Chapter 105: The Aftermath of the Battle
That is, these thieves can't be completely wiped out, otherwise how can he, the captain of the bandit suppression school who is in charge of the three nearby counties and eight townships, deal with himself? The bandits are gone, and he, the captain of Taolin Sai and Taolin, who has just been rebuilt for less than a year, has no need to exist.
Although it can play a role in deterring nearby thieves and protecting the three counties and eight townships. I'm afraid that those generals in the county may not be able to allow him to continue to exist! Although it is only possible to be hated by them, it is not unguarded. Therefore, Wen Chou does not want to have a little bit of thief atmosphere in his jurisdiction. As long as these thieves do not affect his "big plan", he is willing to 'coexist peacefully' with them.
Of course, this is all what Wen Chou thinks in his own heart, and others don't know it.
When the ugliness of the situation caused people to look at the thieves at present, and caused people to search the wealth in the camp, it was no problem.
This battle lasted for three or four hours, including, of course, the period when Wen Chou led the army to pursue the thieves. If we were to speak of the fighting at the mouth of the camp, it would have lasted only one or two hours. Although the real fight did not take a long time, the aftermath after occupying the bandit camp really required some thought and time.
It wasn't until night fell, when the bright moon hung high, reflecting this silver-clad world, which was quite weird, that the statistics were completed.
The Thieves' Camp Hall.
The lights are bright and the atmosphere is pleasant.
Wen Chou sat in the hall, and Jiang Xuan led Shahe Township, Taolinsai and other principals to be listed on the left; The people in charge of the counties and townships of Gaoyi County are listed on the right. It is the concluding deliberation after the extermination of the thieves.
Wen Chou glanced at everyone in the hall with a smile on his face, and said: "After this battle, the purpose of our trip has been achieved!" Thanks to all of you! ”
"Wen Jun not only strategized, but also worked hard to kill the enemy, which should be the first credit!" Dong Jiang stroked the short beard under his chin and said with a smile.
"Hehe, Dong Jun doesn't need to compliment contemptible people, now is not the time to talk about merit, should I inform you of the benefits of this trip first?" Wen Chou laughed. Then facing Shuzuo Chen Ningyan, he said: "Mingzhi, you can talk about the situation of this battle." ”
When Chen Ning heard this, he immediately got up and came to the hall, and after he dressed up and saluted the surroundings, he said in dialect: "In this battle, our army won a great victory, killing a total of 3,650 enemies, wounding 867 enemies, and capturing 17,421 thieves. He obtained 67,000 stones of fine grain, 2,562 intact knives, 23 pairs of armor, 632 spears, 6,000 bamboo guns, more than 4,000 broken knives, 1,035 ploughing cattle, 367 war horses, 10,000 farm tools, more than 8,000 houses, and 60,000 acres of inferior land. ”
Chen Ning slowed down for a moment and then said, "I got 1,076 bows and arrows, 36,000 arrows, a number of other items, and gold and silver artifacts worth about 35 million yuan. A total of 1,073 people were killed, 1,097 were seriously wounded, and more than 3,000 were slightly wounded. ”
For a while, everyone in the hall was silent. Although this battle was a great victory, it also lost a lot of personnel, and the number of people killed in the battle alone was thousands! On the other hand, more than 3,000 people were killed on the side of the thieves, and there were not many people seriously injured. It's just that the current level of medical and health care is low, and in this bad weather, all the people who can't be treated have given them a happy moment at the moment. This is also a helpless act.
These damages are really nothing compared to the gains. However, the compensatory work for these dead must be done well. This was the first thing on Wen Chou's mind. As the saying goes, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. He has been practicing this principle for nearly a year since he was born. That's why there is the current Wen Xiaowei and Wen Youzhi!
"In this way, everything is done, and after our army rests here for one night, we can return to our hometown for the New Year! It's just that the dead and seriously injured still need more compensation. What do you think? Wen Chou said in a deep voice.
"Yes, those who died in battle are all meritorious people, and their families should not be treated badly." Dong Jiang was the first to speak.
"Naturally, although the villagers are brave and strong, they all come to attack the thieves voluntarily, but after the casualties, they must be given a certain amount of compensation!" Chen Ning said.
"As it should be." The county lieutenant of Gaoyi also agreed. Originally, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to give an explanation to the people of his county! Now it seems that I have thought too much.
"In this case, this time the thief Kougui County has thousands of people as an assistant, and it must be rewarded. How about the 350,000 yuan of gold and silver artifacts that will be taken out of 20 million yuan and returned to your county? Wen Chou said to the lieutenant of Gaoyi County. However, before he could answer, he continued: "But other materials can't be divided into your county." ”
"Huh?" The county lieutenant of Gaoyi was quite surprised, after all, they only played a little auxiliary role in this battle! For the campaign as a whole, it is not the most important. It's just that because they don't have any battlefield experience, they have slightly more casualties! Even so, the pension funds of those casualty families will inevitably not reach 20 million!
"Why, if County Lieutenant Gao has any questions, just say it." Wen Chou said.
"Well, there is no doubt, so on behalf of the villagers of Gaoyi County, we have thanked Wen Jun for his kindness!" After the county lieutenant of Gaoyi met the people in charge of the generals with excited faces on his side, he said respectfully.
"Well, that's fine, it's just that with this money, I hope you and others can use tens of millions of dollars to compensate the more than 1,000 people who died in battle. In addition, some can also be distributed to other villagers who have contributed a lot. As for the rest of the money, you can distribute it yourself. Wen Chou pondered for a moment, but still suggested out loud.
"Obey Wenjun's orders!" The county lieutenant of Gaoyi said with a smile.
"As for the 15 million money received by the village, 10 million will also be given to appease the villagers. Seven hundred and thirty-four people were killed in the battle, each of them was ten thousand dollars, half of the seriously wounded, and half of the others waited! Other pensions are the same as those of military personnel! Do you have any objections? Wen Chou decided immediately.
"It's up to Wen Jun to decide!" Everyone in Shahe Township has no opinions, and they all know that according to Wen Chou's character, they will not be lost.
"In this case, let's talk about how to arrange these nearly 20,000 captives!" Wen Chou nodded with satisfaction and raised another topic.
"20,000 captives, and now in the middle of winter, it is naturally impossible to bring them back to Shahe Township! Even the original people of Daying Township and Jihe Township in Gaoyi County must also return to their townships! Jiang Xuan frowned and said.
"Yes, in this case, it is a matter of arranging the 15,000 thieves and prisoners." Dong Jiang echoed.
"We will bring back the villagers who have been coerced in this county, and make proper arrangements for them." The county lieutenant of Gaoyi also spoke out.
"Okay, so the remaining fifteen thousand thieves and prisoners, let them spend this cold winter in this valley? Wait until the spring is warm, and then move to the vicinity of Shahe Township? Wen Chou frowned and asked twice.
Not to mention this cold winter season, there are not so many houses in Shahe Township to arrange these prisoners. That is, the villagers can vacate enough houses, and this is almost the New Year, who wants to vacate their houses for these 'thieves' who originally intended to rob them! This can only make these captives live here.
"Two thousand men will be sent in turn to keep the law and order here. There are thousands of people in Gaoyi County and 1,000 people in Shahe Township, mainly in Shahe Township. Tie Qian suggested.
"In addition, they should not be given the opportunity to have leisure, and when they have appropriate labor to occupy themselves, such as weaving straw mats, etc., can effectively reduce their desire to cause trouble." Jiang declared.
"In the future, a separate gathering place can be carved out for them to live, after all, most of them have a grudge against the nearby counties and townships. If they are fused together, I am afraid that the original residents will be dissatisfied. Shuzuo Chen Ning thought carefully.
"Just bring the swords, spearmen and other weapons here back to Shahe Township, even the farm tools should be put away. In case these captives start a revolt. Liu Qing thought for a while and said
Wen Chou looked at everyone in the hall and said one after another, and it didn't take long to gradually solve the problem that Wen Chou originally thought was thorny. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "It is worthy of 'one person's wisdom is short, and everyone's wisdom is long'"
Then everyone talked about some other matters, and all of them were resolved smoothly. It also set the basic guidelines and policies of Wen Choujun in the near future. In the final summary matters, Wen Chou also faintly put forward the idea of recruiting a group of sergeants after the New Year.
After all, the Wen Chou army was heavily damaged in this battle, and lost more than 300 people, counting the nearly 100 people who were attacked by the thieves before, the Wen Chou army is only a little more than a thousand now. Of course, all those who can stay are elite! They are all qualified to be ten enemies!
At the same time, there was a harvest of 300 war horses, and Wen Chou also planned to expand the cavalry again. It's best to be able to make up two fine horses, and be able to serve as the trump card of the Wen Chou Army! In addition, the captured swords, axes, axes, and other iron tools will be re-smelted and made into armor such as Liangdang armor and pointed helmets, so that the Taolin Army will become a real elite division! It is also possible to greatly reduce the casualty rate.
There are nearly 1,000 bows, although most of them are inferior bows with a very short range, and there are not a few real horn bows, but they are more than a lot, so that they can form a township Yong bow and arrow army, about seven or eight hundred people, which can be used as a reserve protection force in the township. As for the two or three hundred bows that were slightly better, they were included in the Taolin Army and formed two or three tun archers.
These are the recent plans of Wen Choujun! As for the source of soldiers, it is best to draw them from the elite of the tested thieves! But it is necessary to prevent them from turning against the water, so the ideological work on them must be implemented!
After some discussion, it was already the middle of the moon, and everyone dispersed with a satisfactory result. Tomorrow, the army will march out and return home with the glory of victory.
