The border military system is about 20 permanent troops, 20 mobile troops, and about [-] logistics personnel. Only in the past few decades have soldiers been recruited from border towns. When Hongguo was first established, These [-] soldiers were all recruited from other parts of the country. They left their homes and came to the border to guard their homes and defend the country.

The border guards are not the Liang family's private army. Their existence is not to defend the Liang family, nor to defend the north, but to resist foreign invasion and protect the stability of the entire country. They should be supported by the country.

It should be the full responsibility of the state to supply the frontier soldiers, and even the measure that the frontier generals raise half of their military pay by themselves should not be.

No one is willing to stay in a bitter cold place like the border or even survive for generations, no one including the Liang family would be willing.Among the people in the frontier customs, less than one-tenth of the people in the An'ing area can die.Compared with soldiers in other places, the border soldiers accounted for less than [-]%. The generals can see from the Liang family that only two of the Liang family who have been stationed at the border in the past have lived past [-].No matter how important power is, can life be important?

But no other generals were willing to stay at the border, and changing generals before the battle was a taboo for military strategists, so the Liang family took up this important task, and went to the border loyally from generation to generation.The Hongguo emperors of all dynasties were worried about the power of the Liang family because of this, and cut the food and salaries at the border gates from top to bottom. This decision is made by the garrison general himself.Can it not be chilling?

This is equivalent to the fact that the people in the border area not only have to perform military service to resist foreign enemies, but also bear half of the military salary themselves, and only half of the military salary shared by other regions can actually reach the border.For the sake of the country's stability, the generals and the people at the border have gritted their teeth and endured it year after year.

What can be exchanged, another skimping!This year, the emperor directly ordered to reduce the grain and grass again, and even reduce the supply of winter supplies, so how many can really reach the border? !This decree is almost equivalent to making the border self-sufficient.And border gates can't do that at all.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about the most important food and winter supplies.The soldiers at the frontier are all men who want to go to battle to kill the enemy, so they consume more food than others, and they can't even go hungry for a meal.Winter supplies include winter clothes, winter mattresses, etc. At the border, these items are consumables. They have been poked a few holes, soaked in blood and snow water are common things, and very few of them used last year can still be used this year.

If there is not enough food, the soldiers at the border will be hungry.Without supplies for the winter, half of the soldiers would be killed by freezing to death, not to mention the exponentially increasing casualty rate after going to the battlefield.

This is simply not giving people a way out!

Those gangsters in Beijing don't recognize these illiterate soldiers, they have no feelings, and they are willing to take their lives as a trifling matter.But Liang Jing is the immediate boss who has lived and died with them for several years. He can tolerate the corpses of these brothers defending the country in horse leather. This is an honorable sacrifice, but he cannot tolerate them starving to death and freezing to death in front of Liang Jing. There is one way to choose, Liang Jing never minds being accused of treason, he turned his sword to the capital, overthrew the world and reshuffled the cards.

"Master, whatever you want to do, I will support you."

When Cheng Che had never been in contact with the iron-blooded men at the border, he just thought that he would not be used by Liang Jing, but now that he understood the depths that were not written in the plot, Cheng Che was willing to be used by him, and even rejoiced that he was the prince. It can make Liang Jing more straightforward, and can stop the tongues of those rotten Confucians in the capital.

The light in Liang Jing's eyes was flickering, reflecting a small figure of Cheng Che. After two years of training, the little guy has grown taller and slimmer, and his body, which was not much flesh before, is now even more depleted. There is only a skeleton of a young man, wrapped in a thin layer of muscle.

He was not wearing the delicate clothes he brought when he came here, yes, for Cheng Che at that time, the clothes he brought to the border were already very simple, but compared with the clothes he usually wears at the border, those clothes he wore were really Fine, for example, what Cheng Che is wearing now is the most common border linen clothes, pure color, without any pattern, this is really simple.

"Do you know what I want to do?" Liang Jing pulled Cheng Che into his arms, and pinched his sharp chin to prevent him from dodging.

"I can probably guess it." Cheng Che sat on Liang Jing's lap, making a very intimate gesture, but without any charm, he answered solemnly, "There are only a few options that can solve the winter predicament, resisting the decree, threatening the emperor for food and grass , and then wait for the country to settle down and be liquidated, or directly establish itself as a king, but after a few years of hard work, it is still liquidated, or, change the emperor, change the emperor who knows how to sympathize with the soldiers at the border."

In Cheng Che's words, there was no respect for the emperor, that is, his father.Originally, he didn't like the original owner's father, he was fatuous and self-righteous, he only knew how to enjoy the emperor's blessing, and never fulfilled the emperor's duties.

"Would you be sympathetic to the border guards?" Liang Jing looked deeply at Cheng Che, and Cheng Che couldn't understand the emotion in his eyes.

Cheng Che was stunned by the question, "Huh?"

Liang Jing pushed Cheng Che away, and then stood in front of Cheng Che. The person in front of him was still a half-grown child. Even if he grew taller, he would only reach Liang Jing's chest. The masters of this world, the people are sometimes incredibly simple, and sometimes they are extremely ignorant. The sacrifices made by letting Cheng Che be the emperor are much less than Liang Jing's own being the emperor.

These few days were enough for Liang Jing to realize what kind of person Cheng Che was, a person he could gamble once.

Next, Liang Jing did something that shocked Cheng Che. Liang Jing knelt down in front of Cheng Che, "If you reappear in the prosperous world, I will protect you with this body."

"Submission update."

Side quest: Cultivate confidantes. 【completed】

Side mission: become king on your own. [If you want to compete in the world, you must first have a qualification. 】

The surprise was so shocking that it took Cheng Che a long time to react before he came back to his senses.

"Master! Get up quickly!" Cheng Che hurriedly pulled Liang Jing, "I promise, I promise...Master, get up quickly!"

It wasn't that Liang Jing wanted to force Cheng Che, he got up as soon as he was pulled by Cheng Che. Although he decided to support Cheng Che's ascension, there were conditions. If Cheng Che couldn't do it, don't blame him for going back on his word.

I don't know where Di Rong got the news, and he started attacking the city when he learned that the supply was reduced this year and his morale was low.

The northern defense line of Hongguo is long or short. The west is close to the mountains and the east is close to the ocean. They are all natural dangers. Don’t worry about being attacked. The remaining section of the Great Wall is divided into three main checkpoints. To the west is Yumen Pass, and in the middle is Zhenbei Pass, both of which are guarded by the border troops of the town.

The other two checkpoints have natural dangers to rely on, only the front of Zhenbei Pass is flat, so basically Liang Jing has been stationed at Zhenbei Pass for many years, and occasionally visits the other two checkpoints. Usually, the other two checkpoints when Liang Jing is not around The two generals outside the order are the top generals.

Liang Jing's military rank in Hongguo was the General of the Township Army. Besides, there were five generals in the Township Army, more than a dozen participating generals, and countless lieutenants and non-commissioned officers.Apart from Liang Jing, there was another general in Zhenbei Pass. Although he had met Cheng Che before, he was not very familiar with Cheng Che. He only knew that Liang Jing valued Cheng Che very much.The other four generals had only heard about Cheng Che, so Liang Jing didn't tell his subordinates that he wanted to recommend Cheng Che as emperor, but he wanted to wait for Cheng Che to grow up and do something.

Therefore, Cheng Che's life was the same as before, exercising in the morning, practicing marksmanship in the afternoon, and learning the art of war to govern the country in the evening.

After Di Rong came to attack the city, Liang Jing seldom had time to be by Cheng Che's side, especially when his morale was low. He had to stand at the front to boost morale. Not to shake the morale of the army too much.

Part of Liang Jing's plan was revealed to Cheng Che. It was about releasing the unpaid soldiers at the border and the army's morale was in turmoil. If they were about to lose their hold, they would guide the people to go to a safe place.Clear out a passage from the border to the capital.

After everything is ready, it will be time for Di Rong to make a massive invasion at the end of autumn this year. If Di Rong's army is allowed to enter the pass, Di Rong will most likely point directly at the capital.

Di Rong invades every winter for food, and Liang Jing in the north will not leave any food for Di Rong after he retreats with his army. Di Rong can only go south all the way. In the name of escort, he followed into Beijing.

During this period, the emperor was killed by Di Rong, or in other words, all those who were eligible to inherit were killed by Di Rong. It is only logical to support Cheng Che as the emperor.

As for the innocent people who died during this period, which of the soldiers who died in battle over the years is guilty?As a general, Liang Jing would not have such a soft heart. Even Cheng Che, who spent more than half a year at the border, has polished off his softness. People sacrifice at the border every day. If it can be exchanged for a moment of troubled times The world is peaceful all over the world, it is worth it.

The peasant uprising in the south can't cause much trouble, but it's no problem to contain the army in the south who are eating dry food. Now there are only a group of imperial guards who are even more face-saving in the capital, and they can't stand Di Rong's invasion. The frontier army protected Hongguo so well that the people of Hongguo forgot that there was still a sword named Foreign Race hanging on their heads. Now it's time for them to see it.

"Che'er, are you afraid?"

As if they traveled all the way from the capital to the border, this time they were going back to the capital, and the two of them still rode together.But before the last group of them evacuated, Liang Jing and the others had one more thing to do, which was to feign defeat.

There is still one last battle to be fought, blood will inevitably be seen, that's why Liang Jing asked this question.

"Don't be afraid." Cheng Che squeezed Liang Jing's sleeves tightly, and the chest against his back trembled. It seemed that Liang Jing let out a silent chuckle or sigh.

This is the last battle, and the future battles will not be against this group of foreigners, but will be against each other.
