Slogans such as "Wei Guangzheng" seem pretentious when spoken in a serious tone.
But Li Qinzai really thought so. .
A person from the 21st century came to this strange world and started out as a son of a powerful person. He had bright clothes and angry horses and no worries about food and clothing. It can be said that he has fully enjoyed the dividends brought to him by this peaceful world.
This is not only the efforts of three generations, but also the peaceful world created by the monarchs, ministers and people of the entire country.
Slogans such as loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are too false. In a very realistic sentence, you have to pay something when you get the bonus. How can there be any reason in the world to eat for free without paying?
After leaving Taiji Palace, Li Qinzai returned to the Duke's Mansion. After meeting with Li Ji, Li Ji ordered Buqu to bring him a brand new set of armor.
Li Qinzai had no choice but to put it on and try it on.
The armor was very heavy, weighing about forty pounds. It felt like carrying an iron chimney on my back, making me feel uncomfortable even when I was wearing it.
"Grandpa, my grandson is a marching commander and a civil servant in the army. There is no need to wear armor, right?" Li Qinzai said sadly.
Li Ji snorted: "The enemy's cold arrows are coming. Do you think the arrows can tell who is a civil servant and who is a military general?"
Li Qinzai sighed. He understood the truth, but you are so playful at your age. Who did you learn from?
Li Ji stroked his beard and said calmly: "In this eastern expedition to the Baekje Japanese Kingdom, our Tang Dynasty King's Division marched together, both land and water divisions. The general manager of the land march is Liu Rengui. This man is good at planning, but he is too upright, speaks unpleasantly, and is not easy to get along with."
"The commander-in-chief of the waterway march is Sun Renshi. He leads more than 8,000 troops and more than 170 warships. He is rushing from Shandong to assist the Baekje River Estuary. The water and land divisions will meet at the Baekje port. The two armies will unite to attack the remaining parts of Baekje. and Japan."
"You will be under the command of Master Sun Ren during this expedition. Your duties are to record the food, grass, ordnance and equipment, and supervise logistics. Of course, if you have a clever strategy for fighting the enemy, you can present it to Master Sun Ren in person. This is a national war, and you cannot hide your secrets."
Li Qinzai nodded and took note.
Li Ji paused, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Also, don't have any contact with Liu Rengui."
Li Qinzai was stunned and asked tentatively: "Grandpa and Liu Rengui have any grudges?"
Li Ji's face suddenly turned ugly, and he snorted and said: "During the Zhenguan period, I followed the late emperor to conquer Goguryeo. Later, when the king's army failed to capture him, the late emperor led the main force to retreat. I and Li Daozong led 40,000 The infantry and cavalry troops marched to the rear. On the way to the rear, the officers and soldiers inevitably violated some military discipline..."
Li Qinzai asked curiously: "What military discipline was violated?"
Li Ji coughed uncomfortably and said: "I just robbed some property in Goguryeo, slaughtered a few small towns, women and so on, and ruined a few..."
Li Qinzai was silent for a long time, and then agreed: "Sure enough, it was just a violation of military discipline..."
Li Ji glanced at him unkindly, and then said: "After returning to the Tang Dynasty, Liu Rengui heard the news from nowhere, so he went to Shushen to accuse me of setting up an army for disaster and failing to manage the army. He asked The late Emperor punished me severely."
"The late emperor had a broad mind, and he didn't care about the things my soldiers committed in enemy countries, so he left Liu Rengui's impeachment memorial unpublished..."
"Who would have thought that that scoundrel saw that the late emperor had no expression, so he impeached me one after another. He stayed for a whole month, a month! Every day, a copy of the impeachment was handed over to the late emperor's case, and he even cited Li Jing and Hou Junji as examples. Please The late Emperor decided my crime based on the punishment of the two of them."
Li Qinzai was slightly startled.
Li Jing and Hou Junji, the former conquered the Turks in the north, and after making great military achievements, he was imprisoned and plundered by the ginseng soldiers. Of course, this was only a superficial reason. The real reason was that Li Jing was truly superior to the master.
After Hou Junji attacked and destroyed the Gaochang Kingdom, he also launched an army to plunder and plunder all the royal treasury of the Gaochang Kingdom, and was severely punished by the late emperor. The punishment made him despair, and finally rebelled against Li Chengqian.
If the late emperor really wanted to punish Li Ji based on the two men's faults, it is not certain whether the British Dukeship can be preserved.
Gritting his teeth secretly, Li Qinzai completely agreed with his grandfather's words. Liu Rengui was indeed an evil beast.
Yes, it is so unprincipled.
The Tang Dynasty used troops abroad, and those famous generals slaughtered cities and looted them at every turn. This was nothing new. Including Li Jing and Li Ji, they often turned a blind eye to the actions of their soldiers.
The two armies were fighting, and their swords had no eyes. Who hasn’t done something crazy in the enemy’s territory? Very normal operation. To put it nicely, this is to boost the morale of the army and is very beneficial to the army's combat effectiveness, so the leading generals often don't mind too much.
Liu Rengui was determined to punish Li Ji. This kind of person was either bad or upright.
After Li Ji finished speaking, he showed a look of resentment. Obviously, after so many years, Li Ji is still angry. It can be seen that Liu Rengui's participation in the impeachment made him worse than death.
"Grandpa, don't worry. If my grandson meets Liu Rengui, he will help grandpa avenge his past. My grandson will give him the perspiration medicine..."
Before he finished speaking, he was kicked hard by Li Ji.
"You bastard! When the two armies are fighting, it's a matter of life and death. Are you allowed to mess around? When you meet Liu Rengui, don't interact with him privately. Don't try to kill the general, otherwise I will not let you go!" Li Ji shouted sternly.
Look at these three views, how upright they are, worthy of the achievements of famous generals in the three dynasties.
"Grandpa, grandson realizes his mistake. Grandson corrects his statement. After Master Wang wins and the overall situation is settled, grandson will give him the sweat medicine again..."
Li Ji didn't lose his temper. Instead, he stroked his beard slowly, closed his eyes and said nothing, as if he had dozed off.
Seeing Li Ji's reaction, Li Qinzai was shocked.
Is this...tacit consent?
Li Qinzai clicked his tongue. It seemed that Liu Rengui really disgusted Li Ji. Otherwise, Li Ji would not have acquiesced in allowing him to do such dirty things.
So Li Qinzai silently began to calculate.
For this expedition, in addition to gunpowder, we also need to prepare more Mongolian sweat medicine.
Anyway, they are all medicines, all for the purpose of curing diseases and saving lives.
…………
The second year of Longshuo in the Tang Dynasty.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Shangyuan Festival, the war drums of the camp in the northern suburbs of Chang'an were rumbling. Ten thousand soldiers were in good order. After some mobilization by the generals, they all mounted their horses and headed for Dengzhou.
They would board a boat from Dengzhou and go to sea, cross the Bohai Sea, and arrive at the mouth of the Baijiang River in Baekje.
The expedition ceremony was very low-key. This time it was a hasty recruitment and dispatch of troops. The commander-in-chief of the army, Sun Renshi, was still commanding the navy on the battleship in the Bohai Sea. After the land commander Liu Rengui was raided by the Japanese, he led his troops to withdraw to the territory of Silla.
Therefore, the team starting from Chang'an actually has no coach. To be precise, they are a support force.
Li Qinzai was covered in armor, and the heavy armor made it difficult for him to walk.
After the army departed, he stayed at the rear of the team and set off with the baggage army escorting the food, grass and weapons.
This is the responsibility of the marching commander Shi. In this army escorting the baggage, Li Qinzai not only has the highest official position, but is also the only one with a title.
Facing the rising sun in the morning, Li Qinzai put on his armor and embarked on the journey with the concerns of his relatives and lovers.
