Chapter Ninety-Five: Trivia
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment, the non-combat attrition was really sudden, and it was impossible to find a complete and adaptable military law at the end of the empire, and the judgment of the chief general was the most important basis for dealing with it, which was similar to natural law in a sense.
Normally, in response to different events, the first judgment of the commander-in-chief will become a customary practice, forming the unique military law of each army.
"Corson, the sick and the dead should die in battle, and the two gold coins of the bereavement will be distributed as usual, and you will take the deceased's fellow soldiers to the barony to send it off, this is the first time that the bereavement pension will be issued, the meaning is different, and you should pay attention to it."
Jiang Yuan took out two gold coins from the money bag and threw them over, the spy puppet appeared in the light, and the puppet would accompany him, and if Corson lost his mind, the impact would be quite bad.
"Will, the captain is demoted to the captain of the army, fined for half a year, the position is vacant, and the person with the greatest achievements in the future will be replaced, the guy who was killed to death, his fellow soldiers, all four of them will be beheaded on the school field."
Will was a little incredulous at the verdict, "Lord Baron, doesn't that captain have to pay for his life?"
Jiang Yuan was expressionless, "In the future, the conscription, the hostile forces will send cheap cannon fodder to exchange lives with my grassroots non-commissioned officers, and the army will not want it, besides, the return on planting is too high, maybe it will be chaotic, in other nobles or the imperial army, the same situation is not worth mentioning at all, maybe there will not even be a fine." ”
Will was speechless, and his whole body became a little stiff.
"If you can't get used to it, quit, or you will have to behead those four people." Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes.
"I can do it." Will took a deep breath.
"Baron, I have a problem here, too." Wren said ashamedly.
"Say." Jiang Yuan replied calmly.
"Twenty-seven people tried to escape and took action, and during the pursuit, I led people to kill nine, and the rest are still tied up, and there are many things like stealing, reselling military supplies, snatching enlistment money, and ...... The style of the same army is chaotic. ”
Wren's head was almost down to his neck.
"Deserters are beheaded, stealing and cutting off the tail finger of the left hand, reselling the quartermaster and beheading, snatching the enlistment fee for thirty lashes, as for the last one, it doesn't matter." Jiang Yuan asked, "Who wants to buy munitions?"
"A deacon of the Chamber of Commerce."
"Drag him down the street, slow down and hack him to death."
"Understood."
"Corson, keep an eye on these things when you come back, I don't want anyone to lie to me."
"Understood."
……
In the early morning of the next day, the troops set out from Yicheng, and the team of more than 1,000 people was not small.
Jiang Yuan rode at the front, his gold coins were only more than 200 left, wooden carts were needed to transport grain, soldiers needed clothes for winter, and the slave army also had to have basic weapons, herbs, cloth, spare ordnance, etc., he didn't sleep at all yesterday.
Corson led the Baron's Escort to escort 100,000 stone of grain to the Earl's Castle, leaving the rest to serve as a granary, and Tius would send a knight to meet it.
Someone expects a force to stand up and rob, so that even if the other party is a nobleman, he can take revenge with justice.
In the hundred-man team directly under Will, half of them serve as sentinels, half as escorts, and there are only about 20 good horses in the entire army, except for the captain and above who can be equipped, the rest are all supplied to the sentinels.
The march was a very boring thing, and Jiang Yuan simply pondered alchemy on horseback.
Four foundations.
Refine, integrate, engrave, sublimate.
Five major achievements.
Elemental, spiritual, space-time, life, concept.
Five veins.
Displace, recast, open, create, separate.
Flamell's half-set of inheritance is not the meaning of the first volume, but the direction is incomplete, Jiang Yuan first chose the refinement and attachment of the foundation, and aimed the results at life, and the veins were extracted and created.
Physical traits, the heart, and the Blazing Sun Alchemy Matrix were his primary objectives.
The study of alchemy takes a lot of time, but Jiang Yuan found that he was actually very inspired, and the initial strength of this consciousness projector was no different from ordinary people, but it was obviously extremely talented in alchemy.
Time passed, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, the whole army stopped advancing.
Jiang Yuan ordered to camp on the spot and make a fire to cook.
For this new army, everything had to be arranged in detail, the batches of trees to be felled, the selection of excrement sites, the rotation of the vigilant soldiers, who made fires for cooking, who was responsible for distribution, who needed to fetch water, which soldiers went out hunting, and so on.
Two hours passed, and the wooden camp was erected.
"There was an uproar at night for no reason, beheading.
Defecate and behead without permission.
Gambling and drinking, beheading.
Snoop on the distribution of alerts, decapitate.
Approaching the water source in the camp for no reason, beheaded
……”
In the tent, after the Lord General finished speaking the thirteen points, Wren almost grinned and said softly: "Cousin Knorr, the Imperial Army really can't be so strict now, and the Central Army can't ban so much, and it's barely in the Zhongxing era." ”
"I know." Jiang Yuan's face was calm, "But during the war, six catties of food a day, two gold coins for the soldiers' pension, as well as enlistment fees and military salaries, and the first batch of ordnance and clothing are also gifts, and I have to pay in return. ”
Wren nodded and shook his head, and asked shyly, "Can I drink then?"
"Don't get drunk, don't let me see." Jiang Yuan replied.
Will: "......"
So you know how to be flexible!
"Baron, do you want to eat with the soldiers for the first meal of the day?" Will suggested.
"No, but the food is the same." Jiang Yuan didn't bother to explain the reason to the other party, he and the soldiers each took what they needed, and besides, he didn't like to eat in front of everyone.
"By the way, keep an eye on tonight's military discipline, many people will be beheaded tomorrow, you have to be prepared."
"Understood." Will replied solemnly.
The main general's dinner was three catties of grain and broth, the former was mainly corn cakes, and the latter was from the fourth-class dangerous species that the hunting team had hit.
After dinner, Jiang Yuan continued to study alchemy, so that he could take his notes with him when he left, otherwise he would have to go back and get them.
……
The next day, early in the morning, in the middle of the camp.
Thirty-two men were tied to the ground and beheaded by Will with knives, and the worst of them ran out of the camp in the middle of the night on the grounds that he could not sleep, which was outrageous, and this behavior was in some way comparable to that of a traitor, because no one could guarantee that he had not delivered the news to the outside world.
Cursing and screaming continued.
The onlookers were also in a bad mood, after all, the discipline was a bit too strict.
After the beheading, Jiang Yuan sat behind a wooden table with several bags of silver coins on the table.
"Wren, tell them that the first military pay has been paid."
"Understood."
As Wren's shout sounded, the soldiers suddenly became excited, the shouts and roars shook the tents slightly, and some even hugged each other, and the timely payment of military pay for the Imperial army may only happen to the Central Legion.
The soldiers lined up at the wooden table to receive their military pay, a silver coin for three months, and the silver coin at this time could not be converted between grain and modern times, because of the huge disparity in grain production between the two eras.
After the distribution, Jiang Yuan said to Will next to him, "You know that the roles we played just now are different." ”
Will: "......"
What role?
Jiang Yuan frowned, how could this kid be a little stupid.
"I'll give you the power to directly command the lineage, of course, you have to guard against it, besides, you are different from me, I have a baron's hat, and in exchange for you, you have to rely on a sword and blood to establish power, and the adjutant is supposed to do this...... Forget it, let's start the camp. ”
"Yes." Will scratched his head, but he understood the last sentence.
