Chapter 823

For this alone, Shicheng paid a price of 800000 Liang. Such a huge number can't be paid by other forces. This move soon stabilized the situation in the city, and the city soon gave birth to a sense of gratitude. I don't know how many people knelt down in the direction of Yang's house in the city at the moment they got the silver.

All the families of the dead soldiers received pensions, the complaints in the city disappeared, and there was a smile on people's faces. However, this is not all the means of Yang Chendong. Next, he announced that the award ceremony for meritorious officers and men will be held in three days. At that time, the meritorious officers and men in this war will receive official promotion and material rewards.

As soon as the news came out, the people in the city were in an uproar. It was not a defeat. How could there be rewards? It even seems that the scale is not small. What's the matter?

People who couldn't understand began to look forward to the so-called award ceremony three days later.

Spreading gold and silver is Yang Chendong's emergency measure after returning to Shicheng. Money may not buy sincerity, but money can stabilize and stimulate people's hearts. If it is supplemented by heavy profits, it will play an unimaginable role.

For three days, Yang Chendong didn't accompany his wives, that is, the teachers and students of Yang Academy. He just ordered these people to walk and have a look in the city. He devoted all his time to stabilizing the army.

For example, go to patrol the barracks, chat with the soldiers to understand their psychological thoughts and dynamics, go to the hospital to visit the soldiers wounded by the war, go to the people's homes to comfort the families of the dead martyrs, and so on.

These moves made Yang Chendong quickly gain the morale of the army and public opinion. The disturbing factors in the city due to the defeat were almost pressed to zero by him alone.

In the twinkling of an eye, in front of Yang Chendong, stood the Mongolian young man Batu. In this war, he joined the battle as a recruit. In the raging fire, he was not afraid. He also fought bravely with Mobei cavalry, killed two enemies, and rescued Deng Yu, the battalion commander of the first battalion of the strengthening regiment at a critical time. It can be said that he was one of the most outstanding people on the battlefield.

When the story of Batu was reported to Yang Chendong, he felt that there was something to do in this matter. Finally, under his support and approval, he became a typical recruit and stood on the podium of the award ceremony.

Yang Chendong personally hung a second-class battle hero medal on his chest. At the same time, he also gave him a second lieutenant rank of one bar and a substantive reward of 500 Liang silver.

Holding the tray in his hand, Batu's face turned red and his smile was called a sunny day. "Do well, I'll take good care of you." like many leaders in later generations, Yang Chendong patted Batu on the shoulder to show encouragement.

These seven words made Batu excited. Until he walked past Yang Chendong and came to the podium with public address equipment and battery, his face was still red and excited.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Batu. I am a Mongolian native. Since I was a child, I have a happy family. My father, mother and sister accompanied me to grow up. There were flocks of sheep and horses in my family. At that time, the sky was so blue and the water and grass were so fertile. Even if it snowed in winter, the snow was so pure and white... But all this happiness was due to a sudden On that day, four vara robbers came to my house, my father... "

Batu is still telling his strength on the podium. Yang Chendong and others have been seated in the first row of the podium. On his right is Yang er.

About Batu, Yang Chendong had already seen the investigation and knew that he would be Yang er's future brother-in-law, which gave him an opportunity. Now it seems that this person's performance is still good. Seeing Yang er's eyes looking at himself, Yang Chendong whispered, "yes, he performed very well."

"Thank you for your praise and giving him this opportunity." Yang ER was also very excited, and then looked at Batu who was still on the podium with a look of satisfaction. Although he and his character spent two days and two nights teaching those words one by one, I can't deny that what he said is the truth, It is also the most infectious to Mongols with other similar experiences. If you can achieve this effect, then everything is enough.

Not only Yang Er, but also two Mongolian soldiers who made meritorious contributions in the war spoke. Their experiences are different, but the goal of the topic is to point to one place, that is, the benefits of joining mercenaries, how life has changed and how life has been tempered after joining the army. The people in the city who attended the award ceremony were either excited, tears in their eyes, or

It was a successful conference. After all the processes were completed, the last item of the conference was announced by Hu mang. The moment before the end of the conference, he announced the recruitment of new soldiers in the city, which immediately won the strong support of the people attending the conference.

Yang Chendong didn't advocate conscription before because the resources in the city are limited. It takes a lot of money to raise the army, not to mention the high treatment of mercenaries. However, the losses in this battle were too great, and a lot of places were vacated. Therefore, it was necessary to recruit soldiers. At the same time, it was also a way to bind everyone's interests. Think about it. When every family had mercenary recruits, wouldn't everyone's safety be tied together? It was really a matter of prosperity and loss.

Ten thousand and two hundred thousand taels of silver were thrown out, and dozens of soldiers were promoted to the rank of cadre platoon leader and Deputy platoon leader. This is the best example. Under the temptation of money and glory, the recruit registration office in the city was immediately overcrowded.

In the past four months since Yang Chendong's absence, the total population of Shicheng has increased from 50000 to nearly 70000. There are 15000 young men alone. It is still easy to recruit 6000 new soldiers. As for the lack of other sources of troops, we must make the idea of the logistics regiment.

The logistics regiment not only manages logistics, but also has two very special units, one is the construction team and the other is the capture barracks. Their combined population has exceeded 10000.

They are all made up of captured soldiers captured in the war. The former is the reserve forces that have surrendered to mercenaries, while the latter has not completed transformation and has not completely surrendered. "Select 6000 people from the construction team and reorganize them into the army. Select 6000 people from the captured barracks to join the construction team and continue their transformation. Tell them that as long as you perform well, you may become a mercenary from the captured army. If you don't perform well, you'll do well all your life."

Yang Chendong spoke. As the nominal head of the logistics regiment, he took over the work and began to adjust.

Just a few days after returning to Shicheng, the military losses of the previous World War I have been supplemented. Perhaps their combat power is not as strong as that of the previous mercenary veterans, but at least the number has reached the same level as before, and even the morale is not bad. "Seize the time to train and let the new veterans run in as soon as possible to meet the requirements of going to the battlefield." after throwing this sentence to Hu Mang and others, Yang Chendong left the military camp outside the city and returned to Yang's house in the city.

In Yang's house, Feng Liang, director of Shicheng Security Bureau, and tie Hu, captain of Langya special team, have been waiting here for a long time. As soon as Yang Chendong came back, the two people with stiff waist changed their whole body momentum, converged their edge and lowered their noble heads.

"You're here. Tell me. How's the investigation?" Yang Chendong nodded to the two, then entered the side hall accompanied by Yang Si, a servant, and sat down in front of the chair.

Yang Si's body foundation was very. It seemed that he was badly hurt that day, but he bled too much. Once the blood transfusion wakes up, it will soon become lively. Although it is not enough to say that the injury is completely good, there will be no problem as long as it is not fighting with the enemy for too long.

After this, Yang Si worshipped Yang Chendong more. He already knew that at the most critical time, it was the young master who lost his blood to himself, which was even more touching.

The ancients were no less educated and knew less about some things than the modern people. In the eyes of many of them, blood is a life-saving thing. How can you give it to others casually? But the young master did so. How noble he is and how humble he is. Is it worth doing so?

I still remember when Yang Sitong woke up, he felt very painful and wanted to die. He thought it was his fault that the young master lost blood to himself. Later, the doctor yuan Heping told him a lot of truth and said that human blood can be produced by himself. As long as it is not excessive bleeding, it can be recovered slowly, which he slowly accepted. But after that, he became more loyal to Yang Chendong.
