Chapter three hundred and forty-ninth military pay

However, what Emperor Chongzhen never expected was that his son was not only greedy, but only gave the court a fraction of the matter. If he had known this, Emperor Chongzhen would have stopped the case and replaced his son and allowed other officials to continue investigating.

But it's too late now. Fortunately, Zhu Cixuan's corruption of 10 million taels was covered very tightly. He would not reveal it for a while. When Emperor Chongzhen discovered it in the future, the money would have been spent long ago. By then, Zhu Cixuan would be fooled with his father, and he would not give it to him if he wanted money or even give it to him if he wanted it.

When Linghu Yunlong heard that the prince was summoned, he hurriedly entered the Xuanfu office. This guy was tall and his armor looked majestic: "Your Highness, what are the instructions?"

"Yunlong, you take the Liaodong Army's military pay to Jinzhou. Tell Hong Chengchou that you don't have to worry about military pay anymore. Since this palace has promised him, it will never owe the soldiers a penny of military pay, so do what you say."

"Your Highness, you can find someone else to transport food and grass. You will have to train these days." Linghu Yunlong was a little unhappy.

Transporting food and grass, the work of a third-rate baggage unit. I am a vanguard general of the Huben Camp, and doing this job is a bit of a loss. It is better to stay in the military camp for training, although the daily training of Huben Camp is definitely not easy.

"What, I have a groom job, go to the stable to feed horses, are you going to go?"

Linghu Yunlong was shocked when he heard this: "Go, no, no, the last general means, I will go to Jinzhou and transport food and grass to Jinzhou."

This time I came here and hummed with satisfaction: "Get out."

After spending time together, the soldiers of the Huben Camp found that the Prince of Prince was easy to get along with. As long as you were fierce enough to train hard enough in wars, the Prince of Prince would like it.

Among them, Linghu Yunlong and Zhan Yunpeng are the best. Both of them have reached the position of the head general of the Hu Ben Camp through their own efforts. Therefore, they are also highly valued by Zhu Cixuan.

When they got familiar with each other, they became much closer to each other. The current soldiers of the Huben Camp are all loyal to Zhu Cilang.

Linghu Yunlong dared not complain anymore, and left the military camp in a burgeoning manner, then summoned the soldiers and set off for Jinzhou on the day.

Hong Chengchou was really troubled by a headache, and he didn't know what to do. The military pay was not settled yet. Seeing that the day was about to be paid, the soldiers were all watching.

Even the guards on the Jinzhou city walls were whispering. What the soldiers talked about the most was the military pay.

"You guys say, why haven't this horse team transported food and grass come yet? It's not that our military pay for April is gone."

"It's hard to say that we've been watching this city wall every day, and there's some food and grass coming over there. I heard from Old Zhao, who is beside General Wu, say that our general is still worried. I think 80% of the time, our military pay will be dragged down again next month."

"It's nothing to delay military pay for a month or two. I'm afraid the court will delay it for half a year, or even one or two years. At that time, the brothers will have to drink the northwest wind."

"It's hard to say, look at that person, when the Prince's Palace came to Jinzhou, how glorious it was. Do you still remember what the Prince said? What I promised that the court will not owe you a penny again from now on. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

"Oh, the prince's child was so excited that you believe it. Forget it, we Qiu Ba are just bitchers. I see, the good days are over!"

The soldiers on the Jinzhou city wall sighed. In their opinion, the arrears of military pay was a solid matter. It was not only April, May, June, July, and August, but also in the next few months, I was afraid that military pay would sink to the sea.

If there were food and grass troops going north, the imperial court would have sent people to inform him. After all, transporting food and grass to Liaodong is not a matter of one or two days. Sometimes it takes several months to last for half a year.

But they have not seen the postman report to me until now. In the next few months, everyone will probably have to eat braised vegetables and go back to the previous hard days.

"What is that?" In the setting sun, a Ming army soldier holding a spear stood on the city wall at the south gate of Jinzhou, looking at the southwest direction, rows of moving black dots.

The distance was far away, and the soldiers in the setting sun could not see clearly, until the sharp-eyed man shouted in horror: "There is an army, prepare for war!"

There has been no military operation of the Ming army around the surrounding area recently. At this time, an army suddenly appeared outside Jinzhou City, which made the soldiers on the city wall panic.

Where did this sudden army come from? Is it said that Jiannu is going to fight? Why did the detailed work that was scattered have not received any reward for this?

"Wait," another soldier squinted his eyes and pulled his companion: "Look, it seems to be ours."

It is not very similar to the enemy. First of all, they appeared in the wrong direction. If it were the Qing army, they should not appear in this position. The southwest direction is located in the hinterland of the Ming army. If it is the enemy, they will wait to be surrounded by the Ming army and the others.

Unless it is a food and grass force that transports supplies. As the group gradually approaches, people finally see clearly that it is indeed the Ming army's own troops.

"Yes, it's our people! There are carriages and baggage troops, I'm good at it, so many carriages!" someone shouted excitedly.

There is a difference between the front-line combat troops and the baggage troops transporting food and grass. The baggage troops are mainly transported. They generally recruit some civil servants, and the civil servants are responsible for transportation. Following a unit, the number of troops escorted is related to the amount of food and grass transported.

From Zhangjiakou to Jinzhou defense line, they all walked along the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. And they were naturally safe and secure by escorting Linghu Yunlong's Huben Camp.

When they arrived outside Jinzhou City, the soldiers guarding the city discovered them first. Then, they went to inform them in a hurry. After Hong Chengchou and others in the city learned the news, they had already seen that it was His Royal Highness's Hu Ben Camp that came.

"Governor Hong, you think it's food and grass. There are so many carriages. Your Highness is really a believer!" Zu Dashou, the guard general who had returned to Jinzhou, shouted excitedly.

Hong Chengchou was originally stationed in Songshan, but this time he came to Jinzhou to discuss the defense work of Yizhou City with Zu Dashou. Unexpectedly, he happened to meet Linghu Yunlong's transportation troops.
