But soldiers are definitely not stupid. They value immediate interests as much as farmers, and they are very persistent in the battlefield. They are more dangerous than farmers and may die at any time, and they also value real money rewards more than farmers.
If they are not satisfied, they may mutiny at any time.
In the final analysis, the former ruler was too disrespectful to do things, and even the soldiers had to pay for their lives, tears and money, so they had to take extreme measures against the ruler.
When you get cold feet, you will not listen to orders if you don’t give the officer a reward, and you will not fight because of the failure of the war. Anyway, I will see if you give it or not.
You can imagine what kind of ecology the feudal army department was, and you can also imagine that the generals in the western army department were like trapping soldiers.
Soldiers who are at the bottom of the food chain will not dare to fight if they are not tricked into ruin.
This situation can be said that they believe in each other’s glory and have cold interests.
Wu Lin’s control of soldiers is very strict, but the military law is strict, but only the distribution of interests does not dare to play with soldiers.
Give whatever you should, and never make mistakes in economy.
Therefore, other soldiers generally have a certain trust in him, and they never fell off the chain and followed him to climb the ice and lie in the snow in the Jin and Song Wars, which is very rare.
Wu Lin, who was born in the Western Army in the Northern Song Dynasty, knew very well what a precious thing credibility was in the army and how rare it was for him to have credibility.
Now Zhao’s practice is to let Wu Lin fight all his life in exchange for credibility to support the Chengdu court.
The soldiers may not believe in the Chengdu court, but if Wu Lin speaks, the soldiers will give him a face and believe him once.
This will make this batch of special military contacts no different, and it will have a four-to-two effect.
The price is that once the promise cannot be fulfilled, the credibility gained by Wu Lin’s decades of war will be impossible to establish once it collapses.
What if this is not a gamble?
Wu Lin was very ugly.
"Can these payments really be exchanged for iron money?"
Zhao endless smell speech was silent for a moment and then looked at Wu Lin with a heavy face.
"Of course it can be exchanged. How does Wu Xianggong think this plan is not good?"
Wu Lin hurriedly denied it.
"I dare not, but the trust of the soldiers in the general is an important reason why the army can win the battle. Once it loses this trust, it is really hard to say whether the army can still listen to the death."
Zhao endlessly heard the meaning in Wu Lin’s words and sighed long.
"There is no chance to exchange money during the marching period of the army. After the victory of the counter-insurgency, the court will naturally have money to exchange this batch for the court to consider. This matter can’t be delayed any longer."
Wu Lin lamented in his heart and realized that I was afraid I couldn’t walk away this time.
Even so, he can’t refuse Zhao’s endless request.
"I … obey orders"
Choose your own emperor, cry and admit that you choose your own road, and walk on your knees.
But Zhao buxi seems to have no psychological burden.
He also exported
"And this thing is top secret. The fewer people you know, the better. Wu Xianggong had better not tell others what I told you."
"I … obey orders"
Wu Lin nodded approvingly to Zhao’s ceaseless command.
So Wu Lin gave an order to the officers of the frontline troops in the name of Wu Lin himself according to Zhao’s endless request, and only the officers could know it.
The imperial court ordered that due to financial difficulties, we could not get enough iron money to reward the army for the time being, and printed a batch of special gifts for the soldiers in the army in the hope of quenching their thirst.
Officers of all armies need to cooperate with the imperial court to publicize the advantages of communication and suppress the amount of gas resisting communication in the army.
Of course, the rewards for senior and middle-ranking officers are also special.
There are all kinds of iron money, copper money, and some gold, silver, pearls and jade. Besides, the Shu brocade, tea and porcelain that were not easy to sell before were given to the officers to be properly protected and sold one day.
This skill is to unite middle and senior officers to temporarily suppress the resentment of a grassroots officer and soldier so that the war can continue.
If the middle and senior officers keep a high degree of consistency with the court, then they can oppress the army to follow the court.
There is no problem for the time being.
Chapter 1242 pay? No dogs!
Through money and interests, the middle and senior officers were satisfied and felt the preferential treatment of the court, so they were willing to cooperate with the court
But despite their cooperation, it is a risky move.
Because when the grass-roots officers and soldiers who have made great contributions are full of interest and waiting for the reward, they immediately turn ugly when they see the boxes handed in front of them.
"How to pay?"
"Isn’t it money?"
"If it’s not money, can it?"
"How do I hear that there are not many people who are now paying?"
"What is this?"
Everyone is eager to get money and get ready to feel a heavy coin, even if it is iron money with low value, but it is still heavy after all, but this heaviness will not make people feel tired.
The heavier and happier you are, the more powerful you are.
It’s so light that I don’t have a bottom in my heart.
Hand in?
No dogs!
But when they were handed out to middle and senior officers, they spoke.
"This was given to you by the imperial court in consideration of your hard work in marching on the road and carrying too much iron money. How can the imperial court cheat you into not giving you a reward?"
Everyone is not happy in his heart, but he dare not mutter to himself.
"It’s not the first time I’ve been cheated …"
"What did you say?"
A conductor walked up to the soldier with his eyes wide open and slapped him on the head, which hurt him. He immediately crouched over his head with his teeth twisted.
"Little useless talk! The court understands you, don’t you understand? Do you have to take the heavy money? Then if you can’t run, I’ll whip you to death, believe it or not? I don’t know anything good or bad! "
The commander still felt Japanese, so he kicked the soldier and knocked him over.
"The court understanding! The emperor is considerate! You all need to know! Everyone must understand! The imperial court loves your mind. You can’t misunderstand! You can’t be kind as a donkey’s liver and lungs! Bunch of idiots! Do you really want money so badly? If you want it, come and get it from me! I’ll give you a box! You carry it back alone, or I’ll kill you! Who will come? "
He looked at the grass-roots officers and soldiers, but when he saw this group of people one by one, he was as frightened as an ostrich. He wanted to shrink his head into his neck and no one dared to get out.
So far, the commander is satisfied.
"That’s right! It’s like you’ve never seen money before. You’ve won more victories and you’ve got less? Burning, killing and looting. What haven’t you done? I won’t tell you what’s in each bag, and you’re still greedy for this petty gain?
