Ji Rentu looked at the empty camp and the pile of used and unwashed cauldrons on the ground, and the bald man's eyes became even more gloomy.
"Sir, we have already checked. This camp is indeed a shadow camp, and the flags on the back mountain are still standing there." A soldier in armor knelt on the ground and reported.
"Find the captain of the scout team!" Ji Rentu calmly ordered.
"Sir... Your Majesty, the captain of the scout team has committed suicide." The soldier replied in a trembling voice.
The bald man closed his eyes, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "Find a place and bury him! Report him dead in battle!"
Luoye City has a standing army of 8,000 people, and it also has a complete military promotion and welfare system. Among them, the money spent on the army every year is a fixed monthly military salary, and a large part of the money is used for the aftermath of the soldiers.
superior.
Soldiers are also human beings, and they also have wives, children, and parents. Joining the army and gaining military honors is of course the fastest way to be promoted, but this path has been forged through countless mountains of corpses and seas of blood. And more people have fallen on this path.
Halfway through, as the saying goes, one general can make a thousand bones wither!
This also requires every force with standing armed forces to have a complete aftermath system. Hundreds of soldiers died in the battle, and Luoye City needed to provide a large pension, equivalent to half a year's military pay for ordinary soldiers, and the family's taxes must be reduced for at least three years.
.
The iron law written in the military regulations at this time! It is also the most direct guarantee of Ji Shenfu's appeal. This is also why no matter how big or small the forces are, once the army is crippled, their vitality will be severely damaged and they will not be able to turn over for several years.
.
Just like an army of 10,000 enemies is completely wiped out. In addition to having to invest in re-recruiting soldiers and generals for training, the previous 10,000 people died in battle and the pension is equivalent to one month of raising an army of 60,000 people.
Military pay, coupled with the reduction in taxes for these 10,000 households, is a serious problem for any force.
However, if a soldier is not killed in battle, but is executed, or is exterminated for treason or rebellion, then there will be no compensation at all, and some serious crimes will also affect his family.
It is for this reason that before the demise of many large forces, many once-loyal troops will often rebel. In fact, many armies will not betray their masters and should be the wives of their soldiers.
The children's parents are in the hands of the master, and if they rebel rashly, the whole family will be killed.
The truth of the matter is that this army fought bloody battles to the end when resisting foreign enemies. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers fought until only a few thousand were left, and finally defeated or drove back the enemy. However, before they could return to the capital, they were defeated.
His own friendly troops surrounded him, and an imperial edict came down stating that he was guilty of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Thousands of brave men who had not died in the hands of the enemy, all died in the hands of his own army.
Is the monarch a fool? No, this monarch may understand better than anyone else that this army of hundreds of thousands is more loyal than anyone else. However, he has to give this order. Because as long as this order is given, these hundreds of thousands of soldiers will die in battle.
There will be no need to pay pensions, and even the taxes of hundreds of thousands of families will not be lost, and they will even be collected better and turned into slaves!
The compensation for the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers can completely support an army of nearly one million for a month! This is why many forces that are in danger of annihilating their country always reveal shocking cases of injustice!
…
The wheel of history is always repeating the various processes that people have experienced. There are no exceptions in all dynasties and generations, just like the Yunxiao Army back then. Until now, the historical materials of Luo Yun Kingdom still record: Yunxiao in the previous dynasty, soldiers and soldiers
He was powerful and brave and invincible. But then his master was unjust, and he suffered from successive wars, and the people suffered terribly. Mo Shang and Yun Xi surrendered one after another. God bless Luo Yun and 50,000 Yunxiao, who rebelled against the country and finally achieved a great cause!
…
Zhang Heng followed Ji Rentu and nodded slightly when he heard the other party's words. Yinren Village's move was indeed clever. In fact, the scout captain was also unlucky. Although he could not escape the charge of not observing intelligence, he could not escape.
It would be unfair to blame him for this matter.
The middle-aged scribe sighed, bowed and said, "Sir, this subordinate is guilty!"
The bald man turned around and glanced at him, and said calmly: "Sir, what do you mean by this? What's the crime?"
Zhang Heng smiled bitterly and said: "Heng was ordered by the county magistrate to assist you in this expedition. However, Yinren used this method to deceive us and surprise Tie Xin! As a staff officer with the army, I failed to see through it. This crime of negligence cannot be evaded.
.”
Ji Rentu's eyes lit up, and he understood what the other party meant, and said solemnly: "In that case, I will fine you sir three months of military pay as a warning to others!"
The middle-aged scribe cupped his hands and said with a smile: "That's fair, sir!"
Soon, the news of Zhang Heng being punished by General Ji spread throughout the cavalry.
…
A group of black-armored soldiers knocked down the wall of the northern camp and lit a bonfire in the center of the original school grounds. Ji Rentu climbed onto the general stand and looked at the dark crowd of soldiers.
Following him this time were a thousand cavalrymen led by his headquarters. However, because the northern border of Yinren Village was mostly densely forested, these thousand cavalrymen all dismounted and came on foot. Their horses would leave Yao Jingshun's camp early tomorrow morning.
More than a hundred soldiers escorted them.
The two hundred and fifty cavalry led by the remaining three cavalry generals all went to perform their own tasks. Among them, the red-armored cavalry general Liu Dong and the white-armored cavalry general Zhu Wen, after reporting to Ji Rentu before, went to their respective positions.
Sneak back to Tiexin Village and find your own plan.
The last Qing family cavalry general has other tasks planned.
"You guys must have heard the rumors at noon today. Yes, we were defeated! One hundred and three brothers died!" Ji Rentu said loudly. Obviously, the man used his inner strength, otherwise there would have been more than a thousand people.
He was surrounded here, and the soldiers outside could not hear what he said.
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of whispers, but the bald man ignored everyone and continued: "This is the camp in Yinren Village. They killed our brothers not far away! You can look down and see this
The pots and pans in the camp! Yes, after they killed them, they had a big meal here!"
Ji Rentu glanced at the people who were gradually calming down, and continued: "I have dealt with some people regarding this matter. The captain of the scout team died, and my staff officer Mr. Zhang was fined for one season! But what I want to say,
It’s not just these! The people I want to punish are not just these!”
All the black-armored soldiers in the audience understood what their master meant and spoke one after another:
"Yes! General, we can't let those bumpkins go!"
"The hatred of Pao Ze must not be let go like this!"
"General, lead us to fight!"
…
The bald man glanced at the crowd with a gloomy look, raised the sword in his hand, and roared: "At noon tomorrow, we will attack Yinren and pay with blood!"
I saw a crowd of black-armored soldiers under the stage, shouting in unison: "Attack Yinren! Blood debt must be paid with blood!"
As the saying goes, when people gather together, thousands of people shout and thousands of people roar!
These cavalry in black armor, even if they are dismounted, are still well-trained soldiers!
