Chapter 20 Mu Xiu Yulin
Luo Luo’s second update is here, are there any recommendation votes?
......
Xia Gui really won’t cause trouble for Chen Dexing. If the military officer reaches his level, it may not be a blessing to make more contributions! Even if the contribution is as great as Yue Wumu, is it really a good thing?
But Chen Dexing was very puzzled if the other Song generals gathered in Yangzhou would come to cause trouble!
There were more than 43,000 Song army officers and soldiers fighting today, belonging to the ten armies of Wu Rui, Qin Zheng, Xiong Sheng, Ning Huai, Xiong Bian, Dao and Brave, Elite, Wu Feng, Qiang and Zheng Zheng. The commander, general, and deputy general who fought together must have exceeded 100. So many middle and senior generals fought hard for a day, and the soldiers who lost were probably more than 10,000, so how many real Tartars were killed?
And I, a ninth-rank Chengxin Lang, drove more than a thousand defeated soldiers, and fought back and forth, and even killed more than 400 Tartar heads and more than 200 Mongolian Han troops... Where did this put the generals in the army face? Moreover, today's contribution is just the beginning. If I want to turn the tide and support Tianqing, I will inevitably use one credit after another to pile up my position. The better I do, the more military generals in the Lianghuai army will be useless. I am afraid that in the Lianghuai army, I will not be a very popular character.
So what if that is? I have the abilities, experience and experience I have learned in my two lives, and the vision far beyond this era. Do I still need to see the faces of these useless military generals in the two Huai Rivers? Anyway, it is not these warriors who really hold the power in this era...
Thinking of this, Chen Dexing smiled faintly, supported his right hand and stood up, his eyes swept around, "I will talk about the credit later, let's see the injured brothers first. If there were no such brothers, we would not be able to win such a victory. The slightly injured brothers should be treated as soon as possible, and do not let the slightly injured become serious injuries. The seriously injured brothers should be treated as much as possible, and then record their names and hometowns to prevent them from coming from time to time. As for the brothers who died in the war, we must help them get more pensions..."
"It's better to believe that you love your soldiers as your son."
Gao Da echoed, led the way in front and led the group to the place where the seriously injured were temporarily placed. In fact, there was a clearing ground by the moat, and the wounded were lying on the ground, with no doctor or medicine, and only a few soldiers guarding him. The screams came one after another, making people feel sad.
"What's this old man's name? Where are you living in? Are there anyone else in your home?"
Chen Dexing walked to a dying old military man, half-squatted down, and asked with his bloody hand.
"Believe it... My name is Liu Zhong, there is no one at home, it's all called Tartars!" The old military man just smiled slightly, but his eyes showed ease and pleasure, "I killed a Tartar and stabbed him to death with a spear... It's worth it! It's really worth it..."
"Well..." Chen Dexing just nodded and asked in a low voice, "Brother Liu, do you have any other requirements?"
The old military man coughed twice, spitted out blood, and smiled bitterly, "What else can I ask for at this point? I believe that if you really want to ask, I want a coffin and a grave... Can it work?"
"Okay!" Chen Dexing nodded and arrived at the next seriously injured person. This is a half-grown child, very delicate and a little thin. I really don't know how he wore armor weighing dozens of kilograms. The child was shot in his right chest, injured his lungs, and was dying - the battlefield rescue and medical level in this era is naturally low, and serious injury is basically waiting to die! It is extremely life-threatening to survive. Chen Dexing had no choice but to do anything, and all he could do was to meet their final requirements as much as possible.
"Believe... My name is Yu Da. My family still has my mother and younger brother. I am dead. How can my mother and my younger brother live..."
"I'll raise it!" Chen Dexing tore off a corner of his battle robe, stretched out a finger and dipped it in blood. He first wrote down Liu Zhong's name and request on it, and then wrote down the address and request of the big home, and then walked towards the next dying wounded... Until he wrote down the requirements, names and addresses of each wounded person one by one, and finally carefully put away the cloth piece full of blood.
This person... is buying the morale of the army!
Seeing Chen Dexing's actions, the Song army soldiers resting around him started to discuss.
"I believe that it is different from other generals. If others just rob me of money, how can they care about the life or death of the red guy below?"
"Where is a common general who can be compared with a commoner? In addition to the faith, who else in the Song Dynasty could lead a thousand soldiers to kill 400 true Tartars' heads? Yue Wumu was just like that!"
"This time I'm thankful to the confession... Otherwise, my life would have been lost long ago. How could I dare to think about making meritorious service and asking for rewards? If I could always follow the confession in the future."
"...That's not sure. Lu Youwu has already died in the country, and our generals of the Wu Rui army have also lost a lot. This may be a belief in the command."
"Yes, the credit for confession is a great deal. Maybe I can be promoted to Wugonglang all at once, and it is qualified to be a governor."
"...If we have faith to be the governor, we red soldiers will have a good life. At least we have confidence in it. We will not deduct our military pay and rations, nor will we drink our military blood!"
These soldiers of the Wurui Army were actually all the children of civilians near Yangzhou, mostly farmers, and some were fishermen. Their thoughts were simple, or they were easy to deceive. If they were replaced by other long-standing troops, they would have never seen any veterans who had been in the army for several generations or had been in the army for decades? Chen Dexing's style of inviting people to be very useful.
Of course, it is impossible to gain the morale of the army by just a little superficial skill. At most, it is to leave a good impression on the soldiers under your command. To truly win the morale of the army, you have to bring real money and silver benefits to the generals below... Rewards, transfers, and daily food and salary are indispensable. Only in this way can the morale of the army be gathered and the morale of the army can you go further!
Before this, Chen Dexing had another important task, which was how to turn the head he obtained in this battle into a real official position and a dispatch. With these two things, he was qualified to turn the 600 men who had been on the battlefield and saw corpses and blood into his subordinates...
"Confession, the beheading and seizure have been calculated." At this time, Lu Da'an took out a cloth strip and handed it to Chen Dexing, and said happily, "The heads of the real Tatars were cut off 411, the heads of the Mongolian Han army were 215, and there were also plundering forty-eight war horses... Confession, the contribution this time was a bit great!"
In the end, Lu Daan's tone was no longer joy but worried. Such a great contribution was naturally because everyone was jealous of it. It was not easy to take it alone! He has been in the army for many years, but he has seen all kinds of ways to compete for merit and profit!
Chen Dexing turned his head to look at him, then looked around him. The "generals" under his command had gathered automatically. They all stretched their necks, as if they wanted to get something reassuring from Chen Dexing - these leaders who can be temporary officers are naturally more scrupulous than ordinary soldiers. Chen Dexing's ability to lead everyone to make meritorious contributions does not mean that he can lead everyone to be an official...
Chapter completed!
