Everyone rested in Shen Yuan for an afternoon. That night, Shen Yi held a banquet in Shen Yuan. Together with the new commander-in-chief Li Mu, he hosted a banquet for the generals who fought against the Japanese army.
These generals with more than 100 households will become the backbone of the subsequent Coastal Capital Command and Envoy Department, and they will also be assigned to become the generals of the Five Coastal Guards.
The current establishment of the Anti-Japanese Army is only at the "guard" level, and this year, the entire Anti-Japanese Army will change from one guard to five guards. In other words, although not every one of these hundreds of households can be promoted to a thousand households, almost every From two hundred households, one person will be promoted to a thousand households!
】
Even if you are not qualified enough to be promoted to Qianhu, you can still hold the position of Qianhu as a Baihu.
All in all, the fifty or so hundred households present, and the young ones at that, will become the backbone of the Coastal Capital Division, and even become prominent figures in the Coastal Capital Division in the future.
One day, when the emperor wants to use them to do things, these people may become the future military bosses of Dachen!
There were almost sixty people in total, and six tables were set up. Shen Yi, Li Mu, Ling Su, Xue Wei, Cheng Tingzhi and the five anti-Japanese army thousand households sat at one table, and the other hundred households also had ten people at each table.
However, Li Mu didn't really want to get too close to these actual generals. After meeting them once, before the banquet was over, he excused himself from drinking too much and went down to rest.
The home court was handed over to Shen Yi.
Because most of them were soldiers and they were sitting together drinking, the atmosphere was still very lively. Halfway through the banquet, everyone started shouting. Even Xue Wei started to fistfight with two familiar Qianhu, and his face turned red.
Mr. Shen drank with Cheng Tingzhi. After Mr. Cheng drank until his face turned red, he was helped down to rest.
After Cheng Tingzhi left, Shen Yi raised his head and took a sip of wine, then reached out and knocked on the table.
"I have something to say."
His voice was not loud, but it was enough for the few people at the same table to hear.
Xue Wei was originally punching, but he stopped immediately after hearing this.
And Ling Su stood up directly and shouted to the hundreds of people at other tables: "Silence!"
Xue Wei also stood up. He left the table directly, ran to other tables, and shouted: "Silence, Mr. Shen has something to teach you!"
Soon, everyone present fell silent.
Everyone stood up from their chairs.
Mr. Shen then stood up and glanced at everyone.
He walked up to everyone and said: "Originally, today is a happy day for everyone to sit together and eat together. I shouldn't spoil everyone's happiness, but it is rare that you are all here today. I have been thinking about some things in my heart for a long time. With the help of This is an opportunity to tell everyone about it.”
Mr. Shen put his hands behind his back and tried to make his voice as loud as possible.
After coughing, he continued: "Except for General Ling and Liu Mingyuan, a member of the former Linhai Guards, the other fifty-five people present today had no official or postal positions at the beginning of the establishment of the Anti-Japanese Army. pawn."
Liu Mingyuan was Ling Su's subordinate in Linhaiwei. He was one of the 100 households in Linhaiwei. He followed Ling Su and joined the anti-Japanese army. Now he is one of the five thousand households in the anti-Japanese army.
He is also the Qianhu with the highest qualifications, and his seniority is far higher than that of Xue Wei.
Mr. Shen glanced at everyone and continued: "Most of you here have already bought houses, purchased land, married wives and had children."
The anti-Japanese soldiers were treated very well and the rewards were also very high.
If these people here can be promoted to a hundred households, they must have killed Japanese pirates on the battlefield, and killed more than one.
These rewards alone are enough for them to settle down and start a family.
At this point, Shen Yi paused and continued: "There is a piece of news that I won't tell you, but you may have heard about it. This year our Anti-Japanese Army will be promoted to the Coastal Capital Command. All of you here will be They were assigned to Songjiang, Wenzhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou and Guangzhou to establish five health centers."
"When the time comes, you will most likely be promoted."
“People say that you will get rich if you get promoted, and you will get rich if you get promoted.”
Master Shen looked at everyone and said slowly: "I hope that after you get promoted, you will be more restrained when it comes to making money."
Shen Yi narrowed his eyes and continued: "You can sit here, be a member of hundreds of households, have military merits on your body, and have Japanese pirate heads on your hands. You have performed well in the fight against the Japanese army. I hope you will one day After leaving Yueqing, I can still be like this wherever I go."
"In the future, when you become a thousand households, a deputy commander or even a commander, don't forget the days when you fought bravely against the Japanese army."
"Don't forget how your superiors treated you when you were just pawns."
Shen Yi said in a deep voice: "Since the establishment of the Anti-Japanese Army, no one's military merit has been underestimated, no military pay has been deducted, no reward has been less than a penny, and no pension has been less than a penny!"
"One day, when it comes time for you to distribute military pay, pensions, and rewards to the people below, think about the days when you fought against the Japanese army."
"Touch your conscience."
At this point, Mr. Shen sighed and said: "I know that most of you can listen to what I said here today, but in the future, boxes and boxes of silver will be placed in front of you. At that time, what Shen said today was no different from farting."
"So, there's no point in talking."
Shen Yi glanced at the crowd and said slowly: "The anti-Japanese army must be divided into five. I can't manage five places by myself, let alone be divided into five people. I can't know all the evil you do in the place. .”
"If I don't know, I will pretend that you have not committed any crime."
"but…"
Mr. Shen said solemnly: "If I find out, you will deduct military pay, military merit, and even pension!"
"Then don't blame Mr. Shen for not missing the friendship of fighting side by side for the past two years!"
Every group, as long as it can accomplish things, will definitely be good and upward at the beginning of its establishment.
But as the group grows bigger, some people will gradually become bad.
You can withstand the cannonballs on the battlefield, but it is difficult to withstand the sugar-coated cannonballs.
Although this kind of deterioration will not be particularly fast, at least within three to five years, these people who were separated from the anti-Japanese army should be able to maintain their purity, but Shen Yi still has to tell them the ugly things up front.
At this point, Shen Yi's words were almost finished. After a pause, he said his last words.
"I hope you can remember what I said today, even if one day Shen is no longer in Southeast."
"What I said today."
He narrowed his eyes with murderous intent.
"It still counts!"
Hearing this, fifty hundred households and five thousand households all bowed their heads and clasped their fists at Shen Yi. Liu Mingyuan from the thousand households took the lead in shouting.
"Master Shen's instructions will be remembered by all my subordinates!"
So more than fifty people all said in unison: "Mr. Shen's instructions, my subordinates will take them to heart!"
"OK OK."
Mr. Shen waved his hand indifferently: "I've finished my words. Let's sit down and continue drinking. It ruins everyone's happiness."
Everyone then took a deep breath and sat down one after another.
Shen Yi also returned to his position.
He glanced at the two commanders at the same table, one from a thousand households, and said with a smile: "Didn't I spoil your interest?"
"No."
Ling Su lowered his head slightly and said, "What you said are all good words, and I will keep them in mind."
Xue Wei also bowed his head respectfully and said nothing.
Shen Yi stretched out his hand to take a bite of vegetables, looked at Xue Wei while eating, and said calmly: "General Xue, you can take three thousand-household battalions south to Fuzhou in the next few days, and repair in Fuzhou for a while to prepare for the suppression of Japanese invaders in Guangdong. "
"I'll give you half a year to clean up the Japanese pirates in Guangdong."
Xue Wei was stunned and asked: "Three Thousand Household Camps?"
There were a total of five thousand-household battalions in the anti-Japanese army, three of which were under Ling Su and two were under Xue Wei.
This is what made Xue Wei stunned.
Ling Su quickly lowered his head and said: "Three Thousand Household Camps are just three Thousand Household Camps. General Xue can choose them as he pleases."
Shen Yi shook his head and continued: "You take three thousand-household battalions to Fuzhou for repairs, then leave one thousand-household battalion to station in Fuzhou, and you take two thousand-household battalions south to Guangdong."
"any questions?"
Xue Wei nodded respectfully: "I obey!"
Shen Yi looked at Ling Su again. He smiled and said: "General Ling, please stay in Yueqing for a while longer and recruit 4,000 new soldiers in Yueqing. In the future, you will leave 1,000 veterans in Yueqing to form the Wenzhou Guard."
"After the Wenzhou Guard is completed, you take another thousand veterans to Songjiang Prefecture and establish the Songjiang Guard."
Speaking of this, Shen Yi asked: "Can it be done in half a year?"
Ling Su bowed his head respectfully and said, "Back to Mr. Shen, it will definitely be no problem to recruit troops within half a year. The main thing is to train troops. I'm afraid it will take a year."
"Pull up the guard station first, and take your time with the training."
Ling Su then lowered his head and said, "No problem."
"Um…"
After Shen Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, he looked at Ling Su and Xue Wei.
"The Dusi Yamen will be established in Fuzhou. Half a year later, I will be waiting for the two generals in Fuzhou."
When Ling Su and Xue Wei heard this, they both stood up and clasped their fists respectfully: "I obey!"
The two of them looked at each other and saw only two words in each other's eyes.
compete.
Compete for what?
Everyone knows the same thing!
Although there are two vacancies for this position, the qualifications of both of them are still far from this position.
Especially Xue Wei.
The current Xue Wei is not enough to be the commander of one of the five guards.
