Chapter 15 Distribution of Supplies
"Among you, there are fathers, sons and brothers, but I want to say that on the battlefield, every comrade around you is dependent on you for life and death!"

"You eat together, live together, live together, and die together. You are a big whole!"

"Eat meat from one pot, sleep on another bed, fight on the battlefield, if you are in danger, you need someone to help you, and if you die, you need someone to bury you!"

"Only in this way can we win the battle, only in this way can we build an ever-victorious army!"

After Xiao Jingchuan's admonition, the hundreds of soldiers under him, who were just in high spirits, now fell silent again.

"Today, we fought our way out of the capital and won our first battle!"

"Right here, on this battlefield, I, Xiao Jingchuan, will issue the first military order of my new army!"

"From now on, any seized materials must first be collected and returned to the public!"

"If anyone hides secretly, he will be executed immediately!"

"Sun Peizhong!"

"Here!" Sun Peizhong replied with a fist salute.

"Organize the soldiers and gather all the cleaning supplies under this platform!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Jingchuan was laughing and scolding, and the soldiers were obviously a little tired of watching this. It might be impossible for them to fully digest it at once, but the military order had been issued, and it was a foregone conclusion that the spoils that had been seized must be returned to the public. So, following Sun Peizhong's organization, teams of soldiers came out and began to dig out weapons and supplies from under the platform.

The scene seemed silent and serious, but it also had a sense of humor that made people laugh and cry.

"Changting, have you ever seen your general with this look on his face before?" Qiu Zhizhong was hiding at the end of the queue, whispering to Gu Changting who was standing beside him.

"Ah? Mr. Qiu, my general is also...this." Gu Changting was an honest man. He had never seen such a neurotic Xiao Lang. He wanted to protect the general, but was speechless for a moment, looking embarrassed.

"Hey, come on, come on! Look at you!"

"Don't mention you, this is the first time I've seen him do this!"

"This Xiao Lang is becoming more and more interesting!"

"You guys just saw it, this guy is really a dog-faced guy, he changes in an instant!"

Qiu Zhizhong was teasing Xiao Jingchuan in a vivid manner at the end of the team. Li Huchen was also standing nearby. He had just joined the team and was reluctant to join in. So when he saw Qiu Zhizhong being funny, he had to pretend to be calm and tried hard to hold back his laughter.

"Li Huchen! Li Huchen!"

Just as Li Huchen was trying hard to hold back his laughter, suddenly, Xiao Jingchuan on the podium shouted his name.

The two shouts almost made the brave and strong man suffocate.

"Here!" Li Huchen responded, his voice sounding split.

"I am here!" His expression was painful. He did not dare to delay and quickly ran to the bottom of the platform.

"Li Huchen's troops lured the enemy deep into our territory and fought bravely. They deserve the greatest credit!"

"Here, take it!"

As the supplies were gathered together, Xiao Jingchuan picked out an exquisite sword belonging to the enemy vanguard, called Li Huchen, and threw the thing into his hands as a reward!
Li Huchen stretched out his hand to take the sword, and saw that the sheath was very gorgeous. It was definitely not an ordinary item, and it might be a family heirloom. He was very happy, so he turned over and drew the sword to test it, then held the sword high to show everyone.

"The general is mighty! General Xiao is mighty!"

Following his shout, Li Huchen's soldiers echoed in unison.

"Hey, fat boy, I'm talking to you, Qi Dayong!" Xiao Jingchuan called out again.

"General, I'm here!"

When Qi Dayong heard that his own captain was named, he knew that he would definitely get a reward, so he grinned and bowed to the bottom of the platform.

"You are a very capable fighter, killing enemies in battle. I saw you wielding two hammers."

"Here, I'll give you this belt with a gold buckle. It's perfect for tying up those two bronze hammers!"

"Hahaha, gold, gold buckle, haha, thank you General!" Qi Dayong was overjoyed.

"The general is mighty, the general is mighty!"

After another round of shouting, the pain in their flesh from having just seized the spoils seemed to have eased a little.

"Soldiers, returning the spoils to the public has been the foundation of a strong army since ancient times!"

"I, Xiao Jingchuan, want to lead soldiers, not thieves, let alone robbers!"

"In our army, if you have made contributions, you will definitely be rewarded! If you have made mistakes, you must also be punished!"

"This time, Li Huchen's cavalry made the greatest contribution. I order that all weapons and supplies be given priority to Li Huchen's cavalry!" "As for the rations, follow the old rules and distribute them equally to everyone. No one should be left out!"

"Sun Peizhong!"

"Yes!" Sun Peizhong replied.

"All supplies will be replaced in a quarter of an hour!"

"Maintain order. All units must line up and line up one by one to select weapons and equipment. Do not take too much. The ones you have replaced should also be placed under the high platform for the people behind to select!"

"Yes!"

Following Xiao Jingchuan's order, soldiers from each team began to move one by one.

Seeing that his soldiers had been organized, Xiao Jingchuan got down from the platform and put a smile on his face again.

He walked to the side away from the crowd for a while, and Qiu Zhizhong quickly followed him. When he reached in front of him, he suddenly pushed Xiao Lang with his shoulder.

"Old Xiao, it's so high!"

"Hey, I'm wondering, where is the serious and stubborn Xiao Lang?"

"One stick for one sweet date, using both kindness and force, how evil!"

"Tell me the truth, when and from whom did you learn this trick?"

"Don't tell me this is the result of your enlightenment!" Qiu Zhizhong teased.

"Oh, that's right! It's really the enlightenment that I got!" Xiao Jingchuan took the opportunity to say it easily.

"Come on, you swindler, you also want to shout?"

"Others can't see through it, but you're fooling me. That's not even close!" Qiu Zhizhong retorted.

"Hehe, who can fool you, Mr. Qiu?"

"I can't help it."

"First of all, the army really needs to rectify its discipline. Now that we have just won a victory, morale is high, and it is the right time to rectify it!"

"Secondly, to be honest, Li Huchen is not like you and me. He just came over and made military achievements. If I don't show some appreciation, it will be wrong. Taking Brother Huchen as an example will also help the soldiers."

"And as for this big brother Huchen, I do cherish his talent! How can I feel at ease if I don't win him over such a good general?" Xiao Jingchuan spoke from the bottom of his heart without reservation in front of Qiu Zhizhong.

"Haha, I promised to join you yesterday, but I'm still a little nervous when I go back!"

"I'm afraid that you have the temper of Master Fan when it comes to fighting and doing things. Even eight horses can't stop you when you get stubborn."

"Now it seems that, although I don't know how you changed your personality, Xiao Jingchuan looks so pleasing to the eye!"

Qiu Zhizhong smiled brightly, seeming extremely satisfied with the person in front of him.

"By the way, what are you doing now?"

"Aren't you going to keep an eye on the distribution of equipment?" Qiu Zhizhong continued.

"Hey, let them choose for themselves!"

"Li Huchen's troops are all cavalry, and after the battle, I saw that they all like to charge at close range, so I guess that most of the hot weapons will give priority to the three-barreled gun with great power at close range."

"The Rumi gun has a high rate of fire and a long range, the three-eyed gun has great power at close range and has a large killing range, and the bird gun is the worst."

"Based on the spoils, the bandits chasing us this time should also be the main force of the Dashun Army!"

"We have gained a lot from this battle. As for weapons and equipment, it is enough for all of us to upgrade our personnel!"

"Let's not talk about this anymore!"

"Let's go, Mr. Qiu, lead the way."

"We will be heading into the mountains after we finish packing. Take me to meet those princes and ministers. Report the military situation to the prince in advance, so that those ministers won't make up stories about me not knowing etiquette!"

Xiao Jingchuan gave Qiu Zhizhong a shrewd and strange look.

Qiu Zhizhong found it really ridiculous to see him looking like he deserved a beating!
[Li Huchen's Cavalry: 150-30=120 people, 80% of them have three-barreled guns, 20% have Rumi guns, and no strategy for cold weapons]

[Shenji Camp Troops: 450 people, 20% with Rumi guns, 80% with bird guns, no strategy for cold weapons]

[Military servants of each prefecture: 50 people, bird guns 100%, no strategy for cold weapons]
