Borrow the day to change the day

"The Emperor is here!"

A group of senior generals at the entrance of the temporary school grounds knelt on one knee to welcome the emperor.The infantry soldiers also knelt on one knee back and forth like waves, and greeted them together.

Tall Han generals held pumpkins in their hands, wore iron armor, bows and arrows, and red tasseled iron helmets on their heads. They led the way, entered the temporary school field, and distributed them to the front, back, left, and right sides of the stands.

Emperor Chongzhen was in the middle of the team. He did not sit in a sedan chair, but came on horseback.

He ordered the generals to come directly to the stands after they were flattened. The four generals of Tianwu were located in the four corners of Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen did not sit in his seat, but, accompanied by Sun Chengzong, walked to the front of the stand and looked at the densely packed pawns in front of the stand.

These infantry are all left after the elimination of soldiers, and after the Battle of Gyeonggi, they are all outstanding in terms of body size and mental outlook.

Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied, and ordered: "Pingshen."

Standing side by side at the bottom of the stands was a group of big Han generals who had specially selected loud voices, and when they heard the emperor's order behind them, they shouted in unison: "Pingshen." [

The voice was loud and spread far away.Then I heard "Ping Shen" from other places in the school grounds, and the sound spread from level to level, covering the entire school grounds.

"Long live, long live, long live!" The pawns shouted in unison, shaking all directions, showing extraordinary momentum.

The soldiers who stayed at King Qin's camp also heard the shout and became agitated. They got out of the tents one after another and looked towards the temporary school grounds.

"Brother Hu, this... is it the emperor's personal visit?" One of Hu Hao's younger brothers, Wang Er, asked him in surprise.

"Aren't you talking nonsense!" Hu Hao looked at Wang Er and said impatiently.

He also wondered why all the cavalry were left in the camp.

"Brother Hu, in terms of military exploits, although our cavalry army had one defeat, we also killed a lot of Jian captives. The merit is always greater than the past. The emperor has come in person. Why should we stay in the camp?" Wang Er said. I also knew that the emperor had come, but just like that, I couldn't figure it out even more, and asked out the doubts in my heart.

"You ask me, who do I ask!" Hu Hao replied angrily, and then saw those people patrolling around the camp gate, his eyes lit up, and he immediately continued: "If you want to talk about credit, those people's credit The biggest, didn’t they go to the school grounds too!”

Yebushou who surrounded him followed Hu Hao's gaze and found that Hu Hao was referring to the Minzhuang Army from Daming Mansion.

After seeing that they did not go to the temporary school grounds, the hearts of these cavalrymen were at ease.The Minzhuang army with the most military exploits did not go, there must be a bigger scene waiting for them.The cavalry soldiers guessed in their hearts.

In the temporary school grounds, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the infantry standing with their chests upright, recalled what he saw when he went to the Beijing camp the day before, secretly compared the mental outlook of the soldiers on both sides, and made up his mind to face the audience. Shouted: "Daming's Jingying, the treatment is very generous, it can be said that it is the army with the most generous treatment in the Ming Dynasty."

The generals on the stage and the pawns in the audience couldn't help being taken aback when they heard Emperor Chongzhen's opening remarks.Aren't they talking about meritorious deeds and rewards today? How can they talk about the Beijing camp?

Even though they thought so, no one dared to jump out and question him.

"Why are they given the best treatment? Because they once followed Taizu to fight in the north and south, expelled the Tartars and restored China, and made great military exploits. They also followed Chengzu six times out of Mobei, and the Tartars trembled and bowed their heads as ministers. Therefore, they are worthy of the most generous treatment in the Ming army."

"But now? Jianlu ravaged the capital and attacked the capital. When I needed the capital most, how did the capital do it? Standing on the wall and trembling, let Jianlu show off his power outside the city, panicked and injured My own coach. Where is the glory of the Beijing Camp back then?" [

When Emperor Chongzhen said this, his tone was quite serious.

The team of big Han generals conveyed his emotions according to the ups and downs of Emperor Chongzhen's tone, so the word "where is" roared out, and the sound shook the whole field.

"You guys won the battle of Gyeonggi, killed the corpses of the Jian prisoners, and piled up the Meridian Gate. I saw it all. I thought that there was only such a brave army with such a record. Only the army can reproduce the glory of the Beijing camp."

"Therefore, I want to rebuild the Beijing camp. I want the bravest soldiers to enter the Beijing camp and enjoy the best treatment."

The general soldiers on both sides of the stage heard this, and realized that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to transfer the frontier army to serve as the Beijing camp. They couldn't help guessing in their hearts, wondering which frontier army the emperor would transfer to serve as the new Beijing camp.

If I am lucky enough to be transferred to the Beijing camp, I will definitely not be as arrogant and domineering as Jiang Bin was during the Zhengde period, and it is not a problem to be a man of glory and wealth.

Thinking of this, the hearts of the general soldiers began to warm up.

When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he also stopped and glanced at the pawns under the stage to see their reactions.

Seeing the yearning look in the eyes of each of the infantry, he couldn't help but secretly nodded in his heart, and then continued: "Those who have made outstanding achievements in the battle of Gyeonggi this time will be elected as soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion of the Beijing Battalion. Nine Thoughts Treasure Banknote."

When the general soldiers heard this, they all looked at each other in blank dismay. What kind of trick is the emperor playing? Didn't he transfer the frontier army to fill the Beijing camp, but just transferred the infantry into the Beijing camp?

"Daming Jiusibao banknote is a kind of paper banknote, which is different from the previous Daming Tongxingbao banknote. Jiusibao banknote can be exchanged with silver at the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty. It was issued by the imperial court to facilitate the inconvenience of returning the money. banknotes. If one day, banknotes and silver cannot be exchanged one by one, you will come to the capital to sue the imperial court, and I will decide for you."

The idea of ​​taking advantage of the opportunity to sell banknotes was thought up by Emperor Chongzhen himself. He was inspired by Zhong Jinwei's sales of discounted banknotes in state-owned enterprises.

Now he has made a credit guarantee for the paper money in front of hundreds of thousands of pawns, which is also an endorsement.Once the emperor's golden mouth opened, how could it be fake? Most pawns would think so.

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen didn't think about cheating, he had already prepared the reward, but the reward was deposited in the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty, and he took paper money to distribute.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he turned to the generals on both sides and said, "You have made great contributions, and you will be rewarded after the imperial court discusses the regulations."

"I don't dare to wait." The generals from all walks of life replied habitually.

Emperor Chongzhen ignored them, and said to Sun Chengzong: "Master Sun, I will leave this place to you."

"I obey." Sun Chengzong replied with a slight bow.

"Holy ride back to the palace." The servants on the side sang, and then Emperor Chongzhen returned to the palace amidst everyone's "Send the holy car off".

As soon as the emperor left, the highest status was Sun Chengzong, a scholar of the Dongge University and Minister of the Ministry of War.

He said to the generals standing on both sides: "Sit down, everyone."

The mood of most of the generals fell from overjoyed to depressed, and they sat back to their seats listlessly, thinking to themselves not to recruit too many of their subordinates, these are all elites!

After sitting down, Cao Minglei, the chief soldier of Baoding, couldn't help but said to Sun Chengzong: "This soldier, the last general has only a few people under his command. You can skip the part of the last general and forget it."

When the other general soldiers heard this, they all wanted to follow suit, but they saw Sun Chengzong raised his palm to stop them from speaking, and then said: "The emperor Jinkou just promised to the soldiers that they will be elected to the Beijing camp with outstanding military achievements. Military achievements are all confirmed by you. For the emperor, the candidates have been confirmed according to their rankings, do you want the emperor to lose his trust in front of hundreds of thousands of troops?"

After a big hat was put on, the generals of the various ministries did not dare to raise any objections, so they could only hope in their hearts that other generals would repay more military exploits than themselves.

Sun Chengzong called for his personal guards, took out the roster, and ordered the selection of infantry to begin.

The infantry watched nervously as the white pole army followed the roll call of Sun Chengzong's personal guards, and then walked to the corresponding position to call out those who were called, and left the entrance of the school grounds.

Most of the infantry who were called went out with their heads held high, without a glance from their own soldiers in the stands.

Let you deduct the military salary, but now you can't deduct it.When you arrive at the Beijing camp, even if you deduct some military pay, it will be more than when you were in the frontier army!

When they left the entrance of the school grounds, they were led to a row of book offices to register their names, positions, where they lived, and how many members of their immediate family they had.

After they registered, they were ordered to go to the original camp to pack their luggage, and a limited amount of time was given to report to another place.

The whole process was carefully planned in advance, so even though it involved hundreds of thousands of people, it went on in an orderly manner.

The flow of people was like thousands of trickles, converging from the temporary school grounds to the entrance of the school grounds, forming a small river towards Qin Wangjun's camp, and after reaching the gate of the camp, it turned into thousands of trickles again, disappearing into the camp.

Then it flowed out from the camps and was gathered to the open space outside the camp gate near the gate of the capital, where Jin Yiwei assembled the team.

Quite a few of the cavalry of King Qin's army pulled the infantry back to the camp to ask about the situation, and they were all envious.

The Beijing camp and the frontier army, whoever chooses, will choose the Beijing camp without hesitation.

While they were envious of being selected as the infantry of the Fifth Army Battalion, they were also secretly looking forward to it, would the cavalry also have this opportunity?

About [-] people were selected into the Beijing camp, and the roll call ended.

The rest of the pawns were a little disappointed, and many people shouted, so whoever did not have more credit than himself, why did he choose him but not himself.

For these people, the White Pole Cavalry has been on guard for a long time. Whenever there is a sign, they will warn them directly.No matter how loudly you violate military discipline, if your merits and demerits are offset, then you don't want to be rewarded.

Sun Chengzong saw that the selection of soldiers was over, so he ordered his guards to serve tea. He drank tea and chatted with the generals on the stage, and prevented them from asking the soldiers about rewarding silver.

There are many exits on the side of the entrance of the school grounds, and then the infantry go out to receive rewards according to the system.

Now it is no different than before, the most time-consuming thing is to find people on the list, press fingerprints, and distribute the money, but it can be done in minutes.

The infantry returned to the camp while admiring the exquisite banknotes with the fragrance of ink.

As soon as I got this banknote, I felt that it was different from the previous Daming Tongxing treasure banknote. The court had put their minds to it, and the emperor’s golden mouth and imperial words were in advance, so only a small number of pawns thought about turning around and went to exchange it. Silver came back.

Sun Chengzong didn't let all the generals go back until all the infantry had received the silver rewards and returned to the camp.

Watching these generals go away, Sun Chengzong turned his head to Qin Liangyu who was still standing behind him and said: "You have worked hard today, and tomorrow you have to transfer people to the Beijing camp to reorganize the [-] battalion. Let's go back and discuss it. "

"The general obeys orders." Qin Liangyu replied loudly, without a trace of complaint in his heart.Obviously, the emperor trusted himself more, so he arranged this way.
