Section 111: Merit is not rewarded

A hundred soldiers were divided into nine columns, and Yang Chao led four personal soldiers and stood opposite them.

"Zhang Erba!"

Yang Chao held a piece of paper, which was a list of statistics.

"Here!"

In the middle of the line, a young soldier wearing a neat mandarin duck jacket answered the call.

"Get out of the line!"

"Yes!"

The soldier immediately turned right, took two steps forward, walked out of the queue, then turned left, then ran forward, ran from the queue, ran to the front, continued to turn right and left, and faced Yang Chao head-on.

He held his head high, and the pride and anticipation on his face could not be suppressed.

He already knew that Yang Chao would reward him for his meritorious work in killing the enemy.

"Zhang Erzhu, behead half a level, reward fifteen taels of silver! Promoted to Captain! ”

According to the convention, there is no such level as the chief of the army in the water camp, which is appointed by Yang Chao himself, but there are no peripherals, five people are in the team, and the meaning of not peripherals is that the chief of the Wu also belongs to one of these five people.

Unlike the team, which is external, a team is under the jurisdiction of twelve people, but at this time, each team has been singled out with the best soldier, so there is a shortage of one person.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Zhang Erbao happily took the silver given by Yang Chao, saluted and thanked him loudly.

"No thanks, you earned it."

Yang Chao said very seriously.

He hoped that the soldiers would have the notion that their promotions and rewards were due to their efforts, not because of appreciation from their superiors, so that the soldiers would have less of the mind of taking shortcuts in the camp, and would work hard to train to kill the enemy.

This is the difference between the Qin army and the Ming army.

"Get in the ranks!"

Yang Chao said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Zhang Erstick saluted again, and then ran back to the queue.

"Wang Heli!"

"Here!"

……

All the rewarded soldiers came out one by one to receive the rewards, with a proud look on their faces, which was exactly what Yang Chao needed.

Yang Chao has experienced this kind of public reward, from childhood to adulthood, what little saffron, grand prize, he has received it a lot, sometimes just a small stationery box, can make himself happy for many days or even a whole semester.

Yang Chao knew that this kind of ritual was very beneficial for cultivating a sense of honor.

Through this ceremony, the correct concept is established, and when everything is made public, everyone has a sense of trust in the rules.

"Wang Pu!"

"Here!"

In the end, Yang Chao called out Wang Pu.

"The team is Wang Pu, bravely kill the thief, charge to break the enemy, make the first contribution, and reward one hundred taels of silver first! Other rewards will be promulgated after the Ministry of War has issued a document! ”

Yang Chao shouted loudly and handed over ten taels of silver ingots to Wang Pu one by one.

Wang Pu was extremely excited, one hundred taels of silver, this was the most money he had seen in his life, and what made him even more excited was that Yang Chao had already told him that he was ready to promote him to the flag chief, and the merit report documents had been handed in, just waiting for the approval from above.

He is the first of the eight teams to be promoted to the flag president, and there will be hundreds of generals in the future, and even the general manager is waiting for him. He is convinced of this, because this beheading of the ninth level, Yang Chao can probably be promoted to one level to the general manager, a thousand general has two general teams, there are two general generals, on the road of the general banner, he has already taken one step ahead, and he is one step closer to the general manager than other teams.

Others are envious and dissatisfied, but they don't feel unfair, because this is the credit that Wang Pu got by killing thieves, and no one will think it is inappropriate.

As for envy and disobedience is human nature, envy Wang Pu's luck, he actually let him meet the Jiang bandits, and killed nine Jiang bandits without anyone dying, it seems that the Jiang bandits are nothing more than that, they can still kill if they are replaced, as for disobedience, many people think that the soldiers they train are no worse than Wang Pu's, especially many men have been pressing Wang Pu's head, this time Wang Pu walked in front of him, and he was even more unconvinced, and when he was rewarded, he kept his face drooping.

Yang Chao took the opportunity to proclaim loudly: "All the officers and soldiers who bravely climb first, charge to break the enemy, and see the eyes of all, regardless of the number of heads, will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver first, and the thieves will still be divided into dead ranks after the thief is leveled, and they will make an exception." ”

This is the method of rewarding Qi Jiguang's soldiers, which was completely plagiarized by Yang Chao, and now it is read out publicly, so that everyone can clearly understand that there are other military merit systems related to it, and it has been said a long time ago, and this time I said it to tell everyone why Wang Pu was rewarded, which is well-documented and has rules to follow.

"Last time, the official said that Wang Pu was a bad breed, and said that you are all cowards, let a pig go around. Today, the official apologized to Wang Pu's team in public, Wang Pu's team is not a coward, not a bad seed, he is a good man! ”

Wang Pu's chest was even stiffer, his face was flushed, and he felt like his blood was surging.

"Now everyone applauds together and celebrates the meritorious service of Wang Pu's team leading the soldiers to kill the enemy!"

Yang Chao took the lead and applauded.

This way of applauding, in fact, was not brought by Yang Chao, the ancient Chinese have long liked to applaud to express their emotions, I don't know which dynasty and which generation started, in fact, when Yang Chao first saw it, he was still a little surprised, he always thought that the applause was transmitted to China from the West, but he didn't expect the ancients to like this way for a long time.

took the lead in applauding dozens of times, and Yang Chao pressed down with both hands to let everyone stop.

Wang Pu's face was even more colorful.

Yang Chao continued: "Brothers, this official will be rewarded for his merits, and he will be punished for his mistakes. If you are a good man, follow this official in the future, and you will have the opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. If it's a bad seed, get out of Lao Tzu as soon as possible, Lao Tzu doesn't raise bad seeds here. ”

Then look around, especially at the faces of the teams.

"Many men, are you a bad breed?"

Yang Chao saw that many men were the most unconvinced, and their faces were gloomy.

"Back to the adult's words, the mark is not a bad seed!"

Yang Chao said again: "Many men, are you convinced?" ”

Many men said: "Back to the adult's words, mark it, mark it down, and don't accept it!" ”

Many of the men's faces flushed.

Yang Chao smiled: "Okay, if you don't accept it, it's up to you next time." There are a lot of Jiang bandits, I'm afraid you won't dare to kill! ”

Many men's chests heaved and they couldn't speak while holding their breath.

Yang Chao snorted: "Many men, tell this official, the next time you encounter Jiang bandits, do you dare to kill them?" ”

Many men finally said: "Dare, how dare not, he Wang Pu dares, Lao Tzu also dares!" ”

Many men were also very unconvinced, and they didn't choose what to say, and even called themselves 'Lao Tzu' in front of Yang Chao.

Yang Chao didn't care, nodded and said, "Okay, the official is looking at you." ”

Then he looked at the others.

"Sun Changfu, are you a bad seed?" ……

After the team was asking, they saw that everyone was unconvinced, and their enthusiasm was also mobilized, as if they couldn't go and fight with the Jiang bandits immediately.

Then Yang Chao asked people to continue to get on the ship to transport the goods.

This time, Yang Chao didn't dare to be careless, it had always been a change between two teams and two teams in the past, but this time he directly let the four teams get on board.

And Wang Pu's team is also there, although they are already very tired after yesterday's fight, but now that they have actual combat experience, they are more at ease in Yang Chao.

In case he encountered Jiang bandits again, Yang Chao believed that the four teams of soldiers, as well as Wang Pu's team that had fought in actual combat, should be foolproof.

After getting on the boat, Yang Chao also learned the lesson of the last time, and always arranged for people to watch from the front and back, left and right, and it was absolutely impossible to happen the kind of thing that was attacked by the Jiang bandits last time, and any dead end in defense would make you pay an unbearable price.

Yang Chao found that the four teams, except for Wang Pu's team, which was relatively calm and calm, the other three teams were very active, constantly looking around, hoping to find the traces of Jiang bandits.

What Yang Chao didn't know was that the four teams of spearmen and the archers led by Li Wuliu who stayed in the barracks at this time, although no one supervised them, were training very consciously, especially Li Wuliu, who had been letting the soldiers practice aiming with bows almost all day long.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many arrows yesterday and each strained his arm, Li Wuliu couldn't even wait to let these soldiers practice drawing bows, and now they can only hold bows and arrows, straighten their arms, look at the target, and practice aiming.

Yang Chao delivered the goods of the shopkeeper Mao to Pukou as scheduled, and successfully loaded a shipload of goods in Pukou, and rushed back before dark.

It was very calm along the way, there was no turmoil, and there was not even a shadow on the river, let alone the river bandits.

There are no river bandits, and cargo ships are rarely seen, and even if there are a few small boats that are occasionally seen, there are probably more people on them than cargo.

If you want to cross the river, many fleets are now asked to escort them by fighting or dart, otherwise they will not dare to go into the water, and the trouble of river bandits is very serious.

The river was calm for a few days, and the next day Yang Chao did not follow him across the river, but went to the central Qianzong house.

Jia Shilu, the head of the central Qian, is still as polite as last time, but he is not as excited as last time.

Yang Chao was not polite and asked directly about military exploits.

Jia Shilu showed great regret and told Yang Chao that this military achievement might fly.

Yang Chao was suddenly surprised, it was clear that the trouble of the Jiang bandits was already very serious, how could the imperial court not be rewarded for its merits at this time?!

"Please Master Jia, think of more ways?"

Yang Chao was unwilling to let his credit be so white, and pushed a brocade bag towards Jia Shilu, which was filled with silver.

It has been delayed for nearly a year, and the Ming Dynasty is about to fall in more than a year, and it took him a year to get a boss, Yang Chao already feels that it is too slow, and if he survives like this, he can't rise until the Ming Dynasty falls, let alone change history, even if he keeps himself, he may not be able to do it.

As a result, Jia Shilu smiled bitterly and pushed the silver back to Yang Chao.

"It's not that the official doesn't want to do it, but there is really no way, to be honest, the official values this credit more than you."

Jia Shilu sighed for a long time, and his tone was extremely regretful.

Yang Chao also believes that Jia Shilu really wants to make this credit implemented, because Yang Chao is an officer directly under Jia Shilu, no matter how much credit Yang Chao makes, Jia Shilu can get a share.

So Jia Shilu said that there is no way, then there is really no way.

Jia Shilu's relationship in the army is much deeper than Yang Chao's.

Therefore, Jia Shilu can't do this work, and Yang Chao basically can't do it, but Yang Chao still doesn't give up.

Yang Chao frowned and asked, "Feelings Lord Jia made it clear, what went wrong with this credit?" ”

Jia Shilu smiled bitterly: "Mr. Yang, don't ask, the official is not clear, the water in here looks very deep, some people don't want us to move the Jiang bandits, this credit is here, don't mention it in the future." Let's just think I've never seen it. ”

After speaking, he shook his head and waved his hand for the servant to send off the guest.
