Chapter V: Deputy Commanders
Chapter 5 Deputy Commander
Wu Ji is a showman, a big man in Wujiazhuang, and a banner of Wujiazhuang. If there is another theft, his prestige will reach an unrequited level, and once the worries in Ding Zhuang's heart are solved, they will be willing to climb the high branch of Wu Ji.
The things that Wu Ji has done have impressed them one by one, and the giant bear that no one can hunt is hunted for Wu Ji. Guixin County is in a desperate situation, Wu Ji reverses the situation and follows Wu Ji, which means that the future is immeasurable and bright.
Who wouldn't? All of them stared at Wu Ji with round eyes, very nervous, as if they were afraid that Wu Ji would not want them.
"Third uncle, are you making a lot of fun? Look at your body, so old. Wu Ji was a little funny, and Wu Qing also came to join in the fun.
"Ji'er, the third uncle is not joining in the fun, he is serious! Seriously! ”
Wu Qing's face was solemn, and he said seriously: "Ji'er, let me tell you the truth, although the thieves and the army are hateful and oppress the people, but their military salary is very rich, and they can feed a family with a military salary!" However, their military salaries are greedy, Ji'er, you won't do such a thing, follow you, the children of the Hun family have food to eat and clothes to wear! ”
The Song Dynasty was a seriously deformed dynasty that did not establish a strong martial arts, but its military expenditure was the largest among all dynasties, accounting for six or seven percent of the Song Dynasty's financial expenditure, and the military salary was very generous.
If you don't [***], don't give deductions, the soldiers will receive it, enough to feed the family, and the family can live a "well-off life".
It is because it is too much, corruption is rampant, and military salaries are deducted, not only can soldiers not receive military salaries, not to mention, but also make cattle and sheep, and let their families be oppressed.
This caused a particularly large number of deserters in the Song Dynasty, and mutiny among soldiers was commonplace. There is no other reason, I can't open the pot, and I have to make a fuss.
With Wu Ji's surname, he would never do this kind of thing, once he received the military salary in full, it would be paid, and the family could live a good life.
Such a good thing is really rare, and it is impossible for a group of Ding Zhuang not to sharpen their heads and squeeze them in.
Wu Ji's gaze swept over the crowd of Ding Zhuang, all of them looking nervous and looking forward to it. In the end, Wu Ji ordered twenty people, Wu Jian as the captain, and Wu Xing as the vice captain.
These twenty people are Wu Ji's personal soldiers, and their military salaries are even more generous, and they receive the highest of the fifth-class salaries, one tael of silver per month. One or two pieces of silver, in Wujiazhuang, is enough for a family for one year, and one year's military salary is enough for a family for twelve years, not to mention how happy the soldiers are, and the cheers are loud.
One tael of silver per month, this is the salary of the high-ranking soldiers of the forbidden army, and it is not something that the converted garrison can enjoy. However, Wu Ji will not lose his own personal soldiers, and he uses the power in his hands to make it a little easier.
This kind of convenience is much better than embezzlement and deducting military salaries, and it can be called a sage.
The pro-soldiers are there, and there is still a deputy commander missing. The deputy commander is Wu Ji's assistant, and he must be a person who Wu Ji can trust, and he must also be a person who can be of great help to Wu Ji.
Wu Ji hasn't done this kind of thing yet, it's really not so easy, and it takes some time to learn. If you have a good assistant, the problem will be much easier.
"Who is the right deputy commander?" Wu Ji frowned, and went through the people he knew from his mind, and only one person was suitable: "There is!" ”
"Wu Jian, go and invite Lord Huangfu to me!" Wu Ji ordered.
This is the first time that Wu Ji has given an order to his own soldiers, Wu Jian is extremely excited, his head is high, his chest is straight, and he is full of spirit, like a crowing rooster, he responds loudly, and turns to leave.
"Don't dare to have a camp Lord Wu, I'm just in time to catch up!" Wu Jian didn't take a few steps, only to hear Huangfu Song's voice sound, and his people had already come in.
"Please! Please! Wu Ji greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Lord Wu, please!" Huangfu Song also has a good impression of Wu Ji, and the two can be regarded as having experienced a catastrophe of life and death together, and this friendship is not bad.
Wu Ji took Huangfu Song to the living room and asked him to sit down. Wu Xing hurriedly brought tea, Huangfu Song drank tea, and said with a smile: "Lord Wu is ready to take office?" ”
"Almost! I've already formed a pro-soldier. Wu Ji smiled and said, "However, I still need a deputy commander." ”
"Oh!" Huangfu Song was a little curious, his eyes flashed, and he asked with a smile: "I don't know if Lord Wu has a suitable candidate?" ”
"This deputy commander must not only be trustworthy, but also skilled in martial arts and able to train the army. I am like this, Lord Huangfu knows, I have no experience in the army, I have to study for a while, I don't want to miss the training of the army. Wu Ji didn't hide it, and said what he was worried about.
"Huh!" Huangfu Song's eyes flashed: "What if you make a mistake?" The army of the Great Song Dynasty has a lot of mistakes! The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are right in front of us, but they have not been taken back. The sweet and cool area has not been taken back! ”
This statement is somewhat similar to Mrs. Zheng, Wu Ji raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "This is above the border pass, Liao Dog will come at any time, I don't want to fight against it with a group of rabble, it's better to hurry up and train." ”
"Hmmm! Lord Wu is loyal to the king, which is gratifying. Huangfu Song was quite appreciative.
"I need a deputy commander who can help me, among the people I know, only you, the Emperor Fu, are the most suitable, I wonder if the Emperor Fu is willing to be the deputy commander?" Wu Ji looked at Huangfu Song and officially issued an invitation.
Huangfu Song has a lot of secrets, it doesn't matter, as long as he has no disadvantage to Wu Ji, Wu Ji is still at ease.
"Me?" Huangfu Song was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows, and a touch of surprise flashed: "Lord Wu, you don't want to know my secret, do you?" ”
"Huh! You're too worried! I don't care about your secrets, as long as you don't disadvantage me! Wu Ji didn't hide it.
"Thank you! It feels so good to be trusted! I can swear I will never do anything against you! Huangfu Song groaned and said, "Since Lord Wu is loving, it will be disrespectful to him." It's just that the next age is a little old, what about people in their forties and fifties! ”
"Big? Can you be bigger than Jiang Taigong? Jiang Taigong was seventy years old, so he was reused by King Wen. Wu Ji said with a smile.
"Haha! Ha ha! This metaphor made Huangfu Song very happy, looked up to the sky, and laughed.
Huangfu Song is the main bookkeeper, and his transfer requires Mrs. Zheng's consent. Wu Ji went to say it, and Mrs. Zheng readily promised that he was a strong supporter of Wu Ji.
At this point, Wu Ji's team was basically formed. As for the five heads and the five deputy heads, there are no ready-made candidates at the moment, so they can only choose the best from the army.
As soon as the team was formed, Wu Ji and Huangfu Song rushed to the barracks with their own soldiers.
The military camp is located in the northwest of Guixin City, covering a wide area, and there are many houses, but it is a little dilapidated, which can be said to be dilapidated.
Wu Ji arrived quickly, and saw from a distance that there was no soldier guarding the camp gate, and he couldn't help but be surprised. This is also too careless, if on the battlefield, for the enemy to attack the camp, I don't know.
"Lord Wu, don't be angry! The garrison has suffered such a great change, there is no commander, there is no head, there is no one to command, they are already scattered, otherwise it will be wrong. Huangfu Song comforted Wu Ji.
Although the mutiny of the Song army was quelled, all the officers who could manage affairs no longer existed. In a situation where no one is in charge, it is normal to be free and loose and have no military discipline.
Wu Ji was relieved and led people into the barracks. plunged into it, and couldn't help but straighten his eyes, and his eyeballs almost hit the ground.
