Chapter 32 Casualty Compensation System

Seeing the more than 300 Heavenly Kingdom brothers who died, but no one showed sadness and weeping, Feng Shaoguang remembered that Hong Xiuquan stipulated when Yong'an revised the "Book of Heavenly Rules", "Ascension to heaven is a good thing on the head, and it is better to be happy than to cry." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAll the old bad rules are gone, but the sacrifice of food and tea to the emperor is sued to God. It was also decreed that the brothers who ascended to heaven should not be buried in coffins, but should only wrap their bodies in silk cloth and other things, and go directly into the ground. It is no wonder that in later history, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was digging and burning coffins everywhere all day long, and even the coffins that had been buried for several years had to be dug up and destroyed.

Isn't that sick? Cousin Hong had nothing to do all day, so he was thinking about how to contradict the real world, it seems that he failed to take the four exams, and the blow to him was too great, and he felt a shadow in his heart. It's a pity that there is no such thing as a psychiatrist in this era, otherwise he could have been treated.

We, the Taiping Holy Army, must not do such a thing that disgraces the hearts of the people! Feng Shaoguang secretly made a decision.

Looking at these dead brothers, Feng Shaoguang was still a little sad, after all, they were all living people a few days ago. Fortunately, however, something immediately stimulated him to forget his sadness and begin to get excited. It was Lin Fengxiang and Zhou Shengkun who brought the news that made him have to be excited: in this ambush, in addition to annihilating the invading Qing army, a large number of Qing army materials were also captured.

The specific statistical work of the seizure was arranged by Zhou Shengkun, the deputy general of the Holy Army, and the result did not come out until midnight.

Fifteen wrought iron cannons were captured, and although the wooden frames of six of them were blown up, they were just inconvenient to move, and the effect of killing the enemy was still the same. This sub-mother cannon is majestic, in the Kangxi Dynasty, but it was considered to be a firearm, except for the Longxing land where the Northeast Eight Banners were stationed, the green battalions in the rest of the places were not allowed to be equipped. Liu Changqing also took advantage of the death of the Zhenghong Banner Ulantai and the dispute among his subordinates to sell weapons, so he exchanged the weapons from the firearms battalion under his command.

Let the captured more than 800 usable shotguns, and more than 100 damaged ones, most of them should still be usable if they are repaired.

The most crucial seizure was nearly 100 baggage trucks, which contained about 15,300 catties of gunpowder alone, and the rest of the three heavy iron cannons of General Shenwei, 400 large and small cannons, and more than 30,000 lead bullets. There are more than 3,000 pieces of knives, spears, rattan cards, more than 500 fire pots, and 40 boxes of rockets.

In addition, there are more than 300 pieces of iron helmets and iron armor, dozens of green satin and red satin flags, more than 1,000 sets of red-hearted and white-edged gowns, 100 tents, 217,300 taels of silver, more than 800 taels of rice, and 30 taels of salt......

After reading the long list that Zhou Shengkun brought, Feng Shaoguang suddenly thought of a song that he often sang in later generations: "No guns, no cannons, the enemy made it for us!" "Haha, this Liu Changqing Admiral Liu is really a good transport captain of my Taiping Holy Army! It's a pity that he let him run away this time, otherwise, he would definitely give him a big hug to show his gratitude!

With this batch of weapons and money, the weapons and equipment of the Holy Army have been upgraded to a higher level, and the military strength is also stronger, so that it can capture more weapons, money and food. Hey, Feng Shaoguang suddenly found himself in a state of obscenity, and couldn't help shaking his head, the main thing is that he is too poor, and when he gets a little capture, he is so excited that he goes to heaven, it seems that his self-control is still not cultivated enough.

"Brother Shengkun, have you cleaned up the Qing demon captives and the demon soldiers who were killed in the river valley? Also here? ”

"Back to the Holy King, they are still cleaning up. Although I borrowed more than 20 people from the equipment battalion and the baggage battalion, only 3 of them were literate, and there was no one who could keep accounts, so it was a little slower. Zhou Shengkun on the side replied distressedly, for being appointed and dismissed by the Holy King as the deputy general of the Holy Army, such an important position, which can be regarded as a promotion by leapfrogging, he is naturally very grateful, and wants to do a good job in the management of the Holy Treasury. It's just that there are not many literate people in the Taiping Holy Army, and those who can manage accounts and calculate are even rarer, so some can only be counted by him in person, which is really difficult for him.

"Brother Shengkun has worked hard! In this way, I will let Guanlan and Xiangcai assist you, hurry up and clean it up as soon as possible. By the way, for the 300 brothers who ascended to heaven in this battle, some bereavement pensions were given to their families, and the 200 brothers who could only serve as the tail of the card after being seriously injured should also be compensated with some property. Seeing Zhou Shengkun looking at him with some doubts, Feng Yunshan continued to explain: "Since the Holy Sect has been revised and improved, some of the treatment regulations of the sect members and the soldiers of the Holy Army will naturally also be improved. will be different from the old Taiping Heavenly Kingdom before. I will ask Guanlan to assist the Shengkun brothers, that is, as soon as possible, I will set a rough standard for how much money and property I need to compensate for the bereavement and give me a look. ”

As soon as he heard Feng Shaoguang say that he would give out his belongings, Zhou Shengkun couldn't help but persuade: "Holy King, the sect members ascended to heaven for the Holy Sect and the Holy Country, that is their honor, and there is no need to compensate for it, right?" Besides, although there were many captures in this ambush victory and the last time Daozhou City was broken, now the number of the Holy Army has increased greatly and the consumption is also increasing, and the Holy Treasury is actually not rich. ”

"Shengkun, you can persuade this king like this, proving that this king is not wrong! You're a worthy Saint Vault, but you're not a good Saint Brother! ”

Feng Shaoguang ignored Zhou Shengkun, whose face was flushed with what he said, looked in the direction of the river valley with his own eyes, and said loudly: "The reason why my Holy Sect worships the Emperor of Heaven is because the Emperor of Heaven protects all of us without discrimination, and treats us as his sons and daughters. Now that my brother is dead, I am orphaned and widowed, and we will naturally support him. It is natural to compensate with some money. Otherwise, all day long brothers and brothers, when encountering things, but not looking like brothers, what other holy army soldiers are brothers and fight for us? ”

Maybe I felt a tightness in my chest. Feng Shaoguang said to Zhou Shengkun apologetically: "Brother Shengkun, I'm not targeting you. If the soldiers of the Holy Army knew that the Qing Demon could sympathize with the demon soldiers who died in battle, but our Holy Army was unsympathetic and only punished but not rewarded, what would they think? ”

"Before you followed me into the Holy Church, you were a businessman. How can you only play the abacus in front of you? Think about it, if it is rewarded, the soldiers of the holy army will have no worries, and everyone will naturally compete for the first place in the battle, and they will be able to clear more demons and capture more property, and when the time comes, I am afraid that your holy treasury will be busy. ”

"Shengkun is terrified! Sheng Kun was dull and short-sighted, if it weren't for the Holy King's mention, he wouldn't have imagined that there would be such a joint in it. Dangerous big thing. Zhou Shengkun was originally a smart person, and when he heard Feng Shaoguang say this, he immediately understood that the Holy King not only wanted to buy the hearts of the army, but also wanted to break the old system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and said busily: "The Holy King can rest assured, Shengkun will definitely list the compensation standards for bereavement compensation as soon as possible." ”

Early the next morning, Feng Shaoguang slept late last night, was sleeping soundly, and was woken up by Zeng Guanlan, who turned out to be a few fine workers sent to the east bank of Xiaoshui by the fine work camp to send news. The 2,000 Chenzhou soldiers under the command of Sun Yingzhao, the chief soldier of Yongzhou Town, had arrived in Ningyuan, but for some reason, they had been stationed outside Ningyuan County and did not march in the direction of Daozhou.

When Feng Shaoguang heard the news, he fell into deep thought.

Right now, because he came to this world, starting from avoiding the death of Lingyidu, he has instigated the normal development process of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, resulting in the whole world being a little different from the history of the previous life. He also couldn't figure out the intentions of Sun Yingzhao, the chief soldier of Yongzhou, could it be that he had already known the news of Liu Changqing's fiasco and was afraid to move forward; Still didn't know yet, and cautiously, he stayed in Ningyuan and waited for news.

In either case, this team cannot be spared. Feng Shaoguang has now tasted the sweetness of the Qing army's sending weapons, money, and prisoners of war, and there are only 2,000 people, and they are temporarily dispatched local soldiers, how can they stop Feng Shaoguang's salivating enthusiasm?

Ignoring the fact that Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang continued to rest, Feng Shaoguang directly ordered the two of them to lead the three thousand soldiers of the Holy Army in their headquarters to Ningyuan as soon as possible, and together with the four thousand soldiers of the Holy First Army who were in ambush in the middle of the road, they joined forces with 10,000 troops to encircle Ningyuan County.

In Daozhou City, Feng Shaoguang's residence, accompanied by Zeng Guanlan, Zhou Shengkun, who came quickly, made another list of seizures.

The captured 2,400 Qing troops did not expect to have a few big fish, 1 general, 1 guerrilla, 2 commanders, 3 garrisons, 2 thousand generals, and 6 generals. From these Qing generals alone, more than 13,000 taels of silver tickets were found, and according to Zhou Shengkun's explanation, they were all silver tickets of the two money houses of Shanxi Xiangzi Money Shop and Baofeng Society, which had excellent reputation.

The strange thing is that there is a general who only found five coins of broken silver on his body, which is very incorruptible, which is extremely rare in the environment where corruption is rampant among the demon heads. Feng Shaoguang was a little interested in this Qian Zong, and ordered the personal guard swordsman to escort this person to meet him.

The rest of the Qing soldiers did not have much oil and water on their bodies, only some fragments of silver, which added up to only three thousand two hundred taels. However, the Qing army that died in battle, although there were only more than 900 corpses, more than 6,000 taels of silver were found.

Seeing that Feng Shaoguang was puzzled, Zeng Guanlan beside him explained: "Holy King, according to the confession of the Qing demon captives, most of the soldiers killed in the battle were Guizhou Miao soldiers brought by Liu Changqing from Guangxi. Liu Changqing has always treated him well, so he has a lot of silver on his body. ”

"But it's all cheaper for our Holy Army." With the silver tael, Zhou Shengkun, who has always been rigorous, couldn't help laughing, it seemed that he was in a good mood.

"Haha! That's a good point. However, this silver tael was originally snatched from our people by the Qing Demon, and now we are only helping the people and getting back a small part. Seeing that there were more than 20,000 and 200 silver, Feng Shaoguang's mood also improved.

After receiving the compensation standard for the bereavement of the saints who died in the war handed over by Zeng Guanlan, each saint soldier who died in battle was given a pension of 10 taels of silver, and each disabled soldier was given a subsidy of 3 taels at the end of the card.

"The standard is too low, although it is difficult for the Holy Army at the moment, it can't be so low. Otherwise, it will not play the role of a subsidy. ”

"In the future, our holy army, in the face of war casualties, will be given a pension of 20 taels of silver for each ordinary saint soldier who died in battle, and a subsidy of 5 taels of silver will be given to each disabled person who enters the end of the card. Soldiers of the Holy Army who are higher than ordinary holy soldiers will have a pension of 1 tael per level and a subsidy of 1 yuan per level. Feng Shaoguang directly decided.

"The Holy King is merciful, and the Holy Army is blessed! Brothers dare not to die? Zeng Guanlan and Zhou Shengkun praised in unison.
