Zhou Heng came from the palace to the outside of Chang'an City with the imperial decree in his hand.
Emperor Guangxiao also brought the ministers of civil and military affairs to the outside of Chang'an City, wanting to see how Zhou Heng would order his generals.
"gather!"
Following a shout, drums sounded, and the soldiers of the three armies assembled. The 100,000-strong army was mighty and imposing, giving people a sense of shock.
"I heard that the coach this time is King Zhou Heng of Qi!"
"What is Qi Wang Zhou Heng, that is the abolished prince Zhou Heng!"
"No way, if the crown prince is abolished, wouldn't we be going to die?"
"Zhou Heng is ignorant, what good will we gain by following him?"
"I'm telling you one thing, this time Zhou Heng alone bears all of our expenses, the expenses of the 100,000 army, this time we are miserable."
The crowd gathered, and many people began to discuss below.
Everyone is not confident in themselves, but has no confidence in Zhou Heng. Everyone is very clear about Zhou Heng's reputation.
Emperor Guangxiao brought all the civil and military officials to the tower.
Zhou Heng took Li Xingba to the general stage.
"Hello, all generals!" Zhou Heng greeted everyone with a smile, and then held up the imperial decree, "Thanks to the emperor for not giving up, entrusting me with a heavy responsibility, appointing me as the marshal of the three armed forces to go north to defend against the enemy. I hope to advance and retreat with you, and live and die together!"
Zhou Heng gave a loud shout.
There was complete silence below, not because everyone didn't want to respond to Zhou Heng's words, but because they really couldn't raise their confidence.
Facing everyone's indifference, Zhou Heng was not angry.
"I know that everyone has prejudice against me, but it doesn't matter. I can't let everyone change their opinion of me, and I don't expect this. I just hope that in the days to come, we can be of one heart and one mind. I will make suggestions and you will go to battle To kill the enemy, it is enough to defeat the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty."
Zhou Heng's request is also very simple. Zhou Heng did not ask everyone to change their views on themselves. Zhou Heng's request is to cooperate with each other to resist the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
"Some people may think that I am conceited. How can an ignorant prince lead an army to fight? You can have such doubts, but I hope that you can give me a chance when you have such doubts. How will you know whether you believe it or not if you don't try it? ?¡±
Zhou Heng looked at the crowd and continued.
Everyone is still silent.
"Many people think that I am not worthy, but let me tell you, I, Zhou Heng, have the confidence to lead you to victory. If anyone among you thinks that he can take on this important task and stand up, I will let him do it right now. Whoever thinks that he can conquer and win all battles, please stand up!"
Zhou Heng looked at the people below, you don't have to be convinced, but the premise is that you have the ability to not be convinced, and you can believe that you are doing better than me, then you stand up and I will let you.
No one stood up.
"nobody?"
Zhou Heng looked at everyone present, "Very well, since no one has stepped forward, it is considered acquiescing and acknowledging me as the marshal. Next, I will say that it is right. If the northward defense against the enemy fails, the king will bear it all and will not affect everyone." Ladies and gentlemen, the premise of this king's promise is that you must obey my orders, there is no joke in the army, and anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy! No one will work."
Zhou Heng told everyone his request.
Everyone didn't feel much about Zhou Heng's previous words, but this last sentence shocked everyone.
Anyone who violates the order will be killed without mercy.
This sentence can be regarded as reaching the hearts of everyone.
"You all live and die together, share weal and woe, and stand together in blood!" Zhou Heng shouted loudly.
This time there was finally a response.
"Together in life and death, in adversity, in blood!"
"Together in life and death, in adversity, in blood!"
Everyone shouted.
Zhou Heng raised his hand to silence everyone.
"Now let me talk about a few rules. The first one is not allowed to drink alcohol in the army, and the drinker is punished with thirty sticks. No amnesty! The third and most important point is that there is no military pay for going north to defend against the enemy."
Zhou Heng said.
When Zhou Heng said that there was no military salary, there was an uproar from below. They joined the army for military salary besides making contributions.
Zhou Heng even said that there is no military pay.
"My lord, what does this mean?"
Bao Ying frowned, a little confused about what Zhou Heng meant.The words in the face are good, why did you come to such a sentence at the end.
Without military pay, how can you go to battle to kill the enemy, who would work hard for the soldiers of the three armies.
"The prince should have other plans!"
Yu Shilin said.
According to Zhou Heng's cleverness, it is impossible not to think of the consequences of not having military pay. The army will inevitably slack off, and even deserters will appear.
"Marshal, brothers have no motivation without military pay!"
"That's right, why would we go to battle to kill the enemy without military pay!"
Many people began to question Zhou Heng.
"Sure enough, there is no military pay as we thought."
Some people were anxious and questioned, but some people seemed to understand that Zhou Heng alone borne the expenses of the 100,000 troops, and it was inevitable that the military salary would fall short.
Seeing everyone's anxious and puzzled look, Zhou Heng smiled.
"Don't be impatient, everyone. I haven't finished my sentence. There is no military salary but silver rewards. Killing the enemy and making meritorious service is calculated on the basis of the head. An ordinary soldier of the enemy army in the Northern Wei Dynasty has ten taels of silver per head, and those with military ranks will be rewarded with silver from one hundred taels. It can range from one thousand taels!"
Zhou Heng made a promise to everyone.
After listening to Zhou Heng's words, everyone immediately became motivated to fight. This is much faster than the military salary. How much military salary do they have a month?
Ten taels of silver?
According to what Zhou Heng said, killing ten people is worth a hundred taels of silver. If you can kill a general, it will be hundreds of taels of silver.
"What do you guys think?"
Zhou Heng asked everyone.
"good!"
"good!"
"good!"
Everyone's fighting spirit was instantly ignited.
"To prove to everyone that what I said is true!" Zhou Heng beckoned and asked Li Xingba to open the wooden box he brought, "There are 10 million taels of silver in here, and another 10,000 taels of silver are being raised. Two silvers depends on how much you can get, more people get more money, and fewer people get less money. No one complains about earning money based on ability."
Zhou Heng said.
If all the 20 million taels of silver are really sent out, it will be rainwater dripping into the sea, and the ripples will not be able to move, which is completely useless.
So Zhou Heng came up with such a way.
Incentive mechanism, those who are capable work harder, if you fight the enemy bravely, then you will earn more money, if you are greedy for life and fear death, then you will earn less money.
"This is a good way!" Emperor Guangxiao said, he did not expect Zhou Heng to come up with such a way to motivate the soldiers.
"Yeah, unexpected."
Yu Shilin said that Zhou Heng's approach was unexpected.
Everyone was shocked by Zhou Heng's strange move, but Zhou Zheng was full of sadness. He didn't expect Zhou Heng to go so smoothly, and Zhou Heng did not know where to raise 10 million taels, no, it should be 20 million taels.
