Chapter 682

I have to say that the military soldier from Changguowei had a good guess, and Guanhaiwei's spoils were indeed paid out of his own pocket.

In order to escape military punishment, Guanhaiwei's military officers were furiously killed last night, with a total of 164 refugees sleeping in the camp. Among them, 96 male heads were cut off and they treated them as the thief's heads to reward merit. The rest of the women and children, as well as the headless corpses, were all dug holes and buried deep.

Although he thought that Song Dayan was no longer alive when he jumped into the river, he was guilty of being a thief. In order to make things look more realistic and perfect, Guanhaiwei and a group of military officers paid out of their own pockets to buy a batch of poultry and livestock from the people of nearby villages as spoils. As for food and weapons, they came out from the inside of the garrison.

About half an hour later, the officials finally counted the "trophy" of Guanhaiwei and recorded it in the book.

Yu Linsheng handed the booklet to Hou Renjie, the assistant of Guanhaiwei, who picked up the pen and signed it, and then tentatively said: "Yu Qianhu, although the sun is shining now, there are unexpected winds and clouds in the sky. It may not matter when it will rain. But if the items such as grain, tea, cloth are so bad that it will be wet. Why did the Governor order everyone to transport all the spoils here to open the air?"

Yu Linsheng shrugged and said, "I don't know much about it, but the Grandmaster has always done this way, which makes people unpredictable. In short, since the Grandmaster gave such instructions, it must be his reason. We don't have to worry about it, just do it."

Hou Renjie laughed and said, "That's right, the Governor is unfathomable and uses troops like a god. For example, in the battle last night, even our Guanhaiwei and Changguowei were hidden."

Yu Linsheng glanced at Hou Renjie and thought to himself, why did the Grand Marshal hide it from you? He didn't know anything about it? However, finally, you Guanhaiwei and Changguowei have joined the war and have some achievements. Otherwise, with the Grand Marshal's temperament, you guys who are passive and lazy in fighting will not be able to take advantage of it.

Yu Linsheng did not respond. Hou Renjie was bored, but this guy was a veteran and still remained calm. He actually wandered around the school yard and looked for people to approach him.

Hou Renjie didn't want to find out any internal news, but just to make friends with each other. Hou Renjie walked around and probably thought that Xiong Bai, a thousand households in Qianhuo, was honest and easy to fool, so he followed Lao Xiong and chatted with him.

Xiong Bai was originally an honest and dissatisfied person, but the actual decision in the garrison was Luo Hong, the deputy Qianhu. At this time, Hou Renjie "meeted together" as the commander. Although Xiong Bai felt bored, he was embarrassed to drive him away, so he was busy while dealing with it.

"Xiong Qianhu, according to the reward given by the Governor, the military achievements of our entire army will probably cost 50,000 or 60,000 taels of silver. In addition, the pensions of the dead and injured brothers will cost 70,000 to 80,000 taels. Now that the national treasury is tight, I don't know if it can be fulfilled." Hou Renjie talked and turned to the reward of silver. After all, this is the topic that everyone is most concerned about at the moment.

"It will definitely be fulfilled. The general has always done his word." Xiong Bai replied.

At this time, Yu Linsheng happened to be next to him. The boy was already tired of Hou Renjie chatting here and said with a slight mockery: "Don't worry, no one is missing. No one can lack the hundreds of taels of silver for your Guanhaiwei."

A hint of shame and anger flashed in Hou Renjie's eyes, but he smiled and said, "Hehe, that's right, well, you guys are busy, let's say goodbye first!"

No matter how thick-skinned Hou Renjie was, he was embarrassed to continue to linger here and said goodbye to the outsider in the camp.

However, at this moment, a team of arrogant Jinyiwei rushed over quickly, quickly guarding both sides of the road, and shouted: "The Governor is here."

Hou Renjie retreated to the side of the road with a stern and soon, a savage with live ammunition came towards him. Immediately afterwards, the officials, gentry and great merchants in Ningbo Prefecture walked over like stars arching the moon.

The young man was about the early twenties, with red lips and white teeth. He did not wear an official robe, but was dressed as a gentle scholar, with a calm temperament. The deputy envoy of the imperial envoy Xia Yan followed the young man with all his steps.

Hou Renjie's heart moved. This person should be the most popular Jing'anbo in recent years, Xu Jin, the governor of Zhizhe. He is so young that he is unreasonable.

When Yu Linsheng, Xiong Bai and Wang Duo saw Xu Jin, they hurriedly ran up to salute and shouted: "I will meet the Grand Marshal in the end."

Xu Jin nodded and introduced three main generals of the Jiangxi Army to everyone. The gentry and merchants immediately flattered and praised the Jiangxi Army's bravery and good fighting. Xiao Xiao liked to be flattered and felt a little embarrassed.

After everyone exchanged greetings, Xu Jin coughed lightly. The gentry and merchants knew that the opera was coming and quieted down very sensible.

Xu Jin said with a sigh: "Month ago, pirates colluded with Japanese pirates to invade thousands of miles of the coast of our Ming Dynasty, which caused the people to be displaced and the lives of the world. My emperor was furious and the sky shed tears.

Xu Jin was not talented and was appointed as the governor of Zhizhe under the order of the emperor, and vowed to suppress the bandits. Fortunately, the military and civilians worked together to defeat the rebel king Zhi in a battle last night and defeated more than 20,000 main forces under the command of the rebel king Zhi, and killed and captured nearly 9,000!"

Xu Jin deliberately paused when he said this. Han Dajie, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, immediately shouted loudly: "The Ming Dynasty has won thousands of victories, my emperor has won thousands of victories, and the general has won thousands of victories!"

A group of Jinyiwei, 500 battalions of personal soldiers, and Jiangxi soldiers around him followed one after another. As a result, the deafening "Wansheng" echoed over the entire military camp, and the gentry were all solemn and solemn.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost done, Xu Jin raised his hands and waited for the surroundings to calm down. He continued with a sensation: "Since my emperor ascended the throne, he has worked hard to govern the country and the people's livelihood has improved greatly. However, our Ming Dynasty has not been peaceful in recent years. Before, the King of Ning in Jiangxi rebelled, and later, the White Lotus demon incited the Shandong mining thieves to rebel. Now, the Japanese pirates invaded my thousands of miles of sea border, and have been constantly warring for years. The national treasury is now overwhelmed.

However, soldiers are brave enough to fight the enemy on the battlefield, and those who have made merits must not be rewarded. Therefore, I hereby propose that you can contribute money, work hard and overcome difficulties together.”

As soon as this was said, even though the gentry and merchants who had expected it could not help but complain secretly, they all looked unnatural, and they knew that there was no good banquet. As a result, they just finished a banquet at the restaurant, and they were about to cut their flesh.

Xu Jin said again: "Please see, in the battle last night, the soldiers made great achievements, and now they are all here. You are interested in what big things you can take away, just pay according to the market price, and you can only be a little support for the army of thieves."

As soon as Xu Jin said this, the gentry and merchants couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was acceptable not to have money for nothing. Of course, even if Governor Xu asked them to donate silver directly, no one dared to say anything more.

After all, Governor Xu has just taken the power of great victory, and the blood on the butcher knife has not yet dried up. Who dares to say "no"? Now Governor is just asking for an equivalent exchange, which is undoubtedly quite kind.

Therefore, the mountains of spoils piled up on the school ground were quickly subscribed by a group of gentry and merchants, and even the ragged farm tools were all included by a wealthy guy.

So, in less than two hours, all the spoils turned into boxes of white silver, and a total of more than 117,000 taels of silver were obtained. The problem of rewarding silver was solved.
