Chapter 329: People die for wealth

"What!? Let us hand over 30% of all the seizures?" Liu Zeqing roared angrily.

"Vice General Liu. The governor is doing this for the sake of the whole army. I will say one more thing, students. This is what the governor wants you to hand over. This is not an order. However, if you don't hand it over, you have to think about it.

Your own future. You must know that our governor is the governor of Shandong!" After one of Zhu Dadian's staff said these words to Liu Zeqing, without waiting for Liu Zeqing's reply, he gave a salute and left gracefully.

.

After the Ming army completely controls the battlefield, it is impossible for the coalition forces to shrink into their own turtle shells. Isn't this the fact that there is no silver in this place? They are just shouting that they have found a treasure.

So the coalition forces gathered their remaining soldiers and civilians who had stayed in the Ming army's camp, took the grain and grass supplies left in the camp, and moved to the new camp on the edge of Huang County.

As soon as they arrived at the new camp, the coalition forces immediately handed over the corpses of the Ming soldiers they had collected to Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian, and asked them to return the corpses to the various Ming troops.

Originally, this kind of job of returning the corpses of friendly troops was a good job. The soldiers and civilians who delivered the corpses could always get some benefits, but now no soldier of the coalition army wants to do this kind of job. The main reason is that the coalition forces are against the Liaodong Army.

The corpses were too much. If they were sent back naked, what would be the benefit? Then the Liaodong Army would not be allowed to draw their swords after seeing them?

As expected, the generals of the Liaodong Army immediately pulled out their knives when they saw it, shouting that they would fight the coalition forces immediately. Their armor was taken away, and their weapons were small, but this was too insulting to the Liaodong Army.

How could this make the Liaodong Army, which boasted itself as the most powerful army of the Ming Dynasty, swallow such a sigh of relief?

Fortunately, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian were well prepared. As soon as they saw the bodies of the Liaodong Army sent by the coalition forces, they judged the Liaodong Army's reaction. However, today's victory was primarily due to the coalition forces, so Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian

Qi Qian simply arranged the two armies at opposite ends of the Ming army's camp, making it impossible for them to meet and conflict.

So Jin Guoqi took several generals of the Liaodong Army to Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian to cry out and insist that they uphold justice and give the Liaodong Army an explanation.

This request made Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian a little embarrassed. It was definitely impossible not to appease the Liaodong Army. What the coalition forces did was indeed very shameful. But there was no reason to punish the coalition forces.

After making great achievements, he must be punished for such a small mistake. Besides, the coalition forces can also deny that those corpses were stripped naked by the rebels. Although everyone knows this, it is originally

Something that has no proof.

At this time, Zhu Dadian thought of a compromise. It was not what he and Gao Qiqian said during the halftime break of today's Huangxian battle: 30% of all captured Ming army troops must be handed over to Zhu Dadian and Gao Qi.

Diving to allocate?

Therefore, the actions of the coalition forces are indeed worth three hundred taels of silver. Their strange actions on the battlefield made everyone in the Ming army, from the commander to the soldiers, know that the coalition forces must have obtained a generous capture.

.It’s just that no one cared about the capture of the coalition forces just now.

But now Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian were about to argue. Zhu Dadian sent one of his staff to the coalition forces. He explained Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian's decision in a consultative tone to Liu Zeqing, the chief general of the coalition forces.

But the tone was indeed one of negotiation. But would Liu Zeqing have the guts to refuse? Then would he, a Shandong military attaché, still be working under Zhu Dadian, the Shandong governor?

So after the staff member left, Liu Zeqing and the military attachés from the coalition forces immediately started yelling at each other. But after cursing for a while, the matter still needed to be resolved. This kind of swearing could not be eaten. So those military attaches, you said something, and I said something.

They discussed how to hide some of the captured money and property so that they could pay less. In the end, Liu Zeqing and the military attachés just didn't have the guts to refuse Zhu Dadian's "discussion."

But at this time, Liu Zeqing discovered that their second-in-command, Wu Shigong, was not there. So Liu Zeqing and the military attachés from the coalition forces immediately went to Wu Shigong, hoping that he would come up with a more appropriate method.

When they found Wu Shigong, Wu Shigong was summarizing the gains, losses and experiences of the battle with the officers of his Runing camp. Chi Ming was also doing his secretary's work, trying to record:

"Although our soldiers have beggars' armor, because of the shortage of iron materials and blacksmiths, they don't have iron helmets. They just wear felt hats. Therefore, the defense of the head is too poor. We must have Yang Goudan produce iron helmets as soon as possible in the future."

"We need to carefully observe the injured and fatal parts of each soldier and count them up. These fatal parts must be protected by large iron armor to reduce our casualty rate. The iron plates of this beggar's armor also need to be improved.

Already."

"In the future, all the chariots we produce will have wheels that can be easily loaded and unloaded. Today, the rebel chariots have fixed wheels, so they can easily be pushed away by us and widen the gap in the chariot formation, so in the future we will

When the Runing Battalion sets up a chariot formation, if possible, the wheels of the chariot must be removed to make it difficult for the enemy to push the chariot."

"Although our Runing Camp has copied a swarm of bees, today we discovered for the first time the power of concentrated use of rockets. However, such concentrated use is too expensive. The cost of a box of swarms of bees is eighty taels of silver. Today we are fifty taels of silver.

The boxes were launched together, and four thousand taels were shot out at once. That’s really ten thousand taels of gold when the cannon fired! We still need to summarize and come up with the conditions and tactics for using the rocket as soon as possible.”



However, seeing the arrival of Liu Zeqing and the others, Wu Shigong stopped the summary meeting and welcomed Liu Zeqing and the others into his big tent. When Liu Zeqing explained his purpose, Wu Shigong immediately couldn't help but got angry. He cursed: "You want us

When we were working hard, we didn’t even get any military pay or reward. We got some benefits, but we were all jealous. Tell them, we didn’t even get a shit.”

When Liu Zeqing heard Wu Shigong's scolding, his face showed embarrassment. After all, there were too many people around him, and it would not be good if Wu Shigong's scolding words reached Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian.

So Liu Zeqing advised: "I know Chang Jing is in a bad mood. In fact, I am in a bad mood too. Who wants to suffer? But there is no way. My arms can't twist my thighs. I'm thinking about it, bro. How much more?

Giving the two adults a little bit of land can be regarded as giving them some face."

"No! Not a penny!" Wu Shigong immediately rejected Liu Zeqing's proposal, "A good person will be bullied by others, and a good horse will be ridiculed by others. I don't care what Brother Hezhou does, but my Runing camp will not be turned over. Turn it over.

You can also ask the two adults to bring over the military salary and reward money from our Runing camp first."

Liu Zeqing was spat on by Wu Shigong. He thought helplessly in his heart: "Those military salaries and silver rewards are probably more than the silver handed over by your Runing camp. The governor and the military supervisors will not be like this either.

Be stupid."

But Liu Zeqing still made a last-ditch effort: "Let's calm down. After all, they are the coach now, and it is not good to disobey military orders. But our coalition brothers are also unambiguous. Let's go to the Chinese military tent together later, then

Turning over 30% is too much, so I want the two adults to reduce their share."

But at this time, Wu Shigong was already stubborn. He stiffened his neck and refused flatly: "There is no need to discuss it. Even half of our Runing camp will not be handed over. Since these silvers were obtained with our lives, then the two adults also

You should have heard this saying: Man perish for money, bird perish for food. Brother, what am I afraid of? I am a military attaché in Henan, not under your control in Shandong. Our Runing camp is a guest army."

Seeing that the words did not agree, Liu Zeqing could only leave angrily. However, Wu Shigong's last words were inspired by Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng, who were also Henan military attachés. They stayed and discussed whether to have a relationship with Wu Shigong.

Advancing and retreating together. Wu Shigong also agreed to their surrender. If there are more people, they can go beyond the law. Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng are also very satisfied with relying on Wu Shigong. If anything else happens? Wu Shigong will handle everything.

This tall guy is here to top it off.

In fact, Wu Shigong's refusal was not without brains, nor was it because his eyes were stuck in money and he couldn't pull it out. Wu Shigong's nature was not a person willing to violate official rules. This started when he first arrived at Guide Mansion and was continuously bullied by Li Bingbeidao.

From now on, you can see that if you can swallow your anger.

But now Wu Shigong was stimulated. He had just seen the young Wu Sangui who jumped out of nowhere; he also saw the combat performance of the powerful Guan Ning cavalry of the Ming Dynasty; he also saw the shocking scene of large-scale use of firearms.

Therefore, Wu Shigong now has an urgent mentality of not waiting for time, and is thinking about expanding the army, grabbing more financial resources, and training more troops. Therefore, he has an instinctive aversion to anything that hinders the realization of this goal.

Besides, Wu Shigong is not afraid of settling accounts after the fall. Zhu Dadian is the governor of Shandong, and Gao Qiqian is the supervisor of the Liaodong army and has no control over Henan. If he offends them here, he is not afraid of what they will do!

Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian would definitely not dare to take revenge from the Ming Dynasty. Although the various units of the coalition army came from all over the world, fighting together for a long time made them form a whole. The strength of the coalition forces now accounts for the total strength of the Ming army.

As long as Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian still want to annihilate Kong Youde's rebels, they will not get carried away and retaliate against the Runing camp openly.

At best, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian only made some small moves. And those small moves were nothing more than erasing some of the military merits of the Runing camp and preventing Wu Shigong from being promoted.

But needless to say, the military merits of the Runing camp are enough now. Even if Wu Shigong cannot be promoted, Wu Shigong doesn't care. Could it be that Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian promoted Wu Shigong to the rank of staff general, commander-in-chief, etc., so that Wu Shigong could become

After the death of the emperor, the Runing camp still only has so many soldiers and so much money, and it will still be defeated when it encounters Li Zicheng's million-strong army and the army of the Hou Jin Army.
