471 Promotion and bankruptcy
Another New Year in the Ming Dynasty has arrived. On the third day of the New Year, Baiminghe returned to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
The new commander of Dongtianshan was Su Muer who came back with Bai Minghe. She came to the capital to meet the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and was granted a title.
However, Yang Ning did not come back. As the Minister of Rites, he had the obligation to stay for one year or even two years after the bitter cold. In order to make the administrative department of Tulupan play a role, Yang Ning temporarily became the left governor of Dongtianshan Province. As for whom the Ming Dynasty sent to replace him as the official governor, Yang Ning was not worried, and Bai Minghe didn't even ask.
When he returned to the capital, the white-famous crane did not enjoy the treatment of honor.
Even his soldiers also entered the Beijing camp at night, and each of them sent a New Year's goods, allowing them to take two months off. There was no mention of the big rewards in front of countless people.
He was dissatisfied and dissatisfied with all kinds of dissatisfaction. Several generals who led the troops blocked Yu Qian's door.
"Mr. Yu, we are the first to discuss military achievements!"
People from the Ming Dynasty were humble, and few generals would take the initiative to mention after the war that they were the ones who won the greatest meritorious service. They would humbly praise other troops for fighting better and killing enemies more bravely. This is definitely the first time that such self-praise is.
Yu Qian nodded silently: "In terms of military achievements, it can be said that all the battalions of the Northern Expedition this time are not as good as your two battalions. So, are you here to seek merit?"
"Yes!" Several generals answered in unison, and the oldest one took a step forward: "Master Yu, let's fight first. You said it was a profit from military weapons, or the first merit was Lord Xiaobai. But when we went west to Tulupan, there was no merit and hard work. What are the brothers trying hard to do? Isn't it just a reward for military merit?"
To be honest, the soldiers of this dynasty do not have the idea of protecting their families and giving everything to their country. Eating food and seeking rewards for military achievements can be said to be the living standards of most ordinary soldiers.
"Have you seen your reward?" Yu Qian asked again.
"I saw it, I didn't move."
There is a reward, and each soldier has a New Year's goods and a small envelope. But no one from the two battalions of soldiers moved these. What they asked for was a glory.
Yu Qian stood up and said, "Go and go to the camp."
A general asked, "Mr. Yu, do you want to call Master Xiaobai too?"
"Call him, ask for rewards for you, or come to me to ask for justice?" Yu Qian's voice became a little more stern. Although the generals were dissatisfied, no one said anything. He followed Yu Qian out of Yu Qian's mansion, and then went out of the city. After Yu Qian got on the horse, he said to himself: "Go to Bai Mansion and tell Bai Minghe. Let him not worry about the rewards of the army, and don't interfere. This time, he has worked very hard to travel west. Please rest at home for a few days."
Yu Qian did not avoid anyone, and the generals felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this.
The great achievements shocked the master! This word appeared in the hearts of these generals at the same time.
But they didn't know that Bai Minghe had already received his glory. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were both in Bai Mansion at this time, and they were all in casual clothes. In name, they came to Bai Minghe Mansion to eat a pot of dumplings.
After leaving the capital, I arrived at the Beijing Camp in half an hour.
The snow was still falling, and the soldiers from the other battalions had already received New Year's goods and were rewarded for leaving the camp and going home. Even if they didn't go home, they left the camp to drink, gamble, and even went to visit the Japanese Dalefang.
Yu Qian arrived, and the two battalions formed a formation of 12,000 people, and stood twelve square formations in the camp. In the middle of the square formation, New Year's goods were sent out at the Ministry of War, and those boxes were also distributed.
"Are you dissatisfied?" Yu Qian asked in a deep voice.
No one answered that they would fight this injustice with silence. They wanted to return and wanted a ceremony for the people to go out to welcome the triumphant journey between ten miles. This is the dream of every soldier for his life, and this is the supreme glory.
"Yesterday, the reward for Baiminghe has been booked." As soon as Yu Qian opened his mouth, even the wind seemed to stop in the already quiet camp. Countless pairs of eyes were staring at Yu Qian. Baiminghe was definitely the first achievement. Baiminghe took them to kill the enemy, captured Yesen alive, and made Tulupan a province in the Ming Dynasty.
With the status of Baiming He, the title of the prince is not considered a reward, and the title of the Duke is not considered a reward.
"The white-name crane has reached the half-rank rank. From the sixth rank, it has reached the sixth rank, and its official position is the historical official of Wenhua Palace!" Yu Qian stopped at this point. The people standing below were waiting for what happened next, but Yu Qian did not continue.
After a long period of silence, Yu Qian said: "What are you waiting for? Is there any reward for Baiminghe when I will talk about Baiminghe? The answer from that official is that Baiminghe has received so many rewards. When it comes to rewarding silver, Baiminghe has not had a penny, but instead has to pay a lot of money."
There was some commotion below, and several generals took a step forward without saying a word. Their actions were just telling these people what rules to follow.
The commotion only took a moment, and it immediately became quiet again.
"The White-Ming Horoscope did not give away money, but instead had to pay a large sum of silver. This was for the Oda family in the Ushima Island. In the words of Mr. Hu, you, the White-Ming Horoscope, took the Oda family's daughter, and you must have a gift if you are not considered a mediator. Then some of the armed forces that were about to retreat were packaged and shipped to the Oda family in three ships. The Ordnance Department issued a list, and the White-Ming Horoscope had to pay the silver. It was not the Haishi, but the White-Ming Horoscope himself."
How much money does the three ships of the ordnance cost?
Everyone was secretly surprised.
This is not over yet. Yu Qian continued, "Your silver reward was also given by the white-famous crane. Of course, there is a reason. Now we start to share the rewards. After everyone receives the silver reward, I will talk about this reason and start."
Yu Qian is the Minister of War and has enough prestige in the Ming army. Even if he is dissatisfied, he will have doubts in his heart.
From several battalion generals who were the chief and deputy, to the most ordinary knight soldiers, they had already started to line up to get the money.
Each person has one New Year’s goods, and each New Year’s goods are marked with a level. It is easy to distinguish whether it is a kid or a lieutenant. However, each person has an envelope with a pre-written name.
After a lieutenant was led by the captain, he first adjusted the formation of the hundred-man team he was responsible for, and then opened the envelope.
There were ten silver notes of 200 taels.
Surprise was written on his face. The formation just now was messy. After seeing the silver notes in the captain's envelope, several people quickly opened their envelopes. An ordinary soldier was the lowest, and one soldier even received a silver reward of 1,500 taels. For ordinary soldiers, this was a huge silver reward of astronomical numbers.
In the capital of Daming, the price of one tael of silver is now higher, but you can still buy twenty chickens and twenty five ducks. A pig with an eighty kilogram is only two taels of silver, and a top-quality, 40 feet fine white hemp is only four cents of silver.
Five hundred taels are already a huge reward.
"Your reward is about a total of hundreds of thousands of taels. You can't tell me the specific amount, so don't ask. In short, this silver was not made by the Ministry of War, but by the Baiming He. If you want to ask the reason, I'll give it to you now."
Yu Qian left the platform and walked down.
The soldiers were not allowed to line up again, but instead they were in the form of senior officers in the inner circle and ordinary soldiers in the outer circle.
"In almost the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of Yesian were destroyed and Yesian was captured alive. This record is almost unbelievable, but because it is unbelievable, the court announced to the public that it would fight hard for a day and a night, killing Yesian troops. Whether it is the three guards of Duoyan, the Jurchen tribe, the Li family, Goryeo, Siam, the whole world is announced. So why?"
What a good reason, the soldiers looked at each other stupidly.
But the generals were thinking.
If it is announced, this combat power is enough to intimidate the world.
"If you don't say it, it is the common opinion of all the great scholars of Wenhua Palace. It is also the opinion of my official, because you are a surprise soldier, your combat power can help the Ming Dynasty recover Annan. At present, just because no one believes that the main force will be destroyed in a few breaths, and the court does not need to prove it. Forcibly proof will only make people underestimate our Ming Dynasty."
"So, you are highly rewarded because you are worth the reward. The Ministry of War will not pay, and because this account is difficult to leave, the white-name crane will come out to reward you. Do you understand the cleverness of this?"
The soldiers seemed to understand it, but they also knew that this might be some kind of layout of the court.
The lieutenants who have learned military tactics understand that there is no need to prove anything to the three guards of Duoyan or the people of Li's Goryeo.
If they insist on saying how strong they are, they will think that the Ming Dynasty is boasting about their combat power. So since no one believes it, it is better not to say that the real combat power can play a decisive role in Annan's battle, which just makes Annan not be too cautious. Of course, they can't guess the detailed ideas.
But finally, under the messy explanation of the general, the lieutenant and others, the soldiers also understood a little.
This is why they will be valued. Now they just don’t make the credit public in the world, but it does not mean they won’t. In short, the court has recorded the credits of these people.
"Next, I will issue a ban order. Today, so I cannot mention it again. After the holiday of returning home, I will be transferred to the Shanglin Yuan Cao army in Nanjing. Bai Minghe is still not satisfied with your use of firearms. He thinks it can be stronger. And you, I am optimistic about you."
After Yu Qian finished speaking, he handed over the two gold medals to the two battalion generals respectively.
"The first and second battalions of the Ming Dynasty's Royal Divine Soldiers. This is the glory that Long Live gives you. Only in the Battle of Nan'an can you stand up the flag, so endure it!"
It's a good word to endure. This is not only the forbearance of these soldiers, but also the forbearance of the Ming Dynasty. Bai Minghe first proposed the Battle of Annan. Now, Yu Qian has put the Battle of Annan on the agenda in the internal resolution of the Ministry of War.
For the Ming Dynasty, Annan is not as good as Wats and Tulupan. Because Annan was once the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was defeated in the Battle of Annan. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty was of great significance to Annan and a battle of mighty power! (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better and faster!
