Those in high positions, the dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty, no longer enjoy the food at the banquet, but enjoy their status.
During the banquet, the supplies on the flying boat were being moved box after box.
"Your Highness, the Yiwu Army and the Gaochang Army are also our sergeants of the Tang Dynasty. If we favor one over the other, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction in the hearts of the attached soldiers. Therefore, this time, I would like to ask Your Highness to favor the Yiwu and Gaochang armies." What Li Xiaogong called was
Your Highness, not Wu Lang, this represents a formal proposal.
Li Yuanxing did not answer immediately, but looked back at Wei Ting, and immediately shook his head gently. His eyes once again shifted to Li Chengqian and Li Ke.
The two of them understood that they were waiting for their words.
Based on their age and regardless of their status, King Qin's inquiry can only represent a test, but does not really need their opinions.
Li Ke took the first step and said: "Since you are loyal to the Tang Dynasty, even though you cannot have the same treatment as the sergeant of the Tang Dynasty, our Tang Dynasty has benefited all over the world, so giving a reward may be a good plan."
Li Yuanxing had been paying attention to the expressions of the two people. It was obvious that Li Chengqian was biting his lip and looking slightly sideways at Li Ke.
When Li Ke finished speaking, Li Chengqian said: "Uncle Five Emperors, Cheng Qian believes that when the Tang Dynasty was founded, each class had its own distinction between high and low. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are the foundation of our Tang Dynasty, and the people of Gaochang are just lower-class people.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t reward me!”
"Very good!" Li Yuanxing nodded slightly and said to Wei Ting: "Thank you for your hard work, Chang Shi. The sergeants of the Tang Dynasty have fired many times, and the Yiwu army followed the Tang army. The Gaochang army was reduced by half. Among the two armies, there are those who have military merit.
Give me a little reward."
"Yes!" Wei Ting would not ask such trivial matters as how much the reward would be.
What's more, he doesn't need to go in person to distribute supplies, he just needs to make a plan.
Li Yuan has been observing, Li Yuanxing adopted the suggestions of two people, Li Ke's approach was not smooth enough, and there was some suspicion of competing for credit. Li Chengqian may have had similar ideas to Li Ke, but he did not support Li Ke, but forced
He bravely came up with another plan.
What the two princes did was not good enough.
Li Yuan was slightly disappointed. As for Li Yuanxing, he was the best among foxes. Li Yuan did not comment.
During the banquet, an order was issued for the senior officers of each regiment to assemble, and the regiments were ordered to prepare to receive the New Year's labor rewards after dinner.
At the banquet, Li Yuanxing just said hello to Ni She and said nothing more.
After the dust-washing banquet, eight huge lights illuminated an open space of about 20 acres where the flying boat was docked. A thousand Guards troops around Li Xiaogong were on guard, and three regiments were selected to be responsible for transportation inside.
In the Tang Dynasty, a regiment consisted of 200 people, and a regiment and two brigades each had 100 people. They were further divided into two teams, each team had five groups of ten people each.
The Tang Dynasty's regular army stationed here in the northwest consists of one guard, with a full strength of 36,000 people. In addition, there are 24,000 auxiliary troops.
Later, the armies of Yiwu and Gaochang were incorporated and reorganized, so the northwest Tang Dynasty alone had more than 100,000 troops stationed.
Each town and garrison (SHU). It also showed that people were sent over to collect their share of supplies. There were only dozens of remote towns. The garrison did not come because they were too far away.
"Your Highness, get ready!" Wei Ting whispered from the side.
Li Yuanxing took a deep breath, raised his hand and picked up a list of items written by Wang Gui, and handed it to the captain who was first in line: "Don't worry about home, everything is fine at home. Guard the border for the Tang Dynasty."
,Thanks for your hard work."
"Swear to death for me, the Tang Dynasty!" the captain shouted.
Next, the captain stepped back. With the item's list, the captain called his men to push the cart in to pick up the item.
What is a package in a sack? The sergeants didn't know. Next, there were two hundred oil paper packages, one hundred iron cans, one wooden box, forty altars, five bamboo baskets, and iron seals
One box.
Li Yuanxing, King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, the Supreme Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xin, the Wise Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Hou Junji, Minister of the Ministry of War of the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Zhijie, General of the Youwu Guard of the Tang Dynasty, Shi Weiting, Chief of the Palace of the Prince of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian, the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty,
Prince Li Ke of the Tang Dynasty took turns distributing supplies to each regiment.
This is the royal family, this is a gift from the Tang Dynasty.
The night is already deep, but this is a sleepless night.
There were noisy sounds in the military camp, and there were many people shouting.
Li Xiaogong ordered in front of Li Yuanxing: "Go ahead, as long as it's not a fight over grabbing something, tonight... you won't be exempted from liability!"
What was carried on the flying boat?
Outside Yizhou City, there is a mixed military camp. One army has five regiments. This is the system of the Tang Dynasty. It is impossible to form Yiwu or Gaochang into separate armies. Not to mention that the court is not at ease, even Li Xiaogong himself is not at ease.
.
The leader of this army is a guerrilla general from the fifth rank.
The supplies of the five regiments were piled there. Together with the 600 auxiliary soldiers of his army, a total of 1,600 people lit up torches and stood on the school ground. Among them, the combat soldiers included two regiments of the Tang Army and two Yiwu regiments.
The regiment, Gaochang First Regiment, and the auxiliary troops were mixed. There were only 100 people in Tang Dynasty, 300 people in Yiwu, and 200 people in Gaochang.
"What are these? I'm afraid if you don't open this now, you guys won't be able to sleep well."
Many sergeants laughed, and one captain shouted: "General, open it and take a look."
As a general, he naturally has a more detailed list on hand. This was handed down from above, so that he can make a comparison and ask for it again in case there is a shortage.
"This time, our army received seven and a half shares. The accounts are clear. The brothers from Gaochang came late and received half a share. So this is considered a loss of one share, but within the year, our army had two
The merits of the war against the bandits were eliminated, so I received an additional half share. Brothers in Gaochang, don’t complain, this general is in charge. We are all brothers who eat from the same pot. These things are evened out."
"The general is wise!" the soldiers below shouted.
The people of Gaochang had no hope of having them, after all, they had only joined for two months. Halfway through, they were already grateful in their hearts. This evened the score, but it was a sign of brotherhood within an army.
"What this linen bag is, I'll tell you at the end. Let's talk about this can first, the pickles we were given, the fish from the sea, and the fruits from Lingnan, the sweet fruits. Come, set up a fire, burn it, and eat it.
Rehu!”
Is it black? Canned fruits also need to be heated. In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, many people ate fruits cooked, and not many actually ate them raw, so heating was considered normal by the Tang people.
Soon, the fire was set up.
"Each group, two hundred roast chickens. Don't move these things. Dig a hole in the snow and store them. We will eat them during the New Year's Eve. Each group has a box of sugar. You must know that this sugar can be a precious thing. Today, everyone will receive it.
One piece, and keep the rest. The jar is filled with wine and the finest red hooves, a famous dish from Prince Qin's palace, which are kept for the New Year."
All the troops were drooling when they heard this.
A soldier of the Tang Army said to the Yiwu soldier beside him: "This is a good thing. Although it is ordinary, it is not easy to make. It is not available even in Chang'an City. Only the Palace of Qin has spent so much effort to make it, and it can be divided by one person."
The last one, you can even bite it with your fingers."
The more I talk about this, the more I drool.
Not to mention pig trotters, a school captain, whether intentionally or unintentionally, put a few oil paper packages wrapped with roasted chicken into the fire. When heating the can, those few roasted chickens were
It exudes an extremely delicious aroma.
"General, let's celebrate the New Year this year. Who can bear these things?"
"A bunch of bastards who don't even know how to save money." The general laughed and cursed.
The sergeants below also booed.
"Okay, there are no generals here, and there are no big soldiers. According to five people, one will be opened first, and then ten jars of wine will be opened. Don't call anyone the wine master. This is the fairy wine from the Prince of Qin's Palace shipped from Chang'an.
.Get it together!”
The general gave the order, and dozens of captains rushed forward, put on a show, put the chickens on the racks, and placed them next to the fire. Some captains were still shouting: "Look at each one, everyone."
The team will send people to keep an eye on their own, and if the time comes, they won’t do anything. If anyone dares to fight, the general’s whip will be merciless!”
The military regulations of the Tang Dynasty were still very strict. The sergeants dared to joke with their superiors, but they did not dare to break the military regulations.
A basket was opened.
"What is this? Even I, let alone you, have never seen it. I heard that this is a good thing that Yaozhou just made. The first batch of it was naturally sent to the palace for the Holy Emperor to use. This is
The second batch was not sold to Chang'an City, but was brought to us. I don't know whether this thing is worth anything. But who has seen such a soft and beautiful thing? I heard General Li say,
Even the ladies from Chang'an City can't buy this thing in Yaozhou."
"General, what is this?" the sergeants shouted.
"Clothes, clothes that fit close to the body. I can't tell you how good they are, but I can't tell you how good they are. Each person has two sets, and four pairs of socks. Only when you put them on will you know how good they are."
It's winter now. Although it doesn't snow, it's very cold in the northwest.
At that moment, the strong captain stripped himself naked and was about to try on the clothes. However, he was kicked off by the general: "You stink all over, and these snow-white clothes are stained by you.
Go away and clean yourself up."
In winter, cold water, bitingly cold water. A few strong captains brushed it directly on their bodies with brushes.
After putting on the clothes, several people wearing the clothes were silent. They could not describe the clothes in words. Only one captain said: "If I don't fight for His Highness, I'm sorry for this clothes!"
The leading general didn't say anything, but just opened the iron box: "What you just did was a laborer, and this is the reward." After that, he took out a silver coin from the box and flicked it out hard, and the crisp sound affected many people.
"We all have silver coins in our wars, but no one has ever seen soldiers like silver coins."
The lowest grade of silver coins of the Tang Dynasty was those of the Twenty-Four Heroes.
But Li Yuanxing made a special silver coin weighing seven cents, non-standard, with an octagonal soldier's head.
Many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty cried. The Yiwu people did not understand, and the people of Gaochang even less understood. Only the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty knew what this silver coin represented.
"Cry, I've cried enough for today!" The leading general used his knife to open the linen bag, tore it open hard, and threw it down: "Take a look, this is the letter from home that His Highness brought you. There is a plan. One, none is bad, everyone has it!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
