Thank you for the tip of Tears Red Dust 5!

After coming to this era, Song Qing's habit of spending money has changed dramatically, to be precise, from the middle management of a limited company, to the transformation of the warlords in the late Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, a very contradictory concept of spending money has also been formed.

The place to reduce expenses is mainly in various activities, because now there is a propaganda team, ideological education and propaganda and other activities have been handed over to them, so to put an end to the barracks to eat and drink and other things, it has become the top priority of the Xuzhou department, this more than a year of supervision, it is indeed a great progress, the money saved is all used to buy gunpowder and iron, even if the wine and meat and other expenses have become military spending, for the entire Xuzhou system is a very good thing, It reinvigorates the military spirit that was originally a little lazy, after all, if you eat wine and meat all day long, people's temperament will become a little lazy, which is a helpless thing.

As for his lavish spending, in fact, it is mainly the money thrown at army construction, Song Qing is very able to spend money on all kinds of ordnance and military supplies, all kinds of artisan battalions in the military camp are on fire all year round, all kinds of weapons are produced, or rebuilt, so that Kong Youde and others, who have eaten and seen seriously, also feel that it is too extravagant, the equipment used by the soldiers in Xuzhou is the best they have ever seen, and the armor and weapons on the ordinary soldiers can catch up with the petty officers in other places.

However, although these aspects cost more money, no one refuted them, and everyone was very much in favor of them, and they raised their hands to support them. For a group that is purely based on martial arts as the core, force is the most powerful force in their hands, even if the role of the propaganda team is becoming more and more important, but no one will definitely feel that there is anything wrong with making more good weapons and armor, after all, this is almost related to the future of the big guys, for these things that can create a better future for everyone, no one will think that there is too much.

In fact, there is another place where Song Qingken spends money, that is, a reward for meritorious soldiers, he has always been very generous in this place, and the Xuzhou soldiers are brave and invincible. Even like having a nervous disorder, in addition to the usual drills and propaganda play a role, the reward is also an indispensable reason, there have been many poor masters who were almost naked in the past, after becoming a soldier and going into battle, and after making enough contributions, they have become today's quasi-middle class, and some even married daughters-in-law and had children.

After defeating Gao Yingxiang's peasant army brigade. Song Qing did not continue to advance further north, he needed to rest on the spot, so that the continuous combat team could get enough rest, and there was a very important problem. After fighting the peasant army, his most important material was almost exhausted, and if a major battle continued, he would have to send men to fight hand-to-hand with the other side. Although the Xuzhou soldiers were not afraid of hand-to-hand combat, and even the Ming army was the most powerful in hand-to-hand combat, considering the actual situation that he only had more than 10,000 horses. Song Qing still decided to stay in Tangyin for the time being, waiting for the second batch of gunpowder to be transported from Xuzhou, and then marching towards Beizhili and Shanxi.

As for how to solve the current local rogue situation, it is not something he has to worry about, he is just a Xuzhou general, and he is not subordinate to the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou, and he also has nothing to do with Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao, the uncle and nephew of the Cao family, as for Zuo Liangyu and he have basically made a feud, how to deal with these people when the peasant army goes north, he can't afford to worry about a penny, he is honest and messing around in Henan, and by the way, eating the supply of the local government is definitely more comfortable than continuing to go north to fight.

It is certain to go north, but it must wait until the order of the governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou, otherwise he will be in a hurry to paste it, wouldn't it seem too cheap, this year there are soldiers is the uncle, Song Qing believes that his achievements these days have basically spread, Hong Chengchou as long as there is no problem with his brain, in the next time against the peasant army, he will definitely take the initiative to invite him to go north, only in this way can he reflect the value of his Song general, instead of rushing to fall under the command of others, let Governor Hong drive.

Staying here, he also has to do another big thing, that is, to hold a celebration party for the soldiers who went out this time, and at the same time to give an award to those who have been fighting hard with each other before, before this expedition, he asked the blacksmith battalion to make a bunch of military medals of various classes, this time to give it to everyone, among which each of the ordinary soldiers will receive a commemorative medal for the suppression of bandits in Henan, which is a five-pointed star made of polished iron sheets, engraved with small words about the war.

In addition, the combat is particularly brave, can also be awarded the Mustang Medal, of course, this medal is very valuable, this time there are only three people in total, all of them are outside with the camp to fight the Xuzhou Tanma, the winners each of them have killed at least twenty opponents, a heavy blow to the morale of the other party, is considered a hero in the Xuzhou Department of Tanma, but also the focus of this commendation conference to commend the object, at the moment the three obviously do not know, but continue to go out every day to listen to the news, to fulfill their obligations.

There is another thing that makes Song Qing very interested, that is, the few deserters at the beginning, and later became a horse scout, after a round of battles, it was a miracle that none of them died, Song Qing initially suspected them of stealing and playing tricks, and even greedy for life and afraid of death, but after asking a lot of Tanma who had seen them or fought with them, I learned that these few people did not do anything degrading to the identity of soldiers, but they were competing for the first place in everything, where is the most dangerous, where is it easiest to find death, They took the initiative to go there, and after a trip of life and death, they miraculously continued to survive with blood stains, and continued to the next equally dangerous place.

Qiu Laohu, the leader of the five-person squad, that is, the thorn head soldier that Song Qingdu had heard of, had the most brilliant record, he had already killed thirteen enemies, if it wasn't for the peasant army's sudden attack, but continued to fight with this kind of horse exploration battle, he might even get the Wild Horse Medal, even if it is this achievement. can also get a warrior medal and a commemorative medal, the original desire to be a soldier has long been realized, and then Song Qing plans to arrange a junior officer to do it for him.

Another thing that Song Qing didn't expect was the oldest old chimney in the five-person squad, this originally unknown forty-year-old auxiliary soldier, actually killed nine enemies, this number is difficult to complete even the elite of the Tanma, it was actually done by a half-old man, and this half-old man is said to have no injuries on his body so far, and many young Tanma have already served him. He was also able to get two medals, and Song Qing also planned to give him a petty official to do, so he would be Qiu Laohu's deputy.

As for the other three, they have more or less made some gains, and they can be regarded as very good soldiers, one of them is said to be Lin Hui's elder brother, Song Qing has decided to promote them as a model, of course, while awarding them medals, they must also count their previous sin of leaving the team without permission. This kind of propaganda with clear rewards and punishments has the best effect, otherwise in the future, if an individual wants to be a soldier, he will leave his team without authorization, and the whole system will be chaotic. This is resolutely not allowed to open your mouth, not by anyone.

After resting in place for two days, a temporary high platform was erected, and tens of thousands of Xuzhou soldiers and horses gathered together. Waiting for the start of this award ceremony, most of them have already received their commemorative medals yesterday, and today they are mainly coming to see the heroes who have received other medals. After more than two years of propaganda and education, coupled with the continuous spread of various commentaries, Xuzhou people now worship the combat heroes very much, and they have reached the peak in the barracks.

As Ding Kui, who knows Song Qing best, he can't help but applaud this kind of awarding ceremony, because he has been writing institutional things before, so he has also dabbled in military affairs, and he wants to find a way to make the soldiers glow with a sense of honor without using gold and silver, but there is no result after thinking about it, until Song Qing said the method of awarding the medal in a very indifferent, even indifferent tone, he found that this is a very good method, and at the same time, he also found that compared to Song Qing, who is almost a genius, He was still far behind in this regard, and even made him lose the confidence to continue writing about the system for a while, but fortunately he was dissuaded by Song Qing, who discovered it in time.

As for this award ceremony, Song Qing continued to be the shopkeeper, everything was handed over to Ding Kui and the Wenxuan team to do, Ding Kui was very concerned about this, Song Qing put forward such a good idea, of course he, the executor, had to do his best, otherwise it would be too disappointing Song Qing's genius mind, so he almost didn't sleep for two days, turning a mustachioed Wenqing into a workaholic, and when the ceremony was about to start, his bloodshot eyes were enough to show how hard he worked.

"Lao Ding, let's go up together to confer the medal later, the three who lead the way and Qiu Laohu will belong to me, and the rest of you and Xue Wu will be divided in half, and you can leave some for Kong Youde and them." Seeing that his old partner was working so hard, Song Qing was also moved in his heart, and immediately divided more than half of the award opportunity and handed it over to Ding Kui and Xue Wu, who were also hard working, and at the same time did not forget Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, whom he valued very much, and he could be regarded as calculating people's hearts to the extreme, presumably other people would cherish this hard-won opportunity very much.

Sure enough, Ding Kui was very excited, Xue Wu was also very excited, and then Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, who rushed to hear the news, can hardly be described as excited, under this extremely high honor, they were almost moved to tears, you must know that they are not old people in Xuzhou, even two years ago they were still fighting with Xuzhou soldiers, and now they are only wearing sinful bodies, no matter how much Song Qing values them, it can't change the fact that they are all sinners, and now Song Qing can let the two of them sinners to award medals to meritorious people, as long as they are normal people, As long as this person's heart is not rotten, he will be a little grateful, Kong Youde is more straightforward, and Mo Kouzi is loyal to Song Qingbiao.

Song Qing knows very well that after this incident, as long as he doesn't die in the future, the possibility of the third rebellion of the Dongjiang soldiers in his hands has been infinitely close to zero, which is also a point that he values very much, in the future, he will occupy Shandong, and then occupy the entire Dongjiang Town, with these loyal Dongjiang soldiers in his hands, there will be almost no problems after occupying Dongjiang Town, and the combat effectiveness of the more than 3,000 Dongjiang soldiers is very strong, and the fight is not worse than the Xuzhou soldiers, and it is necessary to win them over.

Almost an hour later, all the preparations were ready, the people of the propaganda team had already stood on the high platform, and began to read out loud with the speech, looking at the young man on the stage who was somewhat nervous, but his emotions were gradually easing, Song Qing smiled very happily, after the propaganda team gradually matured, he finally didn't have to bow down to everything, and every time he spoke, he personally stood up and roared, which reduced a lot of pressure on him personally, he was the kind of person who was born crazy, and there was no problem at all when he went up to speak, After all, he is not a professional lecturer, and he is really not very interested in this area, and he is in great need of qualified replacements.

Now these substitutes have finally grown up, as far as the speech in front of them is the best level of speech in the current propaganda team, the manuscript is also read in a subdued tone, very tasteful, it didn't take long to mobilize the emotions of the officers and soldiers, every critical time, the applause and Song Qing will always ring out, so that this young man himself has become more and more confident, both mood and coherence are slowly getting better and better, until he finishes reading the manuscript, and the applause of the next ten thousand people is thunderous, And the protagonists of this award ceremony also walked on the stage amid applause, but compared with the professionally trained propaganda team, their nervousness was almost off the charts.

Compared with the people who have already adapted to this kind of thing in their previous lives, only the officials in this time and space will occasionally do this kind of thing on the stage for people to watch, or those rebels ascend to the heights, and others rarely have the opportunity to appear in front of so many people, even if they are the strongest combat heroes in the Xuzhou soldiers, they can't help but sweat nervously, and they can't even walk very well, Song Qingsheng was afraid that they would be nervous, so he hurriedly walked up with a group of generals, and finally calmed these people.
