The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 79
In the past, they were the ones who paid the wages. For example, if the higher-ups asked to pay one or two people, they could pay eight yuan, and what was deducted would be considered their own. , everyone takes advantage.

Of course, the embezzlement of Dongjiang soldiers is not that bad. Compared with other troops in Ming Dynasty, it can be regarded as conscientious.

But it is not beneficial to pay in public now.

Xu Fuzuo used to do this in Ningyuan, but now he came to Lushun with only more than 200 soldiers with him. The other troops were from Lushun. In order to win people's hearts, he agreed to Ding Yi's method.

At this time, the payment is five qian per soldier, seven qian for the chief (small flag), eight qian for the captain (general banner), one tael for the sentry officer (hundred households), one tael for the total, and one tael for the thousand total. .

To be honest, the amount of money paid was really not that much. After all, Yuan only left 1 taels of silver for Lushun.

But for these soldiers on the playground, it was considered a very good thing. They haven't received such real money for many years.

In the past few years, Yuan and Mao had conflicts, cut off their pay and food, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Pidao starved to death. If it weren't for Shen Shikui's business support, Mao's side would have collapsed. If there is money to pay, everyone can live Just come down.

Now that the salary is suddenly paid, everyone naturally praises it.

The soldiers of Xu Dabao on Ding Yi's side were the first to shout: "Thank you, Mr. Yuan, General Xu paid the salary."

"Thank you, Master Yuan, General Xu for paying."

Soon there were voices all over the playground.

Xu Fuzou was smiling all over his face, the cry was really comfortable to listen to.

He was also used to cheating before, so he would listen to it, and suddenly felt that it was better for the soldiers, which seemed to be good.

And Lushun just checked, there are only less than 2000 people, and after the [-] silver has been distributed, there are still more than [-] taels left.

Looking at the excited crowd, Xu Dabao's soldiers dismissed each and every one of them, and only paid five cents. Seeing how happy you are, when we arrived at Xu Dabao, they were all issued one, two, one, two.

Under Ding Yi's command, they have already received two months' salary, because the first time was paid on May [-]nd, and the second time was on June [-]nd.

One tael of silver plus one stone of rice per month, this treatment is a few blocks away from Dongjiang soldiers.

Just when the others were coaxing to thank Mr. Yuan and General Xu.

Zhao Dashan, Zhang Jing and others stepped out of the queue one after another, walking from front to back, and said in a deep voice as they walked: "Our soldiers in Xu Dabao must remember it well."

"Whoever pays you, who leads you to victory."

Someone in the crowd immediately replied: "Of course it is Master Ding."

"It's good to know, don't call out today." Zhao Dashan said with a smile.

Everyone seems to understand.

Xu Wei stood behind with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Not long after, Xu Fuzuo got the news and said to everyone: "After the salary is paid, there are two thousand three hundred taels left."

Chen Shi and Mao Yongyi were taken aback for a moment, probably not expecting Xu Fuzou to say it.

"Let's divide the four of us." Xu Ye was generous.

The main reason is that he obeys Ding Yi's construction, and the leaders of the Dongjiang soldiers also need to establish a good relationship, and he has a good income recently, and Ding Yi has given him several times before and after, so he is naturally willing to be generous.

The most important thing is that the money is divided among everyone, and everyone is fine. If he takes it all by himself, he is afraid that someone will sue him.

Chen Sometimes and Mao Yongyi didn't dare to speak for a while, they looked at each other.

But Ding Yi said: "The humble official thinks that General Xu should get 1000 taels."

Xu Fuzou smiled and looked at Ding Yi interestingly.

"General Chen and General Mao should each get 600 taels, and the humble ones get 100 taels."

Ding Yi decided to divide the money.

Everyone looked at him strangely.

"Ding Dusi, you are short, I will give you the rest." Xu Fuzuo hurriedly said.

"General." Ding Yi clasped his fists: "The lowly position doesn't need money, let the lowly level choose soldiers and horses first."

Xu Fuzou listened and nodded decisively: "Okay, you should choose first, you can train soldiers, hahaha."

He smiled and looked at Mao and Chen.

Chen and Mao didn't say much, they already knew that the troops would be divided, although they were not happy, but this was Yuan's military order, so they had nothing to say.

And if they are paid like this in the future, there is no benefit for them to have more soldiers. You have to be responsible for weapons, armor, training, housing and transportation, but it is a burden.

"It should be Ding Dusi who chooses first." Chen sometimes said immediately.

Ding Yi was also polite, and immediately went down to select soldiers.

Dongjiang soldiers are different from the Ming army in other places. They are basically strong and strong. At the beginning, a large number of Liao people ran to Lushun on Pidao, and Mao selected them from hundreds of thousands of Liao people. It is called hoarding soldiers (tuntian), so those who are selected to serve as soldiers are all young and strong.

It was like Ding Yi's Dunbao at that time. There were several middle-aged soldiers in their 40s, and there were even 50-year-old veterans.

Now that there are so many young and strong people for him, Ding Yi will naturally seize the opportunity to order Mao Xin and other batches, about 200 people.

Then, according to previous observations, those who sit on the ground as soon as they enter the field, or even the old fritters lying on the ground, don't want it.

Those who can stand, and stand more securely, are given priority.

He picked very slowly, picking some here, picking some there, trying not to let the same battalion have too many people, and almost picked people from every battalion and team in Lushun.

Some people also asked: "I have a wife and mother-in-law's family, can I come here?"

"of course can."

"I have a daughter, can you come here?"

"Ok, Ok."

Everyone on the other side is overjoyed.

These days Ding Yi's people go outside every day to brag and compare, who in Lushun doesn't know that Ding Yi is treated better.

Everyone wanted to come to Nanying.

Someone even begged Ding Yi: "Choose me, I can endure hardships and fight wars."

The scene was a little noisy.

Mao Shouyi and Chen, who were watching from above, were sometimes a little dissatisfied: "Pick a soldier and dawdle, when is this?"

Xu Fuzuo was secretly amused, this was what he and Ding Yi had discussed to disrupt the battalions, so that the soldiers and horses in Lushun would not be as united as before.

The Dongjiang soldiers were all strong and strong, and Ding Yi picked more and more soldiers. After a while, almost 1000 people were picked.

Mao Shouyi saw that something was wrong, and said sharply: "Why is he running away with so many soldiers? Little capital, the soldiers are about to run out of thousands?"

Xu Fu said: "Our more than 5000 soldiers and horses are divided into four battalions, and one battalion will always have more."

"The Dusi can lead up to two thousand soldiers, no problem."

"He has a lot of soldiers and horses. In the future, he will be responsible for the armor, war horses, firearms and gunpowder. The ones sent by the higher-ups will only be distributed equally to everyone."

"It's a good thing."

When Mao Shouyi and Chen sometimes heard it, it seemed reasonable.

In the future, the supplies will be distributed by the superiors, and they will be divided equally among the four battalions. Ding Yi has a large number of people, and if there is not enough supplies, he will have to do it himself.

What's more, Xu Fuzuo was clearly helping Ding Yi, so there was no reason to say anything.

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't matter, let him choose.

In the end, Ding Yi selected 1000 and 500 soldiers. Adding his original troops, he now has nearly [-] soldiers.

Neither Zhang Jing nor Zhao Dashan expected that Ding Yi would pick so many soldiers.

The two were happy at first, and then looked at each other in blank dismay, how could Master Ding support so many soldiers and horses?
On the second day of every month, rice is paid in silver (the rice is paid by the court, but Ding Yi pays the real money by himself, and the rice from the court may not be on time).

The Dongjiang soldiers who were selected by Nanying were overjoyed, and those who were not selected were disappointed. But Ding Yi said that we will be together if we have a chance in the future. Finally, I will give you a thought.
