I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty, I don't give up

Chapter 386 Retirement

"Police?" Ma Desheng asked in surprise, "What are police?"

The officer was stunned for a moment, obviously stumped by the question, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm not sure either. I heard them say it seemed to be a constable."

"Constable?" This answer surprised Ma Desheng and made him feel a little relieved.

"This is your one-time subsidy after retirement, a total of forty silver coins, you can click on it." The officer handed Ma Desheng a heavy small bag.

Ma Desheng took the small bag with some surprise, weighed it and said in surprise: "How come there is a subsidy after retirement?"

"This is a new regulation. I heard it was set by His Majesty," said the officer.

"Your Majesty decided it." Ma Desheng was somewhat moved.
"Also, your injuries have not fully healed, and there is a high possibility of sequelae, so you will also receive a disability allowance. Based on your injuries, rank, and military merit assessment, it is 2 silver coins a month, and it will be paid until your injuries are fully healed. If there are sequelae, this allowance will be paid until years after your retirement." The officer said quickly.

"Retirement allowance? Two silver coins a month?" Ma Desheng was even more surprised. With the current prices, two silver coins were enough for a person to live comfortably for a month without doing anything.

"This is the standard set by His Majesty, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Jing also recognizes this standard. Moreover, your subsequent medical expenses will be borne by the Royal Group. It is free for you to go to the Royal Group's hospitals for treatment." The officer said with a smile.

"The emperor's grace is so great, the emperor's grace is so great!" Ma Desheng said excitedly.

The officer waited quietly for Ma Desheng to calm down before continuing, "According to the retirement regulations formulated by His Majesty, His Majesty has the right to recruit retired soldiers and officers. When His Majesty calls you to join the army, you must respond unconditionally to His Majesty's call. Do you agree with this?"

"I agree, I definitely agree. As long as Your Majesty calls me, I will definitely respond to your call and go through fire and water for your Majesty!" Ma Desheng immediately stood up and said firmly.

"In that case, then sign these documents. This is the retirement subsidy receipt confirmation form, this is the disability allowance confirmation form, and there is also the retirement commitment letter." The officer took out documents one by one.

Ma Desheng could write his own name, although it was ugly, but he still did not press his fingerprints, but wrote his name crookedly. In fact, both the retirement allowance and the disability allowance were proposed by Zhu Houxuan and approved by Zhu Houzhao, just to build the Guards into their most loyal support group.

After signing all of this, the officer put away all the documents and said, "There will be a retirement ceremony tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, the receiving units will send people to greet you and take you to your new receiving unit."

"Good luck to you!" The officer saluted.

"Thank you!" Ma Desheng also returned a military salute.

The next morning, Ma Desheng changed into a brand new uniform and went to the parade ground to attend the retirement ceremony. When entering the parade ground, the soldiers guarding the parade ground tied a big red flower made of red silk on the chest of each veteran.

This made Ma Desheng feel a little ashamed and uncomfortable, but he felt better after seeing that everyone at the scene was like this.
There are more than 2,000 retired veterans in this batch. More than 8,000 people were killed or wounded in the battle of Yingzhou. Most of them were slightly injured and returned to the team soon after recovering from their injuries. However, more than 2,000 people had to retire due to various injuries.
Ma Desheng looked at the veterans attending the meeting and found that he was very lucky to have no missing limbs. Most of the veterans had obvious physical disabilities. Many of them could not stand up and could only sit on special chairs.
The final battle of Yingzhou was too brutal.
The medical conditions of this era were still too poor. Although Zhu Houxuan was prepared, many people's injuries had deteriorated to the point where they needed amputation.
However, most of the more than 8,000 wounded survived. The treatment effect shocked the border army commanders. It was far beyond their imagination. In previous wars, the number of deaths of wounded soldiers after the battle was greater than the number of deaths on the battlefield.
Ma Desheng chatted with the veterans who were about to retire for a while and found that everyone had been assigned a new job. Some veterans who had lost their legs and had very limited working ability were also assigned to the Railway Ministry Warehousing Bureau of the Huanghai Group, supposedly to look after the warehouse.
Moreover, the veteran’s disability allowance is more than twice as high as his, which is enough for him to live on even if he doesn’t work.

At this moment, there was some commotion in the crowd, and a bright yellow figure appeared on the high platform of the parade ground. The parade ground suddenly became a sea of ​​joy, and all the veterans waved enthusiastically to the figure on the high platform.
Zhu Houzhao rushed from the capital to attend the retirement ceremony.

He kept waving his hands to greet the veterans who were about to retire, and the veterans cheered even louder.
After the funeral, Zhu Houzhao realized his mistake and started to participate in such activities. He gradually liked these activities. He liked the feeling of being supported by thousands of people. He also liked staying in the military camp.
Zhu Houzhao waited until the veterans quieted down before he began to speak: "I am really pleased to see that you have not become depressed after suffering such a great trauma, and still have hope for your future life."

Ma Desheng was moved by what he heard. He knew why he did not become depressed and still maintained hope for the future. The reason was that he had money. The bonus for killing the enemy in the Yingzhou battle and the subsequent rewards made him have more than 100 silver coins. With the subsequent retirement allowance and disability allowance, he had almost 200 silver coins.
This is definitely a huge sum of money in this era, and he will have a stable job in the future, which means he doesn't have to worry about his future life and has no worries.
He also knew that the retired veterans at the scene were similar to him.
As soon as Zhu Houzhao said this, many veterans at the scene started crying.
"Don't be too sad about leaving the Guards. If you want to come back and visit us in the future, you can come and see us anytime."

"Although you have left the Guards, you are still working for me. The Royal Group is also my property. If you work hard in your new positions, you are also working for me."

"I know many of you, and I know you are reluctant to leave the Guards, but I have to do this. You will have a new life after leaving the Guards. A new life is waiting for you."
