I’m The King Chapter 698: : The young phoenix’s Qing Ming shook the world (1)
Although Gao Yuan wanted to rush back to Jishi City for the New Year, he was still dragged down by the plethora of government affairs in Hetao after the war. It even appeared on the outskirts of Ningyuan, which made some Donghu tribes stranded in Hetao have to retreat in a hurry. This battle has broken the courage of the Donghu people. The Donghu people's belief in invincibility in field battles was shattered. Even the five thousand palace guards led by Yan Qi hated Hetao in the end. A piece of fertile land. "
After the big victory, the middle and lower classes of Zhengdong Army were full of joy. To them, this was not only a victory against Donghu, but also a white money and a dark land. The rewards after the war have been distributed, of course not all of them, because now Gao Yuan is also clinking poor. In this battle, he won the land and the future, but he did not earn any silver. Not too much.
The nearly 30,000 Zhao army prisoners of war sent from Daijun greatly made up for the shortage of manpower in Hetao. time. These captured Zhao troops had traveled a long distance and were exhausted, but with such a large number, how to place them was also a problem. They didn't have the energy to make trouble now, but it didn't mean they would always be so obedient.
Xu Yuan and Yan Peng's request to recruit soldiers from these prisoners of war was flatly rejected by Gao Yuan. In his opinion, these Zhao soldiers did not take root in Hetao. What is dangerous is that they are different from the prisoners of war in Yuyang County. They are Yan people themselves, and they have the same roots as the Zhengdong Army. There is not much psychological repulsion, and these Zhao Jun and Yan Jun did not fight less, and Zhao Guo's national power is far superior to Yan Guo, so that these Zhao Jun always have a sense of superiority psychologically. If they get rid of their sense of superiority and prevent them from fundamentally realizing the gap between them and the Zhengdong Army, they will never be honest.
For the time being, they can only be allowed to farm, and at the same time, they need to strengthen the promotion of the policy of the Eastern Conscript Army in Hetao. The big stick and the carrot are smashed at the same time, and over time, a group of people will gradually assimilate over.
The more important strategy is that Gao Yuan wants to send most of these Zhao troops to the east of the Liaohe River to build mountains and build cities. Over there, everyone faces a common enemy, the Donghu people . Gao Yuan believes. Between the Zhengdong Army and the Donghu people, these prisoners of war will make a wise choice.
Chen Bin's injury is still not healed, and his head is wrapped with thick cloth strips, making it impossible for him to wear a helmet. There were freshly scabbed blood cuts all over his face, and one arm was still hanging on his arm, which made him look very embarrassed, but his face was not. At this time, he was full of joy, the brand new military uniform on his body showed that he had been promoted, now. He is the commander of the Third Division of the First Army of the Northern Field Army of the Zhengdong Army.
On the east bank of the Liaohe River, there was a battle, which made him stand out and Gao Yuan appreciated him greatly.
"Yesterday, the Overwatch Council just sent a report. Your family, as well as Luo Weiran's family, have already been taken to Jishi City. There, a new house has been arranged for them, although it is not very big. But it is enough for them to live in." Looking at the general in front of him, Gao Yuan said happily. "Everything that should be supplied will be delivered to them on time according to your level, and you can rest assured about everything at home."
"Thank you, Commander." Chen Bin was very grateful. As a general of the former Yan Kingdom, he became a prisoner. It is inevitable that his family members will suffer in the country. Of course, he has also heard about the conflict between the Eastern Army and the imperial court. The more he becomes a senior official in the Eastern Army and the more military exploits he has, the more he will be hated. This is also the common concern of him and Luo Weiran. .
Now that Gao Yuan has solved his future troubles, the last connection with Yan Guochaotang has also collapsed. At this time, he has completely lost Yan Guochaotang in his heart, and only the young governor in front of him . In the East Army, he finally found his own value. In less than two years, he went straight from a prisoner of war, a penniless person rescued by the Zhengdong Army, all the way to the current position of division commander. In the ranks of the army, the position of division commander does not exceed twenty people.
As Xu Yuan told him back then, as long as you make great achievements in battle, no one will dare to deny your achievements in the East Conquest Army.
"Those who originally followed you have died in battle, we will use the compensation for the death of the Zhengdong Army, and send the silver to them. If they are willing to come to my Zhengdong Mansion, we will also distribute it to them The land, houses, and those who are still alive, we will try our best to take over their families. Of course, this is a relatively large project, which cannot be completed in a short time, so you still need to tell you My subordinates, wait patiently, the Zhengdong Army will not treat any warrior who dares to fight for the Zhengdong Army badly."
"Thank you, Commander, based on this alone, the soldiers who came with their subordinates will serve the Commander wholeheartedly." Chen Bin said earnestly.
Gao Yuan waved his hand, "You're welcome, this is what you deserve. This time, if it weren't for your hard work in Dubiao, we would not be able to turn the tide of the battle so quickly, so you are the first to win this big victory." A minister of merit."
"I don't dare to be a subordinate. If there were no Master Luo's desperate battle out of the city, and Master He Lan's hundreds of miles of raids, the bones of my subordinates would be cold at this time." Chen Bin bowed.
"No need to be modest!" Gao Yuan laughed, "Because you have your perseverance and never give up, so they have a chance. Chen Bin, you and Luo Weiran are different from the generals under my command , you are more professional, you have received systematic military training, you are familiar with military books, and you have a much stronger grasp of the overall situation, and the future of the Eastern Army depends more on you."
"Commander Xu's talent is greatly admired by his subordinates." Chen Bin became a little uneasy.
Gao Yuan nodded in satisfaction. Not only are Chen Bin and Luo Weiran superior in talent, they are also cautious in their conduct. This is a good thing. At least they will not have any major conflicts with some generals in the Eastern Army .
"You are familiar with Hetao, and you have been operating on the east bank for a long time. This battle was fought hard. It was supposed to let you take a long vacation and let you go back to Jishi City to reunite with your family for a while, but you are also aware of the current situation in Hetao. , this place is absolutely inseparable from you. So this time you will have to work harder, and your division will go to the forefront again, and it is still an extremely short-staffed division with a total of only 2,000 people, but Do you have any difficulties in managing the five thousand Zhao Jun prisoners of war?" Gao Yuan asked.
Chen Bin shook his head, "No, Commander, although there are only two thousand soldiers, these two thousand people are all veterans who have fought fierce battles and experienced life and death. I am panicked, and that place is also close to Ningyuan in Donghu, so I am not afraid that they will make trouble, and more importantly, the governor's strategy can even bow down to the barbaric Huns, so it is not a problem to influence these captives."
"The policy is good, but it still needs people to do it!" Gao Yuan said: "So I called you to go, these Zhao Jun prisoners are all from our Central Plains Huaxia no matter what they say, how do you discipline them? You have to work hard. If you want to expand your team in a short time, you may have to come from among them, but you must remember that if you don't agree with our expedition to the Eastern Army, no matter how talented you are, we don't want it. "
"The subordinate understands."
"If you stand in Tengger, you will definitely become a thorn in the eyes of the Donghu people. They must want to get rid of it quickly. Other places may be calm, but where you are, there must be ups and downs and constant friction. What do you want? , just bring it up.”
Chen Bin thought for a moment, "There are only two requirements for my subordinates. One is that the grain and grass must be provided in the first half of next year to keep up. , subordinates want the best."
"No problem."
"Secondly, I hope that the governor can send some eloquent people who are well versed in the laws, clothing, rewards and punishments of the Eastern Army to the subordinate army."
Gao Yuan's eyes flickered~IndoMTL.com~ You want to preach these things among Zhao Jun's prisoners of war? "
"Yes!" Chen Bin bowed his body, "Although Zhao State is powerful, its domestic situation is not much different from that of Yan State. Not many, and you know, Commander, that in this world where conquests continue and human lives are worthless, if you let them understand the benefits of serving in the Eastern Army, it will be easier to transform them."
After saying this, seeing Gao Yuan remain silent, he felt a little nervous about not accepting it, "Of course, this is just my subordinate's opinion. If the governor thinks it's unnecessary, then I don't want it."
"No, it's necessary!" Gao Yuan waved his hand and said, "You reminded me that this matter must be handled as a major event. If it is done well, the effect may be even better than that of an army .”
Chen Bin's proposal reminded Gao Yuan of an army in his previous life. In this army, there were some departments for literature and art propaganda, which played a great role in preaching policies in a form that ordinary people liked. After decades of taking power in the country, these departments still existed and played a huge role. He couldn't help patting himself on the head. He actually wanted Chen Bin to remind him of such things. (to be continued..)()
