Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 111
Chapter 110

One hundred soldiers were divided into nine rows, and Yang Chao led four personal soldiers and stood opposite them.

"Zhang Ergun!"

Yang Chao held a piece of paper, which was a list that was counted.

"To!"

In the middle row, a high-spirited and upright young soldier in a neat mandarin duck battle jacket responded.

"Exit!"

"Yes!"

The soldier immediately turned right, took two steps forward, walked out of the queue, then turned left, then ran forward, from the queue, ran to the front, continued to turn right and left, facing Yang Chao head-on.

He held his head high, with uncontrollable pride and anticipation on his face.

He already knew that Yang Chao would reward him because he had made great achievements in killing the enemy.

"Zhang Ergun, beheaded half a rank, rewarded with 15 taels of silver! Promoted to corps leader!"

As usual in the water camp, there is no such rank as a corporal leader. Yang Chao appointed him himself, but there are no external appointments, five people are in the team, and no external appointment means that the corporal leader is also one of these five people.

Unlike teams that are peripherals, a team has 12 people under its jurisdiction, but at this time each team has been picked out with a best pawn, so there is a shortage of one person.

"Thank you, my lord reward!"

Zhang Ergun happily took the money from Yang Chao, saluted and thanked him loudly.

"You're welcome, you earned it."

Yang Chao said very seriously.

He hoped that soldiers would have the idea that their promotions and rewards were all due to their hard work, not appreciation from their superiors, so that soldiers would be less tempted to take shortcuts, and would work hard to train and kill the enemy fighting.

This is the difference between the Qin army and the Ming army.

"Enroll!"

Yang Chao said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Zhang Ergun saluted again, then ran back to the queue.

"Wang Heli!"

"To!"

……

All the rewarded soldiers came out to receive the reward one by one, with proud expressions on their faces, which was exactly what Yang Chao needed.

Yang Chao has experienced this kind of public rewards. From childhood to adulthood, he has received many small red flowers and awards. Sometimes just a small pencil case can make him happy for many days or even a whole day. semester.

Yang Chao knew that this kind of ceremony was very good for cultivating a sense of honor.

Through this kind of ceremony, correct concepts are established, and after everything is made public, everyone has a sense of trust in the rules.

"Wang Pu!"

"To!"

Finally Yang Chao called out Wang Pu.

"Wang Pu, the leader of the team, bravely killed the thief and charged and broke the enemy. He should make the first contribution, and he will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver first! Other rewards will be announced after the Ministry of War issues the document!"

Yang Chao shouted loudly, and handed over ten large silver ingots of ten taels to Wang Pu one by one.

Wang Pu was very excited, 100 taels of silver, this is the most money he has ever seen in his life, and what made him even more excited was that Yang Chao had already told him that he was going to be promoted to be the banner chief, and the papers of meritorious service had been handed in Yes, just wait for the above approval.

He is the first among the eight teams to be promoted to the flag general, and there will be hundreds of presidents, and even the general president waiting for him in the future.He is convinced of this, because this time, Yang Chao will probably be able to advance to Qian Zong by one level because of the beheading of the ninth rank this time. He has already taken a step ahead, and he is one step closer to Bazong than other teams.

Others were envious and dissatisfied, but they didn't feel unfair, because this was Wang Pu's credit for killing thieves, and no one would think it was inappropriate.

As for envy and dissatisfaction, it is human nature. I envy Wang Pu's luck, which allowed him to meet the Jiang bandits, and killed nine Jiang bandits without anyone dying. It seems that the Jiang bandits are nothing more than that. Can kill, as for dissatisfaction, many people think that the soldiers they train are no worse than Wang Pu's, especially many men have been overwhelming Wang Pu, but this time Wang Pu walked ahead of him, and they are even more unconvinced , When receiving the award, he kept drooping his face.

However, Yang Chao took the opportunity to proclaim loudly: "All the officers and soldiers who are brave enough to ascend first, charge to defeat the enemy, and be seen by all eyes, regardless of the number of heads, will be rewarded with [-] taels of silver first. .”

This is the method of awarding rewards in Qi Jiguang's military book. It was completely plagiarized by Yang Chao, and now it is read out publicly, so that everyone can clearly understand that there are other military merit systems related to it, and I have already said it. This time The purpose of saying this is to tell everyone that there are well-documented and rules to follow for rewarding Wang Pu.

"Last time I said that Wang Pu is a coward, that you are all cowards, and let a pig drive you around. Today, I apologize to the Wang Pu team in public. The Wang Pu team is not a coward, not a coward, he is A good man!"

Wang Pu's chest became more firm, his face was flushed red, and he felt a surge of blood.

"Now everyone applauds together, congratulating the Wang Pu team for leading the soldiers to kill the enemy!"

Yang Chao took the lead in applauding.

The way of applauding was not actually brought by Yang Chao. The ancient Chinese liked to express their emotions by applauding. I don’t know where it started. In fact, when Yang Chao first saw it, he was a little surprised. It was introduced to China from the West. Unexpectedly, the ancients have liked this method for a long time.

After taking the lead in applauding dozens of times, Yang Chao pressed his hands down to tell everyone to stop.

Wang Pu's face became more colorful.

Yang Chao continued: "Brothers, I will reward you for your merits and punish you for your mistakes. If you are a good man, follow me in the future, and you will have the opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. If you are a coward, get out of here as soon as possible. I won't raise them here. Bitch."

Then look around for a week, especially looking at the faces of each team.

"Many men, are you a coward?"

Yang Chao saw that many men were the most unconvinced, with gloomy faces.

"Back to the adults, the bidder is not a coward!"

Yang Chao said again: "Many men, are you convinced?"

Many men said: "Respond to the adult's words, mark it down, and mark it down!"

Many men blushed.

Yang Chao smiled and said, "Okay, if you don't accept it, I'll see you next time. There are so many bandits in Jiangxi, I'm afraid you won't dare to kill them!"

Many men's chests heaved and they couldn't speak out.

Yang Chao snorted, "Many men, tell me, the next time you meet Jiang bandits, do you dare to kill them?"

Many men finally said: "Dare, why don't you dare, even Wang Pu dares, and so does Lao Tzu!"

Many men were also extremely unconvinced, and even called themselves 'Lao Tzu' in front of Yang Chao.

Yang Chao didn't care, nodded and said, "Okay, I'm watching you."

Then he looked at the others.

"Sun Changfu, are you a coward?"...

After each team asked about it, they saw that everyone was dissatisfied and their enthusiasm was mobilized, as if they wished they could fight the Jiang bandits immediately.

Only then did Yang Chao let people continue to board the ship to transport the goods.

This time, Yang Chao didn't dare to be careless. In the past, the two teams had always exchanged between the two teams. This time, he directly let the fourth team board the boat.

And Wang Pu's team is also here, although they are already very tired after yesterday's fight, but now that they have actual combat experience, they are more at ease in Yang Chao.

In case of encountering Jiang bandits again, Yang Chao believed that the soldiers of the four teams, as well as Wang Pu's team that had actually fought, should be safe.

After getting on the boat, Yang Chao also learned the lesson from last time, and arranged people to watch him all the time. The last time he was attacked by Jiang bandits, any dead corner in defense would make you pay hard. bear the price.

Yang Chao found that among the four teams, except for Wang Pu's team who was relatively calm and calm, the other three teams were very active, looking around constantly, hoping to find traces of Jiang Bandits.

What Yang Chao didn't know was that the four teams of spearmen and the archers led by Li Wuliu who were staying in the barracks at this time were training very consciously even though no one was supervising them. Let the soldiers practice aiming with bows.

If it wasn't for the fact that everyone strained their arms from shooting too many arrows yesterday, Li Wuliu couldn't wait for these soldiers to practice drawing their bows. Now they can only hold the bows and arrows, straighten their arms, look at the target, and practice aiming.

Yang Chao delivered shopkeeper Mao's goods to Pukou as scheduled, loaded a cargo at Pukou smoothly, and rushed back before dark.

The journey was very calm, without any disturbances, not even a shadow on the river, let alone a Jiang bandit.

There were no Jiang bandits, and cargo ships were rarely seen. Even the occasional small boats, there were probably more people on them than goods.

To cross the river, many fleets now ask for escorts or escorts, otherwise they dare not enter the water, and the danger of bandits on the river is very serious.

The river was very calm for several days in a row, and Yang Chao did not follow across the river the next day, but went to Mr. Qian's house in the central part.

Jia Shilu, the general manager of Central China, was still as polite as last time, but he was not as excited as last time.

Yang Chao was not polite, and directly asked about military achievements.

Jia Shilu expressed great regret and told Yang Chao that his military achievements might be in vain.

Yang Chao was suddenly surprised. It was obvious that Jiang bandits were in serious trouble, so how could the imperial court not reward them for their merits at this time? !
"Master Jia, please think of a way."

Yang Chao was not reconciled to his credit being in vain, so he pushed a brocade bag to Jia Shilu, which contained silver.

It has been delayed for nearly a year, and the Ming Dynasty will probably perish in another year or so. It took him a year to become a general manager. Yang Chao already felt that it was too slow. If he continued like this, he would perish by the Ming Dynasty If you can't get promoted, let alone change history at that time, you may not even be able to keep yourself.

As a result, Jia Shilu smiled wryly, and pushed the money back to Yang Chao.

"It's not that I don't want to do anything, but that I really have no choice. To be honest, I value this credit more than you do."

Jia Shilu sighed for a long time, with a particularly regretful tone.

Yang Chao also believed that Jia Shilu really wanted this credit to be fulfilled, because Yang Chao was an officer directly under Jia Shilu, no matter how much credit Yang Chao made, Jia Shilu could share it.

So Jia Shilu said there is no way, then there is really no way.

Jia Shilu's relationship in the army is much deeper than that of Yang Chao.

So Jia Shilu couldn't accomplish this feat, and Yang Chao basically couldn't do it in any way, but Yang Chao still didn't give up.

Yang Chao frowned and asked, "Sir Jia expresses his feelings, what's wrong with this credit?"

Jia Shilu smiled wryly and said: "You don't need to ask Mr. Yang, I don't know for sure. The water here looks very deep. Some people don't want us to touch the Jiang bandits. This is where the credit goes. I will mention it later." Don't mention it. Just pretend you haven't seen it before."

After speaking, he shook his head and waved his hand to let the servant see off the guests.
