Chapter 196: The Soldier's Relief! (Ask for subscription)
"Childe Gaoyi!" The generals said in unison.
Fusu said with a resolute face: "Generals, don't be happy so early, the court does have the idea of cashing in on the rewards, but the generals should also know that the court owes a lot of rewards, and they can't be cashed in a short time, so the generals in the army need to take care of them more in the past two years." ”
"How dare you disobey." The crowd shouted.
They looked excited.
If the court can really fulfill the promised rewards, this is undoubtedly a great encouragement and excitement for the army, the army over the years, morale has been up and down, the main reason is that the service period, repeatedly extended, two years after two years, seems to be endless.
Furthermore.
The rewards that the imperial court should have fulfilled have not been honored, which made many soldiers in the army have ideas, but in view of Meng Tian's prestige is high enough, and the imperial court has enough prestige in the past, this allows the army to always be stable and unchaotic, but this is not destined to be a long-term strategy.
Only by solving it can we eliminate future troubles.
Now that the imperial court has begun to solve it, the big stone hanging in their hearts can finally be put down, how can they not feel excited and excited?
These are all soldiers who were born and died with them!
People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless?
Fusu continued: "Now that the money and food I brought have been handed over to the general, I Fusu don't want to be too involved, but I will say it first, these money and food are for the soldiers, and the distribution process will never be allowed to cause any problems. ”
Meng Tian said: "The eldest son can rest assured. ”
"These money and grain will be verified according to the standard of 'first inspection', and there will never be any omissions and greed."
"In front of the army, the money and food will be distributed, and the school will be three days, and all the soldiers will have no objections before they can finally return to the volume."
"The eldest son can be supervised by the army."
Fusu nodded.
When the important things were finished, the atmosphere in the room was relaxed.
When the other generals went down to announce the matter and summoned the soldiers to carry the money and grain, Meng Tian and Fusu came together.
Meng Tian said worriedly: "Childe, does the court really want to solve it?" ”
"There's no room for fakeness."
"The soldiers are very concerned about this, if they know that it is deceived by the imperial court, not only will the army feel uneasy, but the army may also break out in turmoil."
"The minister has to be cautious."
Regarding Meng Tian's worries, Fusu was also clear in his heart.
Over the years, the court has not dared to face this problem head-on, and has been trying to solve it in other ways, the most simple and crude of which is the migration of the population, but this has caused a lot of resentment in the army, but it can barely be stabilized.
If it is known that it has been deceived
Even if he didn't need to be reminded by Meng Tian, he knew that the wavering of the army's morale would be devastating.
Fusu's eyes were firm and said: "Although the general can rest assured, this is indeed the focus of the imperial court in the future, but you can also think that it is my Fusu's selfishness." ”
"Childe, what do you mean?" Meng Tian said in a condensed voice.
Fusu sighed lightly and said: "I took the initiative to mention the matter of merit, and there were few responders from the court, although I had the secret permission of my father, but the resistance of the court was very great, and even these money and food were disputed for several days before they were reluctantly decided, and it would take a long time to really get cashed." ”
Hear the words.
Meng Tian's face was a little solemn.
If it's really as Fusu said, isn't that fundamentally undecided?
If Fusu failed to convince the courtiers in the end, wouldn't it be untrustworthy?
Seeing that Meng Tian's face was ugly, Fusu roughly guessed Meng Tian's thoughts, a touch of coldness appeared on his face, and he said with a smile: "The general doesn't need to worry too much, since I Fusu dares to open this mouth, I have my own way to cash it out, but it still needs some time to promote." ”
"It's just that the general also knows that the imperial court can't give so many farmlands, so he can only make up for it from other aspects, and I have made detailed arrangements for these."
"I'm sure the soldiers will accept this reward!"
Hearing Fusu's words, Meng Tian frowned.
Most of the owe of the imperial court is mainly the field house under the military merit system, if there is really a way to make the soldiers give up the field house, the court may have done it a long time ago, how can it be the turn of Fusu?
Fusu obviously didn't have the idea of going into detail, and he didn't want to ask too much, so he just said: "Childe, the minister doesn't know much about the affairs of the court, but the affairs of the army, Childe must not be confused." ”
"Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked!"
Fu Su said in a deep voice: "Meng Tian, you and I have known each other for many years, and you still don't know my character?" How could I joke with the safety of my country? It's just some specific situations, and it's not easy to say to the outside world, and you can only say it when the time comes, otherwise you may be destroyed. ”
"At that time, I Fusu will really bear the infamy of being untrustworthy and going back on my word."
Looked at.
Meng Tian pondered for a moment and didn't ask any more questions.
He looked at Fusu deeply, looking back and forth, he didn't know much about the situation in the court for most of the past six months, but he had heard about it, and in addition, Meng Yi wrote him a letter some time ago, and he also had more or less understanding of Fusu's recent situation.
Now that I can see it in person, I am shocked by the changes in Fusu.
The current Fusu has lost its original childishness, is a little more mature and stable, and even compared with the passion and enthusiasm of the past, it has added a bit of coldness to the present.
Meng Tian said: "Childe is thoughtful. ”
It's twilight.
The Qin army camp was unprecedentedly excited and jubilant.
More than 100 cars of imperial wine brought by Fusu held a grand ceremony for the army.
Unprecedented.
Each hundred-man team was rewarded with a jar of wine.
In the history of the army rewards, the wine for the soldiers, are symbolic, the thousand people can get a jar of wine and water to drink, it is already very valuable, today to help the Soviet north, can make a hundred people and get an altar, its reward specifications have been far beyond the ordinary.
Night.
Reward Ceremony.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, each with a torch, lined up in the prairie like a starry sky.
Meng Tian on the cloud cart shouted to divide the wine, and in a moment, there were soldiers riding horses to pass the order of sharing wine to the ears of each hundred generals, and within a moment, the pottery bowl in front of each soldier had two or three full of real imperial wine.
For the soldiers, this is the highest honor.
Under the hunting torches, all the soldiers raised the clay bowls.
With Meng Tian's shouting again, this time there was no need for soldiers to even give orders, and the soldiers on the grassland all subconsciously raised their bowls and drank bitterly, and bursts of jubilation shook the entire Yinshan grassland in the backfield.
The sound of the Great Qin Ten Thousand Years filled the entire prairie.
The noise gradually subsided.
Fusu appeared on the high platform of the cloud car.
His figure was too small compared to the hundreds of thousands of troops in front of him.
He looked up, the crowd of black oppression, he couldn't see the end at a glance, this is the soldiers of Daqin, this is the Daqin Ruishi who is feared by the world as a tiger wolf.
Qin has a sharp soldier, who is competing?!
Fusu was also excited, he stood on the cloud car, and his voice came out high: "Soldiers, Fusu was ordered by His Majesty to go to the Northern Plains to reward the army, and the specifications of today's reward far exceed the previous war of annihilation." ”
"Why?"
"Only in one place!"
"Da Qin owes too much to his second and third sons!"
"In the past 20 years, the second and third sons have followed the Great Qin to conquer the south and the north, destroy the Six Kingdoms, pacify the internal strife in China, drive the Huns, pacify the external troubles in China, and protect the internal and external stability of the Great Qin, so that the world can be peaceful."
"It's all the credit of the second and third sons."
"But the court has done too little to you, not because you don't want to, but because there was really no way before, the world has accumulated a lot of evils, the new dynasty has just begun, there are too many things that need to be done, the court really can't draw extra money and food, and there is no way to cash in on your rewards so quickly."
"The world has been set for nearly ten years."
"The court has initially sorted out the world, and has accumulated some money and food a little, but it is unwilling and unwilling to continue to live up to the second and third sons, who have paid too much for Daqin."
"As the victors of the war in the world, not only did you not get any peace, but you followed the imperial decree without hesitation, went to various places, and left your homeland, without the posture of a winner at all, and all this is what Great Qin owes you."
"This time, I helped Su go north, just to inform the second and third sons."
"That's going to change."
"It's going to change, too!"
"There is not much that the imperial court can do at the moment, only to raise millions of gold and grain, which will be used to reward the soldiers who destroyed the country and expelled the Xiongnu that year, which is the reward you deserve as the victor."
"Take advantage of the mood."
"I don't want to talk about it anymore."
"The officers of the army obeyed the order and brought up the hundreds of carts of money and cloth."
"Tonight, distribute money cloth !!"
Fusu's voice echoed high above the cloud cart.
The prairie is lonely.
No sound came out for a long time.
After Fusu's words spread throughout the army with the sergeants, the entire Yinshan grassland instantly resounded like thunder.
"Great Qin Wannian!"
"The eldest son !! ten thousand years"
Thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound was like thunder, and it was endless for a long time.
In the more remote camps.
A few people sat on the ground, their eyes were in a trance, and they couldn't believe the herald's words, Yuan even let Yu Ke beat himself a few times, making sure it hurt, but in the end he didn't like it, but instead hugged his head and cried.
This cry is far from alone.
It's a lot, a lot.
The emotions they have suppressed in the army for a long time over the years finally couldn't hold back at this moment, and they cried directly.
They have suffered too much over the years.
Even they had already tacitly accepted that the court had given up, and now that they heard that the court had not given up on themselves, and that they were going to give them money cloth, all kinds of emotions in their hearts were mixed, and finally they were completely vented with their crying.
It's a cry with mixed emotions.
Mixed with excitement, grievances, imitations, excitement and so on.
In the end, these emotions turned into relieved smiles with crying.
After some emotional catharsis, Yuan was also completely excited, and he found a bamboo stick out of nowhere, and pulled out the weeds under him, revealing the bare earth.
He gestured on it and said excitedly: "I just calculated, in the past ten years, I have also gone through large and small battles, excluding the money and food given by the army before, I really calculated, the money and rewards I should get in the official mansion are at least three or four hundred dollars." ”
"The herald just now said that the eldest son brought millions of gold cloths."
"We have an army of 300,000, and it is about three gold for one person, just four or five hundred yuan, of course, some people have been in the army for a longer time and have made more contributions, so naturally they should get more, even if this is the case, I can at least get three hundred yuan."
"This is enough for my family to eat for half a year and half a year."
Speaking of which.
Yuan's face was also full of excitement.
He can't be unhappy.
That's more than 300 yuan, which can buy six or seven stones of millet.
If the money was sent to his home, the family's situation would be greatly improved, and if the court finally divided the land and mansion that he had received the title of hairpin, the life of his family would change dramatically.
How could he be displeased?
He is working hard outside, isn't he just for the better life of his family?
Last year, a letter from home, saying that it was almost impossible to open the pot, when there was still a period of time before the autumn harvest, and finally went to Lizheng's house to borrow half a stone of rice, which barely survived, but the half stone millet owed to Lizheng has not been repaid now, and so on to send the money back, not only can the owed millet be repaid, but also improve the situation at home.
Come to think of this.
Yuan's eyes turned red again.
Yu Ke patted Yuan on the shoulder, unable to say anything.
He knows the situation of Yuan's family, there is an elder brother in the family at the moment, but he was injured in the war and could not exert his strength, there are two women, three children, and two old people, but the old man has not been in good health over the years, and it has cost a lot of money and food to see a doctor, and the imperial court taxes have been levied every year, and the situation at home is getting worse and worse.
Life is hard.
His parents wanted to die many times.
As a result, he was rescued when he jumped into the river, and he suffered from tuberculosis and could not move easily.
When there was no one around, I cried because of this.
Yuan tilted his head to the side, not wanting Yu Ke to laugh at him.
Yi Ke said: "What did I say earlier, there will be changes in the army, you didn't believe it before, but now you can believe it, right?" The situation will only get better in the future, not for the worse. ”
"Even"
Yu Ke looked around, lowered his voice and said: "In the future, I am afraid that many people will not be able to come to serve in the border wasteland, and we are now one step ahead of many people." ”
Hearing Yu Ke's words, Yuan, who was still a little sad, suddenly looked over, he looked around vigilantly, asked several other people to sit inside, and said in a low voice: "Captain Wu, you tell us the truth, did you already know that the eldest prince would come?" It has long been clear that there is a situation in the border area? That's why you came in? ”
The others were staring at her with the same eyes.
Yu Ke shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "How can I have that ability, my title is inherited from my father, but it is a little higher than most of you, it is a hairpin, what is this title in the current army?" ”
"Grab a handful."
"But I do have some information that the outside world doesn't know."
"When I was serving in Xianyang, I was the attendant of a big man for a while, this big man is very powerful, and many decisions in the court actually have his figure."
"And he is very respected by the eldest son."
"This time we can share the money and reward, and it is also the advice of this big man, and I came to the army, I also listened to the advice of this big man, he told me that the army will change, and it will become an opportunity for us at the bottom to climb up in the future."
"But I don't know exactly what will happen."
"I'm not qualified to know."
"Now we all have knighthoods, and we are all still in the army, we should cherish it, I have a hunch that we will not stay in the army for too long, the elder will be a few years, the short will be a few months, some of us will leave the army, and leaving at that time may have a great impact on us in the future."
"The court began to pay attention to us."
"That must solve the merit reward of the military meritor."
"This may be our only chance to get ahead in the future."
Yi Ke looked around, and said with a solemn expression: "The army of the Northern Plains is 300,000, even if the imperial court is generous and gives us more opportunities, but the ones who can seize it are destined to be a few. ”
The sound pressure is very low.
But his expression was extremely resolute and determined.
Yuan and the others frowned.
It's not that they don't believe it, but it sounds a little incredible, and it is a very hard errand to fight on the border, and if it is not forcibly requisitioned, no one wants to come at all, how can it become a beautiful errand?
Furthermore.
Isn't the reward of the military merit system a field house?
How does this make them soar?
It's just that they have also been in contact with Mi Ke for a while, and they know that Mi Ke is a very pragmatic person, and he is basically not very good at big words, and the arrival of Fusu also verifies what Mi Ke said.
Maybe something will happen in the military that they can't predict in the future.
Enough to influence the future of many people.
Several people glanced at each other, and their eyes became determined.
It's just that they are still a little curious, how can they be promoted in the army?
Can't a few of them go to the plough court and sweep the holes, right?
I have this heart, but I don't have this courage.
Someone suddenly said: "I haven't memorized the ninety-nine tricks with the heavenly stems and the earthly branches, and during this period of rest, I memorized these things in the military camp, and I also practiced more words on the ground when I had time. ”
"Captain Wu has said so, brothers must seize the opportunity."
"No matter what, as long as you are better than everyone else, it will be better at that time."
Several others nodded their heads.
They have already thought in their hearts, how to make themselves brilliant, in addition to learning words and arithmetic, and in the spring shooting in the near future, thinking about it, they think that the easiest thing to do is to kill the Huns.
Several people glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths showed smiles, and they all tacitly knew this.
That's when it happened.
There was a herald to give orders.
Let them go to the knight's camp to receive the money.
A few people got up from the ground, patted the mud on their buttocks, and went to the camp with a smile, and within a quarter of an hour, the five people came back, and they all had a big bag of Qin Banliang in their hands.
The clanging rang all the way.
The money they received this time was almost full.
There was very little money to be received, only the money reward for participating in the destruction of Qi in the past, as for the others, he did not participate, a group of five people, and he received the least money reward.
But she was satisfied.
If you don't have it in the army, I'm afraid you won't be able to receive it.
This night in the army was happy, everyone was carrying money in their arms, jingling bells rang throughout the camp, and some veterans who received large money rewards were proudly showing off the glory and glory of the past.
The spirit of the army is determined!!
Starting two shifts tomorrow, I don't know how to write the plot in the army, and the thief is slow to write, less than a thousand words in an hour.
