Chapter 58: Shock
The new military attaches have declared their allegiance to Tangshan.
Outside the barracks, Qi Zhong and Niu Gan, with their subordinates, watched the process of appreciating the spirit stones and selecting military attaches in Tangshan, and when the elected military attachés declared their allegiance to Tangshan, and no one objected to those soldiers, they couldn't stand it anymore.
"It's over, it's over, Brother Qi, I knew we wouldn't listen to the third prince. Captain Niu of the Bow and Arrow Battalion said to Qi Zhong beside him with a bitter face.
Qi Zhong of the Big Sword Battalion sighed, and said leisurely: "Let's go, buddy, let's take our subordinates to confess immediately, even if we can't keep our positions, at least we can keep our surnames. Ding Tian rushed to confess his guilt in front of us, it may be us who died, you look at the black-armored guards brought by the new commander, they are all masters of more than seven grades, which shows that the new commander has a great background, it may be the son of which family, he has now settled down the four battalions of soldiers and horses, and I am afraid that after a while, we will take advantage of these people, and now we take the initiative to admit our mistakes and push all the mistakes to Gan Chao and Ding Tian. ”
"Hey, for my own sake, I can only be sorry for Brother Gan and Brother Ding. Niu Gan sighed depressedly and said.
When marching and fighting, human life is like grass mustard, and joining the army to fight mainly depends on pulling strong Ding, in order to ensure that there are enough soldiers, but in the prosperous era of peace, eating military food has become a means of seeking wealth and nobility, and it is also a rare opportunity.
And after the civilians join the army, there are many benefits, one of the biggest benefits is to seek a way to promotion, from then on, no matter what background, they have become sergeants, relying on meritorious deeds to find a marquis, glorify their ancestors.
All these have caused the children of civilians to join the army, and most of them appear in the army as conscripts, and they are all subordinate to the imperial court, not the private soldiers of someone or a family.
However, even when it is opened, the conditions for enlisting in the army are extremely harsh, and it is necessary to be recommended by villages and towns and pay sufficient money in order to obtain the qualifications for the assessment, which does not mean that if you want to enlist, you can enlist in the army.
The Blue Army belongs to the front line of the war, and there are relatively few children of powerful people in the army, and the military attaches and soldiers in the army are all recruited soldiers, and people like them who have no foundation cannot afford to offend the children of powerful people like Tangshan in the army.
So when Niu Gan and Qi Zhong saw Tangshan's posture, they immediately chose to bow their heads, because they couldn't get Tangshan, and if they didn't bow their heads, they would die.
After accepting the oath of allegiance from the new military attaché.
Tang San smiled and said, "Okay, now everyone listen to the order, return to the phalanx to familiarize yourself with your men, and then count the number of people." ”
"Yes!" the military attachés replied.
Through Tang Shanyou's order: "Liao Cai, you serve as the captain of the cavalry battalion, and also serve as the deputy commander." Yin Jiang, you take five black-armored guards and Xia Gua, and the autumn orange maggot receives the logistics of the four battalions of soldiers and horses. ”
"Yes!" Liao Cai and Yin Jiang responded.
And Chun Tao and Dong Li, who were not assigned tasks, asked, "Young Master, what are we doing?"
"You serve the commander, and by the way, become a herald!" Tang San said with a smile.
"Yes!" Chun Tao and Dong Li also responded.
Looking at the neat four battalions of soldiers and horses, Tang Shan's heart couldn't help but churn with a burst of relief.
"This is my soldier? I didn't have the opportunity to be a soldier in my previous life, but now I have become a commander with a command of 50,000 people. However, these are not obtained by their own strength, but by the shadow of their parents. My main thing now is to cultivate hard, as long as I form a primordial god and reach the stage of concubination, I can be considered to have the strength to protect myself. Tang Shan pondered on the stage.
At this moment, a group of people came from outside the barracks gate, led by soldiers on duty.
Come under the point.
"Stop!" Tang San drank.
Niu Gan and Qi Zhong immediately knelt on the ground with more than eighty military attachés and shouted, "See the commander!"
"Who are you?" said Tang San in a deep voice.
"The subordinate bow battalion is Niu Gan!" Niu Gan lowered his head and said embarrassedly.
"The subordinate Captain Qi Zhong of the Big Sword Battalion!" Qi said in a low voice.
"Niu Gan, Qi Zhong, where were you before?"
"Do you have an application to leave the camp?"
"Why did we send someone to invite you, but you didn't come, what are you doing now?"
Tang Shan's eyes swept one by one, and his fierce eyes made the hearts of these military attaches chill.
"Ugh!"
Tangshan's successive questions were so difficult that they couldn't answer, and they couldn't say that we were ordered by the three princes to give you a dismount.
"The commander forgives the sins, the subordinates and others have been bewitched by Gan Chao and Ding Tian to make a big mistake, and I hope that the commander will forgive the sins!" Niu Gan plucked up his courage and said.
Tang San said coldly: "Leaving the camp without authorization, contempt for military regulations, and disrespect for superiors is an unforgivable crime!"
"Ruler forgiveness!"
The man only knelt on the ground and kowtowed and confessed his sins.
"Well, you guys kneel down first, and I'll be thinking about you when I'm done dealing with things!" Tang San saw that they took the initiative to appear here, and it was impossible to do anything to them, at most they would be relieved of their positions, now is not a time of war, even if they go out of the camp without permission, they will not be beheaded to show the public.
After Tang Shan's words fell, these kneeling military attaches knew that this level was halfway over, at least they would not be used to set an example for them.
In a short time, the number of people in each department was counted.
"Report, a total of 7,300 people, the soldiers and horses of the Big Knife Battalion, all of them have arrived!" Zhang Yun, the current captain of the Big Sword Battalion, glanced at Qi Zhong who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Tang Shan and stepped forward and said.
"Report, a total of eight thousand one hundred and five people, the cavalry battalion soldiers and horses, all of them have arrived!" The deputy commander of the cavalry battalion stepped forward. This seven-rank martial artist has offended the captain of the cavalry battalion in the past, and he has always been just a centurion, and he has to do any dangerous tasks.
"Report, a total of 6,913 people, all the soldiers and horses of the bow and arrow battalion have arrived. Lian He, the new lieutenant of the bow and arrow battalion, didn't look at Niu Gan kneeling on the ground, and stepped forward with a smile.
"Report, a total of 7,521 people, the soldiers and horses of the spear battalion, all here!" Wan Jun, the new lieutenant of the spear battalion, stepped forward.
"Isn't there 10,000 soldiers and horses in a battalion? How come there are a few thousand fewer men and almost half of the bow and arrow battalion?" Tang Shan wondered.
"Commander, what is missing is empty salary!" Liao Cai said to Tangshan.
"Empty salary?" Tang Shan heard this word, thought about it for a while, and then understood.
A battalion of 10,000 soldiers has to be paid according to 10,000 people, but in fact, some battalions do not have 10,000 people, and those excess head salaries are called "empty salaries", and these empty salaries are often swallowed by military attaches such as lieutenants.
This situation also existed in the ancient army of Tangshan in the previous life, and it was also a major drawback in the army of all dynasties, and there was no way to eradicate it at all.
It's just that the problem of empty salaries did not exist in the era when Tangshan lived, because there were only more officials, and there were no less.
"There are tens of millions of troops in the Yanlin Empire, and I don't know how many ...... are empty. "The first time Tangshan led the troops, he finally learned something that outsiders couldn't understand at all.
"Liao Cai, you take ten black-armored guards and half of the military attachés, take my talismans, go and arrest those military attaches who have not arrived for me one by one, if you encounter resistance, you will be killed!"
After counting the number of people, a murderous aura flashed in Tang Shan's eyes, took out a talisman, and said to Liao Cai.
After reading the book of soldiers, Tang Shan knew that the management of the army lies in the fact that grace and power must be applied simultaneously, and rewards and punishments must be strict.
"Yes!" Liao ordered.
Then, Tang Shan sat down on the platform and waited patiently for Liao to return.
About an hour later, Liao Cai and others escorted a group of military attaches to the front of the general platform, and some of the soldiers who went with Liao Cai were slightly injured, and a few people directly carried the military attache who was killed by Liao Cai.
Tang Shan said in a deep voice to the military attachés: "What is the crime of disrespecting military orders and disobeying orders by force?"
"Commander, military law should be beheaded!" said the captain of the bow battalion.
"So, according to military law, these people should be beheaded?" Tang Shan said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Lian He said.
As soon as the military attaches who were escorted heard Tang Shan's words, they immediately begged Tang San for mercy: "Commander, the commander is wrong for us, it was the captain who let us go." ”
"Commander spare your life!"
"Commander, we were wrong!"
The military attachés quickly begged for mercy in fear.
And Tang Shan looked directly at Liao Cai, and at a glance, Liao Cai's heart suddenly tightened.
"Kill ......!"
"Yes!" Liao Cai immediately responded.
Then, with their swords in hand, the soldiers escorting these military attaches drew their weapons and killed them in an instant.
The slash shocked everyone.
The soldiers and military attachés in the phalanx were all terrified, and no one expected that the new young commander would be so ruthless, and dozens of military attachés would be beheaded like this.
These dozens of majestic military attachés, who were their bosses the day before, are now like being killed as chickens, and they are slashed with a knife.
Niu Gan, who was kneeling on the ground, and Qi Zhong himself were unconsciously cold, this commander, killing decisively and mercilessly.
Tang San originally only wanted to pick a few leaders to be punished, but these people were too bold, Liao Cai took the talisman and they all dared to resist, if he didn't say that they were all slaughtered today, who would be afraid of him in the future!
Although there are great hidden dangers in killing these military attachés, these hidden dangers are far less big than the hidden dangers that they are making trouble while they are alive, so Tang San killed them without even thinking about it.
"Anyone who was injured just now, come forward to receive the healing elixir!" Tang San said.
"Yes!" replied the wounded soldier or military attaché.
Tang Shan handed the healing pill in his hand to Yin Jiang, and Yin Jiang distributed it to these people.
"Commander Xie!" After receiving Dan Yao, the injured man drank happily.
"I am an alchemist and a pharmacist, and in the future, anyone who has merit will be rewarded with elixir!" For an alchemist, refining the healing elixir of these martial artists who are not strong is very simple, easy, and the cost is not high.
In the eyes of the soldiers, Tangshan not only has powerful subordinates, but also an alchemist, and more importantly, the identity of Tangshan pharmacist, if you follow such a person to fight, your future life will be greatly guaranteed, it is almost difficult to die, where to find this kind of commander!
"Long live the Commander!" shouted the troops.
"Niu Gan, Qi Zhong, you two and your subordinates are not holding their original positions for the time being, but going to do logistics, I hope you don't let me down. Tang San said.
"Commander Xie!"
After solving these things, Yin Jiang on the side sighed infinitely, this Tangshan is too powerful, invisible small means, it has established prestige and condensed the army's heart, how long has it been?
