Chapter 239 Fighting for happiness

Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qiancai had more blood, which was the blood they created when they took over the troops of the Liaodong generals. There was no way, the Liaodong generals raised too many servants, and they all prospered and lost. The master was arrested, and their good days were over. How could they not fight?

Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qiancai came to the military camp and announced that the Liaodong generals were arrested and imprisoned for delaying military aircraft. The servants were furious and could get double the salary and there was no need to go to the battlefield to fight. Wherever you find such a good life, you will end it if you say it is over, and there is still a king's law in your eyes? No, it seems that the servants themselves are illegal. No matter what, they killed these two guys who were five or six, rescued their master from the prison, and then killed them back to Liaodong to continue living a happy life.

For their own happiness, the servants worked hard.

Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qiancai were not doing well in Shanhaiguan, but were just small military officers. Now Zhu Youcheng gave them a chance and could get promoted and make money if they seized. The two of them also fought hard for their own happiness.

The goals on both sides were happiness, and they started a fierce battle. All the servants went on the battlefield, and Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qiancai also took out their strength. Their strength was not the servants, but all their subordinates.

Zhu Youcheng had already said at the Ming Military Academy that the military servant system is actually a very stupid system. He used 10,000 people to train 100 servants. Even if the trained generals with a brave bravery of ten thousand men, can he win by fighting against 10,000 people? What should we do if the remaining 9,900 soldiers? These soldiers who lack food and salary and have no training are just a time bomb on the battlefield. The military servant system unites a very small number of soldiers, but gives up the vast majority of soldiers. It would be strange if the upper and lower levels are undefeated. It would be better to share the salary equally and train all soldiers. Unfortunately, the generals in Liaodong only saw the benefits of the servants, but did not expect the impact of the overall military combat effectiveness on the situation.

Sure enough, when the servants fought, the other soldiers were indifferent. It is not a big deal that these soldiers usually received was always half-deal, while the servants doubled. Once they increased and decreased, the difference was much greater. The soldiers were very simple. They wanted to get high wages and even more fair treatment. They were also soldiers, just because others were servants and all the benefits were taken into consideration. Then when the war was fought, the servants should also rush forward. The mentality of ordinary soldiers was to look at it, the servants won. They looked at it, and the servants won. They looked at it, and the servants lost, but they would still be the ones.

Although the servants were brave, Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qiancai brought soldiers trained with new military training techniques. The quality was similar to that of the servants, and they were even slightly better than those of the servants, and the quantity was far superior. In this way, there was no suspense in the battle. Many servants found that the two generals brought not the dough that they could knead at will. They were panicked and became more desperate as they fought. Finally, they knelt down and begged for mercy. However, Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qiancai's soldiers were too unsports-free. They obviously had surrendered and were going to fight to death. They were so frustrated. This was not allowed next time. If you do this again, we will endure it again.

Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qian were ruthless. As long as they did not surrender, they would kill them all, and the ground on the school ground was almost dyed red with blood. While suppressing the servants, the two of them took gentle measures against ordinary soldiers and announced in public that the lieutenant generals no longer had servants, and all the soldiers would eat, live and train together.

Ordinary soldiers in Liaodong were often bullied by their servants. When they saw Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qiancai repairing their servants, they felt very comforted. They felt that it might be a good idea to be a general, so most of the Liaodong army calmed down. Of course, this was just a superficial surrender. It would take some time to get into the military force of the Ming Dynasty, rather than the private armed forces of some ambitious people. However, this was a good start after all.

In the conference room, Yang Qi saw more than 100 generals being arrested on the spot, shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhu, why do I say hello to you? You think I don't hate them, but I endure it. Why? Because all the soldiers in Liaodong are concentrated in Shanhaiguan, losing their leaders can easily lead to mutiny. If you arrest them now, it will be very happy, but what should I do next?"

"It's okay, I have sent two generals Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qiancai to take over the troops from Liaodong. The arrogant generals of Liaodong have become a cancer of the Ming Dynasty. If they are tolerated, they will only cause greater damage to the Ming Dynasty. At this time, we must take out the courage of a hero to cut off the arm and cut off this cancer to truly consolidate the defense line of Shanhaiguan."

"Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qiancai are indeed very capable of leadership, but can they manage the Liaodong troops well?"

"They are my students, and I believe their abilities. Besides, there are Jinyiwei here to watch the venue. One or two shrimps, soldiers and crabs will not be able to make the sky. Do you think that the 30,000 heads were picked up by us? When necessary, I will let Shanhaiguan blood flow into a river."

Gao Di also advised Yang Qi a few times, but he just shook his head and sighed. However, the result of the incident was beyond Yang Qi's surprise. Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qiancai successfully accepted the troops from Liaodong. Although they had not reached the level of arm-to-arm fingers, they could still obey orders. Yang Qi was very happy. The negative emotions that had previously been caused by being unable to control the troops were wiped out. He, Wu Xiang and Zhuang Qiancai, worked together to rectify military discipline and train the troops. The appearance of the Shanhaiguan Guards was completely renewed.

Afraid that the soldiers from Liaodong had gotten up to cause trouble as soon as the Jinyiwei left, Zhu Youcheng stayed in Shanhaiguan for two days, and did not set off for the capital on February 15, the sixth year of Tianqi.

Zhu Youcheng did not send a messenger to Emperor Tianqi because someone did this kind of good news for him. Gao Di rushed to Emperor Tianqi at the first time, and then the prefectures and counties all sent people to the capital one after another. Zhu Youcheng's itinerary along the way was spread to Emperor Yiqi like a live broadcast. It is no exaggeration to say that even if Zhu Youcheng sneezes here, Emperor Tianqi will get news.

Zhu Youcheng originally wanted to be extremely windy and swinging across the market, allowing the people of the Ming Dynasty to see the power of the army. Unfortunately, the weather was not good, and it started to drizzle. Although spring rain was as expensive as oil, it was not a good thing for Zhu Youcheng. Because all the heads are made of quicklime, and the heads are covered with quicklime. The quicklime will heat up when touched by the water, and it can boil the heads. The heads are not pork heads, and it will be bad when cooked. At that time, you can't say to Emperor Tianqi: "Your Majesty, how does this roasted head taste?" Even if it is not roasted, the water will flush out the lime, and the heads are prone to rot. At that time, he will not send military achievements to Beijing, but to send plague to Beijing.

Zhu Youcheng searched on the roadside for a long time and finally found oil paper, which is the raw material for making paper umbrellas. Spread this kind of thing on the roof of the car. It should be waterproof.

"Boss, how do you sell this oil paper?"

"Sir, don't sell it!"

Zhu Youcheng was a little angry. It wasn't that he didn't give the money, so why didn't he sell it? Just as he was about to question, the boss explained with a smile: "If you don't sell it, you can give it for free. The adults cut down 30,000 Jiannu and Tartars, avenged me with a bloody revenge, and used some villain's oil paper. How could he collect the money?"

Zhu Youcheng was really amused and laughed. How much money is oil paper worth? I want you to give it. If you really give it a hundred thousand or eighty thousand, it would be fine. It would be so bad to take it down. The Censor found out and wrote it up and said that Zhu Youcheng was greedy for money and profit. He accepted bribes from merchants at Shanhaiguan, bribing silver coins as much as a silver coin. For one tael of silver, I caused such a big trouble. I am worth it?

Zhu Youcheng threw down a silver coin, asked his subordinates to carry the oil paper and then went out. The boss chased him out, and Zhu Youcheng firmly pushed him into the store.

In fact, the boss didn't want to refund him, but wanted to say: "Sir, oil paper only costs nine cents of silver. I have to ask you for money."

As a result, Zhu Youcheng pushed back the boss's words. The boss was a little happy, after all, he made more money.

After leaving the oil paper shop, Zhu Youcheng found an oil cake stall next to him, with a row of golden oil cakes on it. It was steaming hot and had an attractive fragrance.

Zhu Youcheng couldn't help but grab a bite, and asked vaguely: "How much does this cake cost?"

"I don't have money, I'll give it to the adults. The adults killed so many Tartars, and the old man felt relieved. The cake was worth it."

Why are there such people in Shanhaiguan? This time I want to bribe me with oil cakes. I really think that the censor of the Ming Dynasty is just a good meal.

Zhu Youcheng waved his hand and said, "Money must be given, killing the Tartars is my duty, just as making cakes is your responsibility."

When the boss saw that Zhu Youcheng had to pay, he pointed to the guise of the oil cake stall, with a few big words written on it, two articles.

Zhu Youcheng took out a silver coin and threw it to the old man.

The old man took the silver coins and said with a wry smile: "The old man only collected one or two hundred copper coins a day. Where can I find this money (Note: One-time money is one thousand copper coins)?"

Zhu Youcheng suddenly realized that he belonged to a high-consumption group, so the settlement was settled in silver coins. However, the small vendors on the street were not as rich as him. They were all money, cents of silver or simply calculated in copper plates. Now silver cannot be used as currency, and the people can only calculate it in silver coins and copper plates. As a result, this often occurs. When going out to shop, the wallet is flat, but when shopping comes, the wallet becomes bulging. The reason is very simple. When going out to go out to copper coins, the copper plates come back. It seems that auxiliary coins must be added between the copper plates and silver coins, such as 5 copper plates, 10 copper plates, 20 copper plates, 50 copper plates, 100 copper plates, 200 copper plates, and 500 copper plates, so that it will be much more convenient for the people to shop. After returning to Beijing, he told Wei Zhongxian to do this.

Zhu Youcheng looked at the missing bite of sesame cake in his hand, and thought that if he spit out the sesame cake in his mouth now, he might not be able to go back. What should he do? Zhu Youcheng thought helplessly that he could only write IOUs. Alas, others are poor and write IOUs, but I am rich. What kind of world is this?

Zhu Youcheng asked his personal soldiers to bring him paper and pen, brushed and wrote a 10-month IOU, and then stamped his own seal.

The old man was so excited that his hands were trembling when he held the IOU. He didn't even care about the stall and ran away.

Zhu Youcheng couldn't help but wonder, this old man is really, is it so good to be a creditor? Can he not even want the oil cake stall?

In fact, he didn't know that his characters could be said to be worth a thousand gold in the market. His characters were very beautiful and he didn't like to write poems everywhere, so there were very few characters circulating in the world. As the saying goes, things are precious because they are rare, and his characters usually start with ten silver coins.

Although the old man is a maker of oil cakes, his son is a scholar. He once mentioned the price of the top scholar Zhu Youcheng's post, but the old man recorded this matter. Now that he has Zhu Youcheng's IOU in his hand, he won't send it yet.

After leaving the oil cake stall, Zhu Youcheng returned to the military camp and asked someone to wrap the carriage. He also gave each of the soldiers in the Jinyi Guard a straw raincoat to block the rain. There was no need to buy the straw raincoat, there were some in Shanhaiguan. Everything was ready to stop, and Zhu Youcheng led his troops to leave Shanhaiguan.

Shanhaiguan is more than 600 miles away from Beijing. Originally, with the speed of the Jinyiwei West Fushi, six days were enough, but Zhu Youcheng walked for ten days. There was no way, and there were too many people watching. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been too few wars to annihilate more than 30,000 alien soldiers at a time. Everyone hopes to see which general has achieved such a brilliant victory.

Zhu Youcheng was not in a hurry and let the people watch his convoy. The people were stunned and exclaimed when they looked at the heads of the fifteen cars piled up.

They had doubts before, because there were too many water in ancient war reports, such as countless beheadings, and there might be only a few dozen heads presented in the end; the number of people who were in the middle of the cannon was decayed, that is, there were not even a head. If those war reports were added together, the Jiannu outside the pass would have been extinct. The good news from the Jinyiwei came, and the people suspected that the generals of commanding the army would be bragging as usual. But when they saw the heads, they were shocked. The number of heads was easy to calculate, with fifteen cars of heads, each car of two thousand, which totaled exactly 30,000.

Some skeptics also put forward a new view, believing that the middle of the head is empty, and the head is only the outside. However, this kind of person was beaten by the onlookers. It is very simple. Look at the wheels, a head weighs about three and a half pounds, and how heavy is the head of two thousand people? If the car is hollow, why is the rut so deep? Besides, there is really a problem. The soldiers of the Jinyi Guard can completely cover the head of the car with black cloth and not for everyone to watch.

The onlookers found that the first black carriage was the most noble. Every time there was a slope or bridge in front of it, a scout ran to the front of the car and whispered a reminder.

The people in the car were very rude and never answered a word.

Everyone thought that the person sitting in the car must be the general who commanded the Jinyiwei Dapo Jiannu. Unexpectedly, a breeze blew by and opened the curtain, there were coffins piled up bit by bit inside. It turned out that victory also came at a price. The Jinyiwei paid his precious life, which was the result of today's battle. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!

ps: (Thanks to the book friends who have subscribed, I will go to the keyboard to ask for recommendations and monthly tickets. I want to write humor, but it is difficult. I have written it and deleted it, and I finally feel a bit decent. I usually have a lot of pressure on everyone's life, and if there is no sense of humor in the novel, then there is really nothing to watch.)
