Chapter 570

"What?"

As soon as Lu Que's voice fell, Shen Zhang's eyes flashed such a look, while Du Zhong and Xing Gongtai looked at each other, their faces changed greatly.

Daqian established his country by military. The military was very well paid. Different from the Dali and Daxuan dynasties, it was a great crime for Daqian to embezzle military salaries and seize military merit. Therefore, as long as he performed meritorious service, he could be rewarded. Just like the war of destroying the heavenly star and the war of animal tide just ended, all the meritorious people who participated in the war would be rewarded very well, even the ordinary soldiers, It's enough for ordinary families to have enough food and clothing for more than ten years, and the families of the soldiers who died in the war will be directly supported by the state. If their children are too young to cultivate the land, the local counties will send people to help them till the men of the family come of age.

There is no doubt that war is terrible. It will make countless families face the risk of losing their families. However, Daqian never worries about the soldiers. Of course, this is because Daqian has the most powerful population in the world. But more importantly, Daqian will solve the worries of all the soldiers, that is, the military pay enough for the families of five, the bountiful reward for military achievements and the generous pension for their death, Let many of the children of ordinary people who can't study hard to enter the army and die for the country.

Now the emperor ordered commander Lu que to continue to attack Nanli. It is obvious that the emperor wanted to wait until Nanli was wiped out to win the reward for the battle of Tianxing and the battle of beast tide. It can be predicted that it will be the largest reward in the history of Daqian. As long as Nanli perishes, there will be an overwhelming rain of promotion for all the legions in southern Xinjiang.

At present, 50000 Huxiao troops are stationed in Ning'an County, 50000 Fengfeng troops are retreating to the front line of Xiaogushan, together with nearly 100000 troops of xiyuanze Legion who have gone south and more than 400000 troops on both sides of Danshui, the total is 600000 troops.

Leiying legion, one of the three legions of Nanli, had disappeared a year ago, and the remaining two legions were only two or three hundred thousand. Even though many strong men were recruited into the army in this year, the territory of Nanli south of Ning'an River also needed troops to garrison. It's impossible that Daqian had not been defeated. The local clans were suppressed by Nanli reform, There will be a rebellion.

In this way, the maximum number of troops that Nanli can mobilize is only about 200000, 600000 to 200000, and the leader is Lu que, a new generation of famous commander who destroyed Tianxing and the tide of beasts. People with clear eyes can see that the battle of Nanli is not as easy as the battle of Tianxing, but the final victory will be Daqian. At this time, all the troops are waiting for the final battle that will determine the fate of Southern Xinjiang. Lu que actually said that the battalions with heavy casualties in the battle of animal tide will be garrisoned in Danshui under the leadership of Zhongyang king. This arrangement is tantamount to directly depriving these battalions of their subsequent achievements.

"Think twice, Lu Shuai." Xing Gongtai arched his hand and said, "because each battalion has made great achievements in the battle of the tide of beasts, it will cause great damage. Every battalion is a camp of great achievements, and every general is a general of great achievements. This arrangement is too unfair to them, and it will cold the soldiers' heart of serving the country."

Lu Chun, the father of Xing Gongtai and Lu que, is of the same generation, but it took him 20 years to become deputy commander of Huxiao army. He is very clear about how eager military generals at all levels are for war achievements, especially the camp generals who are the backbone of Daqian's army. As long as they go further, they can become high-ranking generals, and thus obtain the qualification of being a wife and son or even a marquis. These people are more eager for war achievements than anyone else. Lu Que's decision to leave these damaged battalions in Danshui is undoubtedly a denial of the hope that these people will continue to make contributions.

Without waiting for Lu que to speak, Gu Qingcheng said with displeasure, "Marshal Xing, what are these words? Which of the twelve battalions of the Da Qian army has a long history, and which is not the Da Gong camp. Next, we are going to destroy Nanli, which has been established for more than 800 years. We are not going to visit mountains and rivers. Many of those battalions with heavy casualties do not even have half of the original troops, or even the generals and captains at all levels, so they are unable to maintain their original combat power. Is it because they have made great achievements in fighting with the tide of beasts under zhennanguan that they have to take them south at risk, Give them a victory in conquering Nanli? "

"Gu Shuai is poor. If he can become an elite in the army, he will be a warrior with one to ten. Even if the number is less than half of the original establishment, he will not be a drag. After all, elite is elite." Said Eucommia.

Gu Qingcheng hears speech to want to continue to refute, but see Lu lack to swing a hand.

"Your Majesty, under my axe and axe, is specially responsible for the expedition, and under my military commander's seal, controls the military and political affairs in southern Xinjiang. I am responsible for all affairs in southern Xinjiang." Lu que took a look at the wooden box on the table, where the handsome seal was placed, and continued, "these battalions under Zhennan pass have been regardless of life and death for the sake of victory, which I remember in my heart. For their own tradition and glory, these battalions are not willing to be temporarily organized into other battalions, which can be understood by Ben Shuai. But please understand that your majesty will naturally reward you for your meritorious service and will not treat any meritorious officers and soldiers badly. However, the glory of past meritorious service can not be the capital of their disobedience. "

"Lu Shuai ~" Du Zhong and Xing Gongtai immediately got up to explain, but Lu que waved to them.

"When your majesty made me commander-in-chief of Southern Xinjiang, I was worried that my age would not be trusted by the armies. However, in the battle of beast tide, all the armies and battalions obeyed my orders, which made me very grateful. The battle of animal tide is not the result of the commander-in-chief, but the result of the concerted efforts of various armies. " With a little smile, Lu que continued, "I used to be a person who likes to think more. Recently, the events of each camp have made me think that if the person sitting in this position is not me, but my father, mother, or Bai Shuai of Wu'an Hou, such things will not happen."

Lu Que's words made everyone in the tent feel a slight shock. Even Yu Yuanpu and Lei Zhang, who had nothing to do with it, felt a slight tremor in their hearts. Shen Zhang, Du Zhong and Xing Gongtai were sweating.

Lu's words are very serious. Lu wants to temporarily reorganize the army for the next battle of the southern Li, but before the order is given, he is heard about it and feels that the battle battalion that may be dismantled and supplemented will boycott it. You should know that according to the Daqian military law, it is a capital crime to disobey orders in battle. At this time of war, Lu que, who has the right to make decisions, has the right to bring these disobedient people down to the abyss. So it seems that Lu que did not deal with them, but just left them in Danshui to ensure the safety of the front-line supply line, which has been dealt with lightly.

Lu que glanced at the expressions of the people in the account and continued, "the commander-in-chief's military order has not been issued before. The commander-in-chief can be regarded as not having happened before. But since he is the commander-in-chief in southern Xinjiang, the army in southern Xinjiang will mainly take the commander-in-chief's military order. This is settled. If someone has any different opinions, let him talk to him directly."

Yu Yuanpu took a look at several military commanders from the corner of his eye and said, "commander Lu, as the commander in chief of Southern Xinjiang, you need to plan the war in Nanli and command the army. How can you spend your energy on these trivial matters. Let's leave this matter to my king. I am the Prime Minister of the military government. I am in charge of Daqian's military affairs and laws. Anyone who violates the law is within my duty. It seems that some people have forgotten that military power is like prison and military law is like furnace. "

"In the ancient sages' military treatises, there are many generals' opinions, which are roughly divided into four categories: wisdom, courage, greed and stupidity; The brave are good at their ambition; The greedy are invited to pursue their interests; A fool does not care about his death. Before, I thought that the words of sages were not applicable to today, because most of the Fengxiang army and Changqing army I met were loyal soldiers and upright generals. But these days, I know that sages are sages after all, and what they say is still applicable to today's Daqian. "

Gu Qingcheng said that there was a glimmer of cold light in his eyes and continued, "in fact, I'm very curious. Before the military order was issued, some battalions secretly contacted and agitated. If Lu Shuai forced the military order to reorganize the armies in wartime, what would these battalions do? Will it create a general situation and raise troops to resist orders? "

"Gu Shuai is serious." After hearing Gu Qingcheng's words, Shen Zhang couldn't sit still any longer. According to the Da Qian military system, during the war, the commander-in-chief made the overall decision for "lack of children, are you really not going to take these battalions south?" Looking at the death statistics of the battalions on the table and the names of more than a dozen battalions in the forefront, Yu Yuanpu frowned. He has been the Prime Minister of the great army for more than ten years. How can he not know that these battalions are the elite of the major legions in southern Xinjiang? It can be said that the three legions of benlei, Huxiao and kuaifeng are famous, A considerable part of these battalions have been accumulated with victory after victory.

"My brother-in-law, it's not a bad thing that more than a dozen battalions secretly resist the temporary deployment to other battalions. I know that these battalions are all elite troops, but it is precisely because of this that we have to leave seeds for these battalions to be rebuilt. If the soldiers of these battalions are divided into other battalions as I arranged before, let alone whether their spirit will be frustrated. If all the survivors of these elite battalions are killed in the battle of Nanli, even if they are rebuilt in the future, they will not have today's spirit, they are just different battalions with the same battalion number. "

Yu Yuanpu nodded and said, "you're right. The most important honor and inheritance in the army. My brother-in-law, I was also raised from an uncle, one level at a time. To tell you the truth, when I was a general of the battalion 20 years ago, the commander suffered heavy casualties because of our great achievements. In order to maintain the overall combat power of the army, I had to temporarily organize my battalions to other battalions, I don't do it, either

"It's true that I neglected the feelings of the soldiers. I don't blame them." Lu que also nodded. During the two wars of Danshui and hexingyuan, he only led 3000 troops, but after all, the time was too short. Although he is now a commander-in-chief of Xinjiang, it has taken him more than ten or twenty years to be promoted to a higher level, which is quite different from other generals. For what happened recently, Lu Kuo felt that he was thoughtless and didn't mean to blame the next generals.
