How to say, this time it was also a big victory, so who is not happy?

In the second half of the night, they became apprehensive, and they didn't know if the general named Zhu Changwu would count if he spoke.

Among them, there are many people who have killed people, and they have a lot of ears in their pockets, and they want to go back and redeem rewards. But what if people don't admit it?

Don't think that such a thing won't happen, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, anything strange could happen in the Ming army.

For example, if you win a battle and are punished, the reason is that the loss of troops is too great, and you don't give gifts to those ministers.

For example, if you lose a battle, you will be praised, the reason is very simple, just send money to Wenchen, and it will be said that you have preserved your strength and can fight again in the future.

In the chaotic era, there is no so-called victory or defeat at all, what can be decided is just the mouth of the ministers.

And what about a real victory like them, they are just ordinary soldiers, if the officials don't give them a reward, what can they do?

In the midst of such doubts, when more than 10,000 Ming soldiers were woken up in the morning, many of them still had red eyes, obviously not sleeping well.

"Let's go, go back to Beijing." Wu Linzheng, the general commander of the city, looked at the performance of the soldiers below one by one, and sighed in his heart and said. In fact, even he himself didn't know what kind of treatment he would receive when he went back.

As a veteran general, Wu Linzheng has seen a lot of injustices, and he has already become numb.

What if you win the battle? In his opinion, even if he can't receive any rewards when he goes back, it's normal, at least he won't be surprised.

The team walked on the official road like this, and everyone lowered their heads and kept silent, giving people a very depressing feeling.

Just as the team was slowly coming in the direction of Beijing City, a horse was coming from far and near, heading straight for the direction where the team was.

"It's Jinyiwei." Hu Yunfeng's eyes were excellent, and he spoke before others could react.

"Oh, let's stop then." After hearing this, Wu Linzheng stopped his horse and sat at the front of the team with Ji Jinkai, Lou Heyang, Liang Jun and Hu Yunfeng, waiting for the arrival of Jinyiwei on horseback.

The speed of the war horse was very fast, and it was less than a hundred breaths, so he came to the front of the Ming army, followed the brocade guard and dismounted, hugged his fists to Wu Linzheng and the others, and said: "The general has prepared food in the city, as well as all the rewards for the officers and soldiers, now please line up to enter the city." ”

"What did you say?" Wu Linzheng didn't seem to hear clearly, and asked again.

"The general said that everything has been prepared, including food and rewards, and now invite the triumphant army to enter the city and receive the congratulations and celebrations of the people of the city." Jin Yiwei repeated it again, this time, the voice was much louder than just now.

The sound swayed with the wind and drifted far away, so that many soldiers could hear it very clearly. After a moment of silence, there was an earth-shattering roar, and then many Ming soldiers became excited.

The general actually prepared everything and waited for them to enter the city.

It is said that the food and rewards are ready.

By the way, it is also said that there are people waiting to congratulate themselves, which... This is enough to prove that the great general did not lie to them.

"Oh, hahaha, okay, great. In this case, you go back and report to the general first, and we will come in a hurry. At this moment, Wu Linzheng's face was full of joy.

Zhu Changwu did not abandon them, but did what he said, which is great. In this way, the efforts of the soldiers will be rewarded. In this way, when there is the next big war, everyone may kill the enemy, do their best, and even shed their blood for the Ming Dynasty.

Since Zhu Changwu has done a lot of work, of course they have to express themselves. "Come, all the soldiers, cheer up 100% spirit, we will march back to Beijing with our heads held high. By the way, don't you have a lot of loot? Come, take it in your hands, or hang it on your body, and let the people of Beijing see that we are a strong army that can fight and protect their safety. ”

Wu Linzheng still has a set, at least he knows how to cooperate with Zhu Changwu, as soon as he gave such an order, the soldiers below quickly took action, one ear was taken out of their arms, followed by some held in their hands, and some killed too many enemies, so they simply pinned their ears to their bodies, so that they looked like a multi-eared person.

But it was not funny at all, because almost all of these soldiers were stained with blood, and most of them belonged to the enemy, not their own. It was with these blood stained on their bodies that they added a sense of slaughter, and also made others dare not underestimate them in the slightest.

With the rushing army, he quickly changed his spirit, followed by the army straightened his waist and walked straight to the Changyi Gate in the outer city of Beijing, which was less than ten miles away.

On the huge square in front of Changyi Gate, there are indeed a lot of people gathered here, and there are many pots, and the white rice in it is churning and bubbling with aroma.

After Zhu Changwu came out of the Jinyiwei dungeon, he came here and saw a busy scene.

Zhang Ao, who is already the head of the Criminal Department, is taking some brocade guards to inspect the work at this time, especially the people who come to watch, they must stand in line, do not crowd, and after the victorious army returns to the division, what kind of slogans will they shout.

Zhu Changwu came over, and after Zhang Ao saw it, he hurriedly ran over, "Childe, what do you think?" Is there anything else that needs to be improved? ”

"Yes, well done." Zhu Changwu nodded with great satisfaction when he saw that although the square was still a little messy, there were no incidents of crowding and hurting people. "By the way, who are these people looking for?"

Hearing Zhu Changwu praise himself for doing a good job, Zhang Ao felt that his bones were lighter, and when he asked about these people again, he smiled and said: "Yes, Gongzi, these are all people found by merchants, I told them that if they want us to buy their food, then they have to cooperate with us to do things." Childe didn't know, these merchants didn't refuse at all after hearing this, especially after learning that our Ming army had won, they took the initiative to increase the number of people who came to watch the ceremony, you see, the number of people here is far more than we originally expected. ”

Last night, Zhu Changwu talked to Zhang Ao about how to welcome the triumphant army.

For an army to be used by the country, the first thing is to have enough loyalty and a strong sense of identity with the country.

A grand enough welcome ceremony can better stimulate the spirit, and it will naturally give birth to a sense of honor. With these foundations, as long as the method of leading the troops is correct, a strong army that is sincere enough will really appear in front of everyone.

Zhu Changwu had ideas, but he didn't know what kind of views and impressions the people of the Ming Dynasty had on the army at this time. In order to prevent the embarrassing situation that no one cares about when the army returns to the division, his request to Zhang Ao is that he should tell the merchants to buy grain at the same time, and whoever can "invite" enough people to watch will buy whose grain.

This is another kind of exchange of interests.

matter, he ordered it to go down, but Zhu Changwu didn't know if Zhang Ao could do it well, or he didn't know if these businessmen were willing to cooperate.

The fear is that all the merchants will refuse together, in this case, they still have to buy the grain, but the people are gone, then it is not fun. When the time comes, if only he brings a group of brocade guards to welcome the return of the army, won't it become a joke?

It's just that what Zhu Changwu didn't expect was that Zhang Ao did things so successfully, and these businessmen were so sensible, not only did no one object, but on the contrary, they fully cooperated, and looked at the crowds around the square now, which was far more than he imagined before.

Speaking of which, that's where businessmen come in.

Don't look at Li Zicheng's slogan that the king will not pay for food, which attracted the people to welcome him, but in fact, whoever believes this sentence is the real big fool.

If a regime does not have tax revenues, then what will it rely on to continue?

The most basic question is, the state has no taxes, what does the army use to feed them, and what do so many staff members give them money?

Can everyone not eat or drink, and can everyone be selfless?

Don't be funny, what can a regime that has solved even its own life solve all kinds of problems for the whole country? Therefore, this is clearly just a slogan, when you are really helpless, just shout and shout, if you take it seriously, you will be unlucky.

The merchants are shrewd, they naturally see this, so they are actually very resistant to the thieves, in fact, in history, the Dashun army entered the city of Beijing, the merchants were indeed unlucky, I don't know how many people were robbed and ruined.

They clearly saw the truth, but the fact was that the Ming army was really weak, and even if they wanted to support the Ming army, they couldn't find any better way. Do you donate money directly? Don't be funny, the facts will prove that the money will not fall into the pockets of ordinary soldiers at all, but directly into the pockets of those generals and civil servants who can manage them.

This led to the fact that they didn't know what to do if they wanted to contribute, but now that Zhang Ao found them and said what they wanted to do, they keenly found that this seemed to be an opportunity to do things for the army.

And there is no need to pay anything at all, only to inform the people who often come to their stores to buy food, tell them that there is such a thing, and let them join in the fun. How do you say that, those who have money hold a money field, and those who don't have money hold a personal field.
