"Master Marquis, this Zhou Zhipeng is really brave. Not only did he take in the soldiers of the New Army, but he also raided the Governor's Mansion on the way back. All kinds of property totaled 10.7 million silver coins, and there were some that were hard to estimate.
All the antique calligraphy and paintings have been loaded and transported back, and they will probably arrive in Haicheng the day after tomorrow."
As soon as Gao Shaoyi entered the governor's office in the morning, he saw Liu Shan coming over with a telegram.
"Allocate one million silver coins to them from the storehouse as a temporary reward for them, especially those who came from the New Army. Each of them will be given a bonus of ten silver coins. The soldiers who died in the battle will be treated as prisoners of war.
Pensions will be provided according to military standards.”
Gao Shaoyi has always been very generous to his brothers.
But everything must have a regulation. Take this amount of money as an example. Zhou Zhipeng, as a feudal official outside the country, no matter how much money you confiscate, without the permission of the Marquis, all must be transported to
Only when the headquarters comes, I can transport it back to you later, but you must not keep it privately.
Although doing this back and forth wastes time, it is very necessary for Gao Shaoyi to control the entire suppressing army. If the warlords outside have money, it will not be easy to control them.
"Zhou Zhipeng's telegram also said that the combat effectiveness of the new army is really good. It will only take about two weeks at most. If we give them a little reorganization, they will not be much different from our regular soldiers in combat effectiveness. However, there are more than a thousand people who are not suitable for us.
According to your previous order, I paid them travel expenses and told them to go home."
Not all of the new army members can be used. If some fail the political review, they are likely to cause some trouble to the army, so we might as well let them go home first.
The new army of 12,000 people, in addition to the brothers who died on the battlefield, plus these more than 1,000 people, Gao Shaoyi has received a total of 8,000 people, which is not bad.
"How are the green soldiers on the Daliao Peninsula?"
In addition to the new army, the Governor also has more than 20,000 green soldiers.
"Master Hou, don't even think about those people. Zhou Zhipeng's telegram also said that they are basically rotten. Apart from bullying the common people, I'm afraid they don't know how to do anything, and everyone has two guns.
, what can you expect them to do?”
When Liu Shan mentioned two guns, Gao Shaoyi understood what was going on. Nowadays, Green Camp soldiers usually have two guns. One gun is used for fighting, and the other is a big smoking gun.
They are as skinny as a stick, how effective can they be on the battlefield?
"Then let Zhou Zhipeng sort it out and keep the useful ones to maintain local security. If they really have no use, just kick them out. If they are willing to quit smoking, we can give them a certain amount of money.
Help, but if you relapse, then never ignore it."
For these people, Gao Shaoyi still gives them a chance. Of course, how many they can seize depends on themselves. We are not a welfare institution here.
"Who's coming outside?"
As soon as Gao Shaoyi finished giving his order, he heard the sound of war horses neighing outside. It seemed that many people had arrived.
"Li Kunyi is back from the capital."
Liu Shan looked at the notepad next to him and looked at the current time. It should be Li Hongtang's youngest son Li Kunyi.
This guy has not been idle in the capital during this period of time. He has become Gao Shaoyi's spokesperson in the capital and has done very well in all aspects.
"Greetings to the Marquis... No, salute."
When Li Kun saw Gao Shaoyi, he still used the old salute of a thousand, but after looking at the military uniforms of the people around him, he remembered that the Suppression Army had completely abolished the old etiquette.
"Your boy is not staying well in the capital. Now your father has also gone to Jiangnan. Why did you come to me?"
After all, the capital is the core of the Daqian Empire, and it must have its own talent there. Li Hongtang is no longer in the capital, and Li Kunyi is Gao Shaoyi's eyes and ears.
"Master Marquis, it's true that I won't be staying in the capital. Eunuch Su is here. The emperor has notified you to return to the capital. Your wedding day is coming."
Li Kun said this one by one, and Gao Shaoyi remembered that the emperor had given Gao Shaoyi a marriage, the eldest grandson daughter of Prince Kang's palace.
The war started and I forgot about it, so I counted the days and it was almost over.
Eunuch Su must have an imperial edict in his hand, and Gao Shaoyi couldn't pretend to be a big clove of garlic here. He quickly led his men out to receive the edict. Now is not the time to rebel.
"The emperor's edict is to carry out the destiny..."
Sure enough, it was exactly what Li Kunyi said, to the effect that Gao Shaoyi should hurry up and return to Beijing to get married. Things in Haicheng won't be finished for a while, and the wedding date set earlier cannot be delayed.
"Master Marquis, please take a seat."
Although Gao Shaoyi allowed Eunuch Su to come in, Gao Shaoyi's status and influence in the country are completely different nowadays, and Eunuch Su does not dare to be in this position.
"Show Eunuch Su some tea."
After Gao Shaoyi made some concessions, he asked the people below to pour tea for Eunuch Su.
"Eunuch Su, we are all our own people, so I won't go around in circles when I say something. It's just trivial and disrespectful."
Gao Shaoyi waved his hand and the orderly next to him brought over a small box, which contained twenty large yellow croakers.
"Master Marquis, what are you doing? We are all our own people. I am half buried in the earth. I can't use the money. If Master Marquis wants to know anything, I will tell you everything."
Although Eunuch Su tried to evade it, his hand had already touched the box several times. Eunuchs like them like these yellow and white things the most.
"Right now, Haicheng is in a deadlock. The people from Dongdi have not reached an agreement with me yet. If I go back now, I'm afraid the situation in Haicheng will change. I wonder if it can be delayed for a few days?"
Gao Shaoyi said tentatively, firstly, the current situation is indeed a bit critical, and secondly, there are still a lot of troubles waiting for after returning to Beijing. Do you think the marriage can be completed after the marriage is completed?
Princess Wen Ning in the palace alone is probably enough for Gao Shaoyi to drink a pot.
After all, there is a physical relationship between the two of them. If they get married to the eldest granddaughter of Prince Kang’s palace, with Princess Wen Ning’s temper, who knows what will happen next!
"Master Marquis, I'm afraid this matter is very difficult. You have outstanding military exploits now. If you don't even obey the imperial edict, I don't know how many people in the court will attack you. In addition, the emperor also wants to use this edict to test you. If You’re not going back…”??
