Chapter 510 Military Parade on the School Field (Part 2)
wThe soldiers in the audience stared at the silver box shining in the sun, their eyes widened.
Wuji swallowed hard, "Holy shit, is this the reissue of military pay for us?"
Beard looked like he was lost, and murmured to Heizi next to him: "Heizi, pinch me hard and see if we are dreaming."
After Heizi heard this, he pinched him hard, and a pain came from his waist. Huzi woke up and regained consciousness.
At this time, Li Yan's voice also came through the iron microphone.
"Originally, the salary owed to you by the previous dynasty has nothing to do with this dynasty, but your majesty is kind and cannot bear to see the soldiers struggling to survive, so he specially ordered me to come and repay the half-year salary owed by the previous dynasty. Now it is based on the unit of battalion.
Anyone who calls out his name will come up and collect his salary, do you understand?"
There was silence in the audience, and no one answered. Li Yan saw his eyebrows raised slightly, and asked loudly again: "Can you understand?"
Now there was movement, and waves of messy voices came up from the school grounds: "I understand!"
Immediately after, waves of overwhelming voices came from the school grounds: "Long live Dahua, long live the Emperor!"
"Wan Sheng!"
Countless soldiers were so excited that they couldn't help themselves. The imperial court finally paid them, and their family, young and old, finally had a chance to make a career.
While the soldiers were excited, the Liaodong generals on the viewing platform looked at the boxes of silver in front of them with complicated expressions, with greed, regret, anger, dissatisfaction and other expressions flashing in their eyes.
Yes, these Liaodong generals are dissatisfied. In the past, when the imperial court allocated salary and silver, they would first be scrapped one level by the Liaodong generals headed by Zu Dashou, and then the middle and low-level officers below would be scraped another level, and finally ten taels of silver.
Less than four taels could be distributed to the soldiers.
And they did this with the tacit approval of the court. Although this is a bad habit, the atmosphere of the court has long been corrupted. Even the ministers who can't stand it are helpless, because if you want to investigate, you will offend too many interest groups.
Big enough. Big enough to burn them to ashes.
But now Li Yan wants to eliminate all these bad habits, which will naturally cause a backlash from the Liaodong generals. This is also the reason why he almost fell out with Li Yan at yesterday's dinner. If Li Yan hadn't come with a heavy army, I'm afraid they would have fallen out long ago.
Already.
Zu Dachou, who was standing next to Zu Dashou, looked at the silver taels on the stage with greedy eyes, and whispered to Zu Dashou sadly: "Brother, this much silver is more than 200,000 taels. If we let
Let’s distribute it. We can make at least 60,000 to 70,000 taels, and it would be a pity to continue distributing it like this.”
"Shut up!" Zu Dashou glared at Zu Dachou and said coldly: "Second brother, you have to remember that this money belongs to the court, not us. Today is different from the past. Since we are now eating Dahua's salary
, you must abide by Dahua's rules, otherwise no one can save you if something happens."
"yes!"
After listening to Zu Dashou's warning, Zu Dashou had no choice but to respond angrily and retreat.
As the payment of wages began, boxes of silver were carried off the viewing platform and divided into more than a dozen piles. Each pile had several clerks responsible for distributing it, and there were still several clerks standing around the clerks.
Military judges are responsible for supervision. If there is any embezzlement or embezzlement of military pay, they will stop it as soon as possible.
"Zhang Dafu"
"Wang Sanlu"
"Fu Laowu"
Whenever a name is read, a soldier will come forward to receive the money. Many soldiers cried excitedly after receiving the money. The money came so timely. It is not an exaggeration to call it life-saving money. Moreover, they
I have noticed for a long time that these silver coins are of good quality and look white and shiny, and they are definitely not the low-quality silver coins that were mixed with lead and turned black in color in the past.
"I got a lot of money. Fifteen taels. I received a full fifteen taels of silver. Now we have money!"
Beard, who had received the silver, returned to the queue, dancing with excitement. The heavy silver in his hand made his eyes dizzy.
"Wang Tieshuan and Su Youdao"
As the names were read one after another, more and more soldiers received the money and returned to the team happily. Looking at the smiling soldiers, Zu Dashou felt desolate in his heart. At this moment, he had a bad feeling.
Jinzhou, which has been run by the family for nearly a hundred years, may be handed over to the imperial court.
At this time, Jinzhou was on the front line of the border with the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. The news that Zu Dashou and others had returned and brought a large amount of food, wages and reinforcements could not be concealed from the spies in the city. On the third day after the wages were distributed in the city, something happened here
Everything was delivered to Huang Taiji in Shengjing by fast horse.
After receiving the information, Huang Taiji did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered to summon all civil and military officials to come to Chongde Hall to discuss matters.
In less than an hour, most of the Manchu princes gathered in the palace. Huang Taiji ordered the eunuch to send the information sent by the spies down to the princes for circulation.
Huang Taiji was sitting in the main hall, looking at the people below who were circulating information. They all looked solemn, some were meditating, some were cursing secretly, some had frowning faces, and some were dismissive. All kinds of expressions
All reflected in Huang Taiji's eyes.
"Everyone, this is the news just received from our spies lurking in Jinzhou City. Dahua has sent their Minister of War to Liaodong in order to compete with me, the Qing Dynasty, for Liaodong. What can you tell me?"
There was still silence, and those Manchu princes and generals who had invaded the south and fought against Pang Gang in the past two years, such as Dorgon, Azige, Du Du and others, were even more silent. In the past, Pang Gang was just a thousand households, commanding
He was so brave and difficult to deal with when he was an envoy. Now that he has ascended the throne as emperor, his military and financial resources are many times stronger than before, making it even more difficult to deal with.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Huang Taiji was secretly angry and asked: "Why are you silent? Now that the Ming Dynasty has fallen, and the current Dahua has only been established for a few months, do you even have the courage to fight against Dahua?"
None?"
Seeing Huang Taiji getting angry, everyone turned their attention to Daishan, the big Baylor. Daishan's prestige here cannot be said to be the highest, but he is the oldest. In addition, as the leader of the Zhenghong Banner, he has
It is most appropriate for him to be the first to speak.
Seeing everyone's attention, Dai Shan had no choice but to stand up and said to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although Dahua has increased its troops in Jinzhou, it may not be a sign that it will take action against our Qing Dynasty. This year our Qing Dynasty will
Although our strength has declined slightly in the future, it cannot be shaken by a newly established Great China. In my opinion, this is just a normal increase and mobilization of troops by Great China, and the Emperor does not need to worry."
Daishan's words did not make Huang Taiji feel relieved. Huang Taiji frowned and said, "Is there anyone else who wants to say something?"
At this time, Huang Taiji's eldest son Hauge jumped out and said, "Everyone, what's wrong with you? Do you think our great Qing Dynasty is so famous? Are we so afraid of Dahua? I think Dahua has only been established for only a few months, but
Why are you all so frightened when I mention Dahua? Could it be that Pang Gang has three heads and six arms?"
As soon as Hauge's words came out, Dorgon couldn't help but rolled his eyes and thought to himself, if you really have the ability, just go and touch them. What's the point of shouting here.
Huang Taiji glanced at his son with satisfaction. Hauge was Huang Taiji's eldest son. He had an extraordinary appearance, was brave and handsome, and had great strength. He had been on the battlefield for many years and had made many military exploits. Therefore, he was deeply favored by him. After hearing this, Hao Ge
He said with satisfaction:
"What Hao Ge said is reasonable. Although Dahua has increased its troops in Jinzhou, it is only 20,000, which is not enough to threaten our Qing Dynasty. If they dare to send troops to me without permission, our Qing Dynasty's cavalry will not be vegetarian."
At this time, Ning Wanwo and Fan Wencheng, who were standing silently in the team, looked at each other. Ning Wanwo stood up and said, "What the emperor said is true. From what I saw, when the great power was first established, so
The land area is only 40 to 50% of that of the Ming Dynasty. If the slave was Pang Gang, he could not afford to take care of his own three-acre land. How dare he have the intention to offend the Qing Dynasty? However, the emperor must also be prepared to prevent
The general of Jinzhou is eager to make a great contribution, so he would like to send a large army to provoke me."
Huang Taiji nodded: "Well, what Ning Qing said is true, and I think so too. At this time, it is unlikely that Dahua will go to war with the Qing Dynasty, but we must be wary of the border generals below who are eager to perform meritorious deeds and act without authorization.
Send troops to make the Qing Dynasty our enemy."
Having said this, Huang Taiji thought about it again and said to Hauge: "Hauge, tomorrow you will lead five thousand soldiers and horses to station near Jinzhou. If you encounter an enemy group, you are not allowed to fight, and you will lead your troops back immediately. If the opponent is
If you follow them and chase them, you can lead them towards Shengjing. I want to see if they dare to fight against me, the Qing Dynasty!"
Hauge was overjoyed and immediately stood up and responded loudly: "My son, I obey the order!"
At this time, Fan Wencheng stood up and said to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, please allow me to go to Jinzhou with my eldest brother."
When Hauge heard this, he became angry. He had always looked down on the Han people. He glared at Fan Wencheng and angrily shouted: "Fan Wencheng, what do you mean? Are you worried about me?"
Fan Wencheng raised his hands and said: "I don't dare. It's just that the newly arrived Liaodong Governor Li Yan has heard about him in the past. He is quite strategic. I just want to know if this person has any conspiracy.
It would be nice for me to be around my elder brother and give him advice."
Fan Wencheng really meant well when he said this. He knew Hauge's temperament. He was more than brave but lacking in strategy. He was worried that Hauge would not understand Huang Taiji's meaning and fight Dahua head-on, in vain.
Clear valuable troops.
"That's enough!" But Hauge didn't appreciate it, and shouted angrily: "I don't need you to teach me how to fight the Han people, but you cowardly Han people are my opponents!" (To be continued) m
