Chapter Eighty-Five: The Enemy in Tianjin (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
Because Emperor Chongzhen arranged two sixteen-year-old beauties for Prince Zhu, he delayed the matter of the prince giving a lecture to the soldiers in Tianjin.
After all, there is always a bit of red tape to deal with when the prince and the princess meet, Chongzhen's sister-in-law, Queen Yi'an Zhang, and these two little girls have gotten along for some time, and they also have feelings, and they have to take care of them. also called Zhu Cihong over to speak, and taught Prince Zhu a lesson by the way - the old aunt did not dare to mention the change of the Huangji Gate. mentioned that it is a harem to do politics, and it is a hornet's nest, what if you come back and die of food poisoning?
However, Zhu Cihong's "robbery" of Wu Sanmei can be used to train people. The old aunt also had a broken mouth, and the training was a long time, and she also called Wu Sanmei to listen to the training - of course, it was Zhu Cihong who was trained, and she directly deducted a lustful and shapeless hat, and said that Prince Zhu ruined the innocence of other good girls' families! This thing really can't be washed away by jumping into the Tianjin Weihe! In fact, after Zhu Cihong snatched Wu Sanmei, he was so busy flying, how could he have the effort to speak? Now Wu Sanmei is still innocent!
After the training, Empress Yi'an Zhang also offered to give Wu Sanmei the master, not letting her be a palace maid, she was too wronged by other girls' families. Of course, Concubine Ning can't be given to Wu Sanmei, Concubine Ning is a concubine selected layer by layer, and she can't be replaced casually. But a prince still has to give it...... This matter is up to Queen Zhang! Wu Sanmei is grateful for herself.
On the side, the dignified and beautiful little beauty Ning is also smiling - her status as a concubine is stable!
There is also a Fei Zhen'e, who is also a rare beauty, and in terms of appearance, she is even more outstanding than Ning's. She was also one of the candidates for the crown princess, but at the last moment, she lost the main concubine because she was too beautiful, and only the crown princess was selected. Originally, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty chose to choose three concubines, that is, there could be one and two pairs, and three people were selected. But Chongzhen was afraid that his son would be obsessed with women, so he subtracted two and only left Zhu Cihong with a Ning family. So Fei Zhen'e just beat chickens and eggs, and didn't catch anything. But she was not repatriated, but took a fancy to Queen Zhang and stayed by her side as a palace daughter.
I didn't expect to get out of it now, and I was sent to Zhu Cihong's side again. Although she is only a palace maid, there are no women around the prince, and the opportunity to ascend to the throne is not very large? Now, of course, I am snickering in my heart......
It seems that this Empress Yi'an Zhang is only serious and rigid on the surface, and she is also quite good at being a person on the inside! It's nominally a training thing, but in fact it's a joy for all!
Just when Empress Yi'an Zhang was wordy, Jin Bin and Lou Guangxian, the two deputy commanders of Tianjin Town Guard, were not idle, and they had already transferred their 3,000 elite soldiers out of the west gate of the Tianjin Acropolis, and on the west bank of the moat, on both sides of the avenue into the city.
When Emperor Chongzhen's car passed through them, the 3,000 elite soldiers still knelt on one knee in unison, and the mountain shouted long live. can make Emperor Chongzhen have another addiction to the world!
Cao Youyi's 1,500 soldiers and Cao Huachun also selected 1,500 people from their own bravery to escort Emperor Chongzhen into the Tianjin Acropolis.
Zhu Cihong, who watched his father and mother enter the city, slowly moved his gaze to the 3,000 Tianjin soldiers who were in front of him, and his brows were twisted.
What kind of elite soldiers, most of them are yellow and thin, as if they have nothing to eat! Cao Youyi's Tianjin garrison army was similar to them...... It seems that Cao Youyi, Jin Bin, and Lou Guangxian have all drunk the blood of soldiers! However, the hard days of this group of "thin soldiers" have come to an end, and they have followed themselves, keeping food and drink!
Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong used all his strength and shouted: "Come on, bring the silver out of the palace!" ”
Jin Bin and Lou Guangxian stood not too far from Zhu Cihong at this time, less than twenty steps. They all squinted their eyes and looked at this prince with a helmet and armor and a tall horse - how could this prince's outfit be different from what they thought?
Shouldn't the Prince of Daming be hollowed out of his body by being unscrupulous? How to wear a long body of armor, a phoenix-winged helmet, and a big horse. Doesn't look like it's easy to catch! He's on a horse, and we only have two legs here, can we hold it?
Also, why were so many chests of silver being brought out? A total of 3,000 people will be rewarded, and one person will give one tael of silver for three thousand taels. It's all one, two, three, four...... Twenty boxes, look at the size of the box, one box should have 1,500 taels, 20 boxes is 30,000 taels!
Ten taels for one person?
How could it be so many? How can there be such a tip? The two of them were ready to rebel with their subordinates, but they only gave a reward of 3,000 taels. How could the prince make a move of 30,000 taels?
Could it be that he also wants to bribe the hearts of the army to create a rebellion against the emperor?
When the two deputy commanders were pondering, twenty large boxes had been opened one by one, and they were shining with silver!
It's really silver! Twenty chests full of silver!
Jin Bin and Lou Guangxian were stunned, is the prince crazy or is he the opposite? How can there be such a distribution of silver?
"Brothers! Here are 30,000 taels of silver, all for you! Regardless of officers and soldiers, one person will put ten taels! Zhu Cihong opened his throat and shouted.
There were also a few loud voices selected from among the Han generals around him, and when he said a word, those loud voices repeated a sentence, and the three thousand people present heard it.
Ten taels of silver per person...... What a give! Where is this prince, it's the father of the big guy!
Zhu Cihong then said: "Led by the general of each flag, one by one come up to get the silver, just take it in front of the palace!" Officers above the flag general will be rewarded by the palace in person!
Each person will be rewarded with ten taels, which is for you to settle in...... When the escort arrives in Jiangnan, one person will give ten taels, and another fifty acres of paddy fields! Later, I will give you the name of the throne and issue the decree of the palace to reward you with land! When you arrive in Jiangnan, you are the heroes of the palace and the Ming Dynasty! Called the hero of overcoming difficulties! ”
What the? What the? When you arrive in Jiangnan, you will be given 10 taels of silver, and you will also be given 50 acres of paddy fields...... Really? 50 acres of paddy fields are worth at least 500 taels of silver!
Jin Bin and Lou Guangxian were already stunned! Zhu Cihong's reward was completely beyond their expectations. The military salary of the soldiers in Tianjin was very low, and the monthly salary of a soldier was only a few cents of silver, and he was often in arrears. 500 taels of silver may not be available for 100 years! Now as long as you follow Zhu Cihong to Jiangnan, you will have it immediately. And it's still taking paddy fields...... The rent of paddy fields is high, and one acre can have one or two silver a year. 50 acres is 50 taels, which is almost five or six years of military salary!
Zhu Cihong waved his hand and roared: "Reward!" ”
As soon as his words fell, without waiting for Jin Bin and Lou Guang to give the order first, the flag generals below led the team to get the silver on their own...... If you have money and land, why do you need a deputy commander-in-chief? And these two deputy commanders are not good birds, they know how to deduct everyone on weekdays, and they are very bad!
Seeing that his subordinates were all going to get the silver, Jin Bin and Lou Guang knew something bad first.
They had already told the officers of the flag chief and above about the rebellion! As long as one person betrays them, they will have to pay for their two old lives...... As for rebelling with his men, that is not to be thought of at all. Don't they know that their men are all ruffians who love money and don't care about loyalty?
Whoever has the money is their father! Now Prince Zhu is their father! No, it's closer than my own father!
The two looked at each other and ran away! Don't you run away and wait for someone to betray you? These two deputy commanders were also decisive enough, made up their minds, and immediately took their most confidant soldiers, turned around and ran to the west gate of Tianjin Wei.
When they ran away, Zhu Cihong was preaching the most simple truth in the world there, shouting loudly: "Follow the palace to Jiangnan, there will be silver, there will be land, and there will be a lady......"
Halfway through speaking, he saw Jin Bin and Lou Guangxian running towards the city gate with a group of personal soldiers, and he was stunned.
What is this for? Hair silver, it's not a board, what are you running? Is it hot to think silver?
At this moment, a general manager under Jin Bin suddenly rushed to Zhu Cihong's horse, knelt down with a puff, and then reported loudly: "Prince Yu, Jin Bin, Lou Guangxian, Yang Weihan and Yuan Yuzong are all reversed, they are chaotic ministers and thieves!" Hundreds of rogue cavalry have been welcomed into the Tianjin Acropolis, and an ambush has been set up to be unfavorable to Your Majesty and Your Highness! ”
