I Am Going To Fight From West To East

"Marshal, this Li Xiang is really a tiger general. Only less than 100,000 people left after the nearly 400,000 troops on the grassland!" Have some smiles.

Li Zhen threw the letter to the side at will: "It's just some grassland nomadic cavalry!"

"Nomadic cavalry are also cavalry!" Yu Cheng had some expectations: "You said If the northwest were stronger and set up 300,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, starting from the Qingxi grassland, our army would put pressure on the frontal battlefield, could we destroy one or two tribes?"

The soldiers are in the elite Not much!

Xiliang Iron Cavalry is already the first-class elite cavalry in the world in Yu Cheng's eyes, with 300,000 elite cavalry, no one can stop it!

Li Zhen He chuckled and looked the head sighed: "Xiliang iron cavalry is very good, but can Xiliang afford so many people and horses?

Also, do you think that Imperial Capital is willing to see thirty people in the northwest. Ten thousand iron cavalry? There are 300,000 iron cavalry, Li Xiang may not be the first to move the grassland, but to move his troops south!"

Yu Cheng shook his head helplessly, he didn't like politics, politics They lacked things and could not notice that their northern army was still under the scrutiny of the new army. If it wasn't for the army of the grasslands, if it wasn't for the order of the late emperor, the dozens of counties in the northwest were all under the jurisdiction of Li Zhen. Now their food, grass, and military salaries are all from the northern counties, and the northern counties cut off taxes to the Imperial Court, making the new king very dissatisfied.

Seeing Yu Cheng's depressed look, Li Zhen said with a smile: "Don't worry! We will recover the grassland!"

Recovering the grassland is the mission of their generals of this generation, he He will fight all his life for the purpose of strength, the rebellion in the south and the central plains, when Yuchijing died, he had already seen the faces of those people!

Dagan is a huge quagmire. It's better, at least not so much intrigue!

"You go to the Song Family in the Northeast in person, get those weapons back, and remember to bring the Profound Armor cavalry!" Li Zhen took a jade pendant To Yu Cheng: "If they want to delay any longer, they'll be destroyed! I dare to deduct Li Zhen's things. I really think that if I join a little fellow, I can fly to the sky by myself?"

Yu Cheng got the Profound Armor order and smiled indifferently: "This subordinate knows, let's go!"

Soon, a black armored cavalry in the army was dispatched, and the grandiose headed towards the northeast. !

Some people in the army saw the Profound Armor cavalry being dispatched. Every time the Profound Armor cavalry was dispatched, there would be a big problem. Looking at the direction, many people showed taking pleasure in other people's misfortune.

The news spread very quickly. The Song Family in the Northeast got Yu Cheng to bring the Profound Armor iron cavalry out. When the purpose was their family, the Song Family patriarch looked pale, and the young man kneeling in front of him was full of resentment. .

"Nie Barrier!" Song Family patriarch hate iron for not becoming steel to the kneeling youth, hysterical: "What are you doing wrong, you are going to touch the military resources of the North Army, you are afraid that our family will not die enough Are you fast?"

The young man lowered his head: "Father, I have already sent the things out, and I took the waterway, so it's too late to say anything now!"

Clap!

The young man fell to the ground, covering his face with one hand, Song Family patriarch closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Come here, tie him up, use immortal ropes, and let the Shadow Guard guard, No one is allowed to see me without my order!"

"Yes" The guard who came here dragged the young man down, regardless of the young man's identity.

"How's the investigation?"

A shadow stood up: "This batch of supplies was ordered by Marshal Li Zhen personally to Refiner Sect, which contains a large number of spiritual weapons, It is said that these weapons were designed by people from the Taoist Sect. After receiving the advice of many major generals of the Northern Army, the pattern was finally set.

This time is just a sample, but for the Northern Army, this is an attempt, for which they Spend two million tael of silver on the enemy!"

"After these goods were robbed, they were sent southward through the Zhang Family channel soon, but after investigation by subordinates, these goods did not really go south. , but will soon enter the North King's Mansion."

"North King" Song Family patriarch squinted: "Such a little thing, it shouldn't be worth the North King's shot! Prepare me a horse, I want Let's go to Beiwangfu!"

....

Li Xiang returned to Jiuyuan City, and

soon Zhuo Bufan and Gao Yuan won a big victory in Qingxi Grassland The news spread throughout the Northwest.

Most of the people in the northwest are dry people. They feel bad for the betrayal of the grasslands. At this time, the army of the northwest defeated the army of the people from the grasslands, and the northwest fell into a carnival.

Especially those refugees from the Central Plains, who threw all the changes in the world on the prairie people. If the prairie people hadn't betrayed Dagan, which made Dagan dispatch a large number of troops and horses to the north, the Central Plains would not be. It will let those robbers run wild!

The people of the northwest are immersed in the victory over the grassland people. Li Xiang returned to Jiuyuan City to discuss how to reward Gao Yuan and Zhuo Bufan.

these two people are both surrendering generals. Zhuo Bufan joined the Northwest and Xiliang in the battle. Gaoyuan joined Xiliang when he rescued the military city not long ago, and is also in the current Great Wall Legion. One of the highest status.

Both of them have fought against Xiliang once!

Currently Xiliang is still affiliated with Dagan, so even if there are grants such as official positions, they are only granted privately and cannot be announced. .

Li Xiang wants to make the northwest land begin to advocate military force, this is a good opportunity one day, not only the two main generals, but also their soldiers, all of which need rewards.

What is the purpose of being a soldier? Don't talk about such noble things as guard home, defend the country, etc. At present, except for the soldiers in the headquarters of Xiliang, aren't the rest of the soldiers all for the sake of making a living?

The treatment of the Xiliang army is comparable to that of the Northwest, and the treatment given by others is much better. There is a complete security system. Even if they die in battle, their families can still live well.

Their descendants can enjoy the benefits of their parents.

Only when the soldiers under him feel the kindness of Xiliang to them can they be transformed into loyalty to Xiliang.

At present, the Xiliang army can be said to have captured the northwestern land. More than half of the Martial Dao experts and more than half of the people are waiting and watching, thinking whether to join the Xiliang army.

They have a good impression of the Xiliang army, but it is not enough for them to sacrifice their lives.

At this time, we need to use leverage to seduce!

Some people may say that people who have gone through cultivation are not easy to discipline, but is discipline more powerful than them?

There will not be too weak teams in the Xiliang army, and the army of the ordinary person will not exist in the Xiliang army.

Xiliang has changed the rules since this year's recruitment. If you want to be a soldier, you must at least have some True Qi or extraordinary natural talent, which depends on the recruiter.

Li Xiang wants a pack of wolves, not a pack of sheep.

After two days of negotiation between Li Yi and Zhang Qingyun, a one-time reward will be given to Gao Yuan, Zhuo Bufan and their army of more than 100,000 men, for which Li Xiang has paid millions of tael of silver.

Except for the commercial trade of the City Lord's Mansion in the northwest, the monthly tax revenue is only 1.5 million taels of silver.

Li Xiang sprinkled no less than 2 million silver at this time, plus the cost of the previous war, the maximum cost of this time war is more than 4 million taels.

A month later, a high reward notice was posted on the bulletin boards of major villages in the northwest, and the villagers rushed over.

There will be one or two people in every village who can read.

At the same time, there are also rewards for the families of the soldiers who participated in the war. Each basic general will receive five tael of silver. The current price in the northwest is that one steamed bun is one penny, and one tael of silver is equivalent to one thousand penny.

One ordinary person's family can spend at most one tael of silver a month, which is about half a year's living expenses.

And killing a prairie man will get three taels of silver. If the prairie man killed has some identity, Ten-Men Commander is five taels, Hundred-Men Commander is one hundred taels, Thousand- man Commander is 10,000 taels, and there are other rewards for higher level.

The family of the soldier who died in the battle will get 50 taels of pension directly, plus the enemy killed by the warrior on the battlefield (each soldier has a team, only the enemy killed by the same team will receive The silver will be shared by everyone, but the killer will get half, and the rest will be shared by others)

In this war, the number of soldiers killed in this war exceeded 20,000, and more than one million silver was taken When the pension.

Soldiers who died on the battlefield will get a martyr's number at home and a lot of benefits, such as children going to school without tuition...

These bonuses, The pensions were soon distributed to the families of the military family members, all of which were done by the soldiers of the Xiliang headquarters, and Li Xiang could not believe the others.

These silver coins just fell into the homes of the military family members in various villages, which instantly aroused the jealousy of countless people. The bonuses for the soldiers were all as high as 12 taels. At present, the civilians of Xiliang can save a tael of silver a year.

One war can get 10 taels of silver

There is also a pension for the death of the war. , making countless people instantly jealous.

But they can only be jealous, because after the martyr's number, if someone dares to bully their family, only the people in the Xiliang headquarters will know, and the horse will fall.

Big mold, those big men in the headquarters of Xiliang have always only recognized the decrees of the king of Xiliang. As long as someone dares to violate it, waiting will be the gate of the county.

In the past, those green skins who used to do things in the county town, where are they now? They are not caught by those soldiers from the headquarters of Xiliang, who seem to have less arms and broken legs, just like carrying chickens. , throw it to build a bridge and build a road

Those people from the headquarters are physically disabled, but their efforts have not fallen. The demons encountered a strategic withdrawal from the capital. If something is wrong with anyone, just invite them to go over, and they will be murderous. Can stop everything.

Many cultivators who are farming or doing other jobs will soon earn a lot of money after seeing those who are not considered weak and weak by the Xiliang army.

What other strengths are similar to them, because most of them are Ten-Men Commanders now, and some are Hundred-Men Commanders because they went to join the army.

Not only get a lot of money, but also a high social status.

Thinking that people around you are afraid of them because of their martial power, now it is respect and respect.

Because of the high-pressure rule of Xiliang, these people who could have made a profit, they can only live a very ordinary life. Those people in the headquarters of Xiliang who came down from the battlefield, they are still dressed in martial power. Now, suppressing them is easy.

When the cold winter came, the soldiers who participated in the battlefield returned home from the defense, and also brought a lot of supplies from the army, ominous beast meat, wine, and a year's salary from the northern army, Twenty-four taels of silver!

Li Xiang's policy has been successful!

People in the whole northwest have begun to yearn for the army, but it is very difficult to enter the army, at least one must go through cultivation A little bit, a little True Qi or a cultivation talent!

The white snow soon covered the northwest land, outside the customs, and the Qingxi grassland.

In the cold winter, most people make hot pots at home, and then the whole family gathers to eat.

Li Xiang made a big pot of hot pot in City Lord's Mansion, and called Xia Li, Zhang Qingyun and Li Yi, who had nowhere to go in the city, to their house and ate hot pot together.

"My lord, your military plan is very good, but in this way, the cost of our army will become very high.

The current number of the northwest army has reached 200,000, Seventh Army Regiment 70,000, Eighth Legion 90,000, Ninth Great Wall Legion 40,000.

This figure will become 400,000 next year, Seventh Army Regiment 100,000, Eighth Legion 150 100,000, while the Great Wall Legion is 150,000!

According to the current military pay, usually one soldier, one month's pay, Seventh Army regiment three taels, three million 600,000 taels a year, eighth Legion one tael, one 1.5 million per year, 22 taels of the Great Wall Legion, 3.6 million per year, we have to pay 8.7 million tael of silver every year.

There are also various materials, armaments, etc. Adding up, we need at least 10 million taels a year, that is, we need to pay 20 million taels a year.

When I am in power, my tax revenue in Xiliang is only about 20 million taels.

Our investment in the army has been equivalent to the tax of the northwest for one year. Next year, you will start your pig raising plan. According to the price of piglets, we need to prepare at least two million silver. The roads in various places need to be rebuilt, at least It also requires a budget of about 10 million..."

After Zhang Qingyun's series of questions, Li Xiang was a little dumbfounded and distressed about money.

Zhang Qingyun still doesn't count the cost of the Xiliang headquarters. In his eyes, the cost of the Xiliang headquarters is more than three times more than that of the ordinary army!

But the Xiliang headquarters The expenses of the soldiers are not counted in the northwest government. They have such a way to make money. It belongs to the lord's own small treasury.

Sitting on the side to eat, Qian Duoduo heard Zhang Qingyun's words, stopped and calculated, tens of millions of silver, how much food can be bought!

Xia Li Pull on Zhang Qingyun's clothes, this is eating! Can your lord still eat?

"Li Yi, how much money do I have now" Li Xiang looked towards Li Yi, all his money was in Li Yina.

Li Yi wiped his mouth: "There are still 45 million silver and 30 million tael of gold. After the official opening of the Western Trade Road next year, you will get 4 million tael of gold every month. Silver should be around five million taels"

"It's okay, it's okay" Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, not seeing Zhang Qingyun's wolf-like eyes on the side

PS: The power is off at home, and the call is only at nine o'clock, which is very dangerous
