Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3396 The ambition of the individual
What about killing?Come on, come on, although I don't know if Khan has a beautiful and beautiful Ketun, but this brother Khan is determined to be the commander-in-chief, drink this cup to the full! "

Tu Midu didn't understand whether he had a beautiful Ke Dun and whether Fang Jun was willing to make friends with him, but when he saw Fang Jun toasting, he got a headache and said in admiration: "The commander-in-chief has a great drinking capacity, Being able to swallow the three rivers, drink the five lakes, and be willing to bow down... Well, General Xue, don’t sit aside, you should also pay respects to the commander!"

He winked at Xue Rengui again and again, begging Xue Rengui to lend a helping hand and help him block, he really couldn't stand it...

Xue Rengui laughed. Seeing that Fang Jun's goal had been achieved, he raised his wine glass and said, "The Khan is generous and heroic, and promises a thousand gold, but it's a pity that he can't drink enough... Come, the general will toast the general!"

The two had a drink together, and Fang Jun put down his glass, and enjoyed the mellow barbecue with a smile on his face...

*****
The climate in the Western Regions was extremely cold this winter. Since the beginning of winter, there has been heavy snowfall. The snow on the roads is often more than one foot thick, and the snow in the wild is even mountainous, which brings great difficulties to field battles.

A group of Tang troops trekked hard in the snow.

Fang Jun was wearing sable fur and a big cloak, and rode his horse. He had felt the biting cold wind for a long time, and couldn't help but wonder when did the Little Ice Age begin, and did it end in the late Ming and early Qing?

In history, the Little Ice Age spread disasters all over the world. Not only were natural disasters at the end of Ming Dynasty still frequent and food shortages led to starvation everywhere, but Sweden, Norway and other places were also plagued by disasters during the same period, with hailstorms, heavy snowstorms, and heavy rains. Death caused a huge turning point in the process of human civilization.

Just looking at the continuous heavy snow and severe cold weather, it seems that it is not too different from the words and sentences describing the natural disasters in the late Ming Dynasty in the history books...

Wang Fangyi followed behind step by step, his body bumped up and down with the horse, but his head was always raised, a pair of sharp eyes kept looking around, looking through the wind and snow to observe the situation in the distance, even a slight change could not be hidden from his eyes. Eye.

The troops marched to the lee of a hill, Fang Jun raised his hand: "Stop advancing, rest on the spot!"

The troops stopped when they heard the words, and the scouts ran non-stop towards the four directions. Some rode horses to the top of the mountain to look down on the surrounding situation to avoid being attacked by the enemy.

The rest of the soldiers got off their horses, cleaned up a place under the hill, and then sat on the ground, taking off their dry food and drinking water to replenish their strength.

Marching in this kind of weather is the most difficult. It seems that you can't run fast, but it consumes the most energy.

Fang Jun also got off his horse. A soldier took out a stall from his rucksack and spread it on the snow. Fang Jun rubbed his waist, stretched his legs, and exhaled.

As a result, after taking a bite of the dry food handed by the soldiers, Wang Fangyi also moved over.

Fang Jun said while eating: "These days you are responsible for harassing the Arabs, and the effect is remarkable. After this battle, there will be a reward document from the Ministry of War. There are millions of soldiers in the Tang army, and young men like you show their achievements , It’s not uncommon, and the future is bright. Are you interested in going back to Chang’an, studying in Zhenguan Academy for a few years, studying hard, and learning formal military knowledge?”

Wang Fangyi froze for a moment, hesitated for a moment, then shook his head under Fang Jun's astonished gaze, and said, "I don't want to!"

Ah!
Fang Jun was really shocked.

In today's world, who doesn't know the meaning of the words "Zhenguan Academy"?The real academic ability is second, the most important is the title of "Student of the Son of Heaven", as long as you have this, you can say "I am a student of His Majesty", no matter in the officialdom or in the army, it is a proper " "Emperor Party", with profound qualifications, the resources for promotion are naturally inexhaustible.

I don't know how many outstanding Guanlong children dreamed of going to the academy to study, to be gilded, to be promoted and make a fortune after graduation, but because of Fang Jun's suppression, they couldn't get in, and resentment had already filled the whole Guanzhong!

The black and thin boy in front of him actually refused?
He wondered: "Have you never heard of the name 'Zhenguan Academy'?"

This kid was abandoned by his family and left in the Western Regions where the birds don't shit Jiang Hengfu...

Unexpectedly, Wang Fangyi said: "Of course I have heard that the younger generation in the army is proud to enter the academy."

Fang Jun became more and more curious, took a sip of water, and asked: "Then why don't you want to? You must know that my commander holds the position of the secretary of the academy, and if you say something arrogant, you can say what you say in the academy. Once a person enters the academy, he becomes a key student, not only able to acquire the best knowledge, but also has a bright future after graduation."

Nowadays, among the young and handsome people in Chang'an City, which one of them is trying to get a letter of recommendation from Fang Jun so that he can enter the academy?

This kid actually doesn't want the benefits that are at his fingertips...

Wang Fangyi took a bite of the jerky in his hand, remained silent for a while, and then slowly said: "What's the use of being a college student? If you want to be promoted to a noble, you have to wait until after graduation, and you have to work hard for ten or eight years. OK, I can't wait."

After a pause, Fang Jun didn't need to ask, he explained by himself: "My father died very early, only the widowed mother dragged me and my younger siblings, the elders in the family disliked my mother for being a 'kefu', and kicked my family out. I don’t care. I came to the Western Regions to serve as a soldier because there are many wars in the Western Regions. There are many battles in the Western Regions. There are many opportunities to make meritorious deeds. I just want to be promoted quickly. Brother and sister."

Fang Jun was silent for a moment, and understood Wang Fangyi's thoughts.

Academy students are precious, but it will take at least ten or eight years to cash out the rectification resources, and you have to be lucky enough.

But Wang Fangyi couldn't wait for so many years, maybe he could wait, but his mother and younger siblings couldn't wait...

"This time you led the army to harass the enemy's camp, and you have made many meritorious deeds. When the documents of the Ministry of War are issued, you must be more or less a brigade commander. Isn't that enough?"

"How can that be?"

Wang Fangyi straightened his waist, took a bite of the jerky in his hand, poured another mouthful of water, and said loudly: "We were in the Western Regions where we fought bloody battles against enemy chieftains. We slapped our heads and sprinkled our blood. What we did was not to return home with rich clothes and honor our ancestors? I am a family It doesn't matter if you are an abandoned person, honoring your ancestors, those ancestors probably don't look down on me, but I have to be promoted to honor my mother, let my younger sister marry a good family, and my younger brother have a good future! Handsome, how can I? Don't be afraid of the commander's jokes, my ambition is at least to be a general in the army!"

The surrounding soldiers all heard Wang Fangyi's words and cheered loudly.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, martial arts flourished.The country's rewards for military exploits are extremely generous, making those who have won military exploits not only high-ranking officials, but also have a high social status.The Tang Dynasty continued the martial arts strategy of the Qin and Han Dynasties, making all the men in the Tang Dynasty pursue martial arts, and taking martial arts as the highest glory made the martial arts flourish and the country powerful.

It doesn't matter if you don't know how to read or write, as long as you have a knife and a horse, when the flames of the frontier pass scream and gather together, step on the horse to defend the country and guard the border, you can fight for a prosperous future with the courage of a man!
Therefore, Tang Erlang of the Han Dynasty, all bloody and brave, is there half a pretentious generation?

It's okay to apply powder and arrange flowers, but if someone is "weak and slender" or "willow thin waist", he will be ridiculed, and the world will not tolerate it...

The tyranny of a country naturally comes from this foundation.

If the whole country is full of those "girl guns" and can only wait until the Fanbang Hu tribe invades from the border, weeping and kneeling down to become thieves, how can they still protect their parents, wives and children?
Fang Jun was also heartbroken, the snowflakes drifting on his face was cool, but it could not extinguish the fire in his heart, with the applause of all the soldiers, he also raised his arms and shouted: "Then let this commander lead you to drive out the Tartars!" , make meritorious deeds, and then you will be promoted to a noble, and your wife and son will be conferred!"

"Here!"

"We swear to follow the commander to the death!"

"The handsome is mighty!"

……

Under the hill, hundreds of soldiers raised their arms and shouted, causing the sky to be filled with wind and snow.

For these soldiers who don't know a single typewriter, it is nonsense to say that the family, the country, and the world are all nonsense. Who can understand, and who has the patience to understand?
A simple slogan like "enhance the official title" and "enclose the wife and son" is more beneficial and effective than any other slogan!

Fang Jun collected the dry rations and clear water, got up and jumped on the horseback, calling out to his soldiers: "Let's go quickly, arrive at Jiaohe City before sunset!"

"Here!"

The soldiers got on their horses one after another, and hurried on in the wind and snow.
