Chapter 81

It has entered the beginning of December, and the January training period for the Dengzhou Tuanjie Soldiers has arrived. The fourth battalion of Dengzhou has been reviewed by Cui Yunqing, the governor and unity envoy, and the Duyu Hou Song Wen and other Shangguan. The time has been planned for three days. The unity soldiers of the four counties will return to their own counties, and then they will start training and participating in the task of assisting in the prevention and suppression of bandits. Although there are still three days left, the training tasks have been completed. These three days are rest. Because the Tuanjie Soldiers performed well during this inspection, Cui Yunqing also ordered the pulling of 10,000 pieces of silk from the warehouse as a reward, and also pulled out 300 sheep, 100 pigs, and 300 jars of good wine for the Tuanjie Soldiers.

The rewards were exceptions and no deductions. Everyone in Dengzhou's officialdom knew that Cui was about to be promoted to the Sima of the Jiedu Mars and the Ambassador of the Yingtian, while the Duke of the Unity Army, Song Wen of Song of the Duke of Yuhou was taken over as the governor. Regarding this change, everyone understood that Cui and Song Jieshuai finally joined forces. No one was willing to offend Cui before he left office, not to mention that Cui left Song Wen and Song Wen were there. Therefore, the rewards were given in full, and each Duke of Silk was rewarded with three pieces of silk, and there were also special picks of five dou of rice for each person.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year was approaching, the Unity Soldiers who had been away from home for more than a month were finally going home, and they received such a large reward, they were all very happy. The camp was filled with joy from the young Unity Soldiers. Many Unity Soldiers were already packing their luggage, and some went to the city to buy gifts for their relatives at home. The entire camp was filled with joy, but the camp in Zuoyidu, Wendeng Camp was different.

Early this morning, the brothers from other battalions and capitals had received all the rewards, and even the wine and meat had been given. But the camp in Zuoyidu was in a strange atmosphere. Seeing noon, Zuoyi not only did not issue any rewards, but also ordered everyone not to leave the camp. The people below were talking about it, and they didn't know what was going on. They didn't think that Jiangtou would deduct their rewards. After all, everyone knew that although General Li Jing was also from Qingning Township, he was lucky to kill bandits on the road, enter the city to become a disciple, and fight with others to win a huge sum of money.

Seeing that lunch time was coming, the sound of lunch horns sounded in the barracks of Zuoyidu. Everyone gathered together and walked towards the kitchen. As soon as they approached, they smelled a strong fragrance. As they saw, there were actually rows of fires burning in the open space outside the kitchen, lined up with ten roasted lambs, and the skin was golden and the sesame oil dripped off. Many people were swallowed by the scene and the strong fragrance.

However, although everyone watched the whole roasted lamb swallow, the training results for a month were still good, and they still did not forget to maintain their formation.

Li Jing nodded to Zhang Hong next to him with satisfaction. Zhang Hong immediately walked out with a piece of silk cloth and shouted to everyone: "Brothers from Zuoyidu, today, Cui Tuanlian rewarded everyone with money, grain, wine and meat, each with three pieces of silk, five dou of rice, and two pounds of mutton, three pounds of pork, and two pounds of wine. However, our Li Jiangtou Renyi took out a sum of money and silk and rewarded all the brothers with great rewards. Li Jiangtou shared the brothers from Zuoyidu with two pieces of silk and five dou of rice. In addition, there were ten roasted lamb, three fat pigs, and enough wine. Today, everyone should eat and drink!"

The brothers in Zuo Yidu all cheered in unison. They were worried that the reward would be deducted, but they did not expect that not only did they lose a penny, but they turned it over. No one expected that Li Jiangtou would pay out of his own pocket and actually took out so much money to reward everyone. Everyone cheered loudly and thanked Li Jing in unison.

Li Jing smiled and stepped forward, pressing his hands down, signaling everyone to stop.

"Dear brothers, fellow villagers! I, Li Jing, are all children of Qingning Township, Wendeng County, and I have the fate to be a united soldier in Dengzhou for training with everyone. I have the fate to be together and become a brother who has been scooped dry and stirred. After more than a month of getting along, it is very unforgettable. If I have the chance, I, Li Jing, sincerely hope to be with everyone and be brothers forever."

"All be brothers!" Many people shouted below. Following Li Jing this month, although the brothers in Zuo Yidu complained about the harder training of Zuo Yidu than others at the beginning. But they also knew that although the rest of the past month had three meals a day, they had at most cooking cakes and dishes porridge, but the food in Zuo Yidu was much better than the others. Although the training was tiring, they had three meals a day, and there were still meat and fish. The food was better than what they had eaten at home for more than ten or twenty years.

Especially those who followed Li Jing to kill Feng Yanqing last time felt the benefits of following Li Jing. Although he took risks when he ambushed Feng Yanqing last time, he was only a few people who were slightly injured in the end, but in the end, each person received a huge reward of 100 pieces of silk.

Even if you are well trained and performed well, you can get rewards of hundreds or thousands of dollars. Although you only have a month to follow Li Jing, everyone has already formed the concept of following Li Jiangtou to eat meat and following Li Jiangtou to have rewards.

Li Jing pressed down again and signaled everyone to stop. Then he sighed, "I really want to be brothers with everyone forever, but I have received a new appointment and will soon go to Shamen Town to serve as the general. Shamen Town was originally a garrison with only fifty people. Now I am going to take over as the general, and I have hired Coach Lin, Deputy General Wang, Zhang Yuhou, and Team Lin and others to take office together. However, my brothers are still missing in total. If the Lord Song Du Yu gave me, I can take Zuo Yidu to the front, but I will ask for your opinions in advance today. I am very happy that everyone is willing to go with me, Li Jing. If anyone doesn't want to go, I will never force me."

Everyone listened quietly, and at this time they started to buzz. One of the gangs asked, "When you go to Shamen Town, you are going to be a garrison. The garrison only takes one round for six years, right?"

Li Jing nodded and said loudly: "Brother Liu Heigou is right. If you go, you are the garrison soldiers and you cannot go home within six years. This time you go to Shamen Town, not only do you follow me, but your family members must go with you."

When he heard this, many people hesitated. Li Jing was a good person and had meat to eat with him. But if he was a garrison, it would be different. Everyone knows that the garrison was suffering. Not only was the place where he was stationed was in remoteness, but it was often not enough food and salary, and it was common for him to eat. Anyone who could still survive at home was willing to eat this bowl of rice.

Everyone's reaction was long as Li Jing expected. He smiled: "Of course, if everyone is willing to follow me, Li Jing, I will never treat everyone badly. Anyone who is willing to go will immediately give An's family a fee of twenty pieces of silk and two stones of rice. In addition, when you arrive in Shamen Town, you will give two liters of rice every day, at least one meat every day, and you can also receive two jin of salary every month and one stone of rice every month, which can ensure that your whole family can have dry rice."

As soon as he finished speaking, the united soldiers below were immediately excited. These united soldiers were from Qingning Township, and most of them were farmers. The situation in the family was similar. In a good year, the family worked hard for a year and could barely get enough food and clothing. Once there was a natural disaster, most families would have to owe debts or even go out to beg for food to survive the famine. They were ordered to be united soldiers, and they had to be self-sufficient in equipment. Only when they had food and drink every day would the government provide grain, rice, pickles, and food, not to mention money.

Now Li Jing's proposal to recruit them to serve as garrison soldiers made everyone excited. He gave them two liters of rice every day and meat dishes. He could still get two ounces of salary and one stone of rice a month, and one person could already support the family.

Li Jing continued to say slowly: "Of course, after your family goes with you, it is impossible to just sit and eat the whole country. At that time, I will also give each family some land to farm for you. Moreover, there will be workshops in the future, and your family can also help and earn wages according to their work. Although you have to leave your hometown and guard the border, such a good thing is not something you can encounter every day. This time I only recruit 250 people, but I don't want it if I get it all."

Everyone was moved and eager to try. At this time, the troupe who was just now asked again: "We don't have much worry about following Captain Li, but I heard that there are many pirates in the sea. What if I get injured and disabled when fighting with the pirates?"

"Good question, if there is a war, everything will be rewarded. In addition, three soldiers were seriously injured and two were slightly injured. Wu Guncheng and other soldiers were seriously injured, five were seriously injured and three were slightly injured. Those who died in battle were twenty silk, and soldiers died in battle ten. In addition, in addition to the pension for death, those who are lonely, widowed, young and young, will also be given another ten horses."

An ordinary soldier was slightly injured by two pieces of silk, three pieces of silk, and ten pieces of silk were killed in battle. Everything was clearly marked. This price was not set by Li Jing himself, but was directly copied from Guan Jian's reward standards for military merits, injuries and deaths. These prices were quite low in his opinion, and a life of only ten pieces of silk was worth ten pieces of silk. But in the eyes of the young people in front of him, they were a little surprised. They didn't know that not only were there ten pieces of silk that died, but also three pieces of silk that were seriously injured, and even two pieces of silk that even had minor injuries. This was just the lowest ordinary soldier. If he could become a sergeant commander, the team leader would increase a lot.

Many people were calculating carefully with their fingers, and then smiled happily. Someone smiled and said, "Li Jiangtou first sent us a deposit fee, aren't you afraid that we would regret not going?"

"I treat everyone as my brothers. If everyone takes the Anjiafu but doesn't go, it only means that I misread you. I don't recognize people clearly. How about it, is anyone willing to go to Shamen Town with me?"

"I'm willing to go!" Liu Heigou was the first to go forward to sign up. Zhang Hong happily registered his name. Then Liu Heigou stepped forward and pressed a bright red handprint, then smiled and went to the side to get the twenty pieces of silk and two stones of rice to settle down.

With the first one, the people behind them began to rush forward. Knowing that Li Jing needed 250 people, they were all on the left, and they were enough, but they were still worried that they would not have a share if they registered late. When everyone tried their best to register, Liu Heigou, the first one, had already received all his settlement fee, but at this time, he still didn't walk away. Instead, he came to Li Jing and whispered: "Captain, I want to ask, I have two brothers and two younger brothers in my family, the eldest brother is thirty, and the youngest brother is also 16. Can I bring them to eat meat with the captain?"

"Father and son soldiers are in battle, and brothers are fighting tigers. Okay, as long as they are willing and the conditions are appropriate, of course there is no problem." Li Jing laughed. For his first batch of subordinates, he had already made up his mind to get all the soldiers of the village party in Qingning Township.
