Chapter Twenty-Eight

The first update was presented, and then rolled around the ground to ask for votes

......

"This is the courage of ten thousand men who do not stop...the courage of ten thousand men who do not stop..."

After listening to Chen Dexing’s statement, Liao Yingzhong just kept saying these words in his heart - the courage of ten thousand men to resist!

There are a lot of such a strong general who competes with ten thousand men in history books, and there are countless people like the strong Han and Tang dynasties. But there are rare such strong generals in the Song Dynasty... Yue Fei, Wu Jie, and Han Shizhong, among the four generals of Zhongxing, all have such bravery. Zhang Xian, the eldest son of Yue Wumu, and Yue Yun, were also such bravery. Bi Zaiyu was also such bravery during the Kaixi Northern Expedition. Hu Zaixing, the brave general who followed Zhao Fang, who was the commander of the west of the Beijing commander, also had such bravery. Meng Zongzheng and Meng Gong, and his son also had such bravery. Now the only people who can compete with Chen Dexing in front of him seem to be Lu Wende, Liu Zheng, Wang Jian, etc. can afford the bravery of ten thousand men.

Moreover, even the above brave generals did not seem to have a case of commanding a thousand Song army infantry to cut down more than 400 real Tartar heads?

But... why did such a rare brave general give himself such a generous gift? Was he afraid that Privy Councillor and Li Tingzhi would bury him?

Thinking of this, Liao Yingzhong's brow frowned slightly - Chen Dexing was brave enough, but he had no name for knowing people.

"The clan of the old nephew made this special merit, and the Privy Councilor will definitely report it to the official family. How to reward the official family is not able to interfere with the subordinates..."

While speaking, he handed the gift list back to Chen Dexing. Liao Yingzhong was a corrupt official. The Song Dynasty officials are now serving as official salaries. If they are not greedy, they will definitely be in trouble. But he is a corrupt official with a rank and qualifying career. He has to do things for others when he receives gifts. Chen Dexing's contribution is real and he can achieve success without his speaking. Therefore, he cannot accept this gift.

But Chen Dexing shook his head and did not reach out to retrieve the gift list. He just lowered his voice and said, "Uncle Liao, I have something to ask for."

Liao Yingzhong looked up at Chen Dexing and said, "Nephew Qingzhi, if your words just now are true, Lu Wende, Xia Yong and today's status, you can also have them in twenty years."

Chen Dexing still shook his head. Twenty years later... there will be no Song Dynasty! So he must climb faster, seize the day and not follow the steps!

"Uncle Liao Shi's uncle, my nephew wants to lead the army. In addition, my nephew's contribution depends entirely on the lives of the soldiers, and my nephew dare not live alone."

After hearing Chen Dexing's words, Liao Yingzhong looked embarrassed. He was at least the commander of the left or right army under the Wu Rui army... Chen Dexing's contribution was enough. After being transferred to the four officials, he would have corresponding official ranks, but his qualifications in the army were still too shallow.

The soldiers dared not be alone in their lives... Liao Yingzhong was a little uncertain. Chen Dexing saw the other party's doubts and immediately took out a list and handed it over, saying, "Brother Liao, these people have made contributions. I hope Mr. Shi, I can speak well in front of the Privy Councilor so that they can have an official position."

"Lu Hu, Monk Liu, Gao Da, Wang Hu, Wang Fei, Gu Dali, Cheng Da'an..." Liao Yingzhong read the names on the list one by one, but his brows became tighter and tighter. There were twenty-two people on this list, all of whom were temporary officers brought back by Chen Dexing from the battlefield. Except for Lu Da'an, all of them had no official status, and most of them were just a part of the role.

There is no problem in promoting Chen Dexing. As long as he reports his performance on the battlefield to the officials, he might be rewarded with a rampant official (youwulang to Tongshi, and then he will be the de facto official of the military officer). As for the post of a military envoy, he can even get the position of a military officer with his eyes closed. It is easy to handle the commander of the first army, and he will help him to keep his words. But it is probably not easy to handle the promotion of twenty-two people at once... Although the military officers of the Song Dynasty are not worth much, they are still officials at all! There are 40,000 to 50,000 troops in Yangzhou, and there are no less than ten people in the command of the capital alone. Most of them are long-term generals who have been leading troops for many years. Who doesn’t have a few white-bodied children who want to make up for the official?

To be reincarnated, it is naturally necessary to make a contribution. This hardest credit... is naturally the head of the Tartars! Should Chen Dexing take out some of the more than 400 Tartar heads in his hand?

Liao Yingzhong's voice was low, "Qingzhi nephew, your official position is no longer the Lianghuai Fushi. With me here, no one dares to swallow your contributions. Once the war between Lianghuai is over, most of the officials will have to see you... But there are many children of Lianghuai generals without officials, and there are hundreds of them in Yangzhou alone, and everyone is waiting to be an official. If you promote these twenty-two people, there will be twenty-two generals who have no official position!"

Chen Dexing met Liao Yingzhong's gaze and knew that he would no longer bring out some real things, so Liao Yingzhong refused to help.

"I know what Liao Shiwang said. But what I want to do is not an official but a business. Today, people who can be an official in the Song Dynasty are people who can do things. My nephew himself is a general. Don't you know how easy it is to get an official in the family? It is either a supplement or a meritorious person. As long as you can do things, you probably have already obtained an official. Even if you don't have an official position, it's useless to be an official. Instead of giving these officials to them, it's better to give them to those who can do things."

Working is different from being an official. The trick to being an official is to be charming. As long as the superior likes, you can be promoted step by step. When doing things, you not only need the support from the superiors, but also the subordinates and minions! Especially when doing things in the army, there is no group of subordinates who can live and die together, and even Mao Taizu will be fooled by it when he travels over. Therefore, if Chen Dexing wants to do things, he must promote a group of military heroes who shared life and death with him on the battlefield yesterday to be officials! Among these people, except for Lu Daan who was originally an official, he could also rely on the two generals of Huai, all military men with no background in the army, and they can be cultivated into confidants...

Liao Yingzhong still shook his head, "Do you know this when you are the Privy Councilor?"

Chen Dexing smiled, "What the Privy Councilor doesn't know now is how capable my nephew is in doing things! If he knows, what are the twenty-two officials?"

Liao Yingzhong widened his eyes.

"......The world of the Song Dynasty is so critical now. Privy Councillor and Liao Shibo must be clear about it. Even if the Northern Khan's personal expedition was repelled by the Gong, the Song Dynasty was only exempted from the crisis of immediate overturning. If he looked a little further, it would still be difficult to escape the country! Because the Song Dynasty is now attacked from three sides, except for a few ways, the whole country has been transformed into scorched earth on the battlefield. There is no longer the financial resources to support it for a long time, and the national strength is still there!"

Chen Dexing's tone was faint, but he was talking about the overall strategic situation that the general of his level should not be understood and that it was unlikely to understand. Liao Yingzhong, who was already in danger of overthrowing in the Song Dynasty, was also widening his eyes, but he was frightened when he heard it.

"...This time the attack of the Northern Barbarians is different from the past. Because the Northern Barbarians not only came from the north, but from the north and southwest three sides! The Tubo Kingdom and the Dali Kingdom were subdued by the Northern Barbarians a few years ago, and even the Southern Jiaozhi Kingdom of the Song Dynasty also surrendered to the Northern Barbarians. Not only were Sichuan attacked on three sides, but the rich land of Chengdu in Hanzhong and Chengdu was no longer in danger. Even Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan and other routes also reported that the Northern Barbarians were attacking themselves by Jiaozhi. The original land of peace and happiness has now turned into battlefields. How much is left for the imperial court's wealth and wealth, and the land of hundreds of thousands of military salaries?

As I know, the salary obtained by hundreds of thousands of Song soldiers is all Chu coins, and the use of the Song Dynasty is all based on paper. The excessive issuance of Chu coins is really a way to quench thirst. If it is done in the short term, the overall situation may not be damaged, but if this continues, the country may collapse without fighting. I think the Privy Councillor would not think that the Song army will always work hard for a few pieces of Chu paper, right?"

Chen Dexing paused when he said this, looking at Liao Yingzhong, who was speechless, for a while, he heard him sigh: "Nephew Qingzhi, I didn't expect you to see these things... This country's use is indeed a bit insufficient. After passing the current level, you have to think more about this. But this matter has nothing to do with you, a general."

Chen Dexing smiled faintly and looked at Liao Yingzhong, "Uncle Liao, my nephew's responsibility may not be financial planning, but my nephew has a way to ease the crisis for Da Song."
