The guards moved all the boxes from the two houses to the yard, including the boxes in the main room, and there were 39 boxes in total.In addition, two iron boxes were found from the firewood room. When I opened them, they were not gold and silver treasures, but some official seals and official uniforms.There were bloodstains on two of the official uniforms, but the blood was not dark, but the owner of the official uniforms had just been killed not long ago.

Most of the official seals belong to local officials, there are more than 70 of them, both civil and military.After counting, there is one Bingbei Dao, four magistrates, three co-prefects, twelve county magistrates, two seals of generals, three seals of Dusi, one seal of garrison, thousands of households and hundreds of households in the guard. There are more than a dozen seals, and the rest are mostly low-end fakes, and there is even a seal of the county edict.

Shi Dayong didn't know why Chen sometimes collected these official seals and uniforms. He asked Qi Sanbao, but Qi Sanbao couldn't tell.

Could it be that Kong Youde failed to establish a country and proclaim himself emperor? [

Shi Dayong was dumbfounded by his conjecture, if this is true, it would be a joke.Establishing a country, proclaiming the emperor and starting a new dynasty, naturally everything should be new, so there is no use of the seal of the old dynasty, and wearing the clothes of the old dynasty.

Unless Kong Youde's head was flooded, it would be absolutely impossible for him to do such a thing that made the world laugh at him.

But apart from this idea, Shi Dayong couldn't think of any other purpose for Chen sometimes to collect official seals and official uniforms.

More than 70 official seals means that more than 70 local civil and military officials of Ming Dynasty were killed. Compared with the scope of Kong Youde's activities after the incident, this number is a shocking number.Because this means that none of the officials surrendered to the thief.

Sure enough, the Ming Dynasty has not yet completely faded away. These officials are certainly wrong and have thousands of reasons to be killed, but in terms of loyalty to the emperor, they are just like Shi Dayong, and they are really worthy of this official uniform.

People's hearts are still in Daming!

When Shi Dayong was looking at these official seals casually, Qi Sanbao was chattering on the sidelines:

"Since Wuqiao, Chen Ni has attacked the government and plundered thirteen places in the county, burned, killed, and looted. What he didn't do, the wealth of the people was swept away. In the end, the general can be sure that the property they robbed was far more than this, but most of them were called Kong thief took it. If it’s all here, then there are too many!”

"Actually, if the general finds out the gains of those prisoners, I'm afraid the gains will be quite a lot."

"If the general can trust the junior general, the latter is willing to do this job for the general."

Qi Sanbao tried his best to show his loyalty, and kept begging for orders to lead people to search for the property that the captives had robbed.The subtext is also wanting to get a share of it.He was still the commander of the rebel army yesterday, so he naturally knew all about the looting situation of the rebel soldiers.As long as Shi Dayong agrees, he is sure that at least half of the gold, silver and jewelry in the yard can be found.

Cao Bianjiao was annoyed to see the rebel general's greedy face, and shouted at him angrily: "According to what you said, the looted goods in your camp should be quite a lot. Now that you're done anyway, these What do you do with the ill-gotten wealth, why don’t you donate it for military use! In this way, it will be counted as your credit, what do you think?”

"This"

Qi Sanbao froze, almost didn't choke, with an embarrassed look on his face, he didn't dare to speak anymore, he felt like he was shooting himself in the foot, and he felt a little regretful.

Shi Dayong ignored Qi Sanbao's embarrassment, put down the official seal, asked someone to collect it, then walked around the boxes, then stopped, raised his hand to Jiang Wanli and said: "You take someone to snatch Chen from Haixing. The returned goods are also transported here, and the gold and silver are put together in one place, and an approximate amount can be obtained, so that I can report to the court."

Hearing this, all the generals were stunned: The court?

"What is the general going to the court to do?" Jiang Wanli was surprised, not knowing what Shi Dayong wanted to do.

Shi Dayong explained: "This is the people's fat and the people's anointing. I was ordered by the emperor to suppress the thieves. I will naturally hand over all the proceeds to the court for disposal by the court. How can I keep it privately. It is not something a courtier should do if he really wants to swallow it privately. "

Hearing these words, all the generals were pale and couldn't believe their ears. [

Li Dashan was so anxious that he couldn't help but yelled: "Why pay, we got it by our lives, why should we hand it over to the court?"

"These goods were snatched by the rebels, and now they are in our hands. There is no reason to hand them over. When we went south to the court, we didn't pay them. Why don't we pay them?" Hand it over for nothing.

Cao Bianjiao has no idea, he is not a greedy person, but he is also a bit reluctant to hand over such a large amount of wealth to others.

Guo Yi and a group of soldiers on the side were all discouraged, and Qi Sanbao looked at Shi Dayong with his mouth wide open in disbelief.

What Jiang and Li said made Shi Dayong a little disappointed. He said seriously: "Because the rebels snatched it, we should hand it over. The government will count the sufferers, and then return the property to the original owner. If we intercept it, this What's the difference between them and the rebels? Are we waiting for these yellow and white things to go to war?"

"General, that's not what you said." Jiang Wanli disagreed with Shi Dayong's words, and retorted: "The general has good intentions, but the general doesn't know the virtues of the local officials? If we really want to hand these treasures into their hands, I'm afraid those who suffer You can't get a dime, you can only cheapen those dog officials for nothing. Why not cheapen ourselves if you cheapen others! Anyway, brothers sacrificed their lives for it!"

"Yes, yes."

Li Dashan couldn't help nodding, Jiang Wanli's words really touched his heart, he finally picked up a huge bargain, how can he give it to others, isn't this a lack of brain!

Thinking of something, he hurriedly pointed at those boxes, and said with certainty: "In my opinion, I'm afraid there will be no one who suffers, so why bother the general!"

Shi Dayong glanced at the box and sighed, knowing that what Li Dashan said was true, there might be no more suffering.That bloody jewelry is the best proof.

Since there is no sufferer, why not stay?

As soon as my heart moved, I wanted to keep these wealth, but the words came to my mouth, but it still became: "In this case, then directly hand it over to the imperial court, and the imperial court will deal with it. Now the treasury is empty, the country is troubled, and internal worries Foreign aggression, use soldiers everywhere, use money everywhere. As soldiers of the emperor, we should share the worries of the emperor."

After finishing speaking, he put one hand on a box beside him, glanced towards the north, and said in a deep voice: "Although these treasures are not worth millions, they are still a wish of my ministers. I think the emperor If you know, you will be touched by the sincerity of Jinzhou."

As soon as the words fell, Li Dashan's dissatisfied voice sounded in his ears, "The general is thinking of the emperor, but the emperor has thought of us. If he really thought of us, why did he force me to go south without rewards when he went to Beijing to offer prisoners? If we don’t even issue it, we want us to confiscate it on the spot, so we’re not thinking about us!” Li Dashan brought up the old matter again, with an excited expression on his face.

"You!" Shi Dayong couldn't tolerate his subordinates saying that Chongzhen was wrong, so he wanted to reprimand Li Dashan in a fit of anger, but before he could speak, Cao Bianjiao suddenly interjected: "General, in fact, you really think about the emperor, so you shouldn't put these Wealth is handed over to the court."

"What does Xiao Cao want to say?" Cao Bianjiao seldom expresses his opinions on things other than the battlefield, so when he suddenly opened his mouth, Shi Dayong naturally wanted to hear what he had to say.

Cao Bianjiao said with a wry smile: "When the final general was in the northwest, I often saw my uncle worrying about the military salary. It was also common that every time the salary was allocated, [-]% to [-]% would always go to my uncle's hands. It is called routine. The military salary is like this. This is especially true for others such as relief and Hegong silver. Therefore, if the general handed over the silver, let alone how to use it in the future, I am afraid that half of the silver will be lost before it is put into the warehouse. Therefore, the last general Dare to pat your chest and say that [-]% of the silver can be used for practical things, even if the court officials still think of Daming and our emperor!" At the end of the sentence, there was no intention of ridiculing Nai.

As soon as these words were said, Jiang Wanli and Li Dashan immediately echoed in unison, and even Shi Dayong jumped up, thinking of the reward money allocated by the emperor after the first battle at Daling River, the emperor gave ten thousand, and finally arrived The one I had turned into [-], and the remaining [-] was deducted in this way.

The emperor dared to withhold money in such a way. Wouldn't the officials be even more reckless when they engulfed it in such an ordinary way!

Thinking of this, most of the thought of handing over the money was gone, but he still hesitated.

Cao Bianjiao continued: "When the money is handed over, it must be thrown into the water. The emperor may not know the general's sincerity. But if it is kept in our hands, the general will be able to accomplish great things, and he can better share the worries of the emperor. !"

"With so much money in hand, the general will be able to recruit troops and buy horses to expand our Songshan army. My uncle often said that with swords and guns, you are actually fighting for money. The basic necessities of the soldiers, weapons and horses, and pensions for the dead and wounded are all there. One place does not require silver. With silver, this soldier is an officer; without silver, this soldier may not be an officer.”[

"In the first battle of Jinzhou, our army was short of soldiers, and the imperial court cut Liao's salary, but the Eastern Captives were still strong and strong. Without money, how could the general raise his troops? Without a strong army, how could the general stand? With these silver, the general But if we can recruit soldiers and buy horses, if we can train to [-], we can do a lot of things."

"The general is not greedy for money. The general just doesn't want these treasures to fall into the hands of those dog officials. Please think twice!" After finishing speaking, Cao Bianjiao suddenly knelt down.

"General, please think again and plan for Jinzhou!"

Jiang Wanli, Li Dashan, Guo Yi and a group of other soldiers also knelt down, sincerely looking at Shi Dayong, hoping that he would change his mind and not chill the army.

After a while, Shi Dayong sighed and said: "In this world, you can do things with money, but you can't do things without money. I was confused, but fortunately Xiao Cao woke me up with a word, okay, let's keep the money. I will use it to recruit troops to strengthen my Jinzhou army!"
