"Look, big brother is back!"
"Brother Nian is back, look, look, look!"
"Hey, there are so many things. Hurry and get a few people to help!"
When Gu Sinian, who was followed by several carriages, strutted into the camp, one or two hundred brothers from Fengchuan County all gathered around him, all of them smiling happily, it was so lively.
Qin Xi squeezed through the crowd and put his hands on his hips:
"Look at you who have no eyesight, big brother, big brother, what should you call me now?
I want to call Master Baihu! "
"Come, follow me and shout, see Gu Baihu!"
"See Gu Baihu!"
"Hahahaha~"
There was constant laughter in the audience, and even Gu Sinian felt a little embarrassed for his shamelessness.
Before Gu Sinian left the General's Mansion, the news spread that he had been granted the title of Hundred Households. The brothers were happy from the bottom of their hearts, as they no longer had to suffer Zhang Lan's arrogance.
Gu Baihu? I’m still not used to this title~
However, he has finally taken the first step in his military career, and the future is promising!
"Brothers, unload the goods for me!"
Gu Sinian pointed to the carriage behind him:
"This is all rewarded to us by the General's Palace, haha!"
"Hurry up and unload the goods!"
"Everyone help!"
The venue was noisy for a long time before it calmed down. Nearly two hundred people sat in a row, all looking at Gu Sinian.
"Ahem."
Gu Sinian cleared his throat and said loudly:
"Everyone must have heard that we fought brilliantly in the battle at Baozigou Beacon, and the general sealed off my hundred households.
And the general said, brothers are all good! No one is a coward! "
"good!"
Everyone was excited and clapped. After all, he was a serious military commander in the imperial court. It was not easy to be praised a few times.
Especially those brothers who participated in the Battle of Fengsui Fort, they puffed up their chests unconsciously. After all, they had fought against the Yan army and won.
Gu Sinian pointed to the carriages and said:
“Those are all rewards from the General’s Mansion.
The general said that I, a hundred households, had the final say as to how many people to choose as camp soldiers, but he only gave one hundred people a share of weapons, food, and wages! "
The whole place was silent, and many people's hearts were lifted.
For one hundred people? Doesn't this mean that only a hundred people can serve as camp soldiers? What if there are still a hundred people left?
After coming to Youtun City for so long, everyone has understood one thing. Whether it is salary or status, there is a huge gap between Xiang Yong and Ying soldiers.
They will never forget the arrogant and arrogant expressions of those camp soldiers.
Even Qin Xi and the others were a little nervous, their palms and backs were full of flesh. Who would Gu Sinian choose to become camp soldiers?
"My decision is."
Gu Sinian drew out a long note and deliberately let it slip:
“From today on, all brothers are camp soldiers!
We don't differentiate between you and me, we are all the same. No matter how much food or salary the boss gives me, we two hundred brothers will share it equally! If there is a gap, we will find a way to fill it ourselves!
We share the blessings and bear the hardships together! "
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into shocking cheers:
"Okay! Baihu is right!"
"We share the blessings and bear the hardships together!"
Gu Sinian's decision successfully conquered everyone. They all became camp soldiers, so there was nothing to worry about. It was just that the treatment was equally divided, which was much better than the rural warriors who didn't have enough to eat.
Other hundreds of households may have around a hundred people under their control, but Gu Sinian is better off. One hundred households have two hundred people in their hands, which is extremely rich.
"Okay, okay, just be quiet."
Gu Sinian continued:
"According to the military regulations of our Liang Army, we also need a deputy 100 households, two general flags, and two deputy flags. I already have an idea for these five candidates."
Everyone fell silent. These five people were equivalent to several leaders in the army.
A hundred households are divided into two general banners, and each banner is supposed to have fifty people. According to Gu Sinian's size, each banner now has a hundred people.
Gu Sinian said methodically:
"Xiao Liuzi, you have been following me for a long time, and you will still be my follower from now on.
The position of deputy 100 households is held by brother Qin Xi. Brother Qin is literate, has read books, has seen the art of war, and has participated in martial arts. He is one of the few knowledgeable people among our bunch of old haters.
Of the two general banners, Brother Zeng and Blacksmith each lead one team, while Brother Wu and brothers Lin Yihuai serve as deputy flags, serving as their deputies.
how? "
Several people whose names were called nodded in unison. Only Qin Xi raised his hand cautiously:
"Ahem, brother. Isn't it appropriate for me to be the deputy of a hundred households?
Brother Zeng is a veteran and is more familiar with things in the military than I am, so maybe Brother Zeng should do it. "
Qin Xi felt that Zeng Lingchuan and the others were Gu Sinian's true confidants, a position he was embarrassed to occupy.
"Definitely~"
Zeng Lingchuan waved his hands repeatedly:
"Brother Qin, I don't know how to read a basketful of characters. I don't know what a character is when my pole falls over. I can't be a deputy to a hundred households.
It's up to you to come. "
"Yes, don't refuse."
Gu Sinian smiled and said:
"Those who are capable will be chosen! If you don't do well in the future, I will still replace you when it's time to replace you."
Qin Xi smiled bitterly and had no choice but to agree.
Gu Sinian laughed and said:
"If other brothers are dissatisfied with them, you can also bring it up. Whoever can beat these few and convince the crowd can also be the general flag!"
In fact, the brothers present had no objections to Gu Sinian's arrangement, because after leaving Fengchuan County, these few were like team captains. Every time they bumped into Yan Jun, they rushed to the front and gradually gained prestige. .
This arrangement for Gu Sinian also had deep meaning. Needless to say, Qin Xi had a quick mind and a belly full of ink. He was also a bandit leader and knew how to lead people, so he was the best helper.
Zeng Lingchuan and Wu Xiang were veterans and had served as government servants, and were serious people. As for the blacksmith and Lin Yihuai, one was a representative of the civilian husband and the other was a representative of the prisoners. All aspects were taken care of, which was conducive to uniting everyone.
Gu Sinian's arrangement is all-inclusive.
"Today is our first day as soldiers in the camp. I have two military orders, and I just want to say them in front of all the brothers."
Gu Sinian's eyes slowly swept across the audience, and his tone gradually became serious:
"First, soldiers are soldiers and people are people. Since we have become frontier troops, we must have rules and obey orders, and we can no longer be as lax as before.
I have to make this clear to my brothers. Anyone who violates military regulations will be killed and punished if they deserve it. No one will be exempted! "
Gu Sinian's deep shout made everyone straighten up subconsciously. They knew this was not a joke, and they truly realized that they had become a member of the border army and no longer a rabble.
"Second thing~"
Gu Sinian raised two fingers and shook them, then said:
"In my place, no one is allowed to deduct a grain of food or a penny of pay from my brothers! No matter how much things are on the head, they must be distributed to everyone!
Anyone who dares to cheat is just one word:
die!
If you find out in private that someone is depriving you of the food and salary you deserve, and you just kill him with a knife, you are not guilty of it from me! "
Gu Sinian's tone was colder than ever.
Because he had been in the military camp for so long, he discovered that the phenomenon of withholding food and salary in the army was really serious. Neither the soldiers nor the soldiers in the army received sufficient food and salary.
If you can't even fill your stomach, who is willing to work for you? Perhaps this is one of the reasons why today's border troops are weakly armed and unmotivated.
So Gu Sinian had to set the rules on the first day!
"Do you understand everything?"
"clear!"
Everyone shouted in response, no doubt.
Do not deduct food and salary, which is a great good thing for them.
"That's it, disband!"
…
In the room, Gu Sinian was stuffing a few coins into his pocket and getting ready to go out.
Qin Xi happened to walk in and saw this scene, and asked softly:
"Brother, are you giving this to Bai Yan?"
"Um."
Gu Sinian responded:
"The General's Mansion is also quite generous. It gives one tael of silver for each Yan soldier's head. It was agreed with Bai Yan at the beginning that they would have a share."
"Ahem."
Qin Xi looked around and said in a low voice:
"Brother, let me tell you something that I shouldn't say. You can't have a close relationship with Bai Yan."
Gu Sinian paused with his palms and raised his head slightly:
"Why?"
Qin Xi explained:
"While we were cleaning the battlefield, I saw him secretly stuffing two pieces of gold into his pocket from the corner of my eye. In the end, he didn't take it out and swallowed it himself.
At that time, the war had just ended and everyone was happy, so I didn’t say anything.
Such people are too greedy for petty gains and have too many thoughts to be worthy of deep friendship. "
"Understood."
Gu Sinian's eyes narrowed, but soon returned to normal:
"Forget it, we should share his reward, as long as we have a clear conscience!"
…
"Ouch, Brother Gu is here, I'm a little disappointed, hehe~"
Bai Yan invited Gu Sinian into the house with a smile on his face. Now Gu Sinian was not wearing ordinary people's clothes, but a serious military uniform.
The gray-black military uniform with two-legged boots has a patch on the chest, which is similar to a breastplate. There are also cloth armors on the waist and abdomen on both sides to protect the body. It looks fresh and capable, with a more heroic air.
Bai Yan personally poured a cup of tea for Gu Sinian:
"Brother Gu has a hundred households now. We have to be polite in the future and salute when we bump into him, hahaha."
"Brother Bai, are you joking? We have always been friends."
Gu Sinian smiled and said:
"You are also the commander-in-chief now, so we are not much different."
After this battle, Bai Yan was also spotted by another Baihu under Zhang Jingyuan, who was recruited into the camp and named the general banner. Although he was not as good as Gu Sinian, he still had some status.
However, the number of people he can use under his command are far less than those of Gu Sinian, who can count as many as sixty or seventy brothers.
"It's not as good as Brother Gu. This is still in Brother Gu's favor."
Bai Yan asked casually:
"Brother Gu, are you here for something today?"
"Haha, it's okay. I sent money to Brother Bai."
Gu Sinian fumbled and took out a few coins from his arms and said:
"We killed dozens of Yan soldiers. This is the silver reward given by the general's palace. We agreed to share it with Brother Bai.
No, I will deliver it myself. "
"Damn it, Brother Gu, look at you. You have to go all the way for such a small amount of money."
Brother Bai waved his hand and said:
"Just tell me and I'll have someone pick it up."
"Hahaha, how embarrassing."
Gu Sinian put the money on the table and raised his butt:
"There is something else going on in the camp, so I won't stay any longer?"
"Leave now and won't chat any longer?"
"No, no, no, so many brothers have become camp soldiers, there are a lot of things to do."
Gu Sinian cupped his fists:
"Farewell!"
"I'll give it to you!"
Bai Yan sent Gu Sinian out very politely. Looking at the slowly walking back, Bai Yan's eyes showed an imperceptible hint of envy:
"Oh, I'm jealous~
Baihu, when can I put on this armor~"
