Section 74 How can you not die

The first tornado begins at the end of the Wanderer

"Haoming did a good job, don't pay attention to these clowns, they can't afford to make any big waves, this matter will be dealt with later. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's just that you came just in time, otherwise the old man would have to send someone to invite, and some situations need help to refer to one or two. ”

Hearing Qin Haoming tell about the behavior of the military department, Lu Xiangsheng didn't care at all.

If you get the first step right, the next step is logical.

Just for a while, the brow that had just been soothed immediately furrowed again, and he took out a few copies of the imperial palace banknotes and handed them to him.

For the young man in front of him, he is really becoming more and more dependent, because of his thoughts and ideas, there is always a feeling that he suddenly brightens his eyes.

"What does Governor Lu think?"

Qin Haoming hurriedly finished reading the contents of the banknote, and he was also a little confused.

One is that the amount of information is too small. The second is that there are too many contradictory things in the content of the newspaper.

The old man was also a little uncertain, some courtiers applauded this great victory, and some were worried, saying everything.

What is strange is the attitude of Yang Benbing and Gao Jian Jun, although they did not express their position publicly, but they heard that they preferred to talk about it after a battle, and announced this great victory to the world and praised it greatly. ”

Lu Xiangsheng's fingers unconsciously tapped on the table, it seemed that this matter had been bothering him for a long time.

Unable to figure out the opponent's back, he didn't know how to take it.

"What does the Divine Decree say today?"

If you can't think clearly, let it go first, Qin Haoming put aside other questions and asked Chongzhen's attitude directly.

"I didn't say anything, just a sentence of relief, Wangqing will make persistent efforts and wait for the good news to spread."

Lu Xiangsheng carefully reviewed the content of the holy decree and said slowly.

"Didn't the reward for this great victory, the pension for the wounded and wounded soldiers, etc., not mentioned?"

Qin Haoming still didn't give up, and asked one after another.

Lu Xiangsheng's face was heavy and he shook his head slowly.

Qin Haoming sighed, Chongzhen is not a hero after all, and he has no strategic vision.

The Tartars have already come to the door, and the officers and men of the Tianxiong Army have already shown their military morale, but they don't even know how to seize the opportunity to reward the meritorious and muster up the decadent morale caused by the Tartars.

A sentence that is neither salty nor light, how to make the court unite and drive the Tartars together.

Qin Haoming couldn't understand how Chongzhen could be mean like this.

It is said that as an emperor, the most unsightly thing is money.

Because no matter how much money he has, it's useless, there is nothing to buy, and there is nothing the emperor can't want.

On the contrary, it is the hearts of the people that he needs to consider.

But Chongzhen put the cart before the horse, no wonder he wanted to lose the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty can't be blamed for this matter, the money is controlled by the household department, and it is very difficult today."

Lu Xiangsheng saw Qin Haoming's uncertain face, and couldn't help but distinguish two sentences for Chongzhen, but he himself had no confidence in what he said.

"Why don't you understand that the emperor is not a hungry soldier, the ancients still understand, let alone ......"

Qin Haoming shook his head and didn't say any more.

There's no need, it's like this at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and it's not that I don't understand, otherwise how could I perish?

This is the real status quo at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the struggle between the vassal power and the monarchy is too fierce.

The ministers control the treasury, and the emperor uses every penny of civil officials to make irresponsible remarks, and it seems that the emperor who does not spend money is the son of the saint.

The so-called rights refer to personnel and finance.

The personnel are almost controlled by the cabinet and the household department, and the emperor's financial power is not much, and if he doesn't actively put money into the inner treasury, how can he live?

Because the inner treasury does not need to go through civil officials to spend money, the emperor at the end of the Ming Dynasty especially liked to send eunuchs to collect taxes and store silver taels.

even knew that Chongzhen and Shoufu Zhou Yanru also had an allusion to "Birds and Mice".

In the early years of Chongzhen, Liaodong's arrears of wages caused riots.

Shoufu Zhou Yanru said: "The sergeant is coerced, not only for a small salary, but also for hidden secrets.

The ancients dug up rats, but the military spirit remained the same.

Today, the soldiers are only less than his monthly salary, and there must be a reason for how to make noise. ”

"Luo Que Digging Rats" came from the Tang Dynasty loyal minister Zhang Xun when he was besieged by An Lushan's rebellious army in Suiyang.

At that time, Zhang Xun's troops were short of food, and for a while they could only rely on catching sparrows and mice to satisfy their hunger.

In the end, there was nothing to eat in the city, and the people were all finished, and finally the whole army was killed, Zhang Xun was killed, and no one in the city defenders surrendered.

It's just that this "sparrow digging rats" was really a last resort at that time.

But Chongzhen actually thought so. At that moment, he nodded happily and said: "As it is said, the ancients still had a lot of birds and mice, and today they are short of wages, how can they come to this?" ”

To be honest, the soldiers of the army were working for the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Chongzhen, and this military salary should have been paid by the imperial court.

But Chongzhen doesn't seem to understand that these people are guarding the country for him.

According to the two monarchs and ministers, it seems that the imperial court not only does not need to pay military salaries, but also asks the soldiers of the Ming army to catch birds and mice hungry to satisfy their hunger, and then continue to fight for the imperial court.

From this, it is not difficult to see that the emperor and ministers still have such an attitude towards the problem of unpaid troops in the front line, so it can also be imagined about the guards in other places.

The attitude of Chongzhen, or the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and some ministers, was in fact one of the important reasons for the peasant uprisings in the late Ming Dynasty, and the uprisings were repeated repeatedly.

Since the emperor and the ministers did not think that there was any problem with not paying the silver, and they could ask the soldiers to dig up rats to satisfy their hunger, then it is no wonder that the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty relied on robbing the people for a living.

Lu Xiangsheng, who was standing in front of Qin Haoming, summed up this problem most incisively.

He once said in the recital: "If the salary is not enough, the soldiers will become thieves, and all the soldiers invited in the past eight years are thieves, and the salaries used are all stolen grain." ”

The remarks of Chongzhen and Zhou Yanru are really speechless to read.

Only the poor Liaodong soldiers who sacrificed their lives to fight against the Tartars not only did not have enough to eat and had no money to support their families, but also felt sad because they were accused of arrears of military salaries.

"For the sake of today, distribute the money and property seized from the Tartars last time, and first solidify the morale of the army. What does Lu Du think? ”

said a thousand ways and ten thousand, only if this battle is won and the Tartars are defeated, there will be a follow-up.

Otherwise, after all, it will be a flower in the moon mirror in the water, and everything will be empty.

"Yes, money is something outside the body, and it is not brought with it in life, and it is not taken with it in death. The soldiers fought bloodily, but their families still had to provide for them. ”

Lu Xiangsheng did not hesitate and immediately agreed.

In addition, it is necessary to be prepared for no reinforcements, and Xiao Sheng estimates that this battle may be extremely fierce.

Lu Du must not have the illusion that the imperial court will send other friendly troops to help. ”

Although the course of history has changed, Qin Haoming still does not dare to be careless.

It's because Yang Sichang, Gao Qiqian, Chen Xinjia and the like are not noble people.

I believe that if it is a tailwind battle, they will come to grab the merit, but the current combat effectiveness of the Tartars is not that of the Eight Banners in the later stage, and it is naturally impossible to talk about the tailwind battle.

"Well, at present, the 20,000 men of the Tianxiong Army are in place. The only worry is that I am afraid that the grain and grass will not be able to be provided, if it is ten days and half a month, it is okay, and it is difficult to say after a long time. Without the support of the imperial court, I'm afraid it's ......"

Lu Xiangsheng nodded worriedly, they had discussed the matter of no reinforcements before, and now it was just a repeat of the same old tune.

That's why the old ministry was summoned everywhere, but problems also arose, there were more people and horses, and food was a little stretched.

Cao Nima, if it wasn't Lu Xiangsheng standing in front of him, Qin Haoming would start scolding, either someone else, or Chongzhen.

What kind of reason is this, the Tartars can be quite nourishing in the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty's own army is fighting on the mainland, and there is no food and grass.

How can such a Ming Dynasty not die?
