Chapter 252: Hold on to the bold
Walking in the Changbai Mansion military camp under the Antler Pass, Luo Cheng was also overjoyed when he looked at the mountains of seizures.
"Can you really swallow all of these things?" Wei Zheng is still wearing a Taoist robe, with a Taoist bun on his head, but he doesn't hold the dust, but has a horizontal knife around his waist, which always feels a little nondescript, but Wei Zheng does his own thing and doesn't pay attention to the eyes of others at all.
"Of course it's impossible to swallow them all."
Luo Cheng shook his head.
This harvest is huge, not to mention others, the people arrested here alone are scary enough, more than 3,000 thieves and bandits have been captured, and there are more than 8,000 fugitives from Yanhu, so many people are not three melons and two dates, which is bound to attract the attention of countless people.
Of course, they have a small Changbai Military Mansion, and it is certainly impossible to monopolize it.
Luo Cheng had already made an arrangement plan along the way.
"Giving 500 heads and 500 captives to Lujiao Pass can be regarded as rewarding their landlords for their hospitality, and it is also to make up for the loss of cutting down one of their brigade commanders and losing more than 80 of their town soldiers."
Well, well.
Luo Cheng plans to send 2,000 bandits to Zhang Xutuo, although these bandits are from Douzigang, Hebei, but after all, they are bandits, and they are sent to Zhang Xutuo, whether Zhang Xutuo takes these people to ask for credit, or acts as a slave of the county soldiers, this is Zhang Xutuo's own business.
Then there are 8,000 fugitives left, and these people will not end well as usual.
After all, they are people who voluntarily abandon their nationality, especially now that the world is not chaotic and the control of the imperial court is still relatively strong, the punishment for them will not be light.
"Give 1,005 to the county, 15,000 to Zhangqiu County, and the remaining 5,000. 3,000 were given to the soldiers and soldiers of our garrison as slaves, and the remaining 2,000 were left in the military mansion as slaves in Tuntian. ”
Thus is the division of man and head.
As for the rest of the money, salt grain, etc., there is another division.
He will take out some money to deal with the Shangguan of Qi County, some yamen in Daxing Capital, and pay homage to some of them everywhere, and then spend some more money on Weiwei Temple, let them insert a team for Changbai Mansion, and help them arrange to build a batch of ordnance first. Even the Taifu Temple has to be taken care of, and it is necessary to buy some good military horses from them, especially good horses for heavy riding.
Luo Cheng is bold, although he has seized a lot, he believes that as long as the upper and lower points are good, they will still be able to keep the big head by themselves.
In these years, the bold are dying and the timid are starving. Moreover, he did not snatch these things, but took them from the hands of thieves.
"I am going to select five or six hundred people from the fugitives to serve as our auxiliaries for this northward journey."
This time to suppress the bandits, Luo Cheng 600 soldiers, in the end still lost some, about a dozen killed in the battle, more than 20 disabled, Luo Cheng has sent someone to Zhangqiu to recruit people to replace them. In addition, considering the long journey to the north and the fact that he carried a lot of heavy grain and grass, Luo Cheng planned to simply pull an auxiliary battalion.
When the soldiers arrived in Zhuo County, they could be disbanded according to the situation and let them return to Changbai Mansion.
Wei Zheng secretly calculated in his heart that if Luo Cheng could really swallow most of the harvest this time, then the strength of Changbai Mansion would be really amazing.
Not to mention that every soldier can get a little rich, let's just say that the Changbai Army has so many money and grain slaves, and the foundation can be thin in the future? If you can really open up the joints of the various yas in Daxing, Changbai Mansion may really be able to pull up a hundred armored cavalry, a hundred Mo sword soldiers, two hundred light cavalry and other elites like Luo Cheng's plan.
Even with so many slaves, if something really happens, you can be armed right away.
This Luo Cheng doesn't seem to be a person who is willing to be just a Sima, not to mention that now it seems that he is a Sima of the Qipin Mansion, but he is running Changbai Mansion as a private person.
At night.
Pigs and sheep were slaughtered in the barracks, and there were many livestock seized this time anyway, so you can eat as much as you want.
When eating a large piece of meat, Luo Cheng announced that the first reward would be given.
Every soldier who went to war was rewarded with a large sum of salt, grain, money, silk, slaves, and even livestock.
This reward was not all, but only the first batch, but even the least of them were divided among a few buckets of salt, a few stones of grain, and five pieces of money, and dozens of horses of silk, and three slaves.
After hearing this reward, everyone was a little sluggish.
The reward was too rich, and they couldn't believe it, although everyone secretly calculated how much they could get along the way, but they didn't expect to be able to share so much.
Of course, that's only the minimum amount of reward, and of course there are additional rewards for some meritorious ones.
And for officers such as Duvowe, the rewards were even more generous.
Du Fuwei twice made a pioneer in the enemy camp, and made great contributions, and he received five stones of salt, one hundred stones of grain, another hundred pieces of money, two hundred horses of silk, and twenty slaves.
And Luo Cheng, who led the team, of course, was the most, he didn't want to take the most, but the generals said that he had to take the most, so he got fifty slaves alone, as well as two hundred pieces of money, three hundred horses of silk, and ten stones of salt and three hundred stones of grain.
Even Wei Zheng, a temporary clerk who joined the army halfway, received one stone of salt and ten stones of grain, plus twenty yuan and thirty horses of silk and five slaves.
Looking at these things assigned to his name, Wei Zheng couldn't laugh or cry.
Happy is naturally happy, but he is a bachelor and an old man, and there is no place to put it.
But in the end, he still accepted it happily, this is a reward, everyone has a share, he is also a member of Changbai Mansion, so he should naturally accept it.
Wei Zheng, who had received a large reward, was in a good mood and drank a rare drink.
"Aren't you a Taoist priest, and you still drink?"
"Whoever is a priest can't drink, but a monk doesn't drink." Wei Zheng took another sip of wine as he spoke, "This wine is a little worse, in fact, my father used to be very good at making wine, and he passed on to me the secret method of Wei's family brewing when he was a child. ”
"Okay, I'll have to taste Wei's house brew then." Luo Cheng responded with a smile, and then looked at Wei Zheng, "Is Mr. willing to stay?" ”
Wei Zheng also turned his head to look at Luo Cheng.
"It does feel good to stay here, and now unless you drive me away, I really don't want to go."
"That's good, it's too late for me to keep Mr., how can I drive Mr. away."
In fact, after getting along with each other these days, Luo Cheng found that although Wei Zheng has been a Taoist priest for more than ten years, he is by no means a monk who is single-minded outside the world, on the contrary, Wei Zheng understands the world very well, and even knows the format of official documents. What he lacks most in his current camp is not a fierce general, but a literati like his second brother-in-law, Wang Ziming.
In a military camp, in fact, these literati are inseparable. Moreover, there are all kinds of literati in the barracks, such as military advisers who are responsible for giving advice, staff members who are responsible for dealing with money and food merits, and even literati who are responsible for military discipline disputes, and literati who help him draft correspondence with all parties.
Wei Zheng is not only able to give advice, but also is very familiar with the format of official documents, and having him stay to help can greatly reduce Luo Cheng's burden, of course he can't ask for it.
What's more, history proves that although Wei Zheng has served the six masters all his life, he is a real prime minister. Of course, such a character has to find a way to stay, but he deliberately thickened the reward given to Wei Zheng before, otherwise, he would not have been able to get so much when he just entered the camp.
"At that moment, please ask my husband to help me write a letter to Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and Zhang Yichen, as well as my tutor Zhang Juncheng, explain the situation here to them for me, and ask them to help us get some things up and down."
Wei Zheng was not polite, nodded in response, "Okay, I'll write it when I get back, and I'll show you when I'm done." ”
