Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1232 Review

After defeating Youzhou, the war basically came to an end.The next most important thing is nothing else, but rewards.

This is tradition, this is the atmosphere, this is the consensus, and it is also the common values ​​​​of warriors.

You can try to change this value and reverse this trend, but the first one to do so is bound to be backlashed.The second person to do this will most likely end badly.

After the backlash stress is almost released, the third, fourth, and fifth to do so may succeed.

Those who failed in the front are called the pioneers of the king and the thunder for others.

Don't think that the traversers are omnipotent, and don't think that once the world is unified, they can be unscrupulous.You are challenging the values ​​of all warriors and touching their inverse scales. If you suddenly reverse the so-called bad thoughts in their minds and reverse this social atmosphere, you will have to pay some price, right?

You are not a superman, your strength lies in gathering crowds, in prestige.Anything that undermines your prestige is weakening your own power.

Shao Shude has been fighting silently with the warriors all these years.

While maintaining his image as a spokesperson for the interests of martial arts, he tried every means to restrain them and fight against the trend of the times.

He didn't want the army he created to degenerate into the same bird in the late Tang Dynasty and the early Jin Dynasty, so he had to strictly restrain military discipline.But I also don't want the warriors to feel that the sages don't know their sufferings anymore, so they will be alienated.

To be sure of the speed, he has to be an old warrior like him who has worked in the army for 30 years, served as a big soldier and a small officer, and climbed up from the bottom all the way to operate.

And there is no Hou Liang, Hou Tang, Hou Jin, Hou Han, and Hou Zhou to take the thunder for you and sit back and enjoy the success like the Northern Song Dynasty.All the bombs have to be dismantled by yourself, and some bombs that will explode no matter how they are dismantled have to be directly borne by you.

Immediately after the death of Tang Dynasty, the establishment of a unified dynasty was originally going against the sky, and Shao Shude had been carefully operating it.

On December 23rd of the third year of Jianji, nearly [-] troops lined up in the wilderness south of Youzhou City.

Hundreds of thousands of people stood there densely, extending to the boundless sky. The scene was very shocking.

As soon as Shao Shudefu appeared at the top of the city, one hundred thousand soldiers suddenly cheered: "Long live my emperor!"

Shao Shude quietly enjoyed the cheers, but at the same time he was very sober: They can support you, or they can betray you, they must be cautious, cautious, and more cautious!
Ge Congzhou, Chen Cheng, Shao Siwu, Zhu Zhen and others stood behind him separately.

"How can there be no reward for defeating Youzhou? People will give you one coin and two bolts of silk." Shao Shude announced.

After the order is announced, it is conveyed to each army and each command in turn.Not surprisingly, it drew even more enthusiastic cheers.

Shao Shude got down from the top of the wall and rode his horse.

This time, the rewards were real objects, and the source was the treasury of Youzhou—in fact, not all of them were treasuries, there were also many seized from the slaughter of the rebels, which were actually the possessions of the rich families in Youzhou.There are a total of nearly 30 pieces of silk and 20 coins, and the rest of the treasures are in the thousands, which is still very rich.

Shao Shude stayed in front of the Tianxiong army for a while, and when the soldiers saw it, the cheers that had just subsided broke out again.

"Long live my emperor!" Military envoy Zang Dubao took the lead, and more than 2 soldiers hit the ground with spears, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic.

There are more than [-] soldiers of the Crane Control Army next door, everyone looked sideways when they heard the shouts of the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army, could it be that Shao Sheng also has a righteous army?One by one screaming so loudly.

Shao Shude got off his horse and approached the warriors of Tianxiong Army.

"It's been more than half a year since the expedition, do you feel homesick?" Shao Shude asked while standing in front of a sergeant, looking at the frost-cracked wounds on his hands and face.

"Of course I wanted to." The sergeant said, "But His Majesty is still in Youzhou, so I just left, it's too dishonest."

Putting these words in other dynasties, it is absolutely impossible for Xiao Bing to say such things even if they want to die.But Shao Shude was used to it long ago, and he was very happy to hear it at this time, because he heard a different meaning from it, and it was something he had been working hard to create and promote.

To drive warriors to fight for you, apart from financial incentives, you need something else.It can be loyalty, it can be loyalty, it can be gratitude, or it can be just pleasing to the eye, anything is fine, in short, you need something different.Because buying with money, anyone can do it.

This sergeant thinks that you are loyal and you have the concept of loyalty, so it is not easy to be bought, at least if the two parties bid the same, he will not betray you.

"You are so devoted to loyalty, how can I not?" Shao Shude said: "I have also been a martial artist, and I know the sufferings of martial arts. Your hand, alas!"

Shao Shude took off his cloak, wrapped it up for him himself, and said: "I have the help of righteous men from the Shao family, so why worry?"

He secretly changed the concept of this sentence and changed himself to "Shaw Brothers".Because he knows that the warriors are loyal to him, but they may not be loyal to his son. He has committed rebellion for 150 years, and the trend of victorious and superior has been deeply rooted in his bones. How many years has it been since the new dynasty was established?My son really doesn't have this prestige.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Under the envious eyes of others, the sergeant calmly wrapped his cloak tightly around his body, and said, "I'm only 25 after the new year, and I can still fight for 30 years. Your Majesty's descendants, I'm safe!"

Grass, this is very wrong.But the warrior's gaze was very calm, and he spoke the truth. Shao Shude felt touched, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I believe you."

After speaking, he walked up to the other person, pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, looked at it, and pushed it back again. He unsheathed and put it in three times, Fang said: "It's in good condition, this is a real warrior."

The samurai stood taller, head held high.

"Do you miss home?" Shao Shude asked.

"Gaotang is still here, he has a wife, a concubine, five children, and food and clothing. I don't need to worry about it. I can continue to kill the enemy for Your Majesty." The warrior replied.

"Okay!" Shao Shude smiled, but did not give any extra rewards.

The money and food are in place, and I will continue to fight for you. What if it is not in place?
He thought of the army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, who owed so much wages, didn't have enough food and clothing, and even had to pawn their wives and children, yet they were willing to serve the court.Such a well-behaved army is also awesome.It seems that the 600-year education of loyalty and patriotism in the Song and Ming dynasties was still very effective.

He then chatted with more than ten warriors.Overall, the Tianxiong Army is still very reliable. A large number of martial arts students serve as officers, and their loyalty is relatively high. Generals, loyalty is still far inferior.

After leaving the formation of the Tianxiong Army, he came to the front of the formation of the Crane Control Army.Military envoy Cao Yijin stood at the front and bowed in salute.

"What does General Cao think of the Tianxiong Army?" Shao Shude asked.

"Loyalty and invincibility, sincerity is the number one strong army in the world." Cao Yijin replied, which is also his true feeling in his heart.

No one knew how complicated Cao Yijin's heart was when Shao Shude stood in front of the Tianxiong army and more than 2 soldiers cheered in unison.

The Crane Control Army, in front of Tianxiong warriors, would be defeated in one face-to-face, the gap is too great.

Shao Shude smiled and said: "From tomorrow onwards, the Crane Control Army will weed out the weak and retain the strong, and let most of the unusable soldiers go home. The Chishui and Gongchen armies will be merged, do you know about this?"

"I know." Cao Yijin replied.

"Then do you know why I merged the two armies of Chishui and Gongchen?" Shao Shude asked again.

Cao Yijin was flustered for a while, and said bravely, "I know everything."

"You better know." Shao Shude said: "I have ruled the army for more than [-] years. Those who make meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and those who have done wrong must be punished. Controlling the Crane Army is my forbidden army. Those who make meritorious service for me will be rich."

"Your Majesty." Cao Yijin knelt down directly, sweating profusely.

He already heard the meaning of the saint's beating.Whose army is the Crane Control Army?Who are you loyal to?This question needs to be clarified.

"Do things well." Shao Shude said lightly, and left.

It took Cao Yijin a long time to stand up.

None of the Dunhuang warriors behind him dared to laugh at him. The sage had just wiped out Youzhou and Cangjing towns, and a hundred thousand warriors had lined up in the field, full of murderous aura. Their small stature was really nothing.

Cao Yijin thought to himself, what did King Zhao offend the saint again?Regal is really unpredictable.

It is obvious that His Royal Highness has tacitly allowed His Highness to get involved in the military power before.Cao Yijin understood this, handed over the army to the general, Daxia had the risk of perishing for the second generation, and handed over the army to the prince, although there was also the risk of perishing for the second generation, but it was much lower than the former, obviously already like this, Why did you suddenly hit him again?

King Zhao looks like this...

Cao Yijin sighed, thinking silently.

After Shao Shude inspected the various armies one by one, the peasants of the Tutuan brought over cartloads of goods and distributed them on the spot.Immediately, everyone beamed with joy.

Shao Shude looked at a group of Youzhou generals, tyrants, and gentry standing outside the city, and asked, "What do you guys think of the military power of Great Xia?"

"The murderous aura is full of wildness, with the momentum of swallowing the sky and piercing the earth."

"The one who rules the world is none other than Your Majesty."

"Seeing the might of the soldiers, all the heroes tied their hands and fled far away at night. Youzhou is peaceful and all is well."

"With such a strong army, we will weep with joy."

Shao Shude laughed out loud as he listened silently to the speeches of the representatives of the indigenous forces in Youzhou.

After laughing, he looked at the last one standing in front of him, it was the silver saddle and the palace guards.

Especially the latter, or the veterans of the imperial army whom he trusted, or the noble children, but the most numerous were the slaves.

He now has four major slave tribes: Hongyuan Palace, Yulin Palace, Woyang Palace, and Xianyou Palace, which are located in Hexi, Guanbei, and Yanbei respectively.

Every year in the first lunar month, the Wanhu and Qianhu who manage these tribes will come to the capital to see them.

Grasslands are so expensive and highly hierarchical, and Ding Zhuang of the Fourth Palace has always regarded himself as a servant of the Supreme Khan.Shao Shude's rewards are also very generous, not only rewards of money, but also various armor and weapons. Over the years, he has also been on the battlefield many times, and he is already an armed force that cannot be ignored.

There are no other nobles in these prairie slaves, only official positions, and the only noble family is the Khan family, and only those with the blood of the Shao family can command them.

Like martial arts, this is a gift he left to his son, and it is also the confidence that he has more than other kings of the Five Dynasties in history.

"The whole army will be drunk for two days." Shao Shude announced.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" 10 people shouted for the first time, beaming.
