Chapter 95: A Reward
(Thank you, book friend 100122220343059 children's shoes for rewarding again, thank you Qingping Sanren children's shoes for rewarding, thank you!) )
"We don't have enough troops, but we still have your 400,000 strong Great Sui people. Just behind us, on the west bank of the Liao River, is our land of the Great Sui, where there are still 47 million Great Sui compatriots. Behind us are Liaodong County, Yan County, Liucheng County, and further west is Zhuo County, where there are some of the most elite warriors in the world. As long as we stay here for a month, our elite million-strong division will be killed! ”
"Not only that, but we also have a favorable location now, and under our feet is Liaodong City, the first fortress in the northeast, where the city is high and strong, and it is difficult for a million troops to take it in a few months. We have the will to fight as one, since those Liao people who relied on the strong city of Liaodong to fight against us in the past have lost the city and fled in defeat, so even if they make a comeback, why should we be afraid? ”
"Today, not long ago, the defender of Liaodong City, Gao Jianwu, the king of Rongliu who was known as the best at fighting like Eulzhi, was the defender of Liaodong City, and he fled here in a hurry with hundreds of people, and even his most beloved concubine did not have time to take it away. What is the prince, in the new city, we have already caught a prince, and now this is just a defeated general who has lost his armor and is panicked like a lost dog. If he escapes back and hides in Pyongyang and does not come out, then he can enjoy a few comfortable days before we fight, and if he dares to come again, then we will teach them an eternal lesson, the prince of the Goguryeo barbarians, in the future, he will only feed us horses. It is the barbarian chieftain Gao Yuan, who will also shine his shoes for His Majesty in the future. ”
"Yes, what the general said is no longer right, we just want to teach these Liao people a lesson, what prince, what king, all have to be arrested and dedicated to Your Majesty!" A New Army soldier yelled loudly.
Chen Kefu looked at these people happily and said loudly, "Not only do we want to arrest these princes and kings, but their property, women, and land are all ours." I have decreed that all the people of the city of Baigoku, all those of the Goguryeo tribe, except for children who are higher than the sword and women who are not under thirty years old, shall be killed. The rest of the people of all ethnic groups in the city, all those who had been stained with the blood of the people of our Sui Dynasty, were killed without mercy, and all their families and relatives were confiscated as slaves, and their property was confiscated into the army. In addition, all the nobles and tyrants in the city were beheaded by men, enslaved women and children, and confiscated their property. ”
At the end, Chen Kefu said loudly, "In Liaodong City, except for the treasury in the warehouse, everyone has a share in all the nobles and confiscated property in the city. Tomorrow, all the soldiers will take turns to take a three-day vacation, and all the confiscated property in the city will be given to all the soldiers of today, except for half of the confiscated property, and the remaining half will be given to all the soldiers today. In addition, the general will also reward the soldiers from the public domain."
Looking at the eager eyes below, Chen Kefu calculated in his heart, 400,000 people is not a small number, one person is consistent, that is 400,000 yuan. After thinking about it, he reduced the original number in his heart by half, and after reducing it by half, he still said reluctantly, "I will give one million yuan to the soldiers!" ”
"Long live the Great Sui, long live His Majesty the Emperor, the Great General is mighty!" The cheers of the soldiers resounded throughout the night, and all the soldiers and people who had been excited all night suddenly became even more excited. One million guan, think about the stories they used to listen to, and the family fortune is already a huge rich. Now that the general has actually come up with a million yuan to reward him, it really makes them extremely excited. A million yuan, many people can't figure out how much money it is, is it 10,000, or 100,000, or 100,000, or 100,000 yuan? They really can't imagine how many mountains of gold can be piled up with so much money.
"Brothers, Your Majesty will not spare money to reward his soldiers, and this general will never be stingy with money, and all those who have made meritorious contributions today can not only receive the same reward, but also receive an additional reward. Not only that, but the general will also personally make a statement to His Majesty, and all those who have made meritorious contributions today will be rewarded by His Majesty. Money, possessions, official positions, land, even titles that have been passed down from generation to generation, all of this, as long as you can make great achievements, these are not dreams. ”,
Money, property, official positions, land, and even titles that have been passed down from generation to generation, all of this, Chen Kefu's words deeply stimulated these honest and honest farmers. When I think of the things I never dreamed of before, and now I can have them just a stone's throw away, I feel hysterical like ghosts.
Everyone was provoked by Chen Kefu, and no one thought that although they had taken Liaodong City, it was equivalent to telling the Goguryeo people their truth and truth. From now on, all the Goguryeo people will know that the army of the Sui Emperor has retreated, and all that remains in Liaodong is more than 10,000 soldiers and horses and a group of people who have not long thrown down their hoes.
Having lost the backing of the million-strong army of the Sui Dynasty, they will face the whole of Goguryeo alone in the future. There is no need for Chen Kefu to guess, he also knows that it will not be long before Goguryeo will definitely organize a large army and carry out a crazy counterattack against them.
For Chen Kefu, taking Liaodong City is just expected, and the real test has come. If he wants to build a career, he must gain a foothold in Liaodong and take Liaodong as the foundation, and now is the most difficult battle he will face. He will not have any more reinforcements, no more logistical food and grass supplies, all he has is 10,000 soldiers in the broken barracks, and there is a rabble composed of these 400,000 people, craftsmen, and auxiliaries.
With one lone army against one country, such pressure will be unprecedented. He couldn't believe that the peasants could withstand it, and he had to find a way to stir them up. Tempt people with national righteousness, wealth and money, and rich rewards after various victories. Finally, tell them that they have no way out, and only then can he have the confidence to gain a foothold in this place.
"Now, brethren, take up your sword and go and take the fruits of our victory. All the people now began to clean up the entire Liaodong City, and anyone who dared to resist would be killed. Before dawn, I want the entire Liaodong City to settle down, and all the people must obey the rule of my Great Sui. However, there were several military laws that informed everyone in advance, first, that it was forbidden to commit adultery with women, second, that it was forbidden to set fire to it, and third, that all seized booty must first be handed over to the warehouse, including women. These three rules are what you must abide by, and now Liaodong City is ours, and he is not allowed to be destroyed. If anyone does not obey the order, he will be killed! Go ahead! Chen Kefu stood on top of the city tower, his majestic gaze swept under the city, and everyone felt that gaze swept over their faces, and they were busy marching and shouting to obey orders.
After the soldiers and men reorganized their ranks, under the leadership of various officers, the teams left the gate of the East City and began to sort out the entire Liaodong City.
Mao Yi stood behind Chen Kefu and said with a smile, "Since the general killed those Goguryeo people, why did he leave those women and children alone?" And also ordered that adultery was strictly forbidden? These people have been out for so long, and it is inevitable that they will be a little uncontrollable when they see women. Although the general gave the order, I think there will be some people who will not be able to obey it. ”
Chen Kefu smiled, "Killing all those men is to deter the Liao people, and the second is to prevent the Liao people from wreaking havoc in the city." As for keeping women, it's very simple, first, these women will not be a threat to us, second, women can also afford some logistics, and third, as you said, when the army is outside, there will definitely be people who can't control women when they see it. As you know, there have always been prostitutes in our Sui army to comfort the three armies. Now that we are staying in Liaodong, we will definitely not be able to go back for a while. After a long time, the soldiers will inevitably feel homesick, and we use these women as military prostitutes, which can also relieve the emotions of some soldiers. ”
"Moreover, in order to reassure the soldiers, we are now giving out a lot of rewards, which is also a large number. Through this, these military prostitutes can also raise military funds. As for keeping the children, you should also understand some of my thoughts, maybe we will rely on this in the future, then killing alone will definitely not solve the problem. Sooner or later, we will have to turn these Liao people into our people, starting with these children now. ”
After hearing this, Mao Yi's eyes flashed with excitement and said, "Young master, no matter where you will go, I, Mao Yi, will always be the sword in your hand, where you point, I will slash to." ”
Chen Kefu was completely cautious of Mao Yi, and now he was even happier to see that he could understand his thoughts, and said with a smile, "You can understand these things, but now you can only take one step at a time." ”
"Then why did you decree that adultery should not be allowed, young master? Anyway, they're just barbarian women, so they're nothing, right? ”
"No, what is an army? Strong combat effectiveness is not the first requirement of the army, and the biggest difference between the army and ordinary people is discipline. The so-called mercy is not in charge of the troops, and leading the troops can be harsh. Now if we want to establish a foundation in Liaodong, we can't just rely on 10,000 broken military camps. According to my thoughts, the hundreds of thousands of people in Liaodong City are our cornerstone. There is a way that is a combination of grace and power, so as to serve the people. I have already given a great deal of reward, and now it is time to stand up. ”
"These hundreds of thousands of people, if we can't make them understand the strict military discipline, then how can we lead them in the future. When I said these three military orders, I had already predicted that someone would break them, and I was waiting for them to break them. Mao Yi, rewarding wealth can make them embrace me, and the majesty of the army can also make them fear me! Now you send out the soldiers of the 1,000 broken barracks in your hands as law enforcement teams to patrol the whole city, and if you find anyone who violates my three military orders, you will immediately tie them up and imprison them in the barracks, and tomorrow, I will publicly execute these disobedient people in the city, so that everyone can understand what discipline is. ”
