Chapter 31 Expanding the Basis
"Don't you still have to prepare gunpowder and make thunder? If you let a certain family go all the way with the big ugly, Xiaowei and Qiao Niangzi all the way, and bring two helpers who are literate and hyphenated and have a good tongue, it will not be difficult to take down these seven villages. After you finish your work, you will escort the baggage and supplies to arrive. ”
Meng Jiucheng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, he was very relieved to have such a person, he was both literate and martial, but he didn't have to do everything. And to prepare gunpowder, in order to keep it secret, he really had to do it himself.
"Before the team departs, send the reward for killing the enemy in public." Meng Jiucheng reminded with a smile: "The military regulations have been promulgated, so they must be implemented, which is reassuring, isn't it?" ”
Mu Yi immediately understood, smiled knowingly, and nodded vigorously.
Before attacking Ma Si and his gang, Meng Jiucheng had already explained the rewards, and then implemented them one by one. But at that time, there were no official military regulations, and there was no nominal reward for killing the enemy. While the militia involved in the battle were rewarded with more than that, the recruits did not know about it.
Now it's time to go on the expedition, and give out rewards in public to set an example for recruits. It also makes the incentive mechanism more effective and makes the team more morale.
Soon, the team was assembled. Mu Yi asked Meng Jiucheng to speak, give a reward, and give orders in public as usual, so as to constantly establish Meng Jiucheng's authority.
Unlike Meng Jiucheng, who is young and energetic, and enterprising, Mu Yi is past middle age, and has been wandering for relatives for several years and has endured hardships. Although the last relatives were found, his beloved wife was dying, and she passed away in tears after handing Xiaoxiao into his hands. Therefore, Mu Yi's greatest wish is to settle down, live a good life, and raise his young daughter to adulthood.
But in troubled times, Mu Yi also knows that it is not easy to have a relatively stable living environment. met Meng Jiucheng, and Mu Yi gradually saw hope. This Taoist priest is so different, both martial and strategic. Attacking rebels, striking horses, relocating refugees, and formulating various measures, the means are diverse and flexible, and there is benevolence, righteousness and kindness.
Therefore, Mu Yi was willing to work hard when Meng Jiucheng had just made a fortune, and deliberately succumbed to it, of course, for his own sake. When Meng Jiucheng's talents were enough to use, he was happy to retreat bravely, with a few rooms and more than a dozen acres of land, guarding his daughter to live a stable life.
"He Sanbao-" Meng Jiucheng called the soldier's name, waited for him to step forward, handed the reward money to him, and encouraged, "Well done, like a man, and let the family have a good year." ”
He Sanbao's lips moved a few times, and then he remembered the military salute he had taught, clenched his right hand into a fist, put it on his chest, bowed his head and said, "Yes, the villain can still kill the enemy next time and receive the reward." ”
"Okay." Meng Jiucheng patted He Sanbao on the shoulder, many of the militia formed by those refugees at the beginning have become army commanders and chiefs, but they have only been trained for a few more days, but some of them have already been revealed.
"Chen Hong-" Meng Jiucheng continued to roll call, and what came up was a young man who was a little thin, but his spirit was good, Meng Jiucheng still remembered his timid appearance when he first met, but for the sake of his family, he picked up a knife and gun, and was growing into a real warrior.
"Exercise well, your body will be strong, and you will be more powerful when you kill the enemy." Meng Jiucheng handed out the reward, and added with a straight face: "When I see you again, I hope you are already a petty officer." ”
Chen Hong's eyes flickered for a moment, then he became firm again, gave a military salute, and said, "Please rest assured, the villain will not let you down." ”
"Go for it!" Meng Jiucheng nodded vigorously.
One by one, the soldiers received their rewards and returned to the team under the envious gaze of the recruits.
Meng Jiucheng picked up the arrow again and gave orders, and Mu Yi and others stepped forward to give the order, and responded loudly.
With a sigh of relief, Meng Jiucheng looked around at his starting team, dressed in a messy manner, without armor, and couldn't make so many red jackets for a while, so he tied a red scarf around his neck.
In the cold wind, under the sun, the flags fluttered, the swords and guns were shining, but they also showed some military atmosphere.
"Let's go!" Meng Jiucheng raised his arm high and waved it vigorously.
Mu Yi and the others turned over their horses, bowed to Meng Jiucheng, and each returned to the front of the team, and ordered loudly, "Military song, get up!" Step, go! ”
With the sound of mixed footsteps, the team moved slowly, guided by the flags, in their respective directions.
"Good man, don't hesitate, it's time to enlist in the army; The world has never been strong and weak, and it is useless to bend the knee and plead; Good man, rise up, and leave a name for himself in this life; Brave as a bear, like a wolf, brave and ruthless to kill the enemy. A good man, not afraid of death; The death is not sympathetic to the ghosts and gods, the green mountains bury the bones of the loyal everywhere, and the opponents laugh and inherit each other; I am a good son of the Han family, what is a Tartar as a horse and a cow. Kill, kill, kill......"
You still have to practice - that back! Meng Jiucheng listened to the soldiers singing military songs and gradually drifted away—no, that is, shouting. Don't bend the rhythm, as long as it is straightforward, as long as the momentum, as long as you subtly remember the word Tartar, as long as you understand the truth that you should rise up and fight in troubled times.
"Patchwork, mess......"
"!" Meng Jiucheng's good mood and longing were all ruined by the voice that appeared out of place, and he scolded viciously.
