Beiyang new warlord

"Shut up for me! Listen to me!"

"Shut up! Listen to the general!"

"You fucking yelled, the general wants to talk!"

It was really applauding. In the crowd, they slapped each other. In less than a minute, the boiling army of mutinies quieted down again, and a group of soldiers looked at Mao Jue eagerly.

And Mao Jue helplessly stretched out his hand to drag Zhang Yuanwailang from the Ministry of War who was kneeling down again.

"Master Zhang! The problem needs to be solved! Our army killed 100 50 people. According to the court rules, one person will be compensated with 60 taels of silver for burning and buried, and the head below, the military flag, the imperial court will reward 100 taels for each head, and a flag for 3 taels. How come there are 1000 taels of these, right? That doesn’t include military rewards, Mr. Zhang, 4000 taels is already the lowest, and you don’t look like a corrupt official. Can you tell me why there are only [-] taels? [-] taels?"

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

Hearing Mao Jue's serious expression, Zhang Yuanwailang couldn't help showing his face full of astonishment, and Kong Youde hummed impatiently beside him.

"What's the point of selling, tell me quickly! You literati are long-winded!"

Trembling with fright, Zhang Yuanwailang quickly poured out everything in his stomach like a gourd with its mouth sawn off.

"Gentlemen! According to the rules of the Jiajing period, the Ministry of Households will not distribute the reward in full. If it is reported to 9 taels, it will be 6 taels when it is issued. The adults of the five armies of the Ministry of War will take part of it as an example, and the rest Forty-five thousand taels is enough, and the money of all heroes went to Shandong, Denglai Governor Sun Yuanhua withheld another 5000 taels, and the God of Wealth extended his hand along the way, so the remaining 3 taels is not bad!"

With a sad face, Zhang Yuanwailang hugged Luo Quanyi and was about to cry.

"According to the established practice, 4000 taels should be deducted by me and Mrs. Jiao, who rewarded the army with 1 taels. We can see that the army is brave, swift and violent, but Mr. Jiao and I didn't pay for a tael of silver. We really don't have a penny." Take the army, if you don’t believe it, search it!”

Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming's gang were dumbfounded after hearing this explanation, and all the money he worked so hard for was gone just like that!Not only the generals on the platform, but even the soldiers below were dull-faced.

At this time, Mao Jue's scolding voice suddenly came out.

"Get out of here! Go back and stand in line, who the hell told you to come to the front, don't you fucking want money? Get out!"

Mao Jue was furious. The crowd who had been aggressive just now melted away instantly like the remnant snow in the scorching sun. Under the yelling of their respective officers, the army retreated to their respective positions, but they all became listless.

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

"Oh, my lords, I'm so sorry! These bad guys and barbarians have lived in a foreign land for a long time. They have no laws. The last general is also new to the officialdom. He doesn't understand all the rules. Originally, he wanted to Let the two imperial envoys personally distribute the money to the laborers, and let these vulgar people feel the majesty of the emperor's grace, who knows who knows."

"What are you still doing in a daze, let the money go! Don't forget to withhold the 4000 taels of silver from the two imperial envoys. Why are you staring at me? Why don't you go so fucking fast, you want to be punished?"

Reluctantly, Pang Pang Hai, Liu Chong, and Kong Youde stepped down a little bit, and several small money boxes were opened in front of the army.

I still took care of the family members who died in battle. One person was issued five taels of silver, which took up 5000 taels in one go. Some disabled soldiers also received five taels, and the rest were distributed to the army.

"Heh, I have worked hard for this little money!"

Among the crowd, Mao Jue's confidant, Qianhu Shen Rong, sneered a few times as he weighed the five hundred characters that had just arrived, before throwing them on the ground and turning his head with his arms crossed in disdain.

Seeing his scene, the other soldiers shook their heads with the rusty copper coins in their hands. This head nodded to the general platform, and asked someone to hold two boxes, while Mao Jue smiled and took the two The imperial envoy sent him to the carriage.

"This matter is so offensive, Mao Jue is here to confess! Yizhou City, I have already set up a banquet, and we don't waste time with these soldiers and ruffians. Let's talk about it in Tieshan City?"

It was a moment of hell and heaven, Zhang Yuanwailang was almost out of Stockholm Syndrome, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, he got into the carriage tremblingly, but the two silver boxes hugged tightly.

This Mao Jue is gone, it seems that everything is cold, carrying those copper coins, a large group of soldiers are about to go out cursing, and the family members of the soldiers who died in the family are also holding the five taels of silver Look down.

There was also a young woman, leading three children, walking out with the five taels of silver in a trance, and when she reached the gate of the camp, her legs softened, she sat down on the ground, and immediately wailed. cry.

"Oh my god! How does the slave family live! There are four children in the family who are waiting to be fed, and there are parents on top, and the husband doesn't even have a brother. With this little money, how can the slave family live!"

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

It's a typical lonely person. All the strong men in the family are dead, and they have to raise their children to support their parents. Listening to the young woman sitting on the ground and crying loudly, other sergeants and family members also feel sore, but those who watched There are many, but none reach out to her. I don’t know how many people like her have died in charge of the family. Everyone is tense. The court has become mean, and people’s hearts have become indifferent.

But at this moment, a carriage stopped, and immediately after, a heavy amount of money was stuffed into the arms of the young woman.

"Sister-in-law, take it!"

"This"

Seeing a shiny and heavy official silver ingot stuffed into her hand, the young woman couldn't help being stunned, she raised her head quickly, but lowered her head quickly, saluting in panic.

"Young Madam!"

There were soldiers beside him squinting at him, this sound almost scared them away, and Yang Fei hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed.

"My little one pays respects to the Young Madam!"

"Young Madam, this!"

The silver was heavy, it should be 50 taels. Holding it in her hand, the young woman looked confused, but when she turned around, Su Yi stuffed her with another silver coin.

"Oh, that's enough! Young Madam, I thank you very much, that's enough, I can't ask for any more!"

"Sister-in-law, just take it! This is not from me, but from my family's general. He ordered that all martyrs who died in battle will be given 100 taels of silver for burning and burying each family! If you don't want to take it, go back The general should punish Su Yi!"

"This"

"Just accept it!"

Smiling gently like an angel, she stuffed the money into the young woman's arms, and Su Yi's voice like a silver bell rang again in the crowd.

"Everyone come back! Where's Pang Pang? Where's Brother Mao Youde? Commander Su Yi brings money over here. Come and help, and give money to the soldiers!"

Without the majesty and solemnity just now, and the orderly order, the soldiers who participated in the battle and the family members of the dead family members lined up in two lines. This side, in Su Yi's gentle smile, was listed on her roster. She handed over two heavy ingots of 100 taels of silver with her own hands, and on the other end, Adelaine was obviously very cold, and quickly copied it in a business-like manner, but in her hands, soldiers who had participated in the battle could also receive 50 taels of silver, and she has fought side by side with Mao Jue for so many days, for the soldiers, she is closer than Su Yi, a bit like a buddy.

"Sister Yang, didn't the court only issue 1 taels of silver? This is it?"

Holding a silver ingot, a soldier asked stupidly. Before he could finish the question, he was slapped on the back of the head. Standing next to him was Pang Dahai, who was full of hatred for iron and steel, grinning. cursed.

"You silly boy! You still want to get the money with the court's meanness? This is what our general paid out of his own pocket and squeezed out from between his teeth to reward our army. Didn't you see that it was sent by the two ladies? ?”

"Ah? Then, I don't want that little one! As long as the general can burn and bury the money! I have several brothers who died under the Dalinghe city!"

It's really simple, the soldier actually stuffed the money back on the table, turned around and wanted to leave, which made Pang Hai laugh bitterly and dragged the kid back, stretched out his hand and stuffed the money back into his arms .

"You are rewarded by the general. If you let you take it, you can take it! There are so many nonsense, the general said, even if you eat chaff, it is impossible to let the brothers who accept you bleed for nothing. You want the general to break his promise! "

"Just remember! Who are you fighting for! You are so anxious that the Lord treats you well! I remember you boy, the second row of the ninth whistle musket, and you stabbed three of them to death with a bayonet when you rushed to the pass. Tartar, open a way out for us, you have seen what happened in the court this time, so I can't reward you more, but I will remember you!"

Once again, he was stunned and bowed to Pang Dahai, and the soldier immediately bowed to Adelaine.

"Little one, thank you, General!"

"Next!"

Adelaine's face was still so frosty, but her blue eyes still had a wave of waves in the voice of thanking the general.

This conversation seemed to spread among the crowd, and the next soldiers and martyrs who came up to receive the money also bowed to Adelaine and Su Yi after registering.
