On the fifth day of the recapture of Solburg, the purging of the remnants of the enemy and the arrangement of defenses in the city were basically over.

The siege lasted for months and hundreds of casualties, in order to distribute the battle in the city after the capture of the city.

Thanks to the abundant treasury of the Duchy of Lombardy, there are mountains of grain, grass, baggage, weapons and armor in Thorbard, as for gold, silver, treasures and valuable goods, there is no shortage of gold, silver and valuables, after all, the Lombards invaded the borders of other countries, and they must have done a lot of things to plunder the wealth, so although a large amount of wealth has been transported back to the south by the Lombards, there is still a huge amount of inventory left here.

The weather is still cold, but the hearts of the entire Eastern Legion are extremely warm, and the atmosphere in the hall of the Lord of Solburg is also extremely intense.

The adjutant of the regiment was holding a list of the loot seized in the Solburg to inform all the officers above the rank of flag captain in the hall who participated in the military meeting, "Ladies and gentlemen, after several days of searching and counting, the loot seized in the Solburg has basically been registered. This battle is too big, according to the rules we must hand over a third of the share to the court of the Count of Burgundy, we have no way to disobey this, after all, all the food and salary of all the legions are paid by the Besançon court, and the legion chief has already submitted this batch of spoils to the Besançon court together with your military exploits, and it will not be long before the court will send people south to inspect the military merits and bring the spoils, so don't make up your mind about this part. ”

As the "employer" of the entire Eastern Legion, the court of the Count of Burgundy will take one-third of the spoils, which is a clause written into the employment contract, and this time the booty is too rich, not a trivial matter of three or two thousand pfennigs, so everyone does not dare to mention the concealment.

Before, Art led an outpost to attack the farmstead north of Solburg and handed over the spoils, and the reason was the same.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, the adjutant of the legion continued: "After handing over the share of the Besançon court, the Eastern Legion will withhold one-fifth of the remaining war gains as daily additional military expenses, which will be mainly used to purchase additional food and vegetables and supplement the lack of food and salary for the palace."

The Eastern Legion traveled thousands of miles south, Besançon certainly could not fully guarantee the supply of food and salary for the Legion, and the Legion often had to buy it on its own, plus the occasional celebration banquet, rewarding soldiers, and purchasing some urgently needed war materials that could not be transported from the North, etc., this money was paid by the Legion in advance, so the Eastern Legion would take a fifth share of the spoils.

No one can control whose money bag this fifth share finally goes to, it is estimated that Viscount Geoffrey and several barons take the lion's share, but people are high-ranking nobles and should take more and occupy more, and everyone has expressed their approval.

The adjutant glanced back at Viscount Geoffrey, who was sitting on the throne, and Geoffrey nodded.

The adjutant cleared his throat and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, pay attention, the next distribution of loot needs to be discussed by everyone."

Everyone in the hall pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

"The people who participated in the military meeting today are all middle- and high-ranking officers above the captain of the regimental flag, and they are all meritorious people who have recaptured Thorburg, so your group of officers will distribute one-fifth of the spoils."

As more than a dozen corps commanders who participated in the battle to regain Thorburg, these people enjoyed the right to give priority to the spoils of war and distribute them highly, which was also the source of motivation for the officers to be willing to fight to the death with the legions, and the money was purely the income of the officers.

However, the officers stationed in the other castle fortresses did not have this preferential allocation, and whether they could get a piece of the Solburg pie in the end depended on whether the Legion Commander was generous enough.

"After the officers' share is distributed, all the remaining spoils will be distributed to each company and the outposts, cavalry, crossbows, and baggage teams under the command of the Chinese army according to the size of their military merits, and the commanders will distribute them to their junior officers and soldiers."

"Okay, let's go one by one, first of all, how to distribute the fifth to the officers......

A legionary clerk handed a stack of books to the adjutant of the legion, and the adjutant took it and opened the parchment book, and said: "Here is a record of all the military exploits presented to the court of Besançon since the Eastern Legion entered Provence, and the names of many of you are in this book, according to the meaning of the corps commander, we will take the merits of killing the enemy in the book as the main basis for distributing the spoils, and then we will consider the size of your role on the battlefield, the damage of soldiers' weapons, military discipline, and many other factors. Finally, a share of the loot is determined. The same can be done with the determination of the shares of each company and flag team. ”

As he spoke, the adjutant of the regiment began to list the exploits of killing the enemy and other outstanding deeds recorded in the book.

The officers in the hall also listened carefully, for fear that their own military exploits would be credited to others.

"No, the deputy commander of the legion, why is it that in all the sieges of the city, the people of the first company are always the first to attack? Although our third company did not participate in the siege of the city, two of my company's flag corps were folded under the northern city, and my flag captain, Sir David, is still recuperating in the camp tent, and dozens of elite soldiers have also died in the northern city. If dozens of warriors who were burned by the flames could not get back a fair military merit, then who would want to fight desperately for the legion in the future! "The commander of the 3rd Company had arrived from a fortress on the west side, and although he had not personally participated in the reconquest of Thollburg, the two banners under his command had been submerged under the outer walls of the northern city, so he had to fight for it.

Seeing that the company commander of the third company came out to stand up for the soldiers under his command, the captain of the fourth company also stood up and asked: "Adjutant, if you talk about the military merits of recovering Solburg, I'm afraid you can't just count the guys who participated in the recovery of Solburg, right?" Think about it, if we hadn't held a few fortresses and pinned down the Lombard reinforcements, would you have been able to attack Solburg with peace of mind? I think our army that held the three castle forts deserved a share of the spoils as well. Moreover, our fourth company also sent soldiers to participate in the siege battle, and they deserved to enjoy the spoils of war. ”

The captains of several companies holding the fortress of the castle and the captains of the banners who participated in the siege also stood up and shouted for a division of the spoils.

"The legion commander you are talking about will think about it, and you will think about it!" The adjutant of the regiment spoke out to calm the officers stationed in several other places.

"Let's continue to talk about the military merit book......

The adjutant of the regiment continued to hold up a booklet and mutter.

When it was time to list Art, Art heard the adjutant read: "Kill 63 enemies by the rebels and bandits of the South Road of Kitsby, break through the outpost of the waiting station outside Solburg and kill 46 enemies, capture one Lombard baron and three knights, kill 6 enemies on the periphery of Solburg, sacrifice and burn the firewood of the enemy army in Solburg, and kill 28 enemies in the first battle of Xicheng." ”

The above is a record of the military exploits of Yate and the outpost, which is basically in line with the facts, and Yate did not take into account the error of three or five enemy heads.

"However, Sir Art, you have already obtained valuable booty in the battle to clear the rebels and the waiting post outside Solburg, so those two military exploits will not be used as the basis for distributing the spoils of Solburg." The adjutant of the regiment poured a scoop of cold water.

Arteco didn't agree, if he could enter Solburg in advance to hide some of the gold and silver treasures, he could be a gentleman, the problem was that when the Eastern Legion entered the city, he was still chasing the remnants of the enemy with the cavalry, if it was without the support of those two military exploits, the share he could get from Solburg would be much less, and this also involved the share that was later allocated to the outpost.

"Lieutenant Commander of the Legion, it's chilling for you to say that. Without an outpost to clear out the rebel bandits, would the legion be able to move south to Aosta? If there were no outposts desperately taking the outposts on the outlets, would the army be able to besiege Fort Thor? Since the outpost entered Provence, in which battle did not lose a large number of soldiers? There are no outposts, and now the legion is still wintering in Kitsby!! When gnawing stones and nails, the outpost has to move forward bravely, and when eating meat and drinking soup, you have to fall behind, then there is such a thing!! "When this kind of wolf divides the meat, Art will not talk about humility with the chief.

Seeing Art's sudden anger, the adjutant of the legion hurriedly relieved, "Sir Art, why are you still in a hurry? You alone took all the spoils of war in the battle to eliminate the rebel bandits, right? The Legion hasn't been able to get much out of you after the battle at the outpost outside of Fort Thor, right? You've got a lot~"

When Art heard this, he became even more angry, and he didn't say much to the adjutant of the legion at all, and walked directly to Viscount Geoffrey and asked: "Legion Chief, the battle to eliminate the rebel bandits was not at all willing to go at that time, and all the spoils you said belonged to me, you have to admit this, right?" Besides, how much loot can a group of miscellaneous bandits have? The materials captured that time were not enough for the outpost to be damaged. ”

"After the breach of the Houtai outpost north of Solburg, I sent most of the booty to the legion, including the captured Lombard barons and knights, which were worth 100,000 pfennig!! And I also turned in most of the coins and weapons and armor that I looted from the farm! You say, I have something left??? Now that I have finally captured Sarburg, tell me that my previous military exploits do not count, so the next attack on the outpost of Vilno City will be changed to a baggage team, anyway, even if all the outposts are killed, they will not be able to get a fair treatment!! Art said with blood and anger.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

"Sir Art, according to the confessions of Baron Schmidt and several Lombard knights, as well as the aftermath of the count, after you conquered the northern farm, you have lost twenty or thirty carts of grain, baggage and valuable goods, this is probably ~" The adjutant of the legion whispered.

Art did have sixteen carts of goods smuggled by the caravan after capturing Houtai Farmstead north of Solburg, and generously gifted Viscount Berrion with more than a dozen carts of grain baggage.

Art glanced at the adjutant of the legion, then turned his head to Viscount Geoffrey and said: "Legion Commander, when you attacked the farm waiting platform, you asked Viscount Berion to send troops to help on the periphery, and after the war, Viscount Berion sent someone to take away a part of the grain and baggage as the military expenses for sending troops to help, you know about this, and I also gave you a special report afterwards." ”

Jeffrey coughed, "Well, there's this. ”

"So, Deputy Chief, the outpost really doesn't have much left." Art said to the lieutenant of the legion.

"That's okay, you Yate has already got a lot of loot, and the outpost should have less when distributing the loot this time." An officer said.

"Yes!!"

"Yes, yes! ～”

The crowd agreed.

"You guys one by one, when you were fighting the dead, you didn't say that you should let the outpost do less, and now when we distribute the spoils, let's divide less, and then all the dead people's things will be given to you, okay?" Art argued.

The officers began to quarrel incessantly again.

For an entire afternoon, the hall of the lords of Solburg was filled with the earth-shattering sound of officers arguing and debating......

After Viscount Geoffrey's mediation and mediation, an approximate distribution share was finally determined.

Art personally received twenty-five thousand finneys from the legion, three horses, and five suits of chain mail;

Because of the outstanding achievements of the outpost, and Viscount Geoffrey's intention to include the outpost as an elite team, he gave the outpost enough tilt when distributing the spoils - 60,000 pfennigs, five sets of half-body plate armor, twenty sets of chain mail, five sets of iron scale armor, twenty-three sets of leather armor, fifty sets of cotton armor, forty-two iron helmets, more than eighty sets of swords, spears, axes and shields, ten sets of bows and crossbows, and five carts of wine, bacon, salt, cloth and other goods.

If you add in the loot that Art captured and hid on his own before, it is already very rich.

However, Art kept complaining to Viscount Geoffrey, asking him to make up for the unfair treatment he had received in the distribution of his exploits with a group of young and strong slaves and valuable craftsmen who had been imprisoned and enslaved by the Lombards in the city of Thorburg.

Viscount Geoffrey couldn't stand Art's entanglement, so he had to promise Art to choose some useful people to join him.

Art dragged Viscount Geoffrey's tiger skin and scavenged around the city, bringing a group of young slaves and weapons and armor craftsmen and craftsmen of various trades into his ranks.

On the tenth day after the capture of Solburg, the court of Provence also sent people to give the Eastern Legion a reward, and Art received a large share......

After the recovery of Solburg, Salter, the steward of the southern caravan with an unusually sharp business acumen, did not need to be reminded by Art, and quickly bought a large amount of consumables such as drinks, vegetables, fruits and other consumables from the north and rushed to Solburg, and used cheap goods to earn a lot of money from the legionary mercenaries who had just received the booty and military rewards.

Of course, Salter did not forget to bring a group of sexy and glamorous professional women from all over the world to Solburg to celebrate the victory with the soldiers who had been suffering from loneliness for months.

When the legionnaires learned that behind the caravan was Art, they gave the wise knight the nickname "Source of Happiness".
