The efficiency of the imperial court was still very high, and on June 14 the first class was sent to the capital on June 16, and on June 19, the will to reward was down.

The one who came from the military department was Nakae Kazuzuru, an old bureaucrat with a beard longer than his hair, and his face was obviously visible with old age spots, but he walked in good spirits, and when he spoke, he was full of energy, and he didn't look old at all.

The Wuxuan Division and the Ministry of Officials' Wenxuan Division, the Examination Division and the City Department are known as the four major fat shortages. As the name suggests, the Wu Xuan Division is naturally responsible for the promotion of military generals across the country, so although Jiang Yihe is a year old, no one in Jinzhou City looks down on him, especially those military generals, who are sent to the door with generous gifts. Jiang Yihe was also not polite, and accepted it all. However, the little eunuch who came to read the 10,000 taels of military decree allocated by Chongzhen was much more incorruptible, and only accepted the fifty taels of silver Cheng Yi from Governor Qiu, and in addition, he did not receive any filial piety from any officials.

I don't know if Lu Dao was warned by his father-in-law above before he left Beijing, or if he was really not greedy for money, or if it was the first time he went out of Beijing, I don't know how Lu Dao made oil and water.

No one knows the answer, but these officials in Jinzhou are worried in their hearts, and they don't dare to make a mistake in front of the eunuch, lest this little father-in-law go back and talk nonsense.

Because the ancestor Dashou was in Dalinghe City, Jiang Yihe and the eunuch announced the holy decree in Jinzhou and did not go to Dalinghe City. I don't know if the two of them know that Lu Dao Dalinghe City is the front line, for fear that they will run into Jiannu head-on like Shi Dayong's Songshan army.

It was his younger brother Zu Dale who received the order for Zu Dashou, and it was also when he received the order that Shi Dayong met Zu Dashou's brother-in-law for the first time, Wu Sangui's father, Wu Xiang, the general soldier of Liaodong.

Wu Xiang is more than ten years younger than Zu Dashou, but he is in his thirties, and he is in the prime of life.

However, Shi Dayong was not interested in Wu Xiang, what he wanted to see was his son, but unfortunately Wu Sangui was still young, and he was in Ningyuan with his mother, not in Jinzhou.

Accompanying Zu Dale and Wu Xiang were Liu Zeqing, deputy commander-in-chief, Pei Guozhen, another brother-in-law of Zu Dashou, deputy general, and other Liaodong generals such as Zu Kuan, Xia Chengde, and Lu Pinqi.

In fact, there is also a general soldier in Jinzhou City, and this person is Song Wei, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan.

Song Wei is a native of Shanxi, originally a deputy general of Liaodong, Chongzhen two years of Shanhaiguan general Zhao led thousands of miles to aid the Beijing Division, but died in Tonghua, the military department Shangshu Liang Tingdong recommended Song Wei to take over the position of Zhao Shujiao, as the Shanhaiguan commander-in-chief.

The jurisdiction and defense line of the Shanhaiguan General Army are naturally in Shanhaiguan, but Song Wei brought 3,000 soldiers to Jinzhou last month, because Zu Dashou drew out the Jinzhou defenders in order to rebuild Dalinghe City, so Sun Chengzong ordered Song Wei and Wu Xiang to temporarily take over Jinzhou, in case Jinzhou is too empty and there is anything wrong.

Originally, Song Wei was also going to come to the governor's yamen to greet Qincha, but something happened in Daxingbao and he needed to deal with it. Military affairs were important, so he did not come to the governor's yamen, and specially asked someone to inform Qiu Hejia, and asked the governor to greet the Qin messenger on his behalf.

………

The reward is as announced by Chongzhen in the Qianqing Palace that night, Zu Dashou added the number of General Zhenwu, and shaded a son of Jinyi Wei Tongzhi, giving one hundred taels of gold and silver, one mink fur, one carved saddle, and one white horse.

General Zhenwu is a military officer, compared to the original forward general of the ancestor Dashou, who is famous but not real, just a general who is better than nothing.

One hundred taels of gold and silver is not a generous reward, the mink fur, carved saddle, and white horse are just showing the dignity of status, so the court's reward for Zu Dashou is equal to nothing.

When the decree was announced, Shi Dayong kept secretly looking at Zu Dale and Wu Xiang, and found that they were all stunned after listening to Zu Dashou's reward. Zu Dale was stunned for more than ten seconds before he came back to his senses and kowtowed three times, took the holy decree from the eunuch's hand, and when he turned around, his face was obviously a little uneasy. Obviously, these generals of the ancestral family have opinions about the reward given by the imperial court to Zu Dashou.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there are not a few governors with the title of imperial history and patrol all over the country, but with the imperial history of the left and right or the deputy governor of the imperial history, it is generally at the governor level.

Chongzhen gave Qiu Hejia a title of the right deputy of the Imperial Palace, plus he originally controlled the closed army, this is the actual governor of Liaodong, and he can be on an equal footing with Sun Chengzong's Jingluo.

Shi Dayong analyzed that Chongzhen did not really let go of what happened two years ago, and it may be that it is arranged out of the starting point of "using literature and martial arts", otherwise there is no way to explain that there is a difference between heaven and earth between the rewards of the two.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Zu Dashou is already the first military general in the Ming Dynasty, the governor of the left capital, the general soldier of the forward, and the general soldier of the forward, who has the most elite border soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Can you still be a prince or something? Definitely not, those loose officials are here to solve the problem that such conventional ways are not good to solve

Just thinking about it, the sharp voice of the eunuch sounded in his ears: "Songshan garrison Shi Dayong takes the order!" ”

Here it comes! Shi Dayong was excited, hurriedly took three steps forward, and knelt down: "Ministers Shi Dayong take the order!" ”

"Edict: Songshan garrison Shi Dayong is brave and brave, with the strength of an army to defeat the Jiannu elite cavalry, beheaded very huge, I am very relieved, promoted to Jinzhou general, give gold and silver fifty taels each, and give a sword, ten altars of wine, and the relevant generals of his department are also rewarded..."

"Thanksgiving!"

After receiving the holy decree from the eunuch's hand, someone on the side had already presented the general's robes, seals, and the imperial treasure knife, Shi Dayong took them one by one, and then retreated respectfully.

The eunuch then announced Chongzhen's holy decree of allocating ten thousand taels of troops from within, and after the announcement, everyone naturally shouted three times.

One tael of silver is about 100 yuan in the future, and 10,000 taels is 1 million yuan, which is a very rich reward.

Long live our emperor!

Shi Dayong said secretly sincerely, later generations often say that Chongzhen slammed the door, but now it seems that this is not necessarily the case.

However, nominally, the 10,000 taels of silver was given by the emperor to all the soldiers who participated in the war, and although Zu Dashou did not participate in the war at all, he could also share it on the surface. That's what he said, but Shi Dayong wasn't worried that Zu Dashou would be so shameless and would fight the idea of 10,000 taels of silver.

You must know that Lu Daozu receives hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the imperial court every year, and most of the land in western Liaoning is also in his hands, where can he see this mere ten thousand taels of silver. Besides, the Ministry of War also brought the reward silver allocated by the Ministry of Households, and there was no need for Zu Dashou to stretch out his hand to this 10,000 taels of silver, and spread the word, and his ancestor couldn't afford to lose this person.

Therefore, Shi Dayong was not worried at all that the 10,000 taels of silver would be shared. He was already in a hurry to have no money, but now that he has 10,000 taels, many things can be solved.

Silver, although not omnipotent, can solve people's great urgency

The decree is over, and the autumn wind that should be fought is almost done. Jiang Yihe smiled and said to the eunuch that he could go back to Beijing, the eunuch was afraid that it was really the first time to go out of Beijing, and he listened to this old man Jiang for everything along the way, and when he saw that everything was done, he nodded and agreed.

Jiang Yihe led the eunuch and Qiu Hejia, Wu Xiang, Zu Dale, Liu Zeqing, and Shi Dayong to say goodbye one by one, and then stepped on the carriage parked outside the governor's yamen and left the city. At the moment when the carriage turned, the little eunuch suddenly poked his head out of the carriage and found Shi Dayong in the crowd.

This look makes Shi Dayong inexplicable.

Xu knew the truth about the battle of Dalinghe in Lu Dao, or he couldn't let go of the shelf, Wu Xiang, Zu Dale, and Liu Zeqing said goodbye to Qiu Hejia after Qin Cha left, and never said a word to Shi Dayong, nor did they come to congratulate him. However, Zu Kuan and another general, Lu Pinqi, came to congratulate Shi Dayong with a smile, and after Shi Dayong was polite to them, several people also returned to the camp.

Shi Dayong was about to go back to the camp to see what was going on with Cao Bianjiao, but Qiu Hejia stopped him.

"The last general congratulates Lord Futai on his ascension!"

First congratulated Qiu Hejia on his ascension, and then Shi Dayong asked: "I don't know what happened to Lord Futai called the last general?" ”

"What?" Qiu Hejia smiled, pointed to the dozen or so silver boxes piled up in the governor's yamen, and quipped: "The emperor rewarded you with his own private silver Shi Dayong, what's the matter, you plan to give it to Ben Futai for nothing?" ”

Shi Dayong said solemnly: "If Lord Futai needs it, the one who will be filial will be the one who will be honored." ”

Shi Dayong's answer surprised Qiu Hejia a little, and said strangely: "I look at money like dung, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are more and more impressed by Ben Fu." ”

Shi Dayong still said very solemnly: "Back to Lord Futai, it's not that the last general doesn't like silver, it's just that the last general knows that this silver has a need for urgency, if Lord Futai wants to use this silver, it is a matter of urgency, so how can the last general keep it." ”

Qiu Hejia smiled, shook his head and said, "The silver allocated by the household department has been sent to the Daling River, and it will be distributed by Zu Shuai with you." The emperor said that it was a reward for you Songshan soldiers, so Benfu left it directly, and you will call someone to carry it back and distribute it to the soldiers. Benfu is not a profit-seeking person, and there is no urgent need for silver, how can he ask for the reward of the soldiers. You must know that this reward is the soldiers who exchanged their lives for it, and if Ben Fu reaches out and takes it, isn't he a wolf-hearted dog, and his back is going to be poked. ”

Speaking of this, the conversation changed and said: "But there is one thing that Ben Fu wants to tell you in advance, and you must know about the Dao." ”

Shi Dayong's body was slightly owed: "Lord Futai, please speak." ”

"The emperor's allocation is 10,000 taels, but as usual, it is necessary to deduct the norm. Benfu naturally wouldn't ask for this silver, but helplessly Jingli had already deducted it, and it was only six thousand taels here, but it was not really ten thousand taels. After speaking, Qiu Hejia looked helpless.

10,000 taels became 6,000 taels, and there was a loss of 4,000 taels at once, how could Shi Dayong not feel distressed. secretly scolded the bastards in Beijing, and even dared to deduct the emperor's private money, which was really a moth who saw the money. But he said calmly: "If you can have six thousand taels, the last general is already grateful for the emperor's grace, where do you dare to hope for more." Since it is a common practice, it is necessary to follow it, and there will be no opinion in the end. ”

Listening to Shi Dayong's words, Qiu Hejia couldn't help but sigh with emotion: This Shi Dayong is really a disgraced person. When Ma Shilong recommended him to me that day, I only said that he was a martial artist, but I didn't want to be a cadre. can bend and stretch, and know the weight and proportion, he has a bright future.

Seeing that Qiu Hejia had nothing to say, Shi Dayong was anxious to go back, so he said: "If Lord Futai has no other instructions, the last general will return to the camp." ”

"Go, go." Qiu Hejia smiled and waved his hand, thought of something again, and said busily: "Oh, by the way, listen to Xiao Cao, you want to build our Han people's Iron Floating Slaughter?" ”
