Chapter 570: Earned
After a grand celebration, the whole Xiangping was filled with a joyful atmosphere. Although ordinary people did not participate in specific wars, as Pingzhou people, especially Xiangping people, many soldiers were their direct blood relatives.
According to the usual practice, every time they return from a battle, a large number of meritorious soldiers will be promoted to become wealthy, and even if they are unfortunately killed in battle, they have a chance to reincarnate in the Yanhuang Temple to protect the heroic spirit and continue to defend Xiangping.
In fact, as speculated, the common soldiers began to rest after the pleasure while waiting for the reward to be issued, while the senior generals of the army began to sort out the gains and shortcomings of the war.
"My lord, this great battle lasted sixty-one days, starting from the conquest of Goguryeo by the Three Route Army and ending with the signing of an armistice agreement between Lee Korea and us. During the war, our army dispatched a total of 2.7 million troops, and after the end of the war, 440,000 troops were lost. Among them, more than 40,000 generals at all levels were killed in battle, and 2,872 generals of the third rate and above were killed. Zhang Qing, the military commander with the highest official rank who died in battle, was a first-class military general at the pinnacle of military rank.
In addition, we consumed 12,360,000 stone of grain, 15,000,000 arrows, 160,000 large crossbow arrows, and 34,000 bursting torch shells. 860,000 pairs of armor were damaged, 720,000 knives, guns, swords, halberds and other weapons of various kinds, 51 bursting torch stone carts, and 720 heavy crossbows that broke the city. 110,000 horses of various types, 21,400 carts, 40,000 pills for driving away evil spirits and healing wounds, and 560,000 pairs of powders for stopping bleeding, marching, and dissolving stasis........."
Listening to Deng Yan's expressionless reading of the list of various consumables, Shang Ji dared to feel his scalp tingle.
Although no specific data on the loss of money has been given, it can be guessed from the astronomical figures of this item alone that it will definitely be a huge number that makes ordinary people despair.
"Hongzhu, let's just talk about the final result!"
Interrupting Deng Yan with a wave of his hand, Shang Ji said directly.
Glancing at Shang Ji, Deng Yan did not hesitate, and said directly: "According to our statistics, the materials are counted as money, and all kinds of materials are calculated according to the price of my Pingzhou, and we consume 98.6 million gold in this battle!" ”
"Whew!" After listening to the last number, Shang Ji let out a long breath, fortunately, it was okay, there was no loss in the end, or it was quite a lot of money!
As if knowing what Shang Ji was thinking, Deng Yan said coldly: "Lord, as a driver in Pingzhou, I must remind you." Under normal circumstances, Pingzhou's annual tax is less than 150 million, and with Pingzhou's own strength, this kind of war is enough to greatly damage Pingzhou's vitality. ”
"In addition, according to our statistics, Goguryeo, which was the main battlefield, was almost destroyed because of the direct economic losses caused by the war of more than 500 million gold. Therefore, no matter what the situation is in the future, the war must not start in Pingzhou! ”
"I understand, I can guarantee that no enemy army will want to engage the Pingzhou army within the scope of Pingzhou!"
Fighting on your own turf, even if you win, you will be the losing side in the end.
Taking the Battle of Goguryeo as an example, suppose that in the end, due to the pressure of North Korea, the Shang Ji directly withdrew their troops and withdrew from the entire territory of Goguryeo. The loss of Pyeongju will be smaller, and the cumulative consumption may be less than 50 million gold, but Goguryeo's loss is 500 million gold, which is ten times that of the Pyeongju army!
If Pyeongju and Goguryeo were evenly matched mortal enemies, this kind of war would have been fought twice, and Goguryeo would have almost been abolished.
The destructive power of war is so amazing that he can wipe out the wealth accumulated over years, decades, or even hundreds of years in just a few days!
Goguryeo lasted more than 200 years from the founding of the Jumeng state to its extermination by the Shang Dynasty. After countless ups and downs, it was not easy to save up three giant cities.
In the end, if it weren't for the peace between North Korea and Pyeongju, the city would definitely be in ruins!
"Hongzhu, let's talk about the final harvest!"
After saying the payment, the rest was the harvest time, and everyone suddenly stretched their ears and waited for Deng Yan to read out the harvest.
Deng Yan immediately smiled when he heard this, and the oppressive atmosphere in the room immediately dissipated, only to see him take out another document, slowly unfold it, and read with a smile: "In this battle, my Pingzhou army has gained a lot!" ”
"1.9 million enemies were killed and 3.2 million were captured. 2.6 million sets of weapons and armor of various types and tens of thousands of high-grade equipment were confiscated. Cherish 70,000 pieces of medicinal materials and materials. 383 pieces of strange objects and special drawings. 28,000,000,000 gold were seized, and 46 cities were occupied. ”
"It should be pointed out that in the Goguryeo War, in the early stage of the war, in order to win the support of the Goguryeo tribes, we adopted a strategy of pacifying and wooing the tribes who did not participate in the resistance, and they relied on their familiarity with the environment to absorb a large amount of loot that should have belonged to us during the war. The total value of this part of the property should not be less than 100 million gold! ”
"Hmph, General Ge Zhen will recover this debt for us, and it will be collected with interest!" Shang Ji sneered, and in his heart, he had already sentenced those Goguryeo tribes to death!
Deng Yan nodded, no longer dwelling on this issue, and continued: "In addition, according to our armistice agreement with Lee's North Korea, the North Korean side still needs to pay us 150 million in war compensation, and 100 million, 50 million has been paid so far. Another 7.5 million households will be relocated to Pingzhou in the next six months. ”
"Finally, we need to commend General Ling Cao and all the officers and men of the Navy Division individually!"
Ling Cao immediately straightened his chest when he heard this, and looked ahead without squinting, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, if it wasn't for the inappropriate occasion, he would probably laugh out loud.
"Because of the hard work and contribution of General Ling Cao and the sailors, our army has gained an additional 124 million gold, 30,000 pieces of various rare items, 1,600 village building orders, 16 pieces of the heart of the city, more than 19,000 pieces of various drawings, and a population of 5.61 million!"
"The soldiers of this war are indispensable, in accordance with the original plan to reward at the same time, the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division each issued an additional three months of military salary, separately rewarded General Ling Cao with 100,000 gold, two nine oxen and two tiger pills, 100 catties of spiritual rice, and rewarded General Gan Ning with 50,000 gold, one nine ox and two tiger pills, and seventy catties of spiritual rice. The chartered sailor will expand two additional Yulang-class building ships, five ordinary building ships, and other warships as appropriate! ”
Shang Ji took the opportunity to get up and said loudly.
"The last general thanked the lord, and died to repay the lord's grace!"
Gan Ning and Ling Cao got up at the same time, thanking them a little excitedly.
The generals next to them also looked at the two of them with envy, 100,000 gold and 50,000 gold are nothing to a force, but for individuals, even for top generals, it is a rich reward.
The Nine Bulls and Two Tigers Pill is a rare divine pill, although everyone here doesn't need it, but who doesn't have a few relatives and friends! Just because you don't want it doesn't mean that your relatives don't need it. For example, Huang Zhong is currently in urgent need of helping Huang Xu get a Nine Bulls and Two Tigers Pill to break through to a super-first-class general.
As for the spiritual rice, it is a symbol of status, and ordinary princes are reluctant to eat more.
"Pass on my order, the sailor Lu Yong performed very well in this battle, and he would have been very relieved. First, the sailor Lu Yong was expanded to 100,000 people, and Gan Ning's Jinfan army was expanded to 30,000 people, which was still led by Gan Ning. Gan Ning was under the command of Lu Yong, the deputy admiral of the water division, and concurrently the water division. Hope that the king will guard against arrogance and rashness, and he will live up to the hopes of the general! ”
"The last will smear the liver and brain on the ground to repay the lord Hongen!" Gan Ning was overjoyed and hurriedly got up to worship.
"Xingba, sincere cooperation with JCDecaux, I hope the sailor can bring me greater surprises!"
Gan Ning's face flushed, and his voice was slightly lowered and replied: "The teachings of the Lord will be remembered in the end!" ”
"In addition to the water division, many soldiers such as Captain Xi Zhicai, Soldier Cao Liu Yi, Captain Xu Huang, Captain Zhang He, Captain Tiger Tai Shici, Captain Yusheng Huang Zhong and many other soldiers have made meritorious contributions, and I also ask the lord to reward them as appropriate." Seeing that Shang Ji was finished, Deng Yan continued.
"In addition, in this war, our army popularized the use of the meritorious record method for the first time, according to the record, the list of meritorious soldiers with more than 1,000 points is here, and the lord is also invited to look at it."
This is one of the great benefits of restoring the meritorious service, there is no need to worry about the good talent under his command being buried, just look at the amount of merit points obtained, you can get a rough idea. There is no such thing as misappropriation of credit by fellow officials.
Do you think that you have no talent, take out the meritorious service and look at it, a big war has not reaped a thousand meritorious points, which talent are you pregnant? Let's play in the mud!
After accepting the list of meritorious deeds, Shang Ji planned to go back and study it carefully to see if there were any historical figures he was familiar with.
"Hongzhu, remember to ensure the abundance of exchange materials, and ensure that meritorious soldiers can exchange meritorious points for items that they are satisfied with."
At the end, Shang Ji also made a special admonition.
In the past, the rewards of meritorious soldiers in the army were directly awarded to a single unit, and then the troops were fine-tuned, or as was the case with the previous awards for sailors, directly rewarded by the whole army.
In these two aspects, the former will inevitably have omissions and injustices, while the latter is suspected of eating a big pot of rice. After the merit point is restructured, it is equivalent to each soldier having the authority of the original player.
You can directly rely on merit points to exchange what you want in the barracks merit office according to your own wishes. Money, official positions, curiosities, equipment, exercises, elixirs, mounts, and so on.
Of course, in order to avoid divisions within the army or warlord tendencies, the exchange option for independent military commanders was abolished, and merit points could not be exchanged for subordinate soldiers. Shang Ji directly blocked the road he had walked.
Every time you kill an enemy, you will get a reward, and you don't have to worry about your credit being plundered. The morale of the sergeants of the Pingzhou Army immediately rose a lot.
And the only bad thing is that the exchange office must be fully stocked with supplies, >>

Otherwise, it will be a disaster that will affect the whole army!
"Don't worry, my lord, we have been prepared for this. According to the report of Meritorious Service Cao Zhangxin, a total of 46 million merit points were generated during the war, including the part obtained by players), and we made material reserves according to the standard of 50 million merit points. Ordinary soldiers may only have ten merit points or even less, and they can't afford to exchange them for high-level items, so they are likely to exchange them directly for money, while Pingzhou is currently very financially abundant and can support the merit department at any time! ”
"Well, it's good, I'm still very relieved to do things!"
Shang Ji nodded, and silently calculated for a while in his heart, deducting the army's consumption, merit exchange, and additional rewards, this war is currently a net profit of 120 million gold! It does not include the possible harvest of the follow-up Gezhen in Goguryeo.
Of course, this calculation method is very irresponsible, after all, Goguryeo's more than 40 cities, tens of millions of people, thousands of miles of land, etc., cannot make a specific valuation.
Not to mention the profit of 120 million gold, even if the debt is 120 million gold, it is worth it to win Goguryeo!
All in all, the war was a big deal!
