Chapter 423(2/2)
With hatred, these militiamen came to the stage with knives, roaring and slashing down the dozen criminals with their knives.
Then, the remaining more than a hundred old thieves with blood on their hands were pulled up. Their final decision was to spare their lives, but with twenty sticks, they would spank their butts to pieces, and then they would be sent back to Phoenix Mountain in chains, and finally they would be sent all the way.
When we return to Chongqing, there will be military camps there, and these people will work as slaves in the military camps there, cultivating the land for the imperial camps, and atone for their sins as slaves for the rest of their lives.
When it was finally announced that the remaining thieves had been released on the spot, those people were filled with surprises and endless gratitude. They all knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude.
Zhang Shipeng said, "What you have to thank is not us, but His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. His Majesty is kind and does not want to commit more crimes, so he is especially forgiving. Otherwise, you will all be punished for being traitors."
"Bring the prisoners!"
In the stormtrooper camp, more than a dozen people who had been secretly seized, even molested women, and killed prisoners were brought up.
The military judge read out their crimes and the corresponding punishment.
One of the traitorous soldiers should be executed for his crime, but he had merit in killing the thief today. After atonement with his merits, he would be given the final punishment of twenty canes and expulsion from the army.
Ji Congxiao was so angry that he slapped the guy twice, "Go away, I won't accept a beast like you in the assault camp."
Although he wanted to save this person, in the end he gritted his teeth and didn't want to start this bad thing.
Originally, Shen Yuantai insisted on killing him, but Zhang Shipeng and others believed that this guy had killed two thieves today and was wounded again, so they spared his life.
But I can’t stay.
He was also deprived of all military rewards, his clothes, armor and swords were taken away, he was expelled from the army, and he was told to go home.
After twenty beatings, the man was limping and feeling very lonely. He felt extremely regretful, but there was no way he could change it.
"Wait a moment."
Ji Congxiao finally gave him two pieces of dragon silver and said, "Take care of yourself along the way!"
The other ten or so who violated military regulations were also punished in public. The amount of trophies hidden privately was not large, so they were mainly military sticks, and they were given a demerit.
After dealing with those who violated military regulations, they began to reward them.
The soldiers of the storm battalion were excited to receive the silver reward in public. Since it was the first time, in order to have a better motivational effect, the silver was distributed directly, and the silver was shining brightly.
There was a guy who rushed into the stronghold first. In the end, he even managed to kill the Black Dragon King. He also captured horses and armor. In the end, based on his merits, he got one hundred and twenty taels of silver. He received it as a bag of silver in front of everyone.
Out of time, he envied countless subordinates.
Of course, this is the only one who is lucky.
The others who received more silver rewards were only thirty or forty taels of silver. Most people only received one or two taels of silver.
Even the auxiliaries who contributed the least, most of them only received a reward of two coins.
In other camps, they only had a meal of horse meat soup, which was enough for their eyes.
The total reward for silver hair is not much, and it is not as much as what is captured.
But the eyes of the more than 5,000 soldiers in the camp were all red with excitement. These people were soldiers in the past, including white-pole soldiers, Sichuan soldiers, local soldiers, and rural soldiers from powerful local landlords.
There is a reward for winning, but when did you become so direct and say it right and cash it out immediately?
What's more, beating such a group of petty thieves actually resulted in such a huge reward?
That lucky bearded man got one hundred and twenty taels each. Damn it, this is enough to marry several wives and even buy a yard and twenty acres of land.
Zhang Shipeng stood up at the right time and said that the imperial camp has always rewarded meritorious deeds and will never withhold them, so as long as everyone dares to fight and can fight, the court and the saints will definitely live up to it!
Of course, if you do something wrong, you will be punished.
Anyone who dares to violate military regulations will not be spared lightly, and those who dare to escape from the battlefield will be killed without mercy!
The other battalion officers were so excited that they even asked impatiently who would fight next. The battalion officers began to directly argue about the main attack mission of the next battle.
Ji Congxiao, who had been awarded an additional level of meritorious service, was enjoying himself in a low-key manner and did not dare to compete again.
Several officers even directly proposed to divide their troops to attack, with 6,800 troops marching together. They looked down upon these thieves so much that one battalion was enough to sweep the surrounding areas.
Who wouldn't be jealous of this stormtrooper battalion enjoying so much success and receiving so many rewards?
Why did the Charge Battalion gain so many benefits and fight this battle so easily? Whoever replaced him would have the same result, and who would be worse than the other?
