Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 188 Bonuses
  "Thank you both gentlemen!"

Zhu Xuan did not express his position and still did not agree to anything. He said politely: "I have other things to do next, so I won't bother you two gentlemen."

After saying this, he took Hou Xian with him and walked to the palace gate.

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng were very puzzled.

"Why doesn't the little emperor agree to our support?" Huang Zicheng didn't understand.

Qi Tai also didn't understand very well. He thought for a while and said, "Does the little emperor grandson not want our support?"

Just when they were thinking this, Zhu Xuan came outside the palace gate and first went to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion to get the post-war rewards for the thousand Shenji Battalion soldiers and send them to the camp outside the factory.

Annan's reward for this battle was won by Zhu Xuan for the soldiers after he came back.

Rewarding for merit is the most basic behavior.

Only in this way can discipline in the army be maintained, military morale stabilized, and soldiers motivated, so that they can be at the forefront during war.

After the tax and salt reform, the Ming Dynasty became rich and the treasury was strong. It was no problem for Zhu Yuanzhang to give some rewards to the soldiers. Especially this group of thousands of recruits played a great role on the battlefield and deserved a reward. .

What's more, Zhu Xuan applied for it, and Zhu Yuanzhang must be rewarded.

"Your Highness!"

Returning to the military camp next to the factory, Zhu Xuan saw the soldiers standing guard and saluted him respectfully.

Zhu Xuan said: "Without courtesy, go tell Li Niu and Wang Er to gather everyone and wait for me on the school grounds."

"Yes!"

The soldier ran back.

After a while, the remaining 756 Shenji Battalion gunners gathered on the school field. After the battle, more than 200 of them were killed.

The soldiers stood up straight, like gun barrels, and very neatly. The military formation was very pleasing to the eye.

"I came to the camp today for two things."

"The first thing is, I will replenish your group of gunmen to a thousand people. I will go to the capital camp later and select more than two hundred new recruits. Li Niu and Wang Er, you will help me train them."

Zhu Xuan was full of trust and confidence in these two subordinates.

"Yes!"

The two of them responded in unison.

Zhu Xuan added: "The second thing is to reward based on merit. After I came back, I applied to Grandpa Huang and prepared a bonus to reward you. On the battlefield of Annan, you played a great role, and also For meritorious service, ordinary soldiers can be rewarded fifty taels each."

As soon as these words were spoken, a hint of joy appeared in the eyes of the soldiers present.

There was a bit of excitement on their expressions.

That was fifty taels of silver. Many soldiers from poor families had never seen so much money in their lives of more than ten or twenty years.

Only they can get such a rich reward, and it was Zhu Xuan who fought for it. Other troops cannot have it.

Their discipline was very good again. Although they were ecstatic, it was only expressed in their expressions and eyes. The team was not disordered at all and stood neatly on the spot.

Seeing them like this, Zhu Xuan was very satisfied. He remembered that this group of soldiers made a fuss in order to grab a bite of meat.

"As for Li Niu and Wang Er's meritorious service in leading the army, each of them is worth one hundred and fifty taels. I will reward you with an additional fifty taels, for a total of two hundred taels."

Zhu Xuan continued.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Li Niu and Wang Er spoke first.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The other soldiers saw him and thanked him in unison.

Zhu Xuan waved his hand back and said: "Send all the bonuses here, and you can receive them in an orderly manner. In addition, your military pay will be given as usual, and it will not conflict with the bonuses."

They thanked each other again, lined up neatly to receive the award, and continued to keep the team in order.

After everyone received their share of the bonus, there were still tens of thousands of taels of silver in the box.

"These are also the pensions I paid for all the families of the fallen soldiers. Wang Er, please find out their hometowns, sort them out, and then arrange for people to send them over." Zhu Xuan added.

They lost more than two hundred people.

After a brief analysis, there was at least twenty-four to five thousand taels of silver in the box. In other words, for a soldier who died in battle, his family could receive at least one hundred taels of pension. Zhu Xuan paid for it out of his own pocket and gave it to the families of the fallen soldiers.

Soldiers died in battle, and the court also had money, but not nearly as much, and it was even less likely that there would be a leading general who was willing to contribute his own money as a pension.

"Your Highness is righteous!"

Li Niu said excitedly.

everyone else, chanted simultaneously.

Their eyes were all red and they were so moved that they wanted to cry.

If you go to fight with your highness, even if you die in battle, it will be worth it.

His Highness will not treat them badly!

"You can arrange the pension matters!"

After Zhu Xuan finished speaking, he handed all the remaining money to Li Niu and Li Niu.

Seeing His Highness trusting them so much, Li Niu and his two men's eyes turned red. With so much money, it would be impossible for other generals to put it in the camp like this. Your Highness can do it.

"Let's go to Jingying."

Zhu Xuan said after leaving the factory.

Jingying is not very far from the factory, so we arrived quickly.

But as soon as he entered, he happened to see Li Jinglong training troops and said with a smile: "Big cousin!"

Li Jinglong said with great joy: "My cousin is back."

Everyone in the court basically knew that Zhu Xuan was his student.

Zhu Xuan only learned the art of war from him.

Attacking Annan, capturing Srivijaya, and opening up overseas territories shocked the government and the public. As the person who taught Zhu Xuan the art of war, Li Jinglong's reputation rose accordingly, and his reputation in the military became higher and higher.

Just yesterday, His Majesty had people send him many rewards.

This made the Li family excited all day long.

These were all brought to him by Zhu Xuan.

Early this morning, Li Jinglong returned to the military camp to shine and lead his troops in training so that he could demonstrate his solid knowledge of the art of war and continue to enjoy the popularity.

Seeing Zhu Xuan coming, Li Jinglong couldn't tell how excited he was. If there weren't many people watching, he wouldn't be able to help but hug Zhu Xuan and kiss him twice.

Thanks to my little cousin, I turned myself into the real God of War of the Ming Dynasty.

"My cousin finally has time to come see me."

Li Jinglong hugged Zhu Xuan for a while and laughed excitedly.

Zhu Xuan said: "If it weren't for my cousin, I wouldn't be able to expand the territory. Part of my credit belongs to my cousin."

Li Jinglong said angrily: "Cousin, there is no need to be polite to me!"

"When I come this time, I want to ask my cousin for soldiers. Grandpa Huang has already agreed. This is the token."

Zhu Xuan took out the token and said again: "My thousand soldiers from the Shenji Battalion have lost more than 200 people. I want to replenish them. Cousin, do you think it's convenient now?"

Li Jinglong nodded and said: "Of course it's convenient, let's go! Let's go to the recruit camp to choose."

As soon as he arrived outside the new barracks, Zhu Xuan saw a familiar figure and shouted: "General Lan."

"you are?"

The last time Lan Yu saw Zhu Xuan was when she was hunting, and she had long forgotten what Zhu Xuan looked like. At the first glance, she felt that Zhu Xuan looked like Prince Zhu Biao.

Zhu Xuan said: "I am Zhu Yunxuan."

"It turns out to be the little emperor's grandson!"

Lan Yu finally remembered.

But he was murmuring in his heart, why is Zhu Xuan more like Zhu Biao than Zhu Yunxi? No wonder His Majesty loves this child so much. But when he thought about Zhu Xuan coming back after making great achievements and becoming the favorite to be the heir, his expression fell.
