vampire

Chapter 16 Four-person Team (1)
The vampire took the trouble and started its story again.

In the ancient city of Batiwan, the most powerful is the Rupsen dynasty.Yajashiva, there was a famous Rajput warrior.With his bravery and wisdom, he climbed from a small soldier in the army to the position of commander.He is not the kind of person who sits and enjoys what he gets. While ascending to the throne of commander-in-chief, he started reforming non-stop.While other generals cheered for joy and prayed for thanksgiving when they were resting, he was the opposite. In a sense, he was a reformer of military movements, and he reshaped the art of war.

Instead of doing things in accordance with the routine and existing regulations, he let polymaths and Brahmin ministers use their own experience and judgment to formulate their military research plans, so as to draft some new military management regulations.The original combat planning system was thrown aside one by one by him.He also created an original set of practical combat techniques, such as choosing a battlefield, using cavalry, protecting his own munitions while cutting off the enemy's munitions supply, a series of measures that made others envious.When he finds that the army's weapons are very old and are no longer useful, he will tell the soldiers to replace these old weapons before the battle. Don't wait until you are defeated to update them. That will not help. .Usually, he always came to the training site in person, and when he checked the swords, he found that it was not easy for the warriors to hold the hilts.Although this type of sword has a history of more than 800 years, and was once an all-powerful excellent weapon, it can no longer keep up with the combat situation on the modern battlefield.So, he trained a special troop that used fire bows and arrows, and soon they came in handy to attack the enemy's elephant troop, and won many key battles this time.

"My king, I will give you an instance of his superior judgment before telling this story. Because you are a brave king, you may in some respects follow the actions and measures of General Yajeshiva."

The king listened and snorted, expressing his disdain for it.

One day he discovered that most of the soldiers in the king's army were recruited from North India, commanded and fought by Kashachuya warriors.The reason why Kashachuya warriors have such great military power is because they are relatively old.The energies and abilities of young soldiers are consumed in their endless disputes and chaotic military discipline.At the same time, those high-ranking generals are getting old, and most of them have to be supported by soldiers when they mount their horses. Otherwise, they would never be able to climb on the horses; Just looking at some things nearby.How can such a general be competent?Since they had been serving in the army since they were young and had made great contributions, Yajashiva gave them a pension to spend their old age in peace.When a soldier is actively progressing, fighting bravely, and performing very well, he will allow him the privileges of the warrior class.Of course, he will not use money to encourage soldiers.During his decades in office, he broke many bad military practices and the inertia of soldiers, and many soldiers and generals have been commended by him.In short, it is impossible to describe clearly the scene of his troops defeating every enemy army for a while.

One day, Yajashiva was sitting outside the city gate when he suddenly heard commotion not far away.So Yajashiva asked, "What's the matter, why is there so much noise?" The soldier reported, "A good thing, General. Many people want to come to our country to make a living and get rich. They are sitting at the city gates now, telling many stories about our story."

When Yajashiva heard what the soldier said, there was no joy on his face, and he did not speak.

"There is a traveler from Rajput named Popel who wants us to give him a job," the soldier reported to him. "It's just outside the city, General. If you want, I'll Bring him in."

"Bring it in," Yajashiva said.

The soldiers brought him in and Yajashiva asked, "Rajput, what are you here for?"

"I was once a well-known warrior, and I got this honor in a battle." Pobel replied.

Yajeshiva was used to this kind of self-introduction, and he wanted to test him with some knowledge of weapons, so as to verify whether he was a warrior before.So he ordered his soldiers to give Pobel a sword and let him dance the sword for him to see.He thought to himself: Is this general trying to test me?Immediately, Pobel drew his sword.I saw him holding the hilt tightly with his right hand, pointing the tip of the sword high up in the air, and inserting the scabbard in his left hand into the ground vertically, then shouted loudly, holding the hilt with his left hand, and began to swing it with both hands The sword comes.

"That's right!" Yajashiva applauded and praised non-stop.Afterwards, they talked about some issues related to the war, and Pobel also expressed some of his own views.The soldiers around felt that Pobel was indeed very difficult.Therefore, Yajeshiva decided to recommend him to the king, hoping that the king could appoint him immediately.

At this time, King Rupsen, who was quiet but wise, asked, "Rajput, how much salary do you want to get every day?"

"A thousand ounces of gold a day," Pobel said briskly, "in addition, there are living expenses."

"Do you have an army now?" the king asked in surprise.

"No," Pobel twisted his body, looking unnatural, "There are only four people in my army—wife, son, daughter, and me."

After hearing this, the ministers present turned their heads to one side and burst out laughing. The maids hiding behind the screen couldn't help laughing after eavesdropping, and finally had to cover their mouths with handkerchiefs.

In this way, Pobel was sent out of the court by soldiers.

"Obviously, there is a problem with human beings, but I warn you that you should pay attention to it from now on. A person will always evaluate himself. If he overestimates himself, then many people will think that this person must have a problem. When you Confidently tell others that you are quick-witted, brave, sincere, generous, and capable. After that, people will not believe you immediately, but will only confirm what you said after a long time. One day, you will not be needed Chasing and making others believe in you, others will naturally believe in your ability, so..."

"Don't listen to him," King Vikram said to little Prince Dihavashi.As the prince was listening intently to the vampire, he was left far behind.

"Don't listen to the bastard. Do you think all this stuff you're saying makes sense? You mean humility, humility, sacrifice, and a lot of other so-called good qualities are noble qualities?"

"I... don't know," Betal explained, "What I want to express is that I always learn from the lessons of human beings. Smart people have a ruler in their hearts to measure right and wrong, to measure their own behavior, and know how to measure themselves. Therefore, he never belittles or exaggerates himself, he just does things silently, and wins everyone's recognition and appreciation more and more. Stupid people can only see their own strengths, and the weaknesses of others are always as stupid as themselves Compared with other people, when I found myself inferior to others, I began to give up on myself and embarked on a vicious circle. Now, no matter a man, a woman or a child, as long as I enter a corpse, then he is the luckiest; I understand that there will always be Then one day, I'll belong to that self-righteous donkey..."

"If you say any more, I'll throw you to death!" King Wickram was furious.

Betal hesitated for a long time. He knew the king's violent temper. If he continued to talk, his life might be in danger, so he continued to tell his story.

King Rupsen has never been able to figure out why this Rajput asked me to pay him such a high salary.No one in my kingdom has offered me such a price. Is he really superior?If I really pay him that much, will he be lazy and not work hard for me, or use the money for some improper things.Therefore, the king immediately summoned all the ministers to discuss whether to reuse Pobel.In the end, the king decided to give Pobel a thousand ounces of gold from the military expenditure every day, but there was a condition that he was not allowed to use the money to do things that were not beneficial to the country and the army.

As a result, Pobel really did not disappoint the king and ministers, and he handled so much gold in a very good way.Every morning he always divided the gold into two parts, one part to the Brahmin soldiers and the ministers of Paruchtas (An ancient name for a class of people who specialize in the work of priests, which means the same as "God" or "Priest."); The remaining part is divided into two parts, one part is distributed as alms to poor people and wandering beggars, and the other part is given to worshipers of Sayasis or Lord Shiva, whose whole body is covered with Hui, who was so poor that he had no money to buy clothes, no cloth on his body, and even less protection from the cold when the weather was cold, many people were frozen to death.The little gold left can only provide meals for him and his family. Most of the time, he always distributes his share of meals to the poor, while he eats wild vegetables and the like.Every night, everyone will always see him wearing armor, holding a sword and shield, standing on both sides of the palace no matter how bad the weather is.Whenever the king came out to inspect at night, he would see Pobel on duty.The king often gave him some very strange orders, because the king felt that once he became a soldier, he should obey the orders as his bounden duty. In order to test him, the king told him to do anything at any time; Forgive me, just send me away.Of course, this method of testing soldiers can also be applied when a husband tests his wife's loyalty to him, or when he seeks help from relatives and friends, to test whether they sincerely want to help you.
