The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 162 One is money and food, the other is soldiers and horses
In the Battle of Yashan, most of the people who were loyal to Huang Song died for their country.

Li Yunze admired them very much, so he was unwilling to ask them to become his subordinates.

People from the Northland, and it's good to be single.

The northerners here refer to those who fled from the north of the river to the south.

Ever since Wanyan Gou had Yue Wumu, Dajiang became the boundary between north and south.

From Jin to Meng, many people from the north fled south because they could not bear the cruel rule and did not want to live like a cow or a horse.

Most of these people are young and strong, after all, it is too difficult to cross the river with their families.

They have no land and no livelihood, either they work, or they enlist in the army to eat food.

It is not too difficult to select [-] northern sergeants from the army.

"My fellow warriors."

The next day, when Li Yunze saw the Northland Song army gathered in front of him, he directly offered the hard food, "How long have you been owed?"

Traditional skills in the army of the Song Dynasty, withholding and payment in arrears.

Coupled with the fact that the small imperial court fled and lost all the way, even survival was a problem, let alone the distribution of food and salaries.

The sergeants made a lot of noise, and then a ready general stepped forward to salute, "National Teacher."

"It's called Dutong." Li Yunze frowned. "From now on, I will be your Dutong."

All the soldiers were stunned, and then they all bowed their heads in salute, "Dutong~~~"

"Dutong." That's going to salute again. "The imperial court is in exile, and the goods are in short supply. I have been waiting for seven or eight months, and I haven't received full payment for a year or two."

"Two years at most."

Compared with the Ming army, Song Jun really dared to run away before the battle because he didn't receive the reward.

So Song Ting didn't dare to really not pay any food and salary, he would pay some every month, and then owed most of it.

He nodded and said nothing nonsense, "From today onwards, I will have all the food, salary and military resources in my hands."

Turning halfway around, he gestured to the mountains of silk and copper coins behind him, "From now on, each person will receive [-] cents per year, plus [-] stalks of rice, [-] catties of salt, and [-] bolts of silk."

The main currency in the Song Dynasty was copper coins, and Jiaozi had completely collapsed at this time, so there is no need to count.

Yiguan money is one coin, usually 770 Wen copper coins.

In the past, the common people were rich, because the commodity economy was developed, and ordinary farmers could earn forty or fifty dollars a year.

But after Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty, and after the Mongolian army went south in the Southern Song Dynasty, when society collapsed, there would be no peaceful and peaceful income to speak of.

At this time, if the sergeants can get fifty pennies a year, it is definitely considered a high salary in this era.

Moreover, as the Mongolian army went south, the price of grain soared, and the price of stone grain even exceeded three times.

Needless to say about salt, the price of silk cloth in the Song and Yi dynasties was relatively stable, at two guan for a piece of silk.

If everything is counted, Li Yunze needs to raise these sergeants more than a hundred times a year!

Compared with the previous nominal income of these sergeants, it is at least two or three times higher.

"Yu Hou, Chengju and Zhengzheng all get double (non-commissioned officer level). Team generals and above, all get three times. (Colonel officer level)" Li Yunze is very clear that there is no such thing as a unity of officers and soldiers in the army of this era. The generals must take more to make them work hard
Only in this way can ordinary sergeants be motivated and motivated.

Everyone was overjoyed, after all, money touches people's hearts.

Seeing that they were about to swarm up, the generals who were preparing to yell at them repeatedly, greeted several team generals and many waiters, took over the bureau and bet to maintain order, and lined up to receive them in an orderly manner.

Li Yunze watched from the side without saying a word.

At this time, whoever has the ability can stand out and fall into his eyes.

The [-] northern soldiers were not organized, but were drawn from various ministries.

Most generals have their own systems, and it is impossible to come here easily.So this general will be the one with the highest military rank at this time.

The sergeants were happily receiving their military supplies, but Li Yunze told the officer to go aside and talk.

"Listen to your accent, Sichuanese?"

"Yes."

The general lowered his head, his voice could not hide the pain, "My ancestors were originally from Chengdu. After Kuo Duan slaughtered Shu, only my father escaped from the whole family. Afterwards, he joined the army and vowed to take revenge."

The cruelty of the Mongolian Yuan system is world-renowned.

His great Khan Kuoduan invaded the Shu region 40 years ago and slaughtered more than one million people in Chengdu. The thousand-year-old city was left with nothing but the people.

And the large-scale massacre in the entire Shu area, the number of victims was as high as tens of millions.

Every time the prairie tribes went south, they would bring endless blood and tears.

Looking at the general in his early thirties, Li Yunze sighed softly, "Would you like to follow me to expel the Tartars and restore China?"

"The last general, He Yuanli, is willing to follow Dutong to expel the Tartars and restore China!"

He Yuanli was about to be saluted, and he bowed immediately.

At this time, almost all the territory of Nantong was lost, and even the famous Diaoyu City chose Kaesong to surrender last month.

On the land of Nuoda, there is only Lingxiao City left, which is still holding on, and is still fighting bloody battles with the deadly enemy to the end.

They persisted until nine years later, hitting the last man.

And what Li Yunze has to do is to start almost from scratch and return from the sea to smash Meng Yuan completely!

"Go get the food and pay." Li Yunze patted He Yuanli on the shoulder after helping He Yuanli up, "I have to do things later."

Li Yunze asked Lu Xiufu for these copper coins, silk and food.

The Mongolian army fled too quickly before, and basically everything in the barracks fell into the hands of Song Ting.

The supplies were abundant, and Lu Xiufu was also very generous.

Li Yunze understood the army in the feudal era very well, feeding them was more effective than any kind of encouragement.

The three thousand northern soldiers who had received a large amount of food and salaries all had high morale and looked at Li Yunze with light in their eyes.

Li Yunze smiled and waved, "Eat first, and you will have the strength to work when you are full."

The Mongolian army left a large number of wounded and dead horses on the battlefield. At this time, cauldrons were set up everywhere and a fire was lit, and large pieces of horse meat were thrown into the pan and kept tumbling in the boiling water.

Li Yunze even saw someone sprinkling spices into the pot.

"Do you have so many spices?" Seeing this scene, Li Yunze expressed surprise.

There is no shortage of spices in the modern world, and that's a kitchen staple.

But ancient spices are luxury goods, except for the wealthy family, who dares to use them by the handful.

"I don't know anything about it." He Yuanli explained, "Many ships in the army are going to various countries in the south, and there are a lot of spices there."

In the Song Dynasty, maritime trade was extremely developed, and ships even traveled to the west of Malacca to buy goods from the spice gardens opened by big cannibals in India.

Many of the ships of the Yashan Song Army are large ships that have been requisitioned, so naturally there will be no shortage of such supplies.

"I see."

Watching the sergeant pour jars of salt into the cauldron and stir it a few times with a horse spoon, the undulating large piece of horse meat made the surrounding sergeants salivate.

They could only eat raw and dry food on the boat before, and they were already too greedy.

"It's fine when it's cooked." Li Yunze greeted immediately, "Let's eat!"

The sergeants opened their arms and ate as much as they could. Anyway, there were too many horses left on the battlefield.

Everyone is very satisfied, and everyone is a mess.

After eating and drinking enough, it's finally time to get down to business.

He brought his soldiers and horses to a camp used to hold captives.

According to the agreement between Li Yunze and Lu Xiufu, all the captives were to be handed over to him for disposal.

Most of the captives couldn't escape the wounded soldiers, and only a small number of unlucky ones were caught.In total, there are hundreds of people.

"You take someone to set up some tents on the side." Li Yunze instructed He Yuanli, "That's it."

He Yuanli nodded repeatedly, and then began to make arrangements.

There is no need to take care of prisoners who are too seriously injured, and no one will take care of them.

The other captives were taken into tents and interrogated individually.

Ask about the name, place of origin, place of origin, where you fought, whether you have done any evil deeds, etc., one by one.

At the same time, you will be asked, which of these captives do you recognize?Their names, places of origin, where they belonged to, and whether they have committed any crimes.

After all the questions have been asked, a cross-comparison is performed.

But if there are any problems with concealment, they will all be pushed aside.Those who have done evil have also been pulled aside.Those above Yu Hou were also pulled over.

After repeated inspections, there were only more than 20 intact prisoners trembling.

Li Yunze was not in a hurry to recruit, but told He Yuanli to "give each of them a tool to dig a big hole over there."

The soldiers and civilians of Song Dynasty had already dug and disposed of the corpses on the battlefield.

Now he still has to dig a hole He Yuanli showed surprise and nodded vigorously.

The more than 20 captives were exhausted and finally dug a hole, but then they saw those who had been selected before being driven over by Song Jun with knives and guns.

They were immediately frightened out of their wits.

Not far away, Li Yunze called out coldly, "Not yet, are you waiting to go together?"

After disposing of those captives who had done evil, Li Yunze said leisurely, "This year's crops will definitely be bumper, so don't delay the spring plowing."

In the end, the more than 20 captives were called, "Would you like to join me as an auxiliary soldier?"

This is not a multiple choice question at all!
The next day, the soldiers and civilians of Song Dynasty continued to go ashore, after all, there were too many of them.

But Li Yunze couldn't wait any longer.

He went straight to Lu Xiufu, "Prime Minister, I'm going to fight the Guangzhou government."

Lu Xiufu was stunned, "What?"

"Go to Guangzhou Mansion."

Yashan is only two or three hundred miles away from Guangzhou Mansion, and the largest city nearby is located there.

If you want to gain a foothold, of course you can't stay on a boat, you must have a land, a city, and people!

"Kemeng Yuan is powerful." At this point, Lu Xiufu woke up suddenly, the person in front of him knew magic.

Unable to conceal his excitement, he took two steps forward, and firmly held Li Yunze's hand, "Then I'll leave it to you, sir. How many troops and supplies do you need? Please tell me straight up!"

Pulling out his hand vigorously, Li Yunze shook his head and said, "Your habit is not good, you have to change it in the future. Don't shake hands every now and then, you're not a pretty girl."

"The army and horses in this department are enough."

Li Yunze waved his hands, "No need for anything else. The Prime Minister has arranged the affairs here, and just bring people over there. By the time you arrive, the Guangzhou Mansion must have been restored!"
