Chapter 326: Pick a Reward
After writing the note, Qi Jiguang immediately led the generals to the tent where the captive women lived temporarily.
The soldiers had already informed the management here that at this time, the women of the Eastern captives were already lined up on the snow, waiting for the soldiers of the Ming army to come and choose.
They already lived in a cold area, the Ming army had strict military discipline, and no one dared to abuse them, and they did not feel too cold in cotton clothes.
As soon as they arrived, the generals were attracted by a large number of women, and their wolf-like gaze swept over the women of Dongzhu and Mengyuan one by one.
They were all surprised to find that these women were not bad, and they were not as rough and ugly as they imagined.
On the contrary, they are all tall and fair-skinned, but they are only slightly fat and strong, and there are not some beautiful women among them.
In the past, these barbarian women had to do housework and farm work and grazing, and their skin was very poor all day long, and people did not look very good.
However, after the Eastern Exile became strong, many slaves were plundered from the Ming Dynasty every year, so that all of them became masters, and everything was done by the Han Chinese.
The Han people not only had to help them work, but also had to wait for them, and even the Han people had to wash their feet.
Pampered all day long, and there is no lack of nutrition, gradually changing their original appearance, which is also the main reason for their great changes.
Huang Degong immediately walked to a captive woman and reached out to pick her chin:
"I want this, are you willing to go with General Ben?"
The woman nodded without hesitation:
"Yes, let the general arrange it."
Huang Degong was almost frightened by this woman's straightforward words, it is indeed different from us Han women, she speaks and does things too straightforwardly, she doesn't know shame at all, and she is only suitable for being a servant and a concubine.
Huang Degong tried to ask again:
"Why did you answer so simply, do you know what that means?"
"I know, in the future, the slave will be the servant of the general, and I will definitely try my best to serve the general."
is so self-aware and completely familiar with the road, it seems that what the emperor said is right, they are the trophies of the strong, and they will not have their own thoughts.
The result of the communication between the other soldiers and the women of the Eastern Captives was almost the same as Huang Degong, after being brought to the Ming Dynasty, these women had already accepted their fate, and no one resisted or refused at all.
Yan Yingyuan walked around among them, and then picked out two young and beautiful ones to give to Qi Jiguang:
"This is our commander, you must serve him well in the future, otherwise we will throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves."
The two women hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed:
"Obey, don't worry, the minion will definitely serve the marshal."
Qi Jiguang just wanted to refuse, but the two women had already stood up and stood behind him.
Thinking that there were soldiers around him, not a single servant, let alone a woman, and he really needed someone to serve him in his daily life, Qi Jiguang did not refuse.
Seeing that Governor Qi Jiguang had acquiesced, the other generals immediately began to choose the person they liked, and soon there were two barbarian women standing beside everyone.
But Yan Yingyuan and Li Dingguo had no choice, they were still young, and they were ready to marry a wife first, and then take a concubine, Qi Jiguang looked at the two and did not force them.
Seeing that everyone had almost finished choosing, Qi Jiguang immediately asked the soldiers to hand over those notes to the remaining barbarian women, who still had as many as seventy or eighty thousand.
After the soldiers handed over the notes to the barbarian women, the commander of the Ming army began to call the number, holding the woman who was called to the number in his hand, and immediately went to meet them.
This is a good way to not only have an order, but also to avoid delaying the selection of time.
There are so many people, if they all go to choose, many soldiers will be dazzled, and it is estimated that they will not be able to complete it in one day.
In about half a day, most of these women were already famous, and the remaining thousands of them would be rewarded to other meritorious soldiers.
These women are different from Han women, they do not bind their feet, and they are much better at doing things than Han women, who are all small feet and can't do heavy work at all.
After this side is over, the congregation will come to another place.
The women who live here temporarily are all brought back from Liaodong, who have suffered a lot over the years, and now they are going to turn over and become masters.
Because they were all compatriots, they were not concentrated in the snow, but all in a dozen tents.
If you fancy a Han woman, you must get the consent of the family to take it away, there are still human rights here, and they must be treated differently from barbarians.
There were soldiers in charge of propaganda, and they were briefed in tents one by one, and soon they knew what was going on.
It turned out that they were going to be wives for the soldiers, and they were all very happy, they could finally live a normal life, and finally had a home.
These sisters did not have any conditions or objections to the soldiers' requests, as long as someone took a fancy to them, they would choose to follow.
Things went very well, and the soldiers of the Eastern Crusade basically had their own families and servants.
In the future, they can train during the day or go into battle to kill the enemy, and go home at night to warm the bed, and all of them have the determination and enthusiasm to defend the Ming Dynasty to the death.
The soldiers all know that the current happy life is given by the emperor, and they are all exchanged for their lives and blood, and they are all lucky compared with those soldiers who died in battle.
This kind of stable and happy life is absolutely not allowed to be destroyed by anyone, and if anyone dares to violate the Ming Dynasty, they will immediately take up arms and defend it desperately.
Households
The Daming Household Department, Ni Yuanlu, the secretary of the Household Department, and a number of household officials are stepping up the statistics of this year's tax revenue.
The data that should have been counted a few days ago felt that there were some errors in the data, and they started to count it again.
The officials of the household department know very well that the data handed over to the saint must be accurate, otherwise the emperor's eyes will be widened, and someone may lose his official position and be dismissed.
"Lord Ni, it's really strange, the second time the data is out, how come it is still almost the same as the first time, and there is not much difference, what should I do?"
The household servant held the account book in his hand, and reported to Ni Yuanlu, the head of the household department, with a sad face, Ni Yuanlu looked at the officials under his command, and his face was also speechless.
If you recount it again, it will definitely be too late in time, it has been over for so many days, and the emperor is still asking two days ago, so it can't be delayed any longer.
He stretched out his hand to take the account book and read it carefully, and said helplessly:
"There should be no problem with such a small difference between the two data, but how can I report this amount to His Majesty? It's no wonder that the saint's temper doesn't slap me. ”
Seeing the anxious appearance of Ni Yuanlu, the head of the household, the waiter shook his head and persuaded:
"My lord, we really worked hard, but we really can't find out where this problem is, or just leave it to the saint, it's a big deal to go home and farm."
"Hey, that's the only way, I'm going to report to the emperor, many places are still waiting for silver, and I can't delay for a moment."
Ni Yuanlu, the head of the household department, went out in a sedan chair with the account book of the household department, and went directly to the Qianqing Palace, feeling extremely worried along the way.
He felt that this year's Spring Festival must be not good, and the emperor must be furious.
