Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 370 Change the target
The meat-eaters in the Northern Qi Dynasty did not care about the loss of the navy, and were willing to use the battle as a replacement for training. It is easy to say a word, but for the lower-level sailors, it is thousands of casualties.

However, there is nothing to complain about. Being treated as a soldier by the country for seven years is not just pointing to their desperate efforts on the battlefield to repay.

In the wounded camp, Wang Ajing, who was missing an arm, looked much better, bragging with his comrades about his son who was studying in the state school.

Wang Gongyun was successful at a young age. He passed the Sizhou State Examination for the second time in the imperial examination, and he has the qualifications to be an official. If he goes further, he can even become an official. , After Wang Gongyun won the election, countless matchmakers broke through the threshold. In the end, Wang Ajing followed his son's idea and betrothed him to his sister, who was a classmate in the county school. She was the legitimate daughter of a small noble family in Xin'an County.

As for Wang A Jingkong's left arm, it was lost half a month ago. Facing the Southern Liang soldiers who jumped on the Northern Qi warship, he followed his companions to fight the enemy at close quarters, and fought to the death without retreating. No one in the army called him Wang Kuaileg anymore.

Eight years ago, when Duan Shao rescued Xuzhou, Wang Ajing, as a state and county soldier, took on the task of luring the enemy with a group of forced farmers. As a result, Liang Bing charged, and he ran away, faster than the farmers, so He was ridiculed by the people of Xiangzhou Township as Wang Kuaileg.

There are many Xiangzhou people in the Northern Qi Navy, and this nickname has been spread in the past seven years, especially Wang Gongyun passed the state examination, and more people laughed at Wang Ajing's cowardice and cowardice.

Who would let such a cowardly son with such a high spirit brag in front of others when he has nothing to do?

Being ridiculed by others, Wang Ajing would explain at the beginning that during the Battle of Xuzhou, Duan Shao had already arranged an ambush, and he did not need a bait to show off his momentary bravery.

But as time went by, he no longer refuted, and secretly made up his mind to prove his courage, but he didn't expect that the wait would last seven years.

Now that one hand is broken, Wang Ajing doesn't regret it. He knows that his family is from a generation of mud-legged ancestors. Without Gao Chengxing's cultural education and imperial examinations, his son would never have the glory he is today. Maybe he has joined the army by this time. Be a fighter.

Now that the emperor was humiliated by the Liang people, he chose to fight with the Liang people, and he used this arm to repay Gao Cheng's kindness.

"Wang Ajing!"

The head of the wounded barracks walked up to Wang Ajing, interrupted him and the newly wounded soldier bragging about his son, handed over a piece of paper, and said:
"When I return to Xin'an County, I will hand it over to the county government. Even if I leave the army, I don't need to pay the exemption money. Remember to go to the county government to receive a pension every autumn."

Wang Ajing received the so-called disability certificate with his remaining right arm, and the head of the wounded barracks turned around and continued to distribute it to the rest of the people, leaving him sighing.

Emperor Daqi was really kind to them. When he listened to his son reciting poems, there was a saying, "If you join the army at fifteen, you will return at eighty" which made him think he would stay in the army until he was 80. Only then did the Chinese officials know that Gao Cheng, who was still the king of Qi at that time, had already ordered that those who reached the age of fifty should leave the army and return home.

Gao Cheng's move was not all about his sympathy for the soldiers. Since he had the military salary, the cost of raising soldiers was there, especially for the soldiers. There was not only the military salary, but also the food and clothing for a year. On a strong man.

For people like Wang Ajing who retired due to disability, Gao Cheng would not ignore them no matter how hard he searched.

Even though these people could obtain a certain income by subletting the allocated land, Gao Cheng still ordered the local government to provide them with one-year rations as pensions after the autumn harvest every year.

Gao Cheng was supported by the soldiers and often won battles. Accumulating prestige is only one of them. The most important thing is to seek these benefits for them. During the process of replacing Wei, it is strange that the army went into trouble.

Wang Ajing carefully put away the documents, he was not greedy for the pension, with Wang Gongyun around, he didn't need support from the court.

This document proved to be a proof of his courage. Wang Ajing decided to leave the barracks tomorrow and go to his hometown Yecheng first to show those who had ridiculed him whether Wang Ajing was a coward.

"Enlisted in the army at fifteen, and returned at eighty." He was indeed conscripted as a state and county soldier at the age of 15, and he has been in the army for almost 30 years. It stands to reason that after a few more years of hanging around, he will be able to retire and enjoy life. , but state and county soldiers have a way of fooling around, and soldiers need to have the determination to die. When they are old, it is rare to be impulsive. Although they lost an arm, they managed to save their lives.

On the same day, Wang Ajing made an appointment with several disabled soldiers from Hebei to return home together. In the early morning of the next day, the three of them left the barracks together with documents in their arms.

When I arrived at the foot of Runan City, I happened to see the soldiers and civilians who followed the Emperor Daqi to the south, stationed outside the city.

At this time, Gao Cheng was holding a military meeting in the city.

Now the confrontation between the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Southern Liang Dynasty is limited to the naval divisions fighting on the Huai River, and the battle between infantry and cavalry will not start on a large scale until the river is crossed.

It is not difficult to cross the Huaihe River, but if it is impossible, you can go around it. What really bothered Gao Cheng was that he heard the news that Xiao Yan not only dispatched [-] land and water troops to defend Huainan for Xiao Yuanming, but also blocked the river with thousands of warships on the Yangtze River, forming a Second line of defense.

The Huaihe River can be circumvented, but the Yangtze River cannot be circumvented.

Now my own navy has been repeatedly taught by Nanliang Navy on the Huai River, and I am afraid it will be even worse when they go to the Yangtze River. After all, the Huai River water battle and the Yangtze River water battle are two different things. The water surface of the Yangtze River is wider and the current is more rapid.

"Your Majesty, I think that this battle should end with taking Huainan. As for Jiangnan, it is better to wait for the navy to get familiar with the river before making any plans."

Duan Shao suggested.

Before the war, we all knew that there was a gap between the two navies, but after seven years of training, we thought it would not be too big, but after actual combat, we realized that we were lagging behind in all aspects.

In fact, Gao Cheng had already considered taking all of Huainan as the goal of this battle after hearing about the hip-pull performance of the Northern Qi Navy. Later, he learned that Xiao Yan's second line of defense on the Yangtze River did not have the ability to cross the river. thoughts.

Hou Jing was able to cross the river first with 20 riders, thanks to the relaxation of vigilance by Xiao Yan and others. Gao Cheng now leads 15 soldiers on land and water, and [-] soldiers from prefectures and counties are heading south. Do not make arrangements on the Yangtze River.

At this moment, Duan Shao gave a step, so Gao Cheng took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey and asked the other generals who participated in the military discussion. Everyone also felt that it is not suitable to cross the south of the Yangtze River when the navy is not ready for use.

After all, there are 35 troops, 60 civilians, and a total of nearly one million people. Even if Liang people can sneak across the Yangtze River when Liang people are not prepared, how will the logistics be done?

It is the practice of tens of thousands of partial teachers to feed on the enemy by fighting to support the war. It is a fantasy for nearly a million people to feed on the enemy.

　I definitely can’t finish writing 1 within today, and I have to rush to work in the early morning to finish writing. I owe everyone a red envelope. If I don’t finish writing the remaining 8 before 8000:200 in the morning, I will record another red envelope, a red envelope of 12, the same as before Make up a thousand, or send it together on the [-]th of next month.

　　The old group is full. I will expand the group before sending out red envelopes. If you want to join the group, you can go to the new group temporarily. The group number is 897078303.
