No one knows that since the establishment of the Zhenbei Army, from the former Dakang Dynasty to the current Daning Dynasty, it has been the army with the highest casualty rate.

Once guarding the north, they faced the most ferocious barbarians... But such a heroic army was persecuted by Emperor Long Jing, and a hundred thousand heroic souls remained in the wilderness forever.

After that, it was difficult for the Zhenbei Army to maintain its full strength of 300,000. Before the war, it was only close to 200,000.

No matter how difficult it is, military expenses will always be set aside. But now, it is difficult to maintain full strength. This is not because the country cannot afford it, but because it is too difficult to train elite cavalry.

The newly recruited cavalry are only reserve forces and must undergo rigorous training before they can join.

After this battle, it is estimated that the casualties of the Zhenbei Army have reached nearly 70,000. So far, there are only more than 100,000 left. If the retired soldiers are excluded, the number of people who can fight is at most 100,000.

The Zhenbei Army, which boasts 300,000 soldiers, can never return to its peak.

Guan Ning was heartbroken.

But the Zhenbei Army never complained and went forward one after another. The direction of the charge was where his blade pointed...

Again, show your respects.

Guan Ning continued to move forward, and there was an expeditionary army arranged in square formations, which was also the original border guard army.

Their numbers are not conspicuous and can be said to be arbitrary, but they fully demonstrate their responsibilities.

Guard the border in peace and conquer in war.

At the beginning of the new dynasty, Guan Ning integrated the rebel army, local army and Daning army of the former dynasty to form a border guard army, which was further divided into the first army and the second army.

At that time, the two kingdoms of Wei and Liang were eager to annex Daning. They guarded the border and defended the country, and they were the main force in every war!

Their achievements are indelible and they are a heroic army!

"war!"

When Guan Ning passed by, the commander of the army shouted loudly.

"war!"

Then all the soldiers shouted in unison, the sound shook the sky. This was a review, not a martial arts performance, but it could also be seen that the spirit was broken, and it was really a fierce soldier of Daning.

The expeditionary army is all infantry, to be precise, mixed infantry, including archers, swordsmen, spearmen, shield soldiers, chariot battalions, equipment battalions, etc., and multiple arms are used in combat.

Guan Ning read the instructions one by one.

But when he reached the last phalanx, he suddenly stopped!

They are all disabled soldiers!

On the battlefield, there will be a lot of casualties. Some people are seriously injured and cannot be cured, and some people are disabled due to their injuries.

The limbs are incomplete, the eyes are damaged and the ears are missing.

These people have lost the ability to fight and even the ability to take care of themselves.

But they still stood proudly, heads held high, and they seemed not to be disabled, just like before.

Guan Ning understood.

It is their spirit and their everlasting military soul!

As the king of a country, few things can make Guan Ning moved, but now his eyes are red.

He suddenly remembered a saying: Those who work for others should not be allowed to die in the wind and snow.

These disabled soldiers and retired soldiers.

What can they do after leaving the army?

They are already disabled, and many of them cannot even take care of themselves, so what can they do?

The country cannot ignore them!

He made a decision.

In a complicated mood, this review ended.

The army dispersed in an orderly manner and returned to camp. Accompanied by the generals, Guan Ning entered Suiyuan City...

Queen Yongning and the others did not show up. Such a solemn occasion was not suitable for them.

They are preparing a big surprise for the soldiers.

Guan Ning has dismounted.

Hao Cang accompanied him and introduced the details of the affairs here.

"Suiyuan City is the capital of Liaoqing Province and the largest city. There are about 300,000 Liang people living in it..."

"This is still affected by the war, and there are many people who migrated and exiled... There is a river called Zimu River in the east of the city, which nourishes the oases on both sides. When our army moved in, we began to arrange farming. By this year, there should be a harvest in the autumn fields.

."

Guan Ning nodded.

Among the military supplies shipped last year, there were many seeds, and he already knew that the army was stationed here.

This has been developed over the years.

In the past, the border guards were stationed in Huaiyuan and Huaizhou, both of which had farms, which also eased the pressure on the imperial court.

It has become a habit of Hao Cang to plant land wherever the war is fought. The generals in the army are both civil and military. They are not only good at fighting, but also good at farming.

In the army, there are full-time fieldmen who guide farming.

Hao Cang also creatively implemented in the army the distribution of fields to people, fields to camps, and division of ownership...

It was precisely because of the farming that the military supply pressure on the imperial court could be greatly relieved.

Listening to Hao Cang's detailed explanation, Guan Ning smiled and said, "It's not easy for you either. The commanders-in-chief of the two armies are also in charge of government affairs..."

He was very satisfied with Hao Cang, who was meticulous in both military and political affairs.

"Share your Majesty's worries!"

The sergeants stood on both sides to greet him, and the Liang people on the periphery also looked around eagerly. It could be seen that they were very casual and did not look afraid.

"The military and civilians get along very harmoniously."

Guan Ning said: "I heard that Zhu Zhen was trying to take advantage of people's hearts. He imitated me, Daning, in reading people, and described me as a murderous butcher. He also said that wherever Daning's army went, not even a blade of grass grew...

…”

"Facts speak louder than words."

Hao Cang said solemnly: "Our Daning army strictly observes military discipline and does not disturb the people, invade the people, or rob the people. At the same time, it also provides military supplies to help the refugees and rescue the refugees. These righteous deeds are obvious to everyone!"

"Maybe it's like that in other areas of Liang State, but it's definitely not like that in the areas captured by our army."

Guan Ning cannot deny it.

He then asked: "Is there any opposition in the army if we do good deeds and help the people of Liang?"
