On the battlefield, the three pieces of cotton cloth per person that Ye Mingsheng promised were mainly given to the soldiers, but the generals here now naturally need additional rewards!
Feeling the eyes of everyone, Ye Mingsheng naturally knew what everyone was thinking. This battle was his first battle in the Zhenwu Army, and he fought very beautifully, which made him stand out among the Zhenwu Army. Therefore, he was very satisfied and naturally did not want to dampen everyone's interest.
In addition, Ye Mingsheng also intends to take this opportunity to win over people's hearts and unite everyone around a small group with him as the core.
He looked around at everyone in the hall, and his eyes immediately fell on Yuan Song, who was standing first on his left.
"This battle was able to annihilate the bandit Hongmin's troops in one fell swoop with dozens of casualties. General Yuan should be the first to take the credit!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Mingsheng took out two banknotes from his arms and handed them to Yuan Song.
Looking at the two silver notes handed over by Ye Mingsheng, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Yuan Song's face. This one bank note is one hundred taels, and two is two hundred taels. He has been frugal for ten years. You may not be able to save so much...
Although he had long heard from his old friend Chen Yannian that Ye Mingsheng was generous with his subordinates and generous with rewards, he was still shocked when he saw the banknote.
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng had given so much to Yuan Song, the eyes of other people present looking at Yuan Song were full of envy and jealousy.
"My lord, this is too much!"
Under the gaze of everyone, Yuan Song, who was honest by nature, swallowed his saliva and did not take the banknote from Ye Mingsheng. Instead, he cupped his fists and declined politely:
Seeing that Yuan Song did not open his eyes at Qian, Ye Mingsheng looked at him with a little more appreciation and said in a deep voice:
"General Yuan deserves this! Don't refuse!"
Yuan Song originally wanted to refuse, but looking at Ye Mingsheng's majestic look, he couldn't refuse. He could only take the banknote and bow deeply to Ye Mingsheng.
This humble Yuan Song can be said to be sincere. He had worked hard for so many years under Shang Haibo, and he was only rewarded with a mere hundred taels of silver, so he followed Ye Mingsheng into a fight. , which has more than doubled compared to the previous years.
If Yuan Song had taken refuge with Ye Mingsheng before, he just wanted to make a living and support his family, but from this moment on, a seed called "loyalty" was planted in his heart by Ye Mingsheng... ·········
Seeing that Yuan Song had gained so much, the fiery eyes of others present were all focused on Ye Mingsheng.
"In this battle, Lin Huaiwu assisted Yuan Song against the enemy, Chen Chuanwu killed Hong Min, and Ye Tietong spread the news. They are all great achievements! They are all rewarded with a hundred taels!" Ye Mingsheng sent out three more one hundred taels of silver notes to be divided among the three. people.
"Thank you for the reward, sir!"
The three of them looked at each other with joy in their eyes and shouted in unison:
After the rewards were given to the four main generals, Ye Mingsheng took out another two hundred taels of silver and distributed them to seven or eight people including Zhang Qinghua, Zhao Han and others.
Everyone was very happy with the rewards and started to sing praises to Ye Mingsheng...
In addition to the rewards, Ye Mingsheng also held a grand banquet in the mansion and entertained everyone. The guests and hosts were very happy for a while.
After sending the others away, Ye Mingsheng found Ye Tie in the study.
Ye Tie, who knew why Ye Mingsheng came to find him, took out a wad of banknotes from his arms and presented them to Ye Mingsheng without Ye Mingsheng opening his mouth as soon as he entered the study.
"Sir, a total of more than 1,700 taels of silver were seized in this battle. Among them, one thousand taels of silver notes were seized from Hong Minshi. The remaining more than 700 taels were seized from other bandit leaders."
"Here are one thousand five hundred taels of silver notes. The remaining two hundred taels are some scattered silver and have been handed over to the treasury."
Ye Mingsheng nodded with satisfaction after accepting the banknote. Counting the reward just now, the cloth promised to be distributed to the soldiers, and the pension for the dead and injured soldiers, he spent a total of thousands of taels of silver on this battle, which was not a lot of money.
But now with this silver subsidy, he has earned an extra seven hundred taels...
It really echoes the old saying - murder and set fire with gold belt, repair bridges and repair roads without corpses!
War and plunder is indeed one of the best ways to accumulate wealth!
The ancients really did not deceive me!
"Master, according to the confession of the captured bandit, the one thousand taels of silver notes Hong Min had were all given by Xing Dalin!" Ye Tie continued to introduce:
Hearing the name "Xing Dalin", Ye Mingsheng's eyes flashed with a cold light.
Although he has not met this general in the Governor's Mansion with his own eyes, he has heard his name many times in the past few days since he came to Liaoyang.
First, he instructed Ma Runchuan to sabotage his recruitment of troops, and then arranged for Hong Min to come and bloodbath the Ye family...
This Song Wenhui really has a good dog!
"Are you ready for the gift for him?" Looking at Ye Tie, Ye Mingsheng asked calmly:
"It's ready! You can send it to him at any time!"
"Very good, send it to him as soon as possible!" Ye Mingsheng said in a deep voice:
"Master, just take a look," Ye Tie said with confidence:
Ye Tie was very reliable in everything he did, so after receiving such a positive reply from him, Ye Mingsheng felt relieved. After pondering for a while, he asked again:
"Ye Tie, have you ever known anyone in Liaoyang who is well-informed in the green forest?"
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's question, Ye Tie was a little unsure of what Ye Mingsheng meant. After hesitating for a few seconds, he tentatively asked:
"I know a few well-informed people, but I don't know what you want to do, young master..."
In response to Ye Tie's inquiry, Ye Mingsheng did not hide anything and said directly:
"I plan to form an intelligence force of my own, like that of the Supervision Department!"
Ye Mingsheng, who comes from the earth, naturally knows how powerful intelligence is, so he has always had the idea of forming an intelligence force. However, due to lack of money and talent, he has never turned this idea into a Reality.
Now that the conditions in all aspects are gradually maturing, as well as the encounter with Hong Min this time, Ye Mingsheng decided to put the idea of forming an intelligence force on the agenda!
Although the bandit Hong Min was not worth mentioning, without the detailed intelligence of the Supervision Department this time, it would have been impossible for Ye Mingsheng to kill Hong Min and eliminate these five hundred bandits so easily.
After hearing Ye Mingsheng's thoughts clearly, Ye Tie was a little surprised and hesitated for a moment. His expression changed and he stopped talking.
Seeing his expression, Ye Mingsheng waved his hand and said seriously: "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't hesitate!"
