Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the reward for Lu Cai. In any case, Lu Cai's incident was over.
In fact, the entire musician project is only a semi-finished product, but it is not convenient for me to take out the other half.
That requires musicians to educate the soldiers, provide literacy and patriotic education to the soldiers, and even let them know why they are fighting.
In other words, the musicians in the Musician Project are actually a cover. Essentially, what Li Tai wants to implement is the political commissar system.
But if you really want to implement a complete musician system, then the army will soon have the problem of whose order is the highest order.
Under such circumstances, I was afraid that I would be beaten violently by Li Shimin the next day, and if I was lucky, I would be banned for life or even exiled.
Another point is that economically, large-scale literacy for these veterans requires considerable manpower and material resources.
The current Li Tang court could not afford this expense. In fact, the military expenditure of more than a thousand military musicians alone made Li Shimin feel a little distressed.
But there is no way, this kind of thing that directly increases the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty army can only be done on top.
Li Tai also understands this, but Li Tai needs to prepare for his future, so he launched this musician plan.
That is, there are really too few people who are literate in this era. If you want to fully educate the army, it will take ten or even twenty years to train the required talents. In Li Tai's view, although he can contribute some, there is still another part.
It must come from a noble family.
But it's okay to ask aristocratic families to directly provide money, but it would be terrible to ask aristocratic families to provide people to popularize education.
Therefore, we should first submit the proposal of military musicians and let them take over the position of military musicians.
In the future, I will only need a piece of military order, and the military musicians will naturally start to educate the army.
What, if the military musicians of the aristocratic family don't cooperate?
Just kidding, as long as Lu Cai is still teaching in agricultural colleges, some of the military musicians can come from agricultural colleges.
No matter what happens in the future, military musicians will inevitably become one of their own forces to intervene in the army and carry out military reforms. The military only thinks that Li Tai is strengthening the imperial power and does not have too many ideas.
The aristocratic family will really suffer so much that they can't even speak of it.
After all, as long as a group is not united and has internal rifts, the so-called prisoner's dilemma is an inevitable survival situation for any group.
When that time comes, if I disobey military orders to scare the monkeys, and then arrange a group of students from agricultural colleges, this policy will be implemented almost 100%.
However, now I need students from my agricultural school to enter the position of military musicians.
It doesn't matter even if they are polished for ten or twenty years because they are students of agricultural colleges, because the harder they are suppressed in the army, and they can only stay in the position of military musicians. When they issue orders in the future, these soldiers will
The more loyal the musician becomes.
The Musician Plan is Li Tai's move against the Tang army. How far it can go will take time to settle.
After all, when you really want to get involved in the military, you not only have to promote the military yourself, but also the forces within the military.
So Li Tai proposed the musician plan.
What increased the strength of the Tang Dynasty's military, and why Lu Cai stayed at the Agricultural University, in reality, Li Tai just wanted to add sand to the army.
It's just that now I can't touch the military power, but I didn't say that I can't influence the military.
After all, it is normal to seize the direct descendants and bury a chess piece that will last ten or twenty years.
Just when Li Tai thought that today's affairs could be over and was about to take Lu Cai away, someone outside shouted:
"Nanfu is a great victory, Nanfu is a great victory, Nanfu is a great victory..."
Continuous shouts came, and the messenger came all the way to the outside of Liangyi Palace, and gave the information to the chamberlain, who sent it in.
The chamberlain quickly sent this memorial to Li Shimin. After Li Shimin read it, he repeatedly said:
"My lords, the rebellion of the Liao people in Nanfuzhou has been solved by Feng Ang and Zhijie. They are really using their troops very quickly!"
Li Shimin said here to Li Tai: "The medical soldiers in the hospital system you proposed to establish also played a big role.
If it weren't for them, Zhijie's army would probably miss its deadline!"
"Aye made a wise decision in this matter, and he has the skillful hands of a doctor and a benevolent heart. Qingque should not be praised!" Li Tai said calmly.
Li Chengqian looked at Li Tai being praised in this way by Li Shimin. He was really envious, and he really wanted to be praised like this.
"The Eastern Turks in the north have been pacified, and the officials in the south have been settled. It is truly the prosperous age of our Tang Dynasty. Today, we will hold a banquet in the Linde Hall to celebrate the peace and prosperity of our Tang Dynasty and the people. My lords, you and I will not return until we get drunk!" Li Shimin said proudly!
.
"Thank you saint for hosting the banquet!" the ministers responded loudly to Li Shimin, dancing enthusiastically.
Wei Zheng looked at this scene and was about to get up, because he felt that there was no need to be so extravagant and wasteful.
However, Fang Xuanling, who was sitting on the side dealing with government affairs, quickly grabbed Wei Zheng's sleeve and shook his head at Wei Zheng. There was no need to let Wei Zheng disturb everyone's interest.
Facing Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng still gave him face, and in a blink of an eye, the banquet started.
To be honest, the biggest threat to the Tang Dynasty due to the Liao rebellion in the south was not actually the combat power of the Liao people, but the non-combat attrition caused by the almost dire straits in the south.
Turning forward the time, Cheng Zhijie led his army from Guiyang on the Jiangnan West Road and entered Lingnan. He was really getting more and more angry as he went.
Cheng Zhijie said to the army, "We have entered the boundary of Lingnan Road. The whole army has set up camp to make fire and make food. We will continue to advance tomorrow.
Isn’t it already autumn? Why is this damn place still so hot?”
Cheng Zhijie sighed, fortunately, along the way, at least as far as Jiangnan Road, the army could eat wherever they went.
Relying on the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, although the road was spared, the boats traveled day and night, which was much faster than the land. But when they arrived in Guiyang, although they could still get supplies in the prefectures and counties controlled by the imperial court, the speed slowed down.
This is an almost undeveloped area for Datang, with almost nothing except a few vaguely overgrown avenues.
Cheng Zhijie felt that he had taken on a bad job and thought about how to beat up those officials so as to vent his hatred.
At this time, Liu Shenwei came outside Cheng Zhijie's tent to report. Cheng Zhijie was slightly stunned, but he let Liu Shenwei in.
To be honest, as a general, I still respect doctors. After all, those who lick blood from the edge of a knife on the battlefield clearly know how many soldiers under his command can be saved by the existence of a doctor.
"Mr. Cheng, I have something to report!" Liu Shenwei came to Cheng Zhijie and said.
"What's the matter, Doctor Liu?" Cheng Zhijie saw Liu Shenwei's arrival and asked politely, "Just say it."
Liu Shenwei said calmly: "I also ask General Manager Cheng to control the soldiers and not play in the river in the south.
In addition, along the way, our medical camp has consumed 7788% of the realgar powder and lime. When we arrived at Lingnan Road, we hoped that the general manager could replenish it.
If possible, prohibit the sergeants from drinking cold water and switch them all to hot water. The environment here in Lingnan is terrible. Manager Wangcheng should pay attention!"
"The stream is clean, it's okay!" Cheng Zhijie waved his hand and said, "I can't get the realgar powder and lime at the moment. After all, I'm not familiar with Lingnan Road. When we meet up with the Feng An tribe, we'll go find it.
Feng Shangzhuguo asked."
"Then the sergeant is drinking hot water!" Liu Shenwei looked at Cheng Zhijie with some expectancy.
"Drinking hot water requires cutting firewood. The soldiers march fifty or sixty miles every day, so how can they find the strength to chop firewood?
Moreover, this southern firewood is damp and moist, so it is afraid of smoke billowing out when it burns. Whether it burns or not, you will definitely choke on the smoke first.
You! Don’t bring the extravagant atmosphere in Chang’an into the army, as long as you can treat the soldiers well!"
Cheng Zhijie took a few steps forward and patted Liu Shenwei on the shoulder. He said as if I have eaten more salt than you have eaten,
"Although most of these soldiers are from Jiangnan Taoism, they are all in good health and nothing will happen to them!"
Well, the group of people led by Cheng Zhijie are really soldiers from Jiangnan Road, not directly dispatched from Chang'an.
After all, Chang'an also has to consider the consumption of food and grass and adapt to the environment in the Lingnan region, so it is impossible to send troops directly from Chang'an.
Although Cheng Zhijie is the airborne leader of Jiangnan Road, it is not difficult to convince these Jiangnan Road soldiers with his name, the shadow of the tree, and his own bodyguards.
This was also the reason why Cheng Zhijie needed to pass through the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. After all, the medical camp and personal guards, as well as incidental supplies, especially medical supplies, could be delivered quickly through waterways.
But now, Cheng Zhijie can know from the battle report sent by Feng Ang that the progress of the Lio people is not fast. In other words, after these Lio people overthrew Chen Longshu and occupied Nanfuzhou, they committed the same mistakes as many peasant armies and were fascinated by the world of flowers.
Blinded.
Even though Gaoliang was just a rural place to Cheng Zhijie, to the Liao people living by the stream, it was almost a paradise, and this was the only prosperity they could imagine.
Under such circumstances, the chiefs of the various caves of the Liao people began to sit in rows one by one, dividing the fruits and fruits, and began to cause harm by not wanting to make progress.
After all, Cheng Zhijie himself had been with the rebels, and he knew exactly what would happen to such rebels after their eyes were blinded by victory.
Strictly speaking, this problem also existed within the original Wagang Village, which led to its subsequent disintegration.
Therefore, Cheng Zhijie is not in a hurry. As long as his own bodyguards are not in chaos, if those soldiers want to enjoy themselves, then they can go.
As long as he didn't disobey military orders, Cheng Zhijie would turn a blind eye.
After all, a war is about to begin, why can't we let the soldiers relax?
"General, this Lingnan area is full of snakes and insects, and is full of dangers. Even the mosquitoes are much larger than those in the north. Don't underestimate them!" Seeing that Cheng Zhijie didn't pay attention to them at all, Liu Shenwei couldn't help but said anxiously.
Liu Shenwei opened his mouth when he saw Cheng Zhijie, but he didn't say anything more.
After Liu Shenwei set up the camp, he took some of the medical camp doctors to collect medicine.
Because a large part of the medical camps are students, most of the medicinal materials they come into contact with are in medicine gardens, or simple Chinese patent medicines that have been dried and processed. Many people have never seen such almost original medicinal materials.
Been there.
After all, in the past, students who studied medicine basically taught their apprentices one-on-one, collected herbs in the mountains, and how to find the antidote within five steps. These are the basic common sense of doctors.
But for this group of students, because they came from the accelerated model of agricultural colleges, this part of the knowledge is somewhat lacking, and now they can just make up for it.
At the same time, Liu Shenwei was also looking for some local repellent medicine. After all, realgar powder and limestone were about to run out, so he also needed to get some home-made insect repellent medicine. The worst thing is to throw it directly into the fire and burn it.
The smell of smoke has the effect of repelling mosquitoes. For Liu Shenwei, this is the limit of what the medical camp can do.
Cheng Zhijie didn't believe in his own judgment, and Liu Shenwei couldn't help it. After all, the one who really made the decision in the military camp was Cheng Zhijie!
Liu Shenwei spent an hour identifying the herbs as usual, and then returned to the camp.
However, soon at night, some soldiers in the camp developed dizziness and diarrhea, and some even developed a high fever!
This incident alarmed Cheng Zhijie almost immediately, because in this era there was no specific medicine for fever, and one could only rely on one's own body to fight it off. It could be said that after a fever, even if one was not pronounced dead, it was equivalent to resigning oneself to fate.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Jie knew that he was a veteran of marching and fighting, so he immediately isolated all these people and invited Liu Shenwei to come over.
To be honest, Cheng Zhijie basically treated this group of people as a plague and dealt with them directly.
After a long time, the doctor Liu Shenwei put the sweat towel on his face into boiling water, and then said to Cheng Zhijie:
"Mr. Chen, this plague came suddenly. I have used local materials and combined with acupuncture to temporarily suppress the symptoms.
But these soldiers may no longer be able to follow the army, at least they will not be able to recover in a short period of time."
"Thanks to Divine Doctor Liu!" Cheng Zhijie said with a serious expression, "It is a taboo to have plague in the military camp. Does the miracle doctor have a way to avoid it?"
“Every time we set up camp, we need to cover the ground with lime, and even more, we need to sweep it with realgar. Only in this way can we keep away insects and ants.
Soldiers could no longer wade into water easily every day, and drinking water needed to be boiled before drinking.
It is best to first look for nearby large villages and towns. Since these villages and towns have lived here for a long time, they should have corresponding medicinal materials and earthworks.
What's more important is that these soldiers can be temporarily accommodated so that they can have a place to rest.
Otherwise, if they continue running around, they will definitely die!" Liu Shenwei said with a serious look.
"Please rest assured, Divine Doctor Liu, the army will definitely comply with your orders!"
Cheng Zhijie also understood now that he had underestimated the harsh environment of this poor place in Lingnan.
I had just arrived at the border of Lingnan, and yet I received such a humiliation.
However, Cheng Zhijie also knew that what was more important at this time was to stabilize the morale of the military.
After setting up camp every day, he personally patrolled and comforted the soldiers. As for the soldiers who had suffered from the plague, they did not abandon them. Instead, under the guidance of Liu Shenwei, he sent people to carry these patients forward on simple stretchers.
After almost three days' journey, we arrived at Linhe in Hezhou. Although it is in the countryside, it is still a city at the state and county level. There is no problem in arranging some sick soldiers.
The most important thing was to get in touch with Feng Ang. The coalition forces from both sides soon gathered in Wuzhou. There were about 30,000 people in total. For Lingnan Road, it was a force that could almost sweep the entire Lingnan Road.
