Late Tang

The time has entered the beginning of December, and the January training period of the Dengzhou United Army has also arrived.The fourth battalion of Dengzhou has been inspected by Cui Yunqing, the governor and united envoy, and Song Wen, Marquis of Duyu, and other officials. Three days after the time has been set, the united soldiers of the four counties will return to their respective counties, and then they will start training and fighting while farming. Participate in the mission of assisting in the prevention and suppression of bandits.Although there are still three days to stay, the training tasks have already ended, and the three days are for rest. Since the united soldiers performed well during the inspection, Cui Yunqing also specially ordered [-] pieces of silk to be pulled out from the warehouse as a reward. They also pulled [-] sheep, [-] pigs, and [-] altars of good wine to the Unity Camp.

For this reward, there are exceptions and there is no deduction. Everyone in Dengzhou official circles already knows that Cui Inspector is about to be promoted to Jiedu Marching Army Sima and Yingtian Ambassador, and Song Wen, Marquis of Yu, the united soldier, will take over as Inspector.Regarding this change, everyone understood that Cui Jieshi and Song Jieshuai had finally teamed up.No one wants to offend Cui before he leaves office, let alone Song Wen is still there after Cui leaves.Therefore, the rewards were all given out in full. Each united soldier was rewarded with three bolts of silk, and there was also a special five buckets of rice per person.

Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, the united soldiers who have been away from home for more than a month are finally going home, and they have received such a large reward, all of them are extremely happy.The cheers of the young solidarity soldiers were everywhere in the camp. Many solidarity soldiers were already packing their luggage, and some of them went to the city to buy gifts for relatives at home.The entire camp was full of laughter, except for the camp in Zuoyidu, Wendeng Camp.

Early this morning, brothers from other camps and capitals had already received all the rewards, even wine and meat.But Zuo Yidu's camp had a strange atmosphere. Seeing noon, Zuo Yidu not only didn't give out any rewards, but also ordered everyone not to leave the camp.The people below were talking about it, and they didn't know what was going on.They don't think that the general will deduct their rewards. After all, everyone knows that although Li Jing, the general, is also from Qingning Township, he is lucky. A huge sum of money.

Seeing that it was time for lunch, the horn sounded for lunch in Zuo Yidu's barracks.Everyone assembled and lined up to the kitchen, and as soon as they approached, they smelled a strong fragrance.As far as I could see, there was a row of fires burning in the open space outside the kitchen, and ten roasted sheep were lined up in a row. The skin color was golden and the sesame oil was dripping.Many people were swallowed by the scene and the strong fragrance.

However, although everyone swallowed their saliva while looking at the roasted whole lamb, the effect of the one-month training camp was still good, and they still did not forget to maintain their formation.

Li Jing nodded in satisfaction to Zhang Hong next to him, and Zhang Hong immediately came out with a piece of silk cloth, and shouted at the crowd: "Brothers in Zuoyidu, today, Cui Tuanlian will reward everyone with money, food, wine and meat. Each person has three bolts of silk, five buckets of rice, and two catties of mutton, three catties of pork, and two catties of wine. However, Li Jiangtou is benevolent, and we will give out a sum of money and silk to reward all brothers generously. The brothers in Zuo Yidu will be rewarded with two bolts of silk and five buckets of rice. In addition, there will be ten roasted whole lambs, three mouthfuls of fat pigs, and enough wine. Today, everyone, eat and drink as much as you want!"

The brothers in Zuo Yidu all applauded in unison, originally they were worried that the reward would be withheld, but unexpectedly not only did it not lose one point, but doubled it.No one expected that Li Jiangtou paid out of his own pocket, and gave out so much money to reward everyone.At that moment, everyone applauded loudly and thanked Li Jing in unison.

Li Jing stepped forward with a smile, and kept pressing down with his hands, motioning for everyone to stop.

"Brothers, fellow township party members! I, Li Jing, are children of Qingning Township, Wendeng County, just like everyone else, and I was destined to be a united soldier with you all to come to Dengzhou for training. Ma Shaolao is a brother who stirs things up. After more than a month of getting along, it is very unforgettable. If there is a chance, I, Li Jing, sincerely hope to be with you all the time and be brothers forever."

"Brothers forever!" Many people shouted from below.Following Li Jing for the past month, Zuo Yidu's brothers complained at the beginning because Zuo Yi trained harder than the others.But they also knew that although they had three meals a day for the past month, at most they cooked cakes, vegetables and porridge, but the food in Zuoyidu was much better than others.Although the training is tiring, they eat three meals a day, and there is still meat and fish. This food is better than what they have eaten at home for more than ten or twenty years.

Especially those who followed Li Jing and killed Feng Yanqing last time felt the benefits of following Li Jing.The last time I ambushed Feng Yanqing, although I took a risk, in the end, only a few people suffered minor injuries, but in the end, each of them got a huge reward of one hundred bolts of silk.

Even in normal times, if you train well and perform well, you can get rewards ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars.Although they have only been with Li Jing for a few months, everyone has already formed the concept that following General Li will have meat to eat, and following General Li will reward them.

Li Jing pressed the gesture again, motioning for everyone to stop.Then he said with a sigh: "I really want to be brothers with everyone forever, but I have received a new appointment, and I will go to Shamen Town as a town general soon. Shamen Town was originally a garrison with only 50 people. Now I To take over as the town general, I have invited Coach Lin, Vice General Wang, Zhang Yuhou, and Team Lin to take up the post together. However, my brothers are still 250 short. Song Du Yuhou gave me If so, I can take Zuo Yidu there, but I will ask for your opinions in advance today. I am very happy that everyone is willing to go with me, Li Jing. If there are those who are not willing to go, I will not force them."

Everyone listened quietly, and at this time, a buzzing conversation began.One of the team leaders asked aloud: "If you go to Shamen Town, you are going to be a garrison soldier. The garrison soldier only has one round every six years, right?"

Li Jing nodded and said loudly: "Brother Liu Heigou is right. If you go, you will be a garrison soldier and you will not be able to go home for six years. This time, if you go to Shamen Town, not only you will follow me, but even your family members will have to Let's go together."

Hearing this, many people hesitated, Li Jing is a good person, and there is meat to follow Li Jing.But if it is to serve as a garrison, it is another matter.Everyone knows that garrisoning soldiers is hard, not only the place where they are stationed is remote and hard, but also the food and wages are often insufficient, and it is common to not have enough to eat.As long as the family can survive, few are willing to eat this bowl of rice.

Everyone's reaction was already in Li Jing's expectation. He smiled and said, "Of course, if everyone is willing to go with me, Li Jing, I will never treat you badly. All those who are willing to go will be given a settling fee immediately. Twenty bolts of silk and two stones of rice. In addition, when you arrive in Shamen Town, you will be given two liters of rice every day, at least one meat per day, and you can also receive two guan of monthly salary, one stone of rice, which can ensure that your whole family can eat Serve the cooked rice."

As soon as the words fell, the united soldiers below immediately became excited.These united soldiers are all from Qingning Township, and most of them are farmers.The situation of everyone's family is similar. In a good year, the family has worked hard for a year, and they can barely make ends meet.Once there is a natural disaster or something, most people have to go into debt or even go out to beg for food to survive the famine.They were ordered to be a united soldier, and they had to be self-sufficient in equipment and so on. Only the daily food and drink were provided by the government with food, rice and pickles, not to mention their salary.

But now Li Jing's generous conditions for recruiting them to serve as garrison soldiers have moved everyone's hearts. They will be given two liters of rice and meat dishes every day.There are still two guanxi and one stone of rice a month, and one person can already support a family.

Li Jing continued to speak slowly: "Of course, after your family members go with them, it is impossible to just sit and eat. At that time, I will give each family some fields for you to cultivate. And, in the future, there will be more There is a workshop, and your family members can also go to help and earn wages according to what they earn. Although it is said that I want to leave my hometown and guard the frontier, such a good job does not happen every day. This time I only recruit 250 People, if they are full, they don’t want it.”

Everyone was excited and eager to try. At this time, the gang leader asked again: "We have nothing to worry about following Lieutenant Li, but I heard that there are many pirates at sea. What if you get injured and disabled in the battle with pirates?" manage?"

"That's a good question. If there is a war, there are rewards for everything. In addition, the soldiers were seriously injured three horses and lightly injured two horses. Wu Huo and other soldiers were seriously injured five horses and lightly injured three horses. Those who died in the battle, Wu Huo Twenty bolts of silk are grown, and ten bolts are given to soldiers who died in battle. In addition, in addition to the compensation for those who died in battle, there will be another ten bolts given to the widows, old and young.

Ordinary soldiers injured two bolts of silk lightly, seriously wounded three bolts of silk, and killed ten bolts of silk in battle, all with clearly marked prices.This price was not set by Li Jing himself, but was directly copied from Guan Jian's reward standard for military exploits and casualties.In his opinion, these prices are quite low, and a human life is only worth ten bolts of silk.But in the eyes of these young people in front of him, they were a little surprised.What they didn't know was that not only were ten bolts of silk dead, but three were seriously injured, and two even were slightly injured.This is just the lowest level of ordinary soldiers. If you can become a corporal leader or team leader, you can increase a lot.

Many people were counting with their fingers, and then smiled happily.Someone laughed and said: "Li Jiangtou will send us the settlement allowance first, so we won't be afraid that we will regret not going?"

"I treat everyone as brothers. If you don't go after taking the relocation allowance, it can only mean that I have misunderstood you, and I can't recognize you clearly. How about it, is anyone willing to go to Shamen Town with me?"

"I'm willing to go!" Liu Heigou was the first to sign up. Zhang Hong happily registered his name. Then Liu Heigou stepped forward to press a bright red handprint, and smiled and went to the side to collect the twenty The settling fee for a piece of silk and two stones of rice was spent.

With the first one, the people behind began to scramble, knowing that Li Jing needed 250 people, even the first one from the left, they were enough, but they still worried that if they signed up late, they would lose their share.When everyone was desperately signing up, Liu Heigou, who was the first to sign up, had already received his share of the settlement allowance, but at this time he still didn't walk away, and instead leaned in front of Li Jing and whispered: "Captain, I I want to ask, there are two elder brothers and two younger brothers in my family, the eldest brother is thirty, and the youngest brother is sixteen, do you think I can bring them to eat meat with the captain?"

"Father and son soldiers, brothers who fight tigers. Well, as long as they are willing, the conditions are suitable, of course there is no problem." Li Jing laughed loudly. For his first batch of subordinates, he had already made up his mind to get a whole team of soldiers. A soldier of the township party in Qingning Township.
