There were only so many people in Qianniu Mountain. Even if the Japanese wanted to take revenge, they could not send out a large army. One or two squadrons would be the most they could do.
No matter how many there were, they would only be puppet soldiers. Chen Ping 'an wanted to lure Wang Baokun over by killing Wang Erxi.
The night passed quickly. There were dozens of traitors in the prisoner of war camp.
After a night of training, the 100 people who were screened out had a different mental outlook.
However, Chen Ping 'an only allowed the newcomers to rest for less than four hours before waking them up to continue training.
Chen Ping 'an did not touch the spoils of war when he came back last night.
There were hundreds of tons of grain transported up the mountain.
The rest of the food was distributed to the surrounding villages last night.
At the same time, he also dealt with the traitors in the surrounding villages and seized a lot of money.
However, the majority of the money was from Wang Erxi's house.
There were almost 200 catties of gold, more than 500 catties of silver, and more than 10,000 yuan.
Moreover, many of them were aged ingots.
Wang Erxi was even richer for several generations. During the Qing Dynasty, his ancestors had even been high-ranking officials.
He had spent a lot of his family assets, and that was all Wang Erxi had.
Most of them were actually passed down by their ancestors.
However, it was still quite a lot.
Chen Ping 'an used all his silver and gold to top up his account. As for the money, he didn't touch it.
Although Thousand Bull Mountain had become his subordinate, the soldiers still needed to make a living, and some even needed to support their families.
Therefore, they needed to be paid.
In this day and age, the salary of a soldier was basically two to three yuan per month. The same was true for the puppet army.
Of course, those who were in arrears with their salaries were not included, especially the puppet army. Sometimes, they would not even receive their salaries once in a few months.
The purchasing power of one yuan was still acceptable.
Even if the war was chaotic and the prices were unstable, the purchasing power of one yuan was still very good.
If the family of three were to save a little, one or two yuan a month would be enough.
If they were in the countryside, they basically did not need to spend much money.
Chen Ping 'an had naturally considered the issue of military pay.
Since everyone was fighting the Japanese with him, he had the responsibility and obligation to let the soldiers have less worries.
He couldn't possibly let the soldiers fight the Japanese at the front line and worry about his family not having enough to eat!
Furthermore, in the future, when recruiting soldiers and buying horses, they would naturally need the support of military salaries.
It was one thing to have the awareness to fight the Japanese, but it was another to not mistreat the soldiers.
The salary was also related to the treatment and position.
Ordinary soldiers were paid five dollars a month, and the squad leader and deputy squad leader were paid an extra dollar.
Starting from the officers, the salary system was also established accordingly.
It was basically twice as much as the regular army.
This was also the only benefit that Chen Ping 'an gave to all the soldiers.
As for the weapons and equipment that were seized and rewarded, Chen Ping 'an did not directly take them back. After all, there was a shortage of weapons everywhere. These firearms could definitely be sold for a good price.
There were hundreds of armed forces of various sizes in the surrounding counties. Some people collected weapons, but few were selling them.
Only some puppet soldiers sold some firearms, but at most, they only sold a few guns. Not only were they few in quantity, but they were also extremely expensive.
If he wanted to sell firearms, he only needed to spread the word and someone would immediately come to buy it.
Therefore, there was no need to worry about sales.
The firearms that were seized and rewarded were all placed in the arsenal, and a portion was used to train the new recruits.
They would first let the new recruits use the weapons they seized. After they passed the training, they would be given Type 5 or 6 semi-automatic rifles. This way, they could save some money.
After all, he didn't need to use a Type 5 or 6 semi-automatic rifle to train his marksmanship. An ordinary rifle would do.
When the time came, he would just need to familiarize himself with the Type 5 or 6 semi-automatic rifle.
As a gun family specially supplied by the system, the price of a Type 5 or 6 semi-automatic rifle was twice as expensive as ordinary weapons, and the same was true for bullets.
Moreover, there was no need to waste so many weapons and ammunition.
After setting up the rules for military pay and pension, Chen Ping 'an took out the Talent Summoning Card rewarded by the system.
[Talent Summoning Card: You can choose to summon a talent from various fields. Each summoned talent has the highest talent and can be nurtured to the end!]
It was a pretty good item. Unfortunately, a Talent Summoning Card could only summon one.
Fortunately, Chen Ping 'an also realized that when he obtained the Talent Summoning Card, the Honor Mall also added a new Talent Summoning Card, but it could only be purchased with Honor Points.
Most importantly, the price wasn't cheap. One card cost 500 Honor Points, and he couldn't afford one at the moment.
Honor points were a good thing, but it was not easy to obtain a large number of them now.
Immediately after, a young man wearing the same combat uniform as Chen Ping 'an appeared in front of him.
"Sir, Zhou Weiguo is here to report!”
The familiar face surprised Chen Ping 'an, but he quickly reacted. He nodded and said,""You came at the right time. The army has just started to develop, and there are many jobs that need manpower. Next, your job is to train the army and train the officers. There are not many people now, and the team under you can only form a company at most.”
"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!" Zhou Weiguo didn't waste any time. He saluted and went out to take up his post.
When the character was summoned, it would obtain relevant memories. Naturally, it was familiar with the situation around Chen Ping 'an. Therefore, there was no need for an introduction at all. It could immediately take up the post.
With Zhou Weiguo around, Chen Ping 'an felt much more relaxed.
At least now, he could directly consider the construction of the base's defensive firepower.
The Japanese could come for revenge at any time. The defensive firepower of the Qianniu Mountain base needed to be established immediately, and the soldiers needed to familiarize themselves with the deployed firepower points as soon as possible.
In order to prevent the Japanese from ambushing, Chen Ping 'an also sent two squads of soldiers to monitor the situation at the foot of the mountain.
Before leaving the office, Chen Ping 'an also used the 200 catties of gold that he had seized.
Using it to increase the inventory space, 100 catties increased one cubic meter, and 200 catties was exactly three cubic meters.
The size was also average. It was one meter in length, one meter in width, and three meters in height. It was just that big of a space, but the shape of the space could be changed at will.
If it was a little more compact, it could still fit a lot of things.
