Merit is the most important thing in the military, and they are usually willing to give in. But once merit is involved, no one is willing to give in. Liu Renyuan's move was really beyond Fang Jun's expectation.
Fang Jun couldn't help but wonder: "Why does Xue Rengui need this credit more? Don't you need it?"
Liu Renyuan comes from a wealthy Diaoyin family and a martial arts family, so naturally he should value martial arts more...
Unexpectedly, Liu Renyuan laughed loudly and said: "The Marquis doesn't know something. Xue Rengui was originally trapped in the countryside. Fortunately, he had a good wife at home who always encouraged him to join the army and make contributions. Xue Rengui then shamelessly found his father's old friend Xun Guogong. Zhang Shigui asked for a letter of recommendation and came to the navy to join the army. Now his wife still stays in the countryside of Hejin, guarding the cold kiln alone, struggling to survive. According to military rules, ordinary soldiers are not allowed to bring their families with them, only those with the rank of captain or above can do so. Bring the family members. Xue Rengui is twenty-six years old this year, but he has no children. As the saying goes, a gentleman has the beauty of adulthood, not to mention the glory of life and death? Even if the general manager reports Xue Rengui's first contribution to the Ministry of War and rewards him according to his merits, he can be rewarded as soon as possible. Promotion, husband and wife reunited! As for the general, with such strength and courage, will he still worry about not having meritorious service in the future under the general manager?"
When Fang Jun heard this, he immediately thought of Mrs. Liu who worked hard at the cold kiln with Xue Rengui but persuaded her husband to make progress. He immediately slapped the table and said, "That's it, go and inform Xue Rengui and send someone back home immediately to pick up his wife. "
Soldiers have to fight, fight with heaven, fight with the enemy, and fight with their comrades!
This is integrity!
But Fang Jun was even more pleased to see the friendship and courtesy between Pao Ze, sincere unity and mutual friendship, which are the necessary factors for an invincible army.
Pei Xingjian hurriedly said: "General Manager, this is not good... I don't know what promotion the Ministry of War has for Xue Rengui, so I brought his wife here in advance. I'm afraid it violates military discipline and will be difficult for everyone to do."
It is really difficult for the Ministry of War to predict how Xue Rengui's first meritorious service will be promoted. If he is not promoted to a captain, but his wife is brought here first, it is really difficult to handle. Will he be sent back then?
Unexpectedly, Fang Jun glared and said: "Are you looking down on me or something? I asked Xue Rengui for the position of captain in the battle report. I dare not give it to him from the Ministry of War. Believe it or not, I will return to Chang'an tomorrow. Damn it. His military office?"
The generals were sweating...
Only then did they remember that they had actually forgotten that the man in front of them was not only a marquis or chief steward, but also the most handsome man in Guanzhong! As for the last sentence, just listen to it. The current Minister of War is Li Ji. No matter how clumsy Fang Jun is, he would not dare to be cunning with the first person in the army except Li Jing. However, Li Ji had always been on good terms with Fang Xuanling, and his two sons had an irresistible friendship with Fang Jun. How could Li Ji refute Fang Jun's reputation when asking for a mere school captain?
This matter is already a certainty. Even if Xue Rengui's achievements are not enough to be promoted to captain, the captain will not be able to escape.
All the generals greatly appreciated Xue Rengui's bravery, so they were all happy for him. Who wouldn't want his comrades around him to be brave, fierce and good at fighting? At the same time, they all found that having a coach like Fang Jun is indeed a great thing. If the relationship is good with him, he can settle the matter with a letter. If the relationship is not good, he dares to knock on the door. As long as he has meritorious service, there is no need to worry about whether he will Will be deliberately suppressed or even take credit for those dirty things...
Especially Su Dingfang felt this even more deeply!
He followed Li Jing very early and fought against the Turks in the western region of Mobei. He defeated the Turks and defeated the Turks. He even rushed hundreds of miles to break into the Turks' tents. Was he a big credit? In terms of merit, Su Dingfang was at last a Zhonglang General of the Twelve Guards, or even a general!
But it was precisely because of His Majesty's scruples about Li Jing that even though Li Jing had unparalleled military strategy and was victorious in every battle, his popularity in the military was not good, and he often encountered inexplicable suppression. Li Jing himself was indifferent to this, but some of his generals found it difficult to accept it. Why are you fighting for life and death? Isn't it just a matter of rewarding one's wife and concubine based on one's merits? As a result, their lives were thrown away, their merits were established, but nothing happened to them when it came time to award rewards.
If I could follow a coach like Fang Jun earlier...
Thinking of this, Su Dingfang burst into laughter.
Fang Jun was talented but didn't know anything about the military. How could he learn Duke Wei's exquisite tactics and tactics from following him? People always have insatiable desires. Looking at the height of this mountain, they never feel satisfied or grateful.
If you think about it from another angle, wouldn't it be great luck to be able to follow a peerless military god like Wei Gong when he was learning, and when he got older and needed meritorious service, he met a coach with a rich family background and a protective mind like Fang Jun?
After everything was agreed upon, Pei Xingjian drafted a battle report. Fang Jun copied it, stamped it with his seal, and waited to return to Huating Town and send it to the capital. Since the arrival of Pei Xingjian, Fang Jun has felt more and more relaxed. Yunwen Yunwu, a descendant of the Pei family in Hedong, can handle the daily complicated and trivial matters or the military's logistical supplies in an orderly manner without any hassle. The rotten and dandy attitude of the children of the aristocratic family.
Fang Jun's consistent philosophy is that those who are capable work more, those who are inferior work hard, those who are average work hard, and those who are superior do not need to do anything and everything is ready...
*****
At this time, on the other side of the sea, along the coast of Wuyuan Town, there was a large-scale Wubao. It was located on the hilly plateau on the south side of a river that flowed into the sea. It was built according to the mountains, with undulating heights and impressive momentum.
The person who built this fort must be a clever person. Not only did it fully utilize its geographical advantages and make full use of the convenience of water and land transportation, it also had military advantages, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. If a war breaks out in the surrounding areas, this place can be used as a stronghold to resist attacks by large numbers of troops.
The fort wall is three feet high, and the base of the fort wall is built with strips of stone. Trees are planted throughout the fort, and there are rows of private houses with wooden eaves and tile roofs and earthen walls. Judging from its scale, there are thousands of families living in it.
This is the Wubao built by the previous generation of the Gu family at the end of the Sui Dynasty. At that time, the society was in turmoil, and various rebels and rebels were rising one after another. All major families had similar places to avoid disasters, but the Gu family's Wubao was too huge... …
This kind of Wubao was originally a stronghold for the people in the north to avoid war and thieves. It was rare in the densely populated and prosperous Jiangdong Wu area. If someone made a rebellion and forced the soldiers and civilians to gather in it, several times the number of troops would never be able to capture it. However, it is now a time of peace, and Jiangdong is under the control of the gentry. Officials who are all in the same camp also turn a blind eye to the Gu family. As long as they don't cause big troubles, they naturally don't bother to pay attention.
At this moment, in the lobby of Wubao, Gu Cong looked at the increasingly gloomy sky outside the window with a somewhat gloomy expression.
Below him, a burly young man said casually: "Second uncle, are you a little unfounded? Although Fang Jun attacked the island, that is what the question should have meant. He is a navy, so the navy is natural To exterminate pirates, what does my family have to do with it? This is not the time of the Han Dynasty. The court cannot ban salt and iron. The parents and grandsons of his house can mine and smelt iron. Why can't our Gu family cook and sell salt? "
This man was in his mid-twenties, with a fair face, tall stature, and dignified appearance. However, he spoke very casually. Even though he called Gu Cong "Second Uncle", there was no respect in his words.
Gu Cong glared at him and said displeasedly: "Don't say those stupid things to deceive ghosts. If my Gu family only sells salt, I will naturally not be afraid of that Fang Jun. But my family has many contacts with pirates and has joined forces with them to rob many times." He has plundered the people of coastal counties and counties, and has been a long-term partner of pirates in selling stolen goods. Once Fang Jun finds out, do you dare to say that he will not take action against the Gu family? Everyone in Guanzhong knows about that guy's reputation for being generous!"
This nephew is good at everything, but he is too arrogant and will not be looked down upon by anyone.
That Fang Jun dared to arrange a group of nobles in Niuzhuji, leading all the dead soldiers of each family to slaughter them all. Obviously, he did not take the threat of the Jiangnan nobles in his eyes, not to mention the Gu family, even the Xiao family If he blocked Fang Jun's way, that boy would dare to kill him!
Fang Jun is now the emperor's minion extending to the south of the Yangtze River. No matter what he does, as long as it is beneficial to the empire and the emperor, the emperor will definitely not interfere and will even condone it to the maximum extent!
If necessary, he would not have even the slightest scruple or compassion for the Gu family!
