Chapter 1655 He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world
Author: Hecheng Fengyue
"I don't accept it, why don't we have special merit?"
There is someone in the National Defense Force named Qu.
This was a rare occurrence, and even Li Junxiang, commander of the Seventh Front Army, was alarmed.
At this time, the Seventh Front Army Headquarters had followed the First Division and moved to Bangladesh.
The civil war in Annan is still going on. The Ruan family and the Zheng family have no regard for the national defense forces who are watching eagerly next to them. They just hope to strangle their old enemy to death as soon as possible.
Under this situation, the 15th Division temporarily stopped its next action and sat on the mountain to watch the fight between tigers and tigers.
Therefore, for the Seventh Front Army, the focus is on Tianzhu.
"Tell me, why are you dissatisfied?"
The person who called Qu was the three-man combat team who had captured more than 600 Tianzhu soldiers.
"The three of us have captured so many prisoners. According to the regulations, we should be awarded special merit. But why are we only rated first-class?"
In the National Defense Force, there is a big difference in the treatment of special merit and first-class merit.
For those who have won special merit, the soldiers will be directly promoted to the rank of first-class sergeant major. As soon as there is a vacancy in the position, they will be immediately promoted to the rank of officers.
If you are an officer, you will be promoted to level three immediately.
In addition, the benefits for family members are also very exaggerated.
The parents of the meritorious hero will receive pensions and medical care benefits from the government, and will be allocated a large residence. Immediate siblings and children will go to school, receive free medical treatment, and receive extra points in exams.
The three-person combat team was filled with joy and thought that they would not be able to escape with special merit this time. Unexpectedly, after the evaluation, it turned out to be only first-class merit.
Over the years, the system in the National Defense Forces has always been transparent, with no cover-up from top to bottom. The three-person combat team felt it was unfair and immediately lodged a complaint.
Li Junxiang was a little surprised when he heard their deeds.
"Is there a mistake? This is obviously special merit."
The military and political personnel responsible for awarding military honors were also aggrieved.
"Commander, you are absolutely right. It is said that His Majesty personally approved this."
Hearing that it was Zuo Menggeng who made the assessment himself, the three-man combat team turned pale and felt desperate.
In this way, there is obviously no possibility of change.
"It shouldn't be. Did your Majesty mishear the battle record?"
Li Junxiang didn't dare to blame Zuo Mengeng. He turned over the medal certificate and wanted to see what went wrong.
Unexpectedly, when he looked at it, he actually laughed on the spot, with an extremely weird expression on his face.
"Look, this is why you won first-class merit."
Li Junxiang found a line of words in the military merit certificate, which was handwritten.
He naturally recognized that it was Zuo Mengeng's own handwriting.
The three-person combat team was also curious about why they were downgraded, and they all joined in.
At first glance, the three of them were stunned.
[What’s there to show off about beating the people of Tianzhu? Is this considered merit? 】
After passing the news, the officers also smiled bitterly. Forget about them, the resentment of the three-person combat team was also dissipated.
Everyone finally understands why military achievements have been discounted?
It's not that there is any unfairness, but the superiors believe that the combat effectiveness of the Tianzhu people affects the assessment of military merit.
But when everyone thought about it carefully, they found that the Tianzhu man in Laqiao did fight too easily.
From the moment they entered Tianzhu, they spent most of their time on armed marches. No city could resist for more than three hours, and many places even surrendered without a fight.
In all conscience, they also feel a bit ashamed to still evaluate military achievements according to the previous standards.
This incident quickly spread throughout the army and became an enduring joke.
Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb did not think this was a joke.
They were completely panicked and felt deep despair.
Although Tianzhu is large, the situation of being surrounded by enemies from all directions is completely beyond their ability to bear.
Especially this time, the enemy not only has extremely powerful military power, but also attacks from multiple aspects such as politics and religion.
The Islamic religion, which originally held a dominant position in Tianzhu, has reached a shaky stage.
Brahmins in many places have begun to rebel.
This is digging up their roots!
Make peace!
Peace must be negotiated!
Negotiate peace as soon as possible!
Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb came to an agreement almost at the same time.
Forget about them, the entire high-level leadership of the Mughal Empire had this attitude.
If you can't beat it, there's no shame in it. If you can't beat it and you still hold on, then you deserve to die!
Do they deserve to die?
Do they want to die?
Of course I don't want to.
If you haven’t enjoyed enough glory and wealth, how can you want to die?
So the envoys sent by Shah Jahan rushed to Chennai almost at a desperate speed, fearing that if they were delayed for a while, the Allied forces would advance one step further.
The grassland is beautiful in summer.
Large expanses of green cover the land like agate, and the winding rivers are as clear as jade and flow slowly past, making the cattle and sheep feel at ease.
But the senior officials of Khalkha Mongolia were very anxious.
Facing the attack of the National Defense Force, they adopted the strategy of trading space for time and decided to use the vast Mobei to completely destroy the National Defense Force.
However, facts proved that their strategy failed completely.
The Wehrmacht showed great patience.
Since the grassland is very large, slow down the pace. Then carefully manage the occupied land and steadily advance the defense line.
Wang Siyi showed great political wisdom and used a more advanced political system and economic strength to compete with the Khalkha Mongols for the hearts and minds of the people.
The Mongolian princes and nobles have always retained their primitive and backward way of life, always treating ordinary herdsmen as cattle and sheep, taking whatever they want, and exploiting them wantonly.
This approach is absolutely appropriate under backward production methods.
But the empire came and brought something different.
The empire divided the occupied pastures among households, allowing ordinary herders to benefit from such a major change.
This move alone is an absolute king in this era.
The herdsmen on the grassland are just ignorant, but they are definitely not stupid.
They also want to live a good life, and they also want to be human beings. At least they have enough to eat and clothing to wear, which is the simplest wish of human beings.
The princes and nobles would not give it to them, but the empire did it.
Each herdsman family looked at their own pasture, and then at the acres of cattle and sheep, and for the first time in their lives, they experienced what it means to be content.
What?
Is the Empire an outsider?
Is there a language barrier between the Empire and them?
Are these important?
Are all Mongolians Mongolians?
This grassland has had too many owners for thousands of years.
So much so that if we really want to divide it in detail, I'm afraid no one can tell clearly where they come from.
Distributing property to each household is only the first step.
In the eyes of the empire, the grasslands were not poor, but rather a place with great potential.
Especially as the economy becomes increasingly wealthy, the national consumption potential begins to explode. Among other things, the supply of meat alone has become a long-standing problem.
The empire built a large number of breeding farms in many places, but the supply still exceeded demand.
This has resulted in meat prices remaining high and ordinary people complaining.
And grassland is the best supplement.
The imperial company came to the grasslands, established local slaughterhouses directly, and in response to market requirements began to study preservation methods that could enable meat to withstand long-distance transportation.
Their acquisitions quickly bulged the pockets of the herdsmen.
One after another, the princes and nobles of Khalkha Mongolia suddenly discovered that they were gradually losing the support of the people.
