Chapter 72 Behind the Reward
In the patrol camp located in the east of Anshan County, more than 600 prisoners of patrol camp, driven by more than a hundred brothers, walked out of the barracks in confusion and concentrated in the training ground.
Soon, more than 600 prisoners stood in a large area in the training ground.
At the same time, the remaining 300 soldiers in Yangjiazhai also gathered at the training ground one after another.
Just as everyone on the training ground was covered with doubts, Yang Xingguo and county magistrate Liang Cheng suddenly appeared at the gate of the military camp.
A bandit leader, a sixth-rank county magistrate appointed by the imperial court... two people who should not interact with each other for life and death were actually walking side by side at this moment, and they were still talking and laughing...
Looking at the scene in front of me that completely subverted everyone's understanding, the confusion expression that had already enveloped everyone's faces became even more confused at this moment...
Before everyone could react from the doubts in front of them, another puzzled scene appeared in everyone's field of vision.
Seven or eight Yangjiazhai guards and platoons, carrying four large boxes, followed closely behind Yang Xingguo and Liangchen, approached the military camp, and placed the four large boxes in front of Yangjiazhai and the patrol camp prisoners.
As thousands of eyes focused on Yang Xingguo and Liang Cheng, Yang Xingguo stood up and spoke...
"Brothers from Yangjiazhai... Now, I want to tell you all good news... From now on, we will no longer be bandits..."
"I decided to take everyone to accept the court's envoy and become a troupe for protecting the country and the people. As for me, I will become the seventh-rank troupe appointed by the court in the near future. And my brothers will always ask everyone to be a bandit that everyone looks down upon and become a troupe for me! Continue to serve as a soldier, protecting the country and the people, and fight against the Russians..."
This news can definitely be regarded as an unprecedented surprise for the people in Yangjiazhai.
As soon as Yang Xingguo finished speaking, hundreds of soldiers from Yangjiazhai became excited.
What's more, he had already raised his rifle and began to cheer loudly.
Standing next to Yangjiazhai, the unarmed former patrol battalion soldiers looked at the Yangjiazhai brothers who were instantly infuriated, and everyone showed an expression of disbelief on their faces.
A few hours ago, he was still a great enemy of life and death, but in a blink of an eye he became a colleague.
If the county magistrate Liang Cheng was not standing beside Yang Xingguo, the first reaction of hundreds of soldiers in the patrol battalion was that Yang Xingguo was in the frame to deceive everyone.
As the cheers from Yangjiazhai slowly stopped, the county magistrate Liang Cheng stood up very promptly. Using his identity as a county magistrate, he proved that everything Yang Xingguo said just now was true.
It was not until this moment that more than a thousand people in the patrol camp station completely believed in the fact that Yangjiazhai was recruited by the imperial court.
For hundreds of soldiers in Yangjiazhai, although they had just changed their identities, Yang Xingguo, who stood in front of everyone, could clearly feel that after his identity changed from a bandit to a group training, everyone's standing posture became more confident.
At this time, Yang Xingguo, as long as he adds a fire to everyone, his morale will become higher. Not only that, these brothers will become more loyal to him.
So, Yang Xingguo, with a smile on his face, walked directly to the big box of four and opened two of them.
Under the sunlight, the lid of the box was opened, and a silver light shot out of the box, which made everyone unable to open their eyes...
"Silver, the box is filled with silver, and it is full of silver ingots of ten taels and one ingot..." Looking at the two boxes of silver in front of him, everyone in the training ground was stunned.
And at this moment, Yang Xingguo's voice once again reached everyone's ears...
"During the battle, I promised all my brothers... As long as the battle is over, each brother will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver... Now, we have got rid of the identity of bandits and become a team trainer. Then I will take this opportunity to surprise everyone..."
"Did you see these two boxes of silver? These silver are the rewards I fulfilled my promise and gave to you..."
"A brother has twenty taels of silver, that is, two ingots of silver ingots, in a row, come and collect it now..."
"As for those brothers who died in battle, the rewards will be given as well, each of which will be twenty taels. When we return to Yangjia Village, we will deliver them to their families along with their 100 taels of silver, and we will never give them a little less than one tael of silver..."
"Now I order... one row after another, come up and get the silver immediately..."
Because the silver is a silver ingot of ten taels per ingot, the entire reward process did not last long, and the remaining 400 brothers in Yangjia Village received the silver.
Twenty taels of silver, for many brothers in Yangjiazhai, they have never seen it before.
Therefore, when many people get the silver, they hide two ingots of silver like treasures. Then, they think with a smile on their faces, when will they send the two ingots of silver home, renovate the house, buy a few sets of clothes for their families, and buy some livestock...
After seeing the performance of the brothers in Yangjiazhai, Yang Xingguo quickly turned his attention to more than 600 soldiers of the patrol battalion next to him.
Faced with the reward of twenty taels of silver for one person in Yangjiazhai, more than 600 soldiers in the patrol camp, almost everyone's face was replaced by desire and heat. While watching the brothers in Yangjiazhai receive silver and hide silver, they stood there and swallowed their saliva.
This situation is exactly what Yang Xingguo wants to see.
Just as everyone was still immersed in the shock just now, Yang Xingguo suddenly spoke.
"Brothers of the patrol battalion... I want to ask everyone, twenty taels of silver, do you want it..."
As soon as Yang Xingguo said the words, the eyes of more than 600 people in the patrol camp were like hungry wolves who found prey, staring at Yang Xingguo tightly, waiting for Yang Xingguo's following.
Without asking everyone to wait too long, Yang Xingguo continued to speak: "I have a chance here. As long as everyone can grasp it, one person can get twenty taels of silver..."
"Now, my Yangjiazhai has accepted the court's envoy and become a group training... As long as we join our group training, I promise to pay you a settlement fee of twenty taels of silver immediately... Not only that, every brother can get two taels of silver every month."
