Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 125 Military Merit Rewards
To the southwest of Dalinghe Fort, the battlefield between Siding Mountain and Zijing Mountain.

At this moment, Jiannu had fled far away, and the Ming army had also died down, but the entire battlefield was still full of jubilation.

In this battle, they finally defeated the mighty Jiannu, and they were overjoyed!
Taichang was also very happy, but he couldn't laugh in the face of the battlefield full of corpses.

In this battle, the Jiannu infantry was defeated, at least half of them were killed. Although the Jiannu cavalry escaped, at least [-] were killed.

In other words, they killed at least [-] Jiannu.

The military merit reward for 300 slaves is [-] million taels!

He can't go back on his word, the military reward must be given out, the question, how can he get 300 million taels in a while?

Also, on my side, the pawns on the two wings suffered heavy casualties, with at least [-] killed.

He can't let these soldiers die for the country in vain. There must be pensions for the soldiers who died in battle, and each person can't be less than 100 taels.

In other words, he had to prepare at least 500 million taels.

This kind of money must not be reckless, otherwise, the morale of the army will be greatly hit.

The promised military rewards are not issued, and there is no compensation for dying for the country. Who will give you your life?

The question is, how to distribute the 500 million taels?

He frowned and pondered for a while, and finally came up with a solution.

This method is to pay in installments!
It would be impossible for him to scrape together 500 million taels at once, but with Wang Chengen's efficiency in selling land, it would not be a problem to get 50 taels a month.

The way he came up with was to pay [-]% a month and pay off in ten months.

Alas, there is no way, the money is always not enough.

Not long after, Zu Dashou, Yuan Chonghuan, Jin Qiyi and others who were stationed in the Dalinghe Fort also ran over, with more or less regret on their faces.

Originally, Zu Dashou and Yuan Chonghuan wanted to go out of the city to join the battle, but Taichang was afraid that Jiannu would take the opportunity to rush into Dalinghe Fort, which would cause them to attack the city, which would cause serious trouble.

Therefore, just to be on the safe side, Taichang ordered them to guard Dalinghe Fort obediently.

Alas, what a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds, Zu Dashou, Yuan Chonghuan and others felt a little regretful that it was gone.

At this time, the generals participating in the battle were all very excited, especially Zu Dabi, who even took off the armor and clothes on top of him at this moment, patted his chest and looked up to the sky and laughed.

Hahahaha, killing is so cool, so cool!
After a while, the Jinyiwei detectives from the northwest came to report that all Jiannu had escaped across the Daling River and cut off the chains of the pontoon bridge.

In other words, it is impossible for Jiannu to return to the carbine again.

After thinking about it for a while, Taichang summoned Shenwu Battalion, Shenji Battalion and [-] imperial guards, led a group of generals, and went straight to the northwest.

Soon, the army arrived at the place where the Jiannu floating bridge was located.

Taichang looked at the battered warships and rafts, and then at the row of temporary wharves opposite, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Jiannu and sailors?"

Sun Chengzong sighed slightly: "Yes, Gaizhouwei, Fuzhouwei and Jinzhouwei are all coastal defense stations. Although there are no large warships, there are still a lot of medium-sized warships and small warships. Alas, the slave cavalry The speed is really too fast, when Weichen arrived in Liaodong, they had already rushed over to take down all these guards, and they also snatched all the warships."

Taichang asked again: "Didn't Denglai have a navy? Why didn't you let Yuan Keli lead the navy to help?"

Sun Chengzong said helplessly: "After all, Denglai's main purpose is to prevent pirates and Japanese pirates. The equipment of warships is not as much as that of Liaodong Town. Moreover, sailing ships across the sea rely solely on ocean currents and wind directions, and small and medium-sized warships like these manually paddled If a ship is not driven and protected by a sailboat, it will simply not be able to cross the sea, and the humble minister has no choice."

This means that the Denglai Navy is no match for the Jiannu Navy now!

It has to be said that this is a great irony.

How majestic the Daming Navy was at the beginning, how much Zheng He's seven voyages to the West, and how much the barbarians admired them.

Well now, it's all little wrecks!
Alas, forget it, the affairs of the navy cannot be settled overnight, the most urgent task now is to clean up Jiannu.

This time the battle of Dalinghe Fort ended with a big victory, as for what to do next, it would depend on Jiannu's situation.

The reason why Taichang led his army to this place was because he heard that Jiannu fled too hastily, and before they had time to completely destroy the pontoon bridge, they cut off the iron chain on the opposite side, and then ran away.

This iron chain is held together by iron rings one by one, so it is not difficult to cut it off and connect it again.

In other words, it is not very difficult to restore this pontoon bridge.

At this moment, many infantry of the Shenwu Battalion who are familiar with water have rushed to the other side of the river on sheepskin rafts and cowhide rafts. They are using ropes to pull the broken iron chain to the opposite side.

As long as the iron chains are pulled to the opposite bank to connect them, and then the wooden rafts washed away on the pontoon bridge are repaired, the pontoon bridge can pass carriages and horses again.

This is really not difficult. Tens of thousands of soldiers from the Shenwu Battalion worked together, and the broken pontoon bridge was repaired in less than an hour.

Seeing this, Taichang ordered decisively: "Luo Sigong, take all the Jinyiwei scouts across the river, and find the main slave builder as soon as possible."

Luo Sigong said "obey the order", and then he rode his horse and galloped to where his subordinates were.

After a while, a team of Jinyiwei rode their horses across the pontoon bridge and disappeared under the opposite river embankment.

Taichang thought for a while, and then ordered: "The whole army camps on the spot and waits for orders."

He will not let Jiannu run away at this moment, because he has already ordered that the injured frontier soldiers and guards be replaced in the Dalinghe Fort, and the 20 infantry in the Dalinghe Fort After the addition, his army has reached [-].

If Jiannu dared to stay west of the Daliao River, he would definitely lead an army to encircle it!

It's a pity that Jian Nu seems to have been scared out of his wits.

In the evening of that day, Luo Sigong sent someone to report that Jiannu had crossed the Shuangtaizi River and destroyed the pontoon bridge.

The next afternoon, Luo Sigong sent another message that Jiannu had crossed the Daliao River and destroyed the pontoon bridge.

These guys ran so fast, they ran nearly [-] miles in less than two days!

Jiannu cavalry is nothing more than Jiannu infantry, I am afraid that their legs are about to break.

At this time, we can no longer explore, because across the Daliaohe River is Haizhou Guard and Gaizhou Guard. Jiannu has two guard cities as his support, so he will definitely not run away again. There will be heavy casualties.

After Taichang received the news, he ordered Luo Sigong to stop chasing him and just patrol the west bank of the Daliao River.

Immediately afterwards, he issued an order to recruit Sun Chengzong and a group of generals to the commander's account.

Everyone is really happy right now, especially the generals, the head of a Jiannu is 100 taels, among them, the one who kills the most kills at least dozens of them!

Regarding this, Taichang was a little dumbfounded.

He really didn't expect to kill so many Jiannu in World War I. The last time Man Gui tried his best to kill tens of thousands of Jiannu, he had almost earned the more than 100 million taels that Wu Yangchun sent later.

This time, more than 3 Jiannu were killed, more than 300 million taels, and there were pensions for the fallen soldiers. Where would he get so much money in a while?
Perhaps this is the trouble of happiness.

In this battle, killing so many Jian slaves is great!
The following military merit rewards and pensions, uh, are really a bit of that.

After pondering for a while, he slightly raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and then he said loudly: "We won this battle, and I am very relieved. Now, I will tell you about the military rewards and the soldiers who died in battle." pension."

Well, this question is indeed the one that everyone is most concerned about, and everyone is listening attentively.

Taichang went on to say: "I have already said, a slave head, 100 taels, this must be issued, and we must not treat the fallen soldiers badly, similarly, a pension of 100 taels per person, this must not be less. "

All the generals couldn't help but dance with joy when they heard the words.

Taichang went on to say: "You also know that the imperial court's income is less than 500 million taels a year. After the necessary expenses and disaster relief money and food are taken out, it is basically gone. The military rewards and the pensions of the fallen soldiers must come from me. Find a way, to tell everyone, I won’t be able to gather these millions of taels for a while, so I thought of a compromise, whether it’s military rewards or pensions for fallen soldiers, I will pay everyone every month. [-]% paid in ten months, what do you think?"

this!

Everyone was stunned.

However, soon, Man Gui cupped his hands and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the general can't speak, but the general knows that the emperor's favor for us frontier soldiers is nothing to say. The previous military rewards are one You may not be able to see the shadow for a year. The emperor can guarantee ten months to pay in such a difficult situation. It is not said that the last general will thank the emperor for his kindness on behalf of the soldiers. To be honest, if it is not for the morale of the army, the money will be real. I don't want the emperor to say goodbye, the last general really doesn't want to embarrass the emperor."

Seeing this, He Kegang hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty has not said anything about his favor to us. I will thank the Emperor for your kindness on behalf of his soldiers."

Qi Jin, Qin Liangyu, Cao Wenzhao and other leading generals quickly expressed their opinions, and the matter of military merit rewards and compensation for the fallen soldiers was settled.
