Chastity Layman

  Chapter 1098 Naturalization

   "Conroe!"

  Several Qiang teenagers from the Maiwa Sangli tribe opened the curtain and shouted loudly. Kang Luo raised his head and saw his companions coming in, with a smile on his face, "Keep down, don't make everyone rest."

   This is a hospital in Hequ Tucheng. Most of the wounded soldiers in the war were recuperated here.

   "It's so white and fat that you can't ride a horse anymore!" Several teenagers of the same clan laughed.

  Kang Luo was lucky to survive the great battle. The 100,000 Qiang tribe suffered 40,000 casualties in that battle, and Kang Luo and his 20,000 light soldiers in the Chinese army were almost wiped out. Kang Luo was picked out of the dead after the war, and he was thought to be dead at the time.

   As a result, halfway through the journey, he found that he was still breathing, so he was sent to a medical camp, where the dead horse was treated as a living horse doctor. Who knew that after lying in the hospital camp for a month, he really came back to life, and he was getting better every day, and now he is almost fully recovered.

  Apart from taking off his clothes and making a dozen or so scars on his body look hideous, basically there is no change, no disability or disfigurement.

Compared with the tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers who fell down and never got up again, Kang Luo's luck was much better, and compared to many people who lost their arms and legs, or were blind and rotten, he was also lucky. Also a lot of luck.

  When the young man was joking with his companions, his eyes were no longer as pure as before. After experiencing this life-and-death battle, the young man undoubtedly changed a lot, calmed down and matured, as if he really grew up overnight.

   "Staying here every day, isn't it boring?"

Kang Luo smiled, "It's pretty good here. We eat meals for sick children, four meals a day, yak meat soup and mutton soup at least twice a day, and millet porridge to nourish the stomach." He told his friends with a smile, saying Their sick children’s camp also has a monthly pension allowance. "Our next door is a lot of restaurants and brothels. A few days ago, an uncle from Guoli Department took me to drink flower wine."

   "Have you eaten meat?" Several teenagers asked enviously.

   "Well, the beauty is very good."

   Everyone asked him to explain in detail, but the young man just laughed.

Autumn is coming and winter is coming, the war has gone, but Hequ City is still lively. Not only are there many wounded soldiers here recuperating, but also after the Jingbian army moved here, the new border town of Hequ has become a city surrounded by thousands of people. The trading center of the Baili Qiang people.

  Now this place is very lively, not only in the city of Hequ, but also in the grasslands outside the city, there are tents of Qiang herdsmen everywhere. These are not the original local herdsmen here, but the Qiang people who came to trade, and even the Tuyuhun people.

After the great war last year, Tubo was crushed, and that Zanpu escaped back to Luoxie by chance. It is said that he recruited 250,000 horses when he came out, but only 2,000 people fled back to Luoqie in the end. Save one.

Songtsan Gampo was defeated and fled back to Luoxie. Fearing the conquest by the Tang army, he immediately sent envoys to Songzhou to plead guilty and surrender. Liang, as well as many BMWs, also promised to pay tribute every year in the future, five thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, one thousand horses each, and ten thousand sheep.

  Tubo wishes to be a vassal of the Tang Dynasty from generation to generation and never betray.

  Zanpu even engraved the oath in Chinese characters on gold, silver, jade, copper, iron, stone, and paper to show the sincerity of his oath.

   And Datang side.

Qin Taiwei first sent two Yajun cavalry, Youyi and Tabai, to **** Prince Supi and several old families of Supi, including Niang, Nong, Wei, Cai Bang, etc., all the way south, cross the Yak River and enter Subi. old ground.

Qin Lang established the Subi Central Governor's Mansion in Subi, with five subordinate governors and thirteen prefectures, showing that Prince Supi was the Subi Central Commander, and the five major families of Niang, Nong, Wei, Caibang, and Gar He served as the governor of the five subordinates, and together with the other six families, led the governors of the thirteen states.

  As for Bailan and Domi, Bailan and Zishan Dudufu were also set up separately, and prefectures and counties were designated.

  At the same time when the Bailan and Duomi Qiang soldiers returned to the old tribe, Qin Lang also announced the establishment of military forts and post stations in the two places, and the recruitment of more Qiang troops near the city and side.

  Although they did not directly send troops to attack Tubo, these actions also caused Zanpu to panic, and Su Pi became even more chaotic.

Especially the Niangshi, the largest clan in Supi, this is the very influential old clan of Supi. After being attached to Tubo, it also has great influence in Tubo. If Pu kills them, it is impossible to escape the disaster of extermination.

But now the Tang Dynasty publicly speaks out for the Niang family, saying that Tubo murdered heroes unjustly, and then supported the Niang family to stand on their own, conferring on them as governors, governors, and directly subordinated to the Tang Dynasty. In this case, the Niang family in Tubo is of course I wish, instead of waiting to be liquidated by Zanpu, why not just vote for Tang.

The Niang family was the first to openly stand up against Zanpu for self-reliance, and then the Qiongpo Bangse family in Houzang also declared their allegiance to Datang. After all, both Qiongpo Bangse and his father are in the hands of Datang, and now they are worshiping Datang in two capitals. What about the emperor of Tang and the prince of Jian Guo.

   Civil strife broke out in Tubo, and Qin Lang also sent envoys to Xiangxiong and Nipoluo, asking them to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty and overthrow Tubo, which oppressed them.

In other small states such as Niangbu and Gongbu, Datang also sent some of the nobles of each family from the captives to the two capitals to be the emperor, some stayed in the Jiannan army to serve, and some were sent back to build Tubo. Against the opposition, stand on your own feet.

  Qin Lang's trick of using barbarism to control barbarians is still very effective, and Tubo is now in chaos.

   It is said that Zanpu's order has been out of control. Nobles such as Subi and Houzang rebelled and defected to the Tang Dynasty, and Xiangxiong and Niboluo also severed their alliance with Tubo.

   "When are you going, Kang Luo?"

   "I won't go back." Kang Luo smiled. On the day of the war, Kang Luo once despaired, thinking that he would not survive that day.

   But after the descendant was pulled out from the pile of the dead and recuperated in the camp for sick children in Hequ City for several months, his thoughts changed a lot.

   "I don't want to go back."

   "The mine said that it has reserved a place for you in the transportation team, and even the money for the past few months has been given to your family."

Kang Luo smiled. In the past, he was very attentive and grateful for the transport team driving the horses in the mine. It allowed him to leave his increasingly unhappy home and see the wider world outside. Able to go to Songzhou.

  But for him who has gone through this now, that no longer appeals to him.

   "I have decided, I will stay here and join the Jingbian Army."

"ah?"

   "I also made some meritorious service that day, and now I have recorded meritorious service, and I have also received a meritorious service."

  Qin Lang was good to these Qiang soldiers. According to the standards of the Tang army, he recorded meritorious service. In that battle, 100,000 Qiang soldiers fought against 200,000 Tubo troops. Then the number of enemies killed and captured exceeded 40% of the enemy's army, which is a great achievement.

  Go to battle and get rewards, five ranks on merit.

Of course, the specifics will depend on the performance of each department on the battlefield, the results of the battle, etc., but at that time, Kang Luo and his 20,000 people were like cannon fodder. Almost the entire army was wiped out, but they played a very important role on the entire battlefield. They not only effectively consumed the mediocre soldiers of Tubo, but also successfully lured the Tubo army to adopt the breakthrough tactics of the Chinese army, and finally fell into the strategic trap of the Tang army. among.

   Therefore, in the end, Kang Luo won the honor of rank five, which is also because he was lucky. After all, almost all of the 20,000 people died, and not many survived.

   "Five Zhuan Xun? What kind of official is this, and how much reward can I get?"

   "It is regarded as a fifth-rank cavalry captain, but this is an honor, not an official."

  Kang Luo was originally not even a united soldier of the Qiang tribe.

  Kang Luo has been incorporated into the Qiang Chengpang Army of the Jingbian Army. It is not considered a regular soldier of the Jingbian Army, but an auxiliary fan soldier.

  Have an establishment number, usually like the government soldiers, take turns to be on duty in the Jingbian Army, receive training, guard, and farm. In case of war, they will also be recruited and conscripted, and they will be rewarded for their meritorious service.

  There is no money or food at ordinary times, but when they are on duty, there are rations and some subsidies. In addition to the military food reserves, daily training, and guard expenses, the rest of the military can be distributed by the whole army.

  Basically, they are similar to Fubing, they need to bring their own horses and weapons, etc., but there are also many advantages. For example, they will be Tang soldiers from Tang Dynasty in the future. Not to mention that you can also enjoy some things such as land and pasture, some tax reductions and so on.

   In addition, after making meritorious service, they can be rewarded with honors, rewards with money, food, and honors. In the future, they will even prepare to serve as officials.

  In Kang Luo’s view, now that the Tang Dynasty is so powerful, it would undoubtedly be better to join the Tang Dynasty and become a real member of it, not just a vassal.

   "Kang Luo, do you want to be an official of the Tang family?" The partners asked in surprise.

   "I want to be a general."

   "Dare to think."

"Is there anything I dare not think about? Look at the battle that day. Aren't the leaders of our Qiang people now acting as generals of the Tang Dynasty? There is also that Turkic Yuguni. He is not only a general, but also a swordsman." One of the envoys of the Ninth Army of the South."

One person said, "But I heard that Yu Guni is the adopted son of Qin Guozhong, the Eastern Turkic Khan, and Qin Guozhong is the adopted son of King Zhongwu, so he is also the adopted brother of Qin Taiwei, so Yu Guni wants to call Qin Taiwei." Uncle Wei's, he is from his own family, so of course he can be a military envoy, just like Qin Cunxiao, an envoy of the Zhongwu Army, you look so young, but he is the adopted son of Qin Taiwei, so he can be an envoy of the Zhongwu Army at a young age gone."

However, Kang Luo didn't pay much attention to the words of his partners. He felt that as long as he worked hard, there would always be a chance. Kang Luo, who had experienced the decisive battle of hundreds of thousands of people, was no longer willing to be an ordinary herdsman in his heart. I don't want to spend my whole life driving horses in the cavalry.

  In this life, I don’t want to be able to live as majestic as Qin Taiwei and become the God of War to protect the country, but at least I want to be a real Tang family.
