Chapter 322

Drinking soldiers' blood and withholding military pay are the customs of this era. Famous generals Li Chengliang and Qi Jiguang are not exempt from customs, let alone others.

You should know that people like famous general Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang have formed an elite army by withholding military salaries, which is the beginning of the nationalization of the army

This is because the atmosphere of officialdom in this era is like this. If you can't hold the army, where can you have the money to manage the officials? Bribe Shangguan? If you don't manage and bribe Shangguan, you won't get a promotion and won't get all the staff.

To be honest, now the above is to allocate money and grain to you. He will directly deduct one or two percent as loss. Then he will deduct it layer by layer, and only about fifty or sixty percent will flow into the hands of the army. How much can the general of the unified army give?

It can be said that withholding military pay in this era is not an unspoken rule, but an explicit rule.

The army can only pay full salaries when fighting desperately, usually with double rings, otherwise it can't make these soldiers fight hard. Of course, the so-called double rings are nominal. Whenever soldiers fight desperately, those who should be officials, those who should be deducted, and those who should be exploited still have to be exploited, It won't be polite.

In fact, Liu Jiajun's behavior in this way is very hateful and hateful. It's strange that others don't hate him.

But now he said it openly, but there was no problem. He said it to these soldiers, but won the favor of the soldiers, because these soldiers knew that the Liu family had money and they never deducted their pay.

This is also the reputation of Liu Jiajun. If Liu Bu said such words before he won the Anqing war, he would be spit to death, or he would be ostracized and killed by his own superior officials. However, he has won the Anqing war, become famous in the first World War and become a famous general in the world. Therefore, after doing this, he appears to be noble and different, Won the respect of many soldiers.

In this era, officers who do not deduct their salaries are the best officers.

There is opposition between soldiers and officers. Officers in this era are generally dignified and superior. Soldiers just fight for food. The opposition between the two sides is inevitable. As for loving soldiers like children, it is only a rumored thing. More generals regard soldiers as slaves, and they call them a family, It's just that he is a parent and others are domestic servants.

Liu Bu openly said that he did not deduct his military pay, but he won the unanimous respect of the soldiers and established his noble and majestic image.

Liu Bu looked very proud when he saw the respect in everyone's eyes. Today, he can express his ideas at will. He said loudly: "Why the food of our Liu family army is so good, that is because our Qi army raises soldiers, that is, raising wolves. Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat and dogs travel thousands of miles to eat shit. My soldiers are meat eating wolves. They can die on the battlefield, but they can't starve to death."

Liu Bu loudly said this sentence, which won the unanimous applause of the Qi soldiers.

You should know that Liu Bu has a very high reputation in the Qi army. As the founder of this army, his prestige is unparalleled. In everyone's mind, he is equivalent to God. Although he has not fought any famous war, he is more respected by the Qi soldiers than any general.

Because the soldiers knew that all they had in front of them was brought by their general Liu.

Liu Bu was very happy with everyone's cheers and cheers. He continued: "The food of our Qi army is good. But because each of our soldiers is our brother. They are our brothers on weekdays and on the battlefield. We can entrust their backs to them. We don't have an officer's canteen. I Liu Li will eat what the soldiers eat, I Liu Bu will eat what the soldiers eat. If I open a small stove, every soldier can shoot cold arrows at me."

This sentence once again won the applause of the soldiers of the Qi army. Even many generals, officers and soldiers of Hong Chengchou's army clapped their hands when they heard Liu Bu's words.

Because among Hong Chengshou's army, the class level is very strict. The soldiers barely eat enough. Only elite soldiers will have vegetables, and officers will have wine and meat. This is an agreed welfare. This is a symbol of identity. Everyone acquiesces to this.

The food of these officers is not bad at all, even very luxurious. There are not only wine, but also song and dance musicians, and even a large number of beautiful women serving in their army, but the soldiers at the bottom are not covered in clothes and food.

Liu Jiajun's soldiers are completely different from them. They don't have officers' small stoves. Everyone eats and lives together, so that there is no hierarchy between their officers and soldiers.

Liu Bu said these words loudly, but it made Hong Chengchou and others feel a little ashamed, but he secretly hated it in his heart. You Liu Bu have money and are willing to pretend to be a saint. Don't pull us all, don't black us all. Are you going to be the public enemy of generals all over the world?

After Liu Bu said these words, Zhu Dadian was very happy to applaud the festival. He said: "General Liu said well, so I can make it clear that the poor food of your army is a matter between your armies. If you have any questions, you can go to your chief for discussion. If you come to us for something, don't blame me for turning my face."

At this point, it means that both sides have torn their faces. Hong Chengchou was also very angry. He said: "the imperial court ordered my commander to command the army of five provinces to come and destroy the exiled bandits. All money, grain and military pay are supplied by the local government. Our army has been here for several days, but you have been in arrears with military pay and food. How to say this, you must explain."

Lu Jiude said to him, "the imperial court ordered Marshal Hong to lead the army to destroy the exiled bandits. Where are the exiled bandits now? Where are you? And did you recover Fengyang city? Did you capture Zhang Xianzhong alive? What credit did you make?"

Zhu Dadian assisted next to him. He said: "Not to mention the merits, let's say how many rogue bandits you killed? How many rogue bandits were repulsed by you. Can you do anything practical besides asking for someone from the imperial court? No? Fengyang in the Middle East has been recovered, and there is no problem with security here. What you need to do now is to go west to pursue the rogue bandits, not here Look. "

Lu Jiude and other generals openly said these words, which made Hong Chengchou, Cao Wenzhao, Zu Kuan and other generals feel very angry. In officialdom, what they pay attention to is to live in harmony with each other. No matter how hostile on the surface, they will keep face with each other. This is the dignity that officials should have. But Lu Jiude now drives them openly like a bitch, which makes these people very angry.

They did not make any contribution to the defeat of Zhang Xianzhong's army, but Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng hurriedly withdrew from Fengyang city because Hong Chengchou's 100000 troops came. Otherwise, they would not have withdrawn from Fengyang city and fled West because of Liu Bu's thousands of soldiers.

It's better now that these people beat people and don't want monks. As soon as new talents enter the bridal chamber, the matchmaker threw them out of the wall. It's too humiliating and embarrassing.

These troops are elite troops transferred from all provinces and are responsible for exterminating the roving bandits. According to the regulations of the imperial court, they all make double sounds, one of which is distributed by their original provinces and localities and the other by the theater, so as to ensure that they maintain sufficient combat effectiveness in combat.

Now they should be paid locally in Fengyang, and Zhu Dadian and others were completely angered by Hong Chengchou and others because these people had no outstanding performance and played no role in recovering Fengyang.

Liu Bu was thinking that he was not afraid of enemies like God, but of teammates like pigs.

Originally, he had aroused the antagonism between officers and soldiers in Hong Chengshou's army. As long as he picked up the contradictions between them, they could be distracted and unintentional to fight. At least they could not be twisted into a rope to deal with them.

Now it's good that Zhu Dadian and Lu Jiude sing in unison, openly want to drive these troops, deny their credit and let them go. This has successfully angered these officers and soldiers.

Hong Chengchou's generals and soldiers listened to these words, but they were very angry. The governor and supervisor thought they had no role and let them go. This made them completely angry. Many people looked angry.

Lu Jiude, seeing that the success angered the other party, didn't feel anything wrong, and said proudly: "Why? Don't you agree with what I said? What contribution did you make in this matter? Fengyang city was ravaged by the enemy's iron hooves, but you watched in Xuzhou. When the enemy was defeated, you hurried over to take credit and pride. You've seen shameless people, but you haven't seen such shameless people. If you bring a handle, go to the west to hunt Liu Kou, what's the prestige of staying here? What's the hero? "

Hong Chengshou was so satirized by a eunuch that he couldn't hang up completely. He had to order his soldiers to withdraw and return to the camp. He could only suppress today's matter. He wanted to make a fuss about it. Who knows that the other party was like a bitch and scolded them. Both sides were tearing their faces. There was no need for him to reason with the other party.

Hong Chengchou, the governor of five provinces, was in charge of commanding his troops to destroy the roving bandits. As for how to fight and destroy them, there was no need to be responsible to Zhu Dadian and Lu Jiude, nor to report to him, so he had to say, "the upright is not a conspiracy!" so he ordered the troops to return to the camp.

Hong Chengchou's personal regiment and other generals and soldiers were very angry. They left here in anger and returned to the camp.

One thing Liu Bu is thinking about is that the only harvest today is that Zhu Dadian and Lu Jiude completely tore their faces. Both sides can't pee in one pot.
