The soldiers in the audience looked at the boxes shining silver in the sunlight, and their eyes were straight.

Wu Ji swallowed hard, "My grass, is this a repaid military salary for us?" ”

The beard looked depressed, and muttered to the sunspot beside him: "Kuroko, you pinch me hard to see if we are dreaming." ”

After hearing this, Kuroko pinched him hard, and a pain came from his waist, and his beard woke up, and then he woke up with a shock.

At this time, Li Yan's voice also came through the iron microphone.

"Originally, the salary owed to you by the previous dynasty has nothing to do with this dynasty, but Your Majesty is merciful and can't bear to see the soldiers living hard, so the special official came to make up for the half year's salary owed by the previous dynasty.

There was silence in the audience, and no one answered, Li Yan saw that his eyebrows curled slightly, and asked loudly again: "Can you understand!" ”

There was movement now, and a messy voice came up from the school ground: "Understand! ”

Followed by a wave of overwhelming voices coming from the school ground: "Long live Dahua, long live the emperor!" ”

"Wan Sheng!"

Countless soldiers were so excited that they couldn't help themselves, the court finally paid the silver, and their families finally had a head start.

When the soldiers were excited, the Liaodong generals on the viewing platform looked at the boxes of silver in front of them with complicated expressions, and their expressions of greed, regret, anger, and disobedience kept flashing in their eyes.

Yes, these Liaodong generals are not convinced, in the past, the imperial court allocated money to come over, and first had to be scraped by the Liaodong generals with Zu Dashou as the leader, and then the middle and low-level officers below scraped another layer, and finally ten taels of silver could be sent to less than four taels in the hands of the soldiers.

And they did this with the acquiescence of the imperial court, although this is a bad habit, but the atmosphere of the imperial court has long been degenerated, and even the ministers who are not accustomed to it are powerless to do so, because if you want to investigate, the interest groups offended are too big. Big enough to burn them to ashes.

But now Li Yan wants to get rid of all these bad habits, which will naturally cause a backlash from the generals of Liaodong, which is also the reason why he almost turned his face with Li Yan at yesterday's dinner, if Li Yan hadn't come with heavy troops, I'm afraid they would have turned their faces long ago.

Zu Da Congee, who was standing next to Zu Dashou, looked at the silver taels on the stage with greedy eyes, and whispered to Zu Dashou sadly: "Big brother, so much silver is more than 200,000 taels, if you let us distribute it." We can make at least sixty or seventy thousand taels, it's a pity to send it like this. ”

"Shut up!" Zu Dashou glared at Zu Da Congee, and said coldly: "Second brother, you have to remember that this silver belongs to the imperial court, not ours." Now is different from the past, since we eat Dahua's money now, we must abide by Dahua's rules, otherwise no one can save you if something happens. ”

"Yes!"

Listened to Zu Dashou's warning. Zu Da Congee had to answer stupidly and retreated.

As the payout began, boxes of silver were carried off the viewing platform, and they were divided into more than a dozen piles. There are several military judges standing around each pile, who are responsible for supervising and stopping any deduction or embezzlement of military salaries.

"Cheung Tai Fook"

"Wang Sanlu"

"Fu Lao Wu"

Whenever a name was recited, a soldier would come forward to receive the silver, and many of the soldiers wept excitedly after receiving the silver, and the money came too timely. It's not an exaggeration to call it life-saving silver. And they had already noticed that the silver was full of color, and looked snow-white and shiny, and it was by no means the inferior silver taels mixed with lead and blackened in color in the past.

"Head. It's been sent, fifteen taels, I have received fifteen taels of silver, now we have silver! ”…,

The beard who received the silver returned to the queue, dancing with excitement. The heavy silver in his hand shook his eyes.

"Wang Tiezhuan Su Youdao"

As the names were read one after another, more and more soldiers received the silver, happily returned to the team, looking at the smiling soldiers, Zu Dashou felt desolate in his heart, at this moment he had a bad premonition, his family had run Jinzhou for nearly a hundred years, I am afraid that it will be handed over to the imperial court

At this time, Jinzhou was in the first line of the border with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Zu Dashou and others returned and brought a large number of food and reinforcements, and the news naturally could not be concealed from the spies in the city, and on the third day after the payment of silver in the city, everything that happened here was sent to the hands of Huang Taiji in Shengjing with a fast horse.

After receiving the information, Huang Taiji did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered to summon hundreds of civil and military officials to come to Chongde Hall to discuss matters.

In less than an hour, most of the Manchu princes gathered in the palace, and the emperor ordered the eunuchs to send the information sent by the spies down for the princes to circulate to each other.

Huang Taiji sat in the main hall, looking at the people below who were passing the information, they all looked solemn, some were contemplative, some were secretly cursing, some were sad, some were disdainful, all kinds of expressions were reflected in Huang Taiji's eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the news that our spies lurking in Jinzhou City have just arrived, Dahua sent their military department Shangshu to Liaodong, and wants to compete with my Qing Dynasty for Liaodong, why do you teach me?"

There is still silence, those Manchu princes and generals who have invaded the south and fought with Pang Gang in the past two years, such as Dolgon, Azig, Du Du and others are even more silent, before Pang Gang was just a thousand households, and he was so brave and difficult to deal with when he commanded the envoy, but now he has ascended the throne as the emperor, whether it is the army and financial resources, it is more than several times stronger than before, and it is more difficult to deal with.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Huang Taiji was secretly annoyed in his heart, and asked: "Why are you silent, now that Daming has fallen, and now Dahua has only been established for a few months, don't you even have the courage to fight with Dahua?" ”

Seeing that Huang Taiji was angry, everyone turned their attention to Dabeile Daishan, where the prestige of Daishan cannot be the highest, but his age is the longest, and he is the owner of the Red Flag, it is most appropriate for him to be the first to speak.

Dai Shan looked at everyone's eyes, and had no choice but to stand up, and said to Huang Taiji: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, although Dahua has increased his troops in Jinzhou, it may not be a sign that he wants to do something to my Daqing, although my Daqing strength has declined slightly this year, but it is not something that a newly established Dahua can shake." In the opinion of the ministers, this is just Dahua's normal troop increase, and the emperor does not need to worry. ”

Dai Shan's words did not make Huang Taiji feel relieved, Huang Taiji frowned and said, "Is there anyone else?" ”

At this time, Huang Taiji's eldest son, Haoge, jumped out, "Everyone, what's wrong with you, thinking that I am famous in the Qing Dynasty, are you so afraid of Dahua, thinking that Dahua is only a few months old, but why do you all have palpitations when you mention Dahua, is it that Pang has just grown three heads and six arms?" ”

As soon as Hauge's words came out, Dolgon couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said in his heart, if you really have the ability to touch them, what kind of ability is it to shout here.

Huang Taiji looked at his son with satisfaction, Haoge is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, extraordinary appearance, heroic and handsome, powerful, battle-hardened, repeatedly built military exploits, is deeply favored by him, listened to Haoge's words he was satisfied:

"What Haoge said is reasonable, although Dahua has increased its troops in Jinzhou, it is only 20,000, and it is not enough to threaten my Qing Dynasty, if they dare to send troops to me without authorization, our Qing Dynasty's iron cavalry will not be eaten."

At this time, Ning Play and Fan Wencheng, who were silent in the team, glanced at each other, and Ning Play stood up and said, "What the emperor said is very true, according to the slaves, the early establishment of Dahua, the territory occupied is only four or five percent of the former Ming Dynasty, if the slave is that Pang Gang, and he can't afford to manage his own one-third of an acre of land, how dare he have the intention of offending my Qing Dynasty?" However, the emperor should also be prepared to prevent the Jinzhou generals from making meritorious contributions and sending a large army to provoke me. ”…,

Huang Taiji nodded and said: "Well, what Ning Qing said is very true, I also think so, at this time, it is unlikely that Dahua and my Qing Dynasty will start a full-scale war, but it is necessary to be vigilant against the border generals below who are eager to make meritorious contributions and send troops to our Qing Dynasty as enemies without authorization." ”

Here, Huang Taiji thought about it again, and said to Haoge: "Haoge, tomorrow you will lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to camp near Jinzhou, if you encounter the enemy brigade is not allowed to fight, immediately lead the team back, if the other party follows and chases, you lead them to the direction of Shengjing, I want to see, do they dare to fight with my Qing Dynasty!" ”

Haorge was overjoyed, and immediately stood up and responded loudly: "The son obeys the order!" ”

At this time, Fan Wencheng stood up and said to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, please allow the slave to go to Jinzhou with the eldest brother." ”

Haoge was furious when he heard this, and he glared at Fan Wencheng and reprimanded angrily: "Fan Wencheng, what do you mean by this? Is it because you are not at ease with this king? ”

Fan Wencheng arched his hand and said: "The slave doesn't dare, but the new Liaodong Governor Li Yan also heard of him in the past, this person is quite strategic, and the slave just wants to make plans for the eldest brother in case this person has any conspiracy, and the slave can give advice to the eldest brother by his side." ”

Fan Wencheng's words were indeed a good intention, he knew Haoge's temperament, he was brave and not strategic, he was worried that Haoge would not be able to understand the meaning of Huang Taiji, and he would fight hard with Dahua and lose the precious troops of the Qing Dynasty in vain.

"Enough!" But Nai Haoge didn't appreciate it, and shouted angrily: "This king doesn't need you to teach how to fight the Han people, but how can you cowardly Han people be the opponents of this king!" ”
