Chapter 15: The Messenger Comes from the West

At the same time that Jia Hui crossed the snow-capped mountains, the messengers of the Anxi army also crossed the vast grassland and entered Datong Mansion.

Jiang Sheng, the general soldier of Datong, received the messenger with a surprised face, and because he didn't see the sign of 100,000 urgency, Jiang Sheng stayed with him for the night, had a drink with him, and learned about the current situation of Anxi.

When he heard that even Timur's Huntaiji was killed by Jia Hui's arrow, Jiang Sheng's face also showed an excited smile.

My eldest nephew is really capable.

When he was a child, he was also a partner who played with Jia Yu.

The messenger didn't say anything about Jia Hui's surprise attack plan, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

Early the next morning, the messenger stuffed something into his stomach and prepared to go on his way.

Jiang Sheng also got up early, led a good horse and waited for the messenger at the gate of the General Soldier's Mansion, and then led the horse all the way towards the east city gate.

It didn't take long to arrive, and the two stood at the gate of the city, and the messenger thanked Jiang Sheng again and again.

Wang Ziteng tried his best to shrink back in the crowd, and scolded Jiang Sheng in his heart for how he personally led the horse to deliver the messenger!

It must have been because he was on duty today, and he rushed over to get Lao Tzu.

Since he was demoted to the gate, even if he was looking at the south gate, Jiang Sheng would come back from the north on a business trip, and he would detour through the whole city and come in from the south gate, in order to reprimand him.

But he had nothing to say, firstly, Jiang Sheng was his top boss, and secondly, he really ruined Jiang Sheng's plan, and he did it all by himself.

I have long heard that Jiang Sheng is small-minded, but who knew that it could be so small!

Don't see me, Prince Teng prayed to himself.

But he still didn't escape.

The messenger rode off his horse, and Jiang Sheng took a long breath and turned his head sharply.

Wang Ziteng saw Jiang Sheng look at him violently, and rushed in front of him with a loud shout, kicked him in the stomach, and rolled Wang Ziteng on the ground twice.

I'm glad I'm wearing armor.

"To be a soldier is to have the appearance of being a soldier, look at your cowering and cowardly appearance, what kind of system you have become! Someone, twenty rods! ”

Not again.

Wang Ziteng closed his eyes in resignation.

Twenty canes is not much, but it can just beat yourself until the pain is unbearable and swollen, but you will not be injured, and you can go to the ground after a few days of cultivation.

But I can't stand beating myself every once in a while.

It's just that Jiang Sheng is worthy of his royal family. The Jia Shi family can only focus on appeasement.

Jiang Sheng is the head of the military generals of the Three Jin Sect.

Wang Ziteng could only smash his teeth and swallow in his stomach.

When is this day a head!

。。。。。。

The Anxi army finally reconnected with the imperial court.

West Garden.

It's still the emperor and the emperor.

Listening to the messenger's report, the two couldn't help but be shocked by Jia Hui's boldness.

"Got it, Dai Quan, take this warrior to a good meal." The Emperor spoke.

"Yes." Dai Quan comprehended, waved his hand, and the maids of the Zhongguan Palace who were standing also withdrew from the room, and Dai Quan grabbed a small Zhongguan and asked him to take the messenger to dinner.

When the last little palace maid walked out of the door, Dai Quan hurriedly closed the door and stood in front of the porch waiting to be summoned at any time.

"This grandson of Jia Daishan is really bold, I calculated, at least 7,000 miles to run, and only 8,000 people with him, this is to send him to death, right?"

"Bastard, Jia Daishan is also what you can call? Lao Tzu grew up with him bare-chested, and the time spent with him was longer than the time with your wife! ”

The emperor hurriedly changed his name to Rong Guogong.

The emperor snorted coldly and said that he would let you go first.

"I didn't expect Xiao Hui'er to have such courage, and when Heshuo Te came out of the nest, she hit Luo Zhi directly, and the future life is terrifying." The emperor remembered the little boy who followed Jia Daishan, and now he was also a man who stood up to the sky.

"Father, aren't you worried that Jia Hui will fail?" The emperor was not optimistic about Jia Hui's actions.

"It doesn't matter, it's already been done anyway, according to the time, Jia Hui's department is already on the plateau," the emperor pondered for a moment.

"What's more, what if it fails, anyway, there is no one on the plateau now, but if it is discovered, Lazang Khan will definitely transfer back the army to intercept Jia Hui's troops as soon as possible, so that the situation in the northwest and southwest will be much easier.

There is a high probability that the army will be transferred back to the southwest, the battle situation in the northwest is stalemate, but any change will lead to defeat, the southwest side is better, and Heshute has the advantage, and it will not affect if you fall back. Therefore, no matter whether Jia Hui succeeds or fails, he has great merit. ”

The emperor is very optimistic about Jia Hui, he ascended five times first, chiseled the formation fourteen times, this kind of peerless fierce general actually appeared in his own hands, and he is still the grandson of his old brother Jia Daishan, a natural person.

Glancing at the emperor, thinking that Jia Hui was about to become his son's power, the more he looked at the emperor, the more unpleasant he became.

"What's more, if it does, it will really catch Razang Khan, even if it kills him.

The current Heshute is completely forced by Razang Khan himself to not split, his biological mother is a Tubo, and he is naturally close to the remnants of Tubo.

When he first ascended the throne, in order to balance the military leaders of the Heshute headquarters, he promoted his mother clan greatly, and relied on the Tibetan army to defeat the younger brother supported by the Heshuot military leader in the civil war. took the opportunity to establish a cowardly army that only belonged to him, 8,000 people. ”

The emperor thought for a moment, after all, this was more than ten years ago.

After the war, he promoted several of his cronies to become new generals, leading the Heshute army and the Tubo people to check and balance, the Tubo weakly supported the Tubo, and the Heshuote weakly supported Heshuote, and his position became more and more stable.

It's not that no one wants to kill him and set up another Khan king, Kelazang Khan is righteous, and once the army in his hands falls into the hands of the other side, he will immediately defeat the traitor overwhelmingly. ”

After that, the emperor smiled disdainfully.

But now it's time for him to reap the consequences, he is old, and the cowardice in his hand is not enough to act as a bargaining chip. His two Taiji were also brought to the front of the stage by the mother clan, and now Heshute is a powder keg, just waiting for Lazang Khan to die, this Martian son.

As soon as he dies, even if it is suspected of death, the contradictions that have accumulated for decades between Heshuote and the Tubo people will inevitably break out with the struggle for the throne, and one of the two ethnic groups will die. ”

The emperor also figured it out.

"At that time, the people of the two sides will definitely sue for peace with our DPRK, and send the army back to the plateau to fight, and the crisis of our DPRK will naturally be solved." The emperor spoke out about the development of the subsequent vision.

The Emperor nodded.

"It's not stupid, but it's not enough, what if you wait for the plateau to decide the winner? Will the new successor be on the side again? ”

The Emperor put down the jade in his hand and stared into the Emperor's eyes.

"The covenant is something that is used to tear up, and I want to solve the plateau once and for all!"

The emperor was shocked.

"But, won't this affect the image of Daqi in various states?"

"Stupid, as long as I keep being strong, who dares to make a mistake!"

The Emperor slammed the table, and the Emperor, who was thinking in fright, almost rushed to the door.

Seeing that his father was just emotional, he slapped the table for the occasion, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

When I was a child, every time my father slapped the table, one of their brothers would be beaten.

"Then if Jia Hui is done, how will he be rewarded at that time? Could it be true to give him a national duke? The Emperor questioned.

That's a problem, too.

"In this way, according to the previous county marquis, another knight, county marquis." Still too young, the emperor sighed in his heart.

"The title will be here first, but the title and title can be higher."

The Qi Dynasty has its own national conditions here.

In order to avoid corruption in the future, Taizu decided to pay a high salary and raise a clean salary, and the civil officials did not mention it for the time being.

The rank of a military commander consists of military ranks, titles, titles, and titles.

The military position is the one's own position, such as the governor of the capital, the chief military officer, the staff general, the guerrilla general, etc. It is the job of a military general.

The title is better understood, and the sixth-class title of this dynasty will also have a matching title.

The title was changed by Taizu with reference to the low-level titles of the previous dynasty, and it was linked to several turns of military merits. For example, the fourth turn and below are the cavalry captains, and the fifth to the eighth turns are the captains, and the prefix is high and low.

Nine turns to general, with Zhao X as the prefix.

Ten turns to general, and the prefix is to levy X or ask X.

Eleven became a general, and the emperor personally gave the title.

There are three ways to obtain military merits.

If the command is determined, the field battle will win at least six times with fewer strikes and more victories, and he will be the general of Yunlu.

Climb the city first, win at least five times with fewer hits, and be the champion general.

The cavalry charged into battle, won at least ten times with fewer strikes and more victories, and was a hussar general.

In the end, the twelve military merits were won three times in a row, at least in line with the above two, which is the apex of the title, the great Sima general, and the title of secretary of the leading army.

and the rarest title, which is basically awarded to a retired general or above, or a military general who has the merit of destroying the country, for the X-pillar country.

For example, Lu Guan, the prince of Chengguo, who presided over the expedition to the west, was ready to be awarded the title of "Shangzhu State".

If Jia Hui can do Lazang Khan this time and split Heshuote, it can barely be regarded as a contribution to destroying the country, and he can also be awarded the title of Zhuguo.

The emperor decided to give a pillar country as long as he succeeded, and for Jia Hui, who already had two twelve turns, it was not impossible to earn another twelve turns on the plateau. In order to envelop this peerless fierce man, a little opposition is not a problem.

Military positions and knighthoods are conferred with great caution, the former is related to the safety of a place, and the latter is what everyone dreams of.

The title can be passed down from family to family, although it will be downgraded every year, but it can be passed on for at least four generations, and then it has nothing to do with you.

In order to prevent the nobles from losing their blood, Taizu canceled the hereditary replacement, and most of the founding nobles also acquiesced.

Titles and titles will not be hereditary, in the final analysis, they are given personal glory and honor, as long as you have military merits, you can get them, for the vast majority of soldiers, positions and titles are too far away, and the title is the most important.

It's about whether you eat or drink porridge in the future.

The emperor's reward for Jia Hui also has a draft.

Zuo Zhuguo, the title of Shangshu of the Leading Army, Zishan Doctor, General Sima, Dunhuang County Marquis, Jia Hui.

Dr. Zishan is a civil officer with the second rank of the military department.

If he lost, he removed the Zuozhu State, and the rank of the secretary of the military department of the Great General Sima was also demoted to the rank of Hussar General.

All the positions add up, there is an income of about 100,000 taels per year, plus various subsidies, an income of almost 150,000 taels per year.

Although there is a lot of income, after all, there are not many in the country, and it can be said that there are fewer and fewer titles as the titles continue to decline.

Occasionally, a 150,000 taels like Jia Hui will not suffer, and it will not be a problem to use money to envelop this kind of existence, and it will not be a problem to double it.

Totaling the annual expenditure of civil and military officials, it is almost eight or nine million taels, plus military spending, thirty or forty million taels is gone, but the imperial court also earns a lot, including sea trade, and the annual income is about 90 million to 100 million taels of silver (the total income, silver accounts for a small proportion, and most of them are physical objects such as salt, iron and cloth).

Compared with the military generals of the former dynasty Dayu, who ate empty salaries, drank the blood of soldiers and raised the self-weight of the Kou, the annual expenditure of raising the self-weight of the Kou alone added up to no less than 10 million taels, and the entire country's expenditure on military affairs alone was no less than 30 million taels, not to mention that the Yu Dynasty could not collect his taxes. In the end, he got rid of it, causing the Muguls to enter the customs and occupy the entire North China.

There are also redundant soldiers and redundant generals in Da Liang, in order to win people's hearts and prevent them from running to the opposite side, Da Liang spent money to support people, and all this money came from the people, which eventually led to the establishment of Daqi.

From this point of view, Daqi's high salary and incorruptibility are simply cheap compared with the top two.

This policy was called one of his crowning masterpieces by Taizu.

As for Jia Hui's military position, let's talk about it after I come back.
