Hearing the reward for meritorious deeds, everyone suddenly became energetic.

Tie your head to your pants and fight, for these soldiers who don't know a word, real money is more real than loving the country and family.

"General Hou, this is the list of captures and the list of enemies killed, as well as the killing statistics of the soldiers." Sun Daqiang respectfully handed over the list to Hou Junji.

Marching and fighting, the emphasis is on strict discipline, division of labor and cooperation, a link is linked to a ring, which can obtain the greatest benefits, if the enemy is not killed, one by one to rob goods, rob women, it is estimated that they will die faster, after the army breaks the city and robbers, they usually burn and loot, but the difference between the two is that the army is more destructive, organized, and disciplined, like a bold general, usually will first concentrate the property, and then reward the meritorious deeds.

The list handed over by Sun Daqiang clearly listed the seized property and the merits of the soldiers, who killed the sentry, the one who cut down the head of a hundred households, and which one searched out the underground treasure house, etc., all listed one by one, and what Hou Junji had to do was to send these rewards down to boost the morale of the army.

"The generals will obey the order, and everyone except the sentinels and the patrolmen will assemble, and they will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds." Hou Junji was already familiar with these roads, and after estimating for a while, he quickly had a plan in his heart.

"Yes, General!" When the crowd heard this, they knew that they were going to give a reward, and they immediately received their orders excitedly.

Two quarters of an hour later, a group of soldiers gathered in the wilderness of the total annihilation of the Tibetan soldiers, all with happy faces, standing as straight as a benchmark, while Hou Junji took Liu Yuan, Cheng Huailiang, Changsun Chong, Sun Daqiang, Lu Guang, Cheng Jun and other officers to board the temporary pile of generals, ready to reward meritorious deeds.

Hou Junji first came to a passionate speech, and then Sun Daqiang read out aloud this victory in the cheers of all the soldiers, and finished reading. The soldiers below have already been jubilant, according to estimates, the value is more than 200,000 taels, and the Zhenfan army can be divided into at least 100,000 taels, although there are 5,000 people, and the distribution in the hands is also extremely rich.

After Sun Daqiang finished speaking, he motioned for everyone to calm down, and Hou Junji came to reward the most meritorious deeds.

"Ma Qin's first merit in this battle should be recorded on Liu Yuan, the captain of Zhaowu." Hou Junji finished speaking. began to explain:

"When passing through the canyon, fortunately, I was reminded by Captain Liu to avoid an avalanche and preserve the strength of our Zhenfan army, and the battle of Maqin. It was under the full command of Captain Liu, and he had all kinds of wisdom. Nothing is missing. The enemy army was 583 people, and none of them escaped the net, and our army only paid the price of slightly wounding five people, and the results were brilliant, which can be described as a perfect victory, in addition to that. Captain Liu also shot and killed the enemy's head, and he deserved the first credit for doing the above. ”

"Mighty!"

"Mighty!"

"Mighty!"

What Liu Yuan did. Everyone is looking at it, this time so smooth, it is indeed his credit, especially the shooting of the head of a thousand households, many people have witnessed it with their own eyes, even if the previous one is not remembered, just by shooting the head of a thousand households, it is not too much to record as the first credit, Hou Junji is fair and just, and all the soldiers also admire in their hearts, and cheer for their heroes in unison.

Hou Jun raised his hand, motioned for everyone to stop, and then continued: "Liu Yuan, as a captain of Zhaowu, has meritorious service in the front of the artifact, and today he will make great merits, and the two merits will be added together, and it will be announced that Liu Yuan, the captain of Zhaowu, will be promoted to guerrilla general according to his military merits, with immediate effect." ”

"Mighty, mighty!" The soldiers began to shout loudly again.

Liu Yuan was stunned all of a sudden, he didn't expect his promotion to be so smooth, from a sixth-rank official to a fifth-grade official all of a sudden, this is a huge leap, in this way, his crimson official robe is not worthy of the name, one is a general, the other is a captain, although it is only a difference between one grade, but the difference is very huge.

No wonder so many people want to fight and earn military merits, which is the fastest way to promotion for military generals, as the saying goes, wealth and wealth are sought in danger, if you don't come to the battlefield, if you boil your qualifications, you don't know how to survive until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, not bad.

"Brother Liu, Brother Liu" Gongsun Chong saw Liu Yuan's eyes glazed, and knew that he was distracted, so he hurriedly pulled him and whispered, "Thank you." ”

"Yes, yes" Liu Yuan came to his senses at this time, Hou Junji promoted himself, it stands to reason that he should be thanked, but he was so proud just now that he almost forgot about it.

Liu Yuan hurriedly walked to Hou Junji, knelt down on one knee, gave a military salute, and said loudly: "Thank you for General Hou's allocation, your subordinates will definitely redouble their efforts." ”

Hou Junji personally helped him up, and said happily: "Okay, do a good job, I am optimistic about you, at this time, the order is a bit hasty, and there is no official uniform and seal, you can rest assured, I will make it clear to the emperor after returning to Beijing, and the ministry will reissue it to you at that time." ”

When the expedition is out, the general has the right to promote his subordinates according to military merits, this is the custom, of course, there is also authority, if he is promoted, he must be promoted, and the emperor and the officials discuss and decide, Hou Junji is the secretary of the military department and the general of Zhenfan, and Liu Yuan is promoted to a level, there is no problem at all.

"Yes, General Law." Liu Yuan saluted, and then returned to his position.

After reciting the first gong, Hou Junji continued to read: "The second gong should be given to the guerrilla general Cheng Huailiang, who led 2,000 soldiers, in addition to eradicating the resistance, he also did an excellent job of luring the enemy to be wounded, and recorded a small merit. ”

In the cheers of all the soldiers, Cheng Huailiang also thanked Hou Junji happily, for him, not to mention blood, even sweat did not shed a drop, and easily made a small achievement, which has been a very good result.

"The guerrilla general Changsun Chong, killing the sentries, luring the enemy out of the hole, and preventing the enemy from escaping, should be remembered as a small merit."

"Captain Cheng Yang of Modao, Captain Lu Guang of Zhichong, are brave and brave, command properly, and complete the task of killing the enemy excellently, each with a small merit."

"Xie Chao, shoot one hundred household chiefs, two Tufan soldiers, reward twenty taels, and be promoted to fire chief"

"Ren Changjing"

It's really embarrassing for the people who count, the small credits are recorded, Liu Yuanzhi said, the soldiers are engraved with their names on their arrows, so that the credit can be calculated, as soon as the battle is over, the soldiers will report their military exploits to the fire chief, and the fire chief will report to the captain, layer by layer, and the most reckless summary, the soldiers in the army are upright and will not take the risk of receiving the merits. If there is a repetition of the exploits, they will be thoroughly investigated, and those who take the lead will be severely punished, and they will be ridiculed by everyone, and very few people will take the risk.

Cheng Huailiang approached Liu Yuan and whispered: "Brother Liu, first congratulate you on your promotion and fortune, and when you pick a reward, remember to pick those valuable things." Easy to carry. ”

"Where, where, Brother Cheng has also made a contribution, I haven't congratulated you yet." After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he asked worriedly, "These rewards." Didn't you just give it when you went back? ”

"It's given now, what a benefit. It's still in hand. is the safest, what you have is rewarded, if there is no gold or silver, you will be rewarded with jewels and goods, or women can be a big soldier. I like to play two tricks in my free time, these don't hurt, you look at it, those hundreds of women. Immediately act as a military prostitute, and after a while, a lot of silver will flow back into the general's money bag, you have made a great contribution, it is estimated that you can divide thousands of taels, if you only take silver and goods, it is a burden, this is not like the past, you can send it to your home when you are free, this is Tubo, who will help you send it? ”

"Oh, that's right" Cheng Huailiang added: "This time there is no hurry, I heard that the business group composed of those big families is also coming, for the time being, you can entrust them with things and send them back, it's not a problem, you are a member of the Cui family, and you don't need to pay any fees." ”

The matter of the big family forming a business group, Liu Yuan knew that he still proposed it himself, anyway, they have raised a lot of private soldiers, and it is not bad to use them to deal with Tufan, but it is estimated that they must be hiding far away, like those slaves, cattle and sheep are mostly dealt with to them, Liu Yuan was a little surprised, Cheng Huailiang said that he could divide a few thousand taels, which frightened Liu Yuan, and hurriedly asked:

"Brother Cheng, you also know that the younger brother is in the army for the first time, and he is not very clear about those rewards and punishments, you said that I can divide thousands of taels, it won't be so many, after all, there are thousands of people."

Cheng Huailiang patiently explained: "I forgot that you are a recruit, let me explain it to you, if our Zhenfan army acts in a unified manner, the gains on the battlefield are distributed according to merit, and the spoils obtained, except for the imperial court, the rest is distributed by the Zhenfan army, take this time as an example, this time the 200,000 taels were captured, according to the previous agreement, half of the Zhenfan army is there, then there are 100,000 taels, this 100,000 taels, divided into two halves, half is head silver, as long as those who participate in the battle can be divided, according to the rank of the position, everyone has a share." ”

"Another 50,000 taels, that is the silver of war merits, received by merit, the silver of war merit is divided into ten parts, the big merit occupies one share, the small merit accounts for one of the tenths, and the rest is distributed according to the merit, such as how much is the first prize of the head of the hundred households, etc., if the award is not finished, it will be left in the military treasury, used as military expenses, and then taken out as a reward when necessary, after all, not every battle has been gained, Brother Liu is the position of a captain, and the head silver can be divided into fifty taels, and the great merit is one, and one-tenth is a reward of five thousand taels, which adds up to five thousand and fifty taels."

After speaking, Cheng Huailiang whispered: "Gold and silver are fixed, but those valuables are all discounted, one to three percent lower than those on the market, then Sun Daqiang is our own person, if we want valuables, we can earn more." ”

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are small circles, for example, a gem, saying that he is a hundred taels is okay, saying that it is worth thirty taels, no one dares to have an opinion, after all, there is no special person to identify, those big soldiers received their own share, it is not bad, where to care about these things, after all, where is the identity and status of others.

Liu Yuan gasped, could it be that they are desperately grabbing war merits one by one, and those who rob are official positions and those who are robbed are silver.

Refreshing! It's so cool!

He commanded in the back, sent his own people to carry out the task, and grabbed a favorable position, the arrow of the wild wolf, worth a thousand gold, if it were not for sniping a thousand household chiefs, it is estimated that it would be one or two small merits, with his help, great merit was in hand, promoted and made a fortune, it is true that a good guard is a thousand gold, no wonder a big family like the Qinghe Cui clan is not even willing to give two people, just borrow it, now it seems that it is borrowed, this love has been great.

The official worshiped the five-grade guerrilla general and got more than 5,000 silver, Liu Yuan was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and said to Cheng Huailiang with a smile: "Brother Xie Cheng's advice, when I return to Chang'an in the future, I must have a good drink with you."
