Chapter 10: Accidents in Beijing Camp

In an instant, almost all the soldiers in the school raised their heads and looked at Meng Zhaoxiang on the stage. Their fiery eyes showed extreme desire. Fifteen taels of silver were enough for their salary for a year and a half!

Moreover, one person who reports is fifteen taels, not to mention that the Beijing camp army has long been corrupt, and everyone knows the bad things of a few generals. However, Osaka may have been a soldier before, so knowing that might give him some sweet spots.

.

If you encounter those tough situations, I'm afraid it's a bad thing if you know it. In addition, according to the Ming Dynasty's household registration system, your household registration will not change at all in your life. Unless you are rich and powerful, you will have to hang out in the military for the rest of your life.

This time you reported it, and then maybe something happened to your family. If you are unlucky, you will be in the war years, and you will be transferred to Liaodong to fight with the Tatars with a transfer order. You never know when you will die there.

What? Are you talking about the pension? After you die, your family only has an old man, a wife, and your child who has not yet tied his hair. So what if your pension is secretly withheld? How can a woman know this clearly?

What is the standard for granting gold in the military?

Even if you have some doubts in your mind, when you ask the surrounding military households, they may have "taken advantage" of your husband's death in the war and took a little silver. Naturally, they will not inform you of the gold standard. After all, you will not be worth it.

power.

Although Meng Zhaoxiang saw the excitement in the eyes of most of the soldiers, they in the audience did not dare to step forward at all. The hands holding the knife handles and gun handles trembled unconsciously, and their legs seemed to be uncontrollable and they would step forward in the next second.

Report, but the inner reason and the calmness of the people around them make most people just eager to try.

The enemy is not only the lieutenants and generals standing on the left and right of the military parade, but also the soldiers placed around them. They act as the eyes and ears of their superiors. Once someone dares to report and expose, they will be known the next moment.

Without complete guarantee, no one dares to stand up.

After a while, the school grounds were still quiet. It seemed that Meng Zhaoxiang only felt the passion of these soldiers in his heart, but felt nothing in his actions.

Seeing this, the lieutenants and generals also showed a hint of pride in their hearts. How could a fledgling minister have the courage to act like this? No one paid attention to it. It was just the beginning, and there would be a lot of fun in the future.

"All lieutenants, staff generals and other generals should face the rear!"

Following Meng Zhaoxiang's order, several lieutenants and generals were stunned and immediately guessed what he meant. In order to prevent their eyes from forcing the soldiers to report, they directly turned their backs. Even if any soldier reported, they would not

Know who made the report.

"Damn Meng Zhaoxiang!"

Although the generals of the Beijing camp were reluctant, Meng Zhaoxiang, as the governor of the Beijing camp, had the power to control the entire Beijing camp, so they had no choice but to turn around reluctantly. If they resisted and refused to listen, they would be directly arrested in public.

A crime of resisting disrespect.

Although they are greedy, they are not stupid.

Moreover, they are confident enough that they are not afraid of these soldiers coming forward to report them. They rely on the deterrent power of being in the Beijing camp for a long time and the people scattered among the soldiers. They also want to take a good look at who dares to report them and deal with them afterwards.

When these people turned around confidently, Meng Zhaoxiang directly ordered Jin Yiwei to move out several boxes of silver. A considerable part of them were gold, silver and jade items randomly stuffed into wooden boxes. He specially ordered people to open the boxes just to let these

The weak and weak soldiers took a good look at the newly arrived governor Rong Zheng. What he said was true!

Along the way, as expected, almost everyone was staring at the boxes of gold, silver and jade with longing eyes. Everyone who looked at them was about to fall over. In addition, the boxes were heavy, and the guards in royal robes also carried them slowly. Some soldiers were almost stunned.

To touch the ground.

Finally seeing the coveted expressions on the faces of these soldiers, Meng Zhaoxiang announced again with great confidence: "I would like to ask again, the governor, if you report someone, I will be rewarded fifteen taels of silver. Can anyone come forward? You have also seen that the silver will be

Here, many of you have had your salaries exploited and taken away by others, and you dare not say a word. Now the money is here, just waiting for you to come and get it. Everyone in the Beijing camp is also here, and no one can leave!

"

"What are you afraid of?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a rough man would think of his boss's cruelty to him. The sad and angry past was still vivid in his mind, and tears of disappointment poured down. He felt a sudden change in his heart, held a long gun in his hand, and walked quickly to the stage.

He knelt down and said loudly: "Mr. Governor, I have something to say!"

Meng Zhaoxiang was overjoyed to finally see someone who dared to come forward to report him. Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as you take the first step, the rest of the matter will naturally be solved.

"But it doesn't matter. As long as I, Meng Zhaoxiang, are here, you will be safe."

Knowing that the other party had many personal concerns, he made a promise so that he could speak out boldly with confidence.

"The little one has been in Beijing for five years, but the annual salary payment is only for three years! And the amount of money is different in each of those three years, five taels in the first year, four taels in the second year, and the same in the third year

Four taels, but there were no more in the next two years. When I asked about the other brothers, I didn’t know most of them."

"Do you know the reason why the salary payment is insufficient?" Meng Zhaoxiang asked in a deep voice. Knowing this matter will involve the interests of countless people. Even if he knows the consequences, he must completely reorganize the capital camp.

"I didn't know it at first, but later I found out that it was my boss, Mr. Li, who took possession of my salary. He explained to me that the imperial court had not distributed it. I knew that the imperial government had distributed it. Although it was not much, it was enough to support the family.

There is always money, but Mr. Li claims that the court has not distributed it. He has a humble status and really dare not fight against it."

Speaking of this, a strong northern man burst into tears at this moment, and most of the soldiers standing in the square were also touched and could not help but lower their heads and cry. They had experienced the same thing.

"Is there anything else to report?" Meng Zhaoxiang was already full of energy at this moment, and the anger that could not be concealed in his words was fully revealed behind his hands. At this moment, only his reason kept him calm.

"A brother in the same camp, his wife was actually given to a general in the camp..." At this point, the man could no longer hold back his anger and directly pointed his spear at the man standing on the right side of the parade platform.

A general stabbed him.

"You bastard, give back the lives of my brother and his family!"

Accompanied by a suppressed piercing sound, the unaware general turned around and saw the spear approaching him. The next second, he was directly penetrated through his body. He looked at the opponent with horror on his face. He couldn't believe it.

How dare a pawn who was bullied in the past do this?

When the man saw blood pouring from the opponent's abdomen, he pulled out his spear without mercy. The general then knelt on the ground weakly. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he looked up and fell to the ground unwillingly.

Seeing that a soldier dared to kill on the spot, perhaps thinking that this was an opportunity to stop Meng Zhaoxiang from continuing to report, a lieutenant general from the Three Thousand Battalion directly pulled out his sword and shouted into the sky: "Soldiers are good at killing officers, please press

Law deserves to die!"

After saying that, he was about to swing his knife at the man who was still in panic. The next second, he was stopped by Meng Zhaoxiang who didn't know when he came down with his knife in the air. When he saw the other man blocking him, although his official position was not higher than the other man's, he didn't do anything about it.

Influence the deputy general's murderous intention.

He frowned, his eyes were cold, and he didn't care that the newly appointed governor was in front of him: "Governor Meng, you must have just arrived here and don't know much about the affairs of the Beijing camp, but I want to tell you that the following offenses led to the death of your superior, here

There is no living crime, only capital punishment! If I don't kill him, if other soldiers confront their superiors with swords in the future, how do you want me to manage my subordinates? Get out of the way quickly, and kill this man to warn others!"

Meng Zhaoxiang naturally guessed what he was thinking. He wanted to kill someone on the spot, firstly to frighten other soldiers who tried to report him, and secondly to curb the development of the situation. If he was implicated, it would also be a death penalty.

Why not take advantage of this opportunity to kill this soldier and solve the petty thoughts of all the soldiers in the capital. Even if they are reprimanded or demoted, they will not hesitate. Although Dashun is attacking the city outside, they can still do it if they surrender.

You only have an official position, why should you care about this official position?

"Vice General Sun, are you too hasty? This person may have been impulsive for a moment, but the report has not yet been finished. Are you killing someone now, are you not afraid that others will think you are covering up the crime and trying to scare others?"

"Governor Meng, I'm afraid you may have misunderstood me. It will take a few days for the Governor to have a general understanding of the affairs of the capital camp. On the first day after arriving, it was natural for us to help the Governor familiarize himself with the rules."

Deputy General Sun's fearless appearance made Meng Zhaoxiang feel troubled, because he knew that Deputy General Sun was just one of this huge group, and the others were still hiding at the moment. If he couldn't control his behavior, he was afraid of what would happen next.

Things will gradually become more difficult.

"This man cannot be killed!"

"Brothers, the Governor said not to kill, what do you think?" Vice General Sun stared at Meng Zhaoxiang, but he shouted to others, obviously with the intention of gathering people to fight together.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Other generals and generals responded to Vice General Sun's words, and even some soldiers raised their sabers and shouted in support. In an instant, many soldiers who were trying to report were suppressed by this scene.

"Governor Meng, aren't you going to kill him yet?"

Vice General Sun had already started questioning him, which seemed to force Meng Zhaoxiang to submit.

"I said no killing!" Suddenly, Zhu Ling's domineering voice echoed in everyone's ears. The next second, they saw him coming on horseback with a large number of royal guards. The king who was originally a subjugated country now has some unparalleled kings.

Domineering.

"Who dares to kill!"

A long sword was stuck on the military parade platform, and some people immediately recognized that it was Shang Fang's sword.

[Author's digression]: If you think it's good, give it a vote. If there are more, I will work hard to add more.
