Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 585 The Emperor Pays His Pay (Fourth Change)
Chongzhen felt refreshed after paying homage to the Taimiao. With Wu Guojun's victory in Jizhen, he felt that he could do it again, and stood up again!

With such a strong army and good generals, why worry about not being able to pacify the world?

The great victory in Ji Town is really too encouraging, maybe there will be good news later.

The Daling River battle fell into a passive state. Everyone was thinking of saving the fire near the water, and never thought about the big detour strategy to support the Daling River war from the back of the Mongols.

Now Wu Guojun, the pillar of the country, has done it.

The entire imperial court became beaming, who would not be happy after winning the battle?

Of course Tobe is unhappy!

Not only did they get rewards this time, but they also had to make up for the salaries of the officers and soldiers of Ji Town!
It is already very difficult for the imperial court to deal with Liao's salary. Where does the money come from when it is paying Jizhen's army?
But how could he not be rewarded for this great victory?
Otherwise, the soldiers will be chilled.

The last time Liang Tingdong said that he wanted to increase Liao's salary, Bi Ziyan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, wrote ten articles to refute it. Now it is difficult for ordinary people to live, and increasing Liao's salary will only make ordinary people join the rebellion.

But Chongzhen had already made up his mind to increase Liao's salary, ignored Bi Ziyan's advice, and finally threw Liang Tingdong out of the blame, letting him rest for a few years before reuse.

Faced with Chongzhen's request of 100 million taels, Bi Ziyan scratched his head and took out 30 taels of silver from the household department. This is still the Liao salary that has not been issued.

If Dalinghe is defeated or suffers heavy casualties, it will save a lot of military expenses, and the compensation will have to wait.

Chongzhen was naturally dissatisfied, and asked Bi Ziyan to make money, but it is hard for a smart woman to make a living without rice. He really couldn't find any money. The Grand Canal was blocked, and Liao's salary had not yet been sent in full.

The taxes owed by various places are not small, and if the Grand Canal is blocked, there will be even more reasons not to escort them.

"The household department really only has 30 taels?"

"Your Majesty, the household department has no money."

Chongzhen's face was very ugly, and he said immediately: "We have to collect money, and we can't let the meritorious soldiers feel cold!"

All the elders in the cabinet began to play dead.

Anyway, the imperial court has no money, but the emperor has money!

The eunuchs in the palace spend 50 taels a month. Whoever says that the emperor has no money, no one can believe it?
When Wei Zhongxian was in power, one of the eunuchs could accept 1 taels of bribes a day.

Everyone has money, but the court has no money!
The Duke of England got up and said: "Your Majesty, I have not won such a great victory in Ming Dynasty for a long time. I am willing to donate 3000 taels of silver to the soldiers of Ji Town. I hope they can continue their efforts!"

Now he has to save face, who let his son also play in Ji Town!

Wu Guojun got so many heads all at once, and he still has the heads of the Jurchen Tartars in his hand. The British Lord knows it, so he wants to sell it to the officers and soldiers of Ji Town.

With the lead of the British Duke, the nobles donated 1000 taels, hundreds of taels, and so on.

In short, less than 8 taels of silver were collected.

Regarding Xungui's willingness to pay, the civil servants naturally knew that their son was serving in the Jizhen army, and they cursed shamelessly in their hearts.

But why does the emperor eat this set!

This shows that Xungui is trying to get closer to the emperor, even if it is only a few hundred taels of silver, in Chongzhen's view, it is true that courtesy is light and affection is heavy!

With the leaders of the nobles, Chongzhen looked hopefully at the rest of the civil servants, and also hoped that they could share my worries and solve the difficulties for Ming Dynasty.

However, their money is obtained through hard work and greed. How can they show off their wealth? The civil servants are all poor people!
Chongzhen had no choice but to grit his teeth, took out silver from Neinu to make up for the reward, and asked the cabinet to decree to send 100 million taels of silver to Jizhen.

The cabinet got the emperor's will and the degree of importance, and immediately drafted an order for the household department to take 70 taels of silver and issue rewards.

The household department and others did not dare to delay, and the ministers arranged for someone to send 50 taels of silver to Jizhen without telling the upright and honest Shangshu Bi Ziyan.

The escorting officers and soldiers worked hard and did not dare to be negligent, so they left the capital and went straight to Jizhen.

They were careful all the way, without any accidents and with a lot of money, they safely delivered 30 taels of silver to the general's mansion.

Wu Guojun, the commander-in-chief, deeply felt the greatness of the emperor's grace, and called the deputy commander-in-chief, generals, guerrilla generals and others to lead the army's salary.

If he wanted to do something big and win the support of his subordinates, he had to be willing to spend money.

Wu Guojun publicly stated that our brothers in Jizhen will be worthy of the imperial court and the people of Liming from now on.

Tell the brothers under your command who paid our military salary!
Deputy Chief Soldier Chen Guowei and others praised the emperor's grace, and the general is mighty. From now on, the brothers will only follow the lead of the general, and will do their best to kill the Tartars and wipe out the northern captives!
When they came out of the General Military Mansion, Fenrun took the remaining 20 taels of silver.

The general Wang Peng called the garrison, thousands of households, and hundreds of households, saying that the general master had asked for military pay from the emperor for the brothers to live on.

Everyone has to get the money, and if the master finds out who didn't get the money, that person will die!

Under such a strict military order, General Banner Zhang Meng took ten taels of silver from the adults of Baihu, and gave Xiao Qi Zhou Lu six taels of silver, asking him to distribute it to his brothers.

Xiao Qi Zhou Lu called nine brothers and said that the master gave us military pay, five hundred cash each, we must remember Mr. Wu!

From now on, if he points east, we cannot go west.

"Brother Zhou, this is not enough for several years of military pay."

"Some hair is good."

Xiaoqi Zhou Lu sighed: "If it wasn't for the boss and the others killing a large number of Mongols, we wouldn't even have five hundred wen, and the emperor wouldn't care about us!"

"Why didn't King Gao Chuang go into the palace last time and kill him, and replace him with an emperor who will pay us!"

Chongzhen paid salaries to the officers and soldiers of Jizhen, and everyone was very happy from top to bottom, except Chongzhen and the vast number of grassroots soldiers who were both happy and angry!

The soldiers were happy that the money was finally distributed, and they were so angry that it was the same as if they hadn't!

Chongzhen was so happy that he won the battle and had to use money from his own money to reward him. Although it hurts, but he can get the support and love of the soldiers in Ji Town, the money is worth the money.

He was looking forward to this wave of rewards, so that the officers and soldiers of Ji Town could fight the enemy bravely and support the attack on the Daling River from the flanks.

Chongzhen also quickly spread the news to Liaodong, and asked Sun Chengzong to widely publicize it to the enemy.

I, Ming Dynasty, have pacified Wuliangha, rebelled against the capital of Bourgeois, controlled thousands of miles of territory, and went straight to the lair of the Mongols.

Sun Chengzong frowned slightly as he looked at the victory report of Jizhen sent by the emperor.

When did Wu Guojun become so powerful?

When did Duoyan Sanwei become so weak!
At this time, it really made him feel suspicious. Could it be that the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade?
Yang Zhaoji, who died of illness in the Jizhen army, left Wu Guojun with a good foundation, allowing him to go out and make nests.

However, with the great victory in Jizhen, half a thousand people were killed, and there must be a lot of people killed.

Sun Chengzong thought for a while, and then sent people to Dalinghe and other places to publicize that the Ming army defeated the [-] coalition army of Wuliangha and killed [-] people. .

Put pressure on Huang Taiji first to see if he dares to continue to besiege Dalinghe City with heavy troops.
