The first wind and rain drifted away

Emperor Chongzhen's words simply spoke to the hearts of all the soldiers present, and the effect was quite good, and the soldiers were moved to a mess.

Originally, the banquet of the Son of Heaven was already a great grace of the emperor, and it was something worth bragging about for a lifetime.

How do you know that now the emperor still says that he is ashamed of them and wants to compensate them?

Compensation is okay, it's a relief in the snow, and it's something to be happy about.

But how can the emperor be ashamed of them, isn't he being deceived by traitorous ministers?

The vulgar military men in the mouths of these courtiers have simple ideas, whoever is good to them will die for whomever they want.

In the mood of the soldiers, the drum music in the hall sounded, and dozens of Han generals came to them with baskets, covered with a layer of red cloth.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Huachun led more than a dozen eunuchs to their respective areas, uncovered the red cloth, and the silver ingots with white flowers in the basket were shining in front of the soldiers.

This was one of the compensation that Emperor Chongzhen gave them, and each of them was rewarded with two hundred taels of silver.

This is definitely a big deal!

Especially for them ordinary soldiers!

The hall was suddenly thunderous, and many soldiers once again left tears of happiness.

It's not easy!

Why are they desperately trying with their heads in their hands?

Don't fucking talk about loyalty and patriotism, it's too noble and too distant, they have to live first!

What's more, before this, they hadn't even seen the emperor, so how could they talk about loyalty to the monarch?

It's not for the money!

The other guards of the Ming Dynasty normally pay one or five cents of silver, and as a border army, they have two taels of silver per month, but they can only barely mix food and clothing.

That's it, it is still Cao Zongbing's righteousness, and he pays them full and full salary every month.

And this is also the reason why everyone has traveled thousands of miles to follow General Cao all the way.

Now, the emperor rewarded them with two hundred taels of silver in one go, which is the silver they have not eaten or drunk for nearly ten years, how can people not be excited?

How can people not swear allegiance to the emperor?

Therefore, the old thing Cao Huachun gave them a salary, and he always had to say in his mouth, the son of heaven is not easy, this is the time when the emperor saves from the inner treasury.

The soldiers nodded vigorously with tears in their eyes, and looked at Emperor Chongzhen's eyes with fanaticism.

In this situation, Emperor Chongzhen was a little embarrassed, and at the same time, he was a little complacent about his own means.

Sure enough, the most effective way to win people's hearts is money.

So, as soon as he made a move, he was a big deal!

Of course, this is for ordinary soldiers.

Like Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew, and the generals around them, just two hundred taels of silver is nothing, and everyone's price is different, and their pursuits are also different.

However, as the king of a country, he has all kinds of resources in his hands, and there are always things they want and need.

Seriously speaking, as an emperor, in fact, it is to allocate the resources in your hands reasonably, and gather the talents you need to do things around you, it's as simple as that.

The previous Emperor Chongzhen lost control of resources and became unrewardable, but was criticized for being mean and unkind, gradually losing people's hearts, and then losing the country.

"Passing the meal—"

In a group of joy, the silver was distributed to the soldiers as appetizers, and the feast of the Son of Heaven finally began.

And Emperor Chongzhen and Cao Wenzhao and other generals also returned to the front hall to sit down and began a banquet with the monarchs and ministers.

It can be clearly seen that today's Emperor Chongzhen is particularly happy, and frequently raises a toast, which flatters Cao Wenzhao and Daoyou.

After pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly said to Cao Wenzhao with a smile: "Cao Aiqing, I am ready to recruit you into the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, serve as the Right Governor, and reorganize the Shenji Battalion. ”

What the?

Cao Wenzhao, who still doesn't understand why the Son of Heaven is so fond of him, was once again blown up by Emperor Chongzhen's words, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

The right governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the official of Zhengyipin, led the right guard of the Beijing Tiger Ben, the right guard of the left guard, the right guard of the navy, the right guard of the navy, the Wude guard, and the Guangwu guard.

And led the Yunnan Division, Guizhou Division, Sichuan Division, Shaanxi Division, Guangxi Division, and the health office they led.

Now, it is also added as the Divine Machine Battalion of the Mighty Ming Dynasty.

What does it mean to climb to the sky in one step, this is it!

Cao Wenzhao shook his head, as if he wanted to dispel the drunkenness, but he only drank a few glasses, and he didn't have the intention of drinking, and he didn't hear it wrong.

Moreover, Cao Bianjiao and Zhang Yunfu on the opposite side also nodded to him with ecstatic expressions, proving that it was indeed what the emperor said.

"Your Majesty, the status of the last general is humble, and I am afraid that the sons and daughters of the nobles in Beijing will be difficult to control."

After a while, under the gaze of Emperor Chongzhen, Cao Wenzhao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and expressed his heartfelt appreciation.

Not bad!

What I want is your serious attitude, not carried away by joy, and have a future!

Cao Wenzhao is just an ordinary general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no fixed rank, and there is no specific number of troops.

His position is like an ordinary division commander in later generations. And the right governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is the commander of the group army, and he still belongs to the top level of the garrison capital.

And this position has always been the self-camp of the nobles of the capital.

If there are no special circumstances, as he said, he really can't suppress those noble sons and daughters who serve as middle- and lower-level generals.

However, this position is yours, and this is my decision.

"Oh, Cao Aiqing, who terrified the enemy, was also afraid? Could it be that the rumors are wrong? ”

Emperor Chongzhen tilted his head, with a cheap smile on his face, deliberately provoking Cao Wenzhao.

"Your Majesty, fighting on the battlefield, the last general has never been afraid. But I'm afraid of stabbing people with soft knives, and I can't prevent it, which makes people nest. ”

Cao Wenzhao held his head high and replied unwillingly. It's just that there is obviously a hint of pride in his tone.

"Okay, this is the fierce general in my heart!"

Emperor Chongzhen applauded, looked at Cao Wenzhao with murderous anger on his face and said domineeringly: "I will help you block the soft knife, Aiqing will only do things and help me re-establish the former famous Shenji Battalion." ”
