Chapter 635: Restrain the Horse from the Precipice, Don't Forget Your Original Intention

There was news from Tongwan City that the Eastern Turkistan Liao was officially separated from the Tuliao State, and Ashina Langqing established the Tujin State and had ascended the throne as emperor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

This news is good news for the Dingbei Garrison Regiment. At this time, the grassland has entered the winter, and the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the grassland that was clear and green last month seems to have turned into a vast snowfield overnight.

Ashina Wolf Qing chose to split up at this time and call the emperor the founding of the country, obviously he was also prepared. Now the grassland has been covered by heavy snow, and the snow is knee-deep, making it extremely inconvenient for cavalry to dispatch. Even if Fan Guoshi and Ashina Huo'er wanted to crusade against him, it would be difficult to send troops. Even if he reluctantly sent troops, with the help of this heavy snow to delay the obstacles, Ashina Wolf Qing also had time to calmly arrange a counterattack.

After the division of East Turkistan Liao, Tongwancheng was equivalent to being attacked on the back of the enemy, and had to divide troops to guard against East Turkistan Liao. As a result, the number of troops that Ashina Hu'er used to fight the garrison will also be reduced.

The Dingbei garrison regiment did not feel too happy with this good news. Anyway, regardless of whether East Turkistan and Liao are divided or not, they will all be cleared up in the future. Deputy Head Li was very resolute in the matter of exterminating the Tuliao people. Blood debts are paid in blood, and the life of a Pingzhou common man is exchanged for the life of a Tuliao wolf beast, which is very fair.

Since the end of the negotiations with the two countries, Li Deyi has been very happy recently, and he feels very proud of his plan. Through this meeting with the two countries, the pressure on the supply of grain and grass was successfully relieved without a single soldier, and a large-scale war horse trade was also opened with the two countries. Li Deyi is very complacent about his wise actions.

Riding on a Humvee, wearing an indigo blue brand new cotton uniform, although the winter of the grassland is very cold, but it is still not frozen for the time being, this set of garrison regiments specially customized, lined with leather cotton jackets. Li Deyi inspected the camp as usual, and Zhu Biao and Liu Ying had not been with him recently.

The two princes couldn't rack their brains to come up with a post-war summary last time, but they were ruthlessly killed by Li Deyi. Next, Li Deyi killed the two princes three times in a row. In order to complete their homework, these days, the two boys simply closed the door and stayed in the house thinking hard.

Li Deyi can now understand how much thought his senior brother has wasted in order to inspire him to think. It's not that what the two apprentices said was wrong, but that there was always something wrong. Li Deyi knew it clearly, but he couldn't say it clearly, for fear of blocking the two apprentices' train of thought, so he could only think of it step by step and guide them to think on their own. If the two apprentices want to be emperors in the future, they must be thorough in thinking about the problem, so that they are not easy to be misled by the courtiers. Although this requirement is a bit unreasonable for the two half-grown children who are less than twenty years old, since they are the prince, they have to bear the pressure of the prince, and they can only advance and not retreat. Because once the prince retreats, the end will be bleak.

Although Li Deyi protects the calf, he will inevitably protect the two apprentices in the future, but he can't protect him for a lifetime.

The two little apprentices were not around, and the other fifty-three students had their own tasks recently, and they were not by Li Deyi's side. These fifty-three apprentices have now grown up, and when the battle to destroy the Tuliao Kingdom is over, most of them will go back to marry their daughters-in-law and start a family. They have now become the young pillars of the garrison regiment, and Regiment Leader Liu is currently conducting intensive training for them, teaching a few children who have entered the Juwu Tong Realm to cultivate their original qi and guide those who are still in the Qi Realm.

Li Deyi rode a Hummer alone, wandering around and patrolling, and suddenly remembered his daughter-in-law at home, and suddenly he hadn't seen each other for half a year.

"I don't know if my daughter-in-law is pregnant with a man or a woman. It is said that the tip of the belly is a male baby, and the round belly is a female baby. When I left, my daughter-in-law was not yet pregnant, so I couldn't see it......" Li Deyi muttered softly, thinking distractedly about his wife and unborn child at home, and let Hummer take him around the inspection. In fact, the old doctor Sun once used the star map to deduce, saying that it was a boy. But Li Deyi, who is about to become a father, always hesitates in his heart.

As he was working hard, Li Deyi suddenly heard someone calling him behind his ear, and when he turned his head, it was Wang Meng who was chasing.

"Deputy Head Li, there will be something to discuss at the end." Wang Meng quickly chased after Li Deyi.

"What's the matter?"

"The last general heard that Deputy Commander Li was rewarded for the good war horses of the Liao Dynasty, and asked the Pingtang Kingdom and the Pinghan Kingdom to transport grain, grass and other materials for the garrison regiment." Wang Meng said. Now that he is talking to Li Deyi, he has become straight and rough, and he no longer has to drag a paragraph of text first as he did at the beginning. Wang Meng has been escorting back and forth in the rear grain road, although Tongwancheng has not sent cavalry to intrude recently, he is still vigilant every day and insists on patrolling. It wasn't until yesterday, when he returned to the camp to report, that he saw a man carrying grain, timber, etc. to the camp of the garrison regiment.

This matter is Li Deyi's recent smug hand, and when he heard Wang Meng ask, he immediately smiled and said, "There is such a thing." ”

"Deputy head of the regiment, the people of the Pingtang Kingdom and the Pinghan Kingdom have always had to serve in the conscription, and this time the two countries must forcibly requisition the people to transport grain, from the two countries to our camp on the grassland, thousands of miles away, and now it is winter, the grassland is cold and covered with snow. The road is slippery and difficult to walk, and those people are thinly clothed, and if they continue like this, I am afraid that many people in the two countries will be disabled. The more Wang Meng spoke, the lower his voice became.

When Li De heard this, he was full of excitement. How did his father not have it back then, it was not that he was recruited by the Pingzhou Dynasty to serve as a strongman, and went to the army to transport grain and do rough work, but he never returned. Leaving Li Deyi and his mother behind a pair of orphans and widows, they lived a bleak life. As soon as Li De grew up, his mother collapsed due to overwork, and was killed by a cold.

Just because his father was forcibly conscripted by the imperial court that year and died tragically in a foreign land. Therefore, after Li Deyi presided over Dingbei County, he never forced the people to work, and every time he paid high commissions to hire the people. For the people who do not have accidents when working, they take good care of their widows and orphans, which is equivalent to the preferential treatment of ordinary military families.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, Li Deyi, who is now a high-ranking and powerful person, unknowingly became the powerful man he hated so much that he gritted his teeth back then.

Thinking about this section, Li De broke out in a cold sweat in an instant. touched his face and bowed to Wang Meng: "Thanks to Jing Luo's reminder, otherwise I will become a scourge." ”

Then, Li Deyi asked Wang Meng again: "I don't know if there is a way to deal with Jingluo?" ”

Wang Meng said: "Why don't you order the two countries to follow the law of our garrison regiment, hire the people to work, and pay the workers the wages of the people on a monthly basis." Generous compensatory compensation for the unfortunate dead and injured. ”

Wang Meng came to remind the deputy commander this time, which was also due to the fact that after he joined the garrison regiment, he was deeply influenced by the garrison regiment. The garrison has always cherished the people's strength and is extremely generous to the people under its rule. After Wang Meng joined the garrison, he was unconsciously affected and became benevolent to the people.

This time, as soon as Wang Meng saw that the two people were strong in the cold weather, their clothes were thin, and their lips were blue from the cold, he was moved by compassion, so he came to Li Deyi to discuss.

In fact, Li Deyi has also been negligent these days, he is now the deputy commander, and the garrison regiment has gone deep into the hinterland of the Tuliao State, and he has to do extremely busy things every day, and he rarely has free time. I haven't personally taken care of these logistical grain and grass deliveries for a long time, so I don't know about the tragic situation of the two peoples.

After listening to Wang Meng's opinion, Li Deyi thought for a while, but did not agree. "This is a big deal, I have to go back and find a way to deal with it."

To tell the truth, Li Deyi really didn't want to rudely interfere with the emperors of the two countries at this time and make enemies with the two countries. Now that the battle of the Dingbei Garrison Group to the east to conquer the Liao State has reached a critical moment, at this time, there must be no extraneous branches.

Last time, the Ping Tang State and the Ping Han Kingdom wanted to make peace with the Tuliao State, and after Li Deyi knew about it, he directly sent a letter to each of them, in which the two emperors were scolded bitterly, and then they threatened the two emperors to stop making peace immediately.

The emperors of the two countries were forced to give up peace at that time because of the invincible combat strength of the garrison, but to say that there was no mustard left in their hearts, it was definitely to coax children. In fact, to be honest, it was not that Commander Liu was not prepared for war with the two countries at that time.

But at this time, at this time, the garrison regiment army is outside, more than 1,000 miles away from Dingbei County, nearly 2,000 miles away, there is no village in front of the village, there is no store in the back, and the logistics supply line is extremely long. If Li De is as strong as last time, the emperors of the two countries will definitely not endure it anymore, and then they will inevitably fight with the two countries, and the situation will be extremely unfavorable to the garrison.

Li Deyi was silent and did not speak, and began to rack his brains to think. Hehe, it's really worthy of being a master and apprentice. The two little apprentices are racking their brains to do their homework behind closed doors, and now they have to rack their brains to solve the problems they have caused.

Wang Meng saw that Deputy Head Li was thinking seriously, so he quietly retreated.

was troubled by Wang Meng, and for the rest of the day, Li Deyi simply didn't think about tea and dinner, and kept thinking about countermeasures. After thinking about it, it wasn't until the middle of the night that Li Deyi suddenly found that this problem seemed to have become a dead knot.

At present, the Dingbei garrison must find ways to relieve the logistical pressure and increase the chances of victory in future decisive battles. The Pingtang and Pinghan were one of the best solutions, but in order to transport logistical materials such as grain, grass, construction and timber, these two countries would inevitably levy the common people into forced labor, so that the people would brave the severe cold of the grassland and transport them all the way to the garrison battalion. This is the last thing Li Deyi wants to see.

However, Li Deyi could not forcibly order the emperors of the two countries to change this practice, which would inevitably further intensify the contradictions with the emperors of the two countries and lead the situation to a very dangerous edge.

But if they don't, the people of the two countries will inevitably be greatly hurt by Li Deyi's decision. Not to mention that in the future, once the Tuliao State sends the selection of Fengqi and the like to invade, I don't know how many dolls in the two countries will become poor babies without a father like Li Deyi did back then.

This night, Li De tossed and turned, thinking hard about the solution. Unconsciously, since I stepped into the realm of Juwutong, I rarely had a headache, and I actually had a seizure again.

Under the splitting headache, Li De couldn't think quietly again, so he could only endure the headache and fall asleep. At dawn, when he was half-asleep and half-awake, Li Deyi suddenly floated into many memory pictures in the sea. Li Deyi, who was sleeping, suddenly showed a big smile on his face.

Then Li Deyi was woken up by his own laughter, and after waking up, Li Deyi didn't have time to put on his shoes, ran down to the ground barefoot, came to the bookcase, picked up a hard charcoal pen and wrote the four big words "labor dispatch" on the paper.

After writing these four big characters, Li Deyi seemed to have completed a major event, breathed a long sigh of relief, slowly retreated to the bed, and continued to sleep.

Half an hour later, Li Deyi got up in a hurry, and the herald immediately summoned the envoys of the two countries, and he had important matters to discuss. Then he personally went to the Huotou camp and asked Wang Zhuangbiao to give each of the two Guozhuang a bowl of hot mutton soup.

After calling the permanent envoys of the two countries, Li Deyi said directly: "You should immediately send someone back to send a letter to the emperor, I have a big business that is pouring into the sky, and I want to cooperate with the royal families of the two countries...... Li Deyi talked about the benefits of this business in detail to the envoys of the two countries.

Let's not talk about how to do this business, but now that we have said it, the envoys of the two countries will not understand it for a while. Li Deyi first talked about the benefits of this business, such as increasing the income of the royal family and allowing the emperor to spread a good reputation for loving the people. For the imperial families of the two countries, this is a good business that kills multiple birds with one stone.

Now everyone in the world knows that this Deputy Head Li is not only a killer, but also very proficient in the way of management, and he is a real little god of wealth. Therefore, the envoys of the two countries did not suspect it at all, and immediately sent their confidants and officials to send the letter back as soon as possible.

When the two emperors received the messenger's urgent report, they were both very interested in this business. The emperors of both countries now know that in addition to being good at killing people and exterminating the clan, Deputy Head Li is also very good at making money.

The previous garrison regiment suddenly burst out with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and it has supported the Eastern Expedition with a county alone. The emperors of the two countries were surprised, but they also paid attention to it, and asked the ministers who had been to Dingbei County to learn more about the situation. After understanding it clearly at that time, the emperors of the two countries couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Deputy Head Li is really the living god of wealth." Since then, Li Deyi's reputation for being good at management has begun to spread all over the world.

After a little thought, the emperors of the two countries directly agreed. This matter is that Deputy Head Li is doing business with the royal family, and there is no need to consult with hundreds of officials, the emperor can directly make the decision and agree, and he is not afraid of irresponsible remarks.

In fact, the main reason why the emperors of the two countries agreed so happily to partner with the garrison to do this business was that the royal families of the two countries were really short of money.

Emperor Li Shiluan of the Ping Tang Dynasty and Li De began to do business in partnership early on. Now the salt business brings him more than 2 million silver coins in dividends every year. This money doesn't sound like much, the dignified emperor of the Tang Kingdom, would he still care about just two million silver coins? Now that the Pingtang Kingdom pays taxes a year, it has to have 30 million silver coins, which is only a lot more.

That's right, there is indeed so much tax revenue in the Pingtang Kingdom in a year, but don't forget, it is the money of the treasury, not the money of the emperor's treasury. These taxes come up for their own purposes, all kinds of disaster prevention and relief, officials, clan meritorious servants and rewards, soldiers and horses in various places, and so on.

Even if Li Shiluan is the emperor, he can't use the money in the treasury at will to spend it for himself. Unless he doesn't want Mingjun's good reputation, wants to be a faint king, or wants to mess up the country again.

However, the dividends that Li Deyi gave him in the salt business were different, these money were dividends from the partnership between the garrison and the royal family of the Pingtang Kingdom, and they could be sent to the inner cellar built by Li Shiluan in the palace. With more than 2 million silver coins every year, Li Shiluan is much more comfortable spending money.

But Rao can get an extra 2 million silver coins a year, but Li Shiluan still feels that the money is not enough to spend, so he has to be cheeky and quarrel with several prime ministers, and try his best to get more money from the treasury to his own treasury in a "reasonable and reasonable" way. For this matter, many imperial histories directly wrote to scold the emperor for competing with the people.

Li Shiluan wants to be a Ming monarch, so he can only endure these imperial histories. It's bearable, and you still have to find a way to get more money. This time, Li Deyi said that there was a money-making business to do, and Li Shiluan's heart was almost bubbling.

Liu Lai, the emperor of the Ping Han Kingdom, was even poorer, and his Ping Han Kingdom was built on the wasteland that had been plundered and ravaged by the Liao of Eastern Turkistan. His cavalry couldn't even get together their horses, and they used sturdy mules to make do with them.

As the emperor, Liu Lai searched all over the country, and he couldn't even get together four white horses, so he could only use variegated horses to pull his royal chariot. The reason why Liu Lai is so eager to trade war horses with the garrison is probably also due to this reason.

Liu Lai's queen Lu is still a wooden hairpin on her head. The Ping Han Dynasty was first established, and a hundred ruins were waiting to be revived. Everyone is so poor that a little money is used to restore production, and as a royal family, they should take the lead in frugality and think that they are an example for the world.

So as soon as Liu Lai heard that Deputy Head Li had a big business to do with him, he was so beautiful that he almost raised it, so he nodded and agreed.

Soon after, the envoys of the two countries, Wei Zhiyan and Zhang Zifang, went and returned. This time, the two of them had the emperor's order to discuss a plan to make money.
