Chapter 24 The reward for effort

As soon as Luo Shixin's order for this reward was conveyed, the soldiers who went out this time burst into uncontrollable shouts.

Five sheep, a horse, and an ox were great rewards, especially for cows.

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.

As an expert in arable land, the value of cattle in agriculture is far from being replaced by sheep and horses. In ancient times, only peasants with a certain amount of money bought cattle to plough the land, ordinary peasants mostly used horses to plough the fields, followed by donkeys, and the poorest nature was manpower.

The labor force of a ploughing ox is comparable to more than ten prime of life, and it has a pivotal position in the farming-based nation. Because of this, there are special regulations to protect cattle in the ancient law, prohibiting the slaughter of cattle, injuring other people's cattle, and being questioned and imprisoned, which shows the importance of cattle.

This can be allocated to a ploughing ox, and the efficiency of ploughing 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 after that, the gorgeous military uniforms were distributed, and the clothing, food, shelter, and transportation were even in front of the food, which shows how the ancients attached importance to their own clothing.

Looking at the gorgeous and handsome military uniforms that came down, the soldiers were so happy that they didn't even dare to pick it up with their dirty hands, and only after wiping and wiping it on their bodies did they dare to take it.

Luo Shixin asked all the soldiers to wash up. Changed into a brand new military uniform.

Wearing handsome and gorgeous clothes, the atmosphere in the army immediately felt different. This man is clothed, and his horse is saddled. What is said is true.

Just like a military parade, the soldiers put on this brand new armor, and their spirit was particularly magnificent.

"Let's go, let's return to the camp in triumph!" Luo Shixin waved his hand, and more than 1,000 soldiers walked into the barracks under the leadership of Luo Shixin.

Luo Shixin at the front was dressed in gorgeous bright light armor, which looked majestic under the sunlight, and behind him were Su Dingfang, Xue Yong, Mo Hu'er, Xi Junmai, and Yan Pei. They are all wearing light armor, although this light armor is not as gorgeous as Mingguang armor, but it is the most popular general armor in the Tang Dynasty. The light armor is also unusually dazzling and gorgeous. Behind the five generals was the Shengjie army dressed in mountain armor.

As a pro-guard, Luo Shixin had already prepared the most suitable mountain armor for them for cavalry warfare, and originally wanted to select the elite among the border soldiers to make up for the amount of the victorious army, but the quality of the border soldiers was outrageously poor. The pro-guards would rather be lacking than excessive. The matter was put on hold. Until today. Yan Pei and his subordinates made up for the amount of the guards. The mountain armor that had been prepared for a long time and the saber spear specially prepared for horse warfare also came in handy.

Yan Pei saw that Luo Shixin really used people without suspicion, and he didn't need to use suspicious people, and he was very moved by them.

Luo Shixin's personal guards were specially selected from the battle-hardened Right Xiaowei and the Tianjie Army, and they were all warriors with one as ten, while Yan Pei's subordinates had been on the grassland for ten years. He also has the air of vicissitudes of life. The two teams of soldiers and horses are in one place, and there is a strong momentum. Visible at a glance.

The soldiers around them were full of admiration, Luo Shixin, Su Dingfang, Xue Yong, Mo Hu'er, Xi Junmai, and Yan Pei, but they were also soldiers, and they still fantasized about entering the pro-guard team and receiving the best benefits.

But soon they let out a burst of exclamations, and behind the Shengjie army was a soldier wearing a soldier's leather armor, but decorated with extraordinary luxury...... When did the soldiers get treated like this?

They looked at the leather armor on their bodies, and after looking at the new soldier's armor on the opposite side with the leather armor and soap juan armor combined into one, they consciously felt uncomfortable, with a little jealousy, and some of them had already faintly regretted it. At the beginning, Su Dingfang, Xue Yong, and Mo Huer respectively posted notices in the barracks to recruit personal guards, and the welfare of personal guards remained unchanged, but the intensity of training was twice that of 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 have chosen to sign up and become the personal guards of the trio. 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, the shotguns changed for guns, and became so glamorous, 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.

At this moment, they do not yet know what kind of reward the object of their envy has received.

Under the propaganda of well-intentioned people, the results of this battle and the rewards of the soldiers this time spread among the army in a short period of time......

Five sheep, a horse, a cow, and a suit of bright armor, not counting the silver reward.

If the original idea was just envy and a little jealousy, then they would not be calm when they heard the news......

But what if you don't calm down?

The choice is in their hands, everyone is equal in front of the opportunity, and the coward chooses to retreat, chooses to go with the flow, does not seek progress, and naturally gets nothing. 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 soldiers who had been rewarded with envy, those soldiers who were handsome and different from them......

There is no regret medicine in this world.

And that's the first step!

Soon, Qing, Sui, and Yan all learned that Luo Shixin had made great achievements in the grassland, with a number of 1,000 people, he broke through the two Turkic tribes, killed and wounded 5,000 enemies, rescued nearly 200 people trapped in the Central Plains in the Turks, and also obtained nearly 30,000 sheep, 4,000 cattle, and 13,000 fine war horses.

As a border city, Qing, Sui, and Yan prefectures were not less disturbed by the Turks, but the weakness of the border soldiers made them not have a good impression of the border soldiers, but they repaid great enthusiasm for the 12th Army in Guanzhong, and every time the 12th Army in Guanzhong rushed to the front line from Guanzhong to repel the enemy, they would be warmly greeted by them.

Now they suddenly found that there were also warriors among the border soldiers, and the soldiers wearing new handsome clothes and armor were the brave soldiers who went deep into the Turks and broke the Turks.

Under the propaganda of public opinion, all the Jiesheng soldiers wearing mountain armor and the soldiers wearing new armor became local heroes and received hero-like treatment...... (To be continued......)
