Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 97 Development Strategy

Ji Kan looked at the dead army soldiers returning with full load, and laughed heartily: "This time it is really a complete victory!" At this time, Banxian Valley fell into a sea of ​​joy, even if their family members were killed in this battle, these martyrs After a period of sadness with the families of the wounded soldiers, they were immersed in cheers like other common people and soldiers.

Contrary to the excitement of the crowd, Jianghuai Metropolitan Governor Shi Shi and Si Hu joined the army Lu Yonghua looked sad. He handed a financial statement to Gao Jingzong's desk: "A total of 890 people were killed in this battle (mostly recruits) ), the pension is 560 gold (each gold is worth 560 gold), the wounded are 560 seven people, and a total of 210 million yuan is needed for soup and medicine, which is equivalent to 300 seven gold. 150 million coins, or 570 gold. The whole army beheaded 810 enemies, a total of [-] million coins. Although the dead army won the battle, they needed to pay out, wound medicine fees, pension fees, and military merit rewards A total of [-] seven gold!"

Lu Yonghua said with a bitter face: "Governor, you shouldn't have promulgated so high a pension for the fallen soldiers. Even for the officers and soldiers of the Jin Dynasty, the pension for the dead in battle is only ten thousand yuan. Our dead army is actually worth a million yuan, is it true?" A hundred times as much as the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, this is too high!"

"No!" Gao Jingzong said: "They were all raised by their fathers and mothers, and no one is more noble than the other. The lives of dead soldiers are not that cheap. One million yuan sounds like a lot, but it is the price of five horses. Instead of feeling more, I feel less.”

"But we can't afford it!" Lu Yonghua said: "We sold all the salt we mined this year. Not only did we have no savings, but we owed Xin'an Business Alliance 5000 gold. Next year's salt will be sold, and it will not be enough to pay off the debt. Now we have captured more than 8000 members of Lu Longtian's family army. If we follow the wishes of the governor, we should choose young and strong to join the dead army. There are as many as 830 soldiers. Although no military salary is paid, each person has six shi of grain per year, which is nearly [-] shi of grain. There are more than [-] young soldiers who died, and each of them gets [-]% of the grain salary. After a year, this is [-] shi A thousand shi. In addition to the consumption of the whole army, by the way, there are [-] or eight war horses, which consume at least [-] to [-] shi of grain every year. Governor, even if you tear apart my old bones, you can't sell them for so much money! "

When the cannon fires, the golden ten thousand taels!Gao Jingzong touched his nose, "It's time to make money."

Gao Jingzong said: "Wei Dafu, notify all officers who have joined the army and are above the military rank to attend the meeting!"

It was almost late at night when the military commanders of each song explained the work in hand, and squeezed out time to come to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion (Wolf, Xue) for a meeting.This meeting can be regarded as a large gathering of the core members of the Jianghuai Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Of course, the person who presided over the meeting was Gao Jingzong, the governor of Gao University, and the person who took the record of the meeting was Zheng Shishi, who was arrested by Gao Jingzong's temporary arrest. Zheng Shishi took the job of serving tea and water by the way.

Those who participated in the meeting included Governor General Shi, Si Hu joined the army Lu Yonghua, Si Bing joined the army, the dead army commander Ji Kan, and the deputy general Feng Lei.Biebu Sima Su Gu, Hu Guang, Liu Meng, Zhang Tu, Nie Yanshi and ten military officers.Ran Yu, the commander of the Young Death Army, and the three other divisions, Sima Ge Gou'er, Wen Meng, and Cai Laicai.

Si Xing joined the army and was formerly a black-faced Wang Daxing of Yecheng Water and Fire Yamen.

There is no one available for Si Gong to join the army Gao Jingzong, only the master craftsman Hou Defu is forced to take charge.

Si Li joined the army because of the fat Chen Ying who was temporarily arrested by Gao Jingzong.

It was Gao Jingzong himself who was responsible for joining the army.In this way, the shelf of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has finally been set up.In the conference hall, the one who came first was Chen Ying, the fat man who basically had nothing to do. At this time, he held up the ivory white porcelain cup leisurely, gently blown the tea flowers, and slowly sipped.

Seeing Gao Jingzong's arrival, Chen Ying, the fat man, immediately jumped up like a spring. Seeing this scene, he hurried up to beat Gao Jingzong's back, with a charming face, and a series of flattery came out vigorously.In a short while, Gao Jingzong added countless titles, "What is the savior of the world", "Wise and Martial", "Heavenly Wizard", "Sun Wu is resurrected, the god of war in the world".

Faced with Chen Ying's flattery, Gao Jingzong not only did not feel complacent, but instead had goose bumps all over his body, with black lines all over his face.Seeing the murderous aura coming out of Gao Jingzong's body, Chen Ying panicked, and he was a little at a loss.

"Fatty Chen Ying Chen, believe it or not, I'll sew your mouth shut!" Gao Jingzong was gradually adapting to the role of the Jianghuai governor at this time, with 6 or [-] lives and deaths on his shoulders, especially leading the recruits of the dead army to charge into battle. A strong aura.

In fact, the so-called aura of a superior is nothing more than self-confidence.Facing Chen Ying, the former young master of the Qimen Chen family of the Xin'an Business League, Gao Jingzong couldn't be confident even if he wanted to, but now it's different from the past, Gao Jingzong's self-confidence is almost bursting.

Chen Ying's face turned green with fright, and he immediately shut his mouth tightly without saying a word.

The people attending the meeting burst out laughing.

"Okay, let's continue the gossip later!" Gao Jingzong said loudly: "Now, let's start the meeting. The first topic of today's meeting is the crisis brought about by this big victory. This time we will protect the Banished Immortal Valley, With the concerted efforts of the whole army, sincere unity, fear of sacrifice, tenacious struggle, and bloody battles, our dead army won a brilliant victory. The capture was very rich. First of all, on behalf of the Jianghuai Metropolitan Government, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the soldiers who participated in the war!"

Although Gao Jingzong has never been a leader, he has watched a lot of TV and movies, and he has also learned to speak bureaucratically like a leader, and to speak some scenes.After a word of praise, praise, and praise, Gao Jingzong took advantage of the enthusiasm of the audience and officially entered the topic: "Now, we have more than 800 Lu Longtian begging troops and more than [-] horses. Originally, there were five troops in one battalion. The establishment of ten departments is not enough."

Everyone nodded one after another. With the gradual expansion of the dead army and the expansion of troops, promotion is inevitable.Gao Jingzong went on to say: "Our Shiwu military system is a bit bloated, and the coordination between the various military branches is also unreasonable. Therefore, after much deliberation, the governor of the capital decided to establish a military government."

The so-called military mansion was actually created by Yu Wentai, a power minister in the Northern Zhou Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. "Book of the Later Wei Dynasty" says: "In the eighth year of the Western Wei Dynasty, Yu Wentai imitated Zhou Dian and set up six armies, which were combined into a hundred mansions. This is the origin of the mansion army system, but it prevailed in the Tang Dynasty. The mansion army system in the Tang Dynasty was based on On the basis of awarding farmer households, 630 four military mansions were established in the key points of the provinces, prefectures, and counties across the country, collectively called Zhechong Mansions. According to the size of the establishment, there were three grades of large, medium, and small. People, small ones 200 people, the chief of the Zhechong Mansion is the Zhengsi Rank Duwei Zhechong, under the Duwei there are two adjutants Zuoguoyi and Youguoyi. Below is the fire, which is the basic organizational system of the Tang army. The word gang in the so-called criminal gang actually originated from this.
