"Factory father, there is no such thing!" The chief hurriedly defended to Cao Huachun, "The family next door is actually the remnant of the king thief, and now that he sees his subordinates on errands, he naturally refuses to admit it, and he hopes that the factory will be clear!" ”

When Jiang Dong heard this, and when he wanted to speak, Cao Huachun was already angry, stared at them coldly, and shouted sharply: "Enough, Ma Dayong's matter, isn't it enough?" Those officials of the Imperial Court and others are all staring at Dongchang! I didn't expect you to make trouble yourself, don't you take our family seriously, right? ”

He was furious, and immediately shocked all the fans, kneeling on the ground one by one, not daring to raise his head.

"Lu Yongfu?"

"The subordinates are here!" A military commander behind Cao Huachun immediately came out when he heard the sound, and waited with his hands in fists.

Cao Huachun shouted with a cold face: "Take them all and lock them up, and wait for our family to go back and deal with them!" ”

"Yes!" When Lu Yongfu heard this, he immediately received the order, and with a wave of his hand, a group of soldiers rushed forward and took Jiang Dong and the chief of the army away.

"Gu Xinran?"

"The subordinates are here!" Another captain was on standby.

Cao Huachun stared at him and shouted coldly: "You are in charge of the raid here, and there must be no more accidents." As soon as there is a result, it will be reported to our family immediately. Before sunset today, our family must tell the emperor the results. Dare to delay, only you ask! ”

"Yes!"

After Cao Huachun ordered these things, he didn't check anything, and immediately turned around and left.

He had just been beaten by Emperor Chongzhen, and he was taking revenge on those eunuchs who were also in power, so he naturally didn't dare to have the idea of reaching out at this time. However, even if he thought in his heart that Jiang Dong was probably telling the truth, he didn't check it on the spot. Otherwise, if it is found out that all the old men who have been raided here have secretly hidden their belongings, will they be dealt with or not?

Therefore, he can only press the matter first and wait to look back at the situation before dealing with it. As for what is just or not, that is not in his consideration at all. What is best for him is what he has to consider.

Of course, he wouldn't know that his conversations here had already been transmitted to Emperor Chongzhen through eavesdropping seeds.

However, at this time, Emperor Chongzhen did not pay attention to Cao Huachun's eavesdropping seed, but was watching the news from Wang Chengen's side.

Although Lu Xiangsheng was injured, he could continue to lead the troops, that is, the injury was not a big problem, and Emperor Chongzhen was pleased with this. However, the subsequent matter of Lu Xiangsheng's statistics on the army made Emperor Chongzhen frown.

Lu Xiangsheng bandaged his wounds and had a meal, and without waiting for the statistics of the army, he began to go out to inspect by himself. Wang Chengen naturally accompanied him, so that Emperor Chongzhen had the opportunity to understand comprehensively.

The affairs of the army are far more complicated than he imagined. It's not that after Lu Xiangsheng becomes the leader, everything will change.

First of all, after the battle of Julu is over, there are a lot of things to do.

Of the 5,000 cavalry troops under Lu Xiangsheng's command, there were basically only about 2,000 left, and many of them were wounded. As for the war horses, there are only thirty-six left to use! Most of the war horses have already been eaten. After this battle, these surviving people have no combat power, they must rest, and they will not be able to recover in a short time.

If this army hadn't been surrounded in Jiazhuang, it is estimated that with such a high casualty rate, even if it was led by Lu Xiangsheng, it would have collapsed long ago. This is also the reason why the siege battle must be several times the number of troops, which cannot be compared with field battles.

Gao Qi Qian's department, 3,000 Tianxiong army, about 1,000 dead and wounded, and most of the soldiers are related to relatives, so almost everyone wears filial piety. During the war, he fought to the death for his relatives and was fearless, but after the war, the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army who lost their relatives could not cheer up without external pressure.

As for the other departments, there were many casualties among the ordinary soldiers, but the families of the generals were basically still there. But the will to fight of these people is a problem, and they can't be compared with the Tianxiong Army at all.

In addition, there is a very important issue, which is the compensation for many soldiers who died in battle.

But now, even the living soldiers can't get any military salaries, and who can take care of those who are dead? This is still good, after all, people are dead, and the matter of bereavement is delayed, and not many people have opinions. But what about the wounded soldiers? They endured pain, especially those who were disabled, and hoped for a pension, but did the court have the money?

At this time, the generals of all armies reported it anyway, regardless of whether the dead or wounded were family members or ordinary soldiers, and they all complained to Lu Xiangsheng and asked Lu Xiangsheng to solve this matter. On the contrary, the director Gao Qiqian, at this time, there was no such pressure, and he was a little gloating in his heart to see how Lu Xiangsheng dealt with this matter.

Others may not know that Lu Xiangsheng is a person who has led troops for many years, so he naturally knows the importance of this matter. If the casualties cannot be effectively appeased, what will the other living soldiers think? Who will fight the enemy? No matter how strong Lu Xiangsheng's ability is, if he doesn't solve this matter, he can't take them to fight the Manchu army!

In fact, this is the commonality of the Ming army. Without military salaries, no bounties, no pensions, who is going to fight a strong enemy? What is righteousness? It's just a joke!

On the Manchu side, they were able to boost morale through plunder, and it was also because of this that many Ming troops were brave and invincible when they turned around and invaded the Ming Dynasty after defecting to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the reason was actually here.

Lu Xiangsheng was also helpless about this, so he ordered Quartermaster Yang Tinglin to count the property in the army, and the results can be imagined, including the income from cleaning the battlefield, and there is no property at all on the corpses of the two Tartars. In order to rescue Lu Xiangsheng before, he also took out the money in his own pocket. But this time, he won't be able to shell out his own money again.

Lu Xiangsheng had no choice, he couldn't rely on the army to loot the people to boost morale. Therefore, although he heard a report from Ye Bu that the Manchu army was heading north, the army could not fight hard, so he could only lead the army to follow the Manchu army from a distance, but he could not put any pressure on the Manchu army.

While sending a messenger to the Kyoshi, he figured out his own way. After Lu Xiangsheng accepted the right to command the army, he was even more tired. For the time being, he can't do anything else, so he can only share the weal and woe with the officers and soldiers in the army with his injuries.

For these situations, Emperor Chongzhen learned about them as soon as possible, which can be regarded as a lesson for him. Knowing what aspects to pay attention to when leading the army to fight in the future, although he has a wide range of knowledge because he comes from later generations, he only has a deep understanding when he really encounters these things.

At this moment, he remembered the little money he had just in his hand, and it seemed that he had to spend it immediately. Wang Chengen handed over 40,000 taels of silver, and Dongchang, including Cao Huachun, handed over 98,778 taels and 6 cents, which was about 140,000 taels. I wonder how much silver there will be on the Wang's heart? Is it enough for Lu Xiangsheng to compensate the disabled soldiers and the cost of reorganizing the army?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. On the side of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, he also has to leave some money to improve morale, and he can't give it all to Lu Xiangsheng.

It's also a loss that I'm already raising money on my side, and I can still respond to emergencies! If he were replaced by the original Emperor Chongzhen, I don't know if he would be embarrassed to death by money?
