Chapter 429: Can Such a Dingbei Garrison Regiment Win a Battle?
Seeing the Dingbei Garrison Regiment pay so much for the first time, Pharmacist Li was greatly surprised. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This money does not really have to be sent to the soldiers, just write it down on a piece of paper out of thin air, even if the salary has been paid. In the long run, can a soldier have the heart to fight? When you are a soldier, you are paid silver, but there is no silver in the salary of the Dingbei garrison regiment, it is only a record on paper, so how can the soldiers be convinced?
In Pharmacist Li's impression, regarding the salary of soldiers, the soldiers and horses of Pingtang Country are no different from other powerful soldiers and horses in the world he has seen. This kind of thing is the same in the world, that is, the Liao State, which does not pay military salaries and replaces them with booty. But the spoils of the Tuliao Kingdom are also the most and best taken by the nobles of Tuliao Ashina, and ordinary soldiers can only get a small part of them.
This kind of thing is common among soldiers and horses from all walks of life in the whole world, and even many generals have made a fortune by relying on this.
Although Pharmacist Li himself never drank the blood of soldiers, he couldn't control the officers at all levels under him to rub oil from it, after all, he couldn't remove all the lower-level officers, otherwise who would be willing to work for him.
Pharmacist Li paid the soldiers in his army, but he could only ensure that the soldiers got half of it. But in this way, the soldiers admired him from the bottom of their hearts and called him a benevolent soldier. Therefore, the soldiers and horses under the command of Li Yaoshi were the most warlike and the most courageous among the armies of the Pingtang Kingdom.
Originally, Pharmacist Li thought that this day was the end of the soldiers and horses, but in the Dingbei garrison regiment, his insight was shocked again and again. He felt that what was originally in line with common sense was ruthlessly subverted by the Dingbei Garrison again and again.
If you want to talk about general things, such as in terms of soldier training methods, the Dingbei Garrison Regiment has something unique, and Pharmacist Li will admit it. However, the Dingbei Garrison Regiment was so ingenious and unique in the matter that could most affect the morale of the army, such as the payment of military salaries.
The Dingbei garrison regiment paid the soldiers, but they didn't give a single silver coin, but only made a record on paper. This, the Dingbei Garrison Regiment deducted military salaries like this, why did the soldiers still fight so bravely? It doesn't make sense, it definitely doesn't make sense.
But the facts were in front of Pharmacist Li's eyes, and the soldiers of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment lined up to "receive salaries" and made records on paper, so they happily continued to do what they should do, and they did not show any dissatisfaction at all.
With Pharmacist Li's knowledge, he thought about it, and he couldn't understand why.
Pharmacist Li was also reluctant to surrender his identity to ask the soldiers of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment. In his consciousness, soldiers are all inferior people, and the sages said "Corporal Lixian", which is also said to the class of "soldiers", the most unfortunate must be a poor scholar, and the soldiers are definitely not among them.
Besides, the soldiers of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment were too arrogant, as if they didn't take him, the dignified Tang Guozheng Sanpin champion general, in their eyes at all. Usually, Pharmacist Li walked in the camp of the garrison regiment, and when he looked around, when he met these soldiers of the garrison regiment, he would at most give a military salute to him, as if he was on an equal footing with him, the general of the third grade.
For this, Pharmacist Li was very dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to say anything. Because he had carefully observed, the soldiers of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment were also like this to the regiment commander and deputy regiment commander, and there was no such lowly appearance as the subordinates.
When the soldiers of the Pingtang Kingdom saw themselves, they were not sincerely afraid, lest there be a little mistake, and they frowned casually, and the soldiers would kneel down and kowtow and beg for mercy.
But this Dingbei garrison regiment, if the soldiers are not soldiers, they will not be generals. On weekdays, the soldiers are arrogant one by one, and they are unceremonious when they see their own generals, how did they go to the battlefield to prohibit them and never disobey their orders?
In their own army, this kind of thorn-like soldiers, when they go to the battlefield, are often the first to disobey orders.
How did such a Dingbei garrison regiment win the battle and defeat the powerful golden wolf cavalry? Pharmacist Li couldn't figure it out.
In the end, Pharmacist Li could only have the courage to ask Li Deyi questions. Don't look at the kindness of Xiao Liu, but Pharmacist Li still instinctively respects this horse master from the bottom of his bones, and likes to ask Li Deyi about something, although Li Deyi speaks vulgarly and does not know how to be polite.
Hearing Pharmacist Li ask about this, Li Deyi didn't feel that this was a big deal at all, and said directly: "When the army marches and fights, you have to bring a large number of silver coins to the soldiers, and you can't be busy, so remember it first when you go home, and when you get home, you will distribute it together." I have a first-class soldier status in the North Garrison Regiment, and he has the right to speak on the affairs of the battalion, so when he sees me, the deputy commander, just say hello. What to do when you go to war? On the battlefield, of course, they have to obey orders, and the military discipline of the North Garrison Regiment is not vegetarian. ”
"Isn't the deputy regiment commander afraid that the soldiers will be dissatisfied and lose their fighting spirit?" Pharmacist Li looked surprised.
"Since the day the North Garrison was formed, it has been like this, and I have not owed them any money or deductions, so who will be dissatisfied, brothers? These are all the rules handed down by Di Dashuai back then, and my garrison regiment just followed them. Li Deyi also wondered why Pharmacist Li asked many times.
The Dingbei Garrison Regiment can now pay the soldiers in this way, which is the credit accumulated for a long time. Since the day it was founded, the Dingbei Garrison Regiment has never delayed any arrears of salaries, not only has it not been in arrears, but it has also often given various subsidies. Over the years, this credit has naturally accumulated in the hearts of the soldiers.
On the other hand, in the Ping Tang Kingdom, this kind of thing is absolutely unimaginable. The soldiers had to be deducted half of their monthly salaries, and some of the black-hearted generals even only paid the soldiers 30% of their salaries.
In this case, the soldier's credibility to the general can be said to be zero. Therefore, once the soldiers and horses of the Pingtang Kingdom did not send heavy silver coins to the soldiers for more than two months, it would easily cause the soldiers to mutini and bomb the camp.
Although Li Deyi said a few words, it was difficult for Pharmacist Li to understand this kind of thing, because General Ping Tangguo didn't treat the soldiers below as human beings at all.
Although Pharmacist Li knows that as a general, there are five kinds of generals: "wisdom, faith, benevolence, bravery, and strictness". But these five, the first four are all requirements for the general, that letter, which means that the general must do what he says, and cannot change orders at will and play tricks on his subordinates. The last word "strict" is barely linked to soldiers, saying that generals should strictly require their subordinates to be partial generals and soldiers.
Pharmacist Li never knew that a person who is a general must also establish integrity in the hearts of soldiers. Therefore, it was difficult for Pharmacist Li to understand the answer Li Deyi said at the moment, and subconsciously, he wanted to find a reason for the insight in his heart, so that he could understand what Li Deyi was talking about.
"Dare to ask the salary of the Dingbei garrison regiment?" Li Yaoshi thought that the Dingbei garrison must have given enough money to the soldiers, so as to ensure that the soldiers fought bravely. Under the so-called heavy reward, there must be brave men.
"A hundred silver coins a month for a first-class soldier. I also gave their families clothes for the four seasons, food, summer ice, winter charcoal, and so on. What's wrong? Do you want to learn? Li Deyi didn't care, he didn't know what military secrets were.
As soon as Li De finished speaking, Pharmacist Li was stupid again, "What?!" A hundred silver coins per month for a first-class soldier! The fourth-grade official of the Ping Tang Dynasty only paid 150 silver coins per month. I, the champion general, have a military rank of the third grade, and I only have five hundred silver coins a month. An ordinary soldier in your garrison regiment has a hundred silver coins a month?! ”
I see, I see. Pharmacist Li nodded thoughtfully, and there was no more problem.
Finally sent the second general away.
Wei Zhiyan seized the opportunity and started a fierce bargain with Li Deyi. Wei bluntly said that the emperor was going to parade, Li De rolled his eyes, and the lion opened his mouth.
Now Wei Zhiyan also touched the temper of this bandit-like deputy head of the regiment. Don't look at the fact that this deputy head is going to blackmail at every turn, in fact, most of the time, he is very reasonable, and he seems to be a thief, as long as he accepts your money, he will do things well for you, and he will never discount it.
The so-called penny price is worth the goods, and we will never sell parallel goods.
Wei bluntly said that when he dealt with Li Deyi this time, he directly abandoned his discipline as a minister, and seeing that he couldn't talk to Li Deyi, Wei bluntly stretched out a finger directly: "100,000 silver coins!" Promise this parade! ”
Li Deyi shook his head and turned his head to train the soldiers.
Wei bluntly gritted his teeth, quickly caught up, and stretched out another finger and said, "Two hundred thousand!" ”
Li Deyi was directly angry, and said loudly: "Don't talk nonsense, the price is 500,000, don't bargain with me, otherwise I will go directly to Li Lao Er to ask for it!" I'm busy training soldiers right now, so I don't have so much time to talk nonsense with you. ”
On this day, Wei Zhiyan followed Li Deyi's side and persevered.
At night, before the sun set, Li Shiluan stood on the palace wall of Taiji Palace, looking forward to it, and finally waited for Wei Zhiyan to come back.
"How's it going?"
Wei said bluntly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Dingbei Garrison Regiment agreed, and the military parade will be outside the north gate of Luodu City in three days." ”
Li Shiluan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said happily: "Okay! Wei Aiqing worked hard, and go back to rest, I will definitely be rewarded in the future! ”
Hearing this, Wei bluntly said that the chrysanthemum tightened, "Your Majesty, the deputy head of the garrison regiment opened his mouth and asked for 500,000 silver coins. ”
Li Shiluan was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he waved his hand indifferently: "I will send someone to his camp tomorrow." These silver coins, in exchange for the elite of the world, I can still tell which is lighter and which is heavier. ”
Wei bluntly shouted: "Shengming has no fault with Your Majesty." He then retired.
The next day, 500,000 silver coins were delivered to the Dingbei garrison on time.
Li Shiluan now doesn't dare to repay the debt, default, or make any payment of the down and final payment, and pay it off directly and in a lump sum. He knew that when dealing with bandits like Li Deyi who couldn't beat or scold, it was best to be happy and deal with him less of the same way as his own courtiers. Otherwise, he would not be able to make himself the emperor unable to step down on the spot.
When Li Deyi got the money, Xiao Li was next to him, and he was surprised: "You want another sum of money?" When? Why didn't I know? ”
Li Deyi's face turned red, and he said in a low voice: "It's not much, it's only 500,000, I asked Li Lao Er yesterday." ”
Head Xiao Liu nodded and reprimanded: "It's not much, but it's not allowed next time." ”
Wacha, you also call it a reprimand? Not much? Next time?!
Before leaving for this war, Li Deyi got the salt business, and the first transaction was eight million silver coins. 500,000 yuan, for the current head of Xiao Liu, is just sprinkling water and drizzle.
Li De's face turned red, and he leaned into his brother's ear and whispered something, and Xiao Liu's head was taken aback. (To be continued.) )
