Chapter 278 "Rewards and Punishments Clearly"

Chapter 278 "Rewards and Punishments Clearly"
It should be known that the military forces of the Tubo Tribe have repeatedly entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty and carried out massive killings and looting against the people of the Tang Dynasty. The young men of the Tang Dynasty in the Longyou region can be said to hate the Tubo Tribe to the bone.
However, the military and civilians of the Tang Dynasty, since the attack on the territory of Tubo, the Tang army has adhered to military regulations and not a single person dared to act rashly, disobey orders, or commit acts of aggression against the people of Tubo.
In the hearts of the kind-hearted people of the great Tang Dynasty, the people of Tuyuhun are innocent and no different from ordinary people.
They are also victims of war.
The ones who truly deserve punishment are the shameless nobles, the perpetrators, and the despicable kings.
This is also Li Shimin, as a monarch, his words and actions over the years have had a profound influence on his subjects and his army.
In fact, as a modern person, Luo Yunsheng can somewhat perceive the greatness of Li Shimin.
Not to mention these soldiers who lived in feudal society and respected the emperor.
These brave soldiers who fought in battles, facing wind and snow, have a clear understanding of the concept of enemies. On the battlefield, they will never let go of any Tuyuhun soldiers who still hold weapons and attempt to resist. However, once off the battlefield, they will never kill innocent Tuyuhun civilians who are unarmed.
This is the quality that an elite army should possess.
Looking at the army of the Turpan Region from this perspective, they are simply a group of disorganized individuals!
They don't even qualify to be called an army!
This kind of absoluteness can never become climate, nor can it create a great empire.
The greatness of an empire lies in its great mind, its great branches, and even the tiny part that serves as its blood.
This kind of accomplishment is the glory that exists in the blood of the Chinese people and is something that other races find difficult to learn.
Perhaps it was because Tuoba Muqi and Shuijing didn't care about them, the several loyal Tang soldiers in the room began to plead with Luo Yunsheng.
"Considering the wind, we all sincerely submit to you, our submission to the Great Tang! We, yes, we have long regarded ourselves as Tang people, so these Tuyuhun people are our enemies, don't you agree?"
How can there be such shameless people in this world?
Even Tuoba Muqi, who is also a Tuyuhun, showed extremely strong disgust towards them.
However, because it was his subordinates who violated the military regulations, he needed to avoid suspicion, so he didn't say anything.
But looking at the main person, Luo Yunsheng.
Luo Yunsheng's expression is indifferent. In his eyes, this group of trash is not worthy of being Chinese, let alone being Tuyuhun people!
Under the close attention of Tuoba Muqi, Luo Yunsheng pondered for a moment and sighed deeply, "You're right, I did say that."
All the surrendered Tuyuhun soldiers under my command are treated equally, but what I demand is soldiers, not bandits!"
After speaking.
He glanced at those despairing loyal Tang soldiers and said in a deep voice, "You have surrendered to me and helped the Great Tang capture this city, which is commendable, but what you have done today is despicable."
却不为本使所容忍。
The ambassador will not kill you for your merits and demerits, but you are no longer loyal soldiers of the Tang army.
Go, take your ill-gotten gains, leave this city and return to your homeland!
"Watch the wind!"
Luoyunsheng abruptly raised his hand and interrupted the pleading of the several loyal soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, saying coldly, "This is already my bottom line."
If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave."
What a clear reward and punishment system!
Tuoba Muqi, Shui Jing, and the rest of the loyal Tang soldiers in the house all listened with reverence upon hearing these words.
They were amazed at Luo Yunsheng's resolute attitude of not harming civilians.
Yi Dongrong was also moved by Luo Yunsheng's clear rewards and punishments, sparing these several Tuyuhun soldiers who were considered scrap in their eyes because of their merits.
"Get lost!"
Tuoba Muqi snarled, glaring and shouting fiercely.
A few loyal soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, or rather, the former soldiers of the Tuoba Tribe who have been expelled by the loyal Tang army, looked at Luo Yunsheng in horror, especially Tuoba Muqi, who had a face full of killing intent by his side, hurriedly left with their heads down and the plundered wealth they had obtained.
Glancing at the woman still sobbing with her head down on the tatami in the room, and then looking at the dead Tuyuhun man lying on the ground without closing his eyes, Luo Yunsheng sighed heavily and called out in a deep voice, "Tuoba Muqi."
“Here!”
"I hereby order in the name of the envoy that the loyal Tang soldiers be granted military pay."
"The amount will be comparable to that of the soldiers in the same frontier region, and when rewarding the entire army after the war, I will also provide corresponding rewards from the resources seized from prominent clans."
But.
From now on, the Zhongtang Army is forbidden from meaningless killing and looting. If I catch them doing so again, they will be beheaded without mercy!"
"Understood!"
Tuoba Muqi sighed in admiration and replied with a fist gesture.
"The well."
"I am here, my lord."
"Arrange the soldiers, this city will be taken over by the soldiers of Longyou."
"Any soldier who commits acts of killing, plundering, and robbery during this period will be removed from the loyal Tang army. Let them take their dirty deeds back to their hometown."
"Understood!"
Half an hour later, the 2,000 loyal soldiers who remained in the city learned of the latest order from Guanfeng Envoy Luo Yunsheng.
It cannot be denied that most of the people were pleased, after all, Luo Yunsheng decided to give them military pay, not to mention the amount being comparable to the soldiers from Longyou, not to mention the promise Luo Yunsheng made to reward them with a portion of the wealth confiscated from the Dashi clan after the war.
This greatly increase Luo Yunsheng's prestige among the loyal Tang army.
However, the later orders issued by Luo Yunsheng left most of the loyal Tang soldiers puzzled.
"What?
Killing and looting Tuyuhun people?
They say the soldiers of the Loyal Tang Army killed and looted the Tuoba people?
How is this possible?
It is important to note that the majority of the soldiers in the Loyal Tang Army are the Tuoba people. If they are Tuoba people, how could they commit such evil acts of humiliation, looting, and killing within the borders of the Tuoba kingdom?
However, the results of the investigation left most of the loyal soldiers of the Tang-Tubo forces stunned: it turned out that among the Tuyuhun people, there were indeed those damn traitors.
They could hardly accept it: the Tang people had never persecuted the people of their Tuyuhun country, but it was their own compatriots who, disregarding their loyalty to their homeland, committed such despicable and disgraceful acts.
This undoubtedly made their mood very complicated.
After this episode, the Tang army quickly took control of the entire city. At this time, the Baihai clan had already surrendered, and Luo Yunsheng did not kill them either. He only confiscated their supplies and gave them some travel expenses, ordering them to move to the Great Tang immediately.
And the rest, Luo Yunsheng ordered the Longyou soldiers who were driving the carriage to quickly load the carriages and transport them to Baigu City, waiting to be transported to the Tang Dynasty in the future.
As for the slaves and farmers of the Baihai clan, Luo Yunsheng announced the invalidation of the previous contracts and instructed these people to also move to the Tang Dynasty.
However, it cannot be denied that due to some disgraceful actions of a few loyal soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the Tuyuhun people in the city of Pengcheng do not trust this mixed army of Tuyuhun and Tang people.
Meanwhile, the military adviser had already captured another small city built by a famous king.
"What? Guanfeng has prepared to distribute military pay to our loyal Tang army?"
After the military adviser of Tuoba Muqi captured the new city and was preparing to continue heading east with his troops, he received the information transmitted from the rear.
It has to be said that this inexplicable preferential treatment made the military adviser feel a little puzzled until he asked about the course of events and then suddenly realized.
It turned out that Guanfengshi wanted to change the evil habit of the Tuyuhun people's indiscriminate killing and plundering after the war.
After realizing, the military advisor highly appreciated the punishment imposed by Luo Yunsheng on those loyal Tang soldiers who committed evil acts.
The military advisor, born into the aristocracy of the Tuyuhun older generation, also holds a distinct hierarchical mindset in his heart.
Therefore, to be honest, he doesn't really care how many Tuyuhun people were killed by the Tang army under Luo Yunsong's leadership in this march to Tuyuhun country, because the higher-ranking nobles, they care more about their own interests and their own families, and don't really care about the other Tuyuhun people.
However, it is undeniable that Luo Yunsheng and his Tang Army's cultivation surprised the military counselor.
He couldn't help but feel emotional that the reason why Tang Dynasty could become a powerful country today is inseparable from their cultivation.
What impressed the military advisor the most was Luo Yunsheng's clear methods of punishment for those loyal Tang soldiers who committed evil deeds.
It is believed that with this, the reputation of the Wind-Watching Officer within the loyal Tang army will surely be greatly enhanced.
The strategist secretly estimated.
And as it turned out, his guess was completely accurate.
When the soldiers of the loyal Tang army learned that the imperial envoy of Tang had decided to give the full pay to all the generals and officers of the loyal Tang army in order to prevent similar heinous acts as those of the Baihai clan from happening again, almost all the soldiers and officers of the loyal Tang army cheered.
In the country of Tuyuhun, the term military pay is extremely unfamiliar, not to mention the ordinary Tuyuhun soldiers, even the generals like Siman and Tuoba Muki have never received any military pay.
So how could they have ever received any military pay?
Which one is not to divide the wealth of the enemy city after capturing it?
From this point of view, Luo Yunsheng seems to have cut off the wealth of the loyal Tang army soldiers and generals, but the latter is not dissatisfied with this.
After all, Luo Yunshe also provided compensation: military salary and rewards after the war.
Under the temptation of these two benefits, the soldiers of the loyal Tang army decided to abandon their former bad habits.
After all, the city they are currently attacking is the territory of the Tuyuhun Kingdom. Are they going to follow the footsteps of those who have been expelled from the military?
In order to earn a little money, they plunder their own country's people, and then get expelled from the military by the just and fair Tang Guoguanfengshi?
Anyway, there is military pay, and there will be rewards after the war. With this money, it is enough to support my family. Why bother doing such shameful things?
Not to mention, nowadays, everyone in the loyal Tang Army is cursing those original loyal Tang soldiers who plundered and killed their own people.
Although they may have considered it, no one dared to voice any objections in the face of this prevailing trend.
"Please observe the direction of the wind.
We will definitely restrain our soldiers and ensure that similar incidents do not happen again. Please rest assured, Wind Observer."
"Alright, I will observe the wind and report back."
Tuoba Muqi sent a messenger to inform the strategist's subordinate, the loyal Tang Army's main force's messenger. After the strategist assured them, the messenger respectfully took leave and conveyed the strategist's reaction to Luo Yunsheng.
To be honest, Luo Yunsheng has great trust in the military adviser, after all, he is an ambitious and intelligent person. What he cares about is whether he and Tuoba Muqi can establish a stable position in Tang Guo with Luo Yunsheng's support, preferably by infiltrating the military of the Great Tang Empire and gaining some military power. Otherwise.
How could he not spare any effort to attack those famous kings for Luo Yunsheng, without taking any wealth opportunities from the city himself?
