Chapter 169: Funding
At this time, Yuan Chonghuan's proposal of firearms can be regarded as a move for the country, although the victory in Liaodong has nothing to do with him, which makes him a little disappointed, but his heart is still glad that this victory in Liaodong is a big victory, he knows, what will this victory bring to the court and the emperor?
At the beginning of the new emperor, Shaanxi was a catastrophe, and disasters occurred in various places, at this time, the Houjin raised troops to attack, and the Liaodong crisis broke out. With-Dream- . lā
If the war in Liaodong cannot end as soon as possible, it will cause three consequences, first, if the war is protracted, the imperial court will have to increase its investment in Liaodong, increase the burden on the imperial court, and will also affect the disaster relief matters of the imperial court, second, the people in Gyeonggi are panicked, the people are uneasy, and the number of people moving south every day increases, affecting the normal social order, and over time, it will cause unpredictable contradictions, and even cause turmoil, third, it will affect the prestige of the new emperor and the cabinet, the implementation of the new policy is less than a year, and the imperial court is strengthening from many aspects, if Liaodong is defeatedIf the southern nobles protest at this time, the situation will be out of control at that time.
Of course, the benefits of the victory in the Battle of Liaodong are self-evident, consolidating the power of the new emperor, increasing the prestige of the cabinet, and the imperial court can also go all out to provide disaster relief and stabilize social order, and the new policy of the whole country can be implemented steadily, which is particularly important for the changing Ming Dynasty. 、
After the outbreak of war in Liaodong, the Ministry of War issued an official document with the guards around the country, urging it to reorganize the armament war, so the generals and soldiers of the whole heart to the country, have been very concerned about the war in Liaodong, at this time the news of the victory came, of course, ecstatic, some of the general army management army is more humane, bought wine and meat for the soldiers, and ate wine and meat in the barracks, to celebrate the hard-won victory of the imperial court.
At the beginning of the implementation of the new policy, the southern clans changed their minds, and the cabinet instructed the officials in Jiangnan and other places to hype up the victory of Liaodong, of course, the effect received was also very good.
A wealthy businessman in Nanjing, together with dozens of local wealthy businessmen, wrote a joint letter, advocating that the new emperor is the son of heaven, and has the fortune of the world, lamenting that many places in the north have suffered disasters, and is willing to contribute his modest efforts to help the imperial court, and dozens of local wealthy businessmen gave Shaanxi 50,000 quintals of rice and grain, and 100,000 taels of silver.
After Zhu Youzhen saw the book, he smiled at Wang Chengen beside him and said, "This rich businessman Wu Minzhi in Nanjing is really a good businessman, this kind of generosity is really not something ordinary people can do." ”
Wang Chengen didn't understand in his heart, and said, "Wu Yuanwai cares about the people of the court, how can the emperor say that Wu Yuanwai is a good businessman?" “
In Zhu Youzhen's understanding, how to make the business bigger, the most important thing is that the official background should be heavy, in the special environment of the Ming Dynasty, some businessmen have a very strong background, but some businessmen do not have at all, Wu Minzhi, a small wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, although the family has a thousand runs, but there is no background, because of the victory in Liaodong, the whole world is celebrating, Wu Minzhi took this opportunity to climb the relationship with the emperor, and start business in the future, where the government does not give three points, of course, this is Zhu Youzhen's cognition.
After listening to Wang Chengen's words, Zhu Youzhen thought, "Isn't I thinking too much?" Could it be that Wu Minzhi is really just dedicated to the country. "Just because the current social order of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as that of later generations, of course, no matter what Wu Minzhi has in mind, the money and food are really given, as the emperor, you must express it, otherwise how to mobilize the patriotism of these rich businessmen.
"Wang Chengen drew up his will, Nanjing Wu Minzhi, wholeheartedly for the country, considerate of the people of Shaanxi, generously donated money to help the victims, I was very comforted, and gave Wu Minzhi's eldest son the same Jinshi background, and Wu Minzhi's wife as Mrs. Sanpin."
"The old slave commands, what about the rest of the rich merchants?"
"Let Li Ge write a few plaques and give them away." Zhu Youzhen said.
Although it is different from Zhu Youzhen's reward to Wu Minzhi, but this reward is not low, the emperor is the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, and the head of the cabinet is the head of the hundred officials, the pillar of the country, and the plaque he wrote in his own hand, on behalf of the court's reward, which is the supreme glory.
Jinzhou City, Liaodong.
After the end of the battle of Liaodong, the people of Jinzhou City began to resume their work, and the remains of the soldiers who died on the battlefield were buried, of course, there were no coffins, most of them were a straw mat.
Now that the war is over, the damage to the people of Liaodong is still lingering, on the one hand, everyone is enjoying the joy of victory, on the other hand, they have to endure the grief of the destruction of their homes and the death of their loved ones.
After the great victory in Liaodong, Zhao led the prestige of the sect in Liaodong increased a lot, all the generals and deputy generals felt that Zhao Zongbing should be brave, and his prestige chased Sun Chengzong, when the pension of the imperial court arrived in Liaodong, Jinzhou City was registered according to the Ministry of War, and Jinzhou was the largest distribution of pensions, a total of 220,000 taels, nearly half. This is the amount of the bereavement pension drawn up by the three parties of the household servant and the Jinglue Mansion and the Jinyi Wei, the Hubu Jinyi Wei supervises, and the Liaodong Jingluo Mansion is responsible for issuing and implementing the official documents of the imperial court and the holy decree of Zhu Youzhen.
The emperor's decree informed the whole army, so that those soldiers who had little knowledge were greatly moved, and the death of a soldier as a confidant should be this feeling.
Although on the eve of preparing for the war, the emperor issued a holy decree, saying that the old are supported and the young are raised, but at that time it was all empty checks, but now it is different, the court has taken out real money, and really wants to support the elderly and children, which strengthens the soldier's heart to fight.
Liaodong rewarded the whole army, but at this time, Zhao Shujiao entrusted the matter of Jinzhou to the deputy general and went to Shanhaiguan to report on his work.
In fact, there is a question in the general center of the whole army in Liaodong, the rewards of ordinary soldiers have been in place, but the holy decree does not mention that Zhao Shujiao has a word, this is somewhat undeserved, could it be that General Zhao has enemies in the court, and the great credit has been covered up?
Some of Zhao Shujiao's relatives were very uncomfortable, and they also expressed their dissatisfaction like Zhao Shujiao in private, but they were all reprimanded by Zhao Shujiao, and the various measures of the imperial court, treating the soldiers well, and drawing up a complete set of perfect maintenance plans, all of which made Zhao Shujiao's heart ignite a hope for the full recovery of Liaodong.
After Zhao led his religion to Shanhaiguan, Sun Chengzong set up a banquet in the house to entertain Zhao Shuijiao, and the people who sat with him were all real power figures in Liaodong, Man Gui, Zu Dashou, Yao Shouguang, and even Mao Wenlong, who was stationed in North Korea, appeared at the banquet, and there were countless generals and deputy generals, and of course, there was also the civil official system in Liaodong.
