As soon as he heard that Xiao Ruxun had been thinking about a question, Yuan Huang looked at Xiao Ruxun with interest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"What?"

"You said that the Ming Dynasty has developed to the point where there are no officials and no corruption, no corruption and no officials, and even to the point of emptying the treasury, is there a reason why there are too few officials? Is it advisable to maintain a high salary like the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Xiao Ruxun asked, but Yuan Huang was stopped, he touched his beard, paced back and forth a few steps, and slowly said: "This matter, the old man is indeed not very easy to say, but in all fairness, as far as the officials customized by Taizu are indeed the lowest in all dynasties, and none of the dynasties are as low as the officials of my Ming Dynasty, so that the officials can't even support their families with their official salaries alone, which is indeed nothing to say." ”

Xiao Ruxun also nodded: "What kind of considerations did Taizu have for customizing such a low official salary?" And it has never changed for more than 200 years, if you really want to be a clean official, you really can't even support your family, how can you blame those officials who make a little money to support their families? Compared with civil officials, the rewards of our military generals are generous, but the civil officials who hold a lot of power only have a pitiful salary. ”

Yuan Huang was noncommittal.

"The rights and wrongs of the first emperor, non-our subordinates should discuss, but in all fairness, such a low official is indeed an important factor leading to the corruption of the current officialdom, and it is also an important incentive for officials and businessmen to collude with power and money transactions, the old man has lived for so long, and he will not treat everyone as a saint to see, more or laypeople, even if he reads a book and becomes an official, he will not even have to eat, if the layman does not love money, it is absolutely impossible, there is only one sea pen holder in the world.

However, if you really want to say that it is right to pay high salaries and maintain incorruptible, it is not necessarily, people's desires are difficult to fill, like a mouse, if you feed it, he will not bite the grain and wood? Not necessarily, right? All in all, judging from what the old man has seen and heard, a high salary may not be able to support integrity, but a low salary will definitely give rise to corruption, after all, people always have to eat. ”

Xiao Ruxun nodded, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and drank it slowly.

With the leadership of the commanders of the water division, the officers and soldiers of the water division also let go, and spent a night of ecstasy together, and everyone still cared about the feelings of comrades-in-arms, so that the brothers who had not tasted the taste of women would go first, and those who had tasted it would go later, and so on.

Although they killed too much, but the Ming army still captured more than 600 young women alive on Tsushima Island, after nightfall, the Ming soldiers consciously lined up, an average of ten people were assigned to a woman, and the big-headed soldiers entered the small black house one by one to enjoy the fruits of their victory, and the whole island had a scene of spring flowers blooming, which was very beautiful.

Only Deng Zilong insisted on patrolling with his nephew and the family's own soldiers, and did not participate in it, and when he patrolled to the place where the soldiers were relaxing, he saw a soldier with a strange face and a strange face on the ground with an endless aftertaste, Deng Zilong was angry, and really wanted to come forward and beat them violently.

Originally, Deng Zilong didn't like this custom in the army very much, and he didn't allow his subordinates to do it, but today he probably watched Chen Lu take the lead, and his subordinates didn't listen to the order, and disobeyed his order to come here to enjoy the fruits of victory, hearing the crying voice of the woman in the house, Deng Zilong shouted angrily at his nephew Deng Xianwu, who was holding him tightly: "It is my duty to kill the enemy on the battlefield, and treating prisoners like this on the battlefield is not a beast's move?!" ”

Deng Xianwu said helplessly: "Everyone is a soldier, and there is no chance to find a woman in peacetime, but now is a rare opportunity, and Mr. Chen has agreed, uncle, there are many brothers who have never tasted the taste of women, and they don't know when they will die in battle. ”

Deng Zilong glared at Deng Xianwu fiercely, sighed heavily, and left here hatefully.

Early the next morning, Chen Lan held a military meeting, and the content of the meeting was the order sent by Xiao Ruxun yesterday evening.

"Admiral Xiao instructed that we need to arrive at Busan Port before noon on the 23rd day of the first lunar month, that is, tomorrow, to attack the Japanese Naval Division in Busan Port, annihilate them, completely cut off the Japanese retreat route at sea, trap the 40,000 Japanese in Busan and tens of thousands of other Japanese Invaders to death, and strive to go down without a fight, all generals must remember!"

"No!"

The generals of the sailors agreed in unison.

Chen Lan also instructed: "When the main force of the army leaves Busan, it is necessary to leave some warships to stay in Tsushima, take care of the prisoners, and be vigilant against the fleet of ships from the Japanese mainland. ”

Chen Lan handed over a command flag, and Deng Zilong stepped forward and took the order flag.

"Deputy General Deng, strictly defend Tsushima Island, if there is a fleet of Japanese ships coming from the Japanese mainland, you need to annihilate all of them, so that one of them does not escape and return, and the general will leave two centipede ships for you to chase the enemy, can you do it?"

Deng Zilong said solemnly: "The last general will be deadly!" ”

"Good! The generals immediately went back to reorganize the army, sorted out the war preparations, set sail at dawn tomorrow morning, and arrived at the port of Busan before noon to start the general attack!! ”

"No!"

The generals of the sailors immediately went to prepare, compared to the impetuousness and rage of the previous day, today, Deng Zilong obviously felt that the manic aura on these people had weakened a lot, and Deng Zilong, who was well versed in the truth, only sighed, did not say anything more, but did his best to do his duty.

In the early morning of the second day, the Ming army had already had breakfast, Chen Xuan had a lecture, and the majestic and high-spirited Ming sailors set sail for the expedition, Deng Zilong stayed on Tsushima Island, rectified the remaining more than 30 warships and began to patrol around the island, and then went to check the situation of those prisoners who were left behind, the situation of those prisoners, especially female prisoners, was indeed very bad, and even a few of them died without clothes, Deng Zilong could only shake his head and wave his hand, and carry these corpses out and bury them.

He knew very well that these dead captives were really lucky, because they died early, and they didn't have to bear the more unbearable fate later, as far as he knew, Chen Ling was planning to dedicate these female captives to Xiao Ruxun, so that Xiao Ruxun could reward the army soldiers for the fire, and the 40,000 dragon and tiger soldiers didn't know how these hundreds of women were busy coming.

I don't know if it's a joke of God, when the Annihilation War of Busan Port began, Deng Zilong's patrol team actually found seventeen or eighteen caves in the mountains and forests of the island, and the caves were all hidden Japanese, and most of them were women, more than 1,000 people, and more than 800 old people and children.

When he got the report, Deng Zilong knew what he should do, he waved his hand, and naturally there were subordinates to do it for him—women are useful, and weak old people and weak children are completely useless.

The Ming soldiers were overjoyed, which meant not only the first rank and merit, but also more women and longer enjoyment.

This reminded Deng Zilong of what his old boss had said to him not long after he joined the army-what he had said to him that he couldn't look down on the behavior of some soldiers - do you think these people are not military households, what are they doing in the army? Serve the emperor? For the country and the people? Hahaha! How can there be so many great truths! It's just a mixed meal, trying to be refreshing, if you don't make them happy, they won't make you happy!
