Chapter 471: Sun Chengzong pulls people's hearts
After the Tartars fled the battlefield like a lost dog, the biggest threat to Liaoyang City disappeared.
Therefore, for the sake of the stability of Liaoyang City, more than 10,000 Liaoyang garrisons, directly under the order of Wei Zheng, withdrew from Liaoyang City and entered the military camp that had just been abandoned by the Houjin Tartars.
In the huge Houjin military camp, one of the military camps is very eye-catching.
That is the barracks where more than 4,000 soldiers have just retired from the battlefield.
At the beginning of the battle, at the instigation of Yinzi and generals at all levels, every soldier participating in the battle, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, killed the enemy regardless of the ......
However, when the battle was over, the passion of the soldiers was overshadowed by fear and worry.
Some are worried about their future and where they are going, and some are worried about whether those brothers who died in the war will receive pensions...... In a word, everyone is worried about whether the Haw Par Army, which promised everyone before the war, will keep its promises. After all, the battle is over, and they, ordinary soldiers who can only fight, have lost their role.
Just when the sky above the barracks was slowly shrouded in a solemn atmosphere. An exclamation suddenly sounded at the gate of the barracks.
"Master Sun is here...... Master Sun has come to see everyone......"
Facing Sun Chengzong, who arrived as promised, the border soldiers who gathered at the gate of the barracks directly made way for Sun Chengzong with expectations.
Of course, in addition to Sun Chengzong, there were also ten carts escorted by hundreds of tiger and leopard musketeers, and each cart was piled with several heavy wooden boxes......
The reason for the heaviness comes from the deep rut marks of the ten carts, and the crossbow horses that are set on the carts are laborious...... can all be seen clearly......
Moreover. Some experienced border soldiers. There was already a vague guess: "On these carts." It was all silver, and it was heavy and heavy......"
That's right, in order to let these veterans completely fall to the Tiger and Leopard Army, Sun Chengzong directly brought 200,000 Jiang silver. This silver is a reward for the remaining soldiers on the battlefield......
Under the order of Sun Chengzong, the remaining 4,000 soldiers on the battlefield. It was quickly summoned to the makeshift point-and-shoot platform. Subsequently, Sun Chengzong walked on the stage under the guidance of deputy general Zhang Yucheng.
After glancing at the elite of the four thousand border army with complex complexities under his feet, Sun Chengzong spoke in the loudest voice he could make: "Soldiers, brothers, just a few hours ago, you proved to the generals, to the court, and to all the people of the world that you are real soldiers. ”
"Because. In the battle just now, there were at least tens of thousands of Tartars. Death at your hands"
"Now I am standing here with only one purpose, that is, to fulfill the promise made by the old man to everyone before the war: after the battle, whether it is the pension of the dead and wounded soldiers or the reward of the soldiers, all of them will be distributed according to the standards of the field units of the Haw Par Army."
"Everyone saw the ten carts in front of you, tell you the truth, these ten carts are loaded with the silver that the old man is going to give to everyone."
"According to the military regulations of the field troops of the Tiger and Leopard Army, killing a Tartar on the battlefield will reward twenty taels of silver. According to statistics, the number of Tartars who died in the hands of the soldiers was about 10,000. A tartar is twenty taels of silver, and ten thousand tartars are two hundred thousand taels of silver. Now, the old man has brought all this silver to everyone. One or two pieces of silver are a lot, all of them are placed in front of everyone, and they will be distributed to everyone in full according to their respective military merits."
"In addition, the salaries of all the soldiers who died in battle, our Haw Par Army will also give a high pension according to the standards of field troops, 300 taels of silver for each soldier who died in battle, and 180 taels of silver for each soldier, and these pensions will be sent to the families of these soldiers in a penny."
As soon as Sun Chengzong's words came to this, the four thousand pairs of eyes of the four thousand soldiers in front of him shot out four thousand rays of light full of sharp edge.
Driven by several generals, it was as if they had been discussed, and at the same time shouted: "Long live the Haw Par Army, long live the Haw Par Army"
Facing the expected picture in front of him, Sun Chengzong's calm face once again involuntarily revealed a trace of flushing.
Of course, Sun Chengzong did not forget the purpose of his trip, nor did he forget his guarantee in front of Wei Zheng.
As the deafening slogans slowly died out, Sun Chengzong's face also recovered. After taking a deep breath, he continued: "Brothers, soldiers, the promise that should be fulfilled has been fulfilled by the Haw Par Army. ”
"The old man believes that whether it is you or those brothers who have died in battle, they will be very satisfied with this decision of the Haw Par Army. Especially those brothers who have died in battle, even if they go underground, they will be blinded"
"Next, it is your brother's turn to make the most important decision in your life."
Hearing this, most of the four thousand soldiers had puzzled expressions on their faces.
Sun Chengzong, who was standing on the platform, did not let them wait too long.
Under the simultaneous gaze of four thousand pairs of eyes, he said loudly: "The old man believes that many brothers standing in front of him know that the old man has been deposed by the imperial court Since that time, the old man is no longer an official of the imperial court, nor is he your adult."
Seeing a thoughtful expression that quickly flashed on everyone's faces, Sun Chengzong's words changed and continued: "However, there is another identity on the old man that none of you know about, and that is the chief of staff of the Haw Par Army. ”
"Let's not discuss what kind of military position the chief of staff is, let's listen to what the old man is going to say next. After listening, the old man must know everything about everyone's questions. ”
"The reason why the soldiers were surrounded by the Houjin army in Liaoyang City was that they were almost taken by the Liaoyang army to surrender to the Tartars. A crucial reason, the old man does not say, everyone knows"
"That is, the imperial court was indifferent to the Houjin army's attack on Liaodong. Not only did they not send any additional troops to everyone, but they didn't even have a holy decree ordering everyone to retreat."
In this case, the intention of the imperial court is self-evident. That is to let everyone die in Liaoyang City. ”
Hearing this, among the four thousand border troops in front of Wei Zheng, most of them showed a trace of anger on their faces. Even those who weren't angry had a thoughtful look on their faces.
At this time, Sun Chengzong continued to add fuel and vinegar to the words: "For such a court, the old man doesn't know what you think. However, the old man wants to tell you what the old man thinks today. ”
"The old man has served the court for most of his life, and it is definitely not an exaggeration to describe it with the words 'painstaking and painstaking'. However, even so, the court dismissed the old man, and he wore a hat that would never be used."
After being dismissed by the imperial court, the old man seriously thought about what the imperial court had done. I don't want to know, I want to be scared. Looking at the entire imperial court, in addition to the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, even those civil officials who can only do a little bit of it, and even the border army where the soldiers are located, are also controlled by the prison troops sent by the imperial court."
"The ability of those supervising the army, the old man doesn't say, everyone knows it. Everyone thinks that if tens of thousands of border troops are really commanded by these prison troops, can they block the attacks of the Houjin Iron Cavalry again and again? ”
"Can't those prison soldiers have no real skills at all except to make money and fight for power and profit."
"The reason why I said so much, the old man just wants to tell everyone: The court in front of him, who doesn't care about everyone's life and death, is no longer worthy of his brothers to serve him Because of this, after being dismissed by the imperial court, the old man directly joined the Haw Par Army, and was appointed as the chief of staff of the Haw Par Army by the Marshal of the Haw Par Army."
At this time, Zhang Yucheng, the deputy general standing under the stage, spoke very cooperatively.
"My lord, you mean, let the brothers join the Haw Par Army"
Sun Chengzong nodded without the slightest hesitation and affirmed: "Yes, it is to join the Tiger and Leopard Army." Because, only by joining the Haw Par Army can the brothers have a way out, and the brothers' families can live a better life."
"Maybe you brothers don't know about the Haw Par Army, so next, the old man will introduce you to the Haw Par Army. Let's see how big the gap is between the Tiger and Leopard Army and the border army of the imperial court."
"As far as the old man knows, your brothers' monthly salary is three taels of silver, even so, what really comes to your brothers every month is less than seventy percent of two taels of silver. With such a low salary, how can it be enough for the families of your brothers to live? If your family doesn't have enough money to live on, how can your brothers fight in peace on the battlefield? ”
"Not only that, but your brothers fight against the Tartars at the border every day, risking their lives for the imperial court to guard the border passes, but sometimes you can't even eat a full meal. In such a situation, how can the brothers serve the court to the death, regardless of life and death, and fight with the Tartars. ”
Speaking of this, Sun Chengzong clearly saw that most of the soldiers in front of him had an empathetic expression on their faces. What's more, there is already a painful expression on his face.
After seeing these pictures in his eyes, Sun Chengzong continued: "After talking about the military salary and treatment of the border army, the old man will tell you about the military salary and treatment of the Tiger and Leopard Army."
"Before the old man came to the barracks, he told the old man that as long as you are willing to join the Haw Par Army, the marshal will grant you the rank of sergeant in the Haw Par Army, and the sergeant's monthly salary is eight taels of silver, and all the silver will be distributed to the soldiers in person, and there will be absolutely no deductions."
"Not only that, but the families of the soldiers will also get the right to tax exemption for ten acres of fertile land."
"As for eating, except for one meal of meat a day, the other three meals are full, as long as you can eat, you can eat as much as you want" (to be continued......)
