Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 327

[Chapter 327 Beidi’s Information]

Beidi Khan Court.

A troop of cavalry moved slowly across the rolling grass hills.

The iron wooden tower was at the front, and before reaching the fence, he got off his horse and walked towards the sweat tent.

When he withdrew his troops from Tongguan, he led them back.

Jinzhou’s plan failed, and they had to go south as planned.

“The soldiers and horses of King Yan won the Tongguan first?” Mu Lehong frowned lightly after hearing Tiemu Tower’s words.

Although he was not fully sure about winning Tongguan, he was still very disappointed when he learned that Tongguan was obtained by King Yan.

Tie Muta looked guilty, “Father Khan, we underestimated King Yan’s soldiers and horses. We didn’t expect them to win so smoothly. Now it seems that artillery is too important in the war, and this time I also saw King Yan New firearm.”

“New firearm?” Mu Lehong frowned.

At this moment, a guard in front of the tent suddenly came in, “Khan, King Ulanba has arrived.”

Tiemuta’s smile disappeared immediately.

Mu Lehongzhen temporarily put aside the matter of King Yan’s new firearms, nodded to the guards, the guards went out, and Ulanba walked in.

Seeing Tiemuta, Ulanba stepped forward and hugged Tiemuta, and said with a smile: “Brother, although Jinzhou is a bit pity, the good news I brought this time is much more important to Jinzhou.

” Squeezing out a smile, he said, “Could it be that the artillery has some clues?”

Ulanba nodded, and turned to Mule Hongzhen, “This time I came to see Father Khan to talk about this.”

“What Ross is that from?” Are the missionaries in China willing to teach the craftsmen the method of casting cannons?” Mu Lehong leaned forward, his eyes full of anticipation.

From the mouth of this missionary, he is no longer ignorant of the enemy from the far north.

According to the missionary, the accent of their country’s name is similar to that of Ross.

The current monarch of the country is called Nicholas the Great.

The place where the capital of the Rus Kingdom is located is called the continent of Europa.

The monarchs of the Rus Kingdom have been promoting the eastward movement, which is why their army arrived here.

On the snowfields in the extreme north, there are many fortresses built by them.

The missionary also spoke of some other countries in Europa, but he was no longer interested.

What he cares about is the artillery.

Beidi has iron cavalry that is invincible in the world, if it is supplemented with artillery.

Whatever the great song, Rose or Europa, will prostrate at his feet.

“Yes, Father Khan, after he was allowed to preach in Ningcheng and Jincheng, he was very happy. He agreed to this matter, and the boy has dispatched a group of craftsmen to him.” Ulan Ba said.

“Hahaha…” Mu Lehong really laughed.

For more than two months, Beidi treated the missionary as a distinguished guest, and now he finally warmed up this stone.

Thinking that it would not be long before Beidi would have the same cannon as King Yan, his mood that had been gloomy for several months finally eased up.

Tiemu Pagoda was also shocked when he heard this.

But while he was happy, he was also a little sour.

…

Yancheng.

When Chang Wei came back, he sent the battle report to the palace.

After winning the same pass, there was no need for him to stay there, he was transferred back.

The whole of Jinju is now safe and sound.

You only need to pay off the remaining Xiliang soldiers in the territory.

“Although there were not as many losses as in Xiliang, the army of the royal family also suffered more than 10,000 casualties this time, of which 4,312 were killed and 6,100 were injured.” Chang Wei said: “But among the casualties There are also some non-combat attrition, and many soldiers have malaria.” Chang Wei sighed.

Zhao Xu nodded. In ancient wars, snakes, rats, insects, ants, heat and cold would all cause casualties to soldiers, and of course diseases.

For example, the malaria in Chang Wei’s mouth, in contemporary history, in the war of Kangxi Ping San Francisco, even the emperor could not avoid it.

It can be seen that the situation among the soldiers is even worse.

“Fortunately, the army has the secret medicine of the palace, and most of the wounded soldiers have been rescued.” Speaking of this, Chang Wei gave Zhao Xu a respectful look.

In the past, at least half of the more than 6,000 wounded soldiers would have died, but now only 10% of the soldiers have survived.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu was a little relieved. Of course, what Chang Wei meant was not that the secret medicine cured malaria, but that it healed sword wounds.

Even so, he was still distressed.

After all, the lives of more than 5,000 soldiers will remain on the land of Jinzhou forever.

“The pensions of the soldiers must be done well. If anyone dares to seek personal gain in this matter, don’t blame the king for being cold-blooded and ruthless.” Zhao Xu said solemnly, “These soldiers sacrificed their lives for Da Song. Their names They should be remembered, and their families should be treated kindly, and they should not be allowed to point at our spines and scold us!”

“Don’t worry, Your Highness, I will personally watch this matter and send people to check it out. If you dare to give less than one copper, the general will tear him up with his own hands.” Chang Wei said loudly.

On this matter, he supported King Yan ten thousand times.

“Well, there is a special compensation department in the army, which is responsible for the casualties of soldiers. Also, in the future, anyone who joins the army in the common people’s family will be given a special title of military family, which will be marked on the household registration. Every year, the government will send some Even if the soldier is killed in battle, such things as rice, noodles, meat and oil should continue to be sent.” Zhao Xu said in a deep voice.

On the one hand, this is to strengthen the care of the soldiers’ families.

On the one hand, it is also improving the status of soldiers.

In Dasong, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, Dasong soldiers have a derogatory name that is the same as in contemporary times, called Xiao Chi Lao.

The ones who belittle are the soldiers. This word comes from the tattooing system. In order to prevent prisoners and soldiers from escaping,

the Daeong Army will tattoo and paint cinnabar on the faces of soldiers.

There is a reason why Xiliang tattooed Gongzi’s face.

Therefore, the common people insultingly gave the word “Chilao” to the soldiers, expressing their contempt.

In his opinion, the low status of this kind of soldiers is also the root cause of the five dregs of the Dasong Imperial Army War.

Chang Wei also mentioned tattooing when establishing the royal army, but he refused.

Now, he’s going to change that completely.

While the soldiers cannot be made to work hard, they are also despised.

Furthermore, one will become famous and ten thousand bones will die.

The records in the history books are about princes and generals, why did they give these ordinary soldiers some pen and ink.

Since he is the king of Yan, he will fundamentally change this.
