Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 131 The First Half

Bai Tu was originally very worried about the military discipline of Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, thinking that they were all border people after all, and they would inevitably have wild tempers as they fought against foreigners for a long time.

But now it seems that the military discipline of Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is actually better than other armies.

Bai Tu had just figured out this truth not long ago - it was because Bingzhou was always being harmed by the Qiang and Southern Huns from Hetao, so their soldiers understood more closely how abominable these insurrectionary troops were that harmed the people.

Moreover, the Bingzhou Army also has a "convenience", that is, when they are in Bingzhou, they can plunder the Qiang people unscrupulously, and it will not be regarded as a violation of military discipline. Even if ordinary Qiang tribes with no conflicts are looted by them, Shangguan will not Only open one eye and close one eye.

Although Bai Tu disagreed with this, but... indeed after arriving in Jiangdong, even if the Qiang did not bring harm to them, these Bingzhou soldiers were a little panicked, but they have always been very restrained towards the compatriots in Jiangdong.

Moreover, the wolf cavalry is either under Lu Bu or Zhang Liao, which is enough to restrain the soldiers.

But once there is an opportunity to move to the army of "Pingshan Yue", these Bingzhou Wolf Riders are the most active!
Of course, the best military discipline is definitely "trapped in the camp".

"Father, drink more hot water..." Bai Tu graciously poured hot water for Lu Bu.

The craftsmanship of today's tea is quite poor, and there is really nothing to drink.

"Huh? What's the problem with the hard drive? What can't you and I say?" Lu Bu saw Bai Tu's flattery.

"This... really is something that only a father and son can talk about." Bai Tu was a little more serious, but he still couldn't hide his guilty conscience.

Upon hearing "Only a father and son can say that", Lu Bu raised his head even more, and Lu Lingqi looked aside and secretly curled her lips.

At the same time, Lu Lingqi is always ready. If Lu Bu wants to take action soon, she must avoid it to avoid bleeding all over her body!

……

Three days later, 600 representatives of military officers at all levels arrived at Jinling City.

In addition to Dantu's navy, the garrison forces in various places directly entrusted the Ji Zao soldiers in charge to their colleagues who stayed behind. The officers came alone, so they were very fast. After all, the lowest-ranking officers were also wood and stone warriors. A's.

Most of Dantu's troops were mobilized outside Jinling City - although the chance was low, Bai Tu needed to guard against Guangling on the other side.

What if Shu Shao, the prefect of Guangling, suddenly made a magic move and judged that most of the Dantu garrison was in an over-capacity state, and a corps commander led dozens of Ji Zao soldiers... and decisively led the troops to rush over, maybe he could really do it Order Dantu to blow up the camp!

On the contrary, there is no army left outside the city at all. With Zhang Liao in charge of Dantu, even if there are only a few thousand defenders, it is impossible for the opponent to sneak attack and capture it - just like the situation after Chen Palace crossed the river before.

The Ji Zao soldiers brought by armies from various places did not follow them into the city. Instead, they were taken over directly outside the city by the Bingzhou disciples led by Lu Bu. Each of them led dozens of Ji Zao soldiers in excess of their quota. Although they were reluctant, they were near Jinling. There is no need to worry about being attacked.

Most of the more than 500 officers transferred from various places had heard some rumors before coming to Jinling. They knew that he was a Sima from another department in Yangxian, Wu County, who was causing trouble in the countryside, behaved badly, and was bumped into by his lord, so they There is this time to "kill the chicken to scare the monkey".

Inevitably, there are also some discordant voices circulating, nothing more than thinking that the lord is making a fuss out of a molehill.

Some people even deliberately spread complaints such as "if you follow this kind of lord, you will work hard and be treated as a slave", but fortunately Bai Tu's popularity is high enough, and he has not treated the sergeants harshly.

Although it cannot be said that the salary has been improved, because there has not been a large-scale expansion of recruitment, at least Bai Tu has not stopped the payment of military pay like other princes.

So the morale of the military has not been shaken yet, but many people still sympathize with that Sima from another department. The limitations of time and status make it difficult for them to empathize with the suffering people, and they can only be more inclined to the same status. Sima of other departments.

However, to everyone's surprise, after entering the city, Bai Tu did not take them to "see the slaughter of chickens", but first took them to the Temple of the Guardian.

Bai Tu specially built the Protector Temple in Jinling City.

Although it seems very empty now, Bai Tu tells everyone with the actions he has taken that in the future, all soldiers who died in battle will be engraved on the stone tablets of the Shrine of the Protectors.

Depending on the merits, there will even be an introduction. During the Battle of Qu'a, a soldier landed with an enemy cavalry in his arms in order to hinder the cavalry's momentum. Before they both died, he also tried his best to disturb the other "war horses". Long, even a small stele was erected separately, next to the big stele of the Battle of Qu'a.

This is a person from Qu'a County. His family lives in a farm outside the city...

Although he was only very talented, his achievements and spirit earned him his own stone monument in the Shrine of the Protector of the People.

"And I can promise you that at the age of 40...it is now 40 years old. Officers who reach this age, regardless of rank, can decide whether to stay or leave at their own discretion! The retirement reward will not be lower than the pension of the rank at that time!

Now I can only promise you 40 years old, but believe me, this year will only get earlier and earlier, not later.For all officers who have retired normally, your names will also be remembered in the memorial monument. "Bai Tu said.

If they can survive to the rank of captain or above, officers will basically not think about retiring from the army, while ordinary soldiers are synthesized from manpower and will not consider retiring.

However, for those veterans who are limited by their origins, were deprived of too much manpower when they were young, or for other reasons... who can only hang around at the Dub level and below, a reasonable retirement system is what they need.

And Baitu also explained that under his rule, the standards of "settlement allowance" and "pension" - pension is the pension that can be received by family members or oneself after death or disability in battle, while settlement allowance refers to enlistment in the army , the land can be granted in one lump sum.

The resettlement allowance was only granted to land, or wasteland that was promised to be reclaimed by the official settlement within one year. This was Lu Kang's suggestion.

Firstly, it was because all existing officers had to be reissued, which was a huge expense. Secondly, Lu Kang was also worried that someone would make a wrong decision because of this!
The land cannot be taken away even if it is divided. In the future, if someone maliciously "swipes" the settlement money, they can get it back at any time.

In addition, Baitu also announced a new military salary standard. The military salary for guarding and guarding is only a symbolic increase of [-]%. , Chaisang, this kind of town is not on the border of the Han Dynasty in name, but in fact it is an important town at the junction of Baitu and other forces, and it will be correctly classified as "garrison" in the future.

In wartime, military pay, whether for fighting against rebellion or resisting invasion, is nearly doubled. Even if someone dies in battle, the military pay will be handed over to the family members together with the pension.

Afterwards, Bai Tu also specially prepared a surprise "Awarding Ceremony" session. The garrisons in various places had previously selected outstanding officers with various names. Just after Bai Tu announced the new military pay, as soon as they left the Protector's Temple, there were already rehearsals Children, lined up outside to wear wreaths to the award recipients, as well as silver medals made by the state pastoral office!

The scene was very lively...

The officers did not expect that they did not come to see the "killing of chickens", but instead were "corrupted" by various honors and nearby interests.

Each one of them even doubted in their hearts whether the previous gossip was wrong?

But it was time to come back. After the awards were given, Bai Tu took them to the military camp in Wengcheng - the general yamen could not accommodate so many people.

Feeling the change in the atmosphere, everyone was convinced that the "second half" was coming...
