Chapter 101: Buying People's Hearts
(Thanks: Feng Xiaai rewarded 200 starting coins)
After statistics, the results of their own casualties came out the next morning, Qin Dong's direct subordinates were killed in battle, and twenty-six were wounded, all of whom were killed and wounded in close combat with the Germans, and none of the two hundred archers were injured or killed.
Tinis's 200 cavalry suffered 38 killed and 22 wounded, Sanquindo suffered slightly more casualties, 42 killed and 29 wounded, while Ramado's men suffered the most casualties, because after he was shot dead, his men were eager to avenge him and attacked desperately, killing a hundred and twenty-three and wounding fifty-four.
On the Germanic side, according to the statistics of officials on the Qin Dong side, 382 corpses were obtained, 73 were lightly wounded, and 490 were not injured. In addition, he obtained more than 800 weapons of various kinds, more than 50 pairs of bows and arrows, more than 100 sets of chain mail, more than 850 horses, and some horses ran away and could not be collected for the time being.
After breakfast in the morning, Su He had already returned with his men and horses, and did not chase Odoaser and others, who fled all the way into the fortress of the small town of Lozlag, and Suhe could only return with his troops.
The first thing to do was to bury the corpses of the Germanic people, and then Qin Dong personally presided over the cremation ceremony for his own dead soldiers, sending soldiers to the hills to cut down trees to burn the corpses.
At noon, a corpse was placed on the pyre, in front of the pyre was erected a wooden sign with the soldier's name written in Chinese, this writing work was naturally completed by Liu San, who could write Chinese, he was now the number one teacher in Luoli in eastern Qin, responsible for teaching the Xiongnu and everyone else Chinese, and since then the Xiongnu and other Hu people and subjects under Qin Dong have their own writing and language.
After the preparation was completed, Qin Dong took a sacrificial text written by Liu San, Liu San used to be Qin Dong's father's accounting room, and there was still a little ink in his stomach, and a sacrificial text was also written decently, at least Qin Dong thought so.
Qin Dong slowly read out the memorial text, because it was Chinese, the officers and soldiers under him who had just started learning Chinese did not understand it very well, let alone the soldiers under Tinis and Sankundo, but although they didn't understand what Qin Dong meant, they could hear the solemnity and solemnity in Qin Dong's tone, and they could hear that this sacrificial text was a tribute to these soldiers who died in battle.
In fact, there is no need for Qin Dong to exaggerate the atmosphere, now this kind of collective cremation ceremony can make the soldiers begin to have a sense of belonging and be able to fight with peace of mind.
After a show, Qin Dong began to light the sacrificial text after reading it, and with an order, the soldiers in charge of lighting the fire put the torches under the various pyres, and the pyres quickly burned, the fire became bigger and bigger, and some corpses were even burned to sit up, which is a normal phenomenon, many soldiers saw the corpses of their comrades turned into ashes in the fire, and their eyes were filled with tears.
The fire burned for more than two hours before it was extinguished, but Qin Dong and the others did not stand here all the time, some of the soldiers chose to stay here, and some left, and finally the special people gathered the bones, crushed the bones that had been burned very brittle into ashes, and then packed them in containers and prepared to take them back.
Tinis and Sangkundo thought that Qin Dong was completely superfluous, since everyone was dead, why bother so much? Just throw it in the field and let wolves or insects eat it, it's a waste of time and energy to do such a big cremation ceremony, but they don't understand the impact of this incident on the hearts of ordinary soldiers.
Before that, the two warring sides basically did not bury the corpses, which was a waste of time, whether they won or lost the battle, they just left, and the corpses were left on the battlefield, which caused frequent plagues in Europe, and the Europeans themselves did not know that the plague occurred for this reason.
The soldiers in charge of the burial thought that the ashes belonging to the soldiers of Tinis and Sanquindo would not be collected, but they were mistaken, and the ashes were taken by their comrades and taken back to the north of the Pazar region.
The next thing is to distribute the spoils, the spoils of war have goods, money, prisoners and horses, after the logistics officer reports the number of losses of the three parties and the number of enemies killed and the number of prisoners, all the booty is concentrated and distributed, according to the regulations, the soldiers can take thirty percent of the booty, but not including the prisoners, only the officers are eligible to share the prisoners, and the soldiers can only get the horses or weapons and armor.
Qin Dong looked at Tinis and Sankundo and asked, "How do you two think the loot should be distributed?" ”
Tinis said: "A qiē is just a score that the adults have agreed in advance, and the subordinates have no objections!" ”
Qin Dong nodded and said: "Okay, the first to divide the soldiers, except for the slaves, the soldiers can share the war horses, money, weapons and armor, in order to facilitate the distribution, Lord Ben decided to convert all the spoils into money, if the soldiers do not kill the enemy, they can only receive the most basic guaranteed money, if there is a kill or capture of the enemy army, according to how much money, logistics officer, how much does the soldiers under the two adults Tinis and Sankundo need to share?" ”
This count and calculation was a very tedious and huge task, and no one in the Huns could calculate it clearly, so the logistics officer was a Roman who was proficient in arithmetic.
The logistics officer came out with the ledger and read: "My lord, after the calculations of his subordinates, I learned that Lord Tinis's subordinate soldiers received a total of four hundred and twenty-one Leo (gold coin units) and seventeen dinars (silver coin units), while Sankundo's subordinate soldiers received a total of five hundred and three Leo and nine dinars!" ”
Since Ramado is already dead, the spoils of his officers and soldiers are naturally distributed by Qin Dong, and there is naturally no further notice here. According to this distribution, if the full amount of the loot is distributed to the soldiers, the soldiers under Tinis and Sankundo can each share more than two gold coins, which is equivalent to two months' military salary for the soldiers under Qin Dong, and the harvest is very good.
Qin Dong asked, "Two centurions, is there a zài error in the numbers that the general's logistics officer said?" ”
Where would Tinis and Sanquindo settle such accounts? Naturally, Qin Dong said as much as he wanted, and the two of them said at the same time: "My lord, there is no objection to the inferior rank!" ”
"Very well, immediately report to the whole army, convert the spoils into money and send them to the two centurions, Tinis and Sankundo, gather all the others, and the soldiers will come forward one by one to receive their own booty!"
Qin Dong's trick is too clever, he asked people to send the loot to Tinis and Sangkundo, as for how much they will give to each soldier, he doesn't care, these two people will definitely have to deduct some, and the number of loot issued to soldiers by Qin Dong here is transparent, and others will know how much it is when they ask, this move is obviously dividing and dividing Tinys, Sankundo and their soldiers!
After dividing the spoils of the soldiers, the next step is to distribute the spoils of the officers, the centurion level is basically the same as the trophion of the centurion officer, because this is divided according to the number of troops under his command, and the more troops are naturally divided, Qin Dong, as the largest officer here, naturally has the most trophies, no one dares to compare with him, and Tinis and Sangkundo have two hundred people each, and their trophies are twice as high as the hundred-hundred.
In the end, a pension was issued, and there was basically no pension in this era, not only in European countries, but even in the northern and southern dynasties in the East, there was no pension, and the soldiers died and they could not get anything.
As soon as Qin Dong's move came out, the cohesion and sense of belonging of the soldiers and officers skyrocketed, and many people under Tinis and Sankundo died in battle, and the pensions of these people were handed over to them to bring back, as for whether they would be issued to the families of the deceased Qin Dong was not in charge, and he wished that these two people had embezzled the pension, so that the officers and soldiers under them would definitely be separated from him, and the two of them would not be far from destruction.
