Beiyang new warlord

"Elder-in-law, there is a lack of pay! This year, the Dongjiang military pay has not arrived in January and July. This Lord Yu led an army to fight bloody battles with the white lotus demon, and promised to pay back the salary, and a demon's head is 20 taels of silver. These barbarians are dead. , just chopped off more than 1 heads, waiting to receive the money! You have captured Master Yu again, tell me, can these barbarians not explode?"

With a few bangs, some heavy objects hit the wall again, scaring the Jin Yiwei to shrink their necks again. The eunuch delivering the order was terrified, and Yu Dacheng, whose head was in the shackles, also sadly took up the conversation.

"Deputy General Mao, there's nothing I can do about it! The treasury bank in Shandong Province was either robbed or spent on military expenses. I really can't afford the extra money. The old man and daughter are all paid to you, so you can't go out and talk to the soldiers. Tell me, let the father-in-laws take me away quickly!"

"Master Yu, even if Qianyuan becomes my concubine! But they won't do it!"

"Deputy General Mao, how much is the military salary and reward?"

The two of them sang together, and the eunuch who was listening to the decree was sweating, and couldn't help but stomped his feet and asked again.

"32 million taels!"

Mao Jue waved his hands weakly, and the eunuch who heard it almost jumped up again.

"How many?"

"32 taels!"

Pulling his fingers, Mao Jue calculated: "22 taels were beheaded in the first battle of Weihai, which is 20 taels, 8 were killed, and 32 taels of silver were burned and buried. However, according to the usual discount, there must be [-] taels , and the counterattack against Dengzhou, the Qixia bloody battle, the [-] taels is already the lowest standard, and this is not counted as the military salary owed!"

With a huge amount of 32 taels, it was impossible for him, a young eunuch, to solve it. His face turned green for a long time, and the eunuch simply played tricks, baring his teeth and bossing Mao Jue around.

"The miscellaneous family doesn't care, the miscellaneous family's emperor has his life, this one must suppress Yu Dacheng! You go out immediately and drive the chaotic soldiers away from the miscellaneous family! Otherwise, I will take it with you!!"

After saying this, Mao Jue's face seemed to turn pale with fright, and he shrank back subconsciously, but several Jin Yiwei immediately forced him up, watching Mao Jue swallow heavily, and finally stood up helplessly holding the knife.

"Eunuch, then me, then I will try?"

"Go away, go away!"

Seeming to be courageous, Mao Jue walked out of the room tremblingly, and pushed Mao Li to the front. He was considered to be a bit of an official, but when he reached the door, he seemed to have found his courage suddenly. Jian Mao Jue raised the big hammer and slammed the door down. With a bang, the noise at the door suddenly fell silent.

"Open the door, I will meet these bastards when I go out!"

Swallowing, a few soldiers followed Mao Jue out cautiously, but the door was closed again immediately, while the eunuchs Jin Yiwei watched nervously, Mao Jue swearing, nothing more than the emperor's grace, waiting for Yu Dacheng to subdue the law, Yinzi came to Yunyun, and the chaos outside seemed to be brought under control a little bit.

But just as the eunuch and Jin Yiwei breathed a sigh of relief, screams suddenly sounded. They saw a bloody arm being thrown over the wall, followed by a burst of weapons clashing, and finally, Mao Li, who was sprayed with blood, fled back to the door in a panic, and plunged into the lobby, shouting impatiently.

"Father-in-law, hurry up! The camp is bombed! The general can't stand there for a while, if you don't leave, it will be too late!"

Seeing the door being squeezed open, Dongjiang soldiers forced their way in in a mess like zombies, their guts disappeared in an instant, no matter what the emperor ordered or not, a few Jinyi guards ran away, the eunuch took a look and sat innocently on the ground Yu Dacheng gritted his teeth, turned around and fled, throwing everything in the imperial edict on the ground, and Mao Li almost couldn't catch up behind him.

The feeling of being overwhelmed by the masses is like a big star in the future. The overwhelming chaos is chasing after him, and some stones and bricks are smashing behind him, just like the mobile game Temple Escape, walking along Dengzhou Avenue The Jinyi Tiqi who captured Yu Dacheng fled desperately without daring to stop for a moment. After running for more than ten minutes, the south gate finally opened with a creak. He resolutely stood in the back, and the city gate was closed again with a creak.

Horses were still tied at the gate of the city. Just like in a dream, more than a dozen imperial servants got on their horses, not daring to stay for a moment, turned around and fled towards Dezhou.

However, a few minutes later, the Nanchengmen Tower suddenly lit up again. Mao Jue, who should have been "heroically sacrificed", Yu Dacheng, who was "beaten to death", and Mao Lian, who was "fighting to death", all the actors swaggered like that Appeared on the city wall.

While splashing pig's blood dripping from his body, Mao Li screamed sadly full of resentment.

"Master Kong, you are too ruthless! This body is still a reward from the master, and I can't wash it when I go back!"

"Don't worry, the general will reward you with a new suit, haha, that eggless guy ran away, let us enjoy the general!"

Mao Jue didn't laugh, Kong Youde almost laughed out his molars, and the generals with his ugly laughter didn't want to talk to him anymore.

The only person who is worried here is Yu Dacheng, the shackles have all been split, looking down the female wall, he muttered worriedly.

"General Mao, is this okay?"

"Don't worry, the previous riots in Suzhou drove away Wei Zhongxian's Tiqi, so it's nothing? The Dongjiang Army is the only army in eastern Ludong. The Shandong rebellion has just been put down. The court certainly doesn't want to make another mess. , I can definitely issue a decree for compensation!"

With a confident look on his face, in fact Mao Jue was a little bit drummed in his heart. After all, although the army began to be warlord at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and Xiang Liu Zeqing, Zuo Liangyu, Wu Sangui, Liu Liangzuo and so on, the imperial court could hardly move them. It wasn't Sun Chuanting who killed He Renlong. The Qin army who left the customs might not be able to get together, but that was when the world began to be in chaos in the seventh year of Chongzhen, and it was still a little early.

This is a political gamble.

However, the warlordization of Dongjiang is now very clear. Even if he loses the bet, he runs back to Dongjiang with the army and throws Yu Dacheng here. The price was affordable, so Mao Jue took the gamble.

Moreover, a crying child has milk to eat, so he is still not willing to fight this battle for the court for nothing, and 32 taels of silver is also the extortion price released.

It depends on whether those princes in the imperial court submit or not!

Looking back at the sea, Mao Jue secretly prayed to the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

The retreat of the Dongjiang army has been delayed again!

It’s all about rushing for time. On July 22th, Yu Dacheng arrived in Dengzhou. On July [-], the Tiqi who captured him arrived. He rushed back to the capital, and the morning of the ninth day of August became severe.

"The eyes cannot be controlled, and the eyes have no court!"

A few memorials were slammed to the ground, and the Longyan Cup, the dark circles under the eyes that could not be suppressed even with powder, showed a murderous light of choosing someone to devour.

"Your Majesty! Dongjiang's military discipline is lax and disorderly, even rashly beating the chief general and expelling the emperor's envoys. This is simply a cancer of the country! Your Majesty, I really can't let it go any longer. The town of Dongjiang should be withdrawn, and the soldiers should move in!"

There was another person who came back in embarrassment, who was the governor of Shandong who succeeded Yu Dacheng, and the former governor of water transportation Zhu Dadian.

The old guy's eyes are blurred, 32 taels of silver?He hasn't opened in Shandong yet, so Zhang Luo has to feed Mao Jue first?Yu Dacheng, the leader of his land, can't collect 32 taels of silver. Where will he go?And in case these barbarian soldiers outside the pass can't get the money, it's really the opposite, there will be no peace in Ludi this year, and it may even be uncertain next year.

The civil rebel army broke into Shanxi, Yang He was imprisoned, and the governor of Shanxi changed three times this year. Zhu Dadian didn't want to be the second one in Shandong, so he fled back.But he was finally promoted and fled back in despair. How could the old man hold back his anger?Kowtow and sprinkle it upwards.

But what he said angered a person.

Bi Ziyan, Minister of the Household Department!

Chapter 219. The wind and rain in the court are chaotic, and the army is scattered

"Dare to ask Master Zhu, where will the soldiers be resettled when the Dongjiang River is withdrawn? Where will the people be resettled? Where will the salary come from? Where will the food come from? Where will the land come from? Without the Dongjiang River, you will pay for the slavery and the capital division. Are you responsible for this?"

The most difficult official these days is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Every year when Nanyin arrives at the treasury of the Ministry of Accounts, it rushes out. The Minister of the Ministry of Accounting is also different from other officials. When fighting in Liaodong, Guo Yunhou, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was already holding on to the military expenditure and refused to let go. When it came to Bi Ziyan, it was even more difficult to lose sight of it. He can use this part of the balance to use elsewhere, and Zhu Dadian wants to find him a big spender.

What's more, spending money is not necessarily a good thing. Liao people are not resettled well. This year's Shandong chaos has already entered double-digit prisons. Bi Ziyan doesn't want to be the next one.

Now he can't wait to slap Zhu Dadian twice.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, also stood up. He was not as excited as Bi Ziyan, but he still defended himself a little in his words.

"Your Majesty, calm down. Although the Dongjiang army is domineering, it is indeed a strong army in Liaodong. Lu Luan has more than [-] Bailian thieves. Mao Jue's army is less than [-], so it will be flattened. Moreover, in the battle of Weihai, tens of thousands of people were beheaded. The military newspapers that have arrived are all factual, and it would be a pity if such a unit dispersed!"

"The merits are not worth it! Your Majesty! If the past continues, what is the majesty of the court!"

"Yes! I fear that other generals will follow suit, and they will be punished!"

The most fearful thing in the Ming Dynasty is the group of speech officials. Originally, Ming Chengzu set them up to monitor all officials. The plan was good, but the privilege of innocence of speech officials has been infinitely expanded, and the speech officials have become The sharp weapon of the party struggle is the same as those boring scholars in Jiangnan. There are many officials who are not used to the existence of Dongjiang in the court. As soon as the two ministers finished speaking, the officials jumped out like mad dogs that couldn't wait to bite. Biting in terror.

Anyway, even if Dongjiang is rebellious, it is not their responsibility, and the governor who countered the rebellion will have a headache.
