Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 518 Military Merit Economy
Yuan Gai Suwen looked at the battlefield with resentment. The well-armored soldiers were very strong in the occasional encounters in the wild.

But what disgusted Yuan Gai Suwen even more was the opponent's amazing performance in the defensive battle relying on the camp.

The defensive facilities originally built by the Tang army were not disgusting to the attacking side, after all, the time was too short.

But even if he concentrated his strength to open the gap in the camp, those full-armored infantrymen holding shields and wearing armor ended up blocking those gaps, and the gaps disappeared.

Because the armor on this soldier was actually stronger than the camp they built.

At least, the temporary camp built by Tang Jun was made of wood, but their armor was made of steel!
Just as his soldiers rushed forward, resulting in a dense formation, Tang Jun seized this opportunity to kill and injure his own soldiers as much as possible.

And his own soldiers couldn't rush up, couldn't retreat, and could only be harvested coldly by the opponent's rain of arrows.

Especially the ship that was as high as a city wall, the condescending shooting from this height made Yuan Gaisuwen very uncomfortable.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't help but feel extremely headache.

After all, only the fleet can fight against the fleet, but Goguryeo's fleet is gone, and there are no naval talents that Goguryeo has finally cultivated.

This made Goguryeo lack a link in terms of arms.

Otherwise, even if Goguryeo's fleet is weaker than Datang's, he would not be so passive if he only restrained the Datang's fleet.

At the same time, the attack power in his hands is quite insufficient.

The strength contraction talent of your own headquarters does not mean that it cannot cause damage to the opponent, but because it cannot exert the charge effect of the cavalry army during the siege battle, and loses the beheading brought by the first strike, the combat power of the entire army will naturally be greatly reduced. .

After all, this is the headquarters war department that I have cultivated with great difficulty, how could it be consumed as cannon fodder.

After all, the current Goguryeo is only the pinnacle kingdom, and even the most resilient group in the pinnacle kingdom.

Compared with Tuyuhun, a second-talented talent, Goguryeo has a much higher foundation than the original Tuyuhun, but even so, Goguryeo is still a kingdom after all, and its foundation is still much worse than that of Tang Dynasty.

At least for Datang, an ordinary two-talented war department can be used as an ordinary pawn in a real fight.

In the country, as long as the talent of the generals is combined with the talent of the army, and the force is expanded by the soldiers, more than a dozen can be exploded in a month.

But Goguryeo is already a leader in the kingdom, but the second talent war department is still a decisive force for them, it is impossible to throw it on the battlefield so casually, because it is not easy to make up.

Yuan Gai Suwen saw that the situation could not be opened after several attacks, so he could only temporarily choose to give up.

Wait until you build more advanced siege equipment or gather more Goguryeo soldiers, and then come to Tang Jun to test the waters.

After all, his blood general talent is good at fighting the meat grinder war of the blood mill, and even if he uses people to pile up, he will pile up the opponent alive.

Therefore, although Yuan Gai Suwen chose to withdraw, he began to prepare for the next war.

It is quite uncomfortable for Yuan Gaisuwen, who controls Pyongyang, for Datang to nail such a nail in Pyongyang.

With the end of the fight, Li Dejian didn't wait long, leaving eight ships for Su Lie to dispatch, and then led the main force of the fleet to evacuate along the coastline.

Of course, everyone knows that the fastest way to go from Goguryeo to Datang is to take the diagonal line at the southwest corner.

It's not that the technology is not enough to distinguish the position, but that as long as it is a normal fleet, it is rare to be so brave.

Even though the Bohai Sea can be regarded as the most stable sea area around China, no one can guarantee whether a strong wind or a heavy rain will cause irreparable damage to the fleet.

And walking along the coastline can basically avoid the dangers brought by the sea to the greatest extent, allowing the fleet to dock on the shore.

After all, Datang's biggest advantage is the advantage brought by sea transportation, and there is really no need for Li Dejian to take too many risks just to be in a hurry.

As for whether there will be time to supply Su Lie, Li Dejian has always lived in Youzhou, and he knows the environment here, at least before October arrives, Li Dejian believes that there will be no delay.

Li Dejian moved forward along the coastline, and the speed of shipping was much faster than that of the army.

At least when he came back, he saw that Beisha City (probably Dalian City) on the coast had been occupied by the Tang army, but the main land of Dalian was still submerged in water at this time, so Beisha City was actually just a small town. An unusually lively town.

Because this city is still very important to Li Tai.

This city has the qualifications to become a port at this time, because by occupying this place, the grain and grass transported by Datang's army by sea can be landed directly from here, which shortens the transportation distance of grain and grass, which naturally improves the security of Datang's army by a few degrees. point.

Of course, Wang Zhenru must be scolding his mother.

Because of the occupation here, Li Tai ordered that the distance along the plank road needs to be strengthened again, and then the project he thought was completed just now will soon be put into a new project again.

Facing Party A, King Wei, what Wang Zhenru can do is to end the joy of completing the project and immediately invest in the new project.

However, for Li Dejian, knowing that the Tang army was going well, he wrote a memorial and handed it over to Li Shimin.

Li Dejian did not dare to stay. After all, the battle of landing in Pyongyang was not the end, so Li Dejian led the fleet and continued westward to Youzhou for supplies.

And after Li Dejian came to Youzhou, or just came to Tianjin, Li Dejian's eyes were a bit incredulous.

Because the current Tianjin is not only not depressed because of the war, on the contrary, Youzhou at this time is extremely lively and prosperous, as if they are unaware of the battlefield that determines the relationship between the two sides of the Bohai Sea.

In fact, the seeds that Li Tai planted in Youzhou finally began to catalyze with the arrival of the war between Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo.

This unprecedented opportunity has brought the Youzhou area a little bit closer to industrialization.

The biggest difference between modern industrial wars and ancient agricultural wars is that industrial wars can completely mobilize national resources, mobilize every class, even every individual, and even every resource in the country.

This is a very terrifying ability, and it is almost like a father fighting a son in an industrialized country fighting an agricultural country.

It is also the reason why modern foreign countries dare not go to war against China, but only dare to invade culture and refine the remote breeding technology.

Because in a real fight, without counting nuclear weapons, it is really necessary to gather the power of the entire foreign country to confront an industrialized country with a population of 13 billion, and it may not be able to win.

Because of World War I and World War II, when a war broke out between real industrial countries and industrial countries, all countries that participated in World War I and World War II, except the United States, which was far away from the war zone, experienced serious generational and anti-war.

Because the war between industrial countries and industrial countries will really drain every drop of resources in their own society until they win in the ruins or perish in despair.

And Li Tai's arrangement for Youzhou naturally cannot reach the resource mobilization ability of industrial countries.

However, Li Tai used his simple industry in Youzhou and the reputation system he established in the army, which was enough to further develop his abilities smoothly.

The Tang army captured Liaodong County. When Li Tai came to the plundered Liaodong County, he immediately told all the soldiers that he would pay you food stamps and money vouchers on the spot for all the things you seized in the war, so that you can keep them.

The soldiers all believed in King Wei, not to mention King Wei's ability to turn stones into gold, and more importantly, Li Tai had done this before, helping them exchange the captured goods into food stamps, and then Exchange food stamps for supplies.

It's just that, this time, after the confiscation is exchanged for food stamps, Li Tai will also provide an additional currency, meritorious service.

Because the country is a military system, except for the armor and horses that are provided by the court, many military supplies are prepared by the soldiers themselves. To some extent, the soldiers are actually a bit like mercenaries of the country.

After each battle, the equipment on these government soldiers has long been worn out, and some are even broken. Even the court can't do anything about it, and they can only use what they captured on the battlefield.

Li Tai sold all kinds of meritorious weapons directly. These weapons could not be exchanged with food stamps or confiscated weapons, but could only be exchanged with meritorious deeds.

The quality of these weapons is much higher than the ones they made in the blacksmith shop. As for the cost, forget it... let's not talk about the cost with Li Tai, after all, the cost of these things is the same as that of standard weapons.

After all, my own things are produced on the assembly line in Youzhou, so how can I talk about the cost.

And because these things cannot be bought and sold with coupons or money tickets, they can only be exchanged for meritorious deeds. In addition, the quality is superior. Basically, they all think that these things carry glory, but they regret why they didn't kill a few more people on the battlefield. .

These soldiers suddenly discovered that many of the things that the king of Wei launched can be exchanged for many good things that cannot be bought with food stamps and money tickets. They can even be exchanged for some common things such as tea and sugar Change to a whole lot.

The only thing that bothers them is that meritorious deeds cannot be traded, because there are records of military exploits, and if they falsify, they will be killed directly.

Therefore, some people without meritorious deeds can only exchange meritorious deeds for something, and then exchange other things for the things they exchanged for meritorious deeds. Generally, they have to pay an additional price difference.

There are only two ways to obtain meritorious service. One is to exchange for meritorious service in proportion to the time of capture. If you want, you can exchange all the captured items for success.

The other is that after killing the enemy, the number of killed enemies recorded in the military judge battle will record additional meritorious deeds.

There are only these two ways for them to obtain meritorious service, and there is no other way.

The reason for Li Tai's operation is very simple. One is to motivate the soldiers to kill the enemy, and make the benefits they bring from killing the enemy concrete and visible. Even on this battlefield, they can be directly exchanged and transformed, so that they can feel the hard work. You will be able to gain.

The second point is the most important. Li Tai felt that the two-end harvesting model brought about by the food stamps and money stamps was too slow to obtain benefits from the soldiers.

So I have to find a way to further share the benefits in their hands and let them become consumers on the battlefield.

Although these rare military weapons have honor blessings, they are essentially no different from other ordinary standard weapons, but by taking advantage of the scarcity of meritorious service, I can further profit from the materials they seized.

At the same time, because of the meritorious service under Li Tai's control, even if Li Taiding died and refused to admit the transaction, in essence, it was still monetized.

Moreover, it exists in the form of credit currency, so it can be regarded as capital, and it is also Li Tai's credit endorsement, which can be regarded as an additional capital injection into Youzhou's industry, so that Youzhou's The whole industry is booming.

As long as the war continues, these soldiers continue to gain meritorious service, and the things they produce are consumed by them, then this vigorous production can be maintained forever.

At the same time, when the war is over, Li Tai only needs to express that these merits are only the merits of this war. If you don’t exchange them, they will be canceled in the future, and they will definitely exchange them.

Then those companies in Youzhou will be able to clean up the consumption of this fake currency, and completely eliminate this hidden danger.

Li Tai used this feat to motivate these soldiers, allowing them to benefit from the war and speed up the efficiency of capital operation.

At the same time, stimulate the development of local industries in Youzhou, and dispatch the resources of the entire country as much as possible to fight the war with Goguryeo.

The plunder of Goguryeo with the help of war further reduced the cost of maintaining the entire system, and even gained excess profits.

When the war is over and these soldiers exchange their meritorious service for materials, the cost of producing the same things for enterprises that have expanded their production capacity will be completely different.

This nihilistic meritorious capital wandered around in his own economic system, and was finally taken back by himself. Although it disappeared in the end, it helped him incubate a number of wartime enterprises and survived in another form.

Of course, the enterprises produced in this way naturally have various problems, and even after the end of the war, many of them will close down due to overproduction.

But that's a matter for the future, Li Tai said that he will find a solution in the future.

After all, the modern economic model, to some extent, is to use a bigger bubble to cover up a big bubble. As long as the bubble doesn't explode in my own hands, then even if there are any hidden dangers, it has nothing to do with me.

At least for the current Datang, in this way, it is a bit exaggerated to say that the resources of the entire Datang are dispatched, but at least the resources of the entire Youzhou are dispatched, and there is no problem.

Because for everyone in Youzhou, they can clearly feel that as the war against Goguryeo by the Tang Dynasty progressed, for some reason, Youzhou began to develop rapidly, and they gradually became rich.

However, Li Tai's operation silenced all the civil servants of the Tang Dynasty who watched Li Tai's operation.

They didn't understand why they saw Li Tai doing this and that with their own eyes, and then as they attacked Liaodong, Youzhou suddenly prospered, and even the soldiers on the front line became enthusiastic, and they all sharpened their knives and looked at him. Goguryeo!
