Chapter 238 is trying to make it difficult for you, so what can you do?
Except for the 100,000 troops who were loyal to Zhu Youtang, which one of the Ming Dynasty sergeants here did not come to serve as a soldier for money?
Especially the soldiers of the three major battalions who went on an expedition to the northwest. They risked their lives to kill the enemy. Is it just because they are the people of the Ming Dynasty?
Of course not, they also need money to support their families!
And Zhu Youtang didn't talk about loyalty or dedication with his soldiers. Zhu Youtang only talked about money!
Loyalty is bought with money.
And as long as the money is in place, the Han army will be the most powerful army in the world!
The sergeants on the school field looked at the white silver with fiery eyes.
Gao Shun didn't hesitate and asked Xichang's fan to start releasing money immediately.
"Chen Liuding!"
"Arrived!"
"Kill five enemies and get a total reward of fifteen taels!"
"Zhao Yiya!"
"Arrived!"
"Kill seventeen enemies, reward seventy-seven taels of silver, and raise a small flag!"
"..."
The silver rewarded by Zhu Youtang is cumulative.
Every soldier whose name was called couldn't help crying with joy when he stepped forward to receive his own silver.
Too many!
The money your Majesty gave us is too much!
The heavy amount of money was placed in their arms, and they also kept Zhu Youtang in their hearts.
Long live your Majesty!
This sentence has truly become the innermost thoughts of every Ming Dynasty soldier.
After distributing the silver to the soldiers who went on the expedition, Xichang also distributed copper coins to every civilian in the logistics unit.
Holding the money in their hands tightly, the people in these logistics troops burst into tears.
"Your Majesty is truly a master of the sky!"
"Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
Zhu Youtang's reputation for being benevolent, kind, and caring for the people has spread to every inch of land in Beizhili.
Every citizen of Beizhili is grateful from the bottom of his heart that the Ming Dynasty can have a wise king like Zhu Youtang.
But it is a pity that most people are illiterate.
Even if they knew that Zhu Youtang was a good emperor, they could not record it for future generations to know.
The right to speak is never in their hands.
On the contrary, the gentry and wealthy families in Jiangnan hated Zhu Youtang to the core!
Not long ago, Zhu Youtang's imperial edict to bring order to chaos was announced to the world.
The nerves of Jiangnan people who had been excited for almost a month were immediately broken!
Zhu Youtang canceled all the preferential treatment policies given to Jiangnan by Yu Shen.
All systems are back to normal.
The imperial examinations were again divided into north and south, taxes were no longer exempted, and the land acres had to be continuously checked.
They have been happy for nothing for more than a month!
In order to vent their anger, these Jiangnan people secretly fabricated stories about Zhu Youtang's mediocre deeds among the people.
Write Zhu Youtang into novels, plays, and personal history books.
Zhu Youtang is portrayed as a doting eunuch, cruel and unruly, arbitrary and tyrannical emperor.
These books were only circulated among the upper class in the south of the Yangtze River and were loved by the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.
The right to speak of the people lies entirely in the hands of these people!
At the same time, the Jin Yiwei who were ordered to send a message to Wang Yue were about to arrive at Wang Yue's Chinese army camp.
The person leading these Jin Yiwei is none other than the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Xuanwu!
Prior to this, the southern army led by Wang Yue had entered the territory of Huguang.
It is a pity that a thousand confidants and military guards sent from Nanjing moved directly into Wang Yue's Chinese army camp.
The army was forced to stay in place for a long time, and a month was wasted.
These government guards, citing Zhu Youqian's order, said they were exercising the duty of supervising the army, but in fact they were taking Wang Yue under their supervision.
Its main purpose was to keep Wang Yue's hundreds of thousands of troops under control and prevent Wang Yue from leading his troops back to Beijing to aid Zhu Youtang.
But there was no need for the hundreds of thousands of troops to take action. Zhu Youtang defeated Yu Shen and regained power.
At this moment, the Jin Yiwei came to eradicate the traitors and let Wang Yue continue to the county of Annan!
……
Flying fish suit, embroidered spring knife.
Xuanwu Guards led more than a hundred Jinyi Guards, dressed in uniforms, and rushed to Wang Yue's Chinese army camp covered with dust.
On the sentry tower of the Chinese army camp, the soldiers in charge of the sentry saw this very obvious group of Jin Yiwei at a glance.
Immediately, he announced loudly: "The Jin Yiwei is here! The Jin Yiwei is here!"
The arrival of the Jin Yiwei made the already tense atmosphere in the military camp even more solemn.
Zhang Yong, the eunuch in charge of the army, and Ma Yongcheng, the eunuch in charge of food, immediately walked out of their tents, their eyes full of worry.
"Jinyiwei is here? Is it possible that there are new changes in the situation in the capital?"
"Do you think that King Xing can really secure the throne?"
"After he secures the throne, will he take action against us two Dongchang stall owners?"
Ma Yongcheng asked Zhang Yong worriedly. What he was most concerned about now was the position under his butt.
The situation in the capital was too complicated, and Yu Shen deliberately cut off the communication between the capital and other places. As a result, as the stalls of Dongchang, the intelligence they obtained was very limited.
In fact, until now, no one in the Chinese army camp fully understood what happened in the capital. All they knew was that something happened to Zhu Youtang, and that Xingwang Zhu Youtang was elected as the new emperor.
As for other things, our knowledge is very limited.
Zhang Yong's expression was also solemn: "We were once the emperor and the court ministers. We were promoted by the Supreme Emperor. If King Xing is really allowed to secure the throne, I am afraid we will not be too happy."
Ma Yongcheng said sincerely: "Oh, it would be great if the Emperor could return to the capital safely and restore himself."
"In that case, we won't be the ones to worry about..."
Zhang Yong said, glancing at Zhao Xun who had just walked out of the Chinese army camp.
Zhao Xun is the commander of the imperial army and Yu Qian's confidant.
It was he who led a thousand military guards and used Zhu Youqi's imperial edict to forcefully enter Wang Yue's Chinese army camp and take care of it.
Since he moved into Wang Yue's Chinese army camp, he has basically been in charge of everything in the camp.
Wang Yue has not appeared in front of the soldiers for a long time.
At this time, Zhao Xun looked equally solemn and felt uneasy inside.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
He knew about Yu Qian's coup and attempted to usurp power, and he stood firmly by Yu Qian's side.
As we all know, the louder the waves, the more expensive the fish.
While the rewards of a coup are extremely rich, the risks are equally huge.
No one can guarantee that Yu Shen's actions are foolproof and will definitely succeed.
If Yu Shen fails, the only thing waiting for them, the army guards, is death.
"Go and call all our people to the school field."
"All the expeditionary forces are staying in their own camps. No one is allowed to step out of the camp without my order!"
Zhao Xun took precautions and arranged manpower in advance.
In this way, no matter whether the news brought by the Jin Yiwei is good or bad, he can take the initiative.
"Yes, Commander!"
After hearing the order, the Fujun guards around Zhao Xun immediately called out the Fujun guards in the camp and asked the other soldiers to return to their camps.
Not long after, the Jin Yiwei in the distance finally arrived outside the Chinese army camp.
"Your Majesty has a decree, Governor Wang Yue, come out quickly to receive the decree!"
The Jinyi guards came to the school grounds unimpeded. The Xuanwu guards rode on their horses, holding Zhu Youtang's edict high and shouting loudly.
Zhao Xun led more than a dozen Fujun guards, took a few steps forward with a smile on his face, and greeted each other.
"It's really hard for all of you, my lords, to travel all the way."
"A little care is not disrespectful."
"Governor Wang Yue is ill and is recuperating in the camp. It is not convenient for him to come out to receive the order."
"The Governor-General has asked my subordinates to receive orders on my behalf. If you have any orders from Your Majesty, please tell me directly and I will convey them to the Governor-General!"
Zhao Xun said and winked.
Immediately, a Fujun guard came forward and presented a stack of Hongzhi treasure notes to Xuanwu Guards very respectfully.
Xuanwu Wei glanced at the stack of treasure notes indifferently, but did not take it, but said coldly.
"Did you know that bribing court officials is the same crime as corruption?"
"As a commander of the Imperial Guard, how many heads do you have that His Majesty can chop off?"
The Fujun Guards and the Jinyi Guards are of the same rank in terms of rank, and both belong to the Ming Dynasty's 26 Guards.
As a fellow commander, Xuanwu's rank is half a rank lower than Zhao Xun's commander.
But the Jinyiwei are the emperor's confidants and have the power of bodyguards, ceremonial guards, arrests, and prisons.
The power in his hands is so great that it cannot be compared to that of a military guard who is in charge of reserve soldiers.
Xuanwu's merciless words immediately made Zhao Xun turn livid with anger and felt that his face was shameless.
But in order to take the overall situation into consideration, Zhao Xun had to swallow his anger and explained with a shy smile: "It's just a filial piety for a little tea money, how can it be said to be a bribe?"
"You are so upright and upright, and you don't keep a penny privately, which makes us admire you. You are really a good example worth learning from..."
Before Zhao Xun finished taking pictures of the horses, Xuanwu interrupted rudely: "Without further ado, let Governor Wang Yue come to receive the order immediately!"
"Lord Xuanwu, Governor Wang Yue is really ill and it is inconvenient to accept the order. Can you please let us do it for you..."
"You alone are worthy of His Majesty's decree?!"
Xuanwu showed his disdain unabashedly: "Today's decree can only be received by Governor Wang Yue himself!"
Being targeted again and again by Xuanwu, the clay figurine was still angry. Zhao Xun was even more furious and extremely angry.
"Your Majesty has made it very clear. Just tell me your Majesty's imperial edict directly and let me listen to it. There is no need to disturb the Governor."
"Master Xuanwu is so unyielding, but you want to make it difficult for me?"
Zhao Xun had a stern face and a solemn tone.
At the same time, the thousands of military guards on the school grounds also approached Xuanwu with unkind expressions, pointing their weapons at Xuanwu and others from afar.
When Xuanwu saw this scene, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he sneered: "I just want to make it difficult for you, what can you do?"
