"Okay, when the time comes, every head will be counted. According to the standard military merit calculation, all the seizures will be yours." Zhang Ji gently patted Lin Dai's shoulder, and Lin Dai's eyes had already flashed with the sight of money.
"Just wait and see, tomorrow, no, I will go get them now!" Lin Dai said, patting his chest. This is a great thing. Calculating military merit means that there is a military merit system, which also means that There is a pension, who is afraid of whom in this fight?
"Don't be so anxious. Tell me roughly where you met these enemies." Zhang Ji quickly grabbed Lin Dai. He could see that the other party was not joking, but was really fighting bravely to kill the enemy. , what is hardcore, this is it.
"We were still attacking the southwest location of the Qiangtang Plateau before, just because when it's time to harvest the highland barley, we came back to harvest the highland barley first." Lindai quickly explained, this official is a good one, the money is paid well, and his words are honest. Not come to nothing.
Of course, Lindai didn't say anything depressing about beating the opponent to death and there was nothing to rob. Now there is an official guarantee. Whether to rob or not is just a side job. Do professional soldiers need to care about the little supplies they plunder? No need to care at all.
Professional soldiers all eat royal food. Now the standard professional soldiers of the Han Dynasty can earn 24 pieces of goods in a year, which is 24,000 yuan. Of course, this refers to the first-line elite legion, and the ordinary legion is far away. There is another section for this.
This is why serving as a soldier in the Han Dynasty is a good choice. Of course, this level is still half as bad as that of Rome next door.
But for the Qiang people, this is an astronomical figure. Twenty-four thousand yuan, for the Qiang people, that is twelve thousand goose seedlings. Speaking from conscience, Lin Dai feels that most of the young people in their tribe A strong human life is not worth the price.
So when Zhang Ji offered professional soldiers food and salary, Lin Dai felt his conscience and realized that he would have a future by following the Han Dynasty. There was no need to say, we will go wherever you tell us to go!
"I see." Zhang Ji nodded. He and Chen Zhen came over. Li You gave him the power to conquer and suppress people. Too late.
Therefore, after discussing with Liu Bei, Li You gave Zhang Ji a legion quota and the qualification to recruit local natives to assist, and then Zhang Ji naturally used it as bait.
"Don't worry, Chang Shi. Since the Han Dynasty has the order, I will clean up the young men of the tribe and go to destroy the bandits." Lindai's chest thumped loudly.
"Is there an interpreter here who understands Xiang Xiong's dialect? Let's see if we can work with Xiang Xiong to exterminate this group of bandits and bring Xiang Xiong under management." Zhang Ji tentatively said to Lindai.
In fact, this should not be said, because there are already Qingqiang, Faqiang, and Di people in Qinghai and Tibet who are border residents who support the Han Dynasty. If there are individual ethnic groups who also guard the border for the Han Dynasty, it is equivalent to invasion. Promote the interests of the Qiang people.
Therefore, even if he really wanted to do this, Zhang Ji shouldn't say it in front of the hairy man, but Zhang Ji is very smart and has good eyesight, especially after being tricked by Zhao Yu once, Zhang Ji just started to understand. He knew the same thing and knew more, so Zhang already had a lot of guesses in his mind when he heard that Lin Dai had sent troops twice.
Lindai's expression changed at that time. What he was most worried about was that his iron rice bowl was gone. He had lived a good life under the command of the Han Dynasty for the past five years, and there was meat in the pot. If he really wanted to go back to the previous Days later, I couldn't accept it first.
This is why after his own family was attacked, Lindai would rather cover his head and say nothing to Changan, or fight to the death with Fulward first.
After all, this concerns him, his son, his grandson, and the future jobs of everyone in their tribe, so they must suppress this matter without fear of dead spots.
This is why when Zhang Ji came, his neighbor showed Zhang Ji the ears cut off by his own tribe, and also showed Zhang Ji the armor captured by his family, just to let Zhang Ji, the inspector sent by Chang'an, take a look at their Qiang people. Human strength.
We Faqiang, Qingqiang, and Di tribes are confident and capable of protecting the Han Dynasty's borders. Moreover, we have recently defeated a group of foreign thieves who had ideas about the border. However, because the autumn grain is about to be harvested, we will retreat first. , after harvesting the autumn grain, we will continue to strangle the foreign thieves. Please rest assured, Han Dynasty, we will do an even better job.
With so much evidence, Lin Dai thought that even if this young inspector found out that their Qiang tribe was attacked by foreign thieves some time ago, he would not say anything. After all, tigers also have a time to nap. If they are beaten, they only need to be beaten. If you go back, that won't be a problem.
The reality was just as Lin Dai expected. Zhang Ji, the chief historian of Dahonglu and the new inspector of Qinghai-Tibet Sichuan, was indeed very satisfied and first gave a large amount of condolences.
Although these supplies need to be obtained by oneself, it does not matter. This is the reason why the traitor Sima Lang did not build the road. The rewards from the Han Dynasty are true every time. This is enough. This shows that the Han Dynasty Very satisfied with their group of border guard brothers.
Then they even paid 30 million official condolences, which was even more impressive. This showed that the Han Dynasty was not only satisfied, but also remembered these brothers deeply.
But what happened next? Why did the inspector come up and ask if he could contact Zhang Xing? We are in Qinghai and Tibet. What is the point of contacting Zhang Xing? I’m not bragging. As long as we can find Zhang Xing’s tribe, we will I can give him peace.
When I think about the fact that this is at stake for their iron rice bowl, and when I think about the possibility that Xiangxiong will also defect to the Han Dynasty, the Qingqiang, Faqiang, and Di people will lose their only advantage of living on the plateau, and future subsidies will be lost. It would be greatly reduced, so Lin Dai felt that he needed to find a way to let Xiang Xiong ascend to heaven.
"Captain, if you have anything to say, just say it. There are no outsiders here." As soon as Zhang Ji saw his neighbor's expression change, he basically understood all the inner activities, plus what might happen.
"Zhang Changshi, why don't we go to Xiangxiong? There is collusion with the foreign thieves in Shule and Khotan, and I suspect that they are also colluding with the foreign thieves who came just before." Lindai has never been like this. He had analyzed it smoothly, but at this moment, his brain was spinning at an astonishing speed of two thousand revolutions under the pressure of the iron rice bowl.
With logical inferences and reasonable explanations, it describes in detail the possible relationship between Shule and Yutian, and the Zhangzhong Dynasty, and lists what happened when the second group of foreign thieves attacked them according to the time when their own family was attacked. There were many possibilities, and finally it was deduced that Xiang Xiong must have contact with foreign thieves, and this group of people had plans for the Han Dynasty!
At this moment, even Zhang Ji had to admire Lin Dai's brain. Lin Dai also wiped a cold sweat secretly. This was the best day for his brain in his life. In the past, his brain had never turned around so fast. However, after saying that, Lindai looked at Zhang Ji nervously.
Zhang Ji nodded. After actually knowing this situation, Zhang Ji basically understood that there was no need for Zhang Xiong to go. The only option left was to defeat Xiang Xiong. The Qiang people had already taken action to defeat several Zhang Xiong tribes. And what Lindai said was correct. When they were hunting Xiangxiong, Fuwode could accurately attack the Qiang tribe. In fact, it was enough to explain many problems.
At this time, either Xiangxiong had already gotten involved with Fulward, or Xiangxiong had been taken over by Fulward. No matter which one, it would be meaningless for the Han Dynasty to go there. Instead, they would be waiting for the noble leader of Xiangxiong. It is more reliable to come to the Han Dynasty for help.
After all, compared to running over to help yourself, instead of waiting for the other party to cry and beg you, at least the latter will have greater initiative. Under the classical military system, although the empire's external expansion does not require morality, because strength is the greatest However, it would be great if the legal principles, principles, and strength could all be taken into account.
"Carefully investigate the location of the Shang Shung Dynasty, and take over all those who surrender and seek help. Anyone who crosses the border illegally will be killed without mercy." Zhang Ji said with a smile to his neighbor.
"Illegal crossing of the border?" Lin Dai looked at Zhang Ji in confusion and said.
"Isn't this our Han land? Doesn't the place you are standing on belong to the Han family? Doesn't the land we see belong to the Han family?" Zhang Ji said gently, and Li Dai was surprised at first. Then I felt quite excited, this explanation is good, this explanation is wonderful, this is the support they want.
"You go ahead and take action. If something happens, I will take care of it." Zhang Ji said seriously.
What does it mean to be a boss? This is what a boss is. Let your hands and feet go and don't be afraid of anything happening. I'm sure you will. Immediately, I became a lot more confident. They can't do anything else, but they know how to fight.
"I'm going to prepare a banquet. I'll have a good meal today. Tomorrow I will lead the young men to hunt for foreign thieves." Lin Dai said, patting his chest. In an instant, he no longer had the slightest worry about Zhang Ji. This man is reliable.
Zhang Ji nodded. When he came, Li You hinted that he had settled the Qinghai-Tibet area. Zhang Ji could first serve as governor in that area. A state with two million square kilometers would not be considered an insult. Zhang Ji thought Thinking about it, yes, if you are poor, you will be poorer, but you will be promoted quickly.
Speaking of which, Zhang Ji was really unlucky. He had experienced ups and downs several times since the beginning of the imperial examination. Although he was not pulled down by Wen Hui and others in the same batch, his ups and downs were really a bit depressed. He caught Li You with a hint. , it would be fine to be the governor here.
After Lindai came out and told all the leaders the good news, the Qiang people became excited.
However, Lindai wanted to be greedy with the 30 million official tickets, but Lindai didn't have such a thing at all. To be precise, the entire Qiang tribe didn't have it. If it had, it would have been expropriated long ago to buy breeding cattle. , breeding sheep, and goose seedlings have gone, how can there be any left?
