This is indeed a new problem, the money is issued to boost morale, but the people who have money have other ideas, which is very different from the original purpose, but the money sent out can not be returned, and this matter absolutely needs to be properly handled.

Then I remembered this man, since he could see such a problem, he should be able to find a solution, so he asked: "Then how do you think this matter should be solved?" ”

Zhu Dayou suggested carefully: "Isn't that so?" Let each team of soldiers draw a trusted person, and gather the reward silver in the hands of the soldiers, those who are single, they will keep it together, and those who have a small family, they will send it back to their families through the bank, as long as the soldiers have no money in their hands, he can settle down and fight. ”

Cao Huachun really didn't expect that in this royal family raised as a pig, looking at this honest and rough man, there would be such a delicate character, although this idea is simple, but at this critical time, it has a huge effect, so he nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and said approvingly: "This method is really good, our family will implement the order you said." Then he patted him on the shoulder again: "Do it well, this battle is over, I think you should have no problem being a thousand generals." ”

This promise moved Zhu Dayou so much that he almost fainted at that time, and entered the ranks of the thousand presidents, that is, the real officials of Zhengliupin, which is even bigger than the county lord.

After the last civil and military dispute, the current civil and military situation has changed, there is no martial arts, only look at the grade, no longer as at the beginning, even if a thousand households see the county order, they must kneel and kowtow, now, the county order does not give a thousand households kowtow, but it is necessary to give gifts.

Now Zhu Dayou really didn't expect that he would have such a big future in the future, and when he goes home in the future, it can be regarded as returning to his hometown in fine clothes, so that his hard-working wife can have a good time.

So after thanking him again and again, he returned to his team and announced the decision of the eunuch in charge, which immediately won the cheers of the soldiers, and Zhu Dayou was of course elected by his subordinates as a representative, especially he could also say a few words, so he recorded the number of each person's silver in the book, and also recorded the address of those who wanted to remit home. Then he ran down the city with everyone's hopes to find the nearest bank.

Walking on the streets of the capital, Zhu Dayou saw that although martial law was declared in the capital, and there were more columns of soldiers and horses patrolling the streets of the five cities, the people were rarely panicked, which may be the quality of the people in the imperial capital, but it is more likely that the last Gyeonggi Rebellion has made people feel that in fact, nothing is a big deal, and everything will pass.

In the bank, he saved the reward silver of his brothers, and at the same time, he also remitted his 12 taels of silver back to his hometown in Shandong, and bought paper and pencils, lying on the counter of the bank, and wrote a letter to his wife crookedly. Being able to repay the creditor who came to collect debts every day, being able to buy food and furniture, and being able to raise her eyebrows in front of her mother's family, she thought it was all worth it.

Since there was no need to worry about it, there was no need to hide in other places to be lazy, although I really wanted to go to the tavern and say goodbye to the owner of the meal, but thinking that the war in the city was urgent, I hurried back to the city again.

As a result, just when he ran up to the city, the personal soldier who should have been there immediately took his hand excitedly: "Head." But when he thought about it, Zhu Dayou was already the general manager of Zhengqipin at this time, and hurriedly changed his name to the adult, "It's okay now, we have soldiers at hand." ”

"Soldiers? Where did the soldiers come from, could it be that King Qin's army entered the city? ”

"No, it's—" As he spoke, the soldier pointed down at the city, "Isn't that?" They held the knives and guns received at the intersection, under the command of a column of officials and officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, they were walking towards the city, and an officer of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division walked in front of Zhu Dayou, looked at his clothes, and then asked: "Are you the general here?" ”

Zhu Dayou nodded yes, and the official said to him: "I received a joint official letter from the Military Aircraft Department and the Cabinet, and the young and strong people in the city were transferred to form a township to assist the officers and soldiers in defending the city. ”

This kind of news immediately made those little soldiers rejoice, overnight, everyone became a captain, everyone was considered an official, and Zhu Dayou was even more happy, his small total was immediately expanded to six hundred men, it was really majestic, especially what made him happy was that through this expansion, those instruments on the city wall were finally operated.

As a result, there was an acquaintance who was assigned to his subordinates, that is, the owner of the restaurant who had a meal for him, and the two of them were surprised to see each other.

The hotel owner bowed his hand to Zhu Dayou, and congratulated her with a spring breeze on his face: "Really congratulations to Uncle Huang, this is just a few days, you are now the president, and you will take care of the president in the future." ”

Zhu Dayou looked at him very puzzled: "You have to be 50 years old, why shouldn't you be within the scope of the dispatch of Xiangyong." ”

"I'm old, and it was supposed to be my son who was transferred, but my son was quick with his hands and feet, and the store needed him to take care of him inside and out, so I came here for him."

Zhu Dayou said worriedly: "The soldiers are in danger, in case of a war, your hands and feet are not sharp, what should you do if you have three long and two short?" ”

"War?" The shopkeeper showed that he was very surprised, and then said with an indifferent face: "My imperial uncle, don't worry, this capital can't fight, so I'm the old guy who came up to meet the situation." ”

"How do you know you can't fight? Zunhua City has fallen, and 40,000 Manchu Eight Banners can rush to the city in a blink of an eye. ”

"What if Zunhua fell, I've read the newspaper, four days ago, the people of the Inspector Lu have already arrived at Longkou Pass, as long as the Inspector is there, let alone the 40,000 Manchu Eight Banners Jiannu, even if the wild boar skin of Huang Taiji comes from all over the country, he will definitely not see the city wall of the capital."

This statement made Zhu Dayou stunned, in the eight days of training in Beijing, the above always intentionally or unintentionally instilled that Lu Hanqiang defected to the enemy and betrayed the country, especially this time Jiannu attacked Zunhua, and it was even more conclusive that Lu Hanqiang deliberately released water, that is, Lu Hanqiang harbored evil intentions, and everyone should have hated the enemy and denounced this traitor together, but looking at the common people represented by this boss, it is diametrically opposed to what is said above, what is going on?

As if seeing Zhu Dayou's doubts, the boss laughed, walked to the city wall lightly, squinted his eyes and admired the boundless green outside the city, and then turned his head to stare at Zhu Dayou's eyes: "Did someone say that Lu Hanqiang is a traitor?" Did someone say that this time the Manchurian Eight Banners attacked Zunhua, and it was Lu Hanqiang who deliberately released water? ”

Zhu Dayou nodded at his benefactor with difficulty, he was a real person, and he didn't want to hide his heart from his benefactor at all.

As a result, the boss looked at him with pity. How terrible it is to see this reality now.

Thinking that in his own shop, a good man who beat up unscrupulous literati with righteous punches still can't withstand the daily brainwashing campaign, you can imagine what kind of slander it was in the royal family capital camp, but there was no opposition in the barracks.

So, the shopkeeper sighed bitterly: "If anyone else in this world may defect to the enemy and betray the country, but if it is said that Lu Hanqiang and Lu Inspector Lu defected to the enemy and betrayed the country, don't ask those bullshit officials, you go and ask the people in this world who believes?" Then he solemnly said to Zhu Dayou: "My brother, you are not a three-year-old child, Inspector Lu's various behaviors should also be seen, which of his things is like wanting to defect to the enemy and betray the country?" Especially when he has already destroyed the Manchu Qing and is now in the final national war of the Manchu Qing, is it still necessary for him to defect to the enemy and betray the country? What are the reasons and interests of his betrayal? What you will do without profit, without fame, with nothing? ”

Look at Zhu Dayou, who is thinking about it every day: "My good brother, think about it, don't fall for those people with ulterior motives." Then he said with a look of conviction: "In the last battle of Gyeonggi, to put it mildly, when your imperial nephew forced the old man to die, when your imperial nephew took the old and young of the family as hostages, and when the army of King Qin of the world betrayed him, our Governor independently drove out the Tartars, saved the Ming Dynasty, and independently took on the important task of resisting the Manchu Qing Dynasty and restoring Liaodong, did he defect to the enemy and betray the country?" No. ”

Then he turned his head and looked at the Zijin City wrapped in a layer of gray haze in the distance: "Those Qin Hui in the imperial court can be suspicious and can slander our Supervisor, but we, the people, firmly believe that our Supervisor is Yue Fei, and we firmly believe that his old man will never let our people be miserable, which is why we people are happy to participate in Xiangyong and do not cry and complain." Then he slammed his fist on the city wall: "Because we firmly believe that our Overseer will never abandon us." ”

So Zhu Dayou was confused and confused, but he also began to learn slowly and think on his own.

While the two of them were asking and answering, suddenly there was a nervous shout from the city: "The Tartars are coming, the Tartars are coming." ”

The two people suddenly turned their heads and looked out, but no, just in the distance, a small group of cavalry was rushing towards the city gate, and above the small group of cavalry, a big flag was fluttering high, and a big (Qing) character was clearly written on the big flag.
