Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 131 Chen Yishen

"Judge Chen, Wu Sima is old and lacks energy. You should take care of some things. Armaments, food and grass matters are very important, so don't disappoint someone." Inside the Jiedu envoy's mansion, Shao Shude was dressed in a purple robe, Sitting upright, there are a lot of official documents submitted by various companies on the case, and the work rhythm seems to be quite tense.

But it's time to calm down.

After returning home from Suizhou, the two party maids, Wei Cai and Ye Li, were taken away by their main wives.Shao was a little bit regretful, a prairie soft rouge horse, and a Nanshan small wild raccoon, especially the latter, obviously not used to serving people, every time he had a heroic expression, and struggled from time to time, making himself I am full of interest and work on this little wild fox every night.

It's time for this ridiculous day to end.Rest is rest, work is work, and war is war.If he can't beat Tuoba Sigong, his prestige will be greatly reduced. In the future, do you still want to get some interesting wild foxes to play with?

"Marshal, I understand. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the military equipment and food, so let's do it." Similar to Zhao Zhi, Chen Yishen's entrusted officer is Xiazhou Biejia, and his dispatch is the shogunate sakura magistrate, who is in charge of the town. Warehousing matters, including the storage, transportation and distribution of grain and equipment, are in the hands of real power.

Marshal Wu Lian is old. The reason why he hasn't resigned is that he has worked for most of his life without making any major mistakes, and his professional ability is still good. For a certain person, Wu Lian needs to spend some time temporarily.

After Chen Yishen left, he didn't go to Cao Si Yamen at all, but called some driving officers, and went straight to the warehouse.

"General Yeli, General Li, be safe and don't be impatient!" Chen Yishen stopped the quarrel of the warriors with some headaches, and said: "The workshop makes enough feather arrows, why bother to quarrel?"

"12 arrows, General Yeli, send someone to collect them today. First come, first served, don't fight for it." Chen Yishen waved his hand, and called two driving officers, ordering them to take all the envoys to make arrangements.

Ye Liyu glanced at Li Tangbin triumphantly, shook the gleaming silver armor on his body, and left with his followers.Those of his followers, with shaven hair and sheep fur, have fierce and sinister eyes, and fight with others if they disagree with each other.Moreover, their self-esteem is super strong. When the Han sergeants ridiculed them for their strong smell, a group fight would always break out.

In the past few days, there are always hundreds of sergeants who were arrested and whipped by the shogunate officials because of fighting.

"General Li, the party Qiang is born in the Northwest, and is endowed with the hostility of the world. Why should we have the same knowledge as them?" Chen Yishen held back Li Tangbin, the military envoy of the Wuwei Army, and persuaded: "Nanshan wild raccoons are not familiar with them. Familiar with the tribe, many huǐ (huǐ) entangled, a group of dogs and cattle teeth, according to the deep mountains, haunt dangerous paths, near the bottom of the sky, swim in the womb, and cannot be shoveled when they are difficult. They can go down the mountain to help the commander-in-chief. An unprecedented event. After defeating Tuoba Sigong, there will be plenty of opportunities to slowly concoct it in the future."

"It's not afraid to concoct it now, just fight with Tuoba Sigong. The Nanshan wild raccoon is not as obedient as a certain subordinate's prairie Qianghu, so domineering, like Wei Bo's army, changed to other towns , I'm afraid he was beheaded long ago." Li Tangbin said angrily.

He is now the Youyi Envoy of the Wuwei Army, with a total of [-] cavalry under his command.Among them, one thousand were old people, and one thousand newcomers were raised on the grassland.It may be that they have seen the power of Shao Dashuai leading the army to the north. These people are still obedient, but now they have all changed into Han Chinese hair accessories, and even their surnames have been changed.For example, many of his army members with the surname Weicai have now changed their surname to Wei, and they are very obedient.

Li Tangbin didn't treat them as outsiders, and treated them equally, so he gradually collected the morale of the army, and the two thousand riders almost became one.

But this Nanshan wild raccoon is too much, and Yi Congjun is also a hodgepodge.If Zhemashan clan and Zheyu clan who have been Chinese for a long time do not open their mouths, you are not sure whether they are party members.But the gang of party members who came down from Hengshan were no good. They were real savages. Li Tangbin wanted to whip them when he saw it. They were too arrogant, especially that wild profit.

"General Li, there is no one else at this meeting, and Chen will say something out of his heart." Chen Yishen said cautiously: "The girl of Yeli Yulue is now in the commander's mansion. Although she is just a maidservant, but During those days in Suizhou, I heard rumors that the commander-in-chief was a favorite every night. Now the commander-in-chief has not yet had a son, just in case..."

Li Tangbin's expression changed when he heard the words, and he solemnly saluted Chen Yishen, saying: "Thank you, Judge Chen, for your suggestion. As for the arrow, it doesn't matter if you lead first and then you get the book. The Wuwei Army will start after five days, and send people tomorrow." You can also come and get it."

"The general is becoming a pioneer again?" Chen Yishen asked.

Li Tangbin smiled and said nothing.Mr. Chen is the magistrate of Sicang. He knows the departure time of each army, but he doesn't know which one will go first and which one will go later. In line with the principle of confidentiality, he can't talk about some things, even though he just mentioned it to him.

Fortunately, Chen Yishen was also knowledgeable, seeing Li Tangbin's expression, he confessed again and again, and revealed the matter with a smile.

They were chatting here, and after Yi Congjun led the arrows back to the camp outside the city, Ye Li Yulue returned to the city with his entourage, and found a restaurant for lunch.

Of course there are meals in his camp, boiled mutton in plain water, which used to be quite delicious, but now he doesn't want to eat it.The food in Xiazhou City is a hundred times better than that in the tribe!
Of course, there are other interesting things and interesting places.Yeli Yulue has recently opened his eyes, only to feel that squatting on the mountain since childhood has completely wasted time.Grandpa sent himself out of the mountain, probably because of the intention of letting him learn a lot.

Xiazhou is like this, what is Chang'an like?
"Zun felt, I don't want to go back to the mountain." Ye Liyu touched his stomach and said.

His expression is exactly like that of the [-] Shatuo sergeants who served in Jinyang for a few years, and finally "familiar with human feelings", no different from Han people.

Zun felt is not young, mature and prudent, he is Yeli Jingchen's confidant, at this time he frowned, but he didn't insist on it, but said euphemistically: "The things of the Han people are very expensive, the ones we brought Cattle and sheep, it won't take long."

"A certain person asked someone from the Zhemashan clan, and he said that he can serve as a soldier and get rewards, and his life is very comfortable." Ye Liyu said slightly disapprovingly.

Zun felt was secretly startled.In fact, he has seen the life of the Han people. He also served as a soldier in Binning Town in his early years, and fled back to the mountains after killing his comrades because of trivial matters.Among the eight towns in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, some towns may not have Uyghur, Turkic, or Tuyuhun sergeants, but there must be Dangxiang sergeants, and every town has them, more or less.

When he was in the army in Gyeongju, there were more than a thousand Dangxiang sergeants in the army. Zun felt and talked with those people, and they were basically used to the Han people's way of life.Live in the city, receive food and money and silk on a monthly basis, and go to battle to work hard.The first generation may still remember that they are members of the party, but the second and third generations are almost Han Chinese.If Ye Liyulue lived this kind of life, would he be able to return to the mountain?If the warriors of the two thousand tribes he brought here got used to the life in Xiazhou, would they return to the mountain?
Shao Shude really has some tricks.It is heard that after he conquered the grasslands, he collected well-known warriors one by one from tribe to tribe, and distributed rewards on the spot, and finally took 2000 people into the army as cavalry pawns.As long as these 2000 people are taken by him for a few years, and the rewards and punishments are fair, it is basically impossible for them to return to the grassland.There may be a few people who can't stand the control of the military, but in the face of moving interests, most people can still change themselves.

Is the hard life in the grassland better than being a professional warrior in Xiazhou?
Furthermore, the warriors on the prairie have all been taken away, how can the remaining crooked melons and cracked dates resist?If you go to the grassland to choose a wave of warriors every few years, not too many, hundreds of people at a time, wouldn't it be impossible to turn back?
If Shao Shude asked that Wei Mengbao warrior who had been renamed Wei Mengbao to lead troops to conquer the grassland, would he not follow?Even if not now, what about five years from now?

Zun felt suddenly remembered that the patriarch's daughter was still working as a maid beside Shao Shude.If he gave birth to a son in the future and Shao Shude made him serve as an envoy in the army, wouldn't the Yeli Department become a source of soldiers for others?In successive years of wars, all the strong members of the clan went to the battlefield, and in the end, it is unknown how many will come back alive.

Noribe, like the cows raised in the family, is milked every day until it can no longer be milked.At that time, cows will also be killed for meat.

Zun felt looked outside the restaurant. The family members of the sergeants were wearing beautiful clothes, talking and laughing, and carrying a lot of shopping in their hands.In the four prefectures of Xia and Sui, no one could resist the temptation to become a soldier.No, perhaps in the entire Tang Dynasty, joining the army is a good way out.Those warriors in the clan really haven't seen anything in the world, and they are fascinated by this colorful world. I don't know if they can still keep their hearts?
This matter must be discussed with the patriarch after returning home.I hope that Shao Shude's appetite will not be so big, it will be enough to swallow the Zhemashan clan in Suizhou, the Zheyu clan in Yinzhou, and the Xili clan.Noribu, the queen of the Mihou, will return to the snow-capped mountains after death, and cannot be swallowed up by the Han people like this.

Yeli Yulue and the others returned to the camp after eating.Chen Yishen, the magistrate of the shogunate, sent someone to inform them again, asking them to go to the city tomorrow morning to collect [-] hu of military rations.

According to the rules of the late Tang Dynasty, when you are in camp or on an expedition, you eat three meals a day, two Hubing for each meal, half a liter of noodles for each Hubing, and three liters of noodles for one person a day, which is not bad.In the Northern Song Dynasty, even if they were away on an expedition, the soldiers only had two liters of rations per day, and I don’t know how to eat enough.

There were 6000 soldiers in the Yi Cong army, and [-] hu of military rations was enough for them to eat for nearly two months.Coupled with some dry food or cattle and sheep that I brought with me during the expedition, it is not a problem to eat for more than two months.

According to the amount of military rations given by Judge Chen, the commander-in-chief is only planning to fight for two months?Or a month later, Xiazhou will transport grain and grass over?Or because of the food for the enemy, they directly ate the cattle and sheep of Tuoba Sigong's family?After all, they can't drive all the livestock to Youzhou City.

It's better to let Tuoba Sigong "treat" guests!
