Chapter 772. Reactions of the parties (ii).

……
At the same time that the bigwigs in Guyuan Military Town were shocked by the sudden change in attitude of the chief soldier Fang Zhenshan, in the camp of Guyuan Military Town, the border soldiers at the bottom were also discussing because of the announcement posted by the Governor's Palace.
Different from the seven official documents received by the General Military Office, the announcement of the Governor's Office was oriented to the low-level border army, and the content was roughly similar to the seven official documents, but after the low-level border troops saw the content of the announcement, they did not pay much attention to the legitimacy of Zhao Junchen's leadership of the military administration in Shaanxi and Gansu, and most of them did not care about Zhao Junchen's request for private soldiers to form a new army of soldiers from the border army military attachés, they were more concerned about Zhao Junchen's promise to repay the arrears of pay and rewards, more concerned about the series of rewards and punishments issued by Zhao Junchen, and more concerned about Zhao Junchen's deeds of leading the troops to repel the Mongol army with fewer victories and more victories. Especially after the end of this victory, the soldiers who participated in the war all received a large amount of silver and military merits, which made many low-level border soldiers jealous.
In fact, the content of the announcement is mainly based on these three points.
At this time, on the training ground of the Guyuan battalion, hundreds of low-level border soldiers were discussing around the announcement on the wooden fence.
Since coming to the camp of Guyuan Military Town, the Jinyi Guard and the forbidden army have posted announcements everywhere, and the announcement of the drill ground is just one of them.
Most of the border soldiers at the bottom are illiterate, so there are several brocade guards and elite soldiers standing next to the announcement, answering questions to the border soldiers at any time.
"Old man Xia, do you say that the things in this announcement are true? Does the Governor's Mansion really want to pay us back the money? ”
A thin young frontier soldier was a little agitated and asked an elderly frontier soldier beside him.
Old man Xia looks like he is at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and he is also physically disabled, blind in his right eye, and missing two fingers in his right hand - these injuries are not war injuries, but were killed by a certain military attache of the border army - although he is old and disabled, but because he is from a military family, Old Man Xia is still a member of the border army.
Because of his age and wide knowledge, Old Man Xia was respected by many low-level border soldiers, and some low-level border soldiers were always accustomed to asking Old Man Xia for advice.
After hearing the young border soldier's inquiry, Old Man Xia pondered for a moment and said, "It should be true, at least there will be no fake in the matter of repaying this year's arrears!" In previous years, most of the people who said that they would repay the salary were just rumors, and they never gave permission letters, so where was the direct announcement like this time? It is still the signed announcement of Lord Qincha, and Qincha's statement represents the credibility of the imperial court, and it should be true to his word! ”
Like most of the common people, Old Man Xia did not trust the low-level officials of the imperial court, but believed in the credibility of the imperial center, believing that he was oppressed only because the low-level officials deceived the emperor, but the emperor was still holy anyway.
The young frontier soldier was immediately overjoyed and said: "That's great, I owe two months of money this year, and after receiving this money, I can finally subsidize some ...... It's been a few days since I couldn't open the pot at home! …… If the Lord-sama can make up for the arrears of the previous year, maybe ......"
Speaking of the back, the young frontier suddenly blushed a little.
Old man Xia glanced at the demeanor of the young border soldier, and suddenly smiled: "Maybe what?" Maybe you, Li Dahu, will have the money to build a new house and marry a daughter-in-law? ”
Hearing Old Man Xia's ridicule, the young border soldier Li Dahu blushed even more, obviously being said to be in his mind.
Seeing Li Dahu's statement, a trace of gloom flashed in Old Man Xia's eyes.
In the proclamation, the Governor's Office promised to repay this year's arrears of wages within half a month, and to repay all previous years' arrears of wages and wages after the end of this year's fire.
In Old Man Xia's opinion, the former is still possible, but the latter is absolutely impossible! Because of Liang Fuchen, the imperial court allocated a large amount of money and grain to the Shaanxi and Gansu sides this year, so the Shaanxi and Gansu border army is not much in arrears this year, only two months! It is not difficult to reissue this salary! But there are too many arrears of wages in previous years on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, for example, Old Man Xia has been in the army for nearly 30 years, and the cumulative arrears of wages are at least ten years! This amount of silver is not a small amount, even the imperial treasury may not be able to come up with such a large amount of silver in a short period of time!
Therefore, Old Man Xia did not have much expectations for the latter, thinking that it was just Lord Qincha who drew a big pie to the border army.
However, seeing Li Dahu's excited and expectant appearance, Old Man Xia couldn't bear to splash cold water after all, but just smiled: "If you really marry a daughter-in-law, your wife will have a hope, if you have a big fat boy, maybe your mother's lung disease can be cured." ”
Li Dahu smirked, and he didn't know how he should respond, so he said after a long time: "This Lord Qincha Zhao is really a Qingtian master, but he has just come to Shaanxi and Gansu, and he will give us a supplementary salary. ”
Old man Xia was slightly stunned, but he still nodded in agreement, and said: "Yes, if he really makes up the arrears of previous years, then he is the great benefactor of our border army, not only your family, but most of the border army should be grateful to him!" ”
In Shaanxi and Gansu, arrears of wages are a common thing, and the border soldiers are also accustomed to it, and even take it for granted, and the repayment of salaries has become a rare thing. In this way, the repayment of arrears is obviously a matter of course, but in the eyes of the border soldiers, it has become a favor.
Therefore, if Zhao Junchen can really make up all the arrears of the Shaanxi-Gansu border army in previous years, he will inevitably become a great benefactor of all the border troops, and completely gain the prestige of the Shaanxi-Gansu border army, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the heart of the army.
In fact, now Zhao Junchen has already won the favor of all the border troops just by repaying the two months of arrears this year! Zhao Junchen also announced one thing to everyone through this announcement - that is, Zhao Junchen has replaced Wang Zheng, the governor of the three sides, to become the military and political leader of Shaanxi and Gansu, and Zhao Junchen is still a "good official" who is willing to make up the arrears.
In the eyes of the border army, as long as Zhao Junchen can make up for their arrears, he is the master of the blue sky!
In this way, Zhao Junchen's position on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu has been completely consolidated!
Even if there are some upper-level military attachés who want to disobey Zhao Junchen, they can't get the support of the low-level border army - the low-level border army still expects Zhao Junchen to continue to make up for the arrears of previous years!

Just when the young frontier Li Dahu was fantasizing about a better tomorrow, a thick and wide palm slapped him on the shoulder.
The strength of this palm was very strong, and Li Dahu was almost slapped crooked.
Li Dahu turned his head and saw a tall man in the prime of life, and immediately looked in awe, bowed his head and said, "Brother Hero, you are also here!" ”
This middle-aged man's name is Li Ershan, but he thinks this name is not good, so he changed his name to Li Yingying, this person has a rough expression and a big personality, not only is he strong and skillful, but he is also quite prestigious in Guyuan Military Town.
Li Yingying is also from a military household, but the chief soldier Fang Zhenshan took a fancy to his martial arts, so he promoted him to a pro-soldier family, and now he is a member of Fang Zhenshan's private soldiers, Fang Zhenshan has always attached importance to private soldiers, not only double the salary, and never in arrears, but also gave many privileges, so Li Yingying did not pay attention to the matter of repaying the arrears in the announcement, he paid more attention to a series of rewards and punishments issued by Zhao Junchen.
At this time, after Li Yingying patted Li Dahu's shoulder, he smiled and said, "The kitten wants to marry a daughter-in-law?" Why don't you tell me? You don't need the court to pay back the money, I'll just give you some! ”
Li Yingying and Li Dahu are distant cousins, but Li Yingying thinks that Li Dahu is thin and weak, and he can't afford the name of "Big Tiger", so he calls Li Dahu "kitten" on weekdays, Li Dahu has always been in awe of Li Yingying, but he doesn't dare to refute.
Hearing Li Yingying's words, Li Dahu's head hung down more and more, and he didn't dare to look directly into Li Yingying's eyes—he always had an inferiority complex in front of Li Yingying—and said in a low voice: "Don't dare to trouble Brother Hero anymore, the old lady in the family was sick a few days ago, if it weren't for Brother Hero receiving medical money, I wouldn't be able to fulfill my filial piety in the future...... Besides, Brother Hero, you don't have a family, it's better to save your money, save more silver, maybe you can marry a girl with an innocent family background......"
Li Yingying laughed and said, "Cat, you are too out-of-sight...... We are brothers, what about my money for you to marry a daughter-in-law? If I don't have any money, I'll cut off some of the heads of the Mongol tartars!" ”
Speaking of this, Li Yingying turned his head and glanced at the announcement, his expression faintly fanatical and excited.
Seeing Li Yingying's appearance, Old Man Xia couldn't help but be surprised, and asked, "Hero, do you want to join the soldiers and kill the enemy?" ”
Li Yingying glanced at Old Man Xia, with a bold smile on his face, and said: "You have also read this official document, the Governor's Palace's reward and punishment military order this year, as long as you hand in a Tartar head, you will be credited once, and there will be ten taels of silver...... A few days ago, the general soldier sent troops to escort Governor Zhang to greet Lord Qincha, I didn't go, but Wang Da and Ma Shun they went, and after being attacked by the Mongols, they all made great contributions. I have already asked the forbidden soldier next to the announcement just now, and there is no shortage of these bounties, all of them have fallen into the hands of Wang Damashun! Obviously, this year's reward and punishment orders are real...... Old man Xia, you also know, where are Wang Da and Ma Shun my opponents? None of them are my triad enemies, they can all make such feats, then I, Li Yingying, will definitely be able to make even greater feats! At that time, it is not enough to have as much silver as you want? ”
Then, Li Yingying made a decisive face and said: "Now that the minister of the Qin Mission wants to send the elite of the border army from all over the country to form soldiers, I have already decided, and I ask the chief soldier to participate!" It is inevitable to cut off the heads of dozens of Mongolian Tatars, promote to high officials, and make a lot of money! ”
Speaking of this, Li Yingying smiled heartily again, patted Li Dahu's shoulder again, and said: "At that time, it's not too late for Brother Hero to marry another wife!" ”
Hearing Li Yingying's decision, Old Man Xia and Li Dahu both had complicated expressions, both with some admiration and some worry.
They admired Li Yingying's ambition and courage, but as an old and weak member of the border army, they were afraid of war in their hearts and regarded the enemy like a tiger, so they could not help but worry about Li Yingying's safety.
In the eyes of Old Man Xia and Li Dahu, as long as the imperial court can make up the salary, it is already excellent, but they never dare to expect military merits to reward silver.
Seeing the expressions of Old Man Xia and Li Dahu, Li Yingying laughed again, and was about to say something, when suddenly someone ran quickly and shouted loudly: "Everyone, General He, the garrison officer of Hedong, is here!" General Ho is here! ”
As this person's words fell, the hundreds of border soldiers surrounding the announcement were suddenly in an uproar.
At the same time, Li Yingying's body shook, and he turned around sharply, his face irrepressibly showing fanaticism and reverence!
