"If the soldiers don't have enough food, clothing, or warmth, and they can't support their wives and children, how can they fight with peace of mind?"

"Don't compare it with the army of the Ming Dynasty in the past. There is no comparison. In the past, it was because the pay was too low and the pay was owed, so the guards were abandoned and the border troops could no longer fight. That's why the country fell and the Central Plains was devastated."

"Compared with our opponents, what kind of food and pensions do the Tatars get? Although the Tatars get similar food rewards to Guan Ning's army in a month, they are just basic. They spend most of their time on rewards and looting. They

The pension is also extremely high.”

"A guard will get two hundred taels of silver if he dies in battle, and one infantryman will get 150 taels of silver. Even if a slave in armor goes into battle and dies in battle, he will get a hundred taels of silver. This is a one-time pension, and it does not include the deceased.

Allowances for widows and orphans, etc. Even the green battalion’s horsemen died in battle at seventy taels, and the infantrymen died in battle at fifty taels.”

"And what about us?"

"The treatment in the imperial camp is relatively good now, but Anjia's silver is only five taels, and the compensation for death in battle is only ten taels."

"Do you know what the standard of pension given by the Tatars is? It is a hundred times their monthly salary, but what about us? Even if it is the imperial camp, it is only equivalent to less than three months' standard."

The more Zhu Yihai talked, the angrier he became. Even the boss knew that if he wanted to work hard on sales, he had to give a commission. Who could do the hard work with just a basic salary?

What's more, now the soldiers are required to fight, fight tooth and nail, and face extremely powerful enemies.

Relying on one tael of silver a month? Who the hell is fighting for you?

"Soldiers go into battle with one or two taels of silver as monthly salary. This is not something to be proud of. It is a shame, a shame for the imperial court, a shame for the Ming Dynasty, a shame for you and our kings and ministers. The soldiers sacrificed their lives to fight for the imperial court, but we only think about how to provide for the imperial court."

Less money?”

"Aren't you ashamed? Don't your conscience hurt?"

Zhu Yihai slapped the table directly. He Tengjiao was pushed there and could not get off the stage. He originally wanted to say that there were too many soldiers in the imperial camp and the military expenditure was too high. He also compared it with Guan Ning's army. Five million military expenditures a year were of no use.

But Zhu Yihai didn't tell him this and directly questioned his conscience.

How did He Tengjiao answer?

Could it be that being a soldier is worth one tael a month?

Or is it enough for a soldier to go hungry and owe money to fight for the country and defend the border?
