Chapter 131. Beggars' money, beggars' lives

The crowd was excited, and the two imperial envoys almost came up to fight. They really didn't expect that they could incite a mutiny. Lord Zhang from the Ministry of War was almost as scared as Eunuch Jiao.

However, listening to his begging, Mao Jue pulled him helplessly by the arm and pulled him up. He then raised his pistol and fired three shots at the sky.

"Shut up to me! Listen to me!"

"Shut up! Listen to Mr. Jiang!"

"You fucking shouted, "Your Majesty wants to speak!"

It was so applauding. In the crowd, they slapped one by one. In less than a minute, the boiling mutiny army calmed down again, and a group of soldiers looked at Mao Jue with eager eyes.

Mao Jue was helpless and reached out to drag Zhang Yuanwailang, the Ministry of War who had kneeled down again.

"Mr. Zhang! The problem needs to be solved! Our troops have been killed 1,100 people. According to the rules of the court, one person will be given 50 taels of pension to burn silver. There are also the heads below, military flags, and the court rewards 60 taels of heads and one flags. Why are there 30,000 taels of these? It does not include military rewards. Lord. Zhang, 91,000 taels are the lowest. You don't look like a corrupt official. Can you tell me why it is only 14,000 taels?"

"Xiao, General Mao, you, don't you know?"

Listening to Mao Jue's serious look, Zhang Yuanwailang couldn't help but look shocked, and Kong Youde next to him hummed impatiently.

"What are you trying to keep in mind? Tell me quickly! You literati are just talking nonsense!"

He was so scared that he shivered. Zhang Yuanwailang quickly poured out everything in his stomach like a gourd with his mouth sawed.

"Good men! During the Jiajing period, the Ministry of Revenue will not send the rewarded silver in full. The 90,000 taels were reported, and 60,000 taels were issued. The adults from the Governor's Office of the Five Army of the Ministry of War took part of the case, and only 45,000 taels were left. The heroes' money left was Shandong. Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, deducted another 30,000 taels. There was also the God of Wealth on the way, and the remaining 14,000 taels were good!"

With a sad face, Zhang Yuanwailang hugged Luo Quanyi and almost cried.

"According to the previous example, 4,000 taels should have been detained by me and Eunuch Jiao, and I rewarded the army with 10,000 taels. But seeing the army's bravery and rushing thieves, I and Lord Jiao didn't knock on a single tael of silver. We really didn't get a penny from the army. If you don't believe it, you can search it!"

After all these explanations, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were stunned. After slashing the knife, the money he had worked hard to survive was gone! Not only did the generals on the stage, but even the soldiers below were stunned.

At this kung fu, Mao Jue's scolding suddenly came out.

"Get out of here! Get back and take the team. Who would let you come to the front of you? Don't you want money? Get out!"

Mao Jue was furious. The crowd that was still aggressive just now dissolved completely like the scattered snow encountered the scorching sun. Under the shouts of their respective officers, the army retreated back to their respective positions, but they obviously became listless one by one.

While the two imperial envoys were stunned, Mao Jue clasped his fists and bowed with a smile on his face.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, both sirs! These bad guys and barbarians have lived in a place without a king's law for a long time, and they are the last generals who have just entered the officialdom and do not understand all kinds of rules. They originally wanted the two imperial envoys to personally send the labor bank to the army, and let these crude guys feel the great grace of the emperor. Who knows... who knows..."

"Why are you still standing there? I'll send the money! Don't forget to take down the 4,000 taels of silver from the two imperial envoys, why are you staring at me? Why don't you go there? Want to get beaten?"

All his reluctance was that Pang Dahai, Liu Chong, Kong Youde and others got off the stage, and a few small money boxes were opened in front of the army.

I took care of the dead family members. One person paid five taels of silver and occupied five thousand taels at once. Some disabled soldiers were also five taels, and the rest was distributed to the army. One person had only a few hundred cents.

"Haha, I've tried my best, this little money!"

In the crowd, weighing the 500-word string that had just arrived at hand, Mao Jue's confidant, Chen Rong, a thousand-husband, sneered a few times, threw it to the ground, hugged his arm and turned his head disdainfully.

Looking at his scene, other soldiers shook their heads with the rusty copper coins on their hands. They pointed the table and made people hold two boxes. Mao Jue smiled and sent the two imperial envoys to the carriage.

"I'm so offensive about this matter. Mao Jue is here to be guilty! Yizhou City has already set up a banquet. We won't waste time with these soldiers and gangsters. Let's talk about Tieshan City?"

It was really a paradise in hell. In the moment, Zhang Yuanwailang and both were almost abused from Stockholm syndrome. I don’t know whether to cry or laugh, but they got on the carriage tremblingly, but the two silver boxes were hugged tightly.

Mao Jue left, and everything seemed to be cold. He carried the copper coins, and a large group of soldiers were cursing and about to go out. The families of the dead soldiers and families of the families of the families were also depressed when they held the five taels of silver.

There was also a young woman who held three children and walked out in a daze with the five taels of silver. Then she walked to the camp gate and suddenly her legs became weak and she sat on the ground with her butt, and then she burst into tears.

"God! How can I live here? The four children in the family are hungry and their parents are there. The husband doesn't even have a brother. Just this little money, how can I live here!"

"The sky has no eyes, the government is mean!"

It was a typical lonely person. The strong men in the family were dead, and they had to help their children raise their parents. Listening to the young woman sitting on the ground and crying loudly, the other soldiers and family members were also sour. However, there were many people watching, but no one stretched out their hands to her. I don’t know how many people who died as a man like her were. Everyone was tense, the court became mean, and people’s hearts became cold.

But at this moment, a carriage stopped, and then, a heavy silver was stuffed into the young woman's arms.

"Sister-in-law, take it!"

"this……"

Seeing a ingot of shiny ingot, heavy heavy silver stuffed into his hands, the young woman couldn't help but be shocked. She quickly raised her head, but quickly lowered her head and saluted in panic.

"Young lady!"

There were soldiers next to him looking at him lustfully. This sound almost scared them. Yang Wei and then hurriedly bowed with his fists.

"Young man, please pay homage to the young lady!"

"Mrs. Young lady, this!"

The silver was heavy, probably fifty taels. In his hand, the young woman looked confused. Who knew that when she turned around, Suyi stuffed her another inlay of silver.

"Oh, that's enough! Young lady, thank you, I'm grateful for it. It's enough, I can't ask for it anymore!"

"Sister-in-law, just take it! This is not what I gave to you, but my general. He ordered that if a man's family was killed in everything, a household would burn 100 taels of silver! If you don't accept it, you should punish the master for the simple clothes when he goes back!"

"this……"

"Just accept it!"

The gentle smile was like an angel, stuffing silver into the young woman's arms. The sound of a silver bell sounded in the crowd again.

"Everyone is back! Where is Mr. Pang? Brother Mao Youde? Come and bring money to the emperor's life, come and help and give money to the soldiers!"

Without the mighty and solemnity just now, there was no order. The personal soldiers who participated in the war lined up with the family members who had died. On this side, with Su Yi's gentle smile, she put a name on her roster and gave two heavy ingots of silver with her own hands. On the other side, Adrena obviously seemed very cold and copied it quickly in business. However, in her hands, the personal soldiers who participated in the war could also receive fifty taels of silver. Moreover, she fought side by side with Mao Jue for so many days. For the personal soldiers, she was closer than Su Yi, and she felt a bit like a buddy.

"Sister, didn't the court only hand over 10,000 taels of silver? Is this?"

Holding a silver ingot, a personal soldier asked stupidly. Before he could finish his questions, he was slapped there directly on the back of his head. Pang Dahai, who was standing next to him, looked full of regret and grinning.

"You guy is stupid! You are so mean in the court. Do you still want to get the money? We will pay for it from our own pocket and squeeze it out of our teeth to reward our army. Didn't you see that it was sent by the two ladies?"

"Ah? Then, that little one is not the case! As long as you can burn the silver for me, I have several brothers who died in the city of Dalinghe!"

It was really simple. The personal soldier actually stuffed the silver back on the table and turned around and wanted to leave. Pang Dahai made him smile and pulled the boy back with a wry smile. He stretched out his hand and stuffed the silver into his arms.

"Jiang Ye rewards me, let me take you with you! There is so much nonsense there, and Jiang Ye said that even if you eat braised vegetables, it is impossible to let my brother bleed in vain. You want Mr. Jiang Ye to break his promise!"

"Just remember! Who are you trying hard for? You are so anxious that you will be kind to you! I remember you, the ninth whistle, the second platoon of the 9th whistle, when you were rushing to the pass, you didn't have to kill three Tartars with a bayonet, opening up a way for us. You have seen what happened to the court this time, and you can't reward you more, but I will remember you again!"

He was stunned again and bowed to Pang Dahai, and the personal soldier immediately bowed to Adrena again.

"I thank you little!"

"Next!"

Adrena was still as frosty as ice, but her blue eyes still had a slight sensation in the voice of thanking Jiang.

This conversation seemed to spread among the crowd. The next personal soldier who came up to receive the money and his martyrs also bowed to Adrena and Suyi after registering.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang!"

With the thanks, the army's morale that had been cooled up once again became warm, but many people had given up on the illusion of the court. Now the Tieyi Army has transformed into a real Mao family army.

As the sunset sets, everyone disbanded with the silver with satisfaction. Although Jiannu won, he was still severely injured. It is impossible to come to Yizhou to retaliate in a short period of time. Mao Jue generously gave ten taels of silver to the auxiliary troops involved in the war, and gave the remaining more than 4,000 soldiers a fifteen-day holiday, so that everyone can relax happily. Is it just for money to spend it?

However, it is estimated that the personal army will not be able to rest, and Mao Jue's personal army has become a hot commodity, and the older girl and his wife are struggling to marry into their house.

Suyi's headache was not over. At the barracks, the young woman with three children knelt there and refused to get up. She was grateful and called for her two children to grow up in the future and sent them to the personal army regiment, and to fight for Mao Jue's death.

On the other side, the two brothers Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming went to the restaurant with money in a swagger. Following them, the personal soldiers of Xidaying came with more than 200 numbers.

Although Tieyi under Mao Jue's command was still stable, it still couldn't guarantee that there would be no beggars. However, the beggars here would have to be at least in their fifties, because all the younger ones were stuffed into various places to make use of their remaining energy. In Tieyi, some work was given to them.

There was an old man begging for food next to the restaurant. He probably was an old soldier before and had a lame leg.

The wine was fragrant in front of me, but Kong Youde suddenly stopped and took down the five hundred-dollar string hanging around his neck.

"Hehe, I killed more than twenty Tartar soldiers and the court rewarded 500 ci. My life is really worth his mother."

Before he finished speaking, Kong Youde threw the money in front of the beggar, then he arrogantly walked into the restaurant, slapped the fifty taels of silver on the counter and shouted in a thick voice.

"I'll book this building tonight! Those who know each other are gone! The shopkeeper, just serve good wine and good food!"

Kong Youde threw away the money rewarded by the court. Later, Geng Zhongming threw it on the ground without looking at it. Following behind, the personal soldiers threw the money skewers there with disdain. At the corner of the wall, the old man who was begging for food was still dozing off and suddenly shuddered. In front of him, the copper coins skewers were piled into a hill.
