As a result, as soon as he went out, he heard the noise outside the camp and asked, "What happened outside the camp? Why do it seem like so many people are gathering together?"
The officer on duty immediately stepped forward and said: "Young Marshal, nothing happened outside. It's just that the family members of the soldiers heard that not only will their wages be paid today, but their previous arrears will also be repaid, so they all came to watch the fun!"
Liu Haojia felt relieved after hearing this, but he still said curiously: "To make such a big noise, I'm afraid there must be one or two thousand people, right?"
The officer on duty smiled bitterly and said: "Young Marshal, you haven't seen it. It's definitely more than four thousand! Especially those children who are noisy every one of them, and can be as loud as two or three adults!"
Liu Haojia laughed loudly and said, "Well, today is a good day, and let the soldiers' families celebrate with them!"
At this moment, Li Wenliang stepped forward and said: "Young Marshal, I have a suggestion that I want to make, but I don't know whether to take it seriously or not?"
Liu Haojia put on her glasses and said: "You always know that I can listen to what I say. If there is anything else that should be said or not! Tell me!"
Li Wenliang said: "I think we should immediately dispatch a group of soldiers from the Beiyang Fleet to Quanzhou City to help maintain order! Because these soldiers who have been paid will immediately go to the city to purchase what they need, and these more than 10,000 people will support the elderly and the young. When people enter the city, how crowded will it be?"
Liu Haojia's eyes turned black just by imagining it! He patted his forehead and said, "That's a good suggestion! Go in person and bring more people with you!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Haojia paused and said as if he had remembered something: "You look like you have experienced this once? Is that what you said when Dengzhou was there?"
Li Wenliang said with a wry smile: "That's right! After the salaries were paid, the brothers all took their wives and children into the city, preparing to pull some cloth for their wives and buy some meat for their children! As a result, too many people came in at once, and we almost The city was completely overcrowded! At that time, the officials in Dengzhou thought there was a mutiny and asked us for help, which made a big joke!"
When Liu Haojia heard this, no one laughed. Instead, he said with a serious expression: "What does this mean? To cause such a thing just after paying a salary can only mean that the soldiers are living too hard on weekdays! We can't just You want the soldiers to abandon their families and careers to protect their homes and the country, and then let their families not even have enough to eat! This situation is wrong and must be changed! I can't control other places, and the Navy must not be like this! "
Li Wenliang and other officers were very moved when they heard this. They stood at attention and said in unison: "Young Marshal is wise!"
Liu Haojia patted Li Wenliang's arm and said, "Okay, stop flattering us here and take people to the city quickly, but you must explain the situation to the local officials in advance to avoid any trouble!"
Liu Haojia then led the officers directly to the school grounds. As soon as he showed up, a soldier shouted loudly: "The young marshal is here!"
Immediately, the scene became a little chaotic, and then the soldiers on duty rushed into the crowd, shouted abuses, and beat them with sticks to calm down the commotion!
When Liu Haojia got to the general stand, he felt quite emotional when he looked at the densely packed soldiers below! These soldiers were paid the least and did the most dangerous things. Compared with them, the officials in the court were like clowns! But now that he's here, some things are destined to change!
Thinking of this, he said loudly: "Brothers, today is the day to pay you. I have a few words to say to you!"
Liu Haojia paused here. He looked at the soldiers below. Although they couldn't see their faces clearly, he felt their eyes focused on him! There is hope, joy, and a hint of fanaticism in it!
So he took a deep breath and said loudly: "The world always says that good men don't make nails, and good men don't serve as soldiers! But they don't think about it. If it weren't for us, what they call Qiuba, the Mongols would invade the Central Plains again and destroy this country. The mountains and rivers have turned into their pastures again! So don’t believe what they say, every one of you standing here is a real hero! You are worthy of the title of hero!"
When Liu Haojia first spoke, there was still a slight commotion among the soldiers below. Some were eager to receive their pay and did not want to listen to him; some followed the people around them to discuss what to do after receiving the money; Some people just hummed a tune happily; some even felt that he was going to say something loyal and patriotic again, and they complained because they didn't want to hear it.
But they never expected that the man on the high platform would actually say these words and admit that they were heroes! At this moment, the entire school grounds was eerily quiet, and even the soldiers in the farthest distance could hear Liu Haojia's words! And all the soldiers pricked up their ears, not wanting to miss every word he said!
Then Liu Haojia said: "I have been to the place where you live, but the result made me very unhappy! Because what I saw were dilapidated houses, women with patches on their clothes, children with disheveled faces, and The old man with a desolate expression! Whenever I think of this scene, I feel very guilty! Because we officials are not good and failed to take good care of you! Especially the actions of some of us make you even more miserable. These heroes shed blood and tears!"
The soldiers stopped lending money to him, and when they thought about the situation at home, they all couldn't help but darken their faces! They feel that as the head of the family, they cannot take good care of their wives, children, and children, and they feel very guilty! At the same time, hope was rekindled in their hearts! Maybe this young marshal is different from the previous officers! So they listened to Liu Haojia's speech more attentively!
At this time, Liu Haojia took a deep breath and said loudly: "But from today on, this kind of thing will never happen again! You all remember, our navy's pay is real double pay! If someone takes advantage of it, you can go directly to the military Go sue him in the judge! If the military judge can't solve the problem, you can come to me. I will definitely make him regret coming to this world! We soldiers must live like human beings! Okay, if it's too much, it won't be I told you, pay!"
As soon as Liu Haojia finished speaking, the soldiers immediately shouted like a landslide and tsunami: "I am willing to die for the Marshal/Young Marshal!"
Liu Haojia heard some of the soldiers below calling him Marshal and some calling him Marshal, so he laughed and cursed loudly and said: "Don't you fucking shout nonsense, my father is not dead yet! Remember, I am now the Young Marshal." Handsome! Young Marshal!"
The soldiers below naturally laughed when they heard this, and the atmosphere was extremely happy! Even Liu Haojia's officers were infected! One of the officers smiled and said: "Don't worry, Young Marshal, no one else can take away this navy except you!"
