The appointment of the official post ended quickly, and when the soldiers were sent away, the whole army rested and recuperated that day, bought pork and fish, and celebrated one day and had three full meals like the New Year.

This time, the Xuanwei Army not only became a regular army and a standing army, but also directly transferred to the forbidden army of the front division of the palace, which means that the status and treatment of the Xuanwei army should be the same as other forbidden armies of the front division of the palace, such as the You Yi army.

The temporary dilapidated military camp was completely unable to carry the dignity of the forbidden army in front of the palace at this time. Without any superfluous considerations, it's time to reach out and ask for money.

Yang Congyi immediately prepared to apply to the Ministry of War for 100,000 yuan in silver, rebuild the permanent military camp, and improve the accommodation and training grounds of the Xuanwei Army.

However, before he could send out the document to report to the Ministry of War, Lin'an sent a document from the Ministry of War.

The Ministry of War issued a notice asking the Xuanwei Army to send people to the Ministry of War to receive salaries, clothing, armor, ordnance, and other military materials for September last year and April this year.

Just when Yang Congyi and Zhao An were discussing who to send to Lin'an, another document was sent to the Xuanwei Army camp, from the front of the palace.

The secretary of the front office of the palace is an order, ordering Yang Congyi to go to the front boss of the Lin'an Palace to take office within half a month.

When Yang Congyi returned to Changguo, he knew that his position as a military supervisor would not last long, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Lin'an is the world of civil officials, any officer who goes there is a caged bird, unable to escape, and has no status, Yang Congyi's original plan was to stay in the army, waiting for an opportunity to take charge of an army, such as the Xuanwei Army, but fortunately when Yan Liang went south, he had something to do, but this paper order made him delusional.

Looking at the order, his heart was full of uneasiness, the army was already full of hardships in the Great Song Dynasty, he was born in martial arts, and it was even more difficult to do anything when he went to Lin'an this time, and it was inevitable that he would become a caretaker and a person who decorated the façade.

The date of issuance of the appointment was the fifth day of the fourth month, and now it is April 11, and the time left for him is only nine days, and he has not even had time to return to Quanzhou, so he has to leave the Xuanwei army immediately and rush to Lin'an.

The gold, silver and jewelry seized from Liangshan before should have been rewarded when the Xuanwei Army was promoted to the forbidden army, but there are a lot of things in the past few days, and I can't take care of it at all, this batch of money is still in Yang Congyi's hands, and when he leaves, he should still be rewarded.

Immediately, Yang Congyi gathered the generals to discuss the reward.

Seeing that everyone was still excited, Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Last year, the Xuanwei Army gained a lot from Guangnan and his party, and you fought bravely and awarded the official position, which is gratifying, and there will be more opportunities for meritorious service in the future, so you should guard against arrogance and rashness, and make persistent efforts." As far as I know, Wan Yan Tan, the lord of the Northern Jin Kingdom, has been killed by his brother Wan Yan Liang, and now Wan Yan Liang is the new gold lord, Song Jin has been making peace for ten years, and Wan Yan Wushu, who presided over the peace conference, has also died, so it can be seen that Song Jin Heping is afraid that there will be cracks. If you want to go further, you have to continue to work hard, after all, the Jin people are not better than Li Yue, they are the real elite soldiers, galloping horses, coming and going without a trace, those who should be trained must be trained well, and if you really meet them in the future, you can not fall into the name of Xuanwei! ”

After listening to the words of the prison guard, the generals suddenly felt a little strange in their hearts, could it be that something big will happen in the near future? They had questions, but no one asked, because they knew that the prison guards had something to say next.

Sure enough, Yang Congyi turned his head and said with a smile: "The future will be talked about in the future, and I will honor the previous things today." Last time in Liangshan, we seized a lot of property, and we have used a lot of food and drink in the past few months, and there is still some left, and now the Xuanwei army has begun to eat the military salary of the imperial court, and these goods will be distributed to the soldiers. How to divide it, you look at it, come up with a decision, I will not participate. ”

After speaking, Yang Congyi snorted softly, and the soldiers carried the four large wooden boxes into the barracks.

The soldiers withdrew, and the generals rushed up, and when they opened the box, they saw that it was full of gold, silver, and jewelry, and it was shining brightly.

They are all people who have escorted the Hui Yi fleet to the sea, and they have seen countless gold, silver and jewelry, but they are from the imperial court, they can't even touch a single gold coin, and they don't even dare to have ideas, if they make a mistake, they will be killed, and they will be killed immediately.

But now it's different, although there are few boxes of things in front of them, they are captured by blood and sweat, you can touch them casually, and hold them in the palm of your hand, and the feeling can only be described in two words, down-to-earth!

After a gaffe, frenzied, chaotic touch, and a light cough, everyone suddenly realized that the overseer and the commander were still in the barracks, so they reluctantly put the jewels and gold and silver in their hands back into the wooden box, and returned to their seats and sat down.

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "You can distribute these things by yourself, but you must be fair and fair, from the generals to the colonels and the soldiers, you must take care of them, no matter where you are, you must remember not to eat alone, otherwise it will be too late to regret it when it is time to use your life." Tell me how to divide it? ”

As a general, in charge of more than 2,000 people in the four battalions, Su Zhong took the lead and said: "Since it was captured, it was robbed by ability, and naturally it should be distributed according to ability, according to the size of the military merits of each battalion and team, which is the fairest." ”

Yuan Hua echoed: "My thoughts are the same as General Su's, since I want to be fair, then I will come according to military merits, and there will be no objections when I think about it." ”

As soon as the two said this, the others fell silent.

In addition to Zhao An and Yang Congyi in the camp, the two of them have the highest official positions, and they have the same opinion, even if others have objections, it is inconvenient to raise them.

Yang Congyi didn't like this atmosphere very much, so he smiled and said: "General Su and General Yuan think that it is best to distribute according to military merits, and everyone else who has different ideas will say it, don't say it here, and say some strange things when you leave the barracks, everyone can speak freely, and this matter will be agreed today." ”

Maybe there were no other ideas, maybe there were concerns, and everyone was still silent.

But after a while, there was a humane: "If you want to be fair, the whole army, whether it is a general or a soldier, should be divided equally according to the number of people, everyone in the battle of Liangshan did their best, and it is the credit of the entire Xuanwei army to take Liangshan and hold Liangshan." If we divide the number of rewards according to military merits, then we must divide the whole into three, six, nine and so on, and artificially create contradictions, which is really undesirable. ”

Everyone looked at it, but it was Zhang Dai.

He did not make much meritorious service in Guangnan, he had been in Anyuan County before going to Liangshan, and he had been guarding the city gate in Liangshan, and he did not go out to seize the pass and guard the pass, nor did he kill or injure many enemies.

Just when everyone's minds were fluctuating, Yao Chang continued: "What Captain Zhang said is reasonable. From beginning to end, the battle of Liangshan was the result of the concerted efforts of all the Xuanwei army, whether it was to capture the pass or defend the city, it was a division of labor and cooperation, and the battle of Liangshan could not have been won without the Xuanwei army twisted into a rope. Since it is the result of everyone's joint efforts, it should be shared equally by everyone for the sake of fairness and justice. ”

Since the appointment of the imperial court, the seven battalion commanders who were originally equal in status have now undergone subtle changes, and they are vaguely divided into two groups, headed by Su Zhong and Yuan Hua, forming two circles, the two deputy generals of the Su Zhong camp, Yao Chang and Luo Cong, the two deputy generals of the Yuan Hua camp, Pan Cheng and Liu Shi, and the rest of the preparation generals are also attached to each other, which is not a good thing for the Xuanwei army.

This kind of thing is inevitable, where there are people, there will be fighting, especially the imperial court gave two generals a quota, as soon as the document arrived, Yang Congyi understood the meaning, it was clear that it was to divide the five thousand Xuanwei army into two to prevent the power of commanding the army from being too centralized, and so many deputy generals were given and ready to be quotas, and the power to command the army was further dispersed.

Since the imperial court intends to split the Xuanwei army, Yang Congyi can't do anything, and he doesn't want to do anything, he is a person with ideals, how can he go against the imperial court.

But after all, the Xuanwei Army was promoted by him, and he followed them step by step to the present, from the Huiyi Escort Army to the Imperial Court Forbidden Army, and it fell apart, not what he wanted, he relied on this army to make meritorious achievements, and now he has been transferred to the capital, and he has a deep affection for the Xuanwei Army, so that they can unite a little, less estranged, and go to the battlefield in the future, not to mention victory, at least they can respond to each other and save their lives.

The two of them put forward different opinions with Su Zhong and Yuan Hua in a row, while the others were more or less hesitant, if they were divided according to their military merits, most people would suffer, but they did not have much military merits, and they lacked confidence, so how could they dare to jump out and say how to divide the property.

With such eyes, Yang Congyi smiled again: "If you have an idea, you can speak freely, don't hide it in your heart, the more you say it, the more you argue, the more you argue, the property is here, everyone has to talk about it." At present, there are two opinions, one is to divide the military merits, and the other is to divide it evenly according to the number of people, and if there are no other proposals, it should be voted on by secret ballot. ”

After waiting for a while, everyone was thoughtful, but no one spoke, and the atmosphere was congrozen.

"Since there is no third thought, choose one of the two." As he spoke, Yang Congyi took out a few pieces of paper, tore them into pieces of paper of similar size and put them on the table.

Then he said: "Each of you stepped forward in turn, wrote down your thoughts on a piece of paper, and agreed with the uniform distribution according to military merit, and the two horizontal lines according to the equal number of people. ”

Seeing that everyone had no objections, he said, "Then let's start." General Su, you come first. ”

When Su Zhong heard this, he didn't hesitate to get up and step forward, put down the pen and returned to his seat.

Yang Congyi took the crossed piece of paper aside and covered it with his hand.

"General Yuan, you come."

Yuan Hua stepped forward, took the pen and scratched it on the piece of paper, put down the pen and went back.

"Next."

Everyone put pen to paper in turn, leaving their own thoughts and traces on the paper.

After a while, except for Yang Congyi and Zhao An, everyone made their position clear.

Yang Congyi pushed the piece of paper in his hand in front of Zhao An, and said with a smile: "Commander Zhao, please give you justice, and see what kind of distribution method the soldiers prefer." ”

Zhao An did not express his opinion from beginning to end, and when he saw Yang Congyi pushing the piece of paper, he did not refuse, and immediately sorted and counted.

After a while, there was a result, and I only listened to Zhao Andao: "I agree that there are four people according to military merits, and I agree that there are twelve people according to the average distribution." ”

As soon as the results came out, Yang Congyi smiled and said: "Okay, the minority obeys the majority, and the property seized in Liangshan will be divided equally regardless of whether it is a general or a soldier." ”

This echoes the wishes of the majority, and it is naturally a joy.

But before they could say anything, Yang Congyi released the news that he would leave the Xuanwei Army.
