Chapter 67 Beating (2)
"this......"
Zhu Di was directly asked by this. He was not confused, but stopped asking. He was just the kind of stopping that he wanted to say something but didn't know how to speak.
Because of this kind of thing, everyone has been aware of everything throughout the ages, so they have not made it clear.
"Actually, I didn't get a salary..."
"I believe this, I know that in your heart, money is not worth a break."
This is true. Compared with other vassal kings, this Emperor Yongle, who was originally in time and space, now the King of Yan has nothing out of the way in terms of money.
He doesn't love it, and he doesn't want to spend most of his energy and mind on wealth that he doesn't bring in life or death. In comparison, what he cares more about is merit.
"You are both the prince of the Ming Dynasty and the commander of the army. You don't want to do anything about drinking blood from soldiers. But if you don't do it, it doesn't mean that your subordinates don't do it." As he said that, Zhu Yunyu put his hands into his sleeve and looked at the other party, "Don't tell me, you don't know at all."
Zhu Di pondered for a long time and smiled bitterly, "The emperor doesn't know anything, it's hard for a military man. I'm not trying to defend them, but they're really hard."
As he said that, he sighed and continued, "I dare not do anything about deducting military pay by drinking blood from soldiers. However, I know that I am aware of the false report of the empty salary. Not only do I know it, but I also... acquiesced."
"It is difficult for military personnel. Military personnel are not like civil officials, but there are places to make money. How can they support their families by relying on the little military salary? Whose family is not a big family?"
"It's fine if you just have your own family. Take Yanshan Zhonggu under my command for example. He has been in his 20s and 30 years of love for his robes and relatives than his own brothers."
"It's all a friendship that can block each other's knives. After a battle, those who are alive will always be killed. Take care of the family, right?"
"There are also some people who are dead? Just rely on the court to give that little land? If the ministers are not talking to them, the soldiers are used to knives and guns, and they cannot hold their hoes. He is used to eating meat and cannot eat coarse grains."
"If there is a war, it would be fine. There is still some windfall and imperial rewards. I am afraid that if I don't fight, I will only have a little military salary if I don't fight. If I go to my family to spend favors, what else can I do if I go to help with the robe?"
"Sometimes it's not just a robe. The men who lead the troops should be convinced by their subordinates. They should not be stingy in terms of money, and should have a broad face."
"And there are war horse armors... what the court sent out is always not as good as they find someone to do, right?"
"In this way, how can the money be enough? I can only report the head of the person and get some empty salary!"
"I know this is contrary to the laws of the country, but that's what it means to lead troops. If I really take serious measures, I can't take this troops."
As he said that, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Yunxiu and said, "Military men are not like civil servants. They can sit in the yamen just by finding a nerd. The military men who lead the troops are all crawling out of the dead."
Zhu Yunxiu sat against the windowsill, blowing the cold winter wind outside.
While listening to Zhu Di's words, he thought secretly in his heart.
Every era has unique characteristics of the times, and disadvantages and disadvantages are also one of the characteristics of the times. This is what people often say, there is no 100% perfection in the world.
However, the disadvantages can be tolerated, but the disadvantages cannot.
Because over time, this disadvantage will change into a hopeless terminal illness of the Ming Dynasty.
Not to mention that this terminal illness has no cure in the future, it seems to be extremely difficult now, and it will move the whole body.
To put it simply, the border army's empty salary guards drank soldiers' blood, turned the army's land into the general's own land, and turned soldiers into tenants into serfs...
To put it bluntly, it involves reducing the vassal states and integrating the national military count, including the future separation of the huge powers in the Governor's Office of the Five Army, allowing him and the Ministry of War to cooperate and restrict each other...
These things are too difficult to do, but if Zhu Yunyu's generation did not do them, the next generation would not do them.
Then, the country's military will once again fall into the cycle of history and the vicious cycle.
Sometimes it's late at night, and when Zhu Yunyu racks his brains to weigh the pros and cons to consider these things, he will inevitably smile bitterly when he is haggard.
Having hundreds of years of experience does not mean that he has accumulated talents and experience for hundreds of years. What he has not seen in the soul of a modern person will do better than the ancients. In fact, it is not obvious that he must be more competent than others.
"It's just a word of money. The military people have little military salary or not enough expenses to get empty salary. The civil servants have little salary, so they have to get corrupt." Zhu Yunyu's expressionless face, "It seems to make sense, but in fact, this reason may not be true." As he said, he glanced at Zhu Di, "You and I have different positions and certainly different views on the problem."
Then, Zhu Yunxiu paused again, "Let's go back and see how many soldiers and horses are registered under your command of King Yan? Report it all in every detail. I want the list to be useful!"
"Your Majesty!" Zhu Di said anxiously, "Don't hurt the soldiers..."
"I just want the roster, not what to do." Zhu Yunhuang smiled indifferently, "Oh, I can't understand how much you have eaten?"
"Looking back, those generals under your command were scolding in their hearts while eating. The court was a fool, and he didn't know if he was a kid's salary?"
"Don't worry, I know what I know. It won't make the soldiers feel disappointed and make it difficult for you to do."
Speaking of this, he sighed again, "Actually, it's you, I asked you for a list with a kind look. If it were someone else, hum!"
Who are the others?
Zhu Di suddenly said in surprise, "The emperor is not targeting Yanshanwei and Beiping Dusi targeting Yanfan, but...?"
"You are fine, you just eat empty salary. Others not only eat empty salary but also drink military blood!" Zhu Yunxi's face suddenly became ferocious. "The military salary paid by the court was only 50% of them when they reached their soldiers. Only 50% of them will be delayed for a year and a half."
"They also embezzled the military pay of the soldiers and put the seal money to earn interest."
"If you don't treat them, it's not just about disappointing the soldiers. But someone wants to scold me, the Zhu family, who is not worthy of this great country!"
Zhu Di was frightened and frightened, "Emperor..." Then, his eyes widened, "I ask the emperor to severely punish such crazy people, and these people must be punished."
"If the heroic general in the army is unbearable, please ask the emperor to let him supervise..."
"At most, the old generals in the army are eating empty salary and drinking some soldiers' blood. Who dares to embezzle military salary?" Zhu Yunsheng sneered.
Suddenly, Zhu Di understood in his heart.
Then they will naturally be the vassal kings of the Zhu family.
"Fifth, seventeenth?"
"It is possible for the fifth brother, but it is not necessarily the seventeenth brother."
At this time, Zhu Yunxiu said hatefully, "I have tolerated it again and again for the sake of the old man, but they have repeatedly challenged my bottom line. Our Zhu family has finally accumulated this little virtue and let them all disappear!"
"Emperor!" Zhu Di thought for a moment and saluted solemnly, "Now the second and third brothers of the prince have passed away, and the oldest among the kings. Please hand over this matter to me..."
"You can't do it!" Zhu Yunxi shook his head, "This is not a family matter, it is a state matter of the Ming Dynasty!"
In an instant, a few drops of cold sweat broke out on Zhu Di's forehead.
The reason why he volunteered was because of his fifth brother, and he wanted to turn this into a family matter.
And the emperor's tone can only be a state affairs.
Your Majesty, don’t you plan to tolerate it anymore?
