In the Changbai Mountains.

The smoke curls in the sheep's horn village, and the smell of meat fills the air.

On the barn in the middle of the village, there are 20 cauldrons newly built, and the meat pieces are tumbling in the pots.

Smelling the smell of meat, those county soldiers and villagers were in high spirits.

Luo Cheng inspected the village and inspected the garrison of each regiment and team.

"The march is one by one, and this smell of meat is all shocking." The fourth child followed Luo Cheng to patrol the camp and looked at the soldiers of Xiangyong County who swallowed saliva.

"It's rare to eat meat in ordinary times, and eating meat is to celebrate the New Year, when will you be happy when you are unhappy?"

"If you want me to say, only those who have meritorious service have meat to eat, what kind of meat do those villagers eat."

"They carry grain and rice, and pull ordnance tents, how can they be in vain?"

After turning around, Luo Cheng returned to the Juyi Hall in the village, which is now the temporary military tent of Luo Cheng's pioneer battalion.

"The morale of the brothers was high when they were victorious." Luo Cheng spoke, "The brothers of the scout team will make a meritorious contribution first, Wang Ji Room, remember to write it down." ”

praised the scout team, and Luo Cheng changed his words.

However, although the brethren of the scout team have done a lot of work, there are still some problems. You have broken the enemy and taken the fortress and behaved bravely. But after the breakdown, as far as I know, the scouts were busy snatching the spoils. There were even a few team members who fought with each other, and they were not injured when they captured the village, but they were hung up in order to grab a golden hairpin. ”

The scout team was Zheng Zhao Gui hurriedly stood up.

"Captain, it's me who doesn't teach well."

"However, the brothers have to have some good in their hard work, and this is what they deserve."

Old man Liu came out to speak for Zhao Gui, he used to be a veteran, an old soldier, and he knew that even if it was a soldier, it would be difficult to stop it. Now he is carrying a scout of the county soldiers, and everyone has no food and salary in normal times, so it is not easy to fight, how can he not rob it if he has the opportunity?

Don't grab? That won't win in vain?

You know, even if it is a government soldier, you will rob it when you fight. Grabbing the spoils of war and dividing the spoils of war can be said to be the fierce motivation of the government soldiers.

It's just that after Luo Cheng heard it, he didn't agree.

"Liu Jiaotou, I know that my brothers are all county soldiers and village warriors, everyone usually farms and works, and when they are free, they come to serve in shifts, so they have to bring their own dry food, delay the farm work at home, and do not make money. This is a battle to suppress bandits, and you have to take risks. But what! ”

As he said this, his words raised a few points.

"But if everyone does this, how will this battle be fought in the future? Is it that when the village is invaded, the bandits have not been wiped out, and everyone has thrown down their swords and soldiers to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to grab things? ”

"If during the war, the thief throws some money, silk, gold and silver on the ground, and everyone stops chasing after it, but only picks up the money?"

"Also, if everyone robs a lot, when the army marches and fights, they still have to wear the robbed silk on their bodies, and their waists are full of robbed gold and silver, how can they still fight?"

"Are you going to rape ** women in the future, kill people and set fires?"

This voice was higher than the other, and the faces of Liu Jiaotou and Zhao Gui were not very good-looking.

"We're not bandits, don't be so embarrassed." Zhao Guidao.

"Yes, you don't have it this time, but the more you rob, the more you rob, the second time, the more you rob, the more you dare to do anything in the future, don't say that they don't dare to rape people, kill people and set fires, I dare to say that I really want to connive at them, dare to do anything."

Zhao Gui couldn't figure it out.

"Captain, brothers capture the stockade, is it possible that there is still a mistake?"

"One yard is one yard, work is work, and mistake is wrong. Breaking the enemy and capturing the village is a great achievement. But privateer robbery, which is against military law. ”

"What do you want?" Zhao Gui was also unconvinced and shouted loudly.

"Sit down first." Luo Cheng said to Zhao Gui.

But Zhao Gui stiffened his neck and refused to sit down.

If he doesn't explain this matter clearly, he won't be convinced, and his brothers will also be unconvinced, how will he lead the team in the future.

"I know the situation of the brothers, and I know the thoughts of the brothers, but there must be rules for some things, otherwise it will be chaotic, and this person's heart will be confused, and we will not think about bringing it to the team in the future. You don't want to think that one day your team will become bandits, right? ”

"I'm here to reiterate a military rule, no privateering!"

As soon as this military regulation came out, the officers present were a little unpleasant.

"Don't worry, I, Luo Cheng, am not the kind of rigid person. I'm talking about privateering, but not against the brethren. In the future, it is forbidden to hide war booty and loot without permission. To fight a war and suppress bandits, you must first fight, and after victory, you must clean up the battlefield and collect the spoils of war. ”

"No one shall possess the spoils of war privately, but must hand them over to the public. But don't worry, these loot handed in, I Luo Cheng will not swallow it privately. These will be registered and then distributed to everyone. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces finally looked better.

"How?" Zhao Gui still asked.

"Our meeting today is to discuss how to meet, everyone can say anything, and after the decision is made, it will become an official military regulation, and no one is allowed to violate it."

After all, fighting a war is a matter of life, who will work for you if there is no benefit?

Luo Cheng has long figured out the truth, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, a generation of cattle Zeng Guofan, led the Hunan army to encircle and suppress the Taiping army, they were used as local group training, the court was not paid, to raise the army, but also to maintain morale, relying on the establishment of customs to collect money, as well as looting and raising the army.

The military discipline of the Hunan army was the worst, and after the capture of Nanjing, the money transported back to Hunan was loaded with boats and ships.

It was precisely by relying on this kind of looting that the Hunan army was so daring to fight without fear of death, and finally destroyed the Taiping army.

But Luo Cheng didn't want to learn from Zeng Guofan, because his Hunan army's military discipline was too poor, what kind of murder and arson, burning, killing and plundering, raping ** people, this kind of thing is too much, often after breaking through a city, the arson army robbed for three days.

Luo Cheng allowed the robbery, but it had to be an organized robbery, and after the robbery, it had to be handed over to the public and then divided.

"After the war, it was captured and returned to the public, and thirty percent of the proceeds were given to the soldiers who had made meritorious contributions to the war! What do you think of this one? Luo Cheng put forward the first article.

Everyone thought about it, it was quite reasonable, so they nodded.

"How about taking out another 20% as a pension allowance for the soldiers who died and were wounded in the battle?"

"Reasonable." Zhao Gui also nodded.

Ten out of ten went to fifty percent, and fifty percent remained.

"The remaining fifty percent, two percent will be handed over to the county, and the remaining thirty percent, one and a half will be rewarded for all the soldiers participating in the battle, and one and a half percent will be reserved for military use to purchase food and equipment, can I?" Luo Cheng asked again.

"No problem, I agree." Zhao Guixin was convinced.

The third child asked, "We dispose of the loot like this, and only leave 20% for the top, are we willing to do it?" ”

Zhao Gui's temper came up again, "Let's fight and suppress the bandits, don't take the money and grain above, and hand over 20% of the seizures, why are they dissatisfied?" ”

In the end, everyone agreed on the division of the spoils.

"Then in the future, we will do the same, whoever dares to steal and hide will be punished by military law."

"There is another one, it is strictly forbidden to rape ** people, kill people and set fires, and violators will be executed!" When he said this, Luo Chengyu had murderous intent, he was afraid that he would bring out an uncontrollable army of bandits, and there were some things that had to be set up first.
