Nanyuan was brightly lit, and after ten thousand people were brought here, Yang Fan immediately fulfilled his promise.
Ten thousand people stood in darkness in the square inside Nanyuan. Yang Fan stood on the makeshift platform and began to lecture.
This place had previously dealt with the eunuch's internal affairs, and at that time the eunuchs were transferred to Nanyuan for training.
It has been more than a year since Nanyuan was converted into a military camp. Everything such as military camps, checkpoints, and school fields are ready-made.
"Please come up to the top ten." Yang Fan said.
Yang Fan personally opened a row of boxes on the stage one by one under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Under the strong light of the carbide lamp, the snow-white silver ingot shone brightly, causing everyone in the audience to take a breath of air-conditioning.
It’s not because the money is too dazzling, it’s because they are too poor.
The last time military pay was issued was one month after His Majesty ascended the throne. At that time, in order to celebrate the universal celebration, each person was given two taels of silver.
Since then, military pay has been in arrears.
This year, there was a severe drought at the beginning of spring. All the seeds that were planted were dried up. As a result, the price of food this year has skyrocketed. Rice has increased from five cents of silver per load to twenty taels of silver. Miscellaneous grains have also risen to seven or eight cents of silver per load.
Already.
Many families can no longer afford to eat. The whole family is extremely worried. They don’t know how they will survive tomorrow.
Seeing these pieces of silver, everyone was salivating.
Everyone is praying that this time the officials can keep their word and fulfill their promises.
The first place, Yang Fan, personally handed out 300 taels of silver. Then the second and third place, just as promised, without any discount. Then the remaining top ten people also handed out money in public.
There was a sudden burst of joy below, and everyone was in high spirits.
It's useless what the officials say. Only when they see money being distributed will everyone believe it.
At this time, everyone was ecstatic. It seemed that this time was not in vain. Unexpectedly, there were real benefits.
At first, they were all dubious. But the family really couldn't get rid of the problem, so they tried their luck as a dead horse and a live doctor.
The superior officers didn't even close the gate to stop them. They jumped over walls and drilled holes. Anyway, in normal times, they all had their own ways of running out of the military camp to do business and find work.
There's no use closing the door this time, it won't stop them at all.
Those ten pounds of cornmeal are really too tempting.
They are not ordinary people registered in the household registration. They do not have household allowances and cannot apply for grain books. Without grain books, they do not have food stamps. They cannot usually buy cheap food purchased with food stamps.
This time, everyone was tempted by the offer of ten kilograms of cornmeal as long as they went there. At this time, food was more tempting than anything else.
Then the first 100 people and everyone else received the money.
Everyone was very happy. They were carrying ten kilograms of cornmeal in small food bags and carrying money in their arms. They were preparing to go home in a noisy manner.
At this time, more than 3,000 cavalrymen suddenly came out from the darkness and sealed the school grounds on all sides.
Seeing the cavalry coming out, the soldiers in the Beijing camp were a little panicked. They didn't know what was going on.
They are all soldiers. One look at these cavalry and you can tell that they are very elite and murderous. They must have come from the battlefield.
"Your Majesty has your decree," shouted the shrill voice of a eunuch.
Everyone hurriedly knelt down and cheered, and from the stage they could see a darkened head.
"We have selected 10,000 elite soldiers from the capital camp and will be stationed in Nanyuan to train troops from now on. I appreciate this."
There was a bang below, like an explosion.
Unexpectedly, after coming to Nanyuan, they were not allowed to go back. They had to stay here to train troops. What is the purpose of training troops? It has been more than a hundred years since they were sent out to train troops.
Zhu Dadan and Zhao Yongtang were immediately dumbfounded. They were quite happy at first.
The official fulfilled his promise happily, which surprised them greatly.
It's not that they didn't know the virtues of Ming officials. Even famous generals like Li Rusong deceived them. They said they were being rewarded for being the first to reach Pyongyang City, but the result was nothing.
If the Minister of War had not personally issued the notice this time, no one would have believed it. Unexpectedly, this time, the credibility of these officials was really strong. However, they did not expect that there were other things waiting for them later.
Many people immediately began to beg, and they were all hired.
"Sir, I'm not from the Beijing camp. I'm a tofu seller. I live in Xiaozao Hutong, Zuo'anmen. You can't detain me."
"Sir, my pigs haven't been fed yet. I came here on behalf of others."
There was chaos immediately below, with groups of people trying to escape immediately with money and food.
Zhou Yuji took a step forward and said: "Those who pretend to be others and sneak into the capital camp will be punished on the spot."
There was a sudden silence down there. No one dared to speak anymore.
These officers do what they say. Everyone has seen it just now. Seeing is believing. If you are told to pay money, you will be given money, and you will not be short of a penny. Now they are saying that the impostors will be caught and beheaded, but no one
Bet they are bluffing.
Zhou Yuji continued to yell loudly: "I don't care how many of you here are imposters. You should think clearly for yourselves. According to military law, if you sneak into the military camp and defraud the military pay, you should be punished on the spot. If you don't want to be beheaded, just control yourself.
Don't talk nonsense in your mouth, otherwise you will lose your head."
Those who replaced him below were all dumbfounded.
It's over, I've jumped into the pit by myself.
I had long thought that these officials would not be so kind. I was blinded by money and food. Now I was doomed.
No one dared to make any noise.
"I'll leave this to you, is there any problem?" Yang Fan saw that the situation was under control and said to the generals guarding Qianhu Station.
"Commander, please rest assured. There is no problem. We will reorganize them and settle them down immediately. Commander, please rest assured." Zhou Yuji shouted loudly.
"Okay, I'll come to inspect in five days. I want to see a new army that looks like an army and has a fully organized structure."
"Here!"
Military training and the like are things that these officers have been doing for a long time. Previously, the court only provided the army with organizational structure, and other weapons and equipment.
The soldiers who guarded Qianhu Station were all recruited from the refugees. After this training, the officers were already familiar with how to train new soldiers.
Just treat these losers from the Beijing camp as new recruits.
More than 10,000 internal eunuch troops have been stationed here in Nanyuan. The barracks and other facilities here are ready-made. The part of the Nanyuan wall that originally collapsed has also been repaired. Once the four doors are closed, not even a dog can escape.
They just need to close the door and train. Yang Fan will provide them with supplies.
Yang Fan nodded, turned around and left.
He rode back to the city with his own soldiers, and the city gate would be closed soon.
When I left Dahongmen, the north gate of Nanyuan, I saw a large group of people holding torches and rushing towards Nanyuan.
Yang Fan hurriedly stopped an official from the Ministry of War and asked what was going on.
"Uncle Dingyuan, we have been ordered to lead 40,000 elite troops from the capital camp to station in Nanyuan, waiting for further orders."
"Whose order is this?" Yang Fan asked hurriedly.
Mobilizing troops in Gyeonggi Province is no small matter.
Bringing these 40,000 people to Nanyuan, Yang Fan is a fool and understands what Li Banghua is going to do.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him, and Yang Fan didn't want to worry about it.
But this matter was planned by Yang Fan, and now Li Banghua is making trouble.
He actually had a whim and wanted to take this opportunity to seize the nobles' military power.
Is he crazy? He's taking such big steps and he's not afraid of screwing up.
If this matter gets serious, Yang Fan will be implicated.
Yang Fan didn't like this feeling of losing control and felt that he was being fooled by Li Banghua.
"It's an order from Lord Li Shangshu of the Ministry of War."
"Where is Lord Shangshu now? I want to see him." Yang Fan suppressed his anger and asked calmly.
What he did was not authentic. The conditions negotiated before did not include this.
Yang Fan took away 10,000 elite soldiers, and he got the opportunity to find out the capital camp. Both sides got what they needed.
As for the future, His Majesty and Li Banghua have figured out the reality of the Beijing camp, and whatever they do has nothing to do with Yang Fan.
This was originally a two-move move, but Li Banghua wanted to move it in one move. In this way, Yang Fan was involved.
I really didn't realize that he was actually an opportunist. Yang Fan thought through gritted teeth.
Huh, no wonder he stopped pretending, the benefits are too great.
The secretary of the Ministry of War did not dare to offend Uncle Ding Yuan, so he raised his hands and said: "An hour ago, Master Shangshu went to the palace to face the saint. I don't know where he came from at this time."
Yang Fan tried hard to suppress his anger. This matter was already like this, and there was no point in getting angry.
Yang Fan waved his hand, indicating that the clerk could leave.
The clerk didn't know why Uncle Dingyuan was so angry, so he left quickly.
"Master, where are we going now?" Zhang Cheng asked.
"You can still go there, go home and sleep." Yang Fan said angrily.
No more today, will be updated tomorrow.
