Jian Nu takes the initiative to send someone thousands of miles away

Chapter 114

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, there was such a ruthless man as Comrade Lao Zhu, and there was corruption in the officialdom. There was still no way to eliminate corruption in officialdom. Overall, the Hongwu Dynasty was pretty good.

Comrade Lao Zhu came from a poor background and knew the suffering of ordinary people. Therefore, when formulating the national policies of the Ming Dynasty, he was indeed considerate of the people's sentiments. For soldiers who died in battle for the country, if an officer is killed in battle, his eldest son can inherit the position. If the son is old

If you are young, you can receive full salary until you reach adulthood and inherit the position. If there is no eldest son, then the eldest grandson and the second eldest grandson.

If a soldier is killed in action and there is no one to inherit the position, he will be given full military pay for three years, and then it will be reduced by half. If there is a son who inherits the position of a soldier, only funeral expenses will be paid.

If he dies and no one inherits his position, he will give half of his military pay to his parents and wife for life. If a soldier is killed in battle, his wife will be given full military pay for three years, which is thirty-six shi of rice, and then three to six dou of food per month for life.

It can be said that the soldiers of the Ming Army in the early Ming Dynasty did not have to worry about their aftermath. If they died in battle, the court would take care of their families.

But the problem is, no matter how good the Sutra is, the monk will recite it incorrectly.

The combat effectiveness of the Ming army plummeted due to the Wanli Korean War. Although this war ended in victory for the Ming Dynasty, in these two battles, the Ming army suffered casualties of about 30,000 horses (some data say it was 50,000 horses) and lost a lot of supplies.

, money and food.

After the Korean War, the Wanli Dynasty had already experienced a financial crisis. For this reason, the smart ministers saved the standard of pension for the fallen soldiers. According to the "Jinglue Restoration Essentials", the first stage of the Ming army's entry into the DPRK was when the Japanese army was defeated in Pyongyang.

, Kaicheng, Seoul and three capitals), the Ming army killed a total of 1,241 officers and soldiers.

Details can be seen from the pension amount:

Nine generals were killed in battle, including two commanding envoys (fourth-grade military attachés), each worth ten taels of silver.

The two members of Qian Zong (the sixth grade) each have eight taels of silver (the inner Yang Hu has a long way to go, so add two taels of silver)

There are two members in total, (from the sixth grade) each member is six taels

There are three members of Bai Zong (the seventh rank), five taels each

One thousand, two hundred and thirty-two soldiers, each with thirty taels of silver

The pension for soldiers who died in battle was three taels of silver, and the highest-ranking commander was only ten taels of silver. Even based on the prices at that time, was this standard considered high?

In fact, it is really not high. It is only equivalent to two to three months of military pay for soldiers. In the Chongzhen Dynasty, the reward standard was even lower. Sun Chengzong took command, organized the Ming army to restore the four cities, expelled the slaves, and restored the merits of the four cities.

Fu Yin's son, Jin Yiwei, commanded the hereditary affairs. He received fifty taels of silver and wore a red python robe.

At that time, Zhang Fengyi was the Minister of the Ministry of War, the governor of Ji, Liao, and Baoding Military Affairs. He was also crown prince Shaobao and Yin Yizi Jinyiwei commanded the hereditary affairs. He received forty taels of silver and a raid on the big red flying fish.

Xu Rulan served as the censor of Qiandu and governor of Shuntian. He was promoted to one level. He received twenty taels of silver and one piece of silk silk.

Wu Aheng, Zhang Xuezhou, and Dong Yuchen each received an additional level, and were recommended by Jingtang, receiving fifteen taels of silver.

Qiu Hejia and Liu Kexun had already been promoted, but each still received twenty taels of silver and two pieces of silk.

Zhang Chun was promoted to the rank of Jingqing, and was given twenty taels of silver in case of a lack of promotion by the governor. Wang Ji was promoted to the second level, and was given fifty taels of silver. Zhou Mengyin was promoted to the rank of minister, so he was still promoted to the first level, and was given fifteen taels of silver.

When Qu Yiyang was promoted, he was given an additional rank and received a salary of ten taels of silver. Zu Dashou was promoted to a young master, and he acted in the style of an admiral. Yin's son, Jin Yiwei, commanded Tongzhi's hereditary succession, and he received a salary of fifty taels of silver.

The Chongzhen Dynasty was indeed in financial difficulty. The court could not provide any money. The highest silver reward for Sun Chengzong, who was a first-class official, was only fifty taels.

Flower wine may cost hundreds of taels of silver, or even thousands of taels of silver.

When ordinary soldiers come here, they can basically get a bucket of food. It is considered that their immediate superiors have a conscience. There is no way, the court cannot provide the money, but soldiers are also human beings, and they also have families and mouths. If they die in battle, they will lose the backbone of their family.

The entire family may also die.

Under such circumstances, the Ming army fled and fled, feeling a lot of grievances in their hearts.

"Please, General Shang!"

"Please, General Shang, have mercy!"

"Please, General Shang!"

Looking at the brothers kneeling on the ground, how could Shang Keyi not feel uncomfortable? But the problem is that as a real soldier, even if their Dongjiang Army is nominally under the command of Cheng Shijie, accepting the command is two different things from surrendering to Cheng Shijie.

Shang Keyi is willing to follow Huang Long because he admires Huang Long's character, not because Huang Long gives him a big official position or benefits.

Most soldiers are straight-tempered. If you have the right temper, you can get your life. If you don't have the right temper, even a lot of money can't buy it.

Shang Keyi was now in a very difficult position. Seeing that Shang Keyi was indifferent, Du Hui stood up and said, "General Shang, I'm offended!"

Shang Keyi did not slash at Du Hui with his sword, but instead put down the Mo Dao in his hand.

…

On the other side, Mao Chenglu's camp also launched a mutiny among Dongjiang Army soldiers. In fact, even though Mao Chenglu was Mao Wenlong's adopted son, his prestige was not high. The mutinous Dongjiang Army soldiers took advantage of the night to pull Mao Chenglu out of bed.

, bundle them with cowhide rope and tie them into rice dumplings.

When Mao Chenglu was tied into a rice dumpling, he knew his plan and wanted to join Cheng Shijie directly.

Mao Chenglu was so angry that he yelled: "You thief, I also want to join Marshal Cheng!"

In the Dongjiang Army, not to mention that the soldiers did not have military pay, even senior generals like Mao Chenglu actually did not have military pay. Without military pay, there would be no military pay. Anyway, Lushun had money but no place to spend it. The key was that he did not have enough to eat.

As the deputy commander-in-chief of the Dongjiang Army, he has to be hungry often throughout the year. Who the hell can bear this?

"I'm sorry, General Mao, brother, let me lend you your head!"

Mao Wenlong's former servant commander, now Pi Dao's general, Hu Erqi of the Jurchen clan, swung his sword to kill Mao Chenglu.

Hu Erqi's original surname is Nala, and he belongs to the Huifa Wang surname, one of the four Haixi Jurchen tribes. He is the fourth son of Baiyindali, the last leader of the Huifa tribe. As a Jurchen, he has a tendency to destroy his family and annihilate his family.

hatred.

As early as the first year of Tianqi, Mao Wenlong led one hundred and ninety-seven warriors to a surprise attack on Dongjiang Fort, officially firing the first shot against Jiannu. Hu Erqi and Hu Erqi led more than 2,000 people from the Huifa Department to defect to Mao Wenlong. The Dongjiang Army could be in Jiannu.

The slave rear repeatedly attacked Jiannu by surprise, but they all escaped unharmed because of his contribution.

Mao Chenglu's head fell to the ground. Mao Chenglu's eyes were wide open until he died, which is the so-called death with eyes open.

Xiang Zuo suddenly rebelled.

Fan Hualong's changes.

Zhang Dalu acted quickly and led the mutiny.

Li Weiluan's tribe mutinied,

He Yongsheng and Du Jin mutinied in the Ministry of Finance.

…

When the eight generals of the Dongjiang Army and more than 26,000 soldiers mutinied collectively, Cheng Shijie's Ning Haijun General Military Mansion's frontline headquarters had moved forward to Fuzhou City.

Fuzhou City is located in Fuzhou Town, northwest of Wafangdian City in southern Liaoning. Because Fuzhou Acropolis is a city made of bluestone, although the slaves destroyed it twice, they did not destroy Fuzhou Acropolis. Although the city wall

Part of it was torn off, but it was still six to seven feet tall, and the foundation of the city wall was intact.

It is very convenient to build.

In just half a month, the Fuzhou Acropolis has been built to a height of three feet, and a large number of houses in the city have also been renovated.

At this time, Cheng Shijie received a letter from Sun Yuanhua, which contained seven to eight hundred words. The first two sentences were all non-nutritive nonsense, and the last two sentences were the key points.

Sun Yuanhua is preparing to inspect southern Liaoning.

Cheng Shijie looked at Sun Yuanhua's letter, at Song Xiance beside him, and at Lin Xuzong who was recommended by Chen Guodong. Lin Xuzong was originally the teacher of the Zhang family in Laiyang. When Chen Guodong led Ning Haijun soldiers to surround the Zhang family's old house in Laiyang, he took the initiative to join the new army.

owner.

After investigation, Cheng Shijie found out that Lin Xuzong was actually a person who was good at flattery, good at observing people's words, and had a terrible character. However, Cheng Shijie had no choice but to use it first and talk about it later.

"Mr. Song, look at this!"

Song Xiance took the letter and read it carefully.

After Song Xiance read the letter, he handed it to Lin Xuzong.

Now Cheng Shijie is surrounded by Lin Xuzong, Ma Shilin, Song Xiance and others. Song Xiance has not shown any dissatisfaction, nor has he started an open or covert fight with Lin Xuzong, Ma Shilin and others.

This made Cheng Shijie a little strange.

"Mr. Song, what do you think?"

Song Xiance smiled bitterly: "The weasel is sending New Year greetings to the rooster, it's not a good intention!"

"I think so, too!"

Cheng Shijie said calmly: "Boqi (Lin Xunzong's name!"

"Students are here!"

"Excuse me, please write a reply to Mr. Sun Futai on my behalf!"

"I don't know what the commander-in-chief means..."

"It's just that there are Jian slaves roaming in southern Liaoning. I am unable to guarantee the safety of Mr. Sun Futai. I will only invite him to come to Liaonan after I have eliminated the Jian slaves in Liaonan!"

Song Xiance smiled and said: "Lord, is this reason..."

"The reason is not important, what is important is that he must admit it!"

Cheng Shijie threw Sun Yuanhua's letter into the brazier in front of him. As the flames ignited, the letter turned to ashes.

Cheng Shijie looked at Song Xiance and said: "The weather this year is really abnormal. It has already entered February. According to the weather, it should be getting warmer. Why is it getting colder!"
