In the past, the money was issued by Guo Gongzi, and it was never in arrears.

Becoming a soldier of the Shenji Battalion, the monthly salary has increased by fifty percent, but if it can't be paid in full and on time, it is better to work privately for Guo Gongzi as before.

Guo Wendong continued to perform, he said: "Someone told me that I don't need to give you such a high salary, one tael of silver a month is enough, and I don't have to worry about no one coming to be a soldier." ”

Yan Yingyuan, Zhang Huangyan, Chen Zilong, and Zheng Senhu became suspicious, what kind of medicine are sold in the gourd of the guerrilla generals?

Some of the soldiers are also starting to be depressed, and they won't really cut their salaries, right?

Liu Jifang, Chen Zhenlian, Li Zhique and other generals thought in their hearts, the general is so rich, will he use his personal money to make up for his military salary?

And Gu Yanwu knew very well that Guo Wendong would pay out of his own pocket to make up for the gap in military salaries, but he didn't take out the money directly, he deliberately said this first, this is a manifestation of wisdom, and it can also be seen as scheming.

Guo Wendong's eyes swept over the soldiers in the audience, and a few of them were uneasy.

He continued: "General Ben can do this, but I firmly refuse to do so. Whether you planted crops for me in the past, or now you are a soldier in the Shenji Battalion, I always love each and every one of you. As your commander, I must ensure that you have enough money to ensure that your family is fed and clothed, and if you die in battle, you must have enough pension for your family, so that you have no worries. ”

"General Ben has decided that in the future, if there is any deficiency in the military salary given by the imperial court, I will pay for it myself, and I will definitely let the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion receive the highest salary and use the best weapons and equipment."

Guo Wendong's voice reached everyone's ears, and everyone heard every word clearly.

One of the soldiers applauded first, and immediately someone applauded, and the audience burst into applause.

The soldiers in the audience were in high spirits and looked up to the guerrilla general, who was so considerate of the soldiers, deserves their followers and serves him.

The corners of Guo Wendong's mouth flashed with a satisfied smile, this is the result he hopes to see, to create a great and glorious image in the minds of his subordinates, so that his subordinates will be loyal to him.

Ten seconds later, he gestured, and the applause quickly stopped.

"You must train hard, strictly observe military discipline, absolutely obey commands, and if an enemy comes to attack, you must be able to win the battle. It is necessary to make the Shenji Battalion the strongest army in the world, invincible like the Yue family army and the Qi family army! ”

"Do you have faith?"

"There is ......"

Six thousand people shouted in unison, their voices resounding through the sky, and following such a master, they had an incomparably firm belief in their hearts.

Subsequently, it was the military salary.

A few boxes were opened, and they were silver with white flowers, and two boxes were copper coins.

If it is a small amount of one tael or two taels of silver, these are whole numbers, and if it is a small amount of one or two coins, you can choose to receive silver or copper coins.

Military pay is still paid by the supervisory team and distributed to everyone.

In the future, the army under Guo Wendong did not have any money in the hands of the officers, and it was directly distributed by the supervision team, and the officers did not dare to be corrupt, nor could they be corrupt.

Gu Yanwu, Song Yingxing, Song Yingsheng, Zhang Huangyan, Yan Yingyuan and others present all admired Guo Wendong, which was really a good means to effectively unite the morale of the army.

Last month, the monthly salary was still one or two silver, but this month it has increased by fifty percent, one person is a soldier, feeding the whole family, and there are many benefits, and the soldiers are happy.

Today, the military camp in the city has been built, and half of the soldiers will be divided into the Shenji battalion and stationed in the military camp in the city.

After having lunch here, Guo Wendong led 3,000 soldiers to march towards the city of Nanjing.

After the formation of the Shenji Battalion, it took out the stored weapons from the Nanjing armory and equipped the whole army, mainly the three traditional weapons of knives, spears, bows and arrows.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion lined up in a neat line, marched with majestic steps, and were full of energy, holding high the banner of the Shenji Battalion and the word "Guo".

Guo Wendong rode a tall horse and walked at the front of the team.

This was originally Ma Lanxin's mount, but it was a good horse, with both endurance and speed, since the establishment of the Shenji Battalion, Ma Lanxin gave the horse to her husband to use.

Yan Yingyuan, Zhang Huangyan, Gu Yanwu and others were also sitting on horses, following next to or behind Guo Wendong.

After a short time, the team came to Zhengyangmen.

"We are the Shenji Battalion, and this is the guerrilla general of the Shenji Battalion! Led the army into the military camp in the city. ”

After Liu Jifang shouted, the city guard did not dare to slack off, and politely greeted Guo Wendong and let him go.

Entering the Zhengyang Gate, the soldiers saw the majestic city walls and towers of the imperial city, which was the center of the Ming Dynasty, and those who were big officials were inside.

Looking at the guards guarding Hongwumen, compared with the two, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion are more powerful.

The team turns right and continues towards its destination.

There were many people along the way, witnessing this team, and there were many discussions.

"That handsome man on a white horse is the son-in-law of the cabinet chief!"

"That Guo Wendong, with his father-in-law, is of course a guerrilla general in Beijing. If the Qing soldiers really go south, can the Shenji Battalion in his charge stop the Qing soldiers? ”

"Don't underestimate Guo Wendong, I heard that since November last year, he has been training private soldiers, and the people in this Shenji Battalion are all private soldiers who have been training for several months."

"I passed by the south of Shenlie Mountain at the beginning of the year, and I saw them training from afar, and they had to run a long distance, and the soldiers were all very strong, and I thought they could really fight."

……………

People have different opinions.

"Fight against Jiannu, protect the family and defend the country! Fight against Jiannu and defend the country! ………”

At this time, the soldiers shouted slogans, and the voices of 3,000 people resounded throughout the city of Nanjing.

This is what Guo Wendong deliberately wants to do, so that the people of the capital can clearly know what kind of troops the Shenji Battalion is.

This is also a propaganda strategy, not only to create a great image of the individual, but also to create an image of a strong army, a protector of the country, and a guardian saint of the people for their own army.

More people were attracted, either on both sides of the street, or from the second floor with windows open to watch the army, and the leader of the army, Guo Wendong.

In the afternoon, the team arrived at its destination, and the soldiers entered in an orderly manner.

At the barracks training ground, the non-commissioned officers lined up again, made arrangements on the spot, allocated dormitories, and received daily necessities.

The dormitory is based on the unit of tithe, and a tithe of thirty-seven people lives in a dormitory, and there is a separate small room when it reaches the level of captain or above.

There is a large public bath for bathing, and there is a special hot water supply in winter.

The barracks are fully equipped, including training grounds, warehouses, canteens, dormitories, bathrooms, etc., and there are many latrines.

Of course, the military discipline of the Shenji Battalion is very strict.

Obedience to orders is the most basic thing, and it is strictly forbidden to defecate in the barracks, and it is strictly forbidden to encroach on the people after leaving the barracks, and those who violate military discipline will be given different punishments according to the different circumstances.
