Chapter 65 Expansion
It was three o'clock at night, and in the lobby of the Bozhou County Government Office, Second Brother Gao changed back into his cotton armor and wore the iron helmet old man Wang gave him. He put the seized iron armor on the shelf and hung it up.

Seeing him touching and touching, Zhao Zhuzi couldn't help saying: "Second brother, if you don't want to part with it, then let's go through it."

Gao Yihuan shook his head, "This armor is good, but it's a little smaller and uncomfortable, so let's return it to Huang Qianhu. He will guard Bozhou in the future, and it can be regarded as a show of favor to him."

Mountain pattern armor is a rare armor in terms of workmanship, appearance and flexibility. Wearing it on the body can make people look mighty and extraordinary. This kind of armor often appears on door gods in folk New Year paintings.

Gao Yihuan touched the mountain-pattern armor again, then waved and said, "Go, let's go back to Luyi."

After he finished speaking, he led a few people out of the county government office, got on the yellow-haired horse, looked up at the Bozhou county government office, clamped the horse's belly, and led the people out from Beicheng.

Brother Gao told Ma Yuanwai that he would leave Bozhou early in the morning, but he and Liu Liangzuo were cooperating for the first time, so he still kept an eye on it, so he quietly left Bozhou in the middle of the night with a torch.

Bozhou is close to Luyi, and a group of people walked in the middle of the night and returned to Luyi at noon that day.

Brother Gao asked everyone to go back to the camp to rest, but he first went to see the wounded who came back first, and found that although Zhao Daxian and the others bandaged them according to the method he said, some people still died of infection.

Brother Gao couldn't do anything about it, and he didn't know much about it, so he found some wine and salt water, cleaned the wounds of the remaining wounded, and then wrapped them with cotton cloth again.

After inspecting the wounded, Second Brother Gao asked Yu Yinglong again about the situation of the fields on both sides of the dam and the vortex, and he went back to the room to rest after learning that everything was going smoothly.

In the early morning of the next day, just after dawn, Gao Yihuan called all the soldiers, miscellaneous soldiers and logistics team to the school grounds, and made a summary of his trip to Bozhou.

Although the fight against Bozhou this time was not a big battle, many miscellaneous soldiers even just waved the flag and shouted, but the team was pulled out to practice after all, and they had a certain amount of experience.

At this time, the soldiers and the miscellaneous soldiers lined up and stood in line on the school field. Gao Yihuan walked up, glanced at the school field, and then made a summary, announcing: "This time the battle of Bozhou, all brothers have contributed , and you should be rewarded for your hard work, so I decided to pay all the brothers, and stipulated that, in the future, the annual salary of soldiers is 18 taels, and the annual salary of miscellaneous soldiers and logistics teams is 10 taels. This is set by Marshal Qi standard, I hope you will be as invincible as Marshal Qi's soldiers."

In fact, Second Brother Gao doesn't have much experience in commanding troops. He only relies on Qi Jiguang's military books "New Book of Ji Xiao" and "Records of Military Training" borrowed from the old man. .

Originally, Second Brother Gao only gave soldiers one tael per month, but now it is equivalent to an increase of five taels of silver per month. Miscellaneous soldiers used to have no pay, but now they also receive eight taels of silver per month.This level is already the same as that of the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers often have not many soldiers who can get their hands because of the private deduction by the generals.

From this point of view, the treatment of the second brother Gao is higher than that of the officers and soldiers, but this is actually only on the surface. If you look closely, you will find that the treatment of the two is really not comparable.The social structure of the area where the officers and soldiers are active is stable, the transportation of materials is convenient, and the production has not been damaged, so the purchasing power of silver is strong. Although the second brother Gao pays money, but due to the lack of supplies, the price of goods soars, and the soldiers get it The silver, in fact, can not buy much.

In this ghost place of Henan, it is not easy to have enough to eat. The soldiers immediately became happy when they heard about the increase in salary.

At this time, Second Brother Gao said solemnly: "Since you have been paid, you are no longer bandits or thieves, but soldiers of my Gao Yihuan. You have to abide by my military laws and work for me. Do you understand?"

The people below are actually not very clear about the essential difference between getting paid and not getting paid. They don’t understand that after getting paid, it is tantamount to establishing a contractual relationship, which is a key node in their transformation from rogues to soldiers.

The rogues survive by plundering, while the army relies on fixed money, rations and responsibilities. Now the second brother pays them first, and then teaches them their responsibilities and missions later.

"Understood!" With food, drink, and money, everyone was naturally happy, and responded loudly, their faces full of joy.

Gao Yi glanced at them with a smile, and his face was also covered with a fatherly smile, but he hummed coldly in his heart, "You guys laugh so happily, do you think my money is easy to get, I will let you These turtle grandchildren are happy for a while, when I am free, I won't fuck you to death!"

"Okay!" Gao Yihuan laughed and waved his hands to make the soldiers quiet, and then continued: "I'm talking about the salary, and now I'm talking about the rewards. This time there are many brothers who fought bravely, and each brigade is responsible for the merits of each post." According to the statistics, I want to reward the sentry team first, and then reward individuals."

Zhao Daxian and Wu Shizhao stepped forward immediately, clasped their fists solemnly and said: "I accept orders from humble officials."

Gao Yihuan nodded, then waved his hand and said: "Okay, there is no training today, and all sentry teams will bring them back to sum up their experience in fighting Bozhou this time."

Then he said to Zhao Daxian and Wu Shizhao: "You two come with me."

After Gao Yihuan finished speaking, the soldiers were taken back to the camp by the guards. Gao Yihuan, Zhao Daxian and the others returned to the county government office and sat down in the lobby.

"Da Xian, Shi Zhao, we have enough money and food now, and I plan to expand the number of soldiers to 1000. You two need to strengthen the training of miscellaneous soldiers, and all of them will be replenished as soldiers in two months." After Gao Yihuan entered the lobby, his buttocks As soon as he sat down, he said to the two of them.

"Is this why Second Brother pays the miscellaneous soldiers?" Zhao Daxian asked.

Wu Shizhao frowned, "Captain, if the expansion is so fast, the establishment and officers will be a little confused."

Gao Yihuan is only a captain, and according to the establishment, he only has three command brigades. If the establishment expands, a few more command brigades will have to be promoted. But if this is the case, what will Zhao Daxian and Wu Shizhao, the two old masters, do, and what will the other old brothers do?
"I'm going to let you two be deputy captains. Of course, this is just our own name. In addition, the following senior department chiefs will be promoted to the brigade. Of course, this is only our internal practice. Your official position on Chuangwang's side is still the same. It hasn’t changed.” Gao Yihuan had thought about it a long time ago, he set up a deputy captain himself, and there was no limit on the number of people in charge of the brigade, department head, and sentry head, so that he could expand his staff and let him be a captain. But there is a general establishment.

If he did this, he would definitely not be able to do it in the official army. There were military supervisors, town governors, and even imperial spies to monitor him, but in the army, there was no problem.

If it is done like this, then it is not impossible, Wu Shizhao and Zhao Daxian will lead more than 100 people, and the expansion will be tripled. Although they do not have the name of captain, they have the reality of captain.

Gao Yihuan saw that the two of them looked at each other with joy on their faces, and he continued: "I will secretly raise you one level first, and when I become a general, you will directly change your name to captain."

"Second brother, I have no objection. I will follow my advice." Zhao Daxian immediately expressed his opinion, and Wu Shizhao also nodded.

Before, Gao Yihuan didn't have enough money and food, so he had problems raising three hundred soldiers. Now that he has money and food, he has also opened up a way to make money, and expanding the army is inevitable.Expanding the number of soldiers to 2000 is only the first step. He has to recruit more than 3000 miscellaneous soldiers to increase his strength to [-], which is exactly the strength of a battalion of the Ming army.

"Okay! Then you two will focus on training in the near future." Gao Yihuan ordered, then looked at Wu Shizhao and said, "The Ming army who came from Bozhou, you ask Sun Yucheng to settle down their families, and then you have a good talk with them Let’s talk, the treatment is the same as that of Jin Xiangang and the others. In addition, I plan to bring up Jin Xiangang as a deputy captain, and you can help me ventilate the old brothers.”

Now the second brother has a lot of officers of the Ming army who serve him by means of employment. The second brother really wants to stay with these people, so he decided to mention Jin Xiangang, so that these officers can see the hope of the future and feel that following him is also a good idea. That's right, but I'm afraid that the former old people will not be happy. They are still the head of the department and the head of the post. If an outsider climbs on top of them, there will definitely be resistance in their hearts.

Even Zhao Daxian and Wu Shizhao are probably not too happy, but the second brother Gao knows that if the team is to expand, it must absorb talents, tap talents, and reuse talents, so even if the old brothers are not happy, he still has to do this, otherwise his small group If the exclusivity is too strong, it will be impossible to expand.

If Gao Yihuan promoted Jin Xiangang without saying a word, Zhao Daxian and Wu Shizhao would definitely feel uncomfortable, but now that he told them first, and asked them to help ventilate the old brother, the two felt much better. Somewhat happy, because this means that the relationship between them is very close, even if Jin Xiangang mentioned it, the relationship is still not as close as they are.

"Second brother, don't worry, I'll talk to the old brother!" Zhao Daxian promised.

(Thanks for the 500 of the old dream, 6014223 of 500, and the reward of the passed number, thank you for your collection and recommendation)
