Quan Yutianxia GL

Feng Jiuqing was sitting on the hill behind the camp, looking towards the direction of Chang'an City, eating the cherries expressionlessly, as if she had a bitter enmity with the cherries, and at the end of the meal, she looked very dignified. It's hideous.

After eating the cherries, she took out another letter from her sleeve pocket. This letter came from Chang'an City. She had read it countless times, but there were only two words on it—wait for me!

There is no opening speech, and no ending signature, only two words of cursive strokes.

wait for me!

But she knew where this letter came from. Perhaps, this person had already arrived in the west of Liaoning. After all, the road from Chang'an to the west of Liaoning had always been smooth.

It's just...just, why should I wait for you?

How long can I wait for you?

What kind of ending can I wait for?

Feng Jiuqing tried her best to raise a smile, but the smile was desolate and desolate.

Liang Qiuyue came to call her, saying that the military meeting was about to start, and Chuning was looking for her.

Putting the letter back into her sleeve pocket, Feng Jiuqing went back to the camp and prepared paper and pens, and saw Chu Ning and Xiao Hongfei bringing in a group of generals one after another.

It is said to be a military discussion, but in fact, it was nicknamed "Qianjintang" by the generals of the army, which was taken from the meaning of a word.

The cause of this matter was that five days ago, after the Weimin army captured more than a hundred Xianbei raiders again, General Xiao Hongfei suggested that Chuning train a new army.

The number of generals at all levels of the Daqing court was not fixed. Of course, Chu Ning would not refuse such a good thing. On the same day, he picked 5000 people from the defeated army and refugees under Xiao Hongfei's command to form a new army. Zhaoyi Army.

Because of the construction of the Weimin Army as a reference, the formation of the Zhaoyi Army was very fast, which almost shocked the eyes of Xiao Hongfei and others.

After Chu Ning selected enough people that day, he dispatched two banner personnel from the Guard Bureau to serve as generals at all levels, and selected some of the original generals to continue to serve, and then recruited from the Xuanjia Division and the Control Xiansi chooses the best to supplement the guards, and then uses auxiliary soldiers to make up for the lack of guards.

All these piles were placed on other generals, and it took three to five or seven days, and it was impossible to sort out the clues, but when it came to Chu Zhaoyi, the expansion and reorganization of the army was completed in just one day.

The new Zhaoyi Army is preliminarily set up as a fourteenth division-level combat organization, and the duties of all generals from top to bottom are set as 'inspectors', which means acting.Usually the round is used as the training unit, but every three days for the small competition, the elimination system will be implemented with the flag as the unit.

The Zhaoyi Army had just completed three days of training the day before yesterday, and yesterday they had a small competition for the whole army.In fact, it is not appropriate to say that it is a small competition, because General Chu did not let them fight martial arts at all, but arranged each flag in a square formation of six people, one flag after another, walked from the left side of the school field to On the right side, of course, on the way, you still need to follow the command of the supervisory officer, sometimes stepping, sometimes standing at attention, and sometimes turning forward, backward, left and right.

At that time, Xiao Hongfei was watching from the general platform, and he was quite satisfied to see the Zhaoyi army who had a little bit of discipline, but he didn't expect that after watching it, Chu Ning, with a little effort, directly eliminated the six flags.

The eliminated Zhaoyi Army was all incorporated into the auxiliary soldiers, and according to the military system of the Daqing court, the auxiliary soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers only had a monthly salary of [-] qian, while the soldiers received [-] qian.

The difference between two hundred coins is not much, but it is also quite a lot, and this difference is not only a difference in salary, but also a difference in status.

The Zhaoyi Army is the same as the Weimin Army. Soldiers only have three things to do: training, guarding, and fighting.As for auxiliary soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers, they usually not only have to complete some physical and tactical training, but also do various chores, and when necessary, they will also participate in battles.

Therefore, Chu Ning's actions have sounded the alarm for many officers and soldiers who are eating and drinking. What's more, what is even more annoying is that General Chu actually fulfilled what he said before in public—one small competition every time , every time they are eliminated, the remaining soldiers will be rewarded with ten coins!

After Xiaobi yesterday, Chuning had people carry baskets of copper coins and distribute them in public. This action shocked the generals again—before this, no one except the Weimin Army What Chuning said was serious, including Xiao Hongfei!

Every three days, there is one elimination, that is to say, ten times a month!Every soldier who stays will be paid an extra [-] Wen every month!

Even if every Zhaoyi army was finally eliminated to only 3000 people, Chuning would have to pay hundreds of thousands of money out of his own pocket every month.

A few hundred pennies is not much, but it is also a lot. Few generals are willing to pay out every month. They would even rather use it to buy visible weapons and equipment than send them to those who may betray or flee at any time. Soldiers and refugees.

Therefore, last night, Xiao Hongfei couldn't stand the arguments of the generals under his command, so he came to talk to Chuning, because Chuning's behavior of throwing money like this broke the rules and would affect the thinking and morale of their soldiers.

Xiao Hongfei was different from Gao Zhimin. This person acted quite generously. Even if he talked to Chu Ning, he would bring his subordinates and allow him to participate in the discussion with them.

Yes, it was a discussion, not an order, so Xiao Hongfei's move also gained a lot of favor from Chuning.

On Xiao Hongfei's side there were more than ten generals and officers, and Chuning's side was only able to take advantage of herself, Feng Jiuqing, Liu Changgui and Sun Xing. Later, Chen Fu was forced to come over to make up the number, but basically, Only Chu Ning and Feng Jiuqing were talking.

Sun Xing didn't speak because he knew he was stupid, Liu Changgui didn't speak because he knew his own rights and responsibilities, and Chen Fu hadn't been alone yet, so he didn't know what to say in this situation.

At that time, as soon as the two sides entered the account, they were fighting each other. Xiao Hongfei insisted that Chu Ning broke the rules and affected the mentality and morale of the soldiers, but Chu Ning settled the account with them, and everyone was speechless in the end. It is even jokingly said that General Chu's words at that time were worth a thousand dollars.

Today Xiao Hongfei deliberately asked someone to vacate a large tent, and brought all the generals above his brigade commander over here, intending to let them learn from General Chu's accounting method.

Chu Ning also called over his generals at the division level, including the [-] chief inspectors newly established by the Zhaoyi Army.

Two days ago, Feng Jiuqing accepted the position of Director-General of the Department of Foreign Affairs appointed by Chu Ning, but now his staff is not ready, so she acts as Chu Ding's secretary to record and draft some documents for her. After all, General Chu's handwriting is really Hard to meet people.

Everything was ready, and after the two sides greeted each other, Chuning took the cup and walked to the waist-high table that was hurriedly made in front of him. After saluting, he said, "Last time, I had a brief chat with the generals. What is an army?" , What is war, and today, I would like to talk to you generals about what is the purpose of war. General Xiao, may I ask, what do you think is the purpose of war?"

Xiao Hongfei thought for a while, and said solemnly: "According to this general, war is nothing more than defending one's family and country, opening up territories."

This answer was very conservative and pertinent, but it also hit the point. Chuning nodded and asked Deng Tong with a smile: "Deng Renyong, tell me, what is the purpose of the war between Xianbei and Daqing this time?"

"Of course it is to rob food and property." Deng Tong's eyes rose with hatred: "I robbed the people of Daqing!"

Chu Ning nodded again, and took a look at Feng Jiuqing. Feng Jiuqing brushed up a few strokes, then wrote a piece of writing and handed it to Chuning.

After hanging the words, everyone saw that there were eight words written on it-grain, land, property, and population.

"To put it in complicated terms, war is actually just a means to achieve a certain political goal. There are generally only two purposes of war, one is for political status, and the other is for economic interests. These two purposes can be simply summarized up, that is—food, land, property, and population.”

After the generals in the audience listened, some nodded in agreement, and some were thoughtful. Chuning looked around the audience and found that most of the people were not listening very seriously. Obviously, they were not interested in such boring theories.

After taking a sip of water and resting for a while, Chuning just continued, "After clarifying the purpose of the war, I'll tell you how to settle accounts."

When mentioning the method of calculating accounts, all the generals under Xiao Hongfei immediately became interested and looked at Chuning one after another. There were also several generals who were proficient in writing and ink, and they had already begun to spread paper and study ink.

Chu Ning secretly smiled in his heart that the charm of money is really boundless, but on the face he was extremely serious, and said: "Everyone knows that on the first day I came to Husu County, my subordinate Erlang killed nearly [-] enemies."

Everyone nodded and said yes, this is what everyone saw with their own eyes, and the battle report has already been sent to General Gu and the Fifth Prince, probably to the court.

Afterwards, Chu Ning took a piece of rice paper from Feng Jiuqing and spread it out, saying: "At that time, we killed 120 enemies, captured 210 six uninjured horses, 140 eight seriously injured horses, and 320 three slightly injured horses. [-] two horses."

In this era, it was not mandatory for the army to seize it and donate it to the treasury.If they seized more, they would donate some to the court to show their loyalty to the emperor; if they seized less, they would generally fall into the hands of the leading generals, and the part would be withheld and then distributed to the soldiers under their command; At the same time, sometimes the emperor and the treasury still have to post rewards. If the emperor and the treasury are unwilling to post rewards, or if there is no reward, they may even acquiesce in the soldiers massacring and looting.

Therefore, the seizures of the Weimin Army that day fell into the hands of Chuning according to the usual practice, but Chuning is not a person who can eat alone. Except for Gao Zhimin, every general in the army under Xiao Hongfei, who is above the school level, Chu Ning Asking Feng Jiuqing to arrange a meeting gift, this is one of the reasons why Chu Ning was able to get away with Xiao Hongfei's subordinates.

"An uninjured war horse is worth eight guan; a lightly injured war horse is worth five guan; a severely injured war horse can basically only be used for slaughtering meat, and I will count it as one guan; as for dead horses... I believe everyone these days They also ate a lot." Chu Ning said, and suddenly asked: "Shen Xuanjie, is horse meat delicious?"

Shen Xuanjie's full name is Shen Yuan, and he is the school lieutenant of Xuanjie. When Chu Ning passed by the kitchen of the Weimin army, he saw this school lieutenant Shen buying dried horse meat for a penny a piece. He bought half a pot in one go.

Shen Yuan, who was suddenly named by Chuning, was stunned, and then he laughed and said loudly: "It's so delicious, it's because your firemen are so stingy, they cut each piece so small, it's not enjoyable to eat."

"If they cut it thickly, Shen Xuanjie, you will think that it is not tasty enough. To be honest, I also like to eat horse jerky. It is not only delicate in taste and unique in flavor, but also rich in nutrition and endless aftertaste. It can be used as a side dish, It can also be used as snacks and dry food. By the way, I also heard from the medical officer that eating more of this kind of dried horse meat can nourish the middle and Qi, nourish the liver and blood. Therefore, you generals can also take some back home with your trustees and give them to relatives and friends at home. Have a taste."

In fact, General Chu didn't like to eat horse meat, and even disliked it very sour and chewy. Only those who can't eat a meal of meat in this era can eat it as a delicacy.

After finishing the advertisement, Chuning's expression changed immediately, and he immediately brought the topic back to life: "According to my fireman, every dead horse can be cut into eight hundred pieces... This means that every dead horse can be cut into [-] pieces... It's worth eight hundred Wen."

A war horse weighs four to five hundred catties, and each piece of meat from the Weimin Army is one finger thick and two finger wide. It is impossible to cut only eight hundred pieces, or three or five times more.Xiao Hongfei knew that Chu Ning was talking nonsense, but he just smiled and didn't expose it.

Chu Ning glanced at Xiao Hongfei and said, "Now, generals, please do the calculations. How much money did the Weimin Army capture in this battle?"

As a result, the generals who straddled their horses and raised their guns on the battlefield began to scratch their heads and start to settle the accounts. There were also a few people who were more proficient in arithmetic, and they showed the numbers at the same time as Liu Changgui and others.

"Yes, two thousand yuan, 190 yuan, eight yuan and six hundred yuan." As Chuning said, his voice changed: "However, when the Zhaoyi Army issued rewards yesterday, it only cost 48 yuan..."

As soon as these words came out, all the generals on the scene were shocked immediately, and a few of them had already reacted quickly - the money alone, not to mention a reward every three days, even a reward every day, that is enough Posted many times...

oh go! ! !So that's how the account was calculated?

Immediately, all the generals present came to their senses, as if enlightened.

Xiao Hongfei also looked condensed, and then laughed at himself. He never thought that the army's account could be used to settle such a calculation.

According to the usual practice, when a large number of war horses are captured, some uninjured ones will be selected for the court, and the rest will be used by the generals for personal gain, or kept to equip their own troops. As for the wounded horses, only slightly injured ones will be selected. They are sold to some merchants or common people as mules and horses, and most of them will be slaughtered, and they will be used as rewards for the soldiers under their command.

Xiao Hongfei had [-] soldiers in his headquarters. If he fought against the same number of Xianbei soldiers, he could also get a capture like Chuning's.However, ten thousand soldiers with a big belly are terrible at eating meat. Two catties appetizers, three catties fill their stomachs, if they are full, they can eat at least a hundred horses in one meal.

In other words, that is to say, this amount of money, enough to attract people's attention, fell into Xiao Hongfei's hands, and it was only enough for his subordinates to eat a few meals of horse meat.

Money or horse meat, which can boost morale, almost without thinking, there is a choice.

Xiao Hongfei felt that it was very necessary for him to ask Chu for advice on how to raise soldiers so that it would be more cost-effective.

Chu Ning didn't know what Xiao Hongfei was thinking, but stood on the stage and continued to ask: "Does anyone know how many horses the Xianbei army on the other side of the river has?"

"More than 2..."

"I estimate that there should be twenty-five thousand!"

"Impossible! The general counted yesterday, twenty-two thousand!"

"Bah! There are so many horses running around, and there may be hidden ones... You can count birdballs!"

"There must be thirty thousand!"

……

Seeing the red faces of the generals below, Chu Ning couldn't help but want to laugh. She walked up to Feng Jiuqing, and was about to get the data calculated by the spy post when she heard Xiao Hongfei say, "There are more than [-] horsemen in total. .”

Chu Ning looked at the number in his hand, which was almost the same, and immediately pressed his hands. After the generals realized that Xiao Hongfei had already reported the number and gradually calmed down, he said: "Thirty-four thousand horses, if all of them are uninjured horses , then, the horses of the Xianbei army across the river are worth 27 guan!"

As he said that, looking at some generals who seemed a little dazed about the money, Chuning added, "That is to say, if our entire army of more than 2 people divides the money equally, each person can get ten guan many."

Now, everyone had a concept in their hearts, and everyone showed the same expression - no expression.

They were too numb to feel the shock.

Zhou Yu suddenly stood up and asked, "What if they are all dead horses?"

"Twenty-seven thousand guan." Chuning blurted out, "Each person will share [-] guan evenly."

"There's a lot of regular money." Shen Yuan interjected, "A soldier only has [-] cash per month, so I'm sure they'd be happy to share their regular money."

"Hahaha, even though that's the case, Shen Xuanjie's calculations are not accurate enough." Chuning continued to guide: "Think about it, how much food do we have to eat every day for more than 2 people? There are more than 4000 of them, more than 4000 Horse, how much food do you want to eat?"

"Xianbei people eat meat, beef and mutton." Deng Tong spoke positively: "Every time they go out to war, they always bring dried meat as military rations, but sometimes they will directly drive live cattle and sheep to the battlefield..."

"Fuck! I just remembered, and I hear cattle and sheep yelling on the opposite side every day." The general who likes to call himself Lao Tzu is surnamed Chu, and his single name is Qi. He is a general under Xiao Hongfei's subordinates. Maowazi, have you ever counted how many cattle and sheep are there?"

The one who was called Mao Wazi was another side general, whose full name was Mao Gui. He was two years younger than Chu Qi, but he was also in power. He usually called Chu Qi brothers and had a deep relationship. He would be named by Chu Qi. Looking at Xiao Hongfei blankly, he thought to himself, the general only counts the enemy's horses, how come he even counts the cattle and sheep now?

Xiao Hongfei smiled awkwardly. He did not ask the general to investigate the enemy's situation in such a detailed way before.

Looking at the situation in his hands, Chu Ning felt moved, and said casually, "Actually, we don't need to count, we can also calculate this account."

"To use a metaphor, each of them eats three catties of meat, and more than 3 people eat 150 catties of meat every day. If each cow weighs six hundred catties, that is to say, they have to eat [-] cows a day, and a month They will eat [-] heads."

Chu Ning said, "I know a businessman. She said that a live cow is worth six pennies each, and a dead cow is worth two pennies."

This casual statement is actually full of loopholes, but the generals present have already been confused by Chuning, because after counting the Xianbei army on the other side of the river, Chuning calculated how many cows the Xianbei will eat every day when they raise [-] troops this year , How many sheep should be eaten, how much should be eaten in a month, how much should be eaten in a year, and then converted into copper coins, which directly confused everyone.

After counting Xianbei, General Chu counted the rewards from the court. The soldiers counted money for the decapitation, and the generals were promoted to reward Yinzi...

After finishing this accounting class, Xiao Hongfei led a group of generals back to the camp, and heard them muttering non-stop along the way:

Cows are money, sheep are money, horses are money, grass is money, people can raise horses, cattle and sheep, so they are also money...

Officials are money, rewards are money, titles...a lot of money!

It's all money!

The Xianbei thief is really hateful!I eat and use my money every day!

After destroying the Xianbei army on the opposite side, everyone can share ten points...

After killing [-] Xianbei soldiers, each person can be divided into at least [-] pieces...

Grab the land of the Xianbei people and let them herd sheep and cattle every day...

Damn, I forgot how much General Chu calculated... Forget it, forget it, I'll ask her later...

There were also some generals who didn't worry about it, their faces were full of joy, and they thought to themselves:

If each pawn is divided into ten guan, I will deduct three guan for each, and [-] soldiers can deduct [-] guan...

If each pawn is divided into [-] guan, I will deduct [-] guan for each... [-] pawns can deduct [-] guan... Well, is it a bit too much?

Sixty thousand guan, you can buy a good piece of land and pass it on to your children and grandchildren... Ah!Sorry, I seem to have forgotten the land price of my hometown...

……

It's no wonder that these generals are simple-minded and eye-catching for money. In fact, they have never thought about land, population, cattle and sheep...whether living or dead, whether there is life or not, all are measured by money.

The huge numbers that Chu Ning babbled out of his mouth basically exceeded their understanding and knowledge, but even so, it cannot be said that Chuning was purely fooling and deceiving them. It can only be said that Chuning opened the door for them. It has opened the door to another way of thinking, and this new way of thinking may completely change the current way of war in the world with the goal of conquering cities and looting land.
