Chapter four hundred and thirteenth military commander
Chao Yong released the surrendered Han people, while all party dignitaries stayed in the palace. After review, they would decide whether to release or kill them.**
Chao Yong is not a generous person and would not release all the Dangxiang nobles just to appease the Dangxiang clan. The Dangxiang dignitaries who usually harm the Han people will definitely not be able to escape Daliang's steel knife, including those scum among the Han people who were released.
After a night of silence, Chao Yong sent someone to call Li Kui early the next morning.
"Prince, who are you going to kill today?"
Li Kui was busy for half the night last night and visited all the larger houses in the city. He was still a little sleepy at this time, but he was very interested when talking about killing people.
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Your main task today is to free all the Han people in the city, especially those Han people from wealthy families. They must be released."
When Li Kui heard that it was not about killing people, he suddenly lost interest and shook his head and said: "This job is easy to do. I have killed all the bald thieves who dared to resist. I will just have people go around and talk to each other door to door. No more work to kill people?"
A lot of those bald thieves invited last night deserve to be killed, right?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "You can't do this. If you investigate, I'm afraid everyone will die. In this way, you ask everyone to shave all the hair left on their heads and learn from us Han people to tie their hair in the future. If you don't obey
They will be killed without mercy."
The bald hair of Dangxiang people is not completely shaved off, but the top of the head is shaved off, leaving a small handful in the front, like bangs, hanging down from the forehead, and the hair is loose at the back.
When Li Yuanhao ordered everyone in Xixia to go bald within three days, anyone who violated the order would be killed. The Han people in Xixia were also forced to go bald.
After Chao Yong saw the Han people wearing ugly hairstyles last night, he decided to retaliate against Li Yuanhao's baldness order, otherwise he would not mind the Dangxiang people preserving some of their customs and habits.
At this time, the culture of the Han people has an irresistible attraction to all ethnic groups. As long as the court gives a little push, it can slowly assimilate all ethnic groups, and there is no need to kill and assimilate. However, for some countries, Chao Yong still feels that tit for tat is the best way.
The best choice.
Li Kui said happily: "This is a good job, otherwise I will be completely bald, or I will chop off their heads."
Chao Yong looked at the excited Li Kui and added: "Don't worry about women. Don't make women bald."
Li Kui smiled and said: "I know, I'm going to do some work. I guarantee that I will be bald before tonight."
"It's not too late to leave after having breakfast in the palace. The soldiers also need to eat."
Hearing this, Li Kui rubbed his stomach and said with a smile: "The prince said this, I'm really hungry."
Chao Yong also asked people to invite Sun Li, Han Shizhong, Liu Qi, Yao Pingzhong, Li Jun and other navy leaders. They had had enough food and wine last night and were still sleeping soundly.
When everyone arrived, the soldiers brought six sea bowls up.
Li Kui wrinkled his nose and said, "Rice porridge? Let's get some meat to eat."
Shi Yong smiled and said: "I know that General Li is fond of meat, so I have asked them to roast camel meat. It will be ready soon."
Li Kui nodded and said: "Camel meat is good, I also ate it last night. I heard that the Poxi troops riding camels were very powerful. I didn't see them take action yesterday, so they were all chopped up by me. Some of those cyclone cannons were brought in. The remaining
All the ones that came down were chopped by me."
Chao Yong nodded and said: "Send it back to Tokyo and let the craftsmen at the Craftsmanship Institute see if there is anything we can learn from this tornado cannon."
Han Shizhong explained: "Before the advent of the divine arm crossbow, the Poxi Army was very powerful. They put the whirlwind cannon on the back of a camel so that the cannon could move with the army. Although they could not fire stone cannons that were too big, they could fire stones as big as a fist.
Even the heavy infantry armor is difficult to withstand, and the impact alone can break bones. In the past, Xixia used the Poxi Army to break formations, but after the advent of the Divine Arm Crossbow, the Poxi Army became useless. The Divine Arm Crossbow
The range is far longer than that of the cyclone cannon, and it can easily penetrate heavy armor. The camel is useless even if it is covered with thick armor, so Xixia does not need the Poxi army to attack Shaanxi. Li Kui killed those Poxi troops, and maybe this is the only one in the world.
There are no more Poxi troops."
Li Kui smiled and said: "Xixia is gone, Poxi Army is just a bird, but where can we find camels after eating their camels?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Camels are more useful than horses in the desert. There are more camels in Xixia."
"That's good. When I return to Tokyo, I'll bring a few horses back and give them to my mother to try."
Sun Li smiled and said: "There are camels in Tokyo too, so you don't have to go through so much trouble."
Li Kui asked curiously: "Why haven't I seen it before?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "You have only been in Tokyo for a few days. They are sold in everything from east to west in Tokyo. There is nothing you can't find, only you can't think of it."
Sun Li smiled and said: "What the prince said is that as long as you think about it, you can definitely find it in Tokyo. When I can no longer draw my bow, I will retire in Tokyo."
"So it's like this. It doesn't matter if I didn't think of it. When I get to Tokyo, I will have people find different meat for me to eat every day. I won't bring the same kind. Haha."
Sun Li joked: "I'm afraid your salary is not enough for you to eat and drink as much as you do, right?"
Li Kui smiled and said: "When you have no money, go to the prince. The prince's uterus will definitely be short of food and drink."
Chao Yong saw Li Kui being so lazy and said with a smile: "If you have enough good wine and meat, the prince's womb feels uncomfortable eating. I will give you money to eat all over the world."
"I knew I would have meat to eat by following the prince."
Li Kui thought for a while and then said: "I no longer lead troops. The provincial ones have to go to the military camp to report. I will also be a personal soldier of the prince. I don't have to deal with him at ordinary times. If there is a fight, just send me wherever the prince sends me.
That way, I won’t have to worry about having time to eat and drink, and I won’t break the rules of the military camp.”
Military generals love their weapons and horses, and they love military power even more. Throughout the ages, many military generals have not hesitated to start a war for the military power in their hands. Emperors have to rack their brains to get back their military power, for fear that their generals will mutiny.
Sun Li and others looked incredulous when they heard that Li Kui wanted to give up military power for food and drink.
Chao Yong said: "You and Zhang Qing's military exploits are enough to be promoted to captain of ten thousand men. After the recruits are trained, you will be captain of ten thousand men."
Li Kui laughed and said: "I can't lead a thousand people, how can I lead ten thousand people? Xiang Chong and Li Gun usually train and lead the troops. I just fight and become a captain of ten thousand people. I can't also lead one."
Let all ten thousand people swarm to fight. Zhang Qing can be the captain of ten thousand men, but I can't."
Chao Yong naturally also knew about Li Kui's problem, but Li Kui had made many achievements, and not being rewarded for his merits and not punished for his mistakes were taboos in leading troops. Chao Yong originally planned to arrange a deputy general for Li Kui who could lead troops to help Li Kui lead troops.
of.
But now that Li Kui doesn't want to be bound by military regulations, Chao Yong naturally wants to satisfy him.
Chao Yong thought for a while and said: "Originally, I didn't want to recruit rank officers to avoid redundant officials, but I guess you will be in the same situation. From now on, the ranks of captains of thousands will be school captains, and the rank of captains of ten thousand will be
He is a general, and after that he is a general. Even if you are not a captain of ten thousand, you are still a general, and you will be treated the same as the captain of ten thousand. After this battle, you can come back to the capital with me."
Li Kui said happily: "Okay."
Sun Li also said: "That's good. Everyone in the province is called general. It's hard to understand the official positions. It's a bit awkward to call him commander of thousands or commander of ten thousand. Everyone calls them general. And if everyone has done enough work, they can be promoted.
You can wait until there is a vacancy to fill the actual position. This also avoids being like Zhang Qing, who has done enough credit but has been serving as a captain of thousands because there is no vacancy."
Chao Yong nodded and said: "What General Sun said is that what he thought before was indeed simple. This time when we go back, we will replenish the ranks of the generals across the country. As for everyone's titles, it will not be too late to reward them after the Central Plains is unified. Is the old man of Liangshan the founding father or the founder of the country?"
The founding of a country depends on everyone's achievements."
Sun Li naturally knew that no matter whether he was the emperor or the prince, they, the old people of Liangshan, would have the same title, but he never knew what title they would be given. Now that he heard the word "founding the country", he felt very proud. Even if it means "founding the country"
Uncle, it sounds much nobler than the Northwest Duke who cultivated the way of teaching. Only those who conquer the country together are worthy of the title of "Founding the Nation".
When Han Shizhong, Liu Qi, and Yao Pingzhong heard this, they were also envious. However, they also knew that they had no chance of founding the country, so they could only make more military exploits and strive to obtain more titles.
Li Kui, however, did not care about this and said: "All the Liangshan veterans under my command have killed many people, and many of them have not yet become centurions. Let's give them the rank of centurion."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "The rank of centurion should be called Dutou. Forget it if it is ten-centurion, the centurion and above are considered generals."
