Chapter 256: The meat that reached the mouth did not spit out again

PS: 5,000 words chapter, presented. The weather is very hot, and the afternoon is hot and I can't write at all, and the manuscripts have been exhausted in the past few days, and the update is very tired. But seeing that there are still many brothers to support, Muzi is very happy. Here I would like to thank you for the ideals in the book, Ice Love Coffee, Kuzhu, Sunny Day Fire Phoenix, Sekisushi and the monthly ticket support of all book friends. I also want to thank Liu Ping 987 and Ao Shuyou for their rewards!

On the south island of Da Xie Island, there is a boiling of joy everywhere.

Li Jing ordered that each pig be slaughtered, two sheep will be rewarded, and two catties of wine will be given to each person, and the three armies will be rewarded. The people of the prisoner of war camps and labor camps who participated in the war were also rewarded with wine and meat.

It was dawn, and the island was full of celebratory Salmen troops. All the soldiers were in high spirits and enjoyed the joy of victory.

This battle is less against more, it is for the battle. With less strikes, more and a big victory, completely defeated more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of Da Xie Qi, and captured Da Xie Qi City, which was even more superior.

When you go into battle, the whole army is rewarded, and each person is paid five times. Go into battle, reward on reward, and each person will be given five times. This is only a collective military merit, and the soldiers' beheading, capturing the flag, and first-class merit are counted separately. Chop a grade, for one turn of military merit, two for two turns, four for three turns, eight for four turns, and sixteen for five turns. Correspondingly, if you can get three turns of military merit in a battle, it is twenty times, four turns and forty times, and five turns to kill sixteen enemies and above, you can get a huge reward of eighty times at a time.

In addition to the reward, if you get more than three turns, you can get the opportunity to be promoted to the next level.

Compared with the military exploits of killing the enemy, the captives correspondingly reduced a lot of bounties and military merits, and each captive only had the usual reward. It took the capture of five enemies to have one military achievement. If you want to rely on captives to obtain five military merits. At least eighty people were to be taken prisoner at one time.

This battle. The Shamen Town Army killed more than 1,700 soldiers of the Great Xie Dynasty, and more than 8,000 first-level rewards were issued. In addition, the rewards of the whole army received in the battle are as high as more than 100,000. Such a high reward made Zhang Hong is face ache, and even the prison army Zhang Chengye felt that the reward was too high. Although the rewards of the imperial court have always been similar to this amount, in fact, the forbidden army of the imperial court and the rewards of soldiers and horses in various feudal towns have long been greatly reduced. It is impossible for the soldiers to get the full reward, and then go through the layers of deductions of the officers below. The most lucrative reward is generally only about one to two percent of the current Shamen Town Army.

"In fact, the general only needs to reward about half of what he is now, and the soldiers are already grateful. In this way, you can save half of the bounty, and a big battle like this can save at least more than 100,000 bounties. Zhang Chengye also thought about Li Jing everywhere, when the enemy attacked, he felt bad, and volunteered to go to Dengzhou to move the rescue troops. Wang Zhong said that he wanted to run away, but Li Jing believed that Zhang Chengye was not a person who could escape. After Li Jing's persuasion, Zhang Chengye believed that Shamen Town could deal with the incoming enemy and stayed.

Regarding the reward, Li Jing has always had his own opinion. Fight as a soldier. That's the most dangerous. Especially at present, the world is turbulent and troubled times are coming. These soldiers are even more difficult to be in place. If you want the soldiers to work hard, but you are not willing to be paid and rewarded, sooner or later something will happen. In the late Tang Dynasty, especially after the end of the Tang Dynasty, there was a mutiny at every turn, and the most critical reason was that the treatment of soldiers was too poor and their lives could not be guaranteed.

The Chang'an Jingyuan Mutiny during the time of Tang Dezong was like this. In October of the fourth year of Jianzhong, when Dezong was about to transfer to the Huaixi front to quell the rebellion, the soldiers mutinied because they did not get the coveted reward, and the meals served were brown rice and vegetarian dishes, and the soldiers mutinied, which is the famous "Jingshi Change" in history. Emperor Dezong fled to Mukden in a hurry and became another emperor in the Tang Dynasty after Xuanzong and Daizong to go out of Beijing to avoid chaos.

The soldiers even rebelled against the emperor, and thousands of men and horses dared to mutiny in Chang'an City, forcing the emperor to flee.

There is not only one such thing, but it was repeated in the late Tang Dynasty and the late Tang Dynasty. Li Jing is now commanding the troops, and he absolutely does not want his own soldiers to become such a group of ruffians. If you want to change all this, the most important thing is to give the soldiers a sense of honor, as well as real and generous salaries and rewards.

Although it is the same as raising a clean bank, it can completely avoid official corruption, but it can greatly reduce the probability of corruption. Just like the officials of the Song Dynasty were treated very well, there were all kinds of professional fields, public fields, and various incomes, so the officials of the Song Dynasty were much more honest than the Ming Dynasty officials with the worst treatment. Li Jing didn't expect to use money to build an army exactly what he wanted, but at least it could prevent those cases of mutiny and money for money.

In each battle, 30% of the captured is taken out as a reward, which is already the standard that Li Jing has long set. According to the different results of each battle and the reward for the first-class military merits, if 30 percent of the captured is insufficient for supply, Li Jing himself has to take the money and grain in the treasury to replenish it. If less than 30 percent of the reward is given, the remainder is deposited in the treasury for the next use.

In this battle, Zhang Hong roughly counted that the money he took out to reward him was at least 100,000 yuan. However, this time Shamen Town captured tens of thousands of Great Xie soldiers, and captured all the more than 70 ships after Feng Zhang's most descent, and failed to capture the South Island and Great Xie City last time, this harvest was all counted, Li Jing believes that with Feng Zhang's many years of operation, all the materials, money and grain add up to at least five or six hundred thousand guan, or even as high as one million guan. The reward of 100,000 is within 30 percent.

In the original envoy's mansion of the Great Xie Cheng, Li Jing set up a celebration banquet.

Except for a few officers on duty in Shamen Town, more than ninety percent of the officers at or above the prefectural level have arrived and gathered together. Delicacies, delicacies from the mountains and seas, and a sea of wine are open to serve. The hall was lively and noisy, and the generals laughed loudly, so it was not lively.

Li Jing's mood was extremely happy, since the day he decided to come to Shamen Town, he thought about taking Da Xie Qi as his own territory. In troubled times, there is no false politeness. What's more, since he became Cui Yunqing's protégé, he has already become hostile to the Feng family. This relationship cannot be resolved, unless he abandons the Cui family and switches to the Feng family. However, he vetoed Cui Yanqing's woo at the beginning, and it is impossible to change his course in the future.

Either he dies or Feng Zhang dies, this is the end that was already doomed when he came.

Now, Feng Zhang is dead. Da Xie Yan is broken. He sat at the head of the house.

This battle is painful. Played beautifully. Feng Zhang and Pei You joined forces, and nearly 30,000 horses attacked. Li Jing organized himself with 8,000 soldiers and horses who were not trained enough, as well as thousands of prisoners of war, but instead fought a beautiful counterattack, and in one fell swoop put Feng Zhang's old thief into the net.

Nearly 3,000 soldiers from Da Xie and Duli were killed, and more than 10,000 were captured, while less than 300 were seriously wounded in Shamen Town, and more than half of them were killed and seriously wounded in the Minzhuang, prisoner of war camps, and labor camps. Such a result. is enough to make Li Jing proud.

The most honorable chief seat on Li Jing's left sat Song Xi, Li Jing's former boss. When he was in the Dengzhou Unity Camp, Song Xi was the tenth general of the Muping Battalion, and Li Jing was only a team leader at that time. Li Jing decided to take over the position of the town general of Shamen Township, and when he returned to Qingning Township, Song Xi also took office later, and on Li's mother's birthday, he also went to pay homage to his birthday, and fought back with Li Jing against the incoming bandits.

After Li Jing arrived in Shamen Town, Song Wen was promoted to the position of Assassin of Dengzhou. Song Xi, Song Wei's clansman and general, naturally made up for Song Wen's shortcomings, and served as the Marquis of Duyu, the 3,000 united soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion. Become the de facto controller of the Dengzhou Solidarity Army.

Song Wen saw that the beacon fire in Shamen Town was on fire, and when he learned that Feng Zhang would attack Shamen Town again, he immediately asked Song Xi to lead a thousand united soldiers in Dengzhou, as well as five hundred soldiers from Dengzhou Branch and five hundred soldiers from the Longshan Battalion, a total of 2,000 men and horses. Li Jing is now a general that Song Wei values very much, and the elite soldiers under him are very strong, and the territory of Shamen Town is also very important, Song Wen does not dare to lose.

The relationship between Song Xi and Li Jing is not bad, and Li Jing is also very polite to his former boss after taking office, and various holiday gifts are constantly and very valuable. To rescue Li Jing, of course he didn't have a word. What's more, when Song Wen came here, he once told him privately that Da Xie Qi was very important, and although Li Jing was Cui Yunqing's protégé, he was also very obedient to the festival commander. But after all, he is not the loyal command of these long-time marshals, and for the sake of the long run, it is best for them to occupy Da Xie Cheng. After all, it is better to be in your own hands than in someone else's hands.

"Rescuing Li Jing is the first, if you can defeat Feng Zhang, then you should immediately seize Da Xie Yan. As long as the matter is successful, I will ask the marshal for you to be promoted to the rank of Great Xie Soldier and Horse Envoy. Dengzhou Port is a treasure that spits out money, and now the festival commander is very short of money, and we have to find a way to control Dengzhou Port. To control Dengzhou Port, the first thing is to control Da Xie Yan, do you understand? ”

The soldiers and horses envoys and the united soldiers are both marquis, these are two official positions that are very different. Although they were all in charge, the united soldiers had neither territory nor soldiers. The Solidarity Soldiers are just temporary militias, recruited only half of the year, and the remaining half of the time they have to go home for spring and autumn harvest. What's more, although there are 3,000 Dengzhou unity soldiers, they are stationed in four counties.

But the soldiers and horses are different, especially the soldiers and horses of Da Xie Yan. Thinking about Feng Zhang, his number of soldiers is only 3,000, but in fact, he can raise a fleet of more than 100 ships and 20,000 horses, which shows the wealth of this territory. Especially when you are alone at sea, it is at ease.

After receiving the order, he was a little excited and couldn't control his excitement, and led his army to the Dengzhou Naval Division immediately, asking to send ships to transport troops to reinforce Shamen Town. Wang Jin's subordinates deliberately shirked and neglected, Song Xi directly ordered the man to be beaten, and led people straight into Wang Jin's mansion, a large group of soldiers and horses poured in, Wang Jin's face was pale at that time, thinking that Song Xi was going to start a full-scale war, and he was used to sacrifice the flag.

Waiting for Song Xi to explain his intentions, although Wang Jin was full of anger, in front of a large group of soldiers and horses, he could no longer shirk the excuse, so he had to dispatch warships and warships to transport Song Xi and others to Daxie. In his heart, he secretly hoped that the soldiers and horses of Fengzhang and Duli Town would be faster, capture Shamen Town as soon as possible, and kill Li Jing.

Song Xi rushed to reinforcements with all his heart, thinking that as long as he repelled the incoming enemy, he would immediately seize Da Xie Yan. It's just that what he didn't expect was that when he arrived, the war had already ended, and Da Xie Yan had actually changed the flag. The flag has already been torn off, and the flag of the Li character has been planted all over the South Island of Daxie.

When he went to the island, when he looked at the neatly arranged thousand-person phalanx on the dock of the South Island, the eight-foot-long lance was still stained with blood. And what shocked him even more was that he actually saw a cavalry of the same number of as many as a thousand people. Oh my God, when did a cavalry of thousands of people appear in Shamen Town? As soon as he saw these war horses, Song Xi, who had been fighting for many years, immediately recognized that these were all good Liaodong war horses, which were not inferior to the Hetao war horses and the Western Regions war horses. Look at the cavalry again. They straddled their horses neatly. On his hand is a long, curved knife out of the sheath.

It was an indescribable murderous aura. Song Xi understood that this was the kind of momentum that only soldiers who had really seen blood. Seeing that these cavalrymen actually straddled their horses and raised their swords out of their sheaths to greet them, Song Xi already had a premonition of a bad feeling. Li Jing discharged such a formation, it seems that the purpose is to deter.

Deter whom?

Feng Zhang and Feng Xun were both dead, and as soon as he came ashore, Li Jing asked people to bring the two heads to him and let him see them. The head of Feng Zhang was burned beyond recognition, but the head of Feng Xun was intact.

Feng Zhang's uncle and nephew died. The object of Li Jing's intimidation can only be himself.

Looking back at the cruising fleet of Salmon Town on the sea outside the dock, and in addition to the lance phalanx and cavalry phalanx, there were several soldier phalanxes on the dock. Some of the phalanxes were well-equipped, and there was a murderous aura rising and falling in the formation, and at first glance they were the elite soldiers of Shamen Town. Others, though they were dressed in all sorts of clothes, armed only with spears or bows and arrows, and many did not even have a helmet, their number of five thousand men was frightening.

There were seven thousand troops on the dock alone, plus the fleet at sea. This amount shocked Song Xi. He looked back at the two thousand soldiers he had brought, and the Longshan battalion and the Zhizhou soldiers were all sent by a group of old and weak. The Solidarity Soldiers are nothing more than a bunch of mud-legged men who haven't trained enough. Although they were armed with swords and wearing armor, they could stand on the dock and compare with Li Jing's subordinates, like sheep in front of the wolves.

From the dock to the banquet, Song Xi's face has always been a little bad, although he forced a smile in front of Li Jing, but his heart was full of sorrow. He already knew a little in his heart that Li Jing's actions were clearly because he didn't want to spit out the Da Xie Cheng that he had occupied. I was happy for a long time just now, but the position of this soldier and horse envoy had nothing to do with me, so I was happy.

"I, the soldiers of Shamen Town!"

"There are also the brothers of the unity battalion, the Longshan battalion, and the Zhizhou soldiers led by General Song who came from Dengzhou City!"

Li Jing raised his wine glass high, and the hall was quiet for a moment, only to hear Li Jing's slightly passionate voice echoing in the hall, "Feng Zhang is mad, and regards our repeated tolerance and concession to him as a good bully, and this time he even colluded with outsiders from Liaodong to attack our army. But this is nothing more than an egg hitting a stone, and no amount of intrigue is a joke in front of our brave soldiers in Shamen Town. “

Feng Zhang has repaid his guilt with his death, and Feng Xun has realized his mistake and committed suicide to atone for his crimes. At present, I, the town of Shamen, have completely defeated the invading enemy. However, I believe that this incident is only the culpability of Feng Zhang's uncle and nephew, and the soldiers below are just deceived by him. As the deputy envoy of Da Xie Yan, he has the responsibility and obligation to take on the current situation of Da Xie Yan after the defeat and death of the original envoy Feng Zhang and the deputy envoy Feng Xun's rebels. ”

The corners of Song Xi's eyes twitched when he listened below, and Li Jing's words were too high-sounding. But if you want to blame Feng Zhang, you can only blame this stupid person, shrewd I, but now he was forced by Li Jing to make a faint move, and now he not only gave his own life, but also gave the entire Da Xie Li to Li Jing completely.

Originally, Li Jing was given the post of deputy soldier and horse envoy of Xie Yan, just to facilitate him to control the islands of Montenegro and other islands, which could be regarded as a comfort to Li Jing. Who would have thought that now that Feng Zhanglian and outsiders attacked Shamen Town again and was defeated and killed, Li Jing now occupies Da Xie Yan, and by the way, he also made the name of this deputy soldier and horse envoy shine, and took over Da Xie Yan completely and justly.

Song Xi didn't even have a word to say, Li Jing is now the deputy soldier and horse envoy of Da Xie Yan, and as soon as Feng Zhangfeng Xun dies, he will be the highest officer.

"The rebellion of Uncle Feng Zhang's nephew has been suppressed, and this battle has brought out the military might of our Ziqing soldiers and horses, and this is a moment worth celebrating. Of course, this is also the credit of the soldiers of the three armies who sacrificed their lives to kill the enemy, and as we celebrate the victory, we should not forget the brothers who sacrificed their lives for the country, and I propose that the first glass of wine today be given to the fallen soldiers, may their souls rest in heaven. ”

After speaking, Li Jing slowly poured the wine on the ground, and the generals in the hall also followed the coach to spill the wine on the ground.

Then, Li Jing got up and walked in front of Song Xi, and said in a loud voice: "General Song Xi, the Marquis of Dengzhou, is the top of the army when the general first enlisted. This time, General Song Xi heard that there was a beacon smoke warning signal in Shamen Town, and immediately came to reinforce him, which made the general extremely excited. For this second glass of wine, I would like to toast General Song Xi and all the brothers who came to reinforce him. ”

Everyone came to Song Hope, under the eyes of everyone, Song Xi smiled bitterly, Li Jing said it so politely, what else could he do.

Picking up the wine glass in his hand, Song Xi chuckled and said, "Actually, Ben will be late to rescue, and I feel really guilty in my heart." One step too late, there was not even a shadow of a rebel, let alone reinforcements. I deserve this glass of wine, but I drank it on behalf of Song Envoy, although I was too late for rescue, but Song Envoy Jun was full of concern for General Li Jing and the brothers in Shamen Town. ”

Waiting for Song Xi to drink this glass of wine, Li Jing smiled and said, "No matter what, the brothers came to help, we can't treat everyone badly." Zhang Bingcao immediately sent someone to give each of the 2,000 brothers who came a reward of five times, and immediately sent pigs, sheep, wine and meat to thank them. ”

He turned to Megan and said, "General Megan, after the brothers have eaten and drunk enough, you will personally lead the ships of the Zhenhai camp to send the brothers back to Dengzhou." Pick some big boats, the big boats are stable and can avoid the wind and waves at sea. The brothers have worked hard to come, but they can't be wronged. After speaking, he turned his head and smiled at everyone in the hall and said, "Come, now let's drink three cups first!" ”

Song Xi opened his mouth, but in the end, he had no choice but to shut up. Li Jing first rewarded the soldiers who came to the aid with wine and meat, and then gave each of them a heavy reward of 5,000 yuan. and then asked people to send them back to Dengzhou, which was not to give them the slightest chance to get involved in Da Xie. But what can he do, in the current situation, even if he wants to fight, but the soldiers below have taken Li Jing's large bounty money, and they have been rewarded with wine and meat, and a few of them will be willing to leave with a dead face, not to mention, even if he stays, but look at the thousands of Shamen town troops on this Daxie Nan Island, what can he do if he stays.

Hey, with a sigh in his heart, Song Xi picked up the wine glass and drank it all. The wine entered his throat, but he did not taste it delicious at all, only the bitter taste of his stomach. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
