Chapter 433: Guan Long's Cooperative Battle
Liang Xiao immediately asked Lin Xiu to be responsible for informing the whole army, and returned to the Taishou Mansion to meet Chang Polang.
Not long after walking out of the barracks, a tsunami-like cheer came from behind Liang Xiao.
"The emperor's grace is vast, my emperor is shengming!"
"Marquis Xie Lan led us to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!"
While this group of soldiers thanked the empress for her kindness, they did not forget to thank Liang Xiao.
Whoever beheads the Hulu will be counted according to the head, ten taels per level, and the one who beheads the enemy can be divided equally! Those who participate in this battle will be rewarded with 10 taels of silver per person for each pioneer unit, 5 taels of silver for each person who supports them, and 2 taels of silver for each soldier who remains behind.
This time, each head will also be rewarded with an additional five acres of official land.
One million taels of silver, after deducting these rewards, the rest will be used by Liang Xiao for peacetime and wartime rewards to motivate the soldiers.
According to this reward specification, this time there are many generals who are going to get rich.
In the Great Zhou, as long as you have a thousand taels of silver, you can be considered rich.
Counting the farmland, the top 30 in terms of military exploits will not be a problem to get a reward worth a thousand taels of silver!
In the next few places, those who failed to get this reward were also promoted because of meritorious service, and they were able to bring more soldiers, and they would have the opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions in the future.
After all, some generals may be transferred out of the headquarters after making meritorious contributions to the school, or they may retire after success and go home to enjoy the blessings, which is equivalent to making room for future generations.
Through the capture of this battle, the imperial court obtained a large number of war horses, weapons and baggage.
The value of those baggage, if you count the freight that needs to be transported from other places to the battlefield, is far more than the actual price.
In the future, in the purchase of horses and the simple replacement and configuration of the armaments of the armies in various places, nearly 10 million taels of silver can be saved.
It seems that the imperial court has consumed a huge amount of treasury silver, but in fact it is equivalent to ten times the earning.
One million taels, not much.
There is a lot of silver in the national treasury, and since the reform of the salt administration, it has increased its income by more than 10 million taels of silver.
Combined with the income of the Tuoba clan and the value of the gold given by Diana, the treasury would still increase its income by at least 20 million taels even if it made up for the deficit in the past.
The capture of the great victory in the grassland was equivalent to saving more than 10 million taels of silver in military expenses in the future.
However, Duan Yunyi has supported Liang Xiao with more than five million taels of silver, and the remaining fifteen million taels will be used to improve people's livelihood, invest in the capital's ordnance supervision, and recruit troops and horses all over the country, and at the same time, the treasury also needs to set aside a certain amount of money in case of emergency.
There will be a big war with Beihu in the future, and it will also need to continue to spend money.
For example, the employment of civilian husbands cannot be relied on only by forced labor.
Of course, ordinary soldiers don't know how to calculate this account, but they only know that a great victory will allocate a million taels is really a lot.
Their commander, Liang Xiao, Marquis of Lanling, was promoted to a former general in World War I, leading the marshal of the northern territory, and taking charge of the military and political power of the northern territory, which will be more convenient in the future!
Lin Xiu, who stayed in the barracks to help, estimated with the marching master bookkeepers, and said happily: "One million taels, there are probably 200,000 taels left, there is a lot of room for rewards to operate!" ”
There was hope.
When the news spreads throughout the country, soldiers from all over the country will envy the north.
The environment in the north is much more difficult than in other places, and these two rewards are not in vain for the hard work of the soldiers.
They also believed that His Majesty Shengming only needed to properly reward the soldiers of the whole country in the future, so as to stabilize the morale of the army, and thus stabilize the whole country.
The soldiers of the entire northern territory waited excitedly, and this Marquis of Lanling would soon personally preside over and make up the rest of the bounty for them.
Only Chang Polang and Lin Ming sat in the living room of the Taishou Mansion, anxious.
Liang Xiao returned to the Taishou Mansion, and when he saw Chang Po Wave again, his eyes lit up.
The man was still wearing a gold mask, but his eyes were a little sharper than they had been when they first met.
"General Chang has not seen him for several months, and he has become more and more courageous and calm. Cooperate with our army, like a tiger with wings! ”
Chang Polang got up and said, "It's too famous!" The fierce generals under the command of the Marquis of Lanling are like clouds, and the world is shocked in a battle! ”
Liang Xiao exchanged greetings with Lin Ming again, and immediately invited the two to sit down.
"The two of you are here, in addition to co-fighting, do you have any other demands?"
Chang Polang looked at Lin Ming: "I hope to talk to the Marquis of Lanling, and Lin Gongzi will check and fill in the gaps for me." ”
Liang Xiao nodded and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Lin Ming first relayed the words of Generalissimo Guan Long, Wei Chiping.
Since the Wu Dynasty, Guanlong has been a gateway to the northern nomads and the Western Regions.
The early Guanlong nobles were all Hu people, and they had a secret relationship with the Northern Hu.
After the chaos of the Wu Dynasty, the Guanlong area was once defeated by the Northern Hu, and the people of the Wu Dynasty were plundered and devastated, so they formed a feud with the Northern Hu.
Ten years after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, General Zuo Chiping was ordered to take charge of Guanlong and served as the generalissimo so far, but the influence of all ethnic groups in Guanlong is huge, especially the Chang, Lin, and Wang families are the most, and they are warm, and Wei Chiping, who was born in Guanlong, must also balance their interests.
Guanlong was unanimously in favor of confronting the Northern Hu, but disagreed on whether to fully support the imperial takeover.
Recently, Liang Xiao has won a series of big victories over Beihu, which is enough to shock them, and Guan Long has just received the flying pigeon from Yanzhou, so he sent a fast horse to catch up with Chang Polang and notify him.
"We are the courtiers of the Great Zhou, and we are willing to hand over the military power to the imperial court in the future, but I hope that Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhuge and the Marquis of Lanling can ensure our safety......"
Chang Polang looked sincere, but he was beating the drum in his heart.
That's the hardest point to talk about.
No one will give up power easily, but the situation is stronger than people.
Gongsun Wuji has come to help fight, and Guan Long is of course clear about his position.
The Great Zhou court is the guarantee for their survival, I have to admit it.
The strength of Beihu exceeded the estimation of Guan Long, and their families finally realized that Beihu had also been in Taoguang and had enough food and ammunition, which was more dangerous than back then.
Once they choose to stand on their own, or take refuge in Beihu, the imperial court can attack and retreat and defend with the two major Xiongguan, and go out of Tongguan and Pingchuan.
Vainly trying to take advantage of the fire to rob is tantamount to self-destruction.
What's more, taking refuge in Beihu is not at all comparable to returning to the imperial court!
Now the empress and Liang Xiao are constantly suppressing several political enemies of the great family, so that they can see the hope of returning to the capital.
Moreover, it is better to return as soon as possible, and the status is higher.
A little later, I don't know how the situation will develop, maybe after Liang Xiao drove away Beihu, he directly waved his army west into Guanlong, and the troops came to the city.
The consideration of the Lin family won the hearts of the three families.
Liang Xiao said: "The various ethnic groups in Guanlong have their own bottom line, and I understand something. I will send someone to inform Your Majesty of this matter, and Your Majesty can make a decision on his own. If the various clans in Guanlong can abide by the law and support Your Majesty in the future, Your Majesty will definitely take care of them, and it is time for you to return to the capital court. As for the wealth of the past, as long as it is a normal business, there is no need to worry about being confiscated. ”
Chang Polang was finally relieved, got up and gave a military salute.
"Thank you for your understanding! The last general is willing to fight with the army, and the order is forbidden! ”
Liang Xiao praised and asked: "General Chang has other questions, just be open and honest, once you enter the barracks, you can only have military orders." ”
Chang Polang pondered for a moment and sighed: "Lin Shi entrusted me to convey his questions to the Marquis of Lanling, if the Marquis of Lanling finds it inconvenient, he doesn't have to answer, it doesn't hurt!" ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
Chang Polang asked: "Marquis of Lanling, Lin Shi mentioned, if one day Marquis Lanling really breaks through Beihu and can lead the army to sweep the desert, how should we deal with the Beihu people?" Do you want to exterminate the race? ”
