Chapter 1242 Jiaozi?Not even a dog!
Through money and interests, the middle and senior officers were satisfied and felt the preferential treatment of the imperial court, so they were very willing to cooperate with the imperial court.

But despite their cooperation, this move was considered a dangerous move.

Because when the grass-roots officers and soldiers who have made great achievements are eagerly waiting for the reward, but see boxes and boxes of handkerchiefs placed in front of them, their expressions immediately change, and they are very ugly.

"What is Jiaozi?"

"Isn't it money?"

"Can it be used if it's not a coin?"

"Why do I hear that there are not many people who recognize their children now?"

"what happened?"

The big guy is eagerly waiting for the money, ready to feel the feeling of heavy coins, even if it is iron money with relatively low value, but it is still money after all. tired.

The heavier, the happier, the more powerful.

This Jiaozi was lightly held in his hand, and he had no idea in his heart.

Jiaozi?

Not even a dog!

But the middle and high-ranking officers who handed them the handout spoke up.

"This is because the imperial court considers that you are working hard to march and fight, and it will be inconvenient to carry too much iron money, so it is used to give you children. Why, the imperial court can still deceive you and not give you reward money?"

The big guy was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to confront Shangfeng openly, so he could only mumble in a low voice.

"It's not the first time I've been deceived..."

"What did you say?"

A commander glared and walked to the soldier whose voice was not so low. He slapped him down, and it hurt his head. He immediately squatted down and covered his head with bared teeth.

"Stop talking nonsense! You still don't understand the understanding of the court? You have to take Shen's dead money? Then I won't be able to run away and I will whip it to death. Believe it or not? I don't know what it is!"

The commander said, still feeling uneasy, so he kicked the soldier again, kicking him to the ground.

"The court's consideration! His Majesty's consideration! All of you must know! All of you must understand! The court cares for your heart, you can't misunderstand! You can't treat your heart as a donkey! A bunch of idiots! Really want money? If you want it, come to me. Take it here! I'll give you a box! You bring it back to me alone, or I'll kill you if you can't carry it back! Who is coming?"

He looked fiercely at the grass-roots officers and soldiers under his command, but when he saw this group of people, they were like frightened ostriches.

So far, the commander is satisfied.

"That's right! One or two of them are like they've never seen money. The more victories you've won, the less you've earned? How come you haven't done burning, killing and looting? What's in the baggage of each one? I don't even talk about you, and you are still greedy for this small bargain?
Besides, this is issued by Wu Xianggong of the Privy Council. If you don't believe it, do you still believe Wu Xianggong?If you don't even believe Wu Xianggong, will there be anyone who is worth believing in that day? "

What he said was true.

The soldiers did not trust the imperial court and civil servants, but they had a certain sense of trust in Wu Lin.

Although Wu Lin leads the troops with strict military rules, he should give a lot of points. Following this rule for a long time is a relatively special existence in the past Western Army and the current military system, and is very trustworthy.

As for the rest...

Burning, killing, and looting after winning battles is everyone's traditional skill, and it's a benefit everyone should get, so everyone basically makes a small profit, and a few people are lucky, or even make a big fortune.

Of course, the ones who earn the most are the officers, especially the middle and senior officers.

According to their status, the officers can get the most valuable things in the city. Even if the soldiers grab it, the officers will be able to get it in their hands in a few days.

Middle and high-ranking officers make big money, while lower-level officers make small money. If they don't get enough money, they focus on what is in the hands of their soldiers.

During the post-war rest period, a large number of grass-roots officers used their powers to explicitly and secretly require their soldiers to hand over some of the spoils to him.

The big-headed soldiers who understand the truth know how to avoid this reasonable [non-combat attrition], so they are very honest and handed over a lot of spoils that should belong to them.

As a result, the size of the spoils of the bottom-tier soldiers has shrunk.

Therefore, the court reward really cannot be regarded as a small sum of money for them. This money that should belong to them can't really get it now, and they are not happy.

The newly printed Jiaozi were held in their hands and fluttered lightly. Looking at the incomprehensible patterns on the top, the soldiers were always uneasy, thinking about how to turn these papers into real money.

Among the entire Song army, there was one group that was particularly dissatisfied with Jiaozi rewarding money.

Group of meritorious soldiers.

The Song army dispatched 4 people to suppress the rebellion. In the first wave, all the basic rewards were given to each leader at least [-] iron coins, and some leader soldiers were special. They had battle achievements in their hands and additional rewards, based on their achievements The number of extra rewards is relatively large.

That's not a hundred dollars, it's a few dozen dollars or even dozens of dollars.

large number.

It was a real struggle. I originally hoped to get a wave of money to motivate myself, and then I asked someone to send it back to my family, so that my family could improve their lives. 's cross.

Because of the lack of combat effectiveness of the uprising army, there are not a lot of Song Jun who have achieved military exploits in their hands. The reward based on the military exploits that this group should have received is the big head, but the big head instantly became a short one.

Full of anticipation and a sense of honor instantly turned into cholesterol, one or two would be more depressing.

But Shangfeng said all the words, and they couldn't say anything. If they went on, it was estimated that military law would be enforced, and people would die.

I dare not say it, but the anger and dissatisfaction in my heart cannot go away.

After this wave of rewards, the middle and senior officers obviously found that the army's combat enthusiasm and morale had dropped significantly.

Song Jun, whose morale was high because of the victory, suddenly became a little decadent. He was not active in marching, and struggled in battle. He refused to travel in the rain and snow, and his mood was quite negative.

In the face of this collective emotion, most of the middle and senior officers did not dare to do much.

Because they themselves know that this matter is not authentic to the court, especially for those soldiers who have made outstanding contributions.

For ordinary soldiers, one hundred iron coins is better than nothing, but soldiers who have made meritorious deeds should get only a few, a dozen or even dozens of coins, which is a lot of money in exchange for hard work.

In exchange for them, they are probably full of resentment.

Therefore, after the release of Jiaozi, the attack efficiency and frequency of the Song army dropped significantly. Many soldiers who had made military exploits before began to passively avoid the battle. fish tactics.

Not only the soldiers, but also the grass-roots officers whose interests are equally damaged also turn a blind eye to this, let the top soldiers under their command do things, wait for the peak to ask them, and then pretend to reprimand them, asking them to be honest, Don't mess around.

But when Shangfeng left, everything was business as usual, and he even secretly hinted that his subordinates would continue to be lazy and fish, and never let the court feel better.

As a result, the progress of the counter-insurgency war suddenly slowed down, which was a big blow to Zhao Buxi's anti-insurgency war expectations.

However, this is not all the negative effects of this matter, and more serious negative effects are quietly happening.
