Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 194 Fu Yulong

"Sangqiu, get a pen and paper, I want to write a letter to Governor Liu!"

Sibi City.

"The reinforcements are all old and young? Sure enough, there are treacherous ministers in the court, and they are doing such nonsense!" The letter paper trembled violently with Liu Renyuan's arm, as if he was angry at this time: "The soldiers ahead have fought hard for several years, and finally the battle situation is slightly improved." Turning the corner, to be so irresponsible to state affairs, treacherous minister, treacherous minister!"

"Could this be a misunderstanding?" Du Shuang asked, "Even if there is a villain in Yingguo today, he wouldn't dare to deceive Shengcong, would he?"

"This is written by San Lang himself. Could there be a fake?" Liu Renyuan slammed the letter paper on the case: "If you don't believe it, you can read it for yourself!"

Liu Rengui was speechless. He picked up the letter, read it carefully for a while, and sighed: "I probably know what's going on!"

"What's going on?" Liu Renyuan asked.

"Please read, Commander, what Wang Canjun wrote here is very clear, these reinforcements are not government soldiers, but recruits!"

"Recruitment?"

"Yeah!" Liu Rengui sighed: "In my opinion, this matter is probably the Holy One's intention!"

"What does His Majesty mean?" Liu Renyuan became more and more confused the more he listened: "Liu Inspector, don't talk nonsense, why would Your Majesty send a group of old people and children to support us?"

Liu Rengui smiled and explained.It turns out that when modern people refer to the military system of the government, they will emphasize its characteristics of "integration of soldiers and farmers", "working in agriculture in peacetime, and joining the army in wartime". , who joined the army during the war.The reason is very simple. With the poor productivity and taxation level at that time, it was impossible to support enough full-time soldiers. Unless it was an island country with few foreign enemies like Japan, most of the soldiers must also be farmers, otherwise they would be given a numerical advantage. conquered by the armies of neighboring countries.

The biggest difference between the Fubing system and other military systems is that its members come from the upper-middle class with economic and political privileges, so they have better soldiers, better equipment, and better training during the slack period.Under this military system, the lower classes of society were normally exempt from military service.Since ancient times, mobilizing and recruiting troops has been tabooed by the lord. With today's shrewdness and ability, no matter how bold the ministers of the DPRK and China are, they dare not do things like recruiting troops privately.

"Inspector Liu is right!" Du Shuang also stood by Liu Rengui's side this time: "There must be some misunderstanding. Wang Canjun didn't understand the matter clearly, so just writing a letter is a bit frustrating!"

"It's true that Wang joined the army!" Liu Rengui said with a smile: "He is a soldier Cao joined the army, and he is in charge of military affairs. Is there any reason not to report it when he sees it? It's just that the governor must consider the interests, otherwise if it is really the emperor's intention, the governor If you write the letter rashly, I'm afraid it will offend the emperor and cause a catastrophe!"

"That's right!" Liu Renyuan also understood at this time, he bowed his hands to Liu Rengui: "Thank you brother Zhengzheng for your suggestion, then what do you think should be done?"

"Wang Canjun's letter said that the commander of the reinforcements was Sun Renshi, who was left behind because he encountered the Japanese fleet. Why don't we wait for him to go ashore and discuss the next step together before making a decision!"

"Well, okay, this is a good idea, so let's wait for a few more days!" Liu Renyuan also heard Liu Rengui's meaning at this time, no matter how Sun Renshi is, since he came to Baekje, everyone is on the same boat , As long as you declare your interests, many things can be explained clearly.At that time, writing to the court together was not Liu Ren's intention to be alone, but the common opinion of the frontline generals. Even the emperor would have a very different attitude towards it.

The sea makes Fu Yulong sick to his stomach.

He was not afraid of death. In the first half of his life, he was always accompanied by danger and death. There were always shadows of daggers behind the curtains of the palace, and poison was often hidden in the fine wine in the cup. The palace may be the most dangerous place in the world. The place.From birth, he was thrown into a never-ending contest against his brother for the prize of succession to the Baekje throne.In the end, Fu Yulong won the victory and became the prince of the Baekje Kingdom.The arrival of the Tang people turned Fu Yulong's victory into a vile joke—all the royal family members in the capital were loaded on ships and escorted to the other side of the ocean, becoming the spoils of war for the Tang people to show off their martial arts.

Fu Yulong will never forget the scene when he boarded the boat. The women were crying, their hair was loose, they tore their clothes, and sprinkled dust on their heads; Someone threw his child into the sea, and he jumped off. The always strong and strong father lay silent on the stretcher, like a puppet. Only his trembling fingers revealed that he was still conscious, but he had to force his face Laughing, perfunctory with the escort Tang.

After landing, it was a long journey and a humiliating victory ceremony. His elderly father passed away shortly after the victory ceremony. Before he died, he only said a word to Fu Yulong: "Forget everything and live!"

Just when Fu Yulong was about to start his new life in Luoyang, an imperial decree threw him back into the torrent of fate: the emperor of the Tang Dynasty appointed him as the governor of Xiongjin Governor's Mansion, the king of Baekje County, and led the army to go to Baekje.It is difficult to describe Fu Yulong's astonishment in words at that time. Just when he was about to forget the past and live as an ordinary person in Luoyang, the big hand of fate threw him back to his homeland, like a polo in a stadium.

"The county king doesn't need to worry!" Tang Jun general Sun Renshi comforted him: "The rebellious thieves are shaking their hearts right now, as long as the king's master arrives, they will surely fall apart and scatter like birds and beasts!"

"Then everything depends on General Sun!" Fu Yu Long said with a strong smile.There were [-] recruits on the same ship, and most of them had never seen the sea.When the ship sailed away from the port, Fu Yulong saw people flocking to the side of the ship, kowtowing towards the receding mountains and land. Many people were sobbing while kowtowing. Fu Yulong knew that these people were making the final farewell to their homeland—— They felt that this was the last time they saw this piece of land. Seeing all this, Fu Yulong couldn't help feeling a sense of joy in his heart.

In the next few days, Fu Yulong could barely eat anything, even if he forced himself to swallow it, the food would not stay in his stomach for long, other than that, the situation was not bad, his room was cleaned every day , the air on the deck is even more fresh, there are seagulls chasing the mast of the ship, like a group of paper harriers tied to the mast by invisible threads.

But this situation did not last long, the clear sky turned gray, the wind and waves became bigger and bigger, the ship became more and more bumpy, the sailors had to lower half of the sails, and the speed of the ship began to slow down , and sometimes even ask people to paddle below the deck.There was nothing Fu Yulong could do about it all, he could only curse to himself what he saw: the dark clouds, the wind, the waves, and the lazy oarsmen.But the expected destination is still far away, and only the gray sky and gray blue sea are in sight.
