Text Chapter 147 Celebration 3
Unlike the joy of everyone and the pain of Wei Yuanwai, Meng Qi, who was standing on the stage at this time, was a little dazed.
On that day, the baggage battalion went to battle, because it was the last to join the battlefield, the collapse of the Yuan army was a foregone conclusion, and the soldiers of the baggage battalion barely encountered much organized resistance, under the leadership of Tong Kui, it can be said that the autumn wind swept the leaves to chase and annihilate the scattered Yuan army.
As a result, Meng Qi and others originally aimed to assassinate Liu Zhengfeng and Yu Zhilong, and they unintentionally inserted willows in the pursuit of the chaotic army, and also captured nine Han soldiers, one of whom was the Han army's Qianhu Daru Huachi, killed one person, and after the war, everyone was rewarded. Meng Qi was awarded the post of chief flag and twenty taels of silver because of his outstanding performance, third class!
Holding the heavy tattooed silver in his hand, Meng Qi was like a dream, he had been in the Meng army for more than a year, and his monthly income was less than one or two.
Yuan history note: 100 military households, 12 guan 6 cents 6 cents, 1 stone of rice. Daru Huachi in Xia County, 17 runs. I thought that the monthly salary of the soldier was no more than three times.
Yuan issued banknotes, at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, one or two silver banknotes were worth two times, and they were always thousands of dollars; In the Zheng period, inflation, four banknotes could not be exchanged for six cents of silver, and the price of one tael of silver was nearly seventy yuan, and one hundred taels was seven thousand yuan, seven hundred thousand yuan.
Meng's army is not a regular Han army, although Meng Qing has a lot of wealth, but of course the soldiers are not as good as the imperial court regulations, fortunately, there are many villagers in the army, and the commanders are less deducted. But compared to the worse rewards of this battle, it is calculated in the Tao!
Not to mention these silver patterns in this battle, Meng Qi also obtained a land deed of ten acres, Meng Qi knew that as long as he wanted, he could choose a piece of land to cultivate in the military merit field outside Linqu City with this land deed. In short, this battle made Meng Liu jump from a white Ding to a person of Xiao'an.
It's not a lot, but considering that it's just a battle, it's a lot of money.
Meng Qi looked at the officers and soldiers in the audience, and the sergeants were eager, with a look full of hope for the future, rather than a greedy look of prying at the sight of wealth. Although they are also full of desire and have great power, the realm is different.
He originally dreamed of rewarding silver, buying land, and redeeming his lover for his military merits, but there is a great possibility of success in this Jing'an army!
Meng Qi, who was in a complicated mood, glanced back at Yu Zhilong, who was looking at the audience with a smile on his face. That day, he hesitated for a moment and did not resolutely follow Meng Liu to rush forward, so that Yu Zhilong escaped, but now that he thinks about it, even if everyone pounces, Yu Zhilong may not have to worry about his life, Meng Liu can succeed by one person by surprise, if everyone suddenly rushes out together, it will inevitably not attract the attention of Sun Xing and others, but I am afraid that he will be beheaded by his personal guards without even having a chance to get close!
It's a pity that this is not my hometown.
Maybe it's a good idea to stay here like this! Meng Qi's heart suddenly popped up with this casual thought, which really scared him. What he didn't know was that several of his companions who were with him at this time had also changed their minds more or less.
In order to reward today's military achievements, Yu Zhilong specially withdrew no less than 10,000 taels of silver from the Fang School, as well as no less than 3,000 acres of land deeds, in order to boost the morale of the army and reap its benefits.
Yu Lan sat quietly in the back row almost the whole time, and a pair of wonderful eyes were mostly placed on Yu Zhilong's back. With her carefulness, it can be seen that Yu Zhilong's movement at this time is still inconvenient, and he is slightly stagnant when walking, which is the result of arrow wounds and knife wounds that have not healed. During the roll call, he pinched his waist with his hands and slightly massaged the swollen muscles.
When Zhao Shi was sutured to the skin of his abdomen by a bone needle the day before yesterday, because there was no medicine such as numbness, he gritted his teeth and endured the pain of piercing the flesh, but fortunately, the wound was not very big, but more than 20 stitches were sutured. Today is a big day for the Jing'an Army, and Zhao Shi and Yu Zhilong have also been insisting on being on the stage, and the two have stood almost straight for an hour.
In addition to these fourth-class merits, there are many achievements that cannot be counted individually, such as the cavalry several times charging and killing, killing at least five or six hundred enemies. In a chaotic war, no one can record what results they have obtained; The same was true of the pikemen's headquarters, where the two armies stabbed each other, and it was likely that the spears of several men stabbed one of them. The archers of the Jing'an Army were even more unable to calculate their personal exploits, and the time for their formation and training was short, and when they faced the enemy, they completely followed the method of shooting to resist the enemy, and all arrows were fired at the same time, only seeking one out of ten.
In the end, these were counted in the collective results of each ministry, and all of them were allocated to each ministry in silver money, and then each minister distributed it independently according to the performance of the ministry. However, all these coins must be given to the soldiers, and they must not be withheld by the chief for any reason, and the minister can only take the equal amount of the two pieces of silver. If the commander has military exploits, there will be other rewards in the Jing'an army, such as Wu Side, Huang Er and others.
The final distribution process must be public, and the whole process is supervised by a person designated by Fang Xue and Mingxiong respectively, and the reward distribution must be given to Yu Zhilong afterwards.
As for those who were seriously injured and lightly injured in this battle, they also received two taels and one tael respectively for war wounded subsidies.
If a fallen soldier has parents, wives and children, a one-time pension of 10 taels will be paid, and other relatives will receive 3 taels of silver.
In the end, all the soldiers participating in the army can get one or two silver, and this reward for the whole army is still Yu Zhilong who solicited Liu Zhengfeng's approval, and was unified by the king of Shuntian in all departments of the Shuntian army. As for the aforementioned rewards, the heads of each ministry will draw and distribute them from their own military funds.
The details of Jing'anjun's reward terms were carefully drafted by Yu Zhilong after lying on the bed for a long time, and then handed over to Zhao Shi, Xie Lin, Fang Xue, etc. to polish and revise.
There is only one purpose, meritorious service will be rewarded, and great merit will be rewarded; The deceased has the funds to pay for the bereavement and can settle his family.
However, in this way, coupled with the cost of resettlement of displaced people, slave households, artisan households, military households and other households in the early stage, almost half of the military funds collected by the Jing'an army before and after entering the city were exhausted, and it can be expected that the cost of reclamation in the later period and the resettlement of those who continue to join will not be small, especially when the autumn is getting shorter, it is also necessary to consider the procurement of winter clothes and quilts for soldiers, and the production of weapons and armor of various departments, which will cost a lot of money and food.
Seeing this huge reward and the estimated investment cost in the later stage, Fang Xue and Xie Lin frowned and asked Yu Zhilong the question of possible green and yellow problems, Yu Zhilong was helpless for a while, so he simply spread his hands and said: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, you go back and think of a way, the living can still be suffocated by urine!" ”
After the soldiers were rewarded, according to the list provided by Xie Lin, nearly 100 servants, Langzhong, Ya Gong and other outstanding performers were rewarded with two taels of silver each, in order to show their effectiveness in rescuing the wounded soldiers in wartime. Because there were too many of them, they could only go on stage twenty people at a time, and unlike the former, these people did not have saffron to wear, but they received the silver reward on the spot.
You can get silver without fighting, such a good thing is so happy that these people can't get together, the embarrassment of trembling on the battlefield and carrying the wounded was completely forgotten by them, and the people in the audience are also talking to each other, I heard about this yesterday, many people thought it was a rumor, but there was really such a thing! I knew this was the case, and I signed up for it myself! Who doesn't have the strength to do so?
Looking at the white flowers on the stage, many people in the audience are hot, and they will grab a place next time.
At the end of the celebration meeting, Yu Zhilong spoke, the content is nothing more than that as long as the soldiers of all departments are sincerely united and used to kill the enemy, a lot of military rewards in the future will inevitably be indispensable, and today's battle only proves that all departments of the Shuntian Army have the strength to fight with the Yuan court, and if they want to restore the Han family, this is only the first step in the long march.
After the meeting, it was originally planned to arrange a few big dramas for various departments of the Jing'an Army, but just to celebrate their achievements, Liu Zhengfeng, Liu Qi, Wan Jinhai, and other departments had already invited all the opera troupes in the city, and they were all performing big dramas in their respective camps for the past few days.
In order to motivate the soldiers, Yu Zhilong ordered a few in the song, such as Gao Wenxiu's "Double Dedication", which tells the story of Li Kui going deep into the enemy's camp alone, robbing prisons, and killing traitors in the government; "Mianchi Meeting", it is said that Zhao Guowen and Lin Xiangru put the country first, and the military general Lian is brave to repent and unite to resist the enemy; As for "Liu Xuande Goes to Xiangyang Meeting Alone", it seems that it is the most popular among the generals, and even Wu Side, Ji Xiancheng, and Qian Zheng can hum a piece of "Yu Lusu".
"Thinking about myself, talking about myself, from the beginning of chaos, cultivating the field incognito Yiyin, gathering fireflies to read the car Yin, will be responsible for some buyers, Huaiyin begging Han Xin, Taigong fishing Weibin, Wu Jun of the military staff, Confucius starved in Chen, Yan Hui is poor and guarded, Wang Linggu wine to Bin, like the title bridge is angry, Xiao He was born, Fan Hao butcher was lucky, Gaozu was originally a commoner, Guangwu lived in villages and towns. Since ancient times, the sages of the dynasty, the general outside the Guan, the enthroned Ming group, the founding hero, who was not born in the white house and the cold door? On that day Su Qin, how many times did he have a golden seal in his twins? Thousands of ambitions, a jump, must be a general, set meritorious service! ”
Although Yu Zhilong didn't know much about the tune, he also knew that this song was about the fifteen princes and famous ministers from humble to prosperous in ancient times.
Whether the Jing'an Army can succeed in the future has a lot to do with these generals, as long as they have the intention of making contributions on the battlefield, Yu Zhilong is not afraid that they will not follow him.
Today's reward is over, and the rewards of the generals are different, and it is time to find an opportunity to think about how to take care of the interests of these subordinates and match the relationship between the generals.
Yu Zhilong thought about it, after the war, the people's livelihood had to be planned quickly, in the early stage, just divided the fields and cattle and sheep, although it won the hearts of the people, but with the current farming ability of small farmers and small households, it is slow and difficult to quickly resume production, and I have to think about it!
Today's celebration meeting lasted for more than an hour, and when the people dispersed, the whole army had a feast full of oil. Then the opera was set up on the high platform, Yu Zhilong listened to a few plays, saw that the sun was still high, and there was something in his heart, so he left his seat and returned to the tent, humming softly in his mouth: Drink the celebration wine today, and the ambition is not rewarded. Come to Japan, show your skills, and write spring and autumn with blood.
That night, the Jing'an barracks lifted the curfew in the first half of the night, allowing officers and men of all units to move around freely before the third watch, but they were not allowed to leave the camp without an order. Scout Yan Wei and a few surviving brothers found Lao Jing, "The shopkeeper, I'm happy, the little one is here to ask for money!" ”
"What did you say? Lao Tzu is not a wife, where does the money come from! Lao Jing was in a good mood and knocked on Yan Wei's skull.
Today's war has received so many rewards, compared to the hard work of the previous years!
"You kid is lucky, you also got a first-class, come here, let Lao Tzu see, he used to be a lazy boy, but now he has become a hero! How nice it would be if your father and mother were there! ”
After speaking, Lao Jing's eyes couldn't help but moisten slightly.
After hearing this, Yan Wei paused slightly, and then said with a smile: "The master will praise his own disciples, where is the kid so good." But today, I got these rewards, and I have nowhere to use them, no, I am here to honor the master! After speaking, he took out an oiled paper bag from his bosom, which contained today's reward and a field deed.
Yan Wei is an only son, both parents died, and it was Lao Jing and his wife who raised him as an adult, and the two were more in love with father and son. "And mine." The rest of the young people also took out their own rewards and handed them over to Lao Jing.
Most of these original guys have not started a family, and there are naturally fewer filial piety people who have a family business, but the number is also about half of the reward.
Lao Jing was stunned for a moment, holding these oil paper bags, his heart was surging. Since defecting to the Jing'an Army, only six or seven of the more than 20 men who have been fighting are still alive, and the lively scene of the previous New Year's Festival is no longer there. Fortunately, these disciples read the teacher's kindness, have the heart of feeding, and do not prosper their daily cultivation.
