The sergeants received their rewards, and they were all beaming with joy, and the atmosphere around them was filled with joy.
Shao Shude asked Li Yanling: "Is there any way to send these properties back to Xicheng?"
"It's a bit difficult." Li Yanling frowned, like a sad old farmer: "It's so far from Military City to Xicheng, and the road is not smooth, so it's difficult."
"What should we do?" Shao Shude was also a little confused. This was the first time that the Xicheng soldiers and horses went abroad to fight. The Zhenwu Army was hundreds of miles away from here. It was definitely impossible to carry so much property with them. Not only would it occupy the baggage transportation tonnage, but it would also
It seems that the soldiers will also be half-hearted. This is not unfounded, because once the two armies engage in battle, if the enemy takes a detour and takes away their own baggage, the soldiers will know that all their property is lost, and they are afraid that they will collapse on the spot.
Li Yanling also understands this truth. In these days, warriors fight not just for money. After settling the warriors and serving them well, what if they support you as a general or commander? If you hate the warriors, the officers will probably lose their heads.
Paul Shao Shude has always hated this trend, but as an extremely small officer, what can he do? Just go with the flow and find ways to change it when he is really capable.
"We can only find Captain Sun to find a solution. After all, it is not appropriate to store it in the Military Supervisory Academy." Shao Shude thought for a while, and a whole army of soldiers and horses in Xicheng was dispatched. Although most of the financial rewards were given out before the expedition, but that
It was Li Liang, the military envoy of Xicheng. When they arrived at the military city, there should be another reward from the defense historian Li Yue. How did they deal with the property? There must be a way.
"It's not good for the team leader to leave his post without authorization at this time. Let me take care of the matter with Captain Sun." Li Yanling thought for a while and realized that this was the only way. Sun Ba treated the warriors well, and Shao Shude was once his personal soldier.
, there is no need to elaborate on the relationship. Moreover, their team is also Sun Ba's soldiers, and they will return to the army after they are finished. How can Sun Ba ignore them?
"Go quickly." Shao Shude waved his hand and said, "I'll come and talk to Lao Lu and the others, so that the brothers can send their belongings back to Xicheng as soon as possible so that they can feel at ease."
The communication work went smoothly. Shao Shude was the leader of the team and was well-known in Xicheng. Everyone trusted him, so they quickly gathered all the rewards. Guaguai, more than two thousand kilograms of things were piled in the yard.
It was so big that it blinded people's eyes.
The newly recruited sergeants of the Guankai Run Team looked at it from a distance, almost crying. However, they were surrounded by sergeants from the Shao Team, carrying swords and bows. They did not dare to make any mistakes, and could only look at them with envy.
.
Li Yanling found several large vehicles and loaded them with all his belongings. Sun Ba was really interesting and sent more than 20 sergeants to accompany the vehicle to escort them. Shao Shude also knew these people, so they greeted each other and left.
"Team leader, Sun Duwei said that there will be a batch of boats returning to Hejin Ferry in two days, and they can carry property along the way." Li Yanling wiped his sweat and said breathlessly: "The boats of the Six Cities Water Transport Envoy Yamen will carry grain and grass to the military city.
Yes, the empty ship returned, and it was just in use. After arriving at Xicheng, there will be someone to take it at the Yamen of the Military and Horse Envoy, so just go back and ask for it."
The so-called six-city water transport envoys were officials appointed by the imperial court to be in charge of water transport on the Yellow River. The six cities were Feng'an Military City (near Zhongwei in present-day Ningxia), Dingyuan Military City (near Pingluo County in Shizuishan), surrendered city in the west, surrendered city in the middle
The city, Dongshoujiang City, and Zhenwu Army City were all built along the Yellow River, also known as the "Six Cities Outside the River".
Speaking of Lingzhou, the water transportation conditions in the Hetao area are actually very good. Large-scale use for transportation began with Diao Yong in the Northern Wei Dynasty (Note 1). He was a southerner. When he was a town general in Lingzhou, he advocated using ships instead of cars to maximize water transportation capacity.
With the advantages of large size, low cost, speed and convenience, large ships (800 stones) were built in Lingzhou, and then transported down the river to Woye Town (80 miles north of Tiande Military City, abandoned). These ships
It can travel more than 150 miles a day, which is incomparable to chariots and horses. Therefore, it has played a great role, and the people in the north marveled at its miraculous achievements.
In the early Tang Dynasty, Pingliang was the capital of the division and resisted the Turks. They built a large number of ships on the Fengzhou section of the Yellow River to transport military supplies and equipment, which also played a huge role. In the 29th year of Kaiyuan, Shuofang Jiedu envoys and water transport envoys from six cities were added.
The Yellow River has water transportation for more than 2,000 miles up and down. To this day, the hydrological conditions of the Yellow River have not changed significantly. Therefore, the towns of Lingwu, Xia Sui, Tiande, Zhenwu, Datong, and Hedong have benefited greatly from the transportation of materials and personnel.
The cost is very low. Otherwise, the garrison in this place may not be able to hold on for a long time. The reason is that the maintenance cost is too high!
Therefore, since Sun Ba was sure to borrow the Six City Water Transport Bureau's ship to transport things back to Xicheng, then the matter was absolutely correct. Shao Shude was very happy, and the soldiers were also very happy. Their worries were solved, and they could fight with peace of mind after going into battle.
The next thing is very trivial. Shao Shude divided his men into several groups. The two firemen guarded the side door of the backyard, the corridor and other critical places. The two firemen rested in the wing room as a rotation. And he himself had to lead the team from time to time.
Guardsmen patrol the area to prevent problems.
When you take someone else's money, you have to perform your duty. Soldiers in this era are so "simple". If you have milk, you are a mother. You can give me money and let me kill the King of Heaven. If you don't give me money, I will kill you.
You vent your anger. It's so simple, but not simple at all. There are a lot of military leaders in the world who have lost their way.
Tiande Military City has a quiet feeling at night. After all, it is a frontier military city, which cannot be compared with the bustling mainland. After dinner, everyone went to bed early and lived a puritan-like life with almost no entertainment activities. General Shao Shude
He put on the chainmail armor, which was the one that Sun Ba rewarded him with. As for the one that he wore on the battlefield, it was given to his "number one general" Lu Huaizhong to wear. Old Lu was so happy that he scratched his head and almost asked someone to make gestures on the spot——
In the evening, I met the newly recruited "surprise generals in the hospital" from the Guan team, all of whom were well-known in the state. Lao Lu wore iron armor and walked past them with a scurrying pace. He said a few insults in passing, which almost made him angry.
The group of people started to take action.
The people from the Return Team were on duty in the front yard of the Supervisory Army Courtyard, and the back yard was guarded by fifty people from Shao Team. Shao Shude led his own soldiers and patrolled everywhere with their heads held high, not missing anything suspicious.
Everyone did not bring spears, but they had bows, knives, cards, and armor. Shao Shude was very strict in managing the army. Before setting off, he had to check whether the equipment was missing, and before going into battle, he had to check whether it could be used normally. Even in a safe city, he patrolled
They must be meticulous when getting up. The soldiers may have some complaints at first, but as time goes by, they have already gotten used to it. Those who are not used to it are basically driven away. The internal atmosphere must be pure, otherwise over time, something like this will definitely happen.
moth.
After completing a patrol, Shao Shude and others returned to the side room, took off their weapons and placed them on the equipment rack nearest to them. However, they were not allowed to remove their armor and could only sleep with their clothes on to deal with emergencies.
Actually, being a soldier is really not a good profession. It is characterized by hardship, fatigue, and danger. Especially when you go to war, the endless marching and camping can destroy you. You can't walk dozens of miles in a day, and the sun is too bright in the afternoon.
In the west, you have to stop and set up camp, and then break camp early the next morning. It is really a arduous task to start over and over again. Sometimes when you are annoyed, you will think, it is better to encounter the enemy quickly and fight happily.
Forget it, so as not to continue to be tortured by endless labor - of course, you won't think so when you are fighting against the enemy. You will miss the original monotonous and boring but safe life. What a mean person!
Shao Shude always felt that if he had not inexplicably traveled back in time and was in the turbulent era of the end of the dynasty, he would not have chosen to be a soldier. In the past, when reading various time-travel historical novels, the protagonists were basically in the prosperous age, and then relied on showing off a little cleverness to get in and out.
Traveling between palaces and majesties, going back and forth between princes and princes, flirting with a few young ladies when nothing happens, and turning the tide when something happens, that is the ideal state of a time traveler. There are even those who are so powerful that they have no friends, and they carry systems, warehouses or
Grandpa's, even if the protagonist is not very smart, he is still in an invincible position. It is easy to pretend to be cool, but the pursuit is to become the king and hegemony.
Damn it, how did I travel through time to become such a virtuous person? As a hard-working low-level martial artist, I couldn’t sleep well at night, and I had to get up from time to time to patrol. I led a small team of fifty people, and some of them had food to eat, so
There are murderers, ambitious people, and old bastards. People’s attitudes are so complicated, and I don’t know how many brain cells have been used. If you go out to perform a mission, you have to eat and sleep in the open, and face all kinds of unknown dangers. It takes a long time.
, the health is definitely worse than those who are pampered, I really don’t know what to say.
The first day of guard work passed quickly. The next two days were basically the same rhythm, boring guard work. The only episode was probably another conflict between the low-level warriors. Don't get me wrong.
It was not a conflict between Captain Shao and Captain Guan, but Guan Kairun himself could not surrender the newly recruited "surprise generals" under his command. Those unruly guys had a big fight with the awesome Chang'an young heroes,
It is said that it is because of the issue of who goes first and who comes last when eating.
Lu Huaizhong came back and told the story vividly. In his words, he was very disdainful of Guan Kaiyun's "inability to control his subordinates". At the same time, he also severely damaged the group of Chang'an young heroes. There are indeed many desperadoes in Fengzhou, and the Tiande Army often recruits them.
, because they dare to fight and risk their lives. However, this kind of people are indeed difficult to discipline. The chief officer must have a strong personal charm or extraordinary force to suppress these bastards, otherwise he will still be able to suppress these bastards.
Why not recruit some honest farmers? But then again, are there any honest farmers in Fengzhou?
The reason why the episode is called an episode is because it will be put down soon. After Qiu Wei cursed a lot, he called Team Shao over. Looking at the heavily armed sergeant of Team Shao, and then considering that Shao was
Due to their reputation as "sharp shooters" in the state, the "surprise generals" did not dare to make trouble anymore. Several leaders were hung up and given dozens of whips, and the matter was over.
However, the attentive Shao Shude noticed that Guan Kairun's expression was very ugly. If he could not control his subordinates, it would obviously be a big loss in the eyes of his superiors. This was not a good thing!
Note 1: Diao Yong, whose ancestral home is Hebei, moved south with his family in the late Western Jin Dynasty. Later, in order to avoid Liu Yu's execution, he fled to the Later Qin Dynasty. After the fall of the Later Qin Dynasty, he served as an official in the Northern Wei Dynasty. When he served as the general of Bogulu Town, he made great contributions and discovered the water transportation of the Yellow River.
