The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1023 Enrichment and Power
"Forget it, this Marquis will not kill you, but it is impossible for you to stay in this position. If you still have a little heart to serve your family and country, go to the logistics to take care of the affairs. If you don't want to, you The Marquis did not stop me from leaving the barracks with my things," Xuan Shijing said.

"I'm willing to stay in the army." These people are not mediocre who can achieve high-level positions in the army. Although they followed Li Zhi to the dark road, they still have some talents. Xuan Shijing will not severely punish them at this juncture. At the moment, it is the right thing to concentrate on studying how to fight against Tuyuhun.

"If that's the case, I'll have to thank you all for the allocation of food, grass and equipment by the rear army." Xuan Shijing said, and then looked at Gao Jun: "Let's untie them."

"Yes." Gao Jun replied, and together with Chang Le, he untied the ropes that were tied to these people.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis." Standing in front of Xuan Shijing, these people bowed their hands in unanimous salute, and thanked Xuan Shijing.

Judging from Xuan Shijing's words, it is clear that Jin Wang Li Zhi has been recognized as a rebel by His Majesty in Chang'an. Those who are not dead are still in the army, if they are investigated, they will definitely die, and there is also an element of taking the blame for King Li Zhi of Jin.

"You have to keep in mind that this is the military, and the habit of gambling and drinking is not a good thing. If you are willing to work hard in the future and rely on your own ability and credit, it is not impossible to return to this position again, understand?" Xuan Shijing said : "The Marquis asked you to go to the logistics, and I hope you can take the blame and make meritorious service."

"Yes, the general thanked Lord Hou."

Hitting a stick and giving them a sweet date to eat is the way to be under the imperial court. Li Zhi has almost infiltrated the Minzhou army. It is of great use to keep these people, otherwise, Minzhou will really be captured. There was a mess in the barracks.

"There is one more thing that the Marquis wants to ask you." Xuan Shijing said.

"Master Hou, please speak."

"The army has not been paid for three months, how is the situation of the soldiers below?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"This..." the man pondered, and then said: "Although there is a lot of resentment towards King Jin, the military pay is usually paid in time. The soldiers have not said anything yet, but if the news of King Jin’s departure from Minzhou spreads to the army, I’m afraid.”

This person is telling the truth, but the more this is the case, the more headaches Xuan Shijing will have. Shangzhou does not know when there will be news, and when his booklet is handed over to Chang'an, Chang'an will be called immediately. It will take more than a month for the money and food to reach Minzhou. Within this time, who would have expected that Tuyuhun would make any other moves.

"In that case, the Marquis will personally explain to the soldiers about the military salary, but I need your help. I think there are many people in the army who were placed in the army before the King of Jin. I want you to help me screen out all the people. , who is available, who does not need to stay in the army, and give Ben Hou a result as soon as possible." Xuan Shijing looked at several people.

"Yes." Several people knew in their hearts that this Lord Hou came to Minzhou and wanted to take full control of the army in Minzhou. Did you bring it?

Half an hour later, Pang Mi came back and informed Xuan Shijing that the soldiers in the battalion had assembled and were waiting for Xuan Shijing at the training ground.

Xuan Shijing nodded, and asked the shirtless people in the camp to quickly put on their clothes and go to the training ground for a military parade.

The training ground is not far from the camp, on the west side of the camp, a large open space has been opened up, enough to accommodate 3 people, the training ground is carried out on weekdays, and the training ground is divided into several There are weapons racks and many archery targets all around.

There is a high platform facing the north and south of the training ground. On weekdays, military officers would stand on the high platform to watch the soldiers training below, and Xuan Shijing would naturally climb up to this high platform if he wanted to inspect the team.

On the high platform, Xuan Shijing stood in the center, Chang Le and Gao Jun stood behind Xuan Shijing, one on the left and one on the right, and the generals in the original army stood on the left side of Xuan Shijing. Mi and the others stood on the right side, while Qin Bingyue stood behind the crowd.

Xuan Shijing was on the high platform, but he had a panoramic view of the status of the soldiers below.

"Looking at you, you probably haven't trained for a while." Xuan Shijing said loudly, "I can't see a trace of morale in you!"

The soldiers below looked at Xuan Shijing on the high platform, wondering in their hearts, who is this young man? He suddenly appeared in the camp, what is he going to do?Isn't that Zhang Xingcheng in charge of the army?I heard that that person is a confidant of the King of Jin, but I haven't seen him for a while, so why is there a newcomer in this gathering?
"Presumably you are very curious about the identity of this Marquis. Then Ben Hou might as well tell you that I, Xuan Shijing, was conferred the title of Marquis of Dongshan, the imperial envoy appointed by His Majesty, and temporarily acting as the governor of Minzhou, in charge of military and political affairs in Minzhou. , As for the former governor of Minzhou, His Royal Highness King Jin, it is estimated that he has been summoned by the Chairman to wait for some things, and of course, among these things, His Royal Highness King Jin owes you three months of military pay."

As soon as Xuan Shijing said this, the whole world exploded in an instant, why did you become a soldier?Isn't it just to eat military food and take military pay to support the family?Now that King Jin has run away, what will happen to his military salary?You must know that the army in Minzhou had only 1 people before, and the imperial court allocated money and food for 1 people. Now, what should we do with the extra 2 people?
"Quiet!" Xuan Shijing yelled sharply: "I will find a way to solve the matter of the military salary for you. The fastest ten days and a half months, and the slowest one month, I will definitely pay all the general salary to you. I will do what I say. !"

The people below became quiet when they heard Xuan Shijing's words, and then they waited for the young Lord Hou on the high platform to fulfill his promise.

"Being a soldier, eating military rations, the military salary, supporting the family, is justified, but as a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, he must also have the country in his heart, and do things to protect the family and the country. How many people are present, wives, children, old and young? Those who live in Minzhou, raise your hands!"

Of the [-] soldiers in the audience, [-]% raised their hands, and the remaining [-]% were those who were alone and had no relatives.

"It seems that most of the people, wives, children and children, are in Minzhou, right behind you, and under your protection!" Xuan Shijing said sharply.
