Chapter 12: Rewarding Silver and Military Sticks

() In half a month, Li Shouhan repaired the road in front of the official village of the garrison mansion, widened and leveled it, mixed fine sand and clay with slaked lime, and hardened the ground, forming a slightly trapezoidal square with thousands of For this reason, many old people were very distressed, and they even called out that the adults used a group of prodigals!Such a large piece of land has become a wasteland where crops cannot be grown.However, after collecting the public grain once, no one said these words again.Tens of thousands of military households and civilian households who need to hand in public grain are lined up and waiting in the square with their land deeds. One side checks the number of acres of land, and the other side reports the number of public grain that needs to be handed in. The third step is Take the payment note and carry the rice to the grain depot for storage.The most convenient.

In the past few days, the public food has been handed over, and the square has become a school ground.Another batch of recruits is being trained here.According to Li Shouhan's regulations, all villages, no matter how big or small they are, have a baojia. Every ten to fifteen households is one baojia, and every ten jia is one baojia.During the slack season, the young men of the right age in each family, oh, that is, the strong men, must receive military training in batches, and when there is a battle, they will be recruited and mobilized according to the principle of one soldier and one soldier.

Under the sun, groups of recruits waved their spears, stabbing with all their strength under the command of the armor commanders and under the whips and short sticks, sweat flowing like a stream.Watching another group of strong men suffer from the training subjects they had experienced, the corners of the mouths of the few who came over couldn't help revealing a schadenfreude expression.

Along the way, several people and Bao Xiaohei have drawn into the distance. Youdao is a thousand clothes and a thousand clothes, but flattery is not.Free flattery flooded towards Mr. Bao, who always had a dark and thin face, like a tide. Rao, Mr. Bao's unique knowledge, couldn't help Zuo Tianpeng, Chen Tianhua, and Xu Huanshan taking turns to flatter him. Soon, Wang Bao also Encouraged by these guys, they stammered and flattered.As a result, even though Bao Zhongchen didn't say anything, he wasn't like just now, his face was so hard that a steel knife couldn't cut it in.

Several people understand that Bao Xiaoheiguan's errands are rewards and punishments, enforcing military laws, and supervising the military discipline of all departments. If they get along well with him.Big things become small things, and small things become nothing; on the contrary, nothing becomes something, and small things become big things.

"Your subordinates will see you." After the ceremony of participation, the four stood in front of Li Shouhan with their hands down.When training recruits, Shou Han pays attention to cultivating etiquette, norms, hierarchy and so on in the army.Now, although Zuo Chen, Xu Wang and the others returned victorious, they did not dare to deviate in the slightest.

"Sit down! Tell me about your trip." Li Shouhan looked at his four subordinates with satisfaction.

"According to the order of the lord, the last general went to accept Tieshan Village, but it was a pity that he was one step late. The news of He Ni's defeat and death had already been brought back to the village by the defeated soldiers. He Ni's family was full of old and weak, more than forty people, piled firewood in the ancestral hall , committed suicide by setting fire to himself. When the final general arrived, it was irreparable. He had to pick up the bones and bring them back and hand them over to the general for disposal. This trip accepted Tieshanzhai and obtained more than 420 catties of pig iron, more than 27 buffaloes, and 340 gold 34 taels, 270 eight taels of silver, 34 five catties of grain, more than 63 bolts of various silks, more than [-] bolts of cotton cloth, and [-] large and small ships. There are [-] people. There is also a mine, according to the testimony of the old people in the village, which can produce tens of thousands of catties of iron every year."

"Is there any loss in soldiers and horses?"

"Except for more than a dozen injuries, no horses were lost."

"Remember, Chen Tianhua made one battle."

"Biaoxia was ordered to cleanse the lairs of the Ka clan and penetrated more than 430 miles into the enemy's territory. Defeated eighteen enemy villages! Beheaded more than 340 levels. Captured a total of more than 22 young, strong, old, weak, women and children, of which Ding Zhuang 500 and four. More than 15 buffaloes were captured! [-] seven taels of gold sand! More than [-] taels of silver, and more than [-] catties of grain."

Hearing Wang Bao's achievements, all the people in the conference hall had their eyes lit up and their mouths full of praise.Obediently!It took half a month to set off and bring back to the division, entered the enemy's territory for more than [-] miles, and conquered [-] enemy villages? !Is this Phoenix Battalion flying all the way?On average, two villages will be captured in one day? !

Li Shouhan smiled, these people don't know, hundreds of years later, there will be an army that can march more than [-] miles in a day and night, and even fight a few small battles.However, the combat effectiveness and mobility of the Phoenix Battalion are now top-notch among the infantry of this era.

"Wang Bao, you can't lie about your military achievements!" Xu Huanshan deliberately wanted to praise Wang Bao, so that he would have the opportunity to brag about his military achievements in front of everyone.

"My lord!" Wang Bao's black face flushed red, "Wang Bao had one lie, and the ancestor gods sent down lightning to strike Wang Bao to death!"

"Tell me how you conquered eighteen enemy villages within ten days? Expanded land for more than five hundred miles?"

Uncle Fu's gray brows trembled. He clearly heard Li Shouhan talking about five hundred miles of land extension. Could it be?

"Biaoxia's subordinates marched for half a day, and met dozens of barbarians from Ngawang's remnant tribe. They followed them all the way to the village of the Ka clan. It was a big collapse. We rushed into the gate and wiped out the pain, which is how the main stronghold of Ngawang was conquered."

After conquering Awang's main village, Wang Bao used the main village as a base to launch an attack on the Ka tribe cottages in the surrounding area. Those Ka tribe barbarians holding Miao swords may be able to occupy the opponent's territory in one-on-one melee combat. It's cheap, but Wang Bao's Phoenix Battalion also received strict training under Li Shouhan's men. Who will play one-on-one melee combat with you?When dealing with these barbarians, first shoot with a bow and arrow, and then shoot up with spears like a forest.In addition, before the Ka clan's defeat, they told the tribe about the horror of the Han spear phalanx, and soon the Ka clan's fortress collapsed. Except for a few unsightly people who were poked into blood gourds, everyone else knelt down and begged drop.

Along the way, basically none of the villages would be able to last a stick of incense in the face of such an offensive.So Wang Bao's Phoenix Battalion marched all the way, fought all the way, and checked the results all the way. Now it has pushed the front of the soldiers into the territory of Laos, and Li Shouhan's five-meter spear was honored to be awarded the title of Sangmen Spear.

"My lord, the men under the bid said that our Sangmen Spear is much more useful than the Miao Dao. Can we replace the Miao Dao in the hands of the under bidders with the Sangmen Spear?" Wang Bao said after finishing his story. After the record, such an application was made.

"Sangmen Gun?! How does it have such a name?" Shou Han was a little dumbfounded.The five-meter spears in the hands of the soldiers were made by him according to the style of the spears in the Spanish phalanx. took such a title.

"I'm not busy for now, wait until the craftsmen are ready, what's the loss of this trip?"

"15 people were slightly injured, 29 people were seriously injured, and [-] people were killed." Compared with Chen Tianhua's casualties, Wang Bao's loss was a bit big, but he was going head-to-head to fight the enemy, and the situation of the two was different.

"Write it down. Wang Bao made a great contribution." Li Shouhan is very satisfied with Wang Bao's record. Leaving aside the looting of gold and silver property, the capture of those strong men alone is enough to alleviate the current situation in various factories, mines, logging yards, and shipyards. There is a shortage of labor force, and it is the cheapest labor force.Soon, more than 1 captives, including more than 3 strong men, were distributed to the places just mentioned, turning their own flesh and blood into fuel and propellant for Li Shouhan to build his own powerful regime.

"Zuo Xiaopeng, Xu Dahu, tell me about your achievements."

The two little followers in the past are now the commanders of a battalion. They glanced at each other, "My lord, the younger ones have a mediocre record in this trip, not as good as the two troops of King Chen."

"Don't be there! Just say it!"

The two of them were full of anger, and this time they went south, they thought they could show their talents, but they didn't want to hit the cotton with a thousand catties of force.

"The two of us went all the way south. Wherever we went, either the loess pads on the loess pads of the villages and the Qingshuipo Street were several miles away, or the villagers killed the village heads who intended to occupy the villages and came out of the villages to surrender." When the two of them spoke, they wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Huh? Why did the villagers kill the head of the village and go out to ask for surrender?"

It should be said that the chiefs of the village opened the door to surrender to protect themselves and their lives, but why did the villagers of each village rise up and kill the chiefs of the village and open the door to surrender?

"My lord, don't we divide the land here?" Zuo Tianpeng looked at the instigator Li Shouhan with a resentful expression. Your old man made such a thing, let us go all the way south, and everywhere we passed was full of jubilation In the sea of ​​people, there are countless people everywhere asking, "We have surrendered to the general, can we also implement the land division order here?!"

"All the way to the south, it was almost the same as the marching training during the training. There was no battle. All the way to Guangping, until the bank of the Lingjiang River, and then the border of the Southern Dynasty. The two last generals had no choice but to die. However, the elders from hundreds of Han villages along the way came to visit the general with us. We asked the general to take him in! They are willing to implement the military discipline issued by the general!"

"Hundreds of villages?!" Li Shouhan jumped up. This should be the biggest achievement of Xu Huanshan and Zuo Tianpeng's trip.Even if the population of a village is calculated by thousands of people, hundreds of villages is still a very impressive number!

"Write it down! Xu Huanshan and Zuo Tianpeng made a great contribution!"

The hundreds of villagers who went north with Zuo Tianpeng and Xu Huanshan really opened their eyes. This well-known garrison mansion is indeed the place where my general of Ming Dynasty lived.As soon as you enter the border of the Garrison Mansion, you will see a wide road. As far as the eye can see, there are hard-working farmers everywhere. Although they are sweating profusely, you can see the smiles and hope on the faces of those farmers.

right!It is hope and vitality!This is what sets this place apart from the rest!

Seeing the boundless captives, seized gold and silver, goods, and cattle on the school grounds, the villagers couldn't help being dazzled, God!Is this something done by a boy of sixteen or seventeen?Even the children of aristocratic families, with such courage and talent, are still dragons among men.It seems that it is absolutely correct for me to defect to Lord General!

However, what happened next left a deep impression on them.

After Bao Xiaohei, the governor of the town, announced the decision to credit the four leading generals, the soldiers lined up on the school field burst into cheers.

"mighty!"

"mighty!"

"mighty!"

Then, Bao Zhongchen read out the list of trophies handed in by various ministries. The mountains of property, gold and silver, cloth, silk, pig iron, grain and rice, and those buffaloes tied randomly on the tree almost caught the eyes of all the people present. Come on fire.

"Soldiers!" Li Shouhan stood on the platform and began to lecture his troops loudly.

"Have you ever forgotten the three major military disciplines I announced?!"

"Everything is seized and returned to the public!"

"All actions follow orders!"

"Don't take anything indiscriminately!"

What answered him was a roar like thunder.

"Very good! It seems that everyone has not forgotten! Now, I announce that [-]% of the total value of the goods seized this time will be distributed to the soldiers of this battle!"

"Thank you, General, for the reward!" Everyone heard the figure of the seized property read out by the governor of the town just now, [-]% of the total value, that is also an astronomical figure!It is enviable to apportion it to every soldier!

"The new recruits who are being trained in the mansion this time will each be given an extra ration!" Xiang Yuman sat alone, Li Shouhan understood this truth, and the envious recruits suddenly burst into cheers, "Thank you, General reward!"

"However, I want to ask, gentlemen, is it true that no one disobeyed my military order and hid property?!" In one sentence, the people present calmed down.

yes!There are more than one hundred people, all kinds of people.In the queue, some people began to look around and looked around.

"Bao Zhongchen, close your eyes!" Li Shouhan shouted loudly.

"Follow the order!" Bao Zhongchen didn't know why the general gave such a password, but he still followed the order.

"Listen to my password! Everyone sit down!"

"Boast!" Thousands of people moved in unison, and everyone sat down on the ground of the school field.

"I will order you to close your eyes and meditate in a while. If someone seizes it privately, you can take this opportunity to put it in the pile of items over there. I also ask all the old people to close your eyes and meditate with everyone. After I order to open your eyes, if If you haven’t discarded it, don’t be unpredictable! Close your eyes!”

All the people present closed their eyes, and even the children who were watching the excitement outside the field were blindfolded by their mothers. There was a sound of chaotic footsteps in the school field.Soon, the footsteps stopped.

"Okay! Everyone! Open your eyes!"

"Town governor! Order, check!"

Bao Xiaohei waved the flag with the word "Law Enforcement" embroidered in his hand, "Everyone has it, unleash your weapons! Disarm!"

Following an order, everyone carefully placed the bows, arrow pots, miao knives, and Juehu spears in their hands on the ground, and took off the bamboo armor.

"Jump ten times in place!"

Soon, those who were lucky and intended to get away with it were exposed. After a few jumps, the gold and silver hidden on their bodies fell to the ground. The robe fell to the ground.

Li Shouhan took a cold look at being escorted to the front of the general's platform under the accusation of thousands of people, "I said it before, so it's not predictable. Governor, make an announcement!"

"According to military regulations! Secretly hiding and seizing property, taking private property indiscriminately, and punishing the eighty army sticks!"

"Announce, everyone's reward numbers!"

"For this battle against rebellion, our general's mansion sent a total of 500 troops! 400 people went out on an expedition, and 100 stayed behind. Each of the expeditionary troops will get two stones of rice and ten taels of silver! One tael of silver will be given out; those who kill more than 10 enemies will be promoted to the next level and rewarded with a cow! Each of the remaining troops will get a stone of rice and five taels of silver!"

"Wow!" There was a lot of discussion in the audience.People began to whisper to each other, calculating how they would use the property, but the more shocking thing was yet to come.

"Although our army won a great victory in this battle against rebellion, 30 people were slightly injured, 29 were seriously injured and disabled, and 20 were killed. The general is kind, and all the injured will receive free medical treatment, and everyone who is seriously injured and disabled will receive silver. 50 taels, [-] taels of rice, and arranged to farm. In addition to [-] taels of silver and [-] shi of rice, each person killed in battle was given [-] mu of sacrificial land to be taken by his family, but the sacrificial land was not allowed to be bought or sold. Severe punishment will be imposed! Three days later, the general will choose Ji Rang to bury the soldiers who died in the rebellion, and set up a temple to worship!"

If the reward just now was a blockbuster, then this compensation for the casualties is definitely a cloud bomb.The Chinese people say that they are old enough to live in peace, and Li Shouhan’s idea of ​​pensions is definitely not worth mentioning from a modern point of view, but it was absolutely shocking in the late Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, especially the establishment of temples for sacrifices. It has already been able to make most of the sergeants present want to smash their bodies to pieces for him immediately!

"General benevolence!" The soldiers and civilians at the scene knelt down and chanted unanimously after hearing the town governor's reading.

"Please, everyone, Li just did what he was supposed to do, and he really shouldn't deserve such a big gift." Li Shouhan waved his hand modestly, motioning everyone to get up, "People can't stand without faith. ri, Li's school established a letter."

"start execution!"

Thus, the strangest, but most impressive scene was presented before people's eyes.

On the left side of the general platform, there was a row of eighty law enforcement soldiers under the governor of the town. They pressed the violating soldiers to the ground, stripped off their shirts (that is, their trousers), and beat them fiercely with their army sticks. The screams and begging for mercy kept coming and going.

On the right side of the general's platform, soldiers are happily receiving reward silver and morning glory bamboo chips according to the organizational unit.
