Chapter 103: A Spirit
Liang Hong couldn't help it, at this time, he saw Wang Zhenke touching a part of a trebuchet, and muttered repeatedly: "Not bad, yes, a sharp weapon for war!" ”
Liang Hong saw that he had already brought Wang Zhenke and them here, and they were also looking at trebuchets, of course, these twenty-eight trebuchets did not have Liang Hong's share, and Liang Hong did not need to stay here anymore.
So Liang Hong hugged his fist at Wang Zhenke and saluted: "Commander, if there is nothing else to do here, the battlefield has not been cleaned yet, and I will first put those martyrs to the ground." ”
Wang Zhenke, as well as Cheng Shigong, Zhu Jun and other Wang Zhenke's generals, all stared at those trebuchets without blinking at this time, and even rubbed on each part repeatedly, as if they wanted to perceive how to do it through rubbing.
Wang Zhen saw that Liang Hong was leaving, so she walked over with a smile, patted Liang Hong's shoulder,—— and looked very close at this time,—— said:
"Ziming, you can't leave first, these trebuchets are so big, how can we transport them back to the barracks and leave? It seems that you have to trouble Ziming, you are so capable! ”
When Liang Hong heard this, he said directly: "Commander, it must be not easy to build this trebuchet, although it seems to have a simple structure, but many crafts are not something that today's carpenters can understand by looking at their own exploration."
However, although it was difficult to build, these trebuchets were assembled with several large parts, and they were dismantled and transported to the barracks, and when they were used, they were then dismantled according to the impression of the trebuchet before the dismantling, or drew a diagram, and then assembled it according to the diagram. ”
"So," Wang Zhenke suddenly said happily: "Can an ordinary carpenter follow the rules and disassemble and reassemble it?" ”
Liang Hong said: "Yes, but it's best to find some carpenters with good skills." ”
"Well, Ben Governor knows!" Wang Zhenke nodded and said, but then Wang Zhenke smiled again. "Ziming, since it is very difficult to make this trebuchet, then after you put those soldiers into the ground and bury them, can you hand over the craftsmanship of this trebuchet to the people on my side, so that we will use the trebuchet in the future, and we don't need to call you to come and manufacture it from afar."
When Liang Hong heard this, he naturally couldn't agree, in fact, since this trebuchet was in Wang Zhenke's hands, it naturally couldn't be imitated in the short term, but after a long time, it would definitely be slowly pulled out.
However, it will always take a certain amount of time, and Liang Hong will definitely not hand over Wang Zhenke's own trebuchet manufacturing process to him right now.
First of all, although the two belong to the same minister, they belong to different camps, and they are also hostile political forces.
So Liang Hongdao, his reason is also very high-sounding, "I'm afraid this is very difficult, Governor, this trebuchet, after all, belongs to the important weapon of the country, this has to be handed over to the imperial court, and it is also a state secret for the imperial court, how can it be handed over to the general of the local town guard at will?" ”
Liang Hong's words were not light or serious, but he still rejected Wang Zhenke's request.
Wang Zhenke's face stiffened at this time, and then he said a little stiffly: "Since this is the case, then Ziming, you go to bury those meritorious soldiers, right?" ”
Liang Hong then hugged Wang Zhenke again, and then left with someone, and Shi Mao of course left with him.
Now that he has admitted to Liang Hong's side, he is naturally surrounded by Wang Zhenkebian for these trebuchets, and naturally he is also resentful.
But he didn't force one or two trebuchets here, after all, the real master who can make trebuchets is his own boss, can he have his own trebuchet in the future?
So, he put down his mind and followed Liang Hong to bury the bodies of those meritorious soldiers.
……
The soldiers who had died on their side on the battlefield, the prisoners, the factory workers, and the ordinary alley people were all outside Yanjing City, and they were found in a remote place with good feng shui and buried them.
And after all this, it was already noon the next day.
Liang Hong and the rest of the soldiers, ordinary alley people, and Shi Mao, they almost didn't rest much during this time.
At this time, there were less than 400 soldiers around Liang Hong,—— of course these people were all Datong soldiers under Shi Mao.
In addition, there are only fifty people left among the brave and brave roadgoers. It adds up to four hundred and forty-three people.
- Of course, these people also refer to those who are intact and not seriously injured, and those who have been seriously injured have affected their normal activities, there are also more than 70 people, and these people Liang Hong has also made proper arrangements;
There are still silver taels in the glass workshop that have not been handed over to the princess's mansion this month, and these silver taels have to be returned to the treasury of the Dakang Imperial Court.
But Liang Hong's side continued to use the money, and he also paid for the meritorious soldiers, so Liang Hong wrote a letter to explain the factual issues here.
So the remaining silver taels in the workshop, because this month has not yet ended, there must be no surplus of 100,000 taels, but there are still 50,000 or 60,000 taels in the warehouse of the workshop.
Liang Hong immediately distributed 200 taels of silver to each seriously injured person, and those soldiers who died, because they were all officers and soldiers of Datong Town, could not send all the silver to their homes in Datong.
Besides, if it was issued according to 200 taels of pension, the 60,000 taels of silver would not be enough, so Liang Hong found someone to write down the names of the dead officers and soldiers of Datong Town for the time being, and then distribute them later.
Of course, in the end, as for whether it will be issued or not, that is a matter of Liang Hong's words, after all, a large amount of pension silver, Dakang is in such a situation, I am afraid that he will also tighten his money pockets and be unwilling to send it.
But at this time, Liang Hong had to say something! So he wrote down the names of the Datong officers and soldiers who died in battle.
So if there are more than 10,000 officers and soldiers in Datong Town, the pension silver of the remaining people is not paid, because the number of people is not large, naturally 50,000 or 60,000 taels of silver are enough.
At noon the next day, a hundred taels of bereavement silver were given to each of them, and they were all in good health, which was certainly less than the bereavement of the dead and wounded.
In the end, everyone was busy in the cemetery, and Liang Hong gathered everyone together and bowed three times to the graves.
This ceremony made everyone feel a little fresh, not to mention that Liang Hong is an adult and Shi Mao is a chief, but so many people bow to the people who died in battle in the cemetery, which is a big novelty.
After all, in this era, what is important is to be paid as a soldier, and it is also within the scope of the salary to work for the official family, and there is nothing to complain about.
It can be said that the soldiers of the ancient army all came here in this way.
But Liang Hong's move, everyone not only felt fresh, but even some people were touched in their hearts, it turned out that they had worked hard, and the chief officer and the big guy would not only bury themselves properly after their death, but also give them a pension, and their comrades, and even these chiefs and adults, respected themselves so much;
Even if you die, you have to bow to yourself.
When I usually see adults and chiefs, don't I always bow down to them and salute them? It turns out that after his death, he will also have this honor!
Thinking of this, it was not one or two officers and soldiers of Datong Town, there were many people who quietly wiped their tears.
Liang Hong also saw this scene, which is also what Liang Hong is willing to see, he immediately walked in front of everyone and said loudly to everyone:
"I don't think that if you are a soldier and eat the salary of the official, you have to work hard for the official!
It is true that it has been a habit for thousands of years to be a soldier and pay and then work hard, but I want to say,—— I don't agree! ”
Hearing Liang Hong say this, everyone present suddenly looked at Liang Hong in shock, Shi Mao opened his mouth slightly, and wanted to say, why don't you agree with this?
But he still held back, he knew that his lord would still have something to say,—— although the previous bow to the dead soldiers made De Shimao feel red and hot, and felt that he was really ashamed, in the past, it was these soldiers who saluted him, why, after he died, he was going to be a head shorter than them?
He wanted to ask Liang Hong before, why is this?
But he couldn't help it, and when he heard Liang Hong speak, he wanted to hear what Liang Hong meant specifically.
"Because!" Liang Hong's breath suddenly became heavy: "It's true to be a soldier and be paid, but have you ever thought about a kind of power?"
I have seen an army that is thousands of miles away, and their front and back roads are surrounded and intercepted by the enemy!
But at that time, the environment was so difficult that they had nothing to eat, so they ate cooked leather shoes......
They can go hungry for two days in a row, almost to the point of sleeping in the open.
But their army has held out for a year and a few months, and it has not collapsed! ”
When Liang Hong said this, some of the soldiers on the opposite side couldn't help but ask: "My good boy, how can they hold on for so long and have no pay?" ”
Liang Hong heard the interjection, so he smiled and said: "I'm not saying that I am against giving money, but everyone is not just for money......"
"That's not for pay, why?" Another soldier couldn't hold back and asked again.
"A spirit, for a spirit!" Liang Hong suddenly said.
Suddenly, he pointed to the rows of tombs, and suddenly said in a loud voice: "Everyone, what do you think these people are? ”
As soon as Liang Hong asked, there was a sudden silence below, and after a while, a soldier said: "Those are all dead comrades!" ”
Liang Hong shook his head and said, "Yes and no, it's not the answer I want." ”
Another humane: "Dead? ”
As soon as these words came out, all the people present, including Liang Hong, laughed, and the guy who said that he was a "dead man" had a red face and said busily: "I just think of this." ”
At this time, Shi Mao, who was next to these soldiers and soldiers, suddenly had a lightning thought, he remembered that in the glass workshop, when Liang Hong and Wang Zhenke were talking, they mentioned that they were going to bury the "martyrs".
Although I didn't understand at the time, how these people were associated with martyrs, didn't this martyr refer to the great officials who had made great contributions to the country and were honored after death?
Why are these dead Qiu Ba and soldiers put on their heads?
However, at that time, Wang Zhenke obviously also put his mind on the trebuchet, and he shouldn't have paid too much attention to Liang Hong's wording.
