(89 Literature Network Literature) (89 Literature Network Literature)
These soldiers did not wear any mandarin duck battle jackets, but coarse cloth clothes, the same color, and the tips of the spears in their hands were shiny and of the same length, which looked neat and abnormal. (Qingfeng Chinese Network Literature Reading Network.)
When walking in front of the stage, as if there was some limit, the footsteps of this group of soldiers suddenly strengthened, and for a while Liu Qingsong and his subordinates on the wooden platform felt as if the sky was falling apart.
Li Meng stood on the edge of the wooden platform, looking at the queue of soldiers passing below, the attention of these soldiers was also on Li Meng's body, this was actually Li Meng reviewing his troops, not the fat Denglai Dao behind him, Li Meng raised his voice and said:
"Lord Liu, this is the foot soldier of the camp, a team of three hundred people, a total of six teams, please proofread."
The wooden platform is not small, and there are many people standing, these people are silent, and they all look at the soldiers passing in front of them in a daze, one team follows another, and six teams of foot soldiers pass by, and then Li Meng continued:
"There are 200 cavalry in the Jiaozhou battalion, a total of one team, please proofread!"
I really don't know how to train, these horses are actually so neat, after the soldiers pass through the wooden platform, they stand in front of the wooden platform according to the position that has been arranged long ago, Li Meng looked at the soldiers passing by under the stage, and the unhappiness in his chest disappeared in the past two days, and he only felt that he was abnormal.
No matter how filthy it is outside, these soldiers below are always the tigers and wolves he firmly controls in his hands, which is the result of his coming to this era, and every time he sees it, he has an infinite sense of pride.
After the horse team was also standing in place, it was quiet on the wooden platform. Except for Li Meng, Deng Lai Dao and his entourage all looked at the soldiers who stood in a daze. (They have never seen such a majestic military might.) One of the guards' grips on the knife unconsciously let go.
"Bang", Liu Qingsong almost jumped up from the chair, everyone reacted, the soldiers below were very close to the wooden platform, and the people in the front row saw Li Meng and the officials on the stage clearly, Li Meng stood at the front in armor, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he looked very calm. (Literary Reading Network.)
But the official sitting there in a scarlet official uniform and a black veil had a panicked look on his face. The soldiers around him were brightly dressed and dressed brightly, and they were also tall and tall, but they were all cowering and afraid. Mark 1
Originally, these soldiers in the Jiaozhou battalion felt that they had become officers and soldiers, and they should serve the imperial court, and after the officials checked it, their identities would be regularized, but looking at it this way, these soldiers who were full of illusions about the imperial court had a weak impression first.
"Lord Yanagi. All the 2,000 soldiers of my Jiaozhou battalion are here, so please check them. ”
After Li Mengli finished speaking, he stepped aside, Liu Qingsong stood up from the chair tremblingly, only to feel that the cold in front of him was pressing, and the two thousand soldiers looked at him with eyes like a needle bayonet, and he felt that his legs were weak when he took a step, how could he dare to check it.
It was supposed to be a step forward. I didn't expect it, but I took a step back, and just said in a row:
"Li is a good soldier trained by the garrison, and a good soldier is trained on the ground."
By ordering the family members and personal soldiers around him to come forward to check, their own masters are like this, and how good can the people below be. Several pro-soldiers walked to the front of the stage tremblingly. After a cursory click, he immediately turned back and said:
"Sir. Below are two thousand people, and there are no vacancies. ”
The people below are black, it is estimated that there are two thousand people, only a lot more, if Liu Qingsong is sober at this time, maybe he will have to ponder again: This Li Mengmo is not stupid, is he stupid, he doesn't eat an empty amount, what is the meaning of this guard. (Literature Reading Network Qingfeng Chinese Network.)
But now it is estimated that there is no such mood, and the court officials give the first time to the head of this newly established battalion, and they always want to say a few words of comfort and encouragement to call on the heart of loyalty.
But now Liu Qingsong just wants to be far away from the front of this wooden platform, how dare he come forward to preach, this kind of civilian official sits in the yamen every day, pampered and treats well, thinking that he has seen the killing of the military, it can be seen that Li Meng's army trained with the training methods of the modern army is still deeply shocked or shocked.
The procedure that should be taken is to go after all, and in desperation, this Liu Qingsong has no choice but to follow the method of counting the number of people just now, or let his subordinates do it for him.
Several of Lord Liu's personal guards also cowered and walked to the front of the stage, and these people would also shout:
"All the righteous people are dedicated to serving the country, and the imperial court deeply feels your loyalty, and specially sent the deputy envoy of Shandong according to the inspection, and Lord Denglai Daoliu came to inspect the soldiers and horses, and release the soldiers to pay them for their fists
After saying this, I heard someone shouting loudly from the troops below who had been silent:
"I don't know how much silver Shangcha brought this time?" "How long is the salary?"
The soldiers replied without thinking about it:
"A total of 6,500 taels of silver for five months' military salaries ......."
The pro-soldiers were a little frightened and confused, and they didn't have time to think about anything when they spoke, and they didn't feel anything wrong after saying this, there was a large army of the imperial court in Dengzhou, and it was already a lot of people to follow Liu Qingsong to check the soldiers and horses, and most things had long been commonplace.
As soon as they finished speaking, there was a little commotion among the neat and solemn soldiers below, and whispers began to come out:
"Our two thousand brothers should be 15,000 taels of silver, 10,000 quintals of rice and noodles, how can we say that we also have more than 20,000 taels of silver, how can we be so little?"
"I've heard it in the guard post for a long time, it's common for soldiers to deduct military salaries outside, and our Jiaozhou battalion is an outlier......"
"It's too dark, the silver went over there." "Every month, this silver is in the hands of adults, why is there so much less money from the court."
"Our adult is just a fifth-grade, and the fat man sitting there is a third-grade official, and this silver is hanging!"
"Is there still Wang Fa Tianli, our brothers and bandits fought to the death, this credit is not allowed by the imperial court to be overreported, why is the silver earned so desperately??"
The whispers below turned into a noise, the noise of the soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion became louder and louder, and the few people who were still shouting loudly on the side kept retreating, and the roar of the audience frightened them.
Liu Qingsong's whole body trembled like chaff there, seeing that there was a danger of mutiny at any time, when the time came, the pressure of the opponent's infantry cavalry would not be worried about his life, and he wanted to escape, but his legs were weak but he had no strength. Li Meng, who was standing in front, turned his head at this time and said with a ashamed face:
"It's all people who haven't seen the market, rushing to the army, but it makes adults laugh, it's so messy here, the last general is afraid that the bullet can't be suppressed, so please go back first!"
When this Lord Denglai Daoliu heard this, he didn't know that there was a lot of strength there, so he actually stood up and whispered to his subordinates who were about to kneel in fright:
"A bunch of useless miscellaneous pieces, and they don't escort the master back to the city!"
Everyone was like an amnesty, and hurriedly picked up the Denglai Road, and ran towards the carriage and horse in embarrassment, Li Meng and several officers also chased after him and apologized loudly:
"Lord Liu, there are indeed no rules in the inspection camp this time, if the adults are frightened, then the general and others are really guilty and deserve death, but this point inspection and proofreading, there must be a result, Lord Liu, you see."
It's not frightened at all, it's fear, and Li Meng's side is also handed over with a number of benefits, in fact, this verification has already passed, what Liu Qingsong is thinking about at this time is to leave quickly, leave this lawless countryside as soon as possible, and reprimand impatiently over there:
"Naturally, it's over, the official is going back, don't chatter, go, go!"
The noise of the soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion is getting louder and louder, and a lot of foul language is scolded, looking at Lord Liu's fat body, in the end, it can really be described as light as a swallow, almost pulling out his legs and running away, after getting into the car, the carriage and horses immediately went away.
Seeing these people disappear from his sight, Li Mengcai walked on the wooden platform again, and the soldiers below were still indignant, when Li Meng stood on the platform, the soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion scolded and scolded, but no one dared to leave the queue for half a step, but when Li Meng just sent people away, the formation was a little scattered.
Li Meng stood in the position of Fang Cai, and glanced down coldly, those soldiers who were in chaos were swept away by Li Mengsenran's gaze, and immediately returned to the same place in silence, under his gaze, the noise below became smaller and smaller, and gradually returned to quiet.
After this salary just now, as well as the embarrassed performance of Liu Qingsong in Denglai Dao, the soldiers' loyal and patriotic thoughts have been weakened a little, and the name of righteousness is necessary, but everyone is not a soldier to eat food to support themselves and support their families, so they are deducted, they train every day in the army, and they have no chance to earn some other money.
In fact, the soldiers in the middle and late stages of the Ming army are really like this, the guards have no combat power, but there is a piece of land to cultivate there, these soldiers, the military salary from the military department to the governor layer by layer of deductions, to the hands of the leading officer and a large amount of money to support the family Ding pro-soldiers, ordinary soldiers really have to go outside to help or learn a craft to make money, when it comes to fighting, combat effectiveness and will to fight are completely gone, looting everywhere, killing good and risking merit is the true color.
