Although on the surface, Luo Rucai seemed to be righteous and awe-inspiring, but on the night before Fu Dashan's death, he still quietly went to the cell to visit Fu Dashan, and the two of them were relatively speechless, and finally Luo Rucai poured a bowl of wine, pushed a bowl of meat in front of Fu Dashan, patted Fu Dashan's shoulder and said, "The sky is falling!" It's my brother who hurt you! Don't blame my brother for being ruthless, you can go with peace of mind! Your family, son, brother, and I will take good care of them for you! I won't let them suffer! You can be blind, too! Go down, don't blame me! This time we were wrong, we really can't afford to mess with this Xiao Tianjian! Look, sooner or later, this world will be the world of his surname Xiao! Brother, I'll follow him and see where he goes! ”

Fu Dashan also knew that he had been sold by Luo Rucai, but what could he do? Who let him choose the wrong person, he was determined to go against the surnamed Xiao, but now he has to die, and he died in the hands of Luo Rucai, even if he is unwilling in his heart, there is no way, who let him have a son and daughter to live, after listening to Luo Rucai's words, Fu Dashan knelt down in front of Luo Rucai and cried: "It's the collapse of the sky, not only did he not help the big boss, but he almost hurt the big boss, it is not a pity to die in the sky, and the aftermath will be annoying to the big boss!" After saying that, Fu Dashan picked up the wine bowl and drank it with a big gulp, Luo Rucai didn't speak again, just nodded to him, and turned around and walked out of the prison. （..)

After Fu Dashan was beheaded, the battalion under Luo Rucai's original command was immediately handed over to Gao Shuxian for reorganization, the dismissal of those who should be dismissed, the retention of those who should be retained, and a group of soldiers of the Xingtian Army were added to the camp and transferred to the Lushi County Reserve Battalion on the spot.

Regarding Luo Rucai's treatment of Dashan this time, although Xiao Tianjian didn't say anything on the surface, he was still satisfied in his heart, although this matter was secretly operated by him, conniving at Fu Dashan's arrogance, and then turned his head to clean him up, cut off Luo Rucai's wings, and forced Luo Rucai to follow him honestly in the future, but he didn't feel despicable, who is in power in this world who doesn't play a little cautious, and those who want to achieve great things can't live in small sections, and it is inevitable to sacrifice a group of people for the goal he wants to achieve. And he believes that he will kill more of these people in the future, but as long as he achieves his goal, he will not hesitate to kill as many people as possible.

With Xiao Tianjian's return to Henan, the Xingtian Army in Henan also began to recover again, this kind of rest is very important for the Xingtian Army to improve its combat effectiveness.

After Xiao Tianjian came back this time, he announced a major news in the army, that is, because in the past few years, the Xingtian Army has been conquering year after year, and the territory has been continuously expanded, and there are a large number of seizures in almost every battle, especially after entering Henan, it has conquered more than ten prefectures and counties in a row, and by confiscating the property of the powerful and wealthy gentry, the Xingtian Army has reserved a large number of silver taels, coupled with the various measures launched in the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army, the economic recovery has been very fast, and the problem of military food supply has been initially solved. According to Xiao Tianjian's return to Jinnan this time, he learned from Fan Yutong that the current order is in Jinnan, Xingtianjun's treasury, and he has a reserve of more than four million taels of silver after conversion, and on the Henan side, the silver taels in reserve have basically reached four or five million taels of silver.

Therefore, the current Xingtian Army is no longer as financially embarrassed as it was at the beginning, so Xiao Tianjian discussed with his subordinates that it was time to adjust the treatment of the generals.

In the past, the generals of the Xingtian army could only rely on the rewards of their exploits to meet their needs for money, although this can effectively mobilize the desire of the generals to fight, but after all, they are different from other rebels, mainly relying on looting to meet their financial needs, many soldiers will have families, once sometimes some soldiers will not be able to get bounties, so that some people have a little bit of the idea of not wanting to be soldiers.

In order to balance this issue, Xiao Tianjian has also been thinking about it for a long time, and in a short period of time, he can encourage the soldiers and generals to work hard without taking money in order to protect their families, but sooner or later in the future, the army will have to embark on the regular road, and it is difficult to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army for a long time by relying on such measures alone.

Therefore, when the current financial problems were basically relaxed, Xiao Tianjian still resolutely withdrew from the military salary system.

However, the military salary system of the Xingtian Army is different from the system of the official army, because there is a division between compulsory soldiers and professional soldiers in the military salary system of the Xingtian Army, which is also Xiao Tianjian's reference to the practice of the armies of later countries to a certain extent.

To put it bluntly, compulsory soldiers are every young adult who belongs to the Xingtian Army, and after reaching the age of sixteen, they are obliged to serve in the army as soldiers, which is also the most basic condition for them to survive under the control of the Xingtian Army, so that everyone knows that being a soldier in the Xingtian Army is to protect their families, if they are not even willing to be soldiers, then they and their families have no right to obtain the right to survive and protect in the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army, which is actually more than a year ago, Xiao Tianjian has begun to implement it in the jurisdiction, Therefore, the military salary for these conscripts is only one tael of silver per month, and anyway, the army is responsible for their food and clothing, and it is no problem for them to use these two taels of silver as pocket money.

But for the soldiers who have served for more than two years, if they are willing to continue to stay in the army to do things, then their military salary will be greatly increased, and the salary of each soldier can reach five taels of silver per month, put in this world, with the price of food in the territory of the Xingtian Army, their five taels of silver are enough for them to feed a large family, and there is no problem in begging for wives. If you save money, not to mention the reward for war exploits in a year, you can save thirty or forty taels of silver, and in a few years, even if you are not a little rich, at least there is no problem in settling down and starting a business.

As for the officers above the rank of general, they are all regarded as professional soldiers, and from the general to the division commander, the salary ranges from 20 taels to 200 taels, and everyone can receive a lot of military pay according to their respective military positions.

If this kind of military salary system is compared with that of the official army, it is really not high, but the Xingtian Army does not allow the existence of empty salaries or the fact that the officials deduct the soldiers' salaries, and all the salaries are issued by the personnel directly subordinate to the logistics department in the army, and they are simply not the hands of the officials, so although the military salaries are not high, they can be paid in full to the hands of the generals, and there will be no deductions and exploitation in the middle, so the actual military salaries in hand are not too low.

Once this system was introduced, it was immediately welcomed by the generals, and at the same time injected a stronger cohesion into the Xingtian Army again, think about it, a group of homeless people who have been unable to live, have entered the Xingtian Army, and there are people who eat, drink and wear, although it is a hard exercise, but here it makes people have a head, and now there is pocket money to take, this day is no longer unimaginable in this world, how can the soldiers of the Xingtian Army be unhappy? Therefore, this time the military salary reform is very happy for the whole Xingtian Army, and there is no need to say much about morale.

And Xiao Tianjian went to the armies to do several inspections for this purpose, and went to the soldiers and generals to explain the reasons for the Xingtian Army's military salaries, and the core thing is to explain to the generals that the money they have worked hard for a long time is not his Xiao Tianjian's personal, and these silvers belong to all the people of the Xingtian Army, and he Xiao Tianjian will take the silver for the people and for the people, in short, he will not be like the current imperial court, wantonly amassing money, and will spend all this money on the people's livelihood and army building.

After Xiao Tianjian's propaganda, the soldiers and generals in the army were even more emotional, and they kept cheering at Xiao Tianjian one by one, and the cheers were like rolling thunder, rolling over the earth.

Looking at these soldiers and generals cheering in unison, Xiao Tianjian walked off the high platform with a slight smile and said to the generals standing under the stage: "!" Morale is available, this year will be the year of the decisive battle between us and the current imperial court! Whether it succeeds or not depends on how well everyone does it! ”

The generals immediately shouted loudly with their legs together: "It was for the great commander to die!" ……”
