Chapter 93 Military Discussion, Go Home

After discussing the share of the beheading with his third brother-in-law Tian Dafu, Tian Dafu and Eunuch Ma dispersed with satisfaction. Huang Laifu recruited his officers to discuss the reward and contribution.

Soon, the horse team, Jiang Dazhong, the squad team, Su Dong'an, and two squad families, and twenty small flags came to the hall. Everyone was full of joy on their faces. Obviously, they knew what Huang Laifu was asking them to come.

This time, there was a team of infantry and a team of horses. The army of Wuzhai Fort originally had no horses, only forty servants as horses. However, since last autumn, Huang Laifu spent thousands of taels of silver to buy 500 good horses from all over the country and form a horse team, with a total of more than 300 cavalrymen.

More than 100 of them were carefully selected and well-equipped. From people to horses, they were all covered with iron armor. These people were regarded as servants of the Huang family, led by Jiang Dazhong. This time, Huang Laifu brought these servants to the Shenchi Fort. As for the original Yang Xiaolu, he also led a horse team of hundreds of households in Wuzhai Fort. This horse team was also well-equipped. Although they were nominally officers and soldiers of Wuzhai Fort, they could be regarded as servants of the Huang family at any time.

As for Jiang Dazhong's team, the Baihu team he originally led was led by Su Dong'an.

"This time the bandits attacked, it was up to the soldiers to fight bravely to win a complete victory!"

After everyone sat down, Huang Laifu spoke first.

"This is all the time when the adults command the command and calm and calm, they can defeat the bandits and their subordinates dare not take credit."

The Baihu Su Dong'an war was well fought and spoke very well. He was the son of the Baihu Su Rui, 25 years old this year. He has always been modest and low-key. He is very popular among the Wuzhaibao army.

Looking at the following response, Huang Laifu smiled and said, "When you fight well, you fight well, and the rewards you deserve must not be missed."

He pondered for a while and said, "I have discussed with Lord Tian, ​​the guardian of Shenchi Castle. This time he led the army to help his soldiers, so he could not let him return empty-handed. Therefore, among the 459th level heads, I was divided into 200th level Shenchi Castle, and our five villages are divided into 259th level."

"In these 259-level heads, the team originally killed thieves at level 78, but because of the team's effective blocking of the enemy, the bandits collapsed, making the horse team's pursuit beneficial. Therefore, I counted as the 100th level of the team's head, and the horse team was divided into 159th level of the head. What do you think?"

Some of the officers below discussed for a while and said, "The subordinates have no objection." Huang Laifu's division method is still very different, so no one has anything to say.

Huang Laifu said: "In the specific calculation of the head level, this time the army killed 100 thieves. Su Dong'an, a hundred households, got the head level three, and the general flag Ding Chaoyong and Li Run, each got the head level two, and the remaining ones had the small flag, each got the head level one. Among the forty bird gun soldiers, each was counted as beheading. Archers and long cards were counted as beheading, and each was counted as beheading, and the rest were counted as beheading. The rest were counted as wolf wielding hand and short knife hand."

"As for the horse team, killing thieves at level 159. Baihu Jiang Dazhong won the head level 5, and he captured the thief leader Liu Shaoan, and he would be rewarded. The two general flags each received the head level 3, and ten small flags each received the head level 2. The rest were owned by the soldiers of each horse team. If there were many killing thieves, the general flag officer could be reported to the Baihu, and then reported to the original official to learn more, and rewarded them again."

Huang Laifu said: "As for the reward of beheadings, according to the national government, each thief's head is rewarded with 5 taels of silver, and the thief's head is rewarded with 156 taels of silver..."

In the Ming army, the first level of beheading was generally rewarded with five taels of silver, but in the Qi family army, the first level of beheading was beheading, and thirty taels of silver was rewarded with three dozen taels of silver. This is also one of the reasons why the Qi family army has strong combat power. Huang Laifu increased the reward to 40 taels of silver.

"also……"

Huang Laifu smiled again and said, "In addition to the rewards from the court, our Wuzhai Fort has another reward. According to the Wuzhai Fort Army regulations, one level will be beheaded and a reward of 40 taels of silver will be rewarded. After the imperial court's rewards are issued, our Wuzhai Fort will also be allocated together."

Everyone below was excited and talked about it. After this war, most of the soldiers who participated in the war would receive a reward of at least 40 taels of silver. How exciting it is. Jiang Dazhong, who received the highest reward, won the thief's head with the highest level of five, and won the thief's head. The imperial court's reward alone had 181 taels of silver, and with the 200 taels of silver rewarded by Huang Laifu, there were nearly 400 taels of silver. In addition, if you beheaded at level five, you will be inevitable.

"I will hand the documents of my soldiers to the court in the future."

All the officers were howling, and each of them had blood-devouring and fighting expressions on their faces. Huang Laifu was very satisfied with his sight. Everyone was willing to see this spirit.

Of course, in the Wuzhaibao army, in addition to the generous rewards of military merits, the pension for casualties was also generous. However, in this battle, only one soldier was slightly injured, and only Huang Laifu needed comfort, and no pension was needed. As for the dozens of casualties from brother-in-law Tian Dafu, of course, Huang Laifu didn't need to pay attention to it.

The specific contribution of the wealth of the first level after the war was also the result of Huang Laifu learning from the Qi family army. In the past, in the Ming army, soldiers rushed forward when they were victorious, and the soldiers fought for the first level of property, which had many disadvantages. After Qi Jiguang's improvement, this result was somewhat changed. However, in many Ming army, such bad disadvantages remained. For example, in the army of Huang Laifu's third brother-in-law Tian Dafu, this phenomenon is common.

After talking about the rewards, when the officers calmed down, Huang Laifu talked to everyone about the gains and losses of the battle and some lessons that should be paid attention to. Huang Laifu ordered the two hundred households to go back and write down their combat experiences after this battle, and later recorded them as examples in the history of the Wuzhaibao army. When you have time, you should dig it out and learn more.

After everyone expressed their opinions, they took notes to take note of their speeches. Now, the officers of Wuzhai Fort have been working hard for nearly a year and torture by military sticks, at least everyone can read and write. Moreover, everyone remembers the various regulations on Wuzhai Fort clearly.

Finally, it was about the distribution of property seized. This time, the three brother-in-law Tian Dafu generously gave up all the seizures to Huang Laifu, and even hundreds of horses were not fought with Huang Laifu. For him, raising cavalry was expensive. If he wanted to raise hundreds of horses, the horse material money was an astronomical figure, and he could not afford to raise a mere guard. Only his brother-in-law was rich and could take out the money to raise a few hundred horses.

For everyone in Wuzhai Fort, swords and other things are not rare now. Huang Laifu is also planning to keep half of the sword weapons at the mines in Shenchi Fort. But everyone here is drooling at the horses.

Finally, Huang Laifu's arrangement was that each servant would have another horse to form a two-person horse. As for the hundreds of infantry in Su Dong'an, each person would have a horse to use as an infantryman to increase the power of the army. The remaining horses were transported back to Wuzhai Fort. How to use them in detail will be discussed later.

On the second day, outside Taiping Village, there was a lot of people rushing in with countless people.

"Kill these bandits, kill them."

"Sir, please avenge my children and my aunt."

"Sir, these killers have killed thousands of swords and killed our Song Village, please make the decision..."

In amidst anger, the horse thieves who were tied up in various ways were trembling. The horse thief leader Liu Shaoan was put in a prison car and his face was also pale. He was now in ragged clothes and injured on his shoulders. He was still in a depressed state until now. He just lowered his head and did not speak, completely losing the arrogant and domineering he had done that day. Huang Laifu had reported to the court for his treatment and would escort him back to Wuzhai Fort, which would be decided by the court.

The news of the horse thieves' bloody purge of Song Village has been heard. Huang Laifu and Tian Dafu also took people to check it out. Everyone was shocked by the cruelty of the horse thieves. That village was said to be no longer kept. Except for the luckless escape, the people in the village have basically died.

What is particularly outrageous is that all the young women in the village were raped and killed, and some children were even poached. The crimes of these horse thieves were endless.

In addition to Song Village, in Taiping Village, many miners and their families were killed when the horse thieves arrived that day. Therefore, not to mention those lucky escapees from Song Village, even the people in Taiping Village also hated these horse thieves to the core.

"cut!"

Huang Laifu naturally had nothing to say about these people. Whether it was to use their heads to exchange military merits or to kill their heads to quell the public's anger, these horse thieves must die.

Amid the angry condemnation of the crowd, under a hillside, more than 100 captured horse thieves were followed one by one, and they were struggling and crying. Amid their screams, several soldiers from Wuzhai Fort took turns to cut off their heads and cut off several steel knives before they were beheaded all of the horse thieves.

After the killing, the local bloody smell lasted for a few days before it was dissipated. No one dared to pass by this place these days. From then on, this hillside became a chasm and a place for the spread of various local folk ghost stories.

"Laifu, you're leaving tomorrow, right?"

Tian Dafu said to Huang Laifu, who was silently watching the beheading scene beside him.

Seeing that all the horse thieves were beheaded, his third brother-in-law Tian Dafu looked a little ugly. One was about the bloody scene in front of him, and the other was about the struggle for contributions by his soldiers yesterday, which made him very upset. Many of his soldiers were dissatisfied with Tian Dafu's contribution to most of the 200th head to his servants, and many of his soldiers were dissatisfied with him, so that Tian Dafu would not sleep well for one night.

"Yes, brother-in-law."

Huang Laifu responded that the various minerals in Shenchi Castle have been on track and he doesn't need to deal with them personally. Moreover, the pensions and burials of the villagers of Song Village and the victims of Taipingzhuang miners have been completed, and he can indeed go back. He has been away from home for a few months and still misses home very much.

Tian Dafu nodded and said, "After Lai Fu returns, let your sister come back and have time to see you."

Huang Laifu looked at Tian Dafu, and saw that he looked calm, but just looked forward silently.

The next day, on July 20, 1591, with the farewell of everyone in Taipingzhuang, Huang Laifu led his own horse stairs teams to escort Liu Shaoan, left Shenchi Castle, and returned to Wuzhai Castle.

The battle of Taiping Village of Shenchi Fort was still very shocking to the surrounding areas. Not to mention that after the news spread, the various military forts were shocked by the combat power of the soldiers of Wuzhai Fort. Even the horse thieves around them dared to fight against Shenchi Fort and Wuzhai Fort.
