156 To each his own gain
When he heard the news, Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting were discussing important military information. The three of them all had grim faces, put aside the matter at hand for the time being, looked at each other, could see each other's hidden worries, and immediately went to greet the angel.
If the imperial court still dealt with the last big victory in the past, it would be even worse for the current battle against Jianyu!
Angel is the head of the original household department, and at this time he is already a foreigner, because of the investigation and punishment of the former Wuqing Marquis and promoted to a level, from the sixth grade to the fifth grade. And the reason why he was sent to deliver the decree was obviously because he was one of the parties to this incident in Jingshi.
As soon as he saw the three scarlet-robed officials coming out, he immediately smiled and congratulated: "Lu Shangshu, Governor Hong, Governor Sun, congratulations, such a great victory, it is really exciting, the emperor is happy, congratulations!" ”
Hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but be a little surprised. Therefore, if the imperial court follows the past practice, it is likely that it will have to review the head, and then bargain with the commander to get a final confirmation of the victory. But this time, the smile on the angel's face was not fake at all, and the attitude was also very good, and it seemed to be a little different from what I thought in my impression.
In the last war, Lu Xiangsheng only made a strategy, mainly Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting led the war, so Hong and Sun listened to it and quickly replied: "It was the emperor who inspired the morale of our army and exerted extraordinary combat power, otherwise, there would be no such victory!" ”
After finishing speaking, Sun Chuanting hesitated for a while, but finally asked: "Our army's casualties are also relatively large, and the troops cannot be replenished in time, so we urgently need to regain morale." I don't know what the result of the imperial court's last report to the court? ”
"Hehe, Sun Zhongcheng, don't worry, don't worry!" When Qian Yuan Wailang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "You don't know that your report document has set off stormy waves in Beijing, which is really something that I have never done since the founding of the Ming Dynasty......
Speaking of this, he paused, looked at the faces of the three feudal officials with worried expressions, and then said with a smile: "The emperor has raised countless silver to relieve you of your worries. ”
Hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but be overjoyed, and almost at the same time, the three of them spoke in unison.
"This is really good, our army will definitely be able to recover its combat strength and fight a good battle with Jianyu again!" This is what Sun Chuanting said.
"The emperor is sage, the soldiers will definitely serve the dead!" This is what Hong Chengchou said.
And Lu Xiangsheng also said at the same time: "I don't know what kind of turbulent waves, the emperor should have been under a lot of pressure, right?" ”
The three of them spoke together, which made Qian Yuanwailang a little unsure how to speak. So, he smiled and said: "Come on, come on, have you arrived, take the holy decree first, if you have any questions, just ask the lower officials." ”
As soon as he heard this, Sun Chuanting immediately turned to the front account to check the generals who arrived.
In fact, when they heard that the angel had arrived, they didn't need to hurry, and the generals of all armies rushed over as soon as possible. After such a big victory, the court should have something to say, I don't know how many rewards they can get, and they are all very concerned about it in their hearts.
So, when the money clerk heard that everyone had arrived, he didn't delay any longer and began to announce the decree.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Qing and other intentions, the lives of the army, the battle against the captives, is really a rare victory for my Ming Dynasty, I am very comforted......"
When they heard this, these people who listened to the order, regardless of civil and military generals, couldn't help but rejoice in their hearts. recognized this great victory at the beginning, which shows their merits and the rewards of the soldiers.
Later, when they heard what was said in the holy decree, they were even more overjoyed when they reported their military exploits, and the imperial court did not mean to verify otherwise. In this way, it is more than 5,000 beheadings, although the reward for winning the first level is not as high as the night without receiving it, but this number is also very large!
“…… The disabled soldiers are disabled for me, and my heart hurts very much. If the person is disabled to the point that he can no longer fight, he will be treated as one level higher and transferred to another use; Soldiers who died in battle, those who have elderly parents and young children at home, and are raised by the imperial court ......"
Hearing this, everyone who received the order was very surprised. Although the casualty pension, in fact, Daming has always had regulations. However, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was already a dead letter. Not even the soldiers who died in battle, even the soldiers who are alive can't even be paid, and many of them have to sell their sons and daughters.
Therefore, the holy decree once again emphasized the compassionate beneficiature, and in addition to the accident, they were a little worried about whether the imperial court had the ability to do this thing, so they were not happy in vain.
After the decree was read, the joy of many generals was worn out a lot. They didn't hear the angel's words in the back account, but based on their own experience and their past impressions of the imperial court, they felt that the emperor was talking nonsense, and he had promised so many rewards and pensions, but this requires money, how can the court have money?
After receiving the order, Qian Yuanwailang said to them with a smile: "The three adults, as well as the generals, I believe you should have a lot of questions, you can ask them!" ”
Sun Chuanting had been waiting for a long time, and he was originally going to ask after receiving the holy decree. When he heard this, he immediately asked: "The angel just said that the Jingshi has set off a storm for this great victory, I don't know what happened?" ”
Those generals didn't know, and when they heard it, they were all taken aback, and they all looked at Qian Yuanwailang one by one, and listened curiously.
When Qian Yuan Wailang heard this, he said with a smile: "As soon as your report documents arrived in Beijing, many officials did not believe it and asked for the first level to be checked. The emperor believed in you, tried his best to overcome public opinion, reprimanded them very much, affirmed this great victory, and then raised silver for your great victory. But you should also know that there is no silver left in the treasury......"
Speaking of this, he paused deliberately and did not say anything in one breath. It's so surprising that no one could have imagined what would happen next. It's rare to have such an incident, and he has such an errand again, so he naturally wants to live an addiction that people look forward to.
Of course, because this is a good thing, it is nothing, if it is bad news, it is so appetizing, and you will be beaten when you turn around.
Sure enough, after he was a little like this, Maniac He couldn't help but immediately ask, "My lord, where did the silver come from?" ”
After speaking, he saw Sun Chuanting turn his head to look at him, and suddenly realized that there were all the adults here, how could he speak first. Suddenly, he lowered his head, but he was really curious, so he immediately raised his head and looked at the angel, and the expectation in his eyes was unmistakable.
Of course, not only him, but everyone was actually very much looking forward to hearing how the emperor raised the silver, but He was in a hurry and said it first.
There were three feudal officials here, and Qian Yuan Wailang didn't dare to arouse people's appetites, so he replied to He Madman's question: "Xue Shoufu, well, Xue Ge Lao has been promoted to Shoufu, and proposed to the emperor that the brother of the former Marquis of Wuqing is willing to donate his family wealth to the imperial court......"
Because he was one of the parties involved, he knew the situation more clearly than ordinary people at that time, and it can be said that he was very addicted to telling the story at this time.
This process is just like that, the plot is full of ups and downs, and there is a deeper conspiracy behind the matter, and in the end, it all involves the founding heroes who did a big rebellion case for money.
In the process he described, whether it was the military generals who naturally had fewer intrigues, or the feudal officials and military Chinese officers present, they were all very shocked.
These generals, hearing that the emperor had done so many things in order to affirm their merits and reward them with full rewards, and even attracted the rebellion of unscrupulous ministers. This sincerity to them has never been experienced before. All of a sudden, they were all too moved.
At the same time, they also felt very much admiration for the emperor's wisdom and cracking such a huge conspiracy with a snap of his fingers.
For the generals of the Qin army, they were originally full of good feelings towards the emperor because the emperor went out to Beijing to inspect them. Now when I heard that the emperor was really not talking about it, but took practical actions to treat them well, and he was so wise and powerful, all of a sudden, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, he regained his high fighting spirit.
They feel that the Holy Tomorrow is above, and if they make contributions, they will definitely not be buried in the future, and with the emperor here, they can rest assured that they are fighting the battlefield.
And Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting are different from these generals, and they have a deeper view of this matter.
They saw that Emperor Chongzhen was squeezing civil officials, knowing their shortcomings, and dividing them, so that this time, the only opponent they faced was the Xungui group. This kind of political maneuver has never been seen before.
There is also the emperor who reorganized the factory guard, so that the factory guard played a very important role in this incident. Especially the spy news, which is a bit miraculous, can let the emperor know the details of the opponent so that he can deal with it calmly.
For Lu, Hong, and Sun, the emperor they are looking forward to is not only hot-blooded, but also has a heart of Zhongxing Daming. What's more, they hope that the emperor will not be deceived by others, and can distinguish between loyal ministers and good generals, traitorous ministers and bad generals, and so on, and only in this way do they not have to worry about serving the country abroad, and someone in the court will release cold arrows. Of course, they naturally hope that the credit for their work can be recognized by the emperor.
And now, they saw the emperor they expected through the emperor's deal with the nobles and raising money for them this time. Therefore, although they look at problems and things from different angles and to different degrees, it does not prevent them from being equally excited and very happy after listening to them.
However, the three of them were a little more careful, and they also felt a suspicion from it, that is, it was rumored that the emperor was going to borrow money from Xungui, and I don't know why it was so convincing that Cheng Guogong and others believed it, so as to make such a shocking case?
Regarding this point, Emperor Chongzhen actually did not announce the information provided by Yang Sichang, nor did he write this matter into the confession. Because he didn't want to uncover this matter until the war against the captives in the Kannai was over. Otherwise, it will definitely involve Xue Guoguan's proposal, that is, the emperor is responsible for borrowing money from the emperor's relatives and nobles, and the cabinet is borrowing money from civil and military officials.
Think about it, it is so difficult to just let each province bring a refugee back, and just have one more mouth to eat. That's it, or through division, the resolution was passed by accepting refugees at the level of five-rank officials and above.
Once Xue Guoguan's proposal is really made public, the pressure will be unprecedentedly great. The opponents to face are not only the Xungui group, but also the civil and military officials. At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was not ready to fight in the ring with so many opponents, but it would not cause a big problem.
In the original history, both Xue Guoguan and Emperor Chongzhen did not recognize this, and felt that it was not a difficult thing to borrow some money from the courtiers with the authority of the emperor, which led to the death of Xue Guoguan, the court situation was even more erosive, and the monarch and ministers were even more alienated.
It can be said that Emperor Chongzhen finally became a lonely monarch and shouted out the words of the ministers, among them, he himself could not escape responsibility.
Therefore, the current Emperor Chongzhen is not ready to move Yang Sichang at this time, and he can't escape from his Wuzhi Mountain anyway. The emperor faced a few courtiers, it was crushing, and it would not be too difficult.
At this time, after Qian Yuanwailang clearly explained what happened in Jingshi, everyone in the Chinese military tent felt extremely excited.
Think about it, just from the Wuqing Marquis Mansion and the Jiading Bo Mansion, 700,000 taels of silver have been obtained, not to mention the Chengguo Mansion and the Linhuai Marquis Mansion that have more silver. The emperor also said that no matter how big the battle is, they don't have to worry about the court not having a reward.
Such a good thing, of course, will not be hidden. Soon, the news spread throughout the army.
Suddenly, the defenders at the head of Jinju City, looking at the camp of the Qinwang army outside the city, suddenly erupted in a chant of "Long live, long live, long live, long live", the emotion was passionate and excited, although they couldn't see it, they could feel it.
They were still feeling lifeless before, but suddenly there was such a big change, which made them very curious, what the hell is going on? How do you feel that the Qinwang army outside the city has won another big victory!
In the tent of the Chinese army, after such an episode, a very good episode, the three commanders of the unified army started the previous meeting again and urgently discussed the military information they had just obtained.
Just before, they got the Dolgon and Hauge headquarters that went south, and they had plundered the population and materials and returned to the north, and abandoned the old and weak along the way, and the marching speed suddenly accelerated, throwing off the Yongwei battalion behind, and it was estimated that it was a foregone conclusion to join Du Du and Yue Tuo's department.
How should we fight this next war against the captives?
