Section 2: Victory (Part II)
"Think about how precious it would be when many years from now, when our team continues to grow, when we have thousands, tens of thousands, even millions of people, and these medals are still only as many as they are today!"
Speaking of this, Townsend's voice slowed down a little: "At the same time, this medal also contains my gratitude to everyone. Because you extended your hand to me when I needed help the most! I know that it is useless to say too much gratitude, so this medal is also a certificate for everyone to exchange gold coins with me in the future. ”
"Exchange for gold coins?" Hearing this, the warriors' eyes began to light up.
"Everyone worked hard and worked hard to help me win this battle, of course I have to be worthy of everyone. But as you can see, in our seizures, there are actually quite few gold coins. So everyone has to give me some time to make money and raise money. Townsend didn't care whether they understood it or not: "There is a mark on the back of each medal, and after a month, you can exchange the medal from me for five gold coins, after three months you can exchange it for ten, after six months for fifty, and after one year for two hundred!"
"Wow—thank you, sir!", the warrior could no longer hold back his excitement, and Chief Townsend said in public, as long as the one-year period expires, he can exchange two hundred gold coins!
"Don't worry if you don't have any money to spend now, how can you have no money if you win a battle?" this is what Townsend wanted, and he laughed: "Give each person five gold coins first!"
"Sir, wise!" the monkey took the lead in cheering, and the tribal warriors followed suit, expressing their fanatical emotions in such language: "Sir, wise!"
"Always follow the chief! Eat and drink spicy and divide gold coins!" The old men of the spicy mercenaries shouted this kind of thing very skillfully, and the warriors behind them also shouted in a daze: "Always follow the chief! Eat and drink spicy and divide gold coins!"
After shouting several rounds, the officers rushed to the middle of the warriors with a "hula" sound, took hands and hugged them, and said: "Okay!
The silly tribal warriors hadn't reacted yet, and by the time they had reacted a little, they didn't know how many times they had said the words of loyalty to Chief Townsend, but their faces were so dark that they couldn't see any shame at all—but the officers were only enthusiastic and didn't talk about it. Because Townsend had instructed that it would be counterproductive to do so at the moment, and it would be enough to pick a little bit of window paper, and the effect would naturally be seen when the time was ripe.
"Sir, do we really not have enough money?" the monkey asked quietly, he knew how much money he was in charge of the seizure now.
"Enough, five times more is enough. Townsend did not hide anything from his old brother, he patted the monkey on the shoulder, and whispered to him: "Don't be quiet, look slowly, there is definitely a reason why you and I do this kind of thing." ”
"Understood. The monkey nodded again and again: "I only watch, and no one will tell me!"
In fact, from the standpoint of a bystander, Townsend is not difficult to guess, he just made up his mind not to return these people back to the tribe, the people standing here today have actual combat experience, that is, his team, one more person is more strength - money is not a problem, but if it is given to them now, who will come back?
This medal will create great contradictions between warriors and chiefs, and it will not be so useful.
"Brothers, go back to Warehouse Town!" Townsend saw that things were going on more or less and gave the order to retreat.
As it darkened, the large army carrying the captives and captives finally arrived in Warehousetown. So the whole town was boiling, and the chiefs and village chiefs who had been waiting here for a long time couldn't help but rush out of the town to meet them. They didn't care about greeting Townsend first, and circled around the seizure first, and their saliva was about to drip down.
A few people also wanted to snatch the pure gold medal hanging around their necks, but they were naturally stopped by the officers. This little episode is not big, but the influence among the warriors is very bad, everyone has something, after being robbed, isn't he a dwarf? And under Chief Townsend, the officers never rob other people's things, how can their own chieftain village chief do this?
Townsend couldn't help but secretly enjoy in his heart, and in many cases, the gap was found because there was a comparison. After a few days of mixing under his own hands, it may be difficult for these people to convince their chiefs and village chiefs anymore......
That night, the warehouse town was brightly lit, and representatives gathered in the open space of the hostel to hold a bonfire to divide the spoils!
It must have been cheesy in the eyes of the regular army, but nothing more irritating to the eyes and hearts of the people than this.
According to Townshend's promise in advance, all the seizures were divided into six parts, four for himself, and the rest for the three tribes and eleven villages to be divided equally according to the amount of effort. Ordnance, pack horses, gold coins, and so on, but after the distribution, Townsend took out the gold coins from his share, and bought the ordnance and pack horses from the chiefs and village chiefs on the spot, and gave them a fair price.
Ordnance pack horses, this is something Townsend desperately needs at the moment, and gold coins are not so important. On the other hand, he knew that the chiefs and village chiefs would definitely be rich, and comparing their own justice with their greed was another victory to win hearts and minds...... Many times, the key to similar things is not how much you do or how little, but whether you do it silently and without a trace.
After the account was divided, under the light of the raging fire, Townsend walked into the field again, full of spirit.
"When the team was formed, I, the leader, didn't name the team. Do you know why?"
"It's not time!" everyone knows the reason, so the answer is neat.
"Yes, the time is not coming, but now, the time is ripe!" Townsend reverberated in the night sky in a clear and powerful voice: "Today, I stand on this irrefutable victory, I stand on the flesh and blood of the enemy, revealing our common name to you!"
With a wave of Townsend's hand, the captain and Bennett stepped forward, each holding a folded flag. The officers and stewards who followed each picked up a corner and slowly pulled the two flags apart, allowing the patterns on them to be revealed in the firelight.
The flags are bright red in the captain's hand and blue in Bennet's hand, and the embroidery pattern that makes up the pattern is golden yellow, so it is very conspicuous in the night - the core of the pattern is two roses, the upper left is just in full bloom, the lower right is budding, and the bottom is surrounded by a bush of thorns, and the huge flag slowly ripples under the campfire, making this group of thorn roses come to life.
