Chapter 54

In the Ming Dynasty, the army was a practice that the army had to set out the departing of silver, and at the same time, there were grains for going out to fight. The troops gathered in Baosheng Fort include the guards, township groups, and the third squad of the county's constables and civilians. However, no matter what, the old examples of the departing of silver and grains were indispensable.

According to Zhao Cheng's deployment, this time they were going to mobilize 1,500 troops to encircle and suppress *Zhuzi's nest. Although more than a hundred Nine-headed birds had annihilated the 53 bandits led by *Zhuzi, Zhao Cheng obviously felt that it was more important to be safe. Perhaps the general combat effectiveness of the Ming army forced him to be more conservative.

However, the number of 1,500 people is enough, but it will take a lot of money to mobilize them.

"Each soldier drives one tael of silver and four dou of grain."

The thieves' nests are less than a hundred miles apart, and the officers and soldiers dispatched four times the strength of the thief, and they could still drive the bank and the treasury.

Finally, it was decided that the 1,500 taels of silver and 600 s of grain would be divided by eight counties, and then the gentry and shops in each county would be donated part of it. In short, this time the troops were sent to wipe out the inhumane bandits and other bandits, and for everyone's safety.

After the meeting, Liu Jun first received 1,200 taels of silver from Mei Zhihuan, which was the one he promised to give each person ten taels of silver. There were 109 nine-headed birds, but Mei Zhihuan directly issued a reward based on 120 of them.

Liu Jun also received the 200 taels of silver rewarded by Zhao Cheng. In addition, Magistrate Lu also gave 100 taels of silver rewarded to the nine-headed bird on behalf of the county.

One thousand five hundred taels of silver were invested, plus more than eight hundred taels of silver seized before, as well as gold, jade, jewelry, silk and satin worth more than five hundred taels of silver, this time the harvest was quite good.

However, the reward was issued to the members of the Nine-Headed Birds, killing and capturing one thief with twenty silver rewards, forty leaders, and one hundred bandit leaders. If the fifty-three thieves have to give out more than one thousand taels of silver rewards. In addition, Mei Zhihuan's 1,200 taels of silver rewards have to be distributed to each person with ten taels of silver.

In this way, the harvest of three thousand taels can be left in the end.

They made a big profit, especially they seized fifty-three good horses and a batch of weapons.

Neither Mei Zhihuan nor Zhao Cheng made the intention to hand over their seizures. This was their Nine-Headed Bird's spoils, and they all belonged to them. Although some people envied them, no one raised any objection. This was exchanged for by Nine-Headed Bird himself.

"Get the team members together and now I will give you all the silver rewards." Liu Jun knew that the soldiers were waiting for the rewards.

"Send it now?"

"Well, I'll send it now. After sending it, we can help them keep it. After the battle is over, we will ask them to take it back. Only when the reward is obtained will everyone feel at ease and content."

"Okay then." Li Chunjiang did not object.

The team members gathered up, and Liu Jun asked the servants to carry a few boxes of silver to the front of the team. When they opened it, there was a brilliant silver light.

"Now, give the silver reward!"

The team members were excited when they looked at the silver of the incinerator. In fact, everyone had been silently calculating their rewards, and they were worried about gains and losses, fearing that the captain would not be able to get the money. After all, everyone calculated that everyone had a big reward.

"Now, I will give the first silver reward first. This is the reward that Mei Gong gave to everyone. Each person is treated equally. Those who call the name will come up and receive the reward and seal."

"Chang'an, the commander of the left troop of the Left Banner Team!"

"arrive!"

"This is your silver, ten taels, hold it away, sign it here." Two small silver ingots of five taels were taken out of the box, and then placed on the weighing, so that Chang An could see it.

Chang An's hands were trembling with excitement, his eyes were filled with the ten taels of silver. He had never owned so much silver, and had never.

"Why are you giggling, sign!" Liu Jun cursed with a smile, which attracted the laughter of the team members.

The team members came up one by one, received the signature of the money, and those who could not sign the signature were handprints.

"What are you doing over there?"

"I'm sending money, ten taels per person!"

"Isn't it a person who can open silver one or two?"

"That's the Nine-Headed Horse Team. They don't give them the silver, but the rewards Mei Gong gave them, each of them is ten taels. Fuck, I'd better have to be from the Nine-Headed Horse Team. Ten taels of silver will be worth my mother's salary for the year." A village man from another team said enviously.

"It's more than ten taels. I heard that their captain had promised to kill a thief and reward silver. One leader had forty taels and one bandit leader had one hundred taels. I heard that a guy who was lucky enough to kill three of them, and one was the bandit leader. Damn, he had one hundred and forty taels of reward silver. Oh, there were ten taels."

"Damn it, they are all village heroes, why are the Nine-headed birds so awesome!"

"Of course, you don't even look at whose horse team it is. It's the horse team of the Li family, and it was formed by Mr. Chunjiang himself. I heard that it has cost more than 10,000 taels of silver in just over a month."

"Do you know what the deputy Liu team is from?"

"I heard that it seems to be the son of a scholar in Macheng. It turns out that he is a martial artist in Huangzhou Wei Wushu."

"Impossible, how is it possible for a scholar's son? I guess it may be from the Liu family in Suokouhe."

Countless people watched the members of the Nine-Headed Horse Team come forward one by one to receive the reward, sign and press the handprints, and then lead two silver ingots down.

"The following is the reward for fighting last night. In advance, all you have to pay is the reward for killing and capturing last night. As for the merits of combat performance, we have to wait for the next time to calculate it, and there will be another reward. Now we will only give first-level military merit rewards."

"Zhang Donggou!" Liu Jun shouted.

Dong Gouzi immediately raised his chest and raised his head, "Come!"

"Zhang Donggou, a nine-headed bird right flag bird gunman, performed outstandingly in the fight against bandits in Xing'an Temple. One man won two thieves and the thief leader. Now, he will be rewarded with 140 taels of silver to reward his bravery. Zhang Donggou, come up to receive the reward."

Donggou walked forward, but his feet were shaking. One hundred and forty taels, and he was already excited and thumping. Now he had to get one hundred and forty taels of silver in his hand. Although he had been chanting this number since the battle last night, he couldn't even sleep when everyone was resting today.

The number of 140 taels flashed in my mind, 140 taels is so big. Buy a house, buy land, and get married! There are so many things I can do. Now, the money is going to be given to him, and he still can't believe it.

"Here you press the handprints to mark it."

Donggouzi mechanically repeated the movements he had just received the reward, then stretched out his hands and held several large silver ingots in his hands. One hundred and forty taels, weighing nearly ten pounds.

The weight was a little more than he imagined. He never expected that one hundred and forty taels of silver would be so heavy. If he accidentally fell down, a silver ingot fell on his back and hit his feet. He grinned in pain.

It attracted a lot of laughter from the team members.

Some townsmen from other teams watching were shouting, "Brother, if you feel that you can't take the money, I will help you with it, I won't be too heavy!"

"Hahaha."

Zhang Donggou was so excited that he couldn't find Bei. He bent down to pick up the silver. As a result, he bent down and dropped a few more ingots of silver and rolled all over the ground. He hurriedly picked up the piece, picked up the piece and then dropped the piece. In the end, his teammates helped him pick it up.

The silver was still being distributed, and a tael of silver was distributed from behind and four dou of rice was distributed.

Dong Gouzi was holding a full of silver in his arms, and a bag of rice was still in his feet. A total of 151 taels of silver and 60 kilograms of rice.

He even thought that tomorrow is about to start, why did he bring so much money and rice with him? He wanted to exist here, but he had no acquaintances, so he was full of troubles about this.

He never thought that he would have to worry about the money.

In the end, President Liu Qi asked everyone to deposit all the silver and rice they received to him, register it, and then take it back after the bandits returned. Although Donggouzi believed President Liu Qi, he was really reluctant to hand over the silver. After hesitating for a long time, he finally reluctantly took the silver to the front and registered and handed over.

"This Liu Jiye is really interesting."

When the Jiutou Bird gave the silver reward, Zhao Cheng also saw that one of the small town soldiers actually received a silver reward of 151 taels without deducting half a point, he couldn't help but be amazed. The imperial army, even the most elite Guanning Iron Cavalry, dared not say that it was not deducted. However, Jiutou Bird, a village group, really achieved no deducting half a point. It was unimaginable that the silver reward would be given as much as it would be said, and it would be impossible to concede.

Liu Jun took the silver gift back and took it back. Although the silver was finally in his hands, the morale of the Nine-Headed Birds team members became more and more high. Everyone no longer had to worry about whether the silver gift would be really given to them. Now, although the silver was paid and handed over, it was just that their silver was temporarily stored in Mr. Liu Qi.

Liu Jun sent the silver and the remaining silver and property to Mei Zhihuan, asking him to help keep the food temporarily. In addition, he temporarily had the food of dozens of stone meter. When he sent troops yesterday, each team member carried food for three days, but basically did not move. Just send troops to continue to carry these foods tomorrow, and you don’t have to carry the food you sent.

When he was sending the grain to the warehouse, Liu Jun met a group of women, who were rescued by the Jiutou Bird Team from Xing'an Temple. The group of women sat by the wall, with a numb face. Liu Jun knew that the group of women was not from Linjiazhai, but the thief looted the young woman stolen from another village.

When these people were rescued, they had been humiliated by the thieves. For a woman from the Ming Dynasty, being beaten by the thief means that it is difficult for her to go home. When she goes back, her family will find it difficult to accept them. Now they have a home.

Liu Jun hated the ethics of the Ming Dynasty and was inhumane. But he found it difficult to change the attitudes of those women.

An old Cangtou, who was standing on the side guarding the warehouse, sighed, "It's so pitiful. There are several people who want to commit suicide, but it's been difficult to stop it. Now we have to look at them."

"Have they notified their families?"

"No one is willing to say the name and address of the monks. They know that if they say it, their families will not come to pick them up." Old Cangtou sighed.

Liu Jun could not sit down and watch the poor women die on their own. He walked up and said to them, "I know what you are thinking now. If you have a home, you can't go back, and your heart is ashamed. But I think that even if you can't go home, you can continue to live, at least for yourself. If you have no place to go, you can wait for me here and wait for me to wipe out the thieves and return, you can go with me."

"Where to go?" asked a tall and thin woman. It seemed that she was only in her twenties, and perhaps two or three young children.

"You know we are the Nine-Headed Horse Team, and there are no women in the military camp. But I plan to buy a yard next to the military camp, where you can place it, usually wash and sew clothes for the Nine-Headed Brothers. In the future, we may also build a quilt shop, a gunpowder workshop, or something, and you can help us do these things. We will pay you labor money, you can make money by making money, live together, and help each other. Maybe after some time, your family, your parents, and husbands will be able to accept you, and you can go home."

"Can you really go back? I miss my child!" a woman asked crying.
