When Hong Chengchou climbed the city wall, his eyes also became straight. He remembered what Zhu Cilang said before going to Zhangjiakou. The palace would never owed Liaodong soldiers a penny of military pay. Since he had said something, he had to do what he said. He should not let the soldiers feel cold, and the palace would come back.

Looking at the food and supplies of this car, Hong Chengchou was very sure and sure, and the military pay was here.

"Hurry, open the city gate!"

No official documents are needed, because Hong Chengchou had already seen Linghu Yunlong and the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army. In Qifeng Mountain, he had witnessed the combat effectiveness of these Tiger Ben Army with his own eyes.

The city gate opened, and Hong Chengchou led his subordinates, Zu Dashou and others out of the city. At this time, Linghu Yunlong and others had already escorted the food and grass and walked slowly over.

Linghu Yunlong on the horse could not hide the arrogance on his face and bowed to Hong Chengchou: "Governor Hong, my crown prince has sent his last to fulfill His Highness's promise in the future."

With Linghu Yunlong's words, Hong Chengchou was even more happy and clasped his fists and returned the greeting: "Gen. Linghu is hard, and if you have any trouble, please come to the city quickly."

The face Hong Chengchou gave to Zhu Cilang, not Linghu Yunlong. After all, a dignified governor of Ji Liao was several times larger than Linghu Yunlong.

Carriages and horses entered the city one after another, and the Jinzhou guards were immediately excited. This kind of news spread faster than the postmen at the post station. Soon, the guards of Songshan, Ningyuan and even Shanhaiguan, and the soldiers of the entire Guanning Jin defense line knew about it.

Shanhaiguan was originally the first to be hit. The soldiers of Shanhaiguan would look forward to the moon every day, watching whether the imperial court's food and grass team suddenly appeared on the official roads in the pass. As long as they saw the team transporting food and grass head north, they would know that the military pay was coming.

But I waited day and night, but I didn't see Mao's figure. As the days of paying wages got closer, the hearts of the soldiers were sinking day by day. They worked hard on the border, so the court wouldn't forget them again.

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince quietly transported the food and grass to Jinzhou, and then waited for the salary to be paid. In addition, the soldiers who went to pursue Qifengshan last time were rewarded according to their merits.

The enthusiasm of the soldiers was ignited again, and morale rose again. Money came, and military pay came!

Linghu Yunlong was invited to the Jinzhou Prefecture Office by Hong Chengchou. Everyone sat down. Hong Chengchou bowed again: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is confident. I am the governor who leads Liaodong soldiers to be grateful for the kindness of the Crown Prince. I also ask General Linghu to tell that the Liaodong soldiers will fight bravely to serve the court."

This was a compliment on the scene, but Linghu Yunlong waved his hand without giving face: "Governor Hong, let's not say anything about the scene. His Highness the Crown Prince sent the last general to come, first, to fulfill his previous promise, and the Liaodong soldiers will never owe salary. Second, His Highness the Crown Prince has something else to do."

When he heard that it was something else, Hong Chengchou immediately said seriously: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has an order, and all the 230,000 soldiers from Liaodong are ordered to come out and follow!"

This is not something Hong Chengchou boasted. The reputation of the current crown prince is growing among the Liaodong soldiers. Zhu Cixuan has really helped Liaodong a lot. The court had owed military pay for more than half a year, which was solved by Zhu Cixuan.

The soldiers were grateful and were grateful to Zhu Cilang.

Linghu Yunlong waved his hand again: "Governor Hong, this is not the case. Shu Mo will keep it a secret first. I dare to ask Governor Hong: How about the food for the soldiers in Liaodong?"

Hong Chengchou was stunned and didn't understand why Linghu Yunlong asked about this. He replied truthfully: "The soldiers have a good meal. Although they dare not say that there is enough food and supplies, the soldiers' food and clothing can still be solved."

Linghu Yunlong nodded: "As far as I know, Liaodong soldiers have two meals a day. At noon, it is wild vegetables, corn, and rice with mixed grains at night. As Governor Hong said, it is not considered good to eat, it can only be considered as barely satisfying hunger."

Hong Chengchou frowned. Aren’t the soldiers of the three armies always like this? Every day, white flour, steamed buns, fish and meat, which country can withstand such troubles? If that is the case, the entire Ming Dynasty would not be able to provide food for the soldiers of Liaodong.

Linghu Yunlong seemed to be deliberately showing off: "In our Huben Camp, we have two dry meals a day, and there will be meat in less than seven days. Most of the soldiers eat rice cakes and buns, and there will be vegetables at night."

Hong Chengchou's face was obviously not good-looking. Everyone knows that your Hu Ben Camp is the prince's direct descendant. If you can fight, no one will say anything if you eat well. But you don't have to show off in front of this governor.

But due to Zhu Cilang's face, Hong Chengchou still said: "I admire the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Huben Camp. It is natural that His Highness the Crown Prince favors you."

Linghu Yunlong raised his lips: "Governor Hong, you can do it too."

Hong Chengchou was stunned: "What, what?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince said that as long as you Liaodong soldiers can complete the mission of Your Highness the Crown Prince, the soldiers can get white flour pancakes and hot dried rice. Two meals a day, dried, meat and vegetables."

This is tempting. Some soldiers around Hong Chengchou couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Sometimes these generals eat less than soldiers.

What shocked Zhu Cixuan was that people in this era were generally malnutrition. They were single and lacked in food, and generally lacked nutrition, but people in this era were very strong. They were like tireless mules, and a little bit of food could exert huge energy.

In terms of hard work, it is enough to shock future generations.

If the soldiers of the Liaodong army were well fed, which general did not want to think about it. Hong Chengchou was obviously shocked by this huge temptation. He couldn't help but ask, "I wonder what tasks your highness have?"

"You defend the city, let's attack." Linghu Yunlong's eyes were aggressive.

Hong Chengchou still didn't understand for a moment: "You are sieging the city?"

Linghu Yunlong nodded: "Our Hu Ben Army will attack the cities of your Guanning Jin defense line one by one. Of course, we are just practicing. But for the practical exercise, as long as you can defend a city, His Royal Highness the Prince will reward the soldiers of this city for one month for white flour buns. In addition to the steamed buns, there are also rice and meat dishes."

Zhu Cixuan wanted to exercise with the purpose of actual combat. The Huben Camp was the attacking party and Hong Chengchou and the others were the defending party. Once the Huben Army broke through the city, it meant that Hong Chengchou and the others failed. There was no reward for those who failed, but one thing was that Hong Chengchou's 230,000 troops could not gather together.

After all, there are only a few thousand people in the Huben Camp, and Zhu Cilang means that Hong Chengchou's 230,000 army scattered the cities on the Guanning Jin defense line. The Huben Camp attacks one by one, start with Shanhaiguan. If Hong Chengchou and his friends defend the city, the soldiers in this city will be able to make a big fish and meat for a month.
