Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 809 Human Dead and Birds Upward and Immortal for Tens of Thousands of Years

Chapter Two and Two
Although Li Yuan's order was not received, Chen Ying wanted to come.Li Yuan will definitely agree that in the spring of the seventh year of Wude, he can receive the imperial decree and return to Chang'an.

As Li Xiuning said, he, Chen Ying, would not be anyone's loyal minister. Even if Lord Yan wanted Chen Ying's life, he would have to pluck off a few beards of Lord Yan.

With Chen Ying's identity and status, even Li Yuan could not be punished without guilt. He needs to be charged with enough crimes, and he can only be executed after the tribunal of three divisions interrogates him.As long as the head is not cut off with a knife, Chen Ying has enough room to operate.

Chang'an can be said to be a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, but in order not to leave any regrets for Li Xiuning, Chen Ying decided to make a breakthrough.

However, before returning to Chang'an, Chen Ying decided to make complete preparations.

"Government grows out of the barrel of a gun!"

Chen Ying could easily lose the military power led by the Right Guard of the Eastern Palace, even the military power of the Dingyuan Army and Lingzhou, and the military power of the Four Guards of the Eastern Palace, but he was not prepared to lose the military power of the Xiaoqi, Shesheng, and Modao armies.

If Li Yuan thought that he could take back the military power of Modao, Xiaoqi, and Shesheng Armies with a single imperial decree, it would be a bit of a breakthrough.There will be some generals in the three armies who have a heart for the court, but most of the soldiers will not.Because Chen Ying gave too many benefits to the soldiers of the three armies, and these benefits cannot be recovered with a single edict.

What's more, throwing these three armies to Li Yuan, Li Yuan couldn't afford to support them at all.There is a school in each Zhechong Prefecture of the Anxi Army. The children of this school, without exception, are all the children of the soldiers who enroll, and all tuition fees are exempted. The school also provides free lunch and breakfast.

The Tang Dynasty is no better than the later generations. When the imperial examination system did not completely abolish the recommendation system, almost all the officials were from aristocratic families and powerful families. This odds are about the same as the 500 million jackpot.

If the children of Fubing want to stand out, the only way is to go to the battlefield with a weapon.However, the battlefield is extremely dangerous, even under Chen Ying's command, the number of casualties has been very low, but from the first year of Wude to the present, the number of casualties has exceeded [-], and the number of disabled is unknown.Although this probability is higher, it also requires enough courage and luck.

But reading is different. The literacy rate in this era is too low, even lower than that of college students in their 60s and [-]s, almost a one in ten thousand chance.As long as you can read, write and draw, you can always do well.For the generals of Anxi, the benefit of Zhechongfu Academy alone was enough to make them feel grateful to Chen Ying.

The key is that this Zhechongfu school is very expensive. The larger school costs more than 3000 guan a year, and the smaller one costs more than 1000 guan.The key is the 30 soldiers of the Anxi Army. The key is that there are sixty or seventy Zhechongfu schools in Anxi. This consumption is not small. In addition to the county schools and state schools, Chen Ying needs more than 30 telephone bills for a hundred years. Wan Guan.It is no exaggeration to say that Li Yuan would rather spend [-] yuan to raise an army of [-] than build so many schools.

In addition to the Zhechongfu School of the Anxi Army, another benefit for the soldiers of the Anxi Army is the Zhechongfu Medical Center.Under Chen Ying's creation, each Zhechong Mansion has a team of medical soldiers. During wartime, they naturally act with the troops and participate in field rescue, but they have to stay in the garrison in normal times to see a doctor and get medicine for the family members or children of the soldiers.

Zhechong Mansion Medical Center is not all free, although minor illnesses are free, but only [-]% of serious illnesses are reimbursed, if the soldiers have no money, it doesn't matter, but advance payment in advance, the rewards for future meritorious service on the battlefield will be used to offset medical expenses .Moreover, this fee does not include the cost of seeing a doctor, and seeing a doctor is always free.

The difficulty of seeing a doctor is actually a common problem in this era.As the so-called folk proverb goes, "A family is rich, and one illness is over". Only family members or soldiers with military status are eligible to enjoy the Zhechong Mansion Medical Center, and ordinary people have no chance.

Of course, this item of expenditure also amounts to tens of thousands of strings per year, but it depends on the annual situation.

The generals of the Anxi Army also have the benefits of assembly baths. With military registration or military tickets, they can go to the baths for free.Of course, this treatment is just a bonus, some are barely higher than none.

Of course, more importantly, the salaries of the Anxi Army officers and soldiers are high.That is to say, the [-] Anxi Army soldiers, without planning the consumption of armor, weapons, arrows, food, forage, sauce, meat, etc., only benefit plus military pay, amounted to as many as one million guan.It can be said that the treatment of each soldier of the Anxi Army has almost caught up with the eighth-rank military officer of the imperial court.

It is precisely because of the good welfare benefits of the Anxi Army officers and soldiers, free new clothes, free bathhouses, medicine halls, schools, and chicken, duck, and polished rice white noodles during the Chinese New Year, so the people in the Western Regions are all proud to be soldiers of the Anxi Army , no matter how serious the reduction in the battlefield is, Chen Ying can always easily recruit enough soldiers.

It's cruel to say it, but it's the truth.Chen used the expenditure of more than 100 million guan to arm the new army of Anxi Army.Although the generals of the Anxi army accounted for less than one-fifth of the total army of the Tang Dynasty, they spent more than the most elite twelve guards in the Guanzhong of the Tang Dynasty.

Unless Li Yuan was willing to spend one-fifth of the national treasury to fill this hole, it would be impossible for Li Yuan to bribe all the soldiers of the Anxi Army.Without Chen Ying's support, it is strange that the generals of the Anxi Army did not give up their picks.

Against this background, Chen Ying still summoned his confidants, such as Ma Zhou, Ma Mengming, Zhang Shigui, Zhang Huaiwei, Duan Zhigan, Su Dingfang and other generals to discuss military matters.

After seeing all the generals gathered together, Chen Ying's sharp gaze slowly scanned the generals.

All the generals quickly held their breath and listened attentively.

Chen Ying didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: After the beginning of spring, the roads will be smooth, and the Metropolitan Guard will return to Chang'an! "

Luo Shixin hurriedly asked, "Why?"

Chen Ying smiled slightly and said, "Madam is about to give birth, and the weather in the Western Regions is harsh, not to mention that Your Majesty already misses the emperor's grandson!"

Being able to become the chief general of an army is not given for nothing.When Chen Ying said this, they already understood that it was not that Chen Ying wanted to go back, but that Li Yuan wanted Chen Ying to go back.It is true to think that the emperor's grandson is fake, but it is true to hold Chen Qian as a hostage.

Luo Shixin said indignantly: "Western Turks are still alive, and Tubo's strength is still there. Can we not go back?"

Chen Ying gave the generals a reassuring look, and then said: "The jurisdiction of the Western Regions is too vast. From Yiwu in the east to Shule in the west, it covers more than [-] miles. If the weather is bad, I'm afraid I can’t go back and forth for two months. The Grand Protector has decided to divide the Western Regions into three towns, Tingzhou, Shule, and Qiuci.”

Having said that, Chen Ying drew the regional maps of Tingzhou, Shule, and Qiuci towns on the map, and pointed to Tingzhou Town of the map state as the supply base of the Anxi Army. The deputy guardian envoy of Pin, the commander of the Modao Army, and Anxi Jiuzhe rushed to the mansion. A total of [-] soldiers and horses were stationed in Tingzhou City. "

Zhang Huaiwei was silent for a moment, then bowed and agreed.

Chen Ying pointed to Kucha and said, "Duan Zhigan, you are the guardian envoy of Cong Sanpin of Kucha town, and Su Dingfang is the deputy guardian envoy. The main defense areas of Kucha are Tianshan South Road and Tiannan North Road in Kucha. There are many tribes here and the people's conditions are complicated. , to fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside!"

Duan Zhigan was overjoyed when he heard the words, clasped his hands together and said, "Don't worry, the chief protector, you are here in the city!"

Chen Ying's gaze fell on Zhang Shigui, pointed to Shule and said, "Zhang Shigui, are you worried that Shule Town will guard the Sanpin envoy to guard the west gate of the Tang Dynasty for the capital, from Geluoling, Tuoyunguan, There is also Xihai, after the defeat of the Western Turks since Ashina Buzhen, they will definitely not be reconciled to failure, and they will definitely try to make a comeback. No matter how many people from the Western Turks will come to attack, you will give the Imperial Guard a firm blow. Over Congling Ridge!"

Zhang Shigui said: "The last general takes orders!"

At this moment, Zhang Shigui hesitated and said: "I don't know if you will be the deputy guard of Shule Town!"

Without waiting for Chen Ying to speak, Luo Shixin said: "This deputy guardian envoy can be the one who wants to, anyway, I will return to Chang'an with the chief guard!"

Datang regards the left as the most respected, and the habitual Chen Ying always puts Luo Shixin above General Zuo Xiaoqi, and he is Zhang Shigui's immediate boss.But Chen Ying knew very well that Zhang Huaiwei could barely resist one side, but Luo Shixin was just a fighter, and he couldn't become a guardian envoy who could stand alone. On the contrary, Zhang Shigui was more reliable.

Chen Ying waved his hand and said, "The governor of the capital trusts you. There is no deputy guard in Shule Town, but you are the only guard!"

Zhang Shigui was both happy and uneasy.

At this moment, Chen Ying looked at Ma Zhou and said, "The responsibility of Sima is as heavy as Mount Tai. The Governor of the Western Regions hopes that you will take care of the supply of the three towns. Be sure to ensure the supply of each town!"

Ma Zhou is a smart man, he saw the problem from Chen Ying's abnormal move of setting up three towns.Originally, the Anxi army's supply problem was a unified deployment of the Anxi army, and it is still a unified deployment now. Obviously, this is Chen Ying's countermeasure in response to Li Yuan's upcoming division of the Western Regions Protectorate.

The territory of the Western Regions is too large and there are so many soldiers and horses, the imperial court will definitely not be at ease.After being divided into three, Tingzhou Town, the largest of the three towns in the Western Regions, had only [-] soldiers and horses. In the whole country, it was already regarded as a low-ranking official in the frontier.Of course, the more important thing is that, since then, the Imperial Guard of the Western Regions has been empty. Even if Li Yuan appoints another Imperial Guard of the Western Regions, he will not be able to control the military power of the Anxi Army. As long as Ma Zhou is not replaced, the Anxi Army can firmly control it. In the hands of Chen Ying.

Ma Zhou also heard Chen Ying's hidden meaning. As long as the towns still obey Chen Ying's command, then the food and supplies can be carried out normally. If they dare to repeat, they will not be able to get supplies. However, the soldiers always have to eat Yes, if you don't give them food, don't expect them to work hard.

Chen Ying murmured: "Because the journey is too far away, you should lead the garrisons separately. The Western Regions have been in chaos for too long, and it's time to settle down. If there are no garrisons in various places, I'm afraid this year will not be good!"

Zhang Shigui, Zhang Huaiwei, Duan Zhigan, Su Dingfang and others quickly took orders and left.

Chen Ying turned around and looked at Luo Shidao: "Chang'an is too dangerous, you'd better stay in the Western Regions and return to Chang'an, I'm afraid I won't take care of you!"

Luo Shixin grinned and said: "The dead bird faces upwards, and it will not die for thousands of years. Are you afraid of a ball?"

PS: In the new January, roll around and ask for a guaranteed monthly pass.
