The reason why Li Sizhou's attitude towards Zhang Jun was a little surprised was mainly because of Zhang Jun's current status.

At this time, Zhang Jun was named the Duke of Liang Guo, and also served as the general of the Zuolong Wujun. In addition, Zhang Jun's brother Zhang Xiao was also appointed as the political envoy of the Baoda Army, and Zhang Lian, the son of Zhang Jun, was also canonized as the founder of the county from the four products and hung the post of General Jinwu, Zhang Jun's daughter Zhang Manhua also became the wife of Shouwangfu.

The same is true of Dongfang Kui, except that he was named the Duke of Jin. His son was also named the founding county uncle, and his daughter entered the palace of King Mu and became the princess of King Mu Li Yi.

It is precisely because of these rewards that Zhang Jun and Dongfang Kui will accept the appointment of the imperial court so honestly and hand over the army.

It can be said that in the current court, the status of the Zhang family and the Dongfang family is very high, and among these courtiers who have taken refuge in Li Ye, they can be ranked in the top five.

You must know that even Liu Qi was only named the Duke of the Kingdom; Pei Rong and Sun Ye are only county princes, and Li Zhen and Li Yingxu are just the founding county uncles.

However, Zhang Jun also knew that his family had received such a heavy reward, and he was also a little ostentatious, so he was also very low-key, Li Ye asked him to cooperate with Li Sizhou to deal with the affairs of the Jingyuan Army, and he came quickly.

。。。。。。

"What's all the fuss?"

Seeing those officers and soldiers of the Jingyuan Army who were ready to mutiniate if they disagreed, Zhang Jun's face turned pale, and seeing his arrival, the officers and men of the Jingyuan Army, who were originally very emotional, quieted down suddenly.

"The festival commander is here!"

"The festival commander is here!"

"Stand still!"

"You all come with me."

Zhang Jun didn't give these soldiers a good look, he directly pointed to a few people and named them, and the dozen or so people who were called out were basically the main generals of the Jingyuan Army, and a few of them were still taking the lead in making trouble.

These people didn't expect Zhang Jun to come back, and they had previously told the soldiers below that Zhang Jun was imprisoned or something. just wanted to incite the unwitting soldiers to make trouble, and then achieve some of their goals, but Zhang Jun's return meant that their rumors were self-defeating.

In the big tent, Zhang Jun sat next to Li Sizhou, looking at the dozen or so people standing in front of him, his face was gloomy, "You are bold, are you going to make trouble if I am not there?" His Royal Highness King Qin is from the royal family, can he still lower your status to lead you? Your positions have not been reduced, and a few of you have been promoted, are you still not satisfied? ”

Looking at the angry Zhang Jun, more than a dozen people's hearts trembled, even if Zhang Jun had been transferred, the deterrent power in their hearts still existed.

Everyone looked at each other, the scene was quiet, only Zhang Jun's reprimand, and after a while, one of the generals stood up with a hesitant expression.

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

"Jie Shuai, it's not that the inferior people are dissatisfied. It's just that I heard that the marshal was imprisoned, and the imperial court wanted to take the opportunity to deal with our Jingyuan army, so we 。。。。。。 ”

"Captivity? Who made the rumor? Do you see me as a captive? Don't think I don't know what you want to do, tell you, if you want to die, don't involve the others.

From the feudal army to the forbidden army, can't it satisfy you?

Those crooked thoughts, I advise you not to move, don't say that something happens then, I won't protect you. ”

In the big tent, while Zhang Jun reprimanded those generals, in the barracks outside, the generals at all levels and the personnel of the Supervision Office who were sent to serve in the Zuo Shenwu Army were also doing ideological work with these soldiers of the Jingyuan Army who were about to become members of the Zuo Shenwu Army.

In this, there is also a group of special people, even Zhang Jun and Li Si don't know about it.

It is definitely not possible to forcibly transfer those generals, as long as these ordinary soldiers and low-level officers are convinced, even if the generals above have other ideas, it will not affect the reorganization of the entire Jingyuan Army, and when the time comes, if those unscrupulous generals are moved, the resistance will not be so great.

"I heard that you don't want to be reorganized into the Left Shenwu Army, don't you want to become a forbidden army?" Looking at the group of Jingyuan Army soldiers who were discussing in a low voice in front of him, Li Ye couldn't help but walk over and ask.

"Who are you?"

Seeing Li Ye and the soldiers wearing well-armored armor beside him, these soldiers of the Jingyuan Army were a little vigilant, in the eyes of these people, Li Ye and his entourage were obviously people from the imperial court, and under the instigation of the generals above, these soldiers maintained a certain vigilance against the people of the imperial court.

Next to him, Link wanted to step forward and speak, but Li Ye directly stopped the other party.

"Me?" Li Ye smiled and said, "It's just a petty official sent by the imperial court to investigate why you are unwilling to change." I'm a little curious, if you are reorganized into a forbidden army, your military salary will be much higher than before when you were in the feudal town, why don't you want to adapt? ”

"Who knows if what you said is true, if it is just said nicely, it will not be counted later, wouldn't we be miserable." Although these people are very wary, there are still people who stand up.

"What's your name? Before you, how much was a month's salary? Li Ye pointed to the thin man who had just spoken.

The man who was pointed at by Li Ye was stared at by so many people, and his face turned red, "My name is Liu Hu, and I only had two silk horses and one stone of rice every month before." ”

Li Ye asked a few people and found that they were all the same, as for whether there were deductions, I don't know, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they don't give money, but distribute it in the form of silk and grain.

This is also divided into places, in Jingyuan, due to the previous Huangchao Rebellion to the present, economic development has been affected, and Jingyuan is not a rich place, so the treasury is not very abundant.

Due to the high price of grain, Zhang Jun finally decided to distribute it in the form of grain and silk in kind, and would issue copper coins unless it was a special case.

At this time, the production of silver in the Tang Dynasty was low, so silver was not as liquid as copper coins, and it was not considered legal tender.

But don't underestimate these two horses of silk and a stone of rice, here rice is not only rice, but also millet, wheat, etc. In Jingyuan, a horse of silk is worth five yuan and 500 yuan, and one stone of rice is worth four guan, so that the monthly military salary is five guan.

Li Ye nodded and asked another person, "Then what do you usually eat?" ”

"One pound of rice a day!"

"Is there any meat?"

"Eat meat for two days."

Li Ye took a closer look at these soldiers, no wonder most of them were thin, how strong they could be with such nutrition.

"Wu Daniu, tell them how much your monthly military salary is and what you eat every day." Li Ye looked at the Jinyi guard soldiers beside him, pointed to a soldier whose name could be called, and ordered.

"Yes, Temple." Hearing Li Ye call out his name, the Jinyi Guard soldier known as Wu Da Niu was a little excited, his face turned red, and he almost missed his mouth.

"My name is Wu Daniu, I am an ordinary soldier of Jinyiwei, my military salary is three yuan and two stone rice per month, three meals a day, full of food, and one meal with meat."

"Really?"

As soon as Wu Daniu's words fell, the people present and the soldiers of the Jingyuan Army were a little excited and began to talk in a buzzing conversation. Obviously, the treatment that Wu Daniu said made these people envious.

That's three times a lot of money and two stones of rice, just this money, one person can feed a family. Note: One stone of rice in the Tang Dynasty was 53 kilograms. They don't really value the three pieces of money, mainly the two stone rice, which is ten consistent money, which is more than twice as much as them.

Moreover, the rice they receive every month is not enough, and it is only seven or eight buckets of rice when one stone of rice is sent to their hands.

These Jingyuan Army soldiers were obviously a little excited, and they were all a little eager to try, and finally one of them couldn't help but ask, "Are you deducting military salaries?" ”

"How is it possible, there are officials from the Supervision Office in our army who supervise the distribution of military salaries, and if they are found to have withheld military salaries, they will all be beheaded." Wu Daniu was a little angry.

"There is another question, you said that you are from Jinyiwei, but I heard that Jinyiwei is responsible for protecting those people in the emperor, and the military salary must be higher, so what about the other forbidden armies? Is it the same? One of the squad members stood up and asked, apparently knowing a little more than ordinary soldiers.

Wu Daniu is just a soldier of the Jinyi Guard, where do you know the treatment of other soldiers of the forbidden army.

Li Ye raised his head and motioned for the other party to step back, and then explained, "Jinyiwei wants to be special, but the treatment of other forbidden troops is only that the money has become two, but there are still two stones of rice."

And there is compensation for injuries and war deaths.

Lightly wounded two silks, seriously wounded three silks and two pieces of money, and killed ten horses of silk and ten pieces of money. This is just for ordinary soldiers, and there will be more fire captains, team captains, and captains.

In terms of weapons and armor, the soldiers of the forbidden army are also very different, and the soldiers who want to fight on the battlefield have iron armor to protect them, and their weapons will be better than your current ones. ”

"Then why did the general above say that you are here to break us up?" Someone went on to ask.

"Because entering the forbidden army is not something that can be entered casually, it needs to be assessed. There must be some of you who cannot become soldiers of the forbidden army, but don't be discouraged, when the time comes, a sum of money will be paid to let you return to your hometown, and when the time comes, it will depend on your own choice whether you are willing to be a soldier in the state or county, or not.

Are you now willing to accept the reorganization into a forbidden army? Li Ye asked with a smile.

The reason why it is necessary to assess is because there are too many troops at present, if the Tiance Army, the Shence Army, the Yulin Army, the Longwu Army and the Shenwu Army are fully established, it will be 250,000 troops.

According to the current treatment of the forbidden army, the annual military salary expenditure is 6 million guan and 6 million stone grain. This is not counting the Jinyi Guard and the Shenji Battalion, such a huge number is tantamount to a lot of pressure for the current Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, for the newly established Left and Right Shenwu Army and the Left and Right Dragon Martial Army, Li Ye planned to control each army at 15,000 people, and most of them would be naturally eliminated and removed, which could also temporarily relieve the financial pressure of the imperial court.

And the army is not more and more, for the army, Li Ye's requirements are more expensive, not more.

"I do!"

Liu Hu was the first to stand up and say that he accepted the adaptation.

"You have to pass the test to become a soldier of the Zuo Shenwu Army." Li Ye kindly reminded.

"It's going to be fine, I'm sure I can." Liu Hu patted his chest, very confident.

Someone took the lead, and these soldiers and middle- and low-level officers of the Jingyuan Army who were already interested in it also echoed one after another, and they passed it on ten, ten, and hundred, and soon wanted to be a part of the people who knew the benefits of becoming a forbidden army.

Originally, Zhang Jun and Li Sizhou were inside to persuade those generals, but suddenly heard a noise outside, and thought something was wrong, so they hurriedly ran out.

When they saw Li Ye explaining the benefits of the forbidden army back and forth among the soldiers of the Jingyuan Army, the two were obviously stunned and hurriedly ran over.

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

"Your Highness?" The soldiers of the Jingyuan Army next to them were stunned, they knew that the new general was a prince, and they thought that it was worth the other party.

Zhang Jun was a little annoyed and scolded, "A group of fools, this is His Royal Highness King Shou." ”

Hearing that the young man in front of them was King Shou, these Jingyuan soldiers came back to their senses, and suddenly the military camp sounded like a tsunami.

"Shouwang Chitose Chitose!"
