Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 320 The Reward Arrives
The barracks was busy up and down, not only the doctor accompanying the army was used, but even the nearby doctors were called in to treat the wounded soldiers.

In the county government office, Liu Guangyi's wounds had already been hastily bandaged, and now he was talking to Qin Hui and a group of generals about what happened to them on the north bank of the Weihe River.

"At that time, we had already broken through the barracks of the bandits, and the leader of the bandits fled..."

Liu Guangyi's expression was very heavy, and even the other people who listened to him became more and more serious.

"...Afterwards, two bandits came out again. General Dong and I led an army battle, beheaded thousands of enemies, and finally broke out of the siege..."

After listening to his words, everyone was speechless for a moment.

There were too many surprises.

"Didn't you check it out before and choose a camp that is far away from the other captives?"

Qin Hui sat at the head, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why do you keep making mistakes like this?"

Zhao Kuangyi turned his head and said with some dissatisfaction: "Qin Xiang, the captive is not a dead thing, it's normal to plunder everywhere. If you are here today, you may go elsewhere tomorrow."

Someone below also replied: "Inquiring about their location is just to find a safer location, but it doesn't mean that this is a surefire solution..."

Qin Hui originally wanted to say something more, but after seeing the reactions of the generals below, he changed his mind and said: "General Liu, you have encountered ambushes many times, do you still remember how many soldiers were captured before and after? The truth is easy to tell. The imperial court will help you repay your merits."

As soon as these words came out, the others didn't say anything anymore. On the contrary, Liu Guangyi had a look of reminiscence on his face. After thinking for a while, he said: "There are about [-] thieves before and after, of which Tie Futu has [-] thieves. The rest..."

The corner of Qin Hui's mouth twitched, you are really bragging about not paying taxes.

There are a total of 6000 people, which is almost half of all the captive troops. How can you escape when surrounded by so many people?There are more than 4000 iron floats. These thieves came south this time to chase and kill the frontier army. Whether they brought so many iron floats is a matter of opinion. You will come to [-] as soon as you touch your mouth...

Liu Guangyi continued: "General Dong and I led the troops to fight hard. We broke through the siege but killed the thieves... It's just that I was busy breaking through the siege at the time, so I couldn't bring any physical evidence."

Qin Hui raised his brows: "There should be a number, right? Otherwise, how can I report the truth to the court?"

All of a sudden, more than 6000 cavalry disappeared. This is not more than 6000 pigs. What should I explain to the court?

"As for the lack of physical evidence...the battle situation was critical at that time, I think His Majesty and all the princes in the court can understand you."

Parts of the enemy's body, such as noses and ears, are indispensable to report military merits, but now that Liu Guangyi and the others can escape back, it is already good, so which one should they care about?
But even with this grace, Liu Guangyi still couldn't answer for a while.

At that time, the entire battlefield was in chaos, and he didn't even know where our army was. He, Liu Guangyi, didn't have the perspective of God. Where did he go to count how many people died on the opposite side?
The 6000-odd total number of enemies and the 4000-odd iron buoys mentioned just now were all estimated by him, and he tried to take as high a value as possible.

It's not uncommon to falsely report military exploits, this kind of thing is basically done by soldiers and horses from all walks of life in the imperial court, it is strange who does not falsely report.

However, some combat capabilities are falsely reported, such as how many enemies they have encountered. If they report more, it will appear that they can fight and have made more contributions.

Some will not work, for example, how many enemy troops beheaded generally cannot be falsely reported.

Just like the victory in Neihuang a while ago, they killed more than 6000 Jin captives in Weihe, not many when this number was reported.

Because people from the imperial court can find out as soon as they come down to check, false reports are meaningless.

Now, although there are no heads, certificates, etc., it is not easy to make false reports.

Because the imperial court knew that the total number of gold captives was about [-]. If Liu Guangyi killed [-] people today, and tomorrow the captives gathered to attack the county, everyone would see that there were still [-] people left.

What's going on here?Are the extra five thousand all Yin soldiers? ?

But what is embarrassing is that Liu Guangyi really doesn't know how many people are left.

"It was chaotic, it was kind of blurry indeed."

He shook his head and said helplessly, "Why don't you discuss with General Dong after he wakes up."

Qin Hui frowned upon hearing this, but didn't press too hard.

But Dong Tongfang didn't make him wait too long, and woke up from the coma the next day.

In the end, the two together with the soldiers below gave a figure of about [-] enemies wiped out.

During the previous night raid on the opponent's camp, about two thousand should have been killed, but on the subsequent battlefield, only about three thousand Jinlu were annihilated.

This is still a much higher expected result.

Although the total strength of the army is about the same, they almost lost one to two in the battle because the threat of Tie Futu is too great.

After they were entangled by the kidnappers blocking the way, those iron floating maps behind were just a shock, and the rear was almost in a rout... If Liu Guangyi and Dong Tongfang hadn't led the soldiers to charge forward and open the way, then these soldiers and horses probably It's all stuck in it, and whether I can come back is another matter.

Qin Hui combined the words of the two men and other soldiers into a brief version of the military report and an extra detailed military report.

But before he was sent to the capital, the imperial envoys of the imperial court came to Neihuang again, and in the confused eyes of the officials and generals, announced His Majesty's reward for the former Neihuang Dajie.

"Under the door: I heard that Zhe Chong was humiliated..."

The imperial edict drawn up by the Ministry of Education was very formal, and the military officers did not have the patience to ponder word by word, and everyone only extracted key information from it.

The rewards for Qin Hui, the chief official, basically have nothing to reward when he reaches his position. Basically, there is no way to improve his official position. The main rewards are some coins, and jade belts and other honorary items like medals.

There were also rewards for Qin Hui's personal soldiers. As everyone expected, the rewards for this great victory were indeed extremely generous, and it can be seen that the capital was really invested.It's just that the proportion of property in the reward is not much, but there are a lot of things like wine, meat, rice and noodles.

Many generals understand this point. It is best not to reward the soldiers below with money or other things in the early stage of the battle. Only poor soldiers will fight hard. If the soldiers have money, how can they be willing to go to the battlefield to fight their lives? Woolen cloth?

The next step is to deal with Zhao Kuangyi and a group of Zuo Weiwei generals, as well as a group of Zuo Weiwei soldiers below.

Naturally, the generals need not say much, those who should be rewarded will be rewarded, those who should be promoted will be promoted, and the rewards for soldiers will be the same as Qin Hui's personal soldiers.

After the news spread, cheers erupted in Zuo Weiwei's barracks.
