Liu Zhengfeng felt a little dizzy in his head, closed his eyes vigorously, calmed down, and then trembled slightly and picked up the tea bowl with both hands and took a sip of tea. He opened his eyes and looked around, looking at a room full of reckless men, all of them looking excited, all looking forward to the wonderful days of occupying the city, and couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly. Is this destiny of sitting in the south facing north for others to watch? It's just a small county town, how can I can't help but think of such a long-term place? Looking at the excited subordinates around him, I'm afraid that these people also have their own careful thoughts in their hearts.

Turning his head to look at Yu Zhilong again, he found that Yu Zhilong's expression was not shocked, and he couldn't see too much joy, Liu Zhengfeng couldn't help but move in his heart, this little brother Yu has had many amazing works in the past month. When he was still in the scout team, Yu Hai chatted with him about the leaders, and he was specifically mentioned. Yu Hai praised him for his quick wit and courage to take responsibility, even Zhao Shi secretly admired him. If it weren't for Yu Zhilong's young age, he wanted to promote him, and Yu Hai also asked Guo Zhilong in private, wanting to transfer him to his own personal team, but Yu Zhilong excused himself and said that he was used to staying in the scout team with Zhao Shi and other brothers, and he didn't want to change it, so the matter would be stopped.

Later, because the squadron was hit by the Tartar cavalry, the losses were heavy, and several leaders of thousands of households were also killed, Yu Haicai was ordered to serve as a squadron of thousands of households and reorganize the squadron. Liu Zhengfeng later allowed Yu Zhilong to serve as a pioneer, and secretly had the intention of transferring him out of the headquarters, lest Yu Zhilong be promoted too quickly because of his outstanding achievements in front of him, and he could not be mastered in the future. Who would have thought that this little brother was really not a thing in the pool, he hadn't seen him for a few days, and he had pulled up a big team, and now his strength was so strong that it had surpassed the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, how should he control it in the future?

Liu Zhengfeng's heart is full of joy and excellence, and his mind is uncertain. Yu Shichang sat on his right hand and was also envious, jealous and hateful, and he had all kinds of tastes in his heart. Yu Shichang is young and vigorous, has always wanted to get ahead, when Yu Hai was there, he had the care of his father and Liu Zhengfeng, fought a few victories, and felt that he had the capital, but Yu Hai was suddenly attacked and killed, which caused great difficulties for his promotion, although Liu Zhengfeng also took care of himself, but Liu Zhengfeng's reputation was not as good as Yu Hai after all, and if he wanted to get ahead quickly in the team in the future, he had to find an opportunity. Now Yu Zhilong is in the limelight for a while, and he is really incomparable.

If you can lay down Linqu County in advance, it will naturally be a great achievement. It's just that now Yu Shichang's department has also lost a lot, and he is not strong enough to attack the city by himself, so what can he do!

Liu Qi, Qin Zhanshan, Wan Jinhai and others had Yu Zhilong's supplementary commitment, they were happy in their hearts, and they also looked forward to taking a good stand in the county. But everyone looked around, there were more than 20 people in the house, there were a lot of big and small leaders, but there were not many soldiers and horses, if you want to attack the city, one is not to know the reality in the city, and the second is that Yu Zhilong has many soldiers and horses, and the main force of this battle is naturally Yu Zhilong's! In the future, after taking the city, the seizure distribution will naturally be Yu Zhilong's advantage, and how to get more oil and water from it can be summed up.

A group of people were thinking here, and finally Liu Zhengfeng spoke: "Today, Brother Yu opened his mouth to replenish the people and baggage for everyone, and all the brothers are inexplicably grateful!" When I go back, please bother Brother Yu and arrange things, I will wait for Brother Yu's message here, and then receive it. The brothers also took this opportunity to draw up a charter, which could be distributed after everyone agreed. Today and tomorrow, our army will rest here, and the scout team will focus on searching for the movements of the pursuing soldiers in the mountains, Liu Qianhu, please arrange a team of men and horses to return, stationed on the mountain ridge that our army attacked just now, hold this line of defense, and report immediately if there is any abnormality! ”

Liu Qi said "promise" and agreed.

"The exploration of the county town will be troublesome to the little brother, if there is a chance, our army must go all out to take the county seat in one fell swoop. In the past few days, everyone has seized the time to rest and recuperate, optimistic about the captives, and when the county seat is laid, the meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and everyone will have a good time for a few days! Everyone laughed and agreed.

At the end of the discussion, Yu Zhilong walked back to the camp, followed by Sun Xing.

Back to the camp, he summoned Zhao Shi, Wu Side, Qian Zheng, Huang Er, Hou Ying, Mu Chun and others, and told them the results of this morning's deliberations.

"His grandmother's, we are working hard, this seizure has not been covered yet, why did you agree to it, my lord? These guys have too much of an appetite! Wu Side snorted loudly.

"yes, my lord, are we easy these days? Not only must they charge ahead, but they must also do their best to restrain their subordinates, resolutely enforce military discipline according to the orders of the adults, and do not disturb the people. This battle was won, and most of the fields, goods, cattle and sheep were given to those farmers, and yesterday's battle, everyone was killed, and the brothers were all fighting at the front, and there was no seed, and even the old brothers in the scout team were broken by two! Isn't everyone wounded? Now it's a good thing, the captives will be divided into three hundred at once, my lord, this battle is all our own effort! Huang Er complained.

"My lord, we used to divide the seizures according to the amount of effort, but this time the leaders really went too far! We have a lot of food, even if we give them some, we also need those silver taels and captives, and now our subordinates are still wearing tattered, and it costs silver to make a lot of new clothes and shoes; Moreover, the adults also ordered that in the future, the collection of grain and grass must be paid, and no white slips should be made; In addition, silver is needed to give rewards to everyone. According to the adults, we won't be able to leave much in the end! Qian Zheng stood up and hastily calculated the accounts for Yu Zhilong, among these old brothers, only Qian Zheng was the most literate and arithmetic, and Yu Zhilong used to treat him as half a housekeeper.

"I know that a lot of money and food have been distributed this time, but everyone is in the same boat, and it is appropriate to support each other. What's more, if there was no big boss waiting in front to attract the attention of Meng Qing's old thief and relax his guard on the back road, we might not have a chance to catch him off guard and achieve such a big result. Of course, we are comfortable eating all the results of the battle ourselves, but what will the other departments think, and what will they do if they need the cooperation of the departments in future operations? ”

"Everyone's vision is still long-term, why make a fuss about these things in front of you? In the future, there will be this white-flour bun, this mule and horse tent, this gold and silver goods, as long as we twist ourselves into a rope, everything will be there. Yu Zhilong comforted.

"Besides, there are so many prisoners, we can't digest them all at once, and the other ministries are really in urgent need of personnel replenishment now, in that case, why can't we separate some of them?" Yu Zhilong continued.

"But nearly half of it was divided at once, which is too much! This was captured by everyone's desperate efforts, and if it wasn't for the final defeat of the opponent's momentum, the outcome would be really unpredictable! Huang Er was not convinced, and wanted to distinguish.

"Just do as your lord instructs, if we take all the prisoners by ourselves, it will be too dazzling, and it will be easy to stiffen the relationship with other ministries in the future, but it will not be beautiful!" Zhao Shi finally spoke, expressing his support for Yu Zhilong. Seeing that Zhao Shi also supported, Qian Zheng, Wu Side and others finally stopped nagging.

Everyone has been poor for too many days, and they have been strapped for money, and they can't wait for a golden egg to fall from the sky and fall in front of them. Yu Zhilong understands the thoughts of these people, if anyone suddenly finds out that he has a large amount of wealth, but has to share a part of it with others for free, this is simply more uncomfortable than being punished! Especially since this person is still a poor bastard!

When Huang Er and Wu Side said goodbye and withdrew, they thought in their hearts that the adults only said that they would divide three hundred people, but they didn't say which ones. As for the mules and horses, the same is true.

Seeing that these subordinates were no longer noisy, Yu Zhilong asked Fang Xuedao, who was standing next to him, "Have you counted the rewards for the past few days?" ”

Fang Xue is now a staff member, and he has the responsibility of post-war statistics, and now the team of the entire behind-the-scenes staff has not yet been built, and everything mainly depends on Zhilong and Fang Xue themselves. Because things are complicated, Fang Xue himself must not be busy, Yu Zhilong recruited five people who can read and count in the team and two villages, and put them under Fang Xue, and now basically the logistics, statistics and scheduling are in charge of Fang Xue and the other six people, and the transportation of grain and food are handled by Gao Shang.

However, Fang Xueliu has just begun to learn to do it, and there is no idea how to complete Yu Zhilong's requirements. Fortunately, Zhilong and Zhao Shi have been in the army for more than a year and already have some experience. Yu Zhilong briefly sorted out a few pages of text according to his own opinions, and finally handed them over to Fang Xue, of course, the text content was dictated by Zhilong and written by Fang Xue. Now Yu Zhilong is only able to read more smoothly, and it is still too difficult for him to write and write articles.

With the help of Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi, Fang Xue and the other six people finally had a general idea of development, the so-called master led the door, and the cultivation depended on each person, these six people were not stupid, and now they were barely competent to do some statistical tasks.

Fang Xuegong replied respectfully: "Yesterday has been counted, according to the reports of the adults of each hundred households, the villains are counted item by item, a total of 832 people were captured in this battle, 357 people were killed, the two thousand households of the Meng thief were all killed, the hundred households were captured four, five were beheaded, and more than 200 mules and horses were also captured, camp tents, flags, and weapons were not counted, and the reward required a total of 3,890 taels of silver. ”

"Whoever captures or kills 100 enemy households will be rewarded with five taels of silver, and whoever captures or kills 1,000 households will be given 100 taels of silver, and the same will be given to those who capture 100 enemy households and 1,000 banners. In the future, you can apply for it sequentially. Yu Zhilong decided to reward those who had made outstanding contributions, and now he has a lot of silver money, which can be rewarded.

In addition, someone in Liangzhuang replied this morning that a total of more than 60,000 taels of silver, money, and banknotes were seized this time, which could be directly allocated to the military. The lord had previously said that the people's livelihood here was poor, and he intended to give Liujiazhuang, Hujiazhuang and the surrounding peasant households two taels of money according to each household, and now the statistics of the number of households in this village have come out, about 2,000 households, and 4,000 taels of money are needed. ”

"Yes, our rebellion is a last resort, and if we want to survive in this troubled world in the future, it is impossible to rebel by killing officials and rebelling on our own, and it is impossible to fight everywhere. I intend to occupy Linqu County in advance, and have a place to survive first, but only a small town is not enough to gain a foothold, and in the future, I will have to seize more prefectures and counties, state roads, so it is impossible to achieve it without strong strength. If you want to have strength, it is meaningless to talk about doing the right thing for heaven or obeying the orders of heaven, the key is to have the strong support of the local peasant gentry, and our army divides the land and property among the peasant households is one of the methods. In the future, you also need to think carefully to see if there are more and better ways to do it, and listen to the ideas of all parties. ”
