Chapter 169: Turning the Face in Public
Li Xin thought so, and the establishment of two examples could not only divert the restless attention of the soldiers in the city, but also motivate the soldiers to use their lives. But he suddenly remembered that today two people who were about to set up a model actually beat each other together, was it just a coincidence?
"Master Mao, do you think there is something strange about Zheng Jin and the two beating each other today?"
Mao Weizhang also felt very strange about this, and suddenly Jin Dayou's delicate little lady with pear blossoms and rain flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly drove it out. He can't say anything about chasing after the wind and shadows, in case he ruins the reputation of others, he will be unable to escape the blame.
"The border army and the guard army have always had deep grievances, there has always been a Qiu commander to subdue the town, and now the Qiu commander has been martyred, these people have made a fuss, and it is also because of the feelings accumulated over the years, and now they have been released, it will not be much of a problem."
Li Xin nodded, "That's fine, Lord Mao must arrange this matter as soon as possible, and it is best to officially award and award it in public tomorrow!"
As soon as these words came out, Mao Wei was stunned, why was he so hasty? Once this thing is done quickly, it is easy to make mistakes, especially when the contradiction between the border army and the guard army is very deep, in case the scale of rewards and punishments makes everyone dissatisfied, and the typical plan may even backfire, not only does not play a positive role, but will also bring the opposite effect. When even persuaded: "Lord Commander, I am too hasty in one day, I am afraid that something is wrong, I must carefully study how to reward and punish." ”
Li Xin was noncommittal, but looked directly at Mao Weizhang and asked, "According to Lord Mao's opinion, how should we reward and punish?" ”
Mao Weizhang thought about it for a while and said: "In the imperial court system, Cexun relies on his first rank, and he is based on this. ”
Li Xin asked again: "According to the system, how should Zheng Sijiu be rewarded, and how should Jin Dayou be rewarded?" ”
Hearing Li Xin's successive questions, Mao Weizhang swallowed his saliva, he was very unaccustomed to this aggressive way of talking, in front of this young general soldier, he always had an inexplicable strong pressure.
"Zheng Sijiu can be promoted to the general manager, and Jin Dayou can reward his reputation."
Li Xin asked again without a head: "I heard that Zheng Sijiu has always been cowardly and gentle, how is it abnormal today?" ”
"I don't know about this." Mao Weizhang told the truth, and he couldn't figure this out.
"If he returns to normal, wouldn't it be a trap for the Ming soldiers to be awarded the general?"
Mao Weizhang was silent, indeed, for such a controversial person, to give him a heavier accusation, his own ideas were obviously a little too rash, and he finally sniffed a little from Li Xin's series of questions.
"Please also show me the commander-in-chief!"
"Not only reward, but also reward! Each person will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver! As for whether to award Zheng Sijiu the position of president, Master Mao still needs to carefully examine the school before making a decision. ”
It is Lao Cheng's words to be reappointed after the school examination, but he can open his mouth to reward a thousand taels of silver, and two people are two thousand taels, Mao Weizhang is a little unimpressed, although Yang Hewei is not small, but after years of disasters and wars, there is not much money and food left, and he has been living a tight life. The late commander Qiu Gong accumulated some savings after several years of work, and now the three guards opened their mouths and gave up two thousand taels, which he did not approve of either in terms of rules or feelings.
"Is the reward high? Yang and Wei are not rich in money and food. ”
Li Xin admired this Mao Weizhang very much, as long as there was something he disagreed with, he would directly point it out to his face, which was obviously much more principled than Qian Tai of the Zhenwei guard. It's just that people with this kind of character are good at doing things, but being an official is a different matter. This person can experience the experience of the division in one of the three divisions of Yanghe Weiguan, and it should be said that Qiu Gong is still meritocracy. It seems that I will have to go through some trouble to convince him.
"You can't save this money! The soldiers have been promoted, there is always today and no tomorrow, who can keep tomorrow and live in this world in peace and stability in the troubled times. But the money is different, it can be left to his wife and children, and to his family, even if he is martyred, the family can be regarded as having a guarantee......"
Mao Weizhang felt that this statement was reasonable, but he still didn't think it was worth spending the two thousand taels of silver for the sake of the security of a few soldiers.
"Xia Guan still can't figure it out, the reward of 1,000 taels of silver is not a small amount in the court, is it too ...... to reward soldiers and merchants now?"
Hearing Mao Weizhang say this, Li Xin smiled, no matter how enlightened he was in this era, the discrimination in his heart was still deeply rooted in the bone marrow. 369 and so on, soldiers and merchants will always be the bottom of society, and it is a common thing for officials to look down on them. Even people like Mao Weizhang are not exempt from vulgarity.
Li Xin finally realized that it was not easy for him to convince this person, and began to regret that he had the idea of being ready to persuade him.
"Let's discuss this matter here first, Master Mao must implement it if he understands it, and he must implement it if he doesn't understand it."
Since the chief soldier has talked about this, Mao Weizhang knew that no matter how insistent he was, he couldn't influence Li Xin's decision, so he reluctantly responded, but his heart was dripping blood, and he watched the money accumulate bit by bit.
Seeing Mao Weizhang's appearance of a dead father, Li Xin's heart was still soft.
"That's it, this money doesn't go to Yang and Wei's account. However, Yang and Wei are required to pay in advance, and when they come to Japan, they will transfer this money to you from Zhenwei to make up for it. ”
Mao Wei was overjoyed, thanked Li Xin and hurried away.
The commendation meeting was held as scheduled, and Zheng Sijiu and Jin Dayou were both put on costumes and pushed down the temporary high platform. First of all, acting Yang and Wei palm prints, and Mao Weizhang, who was a secretary, spoke. The merits of Zheng Sijiu and Jin Dayou are described again. Then he affirmed the contributions of the two to Yang Hewei over the years, and finally threw out this reward, one thousand taels of silver per person.
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers who were present to watch the ceremony were in an uproar, originally thinking that this ceremony was at most a symbolic ceremony, who knew that they actually played a real game, and as soon as they made a move, they were 1,000 taels of silver per person. This is definitely an unimaginable number for the border soldiers and military households who have always been poor.
For a time, there were those who were envious, those who were jealous, and those who hated.
When the scene calmed down a little, Mao Weizhang asked Zheng Sijiu and Jin Dayou of the parties to speak and talk about their acceptance speeches. This link was arranged by Li Xin, he just wanted these two people to show up and say, he wanted to send a signal to the soldiers that as long as they dared to kill the enemy, they would have the hope of getting rich overnight.
Zheng Sijiu, as a representative of the border army, Mao Weizhang naturally couldn't let the businessman Jin Dayou speak first, otherwise someone in the border army might jump out and pick it up.
"Next, please tell Zheng Sijiu about his feelings." After a night of precipitation, the aura of fighting bravely against himself yesterday seems to have faded, and he has become a shy old soldier again.
"Don't be nervous, say whatever you want, don't have other concerns!"
Mao Weizhang found that Zheng Sijiu's face did not have the joy and excitement of suddenly getting rich, but looked preoccupied, thinking that he was nervous, so he comforted him. After hearing this encouragement, Zheng Sijiu seemed to have made up his mind, slowly raised his gaze, glanced under the high platform, and gradually turned to the stage, and finally landed on the face of Jin Dayou, who was also the rewardee.
Zheng Sijiu's face suddenly showed a strange smile, as if he was talking to himself and seemed to have a big deal with Najin.
"It's ...... that two bastards can be rewarded"
The voice of the speech was very small, and his speech was slurred, even Mao Weizhang, who was standing beside him, could not really hear it.
Mao Wei Zhang just wanted him to be louder, but he saw Zheng Sijiu suddenly rush forward with an arrow step, and with a flash of cold light in his hand, he stabbed Jin Dayou.
Jin Dayou didn't expect Zheng Sijiu to dare to assassinate himself in front of everyone, at this moment, all he was thinking about was whether this guy could expose the fact that he was a spy in public, but what was waiting for him was a dagger with a cold light. Zheng Sijiu's movements were too fast, too sudden, and it was too late for Jin Dayou to hide, so he had to lie straight on his back and fall to the ground in a hurry. The dagger cut through his cotton coat and the shallow flesh, and a line of blood followed, but he finally escaped the fatal blow.
"The surname Jin is fighting with you!"
Zheng Sijiu missed the blow and stabbed it again with a dagger, this time Mao Weizhang finally reacted and hugged Zheng Sijiu.
"Zheng Sijiu, what are you doing here? Don't want to live anymore? ”
"Let go of me, you ask what this bastard turtle son has done? If I don't kill him, I won't be surnamed Zheng! ”
There was a sudden chaos on and off the stage, Li Xin was behind the high platform, and when he saw the chaos, he immediately ordered Lu Jiu to come to the stage to take people. He knew that a show he had carefully prepared for the reward was smashed by these messy and crappy actors.
Lu Jiu finally held down Zheng Sijiu, who had entered a state of madness, and the thing was pressed to the ground and continued to struggle, a pair of eyes stared at Jin Dayou as if he was about to burst out, cursing in his mouth, and finally couldn't struggle, and actually cried in public.
This made everyone on and off the stage cry, and they all talked about it. Li Xin watched coldly, and saw that Zheng Sijiu's feelings were unstable, and he seemed to be greatly stimulated, and there must be an amazing hidden secret behind him to be able to act so radically.
"Zheng Sijiu can say what grievances and grievances he has, with our chief soldier in charge of you, why bother to defy the law yourself!"
Lu Jiu also saw that Zheng Sijiu was abnormal, and persuaded him with good intentions. Unexpectedly, Zheng Sijiu cried even more when he heard this, and suddenly, the crying stopped suddenly, a pair of red eyes glared at Jin Dayou, and gritted his teeth and said: "Then the Jin Dayou, I slept with my mother-in-law, and I was going to sweep me out...... Everyone commented on me, the hatred of taking my wife, if I don't kill him, are you still worthy of the two eggs in my crotch? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, no wonder Zheng Sijiu tried desperately again and again, it turned out that the merchant slept with someone's wife.
Merchants don't have a good thing, they are all mercenary. Both the border army and the guard army cast a disdainful gaze.
Mao Wei opened his heart and said, the premonition still became a reality, and at the same time regretted not telling Li Xin about his thoughts......
