Chapter 1,754 Allegiance
When Qin Xiao said this, the expressions of the generals present were different. Some people thought that this general was not old, but he was indeed young and vigorous. Even if he was really incompatible with the Liaodong Army, he was still nominally a Tang Dynasty soldier.
The soldiers and horses do not have to be so direct. (Due to caching reasons, users are asked to access the browser directly.\nCOM website to watch the fastest chapter updates)
If it were an older person, he would definitely talk in roundabout ways.
But some people actually felt that it was a pleasure for the young general to be so forthright.
"The imprisoned generals are all guilty and they will definitely not be released." Qin Xiao said: "When the evidence is confirmed, someone will be sent directly to Kyoto and handed over to the Ministry of War for disposal." He paused and glanced.
Everyone smiled faintly and said: "Actually, there seem to be a few of you here who are not very clean. If we really want to investigate and deal with them, I'm afraid they will also be implicated."
Chu Hua and others came today not to plead for the imprisoned generals. There were two factions in the Guangning army that disliked each other. They knew in their hearts that if something went wrong with the generals of the Western Liaoning faction, those people would definitely
He just watched with cold eyes.
It's just that although everyone has been released, the case on the Guangning Army's side has not yet been completely concluded. In addition, the Guangning soldiers have also had their equipment confiscated. No one is clear about where they will go next.
After all, we were all in the army, so we couldn't help ourselves. We came together today mainly to find out how Qin Xiao planned to deal with the Guangning Army.
However, as soon as Qin Xiao said these words, everyone present did not know how to interrupt.
"Captain Chu, what are your plans next?" Qin Xiao looked at Chu Hua and asked.
Chu Hua was startled and stood up hurriedly and said: "General Qin, I am here today just to ask you what I should do next? The officers and soldiers of Guangning are still waiting for news in the west of the city. Everyone, everyone.
I don’t even know where to go.”
"What are your plans?" Qin Xiao asked, "I want to hear your plans."
Chu Hua and the others looked at each other, and finally plucked up the courage to say: "General, originally we were all soldiers stationed in Guangning, and we were paid by the imperial court. We all don't dare to slack off and practice diligently.
"Many of them have also made military exploits for the imperial court!" After a moment of hesitation, he said awkwardly: "Now that the general's officers and soldiers have taken over the defense of Guangning, we really don't know what to do. I wonder if the general is ready.
Move us elsewhere?"
"So, you haven't thought about returning home?" Qin Xiao asked with a smile.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone's expression changed slightly.
Everyone, no matter how stupid they are, can understand Qin Xiao's words. They clearly want to disband the Guangning Army.
For everyone here, this is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.
Almost all of these people were promoted step by step from the ranks because of their military merit. Although they are not as good as the Liaodong generals who can compete for land, their pay is not low. In order to stabilize these people, the Liaodong Army, in addition to normal
As military pay, a hard-earned pay is also given every year. The hard-earned pay is much more than a year's salary, so for everyone here, supporting their families is not a problem.
Even ordinary soldiers of the Guangning Army receive a lot of military pay, which is definitely much higher than farming.
The Tang Dynasty was a martial artist, so being able to join the army was naturally a very honorable thing. It was also very respectable in front of the elders in my hometown, and I could receive military pay every month. I was not a frontier soldier, and I rarely fought with the enemy's life and death, so such a job
, the officers and soldiers of the Guangning Army from top to bottom were also very satisfied.
However, once the Guangning Army is disbanded, not to mention the loss of face after returning home, and the loss of regular military salary income, many people's lives will become problematic.
As for people like Chu Hua, how many years have they endured to get where they are today? If they return home in such an embarrassing state, their years of hard work will immediately be in vain. Deep down in their hearts, everyone present really cannot accept such a result. For a moment, everyone's expressions changed.
The crowd was extremely solemn, some looked depressed and desperate, and some even frowned, showing anger.
Qin Xiao saw this, and naturally knew it well, and then smiled and said: "I don't know the family background of most of the officers and soldiers of the Guangning Army. But you may not know, the land equalization policy will be implemented soon in western Liaoning.
To put it more clearly, it is to allow all the people to have land for cultivation. The land in western Liaoning is vast and there is a lot of barren land. It will be reclaimed in the future, and the government will give the best government orders when the time comes." After a pause, he said with a smile:
"So after Guangning officers and soldiers return home, they don't have to worry about having no land to farm."
Naturally, the generals present did not know much about this matter, but the policy of land to the tiller did surprise everyone.
"I have also discussed with the county governor and other adults, and I feel that if there are people who serve the court, the government should give them better treatment." Qin Xiaodao: "There is land for farming, and the payment is based on the amount of the land.
However, I have prepared a document and submitted it to the court, hoping that the court can reduce the taxes on the families of officers and soldiers. Let's put it this way, serving as a soldier for the court not only allows you to receive military pay, but also exempts the soldiers' families from part of the taxes, and the longer you serve the court.
The longer it is, the more taxes will be exempted.”
Chu Hua immediately held up his hands and said, "General, if everyone in the Guangning Army is willing to continue serving the imperial court, would it be possible?"
When he asked, everyone else stared at Qin Xiao with expectant expressions on their faces.
Qin Xiao was calm and composed, and raised his hand to signal Chu Hua to sit down. After thinking for a moment, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense. Everyone didn't know what Qin Xiao was thinking, and they all watched eagerly.
"There is something you may not know yet." Qin Xiao said: "This time there was a big accident in western Liaoning. Many officials were convicted, and there were many casualties. The county governor Gongsun Shang committed suicide, and the county lieutenant Qiao Mingshui was escorted to Kyoto. We
After discussing with several imperial envoys from the Ministry of Personnel, they felt that there should be no chaos in western Liaoning, and the vacant government offices needed someone to temporarily fill the post. Bai Yulou temporarily took over the post of county guard. There was also a candidate for the post of county captain, and Lang General Yuwen Chengchao was temporarily appointed as the replacement.
Therefore, the troops and horses in Guangning must be commanded by General Yu Wenlang, and the defense of Guangning City must also be handed over to General Yu Wenlang."
"We are willing to obey the military orders of Lieutenant Yuwen." Chu Hua reacted immediately and quickly offered his hand to Qin Xiao: "From now on, everyone in the Guangning Army is willing to accept the orders of the general and Lieutenant Yuwen."
When the others saw this, they all reacted, stood up and knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "I am willing to obey the orders of the general and Yuwen Commandery Lieutenant, even if I die!"
These people are not stupid people. They naturally know in their hearts that Liaoxi has changed after a series of changes. Since then, Liaoxi no longer belongs to the Liaodong Army's sphere of influence, but has become the foundation of Long Rui's Army.
In this case, if the Guangning Army wants to survive, the only choice is to be loyal to Qin Xiao.
In fact, everyone present did not feel too burdened about being loyal to Long Ruijun.
Yu Gong, the Long Rui Army was a military force sent by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The Emperor gave him the name "Long Rui". Looking at the Tang Dynasty, there are many people who can be given the banner of "Dragon" except the Kyoto Dragon Scale Imperial Guard.
There is only one Long Rui Army. In the hearts of Guangning generals, this Long Rui Army is naturally highly regarded by the saint.
Privately speaking, as long as Qin Xiao agrees to retain the Guangning Army, not only can the jobs of the two thousand officers and soldiers be saved, but also the years of hard work of the generals here can be saved. Being able to keep their military ranks and salary is of course the biggest demand of all the generals present.
Moreover, Qin Xiao made it very clear that if he could continue to serve as a soldier, he would be able to exempt part of his family's taxes, and the longer he served as a soldier, the more he would be exempted from. This alone could greatly benefit the entire Guangning Army.
Everyone knows that as long as Qin Xiao promulgates this decree, there will be countless people willing to serve as soldiers.
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Get up and talk. If you are willing to continue to be loyal to the imperial court, that is of course the best. However, the post of county captain will be held by General Yu Wenlang. How will the Guangning army be arranged? You still have to see General Yu Wenlang.
Let’s see what he says.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from outside. Soon, he saw Yu Wen Chengchao and Lu Xiaolou entering the hall together. When Qin Xiao saw this, he smiled and said, "What are you talking about?"
He waved to Yuwen Chengchao and said, "Lieutenant Yuwen, come over quickly and get to know everyone."
Yuwen Chengchao and Lu Xiaolou were also surprised when they saw a group of people in the hall.
"I'll wait for you, Commander Yuwen!" Chu Hua and others knew the current affairs. Seeing Qin Xiao waving to Yuwen Chengchao, they immediately knew that the tall and mighty general in front of them was the new Commandery. The future of the Guangning Army was at stake.
In the hands of Yuwen Juncheng, everyone immediately saluted Yuwen Chengchao.
"These are all generals of the Guangning Army." Qin Xiao said: "They told me that the officers and soldiers of the Guangning Army are willing to continue to be loyal to the court and are willing to obey the military orders of Yuwen Commandery. Yuwen Commandery, this Guangning
The army will be under your control from now on, these are your generals."
Yuwen Chengchao did not show any pretense. He nodded and said to the generals: "You go back to the camp first. I will talk to you in detail later."
Chu Hua and others didn't waste any words, saluted respectfully, and then saluted Qin Xiao before retreating.
"Two thousand well-trained officers and soldiers are under my command." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Young Master, you must train them well."
Yuwen Chengchao seemed to have known Qin Xiao's strategy for a long time, and also knew that Guangning's army would definitely be under his command. He did not continue the topic and glanced at Lu Xiaolou, who had already said to Qin Xiao: "General, Yuguan
News came from over there that Zhao Taiyan from the Zhao family in Liaodong was preparing to leave the customs with a caravan. According to the previous arrangements, Zhao Taiyan had been captured and all the goods of the caravan were seized. Zhao Taiyan was escorted here last night. I
I handed him over to Fei Shaoqing and when I came to report to you, you hadn't come back yet."
"If you hide ordnance, of course the goods will be seized." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "But other caravans in the customs that are preparing to transport goods to Fucheng will probably not leave the customs at this time."
Yuwen Chengchao nodded and said: "That should be the case. However, the Liaodong Army must be furious after hearing the news. I'm worried that Wang Xingchao will jump over the wall and send troops to attack the Black Mountain side. We will station in western Liaoning and transfer all the Qingzhou soldiers over. Long Rui Army
The main force of the battle is the Qingzhou Army. Now most of the troops under General Gu of Heishan are the remnants of the Queen Mother Society. Their combat capabilities are not strong. Once they are attacked by the Liaodong Army, they may not be able to withstand it." After a pause, he said: "Should we take Qingzhou?
The army will be mobilized to defend it? Then some troops and horses will be mobilized from over there."
Qin Xiao naturally also knew that cutting off the trade routes in Fucheng would quickly increase the pressure on his side. Yuwen Chengchao was worried that the Liaodong Army would be cut off from its financial resources. He was so angry that he completely broke up and fought against each other, so he had already started to prepare for it.
