Hu Quan's posthumous affairs were extremely grand, the people in Luoding City who did not participate in the Taiping Camp were forced to participate in the funeral by the Taiping Camp, and Hu Quan was buried with 86 Luo Dingbing who died in battle, as well as 3 Wu Chang from Daqiao Mountain.

The funeral procession stretched for several miles, and it looked quite beautiful, but Zhou Shixiang was worried that if the Taiping camp left Luoding in the future, the Qing army would destroy the tomb.

Song Xianggong said that there was no need to worry, he told Zhou Shixiang that the Ming and Qing dynasties had been fighting for more than ten years, and a large number of generals and soldiers were killed on both sides every year, so there was an unwritten clause between the two sides, that is, the two sides would not damage the graves of the dead on the other side, otherwise you would dig up my corpse and I would break your grave, when would it be a head? Coupled with the customs of the Han people for thousands of years, no matter what happened to them after death, they must be buried in the ground, so even the most vicious Manchu soldiers will not destroy the tombs of the Han army, so as not to provoke the tough resistance of the Han people, and the gains outweigh the losses.

After listening to what Song Xianggong said, Zhou Shixiang was a little relieved, and in the past two days since he came back, through the large sums of materials seized from Deqing and several military discussions, he has established the position of the leader in the Taiping Camp, whether it is the old brothers in Daqiao Mountain, the Jiangxi soldiers of Shao Jiugong, the recruits of Luoding, and those prisoners and refugees are very admired and respected by him, the new general. It can be said that the current Taiping Camp has changed from the previous "Hu Ji" to "Zhou Ji", and what Zhou Shixiang has to do next is to bring this "Zhou Ji" Taiping Camp on the right track, and gradually develop and grow into a backbone of the anti-Qing Dynasty.

Zhou Shixiang set a pension of 50 taels for the dead, for which Song Xianggong, who was in charge of the public treasury, paid a total of 4,300 taels of silver to the relatives of the dead, which accounted for almost one-third of the cash seized from Deqing.

A pension of 50 taels is a large amount of money at present, even considering the damage to the economy and people's livelihood caused by years of war, the actual purchasing power of 50 taels of silver is enough to buy a small house, and if it is converted into grain, it can also feed a family of three for several years, which cannot but be said to be a lot of money.

The pension for the fallen soldiers is set so high, there is no opposition within the Taiping camp, because before the Manchurians entered the customs, the Ming Dynasty did not give so much pension to the fallen soldiers, and even did not give it, and now the Ming Dynasty is only left in the southwest provinces, although the Taiping camp is under the banner of the son of the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, but there is no reason to set such a high pension for the fallen soldiers, and the Qing Dynasty, which is much richer than the Southern Ming Dynasty, has not given it so much, why should the Taiping Camp that set up the head of the camp give so much? Such a law is a living waste of money, how many families can withstand such a defeat!

Including Shao Jiugong, the ten teams all had opposing opinions without exception. For this reason, Zhou Shixiang and Song Xianggong did a lot of work, said a lot of heart-to-heart words, and talked about the benefits of high pensions to the relatives of the deceased and the living soldiers.

After the pension was issued according to the roster, as Zhou Shixiang expected, when the families of those who died knew that they could get a pension of 50 taels, they immediately resented the Taiping Camp because of the man's death, and the dissatisfaction in their hearts was also diluted.

Song Xianggong deliberately let people spread what Taiping camp benevolence and righteousness, if your man was captured by other armies and sent to Lafuzi, let alone a pension, you can't even see the corpse, now people not only brought back the body of your man, but also gave such a large sum of silver, if you are dissatisfied, it is not good or bad.

With a two-pronged approach, soon, the camp could not hear the relatives of the fallen soldiers say bad things about the Taiping Camp, but instead they were sad and still sad, but at the same time they were sad and full of praise for the benevolence and righteousness of the Taiping Camp.

The relatives of the fallen soldiers, and even the relatives of the living soldiers, had nothing to say, and the men of their families also received a reward from the Taiping Battalion, but not gold and silver, but cloth and white flour, as well as some meat, and even wine.

These are additional rewards, which do not affect them from continuing to receive the prescribed food from the public treasury, they can take what they do not need or eat to exchange with others for what they need, and they can even sell it to the people who did not participate in the Taiping Camp so that they can get some silver, and these silver Taiping Camp will not confiscate, which makes the soldiers, the old and weak, women and children have a great sense of closeness to the Taiping Camp, forming the cohesive force that Zhou Shixiang expects.

The wounded were treated after returning to Luoding, although the treatment methods were very backward, and the disabled were inevitable, but most of the wounded were still able to recover, and the disabled were not abandoned by the Taiping camp as feared on the road, but promised that they could take up some non-physical duties in the rear camp after they were wounded, so that they could receive certain rewards in these positions, and the treatment was the same as that of the army commander.

One of the three Wu commanders who died in battle was from a bandit background, and the other two were Li Chengdong's soldiers like Hu Quan, and none of the three had relatives by their side, so the pension was temporarily recorded in the account, and if their families could be found in the future, the money would be handed over to them.

When determining the pension, a question was placed in front of Zhou Shixiang, and this question was how to implement the treatment of soldiers and officers in the battalion.

Hierarchy is evil, but it is necessary, without the existence of hierarchy, it is impossible to clarify the various provisions, and there is no way to give the lowest soldiers a way up. Pensions are a very real and urgent issue in this hierarchy.

After Zhou Shixiang reached a preliminary consensus with Song Xianggong on this issue, he summoned ten teams to discuss with the army.

Shao Jiugong even said that he could directly copy the set of the green battalion, and also set up some standards to cooperate with the battalion, so that officers at all levels could see at a glance, saving worry and time.

Of course, Zhou Shixiang would not move the military system of the Green Battalion, and after pondering, he decided to apply the military system of the Ming Army's guard to the Taiping Battalion, so as to clarify the hierarchy of the Taiping Battalion, so that in the future, the problems of smooth command and rewards and punishments, treatment, and bereavement pensions could be solved.

Combined with the current situation of the Taiping Battalion, Zhou Shixiang took the commanders of each army as the small flag officer, and each team was the chief flag officer, and then combined with the problems that arose in the actual command, and temporarily set up the post of one hundred households.

This hundred households is not non-ordinary, but set up in wartime, and the nature is the same as the previous former battalion commander, that is to say, once the Taiping battalion fights with the Qing army, in addition to Zhou Shixiang, a hundred households can be set up to fight with five general flags. The candidates for the 100 households were not fixed, and the candidates were only determined by the military conference before the war.

In order to maintain the military discipline of the Taiping Battalion, Zhou Shixiang decided to set up a pacification officer, which was temporarily concurrently served by Song Xianggong, and he would change it when there was a suitable candidate in the future.

Although there were no 1,000 soldiers in the Taiping Battalion, the total number of soldiers in the battalion was nearly 3,000, so Song Xianggong proposed that Zhou Shixiang be appointed as the official of a thousand households, and said that if there were more people in the Taiping Camp in the future, everyone's positions would be raised at the same time, and of course everyone had no opinion on this.

The guard system is the regular military system of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhou Shixiang must obtain the approval of the Yongli court if he wants to make his thousand households legal, otherwise, his practice is to confer officials privately, and the problem is that he does not know how to obtain the approval of the Yongli court. Song Xianggong said to him, this question is not difficult, didn't he already send someone to Gaozhou to report the victory, and when Gaozhou sent someone to mention it to them, the left and right Luo Ding generals have been given to the Taiping camp, can't a general be awarded a thousand households?

Zhou Shixiang thought so, to put it bluntly, the small flag, the general flag, and the hundred households were almost the same as the second lieutenants, lieutenants, and captains in the army in later generations, and the generals, garrisons, and capital divisions were the actual positions, just like the division commander, brigade commander, and regiment commander. Hu Quan is dead, and General Luo Ding will definitely fall on his head, and it should not be a problem for him to be a real grant to a thousand households in the Yongli Imperial Court with the respect of a general.

Zhou Shixiang originally wanted to directly use the division, regiment and battalion of the later army's organization system, but if you think about it carefully, it is a bit nondescript, after all, it is the 17th century and not the 20th century, and it is still in line with the characteristics of the times, and it also saves him from having to explain what is a division commander and what is a regiment commander one by one.
