Chapter 393: The Dividends of War
After singing with a black face, Wang Yue sang with a red face again, and he smiled and said: "This time I came to Anqing to suppress bandits, this official came with silver, the amount is not much, only one million taels, I don't know if you are interested in earning this silver?" ”
When I heard of the silver, and it was a million taels of silver. The Ming army generals present, including Gonggong Liu, had red eyes.
"Tell me, Lord Wang, how do you earn this silver?"
"That's right, Lord Wang, tell me quickly!"
"Lord Wang!"
"Lord Wang!"
One million taels is not a small amount, it can be described as an astronomical amount, can these poor and crazy Ming army generals not be excited?
Wang Yue pressed his hands to calm them down, and then said: "This official needs people, a large number of people. There were now 400,000 of them, and these people fell on them. ”
"Regardless of whether it is a young man or a woman, a man is five taels of silver, an old man is a tael of silver, and a child is three taels of silver. Those who are still nursing also have half a tael of silver. ”
"But all the displaced people who are captured, as long as they are sent to Changfeng Sha Port, the official will have both people and goods. The official only accepts the living, only the homeless, and if anyone pretends to be a good citizen and causes a dispute, the official will hold him responsible. ”
This is what the passenger and cargo ro-ro ship does, and if the capacity is insufficient, it can also send a telegram to the trading branch left behind in Shanghai, and they will contact Shen Tingyang in Chongming to send a fleet over.
This price is much more affordable than the imperial court's reward of silver according to the head, the imperial court only recognizes those thieves, but women, children and the elderly do not recognize it. Now that the court can't open the pot, the silver is often difficult to cash, and the deduction is serious. Wang Yue pays cash directly here, and it is very easy to choose.
What exactly Wang Yue wants these people to do is no longer what they care about, but the silver is the focus.
Liu Bin laughed and said, "Lord Wang, a word is a certainty!" The miscellaneous business came. ”
The generals were also overjoyed, but they didn't expect the bandits to come up with a deal, and the elderly, children and women could also exchange money.
Wang Yue said again: "As long as the rogue soldiers you and others capture are not extremely evil, they can also be exchanged for silver." This officer is also the left attendant of the military department, and the number of thieves caught in the credit book will not be less than yours. ”
In addition to seeking wealth, these Ming army generals also asked for merit, and Wang Yue's move was equivalent to relieving their worries.
A million taels of silver were waiting for them to earn, and the general was obviously in high spirits.
Most of this silver has to fall on these officers, and it would be nice for the soldiers to have some soup to drink.
The Tiance Army is different, the Tiance Army basically records merit according to the collective, and the difference between soldiers and officers is not so big. Although the military salary of ordinary soldiers of the Tiance Army is five taels, they have captured a lot in previous wars, and the rewards they have received even exceed their own military salaries.
Not only do the front-line combat troops have silver rewards, but the left-behind soldiers of the Tiance Army in the rear also have material rewards equivalent to one-third of the frontline.
The Tiance Army is an enviable group in the starting point city, and the saying that a good man should not be a soldier has no market in the starting point city. The total income of an ordinary soldier of the Tiance Army is basically equal to the income of a teacher, which belongs to the highest paid group.
The military families of the starting point city have corresponding policy preferences, and there are additional benefits for the New Year's holiday. If it is a family member of a military martyr, it is even more remarkable, in addition to the monthly pension, holiday benefits. In addition, if the immediate family members are minors, the starting point city will provide all the maintenance and education expenses before they become adults, and then arrange work for them after they become adults.
At present, there are only a dozen families of military martyrs in the starting point city, which also includes the martyrs of the security army, which shows that the risk of serving as a soldier in the Tiance Army is extremely small.
The regimental training unit was reorganized into a public security army, and the military salaries and other benefits of the soldiers of the public security army were equivalent to sixty percent of the Tiance army.
So it's no wonder that people envy the Tiance Army, a soldier's annual income is about one hundred and twenty taels or more, and he also has food, shelter and clothing, which is really a great thing in Daming.
Wang Yue felt that this was normal, except for his consideration of driving the economy of the starting point city and driving the popularity of the local people, the Tiance army was actually a very lucrative activity.
In the Korean War alone, the Tiance army brought back a wealth of no less than five million taels of silver. Korea was beaten by the Manchus and only one mountain city of Nanhan remained, and the whole country was purged and looted by the Manchus, and in the end at least half of it became Wang Yue's spoils.
In fact, the biggest profit in North Korea is those minerals, which will be wealth in the future, and of course Jeju Island and the Incheon Port Concession will also be wealth.
Therefore, the high salaries and rewards of the Tiance army should be deserved, and in the future, the Tiance army will use rifles and bayonets as the starting point to get more wealth.
Taking advantage of the high spirits of the generals, Wang Yue invited them to dinner, leaving them to have dinner on the boat before sending them away.
Because the eunuch Liu Bin wanted to move with the Tiance army, Wang Yue simply let him live on the ship. This is exactly what Liu Bin wants, he has already experienced the comfort of this ship, and he can just stammer. Wu Zhi came out of the palace, and his status is not low.
Wang Yue asked Liu Bin to move with the army because although the eunuch was greedy for money, he had more eyes than those generals, and it was convenient to call him to run errands. And this Liu Bin is not cowardly in fighting, which is quite rare among eunuchs.
When Wang Yue summoned the generals on the ship to discuss military affairs, Feng Yuanshan's fifth regiment had already shot Li Wanqing with the advance of the Liukou, and fought a skirmish, Li Wanqing was defeated and retreated.
said that it was small-scale, this is what Feng Yuanshan thinks, but Li Wanqing doesn't think so.
"Marshal, our army has more than 3,000 casualties, and the old battalion alone has more than 1,000 casualties! The army was indeed fierce that day, so let's withdraw. Li Wanqing was about to cry, his old battalion was only 3,000 people, and he lost half of it after coming into contact with Feng Yuanshan's regiment, can you not feel distressed?
Zhang Xianzhong glared at him fiercely, and shouted: "If the soldiers are gone, they can be recruited again, three-legged toads are not easy to find, and two-legged people are everywhere." It's just a small defeat, don't affect the morale of our army. ”
Shooting the sky, Li Wanqing blinked, and said in his heart, isn't this a strong word? This soldier is so easy to recruit, what can those hungry soldiers do?
Looking at Zhang Xianzhong's face again, thinking about Zhang Xianzhong's character, Li Wanqing was not aggrieved, and left under the pretext of rectifying the defeated army. He is the weakest of the rogues here, and if he is not careful, he may be swallowed by others.
Don't look at Zhang Xianzhong just now said that it was a small defeat, in fact, his heart is already a little hairy.
The 1,500 troops of Zhang Tianlin's cavalry battalion are said to have been almost wiped out by more than a dozen people from the Tiance Army, which is too unbelievable.
It can be determined that the dozen or so people are the Tiance Army because of the characteristics of the Tiance Army described by Luo Rucai: flower skins, continuous firecrackers, strange cars, and so on.
