Chapter 215 I will take a step first and you will come later
Since His Majesty seems to have the idea of abolishing the death penalty, Gu Dayong doesn't kill many people anymore, but living is the greatest pain in life, isn't it?
It is not terrible to die in the hands of Dongchang. What is terrible is not letting you die. Guda has made great efforts to build Dongchang. The department with the best treatment is not the torture team or the intelligence team, but the medical team.
If you fall into their hands, it will be very difficult for you to die. Even if you die, you will suffer tremendous pain. In just one year, Gu Dayong has no problem in stopping the child's crying in the capital.
But he is still good to his subordinates. As long as you obey the rules and do things well, money is the most basic thing. Zhu Houcong gave Dongchang a lot of funds. Gu Da didn't need to make money. Didn't all the money go to the people below? So welfare
The remuneration and other benefits are excellent, and even if a family member is sick, they will be given a consultation fee, and if the internal medical department is not busy, they can also take people to see a doctor.
Therefore, although Gu Dayong's reputation is not very good, he is still very popular in Dongchang. After all, such a leader is not easy to find. However, the few eunuchs under Zhu Houcong really don't particularly like money.
There is no such thing as money, but as a public official, it is useless to have too much. Zhu Houcong has not been able to take care of it now. He will start to set up an anti-corruption bureau later. There may be no way to eliminate it from the source, but in my case
If you are greedy if you are given higher wages and benefits, then no one can blame you.
We must make them afraid under heavy fines, and make them afraid to spend money if they are greedy. This is what Zhu Houcong wants to do. All of this needs to be done slowly. Those who are in contact with Zhu Houcong all know His Majesty's character, so they do not
It is necessary to be greedy. All the expenses are readily available in the palace, and His Majesty is very knowledgeable. Who can do any small tricks under His Majesty's nose?
Gu Dayong's team did not slow down, but began to change direction and take a detour.
Gu Dayong didn't quite understand why His Majesty assigned him a spear team of a thousand people. They were just members of the Kong family, and they were all scholars. They could rebel against heaven.
However, he did not relax his vigilance. Since His Majesty gave people, he must not make any mistakes. His Majesty gave so many people, which means that so many people are needed. He must not take it lightly. If things go wrong because of his negligence, he
I don’t even know what face I have to meet His Majesty.
The setting sun is like blood, and blood will soon be scattered in the sky. Of course, His Majesty's purpose is to kill people first and kill the heart first, but this kind of soft knife is much scarier than a steel knife.
Qi Jingtong on the other side also received the news. He felt very proud and proud these days. All the previous frustrations were swept away at this moment. If the grassland hadn't been too big, he could have swept across it.
The war here is almost over, and the surrender letter over there has been sent over. All that's left is to organize the army and prepare to return to the court. This battle was fought comfortably. The most important thing is that he did not live up to His Majesty's expectations. If he fought
It would be embarrassing to lose.
Now that the war is over, he has finally let go of his worries. The result is good. After he goes back, he can slap some people hard in the face. His Majesty's life will also be easier. The most important thing is that he can make people happy.
Some people shut up, His Majesty's money was not wasted.
And of course I have to ask for credit. For such a great victory, I have to ask His Majesty for credit for anything. There is also the issue of military merit. It is indeed being calculated now, but it is hard to say the specific regulations. There is no
The exact news came out.
He knew that His Majesty was busy there, but as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he also had to consider the soldiers under his command. This had been spread for a long time, but the regulations had not been worked out, so he had to urge them no matter what.
"General, what should we do with those prisoners? Release them or whatever. Keeping them is a waste of food."
"What else can we do? His Majesty has already told us that a big city will be built here. All those people will be brought in to work. How can we leave them idle? As for compensation or something, we have to go back and discuss it. We have to take a look.
Their sincerity is gone." Qi Jingtong slapped the table and put away all the human resources. It's just rice, so he made do with some wheat bran.
Your Majesty said that when you start working, you will not only be given food, but also a basic salary until you pay off the debt to redeem yourself. You can still make a fortune when you are not allowed to pay it back. Of course, if you are lazy, you will not
If you work hard, there are plenty of ways to punish you.
As for now, there should be no problem with those who helped transport stones for redemption during the war. After all, they are still prisoners and their status has not changed yet.
If you ask him, His Majesty is too kind. He also pays the prisoners for working, which is something he dare not even think about. But how to put it, everything has two sides. At least they work harder, and giving them a little benefit will also reduce their benefits.
Resistance, His Majesty said something very good, population is a resource, you have to learn how to use resources instead of letting them drain away.
"That's right, those brats have stopped shouting now. Look at how ruthless they were at the beginning. I thought they were so cruel. But in the end, they were so vulnerable that I feel relieved after being taught a lesson. Now one by one
Very honest." The adjutant couldn't help but say a few words beside him, and he said this with his head held high.
Indeed, they were the type who were beaten under pressure before, but now they not only won the battle, but also won a great victory. The depression in their hearts suddenly relieved a lot, and the soldiers also raised their heads with pride and dignity.
This feeling is something that the new recruits cannot feel. They were really frustrated before, but now they are better. Ming Dynasty has truly become stronger.
"Don't be arrogant. You can be proud but not complacent. If it weren't for the new weapons provided by His Majesty, how could we have fought so easily? Of course, the soldiers are also very brave, but you must remember that the victory in the battle depends on His Majesty's glory.
, without His Majesty’s light shining, we would not be able to achieve such achievements, you must know how to be grateful."
When Qi Jingtong heard this, he naturally wanted to suppress their arrogance. He still understood the principle that arrogant soldiers must be defeated, but after all, they had just won a battle, and they still deserved awards. After all, the soldiers had been nervous for such a long time.
"Yes, yes, of course we rely on the emperor's grace. If it weren't for His Majesty, how would we be able to eat meat every meal? This is simply an unimaginable life." The adjutant hurriedly laughed with him, but what he said was also true.
, no matter what period of time you serve as a soldier, you don’t get this kind of treatment.
No one in their village went to recruit soldiers at the beginning, so he still drew lots. Now it's better. For the second recruitment, everyone who came was drawn by lot. If the news of the recruitment was released now, it wouldn't be overwhelming. He
He has become the envy of everyone.
"You just know how to eat. You can't think of anything else except eating. After this big victory, I plan to give everyone a family leave in batches. However, the number of places is limited. I have to think about how to give it. If you have any ideas, please
You have to be prepared, but it’s hard to say in what way.”
After a big victory, Qi Jingtong wanted to take a short break to let everyone relax, but the training in the military camp must not be left behind. How to let it go is a problem, and how many days is also a problem.
"Thank you, General. General, tell me how your Majesty made all those gadgets. That fire blunderbuss is so powerful, and there are also things that fly in the sky. How did you do that?" The young adjutant was a little curious.
He belonged to Qi Jingtong's personal soldiers. He had not yet come into contact with such things, but those gadgets were really novel. As soon as the cannonballs fell, the cavalry on the opposite side were stunned, and a big hole appeared.
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, you know?" Qi Jingtong glanced at him. This kind of thing is an absolute secret. He is not stupid. Can he talk about this kind of thing?
"I know, I know."
"Is there anything else? Get out of here and let the troops clean up the battlefield and prepare to return to the court." In fact, some things here have not been dealt with, but the domestic situation is not a problem. He plans to go back early. If the Tatars
If you still dare to make a scene, I'll give you another beating.
"General, brothers asked me to ask how military merit is calculated." The young adjutant shrank his neck, but he still had the courage to ask.
In fact, this is what everyone is most concerned about, after all, it is related to their own interests.
Although they are very satisfied without this, His Majesty has said that there is such a thing, so of course everyone pays attention to it. Everyone is working hard to win a bright future for themselves.
The main reason is that now that the battle is over, there is still no movement at all, which inevitably makes people a little worried.
"Why are you anxious? Aren't you all anxious about military achievements? This thing is of great importance, so it is natural to consider it carefully. It would be better not to implement it. Once implemented, it must be foolproof to avoid too many mistakes in the process. You know, this
It’s you who lose.”
Qi Jingtong was not surprised that they would ask such a question. After all, the battle was over and it was time to give rewards based on merit, and military merit was naturally the issue that everyone paid most attention to. They were not afraid of death, but those who were afraid of death were worthless.
But it’s hard for him to say. His Majesty naturally has his considerations. As for letting go of pigeons, it shouldn’t be a problem. Your Majesty is not short of the money. The main reason is that this system is not easy to handle. He is also anxious, but he has to wait for him to return.
Only then can I talk to His Majesty. There is no point in worrying now.
"Oh..." The little adjutant was a little disappointed.
Qi Jingtong wanted to say a few words of comfort, but his men came to retaliate.
"General, urgent message from the palace."
"What can happen at this time?" Qi Jingtong took the envelope with some doubts. After all, it's this time, what can happen.
The words on the letter were very short, 'I am afraid there will be a big change in Beijing, please come home soon.'
Lu Fang didn't say anything else. The top priority now is to call Qi Jingtong back first. After the army comes back, everyone will feel more confident, otherwise they will always feel guilty, especially when His Majesty is not around.
Qi Jingtong was smiling playfully just now, but his expression changed immediately after seeing it. This was no joke. The battle report he sent back just said that he was almost finished. The battle report of the victory had not been sent out yet, but such news came from the palace.
, indicating that it was indeed urgent, so urgent that he did not care whether his side had finished fighting or not and had to recall the troops in time.
Qi Jingtong didn't dare to think about anything. It must be a big deal at this time. Let alone the fight, he had to go back even if he was still fighting, let alone the fight.
Seeing the general's expression change, everyone's expressions became serious. Could it be that His Majesty has any instructions?
"Send the order and leave the Second Army to clean the battlefield. Everyone else will come back with me immediately. It's extremely urgent." Qi Jingtong couldn't care about anything else. His first reaction was that something happened to His Majesty. Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this. Once something happens to Your Majesty,
, it’s useless no matter how well he fought in front, you know, His Majesty has no heirs.
With no successor, if something happens to His Majesty, who will inherit the throne? They will all be liquidated by then, and only Your Majesty will be the backbone of this ship.
"No." Everyone said in unison, and no one asked why. The most basic requirement is to enforce orders and prohibitions. If they can't do this, then they can't be called aces.
Qi Jingtong looked in the direction of the capital, his eyes full of worry. It would take time for the army to leave, and it would also take time for him to rush back. So what happened in the capital made him feel very panicked.
The execution ability of Qi Jingtong's army is very strong. Under the three-three system, when receiving orders from superiors, they can quickly convey instructions, and then lower-level officials can also quickly execute the orders, but no matter how fast it is, it still takes time. They can't go all the way.
Bring nothing, at least some dry food, otherwise the army will starve to death before returning to the capital.
After a night of running around, Zhu Houcong was actually not far from his destination. He didn't sense Gu Da's aura along the way. Either they had already arrived or they were left behind. The possibility of the former was higher.
, the calculation time should be about the same.
But Zhu Houcong always had a bad feeling. He was very confident in his intuition. Something must have happened or was going to happen, and it was related to what he was doing.
The more Zhu Houcong thought about it, the more something was wrong. Could it be that Gu Dayong had already taken action? It shouldn't be. I didn't feel it.
After a day of traveling, Zhu Houcong was not tired enough, but Huang Jin was tired. Oh my God, it was really terrible. His internal strength was slow to recover at night. It was fine at the beginning, but later on his internal strength was simply not enough. Your Majesty
It bounced around a lot, but he got used to it after vomiting.
"Master, rest for a while, I'll go find you some food." Huang Jin wiped the remaining stains on his mouth. Your Majesty should be recovering his internal strength at this time. He went to get some food, and he seemed to have seen someone just now.
It shouldn't be difficult to buy something to eat.
"No, the situation is very wrong. What are you so worried about?" The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became. I felt that the situation was very bad, but it shouldn't be.
"Master?" Huang Jin was a little confused. What was your Majesty doing there while he was talking to himself?
"No, I'll take a step first and you can follow me. Something must have happened." After saying this, Zhu Houcong walked away in a flash, leaving Huang Jin alone and messy in the wind.
