After entering the city, Li Ye ordered people to carry the injured soldiers down first and ordered the doctors to treat them immediately.
At this time, the boxes containing gold, silver and jewelry were unloaded.
From the very beginning, Qin Qingxue was very confused when she saw these boxes.
If we want to fight, let’s fight. Why are there so many wooden boxes stored on the carriage?
Qin Qingxue looked at them for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking, "Where did these wooden boxes come from, and what's inside them?"
Li Ye did not hide it. After all, these things would get out sooner or later.
He reached out and patted the wooden box, then opened it in front of everyone.
Look at the box full of gold and silver bars, and even some jewels and jade mixed in.
Not only Qin Qingxue, but also other generals were shocked on the spot.
His eyes almost popped out.
"Where did you get so much gold and silver?"
After Qin Qingxue paid back the money owed to Li Ye, she also paid off Shi Wushuang's huge debt.
Money is extremely scarce these days.
In addition, without Li Ye's money to spend, they lived in extreme poverty relying solely on their salary.
The entire Qin Mansion felt uncomfortable all of a sudden.
He thought that he could seize some property in the war and keep some for himself.
It can continue to maintain the Qin Mansion’s expenses and return it to Shi Wushuang.
However, the first battle at the border was a horrible defeat.
Seeing so much money, even Qin Qingxue, who is usually very noble, showed greed in her eyes.
"Of course it was captured from Annan. The Annan army plundered our Dayuan clan, so naturally, the prince would not show them mercy.
They must compensate us for the damage they have done to Dayuan."
Watching the big boxes being carried down one by one, Qin Qingxue calculated in her mind how much they were worth.
There were more than 170 large boxes in total, and each box contained at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.
It took more than a dozen people to carry it down.
It looks very heavy.
This means that in this battle, Li Ye earned at least 200,000 taels of silver.
This does not include the gold and jewelry inside, whose value is inestimable.
Qin Qingxue felt extremely unbalanced.
She never considered these things when leading troops to war. Military expenses should be the responsibility of the court and the Ministry of Revenue.
Li Ye only sent troops once, but received such a rich reward.
I began to regret why I didn’t take away some property when I attacked the barbarians before?
What's more, Li Ye was able to successfully raid the Kingdom of Annan because he led the main force to attract the Annan army.
Speaking of Li Ye's victory, Qin Qingxue also contributed to it.
Qin Qingxue couldn't save face in front of Li Ye and asked for it.
Shi Wushuang was also greatly surprised. He had never seen anyone fight like this.
After invading another country, they actually thought of looting property first.
If this kind of thing were to get out, it would definitely affect the reputation of the Dayuan Dynasty.
Because only an uncivilized and barbaric small country can do such a thing.
The great Dayuan Dynasty would definitely be criticized for looting.
I'm afraid even the imperial envoys in the court will report Li Ye.
"I'm afraid what Your Highness is doing is not appropriate, is it?" Shi Wushuang looked at Li Ye sarcastically.
"Your Highness is a prince, yet he plundered other countries' property during the war.
If this gets out, it will bring discredit to the royal family."
Li Ye sneered, "As expected, the disciples of Yunlu Pavilion are so aloof that they look down on money.
You can ask Mr. Wushuang!
The Annan army entered our Dayuan territory, burning, killing, and looting the people of the Zhou clan. Why can't we retaliate in kind? "
Li Ye pointed at the injured soldiers and said: "All the soldiers fought bravely, some even died on the battlefield.
How can their families live with such a small amount of pension and salary?
With this money, they can serve Dayuan without any worries and protect the Dayuan family.
Young Master Wushuang grew up in Yunlu Pavilion and never worried about food and clothing expenses.
Of course, I don’t know how difficult life is for ordinary people with the surname Qi.
Without these soldiers fighting bravely, everyone in Yunlu Pavilion probably wouldn't even have enough to eat.
What qualifications do you have to accuse Prince Yu of allowing people to plunder the enemy's property?"
The soldiers next to him couldn't help but shout loudly after hearing what Li Ye said.
I highly agree with what Li Ye said.
In addition to defending their country, they joined the army hoping to build a career, get promoted and make money.
However, very few people can be promoted, and most people will die on the battlefield.
If they can provide enough pension so that their family can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, they will be willing to do so.
I was afraid that after I died, the whole family would be left without a pillar of support and would not have enough to eat.
This is what the soldiers are most worried about.
Li Ye's approach provided sufficient protection for the soldiers.
Even if you die in battle, there is no need to worry.
Shi Wushuang lives an extremely free and easy life, unconcerned with worldly affairs. How could he know the sufferings of ordinary people with the surname Qi?
The view of Shi Wushuang has also changed greatly.
Especially the soldiers led by Qin Qingxue, who looked at Li Ye's subordinates with great envy.
They worked so hard but got nothing.
After fighting a battle with Li Ye, he brought back so much money and won a great victory.
The gap between the two sides is obvious.
We are not fools. We know clearly who to follow to have a better future.
Li Ye took the opportunity to stand on a large box and said to everyone: "Prince Wu made a promise before the army was dispatched that as long as you fight bravely, half of all the money captured will be divided among you.
The entire army assembled and began distributing rewards.
Those killed in battle will receive ten times the amount, the wounded will receive double the amount, the seriously injured will receive ten times the amount, and the disabled will receive seven times the amount."
The soldiers all cheered loudly with excitement.
I am very satisfied with Li Ye’s distribution method.
The seriously injured soldiers rushed to the front, and it was because of their casualties that their lives were saved.
It is only natural to give more rewards.
With this much money, their family can live a comfortable life.
Even if they only received double the reward, everyone would at least have one or two taels of silver.
For ordinary people, this is already a huge sum of money.
Bringing that money home can help you build a house or even buy land.
Let the family live a good life.
The other soldiers were extremely envious.
At this moment, everyone approved of Li Ye's way of leading the troops.
There is a future in fighting under a commander like this.
Qin Qingxue and Shi Wushuang did nothing but make promises and use military law to intimidate.
Fighting to the death, only a few can achieve success and be rewarded.
Most of the soldiers didn't even have a hair.
Qin Qingxue's position in the soldiers' hearts was completely shaken.
They all wanted to fight with Li Ye.
Arrange several dozen soldiers to count the seized money in public.
Be fair and just.
They even took into account the ease with which the soldiers could take the money back, and gave them gold and jewelry of equivalent value.
Easy to carry with you.
If they still felt unsafe, Li Ye would write them a receipt and exchange it when they returned to Beijing.
The soldiers were deeply moved by this move.
The prince was so considerate to them, thinking about them in everything and taking every aspect into consideration.
