Duan Jiong, the lieutenant of Huqiang, has limited strength over Zhang Huan, and has [-] staff under his command.
The worst was Du Liao general Li Ying, who was in charge of the defense of Youzhou, with 500 people under his command.
There is no way, the Eastern Han Dynasty has been congenitally deficient since Liu Xiu founded the country, and most of the world's wealth is not controlled by the government but in the hands of the aristocratic family.The income of the imperial court is only about [-]% of that of the Western Han Dynasty.
Correspondingly, the number of regular troops that the imperial court can afford is very scarce.
This is how Ma Xian's majestic Qiang guard captain came into being, who only led [-] troops and [-] Qiang bandits to fight with their lives.No way, there were only so many regular troops under him at the time.
This is how Liu Yan's quota of 8000 people came into being today.
Of course, this also shows from another aspect that Liu Yan's current extremely high status.
He has become a military giant who can sit on an equal footing with Zhang Huan, Duan Jiong, and Li Ying!
In less than three months after joining the army, he has grown from an unknown soldier to a big man in the Han army. What does it mean to reach the sky in one step?This is called reaching the sky in one step!
……
"Eight thousand troops, General Zhengxi Zhonglang!"
Dong Zhuo was among the crowd watching.At this moment, it was as if thousands of ants were crawling and gnawing in his heart, which made him feel so painful!
This time, Dong Zhuo came to Luoyang with a large amount of belongings in order to attack Liu Yanfenghou.
8000 taels of gold, 6000 taels of silver, [-] BMWs, and [-] brocades... These properties are all Dong Zhuo's savings from his ten years in the army!
Unexpectedly, after throwing all these belongings away, this result would be returned in exchange!
Liu Yan, not only successfully became a Marquis, but also can sit on an equal footing with his immediate boss Zhang Huan!
Jumping up and down in Luoyang these days, I am simply a clown!
"I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled! I originally thought that Zhang Huan, Duan Jiong, and Li Ying were getting old. Ten years later, who is the hero of the Han Dynasty compared to me and Dong Zhuo?
Unexpectedly, Liu Yan appeared!He easily stepped on my head!I... I, Dong Zhuo, and him, Liu Yan, are irreconcilable! "
Dong Zhuo's heart was crying blood, and his eyes were full of hatred!
Chapter 41 The Champion's Reward, Marquis Gift Pack
Ten days later, Cao Jie, an official of Zhongchang, came to the camp of the Han army at the foot of Shegu Mountain and announced the imperial court's reward for the battle of Shegu Mountain.
"Han Shouting Hou! Han Shouting Hou!"
"My emperor is sage! Long live the Han Dynasty!"
"Mighty Marquis of Han Shouting, Lord of all generations!"
"The king is bright and the minister is virtuous, my great Han is prosperous!"
"With Han Shouting Hou Zhuyu in front, we are also expected to fight for success and become famous, and we will seal our wife and son, haha!"
……
The soldiers of the big man let out bursts of cheers, and the sound spread ten miles away!
Obviously, they are happier than the people of Luoyang, much happier!
The reason is very simple.
First, the Qiang rebellion came and went, and the people who suffered the most were not the people in Luoyang who had to bear heavy taxes, but the people in the border counties.
Not only do they have to bear heavy taxes and corvees, but they may also be harassed by the Qiang at any time, and their families will be destroyed!
More than anyone else, they look forward to the peace of the Qiang chaos.
They hope more than anyone else that the imperial court will reward and punish the soldiers who have made great contributions to Pingqiang.
Second, the power of role models.
Who is Liu Yan?In Jingyang City, an ordinary boy.In less than three months after joining the army, he made meritorious service and became a marquis, almost reaching the pinnacle of a warrior!
What about us?
Although we are not as powerful as Han Shouting, we are no worse than others.
This time, Liu Yan was not the only one awarded by the imperial court, all the meritorious officers and men were rewarded!
There are [-] ranks of great Hanjue, and this time there are as many as [-] people, big and small, who have been dubbed!
You know, there are only 2000 Jingyang soldiers in total!
This time, [-]% of the people were awarded the title!
They can do it, why can't I?
Next time we fight hard, let's fight for a wife!
Third, it is also the most affordable.
The imperial court decided to set up Jingyang Ying, with a staff of [-], led by Liu Yan, Marquis of Hanshouting.
What does this mean?
Everyone has been trained by the Jingyang Regiment and promoted to the official frontier army of the Han Dynasty!
Is that okay?
The big Han frontier army is famous for its small number of people and good treatment.
Even a small soldier in the frontier army can guarantee food and clothing for the whole family.This is the same as the days that everyone lived before, it is a heaven and an underground!
There are three reasons for this. How could two thousand Jingyang soldiers not be overjoyed, how could they not be dead set on Liu Yan, how could they not cheer from the bottom of their hearts?
……
In stark contrast to these elated soldiers, it was the Zhongchang servant Cao Jie.
He is a regular attendant of the Great Han Dynasty. In terms of rank, his rank is two thousand stones, and he is on the same level as Liu Yan, the general of Zhengxi Zhonglang.
In terms of the trust of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he is one of the best eunuchs in the palace, and his level of trust is by no means lower than that of Liu Yan.
Moreover, he is an imperial envoy sent by Emperor Liu Zhi, representing the emperor, and has a very high status.
However, it is these people who feel uneasy in their hearts at this time, and are extremely humble in front of Liu Yan.
Because he had just conveyed the emperor's true will to Liu Yan.
"The situation is like this. General Zhengxi, Marquis of Hanshouting, [-] bloody horses, [-] titles, [-] soldiers... whatever your Majesty can give you, I will give it to you.
Only this military expenditure... To tell you the truth, let alone 8000 people, even 1000 military expenses, His Majesty really can't afford it, you have to understand Your Majesty! "
Liu Yandao: "So, what does His Majesty mean... use 8000% of the profit from the glass business to offset the military expenses of these [-] people?"
"Your Majesty knows that this is indeed not enough. However, the imperial court really has no money! What Your Majesty means is that you first form an army of [-] troops to enter Xiliang Prefecture, and cooperate with Duan Jiong, the captain of the Qiang Guard, to completely flatten Xiliang Prefecture.
Then, together with Captain Duan and General Zhang Huan, they dealt with the Eastern Qiang.
After the Qiang Rebellion is completely put down, the imperial court will slowly pay back the military expenses owed to you.Moreover, after Ping Qiang, you will be promoted directly to the champion!You...you should be considerate and considerate of His Majesty! "
Having said that, fine cold sweat was already breaking out on Cao Jie's forehead.
I have finished all the benefits promised by His Majesty.
Then Han Shouting Hou, will he agree?
To be fair, the benefits His Majesty gave were generous enough.This is a champion. Ever since Huo Qubing received this title, he has become the highest dream of a martial artist, and it is almost impossible to meet.
However, having said that, the price of this benefit is the military expenses of [-] frontier soldiers!
The loss of horses, armor, and weapons, the pensions for the wounded and dead soldiers, and the huge logistics supporting the eight thousand soldiers will all be paid out of this military expenditure.
In the process of pacifying the chaos, the military expenditure of the [-] frontier soldiers is more than [-] million a year, or [-] million!
[-] million dollars!
Who knows how many more years this battle against chaos will last?How many [-] million dollars will it cost?
Is Liu Yan really willing to give up such heaven-defying property?
It doesn't matter if Liu Yan is reluctant, His Majesty's request is originally unreasonable, and His Majesty can't do anything to him,
However, what does His Majesty think of himself who has not completed the task?How will it be dealt with?
Eunuchs are different from civil servants and military generals, their own life and death, honor and disgrace, are at the whim of His Majesty!
The more Cao Jie thought about it, the more frightened he became. In an instant, a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead!
In fact, what he never dreamed of was that Liu Yan had nothing against the emperor's will.
if not?
Even if the emperor is killed, the emperor will not be able to change much military expenditure.
If the emperor only used 2000% of the profit from buying and selling glass to offset the military expenses of [-] people, would he be able to become a general of Zhengxizhong?
Can he ascend to the sky in one step and be on an equal footing with Zhang Huan, Duan Jiong and other military leaders?
Moreover, this money is actually not difficult for me.
On the one hand, the profit from glass trading is enough to cover the military expenditure.
On the other hand, he had captured a large number of Huotan Qiang and Pingqi Dong Qiang by himself, and there was no problem in maintaining the military expenditure of the [-] frontier troops for a year.
As for, one year from now...
With the big gift package system, if I can't completely wipe out the Qiang chaos within a year, I might as well just find a piece of tofu and kill me!
And the most important thing is that an army that takes the imperial salary and an army that takes its own money are completely different things!In this way, the eight thousand soldiers in the entire Jingyang camp can be regarded as his own strength!
Strength is the real foundation of troubled times!
and so--
Suddenly, Liu Yan smiled and said: "Please, Eunuch Cao, tell Your Majesty a word."
"What?"
"I don't want to be a Marquis, I only wish for peace in the world!"
"I don't want to be a Marquis, but I only wish for peace in the world?"
Hearing this, Cao Jie heaved a sigh of relief, his eyes were shining brightly, and said: "Okay! I don't want to be a Marquis, but I only wish the world to be peaceful! So, Hanshou Tinghou agreed to His Majesty's conditions? "
"exactly."
"Alright, alright, the Marquis of Han Shouting is a true hero with such a big heart! Someone Cao admires him, and His Majesty must also appreciate it very much. I will return to Luoyang and report this matter to Your Majesty."
……
Chapter 42
Ding dong!Congratulations to the host, open the Hanshou Pavilion Hou Achievement Pack, and get [-] Beiwei soldiers! "
As soon as the system sound fell, Sanqian, dressed in black armor, with a bow and arrow on his back, and a phantom figure with long and short blades on his waist, flashed in front of Liu Yan.
Although it was just a phantom, there was an aura of iron blood, toughness, high spirits, loyalty and fearlessness coming towards him.
Even people with no military knowledge can feel the earth-shattering power contained in this army, which dares to change the sun and the moon into a new sky.
"Zhang Xian brought three thousand soldiers of the Beiwei Army to see the lord! I am willing to die for my lord! I am willing to join my lord in a bloody battle against the barbarians and protect China!"
Is this the elite Beiwei Army of the Yue Family Army...
In an instant, Liu Yan's heart was filled with a huge surprise!
The Yue family army was the existence that supported the backbone of the entire Southern Song Dynasty.
And the Beiwei Army is the elite of the elite Yue Family Army.
In the battle of Yancheng, the Beiwei army first used infantry to defeat the elite "kidnappers" of the Jin army, and then rushed to the enemy with very few elite cavalry, defeating more than 12 Wushu elite soldiers!
In Zhuxian Town, Yue Wumu defeated more than [-] Jin troops with [-] elite soldiers, and won the famous Zhuxian Town victory in history. The Jin people sighed and said: It is easy to shake the mountain, but it is difficult for the Yue family's army!
But now, such an invincible elite has fallen into his own hands!
Liu Yan was really excited.
Of course, it must be explained that what Liu Yan valued was not only the strength of the Beiwei army, but even the primary value was not the combat power of the Beiwei army, but their military discipline.
"Don't demolish houses to death from freezing, don't plunder to death from starvation"!
In the long feudal society, which army in China could do it?Standing tall for two thousand years, there is only the Yue Family Army!
