90 Arrive at Yumajian Barracks
Emperor Chongzhen saw the other side of Jiang Dong through eavesdropping seeds, and he was not dissatisfied. He just sighed that no one in this world is a fool!
Jiang Dong had a conflict with Jiading Bo’s Mansion because of his sister’s affairs, and he was brave enough. You know, that was the queen’s family and the prince’s grandfather’s family.
But very good, I like it!
Although Emperor Chongzhen had a relationship with the queen because he integrated his memory. However, based on his impression of later generations, he was still very dissatisfied with the Jiading Bo, the father of the queen. In the face of the country, he not only did not help, but was extremely stingy. In order to save himself, he even betrayed his nephew. Such a person is as cool as the famous water, and even surpasses it.
Wait, sooner or later, I will deal with this family!
Emperor Chongzhen thought about this and temporarily put this matter behind his mind, because he had already arrived at the military camp at this time.
This time, he did not come first, but someone had already come to inform him in advance, and all the soldiers lined up on the school ground where the cold wind was howling.
Emperor Chongzhen climbed to the general platform and glanced at the four guards and one battalion in front of him, namely the Tengxiang Left, Right Guard, Wuxiang Left, Right Guard, Yongwei Battalion and the Selection Camp. According to the organization, the number of the four guards troops was about 20,000. The Selection Camp was to draw 6,000 officials from the Beijing Guards to form the 6,000 people. However, there was no such number at all, and half of them were probably overestimated.
Even so, the old and weak actually accounted for about half of the strokes in front of you. Some of the old and weak even wore tattered military uniforms like beggars. It was obvious that they were the guards of the emperor and the imperial guards among the imperial guards!
In other words, the Yongwei Camp can have more than 10,000 people, and are now fighting abroad, which is a real elite.
Emperor Chongzhen remembered clearly that he had not reviewed the troops under the Imperial Horse Supervision before. But what he saw at that time was full of people, and there were no old or weak in the strokes, and they were all proud.
Obviously, at that time, when the original Emperor Chongzhen was about to inspect the army, Wang Zhixin found someone else to count and set up a storefront for him to see. If the East Factory had not suddenly investigated and punished the Imperial Horse Prison this time, almost all the officials of the Imperial Horse Prison were responsible for the fact that the Emperor Guard would not have seen the actual situation of the Emperor's Guard.
From this we can see that the original Imperial Horse Prison ate countless empty wages, and also deducted countless military wages. Wang Zhixin and the others are really worthy of death!
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the soldiers below, and he could find that most of the soldiers were frightened and anxious. It was probably because of the actions of the Dongchang men on their days that scared them.
After all, the East Factory will not be gentle. Moreover, the number of people involved this time is almost at the point of being caught by one. In such an atmosphere, it would be strange if the entire Imperial Horse Supervisor would feel at ease.
Of course, some of them are numb, and their dull eyes are like walking corpses. For them, what if the emperor comes? If you change to other officials, they will be the same in the end!
Emperor Chongzhen looked at it for a while before he spoke slowly and said to about 10,000 soldiers on the school ground: "The investigation of the Imperial Horse Supervision in the East Factory has nothing to do with your ordinary military soldiers. And if the East Factory hadn't reported to me, I would have been deceived by Wang Zhixin and others, and I would not know the actual situation in the army!"
Speaking of this, he paused and said loudly: "Since I already know, I will never let my guards receive such unfair treatment. You and others will reissue all the wages you owe. I hope you all can have a good New Year!"
The others were all false, even if the emperor was talking about being deceived by the king's heart, most of them were numb and indifferent. However, when Emperor Chongzhen said he wanted to pay the wages for the owed, they all came alive and were obviously a little excited. However, their expressions were mostly skeptical, as if they were not very convinced.
Emperor Chongzhen didn't say anything nonsense, just waved his hand. Chen Baoting and a few eunuchs behind him commanded several Jinyiwei lieutenants to open the boxes that had been brought to the stage and then poured them on the stage. Suddenly, white silver rolled out, and more than 80,000 taels of silver rolled out, and a huge pile of them were piled up.
At this moment, the soldiers below were immediately excited. Seeing so much money, they immediately believed that they could finally get the money. Many of them had no military pay at all. Not only that, they were also ordered to go out to work, and the money they earned was taken away by those officials. I dare to say no, this is the army, and it is for military law. After years of hard work, it would be strange if it is not numb and despair!
However, no matter how desperate you are, you will come back to your senses by stimulating it with silver.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw that the trick of dumping money was effective, he began to say again: "Don't worry, if I look at you this time, no one will deduct your pay. I will come and ask you in person, but if there is any problem, I can just say it in front of me!"
Speaking of this, he suddenly changed his tone and raised his voice a little more: "However, my guards cannot be composed of old and weak. As today's chaos is in chaos, the people are living in poverty, and the Qing army is still raging in the capital. The army I want is to be able to fight for the country like the brave guard camp. It can follow me to fight south and north like when the founding of the country. If anyone of you think you can fight with the strong Qing enemy, raise your hand!"
After saying that, in order to avoid their worries, he added: "I will not blame anyone who cannot kill the enemy. I will arrange for you properly. As long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to have enough food and clothing. This is my promise to you, and I will never break my promise!"
Under the public, the emperor's words and words are all believed to be true to most people even if he does not add the four words "never break his promise".
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the soldiers on the school ground immediately became sensation. They looked at their familiar comrades, and their eyes were no longer enough to communicate, so they immediately began to whisper.
"Do you think it's better to go to the battlefield or wait for the arrangement?"
"The emperor seems to be trying to personally lead the army like the founding emperor. Our four guards will go with the army, will we go?"
"As long as you work hard, you can get enough food and clothing, it seems good!"
“…”
Emperor Chongzhen did not stop the situation on the school ground, so he let them discuss it. After all, this is one of the most important choices in their lives.
After measuring the soldiers on the school ground, they began to raise their hands one after another based on their own situation.
"I'll give you another fifty numbers to consider." After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, the Jinyiwei's captain began to count loudly.
After hearing this, the soldiers below whispered to each other and were more people, obviously thinking about how to make a decision.
