Qin Qingxue has clearly felt that the mentality of her soldiers has changed significantly.
Obviously, they all began to look forward to having Ye as their commander.
If this sentiment spread to the entire army, her prestige as the commander-in-chief would be completely destroyed.
The troops in command strictly obeyed her orders.
Such an army cannot exert its true combat effectiveness at all.
Qin Qingxue was already furious.
She walked up to Ye Zi angrily, her pretty face icy, "Your Highness the Sixth Prince, what you are doing is totally against the rules! You are disrupting the morale of the army.
As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, I order you to immediately cancel the rewards for the soldiers."
Ye frowned and glanced at her: "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!
These soldiers fought bravely and killed the enemy bravely, and they all made great achievements.
What's wrong with rewarding them?
If I hadn't led them to invade Annan, how would I have lifted your siege?"
Qin Qingxue's pretty face flushed with anger. Ye's words touched her sore spot.
If it weren't for the help of Ye, the city would have been breached.
Even if she could escape with Shi Wushuang during the chaos, the Kuri army would probably be completely wiped out.
After such a defeat, the emperor will definitely hold us accountable.
Shi Wushuang saw that Qin Qingxue was at a disadvantage, and immediately said, "If Your Highness starts to lead the way, and demands a share of the rewards in future battles, it will only add a heavier burden to the national treasury.
If there is no reward, will there be no more wars?"
"This statement may seem reasonable, but it actually shows a complete lack of trust in the soldiers.
A leader should reward and punish accordingly.
After winning a battle and gaining something, it is natural to reward all the soldiers according to the circumstances.
Only in this way can we inspire the soldiers to win the battle."
Ye said seriously.
"Say yes!" The soldiers responded enthusiastically.
What Ye said touched the hearts of the soldiers.
And he has already felt the benefits of fighting hard to win.
His prestige in the army has reached its peak.
No matter who it was, I'm afraid that Ye's words would not be as effective as anyone else's.
Shi Wushuang and Qin Qingxue's faces turned ashen.
Realizing that he had completely lost control of the military's morale.
"I will report this matter to the Emperor and will absolutely not allow you to do anything reckless."
Qin Qingxue was also helpless against Ye. After all, he was a prince and had the qualifications to lead an army independently.
Ye can seize Qin Qingxuede's military power.
But Qin Qingxue was not qualified to take away the army of the emperor.
After saying that, he left angrily.
The other soldiers looked at Ye with eyes full of anticipation.
They all hope that Ye can take charge of the entire army.
They even wanted to reorganize their army and attack Annan.
Ye personally took charge and distributed all the reward money.
He left some of the remaining rice.
Xu Ye said to Ruyue Jun proudly: "This part is the part I paid in advance, and I have earned it all back including the interest.
Now you understand the benefits of paying money in advance and providing weapons and carriages to the soldiers, right?
It is worth spending any amount of money to improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers.
And as long as we win the battle, all the money will be returned."
Ruyue County㹏 seemed to be lost in thought.
“This method is indeed very useful, but it seems that only you can do it.
Even if the other generals took out all their wealth, it probably wouldn't be enough."
“Of course we can’t let the generals in command advance the expenses, but the court should give more consideration to this aspect.
Even if it means spending a little more money to upgrade weapons and equipment, it's worth it as long as we can win the battle."
Although Ye was talking to Ruyue Jun, he was actually speaking to Zhao Wudi.
After all, Zhao Wudi can tell all the information directly to the emperor.
As long as you know that chariots and crossbows prepared in advance can play a very good role in the war.
The court can allocate more military funds in the future.
We cannot spend most of our money on elite troops.
Zhao Wudi also agreed with this.
The chariots and crossbows that Ye prepared in advance played a very good role on the battlefield.
Crossbows have great lethality, and even ordinary soldiers can demonstrate strong combat effectiveness as long as they are properly trained.
Not to mention the carriage.
Able to transport more soldiers at a faster average speed.
Can easily escape the enemy's pursuit.
It can also save soldiers' physical strength and maintain sufficient combat effectiveness at any time.
It is especially useful for long-range raids.
Although it costs a lot of money to build these carriages, war horses are not required to pull them.
The feeding cost is relatively low.
There is no need to put a lot of effort into training the horses.
Moreover, soldiers could consume more food when they went to war in carriages.
Calculated this way, the cost is actually not high.
Zhao Wudi decided to report all these good methods for combat to the emperor.
After distributing the money, Guanye went to check on the injured soldiers in person.
The soldiers were deeply moved.
Following such a general, I would be willing to die on the battlefield.
They all expressed that after they recovered from their injuries, they would continue to fight with Ye.
With a smile on his face, Ye comforted everyone: "You all should take good care of your injuries! Return to the army when you are able to recover.
If you are injured and can no longer fight, this prince will arrange for you to work in the business.
Even if you start from the bottom, you can earn at least five taels of silver per piece of silk."
The wounded soldier was shocked again.
I didn't expect Ye to be so nice to them.
They were assigned to work in businesses and earned more money than their military pay.
The key point is that they are all injured, but they are still willing to take them in.
Everyone is moved beyond words.
Even though he had to endure immense pain, he struggled to get up and kowtow to Ye.
"Thank you, Your Highness. You have been so kind to us! We have no way to repay you!"
"Hurry up and lie down properly. What are you doing? What if you break the wound?
You are all ministers who have served the court and Dayuan and shed blood.
It is your responsibility to arrange your affairs.
Everyone should have a good rest and recover as soon as possible.
You can tell the steward what kind of food you want to eat. This prince has arranged for a chef to prepare it for you."
The soldiers never dreamed of receiving such good treatment.
If the wound wasn't still so painful, I wouldn't have believed it was true.
But he had always looked down on the Sixth Prince before, but now he was so nice to them.
I feel extremely ashamed.
He made up his mind to be loyal to Ye and only obey his orders.
Even if it was an imperial edict, they wouldn't even glance at it.
After visiting the injured, Ye immediately returned to the camp.
We need to discuss the next battle plan.
The Kingdom of Annan suffered such a huge loss, and yet they still thought they had other advantages.
I must give up on this.
Maybe they will continue to attack Dayuan for the sake of face.
We must come up with a good strategy for how to fight the next battle.
After all, all the tricks that Ye could perform have been used up.
We must be fully prepared if the enemy attacks again.
It is no longer possible to catch the enemy off guard.
In the future battles, we can only rely on our true strength.
