Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 80 Money

"Master, there is absolutely no such thing!" The sergeant hastily argued to Cao Huachun, "The house next door is actually a remnant of a king's thief, and now that his subordinates are doing business under orders, naturally he refuses to admit it, and I hope the master will learn from him! "

When Jiang Dong heard this and wanted to speak, Cao Huachun was already angry. He stared at them coldly and shouted sharply, "Enough, isn't that enough about Ma Dayong? Those foreign court censors, and others Everyone is staring at Dongchang! I didn't expect you to make trouble yourself, so you don't pay attention to our family, do you?"

He was furious like a thunderbolt, and immediately frightened all the fans, and they knelt down to be scolded one by one, not daring to raise their heads.

"Lu Yongfu?"

"Your subordinate is here!" A sergeant behind Cao Huachun immediately came out after hearing the sound, clasping his fists and waiting for orders.

Cao Huachun shouted coldly: "Take them all and lock them up, and wait for our family to deal with them!"

"Obey!" Lu Yongfu immediately accepted the order when he heard it, and with a wave of his hand, a group of guards rushed forward and took away Jiang Dong and the captain.

"Gu Xinran?"

"The subordinate is here!" Another sergeant waited for the call.

Cao Huachun stared at him, and said in a cold voice: "You preside over the inspection of this place, there should be no more accidents. Once there is a result, report it to our family immediately. Before sunset today, our family must report the result to the emperor. If there is any delay, only You are asking!"

"As ordered!"

After Cao Huachun finished giving these instructions, he immediately turned around and left without checking anything.

He had just been beaten by Emperor Chongzhen, and he was taking revenge on those eunuchs who were also in power, so naturally he didn't dare to think of reaching out at this time.However, even though he thought in his heart that Jiang Dong probably told the truth, he didn't check it on the spot.Otherwise, if it is found out that all the old men who were searched here secretly hid their belongings, should they be dealt with or not dealt with?

Therefore, he can only press the matter first, and then deal with it after looking back at the situation.As for whether it is justice or not, that is simply not within the scope of his consideration.What is best for him is what he has to consider.

Of course, he would not know that all his conversations here had already been transmitted to Emperor Chongzhen through wiretapping seeds.

But at this time, Emperor Chongzhen did not pay attention to Cao Huachun's eavesdropping seed, but was watching the news from Wang Chengen.

Although Lu Xiangsheng was injured, he was still able to continue to lead the army, that is, the injury was not a serious problem. Regarding this, Emperor Chongzhen was gratified.However, after Lu Xiangsheng made statistics on the situation of the army, Emperor Chongzhen frowned.

After Lu Xiangsheng bandaged his wounds and had a meal, he went out to inspect the army without waiting for the statistics of the army.Wang Chengen naturally accompanied him, so that Emperor Chongzhen had a chance to fully understand.

Things in the army are far more complicated than he imagined.It's not that everything will change after Lu Xiang is promoted to command.

First of all, after the Julu battle is over, there are many things to do.

Of the 36 cavalry troops under Lu Xiangsheng's command, there are basically only [-] people left, and many of them are wounded.As for the war horses, there are only [-] horses left that can be used!Most of the war horses have been eaten.After this battle, those who survived have no combat power and must rest, and they will not be able to recover in a short time.

If this army had not been besieged in Jiazhuang, it is estimated that with such a high casualty rate, even Lu Xiangsheng would have collapsed long ago.This is also the reason why the siege battle requires several times the number of troops, which cannot be compared with field battles.

Gao Qiqian's headquarters consisted of three thousand Tianxiong troops, with about 1000 casualties. Most of the troops were related by relatives, so almost everyone wore mourning.During the war, they fought desperately for their loved ones without fear, but after the war, the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army who lost their loved ones could not cheer up without external pressure.

As for the other ministries, there were also many casualties among ordinary soldiers, but the servants of the generals were basically still there.But these people's will to fight is a problem, and they can't compare with Tianxiong's army at all.

In addition, there is another very important issue, which is the pension for the many soldiers who died in battle.

But now, even the living soldiers can't get any military pay, who can care about those who are dead?This is still good, after all, the person is dead, and the matter of pensions is delayed, and not many people have any objections.But what about the wounded soldiers?They endured pain, especially those who were disabled, looking forward to receiving pension money, but does the imperial court have this money?

At this time, the generals of all armies reported to Lu Xiangsheng regardless of whether the casualties were servants or ordinary soldiers. They were all complaining to Lu Xiangsheng and asking Lu Xiangsheng to solve the matter.On the contrary, the director Gao Qiqian, who has no such pressure at this time, is a little gloating in his heart watching how Lu Xiangsheng handles this matter.

Others may not know it, but Lu Xiangsheng has led troops for many years, so he naturally knows the importance of this matter.If the casualties cannot be effectively appeased, what will the other living soldiers think?Who will bravely kill the enemy?No matter how powerful Lu Xiangsheng is, if he doesn't solve this problem, he won't be able to lead them to fight the Manchu army!

In fact, this is the commonality of the Ming army.Without military pay, no rewards, and no pensions, who would fight desperately against powerful enemies?The so-called righteousness?This is just a joke!

On the other hand, the Manchus were able to boost morale through looting, and it was also because of this that many Ming troops turned around to invade Daming after they defected to the Manchus, but they were brave and invincible. This is actually the reason.

Lu Xiangsheng was also very helpless about this, so he asked Yang Tinglin, the military quartermaster, to count the property in the army. As you can imagine, including the gains from cleaning the battlefield, as far as the things on the corpses of the Ertars were concerned, there was no property at all.In order to rescue Lu Xiangsheng before, Gao Qi also took money out of his own pocket.But this time, it was impossible for him to take out his own money.

Lu Xiangsheng had no choice, he couldn't boost morale by sending troops to loot the people.Therefore, although he heard the report from Yebu that the Manchu army was heading north, the army could not fight recklessly, and could only lead the army to follow the Manchu army from a distance, but it could not put any pressure on the Manchu army.

While sending messengers to the capital, he figured out a way by himself.After Lu Xiangsheng accepted the power to command the army, he was even more tired.For the time being, he can't do anything else, the only thing he can do is to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers in the army.

Regarding these situations, Emperor Chongzhen knew about them immediately, and this was a lesson for him.Knowing what aspects to pay attention to when leading the army to fight in the future, although he has extensive knowledge from later generations, he only has a deep understanding of these things when he actually encounters these things.

At this moment, he remembered the little money he just had in his hand, and it seemed that he had to spend it immediately.Wang Chengen handed over 4 taels of silver, and Dongchang, including Cao Huachun, handed over 770 eight taels, five cents and six cents, which is about 14 taels.I don't know how much silver Wang Zhixin will get for inspection?Is it enough for Lu Xiangsheng to pay for the disabled soldiers and reorganize the army?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help sighing.On the side of the Yuma Supervisor, he also needs to save some money to improve morale, and he can't give it all to Lu Xiangsheng.

It's also thanks to myself that I'm already raising money here, and I can still deal with emergencies!If it were replaced by the original Emperor Chongzhen, I wonder if he would be embarrassed to death by money?
　Thanks to the rabbit for eating the candy cake!
