Chapter 37 Recruitment
After all, Empress Zhang is a woman, so "all the things that should be used to kill the soldiers are entrusted to Xiao Chengyibo", I am afraid that Liu Yongxi has the final say on how to reward meritorious deeds, at most, like this rest, Liu Yongxi first drew up the charter and then asked Empress Zhang to nod.
Moreover, although this group of prisoners said that they would be "completely dispersed and incorporated into various ministries", I am afraid that the specific way to completely disrupt and integrate them into various ministries will be in the hands of Liu Yongxi.
Tong Yili suddenly understood that he was afraid that his "Nandu Record" would have to be revised again and asked Xiao Chengyi to review it, and he must write straight as Shi Chen.
And the ideas of ordinary officers and soldiers, family members, sailors, and miscellaneous servants are not as complicated as Tong Yili, since they crossed to the south, they have fled all the way south and are tired of running for their lives, and they have just experienced a tragic battle, both physically and mentally have approached the limit, if it were not for the brigade of thieves who may catch up at any time behind them, many people may have had a psychological breakdown.
Especially those officers and soldiers who found themselves seasick as soon as they got on the ship are now even more excited, they finally found a chance to breathe, even Tong Yili himself is looking forward to such a chance to rest, but as a civil servant, he must raise objections.
When he found Liu Yongxi, Liu Yongxi, Empress Zhang, and Taikanghou and his party were discussing the issue of specific rewards in a pavilion on the shore.
For Empress Zhang and the two palace maids beside her, this is also a rare opportunity.
Although Liu Yongxi gave up the largest, best and most comfortable cabin to Empress Zhang, the conditions on the ship were very limited after all, and the result was that the first day on the ship was still a little fresh, and the next few days were monotonous and repetitive scenes and increasingly difficult conditions, not to mention that he had experienced a thrilling battle just now.
Queen Zhang was born poor but could bear it, the two pretty little palace maids beside her had never suffered such hardships, and now they just put aside Queen Zhang and slept together.
And Empress Zhang has no opinion on the charter proposed by Liu Yongxi: "Little Chengyibo, I still say the same thing, since I entrust you with all the things of using soldiers to kill, then these rewards are also entrusted to you, you and Master Tong and a few generals think it's no problem to come to the country according to your charter!" ”
Although Tong Yili wanted to speak, he also knew that it was asking for trouble to stand up and challenge Liu Yongxi now, so Liu Yongxi saw Tong Yili rushing over and took the initiative to ask: "Master Tong, do you have any details that you need to add?" ”
Tong Yili immediately asked: "It's gratifying that Master Wang has this victory, but isn't it too long to rest for two days in one breath?" What if a thief catches up? ”
Liu Yongxi has already been confident about this: "The soldiers have to use their lives to have such a big victory, and they must let the soldiers have a good rest, and have a good time to have the motivation to continue to cross south, and the main target of the thieves is mainly the Jingshi, they can send such a horse team to pursue it is already the limit, and more importantly, we have to take this opportunity to figure out the movements of the Jingshi in order to decide the next direction." ”
Although Liu Yongxi and everyone present knew that Jingshi would definitely not be able to hold on, the problem was that they had to get clear information before they could decide on their next move.
And Tong Yili has always been known for his "knowing soldiers", so he naturally wants to take this opportunity to show himself: "What the sincerity of the Bo said is very true, if Shenjing has always adhered to it, we can organize the Qinwang soldiers in Shandong, I believe that with the Virgin Mary, the military and civilians of Shandong will inevitably eat pot pulp in the whole province to vote, and mastering a province in Shandong is very important for the great cause of King Qin!" ”
Liu Yongxi did not directly refuse Tong Yili's proposal, but pushed the question to Empress Zhang: "What does Niangniang think of what Master Tong said?" ”
Empress Zhang is not an unsophisticated little girl, and she knows the careful thinking of Tong Yili and Liu Yongxi: "Use troops to recruit all things or listen to Xiao Chengyibo's arrangement, not to mention whether Shandong can organize Qinwang's soldiers and get Shandong to know." ”
Whether it was Liu Yongxi or Tong Yili, they all felt that Empress Zhang's answer was acceptable, and Shi Chaoli next to him hurriedly said: "Then do it according to the queen's wishes, so that the soldiers below know the queen's kindness!" ”
Although this was only an insignificant victory militarily, and Li Zicheng only lost a few dozen cavalry, which could be replenished at the first time, it was of great significance to this southbound fleet, and it also deterred the powerful gentry who were dozens of miles away from the battlefield.
These powerful gentlemen now finally know that this Dafa southward force belongs to the Sincerity Mansion, but even such an elite rogue horse team was easily annihilated by the Sincerity Mansion, and their villages, which could only barely defend themselves, naturally sent gifts as soon as they were terrified.
And the sincerity of the Bofu is rare to relax, everyone took this opportunity to have wine and meat to eat and drink, just the battlefield killed, seriously injured horse meat is enough to eat for half a month, so temporarily bought a lot of private salt to marinate the horse meat.
Liu Yongxi sent out more than 1,000 taels of silver and hundreds of copper coins at once, in addition to this, he also bought food, medicinal materials and all military supplies in the market, and even raised the prices of dozens of miles nearby by at least one percent.
But the most important thing is to take advantage of this great victory to recruit troops and buy horses, although there was not much damage on the side of the Sincerity Bofu in this battle and more than 20 rogue cavalry were captured, but since these prisoners had been tainted, they were naturally disrupted and incorporated into various ministries to control and use, and it was impossible for them to continue to get on their horses and drive.
In this case, the available strength of the Sincerity Bofu is roughly the same as before the war, and the horse team is seriously reduced, in the troubled times, if this force encounters a strong enemy, it does not even have the power to protect itself, and the old brothers below also have the idea of promotion, recruiting troops and horses has become the best rebellion.
And the people of Cangzhou are brave, and Song and Yuan have always been the best source of soldiers, so Liu Yongxi asked Fuding to make a special trip, and everyone welcomed Liu Yongxi's plan very much, after all, the more recruits they recruited, the more benefits they would get for these old people.
But such happy days lasted only one day, and the next day a merchant ship from the north came with very clear news: "The thief Li Zicheng has attacked the city of Jingshi on March 15, and Jingshi is already in danger!" ”
When the sincerity Bofu heard the news, he naturally had a very ambivalent mentality, hoping that the Jingshi could stay for a few more days to buy time for himself, but he didn't want the Jingshi to keep going, otherwise the fact that they abandoned the Jingshi and fled south directly was completely exposed on the spot, but Tong Yili stood up to cheer everyone up: "As long as the 100,000 Jingying is still there, the Jingshi can hold it for a while!" ”
Liu Yongxi shook his head and said: "There is no Jingying anymore, the merchant on the boat said that the Jingying was ordered to go out of the Yusha River, but before the enemy heard the cannon, the whole army was defeated." ”
