114 Proof of Loyalty to the King and Serve the Country

Wu Zhong was shocked when he heard this, his eyes turned, and he pretended to be exaggerated and said, "Shen Shang? Why? Your Highness is the prince of the Qing Dynasty. He has great military achievements and is full of elite soldiers and generals. How could a lowly Shanxi Shang be able to cling to?"

"Haha!" The Tartar couldn't help laughing when he heard this, laughing at Wu Zhong's loneliness and his shallowness, coupled with Wu Zhong's original identity as the General Banner of the Jinyiwei (Wu Zhong is still the General Banner on the surface), which made him feel superior and proudly preached to Wu Zhong, "You don't understand this! If our Qing Dynasty was in the corner of Liaodong, if we were not these Shanxi merchants, we would have died in poverty! It was thanks to their transportation of food, iron and other supplies, we could grow stronger. You Ming people look down on merchants, but these merchants are treasures in our Qing Dynasty. If the business is getting bigger, let alone His Highness He Shuorui, even the emperor today treats us with courtesy!"

Wu Zhong was shocked again when he heard this. He did not expect that the Shanxi merchants were so bold! But on the surface, he corrected with a charming smile: "Wrong, wrong, I am not a Ming anymore. I am now a member of the Qing Dynasty."

Seeing the Tartar pointing at him, he didn't care, and continued to ask curiously: "When the war is now, what are their merchants coming here?"

"Who knows!" The Tartar obviously had a low status enough, and shook his head and said, "Anyway, every time they appeared, it would be beneficial for our Qing Dynasty."

Wu Zhong was dissatisfied with it and wanted to ask again, but the Tartar was a little unhappy. He couldn't answer and couldn't show off his identity. He just scolded Wu Zhong and left.

At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng was also having a headache when the Ming army, which had been with the Qing army for a long time.

Don’t think that he can stick to the Qing army, and Dorgon has no temper, but only Lu Xiangsheng himself knows that this is based on knowing the movements of the Qing army.

To do this, the night sent out must be strong. But how to do it? Only with a heavy reward must be brave!

Thanks to the emperor who allocated the silver, he gave the silver rewards to the wards who did not collect at night. There has never been such a chance to reward such a lot for many years. Those who did not collect at night were afraid of missing this village and there would be no store, so they would naturally be dead.

But after these days, the money reserved for silver rewards was almost used; and Ye Busheng, who dared to fight for the desperate situation, also lost a lot in the confrontation with the Qing Dynasty's horse explorer. In the following confrontation between the sentry, the Ming army was a little overwhelmed.

If the problem is found when the whistle finds out, it will be impossible to grasp the movements of the Qing army in time. When Lu Xiangsheng makes a judgment, it is naturally impossible to stick to the Qing army as before.

It was this reason that made him very worried. But he couldn't say this reason, only Wang Chengen knew about it.

At this moment, it was suddenly spread outside that an angel has arrived again.

When Lu Xiangsheng and Wang Chengen heard this, they did not dare to neglect and immediately went to welcome the angel.

Seeing that the person who came was just a eunuch in the palace, Lu Xiangsheng knew that this should be the order. He was a little unsure and didn't know what the emperor was going to explain.

Logically speaking, it may be a reply to the previous memorial for Chen Hongxu, the governor of Jinzhou, but it seems that it is not. It is a bit in time. Could it be that someone in the court told the emperor to urge him to drive the Qing army out of seclusion quickly?

It is not unreasonable for Lu Xiangsheng to think so. After all, the emperor had allocated so much money to this place before, and probably many people were jealous of it. If the money was given, what about the matter? There must be an explanation, right?

In fact, it is almost a common practice to make mistakes with the generals leading the war in the court. When suppressing thieves, I met several times, but I simply stood and spoke without any pain in my back.

Thinking of this in my heart, Lu Xiangsheng was also mentally prepared.

But who knew that the angels were indeed here to spread the order, but the meaning of the emperor conveyed was completely different from what he thought.

It turned out that Emperor Chongzhen knew that the morale of the disabled soldiers in Lu Xiangsheng's army was very low. At the same time, he also understood that even if the money was given before, it would be just a drop in the bucket for the disabled soldiers. Therefore, he had already had a draft of the draft. When Wang Chengen's good news came, he sent eunuchs to pass the order. However, Lu Xiangsheng led the army to keep moving and transfer the location, so it was a little late when he came to the door.

Emperor Chongzhen's order was to let Lu Xiangsheng count that this time the disabled soldiers were indeed injured and disabled when fighting bravely, so he could report it to him. He was planning to arrange it in the palace to replace some of the Han generals.

In the decree, Emperor Chongzhen clearly stated that in his eyes, the disability of these soldiers is a proof of their loyalty to the emperor and serving the country. Compared with the great Han general who has made no achievements, he should receive such honors!

After hearing this order, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't even believe it. Is this really the emperor's attitude towards military soldiers?

Throughout the dynasties, all the Han generals have been tall and big, and they are all necessary conditions for the storefront. When will these Han generals be replaced with disabled soldiers with broken legs, wouldn’t it be a big laugh?

But if we look at it from another perspective, as the emperor said, the disability of these soldiers is a proof of their loyalty to the emperor and serving the country, which is completely different!

Lu Xiangsheng dared to conclude that once this decree is announced, it will surely inspire many soldiers to serve their lives without any worries!

After the eunuch finished promulgating the edict, he smiled and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "The emperor is very sorry that the court has no money now, so he can only give these Ming soldiers an arrangement within his ability. When he has money in the future, the pension system of Ming soldiers will definitely be completed again!"

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but be amazed again. It is said that a good wife cannot cook without rice, but the emperor can still think of ways to inspire the soldiers in this predicament. I really don't know how the emperor thought of this method!

In addition to admiration, he immediately ordered the entire army to announce the emperor's decree.

This will is not about solving the arrangements of many disabled soldiers, but rather expressing an attitude of the emperor. The soldiers discriminated against by the world are very important in the eyes of the emperor! For ordinary soldiers, when they understand the emperor's wishes, they can imagine the excitement in their hearts.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted, and they immediately resounded over the military camp.

At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng realized something from the emperor's attitude of attaching so much importance to military soldiers. His confidence in ending this troubled times was unprecedentedly high.

So, the military orders went down one by one, and the night that had been weakened was not stopped, and then they rushed out of the military camp in groups.

Some news from the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties was fed back to Emperor Chongzhen through eavesdropping seeds.
