Chapter 122: Surrendered Soldiers, Wang Dahu's Thoughts
When they were sure that they were all heading to Xiningwei to rescue the people, the two men looked at each other and laughed.
"hey-hey."
"hey-hey."
"Let's go together, let's go find some game ahead."
"Yeah"
The two of them talked in low voices and then quietly walked away.
"And I"
During the conversation, the leader showed great respect for Yang Jiamo, saying that he was a descendant of the Yang family and was a rare and promising general in the Ming Dynasty.
After the squad leader left, someone in the team shouted downwards.
What they didn't realize was that near the camp they left, there were several figures hiding and watching them.
Then the servants and personal soldiers received double salary, which was nine point eight taels a year.
"One tael of silver. For every soldier you bring, I will give you one tael of silver."
The Ming troops didn't understand for a moment and looked at Wang Dahu in confusion.
As for why they did not choose the Ming Dynasty’s personal soldiers at that time.
"Master, could this be a trick?"
At this time, they had no other choice.
"Not really? Yang Jiamo doesn't seem to be the kind of person who mistreats his soldiers, does he?"
Is it
The two looked at each other again, relaxing their vigilance a little.
As time passed, the Ming army below gradually became anxious. Why didn't the general come yet? Could it be that he didn't want to accept their surrender?
"Here, here, can we both eat it?"
"Hehe, brothers
Don't be polite, just tell me what you want to eat and I'll serve it to you."
Let’s not talk about what the kingdom was like in history and what impact it had on Li Zicheng later.
Of course, we still need to be vigilant.
In the past two days, we have only had two meals of porridge, which is even worse than before the general came. We can't even walk without feeling weak in the legs and feet, so how can we have the strength to fight?
If we don't find a solution, we'll probably starve to death.
Some people couldn't help but ask.
Although they were a little anxious, they had no way back at this point and could only nod their heads repeatedly and wait anxiously once again.
Why did the Ming troops surrender to them?
However, if you can bring people, you can indeed get a large sum of money.
Their whereabouts were discovered by the rescue army at the first moment, and someone immediately shouted on the city wall.
After a little thought, Wang Dahu gave the order decisively.
However, after the general led his troops to Lanzhou, Counselor Wang Guo began to withhold our food.
In even more serious cases, military salaries may not be paid for several years.
A quarter of an hour later, Wang Dahu finally arrived on the top of the city wall and looked at the dozen people below the city.
At the very beginning, the Ming troops all looked hesitant. If they were discovered when they returned, their fate would be miserable.
"Really, really?"
".good!"
Li Zicheng was laid off and then went to Ganzhou to join the kingdom's army. It was from that time that he truly began his rebellion.
So, although they were somewhat tempted, they were still very hesitant.
Taking the Liaodong border army as an example, the monthly eclipse allowance in the camp was four cents of silver, totaling four point eight taels of silver per year.
"We, the officers and soldiers, can't even have a full meal."
".Yes, yes, yes!"
"I said, for every soldier you bring, I will reward you with 500 coins."
While listening to everyone's stories, Wang Dahu looked at them and nodded in sudden realization.
"Officers and soldiers?"
Seeing that everyone agreed, Wang Dahu couldn't help but laugh.
No wonder some soldiers came to surrender.
What can they say at this point?
If they started quarreling or fighting, they would all be exposed and die.
Even if the dynasty is not afraid of being too powerful to be controlled or of rebellion, it is unwilling to see the emergence of such an almost completely independent private power.
"Okay, okay, okay! We will stay here and we won't move."
Thinking of this, everyone felt relieved.
On the other side, a group of more than a dozen Ming army soldiers quietly came to the outside of Xining Wei City.
"Hahaha, okay!
For example, the commander of a battalion with more than 5,000 men will have a fifty-man guard team dedicated to protecting the commander.
"General, could this be a trick?"
Seeing everyone's hesitation, Wang Dahu suddenly thought of the gold and silver confiscated in the city and what the leader had said.
If the news leaks out, they will lose their heads.
"Take me one."
Hearing the voice coming from behind them, the two men stiffened again and looked back mechanically, feeling extremely frightened.
"Add me"
"what?"
When they were discovered, the Ming army hurried to explain, fearing that if they were a little slower they would be killed, which would be an unjust death.
However, Li Zicheng should not have been laid off yet, and is still working as a small postman in Mizhi.
It’s death, it’s death, it’s really death this time.
We had no choice but to do this.”
Wang Dahu couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.
“Haha, after General Yang took over our leadership, our food is pretty good.
He had heard the leader mention General Yang Jiamo.
"Of course, but don't let it go to waste!"
When the two looked over, they saw a man walking towards them quickly.
"Yes!"
Rather than the Ming Dynasty's personal soldiers, they were almost completely private soldiers.
However, they were also given a task, which was to recruit more soldiers.
In fact, if they were willing to share some of the money, I'm afraid many people would come forward on their own initiative.
"Hey, you two, take me with you."
"Don't do it, don't do it."
"Listen up, everyone down there. Stay where you are and don't move. We have someone to notify the general."
But would anyone be so unwise as to withhold food from soldiers on the battlefield?
If this is true, then we can only say that greed has blinded one's mind.
But in fact, except for those servants and personal soldiers, ordinary border soldiers do not necessarily receive full military pay.
"Let's go together"
After pulling the people up, Wang Dahu looked up and down at the Ming soldiers who seemed to have weak legs and pale faces, and he didn't know if it was because of the fright just now.
After coming closer, the man spoke again.
After looking at each other, the group finally turned around and left in silence, soon disappearing into the night.
In fact, they didn't wait long, less than a quarter of an hour in total.
"Yes, yes, we are here to surrender."
They are also a formal military sequence. They are under the command of the commander-in-chief. While they will do their best to protect the commander-in-chief, they will also obey the orders assigned by their superiors.
"I wonder how the Salvation Army will treat these surrendered soldiers?"
"Haha, of course it's true.
Just five hundred coins, I don't even take it seriously.
If you have the ability to bring all the Ming troops on the other side, what does it matter if I give you 5,000 taels of silver, or even 50,000 or 100,000 taels of silver?"
Not to mention the most delicious food, but at least we can guarantee three meals a day during wartime.
"Ha! There are only a dozen of them. I'll give them a hand."
After some thought, Wang Dahu decided to accept them.
After Li Hu and others were ready, someone immediately lowered the rope basket.
"Listen, everyone below. If you really want to surrender, then enter the hanging basket.
We will pull you up.”
The guard was established by the dynasty based on the later guard forces and the Ming Dynasty's personal guards. It was mainly used to protect generals and important figures.
After all, this concerns their lives and property.
And now, as long as they can recruit a soldier, they can easily get one or two taels of silver, so what is there to hesitate about?
Fight!
But the current kingdom has indeed withheld food and wages from the soldiers.
"Done!"
"You want to submit to my army to save the people?"
Before the three of them set off, voices rang out one after another behind them.
"who?"
This is one tael of silver, which they may not be able to earn in a year.
"You guys stay here and I'll go inform the general."
The patrol sentries listened to the chaotic explanations from below and could not help but look at each other in confusion.
"Sir, when will your general come and let us into the city?"
"Why are you arguing? Just wait. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
After all, they are soldiers with extraordinary powers. What kind of trouble can a dozen ordinary people cause in their territory?
Looking at the hanging basket in front of them, more than a dozen Ming soldiers looked at each other for a moment, and finally entered the hanging basket one after another.
At the same time, these people looked a little thin and seemed malnourished.
"Oh!"
The reason is very simple. The personal soldiers of this era are more like private soldiers. Everything for them is provided by the generals themselves, so they naturally only obey the orders of the generals.
In that case, should he turn the garbage into money and spend it?
"Five hundred coins!"
Not to mention other generals and high-ranking officials, even the emperor's orders may not always work.
It's just that the torment of waiting for the unknown makes their perceived time seem longer.
If they had not been comprised of only a dozen people and did not look like a night attack, they would have drawn their bows and arrows and shot them like a hornet's nest.
Seeing everyone's hesitation, Wang Dahu smiled slightly and said again:
"Why? You are soldiers, and we are just rebels."
Now it seems like they are surrounded?
Everyone had their own thoughts in mind. They glanced at other hidden places covertly and left tacitly.
Wang Dahu looked at everyone in surprise.
One of them smiled bitterly and said:
"Yes, yes! We want to surrender, we want to surrender to the Salvation Army."
By the end, they had gathered more than ten people.
If they bring all the Ming troops on the opposite side, they will admit that they do not have the ability to do so.
"Yes!"
Hearing the inquiries from below, the salvation army above could not help but shout loudly.
Huzi, have someone take them downstairs and treat them to delicious food and drinks."
"Ah~?"
A person like this would never be so harsh on his soldiers.
However, they still felt somewhat confident if they brought some familiar soldiers with them.
"General, General, don't do it, don't do it, I am here to surrender."
The captain of the guard team, Li Hu, signaled all members of the guard team to be on guard secretly and be ready to take action at any time.
"Ok?"
"Lower the basket and pull them up."
After arriving at the canteen of the People's Salvation Army and seeing the sumptuous meals, even meat, the dozen or so Ming soldiers' eyes widened instantly and their stomachs began to growl again.
This silver is money only when it is spent. The silver piled up in the warehouse is just a pile of useless garbage, just lumps of gold and silver.
Li Hu and others thought about it and it seemed to be true.
Therefore, the dynasty specially established a guard force.
In fact, in the original history, the kingdom withheld soldiers' food and wages, which led to a mutiny among soldiers.
Everyone looked at each other, and they could all see each other's excitement.
However, this is also very dangerous.
But soon, the two of them realized that the person behind them meant to take him with them.
In fact, if you can get half of it, you should be thankful. It is normal not to see even a tael of silver in the whole year.
Li Hu looked down and said with some concern.
"Well, this, this, and this"
At this moment, everyone abandoned everything else and only focused on the sumptuous meal in front of them.
