"Yes, so you must not live up to King Qin's expectations of you! This battle against Goguryeo is the first large-scale external war after the reform of the Tang army! It is also the first external war under the auspices of your Highness, King Qin. War, this is related to your Highness the King of Qin’s expectations of you."
"So this war can only be won but not defeated! If you have any needs, please put them forward before the war. I will try my best to convey your opinions and then try to meet all your needs. Once the war begins, then Datang It all depends on you." Li Chengqian said seriously.
"Your Highness, please rest assured, we must kill the Koreans! We soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have never been afraid of anyone!" A captain said in a vulgar voice.
"Hahaha, of course I believe you, and your Highness the King of Qin also believes in you! In fact, before I came here, your Highness the King of Qin told me that he believed you could completely crush Goguryeo with overwhelming force!"
"But he also asked you to remember that our current Tang army is an army of the people and an army that serves the people, not barbarians. Therefore, we must fight bravely, but we must also abide by military discipline. During the battle, We can't violate military discipline! Don't forget our origins." Li Chengqian laughed heartily.
A group of captains also laughed, and then they all said with serious faces: "Your Highness, many of us came from the Fubing era. We all know the shortcomings of the Fubing era, but at that time, In fact, you can’t blame us.”
"The main thing is that we didn't understand these principles at that time. We just knew how to follow the general to fight."
"And now we understand why we fight, why we destroy these enemies, and why we fight. At that time, although there were times after breaking the city, there were also times when we robbed wealth, but at that time it was mainly because the brothers were too difficult The family is waiting for the rice to be cooked, and after we go out to fight, the family will no longer have its main labor force."
"Not to mention, we all have to grab a share for some of our comrades who died in the battle. The political commissar told us that at that time, we in the Tang Dynasty were poor and had no choice but to rob the enemy."
"Now that Datang has money, all of us have security, so of course we can't do such a thing."
Li Chengqian smiled and nodded: "It's good if you can understand this truth. In this case, your efforts as King Qin will not be in vain."
"When I left Chang'an and headed here, Li Ke also told me, he said that you all lived too hard before, and you could hardly survive in your own home, and you had to bring food and weapons with you. Bows and arrows are waiting to come out to fight."
"It's okay if you win, but if you lose and die in battle, you won't even get a handful of ashes at home."
"Too many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty died fighting in foreign lands, but at that time when the Tang Dynasty was first established, there was no way. No matter how difficult the days were, he could only persevere in this way, so he was determined to learn to make money when he was a child, to make the Tang Dynasty rich, and to make the Tang Dynasty rich. You soldiers cannot bleed and shed tears for the Tang Dynasty."
"We can't let you almost risk your life and become disabled for the Tang Dynasty, and finally return to your hometown by luck but still can't even support your family."
"This is why he has been desperately trying to find ways to make the Tang Dynasty rich and reform the military system of the Tang Dynasty over the years so that each of your soldiers can be protected."
"It's not just monthly money. If you are injured, the Tang Dynasty court will give you a disability allowance and provide you with a job. If you unfortunately die for the country, your family will also receive a generous enough sum." pension.”
"He said this is what he can do for you, the heroes of the Tang Dynasty."
"For this reason, he has fought countless times with various powerful families in the Tang Dynasty in court and in private, and he has discussed it with my father countless times."
"So, you must not forget his efforts. If you violate the military discipline of the Tang Dynasty, you will even be sorry for Li Ke if you don't tell whether you can be worthy of others."
Li Chengqian said seriously.
"Because you violated military discipline, you may be punished in the end, but it is he who will be sad in the end when you are punished."
The captains listened attentively. After listening, they all sat upright with serious expressions on their faces: "Your Highness, please rest assured that we will not embarrass His Highness the King of Qin or the Tang Dynasty under any circumstances."
"That's good, that's good! Okay, I've finished eating, and everyone should continue eating. After all, when the war starts, it will not be easy for you to eat these good meals." Li Chengqian said with a smile.
After speaking, Li Chengqian stood up. Seeing everyone wanting to stand up, he waved his hands directly and said: "Sit down, everyone, sit down. I have already said it. It is time to rest and eat. There is no need for so many etiquettes. Okay, I go first."
After speaking, Li Chengqian left decisively.
After watching Li Chengqian leave, these captains also whispered: "Your Highness is quite good."
"Absolutely. Otherwise, can His Highness come here to eat every day? I have heard that after His Highness came here, he never ate alone. He always ate with the soldiers."
"It's all due to the influence of His Highness King Qin. I heard that several princes in the palace were trained in the army and lived and ate with most of the soldiers."
"Absolutely. They voluntarily gave up their titles and only retained the status of a prince. If they did not contribute to the Tang Dynasty, they asked not to be ennobled. This is something that the entire Tang Dynasty knows."
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin has changed our Tang Dynasty too much. Without His Highness the King of Qin, I think I would have died long ago."
Everyone sighed with emotion.
Li Chengqian washed the dishes in his hands like an ordinary soldier, and then walked to his residence.
The lower you are at the bottom, the more you can feel Saburo's influence on Datang, which has already penetrated into all aspects.
The further he got to the bottom, the more Li Chengqian felt that what Sanlang said was correct. Only when the people at the bottom lived well could Datang become stronger.
And as long as they support the royal family and Sanlang, no matter whether Sanlang or the Tang Dynasty court wants to implement a certain strategy, they will not be constrained by the family members like their father in previous years.
Now Saburo doesn't have to care about the opinions and decisions of those powerful families. Although they have countless ministers in the court, these ministers have one and only one choice, and that is to make profits for the country.
