I am the king of the dead

Chapter 51 I have an idea

Zhu Qiyu exhaled forcefully and asked in a low voice, "Yu Shangshu, is there a way?"

"The night raid is the most chaotic. The emperor is in the battle, and I'm afraid there will be something wrong. If all of them are suppressed, there will be large-scale riots." Yu Qian looked at the Oira people camp outside the Xibianmen with emotion.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "Then do it, the four gates will attack together, this is a fighter, and it is fleeting, I thought I don't need to worry about the emperor."

"The Emperor Taishang is the emperor of my Ming Dynasty. If he knew that there was a chance to defeat the Oara people, he would definitely agree."

Zhu Qiyu has made a reasonable explanation for Zhu Qizhen. As for whether Zhu Qizhen agrees or not, it doesn't matter.

Yu Qian shook his head helplessly and said: "The Emperor Taishang is in the formation, and a large-scale night attack is likely to cause great riots. In fact, what the minister considers is not what the Emperor Taishang thinks."

"It's to make me, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, cast the rat, not the ministers and others who are unwilling. It's really impossible."

"You can only send a small group of harassers to exhaust the enemy."

Zhu Qiyu exhaled forcefully: "I understand."

He can ignore Zhu Qizhen, Yu Qian can ignore Zhu Qizhen, but what about Yu Qian's generals?What about the ordinary sergeant under Yu Qian?
That is the former emperor, who has been the emperor for 14 years, and for the sergeant, that is the man who has been the father of the emperor for 14 years.

The four words "to avoid the rat" are what Yu Qian is most worried about right now.

The night attack was a sneak attack. The Oara people hung Zhu Qizhen on a pole and asked the Ming army to cease fire.What about the army?
The sneak attack turned into a head-to-head battle, what should we do?
What if Daming is defeated at the doorstep of his home?
Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "Then a small amount of harassment will exhaust the enemy."

"The minister leads the order." Yu Qian stood up straight, of course he could see the unwillingness in Zhu Qiyu's heart, obviously because of the great opportunity to win, but because Zhu Qizhen was alone, he couldn't do it.

"There are two prisoners captured by Your Majesty. One is named Yang Shan. This person is the left servant of the Ministry of Rites. He was lucky to escape with the army. Originally, he was an old minister of Emperor Taizong Wen Jingnan."

"One person is named Li Xian, who was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Xuande. He was originally a minister of the Ministry of Personnel Examination, and he was sent from the north, but his teacher escaped."

Li Xian?The name is somewhat familiar.

"The two of them had similar experiences, and they were captured by the Owara people, so they had to hide their names and pretend to be stupid among the people. Today, they survived outside Zhangyi Gate."

Yang Shan is an old minister of Yongle. This Li Xian also seems to have a name in history.

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said, "Go to the Imperial College to be a shogun first, and wait until there are vacancies."

One radish and one pit, their official positions have been occupied by others, no matter how talented they are, they can only wait.

"Li Xian is quite talented, and this minister thought he was a useful person." Yu Qian breathed a sigh of relief. He was actually very worried. It was not easy for the two of them to survive the battle of Tumu Fort. For more than a month, they were lingering in the hands of the Owara people. Just returned to Daming.

As far as Yu Qian knows, as long as they are willing, they can choose to reveal their identities and join the Oara people, and the Oara people will not treat them badly.

From the third year of Hongwu to the Northern Expedition in the last year of Yongle, and the containment of the two dynasties of Renxuan, in fact, only Xungui among the Owara people had read books, and the others did not know a single character.

The Oara people urgently need talents, such as Yang Hanying, who changed his name to Saiin Buhua, is a typical example.

These captives did not live well with the Owara people. Zhu Qizhen could eat one sheep every three days and one cow every five days, because the empress dowager Sun sent a gift in exchange for it.

These civilian captives are not treated so well.

"What are these prisoners going to do?" Zhu Qiyu asked curiously, looking at the prisoners bound under the city.

Yu Qian said with certainty: "After castration, send it to Xishan to dig coal."

Zhu Qiyu is not a dogmatist. Although preferential treatment of prisoners is a meritorious deed of later generations, the situation in Daming is completely different.

Even the elite horse army before the Ming Dynasty, such as the Tatar horse team, was the cavalry dominated by the Mongolian people.

Tumubao changed suddenly, and the royal family, the courteous Marquis Wu Kezhong and the governor Wu Keqin, who died in the battle of Yaoerling, were the elites of the Ming Dynasty.

They are responsible for "detecting the sound of prisoners" and use them as scouts.

But this group of Owara captives who dared to attack the capital was not the same thing. Since they dared to attack, they would naturally have to bear the punishment of defeat. Mining coal was their best end.

This is war, not a time for women's benevolence.

For example, Zheng He, who made seven voyages to the West, was rumored to be a prisoner of war in Yunnan.

"Hurry up with the knife." This was Zhu Qiyu's last mercy.

Zhu Qiyu turned to look at the sergeants of Daming who were carried back to the houses. Most of them were the corpses of sergeants of Daming. Removing the corpses was the power of the victor. Those who were defeated did not even have the power to clean the battlefield.

Zhu Qiyu suddenly thought of the great defeat of Tumu Fort. What about the corpses of the Daming sergeants?The corpse wilderness, dragged by beasts, or decayed, is full of insects and ants and no one cares.

Zhu he couldn't help fighting a cold war.

"Do these sergeants in Daming have any compensation?" Zhu Qiyu asked another question. The sergeant died for the country, and the post-war compensation was the top priority.

Hearing Zhu Qiyu's question, Yu Qian hurriedly said: "The army who died in battle will pay a stone for the funeral, and give it five years of rehabilitation, and half of those who died in the camp will die."

"The soldier's war wounds will be removed from his rank, and he will be given a three-year restitution. If the general is killed in battle, his son will be hereditary, and one rank will be added."

"Whether it's a death in battle or a death from illness during a war, it's counted as the death of the war. One stone of rice is given for the funeral expenses, and five years' salaries are given as compensation. If it's not during the war, it's only half."

"If you are wounded in battle, in addition to your military status, you will be given three years' pay as compensation. If a general is killed in battle, the direct son will inherit the title of title, and the official will be given a rank."

Yu Qian explained very clearly that Daming's war death pension is also one of the reasons for Daming sergeants to sacrifice their lives in the battle, and they don't have to be too concerned about what happens behind them.

Yu Qian continued: "It is unavoidable to be exhausted in the country, to have virtue in the people, to set up ancestral temples to give foreheads, to build ancestral temples to pay homage to them, and it is inevitable to pay tribute to them every year.

"The yellow-clothed messenger went out of Beijing to the home of the war dead, and in addition to the relief, he ordered the messenger to work at home."

"War injuries will be exempted from the Xiaqiu Second Tax for two years for three years, and if the war is killed, it will be exempted from the tax for five years."

"If the family is relatively special, such as those who have no brothers and parents who are wives, they will be given the full salary. After three years, they will be given a half salary, and they can receive this half salary until the parents' wife's death."

Collecting corpses for official burials, offering sacrifices to mourning and praying for blessings, building ancestral temples, paying funeral expenses, dispatching messengers to condolences, exempting employees from servitude, nurturing children, and giving benefits to survivors are all clearly stipulated in the Ming Dynasty, and those who join the army are aware of it.

"It's practical, if someone dares to fill their own pockets with them, and deal with them in accordance with military law, even if they are nobles and relatives, there are also Jin Yiwei. I can't let my Ming soldiers die and can't sleep peacefully!" Zhu Qiyu's tone was very serious, death is the biggest thing, who will die? Dare to make money, Zhu Qiyu dares to let them go underground and enjoy!
This cannot be compromised. Just like what Yu Qian said, to ensure Daming's combat effectiveness, we must do it ahead. If someone dares to violate these express rules, they must be prepared to pay the price.

"I understand." Yu Qian bowed, and he bowed to the new emperor of Ming Dynasty who came to power.

He actually wanted to persuade Zhu Qiyu not to believe in slander.

Some people feel that it is a waste of money to spend such a long time in caring for a group of idiots. Yu Qian still intends to explain the reason, but it seems that it is unnecessary now.

His Majesty cared more about taking care of the sergeant's affairs than he did.

Zhu Qiyu hesitated and said, "I have an idea, but I'm not very mature."

The young Ming emperor had many ideas.
