Subverted This is the Emperor Chat Group

And Yuan Chonghuan was even more ruthless. Guan Ning's cavalry required 9000 men, that is to say, he alone almost borne the expenses of [-] troops.

Let me ask you, who has the money?

It is impossible for the emperor Chongzhen to have economic strength.

Based on Lu Xiangsheng's salary, let alone 1000 years, even 1 years' salary is not enough.

So tell me now, how do these people make money?

If they hadn't relied on raising bandits for self-respect,

If they didn't rely on raising bandits to raise money, eating empty wages, smuggling, corrupting the law.

Where did they get so much money? "

996. A military general of the Ming Dynasty took the lead in robbery and was charged to the bandits’ account (4500 subscriptions required)

There was a deathly silence in the chat group.

All the emperors stared wide-eyed, unable to believe the information they saw.

Most of them are Emperor Wu. Even if they are not Emperor Wu, they know how to lead troops to fight and know how to fight.

Everyone knows how much it costs to raise an army.

Zhu Di swallowed his saliva, feeling that his world view had been refreshed.

Execute Your Ten Clans (Hero Lord of the Prosperous Age):

"My God, one person can be responsible for the expenses of an army?"

"This is simply slapping the court budget in the face!"

"When Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, there were only 100 million troops raised."

"Yuan Chonghuan can support 10 troops by himself."

"Oh my god! Are these people a mobile treasury?"

"Is this the great hero who saved the country and the people?"

"Stop insulting the word hero."

………………

Li Shimin felt that he had gained knowledge, how could a person be so rich?

Is this the most powerful corrupt official?

Qiangu Li Er (the ruler of the Ming Dynasty and the sinner):

"This Yuan Chonghuan, Lu Xiangsheng and others are just like the powerful people in the Sui and Tang Dynasties!"

"Only a super family has the strength to support 10% of the country's army."

"But what about the facts?"

"There were more than dozens of families in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In fact, there was no family with a single surname that could have so many troops."

"I am really amazed by the wealth of these people at the end of the Ming Dynasty!"

"How much money was stolen?"

"It really blinded my eyes."

………………

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up to the sky and laughed, the murderous intent in his eyes seemed to be real.

This is the good general of the Ming Dynasty?

You guys are really good!

Starting from herding cattle (one emperor through the ages, the father of the modern system):

"Good good!"

"What a good Lu Xiangsheng for the country and the people!"

"What a clean and honest Yuan Chonghuan!"

"Does the Ming Dynasty have to set up a memorial tablet for them?"

"These people have reached the point where they are as rich as an enemy."

"It's ridiculous that no one ever thinks about where their money comes from?"

"But keep saying that they died for the country!"

"Then how did this country collapse?"

"Isn't that they are poaching?"

"Even the army can be subordinated to private individuals. The country will not perish. Wouldn't it be a pity for them to serve the country and the people so well?"

………………

Chongzhen is also extremely confused at the moment, is Yuan Chonghuan so rich?

What is the concept of raising nine thousand cavalry?

No wonder Yuan Chonghuan fought so hard. His private army was equipped with the best equipment, gave them the best food, and paid them enough food.

Can this combat power not be strong?

It is said how powerful Yuan Chonghuan was in the war, isn't this all made of money?

This is fucking kryptonite.

Chongzhen felt that if he had money, he would not be much worse than Yuan Chonghuan.

Self-hanging southeast branch (the purest faint king):

"I feel really sad for Chongzhen now."

"He didn't even find out that there was something wrong with these people until his death."

"Simply stupid!"

Only then did Chongzhen know how far the gap between him and Chen Tong was.

He never thinks about problems from another angle. If he could look at problems from another angle like Chen Tong,

Then you will definitely find these tricks in the court.

Unfortunately, his strength does not allow it.

………………

Empress Lu couldn't stand it anymore, even a woman knew how important military power was.

And how outrageous it is for one person to raise an army.

First Empress Dowager (Yanhuang First Empress):

"Are you still going to brag about people like Lu Xiangsheng?"

"These people are obviously the same as civil servants, they are the moths of the country!"

"Lu Xiangsheng definitely earned so much money by raising bandits."

"Li Grassland, didn't you say that they are loyal?"

"Didn't you say they were the great heroes of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Then explain to us, why do they have money to support private soldiers?"

"Where did the money come from?"

"Is it corruption? Is it taking bribes? Is it exploiting the people? Is it smuggling with the enemy? Or is it raising bandits?"

"There must be a source!"

"Don't tell me that their wages are so high. The wages of officials in the Ming Dynasty are the lowest in history, none of them!"

…………

Li Zicheng was also stupid now, he had never considered these issues before, he always thought that Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting were not bad.

But after hearing Chen Tong's analysis angle, he is not calm at all now.

Only then did he realize that these people really had a big problem.

With their meager wages, as Chen Tong said, even if Lu Xiangsheng earns 1000 years of money, 1 years of money,

It is also impossible for Lu Xiangsheng to support his Tianxiong army.

Then Yuan Chonghuan was even more outrageous. The scale of his private army support was almost five times that of Lu Xiangsheng.

That's not because Yuan Chonghuan made a lot of money in Liaodong.

I used to think how great it was for Lu Xiangsheng, Yuan Chonghuan and others to pay for these soldiers by themselves.

But now I know that this is not called greatness at all, it is called a thief of the country!

The Ming Dynasty couldn't even pay the food and wages, so how could they afford it?

He was stunned.

How much money is there in it, originally Zhaoan's money?

The people do not pay:

"This is too exaggerated!"

"I really don't know how to defend Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and others now."

"Maybe someone has dug a gold mine?"

………………

I'll go to your uncle!

Cao Cao, Liu Bang and others really want to spray Li Grassland to death with a sip of salt soda, and dig a gold mine by himself, and all these generals have dug a gold mine?
