Chapter 1399

If you change to another army, you won't choose to go out at this time. Doing so will hurt yourself too much. But for the five-star army, the influence is very general. Even after everyone is familiar with this way of marching and is used to this environment and weather, they have recovered in only two days. Although the military boots will splash mud stars on the road, they no longer hinder their forward speed.

Different from people at that time who liked to wear cloth shoes, those with better conditions wore leather boots, those with poor conditions wore straw sandals, and even the five-star Army soldiers had one yard long high waist leather boots, so that they could protect their feet to the greatest extent when marching, so that they would not be hurt when walking in the forest full of boulders.

Each soldier is equipped with a unified standard sleeping bag, kettle, washbasin, bedding, raincoat, cotton coat, etc. they will open it when they need it, and put it into a huge bag when they don't use it, and carry it on their back. In this way, there is no need to worry about cold weather and slippery roads, so that their speed of action is not affected by any weather.

The equipment of a single soldier alone cost about ten liang of silver. When multiplied by the number of nearly 100000 troops, it is also a huge sum of money.

At first, because this work required a lot of money, some people raised objections, but Yang Chendong said that the soldiers would bleed when they fought. Now they just pay more silver for their safety on the March. What else is not worth it? What can be compared with human life?

As soon as Yang Chendong's questioning voice came out, all the opposition voices disappeared. When the news came out, all the soldiers burst into tears. With such a commander, what complaints do they have and why they don't work hard?

As a result, the speed of the army has been accelerating, and it is getting closer and closer to the destination area, Daw city for short.

The initial goal of this expedition was two big cities. Yang Chendong adopted the policy of dividing the army into two ways. The northern city of ust zilima, referred to as US city, was led by Tian Hu, commander of the first cavalry army in the world, with 40000 cavalry and 300000 people with logistical support.

On the second road, led by Yang Chendong himself, there were more than 30000 cavalry soldiers who were separated by the commander of the new second army, plus 20000 new foreign Russian divisions (White Russian divisions). Similarly, the logistics support for the people is 300000.

The so-called foreign Russian division refers to the foreign army composed of Russians, just like Nikolai Fu, who was first met by Yang Chendong. They are the first civilian men who took refuge in the five-star army and were infected by what the other party did for them.

They have a common characteristic, young and strong. They used to be the guardians of small tribes. Now Yang Chendong has unified the Far East. Building cities, roads and reclaiming wasteland have brought different life changes to everyone, so that everyone can stop hiding like before, and finally come out openly to build their homes and live a safe and promising life. As these young guardians, they all joined the five-star army with the support of clan leaders and elders of all ethnic groups, in order to make a future for themselves and win glory for their tribe.

Almost everyone came with tribal expectations, which made them want to go to the battlefield and have better praise than anyone else. This is also the reason why Yang Chendong abandoned the gradually regular Far East army and temporarily established this alien division instead.

It is emphasized that the Far East army was left in the Far East. After nearly a year, Chen Bo finally returned to his original post and became the commander of the Far East army again. Keeping them at home plays a role in defending the five cities. At the same time, he can also supervise the foreign people under his rule not to make trouble and can work better. According to Yang Chendong's requirements, within 200 miles around each city, there must be a village with a scale of more than 1000 people. In his heart, it is impossible to revitalize the whole Far East by relying on only five cities. What cities play is to lead from point to area. Those villages are points, which should make the whole Far East rich and prosperous, You must have enough popularity.

In other words, the 20000 foreign Russian teachers performed very well all the way. They seemed to know their identity and were afraid that they would be looked down upon. They tried their best to show the best side all the time, so that the king of Wunan in the Ming Dynasty and the grassland Khan could have a look. Maybe they performed well and were liked at any moment, Then you will be at the peak of your life.

The result of good performance is that the speed of the army is faster and faster. It was originally scheduled to go for nearly two months. It was finished in a month, which is twice as fast. Time has also come to the end of April. The mountains are also covered with a layer of light green. Trees begin a new round of growth, and grass sprouts and stubbornly pulls out of the soil.

Dawu city.

The continuous warming of the weather makes the city exude a trace of vitality. The city gate opened and the market opened. Many businessmen entered the city, and many people began to barter here.

Ahuri claimed to be Zhongxing Khan, and Dawu city was the main force under his rule. With the city as the center, it can be regarded as his territory for 500 miles.

His men are in the great general xikai'er and have an enemy that can't be blocked by ten thousand men. Through this general, it took nearly ten years for ahuri to become the overlord of this side, with 20000 cavalry in his hands.

It's enough to make ahuli proud to have 20000 elite soldiers in Siberia, which is sparsely populated and has a bad climate. Therefore, in this place, he exists in heaven. What he said is the imperial edict, and no one dares to brush it.

Ahuli is also a different kind of Mongolian Khan. He is different from others. He only knows to kill and try to rob when there is nothing left. He attaches great importance to production and construction. For example, in Dawu city under his rule, the public security is very good. Not only the soldiers do not commit crimes against the people, but also the passing businessmen will be happy to release as long as they pay taxes according to the inside, which will ensure your personal safety in this place with a radius of 500.

Therefore, Dawu city is quite prosperous, and even many surrounding tribes choose to live in the city after understanding the situation. It also makes Dawu city one of the most prosperous cities nearby. Whenever ah Huli walked out of his residence and came to the street to see the lively scenery in the city, he would smile and feel very good.

"Great Khan, the city has such a face, all from your hands. You are worthy of being the son of heaven and love the people like a son. Let us learn and follow suit." seeing that ah Huli was in a good mood, general sikar quickly flattered and looked like worship.

"Hahaha." ah Huli, who was so flattered, also opened his mouth and laughed, and then said modestly: "this is not enough. Ben Khan was wondering if he could reduce some taxes to the people. They are really too bitter, alas."

When he heard that taxes would be reduced, sikher's face changed, and an invisible anger flashed in his eyes. If it had been in the past, he would have said something to stop it, although the tax in Dawu city was a little higher, reaching ten taxes and five taxes. But they have ensured the personal safety of the people, which can't be bought for much money in troubled times.

Speaking of it, this is not the first time a Huli has reduced taxes. It originally reached ten taxes and seven taxes. In the process of each reduction, sikal would have to oppose it, because if it went on like this, there would be less and less grain in the warehouse in the city. In case of war, wouldn't it be dangerous?

This time, siker did not make a sound to stop him, but after a little hesitation, he said: "this is the act of the Khan caring for the people, which is admirable."

"Hmm? Does the general not object?" he had already made the opposition, and then he would stop. In fact, this time, he didn't expect to pass the resolution at all. He was just trying. Later, he would continue to put forward it. Once he said it many times, sikar would not always oppose it. As long as he agreed once, the tax would naturally be reduced.

It was precisely because he was ready to fight a protracted war that sikar did not object, which made ahuri a little uncomfortable. Soon, after seeing that there was no objection, he immediately seized the opportunity and said, "even if the generals agree, the matter is settled. After a reduction of 10%, ten taxes and four taxes will be fine."

"Well, it's up to you to sweat." siker replied with a unchanged face.

The tax reduction was so simple that ah Huli was in a good mood, so he took a group of his own soldiers back to his residence. Siker also rode a horse back to his house. Shortly after he returned to his house, another military commander Buxi entered the study and saw general siker seated like a golden knife.

The two people sat opposite each other. After there was no third person in the study, Xikai Er opened his mouth, "brother Buxi, do you know? Big sweat has reduced taxes again."

"What?" Buxi, who was carrying the mare's milk wine and was about to pass it to his mouth, changed his face. Then he said excitedly, "do you want to lower it? There were few merchants in the city. We won't serve the land like the Han people. If we have to lower the tax now, what will our troops eat?"

No wonder Buxi is so excited. Don't look at the ten taxes and five taxes in Dawu city. It looks very high. But in fact, very few people can really pay taxes. For example, in ancient times, taxes were mainly collected for businessmen and farmers. When the Mongols were not good at farming, only businessmen paid taxes, but there were only a few businessmen in the city, all pointing to their inability to feed 30000 cavalry. Now we have to reduce taxes. Can't the soldiers patrol hungry?
