Chapter 223: Aftermath

"In this battle, the enemy captured the casualties of our army", the staff officer first recounted the results of the battle, and then began to report the seizures, "Up to now, the number of seizures has been counted: 3,769 taels of gold, 56,486 taels of silver, 489,675 taels of copper coins, about 9,000 stone of grain, and more than 100 pigs and sheep; 800 pounds of gunpowder, more than 3,000 knives and guns and other weapons, and more than 50 horses; In addition, more than 100 women who were tied up by bandits were rescued from the mountain, and other data are still being counted and are expected to be completed tomorrow. ”

"What a fortune this time! That's enough money for a while! As soon as the staff officer closed the paperwork, the officers below were in high spirits.

Chen Jialuo listened attentively, but fortunately he didn't hear anyone discussing how much silver should be rewarded after the war, whether it was the Qing army. The Ming army or other feudal armies, after the war, it is a fixed process to reward the army with silver and silver, and if there is no silver reward for winning the battle, there will even be a danger of mutiny; What Chen Jialuo wants to establish is not a feudal army, and today's European army has gradually changed from a feudal army to a modern army, and even if his own army is not as good as the modern army, it cannot be worse than them in any case.

"Tell me, everyone, how should I spend all this money?" Chen Jialuo knocked on the table and asked after they calmed down.

As soon as he talked about this venue, he became silent, and seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Huo Qingtong stood up and said, "Regiment commander, this time our army has won a great victory, but there are still casualties ↘, I suggest that a sum of silver be taken out as a pension for the fallen soldiers, and at the same time choose a good cemetery to bury them; If someone is injured and can't make a living, we have to raise them. ”

"This is the proper meaning, I have already said the pension money before, and I will send it to their families after verification! By the way, their family was exempted from money and food for another twenty years. If there are children who are willing to join the army, they will be given priority; By the way, the silver must not be sent out at one time, we still send someone to the door every month, and it must be sent to the immediate family members of the sacrificed soldiers, if anyone dares to stretch out their hands on these silver, they will not be spared! ”。 Then Chen Jialuo explained to them the reason for this move, most of the soldiers of the Red Flower Society came from the countryside, and at this time the rural clans were powerful, these sacrificed warriors left orphans and widows in the village, if they suddenly got a large sum of silver, I am afraid they would get into trouble, plus Chen Jialuo has seen many cases in later generations of people who have become rich and contracted bad habits and quickly returned to poverty, and he knows that it is not a good way to send money directly! Of course, there is another reason that Chen Jialuo did not say, and the direct distribution of silver can make the family excited for a few days, but they forget it after a long time. If the water is long-term, it is equivalent to tying the family to the chariot of the Red Flower Society, even if it is just to get silver, these families will show their support for the Red Flower Society.

"It's still the head of the regiment who thinks far-reaching." , With Huo Qingtong taking the lead, others also began to speak freely, all of them were the elites of the Red Flower Society, and some things that were not suitable for outsiders were also said here in a grand manner, "We have such a large amount of money now, and we should step up recruitment!" Wait until we train 10,000 elite soldiers. Where in the world can you go? ”

"Well, the expansion was planned; Next, let's recruit 2,000 people first. After waiting for 2,000 people to practice, let's recruit another 2,000 people! If there are more, Fuding is estimated to be unable to accommodate it! At that time, it is time for the footsteps of the Red Flower Society to step out of Fuding and move towards the wider world.

"Regiment Commander, according to what you said in class, the number of soldiers we have now far exceeds the establishment of a regiment, should we be reorganized into divisions next?" , a Red Flower Order officer from the Green Battalion made his own proposal.

"Huh. Don't be embarrassed, you should be rewarded for winning battles! Chen Jialuo said with a smile, "After you go back, the matter of upgrading to a division will start immediately, and the organization department will consider it comprehensively according to your performance in peacetime and this operation." That's right. In the future, all officers above the company level must join the Red Flower Society, and if your subordinates have good seedlings who are skilled in business and have passed the ideological test, they may wish to be introduced to the Red Flower Society, but the ugly words come to the front, if these people commit crimes in the future, the referrer will be jointly and severally liable! Chen Jialuo has begun to gradually transform the Red Flower Society, and in his plan is that the Red Flower Society should develop from a loose party organization to a well-organized party with lofty ideals, so that China will not lose in the competition with Europe.

"Commander, what should we do with these knives and guns? I just went to see it below, and those gunpowder are of different quality, and there are many miscellaneous weapons, so I'm afraid they are not suitable for our army! ", the staff officer who had just reported the data asked.

"Divided into two batches and sent them to Ma Chaozhu in Henan and Wang Lun in Shandong respectively! Since it is useless for us to take it, it is better to give it to others, the most important task at the moment is to overthrow the Manchus, and at this stage we should unite all the forces that can be united! As for after the fall of the Manchu Dynasty, if they are still alive and can understand current affairs, it is not impossible to give them a false title.

After answering a bunch of questions, everyone asked fewer and fewer questions, and just as Chen Jialuo was about to announce the end of the meeting, Huo Qingtong asked here, "Leader, what should I do with those rescued women?" ”

"If there is a family member, send it", Chen Jialuo only reacted halfway through the words, now it is the Qing Dynasty with the most serious ideological imprisonment, and it pays attention to starvation and death, and these women enter the bandits' den and come out alive, even if their families are happy, I am afraid that they will be taken in the power of Yulu to let them commit suicide, Chen Jialuo sighed, "Put them in the cottage first, and then ask them what their plans are when they calm down?" If they are willing to go home, let them go home, if they don't want to go back, we will find a way out for them, and if they are willing to stay in the local area, contact the iron works to find some suitable workers to marry them back; If they don't want to stay locally, there are also many workers in the textile factory of Madang's family in Zhejiang Province for them to choose from. At present, it can only be like this, there are many young and strong people in the ironworks, and Chen Jialuo gives good treatment, but Fuding has more men and fewer women, and many workers who have reached the age have not yet been settled, so they probably will not discriminate against these hard-working people!

"That's a great way! I'll arrange these people! Huo Qingtong took the initiative to ask for help, and Chen Jialuo agreed to her proposal considering that it was convenient for her to communicate with these people as a woman.

"Since everyone is fine, we will return to camp early tomorrow morning; After you go down, you will report the list of meritorious service, and in a few days we will hold a celebration meeting! (To be continued......)
