Chapter 146, fight for oneself
"Company Commander Shang, this is the military pay for your third company." Deputy Battalion Commander Li Rengui brought a box with two soldiers.
Shangdi opened the box and found that the money was much less, so he asked directly: "Deputy Battalion Commander Li, isn't the amount right?"
The Northwest King is in the army. Ordinary soldiers pay two taels of silver per month, that is, two silver coins, the deputy squad leader has three taels per month, the squad leader has four taels per month, the deputy platoon leader has six taels per month, the platoon leader has eight taels per month, the deputy company commander has twelve taels per month, and the company commander has six taels per month...
The third company has a company commander, a deputy company commander, three platoon commanders, three deputy platoon commanders, nine squad leaders, nine deputy squad leaders, and eighty-one ordinary soldiers. The monthly military pay should be 337 taels, which is 337 silver coins.
There are only eighteen silver coins in the box, and each silver coins are only ten, and the military salary is about half the difference.
"In wartime, the military pay was paid in full, and when I was idle, it was always like this." Li Rengui evaded.
Shangdi's heart was filled with anger. After a few seconds of contemplation, he did not attack on the spot.
It would be good to have half of the military pay paid by the Northwest King under layers of exploitation.
The military pay paid by the King of Zhenxi was only 30% left in the hands of ordinary soldiers.
Watching Li Rengui leave, Shangdi summoned all the officers and soldiers of the Third Company and began to pay military salaries.
He was not short of money and did not deduct the military pay of the officers and soldiers under his command. An ordinary soldier had a silver coin, a silver coin of the deputy squad leader plus five hundred copper coins, and two silver coins of the squad leader... The remaining dozen silver coins were reserved for rewards.
In the Great Zhou Empire, one gold coin is equal to ten silver coins, and one silver coin is equal to one thousand copper coins.
The weight of a gold coin is equivalent to that of a silver coin, and the net weight of a single one or two taels is about one or two.
Rows of commanders Wang Daniu couldn't help but ask, "Company Commander, why is there only half of them?"
"Only one hundred and eighty silver coins were issued," explained Xia Hu, deputy company commander of the Third Company.
"The deputy battalion commander said that the military pay was paid in full during wartime, and only half of it was paid in idle time," Shangdi added.
The military pay was about half the amount, and the daily food was much worse than that during the war.
During the war, I could still eat a meal of meat every day. Now that the war has stopped, I have porridge and steamed buns for three meals a day.
The peaceful days did not last long. More than a month later, Emperor Li Zhengwen of the Great Zhou Dynasty began to attack Dongzhou.
The strength of Emperor Li Zhengwen of the Great Zhou Dynasty increased sharply by annexing the army of Li Daoliang, the army of King Li Zhengmao of Zhenbei.
As the emperor of the Great Zhou Empire, Li Zhengwen sent troops into Dongzhou with confidence under the banner of suppressing bandits.
The Man Kingdom, which had just occupied the Northern and Northeast Prefectures, was digesting the population and territory of the two states and did not take the opportunity to launch an attack.
The King of Southeast and King of Zhennan were named Wuming and did not send troops to reinforce King of Zhendong.
Everyone knows the principle that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Who doesn’t want to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight and then be a fisherman?
......
The 3rd Company of the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Company, 2nd Brigade, 3rd Regiment, 3rd Regiment, 3rd Regiment, under the command of the King of Northwest Li Zhengxin.
Every day, there are porridge, steamed buns and pickles, and Shangdi is tired of it.
He relies on the mountains to eat and eat water. In order to have meat, he took people out to hunt and catch fish.
Since then, the third company has lived a life of big fish and meat, and the soldiers with pale faces and thin skin have gradually become stronger.
The battalion commander did not allow him to retire, nor did he want to be a deserter, so Shangdi had to stay in the Third Company.
He had fought with the barbarian army before and killed countless enemies, and was highly valued by Zhou Wu, the leader of the Third Regiment.
Without special circumstances, the regiment commander and battalion commander would not have let him retire. Shangdi knew this very well.
"I don't want to train a group of elite soldiers anymore. How to make a decision in the future depends on the situation!"
Referring to the training outline of the special forces, Shangdi constantly trained the officers and soldiers of the third company.
Emergency gathering, sneak attacks in the dark, off-road with heavy loads, bare hands fighting...
The army of Emperor Li Zhengwen of Great Zhou and the army of King Li Zhengjie of Zhendong, from friction to war...
Shangdi didn't have the heart to pay attention to the general trend of the world, and he trained the officers and soldiers of the third company all day long.
Half a year later, King Li Zhengjie of Zhendong surrendered to Emperor Li Zhengwen of the Great Zhou Dynasty with the remaining troops.
After annexing Dongzhou, Li Zhengwen did not capture Nanzhou and Southeast Prefecture.
Li Zhenggang, the King of Zhennan in Nanzhou, has formed an alliance with Li Zhengchuan, the King of Southeast Prefecture, and his overall strength is no worse than Li Zhengwen.
Seeing this situation, under pressure from home and abroad, King Li Zhenghua of Zhenxi formed an alliance with King Li Zhengfu of Southwest.
Since then, the eastern region of the Great Zhou Empire has been divided into five forces.
Beizhou and Northeast Prefectures fell into the hands of the Barbarians, Dongzhou and Zhongzhou became Li Zhengwen's territory, Nanzhou and Southeast Prefectures were the same camp, Xizhou and Southwest Prefectures were the same camp, and Northwest Prefectures were the same camp.
The Northwest Prefecture is located in the northwest of the Great Zhou Empire, and the north is the territory of the Barbarian Kingdom.
Although the Northwest King is the weakest, Li Zhengwen, Li Zhengfu and Li Zhenghua have no plans to attack Northwest Prefecture.
The Northwest King guards the Northwest Prefecture, which can resist the barbarian army.
Once the Northwest Prefecture is annexed, Li Zhengfu and Li Zhenghua's allies will face the threat of barbarian countries, and Li Zhengwen's Great Zhou army will also face greater risks. It is impossible to attack Northwest Prefecture without losses.
......
In 2158, the army of the Barbarian Kingdom found an excuse to invade the Northwest Prefecture again.
The sound of guns and cannons broke out.
The army of the barbarian country attacked the northwest prefecture from two directions.
Shangdi asked Deputy Company Commander Xia Hu to command the officers and soldiers of the third company, but he shot and killed the enemy with his own will.
From morning to dusk, the battle stopped temporarily.
Shangdi, who earned more than 500 soul power, asked each platoon to report the casualties.
One day of the battle, thirteen were killed in three consecutive battles, five seriously injured and twelve slightly injured.
There were 115 people in the entire company, and only 97 people could fight were left.
Looking at the cold corpses, Shangdi decided to improve his subordinates' strength.
Each person had a loyal air bullet attached to each person, took out a portion of enhancement potion, and diluted it with clean water.
Each person drinks a bowl of diluted enhancement potion, and his physical fitness begins to slowly improve.
"The efficacy of the medicine is one percent. If there is no exception, the strength of each person can be increased by about two hundred kilograms."
To dispel the distracting thoughts in his mind, Shangdi took a few subordinates to collect ammunition and food.
"The ammunition is only given so much, and the food is less, and the military pay is not sufficient."
Shangdi, who was angry, waited for more than ten days, and then took advantage of the night to attack with his men.
After drinking the diluted enhancement potion, the physical fitness of the officers and soldiers of the third company has been more than doubled, and their combat effectiveness is different now.
Kill a battalion of the barbarian army and quickly plundered it. Shangdi and his men went straight to Beizhou, and he decided to do it alone.
In the exclusive space, there is plenty of food and a mountain of gold and silver. He has money, food and time to bomb, so he will not worry about not being able to recruit people.
"Company Commander, are we?" asked Deputy Company Commander Xia Hu.
"We are not good at military pay and not enough ammunition... it's better to do it ourselves!" Shangdi said.
"It should have been like this long ago!" Wang Daniu, the rows of leaders, smiled.
"See the company commander to the death." Xia Hu shouted.
"See the company commander to the death." One by one, the officers and soldiers shouted loudly.
Leaving northwest state, the group sneaked into west state.
A few days later, they arrived near Liwohu Mountain.
"Company Commander, do you want to capture Wohu Mountain?" Xia Hu asked.
"No," Shandi nodded.
"Company Commander, Wohu Mountain is the territory of Qihu Village. It is rumored that there are more than 1,300 people in Qihu Village. Wohu Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. With our strength, even if we can conquer Qihu Village, there will be heavy casualties." Xia Hu reminded.
"Have I ever said to fight against Qihu Village?" Shangdi asked.
"That's not." Xia Hu shook his head.
"A group of bandits who occupy the mountain and become kings have no marksmanship and no weapons. With your current marksmanship, there is no problem shooting enemies of 400 meters, right?" Shangdi said with a smile.
