Early the next morning, the departments trained normally, came to the hall, and saw the battle merit books handed over by the departments, in order to facilitate statistics, Yang Xuan specially drew a table to facilitate everyone's records. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a brief look, there was no big problem, and he immediately rushed to each brigade with the treasurer to distribute the bounty.

There is not much silver reward, but Yang Xuan, who is from modern times, of course knows that this can't fake others, seeing the silver reward, everyone is in good spirits, and everyone is talking and laughing.

Bai Zong and Qi Zong shouted the name of the recipient, distributed the amount, and the treasurer weighed it with a small scale next to him, and then handed it to Yang Xuan, and then asked the other party about his merits in this battle, and then transferred the silver taels to the other party.

Since this era used broken silver, unlike silver dollars in previous lives, it was very troublesome, and four or five treasurers were busy and still couldn't keep busy.

After the silver reward was distributed in the morning, it was time to meet Ma Chao and the nearly 100 riders who belonged to him in the afternoon.

Because Ma Chao was the leader of the horse in the past, after seeing him return to the official army, most of his subordinates also followed Ma Chao to return to the official army.

Before and after, there were more than 100 cavalry, so many cavalry was originally quite happy, but when they were pulled out for training, Yang Xuan was even more disappointed.

Many people have similar riding skills to Yang Xuan, they can ride horses, but they can't ride horses and gallop wildly, they can't shoot arrows on horseback, and they can't fight freely on horseback.

Looking at such a cavalry, Yang Xuan's face became more and more serious, and he needed to know that according to the treatment of the official army, this cavalry can be similar to the personal guard, the monthly salary of ordinary cavalry is 2 taels of silver, 3 taels of small flags, 4 taels of total flags, and 5 taels of 100 totals.

Gathering everyone together again, Yang Xuan began to speak, from now on, he would train with the cavalry for an hour every day.

A cavalry bureau was formed, with a total of 60 people, a small flag for every 6 people, and a general flag for every 20 people.

After three months, if you can't ride your horse freely, if you can't shoot your bow and arrows on horseback, if you can't fight freely on horseback, whoever you can fight freely on horseback will be fired.

If the standard can be met, the military salary will be immediately raised to 2 taels of silver, and if the standard is not met, the barracks will be cleared.

The crowd was in an uproar, some complaining bitterly, and some claiming that they would be able to achieve it soon.

Yang Xuan immediately put it to the test, and those who are excellent in riding and archery can be promoted to the rank of small flag commander first.

There are more than 100 cavalry in the whole world, and there are only a few people who are really good at riding and shooting, so it can be seen that although there are many cavalry, the cavalry and archery are really unsatisfactory.

For these few people who are good at riding and archery, Yang Xuan promoted them to the rank of small flag commander on the spot as a reward.

In addition to rewarding meritorious personnel on the battlefield and forming a cavalry bureau, the most headache is the group of prisoners.

The sneak attack on the ancient city of Yunshan was successful, and a total of more than 500 people were captured, most of whom were local villagers who had been taken captive, displaced people from other places and people who had been coerced, and some habitual offenders.

Considering that many people are coerced by the local rioters, and considering that everyone mainly eats with mixed food, in line with the principle of killing less and killing carefully, after consulting with Fan Mingshan, Wang Guangxian, Guo Chonglie, Yao Zhijiao and others, it will be dealt with absolutely according to the different sources of the local rioters.

For Uncle Wang, the people who have been coerced from this county, everyone has a family, and some have land and land, and they will all be unconditionally released, so that they can return to their homes to farm, so as not to cause burdens.

Local vagrants, scoundrels, or people from other places who have been coerced in the army are now all used as hard labor in the army, and after the fighting has ceased for a while, they either carry out farming or pay travel expenses to return home.

For those habitual bandits, if they are easily released, they may become thieves again, and these people are temporarily used as hard labor, and when the fighting has stopped, they are all cultivated.

Those who do not obey the discipline and who are usually the most heinous offenders will be sentenced to death after a public trial.

…..

Early in the morning of the third day, Yang Xuan was preparing to gather troops and horses to go to Longjiao Mountain, and the scouts came to report, hearing that the official army had successfully attacked the ancient city of Yunshan, Yao Tiandong, who was in charge of Yao Huang, knew that the general trend had gone, and led his troops to escape to Bazhou overnight.

The official army counterattacked in an all-round way, and the Sichuan commander-in-chief Liu Jiayin and Cao Xun led their troops to pursue the local rioters all the way, occupy Yingshan County, and prepare to attack the Liukou Laochao Bazhou at any time.

After receiving the news, Zeng Ying, the general of the naval army, led his troops to land quickly, and Yuan Tao, the king of the local tyrant who was still entrenched in the county seat of Xiangru, led his troops to flee away, and the official army took advantage of the situation to occupy the county seat of Pengzhou.

After seeing that the other departments were all settled, and he did not reap any benefits, the general Wang Chaoyang led the main force of his department up the Jialing River and pursued the Liukou all the way.

In order to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, Wang Chaoyang sent letters repeatedly, asking to lead his troops to accompany him in pursuit of Yuan Tao's troops.

At that time, the various departments had not paid military salaries for three months, and it was rumored in the army that after occupying the ancient city of Yunshan, Wang Chaoyang transported four boxes of treasures from the ancient city, and there were many rumors in the whole battalion.

Everyone crossed the Jialing River from the Longmen Ferry, chased all the way, slept in the open air, walked the mountain road for four days, and when the troops arrived at Yilong County on this day, the local rioters had already withdrawn.

Li Shikai and other local squires went out of the city to greet them, and Wang Chaoyang led the soldiers and horses on the right side of the central part into the city after accepting a few fat pigs and a thousand taels of silver.

The men slaughtered pigs and sheep, and everyone ate meat and drank wine at the same time, cheering unpassionately to clear away the bad luck of the previous months.

At the feast, some people drank more and more freely, while others drank more and more unpleasantly, especially many of the veterans.

This general, Wang Chaoyang, is a hereditary officer, who first spent money to sell the general, and since he became a general, he only wants to make money.

At present, corruption and bribery are rampant in the army, and money is needed to settle big and small matters, and the officers and men have long complained.

It is rumored in the army that this Wang Chaoyang not only eats empty salary, but this attack on the ancient city of Yunshan will move all the four boxes of gold, silver and jewelry of the local tyrant back to his big account, in just a few years, the family wealth is tens of thousands, and the rich party is on the one side.

On the other hand, the soldiers under the tent can only be described as sad.

Since August, the monthly military salary has not been settled, the arrears of salary in the late Ming Dynasty have become commonplace, in the past, the war Yamen dared to owe, and now the local tyrants have been defeated, and there is no need to fight anymore, who knows that the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse will be paid?

Ordinary soldiers can tolerate it, but those veterans are not like this, as soldiers eat food, it has been the same since ancient times, your turtle son has a lot of money in his own family, and we, ordinary soldiers, have not received military salaries for several months, and we have already complained.

The general soldiers complained, and those who were born in poverty, such as the small flags, general flags, and hundreds of generals, were even more angry.

Bribery is rife in the army, if you want to be an official, if you want to be promoted, you need to give bribes and gifts, and these poor small flags, general flags, and hundreds of generals have no money to give gifts at all, so no matter whether you have made meritorious contributions on the battlefield or not, there is no hope of promotion anyway.

Everyone drank on the street, the more Liu Bao and others drank, the more they drank, the more it was not a taste, three days ago there was a letter from home, the old father was sick in bed, there was no money to get medicine, and he had been worried about this matter for several days.

Several people came to Wang Chaoyang's table and arched their hands: "My lord, as the saying goes, there is hard work without merit, brothers have been fighting fiercely for several days, when will the arrears be paid?"

Seeing these troublemakers again, Wang Chaoyang practiced martial arts by himself, and he didn't raise his eyelids and scolded: "Military salary, military salary, you ask Lao Tzu for military salary all day long, you ask Lao Tzu for it, who does Lao Tzu ask for?"

The governor's yamen did not distribute it, and you are owed, and Lao Tzu is not also owed. ”

If it had been counted down like this in the past, everyone might have already dispersed, but today everyone drank wine, and they were all bold, especially Liu Bao, the general banner, and said angrily in his heart: "My lord, who is this person and whom, how dare we compare with adults?"

The adults are generals, with a lot of money and a lot of wives and concubines, and those of us who are poor soldiers are now sick in bed, and we have no money for treatment. ”

Although Wang Chaoyang is very rich, he hates others when he says that he is rich, and these soldiers mention this, either explicitly or implicitly, accusing themselves of eating empty salaries and accusing themselves of corruption and bribery.

Suddenly stood up from the table, pressed the handle of the knife with both hands, Wang Chaoyang said angrily: "Lao Tzu is rich, but it is left by Lao Tzu's father."

Whoever made your turtle son not have a good father, he deserves to be tired and poor. ”

Although drinking alcohol strengthened their courage, when they saw Wang Chaoyang angry, everyone was quite timid and did not dare to speak.
