Chapter 854: "Sharing the Spoils" After the War
After the Houjin army completely withdrew from the battlefield, Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu tried to lead their troops close to a large number of civilians and a long queue of carriages. When it was confirmed that there was no ambush, the two of them looked at the boxes on the carriage and were excited—some of the boxes had been pried open by Yu Ding or the Han army before leaving, and some valuable and light soft ones were taken away, but the boxes were full of silver and could be seen from a distance.
Yang Guozhu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Tiger General Soldier, the Tartars left these gold and silver, even if they get thirty percent, you and I will not have to worry about eating and drinking for a few years!" ……”
Hu Dawei grinned happily: "It's not, otherwise I look forward to the little food and salary of the imperial court every year, look forward to the stars and the moon, and wait until I have it in my hand to pay the arrears, this time it is really paid." However, the first thing I did when I got the silver was to buy a bird gun from Qionghai Town......"
Yang Guozhu came to his senses, "Yes, yes, this bird gun in Qionghai Town is much stronger than the one issued by the military department, not only can it be fired in a row, but it will not blow up the chamber, they just relied on this bird gun to repel the slave chief Azig, it is really an artifact!" ”
"Moreover, the bird gun is equipped with short thorns, and it can be used as a spear in close combat, but it can be near or far, how can it be compared to the rags of the imperial court." Hu Dawei reminded, "With such a good thing, you don't need the assistance of spearmen, you can attack and retreat, and you can defend it, and it is sharp and tight." I just hope that Mr. Xia is willing to sell it to us, and it won't be too expensive......"
"Haha, Tiger General wants to buy it, naturally it is the cost price, and if you don't let me post the money, it will be done." Summer Nance approached and said with a smile.
The two were overjoyed when they heard this, and Hu Dawei asked, "Does Mr. Xia mean that he is willing to sell?" ”
"Naturally, both of them are good men who are willing to fight hard with the Tartars, and my bird guns are naturally willing to sell to bloody men. As for some people, I don't want to sell anything, no matter how high the price is. The direction of these words is very clear, that is, Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong. Having said that, Wang Pu rushed into the pile of dead people, and under the dense lead bullet, he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
The two looked at each other and felt lucky, but how correct the decision of the summer Nanma was to see how correct it was, not only drove away the Tartars, but also shared the merits and glory, on the contrary, they might lose to the army of Azig and Abatai without suspense, and return to Xuanfu and Shanxi with the remnants of the defeated army. As for Wang Pu, who is greedy for merit, he can only ask for more blessings.
Yang Guozhu didn't understand something, and couldn't help asking: "General Xia, let's divide the gold and silver left by the Tartars, this is human nature, after all, silver is indispensable for salary and training." But what are you going to do with these more than 100,000 people? We are just military generals, responsible for training troops to fight, and the matter of pacifying the people is not under our control, so many people's eating, drinking, and Lazar is a big trouble, leaving those civilian officials with a headache, why do you still take it on yourself? ”
Hu Dawei also asked puzzledly: "Yes, these people who were left behind by the Tartars are all young and strong, most of the families are ruined, and they not only have to eat and drink, but also relocate their residences and acres of land, how can we warriors have this ability?" You are also from Guangdong, how can you afford to settle them in the Gyeonggi area, and it is difficult to bring them back to Guangdong? ”
Summer replied: "Two, you also know that all of you are young and strong here, and in my eyes, this is all a source of soldiers!" Our defense area is in Qiongzhou Mansion, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the most scarce thing is people, if you get 100,000 people back, no matter how you screen, the best of the best, 30,000 soldiers can always be trained......"
The two looked at each other, very shocked. A general soldier is actually capable of eating 100,000 young people, and this financial strength and courage are also unparalleled in the world.
Yang Guozhu coughed and kindly reminded: "This ...... Mr. Xia, my brother has something to remind you, even if you have the ability to contain these people, you must beware of the impeachment of the speaker--absorb more than 100,000 young people in one town, and anyone thinks you are going to rebel...... Besides, these people are all natives of the Gyeonggi area, and even if their homes are burned to the ground, they may not be willing to leave their hometowns and go to Qiongzhou with you......"
Yang Guozhu said from the bottom of his heart, outside the city wall of the Beijing Division, in front of everyone, taking away 100,000 young Zhuang said that it was a training army, which was far beyond the normal range of troops under the jurisdiction of a general army, and it was normal for people to be suspected of rebelling. As long as the Chinese peasants are not in danger of starving to death, they will generally not leave their hometowns, not to mention the Gyeonggi region, and the imperial court will not sit idly by and watch a large number of refugees threaten the safety of the capital.
"Haha, the rebellion will be impeached with them, I am very thick-skinned, and I am not afraid of these talkers......" Xia Nan thought to himself, not to mention that Lao Tzu will rebel sooner or later, but he has to choose the right time, impeachment will be impeached, and he will not lose a piece of meat, so what can I do?
"As for the reluctance of the people to leave their homes, this is a problem, thank you for the reminder from Mr. Yang. In Gyeonggi County, the people around the Son of Heaven may not be able to look down on the poor countryside in Qiongzhou, so they have to think of a way......" Xia Nan rolled his eyes, thought about it, called Yang Youji, and whispered a few words. Yang Youji nodded again and again, and turned away.
"Come on, come on, put aside the others in advance, and the three of us will divide these gold and silver goods, lest it take a long time, and the court will also worry about it......
As soon as the two of them heard this, this was right, and it was said that the emperor had been troubled with the emptiness of the treasury all day long, and if he knew about the silver, he would definitely have a holy decree to take it away.
Hu Dawei glanced at Yang Guozhu and said: "Mr. Xia is righteous, but we can't ignore the good and bad, these silver just rely on the two of us, even if we fight hard, we can't take it, it's all stained with your light, and we deserve to take three percent." It's better to do this, you take sixty percent, and I and the national pillar each take two achievements. ”
Yang Guozhu paused for a moment, and immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, it should be so." Besides, General Xia is determined to accept these people, which costs a lot of money, and it is easier to do things with more silver......"
Xia Nan was not hypocritical, and accepted this "spoils sharing plan" after some concessions.
The leaders here are "sharing the spoils", and Yang Youji is giving lectures to the people according to Xia Nan's instructions.
The number of more than 100,000 people was too much, and Yang Youji scattered every 100 soldiers of the guard battalion to relay the message.
"Listen to me. In order to prevent the Tartars from mixing into the capital, now we have to take you all away, slowly screen, find out a batch, let go of a batch, and catch the fine work and kill it! ”
The people complained one after another: "Master Jun, wronged, we are all innocent, ask the Master Jun to see ......"
Yang Youji secretly thought that the general's trick really worked. If they are persuaded to go to Qiongzhou, not many people may be willing to leave their hometowns, but if they are worried about their lives, no one will make noise. When I arrived in Qiongzhou, I surrounded the sea for four years, and I couldn't run if I wanted to.
