Chapter 83 Madam Diplomacy

After returning to Longzhou, Xiao Tianjian took out nearly 2,000 taels of silver and rewarded the meritorious men in this battle. According to the old rules, he engraved the names of the fallen soldiers on several wooden cards as collective spiritual cards and put them in a spiritual tent specially arranged in the army, leading the army, which was very grand. He worshipped them and burned paper money for them to comfort their spirits in heaven.

And this kind of thing has now become the tradition of the Xingtian Army. The names of every fallen soldiers will be engraved on wooden plates, and special scribes will compile books for these fallen soldiers and keep them in a proper way to ensure that their spiritual cards will be taken out to pay tribute during the New Year's holidays.

For this kind of thing, we must not underestimate its role. The ancients believed that people are spiritual in heaven. Many people are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that after death, no one remembers to burn a piece of paper for them to the underworld. They were poor when they were born, but they didn't want to be poor after death, and Xing Tianjun did this and settled a lot of generals. Scholar's heart, let them know that no matter when they unfortunately die in the battlefield, there will always be people in the world who remember them and will burn paper for them to the underworld to ensure that they will no longer be poor in the underworld.

So don't underestimate such a small thing. After learning the psychology of these subordinates, Xiao Tianjian took it as the top priority, and often personally sacrificed and burned paper for these soldiers who had died for the Xingtian Army, which also appeased the hearts of a large number of soldiers.

Although Xing Tianjun does not pay the generals at present, after every battle, he will take out silver money to reward meritorious people. Therefore, the generals of Xing Tianjun are not short of money. As long as they dare to fight, almost everyone has the opportunity to receive rewards. In this way, the soldiers' pockets are gradually full, and the idea of eager to fight is also It has gradually begun to form in the Xingtian Army.

As the saying goes, the soldiers of Xing Tianjun have money to spend, but there was no place to spend before. Most of the things they need are collectively supplied by Xing Tianjun, and they have no chance to go out at all, so even if they have money, they have no place to spend, but now after they come to Longzhou City, they finally look for It's time to spend money.

What Xiao Tianjian never expected was that just after the two armies arrived outside Longzhou City, some unthinking women also gathered outside Longzhou City. No one wanted them to join the army. In order to live in order to stutter, they were actually on some forests or dirt slopes a few miles away from their camp or Build a straw shed, or simply dig a simple earth kiln, and actually start the skin and flesh business of these rebels, which makes some soldiers of the two armies see blood like mosquitoes, and they want to slip to their place to "relax!"

The vast majority of Xingtian's soldiers are bachelors, and because of military discipline, Xing Tianjun did not allow them to rob civilian women as wives, so these bachelors have always been singles. When they had this way for them to relax, they became restless.

Some soldiers tried their best to find excuses and took the opportunity to go out of the camp to "do business". Later, after being discovered by Xiao Tianjian, he wanted to stop it, but on second thought, it was really unfair for him to the soldiers of Xing Tianjun. As a soldier under his command, he had to abide by all kinds of military rules and carry out high-intensity exercises every day. Practice, like an ascetic monks, although he also tries to mobilize their enthusiasm through food and rewards, it is not a way to go on like this for a long time.

And the times are different from the times. At this time, he doesn't want everything to copy the military rules of later generations to restrain his men. That is likely to be counterproductive. The so-called feminism is even more bullshit. Now he proposes feminism, and he will definitely be drowned by spitting.

What's more, he has Fan Linger, but he has to limit the instincts of his subordinates. This matter is not good to say, which will make people feel unfair. And those women who do skin and flesh are actually poor people. They either die their husbands or the whole family. In order to stattering to live, they have no choice but to He didn't even want to do this kind of business. If he strictly restricts the soldiers to go out to "relax", these women don't know how much more they will starve to death.

Although he knows that the weak will be eliminated in troubled times, for a long time, in order to ensure that the Xing Tianjun will not form a huge family group, he always recruits bachelors, and people's food and desire are human instinct, and it is impossible for him to limit the instinct of his generals.

So after thinking about it, he saw that there would be no big war in a short period of time now, so he secretly acquiesced in the "relaxation" of his generals to leave the camp, but this situation was not normal. He also took the opportunity to issue a rule that any team that won the first place in the drill can get out of the camp. The reward of half a day's holiday. In this way, he took advantage of this matter and immediately set off a military training frenzy in the army.

In addition, Xiao Tianjian also found that Li Zicheng's attitude towards him seemed to be better. Even his two wives, who usually did not show up, unexpectedly followed Li Zicheng to the Xingtian camp.

What is different from the official etiquette is that in the Rebels, because they have to fight outside all year round, the wives and children of the generals and soldiers in the army naturally have no fixed place, and can only move around with the Rebels. Therefore, each Rebel has an old camp, which specializes in the placement of these women's and children's soldiers, and the women's soldiers are naturally It is impossible for women to rarely go out and walk around, and for special reasons, they often appear outside and even take on some affairs in the army.

And Li Zicheng's two wives, one is the Gao family, Gao Yingxiang's niece, who is deeply favored by Li Zicheng, and the other is the Xing family that Li Zicheng married after the army in his early years. Because Xing's behavior is fierce, martial arts and wise, and good at counting, Li Zicheng's military affairs in the camp, Li Zicheng handed it over to Xing. Shi is in charge.

Li Zicheng brought the two of them to visit the Xingtian barracks. On the one hand, he wanted to show his goodwill to Xiao Tianjian, and on the other hand, he also wanted to enhance the relationship between the two armies through his wife's diplomacy. This kind of thing is also a common thing among the rebels, and there is no taboo at all.

Although Xiao Tianjian said to Li Zicheng that he has not yet married, and there are very few female relatives in Xing Tianjun's old camp. Only a small number of craftsmen bring their wives and children, which is by no means comparable to the huge old camp of other volunteers, Li Zicheng still learned that Xiao Tianjian has a personal maid, who is a person in Xiao Tianjian's room, and Gao Yingxiang still The gift of a woman butterfly given to Xiao Tianjian is also Xiao Tianjian's woman, so it is not an unexpected move for him to bring his two wives here.

Xiao Tianjian was a little surprised that Li Zicheng brought his two wives over to his Xingtian barracks, but Li Zicheng smiled generously and said, "Brother, no wonder, I heard that you led the army to beat He Renlong and killed nearly a thousand enemies. I admire you very much. I have to take him. We can't see you as a hero, so I have no choice but to bring them to see you! Ha ha!"

After Xiao Tianjian came to this world, he naturally gradually understood the customs of this era and could bring his own insiders out to meet strangers. Generally speaking, it was because of the deep friendship between the two, so he would not avoid suspicion. Li Zicheng's move was to show his goodwill to him. Obviously, he still had the intention to win over him. Taste.

However, since Li Zicheng promised to let him lead the army alone against the incident of He Renlong's department that day, Xiao Tianjian had a gap with Li Zicheng in his heart, and there was no longer the kind of intimacy at first meeting. However, on the surface, since Li Zicheng is still so intimate with him, he will naturally not be stupid as Li Zicheng. Turning back, so on the surface, he is still very close to Li Zicheng. After all, the age difference between the two is not very big. Li Zicheng is less than 30 years old at present, and there is nothing wrong with their brother's commensurance.

Since Li Zicheng brought his two wives, it shows that Li Zicheng is very good at his mind, and this superficial work naturally needs to be done.

For this Mrs. Gao, he once read the book of Li Zicheng written by Yao Xueyin when he was a teenager. Although his memory is already blurred, he still admires the quite righteous Mrs. Gao described in this book. When he saw this Gao, he saw that although Gao was not beautiful, he raised his hand. Between her feet, there is a kind of demeanor, quite decent and quite affinity. No wonder she will be loved by the generals under Li Zicheng.

As soon as Gao Shi saw Xiao Tianjian, she gave him a thousand blessings and said, "Gao has seen General Xiao!"

And the one next to him is naturally Xing. Xing looked at Xiao Tianjian secretly and saw Gao salute Xiao Tianjian, so he immediately stepped forward and said, "Xing has seen General Xiao!"

Xiao Tianjian quickly hugged his fist and returned the salute, "I don't know that the two sisters-in-law came. Xiao has lost his way. I forgive me!"

However, he also paid attention to this Xing family. Compared with the more ordinary Gao family, this Xing family is obviously more beautiful, and her figure is a relatively tall woman in this era, and because she has been marching with Li Zicheng all year round, she can't miss dancing guns and sticks, so her figure is quite good, and even It's hot. Although it's not good to wear it, it's also a thick cloth shirt, but after her deliberate decoration, this thick cloth skirt is also quite decent, outlining her figure very well, and her dress is more gorgeous than Gao's, especially the beautiful eyes, which contain a trace of charming color.

Such a woman is indeed quite attractive to men. Otherwise, the handsome Gao Jie would not have hooked up with Xing.

However, of course, Xiao Tianjian will not fall in love with Xing's beauty. As for the beauty of women, what kind of beauty Xiao Tianjian has never seen from later generations! There are countless beautiful women in various magazines, newspapers, movies and TV every day, so even if Xing is a little beautiful, it is just ordinary in his eyes, and he can't attract any interest at all.

Xiao Tianjian has some sympathy for Li Zicheng. Now although he can't guess whether Xing has hooked up with Gao Jie or not, he estimates that the relationship between the two will never be ordinary.

As a powerful figure, Li Zicheng is also good enough to recite. Before he rebelled, his first wife stole people. As a result, he killed his wife and was arrested. He married a Xing family. He still cuckolded him. He turned his head and glanced at Li Zicheng and looked at Li Zicheng's head. I couldn't help but get a little green light.
