Chapter 230: Cursing

Was Xu Jinyan so easily beheaded and made public?

Many people couldn't believe their eyes. You know, Xu Jinyan was the son of Duke Ding and the nephew of Duke Wei. With these two military bosses as their backers, it was enough to make him walk sideways in the Beijing camp.

Because the backstage is too big, Xu Jinyan has long been accustomed to being arrogant and domineering in the Beijing camp. In addition to giving some face to the generals from nobles, no matter how big the generals from civilians are, Xu Jinyan still calls them and uses them like dogs.

Some generals made contributions but were always unable to get the promotion and rewards they deserved, because all these contributions were falsely taken away by Xu Jinyan; but if Xu Jinyan made a mistake, they often took the blame for generals from civilians.

If Xu Jinyan treats generals like this, he will treat his soldiers even more excessively. It can be said that he does not treat his soldiers as human beings at all. He will be beaten and killed, and he will be rampant.

In the Beijing camp, Xu Jinyan is a character who is like a cancer. The soldiers from the Hu Ben Guard have suffered for a long time and have long hated him.

Now that I saw Xu Jinyan being beheaded by Chongzhen, it was really satisfying. However, because the emperor was present, the soldiers could not cheer loudly, but could only suppress the joy in their hearts, and were so excited that they were swaying all over.

Some soldiers who were once bullied by Xu Jinyan, or soldiers whose relatives and friends died at Xu Jinyan's hands, couldn't help but shed tears when they saw Xu Jinyan's head being beheaded.

As for the generals who ignored military law and acted as a mighty general in the army, they were trembling and did not even dare to breathe too heavily.

Xu Jinyan was from the Xu family, who was a family of two dukes. Chongzhen cut off his head without frowning.

If they were their backstage status, they were far inferior to Xu Jinyan. Who would dare to test Chongzhen's majesty?

Zhu Youjian looked around the generals and said slowly: "Sirs, to be honest, I am very disappointed. After gathering troops and drums to beat two incense sticks, the soldiers came late.

After gathering, the soldiers stood up without standing posture, without any military character, and whispered on the field of the university, lol, and regard the laws and regulations in the military as nothing.

Judging from the poor performance of the soldiers when gathering troops, I don’t need to see your performance on the battlefield at all, so it is enough to judge that you are a garbage force with poor military literacy and no combat effectiveness.”

Hearing Chongzhen's merciless accusations, the nearly 40,000 soldiers in the audience felt very uncomfortable. After all, no one was a masochist and liked to listen to people's accusations and criticisms.

But the people who accuse and criticize them are the current emperors. Even if they have a thousand or ten thousand in their hearts, they can only hold them back and dare not speak out.

After cursing the soldiers, Zhu Youjian's expression gradually calmed down and he said, "Of course, I know that all this cannot be blamed on you. This is the case with the general environment and cannot be saved by personal power.

But I will never allow the army to live a life of slack and wait for death. What I need is an army that can resist Jiannu and suppress the thieves and the people inside. You must make changes and keep up with the new situation.

If anyone can't keep up with the new situation and falls behind in the process of military transformation, then get out of here, and the court will never tell you!"

Hearing Chongzhen's words, nearly 40,000 soldiers in the audience couldn't help but feel even more nervous. Although the military pay of the soldiers in the Beijing camp was only ten taels of silver a year, if the money was gone, the whole family would have to drink the Northwest Wind.

The officers and generals also dare not relax. They are just vulgar warriors and have no other skills than leading troops to fight. If they are driven out of the army, what else can they do?

Zhu Youjian continued, "Don't say that I don't give you a chance. Three months later, I will visit Peking University again to inspect you. If you still perform like this today, then you can get out of here!"

With a "knock" sound, tens of thousands of soldiers below heard Chongzhen's ruthless ultimatum, and everyone felt cold in their hearts and felt extremely uneasy about their future prospects.

However, the next moment, Zhu Youjian's face calmed down slightly and he said kindly: "Of course, if the army inspection in three months can satisfy me, you will not only be able to continue to serve, but will also receive my personal commendation."

When the soldiers heard this, their mood was like a roller coaster. When they heard this, they heard the emperor's words, it turned out that everyone still had a chance. As long as they were recognized by the emperor during the inspection three months later, they would not only remain in office, but also be commended.

Tsk, this is the emperor's reward. The emperor is rich all over the world. Any oil leaking out from his fingers is enough for them to enjoy in their entire lives.

Thinking of Chongzhen's commendation, the soldiers subconsciously forgot what would happen if they didn't pass the Chongzhen inspection, and were only immersed in beautiful imagination.

Little did they know that before Chongzhen came, they had already formulated a rigorous training plan with the Military Affairs Office. In the next three months, these tens of thousands of soldiers will suffer and suffer as if they were in purgatory.

...

After the soldiers were disbanded, all officers from more than a hundred households stayed. The officers all thought that Chongzhen asked them to stay to give them some benefits to win over the morale of the army. However, what Chongzhen said next made the officers sweat all over and their hearts almost swelled.

Zhu Youjian said: "I know that in the Ming Dynasty, most of the army has become corrupt and degenerate. The officers only know how to seek enjoyment and exploit soldiers. The military pay paid to the soldiers by the court. If 18 taels of silver fall into the hands of the soldiers a year, it is already considered that you are very kind, and most of the salary paid falls into your hands.

What made me even more angry is that if you embezzle, you should embezzle, but you still blame the court and deceived the soldiers by lies and said that the court was harsh on the soldiers and deducted the soldiers' rations.

You are paralyzed!

You bastards, why not ask yourself when did I and the court deduct soldiers’ salaries?

No matter how difficult the country's finances are or how dire straits the people's lives are, I and the court have always given priority to the army.

I know how great harm the unstable army would have to the court and the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, I and the court would give the silver to the army first to prevent the unstable army from falling into turmoil.

But not only do you greedy for the wages I and the court distributed to the soldiers, but you also shamelessly claimed that it was me and the court deducting the military wages of soldiers. How could you bear it? Are your consciences eaten by dogs?

You will take the blame for your own benefits, but I will take the blame. What is this? Are I and the court taking the blame? I have never seen a shameless person like you!"

As the king of a country, Chongzhen should have maintained the demeanor of the monarch, but he was really disgusted by the military leaders' slutty actions. He could no longer bear it, abandoned the demeanor of the king and cursed the officers.
