Chapter 130: The First Half
Lu Bu's military discipline of the wolf cavalry in Bingzhou, Bai Tu was originally very worried, thinking that after all, they were all border people, and they would inevitably be wild if they had been fighting with foreign races for a long time.
However, now it seems that the military discipline of the wolf cavalry in the state is superior to that of other armies.
Bai Tu only figured out this truth not long ago - it is because Bingzhou is always plagued by the Qiang and Southern Xiongnu in Hetao, so their soldiers understand more closely how hateful these rebellious armies that harm the people are.
Moreover, there is another "convenience" of the merger army, that is, when they merge the state, they can rob the Qiang people unscrupulously, and it will not be regarded as violating military discipline, even if the ordinary Qiang tribe that has no conflict is looted by them, the officials will only turn a blind eye and close an eye.
Although Bai Tu disagrees with this, he ...... It is true that after arriving in Jiangdong, even if there is no harm to them from Zhuqiang, these soldiers of Bingzhou are a little panicked, but they have always been very restrained towards their compatriots in Jiangdong.
Moreover, the wolf rider is either under the command of Lu Bu or under the command of Zhang Liao, which is enough to restrain the soldiers.
It's just that once there is an opportunity to move to the army of "Pingshanyue", these wolf riders are the most active!
Of course, the best military discipline is definitely "trapped in the camp".
"Father-in-law, drink more hot water...... Bai Tu diligently poured hot water for Lu Bu.
The current tea is a lot worse in craftsmanship, and there is really nothing to drink.
"Huh? Hard disk, what are the difficulties? What can't you and my father say? Lu Bu saw Bai Tu's flattery.
"This ...... There is really something that only a father and son can say. Bai Tu was a little solemn, but he still couldn't hide his weakness.
As soon as he heard "only father and son can speak", Lu Bu raised his head even more, and Lu Lingqi, who was on the side, pouted secretly.
At the same time, Lu Lingqi is also always ready, if Lu Bu wants to make a move for a while, he must dodge it, so as not to break blood!
……
Three days later, five or six hundred representatives of officers of all levels came to Jinling City.
In addition to the Dantu naval army, the garrisons in various places directly entrusted the responsible Ji Zao soldiers to the colleagues who stayed behind, and the officers came alone, so the speed was very fast, after all, the lowest-ranking officers were also wood and stone battle armor.
Most of Dantu's troops were transferred outside Jinling City - although the odds were not high, Bai Tu needed to guard against Guangling on the other side.
In case that Guangling guards Shu Shao too much, suddenly God operates, and judges that most of the Dantu garrisons are in a state of overtrusteeship, and a military commander brings dozens of Ji Zao soldiers...... Decisively lead the troops over and rush over, maybe you can really make the Dantu bomb the camp!
On the contrary, there was no army left outside the city at all, and with Zhang Liao sitting in the Dantu, even if there were only a few thousand defenders, it was impossible for them to be attacked and captured by the other party - just like the situation after Chen Gong crossed the river before.
And the Ji Zao soldiers brought by the armies from all over the country did not follow into the city, but directly outside the city, they were taken over by the children of Bingzhou led by Lu Bu, each of whom led dozens of Ji Zao soldiers, although it was very reluctant, but there was no need to worry about being attacked near Jinling.
Before coming to Jinling, most of the more than 500 officers from various places had heard some rumors, and knew that it was a certain Sima from Yangxian of Wu County, who was harassing the township and behaving badly, and was also hit by the lord.
Inevitably, there are also some discordant voices circulating, which are nothing more than thinking that the lord is making a big fuss.
Some people even deliberately spread complaints such as "following this kind of lord, and being treated as a slave if you work hard", but fortunately, Bai Tu's popularity is high enough, and he has not treated the sergeants harshly.
Although it is not said to improve the salary, because there is no large-scale expansion of recruitment, at least Bai Tu has not stopped the payment of military salaries long ago like other princes.
So now the morale of the army is not shaken, but for the Sima of the other department, many people still have sympathy in their hearts - the restrictions of the times and identity make it difficult for them to empathize with the suffering people, and they can only be more inclined to the Sima of other departments with the same identity.
However, to everyone's surprise, after entering the city, Bai Tu did not take them to "watch the killing of chickens", but first took them to the Protector Temple.
Bai Tu specially built the Protector Shrine in Jinling City.
Although it seems to be empty now, Bai Tu told everyone with the actions he has made that in the future, all the soldiers who died in battle will be engraved on the stone tablet of the Protector Temple.
According to the different merits, there will even be an introduction, in the battle of Qu'a, in order to hinder the cavalry momentum, and carried an enemy cavalry to the ground, before the same death, but also try to disturb the other "war horses" of the chief, and even was left alone a small stone monument, next to the big stone monument of the battle of Qu'a.
This is a native of Qu'a County, and his family is in a grange outside the city......
Although he is only long, his merits and spirit make him have his own stone tablet in the Protector Temple.
"And I can promise you, forty years old...... It is now forty years old, and officers who have reached this age, regardless of rank, can decide for themselves to stay or go! The retirement reward is not lower than the pension of the grade at that time!
Now I can only promise you forty years old, but believe me, this year will only get earlier and earlier, not later. All the officers who have been discharged normally, your name will also be remembered in the ancestral monument. Bai Tu said.
If you can survive to the rank of lieutenant or above, the officer will basically not think about being discharged, and ordinary soldiers are synthesized from manpower, and they will not consider being discharged.
However, those who are limited by their origins, who were taken too much manpower when they were young, or for other reasons...... Veterans who can only hang around in the rank of Duber and below, a reasonable discharge system, is what they need.
And Bai Tu also explained that under his own rule, the standard of "settling-in allowance" and "pension" - the pension is the pension that the family or oneself can receive after being killed or disabled in war, and the settling-in allowance refers to the land that can be granted at one time when enlisting in the army.
The settling-in allowance is only granted to the fields, or the promise that the wasteland will be reclaimed by the official tun within one year, which is Lu Kang's suggestion.
First, it is because this part of the existing officers will be reissued, which is a big expense, and secondly, Lu Kang is also worried that someone will have a bad idea because of this!
The land cannot be taken away if it is divided, and if someone maliciously "brushes" the settlement fee in the future, it can be recovered at any time.
In addition, Baitu also announced a new standard of military salary, the military salary of the garrison and the garrison, only a symbolic increase of two percent, and at the same time, the state pastoral government delineated the standard of "garrison" - that is to say, such as Danxi and Chaisang, which are nominally not the border of the Han Dynasty, but in fact they are indeed important towns at the junction of Baitu and other forces, and will be correctly classified into the "garrison" in the future.
In wartime, the military salary, whether it is to fight rebellion or resist invasion, has nearly doubled the military salary, and even if you die in battle, you will pay it to your family along with the pension.
After Bai Tu also specially prepared a surprise "award" link, the garrisons in various places before the selection of outstanding officers of various titles, just after listening to Bai Tu announced the new military salary, as soon as he left the Protector Temple, there were children who had already rehearsed, lined up outside to wear garlands to the awarders, and the silver medals made by the state pastoral government!
The scene was very enthusiastic......
A group of officers did not expect that instead of coming to see the "killing of chickens," they were "corroded" by all kinds of honors and interests that were close at hand.
One by one, they even wondered in their hearts, was the previous gossip wrong?
But the ones who should come are still coming back, and after the awards, Bai Tu took them to the military camp in Wengcheng - usually the yamen can't stand so many people.
Feeling the change in the atmosphere, everyone was convinced that the "second half" was coming......
