Chapter 421, Silver

In the camp where the vanguard battalion of the Eastern Road Army was stationed, many soldiers talked and laughed with each other, boasting to each other about how brave they were in battle, how many Tartars they killed, and how many rewards they could get.

At the same time, everyone is also waiting patiently, waiting for the silver reward from the prince's side, and if the silver is not in hand, everyone will not disperse.

Of course, the upper authorities did not order everyone to return to their original places, but waited here, waiting for the arrival of the prince.

The news has been released from above, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will personally come over to reward everyone for meritorious deeds, one hundred taels of silver per person, there will definitely be no one tael, and the soldiers who died in battle, the bereavement pension of two hundred taels of silver per person will also be sent down.

And in order to ensure that the money can be distributed to the families of the fallen soldiers, the prince has also ordered to pick up the relatives of the families of the fallen soldiers.

"This battle was fought so fast, I only got two heads and it was over."

Wang Daniu looked at a few fellow villagers around him and said with a smile on his face.

In this war, he fought three battles from beginning to end, the ambush battle at Hukou Pass, the battle to attack Hukou Pass, and the final war to encircle and suppress the headquarters of the little prince.

In three battles, he got a total of four heads, and he could get a reward of four hundred taels of silver, the key is that after these battles, he didn't have any, and he could enjoy the reward of four hundred taels of silver, unlike some people, although they grabbed the head, but in the end they died on the battlefield, even if they had a silver reward, they couldn't enjoy it.

"Brother Da Niu, you are still powerful, you have caught four heads, and I only have one head."

The scholar on the side said with some envy, Wang Da Niu is tall and strong, he has a great advantage in the war, and it is easier to kill the Tartars, he is different, his body is thin and weak, and he can only rely on the use of quicklime Yin people, and finally grab a human head.

"You still have a human head, I didn't get a human head, I don't have the face to go home to see people."

Next to the scholar, a person said with red eyes.

"Coward, who told you to be afraid of death, when we rushed to the front, you didn't dare to go up behind, for fear of death, you didn't deserve to grab someone's head."

Chen Haozi looked at this person and couldn't help but despise him, this person was greedy for life and afraid of death, everyone rushed forward with red eyes, he was good, he didn't dare to rush forward, and in the end he survived alive, but there was no head.

"Isn't my intestines all repentant, I was very scared at first, but I also rushed forward in the back, who knows, how these tartars are not beaten, and they are gone in three or two strokes."

The coward said helplessly, his natal name is Sun Liu, and he has always been a timid and afraid person.

"I said a long time ago, this is a rare opportunity to make a fortune in a lifetime, you must take advantage of it, if you don't listen, you are as timid as a mouse, now you can only watch everyone live a good life with silver."

Wang Daniu smiled and said.

"The Tartars are actually nothing remarkable, and those Tartars will be just as scared when they see our fierce appearance, and I don't know if there will be a chance to fight the Tartars next time."

Li Fugui nodded and said, he is a little reluctant to go back now, he is serving here with delicious food and drink, killing tartars and taking silver, after going back, he will be a peasant, facing the loess with his back to the sky, and he will be oppressed and exploited by those hundreds and thousands of households every day.

"Don't worry, there's definitely a chance."

Wang Daniu thought for a while and said.

"When do you say our money will be paid?"

"It's been a few days, why hasn't the silver come down yet?"

Chen Haozi thought about it and said with some concern, this silver is not put in his pocket, it is always unsteady, which makes people feel uneasy, and he always feels that it will be fooling them.

"Don't worry, who is the prince, how can he lose your hundreds of taels of silver, not to mention, these 200,000 troops are here, if there is really less of our silver, do you think everyone will agree?"

When Wang Da Niu said this, his voice was very low, and he also looked around, for fear of being known.

"Hmm~Hmm~"

At this moment, a trumpet sounded in the barracks.

"Silver, silver~"

At the same time, there were voices one after another, and the people who heard this sound suddenly walked towards the playground at a speed of 100 meters as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Go, go, send silver~"

When Wang Daniu heard this, he was immediately excited, and immediately hurried to the playground, and the others were not to be outdone, and quickly followed.

"Wow~Oh my God, it's all silver~"

As soon as they came to the playground, Wang Daniu and the others heard an exclamation.

It turned out that at this time, the top of the platform was full of boxes of silver, white silver, silver shining, under the sunlight, reflecting the intoxicating light.

For these border soldiers and military households, this is definitely the first time they have seen so much silver stacked together, of course, not only them, for the absolute majority of people, it is the first time they have seen so much silver stacked together.

"A lot of silver~"

Wang Daniu's eyes were straight, and his mind was full of silver, all of which were shining silver.

"Be quiet~"

The entire barracks soon arrived, and everyone stood in line according to the position they had held during the exercise, quietly waiting for the reward meeting to begin.

The crowd didn't wait long, and an official in a red robe came to the platform.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in Xia Wang Hua, is an official of the East Palace Prince's Mansion, and today I have come to the vanguard camp of the East Road Army to distribute bounties and rewards on the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince."

Wang Hua's voice was very loud, the playground was very quiet, and his words were clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

"I have verified all the Tartar heads captured by the pioneer battalion of the Eastern Road Army, the total number is 6,786, and the total number of dead soldiers in the pioneer battalion is 7,532."

"All the data is verified and the reward will be granted."

When he said this, Wang Hua's voice became very serious, the fallen soldiers are counted by corpses, and every fallen soldier must have a strict proof of origin, and at the same time, he must also be a person on the roster, and he must also have someone from the same village, the same township, and the same guard to correct and guarantee.

As for the capture of the enemy's head, it must also be strictly verified to prevent someone from killing good people and taking risks, and once such a thing happens, it will definitely be a big deal.

From the generals of the vanguard battalion to Liu Yu, the commander of the Eastern Route Army, they will all be implicated in this, and in terms of military merits, the strictest policy has always been implemented.

Even if someone kills the enemy on the battlefield and dies in the end, the head that belongs to him will not dare to snatch it, otherwise once it is known, it will be directly dealt with by military law.

Don't dare to go forward and kill the enemy, but rob the credit of the fallen soldiers, once this thing spreads, no one can save you, and everyone will deeply despise you.

No one on the battlefield dared to say that they could have the last laugh, and if their own credit was snatched, anyone would be extremely angry.

So in this matter, Zhu Houzhao also listened to Liu Jin and Wang Hua's suggestions, and issued the strictest orders from the beginning.

"Now we will start to distribute rewards, please come to the stage to receive your rewards if you read your name, if it is a fallen soldier, please ask the family members of the fallen soldiers to come up and receive rewards and pensions."

"Here, I would also like to reiterate that no one can think about the rewards and pensions of all soldiers, and if anyone dares to touch the rewards and pensions of soldiers, you can directly give us feedback, and we will deal with it most seriously."

When Wang Hua finished saying this, he looked at these generals in the pioneer camp, thousands of households, hundreds of households, and the like, and he knew that many of these generals, thousands of households, and hundreds of households were masters who ate people and did not spit out bones, and this was said to them.

It is not uncommon for soldiers to make up their minds about the bereavement and reward of soldiers, whether it is in ancient times or in later generations, such things happen from time to time.

Hearing Wang Hua's words, many generals, thousands of households, and hundreds of households couldn't help but feel a slight chill in their necks, and they could obviously feel the murderous aura contained in it.

Although the crown prince is not yet the emperor, it is only a matter of one sentence to kill some people, not to mention that in this matter, countless pairs of eyes are watching from top to bottom of the entire Ming Dynasty.

These silvers are also donated by countless people in the Ming Dynasty, and they are used to distribute soldiers and pensions to the soldiers.

"Now we will start to distribute advent and bereavement pensions, please come to the stage when you read your name, first check the number, and if there is no problem with the number, sign and draw a pledge to receive a reward or bereavement pension."

Wang Hua looked around, did not delay any longer, and began to distribute rewards.

"Yang Yun, 21 enemies were killed in the first battle of Hukou Pass, 39 enemies were killed in the first battle of the encirclement and suppression of the little prince's headquarters, and the enemy chieftain was beheaded, and a total of 106,000 taels of silver should be awarded."

The first name Wang Hua pronounced out was Yang Yun, and now he has been named the Marquis of Broken Capture by Emperor Hongzhi, of course, this time it has nothing to do with the title, Wang Hua is directly responsible for distributing the reward.

"Wow~ Kill sixty enemies, and also behead the Tartar head, this person is too fierce~"

"Directly reward 106,000 taels of silver, how much silver, can he take it?"

"Is this still human? I fought hard to grab a head, and he actually killed sixty Tartars, which is really fierce~"

As Wang Hua's voice fell, an exclamation instantly sounded in the audience, Yang Yun was too fierce, one person beheaded sixty people, and killed the head of the Tartars, it was simply a god and a man, beyond imagination, it was amazing, and people couldn't help but be envious and jealous.

Yang Yun slowly walked up to the platform, his face was filled with a smile that could not be concealed, just in the first battle, he not only got an iron rice bowl and was named a marquis, but also a reward of more than 100,000 taels of silver, which can be said to have completely realized the turnaround of salted fish.

"Yang Hou, this number is not wrong."

Wang Hua looked at Yang Yun in front of him, a good tiger general, even if he is tall and big, the key is that this person is like Zhao Yun, not only will he be a fierce general, but he is also very handsome.

The holy decree of enshrined Yang Yun as the Emperor of Destruction had already arrived here, so Wang Hua also called him Yang Hou.

"There's nothing wrong ~"

Yang Yun nodded with a smile and said, he knew exactly how many enemies he had killed.

"Well, this is a silver ticket issued by the First Bank of Daming, a total of 102,600 taels, please click on it."

Wang Hua nodded, and then someone dragged a red plate over, which was filled with stacks of silver tickets from the First Bank of Daming.

This reward of 106,000 taels of silver is definitely impossible to say to the silver, because it is too heavy to take it away at all, so the large reward is all given to the silver ticket.

The first bank of Daming is now also has opened branches in the major cities of the three major cities of the three provinces of Daming, the first bank's silver bills and silver dollars because of the exquisite printing, coupled with a good reputation, strong strength, the publicity of the Ming Morning Post, and now it has been slowly opened up and down in the Ming Dynasty.

Although Yang Yun had never seen silver tickets before, he had already known that silver tickets would be issued in terms of large rewards this time, so he also recruited people in advance to find out.

Knowing the strong strength of the First Bank of Daming, as long as you take the silver ticket to the past, you can get the silver, absolutely rest assured, and even the silver is deposited in the First Bank of Daming and has interest.

So he looked at the silver tickets carefully, all of them were silver tickets of one hundred taels of silver, one bundle was ten thousand taels of silver, a whole ten bundles, plus six thousand taels of silver loose tickets.

"There's nothing wrong ~"

After Yang Yun finished ordering, he also put his silver ticket into his arms.

"Silver ticket?"

"Daming First Bank?"

Many people have heard of the silver ticket for the first time, and it is also the first time to see the silver ticket, I heard that the first bank of Daming, seeing Yang Yun holding a stack of silver tickets, they were dumbfounded, these silver tickets can be exchanged for 102,600 taels of silver?

"Xie Lei, five enemies were killed in the first battle of Hukou Pass, and eight enemies were killed in the first battle of the little prince's headquarters, a total of thirteen people, and the reward was 1,300 taels of silver."

Wang Hua and Yang Yun nodded, and then began to read out a name according to the roster.

"Wow, it's another fierce man, beheading thirteen, he seems to have been promoted to a thousand households, this is another reward of 1,300 silver, tsk, promoted to make a fortune~"

"But it's not, this person I know, when I kill the Tartar, I can't be fierce, I was hit by a few arrows on my body as if it was nothing, I rampage through the Tartar, and the whole body of the killer is covered with snow, and I am definitely a fierce man."

"Amazing, 1,300 taels of silver~"

Soon a strong man who was also tall and muscular walked up to the platform, and this time he did not issue a silver ticket, but directly issued a silver dollar.

One silver dollar after another, a hundred silver dollars, and thirteen silver dollars, that is, one thousand three hundred taels of silver.

After all, there are still very few people who can kill enemies to the level of Yang Yun, most of them actually only have a few heads, and there are very few people like Xie Lei, who can kill thirteen enemies, which is also very powerful.

“……”

As the names continue to be pronounced, a person continues to come to the stage to receive their own rewards, and those who go up in front are more enemies, and those who go to the back are basically beheaded a few.

Wang Daniu watched a person around him continue to come to the stage to receive the award, but he never heard his name, and the whole person seemed a little anxious.

"Wang Da Niu~"

Finally, when Wang Daniu's name sounded, his whole person was like being beaten with chicken blood, and he quickly came out of the ranks, and then came to the top of the platform.

At this time, Wang Huanian's voice was already a little hoarse, and he took a sip of tea, and then took the roster and asked: "In the first battle of Hukou Pass, beheaded two people, surrounded and suppressed the little prince's headquarters, beheaded two people, a total of four people, and rewarded four hundred taels of silver, is there a mistake?" ”

"No~"

Wang Daniu smiled and shook his head and said.

"That's good~Reward~"

Wang Hua nodded and motioned to the people around him, and soon, the four silver dollars were held up on a red tray.

Wang Daniu picked up the four silver dollars with some trembling, and the whole person was extremely excited.

Four hundred taels of silver!

It's just something he never dreamed of before.

With this money, marrying a daughter-in-law is not a problem at all, building a house can build a large courtyard with three entrances, and you can also buy a large piece of good land, and from then on live the life of a landlord, and it is nothing more than salted fish turning over.

"Da Ming is mighty!"

After getting the silver, he stuffed the heavy four silver dollars into his arms, and his clothes were about to sink, it was too heavy, he couldn't help but touch these silver dollars, and shouted out to the people below.

These are his words from the heart.

In the past, he was a dilapidated military family, born in a military household, destined to be very dilapidated, he was the eldest in the family, he was already twenty-two, but he still couldn't get a wife.

Without it, no one wants to marry this broken military household, asking for money but no money, no food, no land, the key is that the children born here have been broken military families for generations.

He has always hated the identity of a military household, and it is precisely because of the identity of this military household that they have always endured the exploitation and oppression of hundreds and thousands of households above.

It is also because of this status that they not only did not enjoy any benefits of being a military household, but suffered too many difficulties because of it.

He hated the identity of the military household and the system.

But now, he was glad that he was a military household, because he was a military household, and he had the opportunity to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, so he had the four hundred silver dollars in his arms.

With this money, anything can be done.

This is also the reason why he shouted out the majesty of Daming, because at this moment, he suddenly had a sense of identity with the identity of the military household and this Daming, and even faintly had a sense of pride.

"Daming is mighty~"

Hearing Wang Daniu's words, the people below who had already received the silver also shouted one after another, and then the other people also shouted together, the voice was very loud, very neat, and they were all shouts from the heart.

"Da Ming is mighty!"
