Chapter 24: Returning with a load

In the frightened eyes of the old and young people of the Gao family, Gao Xunqi was tied up and held in front of Zhao Yan. Gao Xunqi twisted his fat body and shouted loudly: "What are you doing! What are you doing!"

"Gao Xunqi, do you know your guilt?" Zhao Yan asked. Gao Xunqi paused and looked at Zhao Yan who was making a sound. He saw that this was a young man.

"You and I have no grudges or grudges. Just take the money and food. What else do you want? Gao is a juren of the current dynasty, so why is it a crime?" Gao Xunqi said angrily.

"No grievance or grudge? A joke. You said before you attacked the land of my Zhao family, robbed thirty plowing oxen of my Zhao family, and killed more than ten people of my Zhao family. If you don't take this revenge, what's the face of my Zhao family?" Zhao Yan sneered, "You are a juren of the current dynasty, why are you still robbing like a bandit? Now, I will chop you down and send your head to the county town to report to the officials."

Gao Xunqi immediately stayed on the spot. He originally thought that Zhao Yan and his group were just bandits who came to steal food and generally did not do things too well, but he did not expect that it was the Zhao family forty miles away.

He also had contact with Zhao Gui. Both sides had conflicts and had acted on the show. He once called his brother and brother. He hurriedly said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, nephew Zhao is misunderstanding! I have a close friend with Lingzun. My Gao family didn't know what happened before. He was a member of the Zhao family. If he knew, he would not have done this."

"The best friend?" Zhao Yan smiled, "Even if it is the best friend, Gao Xunqi you are a bad place, the heaven will not allow you. People will come."

The servant behind Zhao Yan immediately stepped forward.

"Drag it down and chop it up for me." Zhao Yan shouted.

"Yes!" The servant took the order and dragged Gao Xunqi directly. Gao Xunqi screamed, but it was useless. After a while, the servant came back with a hideous head.

The Gao family members were trembling, and Zhao Yan ordered again: "For example, the crimes are reported to be made in each village and village to make a slut."

"yes."

Zhao Yan stood up from his seat, surrounded by servants, walked to the Gao family members, and said loudly: "Who is the custodian?"

"The villain is the chief security guard of Gaojiazhai." An old man with white hair stood up and responded.

"As the chief of security, you have poor supervision and are willing to allow the disciples of the Gao family to be bandits. From now on, my Zhao family will send someone to serve as the chief of security, so you can take care of your old age at home!" Zhao Yan said directly, ignoring the reactions of the people from the Gao family.

"As for the order." The chief security officer is a respected person of the Gao family. The Gao family has built a village to protect themselves, but it is not within the jurisdiction of the government. "I dare to ask Mr. Zhao, how do you deal with my Gao family? My Gao family's bandits are actually Gao Xunqi's threat to follow the clan. I hope Mr. Zhao will observe clearly."

"The main evil has been eliminated, so I will not hold you accountable. In the future, you can farm with peace of mind under the jurisdiction of my Zhao family." Zhao Yan replied, hundreds of Gao family members immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Zhao Yan asked someone to return their property and let the Gao family go home. However, the Gao family did not dare to act rashly this time and immediately went to collect the corpses of the clan.

...

At noon, everything was handled clearly, and Zhao Yan brought people back to Zhaojiabao. The initial inventory of the proceeds of this battle was completed, and 300 taels of gold, 500 taels of silver, 12,000 mu of land, 3,000 stones of grain. In addition, hundreds of mules, 34 horses, 100 oxen oxen, and several weapons were seized.

The weapons used by the Gao family were all made for a lot of money, and even equipped the clan soldiers with thirty-four horses. There were a large number of mules and oxen, all of which were accumulated from looting.

One person was killed in this battle and was attacked by the Gao family.

With a large amount of supplies, they returned to Zhaojiabao until the evening. Everyone in Zhaojiabao had already heard the good news and came out to greet him.

When Zhang heard that his son was fighting fiercely, he hid in the Buddhist temple and kept reciting scriptures. Zhao Quan asked someone to prepare the food early.

Zhao Yan handed Gao Xunqi's head to Zhao Quan and asked him to send people to various villages to pass the head tomorrow. Zhao Quan immediately arranged personnel overnight and determined the route.

At night, Zhao Yan summoned his subordinates and held a summary meeting to summarize the experience of this battle.

This battle showed many problems, such as the army structure was too single, and the spearmen left the team to chase the enemy during the battle, etc.

The biggest support for spearmen is the square formation. If you have a square formation, you can stand undefeated. If you pursue the enemy in battle, once the enemy counterattacks, you will fall into crisis and may even be defeated.

But the army structure is too single, so we can only pursue the enemy with spearmen.

It is naturally not a problem to deal with those thugs of bandits, but if they face the Qing cavalry, they may be hit by the destruction.

But there is another problem, that is, the training is not enough. The queue is barely passing at the beginning of the battle, but the queues behind become unclear and messy.

Training is still not enough, after all, it is still short to become an army.

After reviewing these issues, Zhao Yan began to issue rewards for this battle. In terms of rewards, Zhao Yan set a regulations to ensure that the share of rewards was one-third of the seized movable property. The other third was subject to civil affairs and one-third was subject to military expenses.

The land seized this time is real estate that is not rewarded.

The reward method is to get twice the first merit and 1.5 times the superiors will not reward those who violate military law in battle.

The first contribution of this battle was Zhao Yan himself, so the rewards were distributed evenly this time. Each servant received eight taels of silver, and Zhao Yong, Lin Yi and Wang Wenyue received ten taels of silver.

The servants who received the money were all happy, especially those who had just become servants, who were even more excited.

They have become servants of the Zhao family for less than a month, and before they have received the salary, they have already received a considerable amount of money.

"This great victory cannot be taken lightly. There are many enemies that will face in the aftermath. A big competition will be held in a month. If you can't keep up with the training, you will be eliminated from the monks and go to the village to farm!" Zhao Yan announced in public, "At least thirty people will be eliminated, or even more."

The servants who were so excited just now were immediately poured with cold water and their faces became solemn. The servants in the Zhao family were definitely treated generously. If they became one of the thirty people, they would have to return to their true colors.

"In addition, if anyone feels that he has too much money and goes to participate in gambling, he can also go out to farm." Zhao Yan said coldly.

"Do you understand?" Zhao Yan asked.

"I understand." The servants replied in unison.

"Okay, the meeting ended."

...

The next day, Zhao Yan took his servants to hold a funeral early in the morning. The one who was buried was the servant who died in Gaojiazhai.

"The fallen soldier Li Dagou has no family members alive. Li Dagou's family died of famine, and the silver will be used to provide relief to the victims. Everyone has it, and they will be silent." Zhao Yan said loudly.

Everyone immediately lowered their heads and was silent. After three minutes of silence, they presented flowers and announced that they would be disbanded for two days on holiday.

What Zhao Yan did was just to tell them. If he died, the Zhao family would help you bury it. It would be necessary to burn paper money when he sweeping the grave every year, so that he would dispel their concerns.

As long as soldiers are not afraid of death, why worry about not being able to stabilize the world?
