"Sorry, General Zhang, I'm afraid you may have misunderstood."
Seeing this scene, His Highness King Hanyang raised his chin slightly and said in surprise:
"I just want to meet Zeng Ying, the former fake general, and I have no intention of surrendering."
Li Dingguo stood with his head held high, his face suddenly turned red.
Wishful thinking? Shame!!!
At this moment, he wanted to find a pillar and hit him to death.
Ha ha ha ha--
All the generals laughed, but Li Jingwu was the most exaggerated. He raised his head and laughed: "I really don't know how many pounds or taels you have. Are you worthy of His Highness personally persuading you to surrender?"
"Do you still think this is the Three Kingdoms mentioned by the storyteller?"
Li Dingguo turned his head and stared at the person, looking straight at him, as if he wanted to write down the flesh and bones.
Li Jingwu was startled, quickly raised his chest, and looked at him without fear.
"We are fellow villagers, and I won't bully you. Let's keep you in prison for now. Soon, your sworn brothers, sworn brothers, and sworn fathers will come to see you."
Zhu Yixi waved her hand, and Li Dingguo was brought down like dust.
He deeply understood that this famous general in history would never give in until Zhang Xianzhong died.
After all, he was a twenty-four-year-old young man who valued love and justice. According to history, after Zhang Xianzhong was killed, he vowed to fight to the death against the Qing Dynasty before switching to Nanming.
The hatred of the family and the country came together, and his will to resist was so firm.
It still needs to be trained well.
Facing the generals, Zhu Yixi said with a calm face:
"After a small victory, you start competing for credit. Are you proud and complacent? Are you arrogant?"
No one could refute this.
Li Jizu relied on his close relationship and hesitated again and again. After being pushed by everyone, he had to bite the bullet and said:
"Your Highness, we don't care about the third-class merit ranking, but my brothers are aggrieved. How can they count on merit points?"
All the generals nodded in agreement.
Zhao Guangyuan and Hui Dengxiang, seeing the public outrage, could only bow their heads and be petty. After all, they were really defeated.
There is still self-knowledge.
Zhu Yixi said coldly: "Don't use your subordinates as a cover. I don't understand your thoughts?"
Li Jizu touched his head with a naive smile: "His Highness has seen thousands of miles, and I can't hide anything from you."
Zhu Yixi was amused by this shameless face.
For a time, the atmosphere relaxed a lot.
Merit points are the product of military merit.
To win a battle, one to five points are the basic points.
It is divided into three levels: first, second and last.
During the war, Zhu Yixi made it clear that victory would be based on three points.
But, this only starts at three points.
The army that achieves the first victory is the top five points.
The secondary merit is four points, and the final merit is three points.
Ordinary soldiers are naturally reluctant to part with these acres of land, and similarly, generals are reluctant to part with them.
Because according to the merit point regulations of the Qin Army, the merit points of an ordinary general after a victory are one centimeter, or one percent, of the total number of soldiers under his command.
For example, if a captain commands a hundred people, after defeating him, he can get one additional merit point.
Like Li Jizu, if he was at the bottom of his game, he could only get the merit points equivalent to fifty people, that is, one hundred and fifty points.
And if it's a secondary effort, it's two hundred points.
The difference of fifty points is one hundred acres of land!
Who can bear this?
No one in the second battalion of Minghui and Mingyuan was convinced of their near defeat.
But that's not how the accounts are calculated.
"If we all follow your wishes and calculate merit rankings based on head count, how can this be fair?"
Zhu Yixi directly refuted this idea and said seriously: "Contribution, merit, merit first, but killing the enemy is merit, covering is also merit, and holding the enemy back is also merit. How can we easily conclude based on heads?"
"Although the Second Battalion of Minghui and Mingyuan were defeated, they held back the enemy's cavalry, second only to the heavy infantry. The Second Battalion of Cavalry took second place, which is extremely appropriate."
"So, in future battles, as long as you obey orders and do your best, it will be helpful to victory, and you will have meritorious deeds."
Hui Dengxiang and Zhao Guangyuan were beside them, and their eyes were instantly moved. This is true knowledge and insight, as well as good words!
"Your Highness, I am ashamed to accept this!" The two of them knelt down on one knee, lowered their heads and said in shame.
"Get up, you deserve this."
Zhu Yixi helped the two of them up and said in a deep voice: "I have always been fair and just."
Many people secretly thought that this policy was, in a sense, fairer to them.
This is completely opposite to the previous one.
Whether you are in the Ming Army or the Chu Army, you will be rewarded if you win and punished if you lose, regardless of whether you try your best or not.
Sometimes, being in the rear and covering is often a thankless job, and you are assigned to do it by force. Everyone is keen on being a forward who makes meritorious deeds.
"Your Highness is wise!"
The arrogant Liu Tingjie figured this out immediately and hurriedly raised his hands in admiration.
"Long live your highness, your majesty is wise and powerful -"
The others who were slow to react couldn't wait to praise him.
"Long live or something like that, please stop shouting nonsense."
Zhu Yixi finally smiled.
The Qin, Tang, and Ming Dynasties all had a military merit system, and merit was calculated based on the head.
The Ming Dynasty was even more detailed and divided into Tatars, Japanese pirates, and bandits. The levels were different, and the rewards were naturally different.
It is too simple and crude, and it is easy to have the bad habit of killing the enemy and taking credit.
His modified version is centered on the group. Whoever is obedient and contributes more will have merit.
In a sense, this is an opportunity to change the arrogant and powerful generals.
When the habit becomes natural, obedience will be engraved in the memory and first reaction of the general's heart.
The merit-fighting incident was perfectly resolved.
Zhu Yixi also breathed a sigh of relief.
"This battle has exposed many problems."
King Hanyang was not prepared to let them go so easily and said seriously:
"I intend to conduct a post-war summary every time after a war, find out the shortcomings, and correct them, so that I can know myself and the enemy, and be invincible in a hundred battles."
"Ah?" Everyone felt a headache in an instant.
Isn't this just a way of exposing each other's scars and offending others? How uncomfortable it is!
I looked down at my feet and counted my fingers, but no one spoke.
"Li Jizu, you take the lead!"
"Me?" Li Jizu cried sadly, facing the unquestionable gaze of King Hanyang, he could only whisper:
"Well, the cavalry on the other side is too powerful. We have no experience, so we broke through in one go..."
"That's right, the cavalry on the opposite side actually knows how to mount and shoot. This is something we have never faced before, and even the shield is useless!"
Whidden acknowledged hastily.
"Actually, to deal with cavalry, grenades are needed!" Yan Guochao said hurriedly:
"I have never seen such a weapon, so I beat the opponent unconscious. This is how Zhang Dingguo was injured."
He did not forget to take credit for himself.
Therefore, the first summary meeting started with a roll call and ended with taking turns to speak. Although it was rough, the effect was good.
Zhu Yixi expressed that she was very satisfied, as long as there was progress.
After everyone left, he asked Zhu Mou on the side: "Big man, you said you didn't compete for credit before, why did you do it this time?"
"Your Highness, I didn't have merit points before!"
Zhu Mou smiled and said: "The difference of a few hundred points is just a few hundred acres of land. If converted into silver, it is hundreds or even thousands of taels. Who wouldn't be jealous after seeing it?"
"Right!"
Zhu Yixi smiled casually, that was indeed the case.
