Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 352

If it is said when the Jinyiwei branch stationed in Tianjin is the easiest to attack, it was hard to say in the past. After Wang Tong took charge here, on the 22nd day of the first lunar month in the seventh year of Wanli, except for the training camp near the salt flats, the rest of the places were undefended. Yes, even the government offices in the city are deserted.

Twenty battalions, including cavalry, etc., almost 4000 people are here in the training camp. The wind is blowing on the face, and it is still like a knife. On both sides of the wooden platform, there is a row of wooden stakes. The bloody heads, these people are all from Baojiazhuang, and anyone who has been stained with the blood of the guards in brocade clothes will be beheaded for public display.

"You who died fighting for the Ming Dynasty are martyrs of the Ming Dynasty. The family members of the martyrs are tax-free and will be supported by Jin Yiwei for life. Those who want to serve in the army will be given priority in taking care of their children."

The heavy-faced soldiers walked forward with the urn in their hands, and handed over the ashes to the crying family members. Wang Tong stood on the stage with his hands behind his back, looking at the audience in silence.

After the urn was handed over to the family members, the calling soldier looked back at Wang Tong, saw Wang Tong nodding, and shouted loudly again:

"The pension for the war dead is 50 taels per person!!"

The crying family members took the money, and they were all stunned. The military households already had the fields in the guards to cultivate. Wang Tong said that after tax exemption and tax exemption, they can already live well. People in the country don't spend much, and with this money, they can already live a very good life.

Precisely because he was a child of a military household in the Weisuo, he knew how much money Daming paid for his death in battle, and it was deducted layer by layer to his family members, who couldn't even afford to burn paper.

But now the real 50 taels of silver are in their hands, they are people who have been poor all their lives, and they may have never seen so much money.

Although their own flesh and blood are connected, some people have the idea at this moment that their son's death for Wang Qianhu is not in vain, and death is worth it.

There was a lot of emotion in the rush, some people cried loudly and knelt on the ground, kowtowed desperately towards the direction of the wooden platform, Wang Tong waved his hand, and soldiers came over by the side, either helping or persuading them, bringing them all together. down.

Wang Tong took a step forward and waved his hands. The soldiers of the first battalion escorted the five tied up people to the front of the stage. Wang Tong looked down coldly and asked loudly to the generals:

"You have all memorized military law. In military law, what is the crime of fleeing in battle!!?"

"After the audience was quiet for a while, they replied unevenly:
"cut!"

Wang Tong frowned and roared loudly:
"My official wine, meat, rice and noodles are for you to eat and drink. Why do you speak so weakly, speak up, what is the crime of fleeing in battle!!?"

"cut!!"

This time, the audience answered in a uniform and thunderous voice. Wang Tong nodded and waved his hand blankly. The officers and soldiers of the first battalion had been staring at Wang Tong's movements. He paused, pushed the deserter to the ground, and chopped it down with a knife.

The heads of the five deserters fell to the ground, spraying blood, except for Wang Tong, the generals of the Tan family, Ma Sanbiao, and Li Hutou who remained calm, there was some commotion in the field.

"You are eating military rations, receiving military pay, wearing armor, and holding weapons, so that you can go to battle to kill the enemy, defend your home and country, and quell chaos and order. If you shrink back and run away, this is the end, this is the military law. , remember!!?"

"remember!!!"

The people below responded loudly, Wang Tong took a breath, and said loudly again:
"Deserters are treated as death row prisoners, and their families are not allowed to enjoy the treatment of military martyrs."

After saying this, there was silence in the audience. Everyone is young and strong in the family. Although there are brothers to support their parents, it is a concern after all. If you die, your parents and family will not receive any subsidies, then it is absolutely unreasonable Yes, the military law is so strict that everyone is awe-inspiring.

The following ceremony was more relaxed and cheerful. Wang Tong read out the names of the soldiers who had killed the enemy and made meritorious deeds, handed out rewards in person, and encouraged them verbally.

The horse team is directly under Wang Tong, and the first battalion is the strongest battalion, so they will definitely participate in the battle. The fifth battalion, seventh battalion, and No.12 battalion are temporarily selected.

Now watching the soldiers who have killed the enemy and made great contributions receive awards on the stage, some received silver rewards, and some were promoted on the spot, everyone was jealous.

**************
"Deserters should be killed, you did the right thing."

In the warm room, Yu Dayou said to Wang Tong in a deep voice, although Wang Tong was quite indifferent and calm when he was on stage, but when he returned home, he closed the door and saw no visitors.

"My lord's lesson is that I have watched the training of the five deserters and talked to them a few times, but I didn't expect it."

Wang Tong took the teapot and filled Yu Dayou's big jar with tea, and said with a smile:
"It's true that I don't feel very comfortable. The people below must have looked worried, so I asked the boss to come over to persuade him, and made the boss laugh."

"Anyone who has experienced this is normal. When the old man just killed someone, he couldn't eat meat for a few days. It's good to see more, it's better to see more."

Hearing Wang Tong's relaxed words, Yu Dayou also joked a few words, then said solemnly:

"It's the first time for your sons and daughters to fight with real swords and guns, but this is the first time there have been deserters. If you don't kill and you won't be punished, what will you do in the future? Don't think too much. The first thing you need to do is to lead soldiers. There is nothing wrong with being kind, and the second is to be ruthless, there is nothing wrong with it, you should be kind to soldiers on weekdays, and you must be ruthless when marching, otherwise why would you give orders.”

Accompanying Yu Dayou to talk a few words, the old man was a little drowsy due to the heat between the walls of the house, so he decided to go inside and take a nap first, because he knew that Wang Tong had no wives, and he didn't need a wives to wait on him.

Wang Tong gently closed the door, only to find that General Tan was standing at the door. General Tan's family was commensurate with his usual master and servant, but he cared about him like an elder, and he was very moved.

"Prepare some silver taels and send them privately to the families of those deserters. After all, they have been training with us for so long."

Hearing Wang Tong's order, General Tan smiled and bowed to accept the order.

***********
Although the punishment of deserters is frightening, the compensation for those who died in battle and the rewards for meritorious officials are also seen by everyone, and everyone knows how to be treated in this battalion on weekdays.

Ordinary civilians are fine, but the children of military households know what these treatments mean. More than 50 people were injured, and nearly ten people were killed in battle and deserted. stare.

Even though they were having fun during the first lunar month, there were still people wandering around several military camps and the Jinyiwei Thousand Households Office in the city all day long, and people from the city gate also visited regularly.

There is no other reason, let's see if there is a document for Jin Yiwei's recruitment over there, so that his children can sign up quickly.

However, the selection of new recruits was not carried out publicly. This time, they were recruited internally. Fifty young people who were not lazy and slick, and who were strong and strong were selected from the original Xiangxiang crowd at the bow of the ship.

After being selected, the family members who had been working along the pier immediately became military members, were resettled back to their original residences, and were given money and rice.

The group of people from the original incense group is also in the Chuantouxiang. There is no management of the head and the head of the incense. Not to mention the physical strength, those who have worked in a group and know how to obey orders are the most suitable soldiers.

This internal selection changed the spirit of Chuantou Xiangzhong. At first, everyone was a little desperate. Become an official, a step-by-step change.

It turns out that there are such good things to do hard work, and with this hope, everyone's spirits are much higher. Once the mentality is improved, they realize that this hard labor is not paid well. At least the food is good and the clothes are warm. From the beginning to the end I didn't treat everyone badly, just work with peace of mind.

***********
Ten servants from the Qing Army Department, a hundred soldiers from the former Tianjin Wei Jinyiwei, and 150 people led by Bao Danwen formed an anti-smuggling team.

Bao Danwen knew what he relied on for his survival. In the small battle at Baojiazhuang, dozens of officers and soldiers in the main battalion were killed or injured, and there was another incident of desertion. Everyone was beheaded to show the public, but the battalion officers who participated in the battle did not have a good impression of him.

Inexplicably, a future has fallen from the sky, and there are married children in the hands of the other party. Although Bao Shanwen is almost 50 years old, he is more motivated than a young man.

After staying in Tianjin Wei for only ten days, he hurriedly asked for orders to go out to investigate after a short rest, but he was full of resentment from his deputy, Hang Daqiao, who was temporarily assigned to him. What's the meaning.

This Bao Danwen really has some skills. The so-called thief is a public man who catches all the thieves. people.

On the third day, Bao Shanwen arrested six illegal salt dealers and five loads of salt...

The memorabilia of the Yan Xiao colluding with the Salt Transportation Department through Qian Chunping, the official salt making private salt for huge profits, the magistrate of Qing County delivered it to the capital through the Hejian Mansion, and submitted it through the Secretary of General Administration. What Shan Wen saw and heard, and a secret letter from Wang Tong, which explained what he saw and saw on hundreds of tank boats loaded with illegal salt in the Chuantouxiang case.

The memorials were sent to the Secretary of General Administration, and the subordinates of the Secretary of General Administration collected their experiences and then sorted them into categories. The memorials of the Zhili prefecture were different from those of other provinces as usual, and were sent to the Secretary of General Administration, You Tongzheng.

The Right Tongzheng must first check whether the memorial complies with the system format, and whether there are any disrespectful taboos in the text. If everything is suitable, he will summarize it for the Tongzheng Envoy and send it to the Supervisor of Rituals.

The matter is related to the Ouchi, and the General Secretary is also the joint of the government and the opposition. In order to know the news in time, all forces have placed cronies and eyes and ears here.

In addition to the special sealed secret letterheads, the local officials often know about it earlier than the emperor.

The Department of Salt Transportation was found out for ink corruption. It is not uncommon for such things to happen in the Salt Administration. It is strange that it does not come out. So he gave the close-fitting book to the person who received the news outside.

Qian Chunping, who is good at talking by hand, was once a guest in Zhang Han's house, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and was recommended by someone to be the head of the Lu Salt Transport Department. Experience...
