Chapter 3169 Like-minded
Yuchi Baohuan looked embarrassed, his cheek muscles twitched a few times, and he murmured for a long time, not knowing what to say, and his face turned red with anxiety.
I'm just being polite. Who the hell can treat a Marquis like he's nothing? The Yuchi family was a distinguished family, but he was just a concubine. Not only was it not his turn to inherit the family title, but he also received little share of the family property. Now that he has worked hard to get a chance to be promoted to Marquis, it means that it is possible to branch out from his family and establish a family. This is not only the ultimate honor, but also gives him a bright future.
He stared, not knowing what to say.
Could it be that the second roommate was just trying to trick him into trying his best, and then trying to break his promise and get rich?
Mother!
You dare to play tricks on me, believe it or not, I dare to fight you?
Pei Xingjian and Cheng Wuting laughed and said nothing.
Fang Jun looked at Yuchi Baohuan's expression and couldn't help but said: "You Yuchi family members are indeed brave and good at fighting, but everyone is just stupid, which is really boring. It's just a joke, don't you take it seriously? Are you kidding me?”
Yuchi Baohuan: "..."
Mother!
Which of your words is true and which is a joke? The second roommate is indeed extremely capable and prestigious, but his bastard temperament is really driving people crazy...
Pei Xingjian laughed at the side and said: "General Yuchi, please don't be angry. If you offend the commander, the Marquis may have no hope at all. I am writing the battle report to describe the merits. The general's merits will not be discounted in the slightest, and the final review of the merits will be successful." If you submit it to the Ministry of War, there is no possibility of rejection..."
This was said very naturally, but the arrogance in it could not be concealed. He just said, "The Ministry of War is our base, we can adjust it as we want, no problem at all"...
Yuchi Baohuan nodded, thinking that all strange people would like to follow Fang Jun. This guy is not only outstanding in ability and a noble family member, but also powerful in the government and the public. As long as you follow him, if you have any real achievements, you will not be afraid of being blocked by the enemy or even taking the credit.
As long as you pay, you will be rewarded, which makes people very motivated...
Pei Xingjian added: "However, being promoted to the title of Marquis is really a difficult matter. The Ministry of War has no right to approve it. The commander-in-chief can only go to His Majesty and the Crown Prince in person to argue for it. This is not an easy task. After all, with the general's military exploits, I think It's still a bit vain to be promoted to the title of Marquis... ...So, if the general has any good wine, meat, gold and silver, he will send some to the marshal's home. He has a short mouth when eating people and a short hand when taking people. It's hard to say that the marshal is really sorry, so he begged your majesty at the expense of his dignity. It can be done.”
This sentence is a joke, Yuchi Baohuan understands it, even if Fang Jun wants to "ask for a bribe", it is not so blatant...
His face straightened, he took a step back, knelt down on one knee, performed military salutes, and said loudly: "The general is a bastard in the family. He has a humble official position and has no wealth. He has no good wine, good meat, or gold and silver. Only With this body of more than a hundred kilograms of flesh and blood, if the commander does not dislike it, he will be willing to surrender to it. From then on, if the commander refuses, he will have no descendants and will be destroyed by heaven and earth."
He carries the reputation of being a "child of the Yuchi family", but in fact he does not receive many resources from the family, otherwise he would not be just a border guard general with only a few thousand troops.
Although he has a more upright temperament, he is not a fool, and he naturally understands the importance of "hugging the thighs" in the officialdom. Although the Yuchi family has deep entanglements with the Guanlong nobles, they have always had a good relationship with Fang Jun, and their two elder brothers have a close friendship with Fang Jun.
The most important thing is that Fang Jun's reputation for treating his own people with kindness and magnanimity has long been spread. If he gets the opportunity today, if he can serve under Fang Jun, he will definitely get a lot of help in the future.
Look at those people who followed Fang Jun, Su Dingfang, Liu Rengui, Liu Renyuan, Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian... Which one of them is not now making great achievements, rising in official position, holding great power, and guarding one side?
It's worth risking your life to earn a future with such a kind person.
At least you don’t have to worry about him stabbing you in the back while you’re working hard in front...
Fang Jun laughed, lifted Yuchi Baohuan up again, patted him on the shoulder, nodded and said: "We are all ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and we share the same goals. We should be loyal to your majesty and the prince, and die without regrets and devote ourselves to our lives! Listen to this I am very pleased that General Yuchi has a great drinking capacity. After this battle, we will sit down and have a few drinks together.”
Yuchi Baohuan immediately grimaced and begged for mercy: "I am a good drinker, how dare I compare with you, Duke of Yue? You'd better spare us."
If we talk about the competition for supremacy in the school field, there may be some people who are not convinced by Fang Jun and think they can challenge him. But when it comes to drinking competition, who in Guanzhong dares to shout in front of Fang Jun?
This guy drinks like an ocean and won’t get drunk after a thousand cups...
After saying a few words, Fang Jun asked Yuchi Baohuan to go ahead and treat the wounds on his body and bandage them. After Yuchi Baohuan left happily, Fang Jun asked Pei Xingjian to draft a draft and write a battle report. Cheng Wuting was responsible for gathering the troops, counting the wounded, and treating the injured one by one. The dead were recorded in a register in time to report their merits to the Ministry of War for the purpose of issuing pensions and awards.
As long as the army where Fang Jun serves as the commander-in-chief has always provided generous pensions, heavy rewards, and great care to the fallen soldiers, they will even personally send the ashes of the fallen soldiers back to their hometowns to increase their mourning and honor after death.
And this is one of the reasons why Fang Jun's troops often work together and fight to the death.
In the wars of this era, the death rate was very high. The moment the soldiers stepped onto the battlefield, they were resigned to their fate and prepared to die at any time. However, even though they are all dead, if the merits of desperately killing the enemy will not be corrupted by the superiors, and the honor after death can be benefited by the family, who would not be willing to sacrifice his life for Fang Jun?
Pei Xingjian immediately wrote a battle report and sent one to Chang'an and one to the Anxi Army. By the way, all the generals who had made meritorious deeds were recorded in the files and submitted to the Ministry of War as evidence of their merits.
Fang Jun pushed them away and stood at the door with his hands behind his hands, looking at the entire fortress filled with pungent gunpowder smoke. Countless corpses of soldiers from both sides were stacked up in piles. Soldiers from the Youtun Guard were being recruited from Hexi counties. The civilian husband who came After cleaning up the corpses, the remains of the Tang army were picked out and placed neatly aside one by one, waiting to be cremated one by one later. The corpses of the Tuyuhun soldiers were randomly discarded aside, and then a deep pit was dug and buried together.
Although the faces of the soldiers and civilians were filled with the joy of victory, Fang Jun was not very excited about turning the tide.
In this era, the Tuyuhun people were completely "barbarians". They were savages and bandits who were not engaged in production and had a habit of killing. You cannot eat its flesh alive, and you are thirsty to drink its blood...
However, for Fang Jun, no matter the Tuyuhun people, Mongolians, Jurchens, or Tibetans, they were all one family in the era when he lived. "Fifty-six ethnic groups are one family." We are so close to each other, who still remembers the hatred?
He can regard these Hu people as enemies, but it is difficult to regard them as enemies.
But for the cannibals, Goguryeo people and even the Japanese, it is a completely different concept. Born under the red flag and raised in New China, who has even the slightest sense of identity with their own nation, how can they forget the sufferings that their ancestors have suffered?
Therefore, the navy under his control implemented tyranny in these countries, supporting one faction, attacking another faction, and annihilating another faction, and never cared about the lives and deaths of these people.
Flowers cannot bloom for a hundred days, people cannot be good for a hundred days, and a country cannot prosper forever.
The smoke of gunfire fills the air before our eyes, just like the fog of history, making it difficult to see the future.
History has already been changed beyond recognition because of the sudden arrival of a man who should not belong to this era, and is rushing forward in an unknown direction.
He didn't know where his existence would take this old empire, and he didn't know whether everything he did was right or wrong.
However these are not important.
As long as he can bury the seeds of industry and natural science deeply in this soil, even if he dies tomorrow, he can still imagine that they will eventually take root, sprout, and bloom brilliant flowers, making this ancient civilization It becomes more and more colorful, and no longer has to endure the brutal methods of being enslaved and bullied by those barbarians who drink hair and blood.
He corrected some mistakes of this era, which is what he should do.
As for whether he committed some mistakes that have not been made in history at the same time, only God knows. All he can do is to have a clear conscience... (End of Chapter)
