Chapter 281: The Power of Role Models (Medium)
"Boom, boom, boom......" "Boom, boom, ......"
After a burst of heavy fire, many of the natives were beaten to the ground, and then one by one they began to run around. As the mercenaries shouted, the natives all fell to their knees and surrendered, and then prepared to start kowtowing and begging for mercy. The mercenaries took ropes, strung them one by one, and drove them away from the scene. In the end, they went there step by step to the acquisition point of the Dai Yan Republic, ready to sell these things.
"The sunset is red and the sun is flying, and the soldiers are shooting targets and returning to the camp...... The song spread to Taipei, and Governor Wang was overjoyed when he heard it......"
And the second lieutenant, who was the supervising army, heard the mercenaries singing, and quickly plugged his ears. I once tried to teach them to sing, but it turned out that these guys were obviously not the material for singing military songs, although they memorized the lyrics in front of them, but these guys didn't have many artistic cells at all, and they actually couldn't sing all five notes. But they still have to sing, so as the second lieutenant of this prison army, they can only plug their ears so that they can feel better.
When their mercenaries returned to the territory of Daiyan Province with hundreds of captives, they immediately attracted many Chinese onlookers. Because it's the first time they've seen mercenaries, and these mercenaries go to capture those captives, and then they all look very strong, they all look strong! And this situation made everyone feel very shocked, after all, it was the first time they had seen such a rich harvest. And those people also know that these indigenous men can be sold as labor, and those indigenous women can also be regarded as the kind of people that everyone knows. Of course, this is the lowest grade, and it can only be used by immigrants who live more ordinarily, and those indigenous women who are quite attractive, there may still be some immigrants who are not doing well and are willing to let them be their wives. As for those who are average, they can only be that kind of people.
At present, there are still more men than women, after all, the vast majority of those who have the courage to immigrate are singles, and those who have become families are a lot less. Once a man has a family. That kind of pioneering spirit is a lot less, and after becoming a family, I hope to be stable instead of continuing to struggle. Therefore, the vast majority of those who are willing to take the initiative to emigrate are singles, and women rarely participate in immigration. This poses a big problem. Therefore, Taiwan will kill as few indigenous women as possible, and the purchase price of indigenous women is more than that of indigenous strong men.
"Well, there are four hundred and twenty-five natives in your group, and one hundred and twenty of them are young strong men. The other one hundred and thirty were women in the prime of life, and the rest were small children. According to the price, a strong man was fifteen silver dollars, and a young woman was twenty silver dollars. And you have more than thirty here, and I can give you thirty silver dollars. And with those little ones, I can give you six thousand four hundred silver dollars. And there are other things, which are all acquired according to the current approximate guide purchase price, and you have obtained about 10,000 silver dollars from this expedition. However, you should also have to pay a special industry tax, which is about 20 percent. I'm going to withhold 20 percent of your taxes. What do you think? ”
When the commander of the mercenary regiment heard this, he immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" ”
And when the more than 30 subordinates heard this, their eyes inevitably turned red for a while, and they won 8,000 silver dollars in one battle, which may not be able to earn by extorting those people for decades in the past! More than 8,000 silver dollars, there are currently more than 30 of them, and if you average it, each person can get more than 300 silver dollars. This made them all feel excited, this income is too profitable, it is simply a fortune.
"Brethren. Not only did we capture a large number of people this time, but we were also able to receive a special war subsidy from the Governor of Taiwan, Mr. Wang. This time, it was Lord Wang who gave us a war subsidy of 3,000 silver dollars, and we also earned 8,000 silver dollars, a total of 11,000 silver dollars. And then we got rich this time! The tiger shouted excitedly.
According to Taiwan's long-term tasks for these mercenaries, all those who complete the war tasks issued by the Taiwan government can receive subsidies. Especially for those who pick up and capture the natives, Taiwan can not only subsidize according to the number or difficulty of the enemy, but the Taiwanese military is responsible for this money. And if the Taiwan military pays for it itself, then maybe all kinds of personnel will pay. There is also the consumption of logistics materials, etc., and the military expenditure is more, and it takes more than 5,000 silver dollars to achieve such an effect. And now more than 3,000 silver dollars have brought them here, but they have only paid some loot.
Of course, the spoils of war are also subject to taxation, and the 20 percent tax can be said to be relatively high. Of course, it is only 20 percent at present, and it will be gradually increased in the future. After all, it is currently at the stage of encouraging everyone to participate, and in the future, it is necessary to restrict this behavior in a certain way, and the tax will be higher and higher when the time comes. After all, this kind of industry is not a completely righteous way, so it must be maintained and suppressed, so the current encouragement should not be lowered, but once the limit is reached, the tax will also be raised.
"We spent more than 8,000 silver dollars on the guns this time, and these are all owed to me by the military on credit, and we have to pay them off within three years. Now we are going to take out 3,000 pieces here, and then use them as the cost of weapons and ammunition to return to the military. And then we took out another thousand dollars to buy ammunition, and we tried to make a vote. The rest, that's what we'll all share! Tiger Commander said.
"Oooh-oh-"
The mercenaries also began to chant, apparently feeling much better. In the past, they extorted the people and harvested less than one yuan a day, but now they have gone on an expedition once, and in only five or six days, each person has harvested about two hundred silver dollars. You must know that these two silver dollars are a very huge number, and at this time, the monthly income of each regular army is only seven or eight yuan, which is still a high income given by Taiwan. And in just a few days, I earned two hundred silver dollars, which is really three years of opening!
And the guns of these mercenaries are all owed to them on credit by Taiwan, and they are all second-hand goods used by Taiwan. And the bullets were also purchased from Wang Guorui. Wang Guorui also obtained a way to make money from these mercenaries, and every time these mercenaries finished the war, in addition to paying taxes, a part of the income had to flow from their pockets into Wang Guorui's pockets, so that they could make a lot of money. This amount of money has gone into Wang Guorui's small treasury, and when Wang Guorui wants to use it, that is how to use it. So don't look at these mercenaries who make a lot of money, but they have a lot of money that will flow into Wang Guorui through taxes and guns and ammunition, as well as Taiwan's government army, which is equivalent to Taiwan's three aspects of earnings.
And then, the tiger also took the initiative to take out five hundred silver dollars, and then put it in front of the second lieutenant.
"Lord Warden, this is for you!" Tiger said.
Of course, the tiger knew that if he wanted to continue to mix the bowl of rice, he had to serve this prison army well. If the supervisor deliberately cheats them when he writes a report to his superiors, then they will definitely be deliberately targeted and suppressed by the Taiwan authorities. So he plans to give a sum of money to these prison guards, hoping that he can say good things for himself in the future! What's more, everyone is here to guide him to the combat ability of these recruits, so he should also be given some money.
"No, no, no, I can't ask for it. Our prison army does not participate in dividends, you still take this, you don't have to give it to me! The lieutenant said.
This second lieutenant would not have violated military law for the sake of this money and ruined his future. According to the regulations, these supervisors do not participate in the dividends of the mercenary group, this is because Wang Guorui has to maintain military discipline. If these officers all go to participate in mercenary dividends, then what is the difference between them and mercenaries? If they can get more money from the mercenaries at that time, then I am afraid that many of them will betray Taiwan. Therefore, Taiwan strictly prohibits them from receiving dividends and wealth from mercenaries, at most, they can accept some mercenary meals, but they absolutely cannot accept valuable wealth.
If they dare to accept the wealth of mercenaries without permission, then I am afraid that they will all end up being court-martialed. Therefore, they did not dare to accept it at all, and if they did, it would be equivalent to not only losing their future, but also sending them to a military court for trial. As long as the officers in their minds are still in their right, they will not choose to do such stupid things. They are students who graduated from military academies, and they are all protégés of the Son of Heaven, and their future prospects are definitely limitless. If they choose this money, the future will definitely be ruined. At that time, not only will the student status of the military academy be cancelled, but the opportunity for the protégé of the son of heaven will be gone. They even have to inform the people in their hometowns, so that the people in their hometowns are disgraced. Therefore, they will never be able to accept it, and their families will not be able to raise their heads at that time.
"Is this a group of tiger mercenaries? I'm a staff member of the Nanyang Commissioner's Office of the Taiwan Garrison Department, and we're looking for the head of your Tiger Mercenary Regiment! ”
In fact, this Nanyang commissioner of the Taiwan Garrison Department is responsible for the staff sent from the island of Taiwan, who is responsible for guiding the building of the security force in this Nanyang region and inspecting and supervising the establishment of the Nanyang garrison work. And the commissioner's office has a team under it, so now someone will come over immediately.
"Excuse me, my lord, is there anything wrong with finding the villain?" Tiger asked. (To be continued.) )
