Chapter 18: Reward
The snow in the twenty-sixth year of the Han Yuan Dynasty came exceptionally early, three days had passed since the battle of the fort, and the blood outside the fort had been covered with snow.
The burghers who gathered in the square in front of the council hall early, standing quietly in the first snow of this early winter, were also thinly clothed burghers, surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and when they saw Liu Feng, who had been captured hugely, they said that they would reward the fort keepers and the townspeople who guarded the fort together three days later. Today, everyone gathered together and waited for the announcement of the reward.
Looking at the front of the council hall, the silver taels, grain, cloth, horses, etc. that had been prepared long ago. Although the villagers of Baoding were cold and their hands were blue, they could not hide their excitement, discussing with each other, cheering, and excited, so much grain and cloth would mean that this winter would not be worried about food and clothing.
Liu Feng stood on the steps in front of the hall, and secretly sighed, if he was attacked by bandits in the fort three days ago, then it was those bandits who were celebrating here at this moment, and he couldn't help but feel a palpitation in his heart. In this chaotic era, if you want to live well, you have to have more powerful power, and only strong power will make people dare not think about you.
After the discussion of Liu Feng and Liu Yunfu and others, it was decided to build another ancestral hall in front of the Liu family ancestral hall, called the Heroes Ancestral Hall, and put the ashes of all the people who sacrificed for Liu Jiabao into the ancestral hall, and the people of the fort were worshiped for generations.
At the same time, he gave each deceased fort a pension of 30 taels of silver, 5 stones of grain, and half a horse of cloth, and reiterated that as long as Liu Jiabao was still there, the family of the deceased could receive a tael of silver every month, and five buckets of grain for ten years.
When Liu Yandong impassionedly announced this reward for Liu Feng.
"The castle lord is mighty!" I don't know who raised their arms and shouted, and immediately responded in groups.
Originally, Liu Yandong and Bai Naren had some slight words about Liu Feng's reward for the loser, they thought that every burger and villager who died in the battle was their own servant, and it would be enough to reward some gold and silver, but they couldn't stand Liu Feng's insistence on reluctantly agreeing. But today, when I saw the people of Fortin Castle returning to their hearts and acknowledging Liu Feng, the owner of the castle, Bai Naren was also sincerely happy for his son.
In this bloody battle, the ambushed archers and the pursuing cavalry team had the most abundant achievements, but Liu Feng believed that the first merit should be the pikes guarding the south gate with him, not because the pikes fought with him, but the pikes who guarded the south gate with him suffered the most casualties, more than half, and the battle was the most intense.
Therefore, Liu Feng decided to reward the second spear team, that is, the fort who guarded the south gate with him, ten taels of silver and two stones of grain, and Liu Yanbo as the captain of the team rewarded five taels more. This was followed by the archers, the riders, and the pikemen of the east and west fort walls, each with five taels of silver and one stone, and each captain with five taels of silver.
The third is to help the people of the fort and the townspeople of the outer fort, they are also the most loss, Liu Feng agrees that the people of the outer fort are willing to stay in Liujiabao, he will give all the arrangements, and the fort will give priority to them when training the forts, and the rewards will be the same as the second batch of forts.
When Liu Yandong announced all the rewards, everyone who received the rewards was very happy, and the burgers who had participated in the battle also inquired about when the fort would train the burghers.
In the evening, outside the chamber of Liujiabao, a large cauldron was set up, and the pigs and sheep that had already been slaughtered were stewed in the pot. The fragrance wafting everywhere, the joy of victory and the noisy sound of victory, have been wafting out of Liujiabao.
In the inner hall of Liujiabao, the atmosphere is also very lively, when the dishes are full, everyone inside and outside the hall is waiting for Liu Feng to come to the banquet.
Today's Liu Feng was in extraordinary spirits, holding a wine glass and standing on the steps in front of the conference hall.
"This first glass of wine, we pay tribute to those dead burghers, not their desperate battles, maybe it is not us who celebrates today." Liu Feng's voice was a little heavy, and everyone stood up and raised their glasses, and slowly poured the wine on the ground.
"This second glass of wine, I salute the heroes of Liujiabao who are sitting here, because of your concerted efforts, we can hold on to Liujiabao!" Liu Feng raised his glass boldly and drank it all, and everyone drank it in unison.
"This third glass of wine celebrates that we have defended Liujiabao and did not let the yellow fan succeed." Liu Feng drank it all again.
"It's time to eat! Have a good time, everyone! Liu Feng simply said that the inside and outside of the hall were lively.
Liu Feng deliberately set aside the burgers on duty, and he had already prepared enough meat to send to them, but there was not so much wine, although the yellow fan was repulsed, but he still had thousands of people, so Liu Feng never relaxed his vigilance, especially for the burgers on duty at night, his requirements were particularly strict.
After the staggering in the hall, everyone was a little drunk, and Liu Feng was also a little drunk, he toasted just now, and when he drank the second glass, he found that he had a feeling of being overwhelmed, how could he be more than a pound in his previous life, how could he be a little dizzy in two cups in this life, and he himself smiled bitterly.
Liu Feng saw that everyone had almost eaten, so he asked people to remove the banquet and replace it with hot tea, and everyone in the room knew that it was not the time to celebrate.
Liu Feng calmly walked to the center of the hall, calmly swept everyone in the hall with his slightly drunk eyes, after all kinds of things, Liu Feng gradually established WeChat in the castle, and everyone became more and more convinced of him.
He didn't completely rectify the situation in the fort before, also because he didn't have enough prestige to overthrow everything at once, but he was also glad that the forts who had not undergone thorough training finally held Liujiabao.
After this battle, the number of people in the fort has also increased, and a lot of weapons have been captured, plus it is already winter, and the bandits will not come to Liujiabao for a while, which just gives Liu Feng enough time.
"Thank you, uncles and brothers for helping me defend Liujiabao!" Liu Feng gave everyone a bow.
"When my father died, I also became our Liujiabao family for more than a month, and now my mother has also returned, and in addition, the fort has changed too much recently, so I want to reorganize the burgers in the fort and the personnel everywhere." Liu Feng signaled to his mother and others respectively, which was also discussed by Liu Feng, Liu Yandong and others, and it was only announced to everyone tonight.
"Uze, you are allowed to build a team of 100 riders, and give priority to the burghers in the fort who can ride horses." Uze bowed overjoyed and said yes, which was also his long-cherished wish.
"Liu Hu, allow you to expand the pikes to five hundred people."
"Liu Yanbo, allow you to expand the archer team to 100 people."
"Bayar, the president of the Burgins!"
The crowd bowed and said yes.
