Wealth can stimulate the morale of the army, but wealth can also weaken the morale of the army. Especially the overly huge wealth is placed in front of the soldiers after the bloody battle. These soldiers who were still fighting bravely to the enemy a second ago have a different mind at this moment.

Gold, silver, and various jewelry were carried down boxes after boxes in front of the soldiers. Due to the tight time and heavy tasks, the Russian army did not have too many boxes to hold these gold ingots and silver ingots. Most of the time, they used open ammunition boxes to transport gold ingots to the foot of the mountain.

In the panic, people forgot to cover the lid. The gold was shining brightly by the fire of war. The light shone into the soldiers' eyes and could not be pulled out. The sound of soldiers swallowing saliva all the way through the gold.

"How many can we get after you go back?" A soldier asked in a low voice.

"God knows? But the commander said that soldiers who break through the enemy's fortress can give one kilogram of gold as a reward!"

"Fuck, there is no kilogram. I just saw these gold ingots, all of which were cast ten kilograms per piece, which should be ten kilograms per person!"

Soon someone joined the discussion, "Stop talking nonsense, everyone gives ten kilograms? In the just-in-one charge, we invested a total of 10,000 troops. Could we distribute 100,000 kilograms of gold? Let me tell you the truth, these golds are all from His Majesty. The empire's finances are very tight, and these golds may be transported directly to the City of London to raise funds and repay debts..."

The atmosphere suddenly became strange. If the gold was dedicated to the Tsar, then everything was easy to say. The soldiers' emotions could still be stabilized. However, when they heard that the gold was going to be sent directly to London, a financial center in Europe, to the British, they were immediately unhappy.

"Why are our gold given to those damn pirates? Are they not rich in occupying the trade routes on the sea? Greedy vampires!"

In this era, the education penetration rate in Russia was still very low. Not only was it impossible to compare with Southern Europe, but it was a little worse than that of the Qing Dynasty. These soldiers who had just gotten rid of their serfs were loyal, and brave, but they were really brave.

They don’t know what bank loans are, nor what state bonds are. They don’t understand the complex interest, what is national credit? Can they eat or not?

This knowledge is completely unfamiliar to them. They just understood a question with the simplest emotions. How come the gold we snatched with our lives was given to foreigners in vain?

They had no idea that the Tsar had long squeezed out the treasury in order to redeem their slave status and borrowed a lot of debts from European bankers. Tsarist Russia had long been in a fiscal crisis.

Elkeson didn't know that rumors were spreading among the crowd like a deadly virus, and as more gold was transported down the mountain, the wider the spread of the deadly virus. In the end, almost 20,000 Tangwan Mountain Russian troops were all talking about this topic.

People's eyes when they looked at Gold became worse and worse, and their morale suddenly turned into a resentful anger at this moment.

Why should the gold we exchange for with our lives be given to foreigners for nothing?

Where is the reward promised in advance? Didn’t you agree to give gold?

This is all the gold of His Majesty the Tsar. Do these officers want to be corrupt?

Damn it, why are there so much gold, and why can't you finish it?

Once the human heart grows grass, it will continue to fly like crazy. In addition, Xiao Letian has so much gold hidden, and it has been transported for an hour, but there is no sign of it being shipped.

The soldiers with simple emotions were so distressed that they were about to cry. They never dreamed that they would have so much wealth! Many people were so anxious that they were almost crying, as if the gold would be sent to the British pockets in the next second.

Under the influence of this complex emotion, the soldiers attacking the fortress of the C-shaped library and the fortifications on the top of the mountain suddenly changed a lot, and the attack was no longer sharp. Several charges that could be broken through were beaten back by the Chinese counterattack, and the war bear suddenly turned into a sheep.

Unfortunately, Exon and others have fallen into the joy brought by huge wealth and have not noticed the psychological fluctuations of the soldiers.

This may be the sequelae of aristocratic education! He could not understand the poor's desire for wealth, just like a beggar who had never eaten a full meal in his life and was always struggling on the brink of hunger and death suddenly encountered a big meal. The greed for food cannot be described in words.

These young people from serfs grew up in extreme poverty from their childhood, childhood, and youth. They have never seen gold and have not eaten enough for a few times.

Children who grew up in this environment, when they first see such a huge amount of wealth, can't resist the greed in their hearts. Once the greed rises rapidly, they will forget their tasks, their current identity, and what they should do.

The dark night is cloudy, and there are no moons or stars in the sky. In an era when humans cannot use electricity, lighting can only rely on flames. The terrain of the Tangwan Mountain is complex and covers a vast area. Even if 20,000 people, one person and two torches cannot illuminate the mountain.

The team transporting gold soon had an accident. First, someone stepped on the gravel with one foot. The shell box that the two carried was suddenly overturned, and the heavy gold nuggets spread all over the ground, making a crisp collision sound.

"Damn it, how did you walk? Don't you have eyes?" the chief cursed angrily.

"Sorry, sir! It's too dark here, I can't see the way under my feet..." Just as the soldiers explained, no one noticed that he suddenly stretched out a hand in the darkness, pinched a piece of gold ingot and dragged it into the bush, so fast that no one noticed it.

After a while, in the woods not far from the mountain road, three soldiers looked at the golden ingot in front of them greedily under the light of a kerosene lamp.

"Ten kilograms! Each of us can divide a large piece, which is enough for us to buy a lot of land when we go home..."

"But how should we take it away? We have to go to the Far East to fight. This thing is so big and heavy, how can we get it on board?"

"You are stupid! Find a place to bury it. Anyway, this island will be ours from Russia in the future. Find an opportunity to dig it out!"

"Yes, you're still smart. Hurry up and dig the pit and hide the gold..."

Just as the three of them were digging a hole, one of them suddenly said, "Wait? Why do you only hide one piece of gold? Since you have stolen once, why don't you steal three times? There are many opportunities for gold! Why don't each person share one piece of gold? Why do three people share one piece of gold?"

One word wakes up the dreamer, right! I am stupid, gold is like a mountain. It seems that at least we have to transport it until dawn. Why should we hide one piece? Then go and steal it.

The three of them looked at each other, smiled and turned their heads and got into the night again.

This is the mentality of the poor being rich. He must release all his greed for half his life. At this time, there is no reason. Military law has long been thrown into the Pacific Ocean.
