Chapter 82
This time Xiao Qi deliberately made the battle very large, specially summoned these 2000 people, and announced the compensation for the more than 2000 soldiers who died in the battle of Chuzhou City this time.
Because more than 2000 copies were needed, these 2000 people worked for a long time before wrapping up the silver and copper coins looted from various places.
Those scraps of silver and copper coins seemed to be a lot, but they were not enough at all, Xiao Qi pulled those large ingots of silver into several boxes, and asked the soldiers to cut them into small pieces.
It's just that this time, more than 1 taels of silver was used, and on average, each person can give about five taels of silver as a pension.
Before they left, Xiao Qi gave the general leading the team a few thousand taels of silver, and told him to pass by various state capitals on his return and try to buy as much copper as possible, even scrap copper products.
In fact, the currency in this era is mainly copper coins. If you really can’t buy it, you can exchange silver for copper coins and melt it.
It's just that the price of copper is almost equivalent to copper money at this time, and it takes a lot of time and effort to melt copper money, so Xiao Qi thinks it's best to buy copper, and he has to deal with the copper cannon as soon as possible. After all, this thing requires more experiments just work.
After these 500 people drove out of the city in a mighty cart, the people who got the news were all overwhelmed. Xiao Qi deliberately made the momentum very loud, causing many people to ask what was going on.
In the end, it was learned that the emperor confiscated Wu Yongcai's family property who had colluded with the Jinren. Zhenbeihou asked the emperor to use these properties to compensate the soldiers of the Changsheng battalion who died in the battle in Chuzhou City. The emperor agreed.
The news spread first from the mouths of the merchants in the capital.
It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the nearby prefectures and counties. At the beginning, some officials secretly laughed at Xiao Qi, making it known with such great fanfare that the carts were full of money.
I am sure that you will be harassed by those bandits along the way. No matter how much you can fight in the Changsheng camp, there will always be people who will try to get your ideas along the way, and you will be exhausted even if you are tired.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, the five hundred soldiers were safe and sound all the way, and even some famous bandits in the places they passed spread the word that they are not allowed to beat these soldiers for compensation money in their places. things, otherwise you will die forever.
Although each of these strongmen has a bad temper, most of them value righteousness. They know which money is used to comfort the fallen soldiers, and they don't think about those money.
The few groups who want to play with these money ideas are also because of Changshengying's reputation for being able to fight, and many colleagues have said that they are not allowed to use those money ideas.
Not to mention that their few people were no match for the hundreds of Changsheng Battalion soldiers at all. Even if many people died and a few carts of property were robbed, they would probably be chased and killed by their colleagues all over the world.
These people also gave up the idea of stealing a chance.
The 500 people in this ever-victorious battalion, because they had sent out pensions once, worked out a reasonable route and delivered the pensions to the families of the fallen soldiers one by one very smoothly.
As the matter spread more and more widely, many stories about Changshengying Zhenbeihou's Ai Bing also spread.
People gradually spread the saying that joining the army should go to the Changsheng camp, saying that if you are alive, you can win battles with Zhenbeihou. Zhenbeihou rewards his subordinates generously every time.
Not only that, even if they are disabled, they will receive a lot of money to settle down. For those who are disabled and have no relatives at home, the Marquis of Zhenbei also begged the emperor to give them several farms to support these soldiers.
In less than a month, people began to go to Chuzhou City and Chuzhou City to sign up for the Changsheng Camp, and some even went to the capital to find Xiao Qi to join the army.
Although most of these young men who wanted to join the Changsheng Battalion fled from the war-torn areas in the north to the south, and now they want to join the army because they have no livelihood.
However, in the Song Dynasty, when the status of warriors was low, even soldiers would be called thieves and soldiers. This is very rare.
Xiao Qi felt that it was time to strike while the iron was hot, and found an excuse that Xiao Qi came to the palace to ask for an audience.
Zhao Shen, who was chatting with Zhao Gou, heard that Xiao Qi wanted to see him, so he asked someone to bring Xiao Qi to the side hall where they were chatting.
After Xiao Qi saluted the father and son, without waiting for Zhao Shen to ask, he directly said that the young and strong among the common people are actively joining the army and want to kill the Jin people to take back the land occupied by the Song Dynasty.
When Zhao Gou heard about this, he was very unhappy, because this guy had already been scared out of his wits by the Jinren.
Zhao Shen wanted to fight, but seeing that Zhao Gou was very unhappy, he didn't dare to agree.
When Xiao Qi saw this posture, he knew that he had to spend some time talking, Zhao Shen could say that Zhao Gou's vigor was gone now.
As a last resort, he had no choice but to talk about the ancestral graves of their old Zhao's family. With a look of righteous indignation, he cursed those Jin people for occupying the tombs of the emperors of the Song Dynasty. The first emperor.
Hearing what Xiao Qi said, not only Zhao Shenteng stood up all of a sudden, but even Zhao Gou was ashamed.
Zhao Shen asked Xiao Qi: "Is there any good way for the Marquis of Zhenbei to defeat the Jin soldiers and regain all the land lost by my Song Dynasty?"
When Xiao Qi heard it, there was a door!
Quickly stood up and saluted the father and son: "I can issue a military order to drive the Jin people to the north of the Yellow River!"
After a pause, Xiao Qi cupped his hands again and said: "There is something I want to report to your two Majesties."
Zhao Shen waved his hand: "It's enough for the Marquis of Zhenbei to talk, I'm just waiting for the three of you here."
"Your Majesty, I plan that the Jin people will rush to the north of the Yellow River and stop attacking. My Great Song Dynasty can recuperate as soon as possible.
Make great efforts to develop the two points that Weichen said a few days ago, as long as you can make good results on these two points.
From now on, whether it is the Jin people or the Mongols, we will not be afraid of anyone, and we can even beat them back to their hometowns and cannot get out. "
Zhao Shen was overwhelmed with surprise: "Marquis Zhenbei is serious? As long as those two points are done well, can my Song Dynasty be invincible?"
Xiao Qi said depressedly: You think beautiful!Other than me, other people will know how to use these things to achieve the best results!
But when I think about it, I still have to pick up beautiful words when I say it.
"Yes, Your Majesty, as long as you do these two things well, and nothing else, I will be able to fight wherever my emperor directs me with the Changsheng Battalion!"
Zhao Shen was overjoyed, and was about to ask some other details.
Zhao Gou, who was standing next to him, said, "What are the two things that Zhenbeihou is talking about?"
Xiao Qi almost twisted his nose in anger, thinking what is this old guy thinking all day long?
This country belongs to your old Zhao family, you forgot such an important matter!
But Xiao Qi still patiently explained the two things he said at the beginning.
One is to vigorously develop firearms and develop better guns and artillery.
The second is to set up a large horse farm in the Song Dynasty, specializing in breeding new breeds of war horses.
Speaking of this, Xiao Qi bowed his hands to the two of them and said: "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, I can use my own head as a guarantee.
As long as these two things can be done well, the minister can guarantee that the Song Dynasty can add another ten thousand miles of territory! "
Zhao Shen was stunned!
Even Zhao Gou, who had lost his fighting spirit for a long time, straightened his already crooked back after hearing Xiao Qi's words.
The two stared at Xiao Qi with burning eyes, and Zhao Gou's sleeves were already trembling a little.
"What Zhenbeihou said is serious? Don't make such a joke with me!"
Xiao Qi cupped his hands: "Back to the Supreme Emperor, everything that this humble official said is true, how dare such an important official speak nonsense!"
Zhao Gou and Zhao Shen looked at each other, Xiao Qi obviously saw the light in the eyes of the two.
This light contains expectations for the future and relief as a descendant of the old Zhao family.
Zhao Shen wanted to say something else, but Zhao Gou said to Xiao Qi: "Marquis of Zhenbei, go back and make plans for the two good things you mentioned.
I will discuss with the emperor again. "
Xiao Qi knew that these two people were definitely tempted, so he didn't say any more, got up, saluted and said goodbye to the father and son, and went back to his residence.
Not to mention that the father and son in the palace were inexplicably excited in the side hall. They chatted together for a long time, looking forward to one day regaining the land in the Dajin War Zone and proudly standing in front of their ancestors' graves.
Xiao Qi returned to his own station in the military camp, immediately took out a pen and paper, and began to recall the locations of the few mines in his previous life.
While writing it down quickly, I am afraid that I will forget it after a while and I will never remember it again.
Zhang Xiu saw that Xiao Qi started to write and draw again, and knew that her man had important matters, so she didn't bother him, but went straight to the kitchen to cook for Xiao Qi herself.
