I can sign in in Datang

Chapter 675

Chapter 675

"Take me to see those wounded soldiers who have treated their wounds well," Lin Xuan said.

"This way please, General."

Chen Chuan led Lin Xuan and his party to a tent, and said, "General, those who were seriously injured have already rested after they were bandaged. Those in this tent are relatively light. Have a meal."

After entering the camp, I could smell the smell of mutton soup, and a dozen wounded soldiers were devouring it.

These wounded soldiers were traumatized, so naturally there was no saying that they could not eat meat and fish. On the contrary, in order to heal the wound faster, nutrition should be strengthened instead. Therefore, Lin Xuan specifically explained that the food of the wounded soldiers was much better than that of ordinary soldiers.

The wounded soldiers didn't pay much attention to seeing Chen Chuan coming in at first, but when they saw the connection behind them, they quickly put down their chopsticks and stood up. One of the wounded soldiers also supported the bed and wanted to stand up.

"Okay, you are all injured, so don't be too polite. I just came to see you." Lin Xuan said quickly.

The wounded soldiers were very moved when they heard this.

Every time a dog is slaughtered by justice, it is mostly a scholar who bears his heart.

These soldiers may not understand the reason why scholars die for their confidants. They live at the bottom, and the superiors pay a little attention to them, which makes them grateful.

"How is it? Is there any discomfort in the wound? Does the food suit your appetite?" Lin Xuan asked.

In fact, Lin Xuan had already seen that the mutton in the bowls of the wounded soldiers was large, and the quantity was quite large. It can be seen that Chen Chuan followed his instructions and did not withhold the meals of the wounded soldiers.

The reason why he asked this question was to reassure the representatives of each battalion through the mouths of those wounded soldiers.

"Back to the general, except for the pain when I first cleaned the wound, the wound is no longer painful. The food is very good, and we can't finish the meat." A soldier showed a satisfied smile on his face.

In fact, when the military doctors cleaned their wounds at first, they didn't understand either.

Some of them had been injured before, so they just applied some medicine and bandaged them.

But when the military doctor explained the benefits of doing this to them, even if they didn't understand it very well, they gritted their teeth and persisted.

"Recover well, I'm still waiting to lead you to make contributions."

Knowing that he was staying here, Lin Xuan made the wounded soldiers feel uncomfortable, so after a few words of encouragement, he led everyone away.

Next, Lin Xuanyou showed them a few tents, which were similar to the previous one.

After a circle, Lin Xuan looked at the representatives of each battalion and said: "You have all seen that these wounded soldiers are fine. The reason why they screamed is because they washed their wounds with strong alcohol. You are all veterans, so you should also I know that after many people are injured, the wound will rot soon, and some people even lose their lives if the injury is not serious. Although it is painful to clean the wound with strong alcohol, it can prevent this situation very well. I dare not say that it can save lives. Every wounded soldier will die less than before."

"General, it's the little ones who don't know what is good or bad, and misunderstood the general's good intentions."

Although Lin Xuan's method is useful or not, they don't know yet.

But they have seen the living conditions of those wounded soldiers.

Lin Xuan nodded in satisfaction and let them go back.

Presumably after these people go back, the rumors will be self-defeating.

The soldiers in the early Tang Dynasty had no military pay, and they even had to bring their own weapons and horses for war.

However, being a soldier is also beneficial. The family can meet to collect taxes, and the captured things will also be distributed to the soldiers according to the number of enemies killed by the soldiers.

This is the reason why the army in the early Tang Dynasty was so powerful.

To put it bluntly, winning or losing is related to the interests of soldiers.

This is why the early Tang Dynasty was not rich, but could support so many soldiers and horses, and the reason why the combat effectiveness was still so strong.

When the land area of ​​the Song Dynasty was the largest, it was only one-fifth of that of the Tang Dynasty when it was the strongest.

But the financial revenue of the Song Dynasty was several times that of the Tang Dynasty.

However, the Song Dynasty was very poor. You read that right, the Song Dynasty was very rich, but the court was very poor.

This has to talk about the system of the Song Dynasty. After Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty, surrounded by many enemies, he had to raise a large number of troops.

Years of war and natural disasters have created a large number of refugees.

In order to prevent social turmoil, the imperial court recruited young and strong refugees into the army.

The court of the Song Dynasty had a very good idea. Recruiting young and strong men into the barracks could not only replenish soldiers, but also solve social hidden dangers.

The soldiers of the Song Dynasty were mostly for life, so the old ones never died, and the new ones entered again.

This led to more and more soldiers and horses in the Song Dynasty.

According to historical records, during the founding period of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were about 20 forbidden troops.

And when the Northern Song Dynasty perished, how many were there?

Anyone who has read "Water Margin" should know that Lin Chong is known as the head coach of the 80 forbidden army.

Many stories in "Water Margin" are fictitious, but the 80 forbidden troops are not too exaggerated. In fact, even if there were no 80 forbidden troops in the Song Huizong period, it was not far behind.

The reason why the Forbidden Army is called the Forbidden Army is because it is responsible for defending the capital.

In the Song Dynasty, there were only 80 Guangjun troops. With the rest of the army, the number of troops can be imagined.

However, the Northern Song Dynasty, which had the largest army in the ancient feudal dynasty, was destroyed by 6 people in the Jin Dynasty.

Many people think that this has something to do with the Song Dynasty's emphasis on literature over military affairs.

Lin Xuan does not deny this, but it may not have nothing to do with those soldiers.

The 80 imperial guards sound scary, but in fact most of them are rogues.

In addition, the Song Dynasty had a recruiting system, and soldiers were paid by the army. Those people ate and waited to die, which cost the court a lot of money and food.

Jin Bing came, but he ran faster than anyone else.

Otherwise, 80 pigs would be enough for [-] Jin soldiers to kill for a long time, and they would not be killed by Jin Guo. The entire Northern Song Dynasty royal family was almost wiped out.

When Lin Xuan first entered the barracks, he felt that the system of the Tang Dynasty was somewhat inhumane.

But if you think about it carefully, this is also the best way.

In the early Tang Dynasty, there were 80 million troops. Even if each person sent 10,000 articles a month, it would cost 100+ guan in a month, and more than [-] million guan in a year.

The imperial court did not have this kind of expenditure, and the fiscal revenue was stretched. If there is more expenditure in this regard, that day will not pass.

In fact, during the Tang Xuanzong period, when the finances were ample, they also began to pay soldiers.

As long as the morale of the army is not disturbed, these soldiers will also be full of fighting spirit in order to obtain more wealth.

Sure enough, after the representatives of the battalions went back, it didn't take long for the news about the wounded and sick battalions to spread throughout the military camps.

Those who can be elected as representatives are all small military officers, who are relatively prestigious in a small area, and their words are convincing.

Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief seeing that the army's morale was stable.

Although he inherited Zhao Yun's martial arts, he failed to inherit Zhao Yun's experience.

Leading troops before was just training, but now I know that leading troops is not so simple.

After explaining to Xue Rengui and the others, Lin Xuan went back to rest a little tired.

Physical fatigue is nothing, the most important thing is spiritual.

After sleeping all night, when Lin Xuan woke up the next day, he felt refreshed.

"Sign in."

"Ding~, congratulations to the host for successfully signing in, and rewarding mastery of painting skills."

Lin Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and after careful consideration, he realized that today is the first day of May.

Next, a lot of knowledge about painting flooded into Lin Xuan's mind.

After a long time, Lin Xuan let out a breath. After absorbing the knowledge about painting art, he had the urge to pick up a brush and paint.
