Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 118

[Chapter 118 Hot Blood]

The breathing of soldiers can be heard in the quiet of the school grounds.

Especially the soldiers near the table were breathing heavily and their eyes were shining.

“Waiting, this is what you deserve. If you hadn’t risked your life to join the Beidi army, I don’t know how many soldiers’ lives would have to be sacrificed to capture him.” Zhao Xu said.

Chen Hu nodded.

If it weren’t for them at that time, more than a thousand people like myself would have all died in battle before the reinforcements arrived.

He was not at all jealous of these rewards.

The other generals nodded one after another, also recognizing their achievements.

Sun Qiang and the others were still in agitation. Among the six of them, three were from former county soldiers.

Before, these ordinary soldiers from farming families had no chance of promotion in the army. Even if they made contributions, they would often be snatched away by their superiors.

It’s not bad that I can buy a jar of wine with a few copper coins.

But now, not only have they been promoted to three levels in a row, each of them has also received one thousand taels of silver and ten acres of fertile land.

This simply allowed them to climb from the bottom of Yan County to a middle-class wealthy family.

“It is our honor to serve His Highness. In order to repay His Highness, we are willing to follow His Highness with loyalty and life forever.” Among the six people, Yu Fang shouted. He could read some words and was better at speaking than the others.

General Chang Wei smiled when he heard this.

Zhao Xu nodded with a smile, and picked up a glass of wine, “I don’t say anything, it’s all in the wine.” The

serving soldiers filled the six people with wine, and the six raised their bowls and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking, the six returned to their tables.

As soon as they sat down, the soldiers at the same table immediately pulled them to drink, causing a commotion.

Chang Wei glanced at them, and said to Zhao Xu: “Your Highness, soldiers have been promoted three ranks in succession due to their meritorious service in battle, which is also rare in the Imperial Army.”

Liu Fu echoed: “I agree with this point. Whether in the officialdom or in the army, generals are basically controlled by wealthy families. The descent has something to do with it.”

Zhao Xu looked at the soldiers all over the school field, and nodded slowly.

He is naturally aware of Da Song’s current maladministration, so this time he intends to use this to shape the military style of the royal family’s pro-military forces.

It’s the same as the people who were trapped by the wealthy clan.

Their life is like a pool of stagnant water, without hope.

And after he gave them hope, the people played an important role in this autumn hunting.

On the frontal battlefield, he defeated the people of Beidi, but in the secondary battlefield in the countryside, the people also fought well.

In the past two days, statistics have been sent in continuously. Thousands of Beidi cavalrymen were killed by rural soldiers in the countryside. The villages are sending in the captured horses, armor and weapons one after another.

the same way.

In the army, soldiers also need hope.

He wanted the soldiers to see a path to climb.

Rather than the stagnant military environment no matter how heroic they are.

“This king must not allow such a thing to happen in this king’s army. We must give the soldiers a way to rise. Soldiers who have made contributions in this battle, you should make statistics and reward them according to their merits. As for The generals who flinched during the war should be taken down, and the soldiers should be punished, punished.” Zhao Xu said emphatically.

He rewarded Sun Qiang and the six in front of everyone just to set an example.

It is to pave the way for the following comprehensive rewards and punishments.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Chang Wei replied.

Zhao Xu went on to say: “There are also soldiers who died in this battle and were seriously injured and disabled. The army and the government should take care of them. You two discuss it and hand over the method to this king.”

Liu Fu and Chang Wei Ju all answered yes.

After leaving these words, Zhao Xu picked up the wine bowl and walked towards the school grounds.

When he came to a table of soldiers, he picked up the wine bowl and said, “Everyone has worked hard, I respect you, but with so many tables, I can only take a sip to express my heart, otherwise I am afraid I will die of drunkenness.”

The soldiers were drinking and eating meat when Zhao Xu’s sudden arrival surprised them all and stood up one after another.

When Zhao Xu said he wanted to respect them, they blushed even more excitedly, not knowing what to say.

Seeing Zhao Xu like this, Chang Wei and others got up and followed behind.

The king of Yan treated the soldiers so kindly, and they were deeply moved.

“Don’t stand still, drink up.” Chang Wei said with a smile to the soldiers.

The soldiers regained their composure, and one soldier boldly said: “We have done it, Your Highness can do whatever you want.”

After that, ten people drank it all in one gulp.

Zhao Xu laughed, patted the nearest soldier on the shoulder, and said, “Okay, fighting is good, and drinking is also good.”

After speaking, he went to the next table.

At this time, all the soldiers who sat down turned their eyes to King Yan, and the surging excitement in their hearts could not be dispelled for a while.

And the soldiers at other tables saw King Yan toasting to the soldiers table by table.

The soldiers who didn’t have their turn all drank and ate meat as usual, but their hearts were full of expectations.

They didn’t feel satisfied until King Yan came and let them drink a bowl too.

In the huge school field, Zhao Xu moved from the first table to the last table.

From noon to evening, all the soldiers did not leave, and he returned to his table.

At this time, he said to the soldiers: “The battle is won, the banquet is eaten, and rewards will be given for meritorious service in the next few days, but don’t forget the soldiers who died at the hands of the Beidi people, and don’t forget that the Beidi people are still alive.” Keep an eye on us in the north, but don’t be afraid, after today, you will train hard, and Beidi will come back in the future, and this king will lead you to another victory.”

The pride that the generals and soldiers had just bred because of the victory was extinguished by Zhao Xu’s words.

Yes, they just won a small autumn hunt.

Moreover, this is because Beidi people are arrogant and fell into a trap.

In the north, the powerful Beidi people will not be hurt by this small failure.

But as King Yan said, they are not afraid anymore.

The myth of Beidi’s invincibility has been shattered in their hands.

“Your Highness is mighty!”

“Your Highness is mighty!”

“…”

Because of the wine, the blood of the soldiers made their hearts even hotter, and they shouted loudly.

This is the respect for King Yan from the heart, and it is also a spur to himself.

The setting sun is like blood.

King Yan was already drunk after drinking a table.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Chang Wei sent someone to bring a carriage from the palace to take King Yan back.

“Tatatata…” The

carriage was driving on the dim streets of Yancheng, and the people on the road saw that it was King Yan’s guards, they stepped aside one after another and watched the carriage pass with smiles on their faces.

Life in Yancheng has completely recovered, and their fear of Beidi people has disappeared because of this battle.

Vaguely, they thought in their hearts that as long as King Yan was around, they would be able to defeat the Beidi people again.

Xu Lie was beside the carriage.

Vendors yelled lazily, and the laughter of young children chasing and fighting came from time to time.

Now Yancheng doesn’t look like it just went through a big battle.

But at this moment, an exclamation suddenly sounded.

“His Royal Highness, be careful!”
