Chapter 18: Reward
The only remaining main force in Jidi is broken, and there are no soldiers in the city of Jinan, so they can't resist Wang Yue's army.
On the second day, the remnants of the scribes in the city, who had abandoned the Ji clan, opened the gates of the city wide, knelt down in front of the city, and welcomed Wang Yue and two teams of 10,000 men into the city.
Before entering the city, Wang Yue stood in front of the coalition army and spoke loudly downward.
"Ladies and gentlemen of Huaishang, this time our Huai army went north, it is to rescue Shen Guo, fight against Cai Guo, and recover the lost land of the past. ”
"Therefore, today it is not permissible to do anything of plunder, according to the custom of destroying enemy cities under heaven. ”
There was a small commotion among the soldiers of the coalition army below, but the military discipline of the coalition army was extremely strict, although the soldiers were a little dissatisfied with not being able to loot, but in the end, they were controlled by military discipline, and they respected Wang Yue, an incomparably powerful general, and the commotion subsided in a moment.
Wang Yue sighed slightly when he saw this, because the army of this era, because it was an obligation to fight for lords and kings in the past, they often had to bring their own weapons and armor, and there was no other military salary, so they formed a tradition of going out to plunder abroad.
The generals who led the army even used many atrocities such as looting to arouse the morale of the samurai and soldiers, but the army brought out by this would only be a group of bandits who fought with the wind, even if the combat effectiveness was higher than that of ordinary armies, but it would never become a really strong army.
Fortunately, this Huai army now has an incomparably deterrent military discipline guard, and it is a standing force with military salaries, which is still different from that kind of bandit army.
After a pause, waiting for the commotion to subside, Wang Yue continued: "But for the sake of the generals, the rewards and punishments are clear, all the warriors and soldiers ambushed and broke the enemy's military vehicles last night, which is a great merit and capture, and it cannot be rewarded, Zhao Wu, carry out the reward of this general." ”
Zhao Wu immediately took a group of Wudang sergeants and carried out more than twenty huge wooden boxes.
With a clang, the wooden box fell heavily to the ground, and there was a sound of heavy metal colliding inside.
"Turn him on. Wang Yue ordered.
Sergeant Wu opened the wooden box one by one, and the inside of the box was like countless bronze horns glistening in the sun.
"Shhh
You know, Wang Yue's stay in Yuebin Wine Inn on the same day is similar to a modern star-rated hotel, a standard room with three meals a day is only two bronze slots, a purchasing power is really more than two hundred yuan, today so many bronze slots are placed here, just like a modern company year-end dividends, tens of millions of Taizu code into a wall, no wonder it caused such a shock.
"General, is this all for us?" said the commander who attacked yesterday.
"This is the spoils of war that you collected after defeating the fleeing enemy last night, and according to the rules of military law, you should give a part of the reward to all the soldiers who made meritorious contributions in yesterday's battle. Wang Yue said loudly: "All the soldiers who participated in this battle last night can each get a bronze horn. ”
"In the army, the commander of the army shall receive two, the commander of the army four, the commander of the army eight, the centurion sixteen, the commander of the thousand thirty-two, and the commander of ten thousand sixty-four. ”
Listening to Wang Yue's number of rewards, all the warriors and warriors showed extremely excited expressions on their faces, and they all calculated how much they could get, and ordinary warriors only got one, but for them, it was a lot.
After all, it was too easy to win last night, and the opponent was already lying down before he could barely contribute.
As for the officers at all levels in the army, they are also extremely satisfied with the distribution of promotions compared to the military soldiers.
Of course, this is also related to Wang Yue's previous announcement that they were not allowed to plunder, they originally thought that there was nothing to gain from this battle, but Wang Yue suddenly took out so much money to reward, it was really an unexpected surprise, and it was also extraordinarily wonderful.
"Now, the two captains have taken back the rewards of their respective 10,000-strong troops, and they have been handed out on the spot by officers of all ranks. ”
"However, it should be noted that no officer shall withhold the reward of his subordinates, otherwise it shall be punished with the same amount of deduction of military salary, and shall be punished according to military law. ”
"No. The two captains were extremely excited to call the captains of the 1,000 people under their command, come over together, take the box back, take their own part first, and then call the leader of the 100-man team over, and they will send it to the lower level.
After a quarter of an hour, all the soldiers have already got their own horns, and they are extremely excited to touch the bronze horns that belong to them.
They were obviously not only excited about this reward, but also because they saw that Wang Yue cared about their interests, and could really give so much money to distribute so generously according to military law, and they could still do so today, and they would definitely not be disadvantaged if they won the battle in the future.
The soldiers are standing up, come out to fight with their lives, what is the picture, isn't it to be a soldier to eat food, at this time the interests have been fully guaranteed, but they are all full of morale, just eager to fight a few more battles, collect more captures to share more rewards.
Wang Yue looked at the 10,000-person team below, and every member no longer had any dissatisfaction or frustration, and they all looked at him with reverence.
This made the power of the military lord's divine position rise by a small margin.
Next, Ben will announce the rules for entering the city this time. Wang Yue said loudly, and the pig dragon qi shook the entire outside of the city.
"First of all, all the armies should enter this city without committing any offense against the people, and there shall be no disturbance to the people, and those who violate the law shall be severely punished according to the law, and those who are serious shall be beheaded. ”
"After entering the city, the armies should take the maintenance of order in the city as their first priority, quickly take over the various administrative offices in the city, and seal the treasury of the city. ”
"Whoever wants to take advantage of this chaos and fishes in troubled waters, and dares to beat, smash, rob, or plunder the rangers, no matter who they are, should be captured and killed in public, and their heads should be hung above the gates of the cities, so as to set an example......."
After a detailed explanation, Wang Yue finally said: "Now, General Ben announced that the Huaishang army has begun to enter the city. ”
With an order, the Huaishang army of 20,000 people marched into the city.
According to the marching army of daily training, a hundred-man team was transformed from a column into a column, and then turned to march towards the city gate, and the second immediately followed, so that a long dragon was drawn up, and with neat steps, it was displayed in front of all the people of the city of Ji Nan with the most powerful and neat military appearance.
After entering the city, the troops immediately dispersed to various key points in the city according to Wang Yue's order, and began to maintain order.
When the situation was chaotic and order was temporarily gone, some so-called rangers and thieves came out to take advantage of the opportunity to commit illegal acts.
This happened to hit the muzzle of the Huaishang army, even if some of them even had some force, but they all fell on the powerful violent machine of the army without accident, and one by one they were sent to the head of the city, becoming the sacrifice of Wang Yue in charge of the city.
Next, everything is carried out in an orderly manner.
At the same time as the capture of this city, the rest of the remaining army was divided into three teams by Wang Yue, two of which were 20,000 people, and they drove to the west and north to Jixi and Jili respectively, all the way to take over the two cities that had no resistance to force.
The remaining team is 40,000 people, but the goal is to point directly at the junction of the three Yi of Jidi, where the camp is set up for rest, Wang Yue slightly disposed of the matter of Ji Nanyi, and set off with this army, but it is sitting in the center of the three places, thinking that the dragon is in the tiger's position.
At this point, as the armies took over the major cities one by one, the first phase of Wang Yue's strategic plan had been completed, and the armies were stationed here, continued training, arranged for the people to dredge the traffic, and waited for the follow-up of the 200,000 troops of the Huaishang coalition army.
However, the follow-up part of the coalition army, although it is an old army, must also be trained and organized, even if one is established, one will start to go north, and it will take a lot of time to reach the takeover of Jidi and entrench in the front line of Yangzhai and Jidi.
During this period, the 100,000 elite coalition troops commanded by Wang Yue could not send troops in any direction.
He had time to prepare for the complete takeover of the land.
The so-called complete reception does not of course refer to the reception of the Huaishang Army, but the thorough reception and control of the land by the military and political clique with him as the core.
On the day when the weather began to fall into autumn, the elite coalition army of Huaishang sat in the commander tent of the large battalion in the center of Sanyi, and after some time planning and consideration, Wang Yue gathered Zhao Wu, Shen Dao and the five serpentine warriors together to discuss and prepare for implementation.
