Chapter 225: Two Taels of Silver (One Change)
Wealth is in danger, but there must be someone.
There is no one without everything, on the contrary, with people there will be everything, this is Chongzhen's humanistic thought.
What's more, he is now an official and makes a wish, unlike the previous Chongzhen, no one is restrained.
Chongzhen can come with his mouth open, he doesn't need to go through the cabinet and the ministry, what court pushes, approval of red, these complicated procedures don't need to have, and now he has absolute imperial power.
Those notorious civilian-bureaucratic cliques, not to mention that they are not in front of them, even if they are in front of them, they can't control him.
After more than a day, all 30,000 horses were reorganized.
During this period, Chongzhen naturally did not forget to pour chicken soup for these newly incorporated generals, drink with them at the same table, chat with them, and ask for warmth, these pro-people actions must be indispensable.
In addition, there is the most critical point, Chongzhen issued them a food salary in time, first of all, to ensure that they have enough to eat, they are all food soldiers, there is food in their mouths, and they are not panicked.
Next, they began to pay their military salaries, Gu Shunyi took the brocade guards to line up a long table, and Chongzhen and Wang Chengen supervised on the spot.
Boxes of heavy silver were carried to the table, and when the lid of the box was opened, the silver was shining.
There are several brocade guards in charge of each table, some standing and some sitting, some carrying silver, some counting silver, and some taking the roll call of the roster, in an orderly manner.
For these 20,000 newly recruited villagers, the others have just been paid a military salary, and of course they cannot be paid repeatedly.
The battalions lined up in a long line to receive the silver, and Chongzhen took Wang Chengen from this table to that table, from this team to that team, and watched these recruits receive the silver.
Each ordinary soldier can receive two taels of silver, and of course those with high positions can receive more.
But two taels of silver is not a small amount, the cavalry of the Guanning army is only two taels per month, and the infantry has not received two taels, and they are often in arrears, and they are delayed for several months.
In addition, there are bosses who deprive and deduct, and even fewer are sent to them.
Now Chongzhen distributes military salaries like this, and it is directly distributed to the soldiers, and the emperor and eunuchs are supervising by the side, and no one dares or has the opportunity to do anything inside.
They have just been transferred from Xiangyong to the regular army of the imperial court, and they can get two taels of silver in the month, of course, they are dancing happily.
Chongzhen saw with his own eyes that after receiving the silver in his hands, he put it in his mouth and bit it like a treasure, and then looked at it carefully, and then he suffered from gains and losses......
Chongzhen is happier than in their hearts, it is indeed Qian Tongshenlu!
Anyway, now Chongzhen is not short of silver.
Take the military rations and silver given to him by Li Zicheng to buy the hearts of the army, this business can be done!
After this series of operations, the 20,000 people who came over from Xintoucheng were grateful, and completely pinned their net worth and life on Chongzhen's body.
The 30,000 horse army is as stable as a rock, and none of them have two hearts.
Now Chongzhen has a complete set of soldiers and horses around him, 30,000 new troops are divided into six battalions, 500 brocade guards and new troops, in addition to the eunuch Wang Chengen, there are acquired masters and congenital masters.
In addition to the absence of heavy weapons, it basically has the conditions for the operation of large armies.
This time, Chongzhen felt that his waist was straighter, and he was no longer like before, playing the commander of the light pole at every turn.
However, at this time, Wu Sangui of Shanhaiguan was a little unable to sit still.
He gave up such an important city to Tang Tong and Bai Guangen, but he didn't see these two generals come to visit him for more than a day.
"It's too fucking disgraceful, isn't it?" Wu Sangui scolded angrily directly, "Do you want Ben Jue to invite him personally? What a fucking stinky shelf, aren't they just two general soldiers!"
But Wu Sangui had to send someone to invite them, because they had to discuss the military situation, and the two had to be directly involved. So he sent his subordinate Zhang Guozhu to a piece of stone to invite Tang Tong and Bai Guangen.
Zhang Guozhu had just left on his front foot, and a scout came to report that the Dashun army had passed through Yongping Mansion, and the team of the forward Liu Zongmin was less than 100 miles away from Guancheng.
However, Wu Sangui felt puzzled, he sent 20,000 Xiangyong, how could the meat buns beat the dog and there was no return, it has been two days.
Only defeat is not allowed to win, this battle is not good?
It's time to climb back!
Even the great strategist Fang Guangchen felt speechless, it seems that these villagers are not as good as the regular army, they are really unreliable.
Gao Di couldn't sit still, because his generals didn't come back, was there something wrong? Hurry up and send someone to investigate.
Soon there was news that Tianxiang Yong fought a battle with the Dashun army before yesterday, and the army was defeated like a mountain, but after the rout retreated, it was ambushed again, and the whole army was annihilated.
Wu Sangui, Gao Di and the others widened their eyes, and 20,000 horses were reimbursed like this, no wonder there was no news for so long, and even the deputy chief soldier Leng Yundeng was captured and captured?
Wu Sangui had to ask, "Whose men and horses ambushed Leng Yundeng?"
The scout who reported the news hurriedly said, "If you go back to your uncle, it is under the banner of Tang Tong and Bai Guangen, and it should be done by the two of them."
"How is that possible, it's just nonsense!"
Wu Sangui was furious, how could Tang Tong and Bai Guangen ambush his men, they were sure that this kid was lying and untrue.
Wu Sangui immediately gave the order, tied up the scouts, and pushed them out to be beheaded!
