Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Most of the generals in the hall have been guarding Liaodong for generations. Over the past hundred years, they have developed the habit of calling the shots in the territory of Liaodong. Even the original Emperor Chongzhen did not dare to force them too much. Now, a man suddenly came.  The Dragon Crossing the River vows that I will kill you if you don't accept it.  The worst thing is that this dragon crossing the river is not just talk, but they have real goods in their hands. Not to mention how aggrieved they are, Zu Dashou is experienced and immediately admits his mistake and admits defeat.

    Looking at Zu Dashou who was kneeling on the ground, Li Yan looked slightly cold and remained silent. Li Yuan and a group of generals stood behind Li Yan, but looked at the generals who were standing behind Zu Dashou and stared at them with sneer.  These people are hard-nosed people who are accustomed to being uncles in the past. They think that our Dahua is just like the Ming Dynasty in the past, and they can't take advantage of you even if they let you have fun.  It makes sense to live on empty wages. Doesn¡¯t the imperial court have any money to give you?  If you want to make a fortune, it's easy. Just go to the battlefield to rob and seize. What's the point of getting rich by drinking the blood of soldiers!

    After Zu Dashou knelt down to plead guilty, after a while he realized that Li Yan just stood on the spot and said nothing. What was going on with his natural way? He couldn't help cursing these idiots in his heart. How long had it been and they were still putting on airs, so  He turned around and shouted sternly at the generals behind him: "What are you waiting for? Why don't you kneel down to the supervisor and apologize!"

    Zu Dashou was startled by Zu Dashou's sharp shout. Everyone looked at each other for a while, then knelt down in aggrieved manner and praised: "Don't blame me, Supervisor, it's all our fault. From now on, no one will do anything else."  I don¡¯t dare to violate military regulations.¡±

    Seeing all the generals kneeling on the ground, Li Yan's expression softened a little and he said loudly: "Everyone, it's not that I am criticizing us, but that the imperial court has its own rules. Although I, Dahua, am  When he was first established, military merit was the most important thing to the emperor, and he ordered the army repeatedly not to pretend to claim military merit or to embezzle military pay. Violators would be killed without mercy. The emperor also knew that most of the border officers and soldiers came from the pre-Ming Dynasty, and bad habits had been deeply rooted in people's hearts for hundreds of years. But bad habits are bad habits, regardless of whether they exist or not.  For whatever reason, it¡¯s wrong to live on empty wages. A man¡¯s wealth and glory can only be obtained from the direct, how can he obtain it by doing those things like chickens crowing and dogs stealing?¡±

    At this point, Zu Dashou¡¯s face became a little pale again. They could tell that the court was serious this time, and Zu Dashou was secretly upset.  He originally thought that His Majesty had personally told him that he wanted to improve military discipline at the border.  But he always thought that these centuries-old traditions, even His Majesty, could not be overly hasty and had to be taken step by step. Unexpectedly, the new governor sent by His Majesty showed his steel sword as soon as he arrived, and he was even naked.  Threatening, if you are not honest, I will kill you all.

    Zu Dashou let out a long sigh. After all, his arms couldn't twist his thighs. Seeing that the situation was over, he cupped his hands and said, "Supervisor, please forgive me. It's all because of the lax discipline of the generals. Please take some credit for their achievements in the past."  Please forgive them this time!"

    After saying that, Zu Dashou laid his body on the ground.  It means that if you want to be beaten or punished, go ahead and I will never fight back.

    Li Yan's original intention was just to give the opponent a blow, not to kill all the Liaodong generals. Now that he saw that Zu Dashou and others had really admitted their mistake, he took the opportunity to get off the slope, nodded and said: "Since  General Zu pleads for mercy for all the generals, and I will spare you this time, but you should know that the army has its own military rules. No one is allowed to break it, do you remember it?"

    Everyone said in unison: "We will remember it and we will never do it again next time!"

    "Yeah" Li Yan nodded and said, "Okay, let's all get up!"

    "Thank you, Governor!"

    Hearing that Li Yan forgave everyone, everyone stood up.  The look he looked at Li Yan was very complicated, with awe, resentment, and even a hint of dissatisfaction.

    Li Yan naturally noticed the looks in his eyes.  Since ancient times, the Chinese people have always been concerned about leaving a trace in everything. Since they have just been slapped, they should naturally be given a sweet date. He nodded slightly and said: "Of course, your Majesty has also considered the hardship of the soldiers. Tomorrow tomorrow  The salary given was too low, so it was difficult for the soldiers to make ends meet on their salary. Therefore, His Majesty also set a new rule, that is, from now on, the salary of all generals will be doubled according to the original level.  There is a reward, and I will tell you all the details in the future."

    "What, the salary has been increased?"

    The expressions on everyone's faces suddenly became exciting. This was not easy. When they worked under the Ming Dynasty, their salaries had been set since Zhu Yuanzhang was defeated. It has been almost three hundred years and has never been increased.  , now that I have just changed my boss, my salary has increased three times immediately. It seems that this slot is really the right one.

    It was Zu Dashou who was the first to react. He glared at the stunned generals and shouted: "Why are you still standing there, why don't you thank the supervisor!"

    Only then did everyone react and quickly bowed.?: "I would like to thank the supervisor at the end!"

    Li Yan could not accept this favor. If His Majesty found out, he would not be able to reap the benefits. He quickly waved his hand and said hurriedly: "Hey why are you thanking me? Your salary is too high."  It was not issued by my official, it was a special order issued by the Emperor after seeing the hard work of the border officers. If you want to thank the Emperor, please thank the Emperor!"

    "Yes, yes, thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone came to their senses and quickly changed their words.

    When they heard that the imperial court had given them a salary increase, everyone's expressions became normal. Although compared to the empty quota, the salary increase was still a little less. In any case, a salary increase is always a good thing, and it was paid by the imperial court.  Only fools don't want the honest money that comes down.

    Seeing that the matter had been dealt with, Li Yan no longer had the appetite to continue eating, so he said: "Well, okay, everyone, this is the end of tonight's banquet. You must remember that at midnight tomorrow, the entire army will gather together.  At the school ground, the governor will inspect all the soldiers, read out the imperial edict to the soldiers, and award them with pay. Anyone who fails to do so will be responsible for the consequences!"

    "yes!"

    The day passed like this. In the blink of an eye, the night passed, and the sky gradually became brighter. A new day began. The time soon arrived at Chen hour, and the thunderous drums rang in the school grounds in the east corner of the city.  As if the sound of drums was a signal, bursts of messy or neat footsteps soon sounded from everywhere and began to converge towards the school grounds.

    Bu Ji, Yi Qian Ye Bu Shu and others also came to the school field. When the drums sounded for the second time, they and others also entered the school field. Since it was a military parade at the school field, they did not ride horses, but went with other infantry.  Running forward together, because so many people rushed in at once, the school grounds were filled with dust, and the whole sky was filled with dust.

    At this time, Li Yan, Zu Dashou and others were all standing on the viewing platform in the center of the school field. Looking at the soldiers coming like a tide on the school field, Zu Dashou and others secretly nodded. Since they had said hello in advance, the soldiers also had  Mentally prepared, they came running as soon as the drum beat, and now almost all of the nearly 10,000-strong army had arrived. This was a pretty good result.

    Zu Dale came up to Zu Dashou and said with some pride: "Brother, our Jinzhou children are in good spirits today! Look, almost everyone has arrived before the second tong drum is finished.  , much faster than the people brought by Inspector Li!"

    Zu Dashou glared at him and reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense. Their camp is nearly a mile longer than ours, so it will naturally come slower. What's there to be proud of? But during the days when we are away, you guys  I'm not lazy, that's what makes me happy."

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In addition, he was beaten by Li Yan in the hall last night. Although the two sides seemed to reconcile later, it is impossible to say that the Liaodong generals did not have knots in their hearts. At this moment, seeing these soldiers fighting for him so hard, Zu Dashou  A feeling of self-satisfaction naturally arises in my heart.

    Zu Dashou's second brother Zu Dachou also said proudly: "Haha, what the eldest brother said is true. They say that His Majesty once defeated the Tatars. But according to the younger brother, our sons in Jinzhou may not be worse than them."

    "Hahawhat the second brother said is true!" Zu Dale also nodded frequently.

    Just when the brothers from the ancestral family were secretly proud, a burst of neat footsteps came from a distance.

    "One, two, oneOne, two, one"

    "one two three four"

    At the same time, a sound that sounded like shouting reached their ears at the same time. The sound of footsteps was so neat that even the earth began to tremble slightly.

    "What is this sound?"

    Everyone's faces couldn't help but change color. Everyone, including Zu Dashou, was a veteran who had been a soldier for half his life. How could he not realize that this must be a formation that requires thousands or even tens of thousands of people to march in order?  Woolen cloth.

    "One two one, one two one!"

    As the footsteps became louder and louder, the sounds of orders one after another came to their ears one after another. At the same time, groups of soldiers in black and black armor also ran over in neat steps.  Everyone holds the gun belt tightly in their right hand and swings their left hand vigorously up and down. The whole team looks neat and unusually solemn.

    The faces of Zu Dashou brothers suddenly became a little ugly. Although they marched with this army from the capital to Jinzhou for half a month, due to their tight schedule, almost all their time was spent on the road, and  They had never seen them in action before, so they couldn't help but be shocked when they saw them.

    AncestorShou couldn't help but tighten his hand twirling his beard and murmured: "It seems that I still underestimate them" (To be continued)
