Chapter 570 (1/2)
”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.
