Military pay-finally-come!

Even Hong Chengchou couldn't help but stand up suddenly and asked excitedly: "More, how much military pay, say it quickly!"

Looking at the general who was about to eat people, the postman did not dare to neglect at the moment, and respectfully knelt on one knee and bowed: "Reply to the Governor, 800,000 taels."

Eight...100,000...two!...

All the generals in the camp took a breath, 800,000 taels. This means that not only can all the soldiers in Ji Liao and the soldiers in full pay, but the pensions for those soldiers who fell into battle will be paid in a lot of money.

For the hungry and thirsty border soldiers, this is like a long drought and rain.

800,000 taels, wait, where did the imperial court get so much money?

You should know that the treasury of the Ming Dynasty at this time had already been exhausted and the people were suffering even more. On the one hand, the court continued to collect taxes, and the burden on the people continued to increase, so thieves broke out everywhere. The court continued to collect taxes and continued to suppress the rebellion, in such an infinite vicious cycle until it was finished.

People who can beat people often have a hot temper. Cao Bianjiao is just a hot temper. He rushed over and stretched out his palm like a palm fan and grabbed the postman like a chicken: "Tell me! Did you see the 800,000 taels of silver with your own eyes or rumors? Who is the person escorting military pay in the court? When will he arrive in Liaodong?"

The postman was lifted in the air like a chicken, and he grinned in pain: "Yes, it was Li Shouyan, the general of Changping who was escorting him personally. The crown prince was the general of Ji Liao, and personally went to the border to comfort the soldiers. At this time, they were afraid that they had arrived in Fengning and arrived at the border soon."

The court actually sent General Changping to escort military pay, and the one who came was His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty. The generals looked at each other again, and it was true that they said this.

Cao Bianjiao finally put down the postman and bowed to him: "I'm sorry, brother, please forgive me if I have offended me."

Fortunately, the postman was also a person who had seen the world. He nodded at Cao Bianjiao to show that he didn't care. Then, he took out a letter from his arms: "Governor, this is the letter written by His Highness the Crown Prince."

The letter was written by Zhu Cilang, and it was directly given to Hong Chengchou. Hong Chengchou took the letter and opened it impatiently, and the generals surrounded him.

The letter was indeed written by Zhu Cilang: Hong Chengchou, the Governor of Ji Liao, listened to Xuan, and the prince went north soon. The court knew that the generals were poor and that the country was lost. Now, 800,000 yuan of military salaries were allocated from the capital to comfort our Ji Liao soldiers. I hope that the generals will fight bravely to fight the enemy, defend our Ming Dynasty, and be loyal to the generals!

Hong Chengchou's hand holding the letter trembled slightly. Eight hundred thousand, it was really eight hundred thousand taels.

The generals below immediately cheered and excited, such a huge sum of money. With this money, not only can the soldiers live happily, but they can also strengthen border defenses and purchase weapons.

If the court values ​​our border soldiers so much, if everyone doesn’t fight to the death, would it be worthy of the court?

Hong Chengchou excitedly picked up the memorial that he wanted to write to Emperor Chongzhen on the table and tore it to pieces. Then, he stuffed the torn memorial into his mouth and whimpered: "The court has not forgotten us, Long lively Master has not forgotten us!"

Hong Chengchou was a little excited. The previous second he was furious and wanted to write to Chongzhen to vent his dissatisfaction and complaints. Now it seems that it is his villain's heart.

The court is so difficult now, with natural disasters and man-made disasters. Long Sui Ye actually resisted the opposition and squeezed out the 800,000 taels of silver from his teeth, and focused on the border soldiers first. How could Hong Chengchou not be moved? He was excited and tore up his memorial and ate it.

"Governor Hong!" The soldiers were shocked.

Hong Chengchou waved his hand and sobbed in tears. Then, he walked down from the desk inside the tent. He knelt down to the south outside the tent with a thud: "Long live the emperor!"

All the generals were also moved, and the hearts of people were full of flesh. The Emperor Wansui made such a big deal. Not only did he bring all the military pay he had owed in the past at one time, but he even asked the young crown prince to come to the border to comfort the soldiers. What does this mean? It shows that Emperor Wansui trusts the soldiers on the border and the safety of the Ming border. I will leave it to you.

When Hong Chengchou knelt down, the generals behind him knelt down together. Hong Chengchou patted his chest and burst into tears: "Long live the emperor, the king's kindness is like a sea, and the minister's integrity is like a mountain. The minister Hong Chengchou must be loyal to the Ming Dynasty to the death!"

This is actually an extremely ironic remark. Hong Chengchou once wrote a poem: The king's kindness is as deep as the sea, and his ministers are as heavy as the mountain! As a result, after being captured in the Battle of Songjin, he made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty's establishment of the Central Plains.

These are not important to Zhu Cilang, at least not at the moment. What he can do is to take the 800,000 taels of silver north to prevent the defeat in the Battle of Songjin.

Fortunately, time is still in time.

Perhaps it was difficult to understand Hong Chengchou's overly excited surging. Cao Bianjiao was more of a silent wild wolf. As a fierce man in the Ming Dynasty, Cao Bianjiao didn't talk much. This time he put forward his own opinion: "Governor Hong, you and I are not busy with this, and we are grateful to the court. The bandits in Fengning are rampant. Although Li Shouyan escorted the military pay, they would think it would be better to send troops to greet him."

Hong Chengchou then realized: "Yes, yes, I have forgotten this level. Transformation Dragon, you bring three thousand iron cavalry to Fengning to welcome the prince Qiansui and his group, and make sure they are all done."

Cao Bianjiao smiled slightly: "Is it still possible to use so many people in Fengning? Only eight hundred people will be enough to bring in the end."

For a fierce man like Cao Bianjiao, three thousand subordinates once chased more than 100,000 rebels. If it weren't for the face of the prince Qiansui, and the amount of 800 taels of silver, eight hundred people would be more than 800,000 taels of silver.

Fengning County, due to the years of wars between the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu in Liaodong, the tourist attractions in the buffer zone of Liaodong and Fengning in the capital gradually became less and less popular here.

Although this place is not as chaotic as Shanxi, it is said that there are many bandits who cause rebellion. Moreover, these bandits have become increasingly fierce over the years.

After passing Fengning County, General Li Shouyan became obviously nervous. After all, the escort he was escorting was a total of 800,000 taels of silver. This batch of military pay was so heavy that if there was a problem, he would not redeem it.

Therefore, Li Shouyan did not dare to delay any dangerous wilderness along the way. His 3,000 soldiers escorted the military pay and slowly headed north.

But the civilians who transported military pay could not bear it anymore and could not get enough rest after working long distances, and some people began to complain. And what's so bad is that the mules and horses could not bear it.
