Chapter 48 Divide the fruits of the war, the shortage is enough. Ask for a monthly ticket)
"good."
After taking a sip of water, Huang Jiang reported what he had done in Didao and the loot he had obtained. At the same time, he handed another roll of bamboo slips to Ying Quliang.
"National Master, the first and most important contribution to the proper settlement of the Rongdi issue lies with you. Half of this wealth will be retained in the national treasury, and the rest will be returned to the National Master and the officers and soldiers on the trip."
Ying Quliang looked at the list, and he knew that there was not much wealth. What he was interested in was the war horses in Huang's hands. Qin had no shortage of war horses, but he, Ying Quliang, was short of them.
"As for the young men and women of the Rong and Di tribes, they will be left to the Imperial Guards as guards. But can this war horse..."
Seeing Ying Quliang hesitate to speak, Huang chuckled: "Your Majesty, we all belong to the Qin State. You can do whatever you want."
"Except for these young and strong horses, the rest are the gifts I prepared for Your Majesty."
"With this batch of war horses, there will be more cavalry in the army, which will also help defend the Six Nations."
Ying Qian on the side was hesitant to speak. He saw the young men Huang brought back. It could be said that they were all cavalry seedlings.
As a general of the Qin State, Ying Qian valued these young men very much and wanted to ask for them, but he couldn't save his face.
He naturally knew that Huang had been working hard for the Qin State since he was appointed as a national advisor, but the court did not receive any reward except the title of a state advisor.
As far as he knew, Huang's residence in Yueyang was still a mansion that Huang bought with his own money.
This brought the words to his lips, but he couldn't say them out. He was greedy, and Ying Qian knew the value of Huang. These were Huang's trophies in themselves.
What's more, Huang also handed over the share that was handed over to the court.
Both emotionally and rationally, he had no reason to ask for it.
Although Huang was conversing with Ying Quliang, from the corner of his eye, he also noticed Ying Qian's hesitation in speaking. As soon as his thoughts changed, he roughly understood Ying Qian's thoughts.
"Your Majesty, the national crisis is at hand, and the most important thing is to save the Qin Dynasty." Huang smiled and said to Ying Quliang: "The Rong and Di tribes are young and strong, and there are about 16,000 people."
"In this battle, the 30,000 cavalrymen suffered losses. I thought that we should make up for the vacancies among the 30,000 cavalrymen first."
"Then, I will hand over the 10,000 young men to the general and incorporate them into the cavalry for training. It will be enough for me to leave some guards here."
This is not pretentious.
Firstly, the current situation of the Qin State is critical, and a large army is needed to frighten the six countries. Secondly, he is the Qin State's national division, and holding tens of thousands of cavalry is too eye-catching.
In Huang's plan, three thousand elites were enough. Firstly, it would give him the ability to protect himself, and secondly, it would reassure Ying Quliang and others.
Hearing this, Ying Quliang and Ying Qian looked at each other, and they were overjoyed: "For the sake of the Qin State, I will not give in to the state master."
"Today's Qin State really needs a large army to strengthen itself."
After getting what he wanted, a smile appeared on Ying Qian's face: "The national master will choose first, and leave the rest to me."
"good."
After a conversation, the results of the battle were divided up one by one.
Huang had anticipated this situation from the beginning. He had no intention of becoming a powerful person in the world, and having too many soldiers and horses in his hands was definitely not a good thing.
The reason why he asked for Qingzhuang was just to weaken the tribes of Rong and Di.
Finally, Huang said goodbye and left.
Watching Huang leave, Ying Qian was filled with emotion: "Your Majesty, this Imperial Master is not only capable of fighting, but he is also not arrogant. At such a young age, he is truly extraordinary."
"Haha, it is indeed extraordinary." Ying Quliang also smiled and said to Ying Qian: "In this battle, the battle damage reached 2,000, and 10,000 were merged into the cavalry."
"This means that there are only three to four thousand young men left in the hands of the national division. These people can only form a cavalry of three thousand men at most."
At this point, Ying Quliang changed the topic and said, "Give him some maids and cooks from the palace. I also heard from Inspector Jing that there is only one national master living in his mansion, and there is no fireworks at all."
"If you have made great achievements, you can't just reward them with nothing. Wouldn't it chill the hearts of the world?"
"Um."
Ying Qian nodded and took a sip of herbal tea: "It turns out that our Qin State has 50,000 cavalry, and this time we will add another 10,000. As a result, the number of Rongdi soldiers in our Qin Army will reach a terrifying 40,000."
"Your Majesty, do we, Old Qin, have too few people?"
Hearing this, Ying Quliang also frowned. This problem was very difficult. The people of Old Qin were too poor and the population was not large. He did not want to recruit troops hastily.
The talents of Lao Qin are the foundation of Qin.
But if the proportion of Lao Qin people is not large, this army will not be reliable. For a while, Ying Quliang was silent.
"There is nothing I can do about it. If the Qin State wants to regain its strength now, the old Qin people are the top priority."
"I hope there will be good news from Jingjian, otherwise I, the old Qin man, will have to retreat to the depths of Longxi."
Ying Quliang knew very well that although Huang did a clean and tidy job in Didao and stabilized the western part of the Qin State in one fell swoop, the key still lay with the Six Kingdoms of Shandong.
Only when Jing Jian came to him with good news could he truly breathe a sigh of relief. This would give him time and space to think about Qiang Qin.
…
Compared to the exchange between the Ying Quliang brothers, after Huang left Yueyang Palace, he did not go to pick someone up immediately, but returned to the mansion.
He boiled a pot of water, took a hot bath, and then lay on the bed and fell asleep.
These days are not easy.
Marching in the rain not only tests a person's will, but also damages his body. He needs to rest and recuperate.
As for those young and strong people, they should be his, and they can only be his.
the next day.
Huang practiced the pile technique for a while, boxed for a while, and practiced swordsmanship for a while. He rested on the stone pier for half an hour before going into the house to wash up.
After making some food for himself and filling his stomach, Huang just got up and walked to the camp. He wanted to bring back the people he needed.
"Zi'an, I've met the Imperial Master." Seeing Huang Qian coming, Zi'an's face was full of smiles.
"Haha, where is Zi'an?"
After saying hello, Huang chuckled: "This time, the Rong Di Qingzhuang who followed you and me into Yueyang will be selected from two thousand people and added to the cavalry to ensure the number of fifty thousand."
"The general will take ten thousand, and I will take the rest."
Having said this, Huang glanced at Zi'an and said meaningfully: "I'll pick the people first. If you think about it, the general will come to pick them up afterwards."
"After I finish picking, Zi'an can pick..."
Hearing this, Zi'an was overjoyed and chose Qingzhuang. It was a matter of who came first and who came last. The result was very different and he hurriedly moved towards Huang.
"The Imperial Master is interested. The General is impatient. Let's hurry up!"
"good."
After walking around the camp, Huang took away all the 4,500 people and the corresponding good horses and supplies. However, he knew that he was a poor man and could not afford to support these soldiers and horses.
There is currently no profit from the cooperation with Bai, and this batch of materials is his only property.
Nearly five thousand people.
People eat what horses chew, that's a terrifying number. This time, Huang led 30,000 elite cavalry, and he also understood the situation.
The cavalry in this era have amazing combat power, but they are also very gold-rich and cannot be afforded by ordinary people.
