Chapter 387: Tasteless Food
As the saying goes, you can come whatever you want, and after learning that Prince Sayachu turned out to be the general of the Second Division of the Xizhou Garrison, Zhang Zheng almost looked up to the sky and laughed.
I'm worried that I can't find a suitable person to lead the troops, isn't this there? Not to mention the 5,000 people under Xu Jingzong, plus the 1,000 Gaochang defeated troops that had just been gathered, Zhang Zheng now has about 3,000 combatable soldiers in his hands.
Three thousand soldiers, not too much and not too little. Although they were all alien troops, Zhang Zheng knew that as long as they were given the treatment they wanted, these three thousand alien soldiers would definitely be extremely loyal to Datang.
In this day and age, no one would not want to be a Tang Dynastyer. Don't underestimate these 3,000 alien troops, in this place in the Western Regions, if these 3,000 people really want to be used well, they may not be much worse than the 3,000 Tang Army soldiers.
And Kurban is clearly not a suitable candidate for the main player. Don't look at his elated training now, but if he really wants to fight, Zhang Zheng has no doubt that he will be the first to turn around and run.
Therefore, a qualified general is exactly what Zhang Zheng is most lacking.
"Bring the thousand people under your command under Kurban, and you will be the deputy envoy of the regiment." Zhang Zheng waved his hand, and Saya Chu, who was still the general of the defeated army in the last second, became the deputy envoy of regimental training under Zhang Zheng in the next second.
"Ahh
"Huh?" Sayacho and Kurban, who were kneeling in front of Zhang Zheng, exclaimed at the same time. The excitement in Kurban's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he didn't have any opinion on it.
The general of the Second Division, who was high in the past, has now become a subordinate of one of his own sand thieves? One word, cool!
Prince Saya is a little angry, no matter how down-and-out he is, after all, he is the former noble lord of Gaochang, and he is even in a high position in the army, and now he has fallen into the company of sand thieves who are no different from maggots.
Forget it for the company, or the vice-second? Didn't I, Prince Saya, have been the commander of an army in my life?
But not being angry was only a matter of a moment, and when he was on Zhang Zheng's young but unquestionable face, he didn't dare to have any opinions.
The loser has no human rights, and it is already good to be able to save a life.
"Kurban, according to the military system of the Tang Dynasty, these people will be scattered and mixed into the army, remember, now you are all members of the command, the commander does not prohibit healthy competition, but everything must be based on the premise of combat power, if anyone dares to mess around in the army and affect the training of the army, the official will not be spared." Zhang Zheng raised his finger and pointed to the Gaochang troops who were kneeling on the ground, and gave an order to Kurban, and also knocked him by the way.
In the army, the strong have always been respected, and whoever has the biggest fist will be effective when he speaks. For such rules, Zhang Zheng is happy to hear about them.
Zhang Zheng doesn't want a kind army, let alone an army of scoundrels. What the army wants is one word: recklessness!
After instructing Kurban, Zhang Zheng changed his face again, and said to Saya Prince: "Saya Prince, you can also go with Kurban to familiarize yourself with the military system of the Tang Dynasty, you are a general, and this official sincerely hopes that you can bring out an army that can fight well for this official." For capable people, the official has always been hesitant to promote and reuse, under the command of the official, the background, seniority, and origin are not important, everything is based on talent. It's just that after Zhang Zheng's words were finished, Sayakuzhu was unmoved.
"Do you have any concerns, let's listen to this official?" Seeing this, Zhang Zheng asked again, Zhang Zheng has always been patient with capable people.
As soon as Zhang Zheng's words fell, Prince Sayachu suddenly knelt in front of Zhang Zheng with five bodies, and said in a broken Tang dialect: "Go back and don't drive, if you let the lord of the country know that I surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, I will definitely not let my family go, and please don't forgive me, it's not that I don't want to surrender to the Tang Dynasty sincerely, but I really have to have a last resort." ”
"Your family?" Zhang Zheng suddenly understood why the Saya Chu would rather wander in the desert with more than 1,000 people than flee back to Jiaohe.
Maybe Jiaohe City thought that they had already died in Xizhou. That's a nuisance. These routs are different from the bandits they gathered before, the bandits come and go like the wind, and if they have money today, they will be happy today.
lived a life of eating the last meal and not the next, and naturally there was no such thing as a family. However, most of the Gaochang defeated soldiers had families, some in Xizhou, some in Jiaohe, and some in other places.
If they die in battle, their families may be able to get some preferential treatment. If the Jiaohe City side knew that not only did they not die in battle, but directly surrendered to the Tang army, would their families still have a good end?
But Zhang Zheng is really short of manpower now. If you don't get out the families of these defeated soldiers, I'm afraid they won't have the heart to practice.
What's more, if one day Gao Chang uses these family members to blackmail these defeated soldiers, it will be a time bomb if Zhang Zheng can't collect them.
It's a pity to discard it if it's tasteless. Rubbing his chin, Zhang Zheng seriously considered this problem.
If it is collected, and the problem of the family is not solved, these routs will be a bomb that may be repeated at any time. If you don't accept it, it's already delivered to you, and it's not good not to accept it.
Well, the main thing is that there is a real shortage of people.
"How many of your families are in Xizhou, and how many of you have families in Jiaohe or elsewhere?" After a long silence, Zhang Zheng still decided to help them solve this problem.
After all, Xizhou is now a city under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and there are also soldiers of Zhichong Mansion guarding the city.
After arriving in Xizhou, it was impossible for Zhang Zheng to enhance the power in his hands so loudly.
In addition, the bandits along the way have also been almost contained, and this is likely to be Zhang Zheng's last chance to strengthen the power in his hands.
"Don't drive, most of the more than 1,000 people under my command are people who have crossed the river." As soon as Sayachu spoke, he saw Zhang Zheng's face as if he had eaten a dead fly.
Zhang Zheng almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, Du Te is from Jiaohe, why the hell are you planning to let me secretly move out more than a thousand households of the population of Jiaohe City?
Prince Sayazi also knew that his words had a certain impact on this young Datang don't drive, after all, it was the royal capital of Gaochang.
Wanting to transfer more than 1,000 households from the royal capital unknowingly is tantamount to a fantasy. But the concerns of the soldiers under his command cannot but be expressed.
In the end, Prince Sayashi had to weakly explain: "Xizhou is a shopping mall, and the population under its rule is not large, so it ......"
"Okay, don't say any more, report to me the situation at the homes of the soldiers under your command, the more detailed the better, and I will find a way. You go to train with Kurban first, and you don't show up in the army until your family members take you out of Jiaohe City. Zhang Zheng hurriedly raised his hand to stop Saya Chu's words, he was afraid that he would be unable to help but give up on these more than 1,000 people if he listened to it again.
