Beiyang new warlord

However, Emperor Chongzhen kept his head down and remained silent.

Whether to punish Mao Jue, Yu Dacheng, whether to withdraw Dongjiang, some shouted to withdraw, some shouted not to withdraw, the whole court began to lose control, the quarrel was like a vegetable market, watching his master bowed his head and pondered, and the eunuch Cao Huachun next to him In a hurry, he raised his whisk, and outside the door, the gourd warriors who maintained the order of the officials rushed in. The gourd hammer hit the ground, and finally, the chaotic court situation became dead silent.

He didn't care about this scene at all, and after a few seconds of silence, Chongzhen finally raised his head, but looked at Wen Tiren, a scholar of Shoufu University.

"Wen Gong, what do you think?"

Only recently has Zhou Yanru been defeated, and Wen Tiren has become a tyrant in the court. When he speaks, no matter which party or faction, he has all eyes on him. He has the ability to make a final decision.

However, this Wen Tiren is not stupid, and even if he is stupid, he will not be able to hold the position of the Shoufu University. He has always been familiar with his affairs. In this short period of time, this old guy has been observing the expression of Emperor Chongzhen, trying to figure out his heart , was asked that the head was on the head, and he was not in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Yu Dacheng married his daughter to Dongjiang Mao Jue as a concubine because he couldn't raise the military salary!"

Some people were still puzzled, but Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly.

Smart people, the final word! Wen Tiren's understanding of Chongzhen is really thorough.

Originally, several eunuchs reported that Emperor Chongzhen was furious, but after hearing what Bi Ziyan and Zhang Fengyi said, he was already reluctant to part with it. While spending money, he might provoke a new rebellion. Chongzhen had three battlefields in five years. , Shandong, Shanxi, and Nanzhili also caused Japanese riots. The emperor couldn't afford it anymore, but he was indeed a little unwilling.

Wen Tiren offered a compromise solution.

Yu Dacheng has influence on Mao Jue, and Mao Jue can also control the Dongjiang army! Otherwise, after something happened, why didn't they die in the rebellion army, and they could still write a letter?That being the case, it would be best to keep Yu Dacheng and continue to control Dongjiang Town as it is, and save money.

As for Mao Jue's 32 taels of silver as a military reward, since you, Yu Dacheng, have influence on Mao Jue, then you can continue to influence. I wish you more daughters and give one to each of the Dongjiang Army. The imperial court will definitely not take out the money!This is also a manifestation of punishment.

This was actually what Chongzhen thought in his heart, but it was brought up by Wen Tiren, and on the surface, Wen Tiren didn't say anything, he just said that he heard that Yu Dacheng married his daughter to Mao Jue as a concubine, What's wrong?With the step down, Chongzhen opened his mouth and changed the topic.

"What happened to Sun Yuanhua, the former Governor of Denglai, by the Inspector's Office of the Ministry of Punishment?"

Yu Dacheng was able to escape, but Sun Yuanhua could not. After all, the rebellion was caused by the Liao people, and the Liao army under his command rebelled one after another. Even if he died, he must be held accountable! I knew that Yu Dacheng could not be defeated There is Dongjiang, Yushi Lu Zhenfei jumped out again, playing viciously.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Procuratorate has brought out the charges against Sun Yuanhua, and he should be the chief culprit."

There were no telephones in this era, and it was almost the end of August when the news reached Dengzhou.

However, the rebellion on the northern and southern battlefields that plagued the Ming Empire for nearly a year finally came to an end. In the south, Saito Kojiro and other Japanese pirate leaders were surrounded by Ning Jin soldiers during the attack on Yingtian. Yes, fighting day and night, beheading more than a thousand, Saito and others were all dead, this group of Ning Jinbing's mother-in-law suddenly became prosperous, and several people were promoted, Zuo Liangyu, Liu Liangzuo, and Huang Degong had great influence The big ones came out, and the reward was more than 20 taels of silver.

In contrast, Dongjiang became the stepmother's son again. Except for a few words of condolence from the imperial decree, the official Mao Jue was still stuck on the deputy general, and just said that the reward was still thundering and not raining, so he sent a few words. A piece of golden flowers and silver decorated in the palace as a souvenir for Mao Jue.

The only good thing is that Yu Dacheng was saved as an official. He was transferred from governor of Shandong to governor of Denglai, taking over Sun Yuanhua's position.

As for Sun Yuanhua, this enlightened minister who was dedicated to serving the country was completely unlucky. He was held accountable, designated as the chief culprit, deprived of his fame, demoted to a commoner, and sent to Liaodong by his family.

In early September, Dengzhou.

Although the official was saved, Yu Dacheng was not happy, and was transferred to the governor of Denglai Road. The whole Denglai was the main battlefield. Not to mention the ten rooms and nine empty rooms in the two mansions, the treasury was also clean, these are not counted. What, the problem is that the imperial court put all the rewarded silver on the place.

Where does he have money to reward?

Because the eunuch came to announce the decree, Mao Jue assembled the whole army on the outer port, listening to the eunuch's ups and downs in classical Chinese, the fat on the old guy's face twitched uncontrollably, and looked at the arrogant soldiers below in horror.

"You are very brave in killing the enemy, I am very happy"

Mao Jue expanded his army very quickly. Many newly formed regiments, newcomers who had not participated in the last battle of Daling River, were awarded by the imperial decree, and their chests were still tall. They didn't notice it. , He knelt down and yawned when he heard the imperial decree. After finally waiting for the eunuch to finish his babbling, when it was time to pay the money, the veterans looked exactly like this, while the recruits' eyes were straightened.

It is true that the artillery fleet fought the main battles for more than a month. They did not have the credit for their heads. However, in the Weihai trench warfare and the first battle of Dengzhou, many people actually cut off their heads. These are only transferred to fight outside, and each person is paid double. Up to now, one person should have six taels of silver, but the silver lump in Fadao's hand is less than half a tael. This is simply fooling people!

A buzzing discussion suddenly became noisy.

Yu Dacheng's old face also immediately turned pale. This month, he completely lost his official authority. Although the mutiny that night was fake, it still scared him enough, for fear that these arrogant soldiers would make a fake show Really do it, tear him down as silver.

However, a scene that surprised him happened again. After receiving the order while kneeling, Mao Jue only glanced at it, and the whole army became solemn again, and there was no sound. Even if some soldiers were still muttering, some officers would leave Going to his side, he yelled.

"Don't forget whose food you are eating every day? Who spends money like flowing water to make you all full and eat well? What's the rush?"

In the loud and clear order, several regiments of the Dongjiang Army and more than 5000 auxiliary soldiers knelt down neatly, shouting long live, but there was still a lot of perfunctory taste mixed in the thanks to the Lord for his kindness.

Dongjiang's hearts are getting more and more dissipated, and it is becoming more and more just a cold sword in Mao Jue's hand.

Rewarding the three armies this time finally brought an end to the chaos in Shandong. This month, those refugees were also wiped out by Mao Jue and transported clean. On the first day of September, the Dongjiang army finally set foot on the road to return.

"I heard that throwing money into the water before going out to sea can pray for safety!"

"Really? Then I'll try too!"

To be honest, these two or three renminbi of silver can’t even pay for food for a few days, which makes the Dongjiang Tieyi Army, who are used to Fu, look down on them. Besides, they all say that the Central Plains is good. Some counties in the next few counties are much poorer than Tieyi, and they can't even buy a pack of cigarettes. The poor court reward money in their pockets has not been spent for several days. I don't know which officer threw it into the sea in disdain. A fashion was set off in the midst of it. The Emperor Chongzhen's solemn reward was thrown into the sea without dignity while talking and joking, stirring up small water jets.

On the shore, there was no special product to bring back this time. A large group of soldiers rushed to board the ship with their luggage on their backs, while Mao Jue waited impatiently on the shore.

Not long after, a sedan chair finally arrived late.

This is a political marriage between him and Yu Dacheng. Anyway, there is an extra Chen Jiaoer. He is bound to get this concubine, otherwise there is no way to restrain Yu Dacheng. To one of the sequences of Zhu Jiu Clan, this guy can work for him with peace of mind.

What's more, a concubine, he can clean up as he wants, and it's not as troublesome as Chen Jiaoer's. Especially for Yu Le, who has a personality, Mao Jue has a little more perverted expectation.

"Meet my uncle! Master also wants to see him off, but he is busy with business, so he won't come."

That sissy housekeeper like a playboy is really like a dog, and he is honest with two sticks. Now he can't wait to kneel and lick Mao Jue, nodding and bowing there, with an anxious face. As for Yu Dacheng, his daughter has become a concubine, so he hates it It's too embarrassing to come at all.

Without bothering with such a small person like him, Mao Jue opened the car door casually, and he inspected the goods, who knew that Mao Jue was almost not happy when he saw the inside.

Said it was a perverted expectation, but he really became a perverted kidnapper.

For the sake of the big family, Yu Dacheng didn't care whether his darling daughter was happy or not, and he was afraid that there would be some trouble when sending off his relatives. Yu Le'er was tied up directly. Tied behind her back and hung high, her slender legs are almost tied into a cocoon, especially the small mouth is stuffed full by the red hijab that should have been worn.Seeing Mao Jue looking around, the new concubine's face flushed red with anger, and she pursed her mouth and yelled at Mao Jue.

The two women accepted by Mao Jue, Su Yi and Adelaine were normal, but according to the feudal tradition, the two wives and concubines, Chen Jiaoer, was tied to the court, and this Yu Leer was also tied to the door, see Come here to become his bandit Mao's family has always been a tradition, not Hu Yule's protest, Mao Jue closed the curtain with a smile, and gestured backwards with a very gangster laugh.

"Take it away!"

2 Chapter Twenty

Even though it was August, the wind on the sea was still bitter, and it brought a slight chill to people's faces, but standing on the deck, no one wanted to go down.

The other regiments are alright, but they left for two or three months, but the third regiment of Pang Da Hai, who followed Mao Jue, had more than 100 sailors and miscellaneous soldiers, but they walked for more than half a year, and the well water was still the sweetness of their hometown. , I have seen the warmth of spring in the south of the Yangtze River and the darkness in the prosperity. Now these people miss the military camp covered with vines, and the small yard of their own home with a big corn hanging.

Even Mao Jue was no exception. After being separated for more than half a year, it was strange to think of Adelena, a foreign girl. They were both handsome and beautiful in plain clothes. They leaned gracefully on the ship tower, facing the warm The sun, constantly looking north.

It's just that not everyone is full of joy. On the second floor of the cabin, Shen Guangzuo, who is giving lectures to the younger generation, will occasionally be distracted, looking out of the window made of mosaic pieces from time to time, while the two women, Yu Le and Chen Jiaoer The two were also lying on the side of the boat. The two women were married to this remote frontier for political reasons. They were both worried about the future.

Finally, I don't know who shouted excitedly.

"Coming soon! Coming soon!"

Seeing the dark island gradually come into view, the two women couldn't help but stare curiously, but immediately, a wave of disappointment spread in their eyes.

Everything you see is a dilapidated look. The fishing village has not been used for a long time, the roofs have collapsed, and there are rotten fishing boats on the beach. The decay is obvious, let alone compared with the prosperous Jiangnan , even Jinan can't compare.
