Lu Si could not pursue the things that these surrendered generals and soldiers did in the past, because this was an era when the resignation of children in the late Ming Dynasty, an era when soldiers were inferior to bandits, and an era when human nature was in decline.

Some heart-wrenching words may be the temporary touch of the general and the guilt of reflecting on the past, but it is not enough to let them be reborn and put down their butcher knife and become good people.

The habits that have been formed over a long time cannot be changed immediately just by a person's words.

If you want these surrendered generals to be obedient "good people" and to be a beast that no longer harms the people but to fight against foreign races for the country, of course, you cannot give them a big pie with nothing, and you must have enough benefits.

Twenty boxes of gold weigh about 17,000 taels, with an average of more than 800 taels per box, all of which are 10 taels per piece. Under this batch of gold ingots, the words "Tengzhou has received 10,500 taels of autumn grain in Dengzhou in the third year of Chongzhen" are the words "Ten and five cents of red gold are heavy."

According to the confession of Liu Zeqing's military officer Park Guochang, who was responsible for money and food, most of the gold in Liu Zeqing's army was looted from various prefectures and counties in Shandong.

This batch of gold ingots fortified harvest of autumn grain from Dengzhou was swallowed by Liu Zeqing in the sixth year of Chongzhen when he was the left governor of Dengzhou. It was also the only gold cast in Liu Zeqing's family. Most of the rest were messy jewelry, and the first thing that many boxes smelled was the stench.

According to Liu Zeqing's salary at that time, if the more than 27,000 surrendered soldiers were calculated, if they were paid for half a year, Lu Si would have to take more than 400,000 taels out, which would be spread on everyone's heads for nearly fifteen taels.

Lu Si is acceptable because his Huai Army soldiers pay nearly 40 taels of silver a year.

Give the officer 17,000 taels of gold, give the soldiers more than 400,000 taels of silver, and Lu Si's food, drink, defecation and slaughter. After the number of times of commendation was achieved, he would enjoy the treatment of the Huai Army's main soldiers. In this way, he would have to kill and set fire and act recklessly, and he would be helpless. I want to try whether the sword of Huaiyin Hou was dull.

"Whoever will get it first?"

Lu Si looked around and looked at the surrendered generals before halfway. The Qiang General Kangfu, who had just stood up and was about to run out, had rushed out of the table.

It was definitely a rush, because the speed was too fast, and the table in front was called to hit him in a crooked way.

"Whatever the Marquis said, I will do whatever I am Kang! The Marquis pointed to the east, and I will go east; the Marquis pointed to the west, and I will go west! The Marquis said that it would not harm the people, and if I am Kang beat another person from today, I will ask me to give birth to a son without an asshole!"

Kangfu, who was flushed with excitement, grabbed four gold ingots in his hand. He thought it was inappropriate, so he put down one ingot inside, then put down another ingot, and then thought about it, not knowing whether to put it or not.

This made Zhan Shixun, who was robbed by Kang Fu, glad that he had no impulse, because he didn't know how much he should take. If he took too much, the Marquis would think he was unwilling to be honest, and if he took too little, his family would lose money.

Sun Wujin looked at Kang Fu a little disliked, and felt a sense of crisis, but at this time he had to come forward to remind him, so he coughed lightly and shouted: "Master Qian is four ingots per person, and the above is doubled!"

"Oh, oh!"

Kang Fu quickly grabbed the two gold ingots he had put down in his hand and bowed deeply to Lu Si happily: "Thank you for your reward!"

If you have money, you are a fool. All the surrendered generals have moved, but they are very rules. Mr. Qian will take the lead first, and then the garrison, the chief minister, the deputy general, and the general.

Zhang Guozhu, Bai Yongfu and Yu Shaoxun each received 640 taels of gold. Liu Zeqing had only five general officers, and the other two Ma Huabao and Wang Zuntan had been killed.

Zhan Shixun, Zhang Shiyi and others were deputy generals, and the first surrender of Ma Sanbao was just the garrison of Pizhou.

The gold must be enough, and I have calculated it in advance. If Liu Zeqing's subordinates were not too chaotic and too many officers, he might have saved half of it.

After the surrendered generals who had divided gold and sat back on the table, they all smiled, because this time they were really relieved, and the Marquis of Huaiyin was indeed sincere to them.

Many people compared Liu Zeqing and Lu Si together, and concluded that Liu Zeqing, a wealth-keeping slave, was far less sincere and generous than Lu Si.

Although Lu Si did not allow these people to rob and harm the people, he provided sufficient money and food supply and formed a complete system to ensure that both officers and soldiers benefited from the Huai Army system, and that this interest was guaranteed, and in the long run, it could even be passed on to the descendants in the future.

On the other hand, Liu Zeqing did not directly send money and grain to his subordinates, but instead instigated his subordinates to rob him. The robbery must have more property, but in addition to maintaining the survival of each department, Liu Zeqing also had to separate most of the robberies, and generals at all levels also had to take away different numbers.

When encountering a crisis, Liu Zeqing often only takes his direct descendants to escape, regardless of whether he is not his direct descendants. In this way, who is more worthy of his life. For those generals who are not Liu Zeqing's direct descendants, they can even think of it. At least, they don't have to worry about being used as cannon fodder and being abandoned.

"You should know where the money we give you comes from, but it's not that we don't give you more. If you don't do it, you don't know that oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are expensive. It's hard for a good wife to cook without rice. My Huai Army now has 100,000 people and you have to use money everywhere, which is also difficult. You have to understand us.

In addition, what we just told you is not to lie to you, but to be responsible to you and your subordinates. I think we don’t need to explain the extra words.”

Lu Si is still like an old farmer and says something straight, not hiding it.

All the surrendered generals understood this. They had all the money given to them. What would the Marquis use to train troops and raise soldiers? Moreover, the Huai Army soldiers under the Marquis cannot take less than they did. They all nodded deeply.

"I took our money and I am ours. Let's formally recruit you. What kind of officials do you have in my Huai Army and how many soldiers you have led? Let's take advantage of this moment to tell us together, so as not to make random guesses."

Lu Si waved his hand, and Chen Buping hurriedly took the reorganization plan that had been drawn up according to Lu Si's intention and came forward to read it.

The first one is to draw 5,000 people from the surrendered army to replenish the elite iron armored guards and flag teams of the Huai Army.

The method of drawing is to use the officers present as the benchmark. The total number of 40 people was doubled, and the total number of 640 people was required. It is required that they are strong soldiers.

After hearing this, most of the joy on the faces of the surrendered generals disappeared on the spot, because if they were drawn by strong soldiers, it would mean that most of their direct troops would be drawn away. Isn’t this just a disguised annexation of their troops?

"Why, don't you?"
