The weather in the north is still relatively cold, especially the wind is not small, due to the suddenness of the notice, the hundred officials are not very well prepared, but they dare not say anything here.

Zhu Houxi stood at the front wearing a thin robe, feeling the wind in the north, to be honest, it felt good, his body had already been transformed, although he couldn't use much internal force for the time being, but this temperature was just a small meaning to him.

Zhu Houxi did not refuse the cloak handed over by Lu Fang, normal people really can't see how far away, but who is he, he has already seen the team in the distance, and he can't help but feel a little emotional, after all, this is the first victory, but this will definitely not be the last.

The wheel of history is always rolling forward, and it is impossible for Zhu Houxi not to expand externally, such situations will only increase, but this time the situation is more special, and he may not come over if he is allowed to come over in the future, as long as the system can be improved, everything is easy to say.

What he has to do is to improve the system so that the empire can fully operate, the complete system can allow him to run well without worrying about anything, and he can run well without even needing him, and he, he can pursue his own path, the emperor's position is vacant, everyone has their own pursuits, right?

Qi Jingtong was also very excited, he had already received the news that His Majesty was picking him up outside the city, so frightened that he hurriedly quickened his pace, he never thought that His Majesty would come out to pick him up in person.

Although it is true that he has won a big victory, he knows his own affairs well, and the methods of training the army are all obtained from Lord Wang, and Lord Wang gets them from His Majesty, and then the food and money are all proposed by His Majesty, no matter what era, how can the army have such treatment.

used to avoid recruitment, but now as long as their army is recruiting, they are definitely squeezing their heads and going inside, and when they are fighting, His Majesty provides all kinds of weapons, without those things, even if these recruits are in good physique, they are just small dishes on the battlefield.

It is precisely because these weapons give them great courage and His Majesty's promise that they can fight so beautifully, so although he has blasted the little brother of the grassland, he has never dared to be arrogant, after all, these are all relying on His Majesty's support to get up, otherwise he has no chance at all.

He didn't expect His Majesty to come out to greet him in person, which really flattered him.

"Here we are." The corners of Zhu Houxi's mouth turned up slightly, no matter what, it's good to win, Qi Jingtong still hasn't lived up to his expectations, Daming should be much quieter in a short time, and after he slowly mentions the internal economy and culture, he will naturally continue to expand externally.

As for now, he also wants to, but the army of more than 200,000 people is actually a little difficult to supply, and there is no shortage of food or anything, after all, he has a lot of food, but not in other aspects, let's just talk about meat, after all, pig raisers are a few families, and sometimes even if they have money, they can't buy so many livestock.

But fortunately, the passage with the grassland is opened, so that the meat should be much better, the grassland tribe can help him graze with peace of mind, how good he is to give money and food, what to kill, and can even help you provide modern breeding methods, absolutely let your people, so that the princes and nobles are more comfortable than before.

In this case, what is there to fight, what is there to fight, what is the point of fighting, and if there is war, it will kill people, and this kind of peace is not what everyone wants.

They herd livestock, and Zhu Houxi also herds, but the premise of all this is that he has a strong army and advanced technology, and of course there is the most important problem, that is, the problem of eating, the problem of eating cannot be solved, these are empty talk, it is indeed no problem to squeeze the colony, but there will be resistance if there is oppression, at least let them live better than before.

"Yes, General Qi is finally back, this battle is not easy, although the fight is very smooth, but there are nearly 100,000 casualties, but because there are special medicines, most of the injured soldiers have been rescued, and most of the dead are inexperienced at the beginning of the war, and the casualty ratio is very low."

Lu Fang is very clear about the battle situation, at the beginning, because of the training and frontal confrontation, there were indeed a lot of casualties, and it was slowly better, which is also the reason why he praised Qi Jingtong, it was indeed not easy, it completely changed the situation of the weak Ming army, this battle of the Tatar tribe has been stopped for at least thirty years, and it should be peaceful for a while.

"Soldiers are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that they will not see hope, they are afraid of sacrifice in vain, as long as you take care of it, this is only the first step, as long as there is a war in the future, it will be a big victory, by the way, the framework of military merit has not been figured out, the army is coming back soon, and the army must be very concerned about this thing."

These soldiers are all low-level people, they urgently need the opportunity to change their lives, then Zhu Houyu will give them a chance, as for whether they can seize it, it depends on themselves, in this era, Zhu Houyu's treatment is definitely not low, of course, the premise is that there is no top-down exploitation.

If someone stretched out his hand, it would be useless for Zhu Houxi to give as much money as he wanted, and there would not be much in the hands of these soldiers.

Therefore, this system is very important, and the transparency of the system can reduce the occurrence of such things to a large extent, and the autonomy of the military should be improved, and those civilian officials should not be allowed to interfere.

But even if this is the case, it is indeed no problem now, the army is under the direct jurisdiction of the palace, but after a long time, the problem will be exposed, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, Zhu Houxi also understands, he does not expect the water to be clear, the requirements are not high, as long as all your small actions are within the system.

"The slave maid has discussed with Lord Yan and Lord Yang, and the general framework has been discussed, the preliminary positioning is that a little military merit can be exchanged for one or two silver at the same time, killing an enemy is five points of military merit, four of these five points of military merit belong to the soldier himself, one-half of the point belongs to the squad leader, and then the remaining one-half point is divided upward, after all, some generals cannot go into battle to kill the enemy, but their credit for the entire battlefield is also very important."

Lu Fang hurriedly replied, but this is also a preliminary plan at present, five points of military merit for a non-commissioned officer is almost enough, but the non-commissioned officer is a little insufficient.

Sure enough, Zhu Houxi frowned and said: "This can't be done, according to your standard, even if they kill 100,000 enemies, they will only have 200 military merits on Qi Jingtong's head, which is not friendly to upper-level officers, I mean that this military merit system can completely determine their rewards, and I don't have to worry about it in the future, it is absolutely impossible for you to do this, but this method is very good, think about it carefully, there is a general framework, the officer's can be delayed, and the standard of non-commissioned officers is okay." ”

But this idea is really good, and relatively speaking, there is no problem for an enemy to have five taels of silver, and there is no problem for soldiers to divide into four taels, not to mention less, Zhu Houxi also thought, this time plus the prisoners at least wiped out at least 200,000 Tatar troops, five taels of silver for a person, that is one million taels, in fact, it is already a lot.

If you work more, you can't give more, but Zhu Houxi feels that it's not necessary, it's like feeding a dog, if you feed it at one time, he doesn't want to work, it's okay to work four taels, as long as you ensure that no one is corrupt, this money can be really sent to your hands.

But compared with the soldiers, when it comes to Qi Jingtong's position, it looks like a thousand taels after such a big battle, which looks like a lot, but it should be noted that this is counting all the money on the chief officer, what about some adjutants, and staff officers, how to calculate the military merits of these people?

It is obviously unreasonable to calculate it like this, there are at least a dozen staff officers in the headquarters, which is equivalent to more than a dozen people sharing these two hundred military merits, this needs to be changed, how to change it Zhu Houxi has a general idea in his heart, but this thing does not need him to waste this heart at all, he just needs to decide whether the things handed in below can be used.

"No." Lu Fang also knew that he just said that, it is not bad to determine the standard of soldiers first, an enemy can hold up for four taels of silver, and the rewards above still need to be considered, and those civilians also have to consider the issue of military merits, which has also been discussed before, but a specific charter has not been come up.

"Well, this matter is up to you for the time being, there is no problem with the distribution of money, there is money in the treasury, but I want you to guarantee that the items that have been exchanged for military merits must be real, who dares to reach out and don't chop their hands, and directly copy the house, when they should be ruthless, they must be ruthless, and then the military merits must not be falsely reported, and this unhealthy trend must not be promoted, this time the matter is up to you, and I still need to discuss with Qi Jingtong later, there are more things involved, but first of all, you must not go wrong."

Of course, Zhu Houyu knows how many flowers and flowers there are, but it depends on whether anyone cares, and others Zhu Houyu doesn't care, anyway, Lu Fang and a few people can't be greedy, and the people below are greedy and they don't find out that it's their dereliction of duty, not to mention anything else, this system has just been implemented, and it can't just rot to the root.

"The slave knows, Your Majesty can rest assured, the slave and maid will be in order." Although he is busy, as long as His Majesty explains Heqin, he will definitely do it well, and he also knows the importance of military affairs.

The army that His Majesty has built from the beginning is simply a Dinghai God Needle-like existence, returning with a great victory, those guys have stopped a lot, I heard that a few old guys in the military department still want to stop it, but even if they don't give them face, what can they do, this is the gap, if there is no such army in hand, how can it be so tough.

"Forget it, let's give this matter to Chen Hong, you, you are still not decisive enough, but you also have to mention him, you can't be too rigid in doing things." After thinking about it, I still feel that Lu Fang has too many things, let Chen Hong assist in it, and talk about it when the finances are up.

Many things in the army can be autonomous, but they can still be unable to do things that reward meritorious deeds.

"No."

The two of them chatted about the kung fu for a day, and Qi Jingtong's men and horses could already be seen with the naked eye, all the cavalry, although there were not many people, but they had a momentum of moving forward bravely, and the feeling of rushing over still couldn't help but make people a little excited.

Zhu Houxi looked at the scene of smoke and dust and sighed with some emotion, to be honest, he also wanted to really go to the last battlefield, when a vanguard general rushed to the front, but he couldn't, he was not like Zhu Houzhao, which would only make you look naïve and frivolous.

Zhu Houxi can ignore many rules, and that's because he abides by another set of rules, and in other words, he can't get real freedom after all.

"Let's go, let's meet it." Zhu Houxi waved his hand, and without waiting for the people below to speak, he walked directly to the front, and then His Majesty left, and the people below were naturally not good to stand there, a large number of people from the honor guard, as well as hundreds of civil and military officials, also followed, although the people here seemed to be a little more, but under the army, it seemed so small.

Some of them were timid, and there were many who felt the murderous aura and turned pale with fright.

"Ministers and relatives Jingtong see Your Majesty." When the two sides were still more than ten meters away, Qi Jingtong hurriedly turned over and dismounted, he admired His Majesty from the bottom of his heart, and he was able to have today all thanks to His Majesty's cultivation.

And how to say it, since the first meeting, Qi Jingtong has been more in awe of this young majesty, who knows what this majesty is hiding, although he feels polite to everyone, but Qi Jingtong is afraid.

"See Your Majesty." Qi Jingtong's pro-army also hurriedly dismounted to see it, but they could also see a smile on their faces, they finally came back, and His Majesty greeted him personally, what an honor.

"Well, get up." Zhu Houxi nodded slightly, very calm, without those empty feelings, he is more realistic, he will come if he wants to, if he doesn't want to come, he won't come back.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qi Jingtong hurriedly thanked him, he was relieved to see that His Majesty was fine, he said that His Majesty had an accident before, but he was frightened, but now he is relieved to see that His Majesty is doing well, even if something big happens, His Majesty can solve it, this is his absolute trust in His Majesty.

"It's good to come back, but I heard Lu Fang say that you have nearly 100,000 casualties, this is not good, they are all my treasures, and you can't fight like this in the future." Zhu Houxi's voice was very small, but it fell on Qi Jingtong's ears like a thunderbolt from the sky.

Qi Jingtong hurriedly knelt down and said, "Weichen has the trust of His Majesty. ”

Zhu Houxi waved his hand lightly and said: "I don't blame you, after all, you are a recruit, I just told you that although you have won the battle, you can't be complacent, the water is full and overflowing, you still have a long way to go, I have great expectations for you, I hope you will not let me down." ”

Once the military and government are separated, Qi Jingtong's status will also rise, and you also need the wisdom to match the increase in status, I hope he will not disappoint.
