Chapter 232 There is a brave man under the heavy reward.

He waved his hand to ask Jin Yiwei to take these worms away.

These people can't be killed for the time being, and they still need to enjoy Jinyiwei's package service, and then feel comfortable and tell more about the people above or below.

These people dared to reach out to the royal building's public funds. Without the protection of the people above, they would never move their minds.

Zhu Zhangui suspects that there must be one or even several big fish over there!
Xia Yuanji followed them last year and the year before last, and the Ministry of Households was a little less guarded.

In addition, the old man is not here, Zhu Pangpang is busy with overseas affairs, and the supervision may be a bit poor, which makes these guys think that there is an opportunity.

Zhu Zhangui wants to use these dozens of guys to clean up the court severely.

Pull down as many big ones as you can.

The old man's remaining years are not long, and Zhu Zhangui wants to prepare to train his own people to be superior.

As for the old man Zhu Pangpang.

Ok.

Zhu Zhangui felt that with his father's physical condition, it would be good to be able to stay in the position for three years.

Therefore, before assuming the throne, he will replace the positions of various departments of the imperial court with people he likes.

When the moths were escorted away by Jin Yiwei, Zhu Zhangui stood on the high platform with a smile on his face, looking around at the workers and craftsmen around him.

"Okay, someone will deal with these moths that affect your mood, let's talk about our affairs!"

The laborers and craftsmen, who were chatting happily and quietly while watching the moths who oppressed them were taken away by the court, were stunned for a moment when they heard this.

Our business, what else is there?

Is it to increase benefits for us?

Thinking of the new batch of laborers and what the grandson did, many people felt excited.

I heard that the grandsons around are very rich.

Do you think everyone is pitiful, and give everyone a better treatment.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Zhu Zhangui expectantly.

After everyone looked over, Zhu Zhangui raised the horn and said loudly.

"I believe everyone should know that the prairie people in the north have invaded our Daming, and the imperial court is organizing troops to fight against them!"

"This is a life-and-death war. Everyone must have heard about how the Yuan Dynasty harmed us Han people, so we can only win this war but not lose it."

"Once we lose, our land will return to the pastures of the prairie people, our family members will become their slave lambs, and our wives and daughters will be humiliated endlessly again."

"Things that make us ashamed of falling the first child will happen to us again!"

The so-called first child fall is the first child born to the wife who fell to death.

The reason is that during the Yuan Dynasty, some nobles of the Yuan Dynasty set some rules that the Han people hated.

When Han people get married, their newlyweds must be sent to the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty on the night of their bridal chamber, where they will be tortured and humiliated.

Those with better looks would be enjoyed by the people of Yuan Dynasty, and those who were slightly less beautiful would be treated as rewards and tortured by their servants.

In order not to raise these Yuan people bastards, the Han people would throw their first-born children to death.

Although the Yuan people's court later ordered the suspension of this right, many Yuan people in remote places still went their own way and carried out this regulation.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away, but it's not just for the Han family.

Those people from the Yuan Dynasty also played very slickly.

Zhu Zhangui's words made some people below clenched their fists.

They have all heard these things from the older generation, and some of the older generation have even experienced this.

Therefore, the Han people of this generation and those who have experienced hardships in the previous generation are full of hatred for the grassland people.

This is also the reason why the imperial court's many northern conquests were so fierce.

Because these soldiers, like Zhu Di, were full of disgust and anger towards the grassland people.

Zhu Zhangui ordered the massacre of so many prairie people, why didn't it cause waves in the court.

Those officials are not stupid. If this incident breaks out, the people will definitely cheer loudly and support Zhu Zhangui with both hands and feet.

Not only is it useless for them to talk about it, but it will leave a lot of infamy.

Zhu Zhangui stretched out 4 fingers, and said to everyone: "The guys from the north, there are 40 people, including 15 cavalry!"

The anger of the people below was mixed with bewilderment.

They, who have never seen this scene, do not understand what the meaning of this number represents, they only understand that there are many, many enemies.

In fact, don't say that these ancient people, including modern people, gathered 10,000+ people, and they didn't have any concept of impression.

The thoughts in my heart are probably similar to those of people in this era. They are all the same. There should be many, many thoughts.

Zhu Zhangui continued to preach loudly without explaining what it was like to have tens of thousands of people together.

"The imperial court can use about 30 troops, which is obviously at a disadvantage compared with the opponent!"

"Later, fortunately, the enemy fell into our scheme, and the troops were divided into two groups. One went to the Hetao area, and the other went to Nuer Gandusi!"

"As for the enemies on the Hetao side, the imperial court will solve them as soon as possible, but the Nuer Gandusi in the north cannot provide quick support."

"The emperor asked me to lead some soldiers to the north to temporarily block another army of the enemy."

Some people below gradually understood what the grandson wanted to express.

Sure enough, what Zhu Zhangui said next verified their thoughts.

"But I have insufficient troops. The main army of the imperial court only transferred 5000 people to me. According to my estimation, only more than 4 people can be removed from the Nuer Gandusi local guard. In addition, I only have 5 people."

"Do you know how many enemies there are?"

Without waiting for the people below to answer, Zhu Zhangui stretched out three fingers.

"There are more than 30 enemies!"

"And I will take 5 people to fight against the enemy's 30!"

"hiss!"

Many people below couldn't help but gasp.

Although they don't understand how powerful the hundreds of thousands of legions are together, they still know which is more, 30 or [-].

Looking at the shocked and worried expressions of many people below, Zhu Zhangui continued.

"Presumably many of you have already guessed my purpose!"

"That's right. I called you together. I hope that you will temporarily join the army and go north with me to resist the Northern Legion of the Grassland. This will buy time for the main force of the imperial court who wiped out another group of grassland people. Then the two sides will attack and destroy the power of the grassland. The grassland is brought under the rule of the imperial court, so that there will be no more worries about war in the north!"

It was quiet down there.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhu Zhangui thought that these people were afraid.

After all, before this, most of these people were ordinary farmers. Apart from the sickle, kitchen knife and hoe at home, they had never held serious weapons at all, let alone fighting skills.

Now let them go to the north with knives to fight the enemy desperately. I am afraid that these people really can't adapt to it for a while. It is even estimated that many people have already started to shrink back at the thought of fighting with the enemy with knives.

Alas, the country can't be careless, so it can only be smashed with money.

Zhu Zhangui sighed in his heart and decided to release a blockbuster.

"The imperial court has a reward for the head of the enemy. One tael of silver will be rewarded for beheading one person, and one tael of silver will be rewarded for one person captured alive. In addition, there will be land and tax-free rewards!"

The crowd remained indifferent.

I don't know if there is life to make money or life to spend.

The imperial court offered such a high reward, if the enemy was really easy to kill, how could they use them as untouchables.

"But these benefits are for soldiers, but you are different!"

The expressions of the people below were sad for a while.

The great-grandson just said so lively, and said that he was with them and let them make decisions. They thought he was a good person.

As a result, after a few words, the fox's tail was exposed, no different from those bastards who drank blood and ate meat.

Zhu Zhangui stretched out three fingers again.

"The treatment I will give you is to chop off the head of an enemy, and I will give you three taels of silver, and if you capture one alive, I will give you five taels of silver."

Many people who had thought just now raised their heads suddenly, and scratched their ears in disbelief.

Zhu Zhangui continued to hit hard.

"Not only that, every time you kill a person, the imperial court will reward you with two acres of land, and you will be exempted from all taxes and corvees for two years."

"If one is captured alive, the land will remain the same and exempt from tax and corvee for three years!"

"Wow!"

As soon as Zhu Zhangui's promise came out, there was an uproar below.

Nima, this is really rich.

Cut off an enemy's head and give three taels of silver, and if one is captured alive, he will be given five taels of silver, and there will be two acres of land.

This nima went to the battlefield and chopped off two heads casually, and his family became rich directly from a poor peasant.

Many people looked at each other, their eyes and brains turning rapidly.

This can give it a try.

Anyway, I have a bad life. If I am really lucky and kill one or two enemies, the whole family will not have to suffer with me.

When I get rich later, if I buy one or two maids, I might still be able to enjoy the life of a landlord.

The more people think about it, the more excited they become, but some people are still worried.

Can this grandson do what he says?
Also, what if the enemy is killed and disabled?
As the only man who had talked to Zhu Zhangui, he boldly raised his hand and asked loudly.

"His Royal Highness, it's not that we don't believe you, it's because those officials and old men have cheated us too much."

"And what if the enemy is not killed, and the enemy is dead and disabled."

"After all, we have never been on the battlefield. I heard from the old military households in the village that the battlefield is dangerous and you can lose your life at any time!"

When the people around heard what the man said, they all nodded and looked at Zhu Zhangui.

Zhu Zhangui smiled slightly, waved his hand at the man to show that he heard it, and then raised his horn and said loudly.

"The old man asked me just now, how can I guarantee that these benefits will fall on you, and what if the enemy is unfortunately killed or injured if I don't kill it!"

"Surely this is what everyone should be worried about?"

"Yeah yeah…"

There was a burst of shouting around!

Zhu Zhangui raised his hand high.

"I, Zhu Zhangui, swear to the heavens with the dignity of the Zhu family's ancestors and the royal family. If I can't do what I just said, all members of my Ming royal family will be punished by heaven!"

The ancients are the most important oath.

Zhu Zhangui swears to heaven with the ancestors of the Ming royal family, and everyone who was worried just now is relieved a lot.

After taking the oath, Zhu Zhangui continued to the crowd.

"The old uncle was worried about death and disability just now, and here I can make a guarantee."

"For those unfortunate enough to sacrifice their lives for the country, the family members you designate can receive 50 taels of silver as compensation. At the same time, you can pick out a beneficiary. As long as this person is still alive, your family or the family of the beneficiary you mentioned will be exempted All tax corvettes!"

The reason for this decision is that some people are unmarried or bachelors, and their parents are no longer there. They only have brothers and sisters, so this beneficiary also includes brothers and sisters.

"The same is true for the injured person, but the beneficiary becomes yourself."

"As long as you are alive, your family will be exempted from all taxes and corvee!"

"If you can still work, I will arrange for you to enter our Chamber of Commerce to do some work within your ability, and you can get a certain amount of money every month."

"Whoever dares to bully you, you or your beneficiary will take your disability death certificate and go to all the shops under my name, and they will notify me, and I will give it to you, and let your beneficiary be the master."

The hearts of the workers and craftsmen burst into flames.

Regardless of death or injury, the compensation will be 50 taels of silver, and the family can also be exempted from tax and corvee. Calculate the life for at least 30 years.

"I go!"

"Your Highness, I'm going too..."

"And I…"

There must be courage under heavy rewards, and people can really be crazy about money.

The treatment Zhu Zhangui gave, whether it was killing the enemy to make money, or the benefits brought to the family by the death or injury, was something that he would not be able to earn in his entire life.

A fool would not want to go for such a big benefit in exchange for a life.

Turn a bike into a motorcycle.

Regardless of life or death, the family can live a good life, which is many times more profitable than honest farming.

Even if he really died, the family still has a backer.

I died for His Highness Taisun, and His Highness promised to protect his family, and the family will not be afraid of being bullied in the future.

If those landlords and evil officials dare to bully their own family, His Highness Taisun must kill them.

Zhu Zhangui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the response below.

Finally fooled these people.

Uh, no.

The treatment I give is true, why should I say fooling?
The next step is to register and assign teams.

These people will be led by Zhu Zhangui's guard battalion.

There are 500 people in the Zhu Zhangui Guard Battalion, each of whom is a veteran of the battlefield.

Although he doesn't have the talent of a general, it is still no problem to command a hundred people.

After one day of statistics, there are a total of more than 52000 people who are willing to join the army.

The more than 3000 people who were dismissed were old or sick and disabled.

These people Zhu Zhangui didn't let them go home, but gave them some benefits, and watched the unfinished Forbidden City with some soldiers who stayed behind.

The team was simply mixed up.

As soon as the heavy snow stopped on the third day, Zhu Zhangui took the team that had simply changed their outfits and headed north while training.

As the team went further north, the weather in the north became colder and colder, and the snow became thicker and thicker.

From being able to walk easily at the beginning, to moving forward little by little.

Fortunately, Zhu Zhangui had already prepared for this, and all kinds of items to keep out the cold were fully prepared.

The new workers did not complain, but were very happy.

In their words.

This kind of day is simply enjoyed by the gods.

I eat enough to be full every day, and I still have a meal of meat a day.He was wearing a warm overcoat and a tightly covered hat on his head.

I have never lived this kind of life in eight lifetimes. What is the point of walking in the snow and training every day.

This made Zhu Zhangui feel that the people of the Han family were the easiest to satisfy.

The army started from Shuntian Mansion, crossed the Great Wall defense line of Shuntian Mansion, and went straight to Zuo Tunwei.

Zhu Zhangui and his party walked for more than ten days during this short distance of several hundred miles.

When he got there, Li Hu's navy hadn't arrived yet.

Looking at the sea covered with thick ice, Zhu Zhangui smiled wryly.

After staying in the warm weather of the Three Kingdoms for several years, I forgot that the sea in the northern part of Daming would freeze in winter.

It seemed that Li Hu couldn't keep up.

Zhu Zhangui shook his head helplessly, and stayed in Zuo Tunwei for a few days. After the sled was made, he went directly to the white and snow-covered northeast.

His goal is Lake Bell.

After his and the old man's judgment, it is very likely that Alutai will enter Daming territory from the Yinma River.

It is estimated that the northern grassland is now covered with heavy snow, and it is impossible for Alutai to arrive so quickly.

Zhu Zhangui will rush there first, wait for the old fox to arrive, and then give him a big surprise.

Jinling, the imperial palace.

When Zhu Zhangui set off to the north, Jin Yiwei received his order and entertained the moths with the most enthusiastic set meals.

Satisfied, these people named many names, and hoped that these people would come and enjoy with them.

After all, blessings are shared.

I'm enjoying it here, I can't let you guys suffer from wives and concubines' food at home, it's so unfair to you.

"There are really so many people?"

In the Imperial Palace Shang's study.

Zhu Pangpang looked at the large list of names in his hand, and his scalp felt a little numb.

Standing below Ji Gang, clasped his fists and replied.

"Your Highness, these are the people they confessed to, and most of them also told the process of reaching out."

"The rest are other things they said. Although they have nothing to do with this case, they are still a bunch of moths!"

Zhu Pangpang sighed.

I was worried for a while.

I have supervised the country for so many years, why haven't I found so many moths?

If the old man finds out about this, it will probably be another scolding.

Fortunately, my son found out about it, if the old man could find out by himself.

Think of that result.

Zhu Pangpang couldn't help but shuddered.

Reaching out to pick up the ink pen, Zhu Pangpang gritted his teeth and drew a cross on it.

This is the first time since he supervised the country, he ordered the arrest of so many people, and there are many important court officials.

The Hubu side was even more of an outbreak zone, and the two Hubu servants were directly taken over by one pot.

There are more than 30 officials under the household department.

Mother comes.

There were only a few people in the household department, and more than 30 people were arrested at once. Xia Yuanji probably cried.

After collecting the list that Zhu Pangpang handed over, Ji Gang hesitated, and whispered to Zhu Pangpang.

"What about Xia Shangshu? Do you want to arrest him too?"

Zhu Pangpang frowned, feeling an inexplicable pain in his heart.

"Did he reach out too!"

For Xia Yuanji, Zhu Pangpang attaches great importance to it just like the old man.Moreover, his own son also attached great importance to Xia Yuanji. He had told him more than once that as long as Xia Yuanji was still alive, he would be able to serve as an official of the household department until he died.

This shows how much his son appreciates Xia Yuanji.

If Xia Yuanji had reached out after finding out this time, with the character of the old man, he would probably kill Ma Su with tears.

Seeing that Zhu Pangpang misunderstood, Ji Gang quickly shook his head.

"Master Xia didn't reach out, but one of his concubines received a lot of presents during his absence."

"According to our estimates, no less than 5 taels of silver!"

"Considering the emperor, you and your grandson attach great importance to Xia Shangshu, I didn't write my name on it, so the people below also silenced it."

As he spoke, he took out a confession from his bosom and placed it in front of Zhu Pangpang.

Looking at the bloody handprints and what was written on it, Zhu Pangpang heaved a sigh of relief.

The above did not clearly point out that Xia Yuanji's concubine accepted the gift, but Xia Yuanji acquiesced.

And the time to receive the gifts was during the time when Xia Yuanji went to sea with the old man and his son.

But then Zhu Pangpang was a little embarrassed.

According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, if the family members of an official accept bribes, even if the official does not know about it, the official will be punished as a fee.

Moreover, none of the convicted officials pleaded not guilty.

Jin Yiwei is not a decoration, except for the real tough guys, even if they are innocent after entering, they can say something.

"Let this thing go to me first. When you go to arrest people, call Xia Yuanji over!"

"Yes!"

Ji Gang obeyed, turned and walked out of the palace, and waved to hundreds of Jinyi guards waiting outside the palace.

In an instant, hundreds of Jinyiwei on standby, led by hundreds of households, rushed to the various yamen in Jinling.

The yamen servants on duty at each yamen didn't dare to stop them when they saw Jin Yiwei, and hid aside tremblingly.

The officials who were working in various yamen were stunned when they saw the Jin Yiwei rushing in.

Some people noticed Jin Yiwei's cold expression, and their hearts skipped a beat, with a bad premonition.

Then their hunch was confirmed.

The leader Jin Yiwei took out a list, confirmed his identity, and waved his hand directly to order the arrest.

"What are you doing, is this a place for you to be presumptuous..."

"I'm wronged, don't arrest me, I'm really wronged..."

The captured officials struggled desperately, shouting that they were wronged.

If you don't cry out for injustice at this time, you won't have the chance to cry out when you arrive at Jinyiwei.

Seeing from their past relationships, the colleagues around them might help them, but when they arrived at the Jinyiwei yamen, they shouted the more excited the Jinyiwei who were executing the execution.

Ji Gang from the household department came in person.

As soon as Ji Gang entered the door, Xia Yuanji received the news from behind.

Xia Yuanji, who was busy with logistics in the north, knew that there would be no good for the Commander Jin Yiwei to come over, so he quickly put down his work and greeted him.

"Brother Ji, this is..."

Since the two parties are regarded as a camp that often meet, they usually do not address each other as adults, but as brothers.

Ji Gang asked his subordinates to wait by the side first, then took Xia Yuanji by the hand and walked aside.

"Brother, don't ask other questions, you go to the prince first and settle your own affairs."

"You were very dangerous just now. If His Royal Highness had not expected to write a letter to intercede for you, I would have stopped the matter. I'm afraid you would not be able to protect yourself!"

Xia Yuanji's heart skipped a beat, and he cupped his hands at Ji Gang, without asking anything, and walked away as fast as a palace.

After Xia Yuanji left, the smile on Ji Gang's face disappeared in an instant.

Looking at the household official who stared at him flusteredly, Ji Gang waved his hand and shouted coldly.

"Arrest people, anyone who dares to resist, kill without mercy!"
