C1591 one disk of scattered sand (1/2)

One had to work hard to earn money! Battling was not a waste of time, especially in the war at late Qing. When an officer gave the order to charge, he had to prepare the reward money. Any military mission that was worth a lot of money was worth a lot in the eyes of a soldier.

When a noncombatant soldier was sent out on a mission, such as an urgent six hundred miles of military information, the officer in charge of the task had to remember the reward, which meant that the officer in charge could keep the money but the account book had to keep track of the balance at the end of the month.

He had to reward others for patrolling in the snow and ice, he had to reward them for constantly passing on military intelligence, he had to reward them for doing so even if he had to scout for military intelligence while crossing the mountain, he even had to reward his brothers for standing in a line to fight for half a day.

Similar to the bounty keeping process, it was the silver during the war. This had to be paid in cash and could not be written down. If they wanted to advance in the front lines, they would need two hundred people to charge once. A hundred yuan per person! Only by finding the silver on the spot and carrying it would he be able to put his life on the line.

If he wanted his brothers to guard the city for one more day, he would have to give the silver at least.

Looking at the military system of the late Qing, the silver s outside of the military pay had already formed a very strict system of rules, and no general could disobey it, because the army at that time was an army without thought, they did not have any ideals that they could throw away their heads and shed their blood, all the soldiers fighting was just for money and food.

In today's bloody battle, the enemy had already fought outside the general's residence. In this life or death moment, he could not be stingy. When the chief steward ordered his servants to bring over ten big wood box, the second steward cried.

”My big brother, you're finally here! Why is it so late? ”Look at how this person died …” The second steward's hands were tied tightly together, and blood was dripping from it. Then, he looked at the area inside the big door where a large number of people were lying on the ground.

Those who were completely dead were piled up in a corner, and their anger was so great that they fell flat on the ground. Miserable screams could be heard unceasingly. Coupled with the gunshots on the wall, everyone who had not experienced the battlefield had ashen faces.

”Don't ask anymore, you don't even know the Old Master's personality. It's already good enough for him to pay for it!” ”Open the chest …”

As the silver chests were pried open, the ingots and silver coins inside piled up like a small mountain. ”Brothers!” The Great General has treated us pretty well! If there's no general, why would we go to such a place to eat and drink? ”Fight them to the death …”

”I've brought out the silver for everyone. We've successfully defended the general's manor. Those who are still alive will be given eight hundred miles each, while those who are still alive will be given a thousand liang each!” I swear to the heavens that I will not owe anyone anything! ”

When they heard about the huge reward of one thousand gold coins, the guards were all excited. Although the prices of silver had dropped a lot during the time of the late Qing when silver was being poured all over the world into the Great Qing, it was, after all, the purchasing power of metals.

In the Qiqihar City, two to three hundred silver was enough to buy a courtyard house. Six to seven hundred silver was enough to buy a shop.

”Fight!” Fight them to the death... To defend the Residence of General at all costs! ”Kill …”

”Butler!” We do not fear, the most important thing is that we need to contact the Kinzo's collar, without his order, the cavalry outside the city would not have been able to enter, we need reinforcements! ”

The head steward slapped his thigh and said, ”I'll go all out!” I will go ask for them myself, send a few brothers to protect me, and we will ride out of the city on the good horse of the general and request for reinforcements! ”

Why would they need to invite him? In fact, in the alley to the north of the city, there were four janissaries guarding Guo Xing A as they fled towards the north. The cloaked Guo Xing A was afraid that others would recognize him.

The tired soldier gasped for breath and asked, ”Big... My lord! Where are you going? ”I have to have a goal …”

Guo Xing Ah was also exhausted. Today, he drank too much and smoked too many cigarettes. He also smoked too much medicine to cheer himself up. His mind was buzzing.

”Right... That's right! Where should I go? ”
