Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 71
"I'm late, please forgive me."

"Everyone has worked hard today!"

"Don't worry about the cost of soup and medicine, just rest assured to heal your wounds, no matter whether the Zhang family or I are highly pragmatic, we will not treat you badly."

"Don't get up, don't get up, everyone is hurt because of me, I feel guilty..."

"Well, well, I will definitely convey your thoughts to my uncle, and ask him to think about the arrangements."

……

It doesn't take much time to appease them, but judging from the effect of appeasement, if these guards of the Zhang family are Gao Yushi's soldiers, then Gao Yushi will definitely be able to get the good name of "love soldiers like sons".

But it is also because the guards of the Zhang family are not under Gao Yushi's subordinates, so after such actions, everyone's affection for Gao Yushi, the young master, has really grown up, and it is only a pity that he is in the Forty-Nine City Zhang Siwei in the movie - he still doesn't know how much reward and resettlement fee Gao Wushi promised as the young master.

Of course, if Zhang Siwei could be one-tenth as generous to his servants as he was to Gao Pragmatic, he probably wouldn't feel so distressed.

Since the two parties were joined together, it was of course necessary to share the spoils. Fortunately, the thieves suffered heavy casualties before, and many horses fell nearby.

Liu Xian and his team also had horses before, but they tied the horses far away in the forest before the ambush. Now that the two sides gathered the horses together, they found that there were more than 50 horses among the 70 people. Quite happy about it.

In fact, Liu Xian played a greater role in this battle, but now he is more pragmatic, so he simply said that he did not bring too many people with him this time, and he had enough horses. "Captured" he would not want it.

However, although Gao Yushi knew that horses were a good thing these days, he refused to take advantage of others. In the end, he made up for the losses of both sides and came to a half-and-half point-this was actually a profit for Gao Yushi, because Liu Xian and the others No horses were lost at all.But Liu Xian still felt that although Gao Yushi was young, he was generous.While observing Gao Wushi personally handling various aftermath matters, he quietly looked at Liu Ting, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

In addition to riding horses, Liu Xian arranged to carry the corpses of the dead, and some of them were used to carry the property collected from the corpses of thieves.Gao Yushi also got some leftover money from thieves. He took a quick look, and found that it was not too little. Except for some things that were not easy to evaluate directly from a few thieves, there were only copper coins and broken silver. It is estimated that the value is two to 300 taels.

In terms of prices at this time, this is not a small sum.

Gao Pragmatic didn't care how Liu Xian distributed the money. Anyway, he calmly announced that he would divide the money into two equal parts, one for the wounded alone, and the other for all the guards. Because the wounded can take it twice.

It stands to reason that this distribution method is quite rough, because guards who are not injured do not necessarily mean that they are not fighting hard, after all, it is very likely that they are better in martial arts.

However, Gao Yushi did not follow this way of thinking about rewards, and his method of rewarding was obviously biased towards the later generations of "honoring collective X-class merit".

Gao Wushi knows that there is Qi Jiguang in Daming right now, and this man may be the No. 1 military training in China so far.Gao Yushi admired Qi Jiguang's military training ability very much, so in this award, he was actually following Qi Jiguang's thinking.

This way of thinking boils down to two points: one is to emphasize collectiveness, and the other is to clearly distinguish rewards and punishments.

When some people in later generations talked about Qi Jiguang, they only knew that the mandarin duck formation was invincible, but they didn't pay much attention to other more basic aspects.In fact, Qi Jiguang has many key ideas that are very important in his military training.Among them is the one that consistently emphasizes collectivity.For example, in "Ji Xiao's New Book", Qi Jiguang said:
"Competition in the arena is more skillful, catching small thieves is different, and hundreds of people line up in front of the majestic formation. The brave must not be first, and the timid must not be behind; stabbing with spears, piercing with spears, hacking with knives, killing indiscriminately. He just swarmed in together, and it was difficult to change hands, how could he allow him to move left and right?
On weekdays, if you are very skilled in martial arts, if you use five points temporarily, you can be successful; if you use eight points, you are invincible in the world;

Using a long spear alone, like a circle, is to learn technique; advancing and retreating is to learn footwork and body skills.In addition to this, there are so-called solo dancers, all of whom are flower techniques, which cannot be learned.

It is inevitable to dance alone with the rattan card, but it is necessary to learn from it.There are flashing and the like in it, which is also a flower method.

Hook, sickle, fork, palladium, such as turning around and jumping, are all tricks, not only useless, but also misleading people if they are familiar with it.There are many ways to fork palladium flowers, and they can't be shoveled off. Just follow Yu Gong's stick method to make fork, palladium, hook and sickle. There is no flower method, but it is practical. "

It can be seen from this that Qi Jiguang paid great attention to integrity in military training, because he believed that integrity in military operations represented practicality,

However, when the Ming army discussed military merits, it was customary to look at the number of beheadings, so there were often some problems.

According to the tradition of the Ming army, as long as you grab the enemy's head, you can take it to receive a reward, but the disadvantages of this rule are very obvious, and it will cause quite serious consequences:
"There are only a few heroes who go to battle. Every time a head is captured, dozens of people will come to repay the merit. I don't want you to retreat together to repay the merit. If the soldiers look at each other and mistakenly believe that they are defeated, everyone will leave. What’s more. For one bandit leader, dozens of people report meritorious deeds. If dozens of thief heads are beheaded, hundreds of people should report. I don’t know how many hundreds of people will be there in this battle, but I have missed my life.”

Killing an enemy leads to the retreat of our army. This is of course very ridiculous, but under the system that only looks at the head, this kind of result is easy to happen. What about the weird crash?Qi Jiguang has his way.

"From now on, the long cards, long spears, and wolf sticks should be the first. The number of long soldiers must not take the first sword, just kill first, and it is not allowed to set up Gu Lian's head. The thief who kills is allowed to be beheaded by the short soldiers. , each one is allowed to be placed behind the formation, and the soldiers will be withdrawn after the killing is over. If there is an order to test, then they are allowed to leave the formation for inspection. Whoever takes the lead, who has a share, and who has no share, all listen to the leader's communique to the public Judgment. Those who dare to avenge injustice because of their kindness, military law. Each head is counted as 30 taels. The first card gun will be divided into 20 taels, the first soldier will be divided into [-] taels, and the remaining soldiers who have no points will be divided into one tael. If you don’t go to battle, the team has meritorious service, and you will get five coins; each team’s bird gunner will also get two taels.”

That is to say, in Qi Jiguang's army, not everyone has the right to harvest heads, but only short soldiers can harvest. Qi Jiguang offered a sky-high price of 30 taels for a head. In order to prevent teammates from grabbing heads, Qi Jiguang specially stipulated , as long as the team wins the head, the whole team will have rewards, and most of them belong to the cards, guns, and sticks, so as to prevent the main players in the team from being distracted in order to grab the head.Other members will be rewarded as long as they participate in the battle, and even the cook can count money lying down, without risking his life to charge forward, as long as he usually cooks and cooks, why not do it?

The same is true for picking up equipment and treasures dropped by the enemy. One person collects them uniformly and distributes them equally to teammates after the battle.If the fighter plane is delayed because of robbing the loot, whoever is in charge will have his head cut off.

Whoever dared to retreat before the battle would have his ears cut off on the spot. After the soldiers retreated, they would check those who had no ears, and whoever had no ears would have their heads cut off.In the team serving as an ambush, if you should not go up, or if you should go up blindly and cause the ambush to be revealed, the captain's head will be cut off.If one person is killed in battle without saving his teammate, the head of the whole team will be beheaded, but if one of the heads is captured, he can be exempted from crime, and the reward is not wrong if he captures two heads.

Seeing that other teams are surrounded but do not want to save them, behead the head of the steward.If one person dies but does not gain anything, Quanjia deducts one month's wages to subsidize the family members of the deceased.If the leader Jia fought hard but his subordinates escaped and the leader Jia died in battle, all his subordinates should be beheaded.If a bigger official dies fighting, he is reluctant to kill all his subordinates, then deduct two months of their salary to subsidize the family members of the deceased.

More importantly, Qi Jiguang forbade the soldiers to make noise, not the messengers who forbid the ordering, and they were not allowed to shout when they saw the enemy or were injured by the enemy, otherwise they would be beheaded, which could avoid affecting the morale of friendly troops.

In terms of playing games in later generations, it is equivalent to the K/D ratio of Qi Jiguang's team must be maintained above 1:1. If it cannot be maintained, he will kill whoever should be killed.

All in all, Qi Jiguang set various rules with clear rewards and punishments for his army, so as to ensure that everyone can fight bravely and each team can take care of each other.These practices are actually constantly emphasizing integrity, emphasizing that the army is a whole, and the performance of any one of them will affect the success or failure of the battle, so rewards are rewarded together, and punishments are punished together.

What is the most famous quote from Nelson, the unborn British naval god? "England needs everyone doing their job!"

It can be seen that no matter ancient or modern, Chinese and foreign, famous generals have the same understanding of the army, and the army must be a whole.Although Gao Pragmatism wants to follow the civilian route, after all, the military will also be reformed in the future, so he will make some experimental moves in advance to observe the effect.

Appeasement, rewards, reorganization of the team, and then naturally set out on the road together, and set off for the Cherry Spring Hospital.

As for the "bald king" Cao Gan, Gao Wushi still left it to Liu Ting and others to watch over. He was still interested in knowing how this person could maintain such a not-so-small team of thieves not far from Gyeonggi. .
