please make me king

Chapter 824 Inventory of gains and losses
War is a contest of wisdom, equipment and organization, and it is also a contest of will.

The two sides fought fiercely until late at night, and there was only one breath left.

If the west wind overwhelms the east wind, the rebel army has no choice but to withdraw from the battlefield obediently, and all the results of the day will be reset to zero;

If the east wind overwhelms the west wind, they will be able to defeat the officers and soldiers who have also reached their limit in one go.

However, the rebel army also reached the limit of physical strength and morale.If the attack is forcibly driven away, it is not impossible to accidentally bomb the camp.

How to do?Can only reward heavily to boost morale.

To tell the truth, the amount set by Zhang Shun and the generals, whether it is military pay or rewards, is lower than the standard for officers and soldiers.But the soldiers are more willing to work for Zhang Shun, is it because Zhang Shun's face is paler than others?

No, it was because Zhang Shun distributed food and rewards more timely and sincerely than other teams in this era.

For this reason, Zhang Shun specially formulated regulations on the distribution of military salaries and rewards, stipulating that all payment must be completed before the [-]th of next month, and those who violated it will be held accountable for their assistant management and logistics supplies.

If it is delayed due to war, logistics interruption, etc., the logistics will issue IOUs, which can be exchanged after the logistics supplies arrive, or they can be exchanged at the nearest area occupied by the rebel army.

In addition, the rebel army did not directly distribute salaries like the Ming army, but equipped with a certain proportion of grain, and distributed it at a price slightly lower than the market price, so as to prevent the phenomenon of "silver is cheap and grain is expensive" in the border areas at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to directly distributing soldiers, soldiers with family members and families will distribute half of their salaries to their parents and wives, so as to prevent soldiers from eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, spending all their salaries and rewards, and leaving their families with nothing to support.

If a soldier dies in battle, all the rewards, military pay, and pensions allowed by the general will be distributed to the family members of the soldier.If there are no family members, all the money will be used for burning and burying, so that the war dead can be buried in a grand manner.

But at the same time, Daming is different. It is clear that the silver rewards that have been agreed will be given to you at a discount.Not to mention that arrears of wages for several months or even more than a year are commonplace.

The soldiers of this era are not stupid, even if they are fools, they will always understand when they are fooled a lot by you.Therefore, the upper and lower sides deceived each other, and the soldiers refused to use all their strength.

It is also because of this that Zhang Shun can respond to all calls and promises.As long as he dares to promise a reward, the soldiers will dare to fight with all their strength.

Zhang Shun knew that he used generous rewards to motivate soldiers, and Fu Zonglong was naturally not a fool.He opened his mouth and promised: "Repel the bandit army, all those who participate in the battle will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver, and those who win the head of the bandit will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver!"

The officers and soldiers were not interested in hearing the words.First, the government has plundered the nearby people many times, and everyone has some spare money on hand; second, the imperial court rewards are just a matter of hearing, and how much they can actually get depends on the conscience of the chief official.

Since Fu Zonglong became the governor of Henan, he has only heard of his name as a soldier, but not of his methods.But since he can work with a dog official like Zhu Dadian, how can his conscience be better?

Believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway!

Everyone looked at Fu Zonglong and took a few steps back.Fu Zonglong's face became even darker, and he couldn't help shouting sharply: "Where is Li Benzhen? Let me lead the crowd to stand behind, and anyone who dares to retreat will be killed!"

If the temptation fails, it will be replaced by threats!
The two sides continued to fight fiercely for a long time, and the officers and soldiers could not support them.Zu Kuan couldn't help but said to Li Chongzhen: "Fu Zonglong has no virtue, but he just threatened me to wait for a martial artist!"

"Now the thieves are as powerful as a rainbow. Our three armies have fought hard all day and night and cannot win. If the sky is clear, I'm afraid I want to go and have nowhere to go!"

Li Chongzhen also thought so, and the two took advantage of the darkness to lead the crowd to go outside the camp quietly.

As soon as Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen's second battalion moved, Mou Wenshou, who was on the front line, immediately realized that something was wrong.He hurriedly ordered left and right: "I see that the two thieves Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen are cowardly, and they will never live and die with me. I want to lead the people to chase after their generation. What do you think?"

We have two legs chasing others with four legs, what are you kidding?
But everyone is not worried about this. If you can’t catch up, you can’t catch up. Then chase for a few more days, and it’s best to chase for three days and three nights!
Just go and go, not procrastinating at all.

First came Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen's Liaodong iron cavalry, and then Mou Wenshou's infantry. After a while, the huge camp became empty, except for Fu Zonglong's standard camp, which was surrounded by the rebels.

Fu Zonglong was frightened and angry, and quickly sent someone to try to recall the generals, and at the same time sent someone to ask Zhu Dadian of Weichuan for help.

Not to mention the result, until dawn, the rebels cleared the way with artillery and followed up with infantry. They won consecutive battles and defeated Fu Zonglong's Biao camp.

The rising sun rises from the east, and the morning glow all over the sky is like blood-stained.It penetrated the curling gunpowder smoke and smeared on the ruined walls of the officers and soldiers camp, making it difficult for people to tell where is the blood and where is the morning glow!

Tattered corpses are everywhere, just like the garbage dump of later generations, being thrown aside at will.

Zhang Shun led Wang Jinyi, Niu Jinxing, Gao Guiying and others to choose the path under their feet, skipping and jumping to avoid the blood stains on the ground.

Just when Bai Guangen came up with a few soldiers, he asked, "What's the matter, has Fu Zonglong been found?"

Although his eyes were bloodshot and his body was full of blood and dust, Bai Guangen still couldn't help but excitedly said: "King Shun, please come and see, Fu Zonglong is here!"

Under the guidance of Bai Guangen, Zhang stopped by a place where corpses were piled up on a small hill not long after.

He followed Bai Guang'en's fingers and saw an old man dressed in gorgeous clothes with several wounds, lying there with only breathing in and no breathing, he couldn't see alive.

Seeing Zhang Shun approaching, the old man also realized that this person might be the "Shun thief" he had been thinking about day and night, wanting to follow suit.He couldn't help exhausting all the strength in his body, opened his mouth and cursed: "Rebel, thief!" Then he died of exhaustion.

Zhang Shun smiled, didn't take it seriously, but asked: "How about the casualties of the soldiers, can they be treated in time?"

"Fortunately, fortunately, there are doctors. Oh, nurses treated them, and most of them survived!" Bai Guangen himself hadn't had time to count them, so he didn't know how the injuries were, so he had to answer vaguely.

Zhang Shun also reacted, so he stopped asking, and instead chatted with him about the battle situation.

It was not until the afternoon of that day that Niu Jinxing came to Zhang Shun, sweating profusely, and reported: "His Royal Highness King Qizuo Shun, after counting, the rebel army fought yesterday, and [-] soldiers were killed and three were seriously injured. One hundred and fifty-four people, one thousand one hundred and forty-three people were slightly injured."

"Beheaded [-] officers and soldiers, seriously injured [-] people, captured [-] officers and soldiers, [-] horses, [-] stones of food and grass, worth gold and silver. Thirty-five thousand and fifteen taels."

"Besides, there were [-] Xuanmo remnants stationed in Changge. They all surrendered when they heard that the officers and soldiers had suffered a disastrous defeat. The commander Fu Zonglong died, and his dental school Li Benshi and Yang Congyi died in battle. Chen Shangcai disappeared. Chen Si was seriously injured, Zhang Xianbi and Huang Chaoxuan led the rest of the troops to join our army."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but responded excitedly when he heard the words, "Let Li Xin, He Renlong, He Jin and others continue to chase the officers and soldiers, let Bai Guangen take a rest, and go to Weichuan immediately."

"Firstly, let's see if we can capture Zhu Dadian by the way, and secondly, to meet the 'sweeping king' Zhang Yichuan."
