Chapter 21 The Emperor's Grace (Ask for Recommendation Votes and Collections)
The angel who came to announce the decree was none other than Wang Tiqian, who was sent by Chongzhen a few days ago.
In Chongzhen's plan, Dongjiang Town is a very important part of the future and even the current plan. After all, Mao Wenlong is also a powerhouse in the Spirit Infant Realm, and he will not be as casual as Shi Chongzhen.
Wang Tiqian, as an old man who followed Chongzhen, although Chongzhen's mind has not become easy to figure out recently.
But for Wang Tiqian, who regarded Chongzhen as his own heaven, he knew very well how much the emperor valued Mao Wenlong.
At the moment, he said to Mao Wenlong: "Mao Dashuai, don't be in a hurry to eat this meal first, when our family comes, the emperor has instructions for the soldiers in Dongjiang Town." ”
Seeing that although Mao Wenlong's face was not obvious, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes from time to time, and Wang Tiqian smiled: "The handsome man is relieved." It's a good thing to come to our house this time!
Let the soldiers go to the school, and let our family announce the emperor's edict and the will to Mao Dashuai. ”
Seeing this, Mao Wenlong's heart settled down a little, so he led everyone and walked towards the school with Wang Chengen and his entourage.
When he arrived at the school, Wang Tiqian boarded the inspection platform, and the Han generals behind him stood together.
Wang Tiqian saw that everyone had already stood according to their positions on the inspection platform, so he read aloud with all his aura:
"I, Emperor Zhu Youzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Xiang Yuan in Dongjiang Town, Liaodong, the soldiers who fought bloodily to defend the Ming Dynasty.
Say: You are suffering!
Your efforts today, Daming will not forget, I will not forget, and the people of Daming will not forget!"
The cultivation of the Wang Tiqian Spirit Infant Realm, read it out with spiritual energy, which naturally made everyone below hear it.
Before Wang Tiqian finished his announcement, there was a buzz, and the pot exploded under the inspection stage, and no one dared to believe his ears, such a straightforward remark was said by the emperor?
"Silence!" General Dahan roared, and the shocked Dongjiang soldiers and civilians calmed down.
Wang Tiqian continued to read out: "In the six years since the opening of Dongjiang Town, under the leadership of Mao Wenlong, the commander of Dongjiang, hundreds of thousands of Dongjiang soldiers and civilians have gone deep behind enemy lines, fought bravely, and were not afraid of sacrifice.
And always insisted on the front line of the fight against the demons, which effectively involved the great energy of the demons, making Houjin unable to go south and knock on the pass, and defended the lives of hundreds of millions of subjects of the Ming Dynasty.
In the battle against the Houjin, the Dongjiang Army had the most combat exploits and beheadings, and I thought that the Dongjiang Army deserved to be an iron army with a good reputation.
From Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of the Dongjiang River, down to the soldiers and people, they have all contributed to the country and made great contributions.
In view of the above great merits, I have decided to increase the annual salary paid by the imperial court to Dongjiang Town from 500,000 spirit stones to 1 million spirit stones.
In addition, I also promised that after two years of prosperity in the imperial court, I would build a martyr's shrine in Chengtianmen Square.
All the martyrs who sacrificed for the country, especially the martyrs who died in the Dongjiang Army's previous wars against the Houjin, will enter the Martyrs' Shrine.
As long as the Ming Dynasty is immortal, the martyrs who enter the Martyrs' Shrine will rest with the country and be immortal!"
In the end, Wang Tiqian announced: "Now, this angel will distribute this salary!"
The grain and salary brought by Wang Tiqian this time were directly pulled out of the internal money, and there was no opportunity for the middlemen to make a price difference.
Under the escort of Jinyiwei, the grain and salary departed from the capital to Tianjin Port, and then directly loaded and shipped to Dongjiang Town.
In this way, the 1 million grain paid by the imperial court to Dongjiang Town was transported to Phi Island for the first time.
The Dongjiang soldiers and civilians saw boxes of white flowers and spirit stones and loads of grain being continuously transported from the big ship to the wharf, and their eyes were straight.
"Oh my God, I've never seen so many spirit stones in my life!"
"The grain is the same, and it is as high as a mountain. ”
"How much is the salary paid by the imperial court this time, a million spirit stones?"
"yes, a million. ”
"But how do I feel that it is several times more than the fifty spirit stone food and salary I paid last year?"
"You don't know!
In the past, the grain and salary were all shipped from Shandong, but after the Shandong officials got their hands on it, didn't only half of it remain!
But this time, after the emperor pulled out the grain and salary from the internal treasury, he went directly from the capital to Tianjin, and then directly transported it from Tianjin Port to our Dongjiang River.
If you don't give corrupt officials a chance to do their jobs at all, won't all these millions of spirit stones be sent to us!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Great! With so much food, we can finally continue to cultivate, maybe my realm will improve!"
"Cut, it's up to you, in the next life!"
"What do you say, do you want to fight?"
"Come on, who's afraid of whom......"
In the midst of this noise, there is indescribable joy. When the soldiers and civilians of Dongjiang saw so much food and salary, many people remembered that the family had never had enough to eat, and their own realm was not full, and tears fell from their eyes.
After a period of noisy noise, "Wow!" I don't know who started, the first one howled and cried, and then it infected everyone, and there was a cry on the field of Dongjiang University, and tears almost drowned the entire Dongjiang Town.
"The emperor and the court have finally recognized our merits!"
"The emperor has not forgotten us, his old man really understands our suffering!"
Over the years, the Dongjiang military and civilians have gone through the separation of their wives, their escape to the islands, and the continuous encirclement and suppression of Houjin, and their hearts have long been tempered to be extremely strong.
But Zhu Youzhen's big vernacular words on the holy decree made them cry like fingers, and vented all the sorrows and grievances hidden in their hearts to their heart's content.
In this situation, even Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of the Dongjiang River, this mighty and majestic man couldn't help but tears in his eyes.
It's just that as the lord of an army, he must maintain his majesty, and he can only try to raise his neck and look at the sky, so as not to let tears fall.
"Alas!" Wang Tiqian couldn't help but sigh when he saw the scene, and then turned his head to look at Mao Wenlong, and said: "Mao Wenlong Mao General Soldier, the emperor has another special decree to be kind to you, take the order." ”
Wang Tiqian preached: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of the Dongjiang River, will turn the tide when the Liaodong Mansion is about to fall.
The road is ragged, the Dongjiang River is created, the Houjin Demon Clan is resisted, there are many gains, and the edict Mao Wenlong is the founding marquis of Dongjiang Town, called the Marquis of Zhenjiang, Shilu Qianshi, hereditary replacement, and the country is resting, Qin this!"
I have actually been made a marquis! And I am also a hereditary founding marquis! This is really a great grace of the emperor!
At this moment, Mao Wenlong's body trembled, tiger tears crisscrossed horizontally, and he said in a trembling voice: "Minister, thank you Lord Longen! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
