1182 two gold coins
"Ugh." A young Chu sailor who stepped ashore vomited continuously.The whole shore was a mess.Flies, birds, and various marine reptiles are everywhere.Blackened blood was everywhere on the beach, and the red water washed away some bodies.
Internal organs, various limbs.And all kinds of cruel deaths are everywhere.
"The bombardment blew up the corpses." The old sailor said, looking at the desolate beach.
"Look and see if there are any survivors. Take all these bodies back. I need to find the captain's body, the first mate, and more." The old sailor didn't know what he was looking for at this moment. up.
"Get all these back to the ship." The old sailor said in a daze.
"Captain, we can't do this. These bodies will rot, so we'll..." This time.A sailor reminded.
"Oh." The old sailor nodded blankly at this moment.He knew it was the only way to do so.
If the corpses were brought back, the hot and humid environment in the south would quickly decompose the corpses, and the most serious thing was that the infectious diseases would destroy the entire ship.At this time, the old sailor was responsible for the lives of the entire ship.And not him alone.
"Pay attention to your surroundings, be careful of those Yue people." A young and cautious sailor shouted loudly holding his rifle.He nervously watched whatever was happening around him.
"Head." At this time, a sailor walked over nervously and said.
"Look at this." A sailor said at this time.
"What?" said the old sailor.
"Look. That thing." Said.The sailor pointed with trembling fingers.
"What is that?" asked the old sailor.
"It seems to be a face, to be exact. It's the face of the first officer." The sailor said at this time.
The old sailor looked back at the sailor.
That's the face of half a person.There is also half a nose and half a mouth, with an eye on top.from half the face.The sailor recognized the face of the first mate.
"It seems that our shells shot that thing out." The old sailor said at this time.
"Yes." Said the sailor.There was also a pulverized body with the upper body blown up nearby.Judging from the lower body of the corpse, there should be nothing wrong with the first officer's corpse.Because only officers would wear boots, and the material of the trousers also fully explained this point.
"Clean it up." The old sailor said at this time.
"Yes. Captain." The sailor nodded.Immediately, the sailors began to clean up the mess, and the battle ended.Chu sailors suffered heavy losses.More than half of the crew of nearly 200 people were killed.Only a crew of less than 40 people managed to manage this warship.This is the biggest loss suffered by the Chu State Navy just after they set off.
Chu's navy suffered a lot.At the same time, the Qi army was reorganizing.Their troops will undergo a major upgrade across the board.
"I know. You are all frustrated and ashamed of the defeat in this war." Tian Heng stood on a chariot and shouted loudly to the gathered soldiers of the Qi army.
"But. The main force of our army is still there, the strength of the Qi army is still there, and the Qi army will surely win." Tian Heng raised his arms loudly and shouted.
But in the entire open space where the army gathered, there was only the sound of the wind blowing and the banners rattling.No one answered, and no one responded.The faces of the soldiers of the Qi army were exhausted, and their uniforms were extremely dirty.Many soldiers stood feebly, looking at Tian Heng blankly.
Tian Heng saw such a scene.What a sad heart.His shouts did not even get a response from the soldiers.
"Huh la la la." Soldiers were everywhere in the open space, but the audience was surprisingly quiet.No one made any sound.All seem so godless, but also appear so pale.
Tian Heng could only silently look at his soldiers.This time lasted about 1 minute.Neither side spoke.
"I know everyone is uncomfortable." Tian Heng took the initiative to break the silence.
"Okay. Let's pay the military salary now. Each general will receive two gold coins. This is your latest military salary." Tian Heng changed his strategy at this time and said loudly.
Quiet.It is still quiet.However, an astonishing turn appeared on the soldier's face, when he didn't hear the military salary.The soldier's face was gloomy, like a terracotta figurine without a soul.They are indistinguishable from the dead, without souls.They just live numbly, alive, without any soul.
However, when he heard that Tian Heng was going to pay the army.There was a trace of vitality on the faces of all the soldiers in an instant.This kind of vitality filled every soldier's body in an instant, like a soul that had left its body and returned to the body in an instant.All the soldiers gathered their spirits at once.
They couldn't believe that Tian Heng would say such a thing.They surprise, doubt, expect.Then there is waiting.All the soldiers were silent for a while.
Seeing the reaction on the soldier's face, a stone in Tian Heng's heart finally fell to the ground.It seems that only reform, military reform, can revitalize this army.
"Come here. Pay the army." At this time.Tian Heng shouted loudly.A large group of guards moved down a dozen large boxes from a group of carriages, all of which were filled with gold coins, which were urgently transported from South Korea.This was Tian Heng's request, and Tian Heng almost didn't think about it.Without discussing some details with the South Korean representative, they signed a formal text contract, and then quickly asked South Korea to provide an emergency loan of 100 million gold.However, the funds borrowed in the previous period must arrive immediately.Because Tian Heng needs to pay military salaries to boost morale.This is the most important morale right now.
"Clatter." All the soldiers exploded at once.Everyone started talking.But more people are crowded up.They want to see if the box contains gold coins.
"Open. Open them all." Tian Heng said loudly.
"Clatter." There was a sound of a box being started.All boxes are opened.All of a sudden, the golden coins were shining brightly, causing all the soldiers to issue them.
"Wow." voice.All the soldiers rushed forward, and if it wasn't for the guards in front of them, they might have dispersed.at this time.All the soldiers no longer had the tired, lifeless, and numb expressions they used to have.All men desire riches, and all men desire all that they have.
"Everyone, stand in line. Line up to receive military pay." At this time, a general shouted loudly.
"Clah la la la." The soldiers who heard such an order.Queue quickly.The soldiers lined up very consciously.And Tian Heng showed a long-lost smile.
"It seems that the military salary is more useful than my order." Tian Heng said to the general beside him with a smile.
The general shook his head.means immediately.And Tian Heng didn't have anything to say to the general shaking his head.
"While distributing the military salary, read out these military orders at the same time!" Tian Heng handed the military order to the general at this time.
"Here." The general said respectfully at this time.
"No. Learn from the Qin military system. The title is, sir. Answer it. Yes." Tian Heng corrected at this time.
"Here. Oh. No. Sir." The general said respectfully at this time.
"You will get used to it." Tian Heng said at this time.Then he stood straight on the chariot and looked at the neatly lined up Qi soldiers with excited faces.
"Military order of the Qi army." At this time, the general shouted loudly.
"Clatter." All the soldiers of the Qi army stood still and obeyed the order.
"The military salary is paid as usual. Everyone listens to the military order and receives the military salary at the same time." At this time.Tian Heng added an order.
"Thank you, Commander. Thank you, Commander." The soldiers of the Qi army shouted happily.And Tian Heng smiled.Then signal with both hands not to speak.
"Listen to the military order." The general shouted loudly.
"From now on. The Qi army imitates the military system of the Qin army. The military salary system and the military rank system are implemented." The general of the Qi army shouted loudly.
And the soldiers heard here.Still don't understand anything.But Tian Heng's military order seems to have fully taken this into consideration.
"The military pay of all soldiers. It depends on the grade. The amount of military pay varies." The general shouted loudly.And all the soldiers pricked up their ears and listened.
"No one is allowed to deduct military pay. Those who deduct military pay will be executed immediately. Soldiers have the right to resist and kill the officer who deducted military pay." The general read out this strange order loudly at this time.
"Oh." Everyone was surprised at this time.This is a strange order.Withholding military pay, soldiers are allowed to launch a mutiny and kill their own officers.This is a strange command.
To some extent, this order is a commercial agreement between the soldiers and the commander-in-chief.The commanders and generals pay the soldiers.And the soldiers obeyed them.If this agreement cannot be implemented.Then the soldiers have no right to continue to maintain this agreement, they will kill their coach and general, and then find another military chief.This seems to have a certain positive meaning. This positive meaning will promote fundamental changes in the military system and the military system through some kind of commercial agreement.And the traditional military service system, which is forced to pull hard, has been completely changed by this military salary system.
