Along with the knife came Chongzhen's secret letter to the little eunuch, even if the secret letter was not dared to look at it like the onlookers watching the treasure knife, seeing Chang Yu open the letter, the rest of the people turned around and pretended to appreciate the knife.

The letter is short.

Qing does not live up to me, I am very happy, I am very happy, I am very happy, the military salary is 200,000 taels, the proposal of the pillar country, I am approved, the cabinet is still controversial, I must not bear me, I will never fail you!

I heard that you love knives, and this knife gives you the ability to slay demons and eliminate demons!

The important thing was said three times, it seems that Chongzhen is indeed overjoyed, and it is really as Chang Yu expected, asking for money!

Wu Sangui pretended to be admiring the knife, pretending to inadvertently sneak a glimpse of a smile on the little eunuch's face, and he was relieved in his heart, it seemed that it should be good news.

"General Wu, do you know what the emperor means by rewarding this knife?" Chang Yu turned his head to look at him and asked.

"Congratulations, Lord Overseer, this should be the upper sword given by the emperor, oh no, it's the upper sword!"

Wu Sangui is so old-fashioned.

Chang Yu smiled and shrugged: "I don't know, I just said that let Bendu kill demons, where did this demon come from in the mortal world" Saying that, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Wu Zhong, who was still holding a knife and still relishing: "There are some guys who pretend to be ghosts, and it is easy to cut down."

Master Wu almost threw away the treasure knife in his hand, and everyone couldn't help laughing.

Wu Sangui didn't expect that Chongzhen actually brought him a letter, you must know that according to the process, even if Wu Sangui is the first to make the first merit and the emperor is rewarded, it will also have to go through a set of very cumbersome procedures, such as sending a few eunuchs to support the pomp and circumstance, write a serious decree, and also get a few decent treasures in the palace like jade Ruyi as rewards...... Then what is written on the decree is the hard currency.

It is clear that this letter is just a letter of condolence for hitchhiking.

Judging from the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is the ultimate for a military general to be a general soldier, and no matter how rewarded, it is just a false title, such as Qi Jiguang's Shaobao.

But the ancients cared about this, and if they really made a little bit of a sage like Qi Jiguang, it was also a matter of glorifying the lintel, not to mention that with Wu Sangui's old way, the Ming Court was in turmoil at this time, and the time to employ people was also to win people's hearts and stabilize the morale of the army.

So when he saw a few words on Chongzhen's letter to him, if he retired from the Qing army, I would be rewarded!

Wu Sangui's heart immediately moved.

"Emperor Wu Zongbing, but he wants to give you a promotion and a knight?" Chang Yu saw that his face was secretly happy, so he asked out loud.

Wu Sangui smiled: "That is also a matter of the retreat of the Qing army, now is not the time to celebrate" He also knew in his heart that only with the great victory the day before yesterday, I am afraid that he would not be able to eat Chongzhen's so-called big reward, after all, that battle was not his full merit, he contributed, the little eunuch contributed wisdom, and the two were tied.

Chang Yu's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the few words in the letter in Wu Sangui's hand, he suddenly smiled slightly: "Does Mr. Wu know how the emperor will reward you?" ”

Wu Sangui shook his head.

The little eunuch showed the secret letter in his hand to Wu Sangui's eyes: "This governor can guess some of it."

This is a secret letter, others don't dare to look at it, they all turn their heads, Wu Sangui is also shocked in his heart, but he thinks that since the little eunuchs are like this, he is not hypocritical.

At a glance, his expression slowly changed, and the word 'Zhuguo' in the letter was very eye-catching, too damn tempting.

"Governor, could it be, then, no, it can't be true, right?"

Zhuguo, the ancient official name of the Warring States Period, was used to reward the generals who had meritorious service in killing the enemy, and it was the most military attaché, above the prime minister, and was abolished after the Warring States period.

At this time, the world is in turmoil, people's hearts are uncertain, the little eunuch timely proposed to restore the official position of the pillar country to motivate and win over those wavering military generals, affected by the little eunuch and deeply feel that the heavy literature and light military mistaken Chongzhen actually hit it off with him, the court civil officials are too prosperous, the status is high, and the balance is lost early, and now the restoration of the old system of the pillar country can contain this group of civil ministers, so as to balance the civil and military, and can pull the military generals to stabilize the military heart, which is in line with his emperor's imperial art.

It's just that when he reported this to the cabinet, it was unexpectedly backlashed, the only thing that is fortunate is that now the first assistant Li Banghua is indeed a person who wants to help Chongzhen do practical things, and has a certain understanding of the emperor's heart, and knows Chongzhen's intentions, this is to win over those military generals to take care of the gate and the courtyard for him, if Li Banghua is naturally strongly opposed in the era of Guotai and Min'an in peacetime, but now the people are panicking, the military generals are particularly important, and if he does not win over, there is a possibility of dying at any time, so he can only reluctantly nod.

He is the boss of the cabinet, he nodded, although there are other objections, but there is no need to worry, it is only a matter of time before he finally has to accept it after a few futile struggles.

"This governor proposes that the Ming Dynasty re-establish the Eight Pillars Kingdom, in charge of the country's soldiers and horses, above the first assistant, second only to the prince, whether Wu Zongbing can become one of the Eight Pillars of the Kingdom, it depends on how you play the big sword in Ningyuan." Chang Yu looked serious

Wu Sangui's heart is a huge wave, whether it is a civil minister or a military general, in the end, it is not to be glorious, rich, famous, and famous, the respect of the pillar country, almost comparable to those founding heroes, if he really fights for a seat, the Wu family will be honored from generation to generation, and he has become the most shining person of the Wu family and admired by generations of descendants.

It's exciting to think about it, what is the Great Qing Kingdom, what Dolgon, Lao Tzu surrendered, just like the King of Sanshun was crowned on the throne? Insulting the ancestors was scolded by the world, the emperor Taiji loved talents, and was bent on recruiting his uncle and ancestor to live a long life, but he and Hong Chengchou, the two famous figures of the Ming Dynasty, went over there, and were completely excluded everywhere, Lao Tzu was a legitimate pillar country in the Ming Dynasty, not only did he not humiliate the ancestors, but also glorified the ancestors, erected a monument and built a workshop, how beautiful the scenery was, why go there to be a slave.

Although Wu Sangui was excited, he still retained a trace of rationality, the little eunuch was a master of painting cakes, and Chongzhen was not reckless, so he said to the lord: "This matter should not have been determined, the emperor didn't say that the cabinet is still controversial......"

Chang Yu sneered: "Since there is still a controversy, it means that someone has agreed to add the emperor's thigh, Wu Zongbing thinks that whose arm can be wrenched, this governor dares to guarantee that the dust will fall in this matter for a month at most, and dare to say that because of the battle of Taiyuan, Zhou Yuji must be one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms, and this governor will protect him!" ”

"Please also ask the Lord Overseer to bring more" Wu Sangui and Tang Tong hurriedly saluted Chang Yu, and the fool could also hear the voice of the little eunuch, Zhu Guo was proposed by him, and Zhou Yuji was the one he tried to protect because he joined forces with him in Taiyuan to break the enemy...... This means clear enough.

The position of the pillar country, for the generals are all unmoved, even Tang Tong knows that his qualifications are not enough, and his eyes are unabashedly revealing twelve points of desire, Chang Yu can't see through it, and lightly clicked: The reward for meritorious deeds makes Tang Tong's whole body full of fighting spirit and strength.

"Silver, we have it, there are enough soldiers, there is enough food and grass, and morale is also at the peak" Chang Yu sighed and stretched out his hand to his chest: "We also have the ambition to fight the male and female, if we are defeated, General Wu and Tang, what do you say?" ”。

Wu Sangui smiled bitterly: "That can only mean that we are waste...... No, no, the note would be a waste one! ”

"Lord Overseer joined forces with Zhou Yuji in Taiyuan to break hundreds of thousands of thieves, and Ning Yuanjun and the border army of Jizhen are not vegetarians, can't we break those Tartar soldiers when we join forces, are they three-headed and six-armed!" Tang Tong roared uncharacteristically.

"Fuck it, there's no soldier that my Ming man can't break!" Chang Yu sneered and roared.

Everyone shouted, fuck it!
