Chapter 124: War Dividends

After a big victory, Lingyun was very bold and generous.

The remaining 1,500 or so defeated soldiers of the new army of the general rudder were each rewarded with thirteen times. In addition, those who were slightly injured received a pension of 500 yuan each, and those who were seriously injured and disabled, he also gave them five yuan each, and promised that they would be given a monthly subsidy of money and food after they were discharged from the army. Of course, the 500 soldiers of the new army who died in the war will each be given a pension of ten times, and at the same time, all the wives will be given monthly rations. For those who have children and parents, the League is also responsible for giving the full monthly food until the death of their parents and the adulthood of their children. The strength of this pension is very large, and those who died in battle, as long as they have family members, will not only be given a war death pension, but also his salary before his death will be given to his family.

As soon as this decision was announced, it attracted a wave of surprise.

The Tiger League is a group of green forests, although there are many ways to die, but in fact, there are many border people who moved from the Central Plains to the dam. They dragged their families with them, and one of them died in battle, and maybe their whole family had to face a huge dilemma. In the old days, if someone died in battle, they were generally given a one-time bereavement pension, and that was it. Like Ling Yun, who not only gives pensions to the war dead, but also continues to support their families, there is really nothing. The whole month's ration is paid until the death of the parents or the adulthood of the children, which is equivalent to the death of the war, and the salary will continue to be paid for many years.

"This little thirteen, aren't you afraid to blow it up if you brag?" Li Wan frowned suspiciously, compared to the rich reward for military exploits, which is only a one-time expenditure, such a heavy pension, it is sustainable. Places like cottages. Living is a life of licking blood from thousands of heads, and death is a common thing. If everybody is like that, it's going to be a long time. That's a lot of a burden. Lingyun is blowing now, can he cash it out later?

Gao Ming was also a little strange, he looked at Ling Yun's actions, this is a person who does what he says. But now that he is boasting about his promises, can he really keep them? Although the harvest of this battle is quite rich, it can be rewarded and compensated, and a large amount of money must be paid. The LTTE is not small. But the following branches and rudders are basically in charge of their own homes, although they hand over money and food, but there is not much more. Where did Lingyun get the money and food? Let alone. Lingyun has now built a new internal army, and it is not cheap to raise such more than 2,000 people. He really couldn't think of where Ling Yun got his momentum and confidence. Say something like that.

After the announcement of the bounty of the new army of the helm. Lingyun also rewarded the people of Tuoba Hengdao.

The salt lake rudder of Tuoba Hengdao and the soldiers and horses of the cottage were determined to be won in the next battle, plus a first merit. According to the new reward system, they were rewarded with 3,000 for their first merits, 2,000 for their first merits, and 5,000 for their first merits and prisoners. Total. The more than 1,000 men and horses who came to the aid of the Salt Lake rudder, each of them received a reward of ten times.

The Erlong Hall and the White Horse Hall led by Murong Ying and Wang Bao. It is set to be won in the next battle, plus a piece of miraculous work, and each person will be rewarded with a total of ten consistent money.

The 5,000 men and horses of the 10th Hall were determined by Ling Yun to be captured in the next battle, plus the reward of the head and the prisoners, and each person received eight cents.

As for the pro-army in the tent led by Ling Yun himself, Ling Yun personally decided to go into battle, plus one piece of miraculous merit and one piece of head merit, and each person received 5,000 yuan for each person on the battlefield, 5,000 yuan for miraculous merit and head merit together, plus 5,000 rewards for first-class prisoners, and more than 2,000 people and horses, all of whom were rewarded with fifteen yuan.

Uncle Zhang rode beside Ling Yun, holding a small abacus in his hand and kept pulling and pulling, then he came up to Ling Yun and said softly: "All the rewards add up, it has exceeded 100,000 yuan, not counting those pensions and subsequent expenses." You are too generous, how can you give a reward regardless of victory or defeat. Especially on the side of the Tenth Taibao, they brought 5,000 men and horses, and finally showed up and picked up a few heads by the way, you also give eight guan alone, and 5,000 men and horses are 40,000 at once. These ten Taibao are obviously not on our side, you are not an enemy. "Uncle Zhang didn't quite understand Ling Yun's thoughts, even if it was to buy people's hearts, but the money was too generous.

Ling Yun chuckled: "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, the account is not calculated like that." This time the reward was heavier, but the spoils of war were all ours, and this part was no longer distributed among the soldiers. Thousands of war horses, more than 7,000 people, plus 10,000 cattle and sheep, as well as a lot of leather goods, as well as weapons and food, how much is it worth? Besides, this is indeed buying people's hearts. This money is spilled, and who else is not on our side of the helm. In addition, if this large amount of money is spent, I am afraid that many of the subordinates of the Tenth Taibao will already be facing us. Uncle Zhang, why bother so much if money can solve the problem. Money, as long as you can take it, don't be stingy. Piling up money in the treasury is the most undesirable method. Money is only valuable if money makes money, or if money is used to do things. ”

This was an expected victory, but the result of the victory still surprised Ling Yun.

He expected to win, but he didn't expect such a big victory. annihilated the Baye Guren in one fell swoop, and it could also wipe out Zhang Sheng and other opposition forces in Huaihuang City in one fell swoop, and more importantly, the comprehensive surrender of Tuoba Hengdao, who had always maintained neutrality. This old guy has always maintained his position in the transcendent alliance with the strong strength in his hands since Murong Ke was in power. But now, this old fox finally chose to fall to his side, and personally killed Zhang Sheng and others in one fell swoop, and sent a beautiful vote. In this battle, even the forced Ten Taibao began to be in an awkward position, they wanted to conspire with Zhang Sheng, but before the plan began, the partners had already been killed. In particular, they suddenly discovered that Ling Yun had an army of more than 2,000 people in addition to the two branches of Baima and Erlong, in addition to the more than 1,000 men and horses in the two branches, especially when this army was extremely strong against the fierce Bayegu and Xi Renbiao, they had to start thinking about the current shape.

The 10th Taibao has a lot of soldiers and horses, and if they are all mobilized, it is estimated that there will be tens of thousands of people. But is there a lot of people fighting the war? They know that there are a lot of soldiers and horses under their command, but there are not many who are really strong. Each of the Taibao's subordinates, the really well-trained old battalion brothers, only one or two hundred people, all of them add up to less than 3,000 elite soldiers. It is estimated that even Ling Yun's pro-army in his tent can't defeat it, not to mention. The salt lake rudder of Tuoba Hengdao's father and son, as well as the cottage controlled by many elders, have obviously fallen to Lingyun.

They now really feel what it means to ride a tiger.

Ling Yun gave Shifen Hall a reward of 8,000 yuan per person. A total of 40,000 rewards. Ling Yun's hand made Gao Ming and the others both happy and worried. The happy thing is that after beating back the soy sauce, he got a reward of 40,000 yuan, but the worry is that Ling Yun is such a generous reward, which doesn't make it clear that he bought their subordinates in front of them. Ling Yun gave such a generous reward this time, what would their subordinates think in their hearts. Will you want to follow the backbone of Yimeng? And in this way, when they go out to work again and reward their men, how will they reward? According to Lingyun's standard. Or is it the same old rules as they used to be? But how can the reward of the old rules be compared with Lingyun's boldness, this time I got a big reward, will the brothers have any opinions next time? But if they follow this standard in the future, they will have a little bit of their own family background. Where can you be as confident as Ling Yun?

Of course. The most critical point is that Ling Yun has just proposed that all ministries return to Huaihuang together.

Celebrate the achievements and reward them!

When Li Wan and the others came, they didn't expect such an ending at all. They came to support Zhang Sheng and prepare to carve up the territory, people, money and food of Lingyun Pei Zeng and others. But now, Zhang Sheng has become a corpse. Lingyun brought a new victory, and his prestige increased greatly. Ling Yun asked them to go back to the helm together. What they were worried about was whether they would be able to come out again after following Ling Yun into the helm.

But can they say no? Let's not say that they are willing to give up the 40,000 yuan in reward, the key is that the brothers under them are definitely not willing to give up the 80,000 yuan in their hands.

If they had stayed on their own mountain at this time, they might have been able to hear the order. But now that the centaurs are here, can they refuse?

It's hard to ride a tiger, and you can't advance or retreat.

If they could, the Ten Taibao would have liked to refuse to return to Huaihuang City, but they couldn't find a reason to refuse. In the end, he could only use Ling Yun's smile to helplessly pick up the people and return to the wilderness together.

Xu Gai grabbed Ling Yun's arm, pointed to the mountains of loot piled up by the Shihe River, and smiled earnestly: "Congratulations to the Yi Da Alliance for its victory and such a great victory." I also have to admire the boldness of the leader of the Yi Alliance, this opening is a reward of 100,000 yuan, this kind of boldness, I am afraid that it is rare in the Great Sui army. But with so many rewards, I'm afraid that the leader of the Yi Da Alliance doesn't have so much cash for a while, right? ”

"If you have something to say, if Third Brother Xu is so weird again, I'm a "

"My San Lang, it's easy to say." Xu Gai is a shrewd businessman, and businessmen are the easiest to find business opportunities, and now Xu Gai has found a huge business opportunity. Ling Yun just awarded a reward of more than 100,000 yuan, but everyone knows that the meat of the Great Sui is very precious, so many times they have to do both money and silk, and many times, merchants are not even allowed to barter. Even the imperial court, the rewards are mostly given in kind. It's really too little copper money, Ling Yun rewarded more than 100,000 yuan at once, where did he get the money? Not to mention 100,000 copper coins, even copper coins and silk silk, he probably won't be able to take them out for a while. This is a business opportunity, Ling Yun can't come up with so much money, but Ling Yun has enough valuable goods in his hands, and he has his eyes on Ling Yun's loot.

There is no better money in the world than war money.

Many times, armies fought and caravans followed. Wherever the army hits, the caravan goes. The merchants carried food and other supplies to the army, and the army sold the spoils to the merchants. The booty sold by the army to the caravans was extremely cheap and cheap, and the merchants could sell it in multiple or even tenfold times as long as they brought it back. Moreover, these trophies were abundant, from gold and silver to jewelry, to the prisoners of war, and so on, and there was nothing to sell. Although there is a lot of risk in doing this kind of business, the profits are also huge.

Now, Xu Gai wanted to eat Ling Yun's loot.

"What do you want? Let's talk about it first, we have to keep the war horse for our own use. "War horses are a scarce military supply, and a regular cavalry should be equipped with at least two war horses. There are 800 hussars in Lingyun's newly built tent, and many of the war horses are still provided by Su Yong, and now they are basically one person and one horse. This time, he got 3,000 war horses, and Ling Yun solved the shortage of war horses, even if he had a surplus temporarily, he would not sell these rich horses.

Xu Gai was a little painful, and the three thousand war horses were gone. If it can be sold to the Central Plains, it will be a lot of money. Like this kind of war horse that has been trained to be able to go directly to the war horse, each horse has to be sold for seventy or eighty guan in the pass, and this ticket is worth 200,000 yuan, so it's in vain.

"Don't be heartbroken, I can give you all of the seven thousand Xi people, what price can you pay?" Lingyun said, these Xi people are a little hot. Although they were captured by the Bayegu people, if they stayed, if King Xi came over to ask for someone, would he give it or not? Especially at the moment, the Eastern Turkic Dulan Khan and the Sui Dynasty fell out, and the Goguryeo people fought with the Sui Dynasty again, who knows if these Xi people will be tough at this time. It's not safe to keep it in your hands, it's better to sell it early, and then Xi Ren won't be able to find his head.

"Twenty thousand for each of the men, 10,000 for each of the women, and 5,000 for both men and women?" The slave trade in the Sui era was legal, and it was also a thriving trade, and the slave trade was still born in the Kouma market according to the market. Both official and private, have a large number of slaves and maids. The quality of Lingyun's batch of Xi prisoners is very good, there are no old people, the old people have been killed by the Baye Gu people, and there are no too fierce ones, and the ones who are too fierce have also been killed by the Baye Gu people. There were no children who were too young, and they were all killed by the Bayegu people. The slaves were all young slaves, and some were not yet mature over the age of seven or eight. The price Xu Gai is basically the price of cattle, and it is also the price of cattle outside the customs.

"Forty thousand men, thirty thousand women, and fifteen thousand children." Lingyun counteroffered, he said the price of horses.

"Deal!" Xu Gai didn't bargain anymore, a slave like this young and strong Xi was sold to the Central Plains, at least fifty times, and it was sold well, and it could even be sold higher, with enough profit margins. In particular, this batch of slaves is large in quantity and of good quality, and a large number of estates in the Central Plains need slaves, and this batch of slaves can be quickly discarded.

"You just give 250,000, and you don't have to be so troublesome." Ling Yun said directly.

Xu Gai did the math in his heart, and estimated that there were 3,000 men, 3,000 women, and more than 1,000 children, about 2.12 million, Ling Yun asked for 250,000, and asked for 20,000 or 30,000 more.

"Third Brother Xu, don't frown, I won't let you suffer. When we look back, the plan we said last time to transform Huaihuang City into a border market between the Central Plains and the grassland is about to start. Lingyun said.

Xu Gai smacked his mouth, "Okay, 250,000 is 250,000." ”

Seeing that Xu Gai agreed so quickly, Ling Yun couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the slave business is really a million profits, no wonder the slave trade between China and foreign countries is so popular, in this way, the reward he promised before has been all settled, and he has made a lot of money.
