Wu Yong and the three of them came to report the results of the battle to Zhu Long, and several of them all had big dark circles under their eyes, and it seemed that they had been busy all night.

"This battle is very fruitful!" Wu flashed with excitement in his bloodshot eyes, pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve and presented it to Zhu Long, detailing the gains of the battle.

First of all, there are 2,880 war horses, all of which are tall and fine war horses—can the war horses of the heavy cavalry be good! Now the cavalry of the Zhujia army can be expanded to 4,000 cavalry.

The second is that more than 7,000 officers and soldiers were captured, in addition to more than 800 minions in Liangshan, and 2,000 officers and soldiers brought by Guan Sheng, of course, the latter two took the initiative to join, which was different from the nature of the captured Hu Yanzhuo army.

In addition, there are countless weapons and armor......

I wish the dragon a happy mouth!

However, Wu Yong took out another note, and after Zhu Long read it, his smile froze!

This is the attrition and expenditure of the Great War, and the participation of 5,000 troops in the war is not counted as a reward for military exploits, but a victory bonus alone - six taels of silver per person, which is 53,000 taels!

Coupled with the pensions of the fallen soldiers, the medical expenses of the wounded soldiers, and the rewards of the generals, the cost of this battle was close to 100,000 taels of silver!

Although Zhujiazhuang has a big family, it can't withstand a few more battles like this!

In the future, the team will expand, and the cost will be greater, and it is impossible to raise more than 10,000 elite soldiers by relying on one Zhujiazhuang alone.

Even if he recruits An, he can't expect the imperial court to pay for his own soldiers, and he is not a fool, and his own son can't take care of it, so how can he have money for the miscellaneous army.

Since ancient times, when a soldier eats food, he is a mother if he has milk, and whoever has money can control the army!

Why was An Lushan able to overturn the Tang Dynasty like a paper tiger at the peak of the Tang Dynasty, or even the most glorious moment in the history of the Han Dynasty?

The reason is that Tang Xuanzong has no money, and the festival envoys everywhere are making money and raising soldiers!

And even if the Great Song Dynasty was abused miserably by the north, there were no generals who supported the army and were self-respecting, and they were dominant, just because the Great Song Dynasty was rich and willing to spend money on the army.

Even Yue Fei, who won a hundred battles and had a prestige, won it as soon as he won it, so frightened that his generals stood up to expose him.

People who don't understand think that Yue Fei is stupid and loyal, and they are unwilling to resist. Of course, Yue Fei was loyal, but even if he remembered that the soldiers would rebel, it would be impossible for the Yue family army to rebel against him.

For soldiers and middle- and lower-level officers, the Great Song Dynasty treats me well, and the monthly salary is paid on time and in full, never in arrears, why should I rebel? We are still counting on this money to support our families! Although we admire Marshal Yue very much and sympathize with his old man, we are not going to abandon our family and sacrifice our lives to rebel with him.

In short, if you want to control the army, conceiting your military salary is the premise, and the military salary is distributed by the imperial court, and you still want to control the army, which is a pipe dream! The Great Song Dynasty court controlled the generals and the army, but it played very slippery, and no dynasty could compare!

Zhu Long suddenly realized that it was time to activate the golden finger of the traverser

Soap, glass, perfume......

Who the fuck would! Even in later generations, how many people knew how to make these things? Moreover, according to the soap, which is made of plant ash and lard, there are not enough pigs in this era.

Zhu Long wanted to break his brain, but he couldn't think of any good ideas, mainly because many things in his previous life were industrially produced, who knows how to make them by hand? Isn't that full of food and nothing to do?

The education he received in his previous life was all heavy on theory and light on practice, and it was so fucking difficult to get started with theory!

"My lord! Lord-" Wu Yong's voice pulled him back to reality, Zhu Long raised his head and saw that everyone was looking at him in surprise, so his face was sad and said bitterly: "I think of the brothers who died in battle, I feel sad!" I don't know how many brothers were lost in this battle? ”

"One hundred and seventy-two people, mainly the Guards Battalion and the Fire Word Battalion. This is the pension and reward budget, please publicize it! ”

After reading it, Zhu Long frowned and said, "Twenty taels for the dead is too low, right?" ”

"It's not low, it's twice as much as the imperial court!"

Zhu Long raised his eyebrows and said, "Fifty taels of silver for ordinary soldiers!" The squad is seventy taels, the team is one hundred taels, and the first two hundred taels are two, so let's implement it according to this standard in the future!

These dead brothers, regardless of whether they are the old Zhuang Ding of Zhujiazhuang, or the surrender of Liangshan, or the Erlongshan brothers and the former officers and soldiers of Dongping Mansion, as long as they die for us, they must be paid pensions, and none of them can be missing! ”

"Yes!" Wu Yong hurriedly said, this is a compensatory for the brothers who died in battle, where does he dare to raise objections, otherwise he will be drowned by the soldiers spittle!

After he agreed, he reminded him in his heart: "This time the lord commanded properly, there are not many brothers killed in battle, if there is a big war in the future, I am afraid I can't afford it!" ”

"I'll figure it out when it comes to money!" Zhu Long's attitude was resolute, and he sighed secretly in his heart, Wu Yong's pattern was still not big enough.

Although raising the pension standard will cost a lot of money, it can buy the hearts of soldiers.

Moreover, when the money is delivered to the family, it will encourage local young people to join the Zhujiajun and establish a good reputation for the Zhujiajun.

These thoughts Zhu Long will not start with others, and directly let them enter the next agenda - how to arrange the newly joined Liangshan minions and the officers and soldiers of Dongping Mansion?

"What do you see?" Zhu Long is still an old habit, he will never express his views on major issues easily, let his subordinates speak freely, and finally pick one that meets his heart.

This question is a bit tricky, if they continue to form an army alone, then Zhu Long will definitely not be relieved, but if they are scattered, these soldiers will be dissatisfied, and it is normal for people to huddle together to keep warm, even Guan Sheng may have ideas.

Wu Yong, as a military advisor, must have already considered it, and said: "We wish the family army a unique training method and battle formation, of course, we must break up the new soldiers and assign them to the guard battalion and the five major battalions, otherwise how will we cooperate with the enemy in the future?" ”

Zhu Long was noncommittal, and asked Zhu Biao, Xiao Rang, and Pei Xuan, and they all had the same opinions as Wu Yong.

"Go ahead, I'll think about it again!" Zhu Long waved his hand and stayed in the lobby alone, thinking about big things.

He was faced with a lot of major events, first of all, the issue of army expansion; after this battle, the Zhujia army had already exceeded 10,000 troops, and the 500 Rao "battalions" were no longer enough, and it was necessary to establish larger military units.

Above the "battalion" of the Great Song Dynasty is the "army", with five battalions and 2,500 people.

Above the "army" is the "box", under the jurisdiction of ten armies, 25,000 people, and the commander is the commander of the box.

Zhu Long thought about it for a long time and decided to continue to follow the military system of the imperial court, and the new unit was set as the "army", and the main unit would be the "school captain", with six armies: the navy army, the pro-guard army, and the four main forces.

The chief general of the water division is naturally Zhu Biao, but the main general of the four main forces makes Zhu Biao have a headache!

Luan Tingyu, Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Hua Rong, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Yang Zhi, Sun Li, are all qualified, and it is not easy to take out anyone, especially Qin Ming and Sun Li, who were already the commanders of a battalion, and made great contributions in this battle of Argali, if they are overtaken by latecomers, then they must have opinions in their hearts.

But Zhu Long felt that he had to replace the two of them!

The Zhujiazhuang of the Water Margin counterattacked
