Nanming Yiming

Chapter 28 Forming the Barracks

A series of sudden changes caused chaos on the whole ship.There are really martial arts masters in this world, Qian Mo felt that he was almost doomed, even Xie Sanmu and Zhou Boda had lingering fears, but luckily everything was out of danger.

Yang Wenqi knelt down on one knee and said: "I deserve death for being a low-ranking official. I am surprised that the assassin was not found. I also ask Mr. Qian to forgive me."

Qian Mo calmed down and said, "It's okay, thanks to this strong man who sacrificed his life to save him!"

This is Lu Shanhai, a subordinate of the humble staff. He was originally a general, but he was demoted to superintendent for violating military regulations a few days ago.

"Lu Zhuangshi is so skilled, who is he from?"

His ancestral home is Jiaxing, Zhejiang.

I am from Jiashan, so we can be regarded as fellow villagers.

Qian Mo was really terrified this time. The Governor's Mansion is usually heavily guarded. Qian Mo occasionally went to the Qinhuai River with many guards from the Governor's Mansion. Who would have thought that he would be assassinated on a Qing army warship?It seems that this traitor is not easy to be, and I don't know how those "big traitors" survived on weekdays?

In fact, Qian Mo was a little humble. After the "world situation" in Qinhuai River, he was already a "big traitor" in the hearts of most people.

Qian Mo thought that since Lu Shanhai was so skilled, he was demoted several levels by Yang Wenqi, so he probably didn't receive much attention from him on weekdays, so he just took the opportunity to recruit him.

So he said: "Master Xie, Governor Zhou, Zongbing Yang, Qian Mo has a heartfelt request."

"This time the assassin escapes, it is hard to guarantee that he will not make a comeback. Although the Governor's Mansion is heavily guarded, Qian Mo feels uneasy because there are no expert guards around him. This strong man Lu is very skilled, and he is also from the same town as Qian Mo. Qian Mo wants to keep this strong man Lu. I wonder if it is possible to be a general of the military camp by my side?"

I thought Yang Wenqi would shirk this direct poaching, but Yang Wenqi agreed directly, saying, "Lu Shanhai, please thank Mr. Qian for his promotion. Ten of your subordinates will be transferred to Mr. Qian's personal camp."

He agreed so readily, and also "buy one get ten free", it seems that his guess was right, the relationship between these two people is not ordinary bad!
Lu Shanhai didn't hesitate at all, and said directly: "I obey your orders, thank you Mr. Qian for your appreciation, I will definitely protect you well."

At this time, Xie Sanmu also said: "Ten people are a little less, Hong Fugui, you select another 40 people from the guards of the governor's mansion to join the son's personal camp, and make sure you are safe."

"It's so good, Qian Mo thanked you both!"

This time, the responsibility of Yunyin is heavy, and the thieves from all walks of life will inevitably worry about it. Mr. Yang still needs to check carefully to ensure nothing goes wrong.In addition, the origin of the assassin also needs to be investigated to see if there are other accomplices in the army.

Afterwards, several people inspected the dock warehouse and the corresponding military equipment.

At this moment, 10 of Lu Shanhai's subordinates and 40 of them led by Hong Fugui were on standby at the school ground near the pier. These were the entire wealth of Qian Moqin's barracks.

The military generals of the Ming Dynasty had the habit of raising servants, and the servants were relatively elite, but the cost was extremely high.Therefore, the generals of the Ming Dynasty usually "eat empty salaries" and use part of the empty salaries to support their families.This also caused the combat power of the Ming Dynasty army to be very low. For example, an army with 3000 soldiers on the surface may actually be less than half.It doesn't matter if the number is small, he can support 200 elite servants. In addition to the salary of the imperial court, the extra treatment of these servants is several times that of ordinary soldiers.When fighting tough battles, using these elite servants as the core can make up for the shortage of soldiers caused by "employment" and still maintain a certain combat power.But these family members are all private soldiers, and they often only recognize generals and not the court.At the beginning, Li Chengliang relied on 8000 servants in Liaodong, and Wu Sangui's "Guanning Iron Cavalry" was also equivalent to Wu's servants.

At this time, a large number of Ming army generals surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and this habit was retained.Otherwise, Qian Mo would be nothing, where did he come from the pro-barracks?These people are actually his servants, and of course they still receive the monthly salary of the Qing army.Qian Mo naturally understands the truth that "the emperor does not send hungry soldiers". To make these soldiers follow him wholeheartedly, spending money is necessary.

So Qian Mo appointed Lu Shanhai and Hong Fugui as the chief and deputy generals of the pro-military battalion, and announced the treatment of the pro-military team:

The total is 100 taels of silver per month, the total is 80 taels per month for the deputy general, and 5 other chiefs are selected, each of whom is 20 taels per month, and ordinary soldiers are 10 taels per month, and "double pay" is paid in the first month of each year.Family members who are injured or killed in action can receive additional pensions, and they can also receive additional rewards for meritorious service.In addition, Qian Mo subsidizes 100 taels of food per month to ensure that each person has three meals a day, and at least one meal of meat a day.

Glancing at the envious Jiang Shanmai, Qian Mo randomly appointed Jiang Shanmai as the overseer of the personal army, responsible for teaching everyone to read and write, and formulating the corresponding rules and regulations for the personal army, and supervising their implementation.The monthly salary is 200 taels.

At this time, the soldiers broke out into thunderous cheers, shouting "Long live Mr. Qian, I am willing to go through fire and water for you, and I will do anything"!
(The salaries of officials and soldiers in the Ming Dynasty actually included food and materials. They were not all paid in silver. This is different from the present. In the early Ming Dynasty, all the grain and rice salaries of a soldier were converted into silver, which was about 3 taels of silver, but by the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a serious lack of payment. , Many soldiers don’t even get paid at all, the average is less than 1 tael per month; the treatment of the Qing army in the early Qing Dynasty is much higher, all calculated to an average of 5 taels a month, and the soldiers who surrendered are treated equally, of course, the premise It’s because your chief didn’t cheat. This is also the reason why after the Ming army surrendered and became the Qing army, their combat power increased a lot, and their treatment improved a lot.)
Qian Merton, who had never led a soldier before, felt that the army was useful, and thought that Emperor Chongzhen was too stingy, and the problem that could be solved with money was not a problem.

At this time, Qian An, his follower, continued to use sex for Qian Mo, and Qian Mo suddenly realized a serious problem: In fact, after donating 500W taels, it seems that he has no money.Living in the Governor's Mansion does not require him to pay for everything, and every time he goes out to socialize, it is someone else's money, so Qian Mo has no specific concept of money, thinking that he is a well-known family in the south of the Yangtze River anyway, and he is not short of money. .Only then did he recall that not long ago, Qian An seemed to have mentioned to him that the family only had 3000 taels of silver left.

Zhou Boda next to him was stunned, good guy, only a battalion of 52 soldiers plus one servant Jiang Shan spent nearly 1100 taels a month, Qian Mo is really rich!Fortunately, he only has his own troops now. If it gets out, how can others lead the troops?

Xie Sanmu is still clear about Qian Mo's financial situation, knowing that for the 500 million taels, Qian Mo has already emptied his family.It seems that although this Qian Mo is talented and clever, he is still a son who does not work hard and does not distinguish between five grains.
