Chi Baoqing, except for Qin Feng, who is used to wandering outside, the rest of the four are all away from home for the first time. It can be said that these four people have long been like arrows.
It's a pity that the wishes of the four of them were all disappointed when they arrived in Chang'an.
On the way, a group of people were robbed by people sent by Li Shimin.
When Li Shimin announced that Chai Shao was the first, this buddy actually said that the victory of the war was due to the full operation of Qin Feng and the new army.
Dead and alive refuse to accept this credit.
Xue Wanjun also praised Qin Feng for his young and promising youth, and he was the first to make a contribution.
The two coaches refused to take the first credit at the same time, and except for a limited number of people, the whole court was dumbfounded.
Since ancient times, there have been many people who have taken the merits of others, but strange things happen every year, and today there are many of them, and two fierce generals in a hundred battles are actually convinced by a young general at the same time.
Because of the relationship between the two, the reward ceremony could not continue.
When Li Shimin asked about Qin Feng, Chai Shaocai said that Qin Feng parted ways with them halfway and went back to the camp in the south of the country.
The reward has to continue, if a hearty victory becomes the laughing stock of the world, it will lose the face of the Tang Dynasty. In desperation, Li Shimin sent dozens of palace guards who knew Qin Feng to go to the Zhongnan camp to find Qin Feng and others, some of them went straight to the camp, and some of them searched on the road they had to pass.
This group was lucky, and they stopped five people on the way.
When the five people understood the truth of the matter, they were all dumbfounded. While thanking Chai Shao and Xue Wanjun, he couldn't help but feel proud.
Check it out!
Without a few brothers, I can't even hold a commendation meeting.
"Generals, don't be in a daze. The emperor and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are waiting for you! "At the critical moment, several masters started to stay, but the guards were in a hurry.
Qin Feng came back to his senses and said, "How can we look like a saint, let's go home and change our clothes!" ”
Several of them were still wearing leather armor from the time of the expedition, and the color showed a dark red, which was the face dyed by the blood of countless Turks, and a set of clothes, it was impossible to distinguish the original color.
In the era when there was no detergent, this garment could be considered scrapped.
"No, no. That's just right! The emperor doesn't count. "The Praetorian Guards were the Xuanjia Army back then, and when they saw the face of their clothes, they all gasped, and they knew too well what it was on their clothes.
"Okay!"
Qin Feng, who was the leader, said with a smile: "Face the saint early, go home early and see your mother." ”
Everyone burst into laughter, marched forward together, the officers and soldiers opened the way, and everyone galloped across Chang'an City, heading straight to the palace, attracting countless passers-by to stop and watch.
