Although Mr. Shen said it with a smile, because he has great authority in coastal areas, no one dared to speak at this moment, and the hall was silent.
Shen Yi did not continue talking, but coughed, glanced at everyone, and said: "At the end of last year, I left the southeast and returned to Jiankang to serve. Now I have returned to the coastal capital. You may
Curious about why I came back and what I did when I came back."
At this point, Shen Yi did not continue to speak, but glanced at Ling Su next to him. General Ling immediately stood up, coughed, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, my coastal commander has been ordered to go north to guard the Huaihe defense line.
In one paragraph, Duke Shen is the imperial governor specially appointed by the imperial court."
Ling Su paused and said slowly: "From now on, everyone in the Coastal Division must obey Duke Shen's orders, just like they did in the southeast!"
Everyone agreed in unison.
After Ling Su finished speaking, Shen Yi waved for him to sit down, and then Mr. Shen took a sip of tea and continued: "Most of you here are from the anti-Japanese army, or... almost all of them are anti-Japanese soldiers.
Origin."
The anti-Japanese army refers to the earliest 5,000 people in the coastal capital.
After the Anti-Japanese Army was reorganized into the Coastal Capital Division, the number of personnel increased fivefold. However, the leadership was basically still the same people as the original Anti-Japanese Army. Not to mention these thousands of households, even the following hundred households, there were nine out of a hundred.
Nineteen of them were from the original anti-Japanese army.
This is qualifications.
The people below are even more divided. Some of the Linhai Guards, or those who followed Shen Yi to fight Japanese pirates in Linhai, are the oldest group of people in the anti-Japanese army. They look at people with their nostrils and are arrogant.
Very.
"Everyone has fought against Japanese pirates."
Mr. Shen put down his tea cup and said slowly, "But I can explain it to you here."
"Fighting the whole people is very different from fighting the Japanese pirates."
Mr. Shen's voice was low: "The Japanese pirates are, in the final analysis, a group of bandits, a group of bandits that cannot be organized and cannot form an army!"
"But Northern Qi is different. People in Northern Qi are all trained soldiers."
"When dealing with Qi people, you must not have any intention of underestimating the enemy, let alone act recklessly based on your passion."
Speaking of this, Shen Yi glanced at Xue Wei.
Xue Wei's face turned red, he lowered his head and stopped talking.
When he fights, sometimes he gets the upper hand and likes to rush to the front.
He also knew very well that Shen Yi was talking about him.
"Therefore, our military must strictly enforce military discipline from now on."
"We must follow the rules and prohibitions."
Shen Yi looked serious and said: "If anyone disobeys the command and makes a big mistake, he will be punished as a serious crime of treason!"
After saying these unpleasant words, Mr. Shen exhaled with a smile on his face: "However, fighting Beiqi this time is not completely without benefits."
He looked at everyone and said calmly: "Half of the thousands of households here are Dai Qianhu, because you are not qualified enough."
Having said this, Shen Yi looked at Liu Mingyuan and the other three commanders.
Everyone present, because they have been in the army for too short a time, their positions are far higher than their respective ranks. It can be said that they are small soldiers riding big horses, especially these three people. They are acting as commanders as commanders!
This is no longer a small soldier riding a big horse, this is a dog riding Lu Bu.
Mr. Shen narrowed his eyes and said, "If you do a good job, all of you here will be able to rise to a level commensurate with your position."
"Besides, everyone knows it."
Mr. Shen stood up and said slowly: "Our Coastal Division is not like other armies. Other armies are like carrots and pits. If you want to climb up, you have to squeeze out the old carrot, but our Coastal Division has everything."
not much."
Shen Yi said in a deep voice: "There are just too many pitfalls!"
"As long as you have the skills, there will be commanding officers, commanding colleagues, and even commanding envoys in Qianhu!"
"There are still vacancies in the Dusi position above the commander, waiting for you to take action!"
When the Dusi official position was mentioned, Ling Su raised his head slightly and glanced at Shen Yi, then lowered his head again.
I have to say that Shen Yi's words are quite inspiring.
Because what he said is true.
As a young army, the Coast Guard Division does have a lot of opportunities, which gives everyone here a lot of room for improvement.
After saying some inspiring words, Shen Yi touched his chin and continued: "There is also the issue of reward money."
"As long as I, Shen, lead you, it will be the same as before. Before, I was a Japanese pirate with five taels of silver."
Shen Yi said in a deep voice: "This time, if you kill a Qi man, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"
"This was said by someone Shen. Brothers all know that I, Shen Qi, will do whatever I say. Even if the Ministry of Household Affairs does not give you this money in the future, I, Shen Qi, will pay it out of my own pocket.
!”
Not everyone has the confidence to say this.
In other words, the generals in the army, even a general like Zhao Lu, did not have the confidence to say such things because he did not have that much cash.
But Shen Yi does.
To be precise, Xu Fu was rich.
Even if Xu Fu's previous income is put aside, the money he earns from selling transparent glass in Jiankang these days is enough to pay rewards to the coastal capitals.
Mr. Shen paused and continued: "Furthermore, for every Qi person killed, another six taels of silver will be given to the generals of the Xiaoqi, General Banner, Hundred Households, and Thousand Households."
Having said this, Shen Yi looked at everyone present and said calmly: "Split equally."
"Do you have any opinions?"
For Qianhu, this naturally has no objection. After all, they have a thousand people under their command. Even if they only receive one or two or eight coins, it adds up to a considerable income.
Besides, when they reach the level of Qianhu, the rewards are no longer very important to them. For them, military merit is more important.
Shen Yi paused, rubbed his brows, and continued: "This is a tentative reward. If you fight well later, I will consider adding more rewards."
These are all real benefits, and they will naturally increase the real combat effectiveness.
In fact, not only Shen Yi, but other armies also give rewards on a per-capita basis. However, the money they give is usually more to officers and less to ordinary soldiers. The total number is not much in the first place, and with layer upon layer of exploitation, finally...
I don't have much left on my hands.
However, the money given by Shen Yi was large, and the most taboo thing in the coastal capital divisions since the formation of the army was pocketing reward money, so Shen Yi set strict rules.
It's hard to say in the future, but at least now, no one dares to break this rule, and the money can actually be distributed to the lower-level soldiers.
After hearing what Shen Yi said, everyone in the family stood up and clasped their fists at Shen Yi.
"Thank you Mr. Shen!"
Shen Yi waved his hand and said, "There is no need to thank me. I still say what I said. You all work together and fight a good war together. To me, it is the biggest thank you."
"Now, let's talk about personnel issues."
Shen Yi looked calm and looked up at Ling Su and Xue Wei.
Both of them felt their hearts skip a beat.
Mr. Shen looked calm and said slowly: "Our Coastal Division should naturally be headed by Du Shuai, but Du Shuai is still in Fuzhou, so we need to choose someone to take charge of daily military affairs to avoid chaos."
Shen Yi paused and continued: "Fortunately, it is not difficult to choose. There are currently only two commanders in the capital, so General Ling Suling, the commander of the Fuzhou Guard, and General Xue Wei, the commander of the Guangzhou Guard.
As deputy generals, the two of them are responsible for the daily affairs of the army."
Hearing this, Ling Su breathed a sigh of relief, and with more than twenty people, they all clasped their fists and saluted Shen Yi, and said, "Subordinates, please follow the order!"
Shen Yi nodded, glanced at everyone, and finally focused on Xue Wei.
pity…
Shen Yi also felt a little helpless.
It is a pity that Xue Wei did not fight well in Fuzhou last year, otherwise he would have put Xue Wei in the position of general now.
Although no matter who is the commander-in-chief, he, the imperial envoy and governor, can take charge of military affairs, but after all, this involves the issue of future credit distribution.
The deputy general still suffered a loss.
But there is nothing we can do about it. Why did Xue Wei fail to live up to expectations last year and suffered a loss when he suppressed the Japanese in Fuzhou?
Forcibly appointing him as a general will make it difficult to convince the public.
"Okay, no more nonsense. You all go back and convey my words to the generals and soldiers below."
Having said this, Mr. Shen smiled and said, "In the next two days, I will ask people to go to Songjiang Mansion to buy some pigs, cattle and sheep to beat the teeth of the brothers."
Ling Su led everyone and once again bowed and clasped his fists.
