When? In times of war! 667 The dead mourn, the injured feel at ease, and the living forge ahead
When he thought of marrying his daughter-in-law, Wang Forty-six's heart was on fire. In the past few days, he has bumped into his neighbor Zhou, and the woman is really attractive, which makes him even more anxious.
Unexpectedly, early this morning, he was called over, taught him some etiquette, and told him to come here today.
Wang Forty-six never expected that he would be rewarded with a knighthood and have so many fields?
Oh my God, what a joy it is from heaven! In the future, I will be able to live comfortably!
He was stunned for a moment, and was about to thank him after coming back to his senses, but he didn't expect Dong Ce to finish yet, and continued: "In view of Wang Forty-six's performance, he is hereby appointed as the director of the siege defense equipment!" Directly under this official! ”
"What? I? Am I an official? Si Zheng? ”
Wang Forty-six's newly awake head immediately became stunned again, and he felt that he was dreaming. And when he pinched his thigh hard and felt a lot of pain, suddenly tears came down.
His head slammed on the ground, and the force he used was so great that it thumped, and he shouted with a crying voice: "Thank you to your subordinates for your promotion, for your life, and your subordinates will never give up!" ”
What is your background? It's a horse thief! But what about now? Not only does he have a knighthood, but he even has an official body! Although I had never heard of the Yamen of the Siege Defense Ordnance Division before, I could guess from the name that this was a yamen that could give full play to his strengths! From the envious eyes of the people around him, you can also know that this position is not low! Now, I am also an official!
And all of this is given by adults!
Wang Forty-six now has only one thought in his mind: the soldier dies for his confidant!
Many people below were so red-eyed, but no one could say anything. The forty-sixth king of the family is to offer advice and advice, that is, to make merits, people can make instruments, can make instruments, can you do it?
Dong Ce also used this method to make all the soldiers deeply realize that as long as they have the ability, they will never be buried in the Rock Fort Army.
It wasn't until noon that the conference ended, and Dong Ce announced that everyone would have a half-day holiday, but before tomorrow, they had to rush back.
Looking at the cheering soldiers, a smile appeared on the corner of Dong Ce's mouth.
Give generous pensions to the families of the war victims, and give great mourning to the war dead, so that they can be extremely glorious after death, and the future affairs are also worry-free.
Give peace of mind to the soldiers who are injured and can no longer continue to fight, so that they don't have to worry about their lives for the rest of their lives.
Give the soldiers who fought bravely a fair hand, give them material rewards, give them spiritual rewards and glory, and give them a boost in status. And as a result, all the soldiers also clearly saw a golden road that could make them become masters.
They will fight valiantly, because they understand that their efforts will be rewarded, and that by doing so, they will be rewarded by adults. For the fear of injury and death, they were much lower than other Ming soldiers, not afraid of death or injury, but with a lot less concern. Because they also understand that after they are injured, they will live well for the rest of their lives, and even if they die, they will not be so miserable after death.
In fact, Dong Ce's approach is not difficult to think of, and it is not unusual, but how many have been done throughout the ages?
Some people don't treat soldiers as people at all and don't want to do this, and some people want to do this but can't do it. Because according to Dong Ce's pension policy, this pension standard, the cost is too great!
If a soldier dies in battle, the pure pension will cost ten taels of silver, and if there is a child, it will cost two stones of grain, which is equivalent to eight taels of silver, so that one plus is eighteen taels of silver. And that's not all. As for coffins, can't they be bought? For example, the kind of coffin that Dong Ce bought, one will cost five taels of silver! That's twenty-three taels.
Killed a soldier in battle, twenty-three taels!
And the wounded will only be more, where are there so many errands for them to be accommodated?
Now the Rock Fort army is still weak and small, and the number of people is small, so naturally there are fewer dead and wounded, like this time, a total of nine people died. But this is not the case after the scale is expanded, and it is not uncommon for a real big war to have tens of thousands of casualties in a battle, and then a battle will cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver -- just a pension.
I don't have that much money! Where to get money?
Dong Ce didn't know what was going on, but when he saw the gazes of those soldiers—it was a kind of unreserved trust and respect—he decided that no matter what, no matter how difficult it was, the rules he said today must not be changed, and he must stick to them!
Perhaps in the eyes of other generals, this is something that is difficult to climb to the sky, but in Dong Ce's view, it may not be the case.
In fact, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of several major forces was generally not very good. The officers and soldiers are very bad, and the rebel army was beaten by the officers and soldiers in the early stage, and it has grown a little in the later stage, but it is not too big. Even the Houjin soldiers, who have the strongest combat effectiveness, are far from the old relatives they climbed hundreds of years ago. Back then, the Jin soldiers under the command of the Wan Yan clan could wear double layers of heavy armor and launch more than a dozen charges on horseback in a row until the enemy formation was completely crushed, can the current Houjin soldiers have such ability? Maybe there are Bayala soldiers, but the number is very small.
In this environment, Dong Ce believes that if you want to make a difference in this era, you don't need a lot of troops, as long as there are tens of thousands of elites, it's almost the same.
He has always planned to take the route of elite soldiers, otherwise he would not have spent so much effort on training the first batch of recruits, and also cultivated them through a series of means such as strengthening nutrition and improving the living environment. If this is the case, then the cost of compensation and aftermath does not seem to be as terrible as imagined.
……
After finishing the commendation and reward meeting for the Panshibao Army, Dong Ce led the family Ding team to Anxiangdun.
Here, he held a commendation meeting for the Jiading team.
The Jiading Team and the Rock Fort Army are two completely different systems, so naturally they cannot be recognized and rewarded together, and the standards for measuring merit between the Jiading and the ordinary soldiers are also different. For example, the soldiers of Fort Rock were basically counted by the number of beheadings, because their duties and work were much simpler - basically frontal fighting. And the family team is responsible for many more: sentinels, guards, expulsions, etc. Some of the sentinels don't have a head, but how much do people suffer when they eat and drink outside? Can it be creditless?
It's the credit of the family, and it has to be counted separately.
The merit system used by the Jiading team before was a three-level military merit system, but now it is obviously no longer applicable, and it has also been changed to the current thirty-sixth-class military merit title system in the Panshi Fort military. And the name, requirements, rewards, etc., are also the same.
As for the previous exploits, they are converted into them.
Take Dong Yongqing and Dong Zhongxian as examples, when these two people calculated their combat merits last time, they got third-class combat merits, and they were also the highest among all the family members. And now, their third-class combat exploits are folded into the thirty-sixth rank, and they have the title of Shangzao. Others are also converted in this way. In fact, this time to exterminate Hutou Mountain, in terms of merit, the Jiading team is far larger than the Panshibao army, if there is no Jiading team, I am afraid that the Panshibao army will lose a lot before reaching Hutou Mountain. When it comes to the ground, it can only be attacked hard, and it is good to lose two or three percent. is based on merit, and many people in the family team are also very large.
