Chapter 203: Inability to Cooperate Happily (1)
Wang Shen understands that the army in this era is all fed with money. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
There is no way, the Song Dynasty is noble and martial, and even if the warriors make great contributions on the battlefield, the upward channel is very limited. Even those who are as strong as Di Qing, even if they become privy envoys, are squeezed out by civil officials and die unjustly.
has no political status, and is despised by the world, so the warriors pay more attention to real things. For example, land, money, and houses.
In particular, the main front-line combat force like the Western Army must be paid handsomely in every battle. Otherwise, no one will be willing to fight to the death.
Therefore, since the establishment of the Sizhou Army, Wang Shen has not been paid military salaries because of limited conditions. But the daily food of the soldiers was excellent. After settling in Huangzhou, he implemented the system of awarding military merits to encourage the soldiers' courage to fight.
However, this policy has not worked very well. After thinking about it, the truth is actually very simple. First of all, the sergeants and soldiers of the army used to be homeless and homeless, and after today, there is no tomorrow, and it is useless to ask for land. The most important thing is that the land has been barren due to successive droughts, and it can be said that there is no harvest, so naturally it cannot bring any income to everyone.
If we want to implement the system of awarding land for military merits, we have to wait until we occupy a piece of land before we can talk about it.
However, meritorious service must be rewarded, and punishment must be punished is the rule set by Wang Shen, breaking Qi Chun, not giving a reward, just afraid that the army will not be convinced, this big seizure can be said to solve Wang Shen's urgent need.
As a leader, Wang Shen naturally hopes that his soldiers are all GC soldiers with firm beliefs, and they will fight for the great cause for life without asking for returns. But this is ancient times, just talk about doctrine, not business, and it's strange that others don't treat you as crazy. Even in the later era of faith-based doctrine, even if the equipment is poor and the military salary is not paid, people can still beat the local tyrants and divide the land to carry out land reform, which is also a real benefit.
Yes, it is vulgar to give money to benefits. It's easy to say that rewards and punishments are clear, but in ancient times, there were not many people who could really do this, and once they did, they were the real tiger and wolf division.
Therefore, although Wang Shen was tired to death, he still mustered up his spirit and counted the merits of the officers and soldiers in the festival account in the past two months, and set the specifications for rewards.
After a while, Kong Xian came over, bowed to the ground and saluted Wang Shen, and from this time on, he was officially a member of the Sizhou army.
After he finished saluting, Wang Shen helped him up and said with a smile: "Boyuan, if you don't come, I'm just about to find someone to invite you to come over to discuss the reorganization and placement of your Kong family's army!" ”
Kong Xian stayed alone all night, his face was pale from exhaustion, and he had taken a nap in the tent for a while, and his eyes were full of at the moment: "But according to the general's orders." ”
Wang Shen: "I plan to organize your Kong family army into a separate army, garrison the locality, and ensure logistics supply." Soon, you will use troops against Anlu and Jianghan, and the two states of Qi and Huang will be handed over to you to guard. The number of men and horses of the new army was approved at 2,000, and all weapons, equipment, and grain and grass were supplied by me. However, the combat effectiveness of your unit is still a little worse, and it needs to be reorganized, and I still have to send some officers over, I hope you can understand. ”
Kong Xian: "Naturally, the former Kong family army was too poor, and the general was grateful that he was able to contain me and others, why not?" ”
Wang Shen nodded: "You will be the commander of the rear army, and General Liu Fu will be the deputy commander." ”
Liu Fu was overjoyed: "To be able to be the deputy general of Major General Kong, Liu Fu is naturally willing." ”
Wang Shen: "Other...... Si Zhao. ”
"Father." Qin Sizhao walked out, he seemed to realize something, and his face was excited.
Wang Shen: "Although you are a child, you can't always eat at home, so go to General Kong to be a marquis and ask others for the skills of fighting." Remember, you're going to train, not being an official. If you violate military discipline, you must not be spared. ”
"Yes, father." Qin Sizhao shouted happily.
Yue Yun also rejoiced for this little friend, and shouted: "Xiao Qin, do a good job, if you do something wrong, you don't need the Military Justice Department to find you, the master will hammer you first and beat your mother...... My sister doesn't even recognize you. ”
The generals burst out laughing.
The ancients were precocious, like Yue Yun, who was only thirteen years old this year, was already married and was about to become a father, and commanded an army, and fought on the battlefield I don't know how many times.
Qin Sizhao is not two years younger than him, and it is time to put it in the army for training. In Wang Shen's view, most of the so-called famous generals, except for a few talented people, have been honed in previous wars.
Qin Sizhao is his own son, and sooner or later he will be of great use, and it is much more reassuring for the troops to be handed over to his own people. Now that there is a shortage of people everywhere, it's time for him to do something.
Speaking of the future personnel arrangements, Wang Shen suddenly remembered something, and said to Lu Can: "Ziyu, the rivers and lakes in the Jianghan region are crisscrossed, and in the future, a large number of ships must be needed for Zhang Yong, Cao Cheng and other thieves, and the construction of the navy cannot be delayed. Although Yan Yumeng is there on the side of the water master, he is a civilian and does not know how to fight. Doesn't Wu Tuo love to run sailors, just let him be in charge of the water army, what do you think? ”
Lu Can nodded: "However, General Wu is a caring person, he has been recuperating in Huangzhou for many days, and he has learned to float." ”
Wang Shen: "If he hadn't learned to swim, I wouldn't have been able to make him the commander of the sailor, otherwise, the water would sink like a foil, isn't that a joke?" ”
The crowd laughed again.
It started to rain outside again, and the child's face changed when he said it was summer. A moment ago, there was some sun, but now it was pouring rain.
Dense rain poured down on the tents, making a rumbling sound.
Just when Wang Shen was about to discuss with the generals when to set off for Huangzhou and carry out the next military operation, the guards came in to tell him that Li Heng, the envoy of Jianghan and Ezhou Zhulu and Zhixiangyang, had come and went straight to the Chinese army's festival account, and was stopped by the soldiers outside the gate and asked the military envoy to decide.
Li Heng and Zhang Jun came to Jingchu suddenly, Wang Shen was quite disdainful of them, in order to avoid shaking the morale of the army, he did not mention this matter to everyone when he attacked Qi Chun before.
Hearing Li Heng's long list of titles, everyone was stunned, and they didn't understand how this person got out. Moreover, looking at his official position, it seems that the Sizhou army and the Wang military envoy will be under his control.
Suddenly a mother-in-law came, which really made people's hearts unhappy!
"Ah, it's Li Heng and Li Yanping." Lu Benzhong, who was sitting next to Wang Shen, looked excited.
Wang Shen immediately noticed that the relationship between Lu Benzhong and Li Heng was extraordinary, and asked, "Does Mr. Donglai know Li Yanping?" ”
Lu Benzhong nodded vigorously: "It's an old acquaintance, and I have had a relationship." ”
He had a relieved look on his face.
In the past two months, in order to save his life, Lu Benzhong made a huge storm in Qichun, and a large number of soldiers and people can be said to have died because of him.
Old man Lu also knew that not only did the soldiers of the Sizhou army hate him to the core, but even the newly surrendered soldiers of the Confucian army wanted to kill him and were willing.
Because of this, he has been in a state of panic, just thinking about leaving the tiger and wolf's den as soon as possible. Because of this, he was so dead that he had to stay by Wang Shen's side. Now only Wang Shen has no murderous intentions towards him and can save his life.
It's great that Li Heng is here now.
"Oh, it turned out to be an old friend of the gentleman, but that is not to be neglected." Wang Shen stood up and said to everyone with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to Yuanmen together to meet this top boss." ”
"What boss?" Yue Yunyi didn't care, but he wasn't interested, so he naturally couldn't understand the complicated official system of the Great Song Dynasty.
Qin Sizhao answered: "Uncle, the official position of Jianghan Ezhou Zhulu and Zhixiangyang pacification envoy means that Li Heng and Li Yanping were sent to Xiangyang by the imperial court to be the prefect. The problem is that now Xiangyang has fallen into the hands of the Jurchens. Therefore, if he wants to be this official, he must regain the lost territory. However, the road to Xiangyang was occupied by Zhang Yong, Cao Cheng and other thieves. Therefore, we must first exterminate these bandits. ”
"In this way, the imperial court ordered Li Heng to pacify the military states of Jianghan and Ezhou, and control all the imperial court soldiers and horses."
Yue Yun understood: "Temper all the soldiers and horses, then don't we also belong to him?" ”
Qin Sizhao nodded: "Yes, this Li Xianggong is our official." ”
Yue Yun was annoyed: "Where did the bird feather Xianggong come from, we only know Du Gongmei Du Xianggong, this Li Xianggong can't be recognized." The imperial court, the imperial court, we have not received a penny of military salaries from the imperial court since the beginning of the army, we don't owe anything to the Zhao official family, the male husband is at ease, how can he be at the mercy of others. The military envoy waits, and I will see that so-and-so goes and cuts off the head of the surnamed Li. ”
Lu Benzhong was shocked: "No, no." ”
Lu Can also shouted: "Ying Xiangxiu wants to make a mistake, we are officers and soldiers of the imperial court, so naturally we have to listen to the dispatch of the imperial court." If you do this, you can rebel and rebel, and where do you want to set up an army? ”
Yue Yun just stopped and said, "It's okay, don't kill him." If he knows each other and is honest as his official, we won't be embarrassed. If you point fingers, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people. ”
Yue Yun's words were ugly, but Wang Shen didn't stop him. Everyone immediately understood his thoughts, and they all smiled and said: "General Ying Xiang's words are right, our Sizhou Army has its own military master in charge, and it has nothing to do with others." ”
When everyone came to the gate, they saw a little old man in a red official robe and a group of entourages standing on the muddy ground and roaring loudly at the guards, trying their best to make a majestic appearance: "Humble villain, let the old man in." ”
It's a pity that he is covered in mud and water, and not only does he not have the slightest official authority, but he looks funny.
"Damn it, do you know who's standing in front of you? It's so damning, I'm going to have to cut off your heads! ”
The soldier guarding the gate shouted: "I don't care who you are, the camp gate is closed, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu come, he is not allowed to enter." ”
The other guard was even more arrogant, and simply pulled out the machete on his back with a sonorous sound, and waved it in the air. In stiff Chinese, he shouted over and over again: "Go to the ground, no...... Go in, unfortunately ......"
Seeing that he was barefoot and wrapped in a thick black cloth on his head, there was no need to ask, it was the Yao family warrior. It turned out that this person used to be the Panwang Junjian led by Yang Zaixing. Later, after being captured by Wang Shen, Wang Shen liked his bravery and plagiarism, so he was recruited into the army.
