Chapter 928 The foundation of the army

Li You walked over, took out a letter from it with his own hands, looked at the name on it, and said to a Goguryeo general: "This is for you."

The general answered in confusion, opened the envelope and started reading.

Li You said: "If there is nothing secret, let's read it to everyone."

The general gave everyone the book and belief in his hand.

This is a family letter, written by his wife, which said that in order to support the frontline operations, stabilize the hearts of the soldiers in frontlines, and prevent them from worrying about their family affairs. Therefore, the family of each soldier who participated in the war wrote a family letter to the soldiers who fought on the frontline to report their safety, so that they would not care about their family affairs. During the war, the government would visit various families at any time to help them solve their difficulties, and exempt them from taxes and labor in their families this year and next year.

In the letter, the general's wife said that he would fight bravely on the front line and bring glory to his family.

Then, Li Jinxing asked for a speech. He said, "Your Highness, I have a letter from ordinary soldiers here, which I believe represents the wishes of the vast majority of ordinary soldiers."

Li Jinxing was prepared for a long time, so he specially selected a letter from an ordinary Goguryeo soldier, a letter written by his wife to his husband.

He said in love: "Changshun's father, the government invited a doctor for his mother-in-law, cured her illness, Changshun was also arranged to enter the official school, exempting our family from taxes and labor for the next two years, and taking good care of our family. Don't worry about the family's affairs anymore.

When you fight on the front line, you must listen to your superiors and don’t do anything to let the government down. Our neighbors have made guarantees for you, so you must not harm them.

On the battlefield, you must take good care of yourself and strive for meritorious service. The government said that if you can make military achievements, the government will also divide some land for our family..."

The generals of Goguryeo understood that the government cared about the families of every soldier who participated in the war, which also showed that the government monitored the families of every soldier who participated in the war.

In this case, the officers and soldiers of ordinary troops will not rebel with the generals for their own families. If they do so, they will involve their families.

Soldiers are the foundation of the army, and their family is their foundation. Li You's move is equivalent to mastering the foundation of the Goguryeo New Army. If you want to lead such an army to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, the result can be imagined.

For these senior generals, their families are completely under the control of the government, and it can also be said that they act as hostages to suppress the generals fighting on the front line.

The so-called those who know the times are heroes.

These generals of the Goguryeo New Army were not fools. They participated in the conspiracy of the Queen of the Wanu State because the Queen of the Wanu State promised to get rid of Li You first. If the Eastern Expedition Army loses its commander, it will inevitably be in chaos. They took the opportunity to rebel and seek greater benefits, and it is best to restore the original territory of Goguryeo.

Now Li You is sitting here for a long time and has seen through the conspiracy of the Queen of the Japanese Empire and others. He can be said to be very familiar with the details of these Goguryeo people. Moreover, it is difficult for the ordinary soldiers under their command to rebel with them in this environment.

Among the Eastern Expedition Army, there were only these 50,000 new troops in the Goguryeo Army. The supply of food and other materials all depended on the Tang Dynasty, and there was a powerful Tang army fleet at the sea. If they rebelled, they had to rely on the Japanese people to provide logistical support, and the Japanese people could not count on them.

Even if the people of the Tang Dynasty did not send troops to siege them and cut off their food and supplies, they could dismantle this Goguryeo army.

In this case, if these generals of the Goguryeo Xin Army still follow the Queen of the Japanese and others to make trouble, they will be really in a state of mind.

The generals of the Goguryeo New Army looked at the commander of the Eastern Expedition Army, Li You, and thought to himself: "You keep saying that the queen of the Japanese country is insidious, you are much more sinister than her."

They have now completely understood the situation. Since Li You did not pursue the fact that they had colluded with the Queen of the Japanese Slave Kingdom and gave them a way out, these people are not fools and will naturally make the right choice. They once again expressed that they would obey the dispatch of the General's Mansion of the Eastern Expedition Army, fight bravely, and live up to the expectations of His Highness the Northwest King. Please see their performance.

The general of the Ninth Town of the Goguryeo New Army where Li Jinxing was located was the leader of the contact with the Queen of the Japanese Empire and others this time. He now recognized the situation. In order to show his sincerity, he took the initiative to express his intentions and said that he would cooperate closely with the military supervisors sent by the court and obey the command of the General's Office of the Eastern Expedition Army in all actions.

Li Daozong and Niu Jinda were aware of the situation of the Goguryeo New Army. They were very worried that this army would rebel at a critical moment, which would be a fatal matter. They once suggested not to allow these troops to participate in the war to conquer the Japanese kingdom, and arrest their main generals in Baekje and disband them on the spot.

Li You disagreed with this. The total number of Goguryeo New Army was no less than 200,000. Taking such a method to deal with these Goguryeo people would have a very bad impact on Goguryeo New Army in other places.

Now, seeing Li You solve such a complex problem so easily, Li Daozong and others admire him very much. Turning enemies into friends is a huge difference compared to fighting with the enemy to death.

Li Shimin is known for his broad mind. Li You has completely inherited Li Shimin's excellent qualities in this regard, and is even better than that.

So far, the problems within the Eastern Expedition Army have basically been solved.

After the meeting, Li Jinxing came to say goodbye to Li You. Li You was very satisfied with his performance and said, "After this battle, you can join the army in our mansion!"

Li Jinxing was naturally very happy to be able to get the appreciation of the prince. However, others are tall and ambitious, and are the leader of the clan. He is unwilling to be a follower around the prince. He said: "Thank you for your appreciation. I am willing to follow the prince, but I am a rough person and I am more willing to lead troops in the army. Please don't blame me."

Li You was not unhappy. He admired such aspiring young man very much. He smiled and said, "Okay, when the war is over, come to me. If you have any wishes, I will satisfy you."

"Thank you, Prince." Li Jinxing said.

When Li You returned to the dormitory, the Magpie sent a telegram from Wang Xuance and Kumiko, the Matsubishi, which said that the Tang Dynasty Shigen would soon sign an agreement with the Japanese sub-country, and it seemed that there was no big problem for the Peaceful Departure. However, Matsubishi Ichiki was left in Fujiwara Kyo, which was a big trouble.
