The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

351 show off
Huang Han believes that the place where people are vying to go to has a bright future. In fact, he does not reject clan forces, but only rejects forces that are against him.

The Gao family in Luanzhou is a famous family with four or five Jinshi, and Gao Di is a second-rank senior official who once served as Minister of the Ministry of War and Liaodong Economic Strategy.

By coincidence, Gao Di was not convicted for fleeing Luanzhou with his family when the Houjin army invaded the capital of Daming. He also sent Gao Youmou to find Huang Han and get the head of Jiannu.

After Gao Di's disciples and old officials made a big show, the deeds that Mr. Gao sent his children and grandchildren to organize servants to attack Jian slaves and obtain dozens of real slaves were commended in the imperial court newspaper.

When Emperor Chongzhen was in a hurry to go to the doctor, it was very possible that Gaodi would be reactivated as an official, and he might be the next candidate for the Liaodong Economic Strategy.

The 4000 troops who went north to plunder were rewarded for their meritorious service in the grand scale.

The soldiers who got the least were the unlucky ghosts who didn't get the credit for beheading. They also got 15 taels of snowflake silver. There were very few such people, and most of them were head rewarded. All the cavalry were overjoyed. Everyone cheered: "Tomorrow Victory for the army! Victory for the cavalry!"

The soldiers were very excited. They saw with their own eyes that 300 people jointly formed by the "Red Banner Army", Dongjiang Bing, Shenshuying and Jinyiwei were the executors of the military rewards. .

The collected confiscations were all converted into cash under the supervision of many people, and they were all divided up under the watchful eyes of the public. Officers, even at the level of generals, only received the silver rewards of three ordinary soldiers.

All the cavalry of the Ming army were convinced. Master Huang really followed his words. He really achieved clear rewards and punishments, and he also managed to rule in the sun. Following such a general has a bright future.

The soldiers who came back from the attack were happy, and they showed off everywhere with their white money, which made the infantry brothers in the camp envious, and made the generals of Dongjiang Town who participated in the attack full of black lines.

When the cavalry were reveling, Huang Long personally invited Huang Han to discuss matters. They came to Liu Zhilun's yurt and found that Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as Huang Han sat down, Huang Long complained: "Captain Huang, you have won the hearts of the army by dividing up all the gold and silver treasures you have seized, but you have also chilled the hearts of most generals!

This officer is considered to have three levels of rewards, but now he only got 160 taels of silver. There are a few generals in Dongjiang Town who have not beheaded, so they only got 45 taels of silver, which is less than most ordinary soldiers. Great opinion! "

Fang Zhenghua said: "Our family is indeed a little thoughtless. We should withhold part of the money for the officers. It is really not suitable for the officers to command the rewards with their heads. It should be that all the beheadings of their subordinates belong to the general. .”

Huang Han said with a smile: "Eunuch Fang and Zongbing Huang think what percentage should be withdrawn for the generals?"

Huang Long thought for a while and said: "I think that at least [-]% should be withdrawn for the chief general who may not participate in the charge, and the gains obtained by the general who participated in the charge will be counted separately."

Fang Zhenghua nodded and said, "The ratio is about the same. It's impossible for the chief general to take all [-]% of the reward silver. He also has to distribute it to the other generals to balance it with the Shangguan."

Huang Han said: "Eunuch Fang, Mr. Huang, you should have the accounts of the beheading rewards of the soldiers of each battalion, right?"

Fang Zhenghua said: "Of course, our family has checked the accounts and it should be very accurate."

Huang Han said again: "This official thinks that it is too little to withdraw [-]% of the reward silver and give it to the general for distribution, at least half should be retained.

Mr. Liu wants to ask the court for beheading money for everyone, and he can't do it in vain. He should get 1 taels.The rest does not need to be issued, and will be handed over to the battalion generals for safekeeping as the funds for the next advance payment of military salaries or silver rewards for the imperial court. "

Huang Long was confused by Huang Han's three circlings and two circlings, Liu Zhilun and Fang Zhenghua both understood and laughed out loud.

Liu Zhilun said: "It's not too late. I reported the victory overnight and clarified that morale is especially important at this delicate juncture. The imperial court must not shorten the head reward that should be given."

Huanglong was still in the mist, Li Ruolian gave him a hammer and said: "We used the captured gold and silver treasures to distribute more than 5000 rewards of silver. Could it be that the court will not accept it? Does the court still think about Dongjiang Town, the Red Banner Army and the Gods?" The Shuying and Jinyiwei troops are desperately trying to capture Jinzhouwei?"

Huang Long suddenly realized, pointed at Huang Han and said: "I understand, you have given away the beheaded silver and seized the silver points under the watchful eyes of everyone in order to gain the morale of the army, and then you asked the court for the money to collect the heart, and let everyone Get benefits, wonderful! Wonderful!"

Huang Han said: "How can there be such foresight? It's just because our army has enough money and food. It's difficult for the general to do it. If you just rely on the rations and salaries that have been deducted from the imperial court to lead the soldiers, it's better to go home and take care of the children earlier, so as not to harm the country. The people even killed themselves!
Besides, the food and salaries of the imperial court have to be given out. Instead of giving Liaozhen to build Dalinghe City and raising the Guanning Army, it is better to give it to people like Jizhen and Dongjiang Town who dare to take the initiative to build slaves. "

Liu Zhilun had already forced the court to give the head reward last time, but this time he had to force the court to pay the money again, and he felt somewhat guilty.

He was deeply touched by Huang Han's words, and said: "It's so true, the imperial court will always use some of the rations and salaries for Liao Town for military affairs, in fact, more rations and salaries have gone into the private pockets of civil servants and generals at all levels.

Let's not do it for nothing. If we don't plan for the money and food early, sooner or later we will suffer from the lack of money and food, and the possibility of losing our lives and harming the soldiers is very high. "

Fang Zhenghua said: "Master Liu is right. If we want to pay, we must be worthy of the imperial court and the soldiers who worked hard. Our family will go back immediately and write a secret report to His Majesty, and ask His Majesty to issue military merit rewards in time to boost morale."

Li Ruolian also expressed his opinion: "I will also report to Your Majesty in secret. I will report the achievements during this period, explain the importance of morale, and emphasize that the imperial court must reward and fulfill its promises in time to gain the trust of the soldiers."

Huang Han's proposal was unanimously recognized by the highest level of the Jinzhou front line. Everyone wrote a memorial on the spot to ask for money for the soldiers. Huang Long stared blankly, and finally realized that there was a huge gap between himself, the commander in chief, and Huang Han, the commander in chief. gap.

He secretly rejoiced that he chose to form an alliance with the "Red Banner Army", and decided to maintain this alliance. Following Huang Han's people in Dongjiang Town seems to be able to not only fill their stomachs, but also the prospect of promotion and fortune.

Huanglong returned to the camp in Dongjiang Town and summoned the generals to tell everyone that they would get a lot of rewards soon, and hoped that everyone would go forward bravely and strive for new achievements in the next tough battle.
