Eight princes, nine names, all "connected".
Next, there are some issues with the details.
Chu Qing is not a fool either. If he has any merit, he must be fully reported.
Managing the people's livelihood was originally Tao Weiran's credit, but Fatty Tao already had a prince. Chu Qing made a few strokes and put these credits on Lv Zhu's head.
After thinking for a while, Chu Qing felt that the defection of Peregrine Falcon, Dong Tu, and those pasture herdsmen to Chang Chao was a great achievement, and in the end it was Tong Gui's fault.
Tong Gui, who was watching the excitement, shook his head like a rattle, disagreeing life and death, his face turned red.
Chu Qing didn't care about him at all and just wrote it on his own.
After thinking for a moment, he felt that Tuoba Le's incident could be regarded as a contribution, as it could make many tribes in the grassland defect or switch sides. In the end, Chu Qing attributed this contribution to Xu Tianchen.
It’s not nonsense, because Tuoba Le’s “guardian” is Mu Hua, and Mu Hua was ruined by Xu Xiaopao.
When I write about Xu Xiaopao, I can’t help but mention the wolf-catching army.
The credit of Lin Kui and Song Zhong was for leading the wolf-catching army to break up the rear. This credit suited them well because neither of them had official positions. The credit for the vanguard army's food and grass supplies should actually be divided into two parts. Chang Xian came up with the plan. Lin Kui and Song Zhong went to implement it.
Even if it is divided into two parts, the separation is still a great achievement, so Chu Qing also counts the two fools of the Fu family, Lin Hai, Song Zhong, and the two fools of the Fu family. The four people share the credit equally, and it is credited to each individual. , no worse than the Formation Killing Prairie Prince, but even higher.
After writing three to four thousand words eloquently, Chu Qing scrawled and corrected it, and finally gave it to Ma Ang, who copied it again, and then gave it to Ma Rujing for a look. If there were no problems, he would send someone to send it away to the capital today.
In fact, among so many achievements, the frontier army also contributed a lot, but Chu Qing knew what the frontier army wanted.
What I said before was just a joke. So many livestock, supplies, and war horses belong to the border army. The people of Wangyuan City do not need so many livestock and war horses.
Just as Chu Qing promised Feng Shuai, he would make the frontier army fat and strong, not how many military merits the frontier army had, how many people were promoted, how many people were knighted, these are not important, ordinary soldiers There is no way for the soldiers to receive this kind of credit. The generals have long been prepared to stay at the border for a lifetime. Promotion or knighthood has no meaning to them, so supplies are the most practical.
Just as Chu Qing thought, the military report was sent away that night, and Ma Rujing also came in person with the generals and deputy generals of the six camps to thank him.
Chu Qing accepted military salutes from everyone, including Ma Rujing.
He brought his friends from afar, even through life and death, he could bear the courtesy and gratitude.
As usual, it was time to eat and drink again, but now everyone is still worried about eating meat.
In the past, I was worried about having no meat to eat.
Now I am worried about not being able to finish eating.
War horses are easy to talk about. They are sent to Zhechong Mansion and Tunbingwei in various places on Xunyang Road. They will keep them first and then send them over if necessary. The distance is not far. They are mainly cattle and sheep. Even if the family members take away a lot, there are still some left. More than half of them, the cattle must be raised by the border army. As for the sheep, Chu Qing originally wanted to give them to the people who came out of the customs, but the people didn't want them, so they wanted to give them to the border troops. He also said that Tao Weiran himself calculated the wages for them, after leaving the customs. In those days, when wages had doubled, they could no longer ask for sheep. The sheep were given to the border troops. Only when the border troops were full could they have the strength to protect them.
I hope the consciousness of these unruly people in Yuancheng will be much stronger than that of the unruly people in Beijing.
Meat and wine were served, and the generals' eating habits were much more refined than before.
The few times I came here before, everyone devoured their food as if they were just a second away from starving to death.
Now these generals drink a lot of wine and eat very little meat, mainly because they are tired of eating recently and have indigestion.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Ma Rujing sat in front of Chu Qing with a wine bottle, his expression quite complicated.
"Are you...going back soon?"
"I don't know." Chu Qing shook his head: "It depends on the situation."
"The Great Khan of the Golden Wolf King can no longer assemble the rangers of various tribes. Without heirs, those tribes are like wolves, waiting for opportunities. If the Golden Wolf King is not stupid, he must be in a state of despair now and no longer thinks about attacking. I am prosperous, but to appease all the ministries."
Chu Qing hummed slightly. This was similar to what he had guessed. Sheng Zhaojun and Mu Hua also thought so. They were both sure that the Golden Wolf King would not be able to attack Chang within a few years. He was already so old and could not lead the army himself. Impossible. Even if he personally leads the army and has no heirs, only the third generation, the Golden Eagle Tribe and many tribes will stumble and seize the opportunity to seek independence and cause civil strife.
"Don't worry, as long as the news is uncertain, we will stay here for another day."
Niu Ren and Yang Baobei also sat over. The former's face was full of reluctance: "You are the son of the Chu family, the son of General Chu Wensheng and Chu Wu'an. Why do you want to return to the capital?" I will return to the court, be with my brothers, protect the country, protect the people, and one day expand the territory, I am so happy, why should I go back."
Many generals looked over with complicated expressions.
We have been together for a long time, and we also know what is going on with Chu Qing. If you change to another general or other supervisor, you will definitely not have much freedom. You can go wherever the court tells you to go, but Chu Qing is different. Everyone can see it. Yes, this guy can be wherever he wants. In that case, why not stay at the border.
Yang Baobei echoed: "What Lao Niu said is true. Life at the border is gradually getting better. You don't have to worry about your food and drink, and you don't have to worry about your clothes. There's nothing wrong with being with your brothers."
"Generals, our Dachang Dynasty needs fat and strong people. There are many people, many, many people, not just here."
Chu Qing poured himself a drink and smiled: "Before I came here, I didn't know what I could do, and I'm not sure about the future, but I have to try. Before I met Feng Shuai, my dream was It is to open the Poor School to all the schools in the world, but it has only been opened in Beijing, and other schools have not yet been opened. Even our border has a Poor School, so I have to go back and do a lot of things that I have not finished. "
Speaking of this, Chu Qing also sighed silently.
The word "poor family" does not actually mean ordinary people. It refers to the children of poor families, ancestors or fathers, who have a certain status.
The name was originally chosen because I didn’t want the aristocratic families to be too alert, so I couldn’t call it the Diaomin University Hall.
But even so, apart from Jingzhong, the other academies for poor families still couldn't run. None of the academies set up by the merchants in Jingzhong in other academies were successful, and they were all blocked by powerful local families.
Now that the workshops have been set up, the people of Wangyuan City are united as one, and the three departments of Shencao, Peregrine Falcon and Dongtu have made a good start. More and more herdsmen will defect to them. Where there are manpower, there will be output. With the output, they can be self-sufficient. The frontier army's current food and grass can last until the middle of next year, and they have to eat it with open stomachs. This does not include the output of Wangyuan City after it gets on the right track next year. In addition, with the addition of aristocratic families Regardless of whether these new soldiers come back or not, the Xunyang Dao family will not do anything wrong again. Instead, they will have to cooperate with the border troops.
It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them how to fish. Chu Qing did this.
It is no longer a problem to feed and clothe the border troops. Now it depends on whether the Golden Wolf King will have convulsions. As long as he is sure not to call, Chu Qing's mission will be completed.
"Third brother told me before that the border troops were suffering because few people died, so I had to go back and kill people."
Chu Qing raised his wine glass and toasted all the generals. After drinking it in one gulp, he said seriously: "I have done everything I can do here, and there are still some things I should do. I can't do it here. If the Golden Wolf King doesn't fight Come, I will go back. After I go back, I will still help you, help the frontier troops, and help the troops of the world, to repay your kindness to me, Chu Qing, and to the people of Chang Dynasty. I, Chu Qing, thank you all, and thank the border troops. All the troops have done for our country, our people, and everything we have done."
As soon as Chu Qing finished speaking, before he could continue to stir up emotion, a military team ran in and came to Ma Rujing.
"Commander, a messenger has come to the Golden Wolf King's tent. Do you want to enter?"
"Entry?"
"He said he was going to the capital to see me, the Emperor Chang Chao, and file a complaint."
Ma Rujing looked confused: "Complain?"
"Yes, they said that the wolf-catching army turned the grassland into pieces, stole their food and grass, killed all their princes, and captured the eldest prince. Their envoys want to enter the customs and Beijing to seek justice from the emperor, right? But he didn’t mention anything about the vanguard army and denied that he wanted to attack Dachang.”
A group of generals yelled and cursed, and Ma Rujing sneered again and again: "Where does the confusion of right and wrong come from?"
Tao Weiran smiled and said: "Commander, don't be upset. The envoy knows that they are confusing right and wrong. They are just trying to negotiate a peace with the situation."
Tao Shaozhang shouted angrily: "Just cut them all off."
"No." Chu Qing smiled treacherously: "Let them enter the capital, and the more miserable the situation, the better, hahahaha."
