late at night!

The sounds of isolated fighting are still going on. Don't overestimate the quality of ancient soldiers.

If you ask ancient soldiers to meet the requirements of modern soldiers, they may not be awake yet. How are modern soldiers treated, and what were ancient soldiers treated like?

In many cases, ancient soldiers were basically unpaid, and farmers changed jobs to become soldiers just to avoid starvation! Moreover, it is just not hungry, not completely full.

I really think that the standard of a well-off society is so easy to achieve, but some people still think that I just need to be good at it and be good at whatever I do. In ancient times, it was a lifetime dream for many people to have a stutter, let alone fill their stomachs, let alone meet the so-called well-off standards.

The productivity is there, no matter which outstanding person can defy the laws of social production and development.

Among all the princes, the Jin army was one of the few princes who had food and salary, that is, one of the princes who had money to serve as a soldier.

However, each person only got a pitiful amount, which was far different from the treatment of modern soldiers. However, even with such a pitiful amount of salary per person, it cannot support the large base!

Such a large military base would add up to a huge expenditure. Therefore, do not think that the Jin army will have an easier time.

The real welfare of the Jin army is actually the farmland allocated to soldiers, especially those who died in battle. Hezhou and Liangzhou have a lot of land, and every time there is a war, they always have to find some reason to get rid of a group of wealthy families. The aristocratic family has a lot of land. Apart from the previous batch, they naturally have land in their hands.

Moreover, regarding this point, the military generals were excited and motivated, and the civilian group also expressed their approval.

There are many people under Li Xiang who are from common people, some from powerful families, and some from humble backgrounds. But as long as Li Xiang can succeed, they will be the future aristocratic family, and they will need to develop for several generations at most. For example, the Hongnong Yang family and the Hedong Wei family, where did they come from?

After killing the old family, they will have a chance to rise to power. And those families that are dependent on Li Xiang can also help themselves grow and develop by killing families that are hostile to Li Xiang and sucking their flesh and blood.

Therefore, not to mention those deeper factors, just on the issue of welfare benefits, it is destined to be impossible to restrain ancient soldiers in the same way as modern soldiers. If you really want to play hard, you may not know what a barracks mutiny is!

Among the Han Dynasty, the Jin army can still be restrained. Of course it is impossible not to do some things, but at least they will not go too far. Not to mention the generals, even Li Xiang, unless necessary, will pretend that he has not seen many things even if he knows them. . When the water is clear, there will be no fish, just don’t cross the bottom line.

You can't all treat your subordinates and even the soldiers as saints. How can there be so many saints in this world! The reason why something precious is precious is because it is rare or even non-existent!

If we could have restrained ourselves a little when we were in the Han Dynasty, but now that we have come to the Japanese country, we can't still conduct things according to the previous standards, right? You can't still ask your soldiers to become monks who don't eat meat!

Therefore, when the soldiers make a small fortune in the city and find a few flower girls to make themselves happy, this is simply a small matter, and no general is willing to take care of it.

Or in other words, many things that seem outrageous in modern times may be just trivial things that are commonplace if placed in the context of ancient times.

After ignoring the faint shouts of killing coming from outside the window, Bai Qi looked solemnly at the imperial edict in front of him.

Of course, it is said to be an imperial edict, but is it actually any different from Li Xiang's order? It's just that Li Xiang issued his order in the name of another person! It's just that Li Xiang gave his order a shell of righteousness!

If Li Xiang really wanted to issue an imperial edict, what would be the difference between it and his own? After writing it, find someone to go to the palace and put the seal on the jade seal.

To put it bluntly, the things now are actually things in Li Xiang's own home, but in name they are other people's things to the outside world. You can use them casually when you want to use them and when you need to use them.

This imperial edict, or rather the order given by Li Xiang to Bai Qi, of course cannot be something that Li Xiang just passed on to Bai Qi. Rather, before Bai Qi set out for Japan, Li Xiang had already quietly passed on this edict. It's all for nothing.

This is ancient times, not modern times. It is impossible to just make a phone call if you want to convey an order.

In ancient times, if you wanted to convey an order, unless you mobilized enough manpower and material resources to express it in Balili, how long would it take for the order to be transmitted to a slightly farther place?

However, the eight-hundred-mile expedited method is not something that can be used easily. Under normal circumstances, only when major situations occur on the border, this method will be used to convey messages.

Moreover, this is still on land, and you can change horses and run non-stop in the eight-mile express. But now we are in the Japanese country, separated by an ocean. How can your horse come here?

How long does it take to send orders from Luoyang to the Han Dynasty? In other words, how long does it take for the situation here to be transmitted from the Japanese country to Luoyang?

Therefore, every time Li Xiang receives information about the situation of Japan, it cannot be timely news at all, but there is a serious lag.

In addition to making some simple judgments based on the system prompts, Li Xiang wants to know about Bai Qi's situation in Japan. When he really receives the information there, in a better situation, it may be who is in Japan. If things happened months ago, if the situation was not good, then there is no telling how long it took. After all, a shipwreck on the ocean is nothing unusual!

Of course, generally speaking, when Bai Qi conveys a message, it is impossible to send only one group of people to transmit it, but to send several groups of people at the same time. Even if there is a problem with one group of people, it is impossible for several groups of people to have problems at the same time.

If there is a problem with all the people on the road, then there is a small chance, and it is still a very small chance, that you will be unlucky for several lifetimes. The vast majority of the probability is man-made.

There are not so many coincidences in this world. Some of the seemingly coincidences are actually man-made in the final analysis.

Therefore, the imperial edict in front of Bai Qi was actually prepared by Li Xiang for him. It can only be opened after Bai Qi ends the war on the Japanese side.
