Chapter Eighty-Eight: Monthly Money

In the past, the monthly money was set to be very high, and it was originally to buy horses for thousands of dollars, attracting young people in the vicinity to go up the mountain to join the bandits.

But now that Liangshan's reputation has been played, coupled with the increase of soldiers and horses several times, it will naturally not be as high as before, and it can't be so high!

Logistics soldiers do not have monthly money, but they can work to earn a certain income.

The reserve army also did not have monthly money, and if they wanted to earn money, they had to join the regular army.

Ordinary soldiers, swordsmen and spearmen, only have one tael of silver a month.

These ordinary soldiers were basically recruited by the officers and soldiers who had been captured in the past.

These officers and soldiers were originally forbidden to the army, and when Gao Yu was the commander of the palace, the land of the military camp was built into a private house.

This is not counted, and the forbidden army is regarded as private service, regardless of training, and is in charge of contributing to his private business.

If a soldier has no skills, then he can only pay to hire craftsmen instead. If you have no money and no skills, you can only find a way to make a living.

So don't talk about monthly money, it's good if you don't post money.

Now I am very happy to hear that Liang Shanyue can get a tael of silver.

But when they heard that the elite soldiers had three or four taels of silver in the month, they were all very envious.

In the subsequent training, many people have strengthened their training, looking forward to joining the elite soldiers.

Cang Liao knows etiquette, food and clothing are enough to know honor and disgrace!

I can't even feed myself, let alone feed my family. Such a soldier is too busy to feed his family, where will he be in the mood to train and improve his combat level.

The soldiers of the firearms battalion in the elite soldiers now only have to operate catapults, and do not need to face the enemy head-on, but are more used as coolies.

So the monthly money is not high, only two taels.

If muskets and artillery were used in the future, it would be very different.

3 taels of heavy infantry, 3.5 taels of sailors, 3.5 taels of crossbowmen, 4 taels of light cavalry, 4.5 taels of heavy cavalry, and 4.5 taels of Tiger Guards and Tiger Ben Army.

After calculation, the Liangshan army will cost 35,100 taels of silver a month, and if you add the food expenses, it will cost about 50,000 taels a month, not counting the clothes and weapons of the officers and soldiers.

From ancient times to the present, the army has been a monster that swallows gold!

To feed such an army, Shi Jin said that there was a lot of pressure.

You can only do everything you can to make more money!

After spending so much, it is natural that there will be a return.

A piece of flat land near the Liangshan Water. More than 20,000 Liangshan troops are training in five plum blossom formations.

In the morning, the army first conducted training with the corps as a unit, training the soldiers' standing position and physical fitness, training joint and cooperative operations, and improving personal martial arts.

In the afternoon, the formation training of the whole army was carried out, and Shi Jin stood in the middle of the Chinese army's formation, waved the order flag in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Cone march, prepare to attack!" ”

The drums roared, and the herald galloped away on his horse, shouting loudly all the way: "Cone the formation, prepare to attack!" Cone formation, ready to attack......"

With the sound of drums, and the orders of the heralds arrived.

The commanders of each corps immediately shouted, "Cone the formation, prepare to attack!" ”

After hearing the order, the flag bearer behind the main general will carry the flag and run towards the position specified in the formation.

When the other soldiers saw the flag running, they immediately followed it in a certain formation.

The 2nd Corps acted as the arrowheads, the 3rd and 4th Corps on the left flank, the 5th and 6th Corps on the right flank, and the 1st Corps behind the 2nd Corps.

After the soldiers ran to the designated position, each corps was to be arranged in a triangular formation according to the requirements of the cone formation.

The six triangular corps then formed a large triangular formation.

Once the formation is set, the soldiers will clench their weapons and advance to the beat of drums and flags to engage the enemy.

The whole army was lined up, and Shi Jin looked at the letter incense beside him that was already burning the third one.

He immediately shouted angrily: "No, this assembly speed is too slow. It must be assembled before the incense stick is burned! Again! ”

Shi Jin, Zhu Wu, and Lin Chong were training the formation.

Wu Yong also knew that he didn't know much about the formation, so he didn't join in the fun.

He, Zhu Gui, and Gongsun Sheng were busy compiling nursery rhymes.

"No, this nursery rhyme is too straightforward!"

"This nursery rhyme is too difficult to fit in!"

……

Just as Wu was planning to draw the court's attention to Fang La, the court was also discussing the matter of Liangshan.

After Yeumi was released, he first ran to Jeju City, and when he heard that Lord Cardinal was in Yunseong, he hurriedly rode over again.

It's a pity that Tong Guan has already returned to Beijing at this time, and Yumei has not seen him.

Tong Guan exterminated the Dry Tree Mountain, but he knew that there were too few soldiers and horses now, less than 20,000 people, and the soldiers and horses did not have an advantage.

He needed more soldiers and horses to have the confidence to destroy Liangshan.

The Song Dynasty has always had strict control over the army, and the movement of this army must be carried out by the emperor's order.

Although Tong Guan was very powerful, he did not dare to violate Song Huizong's bottom line.

He knew that he was not a civil official, and unless a civil official committed rebellion, he would only be exiled and would not be killed.

If he Tong Guan is disgusted by Song Huizong, he is afraid that he will not even be able to save his life.

Tong Guan rushed back to Tokyo with Song Jiang and others.

Since becoming the prime minister, Tong Guan has directly played the Ming Song Dynasty Huizong, completely ignoring the imperial court.

In the Wende Palace, Tong Guan stood under the stage and said: "Qiqi Shengshang, Weichen enters Liangshan to suppress the thieves." The first stop was victorious, killing more than 600 enemies. It's a pity that the thief leader escaped and hid back in the water. Weichen only has a horse infantry army under him, and without the help of a sailor, he can't be encircled. In addition, the weather is hot and hot, and many of his soldiers and horses are not adaptable, so Weichen can only temporarily retire from the army to recuperate. I implore the Holy Majesty to dispatch the Jiangnan Navy Division to assist, as long as the land and water go hand in hand, and the boats and horses go together, Weichen will definitely be able to exterminate the gang of thieves in Liangshan! ”

Song Huizong heard that Tong Guan had killed five or six hundred thieves in Liangshan, and the thief head hid in the water to survive, and suddenly Long Xin Dayue said: "Good, good, good, in this case, Ren Qing chooses to choose a water master, and must eradicate those thieves!" ”

Tong Guan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Song Huizong agreed to transfer troops. Hurriedly bowed down and shouted, "Thank you! ”

In the past, in order to suppress those Qing officials and grasp power, Tong Guan cooperated with Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng and other "five officials", and the relationship was good.

But with the rise of status, especially Tong Guan is now the inspector of the school, and Liang Shicheng is the inspector of the school, they have all achieved the rank of minister, and they all want to monopolize power, where may they still be as close as before.

In the outer court, Tong Guan is fighting for power with Cai Jing. In the inner court, he and Liang Shicheng, who is also a eunuch, are vying for power.

After Tong Guan left, the eunuch Liang Shicheng knelt in front of Song Huizong. ()
