Chapter 381: Succession (21)

Looking at the people gathered together, Meng Zhi, the general of Zhenguo, only stood far away for a while before returning to the big tent, his eyes were deep and calm, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

The military advisor Huaiyuan was already waiting in the tent, and the two did not despise the upcoming queen mother.

Being able to sit in the position of General Zhenguo in his first year, Meng Zhi will never underestimate anyone, even a woman.

"General, this time the Queen Mother came, I'm afraid that she has another purpose."

The cruelty of the harem is no better than the battlefield, and it can win a beautiful turnaround battle in the huge harem, and let the new emperor allow it to listen to the government, but I am afraid that the ability is not small.

"It doesn't matter what her purpose is, the military camp is the military camp, even if the Queen Mother comes, it is the rules of the military camp, this is the battlefield, not a pickled ground for infighting."

Meng Zhi's voice did not fluctuate, and Huai Yuan knew it in his heart.

If the queen mother really just came to offer condolences and then left, everyone would be happy, if she wanted to meddle in the affairs of the military camp, I was afraid that the general would not agree.

……

Qiao Shi didn't know anything about the things in the camp, and arrived in Yuzhou in the afternoon of the second day after setting off from Liuzhou, Yuzhou City is a border city, which is much more desolate than other state cities, but it is more magnificent than other state cities.

The camp is less than twenty miles away from Yuzhou City, and it takes only a quarter of an hour to ride a horse.

Maybe it's because of the incident in Liuzhou City, the big and small officials in Yuzhou treat Qiao Shi's arrival with all respect, regardless of whether they usually make mistakes or not, no one dares to make a mistake at this time.

The Queen Mother who cuts people if she doesn't agree with her is the first time they have seen it, even if they are on the fold, they are afraid that they will be unlucky in the end.

Qiao Shi didn't let other officials come over, but just let the prefect of Yuzhou receive him.

Because Yuzhou City is close to the big camp, it can also understand the dynamics of the army in real time, so all aspects of the forces in Yuzhou City can be related to the capital, such as the son of a certain squire, the concubine of Shangshu, the nephew of a scholar and so on.

They may not need the information, but they must have it.

Nowadays, among some of the princes left by the emperor, except for those who are too young, the too mediocre ones are casually given the identity of a prince, given an idle position, and the ones who are safe and secure do not harm the people.

Now the prince who has real power in his hands is only the original eighth prince, and now the Duanwang.

King Duan is honest, he didn't stretch his hand too long, but there are one or two princes, his ability is not good, and his hand is very long.

For these long-standing problems, Qiao Shi was lazy and directly repaired a letter to Ningyang.

When the time comes, it will be up to him to decide what he says.

Looking at Qiao Shi from time to time looking at various materials, the prefect of Yuzhou looked at the big knife beside Qiao Shi, only to feel that his heart was pounding wildly, and he kept thinking about whether he had done anything wrong.

Although this queen mother looks young and weak, he has heard that this tiger who can shake a big knife weighing dozens of pounds is powerful, and he can cut off people's heads without stagnation.

It's simply a living Hades.

Such a fierce queen mother, if she felt that he had done something wrong, would she cut off his head without hesitation?

"Governor Qian, what are you shivering about?"

Qiao Shi closed the booklet and looked at the prefect of Yuzhou who was sitting down, feeling strange in his heart.

She just read a booklet, although the prefect of Yuzhou has no great achievements, but it is also remarkable to be an official, seeing that she is so scared, didn't she do anything unseemly?

Thinking of this, a flash of suspicion flashed in Qiao Shi's eyes, could it be that there was something that had not been found out?

The prefect of Yuzhou was said by Qiao Shi, and he just looked up, and he saw all the bottom of Qiao Shi's eyes at a glance, only to feel that a coldness annihilated him, and he seemed to have everything in his hands.

The prefect of Yuzhou knelt on the ground with a plop, and just when Qiao Shi felt that there was really something wrong with this person, he saw that the prefect of Yuzhou was holding back for a long time, and his face was red, so he muttered and spoke.

"The Queen Mother, Weichen really can't think of what Weichen's fault is? Please also ask the Queen Mother to make it clear. ”

Joe: "......"

When did she ask him what was wrong?

She just asked how he was trembling like that.

Qiao Shi took a deep breath, walked in front of the prefect of Yuzhou and helped the person up.

"Governor Qian is doing a good job, don't be careful, the mourning family just asked casually."

Qiao Shi smiled kindly, and the prefect of Yuzhou retreated tremblingly, obviously not believing it.

Qiao Shi helplessly supported his forehead, and the next day he took General Yang and others to the camp.

Her purpose this time is the camp.

Although the emperor gave Qiao Shi the right to be no less than General Zhenguo this time, it was under the banner of condolences, and he always wanted to express his condolences.

As for condolences......

Qiao Shi really couldn't say anything about sensational condolences.

Since he had been notified in advance before coming, when he arrived at the camp, all the soldiers were ready.

There are not so many rules in the barracks, and Qiao Shi has already explained everything to simplicity before he came.

Standing on the high platform, Qiao Shi looked at the straight army standing below, and a sense of pride arose in his heart, for some reason, just standing here, this emotion was about to overflow his chest.

After suppressing this emotion, Qiao Shi didn't have those stinking and long nonsense like footcloths.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he said: "Standing here today, I only want to say four words, protect the family and defend the country......"

Meng Zhi's eyelids on the side didn't move, he had heard this kind of condolence countless times, it might be an incentive for the recruits, but it was useless for them.

The flatbread painted above, how many can be received, you don't see how many sons are buried around the pass, even the bones no longer exist, relatives can only get three or five taels of thin silver, and even this bit of silver can not be obtained, for relatives who died on the battlefield, they can only rely on their fellow villagers to talk or ...... I didn't even know.

However, Qiao Shi's next words made Meng Zhi's eyelids rise.

“…… Defending the country is our Daning Dynasty, but at the same time, it is also the small family of all of us, you can't lose the country because of the small family, but you can't let you lose your home for the sake of the country, the emperor has specially formulated regulations for this.

Anyone who sacrifices his life for the country shall set up a martyr's monument in his hometown, and his name shall be engraved on the monument, and a minimum of 1,000 taels of silver shall be paid, and the tax shall be exempted for three years.

The emperor also knows that this thousand taels is far from worth the lives of my soldiers, and your lives can't be bought back with any amount of silver!

It's just that at present, the country is eaten by moths, and it needs to be governed for a long time, and there is only so much that can be taken out, and there is nothing comparable to the status of you soldiers in the emperor's heart, without you, there will be no entire Daning ......"

"In addition, whoever kills a soldier of the enemy country will be rewarded with ten taels of silver; One captain, thirty taels of silver; 10 captains, 50 taels of silver; 100 captains, 500 taels of silver, 1,000 captains, 2,000 taels of silver, 10,000 captains, 5,000 taels of silver......"

Qiao Shi's tone was not too sensational, but the eyes of all the soldiers present were slightly red.

Many people want to serve the country, but there are many more people who are only exempt from taxes during enlistment, and the one or two taels of silver they can get when they enlist in the army.

But they never thought that when the new emperor ascended the throne, they were the first to do so.

It was also the first time that they were told that their lives were incomparable to silver......

Huai Yuan, who was not far away, opened his mouth slightly, his eyes full of incredulity.

Regardless of whether the new emperor is trying to win over the border soldiers, the price is too great, once there is a big war, the silver spent by the imperial court will be a terrifying amount, and the tax revenue for a year is far from enough, where does the confidence come from!
