Chapter 82: Don't let the armies return empty-handed
"There are quite a few." Oi Shengchao replied, the first two times the city was broken, the soldiers didn't make a good fuss, this time there were a few opportunities, how could they let it go.
"How many?" Gao Shisheng asked.
"No one came to me to report ······" Oi Mori was about to say something more, but Ono Tadaaki interrupted him and said, "It's not a lot, a hundred or so dozen." In addition to the women who were kept by the soldiers and above, the women robbed by the other soldiers, the poor monk asked Quan Zhisuke to collect the soldiers and set up a special camp for you. ”
After that, he pointed to an inconspicuous position on the right side of the barracks and said, "Where it stands." ”
Following the direction he pointed, there were piles of rags, behind several tents, surrounded by wooden fences, and in front of a dozen tents, large and small, there were long queues, and in front of them were a table and couch, making a warrior who collected money.
Every ashigaru who entered the tent had to hand over something of value, money or things, and a pot was set up nearby, in which the meat of cows and horses was boiled, and it was all badly stewed, and all the cattle that had been stolen from the city were slaughtered and slaughtered for human consumption.
There is also a large group of ashigaru, holding wooden bowls and queuing up to beg for them, and they don't pay back the money they give, making half a bowl of sake or filling up two rice balls.
This kind of scene really exceeded Gao Shisheng's expectations, he opened his mouth speechlessly, made sure that he was not mistaken, and couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and said, "Zen master is really... It's really a brilliant ability, and we can't compare with ordinary people. ”
Ono Tadaaki smiled modestly, not daring to take credit: "Instead of letting the soldiers get the money, squandering it wantonly, wasting it in the hands of the traveling merchants and prostitutes who followed behind our army, and finally returning to their hometown empty-handed, it is better to set up a camp of wandering girls, so that the money can return to the army, and after returning to the Enjiang country, Musashi Mamoru can do another reward, so that the army will not be really shameless to see their parents, wives and children." ”
Gao Shisheng tapped the folding fan in his hand, looking at the people on the left and right as if they were taken for granted, and he didn't know how to answer.
Nowadays, this is often the case in the army, and the Sengoku daimyo are also willing to use such methods to defraud the money in the hands of the soldiers in order to enrich the military resources. The clay-legged ashiba, the ground servant, and the short-sightedness can't withstand the temptation of words.
Most people are quick to squander their rewards, as they don't know if they will survive the next battle, so it's better to have their hard-earned possessions snatched from their corpses and then fight to loot from their enemies.
This kind of perception cannot be regarded as wrong, but in the end, it often leads to a very serious consequence, even if a famous local samurai like Nakamaro is still empty-handed and has no long things after returning home in battle, and if he is not unfortunately injured and disabled, or simply defeated and killed on the battlefield, the family road will soon fall into the middle.
Although the daimyo of each family have successively set up various imperial laws to protect the survival of their wives and children after the death of middle and lower-level samurai in battle, the laws and regulations are established by people after all, and they must rely on people to supervise their implementation.
For example, when faced with this kind of problem, the implementation of the law is far from the "Imagawa False Directory", which leads to the fact that once a samurai dies in battle, and there is no man of appropriate age and no financial resources to hire a ronin to bear the military service account, he will either receive a bereavement pension from the military department Cao of the various counties of Sunfu and announce that the family business will be removed; Either the surviving person remarries the designated man under the arrangement of the Junfu, and inherits the family business to bear the responsibility of maintaining the military service account.
The men who were often appointed to marry the surviving samurai were the eldest and second sons of a samurai family like Gao Shisheng who could not inherit the family business.
But even if they understand that they don't have enough money to live by, once they are defeated and die on the battlefield, their wives will be ordered to remarry, and their family business will be usurped, but most samurai and ashigaru will still choose to drink today and get drunk today, and this way of drunk life and dream death will survive the Japanese army.
Guy is this cruel way of samurai, which has lasted for hundreds of years, and everyone is accustomed to it, even if a certain daimyo wants to clean up military discipline, the soldiers may not listen.
In this way, it seems that what Ono Tadaaki did was a "righteous theory" that the Venerable Master had compassion for the "wicked" and Pudu, but this mercy was based on those innocent young women.
"How much money have you collected?" Gao Shisheng also understood these truths, and finally had to ask helplessly.
The Nagata Mori clan was also in charge of the military quartermasters, but they had to report and check the accounts to the Mufu team every day, so Oi Mori also knew the approximate amount, and replied, "Converting Yongle money, it is almost enough for three hundred yuan." ”
Hearing this amount, Gao Shisheng could only gather the little conscience he had, and said, "Don't bully those women too much, and when our army returns to their hometowns, I will order them to be compensated with some money and food rights." ”
Mitsuhide Naito followed behind with a big grin, patted Ono Tadaaki's shoulder affectionately, and said, "It's still far away, Musashi Mamoru don't know, these puppies have really grabbed a lot of things, and it is said that half of them will be handed over to confiscate, and if they can hand over thirty percent, they will be regarded as burning high incense." It's useless for them to keep the money, let's give them pleasure, one is to treat the people, and the other is to collect the money back, so that we can go back to build houses and land for our old brothers in the Pingshan Party. ”
In addition to these scenes that Gao Shisheng saw, there are also opening gambling in the shadows, and the biggest dealers are Naito Mitsuhide and Shimazaki Keishin, who are used to cheating, and making thousands of tricks, which can be said to have made a lot of money these days.
Both of them are giant thieves, and they are also quite squeezed out by the samurai of the former Pingshan Party under the command of Gao Shisheng, so they simply get together to report to the group for warmth, but they can be called like-minded, and they are hot for a while, if it weren't for Shimazaki Keishinobu who had just slaughtered his righteous brother, it would be impossible to say that Naito Mitsuhide would have pulled each other to worship and gather righteousness.
What he said was the Tao, and it also represented the mainstream view of the Hirayama Party and even the Imagawa Army and the Shinano clan.
As the consensus of the people, Gao Shisheng is not easy to obstruct more, and he is the biggest beneficiary, but he just urges them to pay attention to the rectification of military discipline, and do not act too recklessly.
In the evening, the Chinese army set up a banquet with wine, and Gao Shisheng invited all the members of the Pingshan Party scattered in each team to attend the meeting. With the growing power of the main family, the status of the people in the Hirayama Party Department rose with the tide, and many of them served as group leaders in the army, and they all made a fortune in the few months when they went to Shinano.
Seeing that Gao Shisheng was not in a high position, he was still willing to put down his body and accompany them to push the cup and change the lamp, and pour wine for the meritorious soldiers, everyone was very excited.
When they drank alcohol, many people who had lost relatives, friends, and old people couldn't help but cry bitterly. Looking back at the disciples who were only one hundred and eighty people left, Gao Shisheng also wept. At the beginning of the battle of Shinano, less than half of the 400 miscellaneous soldiers were fighting until now.
Thinking about the poverty of the past and the wealth of today, this change can be described as earth-shaking. They restrained their crying, all of them were grateful for Gao Shisheng's kindness, and when they talked about what they would do after returning to their hometowns, they danced and laughed loudly.
It wasn't until dawn that the banquet stopped. Beizhuang Shengzhong, Nagata Shengshi and others got up to say goodbye, and each returned to the headquarters, resting and resting, and being busy.
Three days later, the envoy from Sencheng sent back the military report that Nishina Sun Rokuro was defeated, and led a few cronies to abandon the city and flee to Yuezhong, and finally could return to Yuanjiang!
Kawanakajima rolls out.
