Chapter 180: Money Works
Zhang Xiucen, Zhu Min and other officers of the Western Army were stunned.
They never thought that Liang Shanjun would deal with them like this, and at that moment, Zhu Min couldn't help but ask, "Lin ...... Lord, is this true? ”
"Seriously, my Liang Shanjun has always been true to his word, why shouldn't it be true?" Lin Chong nodded with a smile.
At this time, the surviving more than 700 Western troops were disarmed and held together, listening to Lin Chong's talk about the good treatment, and thinking of the invulnerable big shield of the Liangshan saber and the sword that sharpened iron like clay in the previous battle, they were all a little moved.
"Master Lin, you said that Liang Shanjun is well paid, how generous is it?"
"This depends on the specific situation, first of all, the settlement fee is 30 yuan, the commander and deputy commander make the settlement fee 20 taels of gold, and then all those who join the Liangshan Army must first go through two months of recruit training.
After passing the training and becoming a soldier, ordinary infantry and naval troops are paid five times a month; The cavalry is seven times a month, and the back army and the heavy axe battalion, the special service battalion, and the special operations battalion have additional subsidies, and if they are not qualified, they can only be cooks......
The most important thing is that our Liangshan Army has high welfare, and every battle has a share of capture, meritorious service rewards, and rewards for killing enemies...... You can ask, how much did each of them share in the last time they beat Zengtou City? ”
Listening to Lin Chong's patient words, more than half of the soldiers of the Western Army were a little moved, and then they listened to Li Tianyan and Bian Xiang, these two battalions of cavalry said that the last time they attacked Zengtou City, each of them received an average of at least three hundred guan, and their breath became urgent.
it! In this way, it is counted as a year in the Liangshan Army, and it has been ten years in the Western Army! And the equipment of the Liangshan army, as well as the war horses, are really good!
More than eighty percent of the soldiers of the Western Army were immediately excited, and they immediately expressed their willingness to join the Liangshan Army with great enthusiasm.
For this situation, Lin Chong is actually quite speechless, it still works with money, I said a lot of justice in the rebellion of the Liangshan Army before, these people ignored it, and when they said that the treatment was rich, they were excited one by one.
But think about it, the status of the warriors of the Song Dynasty was extremely low, most of them were arrested or forced to be soldiers, and many of them were prisoners as soldiers, so they were looked down upon for a long time, discriminated against and scolded as thieves and soldiers.
Such soldiers, naturally, it is impossible for them to have the consciousness of sacrificing their lives to serve the country, and the Western Army's fight against Western thieves is more due to the century-old blood feud with Western thieves, as well as the protection of their homeland, and the reason why the Great Song Dynasty devoted all its financial resources to support them.
However, fortunately, Lin Chong has not relaxed his patriotic education in the army since he was training the army.
In the current Liangshan Army, it is not only based on personal martial arts and individual soldier quality, but if they are not qualified in discipline, obedience, and ideological understanding, it will be difficult for even the soldiers who are strong in combat to be promoted.
Therefore, in this case, I am not afraid that these veterans will not be able to transform well.
Soon, according to some statistics, there were 623 officers and soldiers of the Western Army who were willing to join the Liangshan Army. There are also 152 people, such as Zhu Min, one of the two commanders of the Western Army, who may not be optimistic about the future of the Liangshan Army, or may have family ties that worry that they will be implicated, and insist on going home.
Lin Chong didn't care about this, and with a wave of his hand, he asked Lu Fang and Guo Sheng to send them the passage fee, and then sent them away.
As for the other battalions of the Hebei Forbidden Army under Gao Lian's command, they were all taken prisoners, and after being escorted to Liangshan, after two months of prisoner of war reform and ideological education, those who passed the examination would be absorbed into the Liangshan Army, and those who were slightly worse would be auxiliaries.
And pick the rest can only do hard labor, just when the Liangshan army is preparing to build a large number of construction projects outside Shuibo, what is most needed is manpower, and these free labor forces do not need to be used in vain.
After dealing with the matter here, Lin Chong immediately ordered someone to escort Gao Lian, Yin Tianxi, Wen Wenbao, Su Wenhui and others to the city of Gaotang Prefecture.
At this time, there were two battalions of defenders in the city plus thousands of people to defend the city, and when they saw Gao Lian being arrested, the whole army was wiped out, and the two battalions of the Hebei forbidden army panicked, and the people who assisted in defending the city immediately opened the city gate without saying a word.
At this point, the Liangshan army defeated the city of Gaotang Prefecture without blood.
After that, the process was naturally similar to that in Yunzhou City and Zengtou City, and immediately after the public trial, Gao Lian, Yin Tianxi, and a group of scoundrels in the city who had taken refuge in them as thugs and did all the bad things for them, all of them were taken to the entrance of the vegetable market and beheaded.
The heads of Gao Lian and Yin Tianxi were also hung high at the gate of the city to show the public, and the people in the city really clapped their hands for a while, and many people also set off firecrackers to celebrate.
However, in order to reduce the impact area, Lin Chong still asked Xu Guanzhong to write a notice and post it at the gate of the city, saying that the execution of Gao Lian was only because Gao Lian relied on Gao Lian's forces to do a lot of evil, causing the people's resentment to boil, and Liang Shanjun killed him for heaven.
Liang Shanjun will not kill Taishou after breaking the city indiscriminately, isn't it okay to know Yunzhou before? Therefore, in the future, when the Liangshan army comes to the city, as long as they do not do too much evil, they can open the city and surrender, and those who have bad deeds, as long as they reform themselves and no longer harm the people, the Liangshan army can also open the net.
After that, the treasury was opened, and every household was given food and cloth, and there was a routine conscription.
Not to mention how the people of Gaotang Prefecture applauded, elated, and enthusiastically joined the army, nor how shocked Zhang Xiucen and other soldiers of the Western Army surrendered, and how much the Liangshan Army gained from attacking Gaotang Prefecture this time, but said that Gao Yu was not at ease after sending the golden iron lion Cheng Ziming and Li Yuhou, and soon sent a second wave of subordinates.
As a result, the people who came were still halfway, and they heard the local people talk about the Liangshan army's attack on Gaotang Prefecture, and when they hurried to the city of Gaotang Prefecture overnight, they saw the heads of Gao Lian and Yin Tianxi at the city gate and the notice at the city gate.
So the people rushed back to Tokyo overnight to inform Gao Yu of the matter, Gao Yu was naturally furious, and immediately entered the palace to tell the official Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji was also furious, and the monarch and the ministers issued a holy decree together to urge the big sword Guan Sheng and the double whip Hu Yanzhuo The two people and horses acted immediately, filled the water as soon as possible, stepped on Liangshan, captured Lin Chong alive and sent it to Beijing to eliminate the hatred in his heart!
However, the assembly of the army, as well as the ironclad chain horses under Hu Yanzhuo's command and other military weapons, after all, it will take time, and before Hu Yanzhuo's soldiers and horses can be pulled, Zhao Ji and Gao Yu received another piece of news that made them angry.
"Thieves dare! I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill him! Command ......"
Zhao Jizheng, the artist emperor who has always been gentle and elegant in the Genyue Garden, is like thunder, his eyes are red, and his beard is open, like a crazy beast to choose people to eat.
And what angered him was Liang Shanjun's declaration of war against him and the document he sent. 21010
