"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 638
"Brothers, line up, everyone, don't squeeze, everyone has a bounty!"
Chen Ziang kept his promise, and distributed generous bounties to the water bandits who wiped out a navy fleet of the Southern Army.
Now the water bandits have completely wiped out a navy fleet of the Southern Army, and took advantage of the trend to clean up the Southern Army patrol clippers swimming in the waters of the Dongjiang River.
Chen Zi'ang and the others opened up the connection with Jiangnan Province, and a steady stream of money and food will arrive in Jiangbei Province.
Therefore, Chen Ziang was not stingy, and the bounties prepared in advance were carried to the village of Youlonggang in full boxes, and began to be distributed to the water bandits who had survived the bloody battle.
Seeing the boxes of golden and shining silver coins, the water bandits looked like hungry wolves, their eyes glowing, and they wished they could take them all for themselves.
However, in the face of the soldiers of the Qinghe Army who were standing guard all around, the water bandits naturally knew the rules.
If they robbed the money now, not only would it cause attacks from other water bandits, but they would also be besieged by the Qinghe Army, which would outweigh the gains.
So they could only suppress their impulses, and under the yelling of the officers of the Qinghe Army, they lined up honestly and received their own share according to their respective gains.
Every water bandit who got his name came forward to receive the bounty honestly, no matter how much or how little, but everyone was smiling.
"General Chen is happy!"
"With so many bounties, I can have a good drink again."
"The Qinghe Army really kept its promise!"
"There are bounties for the dead brothers. General Chen is really good."
Chen Ziang just fulfilled his promise, but the water bandits have greatly increased their affection for Chen Ziang.
Seeing those water bandits who praised Chen Ziang, Hong Bo, the commander of the 19th Banner of the Qinghe Army Sailor who was in charge of commanding the distribution of rewards, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Because Chen Ziang deliberately used a small trick when distributing the bounty.
? If it was the past, even if the water bandits won the battle, the trophies captured would be taken by the leaders at all levels, and the ordinary water bandits below could only count on their fingers.
But this time, Chen Ziang distributed the bounty according to each person's harvest, and directly distributed the bounty to every ordinary water bandit.
His seemingly inadvertent behavior prevented the bounty from being deducted layer by layer through the hands of the water bandit leader.
Because every water bandit received a full bounty, their favorability towards Chen Ziang and the Qinghe Army naturally increased, and they could really experience the kindness of the Qinghe Army.
The water bandit leaders have always been behind the scenes, and they also acted as commanders during the battle, so they didn't gain much.
Now seeing that the bounties of ordinary water bandits under their hands are higher than theirs, they are naturally jealous and jealous in their hearts.
But Chen Ziang had agreed from the beginning that the bounty would be given according to the harvest, so they could only temporarily acquiesce to such a result.
When all the bounties were paid out, before the ordinary water bandits warmed up the bounties, the water bandit leaders began to search.
"You, get up and take out the bounty."
Seeing the ordinary water bandits with bulging pockets, a water bandit leader with a swollen face walked up to him, and began to rely on his identity to swallow some of his subordinates' bounties.
After all, when fighting the Southern Army, the water bandit leader only received a little consolation bounty because he didn't go to battle.
Seeing the water bandits with bulging pockets, they, who are always greedy, will naturally not let go of this opportunity to make money.
"The master, this is what I won"
Seeing that the leader of his family wanted to collect his bounty, this ordinary water bandit was also a little reluctant.
"You bitch, don't you want to give it to me, I'll kill you bitch!"
Seeing that the water bandit was hesitating, the leader of the water bandit got angry immediately, and kicked the water bandit hard, kicking the water bandit upside down.
The leader of the water bandit punched and kicked the water bandit for a while, until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and then he stopped panting.
"Remember, if you dare to be disobedient, this is the end!"
Seeing the water bandits around standing up and looking at this side, the leader of the water bandits bent down and pulled all the bounties of the water bandit over, and immediately turned to the surrounding water banditsThe water bandits reminded.
"Don't be dumbfounded. Without Lao Tzu taking you out, you will get nothing. Hurry up and take half of the reward to honor Lao Tzu!"
The water bandit leader weighed the money in his hand, and began to ask the surrounding water bandits to hand over the bounty.
Although the water bandits were extremely reluctant, but the leader of the water bandits had accumulated power for a long time, they did not dare to resist, and handed over a lot of money one after another.
Seeing that half of the bounty they earned on the battlefield was handed over, although these water bandits didn't dare to show anything on their faces, they kept calling their leader a vampire in their hearts.
The leaders of the water bandits are all virtuous, and after the Qinghe army distributed the bounty, they immediately took it from the hands of the water bandits to their own hands.
The better water bandit leaders only confiscated half of it, but some greedy water bandits directly confiscated 80%.
In the past, the bosses did the same thing. That's because the trophies were collected together and then distributed to ordinary water bandits. Ordinary water bandits didn't feel so strongly.
After all, the bosses gave them the distribution, and they felt very happy, at least they had it.
But now the water bandit leader has collected the bounty from them, which is actually the same as before, but with a different method, their feelings suddenly become different.
Because it felt like the bosses had snatched the money from them, and for the first time, their favorability and loyalty to these bosses began to decline.
For the water bandit leaders, this is no different from the past, they did not realize that things had changed.
The reason why Chen Ziang deliberately used such a small trick to drive a wedge between the water bandits and the leaders was also for future consideration.
After all, they now need to rely on these water bandits to fight because of their interests.
But once they defeated the Southern Army and Navy Fleet, they would have no common enemy and no connection of interests.
On the contrary, when the Qinghe Army controls the Dongjiang River Basin, these water bandits operating in the Dongjiang River Basin will become an obstacle for them.
A friend now does not mean that he will be a friend in the future. In the face of interests, he will also become an enemy.
Therefore, Chen Ziang is also planning for a rainy day, hoping to use some small means now to drive a wedge between the water bandits, which will be effective in the future.
In addition to provoking the relationship between ordinary water bandits and their leaders, Chen Ziang also had conflicts among various water bandits. Chen Ziang and the others inadvertently deepened their conflicts.
For those weak ordinary water bandits, Chen Ziang and the others secretly contacted and tried to win them over, hoping to insert some of their own people among the water bandits. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
