There is no place for women in this room. Liang Ji was carried over, and Peng Jiu moved into the room after confirming the person who was looking after the money. Teams of all sizes had no place to sit, so they simply stood.
The retired old man stood at the end with his hands clasped, wanting to hear what the general had to say.
Yunzheng took a sip of hot tea and said straight to the point: "You have all seen the amount of money. It's a lot. When the head clerk who joined the army gave us 60% of the money, he said we were 40% short.
I will settle this account with them later."
"General, this is how money is distributed in the army. We can get 60% because of the general. In the past, when Lao Kong was the general, he only got 50% when he went to collect rations. Low-level officials
Don’t dare to expect more!”
Peng Jiu quickly came out and explained to Yun Zheng the secrets inside. The other officers and veterans also nodded in agreement.
"Bullshit! I don't care what happens in other people's army. In my army, the money is always one thousand cash, not six hundred cash, or one thousand two hundred cash. Don't tell me about the previous rules. Remember it, always.
It's a thousand words. This is written into the laws of the Song Dynasty. No one can change it except the emperor!
This time we lost all our strength, killed so many brothers, and injured countless others. We only got back less than 6,000 guan of money. On average, each person didn't even get 2 guan of money. What do we say now?
Divide money.
The brothers who died in the battle took first. The money that was carried away in the backpacks was not enough because they were women, children, and weak. Each brother who died in the battle must make up fifteen guans, which is one hundred and twenty kilograms of money.
Peng Jiu can take their family members to the money bank to get money from Lao Liao. The money must be distributed in full, and those with children at home who are over fifteen years old will be given priority to supplement the money and enter the military camp."
As soon as Yun Zheng finished speaking, people in the tent were kneeling on the ground, including several veterans, who held their hands in tears and praised Yun Zheng for his benevolence and righteousness. Peng Jiu wiped away his tears and went out to do things.
Yun Zheng said without changing his expression: "The seriously injured take eight guan, the slightly injured five guan, the officers and soldiers are all the same. Liang Ji, do you have any objections?" Liang Ji bent down with difficulty and said: "I have no objection to the humble position. Who wants to be?"
If you are not satisfied with your humble position, I will kill him alive."
Yun Zheng nodded and said: "This is how the money for burials is distributed. The rules from now on will be according to this. I will be your general for a day. This is the rule of Jiazi Camp.
However, operating income is divided according to the rank of the officers. This will be discussed later. Each person who goes to war has three guan, each person who carries the money has two guans. Each person whose family member is sent is 500 guan. If the family does not receive any money, each family will be subsidized with 500 guan.
arts.
Okay, there are about three thousand guan left. I took away one thousand guan, and put the remaining less than 2,000 guan into the army's accounts. It was distributed like this. This will be the norm in the future. As for the government's return
The jewelry that has not been distributed will be sold and then put into the public account. The money will be the cost of chewing grain in Jiazi Camp in the future.
The distribution has been decided, and we all go to the treasury to collect the money. After collecting the money, we will close the camp door to celebrate, drink wine, and eat meat to celebrate our victory!"
The people below yelled "Here!" and went to collect the money with smiles on their faces.
Yun Zheng walked out of the camp gate, looked at the long line of people collecting money at the bank, and laughed for the first time. Whether it was in the past life or in this life, giving out money is always a good and pleasant thing.
Lu Qingqing walked behind Yun Zheng and saw that her husband was happy. She was also happy. She was also happy for the children who were surrounding the bank and watching their parents receive money. This was the first time that her husband showed his power after being silent for a long time.
Once, the target of his display of power was bandits in Chengdu Prefecture.
After seeing the wounded and comforting the families of the deceased, Yun Zheng drank two bowls of wine as a token of his duty, then staggered back to his room to sleep. He knew that the soldiers were not drinking happily while he was there, and they were not happy.
It won't be complete. The winner should drink a big bowl of wine and eat a big piece of meat.
Sure enough, when he left the drinking shed with everyone's respect, the place exploded with flowers. Peng Jiu's screams and Liang Ji's curses filled the venue.
Yun Zheng was supported by Lu Qingqing, and his steps were a little shaky. He was really exhausted today. He looked back at the lively place, shook his head, and entered the house. When Lu Qingqing helped her husband take off his boots, he realized that he had fallen asleep.
It’s on…
At chen o'clock, it was time for morning exercises. Yun Zheng got up habitually at chen o'clock and covered Lu Qingqing with a thin quilt. The weather by the river was humid, and quilts were not suitable for bedding. They absorbed too much moisture. The best bedding was silk.
There was a brocade quilt, but no one in the military camp could afford it except Yunzheng, so it was made of linen stuffed with kapok wadding, which didn’t keep warm.
When he walked out of the room, he realized that the camp was quiet today and no one was out. Yun Zheng didn't remember that today was a day for rest. Last night, he told Peng Jiu not to make trouble too late. Unexpectedly, all these guys were drunk.
He was lying in a pile of straw under the shed like mud, snoring one after another, grinding his teeth and talking in his sleep.
How can this be done? The army must develop a habit of being punctual. If you forget to do drills because of celebrations, this is intolerable. So Yun Zheng became angry, called the soldiers on guard, and carried it with them.
He whipped people and drove these disheveled, howling, and disheveled guys out of the military camp like ducks and ran along the river embankment.
Yun Zheng followed behind on horseback. Once he found a straggler, he would hit him with a whip. When he ran to the river, everyone finally woke up from the drunkenness and plunged his head into the river to drink water. At this time, there was only cool river water.
It was a good thing to eliminate the drunkenness in one's belly. As a result, he was whipped again and the army was not allowed to drink raw water.
When they ran back to the military camp from the river, Liang Ji, Peng Jiu and the wounded soldiers watched sympathetically as their companions lined up and rumbled back, but after seeing their embarrassed appearance, they immediately burst out laughing.
It was at this moment that they felt that being injured was actually not a very difficult thing to accept.
Zhang Fangping stayed up all night, looking at the rotting battlefield in Wo Niu Mountain and not knowing what to say. Huang Zhou's army was successfully dragged into the night by the bandits. At night, the bandits in Wo Niu Mountain took advantage of the cover of night to forcefully break through the officers and soldiers.
In the encirclement, more than twenty bandit leaders fled into the deep mountains and forests. It was at this time that Zhang Fangping learned that another big leader of the Maitreya Sect, Ge Qiuyan, was also in Woniu Mountain. When he heard the news, Zhang Fangping was furious and almost killed Huang Zhou.
When asked to kill him, Huang Zhou put the blame for the thief's escape on Yun Zheng, and told Zhang Fangping that Yun Zheng disobeyed the general's orders and returned to camp privately, resulting in such a corrupt situation because of his lack of troops.
At this time, no one will remember that Yun Zheng's order to return to the camp was issued by Zhang Fangping himself. The superior officer can't make mistakes, and he can't make mistakes. The only ones who make mistakes are his subordinates. Zhang Fangping was laughed at by Zhonge. Coming down from the mountain, he took Huang Zhou and a group of generals to vent their anger on Yun Zheng. Zhang Fangping thought that Yun Zheng was too careless about the overall situation.
Zhong E sat on the horse calmly as before, and walked side by side with the angry Zhang Fangping. While walking, he talked about the beautiful mountains and rivers in Sichuan and praised the scenery of Dujiangyan.
Zhang Fangping and Zhong E watched the scene where Yun Zheng led the soldiers to drill. They did not expect that Yun Zheng would not forget to drill after the great victory. In any case, he had achieved victory without being arrogant!
When the soldiers reported the news, Yun Zheng had just finished washing up and was not surprised by Zhang Fangping's arrival. Calculating the time, they should have arrived. It would be strange if that idiot Huang Zhou could capture Woniu Mountain before dark.
After Zhang Fangping sat down, he didn't ask about Yun Zheng's departure from the battlefield. He still couldn't frame his subordinates. What he asked was why Yun Zheng did nothing when his friendly forces were in danger.
Yun Zheng looked at Huang Zhou doubtfully and said: "Commander Qi, when I left the post, Huang Dujian had already attacked the village wall twice, and the wall had been damaged to pieces. As long as he is determined to attack again, The thieves are bound to disperse, and the reason why Beizhi left was because he was worried that Huang Dujian would think that Beizhi was trying to grab credit.
It is a taboo in the military to seize credit. Huang Dujian has already suffered heavy casualties. If he had taken up a humble position at that time, he would have been hated to death by Huang Dujian. There is no need to stay in Woniu Mountain for both public and private purposes."
In fact, not only Yun Zheng was confused, Zhang Fangping was also very confused. When he was there, Huang Zhou had already secured the victory. The soldiers had already attacked the slope, and the crossbowmen suppressed the thieves behind the wall. All he had to do was add kerosene. Throwing it into the cottage and setting it on fire with rockets is considered a win. This was a strategy that he and Yun Zheng had formulated long ago. Why did the situation change so much after he went to Zhaogong Mountain? What if Huang Zhou really didn't have enough troops? , I will not let Yun Zheng return to camp no matter what.
In the army, two tigers compete with each other, and as the commander-in-chief, he can make adjustments in the middle. If one party dominates, he will be arrogant, which will be very detrimental to his command.
Huang Zhou's eyes were about to pop out with anger. Wo Niu Mountain was easy to defend but difficult to attack. His infantry had been attacking from behind. They had been fighting hard for almost a day. How could the morale in the afternoon be the same as the morale in the morning? Everyone knows that the inside is half ninety, but the defense commander doesn't seem to understand.
Zhong E suddenly interjected: "Now that the matter has come to this, it's useless to talk more. It's better to think about how to catch all the escaped thieves. But I don't know what Du Yuhou has to say."
What Zhong E said was very unreasonable. He was a guest and should not interfere in Zhang Fangping's affairs.
Strangely, Zhang Fangping did not get angry, but nodded, thinking that what Zhong E said made sense, and then fixed his eyes on Yun Zheng, waiting for him to speak.
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "In fact, it's not difficult. The bandits in Woniu Mountain have defected to the Maitreya Cult, and Liu Ningjing is under the control of Huang Dujian. According to the Di newspaper, the Maitreya Cult has strict doctrines, and those who refuse to save them will escape even if they die." , will also be punished with three swords and six holes. Huang Dujian has a big shot from the Maitreya Sect in his hands, are you still worried that they won't take the bait?"
Zhong E looked at Yun Zheng's harmless face with a half-smile, but felt a turmoil in his heart: "What a vicious boy, this is a plan to put Huang Zhou's family to death!" (To be continued)
