Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1725 Many Soldiers and Horses

In many cases, it is obviously not enough to just give some military pay and just let some people have enough to eat.

And if the military salary is just a picture cake, it will be even worse.

For many people, only when they have money and their families can live a good life, can they dare to work hard, and they will have nothing to worry about.

Gao Yu heard a lot in the restaurant, but the most fundamental problem is that the money is not in place. If the money is in place, many things will naturally be much easier to handle.

So, after leaving the restaurant, he didn't go back to his residence, but went to the palace to meet Tian Yuan.

After seeing Gao Yu, Tian Yuan felt a little strange, and asked, "Why is Gao Aiqing here?"

Gao Yu said: "Your Majesty, I have already started recruiting soldiers and horses, but the effect is not very obvious. I have found the root cause."

Hearing that the effect was not good, Tian Yuan frowned slightly, but when he heard that Gao Yu had found the root cause, he relaxed a little and asked, "Where is the root cause?"

Gao Yu told what he had heard in the restaurant.

"In the final analysis, they don't have enough money to allow their families to live better, and after this battle, they don't know if they can survive, so if the military salary can't be paid to them immediately, they probably won't come to work hard , So what I mean is that if you want to recruit soldiers and horses, you have to pay them the military salary in advance. However, in our Ministry of Households, there is still food and grass, but there is not much money. If you want to pay them all at once, I am afraid it will be very difficult. Difficult."

After Gao Yu finished speaking, he slightly raised his head and glanced at Tian Yuan. Tian Yuan curled his lips and said, "Okay, tell me what you mean. You don't need to beat around the bush with this king."

Gao Yu smiled wryly, and said: "There are many treasures in the king's palace. If these treasures are exchanged for money and used as military pay for those people, I will surely be able to recruit tens of thousands of soldiers and horses for Goguryeo."

Hearing that Gao Yu wanted money from the palace treasury, Tian Yuan frowned slightly. Even as a king, he was a bit stingy. He could spend money from the household department, but if it was from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he was a little bit stingy. I don't like it anymore.

But now that Goguryeo is in crisis, and the Ministry of Households doesn't have enough money, if he doesn't take out the money, the whole Goguryeo may have difficulty getting through the difficulties.

After thinking for a while, Tian Yuan regained his composure, and said: "Gao Aiqing's words are very reasonable, and this king is not a greedy person, and at this moment of national crisis, if Goguryeo is not protected, the money will be much cheaper in the end. Tang, okay, the king will order someone to open the inner treasury, and Aiqing can use the money in it as he pleases."

Seeing Tian Yuan's generosity, Gao Yu quickly nodded his thanks.

In fact, when he came here, he didn't think too much, because he knew that Tian Yuan would definitely agree, unless he didn't want his Goguryeo anymore, unless he wanted to be a prisoner of Datang.

In today's situation, no matter who it is, there is a very clear standard for how to choose.

After Gao Yu got the promise, she didn't stay in the Kingdom any longer, and went down to get busy soon.

Regarding the recruitment situation, Goguryeo has new regulations.

For those who serve as soldiers at this time, their military salary will be fulfilled immediately, and their military salary will be double that of other times. In addition to the military salary, as long as they serve as soldiers, they will also have a settling allowance sent to their home .

And if you have made military exploits on the battlefield, there will be rewards, and these rewards will be honored immediately after the war is over.

There are many rewards, such as land, money, and even other things that people dream of, such as beautiful women?
Nowadays, for Goguryeo, beautiful women are not so important. In order to allow these men to serve as soldiers, what's the point of using beautiful women to seduce them?
The conditions for these conscriptions were quickly announced in Koguryo and other places.

After the announcement, the entire Goguryeo King City immediately caused an uproar.

Originally, there were not many people in the royal city who wanted to be soldiers, but after these conditions came out, some men in the royal city couldn't wait to become soldiers.

Obviously, they were also attracted by this kind of favorable conditions.

Those who have no money have to serve in the army for money, and those who are single also want to serve in the army in order to get a wife. Anyway, these conscription conditions can be regarded as meeting the needs of different people. It makes sense, right?

A few days later, Goguryeo recruited another [-] soldiers and horses.

They originally had more than 7 soldiers and horses, but now they have recruited 11 more soldiers and horses, so there are 12 soldiers and horses, or even [-] soldiers and horses.

If the 12 soldiers and horses can be formed into a large wind and thunder formation, the power will be even stronger. Even if the Tang army now has [-] to [-] soldiers and horses, they are definitely not their opponents.

Of course, there are still [-] reinforcements from the Tang army. If these [-] soldiers arrive immediately, the outcome of their battle will be unpredictable.

But even if the outcome is unpredictable, as far as Goguryeo is concerned, there is great hope, because after all, they may defeat the Tang army and drive them out.

It took a few days to recruit soldiers and horses, and it still takes some time for these soldiers and horses to train the wind and thunder formation. If so, it will take about ten days for Goguryeo's soldiers and horses to be put into the battlefield again.

And Tian Yuan also knew that in more than ten days, Datang's third reinforcements should arrive.

At that time, their battle with Tang Jun could only be described as a battle of life and death.

Since it was a life-and-death battle, Tian Yuan was not in such a hurry at this time. All he needed to do now was to wait, to fight Tang Jun to the death.

After the soldiers and horses from Goguryeo were recruited, they were quickly handed over to Lin Wuwei for training.

On the side of Tang Jun, they were also paying close attention to the situation of Goguryeo. When they learned that Goguryeo had recruited [-] soldiers, Qin Tian and the others were a little bit worried.

The more soldiers they have, the greater the pressure on their Tang army. Even if their reinforcements arrive, even if they make loud noises, they are still somewhat worried.

However, although he felt a little stressed, Qin Tian didn't show the slightest expression. He just smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, when my reinforcements from the Third Route of the Tang Dynasty arrive, no matter what kind of wind and thunder formation they have, let them Taste the real wind and thunder."

When the sky-shaking sound bombed, it was really a bit like thunder.

After everyone heard Qin Tian's words, they immediately felt a sense of pride.

"That's right, that's right, it's just a big wind and thunder formation, what's there to be afraid of?"

"We fought against them twice, and we didn't see any losses."
