Chongzhen in the court, sharpening the knife Huo Huo to the pigs and sheep, first received the fief of the vassal king, and then copied the home of the Donglin boss, this toss, not only got a large amount of arable land to establish the imperial village, but also copied out a lot of silver, so that his inner treasury suddenly became a lot richer.

On the other side, Lu Xiangsheng was repairing warships and training sailors, the territory originally occupied by Jiangdong Town, with Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, and Kong Youde surrendering, all of them were returned to Huang Taiji, and the remaining two sailors of the Ming Dynasty, one was the Fujian Sailor of Fujian Governor Nan Juyi, and now he was transferred to Liaodong Bay, which was based on Juehua Island and Changsheng Island, under his control. The other sailor was the Jiangdong Town sailor who was originally controlled by Mao Wenlong, but unfortunately after Mao Wenlong's death, this sailor was divided into two, part of it was controlled by the later Jiangdong general soldier Huang Long, and part of it was defected Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, and Kong Youde were brought to the territory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty got this defected naval division, when fleeing from Liaodong Bay, encountered, Jiangdong General Huanglong's patrol fleet, the two sides fought down, although the fleet in the hands of Shang Kexi is still slightly inferior to Huanglong's naval division, but it has been able to barely compete with the Ming Dynasty's naval division in Liaodong, if it cooperates with the Qing army on land on the shore, it is possible to leave Huanglong's patrol fleet, which makes Huanglong's fleet dare not easily go up the Yalu River to attack the hinterland of the Jurchens. It's a pity that this Jiangdong sailor, who has nailed the Jurchens to Liaodong for many years, can no longer threaten the Jurchens, and the Jurchens are like a wild horse that has escaped the reins, taking off the shackles on their bodies, making the later generations of the Ming exhausted.

In order to eliminate the defected sailors obtained by the Jurchens, Chongzhen mobilized the Fujian Navy Division and the Huanglong Patrol Fleet, which gathered almost all the fleets of the Ming Dynasty, and in order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the sailors, he took the lead in implementing military reform for these sailors.

The eunuch led the holy decree issued by Chongzhen, rushed to Changsheng Island by boat, and read out the holy decree of Chongzhen's military reform in Lu Xiangsheng's sailor camp: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the original Fujian Navy Division, Jiangdong Patrol Fleet, merged to form the Bohai Sea Division, where the sailors are soldiers, partial generals and below, kill one enemy, reward ten silver, kill ten enemies, the official is promoted to one level, the soldiers are disabled, and the imperial court is responsible for arranging the work after retirement, exempt from all taxes in the future, and the war dead, The imperial court pension of twenty taels plus the reward received was sent to the family of the parents who died in the battle, and all the taxes paid by the family in the future, during the war, the imperial history and the supervising army followed the statistics of the war exploits, but anyone who falsely reported the war exploits was killed. All rewards were distributed by the imperial court after the war, and at the same time, there was a supervising army to establish a military law force, and the serving non-commissioned officers were managed by the military law force, and the local yamen had no right to interfere" After listening to the holy decree read by this eunuch, there was an uproar in the barracks, and after figuring out what it meant, many soldiers shouted long live.

The eunuch of the prison army said to Lu Xiangsheng, who was still kneeling on the ground in a daze, "Lord Lu, what are you in a daze, you are the general of the Bohai Sea Division, why don't you take the order on behalf of the Bohai Sea Division" Until this time, Lu Xiangsheng Cai reflected and quickly knelt down to thank him.

"Lord Lu still has a secret decree given to you by the emperor, you can also take it together, and this emperor list, you can send someone to post it together" The eunuch smiled Lu Xiangsheng greeted him, if ordinary people passed the decree, the eunuch would definitely be too lazy to deal with it, but the Lord Lu in front of him was deeply trusted by the emperor, and he had to be careful when talking to the other party, so as not to let the emperor know and be unhappy.

"Thank you father-in-law, please face the public kilometer" Lu Xiangsheng led this eunuch to the camp to invite, for this eunuch of the prison army, Lu Xiangsheng also did not want to offend, in Daming he would rather provoke the official, the scolded dog was bloody, and did not want to offend the eunuch, who let this group of eunuchs not only have hands and eyes to the sky, but also do things without compromise, since ancient times, I have not seen what the minister can do after offending the eunuch.

Not long after Lu Xiangsheng took the eunuch into the camp, one of Lu Xiangsheng's personal soldiers took the imperial list brought by the eunuch and posted it in front of the gate of the barracks.

"Zhang San, is this a notice, what is written" A soldier holding a spear pushed his comrade-in-arms next to him.

"I'm illiterate, how do I know, hey, isn't that Li Si, didn't he join the army later as a down-and-out scholar, it just so happens that he is literate, ask him" This soldier named Zhang San was trying to get angry with his companions, you said that he was an illiterate old man, let me read and write, is it interesting for you to squeeze me like this, just at this time Li Si in the distance came over.

"Li Si, come on, help see what this notice says" Although Zhang San is more short-tempered, he still respects a scholar like Li Si.

"Oh, I'll take a look, this is a notice, this is the emperor's list, it's the emperor's list, you didn't see that this is written on yellow paper, it's just strange, this emperor's list generally doesn't have a commentator, why is it gone" As for the commentator who was talked about by Li Sinian, this unlucky child got seasick on the way here, vomited in a daze, and is still lying on the bed, not getting up.

"This emperor said, in the future, kill an enemy's head, the reward is ten taels of silver, and the head of an officer is worth a hundred taels, if several people cooperate to kill, the reward will be divided equally among several people, and the people in the ranks, regardless of their origins, will receive rewards according to the size of their military merits, but this reward will be promoted to a partial general at most, and if you want to make meritorious contributions by killing the enemy, you must learn the art of war, otherwise you can only take the head to exchange for money, and there is, if you are injured and can't be a soldier, the court will find you a job to do, and all your taxes will be exempted in the future, If you die in battle, give twenty taels of silver to your parents, wives and children, and they will not have to pay taxes in the future, but the reward you get for killing the enemy will be given to your parents, wives and children along with the twenty taels. Fighting in the township, fighting for selfishness is powerless in the country. Private fighting is prohibited, and violators will be punished severely. That is to say, it will be unlucky to fight in private, and a military justice department will be set up in the military camp in the future to deal with some soldiers who violate military discipline, which Zhao San, you love to fight, but be careful" Hearing this, many people looked at Zhao San and laughed, this guy's temper is fierce, but he has fought with many people.

"This military justice department, not only deal with fights and brawls these violations of law and discipline, if there are generals who deduct your military salary or the court's reward can be reported, the court will send the imperial history down and the local supervision army to take charge of the military justice department, it seems that those generals who like to embezzle military salaries are coming to an end, by the way, if you commit a crime when you return to your hometown in the future, the local yamen only has the right to arrest you, and the final trial will still hand you over to the military justice department to deal with, that is to say, the local yamen can't control you, At most, I will arrest you and send you to the Judge Advocate General's Office, the Judge Advocate General's Office will send statisticians on the battlefield to count the soldiers' exploits, whether they are soldiers or statisticians, they will do their tricks and feet on the merits of the war, and they will be caught, and there will be no mercy for killing, I will look here, the first ten to hundreds of people board the enemy ship, or the city tower actually has additional rewards, the first place is actually rewarded with a thousand silver and two consecutive promotions to three levels, this is a big deal, if only I had the ability, it would be good if I had the ability, and the war exploits could also atone for their relatives, which is too great, In the end, the Judge Advocate General's Office has begun to recruit people, and whoever wants to go will go to the Lord of the Prison Army to sign up" Li Si explained, shaking his head and thinking about what to leave the imperial list here.

And many soldiers who know the content of the emperor's list are thinking about when there will be a battle, and when the time comes, they will kill a few enemies and get some money to spend, and even more brave people will begin to call friends to sharpen their war knives, preparing to get the head of an enemy general and exchange it for a lot of money, and for a time the entire military camp will be monstrous.
