Faced with the opportunity to choose a soldier, no one refused.
The hospital camp was lucky enough to have 2,000 people assisting them. All of them signed their stamps and eagerly joined the Tang Army and became a glorious soldier.
Tongjunfu was called Yingyangfu in the Sui Dynasty, and in the early Tang Dynasty it was called Piaoqifu and Cheqifu. In the 7th year of Wude, it was changed to Tongjunfu. Later, in the 10th year of Zhenguan, it was changed to Chongfu until the military system collapsed.
"General Wu Zhen, Hospital Town is responsible for going to Yanjing Village to garrison and guard."
Wei Governor Shi Qin Xingqi came to announce the order of the Qinzhou Governor's Office. This Qin Xingqi was said to be a fellow of the Wu family in Hedong. Qin Xingshi, the Governor of Qinzhou, was his elder brother and an old minister of Yuancong in Taiyuan.
Perhaps because they were both fellows from Hedong, or perhaps because the Qin and Wu families were both members of Li Yuanyuan, Qin Xingqi was very close to Huaiyu.
"Yanjingzhai is a good place. In the pre-Qin Dynasty, wells were dug to boil salt. First there was Zhangyan and then Zhangxian County. Now there are three salt wells in Yanjingzhai that were dug during the Qin Dynasty and have been used to this day. You know
When Yanjing Village is the busiest, how much benefit can there be from producing salt in one day?"
He stretched out his hand and made an eight sign.
"The salt produced in Yanjingzhai is of excellent quality and is the top grade of green salt. Its daily salt output can be sold at a profit of 800 horses."
A horse in Chang'an costs 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. Even if horses are worthless in this borderland, they must be worth a few guan. Can the salt produced in a day be worth 1,000 guan or 2,000 guan?
Then this is a cornucopia.
He can't read, let alone write his name, so this fingerprint represents him, Hou San.
Hou San's hands were trembling as he stretched out his hand, but he didn't dare to take it.
To be honest, Lao Wu has been very kind to him since he was rewarded as a slave by the samurai Ke, and he has been loyal to him for many years, even carrying Lao Wu out of the dead more than once. Lao Wu then married him,
He was given a cave to live in, and he was even given fifty acres of land for planting.
With the press of his fingerprint, he, a member of the Wu family, a pariah without even a household registration, a man who once rebelled due to hunger, worked as a horse thief in troubled times, was captured by the army and became a slave, and finally joined the Wu family as a member of the family.
At the age of ten, he became a soldier of the Tang Dynasty.
Some large tribes even directly attacked Yanjing Village and Zhangxian County.
Pour the salt water into a large pot and boil it for about six hours. Fifty pounds of water can produce about 14 to 5 pounds of salt. During the Taiping Period of the Sui Dynasty, there were hundreds of salt-making workshops here, and the salt-making industry also promoted
The salt trade and many surrounding people provide firewood here.
"The enemy's swords and arrows on the battlefield do not distinguish between officers, soldiers, and slaves. You killed the captives without any excuse. This time, the manager of Chai Da also acted justly and rewarded the emperor on behalf of the court."
After being seriously injured, he once entrusted his wife and children to Huaiyu. He said that he had a humble status as a businessman and only wanted to fight for his wife and children.
You have to take care of your own people, because everyone has selfish motives.
"Congratulations to Uncle Hou, you are now a soldier in the Weizhou Tongjun Mansion under the right guard."
For this kind of kindness, it is indeed not an exaggeration to kowtow. Chen Xing also got the hospital town and joined the army from the eighth grade Xiacang Cao. After he got this position, he knelt down and kowtowed to Huaiyu directly to express his gratitude.
"You paid for this with your life, as you should."
"I'm just an addendum."
Ma Zhou, who had been abstaining from alcohol for some time, now wanted to drink heavily and had a strong desire to get drunk. This was not because he was addicted to alcohol, but because his heart was agitated and his excitement was uncontrollable.
The hospital town was newly established and stationed in Yanjingzhai. Its mission was to protect the salt boiling industry in Yanjingzhai, protect the Zhangmin Salt Road, protect the salt trade industry, and restore the Tang and Tibetan salt-horse mutual trade in Zhangxian County.
Weizhou cannot lose Zhangyan, just like the West cannot...
There are too many interested parties involved in a salt well village, including the royal court's taxation, the interests of local powerful people who make and sell salt, the army even needs the salt from the salt wells, and some smuggling...
In this way, he survived tenaciously, and his sister eventually became Wu Junya's concubine. He became a dental servant, and his life became better. He also married a wife and had children, but he still longed to make achievements.
He never thought that one day he would become a soldier of the Tang Dynasty.
The reward that the hospital camp received this time was indeed rare. Chai Shao was more courageous and directly served as a soldier in Weizhou. He did not even care about his children, tribesmen, or civilians. He would reward him for his merits, and even give him an official.
Qin Changshi brought a batch of grain and grass, and also sent some sheep, suggesting that the next batch of supplies had to be collected in Yanjing Village.
On the surface, he tried to remain calm, but his trembling hands when he accepted the appointment betrayed his innermost feelings.
Register, make a list, catalog.
Now the Turks are causing chaos in Longyou, and the Qiang tribes have taken the opportunity to plunder, making Yanjing Village deserted, and there are fewer caravans on the salt road. If this continues, no one can stand it.
This time he came to the Longyou battlefield as Huaiyi Buqu, just like he had followed the warrior Ke to the battlefield many times before. As a Buqu, he acted as the family leader's pawn, serving, fighting, and grabbing trophies.
Zhang salt belongs to well salt, but it can be collected from the pre-Qin Dynasty to the present. The biggest advantage is that the salt wells are connected to salt springs, and the brine is live, so it is very convenient to obtain. Unlike the bottomless salt wells in Bashu, Zhang salt was left by the Qin Dynasty.
The three salt wells are still in use after more than a thousand years, and they are still only two feet deep.
But now, Longyou is in chaos, and most of Weizhou's soldiers are out fighting, so the Qiang people can't suppress them. Even though Chai Shaogang defeated Tuyuhun and Dangxiang, there is still chaos.
Hou San solemnly spit and rubbed his thumb clean, then wiped it on his clothes several times. Finally, he dipped the red mud into the ink pad very sacredly, and then carefully and seriously aimed at the form, solemnly.
He pressed his fingerprint.
For three consecutive days, the camp outside Xiangwu City was extremely noisy. Fortunately, within three days, all the soldiers from Xindian Prefecture were finally integrated into the Weizhou Sitong Military Prefecture. With the efforts of Huaiyu and others, the 500 soldiers from Hospital Town were
The border troops were also selected from the four unified military mansions.
They will be on duty in the hospital town and will be rotated after one year. It will take much longer than the time to go to the capital to guard the city. But the five hundred soldiers who were drawn have no complaints, especially those who followed Huaiyu from the original hospital
Camp soldiers.
Along the Zhangshui River Valley, there is a caravan salt road heading west to Minba and Shu, called the Zhangmin Salt Road. Caravans selling salt pass by on this road every day.
Now that the Turks have been driven away, if Longyou wants to recover, it also needs money and food. Where does the money and food come from? Salt is an important source.
"I can't afford to delay it."
in the camp,
The scene of two thousand people being elected as soldiers together was a spectacular sight.
The four unified military prefectures in Weizhou, with 5,000 troops in their heyday, were still able to intimidate the Qiang. In the past, it was the Qiang people on the Mintao side who dared to cause trouble, especially the Western Qiang people west of the Tao River who made trouble near Tuguhun.
Those east of the river, especially those on the Wei River Basin, are relatively honest and belong to Shubo.
He traveled west to Beijing for several years and gained nothing. He was so poor that he couldn't even afford food and lodging. Even the merchants and clerks laughed at him. Now, he has become an eighth-grade junior. I remember when he was a low-ranking assistant in Bozhou.
Dr. Zhou looked down upon him very much, and often scorned and ridiculed him. Dr. Zhou was only a ninth grader, and he had already surpassed him.
It is very convenient to get the brine, there is an endless supply, and you can get the best green salt by boiling it day and night.
"Well, the General Manager of Chai University undertook the title of worship and awarded it to you on behalf of the imperial court. This is also a reward for your military exploits in two battles. You followed my brother in the charge, broke through the enemy camp, and cut off the heads of three enemies in two battles.
, brought back five horses, seized two pairs of armor, and captured a Turkic cavalry, these military exploits are very remarkable. During your first battle in Wushanchuan, beating drums to support the battle also greatly boosted morale."
After saying this, Huaiyu handed him another certificate, which was to confer on Hou San the deputy of the Tongjunfu team, a military position from the ninth rank.
The hospital town clerk joined the army and was demoted from the eighth rank. He was responsible for handling documents, supervising the seals, supervising the administration, and correcting wrongdoings.
"That's great. When this guy comes, he will definitely kowtow to Erlang to thank him."
"The Longyou Weihe River Valley Basin, Qinzhou Fuqiang Salt Spring City, Chengzhou Yanguan City, and Weizhou Zhang County's Yanjing Village are the three places where salt production is of the best quality, high yield, and easiest to transport. Their salt not only supplies
Throughout Longyou, it is even sold as far away as Guanzhong, Shannan, and Bashu, and many Qiang and Yi tribes also eat these salts."
"The Governor's Office hopes that General Wu can select the troops as soon as possible and station in Yanjing Village as soon as possible."
Zhao Xin is currently lying in Longxi City recuperating from his injuries and missed this rare scene.
"It's a pity that Xin Zhao is not here." Chen Xing sighed to Huaiyu,
Zhao Xin was most eager to make achievements. After learning about his life experience, Huaiyu also admired Zhao Xin. When Zhao Xin was only four years old, his father died. When Zhao Xin was seven years old, his mother died again. He took the four-year-old Zhao Xin with him.
The 3-year-old sister survived by begging. At such a young age, she fought for food with beggars and dogs. She even had to act as both a father and a mother to her sister who was three years younger than him.
"Zhangsalt is very important to Weizhou and even Longyou, especially now that there are constant wars and a lack of military supplies," Qin Xingqi told Huaiyu. Because of the continuous wars in recent years, the salt industry in Yanjingzhai has been greatly affected, and it is not
The Shaoqiang people also began to set up Yanjing Village and the Zhangmin Salt Road. Some small Qiang tribes directly robbed and looted the salt road, killing people, stealing goods, stealing salt and robbing people.
"That guy was very lucky. His intestines fell out, but he didn't die or become disabled. He just needs to be recuperated." He worked diligently and flexibly with Huaiyu. He had been a team member of Huaiyu Hospital for a long time. This time Chai Shao discussed
Rewarded for his meritorious deeds and highly recommended by Huaiyu, Zhao Xin finally got Cao Cao, an eighth-grade soldier from Hospital Town, to join the army.
"Put your fingerprints here." Ma Zhou said with a smile.
He thrust the body directly into his hand.
"Am I an official?"
Hospital Town has 500 frontier troops, 200 crossbowmen, 200 spear and shield soldiers, and 100 cavalry.
After the hospital army was changed into a hospital town, the number was greatly reduced. Huaiyu didn't care that he changed from the general manager of the hospital army to the general of the hospital town.
Not caring about allotment of land, settlement, and naturalization, Huaiyu had to go to Yanjing Village immediately.
The plan is to rush to Longxi County first, and go upstream from the mouth of the Xinxing Sichuan Zhanghe River where they fought last time, about 120 miles away. Although there is a small road from Weizhou to Zhangxian County for only 60 miles, it has to go over mountains and mountains.
The mountain range also passes through some Qiang tribes, so Huaiyu would rather walk a little longer.
