Chapter 905 The difference between a general and a scholar-officer
The huge Jingguan stood outside Zongge City, and Wen Buqi's body was found. This guy had three holes stabbed with a spear in his body, and one arm was cut off, but there was no gunshot wound on his body.
Now the head was cut off, sealed in a lime jar, and transported all the way to Tokyo by cavalry.
Ye An has already commanded his troops with Cao Yi. With the reward of military merit and a large number of rewards, the Jishi Army successfully captured Zongge City. Cao Wei finally achieved a feat that he can boast about in this war.
Although there were not many defenders in the city, and although the Jishi Army suffered a lot of casualties, as long as he captured Zongge City, he would have accomplished a great feat, and the Jishi Army would also receive the rewards they deserved.
With the destruction of Zongge City and Wen Buqi, other fortresses in Jishijunzhou also became the possessions of the Song army, and were quickly uprooted one by one and became the military fortresses of the Song Dynasty.
"These stone-building troops are not good at attacking cities and plundering territory, but they are good at building forts. Does Ganzhou need city defense craftsmen? I will provide the people, and you will provide the money..."
"Brother, you are really my brother! Labor dispatch has already been played out, what other ideas do you have to make money? Even if I agree to this matter, can the court agree? Without an order from the Privy Council, can the soldiers of the Jishi Army leave Junzhou?
You can't leave your post without permission, let alone them!"
Ye An looked at Cao Yi speechlessly. This guy can really think of anything. He can do anything to make money. He has even thought of labor dispatch. He can be regarded as having a pioneering spirit...
Cao Yi stood up and poured a cup of tea for Ye An: "Brother Ye, let's not talk about those heretics. The Jishi Army is really short of money. That guy Zhou Dingguo can be said to have sucked out the marrow. The Jishi Army is so poor that one family can only
To the extent of taking out a pair of trousers, do you know how much military pay, money and food I gave them? I only took out a quarter of the military pay you gave, and these soldiers were already able to fight to the death to capture Zongge City. If it were more,
, Let them live like human beings, wouldn’t their combat power be greatly increased?”
Ye An took Cao Yi's tea with both hands, took a sip, shook his head and said, "Brother, this can't be done!"
Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Ye An looked at Cao Yi with some confusion: "Your Cao family is also a general, and the Duke of Wuwei is a famous general in our country. Didn't you teach your brother how to lead troops?"
"I know what you are going to say. You can't buy the loyalty of these soldiers with money, but you can't buy it without money. You haven't seen the fighting men in the Jishi Army. Hey! I know the people in the army.
It’s not easy, and I didn’t expect it to be so miserable. I won’t say it anymore. I won’t say it anymore. I want to make them feel better after all, otherwise I, the general, will not be able to explain it myself!”
Ye An nodded slightly. If the Jishi Army was really so poor, it would be understandable for Cao Yi to seek some benefits for the entire army.
"You want to imitate those people in Tokyo... and open a factory? Do you want my Puhui Company to provide technology?"
Seeing that Ye An had seen through his thoughts, Cao Yi laughed and said: "That's the best. You also know that soldiers like Jishi Army are hardworking and hardworking. As long as they can make money, they dare to do even risky business. Zhou Dingguo was
I often had private contacts with Qingtang Tubo..."
Ye An sighed: "That's not impossible, but you have to know that if the Jishi Army works in factories, how can the combat effectiveness be guaranteed? It's not impossible for our Puhui Company to provide some equipment and technology, but you have to know this
If you come to Jishi Army, you may no longer be Jishi Army!"
"Now let's get these soldiers settled first. As for the rest, we can't control so much. Your Puhui Store only needs to give them tools and let them learn how to use them. I will figure out a way for the rest of my brother!"
Ye An clapped his hands: "Okay, now that my brother has made up his mind, Chang Sheng will not say anything more. When the war is over, my brother will send someone to Liangzhou Mansion!"
After getting Ye An's promise, Cao Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. While her face was filled with joy, she couldn't help but whisper: "Brother! I'm not telling you, the Jingguan in the west of Zongge City is too ostentatious. .”
Gujiao
Ye An gave Cao Yi a strange look. He really didn't expect that Cao Yi would actually remind him about this matter. He must know that except Chen Lin, no one is willing to talk to him about Beijing. What he is afraid of is that he will Involved.
The Song Dynasty always preached benevolence, and Jingguan was too cruel, but Ye An didn't think so. In the clear history of the Han Dynasty, Jingguan was too common.
Even those famous generals were using the capital to intimidate the barbarians, so what couldn't Ye An do?
Compared with this kind of cruelty, the barbarians' invasion of the Han family and their cruelty to the Han people are truly heinous.
In a sense, Jingguan is like a deterrent and a warning. It may seem cruel, but it will play a very powerful propaganda role, making the enemy afraid and not daring to cross the border easily.
But I don’t know since when, the courtiers of the Song Dynasty strongly opposed the Jingguan, believing that it was a symbol of barbarism and bloodshed and was not conducive to maintaining the image of the Song Dynasty.
Ye An looked at Cao Yi and said slowly: "The scholar-bureaucrats of the imperial dynasty often say that a celestial country must have a benevolent heart and have thunderous means. These two are the way to build a country, and both are indispensable! But I I have never seen the thunderous methods of the Song Dynasty. Even if they repel the enemy, they have to pay tribute year after year. Where do you think the thunderous methods are? People are forgetful. If it were not for this, the Tubo people would soon forget the pain of today! "
Although Ye An's words were very ruthless, Cao Yi believed that the conflict between the Tubo people and the Han family was no longer a day or two. From the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, there were frictions and conflicts between the Tubo people and the Central Plains. The war has never stopped.
"Brother, you are so courageous. Brother, I can say that no general in the entire Tokyo city would dare to do this! If you can ensure the peace of the northwest and scare the Tibetan and Dangxiang people, your Jingguan building will not be built in vain. !”
Ye An smiled: "There are some things that someone has to do after all. If you don't want to do it, then I will do it, but I don't want to be stabbed from behind. Jiangmen should not do such a thing... Yes Bar?!"
Only then did Cao Yi realize that Ye An did not say this out of emotion, but to gain help from the general.
With a slight smile, Cao Yi pointed at Ye An and said: "You are still so cunning, don't worry, what you did in the northwest made the Song Dynasty angry, and gave so many benefits to the generals. Naturally, the generals in Tokyo City will not add insult to injury." , you should be worried about those civil servants instead!"
"Compared to military generals, civil servants are actually easier to win over and deal with. You are more martial. Although you are suppressed, you still have your own pride in your heart. The so-called persistence of civil servants is just revenge and delusion in youth. In In my eyes, military commanders are more pure than civil servants, and there is nothing to hide from this."
When Ye An said this, Cao Yi was even a little moved. She shook her head with a wry smile and said, "Brother, I never thought that a kid like you would have such intentions. At last, you have lived up to my second uncle's secret help!"
Ye An nodded: "I am grateful to Duke Wuwei for his help!"
"Don't be grateful. This is a letter from my second uncle to you. He specifically told me that if you help me, I will leave it to you. If you have never given me food, grass and soldiers' pay, then I will not leave it to you!"
Ye An looked at Cao Yi in surprise. Seeing his serious expression, he took the letter with both hands: "I know about Changsheng! I will say hello to Duke Wuwei!"
Cao Yi didn't understand the meaning of this letter, but Ye An knew that the letter he left for Cao Wei before leaving Beijing finally received a response...
