Chapter 299: The Elites Who Spend Money Like Water

That's it.

Yang Xin's main concern is actually the safety of the Apocalypse, after all, the death of the little emperor in history can be said to be unexplained......

Falling into the water can still be swollen all over the body and die.

This is also a bit too exaggerated, although it can't be said that he was killed by outsiders, but many things that happened in the Apocalypse Dynasty are a little weird after all, including his son who was scared to death in the Apocalypse explosion, what can a child under the age of one know about it, and the explosion five kilometers away will be scared to cry at most, and it is a little inexplicable to die of fright.

In short, this must be done carefully.

"Yang Dudu."

Her Royal Highness the Empress saluted Yang Xin who came out.

This is what the Apocalypse has given her, and Yang Xin must be treated with the same attitude as her brother.

Yang Xin hurriedly returned the salute.

In other words, this is also something that needs to be taken care of in the future.

The struggle between her and the Hakka clan is aside, but she must leave a descendant for the Apocalypse, but it is too early to talk about this, her son has been in the Apocalypse for three years.

Yang Xin walked out of the palace in the snowstorm with emotion.

That's the matter in the capital, the rest of the assessment of those lifters does not need him, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Sheng Yihong has a sense of proportion, what is the difficulty of the assessment set for the lifters, this Shaanxi Tongguan Wei Shangshu will arrange it himself. How to arrange the assessment is also very simple, riding archery is nothing more than bringing it to the school field of martial arts, riding a horse and shooting arrows one by one, and the arithmetic assessment is directly in the Gongyuan and the same as the examination, which is regarded as an adaptive training before they participate in the examination.

In short, this is not about Yang Xin.

He left the capital with Huang Ying and others the next day to go to his own territory.

And by this time, the wild boar skin had also captured Seoul.

Under the instruction of Yang Xin, Mao Wenlong sat on Phi Island throughout the war.

Although Jiannu carried out a tentative attack on Phi Dao, it was repelled by Mao Wenlong, who had never lacked supplies because of Yang Xin's big thick legs, and now has 15,000 soldiers, in addition to more than 20,000 old and weak women and children, and has established many camps on Phi Dao and several surrounding islands. The wild boar skin that recaptured Zhenjiang in the counterattack only harvested a piece of uninhabited land, although Jiannu went south and even took Xiuyan down, but after all, it had to stop in the area of Shicheng Island, and then Shen Yourong was also waiting in Jinzhou.

The boar skins were only able to leave part of their forces to warn them.

And he personally led the army straight to Seoul like a bamboo, Pyongyang's Korean army chose to surrender, Li Hui begged for mercy to no avail, and had to piece together an army to meet in Kaesong, but his army was not Li Rusong's family, Jiannu was not a Japanese robber, and the 30,000 Korean army was wiped out in one battle......

The main thing is that it collapsed.

In short, the army of Jiannu went straight to Seoul.

The walls of the city obviously could not stop Jiannu, and Li Hui fled to Jianghua Island in a hurry.

Then he sent a messenger to Ganghwa Island and crossed the sea to Dengju to ask for help.

Of course, Da Ming will definitely not save him.

In fact, Da Ming has no ability to save him, including the current useless dispatch of troops from Liaodong.

The core of the Ming army in Liaodong is the Sichuan and Zhejiang army, but this army is almost frozen in winter, let them attack Hetuara at more than ten or twenty degrees below zero, I am afraid that they will be abandoned if they can't go there, it's not good to say in winter, but they can't really be counted on in winter. The most suitable for this season is left, that is, Zhao Shujiao, but the premise is that Yehebu and the Mongols act together, and the 15,000 or so people of Zhao Shujiao have never fought alone, and they are useless without the union of these two families.

But who cares if the North Koreans live or die?

These guys, who have just received a large reward and then purchased a bunch of supplies to go back, are roasting and drinking wine and eating meat at this time, and let them send troops to North Korea in the ice and snow?

Just kidding, Li Hui took the meat as a payment?

Besides, they still have to be wary of Lin Dan Khan, the king of Hue of the Ming Dynasty has returned to Chahanhot, and it is said that he is in a very unhappy mood, and has been contacting Shuosai in Mobei and Oba in the Horqin tribe to reaffirm his position to them, and explain that it is just a deception to call the Ming a tribute. It is even said that he was still contacting the boar skin through Oba in an attempt to establish a coalition that echoed the same thing, including marrying a woman from the wild boar skin family, and in short, the king of Hue was still ambitious and ready to make a comeback.

The main thing is to be forced.

Although he received a salary of 1,000 taels, he lost too many cattle and horses.

The Chahar Department is facing a famine, and Oba has just been violently beaten by the Mingmeng Yehe coalition army, and has lost a lot of livestock, and is also facing famine, Shuosai in Mobei has always been very ambitious, after Lin Dan Khan lowered his profile, the three of them are likely to form an alliance to grab grain and livestock from the fried flowers and other departments in this famine winter.

So Zhao Shujiao really didn't dare to move.

At present, the only ones left in the hands of Liaodong Jingxiao Gaodi are Cao Wenzhao and He Shixian, but they can only fight 10,000 together.

Into the mountains and forests this season?

That's pure.

Although the total strength of the Ming army in Liaodong has reached 200,000, there are only 40,000 people who can actually fight with Jiannu, and nearly half of them have frozen, and the rest can only be said to be barely okay with defending the city, but Gao Di is also imitating Xiong Tingbi and training a cavalry elite similar to Cao Wenzhao's department alone. In charge of the command was Zu Dashou, who had performed prominently in the Battle of Yizhou, had really shown his strength, and was appreciated by Gao Di, who became Gao Di's most relied on cronies in Liaodong, just like Cao Wenzhao was trusted by Xiong Tingbi.

In addition, there is Wang Zaijin of Shanhaiguan, who is also training another elite cavalry with Man Gui as the commander.

These are all things that can really fight against Jiannu.

In the final analysis, the Ming army also grew up in the war, and these really capable of fighting were emerging, but the original history was just too fast to fail, and the few elites on the battlefield in Liaodong were quickly consumed, and the rest was completely filled with batches of cannon fodder. But now that the wild boar skin has suffered setbacks one after another, it has turned its strategic goal to North Korea, and as long as these civilian officials in charge of the military in Liaodong are not stupid, they all understand that this army can no longer be like in the past, and must think of ways to improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

Anyway, Yang Ho is still in prison!

Even if it is only a limited promotion, it must be allowed for the Ming army to withstand the construction of serfs.

So at the current rate, it is estimated that these two elites will also be able to grow by the end of next year, and at that time, Sun Yuanhua's new army will be completed, and the elite of the Ming army that can be used for field battles will exceed Jiannu for the first time, and if they are put together, they can almost have a decisive battle.

But the only problem is......

They're all very good at spending money!

Xiong Tingbi originally smashed 500,000 taels a year for Cao Wenzhao's 5,000 elite cavalry.

The military salary is double, thirty and six taels a Chinese New Year's Eve, and this is a simple military salary, other calculations, the meal is meat, open to eat, never lack of food, armor and weapons are the best quality, horses are also the best, and finally build these five thousand elites.

And Cao Wenzhao still doesn't eat empty salaries.

But it is impossible to expect Zu Dashou not to eat empty salary.

So this elite army with a total of 20,000 people, in fact, 10,000, has smashed into 500,000 in just a few months, and it is estimated that it will cost 1 million a year, Wang Zaijin is about the same, and Man Gui is also empty salary, and his 20,000 army is actually 15,000. This is already very conscientious compared to the original history of Wu Xiang's 80,000 on paper and 30,000 actually 30,000, in the final analysis, the Ming army is such a system, if you want the generals not to eat empty salaries, you must give them other ways to make money, so that you can't look down on that empty salary.

For example, Zhao Shujiao does not eat empty salaries.

But last year, their Zhao family earned at least 100,000 yuan.

colluded with Chen Yujie and Yang Xin, resold military supplies, smuggled, and even dared to sell firearms, with these supports, of course he didn't have to eat empty salaries.

Sun Yuanhua's new army does not eat empty salaries, but the training cost of this new army is extremely high, and the training of the all-firearms army is just throwing silver, and the new army of 20,000 people has already smashed into 700,000 in more than a year now. As for how many of these 700,000 were transferred to their own money bags by Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua, these Songjiang departments were transferred to their own money bags through various means, anyway, the prices of those weapons bought from Guangzhou were exaggerated, and the sulfur imports of the Ministry of Industry were also controlled by them.

In the end, they are the same as those who eat empty salaries, but the means are more subtle.

And the cost of the Sichuan and Zhejiang armies is not low.

Their advantage is that the infantry does not need to raise horses, and only the Zhejiang army is a firearm, and the Sichuan army has few firearms, but the problem is that their rewards are high, and the white pole soldiers do not eat empty salaries, but if they do not eat empty salaries, they have to give the generals the income of not eating empty salaries, this army is the private army of Shizhu Tusi, Qin Liangyu feeds it, then the court can't treat her badly, last year, the apocalypse rewarded Qin Liangyu with a one-time reward of 50,000 taels.

Moreover, Qi Jin's Zhejiang army is also expanding, his Zhejiang army has expanded to 5,000, and his proportion of firearms is second only to the new army.

The elites are easy to use.

But the elite wants silver, and they want a huge amount of silver.

In comparison, it is Zhao who leads the Ministry of Education to be the cutest, at least for the imperial court, this elite is the least expensive for the imperial court, so although they are complaining because of the trade in Liaodong, and the secrets of the silver mine in Yehebu are also known to everyone, and countless people are salivating. But even if there is no Xiong Tingbi, replacing Gao Di will still let them go, although not daring to offend Yang Xin is the main reason, but whether it is Gao Di or Sun Chengzong, they all know very well that Liaodong is the most worry-free army at present.

At least they're not making money from the court!

And that's just sustaining.

To actually fight a war would be to throw money at all.

The last time Xiong Tingbi went on an expedition, the Apocalypse Guang sent him 500,000 yuan.

If you send troops to North Korea in such weather, if you don't drop a million, you can cheer up the armies in Liaodong?

Just kidding, who wants to go out at minus ten or twenty degrees, and Li Hui, who was originally a guy with two or five boys, is obviously not worth paying one million for the apocalypse, since the apocalypse is in charge of Li Hui's life or death, he will stick to it if he is willing to stick to Jianghua Island, and if he is not willing to hold on, he will surrender to Jiannu.

Anyway, if he dared to surrender to Jiannu, he betrayed the Ming Dynasty.

Then the Ming will crusade against him.
