Ning Yuan, a large number of convoys drove into this fortified city outside the pass.

Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, took everyone above the general level of the Guanning Army to greet him.

This convoy was personally escorted by Sun Chuanting, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

"The ministry has worked hard all the way, hurry up and take a break." Yuan Chonghuan smiled and said to Sun Chuanting: "The old man has prepared thin wine, it is cold in Liaodong, let's drink two glasses to warm up." ”

Sun Chuanting politely returned the salute, but he did not appreciate Yuan Chonghuan's invitation.

"Your Majesty has a holy decree, as soon as the money and grain enter the Ningyuan Salary Division, it will be distributed immediately, Emperor Sun does not dare to delay his life, and I hope the superintendent will forgive me."

"Since it is a holy oracle, it should be quick and urgent." Yuan Chonghuan didn't dare to slack off, but then said: "But the ministry, this silver is pension silver, isn't all the pension money from the imperial court to the families of the soldiers who died in the war, why did it send it to the army this time?"

The list of the names of the fallen soldiers, my Ning Yuan Salary Division has already prepared, just follow the map and send someone to distribute it. ”

What Yuan Chonghuan said is indeed this truth, the pension silver can't be collected in person, the imperial court escorted the pension silver into Ningyuan, and finally sent someone to distribute it, there is no need to enter the barracks more procedures.

In the face of Yuan Chonghuan's remarks, Sun Chuanting smiled and insisted: "This is all what Your Majesty meant, and the superintendent still doesn't want to say it again." ”

Yuan Chonghuan had no choice but to nod: "Yes, Your Majesty's holy decree, we and others who are courtiers should obey it, then, the ministry please." ”

"Inspector first, please."

The two have the same character, Yuan Chonghuan also holds the title of secretary of the military department, and also holds the actual position of the governor of Liaodong, Sun Chuanting is very polite to him.

"The ministry has a holy oracle, it is an angel, where does Chonghuan dare to walk in front of the angel, or the ministry invites first."

Sun Chuanting was still polite: "This is Ning Yuan, the superintendent is the host, the superintendent is please." ”

"The whole world is not the king's land, Chonghuan is just a person who guards the territory for His Majesty, why come to the host to say, angel please."

After some politeness, Sun Chuanting couldn't resist Yuan Chonghuan, so he could only take the lead and enter the Guanning army camp with the convoy escorting the pension silver.

More than 1,000 carts and more than 5,000 boxes were unloaded into the open space of the school yard.

When it opens, it shines with silver light.

Not to mention the ordinary soldiers who were summoned here, even generals in high positions like Yuan Chonghuan would subconsciously attract all their attention.

More than 5,000 boxes almost surrounded the school yard in half a circle, and the inside was covered with layers of silver ingots weighing sixteen taels each.

Sun Chuanting raised the bright yellow silk silk with one hand and drank heavily.

"Read the oracle."

Dozens of brocade-clothed guards rode and galloped while repeating aloud: "Read the holy message." ”

40,000 Guanning soldiers knelt on one knee in unison, including Yuan Chonghuan and others behind Sun Chuanting.

"Long live my emperor."

Sun Chuanting unfolded the decree and read it.

"Wei Ming Chongzhen moved in the first year, I, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was examined, and I sent angels. Enjoying the affairs of the old king, the Ming Dynasty general school heroic spirit said:

This bloody battle in Jinzhou was caused by the provocation of the slaves, the tail of the dragon to raise the demons, and the wolf heart to steal the wolf's heart.

The public was in trouble, in order to prevent the danger of the whole world, so as to prevent the poison of the wolf, the blood of the fertile soil, and the fate of the pool wall.

The soldiers are all heroes of Kyushu; Bureaucrats and generals are all heroes from all over the world. You may be hit by the arrows, and the soul will drown in the spring; or be wounded by the sword, and return to the long night.

If you are born, you will be brave, and if you die, you will become famous. Thou art and the soul of the heroes are still there, and prayers will be heard.

Follow me to raise the flag, chase my parts, return to the kingdom together, and recognize each of them to their hometown. Steamed by flesh and bones, led by the sacrifice of the family, do not be a ghost in a foreign land, but a soul in a foreign land.

I should show my merits, in the ancestral temple, you and other families are full of grace, give food and clothing every year, give you a month, and repay you with this to comfort your heart.

The living are both majestic and mighty, and the dead are also returned to the king, chatting about Dancheng and paying tribute to Chen. Woohoo is still feasting. ”

After reciting this sacrificial text, Sun Chuanting closed the holy decree and took out a piece of the military department.

"Follow the story of the country, the military department customized, this time to compensate the souls of the dead, the martyrs, will be paid five years of silver and discounted grain and silver, by the comrades, fellow comrades-in-arms on behalf of the leader, Chongzhen on December 11 in Ningyuan, the military department Shangshu Sun Chuanting issued!"

The big-headed soldiers may not understand the previous sacrifice, but the latter sentence is clear, and then they understand everything when they think of the silver surrounding the school field.

The imperial court came to distribute the pension money to the dead soldiers.

It's not in vain anymore!

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

First, there was a deafening chant of long live, and then sporadic cries began to be heard.

Sun Chuanting gritted his teeth, held back his emotions, and waved his hand.

"Pai Yin!"

Dozens of military department clerks picked up the roster of fallen soldiers and began to distribute silver on the spot, and Sun Chuanting also returned to his seat, Yuan Chonghuan asked.

"Many soldiers have long since broken their homes, and they are alone, so where will this money go?"

"Then the money will be spent in the army." Sun Chuanting said: "Buy this silver for wine, meat, and food, and buy it for winter clothes and cotton armor, and the three armies will wear their armor and eat their food, and they will die for life and death." ”

The generals were moved, and their eyes were red.

-----------------

The pension silver of the Ming Dynasty was issued by the Ministry of War, and then sent to the soldier's home by the post station, which was a regular process.

Like this time, it was distributed in the barracks, led by his former comrades-in-arms, which was completely Zhu Youzhen's meaning after consideration.

Most of the soldiers and soldiers in Guanning were from Liaodong, and the proportion of those from Guannei was very small, and Liaodong, except for Ningjin, had all fallen to Houjin, so there was no sending to their hometown.

Even many soldiers may not have any more families alive.

To whom is this money for?

It is said that there is no need to send it, the court just stays to save a lot of silver, which is also the meaning of Zhu Youzhen, and the court does not keep the silver that no family can bear, all of them are left in the Guanning army, and left to the comrades of the fallen before their deaths.

Add two more winter clothes and eat more wine and meat.

Life and death!

Is it appropriate to distribute so much cash at once?

Zhu Youzhen is not from the Department of Finance, and he does not dare to claim to be proficient, but in his previous life, there was a department called the Policy Research Office under his authority, which was full of elite and high-achieving students in various industries, and his duty was to study the feasibility of various government policies.

Under the influence of ears and eyes, I still have to understand a little more than the ancients of this time and space.

The cash was issued entirely because it was possible that the imperial court was still planning to discuss financial knowledge with the soldiers of the Guanning Army?

It is natural for soldiers to eat food, and it is also natural for soldiers to pay compensation for the dead.

Your court doesn't issue pensions, and talks about financial knowledge, economic regulation and deflation, and we big-headed soldiers?

If you don't want to send it, don't send it, where are so many excuses.

The army system is straightforward and simple, it doesn't need so many bells and turns, either send money or don't send money, it's as simple as that.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen cannot pretend to be smart in front of the army.

Self-righteousness and erudition will only make the army more alienated.

Bi Ziyan also knew such a simple truth, so he, as the head of the country's household department, never stopped Zhu Youzhen from beginning to end.

As for whether such a large amount of cash entering Ningjin and sending it to the families of the dead will lead to the collapse of people's livelihood prices in the Ningjin area, it will be necessary for the imperial court to help Ning Jin in the back.

The soldiers who are still alive only care a little.

It's this money, whether the court has sent it or not!
