Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 285 Chapter 284 Conspiracy to raise wages?Full payment on site!
When Huang Degong heard Zhu Yu's words, he couldn't help thinking: "It's a bad thing."

Zhu Yuxi had always called him General Huang before, but now she actually called him Uncle Jing Nan, obviously really angry.

He immediately expressed his position: "I will go back to the army to investigate this matter strictly, and I will definitely give an explanation to the supervisor!"

Auntie Zhu said: "What should I explain to this palace? If it's just an ordinary trouble, then it's the payment. If someone is conspiring to make trouble, find out and deal with it according to the military law of the Ming Dynasty!"

According to the military law of Ming Dynasty?
If this matter in the army is dealt with according to the military law of the Ming Dynasty, it will be very strict, and I am afraid that many people will lose their heads.

Although Huang Degong didn't want to see this kind of result, he still bite the bullet and said: "Yes!"

Aunt Zhu said again: "Just wait a moment at the pier, and let the guards and frontier guards who are in charge of selection go with you, and first issue a reissue.

Don't affect the progress of the selection because of the investigation of the salary.

The selection must be completed within three days, otherwise it will affect our fight against the Qing in Jiangbei. "

"I understand!"

When Huang Degong disembarked, Zhu Wei cast her eyes on the military camp in Digang.

She was really not nervous about the troubles in Huang Degong's army.

Huang Degong's army in Digang was less than [-] in total.

The soldiers in the army were paid according to the official regulations of the Ming Dynasty, which was one tael of silver plus eight buckets of food per month.

Considering that rice is expensive and silver is cheap in Jiangnan, even if one month's money and rice are converted into three taels of silver, a soldier who owes two months is only six taels.

5 people owed two months to add up to more than 30 taels.

In this way, the money sold to Zuo Liangyu's "miracle medicine" in Wuchang alone was enough to pay for it several times, not to mention that she had brought a lot of money and food with the ship.

If there is a real shortage of money and food, Nanjing, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places also have a lot of money. As long as the Qing army is driven away, she can take money and food from these places at any time.

···
Digang Camp.

The barracks, which was supposed to be quiet and chilling, is now full of noise, but there are many soldiers gathered in various places, discussing loudly about the matter of Qian Xiang and Princess Kunxing's deprivation of Marquis Huang Degong.

"Brothers, although we were often insulted by the Nanjing court in the past, the Nanjing court was willing to take official titles, and directly made our uncle a marquis.

But now the marquis has voted for the princess of Jian Guo, not to mention being promoted to a noble, and even deprived of the marquis.

This Princess Jian Guo is so harsh on Lord Hou, how can she be nice to us?

Therefore, we must first ask Princess Jian Guo for the military salary, otherwise who knows what kind of hard life we ​​will have in the future? "

"That's right! The princess wants us to join us, so we must make up for the undertone!"

"In my opinion, not only should the princess make up the money, but also reward money! Otherwise, with the current food price, two months' salary is not enough for us to spend a month!"

"I was thinking that since Lord Hou has voted for the princess, the princess will definitely let us fight Nanjing City later. This Nanjing City is so difficult to fight. If we don't make noise and reward money, we will definitely not move our nest!"

"Yes, we won't move unless we get paid!"

"···"

Zhang Jie and Chen Xiance all gathered in Qiu Yue's tent.

Hearing the noise of the soldiers outside, Zhang Jie couldn't help laughing triumphantly: "What did Ma Degong say that he didn't want to get involved in this matter, without him, wouldn't we still have made things happen?"

But Chen Xiance had a strange look in his eyes, and said: "Ma Degong said he didn't want to get involved, but I see that there are quite a few of them among the payrollers.

From my point of view, this person is afraid of taking responsibility for something that happens, and he thinks that it might be bigger than what we all hoped for, so that the princess of Jianguo can give everyone a promotion. "

Qiu Yue was a little worried and said: "There are so many people complaining about wages now, are we under control?
Otherwise, when Lord Hou comes back, we won't be able to close the scene for a while, and I really angered Lord Hou, I'm afraid we will get punched. "

As we all know, when Huang Degong punished his generals, he used neither whips nor military sticks, but fists.

In his words, it is only by eating fists that you can have a long memory.

After hearing Qiu Yue's words, Zhang Jie said indifferently: "What are you afraid of, can you be called a soldier if you don't make noise these days? Let's not talk about our Lord's troops, how many times do other troops not make noise?

Thirteen years ago, Chongzhen might have killed his head if he made a fuss about salary, but after 13 years in Chongzhen, the most that made a fuss about salary was just a whipping for the leaders. "

Zhang Jie was laughing when he heard a panicked shout from outside: "Hou...Uncle is back!"

As the shout spread, the surrounding noises immediately disappeared in pieces.

When the three of them got out of the camp to have a look, they saw the soldiers who had been fighting for pay before, like seeing a cat or a mouse, running to their respective camps in a panic.

Seeing this, Qiu Yue couldn't help asking: "What should we do next?"

"Nothing to do." Zhang Jie said with a smile, "The purpose of our quarrel is to show our attitude, presumably Hou Ye knows now, and the Princess Jian Guo also knows.

Next, they will either hand out slaps and rewards to appease the soldiers; or they have to give us a few promotions and rewards to help appease the soldiers.

Which imperial court in the world is willing to pay?What's more, Princess Jian Guo already has [-] troops under her command, so she must be even more reluctant to use the money to replace the debts in our battalion.

On the contrary, if you give us a promotion, give the Lord Marquis a title, and give him a reward of one hundred thousand taels of silver, then we can put down the issue of wages.

So, what would Princess Jianguo choose?He will definitely choose to add officials to us. "

"Old Zhang is right." Chen Xiance nodded in agreement.

Qiu Yue also heaved a sigh of relief, feeling that the plan of the three of them was settled.

Presumably, even if Huang Degong knew about it, they would be able to forgive them - after all, they did this to complain about Huang Degong, hoping that Huang Degong would become the Duke of the Duke.

After the three of them finished speaking, they dispersed and went back to the camp.

Before the three of them reached the camp, they heard the sound of drums.

This is drumming and gathering soldiers.

The three of them were not surprised. Huang Degong would definitely beat the drums and gather troops to solve the problem because there was a quarrel in the army.

Immediately, the three of them gathered their soldiers and horses and rushed to the Dajiao field near Huang Degong's big tent.

I saw that Xu Chong had brought eight thousand soldiers from the military battalion to set up defenses inside and outside the campus—the military battalion was absolutely loyal to Huang Degong, and had not participated in the payroll before, so it would definitely be used to control the field.

Therefore, this matter was also expected by the three of Zhang Jie, and they didn't think much about it.

However, after the three of them lined up with Ma Degong's team in the large school field, they saw groups of soldiers wearing plate armor, general caps or flying saucer caps walking into the large school field.

The one in the front was also carrying large boxes, which were placed directly under the platform, and they made a heavy, muffled sound when they landed.

All the soldiers were experienced, and they knew that these boxes were filled with silver, and they were all excited.

It's just that because Huang Degong was standing on the general platform, looking down majestically, no one dared to move or speak.

Although Huang Degong treated his soldiers well, he was also strict in running the army, and no one would dare to violate military regulations in front of him.

Six to seven thousand soldiers with bright armor under Jian Guo's hands came all at once.

It didn't stop until the last heroic female general came in with hundreds of female soldiers.

The female general walked up to the platform, Huang Degong immediately cupped his fists and said, "Red Admiral."

On the pier, Huang Degong got acquainted with Hong Niangzi until she was the admiral of the military affairs of the imperial guards with Zhu Yuxi, and she was deeply trusted.

The red lady didn't push her too much, she cupped her fists in return to Huang Degong, "Uncle Jingnan."

Then he made a gesture of please.

Both of them are not polite people, Huang Degong immediately stepped forward with a serious expression and said with displeasure: "Just now I was participating in the military discussion on the imperial boat, but I got an urgent report from the pier, saying that you are waiting for the payment - it is simply Make me lose face in front of the supervisor!"

In the last half of the sentence, Huang Degong's tone was very serious, which made many soldiers who spontaneously participated in the payroll couldn't help but bow their heads, feeling ashamed and regretful, thinking that they shouldn't be fighting today.

"I was going to go back to the camp to deal with this matter severely, but the supervisor is magnanimous. Hearing that you have been absent for two months, he immediately asked the red admiral of the imperial guards to bring people over with money to make up for your salary!
And it's not the one tael of silver and eight buckets of grain per month before, but three taels of silver in cash, that is to say, this time you will receive six taels of silver in full! "

Hearing this, even with Huang Degong in charge, many soldiers couldn't help shouting excitedly——

"That's paid? Really?"

"Receive six taels of military pay in full at a time? I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"Didn't you say that Princess Jianguo would treat us badly? How could she pay so much at once? What's wrong with that?"

"···"

Ordinary soldiers either couldn't believe it, or were surprised and laughed, or were in a dream.

Zhang Jie, Qiu Yue, Chen Xiance and Ma Degong standing in front of their respective troops were equally astonished.

Among them, Ma Degong looked fine, while Zhang Jie and the three of them were all surprised.

They never imagined that Auntie Zhu would be willing to spend more than [-] yuan to pay their newly attached army!
　Second more.
