Chapter 208 The Wheel of History

Chapter [-] The Wheel of History

Camp in the north of Yinren Village.

Ji Rentu looked at the empty camp and the pile of used cauldrons on the ground, and the bald man's gaze became even more gloomy.

"My lord, I have already checked. This tent is indeed a shadow camp, and the banners on the back mountain are still standing there." A soldier in armor knelt on the ground and reported.

"Get the captain of the scout team!" Ji Rentu ordered calmly.

"My... my lord, the captain of the scout team has committed suicide." The soldier replied tremblingly.

The bald man closed his eyes, and after a while, he ordered in a deep voice, "Find a place and bury it! Report it as a death in battle!"

……

Fallen Leaf City has a standing army of 8000 people, and also has a complete military promotion and welfare system.Among them, the money spent on the army every year, the monthly fixed military salary, and a large part of the money are used for the aftermath of the soldiers.

Soldiers are human beings, and they have wives, children, and parents. It is of course the fastest way to advance through military service to obtain military merits, but this road has been fought through countless corpses and blood.And more people fell in the middle of this road, as the saying goes, one will succeed and all will die!

This also requires that every force with standing arms needs to have a complete aftermath system.Hundreds of soldiers died in battle, and Fallen Leaf City needed to provide a lot of compensation, which was equivalent to half a year's military pay for ordinary soldiers, and they also had to reduce taxes for these families for at least three years.

At this time, the iron law written in the military regulations!It is also the most direct guarantee of Ji Shenfu's appeal.Of course, this is also why, no matter how big or small the forces are, once the army is disabled, they will be severely injured, and they will not be able to turn around for a few years.

Just like an army of 1 people was completely wiped out by the enemy, then this side not only needs to pay for the re-recruitment of soldiers and generals for training, but also pays the compensation for the previous 1 people who died in battle.These pensions are equivalent to one month's military pay for raising an army of 6 people. Coupled with the reduction in taxes for these [-] households, it is a traumatic thing for any force.

But if the soldiers were not killed in battle, but were beheaded, or wiped out because of treason or mutiny, then there would be no compensation at all, and some serious crimes would even affect family members.

It is also for this reason that before many great powers perish, they often see many once loyal troops rebelling in the entire area.In fact, many armies would not betray their masters, because the soldiers' wives, children, and parents were all in the hands of the original forces, and rash rebellion would kill the whole family.

The truth of the matter is that when this army defended against foreign enemies, it fought bloody battles to the end. 10,000+ soldiers fought until only a few thousand remained, and finally defeated or repelled the enemy.However, before returning to the capital, he was surrounded by his own allies, and a piece of imperial decree was a crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason. The thousands of brave men who did not die at the hands of the enemy all died at the hands of his own robe.

Is the monarch a fool?No, this monarch may understand better than anyone else that this 10,000+ army is more loyal than anyone else.Yet he had to give the order.Because as long as this order is issued, the death pensions of the 10,000+ soldiers will no longer need to be paid, and even the taxes of the 10,000+ families will not be lost, and even better, they will all be beaten into slaves!

The death benefits of 10,000+ soldiers can completely cover the consumption of an army of nearly one million for a month!This is also why many forces that are in danger of destroying the country always break out heinous and shocking injustice cases!

……

The wheel of history is always repeating the various processes that people have experienced.There are no exceptions in all dynasties, just like the Yunxiao Army back then, until now it is recorded in the historical materials of Luo Yunguo:

In the previous dynasty, the army was strong, brave and invincible.However, since then, the Lord has no way, and the soldiers have suffered disasters for years, and the people have suffered unspeakably.Moshang and Yunxi surrendered successively.God bless Luo Yun, Fifty Thousand Clouds, treason and civil strife, will finally achieve great success!

……

Zhang Heng followed behind Ji Rentu, and nodded slightly when he heard the other party's words.Yinren Village played this trick really cleverly. In fact, the captain of the scout was also unlucky himself. Although he can't get away with the charge of ignorance of intelligence, it would be unfair to blame him for this matter.

The middle-aged scribe sighed, bowed and said, "My lord, this subordinate is guilty!"

The bald man turned around and glanced at him, then said indifferently: "What do you mean, sir? What is the crime?"

Zhang Heng smiled wryly and said: "Heng was ordered by the magistrate to assist your lord in this expedition, but Yinren used this method to deceive us and surprise Tiexin! As a staff officer with the army, I failed to see through it. This crime of ignorance cannot be evaded. .”

Ji Rentu's eyes lit up, and he also understood what the other party meant, and said in a deep voice, "In that case, I will confiscate my husband's salary for three months, as a warning to others!"

The middle-aged scribe clasped his hands and said with a smile, "Your Excellency is fair!"

Soon the news that Zhang Heng was punished by General Ji spread throughout the cavalry camp.

……

A group of black armored soldiers tore down the wall of the northern camp, and lit a bonfire in the middle of the original school grounds. Ji Rentu climbed onto the commander's platform and looked at the dense crowd of soldiers.

This time, the one thousand cavalry led by his headquarters were following him, but because the northern border of Yinren Village is mostly dense forests, these thousand cavalry came on foot, and their horses would be taken by Yao Jingshun in the early morning of tomorrow morning. Several soldiers escorted them.

And the 250 iron cavalry led by the other three cavalry generals each went to perform their own tasks.Among them, the red-armored cavalry general Liu Dong and the white-armored cavalry general Zhu Wen, after reporting to Ji Rentu, each sneaked back to Tiexin Village to find their own deployment.

As for the last green-armored cavalry general, there are other missions arranged.

"Everyone must have heard the rumors at noon today. That's right, we lost the battle! One hundred and three brothers died!" Ji Ren Tu Lang said, obviously the man used his internal strength, otherwise the more than 1000 people would have died. Surrounded here, the soldiers on the periphery couldn't hear what he said at all.

As soon as this remark came out, there was a burst of whispering, but the bald man ignored everyone and continued: "This is the camp of Yinren Village. They killed our brothers not far away! Everyone can look down, The pots and pans in this camp! That’s right, after they killed them, they still had a big meal here!”

Ji Rentu glanced at the people who gradually calmed down, and continued: "I have dealt with some people about this matter. The captain of the scout team died, and my staff officer, Mr. Zhang, will be fined for one season! But what I want to say, It's not just these! The people I want to punish are not just these!"

All the black armored soldiers under the stage understood what their lord meant, and said one after another:

"Yes! General, don't let those bumpkins go!"

"The revenge of Pao Ze must not be forgotten like this!"

"General, lead us to fight!"

……

The bald man glanced gloomyly at the crowd, raised his sword, and roared angrily, "Tomorrow at noon, attack Yinren, blood for blood!"

I saw a group of black armored soldiers under the stage shouting in unison: "Attack Yinren! Blood debt blood!"

As the saying goes, when the hearts of the people gather together, a thousand people shout at the mountain, and ten thousand people tsunami!

Even if these cavalrymen in black armor got off their horses, they were well-trained elite soldiers.They are like real killing intent, accompanied by shouts like mountain shouts, echoing in the mountains and fields with a radius of tens of miles!
