Chapter 472: The Choice of the Border Army

"As for the pensions for the dead and wounded, there are two aspects: first, the families of the brothers will receive tax exemption for up to 30 years on ten acres of fertile land."

Second, soldiers who died in battle can receive a one-time pension of 50 times the monthly salary before they died in battle. According to everyone's monthly salary of eight taels of silver, it is a full four hundred taels of silver. ”

"In addition, the families of these brothers who died in battle can also receive a monthly allowance equivalent to the monthly salary of a private, which will last for ten years......"

"Soldiers who are seriously injured and quit the army will receive a one-time monthly salary of thirty times the amount before they were injured. After quitting the army, each soldier can also receive a subsidy equivalent to the monthly salary of a private...... It lasted for ten years. ”

Hearing this, in front of the general's platform, many soldiers showed a yearning look on their faces.

Not to mention the military salary, the Tiger and Leopard Army was full of food, and the food of one meal of meat was something they had never thought of in the border army. As for those high pensions, they haven't even heard of them.

Eight taels of silver a month, and a hundred taels of silver a year. In the border army, two taels of silver are in hand a month, and after a year, it is only more than 20 taels when it is full.

In other words, only four years of serving as a soldier in the border army can be worth one year's salary of the Haw Par Army.

What's more, in the border army, if you die on the battlefield and are lucky, the imperial court may also give your family a pension of dozens of taels of silver. If you are unlucky, you will die in vain, and you will not get a pension of one or two pieces of silver......

In the Haw Par Army, the situation is different.

Not only does it have a one-time pension that can keep the family food and clothing for a long time, but also a monthly allowance. Tax exemption for family members...... can ensure that their families will no longer go hungry......

So. After Sun Chengzong finished speaking. Almost all the soldiers in front of the general stage showed a yearning expression on their faces. A pair of eyes stared at Sun Chengzong on the stage, waiting for Sun Chengzong to follow.

At this time, a weak voice suddenly sounded in the crowd and reached Sun Chengzong's ears......

"My lord, what you just said is true...... Participating in the Haw Par Army, can you really get such a high salary? ”

Sun Chengzong affirmed without the slightest hesitation: "The old man assures everyone as the chief of staff of the Tiger and Leopard Army. There is nothing false about what the old man said just now......"

"Besides, if the old man really wants to deceive everyone, he won't put 200,000 taels of silver in front of everyone."

After finishing speaking, Sun Chengzong continued: "The old man just told everyone about the military salary and pension of the Tiger and Leopard Army. Next, I would like to tell you about the promotion ...... of the Haw Par Army."

"Not surprisingly, most of you have been in the army for four or five years. What's more, he has also made a lot of feats on the battlefield. But. What the old man sees is that you are still the small and small soldiers in the border army. With a monthly salary of less than two taels of silver, he ate wild vegetables and coarse grains that no one else eats......"

"You know...... Is that why? ”

Under Sun Chengzong's rhetorical question, Siqian's face full of yearning expressions was once again covered with doubt.

Four thousand pairs of eyes full of doubts, as if they had been discussed, converged on Sun Chengzong at the same time and waited for Sun Chengzong to follow......

Seeing that his words once again aroused everyone's memories, Sun Chengzong followed up and said: "The reason is very simple, because you are not the queen of Xungui, and there is no backstage behind you. More importantly, you don't have any money, and you don't have bribes for your superiors...... Under such circumstances, do you think that in the court where officials protect each other, you may be promoted because of your military merits? ”

"The old man told everyone with his decades of experience as an official that he can't and will never be able to ......"

Speaking of this, Sun Chengzong's words turned around again and said to everyone.

"In the imperial court, in the border army, you can't give everyone fairness, the old man can definitely tell everyone, in the tiger and leopard army, the tiger and leopard army can definitely give everyone a very fair chance to compete......"

Speaking of this, Sun Chengzong directly pointed to the more than 100 Tiger and Par Army musketeers who were still guarding around the silver in front of the general platform and said, "Standing in front of you is an infantry company of the Tiger and Par Army Infantry Division. Among these people, there are squad leaders with a monthly salary of 10 taels of silver, platoon commanders with a monthly salary of 15 taels of silver, deputy company commanders with a monthly salary of 25 taels of silver, and company commanders with a monthly salary of 25 taels of silver......"

"Do you know who they were before they joined the Haw Par Army?"

"The old man told everyone that before they joined the Haw Par Army, they were not even as good as you. Because, you at least have a home to shelter from the wind and rain, and they don't even have a home......"

"Such a group of people, do you think they have a backstage and silver?"

"No, they don't have anything, not even food to fill their stomachs. However, it is such a group of people who, after joining the Haw Par Army, have become officers who have never been able to become in the border army in just two years by virtue of the completion of the project......"

"The old man said so much, I just want to tell everyone one thing...... As long as everyone joins the Haw Par Army and trains well in the Haw Par Army to fight the enemy...... With your skills, it won't be long before you become an officer, and you will receive more and more generous salaries......"

Having said that, Sun Chengzong did not hesitate too much, and directly put the choice in everyone's hands.

After taking a deep breath, he finally spoke: "Here, the old man will say one last word...... From now on, the entire Liaodong will be the world of the Tiger and Leopard Army...... Regardless of whether you join the Haw Par Army or not, your family will be protected by the Haw Par Army......"

"Now, the old man commanded...... Brothers who are willing to join the Haw Par Army should sign up on the left side of the platform immediately...... If you don't want to, quit the army with the bounty, and the Haw Par Army will definitely not embarrass everyone......"

Sun Chengzong's last sentence has only one purpose, that is, to reassure everyone......

From now on, Liaodong will be the world of the Haw Par Army, and the Haw Par Army will no longer withdraw from the Liaodong Peninsula. In this case, even if everyone joins the Haw Par Army and leaves the border army. The imperial court also had nothing to do with their families in Liaodong.

Therefore, as soon as Sun Chengzong's words were finished, the heat and yearning on the faces of the four thousand soldiers were covered with excitement?

At this time, I don't know who took the lead.

When the first frontier soldier, with yearning and excitement for the future, rushed to the Dianjiangtai to sign up. A full 4,000 soldiers became boiling in an instant.

It's like a flood that bursts the embankment, rushing to the Dianjiangtai to sign up......

Of course, among these people, there are also some officers who follow the Dingding court, who are unwilling and have no intention of joining the Haw Par Army.

For these people, Sun Chengzong was not embarrassed. After all, they are all heroes who once killed Tartars on the battlefield. After the reward of fifty taels of silver was issued, he let them leave the barracks without the slightest embarrassment...... (To be continued......)
