Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 154 Fairness and Justice
"Sorry, General Zhang, I'm afraid you misunderstood."

Seeing this scene, His Royal Highness King Hanyang raised his chin slightly, and said in surprise:

"I just want to meet Zeng Ying, the former counterfeit general, and I don't intend to surrender."

Li Dingguo stood with his head held high, his face suddenly flushed red.

Wishful thinking?Shame! ! !

At this moment, he wished he could find a pillar and hit him to death.

Ha ha ha ha--

All the generals laughed, and Li Jingwu was the most exaggerated. He raised his head and laughed loudly: "I really don't know how much it is. Are you worthy of His Highness personally persuading you to surrender?"

"Do you think this is the Three Kingdoms that the storyteller said?"

Li Dingguo turned his head and stared at him with tiger eyes, looking straight at him, as if he wanted to write down the flesh and bones together.

Li Jingwu was startled, he quickly raised his chest, and looked at each other without fear.

"We are fellow villagers, so I won't bully you, so let's imprison you for now. Soon, your righteous brothers, righteous brothers, and foster fathers will come to see you."

Zhu Yixi waved his hand, and Li Dingguo was brought down like dust.

He deeply understood that this famous general in history would never give in before Zhang Xianzhong died.

After all, he is a 24-year-old young man who values ​​love and righteousness. In history, after Zhang Xianzhong was killed, he swore to fight against the Qing Dynasty before switching to Nanming.

Family hatred and national hatred, gathered together, his will to resist is so firm.

You have to train well.

Facing the generals, Zhu Yixi had a calm face and said:
"With a small victory, you start to fight for success. Are you proud and complacent? Are you arrogant?"

No one will refute this.

Li Jizu leaned on his close relationship and hesitated again and again. Pushed by everyone, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:
"Your Highness, we don't care about the ranking of third-class meritorious deeds, but the brothers under us are aggrieved. Can they count on meritorious deeds?"

All the generals nodded in agreement.

Zhao Guangyuan and Hui Dengxiang, seeing that they were outraged by the public, could only bow their heads and be petty. After all, they were truly defeated.

Self-knowledge is still there.

Zhu Yixi said coldly: "Don't use your subordinates as a cover, I don't understand your thoughts?"

Li Jizu patted his head with a silly smile: "It's still your highness who knows everything, and can't hide anything from you."

Zhu Yixi was amused by this shameless face.

For a while, the atmosphere eased a lot.

Merit points are the product of military merit.

For a victory, one to five points is the base point.

It is divided into three classes, first, second and last.

During the battle, Zhu Yixi made it clear that the victory is three points.

However, this only starts with three points.

And the army that won the first merit is the five points of the apex.

The secondary merit is four points, and the final merit is three points of merit.

Ordinary soldiers are naturally reluctant to part with these few acres of land, and similarly, generals are also reluctant.

Because according to the merit point regulations of the Qin army, after the victory of an ordinary general, his merit point is one percent of the total number of soldiers under his command, that is, one percent.

For example, the captain commanded a hundred people, and after the victory, he could get an extra merit point for one person.

Like Li Jizu, if he is the last one, he can only get merit points equivalent to 50 people, that is, 150 points.

And if it's secondary, it's two hundred points.

The difference of fifty points is one hundred acres of land!

Who can bear this?

No one would accept the Minghui and Mingyuan Second Battalions that were on the verge of defeat.

However, the account is not calculated in this way.

"If you all follow your wishes and count the meritorious service rankings by head, how can this be fair?"

Zhu Yixi directly refuted this kind of thinking, and said seriously: "A meritorious service, meritorious deeds, the first is merit, but killing the enemy is merit, covering is also merit, and holding the enemy is also merit. How can you easily conclude with the head?"

"The Minghui and Mingyuan Second Battalions were defeated, but they held back the enemy's cavalry, second only to the Heavy Step and Second Cavalry Battalions. It is very appropriate for them to take second place."

"So, in future battles, as long as you obey orders and do your best to help you win, you will have meritorious service."

On the side, Hui Dengxiang and Zhao Guangyuan were instantly moved. This is true insight and good words!
"Your Highness, the last general is ashamed to lead!" The two knelt on one knee, lowered their heads and said in shame.

"Get up, you deserve it."

Zhu Yixi supported the two of them, and said in a deep voice, "I have always been fair and just."

Many people secretly thought that this policy was fairer to them in a sense.

This is the exact opposite of the previous one.

Whether it is in the Ming army or in the army, you will be rewarded if you win, and you will be punished if you lose, regardless of whether you try your best or not.

Sometimes, the rear guard and cover are often thankless, and they are only done by hard assignments. Everyone is keen on the forward who has done meritorious service.

"Your Highness is wise!"

Liu Tingjie, a big boss, figured this out at the first time, and hurriedly cupped his hands and praised.

"Your Highness is wise and mighty, long live—"

The others who were slow to respond couldn't wait to appreciate it.

"Long live or something, stop yelling."

Zhu Yixi finally smiled.

Qin, Tang, and Ming all had a military merit system, and meritorious service was counted by head.

The Ming Dynasty was divided into Tartars, Japanese pirates, and bandits in detail, and the rewards were naturally different due to different levels.

It is too simple and rude, and it is easy to have the bad habit of killing the enemy and taking credit.

And his modified version is centered on the group, whoever is obedient and contributes more will have meritorious service.

In a sense, this is an opportunity to change the arrogant soldiers.

When the habit becomes natural, obedience will be imprinted in the memory deep in the general's heart, the first reaction.

The meritorious incident was perfectly resolved.

Zhu Yixi also breathed a sigh of relief.

"There are still many problems exposed in this battle."

The King of Hanyang was not prepared to let them go so easily, and said seriously:
"I intend to open a post-war summary after every battle, find out the defects, and correct them, so as to know ourselves and the enemy, and win a hundred battles."

"Ah?" Everyone felt a headache for a moment.

Isn't this a thing of exposing each other's scars and offending others, how uncomfortable it is!

He looked down at his feet and counted his fingers, but no one spoke.

"Li Jizu, you take the lead!"

"Me?" Li Jizu was crying, facing King Hanyang's indisputable gaze, he could only say in a low voice:

"Well, the cavalry on the other side is too powerful, we have no experience, we broke through in one go..."

"That's right, the cavalry on the opposite side can actually ride and shoot. This is something we have never faced before, and the shields are useless!"

Whedon hastily admitted.

"Actually, to deal with cavalry, you have to use grenades!" Yan Guochao hurriedly said:

"I didn't see this kind of weapon before, so I beat the opponent into a daze. That's how Zhang Dingguo was injured."

He did not forget to give credit to himself.

Therefore, the first summary meeting started with roll call and ended with taking turns to speak. Although it was rough, it worked well.

Zhu Yixi expressed his satisfaction, as long as there is progress.

After everyone left, he asked Zhu Mou who was beside him: "Boss, you said you didn't fight for merit before, why did you do it this time?"

"Your Highness, there were no merit points before!"

Zhu Mou smiled and said: "The difference is a few hundred points, but it is a difference of several hundred acres of land. If this is converted into silver, it is hundreds of thousands of taels. Who would not be jealous?"

"Right!"

Zhu Yixi smiled, it was true.
