I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 34 Rewards and Pensions
The war is over.

It only took half a day for the Ming army to completely defeat Du Junying and pacify his troops from arriving at Ahou.The Fourth Town of the New Army in the rear camp did not even have a chance to fight.

The Ming Army's first town and the third town captured more than 1000 enemy troops in total, and captured tens of thousands of people.

The second town was even more impressive. The town commander Yang Gong personally led a thousand main troops to attack the east of the city.Not only were the remnants of Du Junying's fleeing troops defeated, but Du Junying and his son were also captured alive on the spot.

"Ahou City... no, now it is the lonely Ming Ahou Town!"

When the good news was delivered to Zhu Yijiong, Zhu Yijiong, who was riding on horseback, looked at the dusty battlefield in front of him and finally smiled.

The capture of Ahou Town not only meant that Zhu Yijiong had gained another city, but also meant that there would no longer be any forces resisting the banner of the Ming Dynasty in the entire Pingtung Plain.

The entire Tainan and Taichung areas fell completely into the hands of King Zhu.Next, whether it is to go north or to prepare troops and attack across the sea, there will no longer be any constraints.

"Your Majesty, do you want to meet the traitors Du Junying and his son?"

At this time, Yang Gong came forward and suggested with a respectful face.

As a superior, he usually has the habit of summoning the defeated after winning, for no other reason than to show off and show off.

"No need, just drag him down and chop him down! Just take control of his head and bring it back to the capital."

Zhu Yijiong shook his head, there was nothing good to see.These two people are the leaders of the Chaoshan people in the rebel army, and they also have natural influence in the hearts of the Chaoshan people in Taiwan. Zhu Yijiong cannot let them live.

Only when these two people are dead can King Zhu safely win over the morale of the Chaoshan soldiers.

"Your Majesty, bring Luo Xiaolin."

Zheng Dingrui came back at this time, accompanied by a young soldier with dark skin and a look of panic on his face.

When the soldier saw Zhu Yijiong sitting on the bamboo chair, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately bowed to the ground and shouted: "Long live the king!"

Zhu Yijiong said with a friendly face: "Haha, get up! This is a military camp now, and we are all brothers in Paoze, so there is no need to bow down like this!"

Even though he said this, King Zhu still waited for Luo Xiaolin to finish bowing before reaching out to help him up.In fact, he has understood the officialdom trick of rejecting and welcoming.

Of course, Luo Xiaolin didn't notice it at all, but felt that King Zhu was really upright!
Zhu Yijiong still smiled and nodded: "Your name is Luo Xiaolin, right?"

Luo Xiaolin said: "Yes, King Zhu!"

Zhu Yijiong said: "I heard that you killed a commander of the Fujian Navy of the Qing Army last time, and this time you took the lead, fighting thousands of enemy households, and captured thousands of enemy soldiers by one person?"

"Ah... well, it's not all my fault. Those 1000 people were all my brothers... No, it was Pao Ze. He was tied up with the others."

Luo Xiaolin was stunned, and quickly waved his hand to explain, "And what's more, Lao Shizi Qianhu thinks highly of me, and even said that he wants to meet you, King Zhu. But I always remember what you said, King Zhu, how is it possible..."

"Ahem...Luo Xiaolin, stop talking, the king didn't ask you so many questions."

Seeing that Luo Xiaolin seemed to be talking, Yang Gong quickly interrupted.

Zhu Yijiong waved his hand: "Okay, okay, it doesn't matter. Luo Xiaolin, right? He fought thousands of enemy troops in the formation, captured and surrendered thousands of enemy troops, and achieved great success. Guben... Well, your current military position is What's coming?"

Luo Xiaolin said: "Returning to King Zhu, I am now the platoon leader, and I am in charge of dozens of brothers Pao Ze." Zhu Yijiong said: "In that case, I will appoint you as the first town commander of our new army, in charge of a group of people." Soldiers of the Guard. Work hard and strive to become a general or something in the future, and you will be able to honor your ancestors."

Good guy, this is two levels straight away.

According to the original promotion system, even if you want to be promoted, you should be promoted to the battalion commander.

Mainly, Zhu Yijiong felt that since it was to set an example, it could encourage the soldiers to fight bravely.Then why not just be more generous? In this way, the soldiers will be more motivated.

As for how to arrange the promotion, that's simple.Although the Ming army could win every battle, it was not without casualties.

Except for the fourth town, which is difficult to arrange, the other three towns are all very well organized.

When Luo Xiaolin heard that he had been promoted again, he immediately beamed with joy: "I thank King Zhu for his kindness! By the way, King Zhu, can you let me bring my old brothers with me? Oh, I'm not asking for rewards from them, I'm just …”

After hearing this, Zhu Yijiong was a little dumbfounded: "You are in charge now. If the original tribe is willing to follow, you can continue to take them with you. As for rewards, everyone who goes out to fight this time will be rewarded."

As soon as these words came out, especially the last sentence.

Yang Gong spoke at the right time and flattered me just right: "On behalf of my subordinates, I would like to thank the king for your kindness!"

Xu Jin and the others also reacted and thanked him together.

All the distinguished generals present imitated his example and thanked him.

After finishing Luo Xiaolin's military show, King Zhu immediately visited the army in person and announced the reward on the spot.

Anyone who goes to war this time will be rewarded with five acres of land.All those who died in battle were given pension money, and the pension money was distributed at the rate of fifty guan per person.If there are still gains before death in battle, the number of heads plus sixteen guans will be distributed.

In fact, it was a copy of the war death pension from the Qing court at the same time. It seemed to be the same, and even a little cheap.

But don't forget, King Zhu can actually get money and land.Unlike the Qing Dynasty, after several waves of asking for cards, one-tenth of the money would finally be in the hands of the soldiers, which would be regarded as a kind act.

After the reward was read out, the whole army was excited.Even those Fujian naval forces who had only surrendered for a month and were still a little uneasy, now have their hearts restored.This King Zhu is really righteous. If he dies in battle, he will receive a full pension, and if he wins, he will receive a reward.

Not to mention that they are much stronger than the imperial court, even Shi Junmen is not so good to them!Shi Junmen would only give out generous rewards before a battle, and he would still give out rewards at ordinary times.

This was also the basis for the ancient generals to lead their troops. It was not all out of greed, but the ancient generals felt that if the soldiers were too rich, they would be reluctant to sacrifice their lives.As everyone knows, if they don’t even have enough to eat, how can they expect the soldiers at the bottom to die?
On the day of the victory, the whole army was given extra meals.In addition to no wine, they had plenty of meat, vegetables and rice, and even the prisoners in the Fourth Town who had not gone to war were also benefited from it.

The army stayed in Ahou City for two days after the war, mainly to collect statistics on the victory, and to bury the bones of the enemy and friendly forces who died in the battle.It's July now, and when it's hot, if the corpses are not handled properly, plague can easily occur.

After finishing these trivial matters, King Zhu led the army, escorted tens of thousands of enemy prisoners, and prepared to return to his home.

He was not in a hurry to recruit these enemy prisoners into the new army. On the one hand, there was a problem of food supply, and on the other hand, the composition of the prisoners was too mixed.There were Minnan soldiers, Chaoshan soldiers, and even Qing troops surrendering.

Fortunately, surrendered generals such as Huang Long and Chen Bi all died in the rebel army "by coincidence".

The trouble is a bit troublesome, but not too big.
