Sun Jinding was stunned and his face turned red. He was the second assistant and had been through the ups and downs of the officialdom for a long time. Naturally, he had rich experience in political struggles. As soon as he heard what Ye Shimao said, he immediately understood that what he said was right. He only thought about the emperor's future.
What he thought was that he had forgotten his old rival Guan Shouzhen. Yes, yes, he had been fighting against the old thief Guan for so many years, and the hatred was as deep as the sea. How could he allow him to return to the capital and join the cabinet? All of this must have happened.
The old thief Guan is causing trouble.
What a disgusting old thief! He thinks he comes from a noble family and looks down on officials like himself who are from common people. When he was an official, he embezzled some money and was exiled to Guilin. People before and after this guy said that he was corrupt and insulted the civility and unity.
Some of the dignitaries around the king isolated themselves and gave themselves the nickname "National Worm". Bah! Who doesn't know that you are jealous that the king values me more than you! In these years, you have never been more greedy than me.
Less?
"Well, Mr. Ye's words woke up the dreamer!"
Sun Jinding woke up from his meditation and said leisurely: "I thought about it carefully. This Rakshasa attack happened very strangely. If it doesn't happen sooner, it won't happen later. But just when the Holy Master wanted to transfer me back to the capital, he
This happened. As soon as it happened, the governor of Heilongjiang, Gu Chaojian, hurriedly reported to the court. Before the court's reply came, he sent the generals Liu Yipeng and Wang Xing to attack the Rakshasa camp. Hum, that Gu Chaojian
"Jian is a good friend of the old thief Guan. This time, the court only allocated 300,000 taels of silver. It must have been the culprit of the old thief Guan. He wanted to block the money and food of the army, make the Northern Expedition fail, and order the Holy One to punish me." p>
"The soldiers and horses have not moved yet, but the food and grass go first. This move of Mr. Guan Ge is very poisonous and has seized our lifeblood." It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Ren Yingmei and Ye Shimao both frowned. Politics has always been a loss.
Both will suffer, and both will be prosperous. They have long been tightly tied to Sun Jinding. If Sun Jinding is unlucky, they will not be able to escape.
Sun Jinding smiled, very boldly, with a fluttering white beard, "Didn't Old Thief Guan give me the nickname "Guo Zhi"? Haha, he was right, I have indeed saved some money over the years.
They wanted to choke me on food and salary, but I refused to let them get what they wanted. I was willing to save one million taels of my own money for military pay."
Ren Yingmei and Ye Shimao took a breath of cold air when they heard that Mr. Sun Ge would pay one million taels from his own pocket for military pay. Darling, they all said that Mr. Sun Ge would make money, but unexpectedly he made so much, one million.
Two, I took it out without even blinking! Rich, really rich!
"Lao Ge sacrifices his family for the country, and the subordinates admire him. It is enough to pay only 300,000 taels, but never one million taels," Ye Shimao advised.
Sun Jinding came back to his senses. He was now at the forefront of the storm, and the eyes of his political opponents were all staring at him. One million taels was a huge amount. Once he took it out, wouldn't it be obvious to the world that he was a corrupt official?
The emperor's temperament is clear to him, and he values friendship the most. It doesn't matter if the amount of corruption is small. Hundreds of thousands taels really don't matter. But if the amount of corruption is too much, reaching the scale of millions of taels, he will still take care of it. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Well, thank you Mr. Ye for your advice."
Ren Yingmei also spoke, "Mr. Pavilion, I think you can give an order to encourage officials and people at all levels to donate to the army. Those who donate more than five thousand taels of silver will be awarded a plaque. Then you can take the lead in donating three hundred thousand taels of silver."
For the best.
Sun Jinding understood. Ren Yingmei was reminding herself that donating money must comply with the procedures and not allow political opponents to seize the opportunity. He immediately stroked his beard and praised: "This is a very kind thing!"
"Mr. Pavilion, I thought you could recruit slaves to serve as Hu soldiers in various ministries. These Hu people are brave by nature and are good candidates to be soldiers. Moreover, their military pay is small. They only need to receive a share of the guards' food pay. That's enough."
Sending out a large number of soldiers will save a lot of money."
"What a great idea! I immediately sent an order to the chiefs of Xibo, Daur, Ewenki, Oroqen, Hezhe, Qiler, Feyaka and other tribes, asking them to send troops to help in the battle. Anyone who doesn't follow will be killed!" Sun Jinding laughed loudly and was in good spirits.
, the spirit is flying, as if Mr. Sun, the feather fan and silk scarf who guided the country for thousands of miles, is back again.
??
Sun Jinding is a veteran who followed Emperor Guangwu in the southern and northern campaigns. Although he did not directly command the battles, he has experienced countless major battles, small battles, civil wars, and foreign wars, and he still has combat experience.
He assembled a large number of troops in Hailanpao (Blagoveshchensk), which is close to Heilongjiang and has convenient transportation of supplies. He was not afraid of risks and went to Hailanpao in person to supervise the battle.
As soon as they saw him coming, Sun Guangwei, Ruan Jin, Gu Zhong, Ruan Jun, Fu Lehe, Chen Qice, Liu Yipeng and Wang Xing all came out to greet him.
Among the military generals, only Sun Guangwei, the uncle of Nanling, was the oldest. He was a school captain of the Jingjiang Prince's Palace. He was very familiar with Mr. Sun, the most popular person in the palace at that time. He laughed and said: "The elder is not afraid of danger and comes to the battle in person.
The formation, the soldiers admire it very much. With your blessing, I will surely be able to kill all the Rakshasa ghosts without leaving a trace behind."
Sun Jinding was happy and spat at him, "You boy, after all these years, you still can't change your bad mouth. Danger? Huh, what kind of danger is this? You know that when I followed the Holy Lord to raise troops, we were surrounded by enemies on all sides.
, a single man and a horse dared to go deep into the dragon's pond and tiger's den, and went to Xunzhou to persuade Li Mingzhong to surrender. That time was really dangerous! Now that the soldiers and horses are strong, the ones who are in danger should be the Rakshasa ghosts. We are safe."
Listening to Mr. Sun mentioning the past, Sun Guangwei nodded repeatedly, "The demeanor of the old man who persuaded the Duke of Chang to surrender by riding alone, I still remember it in my heart to this day."
Being scratched, Sun Jinding laughed proudly.
The commander is not afraid of death, and the three armies dare to move forward. Seeing the dignified cabinet scholar Sun Jinding, the governor of Nuergan, personally coming to the front line, he is full of confidence, chatting and laughing, and the generals are all excited. They want to kill the Rakshasa ghost immediately and show their faces in front of the grand scholar Sun.
.
"Okay, let's stop gossiping and follow me into the big tent to discuss the military situation."
As soon as the generals entered the account, Sun Jinding looked at Gu Zhong and asked: "General Gu, I originally wanted you to stay in the six towns in the north to guard against the Koreans. But you decided to come, leaving Ma Siwen alone in the six towns.
If something goes wrong, what should you do?"
The commander-in-chief, Ma Siwen, was a general who surrendered the banner of the Manchu and Han armies. Compared with other generals, his military achievements were not outstanding. Therefore, Sun Jinding was a little worried about him.
Gu Zhong chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Ge. Mr. Ma is a general from Zhenzhen and has rich combat experience. Moreover, the Korean army has been killed by our army and will never dare to start another border provocation!"
Sun Jinding thought for a while and said: "Soldiers, it is important to not be careless. Let me write a letter to King Li Di of North Korea, asking him to mobilize five thousand elites to assist in the battle. After transferring his elites, the six northern
The pressure on the town will be reduced. Let Ma Siwen patrol day and night and strengthen the vigilance. Only in this way can we be impregnable."
