Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 114 Proof of Loyalty to the King and Serving the Country

Wu Zhong was shocked when he heard this, rolled his eyes, and pretended to be exaggerated: "Shan merchants? Why? Your Highness is the prince of the Qing Dynasty. He has made great achievements in battle. He has elite soldiers and strong generals under his command. How can he be a lowly Jin merchant?" Can businessmen cling to it?"

"Hehe!" The tartar couldn't help laughing, laughing at Wu Zhong's ignorance and his shallowness. In addition, Wu Zhong's original status as the general banner of Jinyiwei (Wu Zhongming was still the general banner), even more so. Let him have a sense of superiority, so he proudly preached to Wu Zhong, "You don't understand this! Our Qing Dynasty is in the corner of Liaodong. If there were no Shanxi merchants, we would still be poor! Thanks to them Only by transporting food, ironware and other materials can we grow stronger. You Ming people look down on merchants, but these merchants are treasures in our Qing Dynasty. Those who have grown in business, not to mention His Royal Highness Prince He Shuorui, are today The emperor also treats each other with courtesy!"

Wu Zhong was shocked again when he heard that, he didn't expect that Shanxi merchants and captives would be so daring!But on the surface, he corrected with a charming smile: "Wrong, wrong, I am not a Ming person anymore, I am now a member of the Qing Dynasty."

Seeing the tartar pointing at him with a mocking look, he didn't care, and continued to ask curiously: "When the war is going on, what are these merchants doing here?"

"Who knows!" The tartar was obviously not high enough, shaking his head and said, "Anyway, every time they show up, it is good for our Qing Dynasty."

Wu Zhong was dissatisfied and wanted to ask again, but the Tatar was a little unhappy. He couldn't show off his answer and lost his identity, so he directly scolded Wu Zhong and left.

At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng was also suffering from a headache at the location of the Ming army, which was half a day away from the Manchu and Qing army.

Don't look at him being able to cling to the Manchu army, and Dorgon has no temper, but only Lu Xiangsheng knows that this is all based on his knowledge of the Manchu army's movements.

And to do this, the Yebushou sent out must work hard.How can it be powerful?Only under heavy rewards must there be brave men!
Thanks to the emperor's allocation of money, for the sentry who did not accept it at night, it was a real reward.Such a rewarding opportunity like this has never been available for many years. Those who don’t pay at night are afraid of missing this village, and there will be no such shop. Naturally, I will do my best.

But after these days, the money set aside as a silver reward is almost used up; and Yebu, who dared to work hard, also lost a lot in the confrontation with the Manqing Tanma.In the ensuing confrontation between sentries and scouts, the Ming army would be a little powerless if it didn't close at night.

And if there is a problem with the sentry, there is no way to grasp the movements of the Manchu army in time. When Lu Xiangsheng makes a judgment, it is naturally impossible to stick to the Manchu army as before.

It was for this reason that he was very worried.But there was no way to say the reason, only Wang Chengen knew about it.

Just at this moment, it was suddenly announced that another angel had arrived.

When Lu Xiangsheng and Wang Chengen heard this, they didn't dare to neglect, and immediately went to meet the angel.

Seeing that the person who came was just a eunuch from the palace, Lu Xiangsheng knew that this should be Zhongzhi.He was a little confused, he didn't know what the emperor wanted to explain?
Logically speaking, it might be a reply to the previous memorial for Chen Hongxu, the magistrate of Jinzhou, to relieve the siege, but it doesn't seem to be the case, and the time is a bit inconsistent.Could it be that someone in the court persuaded the emperor to urge him to drive the Manchu and Qing troops out of the customs as soon as possible?
The reason why Lu Xiangsheng thought so was not unreasonable.After all, the emperor allocated so much money to this side before, it is estimated that many people are jealous.The money has been given, what about the matter?There must be an explanation, right?
In fact, it is almost customary for the generals in the court to dictate to the generals who lead the battle outside.In the past when suppressing thieves, I have met several times, just standing and talking without back pain.

Thinking about this in his heart, Lu Xiangsheng was also mentally prepared.

But who knew, the angel did come to convey the imperial edict, but the emperor's meaning conveyed was completely different from what he had imagined.

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 only be a drop in the bucket for the disabled soldiers.Therefore, he had already prepared a plan, and when the news of Wang Chengen's success arrived, he sent eunuchs to deliver the order.It's just that Lu Xiangsheng and his army kept moving and changing locations, so it was a little late when they came to the door.

Emperor Chongzhen's order was for Lu Xiangsheng to count the disabled soldiers this time. Those who were indeed wounded and disabled in heroic battles could be reported to him. He planned to arrange for them to be placed 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 the proof of their loyalty to the emperor and serving the country, and they should receive such honors more than the Han generals who have not made any achievements!

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

Throughout the dynasties, the generals of the Han Dynasty have all been tall and powerful, and they are all necessary conditions for appearance anyway.When, if these big Han generals were replaced by disabled soldiers with missing arms and legs, wouldn't it make people laugh out loud!

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

Lu Xiangsheng dared to conclude that as long as this decree is announced, it will definitely inspire many soldiers to work hard, and there will be no worries for the future!

After the eunuch finished announcing the decree, he smiled and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "The emperor is very sorry, the court has no money now, so we can only make an arrangement for these Ming soldiers within the scope of our ability. When we have money in the future, the pension system for Ming soldiers will be reduced." It will definitely be perfect again!"

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help being amazed again.It is said that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, but the emperor can still think of ways to motivate the soldiers under such a predicament.I really don't know how the emperor came up with this idea!
Admired, he immediately sent an order to the entire army to announce the emperor's will.

This decree does not lie in the arrangement of how many disabled soldiers can be solved, but expresses an attitude of the emperor.The soldiers who are discriminated against by the world are very important in the eyes of the emperor!For ordinary soldiers, one can imagine the excitement in their hearts when they realized the emperor's intentions.

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

The shouts of tens of thousands of soldiers immediately resounded over the barracks.

At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng has noticed something from the emperor's attitude of attaching so much importance to soldiers. His confidence in ending this troubled world is unprecedentedly high.

As a result, the military orders went down one by one, and the already weakened ones did not close at night, and drove out of the barracks one after another.

Some news from the two armies of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were all fed back to Emperor Chongzhen through the wiretapping seeds.

There was nothing wrong with Lu Xiangsheng's department. In fact, Emperor Chongzhen expected it, but Wu Zhong's feedback surprised him.
