Chapter 19 Although the country is broken, the mountains and rivers are there
Unknowingly, Wang Jian used Li Yunlong's recruitment routine in the classic anti-Japanese drama "Bright Sword" in later generations, and the most indispensable thing in troubled times is soldiers, and they will give as many officials as they bring back. And Wang Jian also discovered for the first time that he actually had the potential to be a MLM lecturer.
When those wounded soldiers who were about to be swept out of the house heard this, their eyes immediately became fanatical when they looked at Wang Jian, and there were even a few wounded soldiers with broken legs struggling to stand in to show that they could still fight!
Immediately Wang Jian summoned Zhang Youcheng, the city guard of Luanzhou City, who came to be an old man in his fifties and sixties, with a similar face to a traitor and not a traitor.
Wang Jian ordered someone to take out 5,000 taels of silver, and instructed him: "After I leave, these 5,000 taels of silver will be left with you, and you will be responsible for placing these wounded soldiers in the homes of ordinary people, and you will have to eat and drink well to raise them. ”
Zhang Youcheng's face suddenly became happy when he heard that he had taken money to do things and his merits, and he had to know that 5,000 taels of silver were distributed to nearly 500 wounded soldiers, and at least 10 taels of resettlement fees per person. This doesn't include the one or two hundred taels of severance pay on those wounded soldiers, you live in other people's houses, eat other people's people, don't you have a little embarrassment yourself?
But he was not happy for a long time, and gradually showed sadness, and his face was gloomy and he did not speak.
Wang Jian knew what he was worried about, and continued: "Although the country is broken, the mountains and rivers are there, the responsibility is not yours, and I allow you to surrender." Whether it's a prisoner or a thief, you can repeat it as you see fit. I only need you to protect the people of this city, and I can protect my soldiers. I will leave another 1,000 taels for your circulation, or the same sentence, when I return, as long as I see that Luanzhou City is unharmed, you will be a great achievement. ”
Zhang Youcheng can be regarded as completely relieved of his heart, one by one: "The emperor is wise." "For a while, the kung fu was a lot of sycophants. He has no other skills, but the left and right are the only magic weapon that he can save his life in troubled times.
Wang Jian's words changed sharply, and he said murderously: "If I know that you are full of private pockets and secretly cooperating with thieves, I will definitely send people to hunt you down to the ends of the earth, and I will also punish you for the nine clans!" Also, inform those resettlement households that if anyone secretly betrays me, they will also be punished by the nine clans! "Wang Jian didn't really do this, he just used this cruel criminal law in history to scare them.
Zhang Youcheng's frightened neck shrank, and he immediately crawled on the ground and swore to the sky, Wang Jian relieved him a few words and let him lead those wounded soldiers down. This Zhang City Guard is not stupid, he will definitely not betray himself, because no one will be stupid enough to gamble on the life of the whole clan to gamble on the glory and wealth of one person, Wang Jian believes that as long as he does not die, he will not be stupid to sell himself, and he will definitely continue to wait and see, and Wang Jian is Zhang Youcheng to maintain a wait-and-see attitude.
And the other soldiers in the barracks saw that those wounded soldiers really received one or two hundred taels of silver each, and they were all envious of them, completely forgetting that they disliked them not long ago, but now they wished that they were the ones who were missing arms and legs. You must know that usually a family of five spends less than one or two per month, which is enough money for them to eat and drink for a few years.
Wang Jian looked around, and said arrogantly: "Listen to the rest of the soldiers, I will leave for the south tomorrow, and on the day I arrive in Cangzhou City, everyone will have the merit of the dragon, and each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver." Wang Jian's idea is also very simple, first send the blank check to maintain morale, and wait until Cangzhou to talk.
This completely ignited the morale of the entire barracks, and I don't know which soldier shouted Banzai, so the entire barracks "Banzai... Hooray.." The voices came and went.
Wang Jian looked at this formation, and was also very proud: morale, it's that simple. He was also infected by this atmosphere, and he really liked the feeling of pointing out the country and scolding Fang Xuan.
And Wu Sangui looked at the proud Wang Jian, his face was cloudy, he originally wanted to beat Wang Jian: without him Wu Sangui, Wang Jian couldn't play the barracks at all, and wanted to give him a dismount. First asked Ding Lei to disperse the wounded soldiers in the name of the emperor, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the soldiers, but he didn't expect Ding Lei to be beaten, and then his cronies Ma Haiteng jumped out to encourage the soldiers to make trouble for the sake of silver. The serial set he carefully planned instead fueled Wang Jian's authority in the military camp, and he was depressed in his heart at this time.
Immediately, the soldiers returned to the camp happily, and Wang Jian left Cui Dazhuang alone.
"Da Zhuang, can you find your third brother's corpse?" Wang Jian thought of Cui Sanzhuang, who died to protect him, and said with some sadness.
A trace of sadness flashed in Cui Dazhuang's eyes, "Well, the last general has already ordered someone to be buried underground." Then he said in a deep voice: "As long as there is one gasping person in our Cui family, we will swear to avenge this hatred!" ”
Wang Jian silently patted him on the shoulder, and asked about the situation of each battalion, although this Cui Dazhuang is a recruit, but he has some potential as a famous general, and his answer is also leaky, and he knows the Guan Ning army well in just a few days.
"What happened just now is a bit strange, but this salary is indeed a big trouble, and you are the only trustworthy person around me, and there is a big thing for you to do."
"Although the emperor commands, he will never give up."
"A few days ago, there is a secret passage in the back mountain that you are guarding, you are now secretly leaving back to the village to find your grandfather, and find the entrance to the secret passage, there are more than 100,000 taels of silver in Wanli in this secret passage, which can solve my urgent need, you can pick your own hand, I have ordered Shen Sihai of the East Factory to go with you, and you will have a good response along the way."
Cui Dazhuang had seen Shen Sihai, dressed as a businessman, and knew that he was a good hand in business escort, and the stakes were very high, he nodded firmly, returned to the camp and ordered more than 100 people, and followed Shen Sihai to leave the army secretly.
When night fell, the generals who had escaped death during the day were extremely tired, but their spirits were excited, and they were telling their own glory in this battle while camping.
"It's really a pleasure today, I haven't killed so much in a long time."
"Yes, especially the saint is extremely brave, Lao Tzu can boast to future generations, your grandfather and I also had the righteousness of the saint!"
"That is, after this battle, Lao Tzu is no longer a bad seed! In the past two years, there has been a lot of smoke and no peace, and when encountering thieves, they all turn around and run. Lao Tzu is bare-chested grinding, and it's a shame to turn in circles! A soldier said that he couldn't stand the excitement of talking about his unglorious past, and the soldiers around him laughed: "You just practiced the magic skill of the butt, and you specialize in using the butt against the enemy." ”
"Isn't it, but today I, Chen San, have also been a man in a dignified manner, killing five Tartars, as long as there is a saint, I, Chen San, swear that I will never be a deserter again!" All the soldiers around him were in awe, and they all recalled the figure who took the lead on the battlefield.
Wang Jian gradually liked the feeling of ordering troops on the battlefield, he had just finished inspecting the barracks, passing by and hearing Chen San's unashamed remarks as a deserter, he smiled speechlessly, and listened to his oath and was also very emotional: Not everyone who is paid as a soldier has the heart to serve the country, it is nothing more than that the king treats me as a soldier, and I will repay him as a soldier. In short, there will be a nest of bears.
Wu Sangui, who accompanied Wang Jian on his inspection, was very dissatisfied, and the generals were most taboo about this kind of deserter who ruined the morale of the army, not to mention the unashamed jokes.
Chen San didn't expect a joke to make himself in a catastrophe, he expected that this time this was a death, and the soldiers who had experienced countless lives and deaths were also stubborn: "Chen San is not guilty, it was all the generals who took the lead in escaping, if you want to say that you are guilty, it is also the incompetence of the superiors, Chen San is guilty." ”
"You..." Wu Sangui was choked by a sentence and had nothing to say, the arm holding the knife was full of energy, and he didn't dare to kill rashly in front of the emperor without Wang Jian's consent.
Wang Jian gently patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down. Raising his eyes, he beckoned to Chen San and motioned for him to step forward and answer.
Chen San's gaze at Wang Jian, there was a trace of shame in his eyes, presumably his strong words could only block Wu Sangui's mouth, but compared with Wang Jian's heroic pioneer during the day, he was ashamed. He knelt down in front of Wang Jian without a glance, waiting for the coming of death.
"Who are you?" Wang Jian asked.
Chen San didn't expect Wang Jian to ask once, and he was stunned for a while before answering: "Chen San, the centurion of the young general Zuoyingwei." ”
Wang Jian shook his head: "Who are you?" Seeing that Mu Yu's head was stupid, and he didn't have the cleverness of a soldier, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to answer the answer he wanted, so he added: "When was the most glorious moment in your life?" When you think about it, you know who you are. ”
Chen San listened to Wang Jian's question again, knowing that his little life was saved, and he was a little settled in his heart, thinking that the peak of his life was during the day today, and he was born and died with today's saints. Lang Sheng said: "I am Chen San, the centurion of the left battalion of the Guanning Army!" ”
Wang Jian smiled slightly and was very satisfied, this thing is not stupid, if the head of a soldier is stupid, can he still be a soldier? The bones of those who had long since died were gone.
Wang Jian looked around and asked in a loud voice, "Who are you?" ”
No matter how stupid the soldiers were, they knew how to answer, and said, "Guan Ningjun."
"Yes, Guan Ningjun. Remember, you are the robe that lives and dies with me. From now on, the glory of the royal family will shine on your body, and my will will will guide you. Tell me, why did you come to the Guanning Army? ”
"To get ahead." Some soldiers whispered, almost saying that they were trying to eat.
"I wanted to avenge my family, and my family let the barbarians kill me." A Shandong man said sadly.
Some soldiers dared to say anything when they saw that they were familiar with Wang Jian: "I am a farmer, and a group of soldiers bravely passed by my door and arrested me as a soldier." ”
