Chapter 481: The arrogant army will be defeated
After glancing at the eighty-four subordinates with different expressions in front of him, although Sun Chengzong couldn't bear it, he still opened his mouth and ordered: "Senior Commander Wang, what are you still doing in a daze, immediately implement the military regulations of the Haw Par Army."
"Yes., Chief of Staff"
Under the reluctant gaze of 84 subordinates, all the gold, silver, and jewelry they had hidden were all looted by the guards around them.
At the same time, they were escorted directly to the execution ground by the guards and began to execute
Along with the seized gold and silver property, they were sent back to Liaodong and expelled from the Haw Par Army.
The killing of chickens and monkeys in front of him is absolutely unprecedented for the more than 10,000 soldiers of the garrison division in front of him.
For them, the border army where they were before, there are also military regulations. However, officers at all levels in the border army did not really punish their officers and men too much because of these military regulations, let alone expel their subordinates from the barracks.
Because, if those officers do this, it will cause a concussion of the whole army.
In the border army, generals at all levels deduct military salaries, and this is when everyone knows about it. For ordinary soldiers, the pitiful low salary is no longer enough to ensure food and clothing for their families.
Under such circumstances, as long as there is the slightest shock in the unstable border army, the officers and men under his command will leave the army in pieces and the entire border army will fall apart.
Therefore, the military regulations of the Ming border army, although they are equally strict. However, in the entire border army, there is no real implementation in accordance with strict military regulations.
And the Haw Par Army in front of him directly told everyone with his actions that he was in the Haw Par Army. No one can be bigger than military regulations. As long as military regulations are violated. will be severely punished.
As for the chief of staff Sun Chengzong, who was standing in front of him. The reason why I am not worried about the more than 10,000 soldiers of the garrison under my command will be shocked because of this. It is because he believes that the more than 10,000 soldiers in front of him will not give up the high salary of the Haw Par Army and his status as a superior Haw Par Army soldier because of such a small matter
Therefore, in the face of the picture in front of him, which can be called a killing example for monkeys, and facing the former colleagues who are about to leave the Tiger and Leopard Army. All the soldiers had an unprecedentedly nervous and awe-inspiring expression on their faces.
At the same time, in their hearts. There is also a hint of awe of the Haw Par Army's military regulations.
Let them understand that no matter when and where, they cannot violate the military regulations of the Haw Par Army.
After seeing everyone's reactions one by one, Sun Chengzong's face full of stern sรน finally showed a smile. After taking a deep breath, he pointed to the gold and silver belongings that had been piled up into a hill on the side of the high platform, and said loudly.
"The brothers have all seen these gold and silver goods, and they will immediately order someone to count the amount of this batch of gold and silver goods, and according to the military order of the commander, they will have two percent of the finances. as a reward for everyone"
"Twenty percent of gold and silver finances don't seem to be much. But. After it is really distributed to each of your soldiers, there are still more than a dozen taels of silver in this battle in front of you, and everyone can get a reward of more than a dozen taels of silver, and if this battle is fought ten, the reward in the hands of each of you will reach more than one hundred taels. โ
Therefore, Ben will remind everyone again here not to ruin his bright future because of his temporary greed. As long as everyone follows the Tiger and Leopard Army and follows the Great Commander, the Great Commander will not let everyone suffer, and let you, the heroes who have made great achievements with him, suffer."
Give these people a big stick first, and then give everyone a red date, this is Sun Chengzong's way of commanding the army
Therefore, in the face of the huge temptation of a dozen taels of silver, or even more than a hundred taels of silver. The awe-inspiring expressions on the faces of all the soldiers were once again replaced by scorching heat.
As soon as Sun Chengzong's words fell, the deafening slogan sounded in the military array again.
"Swear allegiance to the Haw Par Army, swear allegiance to the death to the marshal, long live the Haw Par Army, long live the marshal Wei"
Facing the picture full of blood in front of him, Sun Chengzong knew that after the killing of chickens and monkeys in front of him, the more than 10,000 soldiers of the garrison division in front of him had completely integrated into the Haw Par Army and became a qualified Haw Par Army soldiers.
At this moment, another division commander who was in charge of counting the results of the battle appeared
After whispering a few words in Sun Chengzong's ear, he directly stretched out his hands and signaled everyone to stop shouting slogans.
When the military formations slowly returned to tranquility, Sun Chengzong spoke.
"Brothers, the soldiers are going to tell you the good news now, according to statistics, we have seized a total of 1,200,000 taels of gold and silver in this tribe. In addition to gold and silver, there are various animal skins and wild ginseng worth at least 800,000 taels. โ
"That is to say, in this battle in front of them, the soldiers can get a total of 400,000 taels of silver, excluding the pensions for the soldiers who died in the battle and are seriously wounded, and the brothers standing here, regardless of their military ranks, can each receive a reward of 20 taels of silver."
"Long live the Haw Par Army, long live the tigers and leopards"
When the more than 10,000 soldiers of the garrison were excited, they shouted long live with excitement on their faces. Everyone overlooked one issue, and that was the cattle, sheep and war horses on which the Tartars depended
For these seizures, it's not that Sun Chengzong doesn't want to say it. It was Wei Zheng who deliberately did not let Sun Chengzong say.
Because, with the precedent of distributing cattle and sheep in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, Wei Zheng has already made it clear that the real value of these cattle, sheep and war horses is definitely far more than their own value.
In this case, if these cattle, sheep and horses are sent back to Liaodong, they will be handed over to the Foreign Trade Department for unified management. Wei Zheng is confident that the wealth brought to him by the Foreign Trade Department is absolutely unprecedented.
As for the captured war horses of the Tartars, not to mention. As a war material that can be joined in the army at any time to fight, it is impossible to reward the soldiers under his command as trophies in any way.
Because of this, Wei Zheng asked Sun Chengzong to separate all the cattle, sheep and horses that captured the Tartars. However, even the gold and silver possessions and animal skins and wild ginseng were enough to make the soldiers satisfied with the rewards and ignore the cattle and sheep battlefields that were highly valued by the guards.
In the face of the capture, in front of the Tartar tribe that was burning in front of him, in the face of the Tartar tribe around him, the corpses of the Tartars who had just been wiped out by themselves. The morale of all the officers and men of the garrison division has reached an unprecedented high.
As the commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, Sun Chengzong will certainly not let go of this opportunity.
Immediately command the army and attack the second Tartar tribe stretched out from Houjin.
Faced with this Tartar tribe with tens of thousands of young and strong people, Sun Chengzong directly gave up the idea of luring the enemy.
Because, the subordinates with high morale in front of them just need a real bloody battle to test their combat effectiveness. By the way, let everyone know that the Tartars they are about to attack are not idle.
Only in this way can these garrison divisions with high morale avoid the end of their arrogant defeat.
Under the cover of night, Sun Chengzong, Luo Jingshan, and the commanders of the two garrison divisions were under the protection of a group of guards, and they quietly touched that they were still brightly lit, gathering more than 5,000 households, and had formed a city without a city wall, and the scale was no less than that of a county town in the Ming Dynasty.
Facing the Tatar tribe that was close at hand, the three division commanders after a short period of contemplation directly focused their eyes on Sun Chengzong, waiting for Sun Chengzong to issue the order to send troops
Sun Chengzong, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, did not let everyone wait too long, and under the gaze of the three pairs of eyes, he replied with a solemn face: "The tribe of the Tartars is too big, and with our current strength, it is impossible to surround them. โ
"However, the Tatars have always despised my Han people, which made Ben Jiang think of a way to surround three and lack one."
"Since the Tartars look down on us Han people, when we attack them, the Tartars who are guarding the tribe will definitely not retreat from the battle and give up the wealth they have stored in the Zร i tribe for more than ten years."
"In this case, even if we encircle three and lose one, leaving a gap for the Tartars to escape, the Tartars will no longer withdraw from the battlefield during the battle."
"So, we only need to attack the Tartar tribe from three directions"
"Two garrison divisions, one cavalry division, each of you choose a direction, under the cover of night, secretly approach the Tartar tribe after the sun is bright, and launch a direct attack on the Tartars"
"However, in the course of the attack, all attacking forces must not advance lightly. and be prepared for a counteroffensive by the Tartar cavalry"
How could the Houjin Tartars, who were in the depths of Houjin and had never been attacked, think that there would be a Han army that unexpectedly penetrated deep into the interior of Houjin and launched an attack on them.
So, the Tartar tribe of Noda, except for the few cavalrymen who patrolled around the tribal chief's house. Around the entire tribe, hardly a single Tartar was found.
Under such circumstances, the mighty more than 10,000 soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army, almost without the slightest difficulty, easily advanced the defensive line to the position of only the last mile away from the Tartar tribe.
Then, these more than 10,000 soldiers, like more than 10,000 hunters hidden in the depths and ready to attack, quietly waited for the time to attack.
Of course, these scattered soldiers are not really idle.
Hundreds of artillerymen scattered across three divisions, under the command of their respective officers, quickly erected a large-caliber heavy mortar with toothless barrels.
Because these mortars were not only the only heavy firepower to cover the infantry attacking the Tartar tribes, but also the last line of defense against the possible counterattack of the Tartars against the infantry.
Therefore, whether it is an ordinary soldier who is about to participate in the war, or a general at all levels, they attach great importance to these artillery and artillery (to be continued......
