Become a feudal king from today

Beidi Khan Court. ReadМ

A group of cavalry advanced slowly over the rolling grass hills.

Iron Wood Tower was at the front. When he reached the fence, he dismounted and walked towards the sweat tent.

Withdrawing troops from Tongguan, he led his troops back.

Jinzhou's plan failed, and they could only go south as planned.

"King Yan's soldiers and horses captured Tongguan first?" After listening to Tiemuta's words, Mulehong frowned slightly.

Although he was not completely sure about winning Tongguan, he was still disappointed when he learned that Tongguan had been obtained by King Yan.

Tiemuta looked guilty, "Father, 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 met King Yan." of new firearms.”

"New firearms?" Mulehon frowned.

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

Tiemuta's smile suddenly disappeared.

Mule Hongzhen temporarily forgot about King Yan's new firearms and 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 it is a pity that Jinzhou is here, the good news I brought this time is much more important than Jinzhou."

Tiemuta forced a smile and said, "Could it be that the artillery has something to show for it?"

Ulanba nodded and turned to Mule Hongzhen, "This is what I came to see Father Khan to talk about."

"Is that missionary from some Russian country willing to teach the craftsmen how to forge artillery?" Mullerhonzhen leaned forward, his eyes filled with anticipation.

From this missionary's words, he no longer knew anything about the enemies from the far north.

According to this missionary, the accent of their country's name is similar to that of Rus.

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

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

Rus' monarchs throughout the ages have been advocating eastward march, which is why their armies arrived here.

In the snowfields of the far north, there are now many fortresses they built.

The missionary also talked about some other countries on the continent of Europe, but he was no longer interested.

What he cared about was artillery.

Beidi has unrivaled cavalry, if supplemented with artillery.

No matter what song, Russia or Europa, they will all crawl under his feet.

"Yes, Father Khan, after allowing him to preach in Ningcheng and Jincheng, he was very happy and agreed to the matter. The boy has dispatched a group of craftsmen to him." Ulanba said.

"Hahaha..." Mule Hongzhen laughed.

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

Thinking that it won't be long before Beidi will have the same artillery as King Yan, he finally felt relieved after having been gloomy for several months.

Hearing this, Tiemuta was also shocked.

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 level, there was no need for him to stay there anymore and he was transferred back.

The entire Jinju is now safe and sound.

Just clear away the remaining Xiliang defeated troops in the territory.

"Although the losses were not as heavy as those in Xiliang, the royal army also suffered more than 10,000 casualties this time, including 4,312 killed and 6,100 wounded." Chang Wei said, "But among the wounded soldiers 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 cause casualties to soldiers, and of course there would be diseases.

For example, the malaria mentioned by Chang Wei, in contemporary history, even the emperor could not avoid it during the war between Kangxi and the three vassals.

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

"But fortunately, the army has the royal palace's secret medicine, and most of the injured soldiers have been rescued." Speaking of this, Chang Wei looked at Zhao Xu with a look of reverence.

In the past, at least half of the more than 6,000 injured soldiers would have died, but now only 10% of the soldiers have not survived.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu was a little relieved. Of course, Chang Wei didn't mean that the secret medicine cured malaria, but that it cured the sword wound.

But even so, he was still heartbroken.

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

"The soldiers must be well compensated. If anyone dares to seek personal gain in this matter, don't blame me for being cold-blooded." Zhao Xu said solemnly, "These soldiers sacrificed their lives for Dasong. Their names are They should be remembered, and their families should be treated well, and they should not be allowed to point their fingers at our spines and scold them!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the general will be watching this matter personally and send people to check every house. If anyone dares to give a copper less, the general will tear him to pieces with his own hands." Chang Wei said loudly.

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

"Well, a special pension department will be established in the army to be responsible for the matters of wounded and wounded soldiers. In the future, all ordinary people's families who join the army will be given the title of military dependents and marked on the household registration. Every year during the solar terms, the government will send some Rice, noodles, meat, oil, etc., will continue to be delivered even if the soldier is killed." Zhao Xu said thoughtfully.

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

On the one hand, it also improves 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 modern times, called Xiaochilao.

What is being devalued is the soldiers. The word comes from the tattooing system. In order to prevent prisoners and soldiers from escaping,

In the Dasong Army, soldiers would be tattooed on their faces and painted with cinnabar.

This Xiliang tattooed the face of Mr. Chuang for a reason.

Therefore, the people insulted the soldiers by giving them the word "Chi Lao" to show their contempt.

In his opinion, this low status of soldiers is also the root cause of the Great Song Forbidden Army's war against the five scum.

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

Now, he's going to completely change that.

Soldiers cannot be allowed to work hard and suffer contempt at the same time.

Furthermore, once one becomes famous, thousands of bones will wither.

The history books record the princes, generals and prime ministers, but why did they ever give these ordinary soldiers any pen and ink?

Since he is the King of Yan, he must fundamentally change this.
