Section 4 Military Merit Medal
In fact, there is no road in the Western Regions, and even if there is, it will disappear without a trace after a sandstorm, and the cavalry of gold and iron will run over the edge of the camel city, one will appear at the top of the sand dune, and the next will appear on the edge of the dry oasis, like a group of idle hyenas.
The biggest problem with war is that people will die, once there is a large-scale war in a place, you will find strangely, there will be very few people, you can see dead camels, dead cattle and sheep from time to time on the Gobi in the Western Regions, but you can't see people, whether they are alive or dead, you can't see them.
Only people have the habit of burying the same kind, the merchants saw the dry bones of the dead on the trade road, whether the leader of the caravan was a profiteer or not, they would find a place with a relatively small wind and sand to bury these bones, and bury them in the ground, this habit must be spread, in case they die in the desert, later people will do the same, in the desert, no one is safe, the old generation said so.
As for the robbers, they respect the tradition of entering the soil for peace, and after killing someone, they must bury it quickly, like a dog burying bones, not letting God see it, but only letting the Houtu grandmother know, after all, God will thunder, and the Houtu grandmother will be merciful, just like a mother who dotes on her child, and after the child has done something bad, the mother will hide it.
When a small wind blows, dust rises in the desert, and the flying dust hits the camel city like a virtual battering ram, fierce but powerless. The fortified camel city does not know how many such attacks it will receive in a day.
The people in the big wooden house in the center of the camel city were not in the mood to feel the rough and heroic of the desert, and hurriedly entered and exited the room one by one with thick papers, and even trotted all the way to relieve them.
As long as the soldiers pass by here, they will stretch their necks to look at the big wooden house, and when they encounter the paperwork that comes out halfway to breathe, they will smile and hand over a handful of fried beans, and ask him in a low voice How long will it take for the military industry to be calculated?
The clerk chewed the beans with a rattle. pretended to give a mysterious gesture, and the other party immediately made a look of sudden realization, wondering how much military merit he had earned, whether it was enough for the whole family to be tax-free, whether it was enough to return to the county as a fast catcher, and whether it was enough to get a military merit medal to go back.
"Your Majesty is going to use this thing to fool me into the Western Army? There is no big deal of silver. Gold, treasures, land, women, high-ranking officials only have such a piece of broken iron? Is it not beautiful enough to be put in a pawnshop as a silver coin? “
Yun Ye's roaring voice could be heard by the eagles flying in the sky in the Western Regions, and he was fed up with such deception in the later life. "Comrade Yun Ye has made ...... in the past year A medal was awarded for encouragement, and everyone applauded......
Comrade Yun Ye made great efforts in the 98th year...... A medal was awarded for encouragement, and everyone applauded......
Comrade Yun Ye ......"
It's all tears. After a year of being a cow and a horse, what you get is not a piece of paper, but an iron card, which is called a spiritual reward, compared to any banknote, the gold is too high-grade...... "Who came up with this lack of moral idea?" Yun Ye saw the familiar card styles on the table, and adding some stars was no different from what he had gotten before, and remembered what happened to him. Thinking about these fools eating sand in the desert, anger is about to gush out of their anuses. "Hey, hey, hey. Lao Yun, don't be angry at me, I came here from Chaotic Stone City to sue you about this matter, this is a new measure of the imperial court this year, and it is a new policy. You see this golden dragon card is specially awarded to the general level, you have one, the old man also has one, by the way, this golden dragon dragging the scroll of the card is Lao Du's. He was a civil servant, and he could only get such cards. "Xu Jingzong was holding the teapot, and he seemed to be very happy, and he was a fool who was stupid by his reputation." You're also a civil official, why didn't you get a four-legged snake drag card? "It's different, it's different, it's very different, the old man has personally led the army to fight with the Tubo people in the city, and he has obtained real military merits, how can he compare with a civilian official like Lao Du who supports in the rear." Xu Jingzong is full of pride when he talks about this, no matter how big the merit of the civil official is, it is not as good as the military merit, and the military merit in the Tang Dynasty can sometimes save his life, even if he is accidentally corrupt, or he looks at the daughter of a family who is strong, there are military merits, the emperor may look at the sake of you who have sold your life for yourself, as soon as you loosen your hand, he will give you a way to live, the civil officials of the Tang Dynasty do these things, their reputation will stink, and there is basically no hope of resurgence, the military generals are different, do not embezzle, do not lie about military merits, Is a military general who doesn't rob the people's daughters called a military general?
Li Hongji, the old hooligan of the Ten Daughters of the Night Emperor, and Shunde, the eldest grandson of corruption, were not taken away by the emperor? It's just that on the emperor's birthday, he hugged the emperor's leg and cried, and the emperor got the side hall and didn't know how many mouths he sucked, and then he came back diligently.
In contrast, Wei Zheng did not have such good luck, and his title was restored, but his reputation was also stinky. "Lao Yun, don't underestimate these cards, the gold is expensive, you got six medals in one breath this time, these things can be hung on the court clothes to show off, and it is the least to see the official and not worship it."
Xu Jingzong picked up a silver tiger badge from it and put it on Yun Ye's chest and kept gesturing. "Are you stupid or am I stupid, is there anyone in the court who I have to pay a big bow to worship now? The Great Dynasty will pay homage to His Majesty Xià is a person who can't escape.,This tiger badge has a fart relationship with me.。 No, I'm going to play the table, Your Majesty can't fool these soldiers in a hundred battles like this, they are all blood spilled on the battlefield to be on Lao Tzu's merit book, and it's not good to be fooled like this to provoke a mutiny. ”
"Mutiny? Who will rebel? When this thing was tried to be implemented in Chang'an, the soldiers who won the medal cried and shook the sky, especially the generals of several foreign races, who cut their faces with knives and swore allegiance to His Majesty, and the soldiers in the army also shouted long live, no one was unwilling, the army in the east, south, and north had been finished, and we ran far, and the angel did not send these things over until now, His Majesty said, these things are to reward the soldiers for their heroic killing, and there will be a reward after returning to Chang'an. ”
"Go back?"
"Yes, I heard that Niangniang has ordered the inner government to prepare, and this time the big reward will come directly from the inner government, and it will not occupy the money and grain of the treasury."
Hearing that there was also a reward, Yun Ye became happy, that's right, they are all honest men who grow crops, what kind of noble people do you learn, after all, it is real money and silver to move people's hearts, these cards are not bad as a means of spiritual comfort, and their own golden dragon cards are pressed upside down, the weight of a gold coin.
After admiring the medal for a while, Yun Ye suddenly remembered the angel mentioned by Xu Jingzong, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the angel?" Why don't you see him coming, don't dare to slack off, why do you need to entertain him well, and help us say a few good words when we go back. ”
The corners of Xu Jingzong's mouth twitched, and he said with a wry smile: "I'm dead, I'm dead in Ranshi City, I lived for less than a month, I vomited and diarrhea when I drank water, and I died after three days, I don't know how I survived these three years, and when I returned to Chang'an, the old man planned to live in Yanlai Lou and couldn't come out, damn, my orchids are dead, and the natives can't stand it, and the old man has reduced his life span by at least ten years in the past three years." ”
Yun Ye looked at Xu Jingzong suspiciously and said, "It can't be that the angel killed your orchid's idea, right?" Tell me, how did you do it, don't worry, brother will help you clean up the back tail, and he must become a headless case. ”
Xu Jingzong couldn't help but put the teapot on the table, pointed at Yun Ye and scolded with a smile: "In the past three years, you have become more and more obscene in the army, and after four or five years of orchids, who is willing to kill for her." Even if it is given to Huang Yuanshou, he has to take it over! ”
Old friends are happy to meet, nonsense can make people happy immediately, this place in the Western Regions is too evil, basically the death of friendship, as long as people arrive in the Western Regions, ambition will rise slowly, Xitong is like this, Han Zhe is so, and He Shao is also like this, he is used to seeing the endless earth, so he has a heart of hegemony, and when he sees the vastness of the world, he wants to engrave his name on this land, but I don't know that the sky in the northwest cannot accommodate many ambitious people.
Or Lao Xu, a great yin person like Lao Xu can be relied on, blindly drilling into the rich circle without ambition, seeing too much of the northwest and only thinking about his own soft red, and thinking about making money at home, this is what a long-lived person looks like.
Yun Ye swore that in the future, the family will never let those ambitious guys come to the door, the more far-sighted the guys must be more vigilant, and in the future, the family will only entertain those who are short-sighted and unambitious, and those who eat and wait for death must definitely be entertained well, these talents are all the way to themselves, so as not to reap a stomach of grievances after putting their feelings into it.
The merit book was sent up by Fan Hongyi, Lao Fan's eyes were red, he hadn't had a good night's sleep these days, he always felt that it was not good to bury the merits of the soldiers, and those Wuli Sima under his hands checked and investigated day and night, and tried not to miss a person, he was originally a very square person, there was something at hand, if he didn't deal with it properly, he couldn't sleep, the handsome man had to be in a hurry, the merit book was just sorted out, and he sent it over.
Yun Ye flipped through the credit book, took a red pen to cross out his name, and then crossed out Du Ruhui's name, and then mentioned Guo Ping's name in the back to the front, alongside Cheng Chumo's name. After doing these things, he said to Fan Hongyi: "Increase the merits of the brothers by 30% on the current basis." "Huh?" Fan Hongyi's mouth opened like a hippopotamus. (To be continued......)
