The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

bang bang bang! ! !
There was a burst of gunfire, and there were more than 30 Japanese people left, and only a few people could stand up immediately.

There were only more than [-] people in the front of the Tiqi who fired their shots. Such an accurate hit rate formed the most sharp contrast with the previous firearms soldiers.

You must know that this is just a round of shooting, and it is still done on horseback.

Already nearly half of the hits have been made.

Seeing the shining armored cavalry and the flag fluttering in the wind behind, how could Zhenhaiwei not be familiar with it? This is the Xuanjiawei directly under His Royal Highness Taisun.

The superb riding skills are simply breathtaking, and the thousands of households in Zhenhaiwei can only see envy in their eyes.

Among the more than 300 horses galloping, there are even traces of an army formation.

By this time, Qianhu also understood that Zhenhaiwei must have been targeted by His Royal Highness the Grandson.

At the same time, in the stockade of the Japanese merchant base camp.

The defenseless Japanese merchants had no ability to resist under the charge of 500 people from Zhenhaiwei.

The remaining two hundred or so people surrendered as soon as they met.

There is no need to struggle at all, the perception of the number of people is too obvious.

Those villagers fell to their knees one by one, trembling all over.

Sha Hongguang, a thousand household in Zhenhaiwei, frowned suddenly, without any joy at all.

The Baihu next to him whispered: "Boss, if you are captured alive like this, I'm afraid that the credit will not be enough."

After finishing speaking, he took a special look at the villagers who were kneeling on the ground.

How could Sha Hongguang not understand what his confidants mean.

This is not only to kill prisoners, but also to kill good people.

Only by operating in this way can the credit be maximized, and the reward silver that the upper hand can put down is enough.

"How do you report it, saying that I wiped out thousands of Japanese pirates without even a single casualty?"

"When it is reported to the top, isn't it putting the matter on the table, and if the higher-ups pursue it, who will be responsible?"

Sha Hongguang said in a deep voice.

Although it is a common practice to kill good people and take meritorious service, it cannot be said that it can be put on the table. The laws of Ming Dynasty have very strict punishments for this, even the crime of sitting.

After Shang Yang's reform, Qin State established the military merit award system.

Qin law stipulates: "The one who beheads one head is the first rank of noble; the one who wants to be an official is the official of fifty stones. The beheading of two heads is the second rank of the noble; the one who wants to be an official is the official of one hundred stones. The transfer of the official rank is the same as The power of beheading is commensurate."

That is to say, beheading one level can be promoted to a noble level; if one is an official, the annual salary is at least a hundred stones.According to the provisions of the twentieth-level military merit system, the gentleman with the lowest title is also rewarded with one hectare of land, one house and one servant; one hundred stones of grain is about [-] catties, which is equivalent to the grain production of one hundred acres of land at that time.

Stimulated by generous rewards, the Qin army was overjoyed upon hearing the battle, fearless and invincible on the battlefield, beheading hundreds of thousands of enemy countries at every turn, and finally wiped out the six eastern countries.

After the demise of the Qin Dynasty, the system of conferring military merits was also abolished, but some practices were also inherited.

Because such methods are the most effective in boosting morale, in later generations of film and television, there are often rewards for killing a person, and this is where it comes from.

The Japanese pirates also invaded the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty. For the hunting of the Japanese pirates, there is a regulation on how much rewards a head can be exchanged for.

Therefore, the act of killing good men and pretending to be meritorious deeds in the Ming Dynasty started from the Japanese pirates.

The main reason is that there is not much difference between the Japanese pirates and the Han people of Ming Dynasty. For example, the people of Ming Dynasty along the coast have lived by the sea for a long time, so it is difficult to distinguish the behavior of impersonation.

You Qi had his head chopped off, and with a smear of lime, even experienced autopsies would find it difficult to tell the difference.

This gave many sergeants a chance.

And usually the chief is well aware of this, and even participates in it, occupying the largest share.

Hearing Qianhu's words, Baihu felt unwilling.

Now because of the arrival of His Highness the Grandson, many of the brothers' financial resources have been stopped, and no one knows how long it will take to recover.

If His Highness Taisun stays here for a month, will there be no movement for a month?

Many sergeants in Zhenhaiwei, because of their sudden wealth, have become extravagant in their spending, especially when it comes to inviting officials to drink flower wine, which is extremely common.

If anyone skipped two meals of wine, maybe the next time the money will be divided, it will be less than half.

What's more, if you invite Shangguan to drink, you can also have fun together, and you can get things done and have fun. With this excuse, the sergeants can be said to be scrambling.

Recently, there is little money, but the sergeants have long been used to this kind of life. Every time they are off duty, they go to restaurants to eat and drink.

In less than ten days, many sergeants were already cash-strapped and desperate for another windfall.

But now, the windfall is in front of them.

Perhaps for recruits, it is a little difficult to accept killing good people and taking meritorious deeds, and they may not be able to get over that hurdle in their hearts.

But for veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, they have long been numb to death, whether it is the enemy or themselves.

"Look, boss, there are at least hundreds of young and strong people here, and it is impossible for anyone to recognize them if they are taken to the inspection department."

"As for the casualties, let's let a group of brothers retire first, take them to the Cao Gang for a few days, and still receive pensions."

"When His Majesty Grandson leaves here, he will change his household registration and let the brothers come back."

"Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone."

Bai Hu's eyeballs rolled quickly, and soon he had an idea.

It has to be said that as bold as a person is, the land can be as productive as possible. This method of operation really made Sha Hongguang, including several hundred households around, shine.

After Sha Hongguang thought about it, he found that this method was indeed feasible.

And the hundreds of households in the surrounding area showed eagerness in their eyes.

Daming's pension is not low, especially for veterans like them, it is faster than killing Japanese pirates.

Calculating casually in your heart, it is a large amount of objective wealth.

Just when everyone was eager to try, Sha Hongguang suddenly said: "No."

Hundreds of households were stunned for a moment, thinking they had heard it wrong.

Sha Hongguang said in a deep voice: "It's a good idea, but it can't be used now."

"It's hard for you to think about it, who will show the credit for killing the Japanese pirates this time."

Baihu said: "Of course it is for His Royal Highness."

Sha Hongguang asked again: "Then let me ask you, should we only kill the young and strong, or slaughter the village completely?"

As soon as this question was asked, several hundred households were immediately caught in a tangle.

A hundred households opened their mouths to speak, but immediately swallowed it back.

Because in everyone's thinking, it must be to take the head of a young man and pretend to be a Japanese pirate in exchange for money.

But this involves a problem, and it is also a problem that hundreds of households subconsciously ignore.

If these old and weak women and children, how about going to report to the officials.

Is the matter completely exposed.

In order to prevent being exposed, do they have to kill them all again?

The dynasties of the past dynasties have summed up a set of effective methods in order to prevent the killing of the good.

The Qin State was the first to implement the system of conferring military merits, and it also had a set of measures to prevent killing good men and false meritorious service. It had strict regulations on beheading: when beheading, it should be cut off at the root of the neck to expose the Adam's apple, so as to prevent the army from using children and women as prey.

The head should be handed over to officials for verification within three days after the victory to prevent counterfeiting.

Officers are not allowed to kill the enemy, and the officer's reward is calculated based on the total number of enemies killed by the army after the battle, so as to prevent the occurrence of commanders using their power to "snatch heads".

After the head is handed in, there is also a set of inspection methods.The first is to look at the shape of the bun.During the Warring States Period, the hairdos of Qin people were different from those of the six eastern countries.

The state of Qin is located in the frontier, and the hair of the Qin people is on the right side. Han, Wei, Zhao Qiyan, and Zhao Qiyan regard the middle as the most important, and they all wear the middle bun. The heads handed in can be seen at a glance, which effectively prevents the decapitation of one's own head.

In addition, team-mates and officials are required to support the level-cutting, and basically there will be no head-grabbing phenomenon.

"Liye Qin Bamboo Slips" records a case of killing a good man and taking meritorious service.

A soldier killed the guard on duty in the barracks and came to report his meritorious service overnight with his head.

The head inspection officials found that the fatal injuries to the head were caused by daggers, not spears or crossbows. However, most of the fatal injuries in the battle between the two armies were caused by spears and crossbows. Killing people with daggers is really rare.

So he immediately ordered the officers at all levels to count the number of soldiers, and if there were any missing persons, they would immediately come to claim the head, and it turned out that they were killing good men and pretending to be meritorious.

Daming is still using this firm method today.

Although Zhenhaiwei was strong, at this time in the early Ming Dynasty, even if there was corruption in the army, it would not be completely rotten to the root. In many respects, it was relatively strict.

It was not until the middle and late Ming Dynasty that they were considered to be in the same boat, mixed together, pretending to be confused, hello, hello, hello, everyone.

This time, the hundred households also became tangled.

A whole village has been slaughtered, and no one will take care of it in troubled times, but right now, it is considered a big case, and it may even alarm the capital.

The greater the impact, the more difficult the problem will be.

All of them have Daming household registration, and everyone carries taxes.

If the tax of a village disappears, even if it is concealed, how long can it be concealed.

Even if it is to open up the relationship and suppress the matter, how much money will be spent in the process is not paid by oneself.

Even if it is suppressed for a while, who will pay the taxes in this village?

The government is not stupid, and they will not say that they will make up for Zhenhaiwei. There is not only one thousand households in Zhenhaiwei. If others don't get some benefits, how can they help.

Could it be possible to use the money in his pocket to help fill the hole here?

Calculated in this way, if you pay taxes every year, let Sha Qianhu and his brothers make up for it?That's not a bad thing.

"Damn it, with such a sum, the brothers still have to pay for it."

Baihu said cursingly.

Baihu, who had offered advice before, was still a little unwilling, and suggested again: "Why don't you say they colluded with Japanese pirates?"

As soon as these words came out, the other hundred households looked at him like a fool.

Especially Sha Hongguang, there was a bit of strangeness in his eyes: Could it be that he is trying to trick me?

He thought he was King Yan, so he could kill him however he wanted.

As a thousand households of Zhenhaiwei, how can they have such great power.

The key is to check at the top, and the designation does not have to run.

Maybe the other brothers can still survive, but he definitely has no choice but to be executed.

"Tie up the Japanese pirates and go back to receive meritorious service. Don't deal with crooked people. Our brothers here are all dragged by their families. No one can afford what happened."

"There are old mothers, wives and children to support at home, so less is better than losing your life."

Following Sha Hongguang's opening, even if he felt a little upset, that's all he could do.

However, all this anger was cast on the Japanese merchants, and the sergeant who kidnapped the person would slap him with a slap in the face if something went wrong.

These Japanese merchants screamed again and again after being beaten.

Hearing the cry, the sergeants of Zhenhaiwei got even more energetic, swung the back of their swords and beat them violently, until their heads were bleeding.

Sha Hongguang didn't care, even if dozens of people were killed, it wouldn't be a big deal, and he wouldn't say that anyone cared.

The fate of these pirates, since they were caught, was doomed to be death.

This kind of thing is acquiesced by the above.

But as Sha Hongguang was walking, he suddenly thought of it and gave an order:
"Less kill a few, we just need people to build roads in Zhenhaiwei, and these Japanese pirates seem to be quite capable."

"I heard that the road construction court has allocated funds to use these Japanese people to replace corvees. With some allowances, there should be some income. If they are killed, there will only be rewards for one head."

When the sergeants heard the words, their eyes lit up immediately, and they looked at the Japanese, like shining treasures, and stopped beating immediately.

Hundreds of households looked at Sha Hongguang with admiration.

After all, it is Mr. Qianhu, this ability to pluck wool is really unmatched by ordinary people.

"It seems that people like Zhenhaiwei have a bit of conscience." Zhu Ying said with a smile.

The spies in the distance reported all the situation on Sha Hongguang's side.

Of course you can't hear what you say, but you can see the things that appease the villagers and kidnap the Japanese pirates.

Zhu Ying's requirements for these sergeants are quite low. As long as they don't kill innocent people indiscriminately, in Zhu Ying's opinion, they are very good, and they can already surpass [-]% of the sergeants in the guard.

Uncle Zhang said at this time: "Boss, these sergeants are very dark. I guess they feel that the benefit of massacring the village is too bad, so they act like this."

Zhu Ying shook her head and said, "No matter what they say, no matter what they think, at least they didn't do anything."

"Ordinary sergeants, including those with hundreds and thousands of households, most of them have never read a book. We can't ask them from our perspective. It is enough to think of these."

Hearing this, Uncle Zhang lowered his head and said, "My master is right, it's the old slave who is worrying too much."

Zhu Ying waved her hand: "Order, let's go, let's just go to Zhenhaiwei for a stroll."

The news of His Highness Taisun's appearance reached Zhenhaiwei in a very short period of time.

The thousands of households in Zhenhaiwei, especially the commander Chai Bai, suddenly became tense.

This is His Highness Taisun, the proper future His Majesty of Ming Dynasty.

It is a great honor to personally inspect Zhenhaiwei.

It's just that this honor, in Zhenhaiwei's view, is almost like bad news.

They have done too many things, and any one of them is known by His Royal Highness, once they hold on to it, let alone others, Chai Bai, the commander of the command room, will lose his position.

"I'll put my words here first. If someone makes His Royal Highness unhappy, don't blame me for not talking about the brotherhood in the past."

In the hall of the parliament, Chai Bai looked coldly at the thousands of households sitting there, and said viciously.
