Tang's dining table

As long as the officials of the Tang Dynasty who have reached the rank of minister, even if they are given the position of prime minister, they can continue to work stably. It is difficult to find a breakthrough from them.

The purpose of giving Zhang Donghai a chance of 30,000 taels of gold was to tell Yun Chu that I had taken away 18,000 of your 30,000 taels of gold, and I had taken it openly. You must take this loss. eat.

Ever since Yunchu heard about the thirty thousand taels of gold, he knew that he had a strong handle on it.

When I got the paperwork, it turned out to be true.

Five or six thin pieces of paper were filled with dirty information about Yun Chu, his deputy commander, army commander, marching commander, and thirty-six different captains.

There is nothing that can be done about it. What the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty want when they go out to fight is nothing more than military glory and money and food. Yun Chu has to be responsible for the entire army, Zhang Donghai has to be responsible for his subordinates, and the Army Sima has to be responsible for his subordinates. Marching Chang Shi also has a group of bosses under his command. As for the captains of Zhechong, they even have money boxes ready.

When the official position reaches the level of Lieutenant Zhechong, who doesn't have one or two caravans following the army?

Therefore, when Yunchu led his army from Chang'an, he was leading a large-scale caravan into the southwest. When he entered the southwest, Yunchu issued an order to isolate Datang from the surrounding tribes. The purpose The purpose is to vacate the market for the caravans he brought so that he can make money.

When the military does business, it is inevitable to deceive and dominate the market. Sometimes lawsuits involving human lives are common. No matter how powerful the gangster is, it is not impossible to do business without capital.

Basically, Yun Chu's incident of breaking Wenshu Monastery can be classified into this category.

Whether the army is guilty or not does not depend on how many bad things he has done, but on whether he has completed the military tasks assigned by the emperor. Once he has completed it, as long as he has not done something that is outrageous and resentful, the emperor will pretend not to see it.

If you lose the battle, it will be completely over, and whatever the dog pulls will be yours.

The Baiqisi of the imperial court was not blind. Yun Chu led the troops to the expedition. At present, a visible victory was in sight. Although Sheng Luopi was strong, in the eyes of all Tang people, he still could not withstand the thunderous blow of Yun Chu, the famous general of the Tang Dynasty!

In view of the principle that the victor should not be blamed, those damn civil servants, after hearing that Yun Chu had massacred the entire Cuan clan, decisively swallowed up the money that was supposed to be distributed to Yun Chu.

The only price they paid was to give up investigating the messy crimes committed by Yunchu's army.

It was a common practice for the Tang army to make mistakes, especially if the troops who returned from hundreds of battles were not guilty of being beheaded, this would make it difficult for the emperor to award rewards.

Yun Chu didn't care. Anyway, he had never been free of guilt. From the time he became an official, he had barely received the royal salary for two or three years. If he had more guilt, he would just be fined for a few more years of salary, which was not a big deal.

It's different for the people below. It would be very sad for them if the military merit they earned at the cost of their lives was canceled or downgraded due to some bad things.

Whether you can keep the merits of your subordinates and whether you can lead them to make a fortune is the key to the success of the three armies.

As for fighting, it is simple. Today's Zhechong captains in the important areas of Guanzhong in the Tang Dynasty are basically people who have been killed from the sea of ​​​​blood in the Corpse Mountain. They naturally know how to fight, especially when faced with a situation that can be won without the joint operation of a large army. Southwest barbarian chieftain.

After all, He Shilang stayed in the army. According to him, it was not easy to come to the southwest from Luoyang. He also shouldered the heavy responsibility of observing the army, so it was naturally impossible for him to leave at this time.

However, on the first day he spent the night in the military camp, he was so frightened that he fainted, and his urine and feces became a big joke in the army.

However, not many people laughed at him. Even a tough guy in the army would probably pee and poop if he suddenly found a half-meter-long centipede next to his ear and leaping towards his face when he woke up from sleep.

The poisonous dragon belonged to Princess Anding, and Princess Anding always liked to play tricks on people. After He Shilang woke up, although he was not frightened into a madman by the poisonous dragon, he was unwilling to stay in Yunchu's army no matter what.

On a remote sunny slope, in addition to many cattle and sheep from the Cuan family, there were 704 Tang Dynasty dandies sitting cross-legged.

Yunchu also sat cross-legged on the sunny slope, looking at the group of teenagers in front of him with a smile. Similarly, the teenagers also looked at their commander with their heads held high.

"If you eat grass roots, you can do Pepsi! I would like to ask you if grass roots are delicious?"

"tasty!"

Listening to everyone's inconsistent answers, Yun Chu smiled again and said, "Are you proud of having achieved unparalleled achievements?"

"Don't dare to be proud..."

Yun Chu said with a smile: "Why don't you dare to be proud? Could it be that your military exploits are fake?"

"It's true!"

"Hahaha, this time the answer was very neat. It seems that he has really achieved military exploits. In fact, military exploits don't matter. At least in my eyes, it's not a big deal. The only thing that makes me proud is that , I have selected another 700 real heroes for Datang!

You have endured a lot of suffering, a lot of suffering that you can't even imagine. I don't want to say that you conquered the barbarians. I just want to say that you conquered the southwest forest.

Now tell me, are you still afraid of the forest in the southwest? "

The young men looked around, and then said with firm eyes: "Don't be afraid!"

Yun Chu smiled, very proudly, and pointed at the vast forest sea and said: "Are you willing to protect this territory that you have conquered?"

When a group of young people heard what Yun Chu said, some said yes, some hesitated before saying yes, and many chose to remain silent.

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "The southwest will officially belong to the territory of the Tang Dynasty from now on. The imperial court will establish seventeen military states here. In other words, there will be seventeen governors, seventeen special commanders, and seventeen judges. There are seventeen Zhechong captains, thirty-four Guoyi captains, and no less than 800 official official positions with various names.

Don’t you want to get it? "

Di Guangsi stood up first and said to Yun Chu: "May I ask, Commander-in-Chief, if a subordinate wants to stay in the southwest, what position should he start from?"

Yun Chu glanced at his fat apprentice and smiled and said, "It depends on whether you live up to your expectations or not. If you can be a Jinshi in Qiuwei High School this year, plus your military merit, and if you have a stronger mouth, you are willing to marry the daughter of Pei Xingjian's family. , I am going to find you a fifth-grade Ningzhou don’t be a fool."

Di Guangsi glanced at his companions present and said worriedly: "Commander, can these words be said in public?"

Yun Chu waved his robe sleeves and said: "They are all under my command, and they are all good boys who are willing to obey military orders. To me, they are no different from you...

Guys, listen to what I say, you should weigh it yourself and see if what I say is right.

As far as I know, there are no vacant positions in Chang'an to place you. Similarly, there are no vacant positions in Luoyang. There may be some in Guanzhong, and there are some in Heluo. However, before you can truly enter the eyes of His Majesty, the Crown Prince, and the Queen, these positions are the same as those in Luoyang. You have nothing to do with each other.

The good places in the ten realms of the world have long been occupied by the previous meritorious deeds. If you want it, you have to wait. Maybe you have not thought that military merit has a time limit. Take it out now to take care of things. After this period, you will take it out. Maybe it won't work that well...

The southwest is great, with good mountains and rivers. Since the Tang Dynasty is going to be included in the territory, it is inevitable for people to migrate here from Shu, which has a huge population.

In Chang'an, even if you work hard for ten years, you may not be promoted to a position commensurate with your achievements, but in the southwest, it is a blank land, and the level of official position depends on how capable you are..."

Throughout the morning, Yun Chu discussed with 700 young people where it would be most cost-effective to become an official. After Yun Chu's analysis, more than 70% of the young people were willing to stay in the southwest and serve as local officials.

The rest had to go back to Chang'an or Luoyang no matter what. Some even said that they would rather serve as alternate officials in Chang'an and Luoyang than stay in the southwest as officials.

Yun Jin and Wen Huan are the most obvious examples.

Yun Chu had a lot to say to his disciples this time, but seeing Li Si running down the grassy slope crying, Yun Chu knew that no matter what he said at this time, Yun Jin wouldn't listen.

Seeing Li Si pass him and fly into Yun Jin's arms, Yun Chu had no choice but to drag Wen Huan, Di Guangsi and Li Chengxiu to go somewhere else.

"You stayed in the southwest because of a barbarian woman named Ziqi Aguo?"

Yun Chu turned to look at Wen Huan and said, "You bitch always has a big mouth, how come you don't leak anything this time?"

Di Guangsi said: "We committed evil in the southwest, so we should stay in the southwest to atone for our sins. There is nothing to say about this."

Wen Huan said: "Your disciple does not need to rely on whose daughter he marries to be the one who shines on the door. It should be the disciple who is lucky enough to marry you. She will raise chickens and dogs to heaven."

Li Chengxiu said: "If a manly man returns to the bedroom and sees his wife, he is still uninterested. What do you think such a wife wants from her?"

Yun Chu nodded and said, "I understand. What do you mean, only the good-looking ones and not the useful ones?"

Di Guangsi said: "Pei Xingjian has been coveting our brothers for more than a day or two. He must not be allowed to succeed."

Yun Chu clicked his lips and said: "I am now the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the Left Prime Minister, and a very powerful person. To be honest, if you have no expectations about men and women, it is very cost-effective to marry a girl from the Pei family. .”

Wen Huan rolled his eyes and said, "Why did master marry Shi Niang, a woman from a poor family? With master's strategy, we only need to wait a few years, and even marrying a princess is easy."

Yun Chu kicked Wen Huan and sent him rolling down the grass slope. Yun Chu could see clearly that at the last moment, Li Si carried Yun Jin into the tumbleweed nest. In order to prevent them from accidentally Lost in love, I had no choice but to send Wen Huan away...

"Let me tell you one thing, whether the child's intelligence is high or not is closely related to the mother's intelligence. Since you are going to marry a stupid barbarian girl, then prepare in advance to give birth to a stupid girl. Son’s preparation.”
