Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

Naturally, Fengtou Pass does not have much money reserves. After all, this is the front line, and the food reserves are calculated based on half a month for the entire army. After adding five more days, there will be no more.

As for money, according to the current system of the Han army, the army does not have much reserves. Its material consumption relies on logistics, and the only money is only for temporary support.

Just like why the soldiers and staff of the Han army were given grain and refined salt as salaries, it was because these things held their value better than money.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that gold is gold in prosperous times and troubled times. Many people even think that gold is the hard currency in troubled times, but everyone does not know that this is a wrong view.

Whether in troubled times or prosperous times, the real hard currency is actually food.

Especially for the Han Army, Daqian, and Taiping Dao Kingdom, the real hard currencies from low to high are copper coins, silver, weapons, salt, gold, armor, and grain.

Therefore, when Fengtouguan signed the so-called employment contract with the Glory Mercenary Group, they did not give money directly. Instead, after signing the contract, they dispatched personnel and confirmed that there were so many people in the Glory Mercenary Group before giving out the first batch of funds, seventy-seven gold coins. Four silver coins.

This is already considered the existing capital reserve of Fengtouguan, and subsequent funds will need to be allocated from other places.

However, as long as the glorious mercenary group can complete the combat mission, as long as the Han army in northern Xinjiang is still there, it will not be owed money. Both the battalion commander and Jijiu are confident about this. At the same time, Jijiu has already Report the matter, and the superiors will send specialized personnel to communicate and supervise the Glory Mercenary Group.

As for whether the seventy-seven gold coins and four silver coins will be wasted, it is not a big problem for the Han army. What if they give it a try?

On the same day, Jijiu's report to his superiors was quickly sent out, and the temporary liaison staff also took off their military uniforms and followed Mike, the leader of the mercenary regiment, to their station.

"What are our losses?"

After everything was arranged, the battalion commander took the lead in paying attention to the situation of the army.

"Battal Commander, Rakshasa is very strange today. They attacked twice but did not cause any death on our side. On the contrary, they suffered heavy losses. At least hundreds of people were injured, and two siege ladders were damaged!"

"???"

After listening to the deputy battalion commander's report, the battalion commander and Jijiu couldn't help but have a series of question marks on their heads, and then turned their attention to the generals.

In response to this, the leading general gave a wry smile, "We didn't believe it at first, but we verified it immediately and found that it was true. Now we suspect that Rakshasa Man may have some conspiracy!"

"Conspiracy? So have you analyzed what the conspiracy is?"

The generals shook their heads, "I don't know, this Rakshasa man's head is different from ours. Besides, our external intelligence has been cut off now. Even if there is a conspiracy, we can only carry it out."

At the same time, Captain Mike returned to the camp of his mercenary group with a Han army liaison officer.

"Captain, you are back. Do you have any orders?"

"Captain, I don't want to eat grass anymore, I want to eat, even if it means eating dead people!"

"Captain, we are running out of money. We won't even be able to afford food in the next two days!!"

"Captain, a brother secretly sold weapons to those profiteers in exchange for a good meal. If we delay for a few days, we won't even have weapons!!"

"Captain, three more mercenary groups came to contact us today!"

Captain Mike has entered the station, and a group of mercenaries gathered around him, expressing their sorrow.

Of course, the Han army liaison officer could not understand these words, but he was still shocked by the glorious mercenary group.

This shock is not that the Glory Mercenary Group is so elite, but that the location is not good. They are not stationed near water sources, and they have no defensive measures. Everyone wears a variety of clothes, from linen to...well...rags linen; they had no armor, and their weapons were only swords and bows, and some even held a carbonized stick in their hands.

As for those who are better dressed and have better weapons, I'm afraid they are only the first few people who surrounded Captain Mike. Although these people have good looks, they can be regarded as masters because they have internal strength.

The Han army liaison officer was shocked. Is this horse an army?

If he didn't have weapons in his hands, this horse would be a disaster victim! ! !

Is it really reliable to use these people to fight a war? ?

Just when the Han army liaison officer was shocked, several people surrounding Captain Mike naturally noticed Mike's happy face and the Han army liaison officer who looked similar to Da Gan.

"Captain, have you found the order?"

"Captain, is this a Dagan man, a servant of some nobleman, or someone from there?"

As he said this, the man pointed to Fengtou Pass not far away!

"Okay, okay, this is not the place to talk, let's go inside and talk!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Several other people also reacted and quickly surrounded Captain Mike and the Han army liaison officer and walked inside.

As for Commander Mike, his face was red and he explained to the Han army liaison officer in embarrassment:

"Dear envoy, we... that... are a little poor, but please don't worry about it, we are all brave warriors!!!"

"We have prepared a pretty sumptuous dinner, let's..."

Captain Mike felt embarrassed when he said that. Although he didn't know what was in the several cooking pots that the Han army liaison officer saw along the way, he was sure that most of them were grass.

As for why he knew?

After all, I had eaten it before. It was only after the Han army came that I was able to eat food every day. After joining the army, I had meat to eat. After I developed my internal strength, I had meat every day. And Sugar supply.

According to the internal standards of the Han army, it would cost fourteen taels of silver to train a warrior with internal strength alone for salary and food per month. Including some welfare benefits, the Han army would spend at least ten taels a year to raise a warrior. Eight taels of gold.

As for himself, the squadron leader offered wine, and the Han army spent no less than twenty-five taels of gold on him a year.

(Note, the current system of the Han army is very similar to the military system, using a farming system, so it spends so much on soldiers, mainly in materials, but actually uses very little money. With the current productivity of the Han army, it can completely support such a consumption of many soldiers and staff).

It is precisely because of such treatment, coupled with sufficient ideological propaganda and a complete pension system, that the soldiers of the Han army were able to fight in a desperate state.

If the enemy really thought that the strength of the Han army only relied on the so-called weapons, armor and training, they might not even know how they died.

Therefore, the Han army liaison officer quickly analyzed a lot of intelligence based on the information given by Jijiu and combined with the situation he had just seen, and then made corresponding decisions.

I saw the Han army liaison officer take out a gold coin and put it in the hand of Captain Mike.

"Let's not talk about dinner. You go buy food first so that everyone can have a good meal. Then we set off tomorrow. I will find a place to replenish food for you before we talk about the combat mission."

Others don't know the conversation between the two, but they just know that this golden thing is called a gold coin.

As a result, each of their eyes glowed green, and their gazes moved with the movement of the gold coins.

Captain Mike was very embarrassed, but after thinking about his own situation and what the Han army had said, he accepted it and handed it over to the deputy captain who was in charge of money.

"Exchange all of it for food so that everyone can have enough to eat!"

At this moment, everyone present understood that they had received an order.

As for who to hit, don't worry about it. The horses have been eating grass for three days, so hurry up and buy food to eat.

Drooling! ! !
