Chapter 162 One is money and food, and the other is soldiers and horses

In the Battle of Yashan, most of the people loyal to the Emperor and Song Dynasty were martyred.

Li Yunze admired them very much, so he was reluctant to ask them to become his subordinates.

It's good that you're from the Northland, and you have to be single.

The northland people here refer to those who fled north of the river and from the south.

Since the completion of the Yan Gou and the unwarranted Yue Wumu, the river has become the boundary between the north and the south.

From Jin to Mongolia, because they couldn't bear the cruel rule and didn't want to live as well as cattle and horses, many northerners fled south.

Most of these people are young and strong, after all, it is too difficult to cross the river with their families.

They have no land or livelihood, and they either have to work or enlist in the army to eat.

It was not too difficult to select 3,000 Northland sergeants in the army.

"Warriors."

The next day, Li Yunze saw the Song army in the north gathered in front of him, and directly served hard dishes, "How long have you been waiting for the arrears?" ”

The traditional skills in the two Song Dynasty armies were deducted plus arrears of military salaries.

In addition, the small imperial court fled all the way and lost consecutive battles, and even survival was a problem, not to mention the distribution of food and salary.

There was a commotion among the sergeants, and then the general was ready to come forward and salute, "National Teacher..."

"It's called Dutong." Li Yunze frowned, "From now on, I will be the capital of your waiting." ”

All the sergeants were stunned, and then bowed their heads and saluted, "Dutong~~~"

"All of them." That is ready to salute again" The court is displaced, and the goods are scarce. Some of us waited for seven or eight months, and many of us did not receive a full salary for a year or two. ”

"Two years at most."

Compared with the Ming army, the Song army really dared to run away directly in front of the battle because he did not receive the reward.

Therefore, Song Ting didn't dare to really pay no food at all, he would always pay some every month, and then owe most of it.

He nodded, and didn't talk nonsense, "From today onwards, I will be in charge of all the food and military resources." ”

Half turned around and motioned to the mountains of silk and copper coins piled up behind him, "From now on, each person will have 50 taels of money per year, plus 20 stone stems of rice, 20 catties of salt, and 10 horses of silk." ”

The main currency of the Song Dynasty was copper coins, and Jiaozi had completely collapsed at this time, so there is no need to count them.

The usual money is a wield, usually 770 copper coins.

In the past, the people were wealthy, because the commodity economy was developed, and ordinary farmers could earn forty or fifty yuan a year.

But after Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty, after the Southern Song Dynasty and the Mongolian army went south, where would there be any peace and tranquility in the social collapse.

At this time, if the sergeants could get 50 yuan a year, it was definitely a high salary in this era.

Moreover, as the Mongolian army went south, the price of grain soared, and the price of stone grain even exceeded Sanguan.

Needless to say, the price of silk cloth in the Song Dynasty is stable, and the silk is two dollars.

If all of them are calculated, Li Yunze will raise these sergeants, and one person will have to pay more than 100 times a year!

Compared to the nominal income of these sergeants, it was at least two or three times higher.

"Yu Hou, Cheng Bureau and Zhu Zheng all take double (non-commissioned officer level). The team will take all of them three times. (Colonel rank) "Li Yunze knows very well that there is no such thing as one officer and soldier in the army in this era, and the generals must have to take more talents to make them work hard

, so that ordinary sergeants can be motivated and motivated.

Everyone was overjoyed, after all, wealth moved people's hearts.

Seeing that he was about to rush up, the ready general scolded him repeatedly, beckoned several team generals and many waiters, and maintained order and lined up in an orderly manner.

Li Yunze watched from the sidelines and didn't say a word.

At this time, whoever has the ability can come out and enter his eyes.

The 3,000 Beidi soldiers were not formed into a formation, but were drawn from various departments.

Most of the generals have their own systems, and it is impossible to come over easily. Therefore, this member is the one with the highest military rank at this time.

The sergeants happily received their military salaries, but Li Yunze called the officer to prepare to talk to the side.

"Listen to your accent, Sichuan and Shu?"

"Yes."

The preparation will bow his head, and it is difficult to hide the pain in his voice: "The ancestor was originally from Chengdu Mansion, and after Kuoduan Tushu, only his father escaped in the whole family. After that, he joined the army and vowed revenge. ”

The brutality of the Mengyuan system is world-famous.

His Great Khan Kuoduan invaded Shu 40 years ago, slaughtering more than 1 million people in Chengdu Prefecture, and the thousand-year-old city only ended up with no people.

The large-scale slaughter in the entire Shu region was as high as tens of millions.

Every time the steppe tribes go south, they bring endless blood and tears.

Looking at the general in his early thirties, Li Yunze sighed lightly, "Would you like to expel the Tartars with me and restore China?" ”

"The last general, He Yuanli, is willing to follow the capital to expel the Tartars and restore China!"

Prepare to give He Yuanli, and immediately bow down.

At this time, almost all of the entire territory of Nanyi was lost, and even the famous Diaoyu City chose to surrender in Kaesong last month.

On the land of Nuoda, there is only one Lingxiao City left that is still holding on, and it is still fighting to the end with the mortal enemy.

They held out until nine years later, hitting the last man.

And what Li Yunze has to do is to start almost from scratch and return from the sea to completely shatter Meng Yuan!

"Go and get your rations." Helping He Yuanli up, Li Yunze patted him on the shoulder, "I have to do something later." ”

These copper coins, silk silk and grain or something, Li Yunze asked Lu Xiufu for them.

The Mongolian army fled too quickly before, and everything in the barracks basically fell into the hands of the Song court.

The materials seized are abundant, and Lu Xiufu is also very generous.

Li Yunze knew the army of the feudal era too well, and feeding them was more effective than any kind of encouragement.

The morale of the three thousand Beidi soldiers who had received a large amount of food and salary was high, and the eyes that looked at Li Yunze were also bright.

Li Yunze smiled and waved his hand, "Eat first, and only when you are full will you have the strength to work." ”

The Mongol army left a large number of wounded and dead horses on the battlefield, and at this time, large cauldrons were erected everywhere to make fires, and large pieces of horse meat were thrown into the pot and churned in boiling water.

Li Yunze even saw someone sprinkling spices into the pot.

"Are there so many spices in Da Jiao?" Seeing this scene, Li Yunze expressed surprise.

There is no shortage of spices in the modern world, and they are a staple in the kitchen.

But ancient spices are luxuries, except for the rich family, who dares to sprinkle them with handfuls.

"I don't know anything." He Yuanli explained, "Many of the ships in the army are going to various parts of the south, and there are many spices there. ”

During the Song Dynasty, maritime trade was extremely developed, and ships even went as far west as Malacca to buy goods from the spice gardens set up by the Great Cannibals in India.

Many of the ships here in the Song Army in Yashan are requisitioned from the sea, so naturally there will be no shortage of such materials.

"I see."

Watching the sergeant pour pots of salt into the cauldron and stir it with a horse spoon a few times, the large piece of horse meat rose and fell so that the surrounding sergeants kept swallowing.

They could only eat raw dry food on the ship before, and they were already hungry.

"Just cook it." Li Yunze immediately beckoned, "Let's eat!" ”

The sergeants opened their arms and ate as much as they could, anyway, there were too many horses left on the battlefield.

Everyone was very satisfied, and everyone was mixed up.

When you've eaten and drunk enough, it's finally time to get down to business.

He took his men and horses to a camp where his captives were held.

According to the agreement between Li Yunze and Lu Xiufu, the captives were to be handed over to him for disposal.

Most of the captives could not escape the wounded, and only a few unlucky ones were caught. That's a few hundred or so in total.

"Take some tents on the side." Li Yunze instructed He Yuanli, "So so..."

He Yuanli nodded again and again, and then began to operate.

Prisoners who are too badly wounded don't care, and no one will.

The other captives were taken into separate tents for interrogation.

Ask your name, place of origin, where you have fought, whether you have done any evil deeds, etc.

At the same time, they will ask, which of these captives do you recognize? Their names and origins, their origins, and whether they have ever been evil.

After all the questions are asked, a cross-comparison is conducted.

But if there is anything to hide and there is a problem, all of them will be pulled aside. and those who have done evil have been drawn aside. Those above Yu Hou are also all pulled over.

After a lot of inspection, only more than twenty intact captives remained, trembling.

Li Yunze did not rush to solicit, but instructed He Yuanli to "give each of them a tool and dig a big pit over there." ”

The corpses on the battlefield before, the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty had already dug pits and disposed of them.

And now you have to dig a pit... He Yuanli looked surprised and nodded vigorously.

The more than 20 captives were tired enough, and they finally dug the pit, but then they saw those who had been selected before, and they were driven over by the Song army with knives and guns.

They were frightened and scattered.

Li Yunze, who was not far away, shouted coldly, "Don't come yet, are you waiting to go together?" ”

After disposing of those prisoners who had been evil, Li Yunze said leisurely, "The crops here will definitely be bumper this year, don't delay the spring ploughing." ”

Finally, at the end, he called out to the more than 20 captives, "Are you willing to join my command as an auxiliary?" ”

It's not a multiple-choice question at all!

The next day, the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty were still coming ashore in a steady stream, after all, there were too many of them.

But Li Yunze couldn't wait here.

He went straight to Lu Xiufu, "Prime Minister, I'm going to fight Guangzhou Mansion." ”

Lu Xiufu was stunned: "What? ”

"Go and fight the Canton Mansion."

Yashan is only two or three hundred miles away from Guangzhou Prefecture, and the largest city in the vicinity is located.

If you want to gain a foothold, of course, you can't stay on the ship, you must have land, cities and people!

"But Meng Yuan is powerful..."Speaking of this, Lu Xiufu suddenly woke up, the person in front of him knew magic.

He couldn't hide his excitement, took two steps forward, and shook Li Yunze's hand hard, "Then please, sir." How many soldiers and horses are needed, how many supplies? Please sir, just say it! ”

Pulling his hand out vigorously, Li Yunze shook his head and instructed, "Your habit is not good, you have to change it in the future." Don't shake hands at every turn, and you're not a pretty girl. ”

"The headquarters is enough."

Li Yunze shook his hand: "Don't use anything else." The prime minister arranged the affairs here, and took people directly over. By the time you arrive, Guangzhou Mansion will surely be recovered! ”
