Chapter 20 Confiscation and reward are not contradictory

In the early morning, there was a layer of mist hanging in the sky, and after a night of fierce fighting, the camp and baggage were very damaged, and after the great defeat of the local tyrants, although everyone tried their best to extinguish the fire, many things had already caught fire and could not be extinguished at all. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Although the official army was defeated in the end, it was only a tragic victory, and while annihilating more than 300 local tyrants, the officers and soldiers paid the same number of casualties.

Yang Xuan was able to turn defeat into victory, and Yang Xuan made great contributions, not only leading his troops to counterattack and kill the number of local tyrants up to 200, but also successfully counterattacking, turning defeat into victory, and was promoted to general.

Everyone congratulated one after another, but Yang Xuan didn't say a word, with a straight face, and asked people to tie up four soldiers, five men, and eight soldiers to serve hard in the army.

When the army counterattacked, in order to ensure the progress of the army, the men, hard laborers, and a small number of soldiers were ordered to clean up the battlefield in the back.

And these soldiers, men, and hard laborers actually filled their pockets and secretly hid silver taels, which caused the public indignation of the soldiers in front.

The military song "Three Disciplines and Eight Points to Attention" has all seizures to be returned to the public, and now it is openly violated, if this trend is long, I am afraid that there will never be peace in the future.

Now seeing the more than ten soldiers who were detained, Yang Xuan didn't say anything, with a wave of his hand, several soldiers rushed over, their pants were pulled out, and they were pressed on the bench one by one to hit the board.

After fifty whips, a soldier was pulled back, Yang Xuan walked to the front, lifted the placket and asked, "How many silver taels are hidden in the end?" ”

The other party was covered in dirt, and the blood was all over the place, and when he saw Yang Xuan asking, he hurriedly replied: "My lord, the little one is damned, he really only hides such a little silver tael." ”

Yang Xuan put down his shirt and suddenly said viciously: "You are still quibbling, do you dare to make a military order, if it is exposed again, then take your head to sacrifice the flag, can you?"

The other party hesitated slightly, and was immediately pulled out and pressed down on the bench again and given twenty whips.

All of a sudden, the cries resumed, and the beaten people cried hoarsely and cried incessantly, and did not dare to hide the slightest more, and took out the hidden silver to fill the trophies.

Seeing this terrifying scene, the surrounding soldiers knelt down one after another, thinking that this was the first time, hoping to forgive these people's sins.

Yang Xuan was unmoved, sat on top with a straight face, and after the law enforcement was completed, he stood up again and said: "Brothers, everyone is an official soldier and a law enforcer of the country, if it is still at the level of bandits and robbers, it is really an official bandit family."

Our officers and soldiers are different from bandits, the officers and soldiers all eat the imperial grain, and the imperial court and the local yamen will pay the military salary and military food on time, although we are now in arrears for two months, but that is the arrears of the imperial court and the yamen, and we are eating the imperial grain.

How did the imperial grain come from, of course, it was His Majesty the Emperor, the imperial court, and the local government raised it, but how did they raise it? Of course, it came through the collection of Tian Fu, Ding Fu, and the three salaries that everyone hates now.

From this point of view, we soldiers not only eat the imperial food, but also eat the military salaries and military rations that the common people have worked so hard to raise.

Many of our officers and soldiers have been recruited from the army, and many of us have been farmers for generations, so of course we should be clear about this truth. ”

Everyone looked puzzled, and Guo Chonglie asked again and again: "My lord, everyone understands this, but in the past, the army was seriously corrupt, and the distribution of seizures was even more seriously unfair, so the soldiers would secretly hide the seized silver taels." ”

Yang Xuan shook his head and said: "Guo Chonglie, you're welcome, everyone didn't understand this truth at all, or they didn't seem to understand it, but they thought they understood, so they would do such a thing as doing something like hiding the silver two privately."

Don't be unconvinced, listen to me.

We are the ones who eat the emperor's food, and it stands to reason that we should protect the people. The Liukou don't have the imperial food to eat, and they live on looting, so they must be crazy to loot, I think everyone thinks this is good, right?"

Everyone nodded one after another, this is too natural, and the government is also educated in this way.

Yang Xuan clapped his hands, and the two captured rogues were brought over, and once asked, the rogues were far from what everyone imagined.

Generally, the rogues go out to rob together, and the head of the house is divided into large shares, and the general rogues are divided into small portions. However, it is completely different for big gangsters like the local tyrants who run rampant in the prefectures and counties, and only a few of the seized money and grain are taken out to reward everyone, and the big head is used as cottage property.

Everyone was shocked, shaking their heads one by one, looking puzzled.

Looking at the confused crowd, Yang Xuan smiled and said: "Everyone, we are all very proud, everyone eats imperial food, and they are all officials and soldiers, how can they not be as good as Liukou?"

Let's think about it, if everyone is like these scum, brave and dare to fight and kill in front of them, kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and there are these scum in the back to fill their pockets and secretly put the seized money and food into their own purses, if everyone knows, how can everyone go into battle and kill the enemy with peace of mind.

After killing the enemy on the battlefield, everyone probably will not kill the enemy like crazy, but kill one, immediately cut off the ears (in ancient times, the number of enemies killed was calculated by the number of ears), rummag through the purse, and look for better weapons, so not only is it worse than the rogue robber, but also often delays the fighter, I am afraid that in the end it will be defeated by the rogue Kou. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked ashamed, but in the past, there were many cases of officers being greedy for ink and money, and if they did not solve the problem from the system, then the soldiers would inevitably be unconvinced. Unbounded News

In addition to Liang Sina's silver helmet and silver armor to be given to the general Wang Gui, the other weapons captured were put out and let the battlefield meritorious personnel go to select them one by one, and each person could only choose one item.

Chen Yingzong, the general manager of the front bureau, and Guo Chonglie, the second general flag commander, were the first in terms of military exploits, and the two of them each picked a war horse, and the other meritorious personnel went in turn to choose what they liked.

But the strange star Liang Si didn't have that choice, seeing that everyone was like this, Yang Xuan asked knowingly, looked at everyone and asked: "Brothers, as the saying goes, swords are given to martyrs, and horses are given to heroes, this yellow horse looks very good, there are many people who love horses present, why don't you choose this war horse?" ”

Chen Yingzong arched his hand and said: "Mr. Yang, this time I can turn defeat into victory and make great contributions, of course this BMW needs to be given to you." ”

Yang Xuan waved his hand again and again and said: "No, I used to be a scholar, and I didn't ride a horse, so you gave me this horse, isn't this out of my embarrassment?" ”

Everyone admonished one after another, but Yang Xuan had no choice but to accept the yellow horse.

The leftovers are either given to other soldiers as standard weapons, or sent to the armory workshop for rerepair.

After disposing of the weapons, and then the money taels were captured, and a total of more than 300 taels of silver taels were pulled out from the local tyrants, plus the discarded by the brother troops, so there were as many as 500 taels.

One hundred and fifty taels were given to Chen Yingzong in the front game, one hundred taels were given to the middle game, and the remaining two hundred and fifty taels of silver were owned by the left game.

According to the different merits of the war, the higher ones are divided into 3 taels, the general participants are 1 tael and 5 yuan, and the men and support soldiers and horses are divided into 1 tael, so that a total of 200 taels are divided, and the remaining 50 taels are used as a provident fund and are under the control of the department.

Three soldiers are selected by each bureau, and a total of 12 soldiers in the whole division form a soldiers' committee, which is responsible for supervising these silver taels. (The Red Army originally had soldiers' councils)

……

Seeing that private hiding was not allowed, some soldiers were initially quite resentful, but seeing that Yang Xuan was able to lead by example, especially after selecting some good people as the soldiers' committee, these people felt even more respected, and turned to support this initiative unconditionally.

In order to control the situation, after giving away a pair of silver helmets and silver armor (worth more than 100 taels of silver), Wang Gui agreed that Yang Xuan would take the left bureau out as a quid pro quo, and another complete bureau would be transferred to supplement it.

After the peaceful separation, Yang Xuan immediately rectified the left division and downsized it.

In the past, a division consisted of four bureaus, one bureau consisted of three general flags, and one general flag consisted of three sub-flags.

There are no staff in the army, there is no langzhong, and there are no fixed heralds, which is completely different from what later generations understood, and many generals who lead troops to fight are also quite troubled.

But Yang Xuan is now only a battalion-level commander, there are thousands of generals above, staff generals or something, and he doesn't dare to make big changes at all.

Due to the phenomenon of empty salaries in all departments of the Ming Dynasty, but due to the fact that there were too many Yong soldiers in the left division, after eliminating the Yong soldiers, they could only be organized into one division and three bureaus, and each bureau was not yet full of members.

This is unexpected, although there were exams for recruitment in the past, but in the era when good men were not soldiers, it was just a formality, and some people who did not meet the physical standards also became soldiers after a little relationship.

But now it is different, except for those who are sick or injured, all the soldiers are evaluated, all those who do not meet the standards are brushed down, and more than 30 old and weak soldiers are brushed out before and after, which is the first fire to take office.

After the first fire, the second fire was immediately followed, that is, the reorganization of the left division.

According to the plan, the division includes the general general, the assistant, 2 staff officers and 2 langzhong, plus 3 small banners (10 people per small banner), a total of 36 people.

One of the Guardian Banners is the Tiger Squat Cannon Flag, including 3 Tiger Squat Cannons.

1 small firearm flag, mainly responsible for guarding.

1 small flag of daring to die, mainly responsible for reconnaissance and other special operations missions.

Each bureau was also reorganized, with one general flag (12 people) for every three small flags, one bureau for every three general flags (37 people), plus some hundred generals, secretary generals, Lang Zhong, and heralds, so that a total of 116 people.
