Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 289 Make trouble
Take Wu Sangui for example, he looked at Bai Guangen and Bai Tengjiao next to him, and thought about it.

Since the war started, I have chased Jianlu all the way from Shanhaiguan to Jizhou, and also hunted down Jianlu and the Mongol Tartars. The credit should be similar to that of Yuan Shizhong, right?

Moreover, Yuan Shizhong was born as a rebel, and he was from a family of generals. Just because of his background, he was better than Yuan Shizhong.If he can be knighted, he must be able to, too!
While he was thinking about it, it was Bai Tengjiao's turn to be the Chief Soldier of Jizhou.

To Wu Sangui's surprise, Bai Tengjiao was not knighted, but only the governor of the Chinese Army. Wu Xun was the first rank of Youzhu Kingdom, but he was also the commander of Malanyuguan.

Originally, Bai Tengjiao was the chief soldier of Jizhou. He was the second rank at the end of Ming Dynasty. Now he is the first rank. He has been promoted to two ranks, and his real power has also been expanded. He has commanded two troops in Jizhou and Malanyuguan.

In this regard, it is not as dazzling as the previous titles, but the promotion of both false titles and real power is actually not bad.

As far as Bai Tengjiao himself was concerned, he was a little bit disappointed, but if he wanted to say how disappointed he was, he was not.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that if the emperor hadn't arranged in advance and sent Yan Yingyuan over for the battle of Jizhou, it would be certain that Jizhou would fall.If that's the case, don't say anything about rewards, you may die in battle.

Based on this idea, Bai Tengjiao Xie En withdrew.

Then there is Bai Guangen, the former commander-in-chief of Malanyuguan.

After seeing Bai Tengjiao's award, he stopped thinking that he could also be a knight.

I feel a little regretful in my heart, who knew that Jianlu was defeated so quickly, as soon as the imperial army arrived, they were killed to the point of throwing away their helmets and armor.If he couldn't react, Jianlu was defeated.That is to say, when chasing and killing Jianlu later, he made a little military merit.

After the imperial decree was read, Bai Guangen was granted the title of Chief Soldier to Suppress the Bandits, from Yipin's Zuojun Governor's Mansion to Dudu Tongzhi, and Wu Xun from Yipin Zhuguo.

Originally, to be precise, Bai Guangen's escape because of the Battle of Songjin was a crime and a meritorious service, and he was the deputy commander in chief. Now he is the real power to suppress the bandit commander, and he is a second rank, and his false title is a first rank military officer.

All in all, the imperial court no longer cared about his crime of running away, and he had done meritorious service, and he was promoted to a higher level.

The crime of fleeing before the battle has always been Bai Guangen's heart disease, and he is afraid that the court will settle new and old scores together.Now, he can be considered relieved.

This reward is not as good as the previous ones, but to be honest, he is actually satisfied.

It was also mentioned in the imperial decree that the men and horses under his command to suppress the bandits are going to expand the army and make it stronger, so they can make military achievements later.

At this time, Wu Sangui's expression became very ugly.

From the rewards of the previous people, it can be seen that the level of heavy rewards is lower than the other. He is at the bottom, and it can be predicted that his reward should be the worst.

After trying to understand this, his mood became very bad.If I knew this earlier, I should have pretended to be sick and not to fight. Let's see if the result of this battle will be so good!
With complaints in his heart, he changed his mind, or he could take this opportunity to move down and be transferred to Shanhaiguan Commander-in-Chief, leaving Ningyuan Commander-in-Chief who was already on the front line, that would be good.

While thinking this way, he heard his name being called to come forward to receive the order, so he gathered his mind and hurried out to listen to the order.

As a result, what he didn't expect was that his wish was only half achieved.

That's right, Emperor Chongzhen dismissed his post as General Soldier of Ningyuan, and like Bai Guangen, he was also promoted to a military officer of the first rank, but the key problem is that the emperor also appointed him as Chief Soldier of Bandit Suppression.Obviously, instead of keeping him at Shanhaiguan, he was going to fight the thieves.

This time, he was a little anxious and didn't accept the order, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the last general has always been favored by the emperor, and he is willing to lead his troops to guard the front line of the border to resist the murderous Jian captives."

The implication is that I am willing to ask for the most difficult job and face the most vicious enemy.

His words, on the surface, seemed to be an expression of loyalty.

However, when Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but feel a flash of disgust in his heart. How could he not know what he was really planning in his heart.So, he said in a cold voice: "I have appointed Marquis Zhongzhen as the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan to lead the front-line military affairs in Shanhaiguan. Your cavalry is the most suitable for chasing and suppressing thieves. I have decided on this matter!"

When Wu Sangui heard this, he couldn't help being dumbfounded.

He is not stupid, and when he heard Emperor Chongzhen's words, he immediately understood that Emperor Chongzhen had already made arrangements. Taking advantage of the opportunity of this expedition, taking advantage of the prestige of this great victory, he was transferred out and would not be sent back. up.

How to do?
Wu Sangui didn't want to fight the thief, but at this moment, he found that he couldn't think about it!

In a hurry, he looked up at Emperor Chongzhen, and suddenly felt the cold eyes of Emperor Chongzhen staring at him, and his heart felt cold again. He immediately came back to his senses. Unpredictable.

Under the power of the great victory, Wu Sangui couldn't bear the power of Emperor Chongzhen a little bit, and finally had to accept the decree to thank him!

In the final analysis, it is because the current Emperor Chongzhen no longer has to rely solely on the Guanning Army.The Baigan Army, the Yongwei Battalion, and the Jingying Battalion are all strong troops, as the battle of Jizhou has proved.

Indistinctly, Wu Sangui felt that an era, his favorite era, was about to pass.

The reward did not go as expected, and the future will not be easy, which made Wu Sangui a little confused, and he didn't know when the reward would end.

The rewards on the Golden Temple are over, but the rewards for the triumphant master are not.

If it was in the past, the rewards for ordinary soldiers would be procrastinated, halved and then halved, because the imperial court had no money.

But this time, Sun Chuanting, the minister of the Ministry of War, and Wang Chengen, the eunuch in charge of the chief inspector of rites, represented the inner and outer courts respectively, and went to the army camp to reward them.

At this time, it was already afternoon.The soldiers who participated in the military parade and the prisoner offering ceremony have also returned to the camp.

They are sharing their feelings when entering the city this time with the soldiers around them.It was foaming at the mouth, spraying so that the sky was dark and the sky was dark, making all the soldiers who heard it enviously regret why they didn't make more military achievements and missed the opportunity.

They all knew that their commander-in-chief and others were conferring awards in the Forbidden City, and they all guessed what rewards would be given.

While discussing it, Sun Chuanting and Wang Chengen came.

Many people were surprised when they heard the order to gather. They didn't expect such a fast speed, so they gathered happily one by one.

If there are too many people, rewards will be awarded in the order of Yongweiying, Jingying, Jizhou, Malanyuguan, and Guanning Army.

Before conferring the rewards, it was natural to announce the rewards of the Forbidden City. Many soldiers of the Ming army clicked their tongues one by one. There are two more earls!

Then, under the expectation of everyone, the rewards began according to the roster of military exploits.

There is a rule in the Ming army that military merit can be rewarded with silver or promoted.Back then, Man Gui was promoted from a small soldier to the chief soldier. During this process, when there was reward silver to be distributed, there were often reward silver.

Many people, including Huang Degong, did this.

Now, in accordance with the requirements of the soldiers of the Ming army, they are all rewarded according to their military merits.

To the surprise of the soldiers of the Ming army, the silver rewards directly given on the spot were not the previous silver ingots, but new coins.

Originally, military salaries and silver rewards had to be distributed through the bank, but today's banks and yamen haven't been built yet, so they can't perform this function, so they can only be issued in advance.

Before the new coins are issued, there are naturally instructions.The soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion, who were the first to receive the reward, hesitated, but none of them raised their opinions. In front of Military Discipline, in front of Sun Chuanting, and the head general watched, they all quietly entered the ranks after receiving the reward.

After the start of the Yongwei Battalion, when it was the turn of the Jingying Battalion, there were role models from before, so naturally it was the same.

I have been busy until the evening, and the reward is considered to be over.When the army is disbanded, there will be more voices of discussion.

Most of the voices are concentrated on the new currency.

"This new money doesn't feel heavy enough!"

"What do you know, this is fire consumption, understand?"

"That's right, look at it, it's so exquisite, and I'll give you full silver, it's a beautiful idea!"

"This time the military merit of the reward is increased by one level, and the fire consumption is reduced, isn't it almost the same?"

"Think about it, before, it was not bad to get half of the silver. Now that you have this new coin, no matter how much it is, you have already earned it!"

"I don't care about anything else, as long as the money can be spent, there's nothing wrong with it!"

"..."

Most of the soldiers still have a strong ability to accept this new currency.After all, it is made of silver.If it was a Daming treasure, it is estimated that with such a great victory, no matter how good the military discipline is, it will explode.Because that Daming treasure note is just a piece of paper, so it can be said to be worthless.

However, there are still troublemakers and people with big opinions.

For example, Guan Ningjun, they have big opinions on their side, clamoring for silver ingots, not the new coins that are short of catty and tael.But Wu Sangui didn't seem to care, and the chaos in the army became even more violent.

When the soldiers of the Jingying and Yongwei battalions heard the commotion, they immediately surrounded them.At the beginning, they were persuaded to come, but for some reason, these soldiers of the Guanning Army even encouraged the soldiers of the Jingying and Yongwei battalion.

The Jinyiwei captains in the Yongwei Camp and the Beijing Camp are not vegetarians, if they dare to make trouble, they will be arrested immediately.

When the soldiers of the Guanning Army who made trouble saw it, they would naturally not be arrested without a fight, and they even encouraged the soldiers of the Jingying and Yongwei battalion to resist together.

As a result, no one listened to them at all.It's time to grab them, and catch them all.

At this moment, Wu Sangui finally appeared, as if he didn't know what was going on, he hurriedly stopped Captain Jin Yiwei to find out.

After quarreling for a while, Wu Sangui said to the leader of Jinyiwei General Banner: "Look, the soldiers fought life and death on the battlefield, but the rewards they got are this kind of rewards. They have ideas, and they seem to have certain ideas. Makes sense, or..."

He was talking, but suddenly, he couldn't continue.
