Chapter 1635: Jin soldiers attack Ninghe, conversation in the camp
"Everyone has a share of fifty taels, but if you have parents in your family, you will receive twenty taels of silver and thirty taels of various things. If you don't have any relatives, you will be given fifty taels of silver directly! Wonderful!
My son is busy and working hard, so he should have more, so it is eighty taels!"
"More rewards from the two ladies!"
Miao'er led everyone to worship.
"Okay, you can leave! In the afternoon, I will give the things and silver I prepared to Miao'er, and ask Miao'er to distribute them to you. If you need to bring something to your home, I wrote a list to Miao'er, and I asked her to
Miao'er, go find Mrs. Lian'er to arrange things for you."
Everyone bowed again and then left the room.
Then, Isa took Aguo's hand and said, "Sister Aguo, I also prepared one for you. Of course it's not as good as your sisters. It's just some brocade silk, tea cakes and the like. I hope my sister won't dislike it.
yes!"
"Aguo, thank you two sisters!"
Aguo said movedly.
She originally thought that she and Sister Ayi would be in a competitive relationship, but she did not expect that these two sisters actually took great care of her and were as close as sisters on weekdays.
Such a home is obviously different from what she imagined. I don't know how much better it is than she imagined...
"Commander, urgent report from Lintao Road. Two days ago, General Turhaxue under Dankening's command crossed the Taoshui River at night and made a surprise attack on Ninghe River from about 20 miles south of Dingqiang Walled City to the west!"
"The Xia and Liao defenders in Ninghe were not deceived and opened the city gate. The defenders in the city were killed and the food route to the rear was cut off! Zhang Hua, the commander of the Xia and Liao soldiers and horses, ordered the troops to retreat hundreds of miles from Dingqiang Walled City to Hezhou Fucheng
Hold on!"
Shen Tang, who was sitting upright in the tent, exclaimed, "As expected of Tu Shan Kening, Zhang Hua still underestimated the West Route Army! Marching on the snowy road is not easy for other soldiers and horses, but Tu Shan Kening's elite can
Do it! It seems that the war between the two parties will be suspended this time, and it is estimated that it will not continue until spring next year when the flowers bloom!"
With that said, Shen Tang said to his generals, "I have told you a long time ago that you must not underestimate the heroes of the world! The soldiers and horses we have gathered are indeed elite soldiers and strong generals, but whether it is the Jin Kingdom or Na Xia
The soldiers and horses of the Liao Dynasty all have their own unique features! Next, when we fight with them, if we are careless, we will be defeated, and we will also harm many soldiers!"
"I will obey the commander-in-chief's instructions!"
All the generals responded in unison.
During this period of time, although the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty had not gone to war, the generals were also constantly rehearsing the war! There was a bit of disdain for the fighting between the two sides in the North!
Nowadays, Shen Tang’s soldiers and horses are strong. Their physical fitness, horse quality, and armor quantity are all unimaginable before! This also makes the generals a little more arrogant and courageous! This is a good thing and a bad thing. Soldiers can’t do without courage, but if one
Being arrogant is the way to death.
This surprise attack by the Jin Kingdom seems simple, but it is really exciting when you say it.
First of all, it is difficult to travel on the snowy road! It requires elite knights to do it. Secondly, you need to have enough courage! Ninghe is the rear of Dingqiang City. If Ninghe City is not conquered, then this army will be defeated by the Xia Liao army.
Under the encirclement and suppression, there is only one way to die! Therefore, even the generals in the camp are indeed respectful and alert.
"Okay! The reason why I say this is just to make you a little more cautious! Their troops are indeed not weak, but how can my subordinates be easy to provoke?
We have 20,000 elite cavalry, and the rest of the soldiers and horses have become more refined after repeated training. If those guys encounter us, how can I be afraid?"
When all the generals heard this, they all laughed loudly! Even if they didn't have confidence in themselves, how could they not have confidence in this commander?
Most of these generals have fought with Shen Tang, so don’t they know how powerful Shen Tang is?
"Besides, the Chinese New Year is coming soon! We brothers are going to celebrate the Chinese New Year here.
The brothers were all in a bad mood. Although the fighting hadn't started yet, Chen Bing was still outside.
I have already requested an order from Your Majesty, and all the soldiers and horses in the camp will receive double salary in this last month!"
"The last general takes charge of the camp. I would like to express my gratitude to the emperor for his kindness. Thank you so much, Commander!"
The generals drank loudly.
The monthly pay for ordinary soldiers is not much, but it is also a celebration! Moreover, this money can be put to great use if it is left at home! I think the soldiers in the camp will be happy!
"You don't need to thank me, Commander! It's not easy even in the cold weather. The soldiers deserve it! But let me tell you guys below, save these coins for later when you go home to buy some things for your parents, wife and children. It's right.
If anyone in the army dares to gamble, eat and play randomly, don't blame me for being ruthless in military law!"
As soon as this statement came out, the generals naturally laughed.
"Where is the Quartermaster!"
Shen Tang shouted again and said to the quartermaster below, "At least your Majesty and the imperial court are considerate of us. Now there is ample food, rice and military pay. You must prepare wine and meat for the soldiers in advance! On New Year's Eve, if If there are soldiers who cannot eat meat, I will just throw them into the pot and boil them for you to make amends to my son-in-law!"
"Don't worry, Commander!"
The quartermaster responded with a grimace, "Young Ding, please prepare supplies in advance and you will never make the soldiers suffer."
In other large camps, the mid-level quartermaster is definitely a fat job. Even if the soldiers in the camp starve to death, the quartermaster's pocket will definitely be rich! But how strict is Shen Tang in running the army?
Anyone who dares to attack military supplies will probably have grass growing on their graves.
Although he was responsible for the distribution of grain and grass in the army, he did not dare to take any action! Before this quartermaster, there were two quartermasters!
The first one embezzled some soldiers' food and salary, and was directly reported to Shen Tang by the soldiers! Shen Tang didn't say anything, and immediately cut it off after finding out! The second quartermaster had tampered with the purchase, but he didn't I don’t know, for all the items purchased, the Shaosheng and Sheng caravans will provide Shen Tang with a market price for comparison!
If there was a slight discrepancy, Shen Tang would not bother to verify it.
But if the difference was too obvious, how could Shen Tang ignore it?
The quartermaster only bought it three times, so Shen Tang immediately grabbed the evidence and killed it with the same knife!
It can be said that the current quartermaster took office standing on the bones of the previous two quartermasters! Under such circumstances, how could he dare to make mistakes in military supplies?
"Okay! Everyone, please retreat. Although there is no need to fight now, the armies must be cautious in rotating patrols, in case the two people in the north have any ideas to spy on our troops! If there is something wrong with that tribe, don't It’s my fault that I’m handsome and ruthless!”
"I will obey your orders!"
After all the generals saluted, they all exited the tent.
Shen Tang took a deep breath and stood up to stretch his body. Although there was no need to fight now, as the commander-in-chief of the army, he could not abandon his troops and go home alone to celebrate the New Year.
However, he also prepared New Year's gifts for the girls and sent them back, and he didn't know if the two amiable little children would call them father...
