Chapter Forty-Eight: High-ranking Officials

"Cool!"

Liu Zongmin walked out of the gate of the splendid "Yuelai Hotel" with a mouth full of oil and red light, and sighed.

He turned around and waved his hand at the depressed Xiong Ba, and strode away with three subordinates.

"How? Delicious, right? ”

He wiped the greasy side of his mouth with his big hand, and said proudly to the two adjutant generals beside him, the Yang brothers, and the commander of the artillery battalion, Luo Jun.

"Uh-huh!"

"Delicious!"

"I've never had such a delicious dish!"

The three generals nodded again and again.

The Yang brothers, whose ancestors were the collateral clansmen of the Yang family generals in the Song Dynasty, were fortunate not to break the ancestral inheritance after the changes of current events.

Therefore, although the family has been completely dilapidated by the time of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and the family has become a homeless, however, the Yang family's marksmanship is extremely skilled.

Fortunately, three months ago, the family followed the exile brigade to the capital to make a living, and happened to meet the emperor's big recruitment.

Because the two brothers are skilled in arching horses, they were admitted to the Royal Army Academy of Daming, which is the best time to catch up.

The two brothers soon stood out among the Fifth Division and became the two lieutenants of the Fifth Division.

Luo Jun, the commander of the artillery battalion of the Fifth Division, is a real low-level little man from his background.

His family has been a craftsman for generations, a craftsman who makes firearms.

Because he participated in the large-scale recruitment and entered the new army, he was very familiar with artillery, coupled with his flexible head, and the new army was in urgent need of talents to operate artillery.

This time, Mao Mao Xiong lost the bet, Liu Zongmin naturally did not forget the three right-hand men under him, and simply brought the three of them to the banquet together.

It is also possible to open their eyes and satisfy their appetites.

Liu Zongmin is now truly complacent.

In yesterday's meritorious service awards, his military exploits topped the list.

That's a big deal!

First of all, he was given a three-entry mansion by the emperor!

Although he hadn't moved into the big mansion yet, he secretly took a look at it and was stunned on the spot!

It's a luxurious mansion covering an area of more than 100 acres!

The degree of luxury immediately made him dumbfounded.

I heard that this is the mansion of a marquis in the original capital!

He seized the relics of the three bandit leaders, so that the military department obtained a lot of incomparably valuable information, and invisibly made a great contribution.

Because of his great merit, he was specially designated by His Majesty the Emperor to become the commander of the White Tiger Legion among the Five Divine Beast Field Legions that had just begun to be formed!

This post of corps commander is not comparable to the original Fifth Division.

The White Tiger Regiment was formed by the merger of the fifth, sixth, and seventh divisions of the original New Army, with a total of 90,000 officers and men.

The other four field corps: the Qinglong Legion, the Vermilion Bird Legion, the Xuanwu Legion, and the Qilin Legion, respectively, were headed by Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, and Wang Qinian.

Sun Chuanting, on the other hand, was promoted to the head of the Ming Royal War Department.

Lu Xiangsheng is the deputy minister and the commander of the Blue Dragon Legion, which can be regarded as a horizontal transfer.

However, he now controls the real power of a legion, and if he loses, he will gain.

Mao Mao Xiong's house, without a reward or demotion, is still the division commander of the Third Division.

It's just that now, his third division has been merged into the Blue Dragon Legion, and there is Lu Xiangsheng, the real top boss.

The formation of five field corps is imperative.

After all, in the future, Zhu Youxiao planned to conduct the battle with the corps as a unit.

The 90,000 soldiers of a legion are still the soldiers of the new army who have been armed to the teeth, which is enough to deal with the enemy along the way.

The previous establishment of recruit divisions and regiments was too scattered and unsuitable for future command of major wars, and merger became inevitable.

The remaining 150,000 soldiers of the five divisions that were eliminated were reorganized and became the garrison corps of the capital and Shuntianfu.

What they need to do in the future is to continue to strengthen their training and prepare for the next large-scale military expansion.

After the reorganization of the five major field corps was completed, the grading system of military salaries began to be fully implemented.

Liu Zongmin, the commander of the corps, his salary has skyrocketed from the original ten taels of silver per month to three hundred taels of silver!

The deputy commander was two hundred taels of silver per month.

The division commander was 150 taels of silver per month, and ...... down in turn, and the most ordinary soldier was 3 taels of silver per month.

After the reorganization of the new army, every corps commander, deputy corps commander, and division commander were all rewarded with a mansion compound by His Majesty the Emperor, and there was no expenditure of dozens of taels of silver per month, so they could not be turned around at all.

And what Zhu Youxiao hated most was embezzling military salaries and taking into account the living needs of various generals.

Therefore, it is very necessary to drastically adjust the benefits of military salaries.

The military salary has been greatly adjusted, and the happiest person is undoubtedly Liu Zongmin, a ruthless fool.

He now said to the three right-hand men: "Lao Tzu now has three hundred taels of silver per month, and give it to Lao Niang two hundred taels of silver per month." ”

"The remaining one hundred taels of silver is enough to come to this Yuelai Hotel more than a dozen times a month!"

"And our White Tiger Legion has a large number of combat missions, and it is estimated that we will not stay in the capital for a few months every year in the future."

"Then, in the future, when Lao Tzu is in the capital, he can come to this Yuelai Hotel to eat and drink once a day!"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, "Brothers, you will have to make a lot of meritorious contributions in the future!" ”

"The emperor said that in addition to the monthly military salary, the military merit value obtained in the battle can be exchanged for all materials including silver and fields from the Royal Quartermaster Department!"

"I don't think about it so much, I just like to fight!"

Liu Zongmin was extremely excited, "Of course, after more than ten years, if you can exchange the military merit points you have obtained for a big farm to use to inherit the family, then you will have no regrets in life!" ”

"The Legion Commander is mighty!"

"Mighty!"

"Wu!"

The Yang brothers and Luo Jun were red-eyed when they heard this, and they raised their thumbs one after another.

"A few stinky boys, now, go home with Lao Tzu and move!"

Liu Zongmin became more and more proud, "Today, Lao Tzu wants to take his wife and younger brothers and sisters to live in a new mansion!" ”

"You three rest assured, this is our brotherhood helping each other, and we do not violate military discipline and military rules."

Although military discipline stipulates that no generals and soldiers are allowed to do private work for their own purposes, it is not against military orders to call a few brothers to help them move.

"I won't let you three work blindly!"

Liu Zongmin waved his hand, "Just when I went out, Lao Tzu set up a table of ten perfect banquets at Yuelai Hotel, which was specially used for today's dinner!" ”

"My family of four, plus your three brothers and your family, a total of twelve people, is just right, just enough to fill a table."

With that, he led the three powerful subordinates energetically and strode towards his home in the distance with his head held high.
