After the military salary of fifteen silver coins per soldier was issued, the morale of the entire 40th Regiment was unprecedentedly high, and even the officers and men of the 7th Wing of Baifeng were more attentive and active than ever during training.
Less than two hours after the 40th Army Corps' salaries were paid, the officers and men of the other seven legions jointly surrounded the barracks of the 40th Army Corps.
The confrontation between the two sides was so fierce that the scene was on the verge of getting out of control, and if it weren't for Giscar's strict order that each wing commander must control his wing and not attack the friendly soldiers first, an unexpected civil war might have broken out.
Even so, the aggressive officers and men of the other legions did not intend to let go of the 40th Legion, and the officers and men of the other legions, carried away by anger, did not surround the 40th Legion in an organized way, but spontaneously demanded an explanation.
By the time the pale-faced Commander Andrew and the other seven legion commanders arrived with their co-captains, the fortieth legion's reinforcement cavalry had already arrived at the Imperial Military Headquarters, and this pre-departure infighting immediately attracted the attention of the Military Headquarters and Charlemagne.
Charlemagne, who had a secret guard in hand, quickly understood the cause and effect of the infighting, but he could neither blame the fortieth legion, which raised its own salaries, nor punish the other seven legionmen who had been treated unfairly.
Now that the army is about to set out, in order to maintain stability as much as possible, Charlemagne, who does not want to come forward in person, ordered the Minister of War, Duke Cullen, to settle the internal strife within an hour;
When Duke Cullen and his military guards hurried to the camp of the Northern Army, Giscard's explanation had already convinced the officers and men of the other seven legions, and the fact that Bai Feng's funding, which was supposed to be kept secret, was announced by Giscard in public.
Compared to the shock of the other seven legions, the soldiers of the fortieth legion were deeply grateful, and for the first time, the name of Bai Feng appeared in the ears of the 160,000 soldiers, making everyone remember this generous co-captain.
The 420,000 silver coins sent by Duke Cullen were just enough to raise the salary of each soldier to six silver coins, which was still a world away from the fifteen silver coins of the soldiers of the Fortieth Legion, but it was able to quell the turmoil.
Bai Feng, who seemed to have gained fame and fortune, was actually pushed to the forefront by this turmoil, whether it was the high-ranking officials of the imperial military department or Charlemagne, who controlled everything, they were dissatisfied with Bai Feng, who raised his own military salary, thinking that he caused the turmoil.
After all, the situation at that time was too dangerous, and it was understandable that Commander Giscard had no choice but to tell the truth of the facts.
However, Bai Feng can understand Captain Giscar, but it does not mean that Captain Giscard himself can turn the page with peace of mind; after the follow-up matters are dealt with, the guilty Captain Giscard specially found Bai Feng and sincerely apologized to him.
"Bai Feng, today's matter is that I can't stand you!" Looking at Bai Feng's calm face, the slightly embarrassed Giscard explained with a wry smile: "It's really forced by the situation that I have to tell the truth of the facts, I hope you don't feel guilty because of this!"
In the face of his boss's voluntary apology, Bai Feng, who was inevitably a little unhappy in his heart, what else could he say? He had to pretend not to care, and said indifferently: "General, I am a member of the Fortieth Legion, and it is my honor to be able to serve the Legion. ”
After withdrawing from Giskal's military tent, looking at the night sky with sparse moon and stars, Bai Feng let out a long sigh;
Of course, the dissatisfaction of the Imperial Military Department and Charlemagne was far less important in Bai Feng's heart than the respect of the soldiers, and Giscard thought that he had solved the crisis in the best way, but he didn't know that the ultimate beneficiary was Bai Feng.
Standing tall under the starry sky, Bai Feng stood in place for less than three minutes, when a patrol officer of the First Wing came over; ”
Facing the respectful gaze of the captain and the soldiers behind him, Bai Feng, who had retracted his thoughts, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged him: "Patrol well, after completing the task, rest and recuperate tonight, and the army will start early tomorrow morning." ”
"No!" Bai Feng's gentle attitude made the captain nod again and again in flattery.
A mere greeting made Bai Feng's mood instantly improve, because this wing captain is not an ordinary title, normally only the soldiers of the seventh wing will call Bai Feng the wing captain, and the soldiers of the other wings will respectfully call him Bai Feng wing captain.
Therefore, just from the title of wing leader, Bai Feng felt the respect of the soldiers of the Fortieth Army Corps for him, such a result may have been unimaginable for Giscar, who made him just a pure, politically ignorant soldier.
The departure of the army early tomorrow morning is the most important matter of the 40th Wing; as the commander of the Seventh Wing, Bai Feng still has a lot of military affairs to deal with tonight, and the first thing to bear the brunt of is to make specific arrangements for the marching order of the Seventh Wing.
After returning to his military tent, Bai Feng, who had begun to deal with military affairs, asked the guards on the side to inform the five captains and quartermasters to come to the military tent to discuss matters; after a while, the five captains and quartermaster Borg came to the military tent one after another.
"Borg, have all the supplies managed by your quartermaster team been packed?" Bai Feng asked Borg first.
"General, all the supplies of the quartermaster team have been loaded, and only three hundred soldiers need to assist in escorting them to go on the expedition. ”
"Three hundred soldiers to assist in the escort?" Bai Feng, who was slightly puzzled, then remembered that the precious space ring was not something that Borg could have, so he took out five space rings from the white spirit ring and put them on the desk in front of him, and ordered to the people below:
"Each of these space rings will receive one, the captain is responsible for carrying the food and grass materials required by their respective brigades for a month, and the quartermaster is responsible for carrying the rest of the materials that the regiment logistics replenished to us; ”
"Hiss......" Bonella and the others, who had long known that they were the captain of the Wing, were still shocked by Bai Feng's generosity at this moment; they gasped, and with trembling hands, they picked up the space ring that belonged to them from the desk, Hans, who was appointed by Bai Feng as the captain of the fifth brigade, already had a space ring, so naturally there was no need to receive it.
"Now that you all have the space ring, tonight you will go to the quartermaster team to distribute the food and grass of your respective brigades, and tomorrow morning when the army starts, the five brigades of our seventh wing will be arranged in order of number and follow the rear of the sixth wing. ”
"No!" The six people who responded in unison made Bai Feng feel a little like he had regained the feeling of being the commander of the army in the past.
