Chapter 130. So little!
Several large sea boats were floating on the turbulent North Sea. Even the chain ladders attached to the port were pulled and creaked. They held the rope ladder while walking, while the War Department's official Wailang, named Zhang, was still yawning. As for the eunuch in the Qinglang Palace, they simply did not wake up and lay on the back of a lower-ranking eunuch, asking him to carry the boat he was under.
To be honest, the life of the Beijing officials is actually not easy. They all hope to go out for a business trip to take a free trip to the Bath City. They still want to feel comfortable in Pi Island these days. Unexpectedly, Mao Jue was really serious. After getting on the carriage, Zhang Yuanwailang was still muttering reluctantly.
"This young man is just restless and impatient. Thinking about the fact that when the official was in the imperial examination, he was also in the imperial examination. He took five years to take the exam! It was not until the edges and corners were almost done that he was attracted by the master and put on this official uniform! What our Ming Dynasty court wants is a person like the official who is smooth and smooth, and who is stable, like General Xiao Mao. If he doesn't change, he won't be able to do it long!"
After sighing for a long time, the middle-aged civil servant suddenly couldn't help but feel shocked and jumped up on the back of the carriage.
"Hey! Eunuch Jiao, do you think this Deputy General Mao, can you find a group of village men and local gangsters to come and make up the scene? I want us to spit out the money!"
"What! Don't think about it!"
Just now, Eunuch Jiao jumped up with a trembling heart. Yinzi was really the lifeblood of the eunuch, full of shock and anger. The dead eunuch was gritting his teeth and screaming.
"Our family is thousands of miles away, and we are here to cry and be in a place where we are so cold and impoverished. The little bastard named Mao still wants to plot, and our family will kill him!"
Not to mention that, if Mao Jue was here, he would really have to bite him if he couldn't take it.
"But this is his Mao family's village. Other generals cannot prepare for the rest of the army and cannot pay so many soldiers. What if he really pulls out hundreds of wild men and puts the roster together?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, is our strength in finding faults! The reason why Eunuch Wang is optimistic about our family is naturally capable of this. You will see that our family will deal with him later!"
Mr. Zhang looked sad, but Eunuch Jiao was confident and patted his chest and shouted fiercely.
The concrete road between the port and Tieshan City was originally planned to take more than half an hour and now it is less than twenty minutes away. Su Changmei had already brought the news back. The Tieyi Army had already completed the assembly under Mao Jue's order last night. The field of the Southeast Daying School outside Tieshan was already full of people, and they were on the stage. Mao Jue, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others were all wearing heavy armor and had already been waiting there.
With his belly shy, Zhang Yuanwailang walked proudly in front, followed by Eunuch Jiao, who was also a ferocious old face, as if he was a fighter in a rooster. He seemed to be going to do a big fight when he came up, but before they could take two steps, the roar of the artillery came from the southeast corner. From west to east, twenty-eight tiger squat cannons exploded one after another, and four red-clothed cannons were followed behind. The deafening sound of artillery almost vibrated the iron mountain city wall in the distance. This welcome ceremony was so grand, and the rich smell of gunpowder seemed to remind Mao Jue of the sword lights and swords on the battlefield, and became excited.
But after the cannon was released, Mao Jue was waiting here, but the imperial envoy disappeared. After a while, Mao Jue turned his head in shock. Only then did Su Changmei laugh and cry and drag the two civil and military envoys who were hiding behind the guards out.
"Mr. Zhang, Eunuch Jiao, oh, this is to welcome you two! It's not that there is a mutiny, it's about to come out soon!"
Mao Jue really didn't expect that these two officials in Beijing were so brave, but it was no wonder. After all, the Ming Dynasty had been peaceful for too long, and the play of literature and martial arts even became the trend of the court. A while ago, there was the Shaanxi Governor Wu Zhiwang. The peasant army was attacking Yan'an City, and the government army fought bloody battles on the top of the city. However, he turned his head to the back, his eyes closed tightly, and his body was trembling like a frozen chicken. They were either lying in the pile of old papers all day long, or nodding in the palace. This behavior is not surprising.
I also knew that I had lost the ugly face. The Jiao Eunuch had a blue and red face. His nose was not the nose, eyes were not the eyes, and the adult forced a ugly smile and followed him up to the stage.
"Oh, the Dongjiang Army is well-equipped. Eunuch Jiao and I were surprised and couldn't help but take a look. General Mao laughed!"
"I dare not! Mr. Zhang said yesterday that the merit test and pension was a major event in the court. Mao had already prepared the roster and team. Let's start?"
"Mr. Mao, I just talked about that yesterday, and I won't be able to test my merits..."
Before he could finish his words, Mao Jue's loud voice had already started.
"Soldiers, the angels of the court represent you, reward me for the army of Dongjiang! Brothers! Show your pride and offer me merits to the two imperial envoys!"
It was a grand performance. More than fifty snare drums were beaten by more than one hundred strong men at the same time. The two imperial envoys' faces twitched. Tens of thousands of troops knelt down on one knee in one knee, shouting in the mouth.
"Long live your Majesty! I have seen the imperial envoy!"
This time, Mao Jue spent a lot of money when the two imperial envoys arrived. Almost all the farming and construction of the entire Tieshan Mountain was stopped. All ten thousand soldiers were registered. The people in the world were really respectable and awesome. The shouts shocked the two eunuchs who had never seen the world and turned pale.
After the military salute, before the two of them waved their hands and said something like that, according to Caodian, the Tieyi Warriors had already stood up and retreated to both sides in an orderly manner.
Immediately afterwards, a limping military man leaned on a flintlock rifle, followed by the first team of more than 30 soldiers who gave up the avenge from the middle, and walked out with a proud aura. Although many of these people were still hanging bandages on their arms and limping, the fierce murderous aura and the style on the battlefield were respectful to the people. In the eyes of the two imperial envoys, the lame man, who was leading the lame man proudly threw a flag in front of the general. The soldiers behind him also threw the dry heads and broken flags in front, then turned around and followed the lame soldier and bowed together.
"Biaoxia Zhao Tiehan, with the personal army team of Zhao's camp, met with the imperial envoy. Biaoxia led his troops to fight under the city of Dalinghe on August 24th. He first broke the Zhenglan Banner Armor and Cavalry Army and killed eleven enemies. Then he followed Master Mao to attack Jiannu's camp at night. He broke the Zhenglan Banner, Zhenghong Banner and Zhenghuang Banner four Niulu, beheaded at level 21, and offered twelve heads and four flags. The list of our troops' deaths is an episode. Please check it!"
The book of the book, which recorded the number of casualties, was handed over to the imperial envoy's entourage, and immediately, Zhao Tiehan limped down again with arrogance.
Afterwards, Pang Dahai was cushioning again, holding two flags in both hands, and walked up with two whistles under his command.
"The flag is that the Niulu, the deputy general of Tieyi, fought in the city of Dalinghe on August 24th, and the flag was that the Jiannu Zhenglan Banner Niulu's first-level Niulu's first-level flags and four flags..."
Although he agreed to let the credit for Zu Dashou, Mao Jue still had to be on guard after all. What if they were too real and they really gave all the credit? You know, in this battle, more than 2,800 elite soldiers of the Iron-Ren Army were killed in battle, and almost everyone was injured. It was really the price of blood. Even Mao Jue had no right to deny the blood skills of his subordinates!
There were quite a lot of heads and flags brought back. Team after team came forward to praise the merits. After a long time, Jiannu, who was dragging the pig's tail, had his head and various Eight Banners flags ignited by the war, piled up into a pile of hills, with ferocious dead faces and blood-stained flags. Zhang Yuanwailang and Jiao's eunuch had already turned pale, and the list of dead flowers was also matched with Dongjiang military origins.
"Do you dare to ask the two adults whether there are any mistakes in Dongjiang's merit book and pension book?"
The last team of personal soldiers retreated after merging in front of the stage. Mao Jue shouted loudly and loudly again in front of more than 10,000 people in the army, and bowed heavily to the two trembling imperial envoys.
"That, General Mao, I, my official and Eunuch Jiao, no, no problem was found!"
"Okay, since that's the case, please send rewards and burn 91,300 taels of silver according to the rules!"
"Thank you Your Majesty, and thank you for the rewards of the two imperial envoys!"
The martyrs holding the urn, the scarred soldiers and the comrades watching from behind were kneeling on one knee like a mountain collapse and yelling with weapons on the mountain to thank him.
Now, the two imperial envoys were stunned. Even Eunuch Jiao, who had just shouted that he wanted to give Mao Jue good looks, had a loose face and blood-colored face, and time and space seemed to have frozen there.
After a while, Lord Zhang then sadly pulled Mao Jue's arm, who was bowing with fists and said stutteringly.
"Mr. Mao, don't you have that much money?"
"Ah? Lord Zhang, the court rules, Mao is not wrong! How many are there?"
"Ten thousand taels..."
Zhang Yuanwailang's voice was almost as low as the ground, but immediately, Mao Jue's voice was so high that it was incredible in the sky, and Mao Jue shouted loudly.
"What, only 14,000 taels! Our troops fought for the court, and there were thousands of people who died. This was not enough to burn the silver! How did Mao reward the soldiers?"
"Ten four thousand taels!"
There were also officers below, and the soldiers started shouting in disbelief. Liu Chong, the personal barracks, roared in anger among the crowd.
"I tried my best, and I was hit by three or five arrows and chopped six Tartars. In the end, the court could not even reward one or two taels of silver!"
"My son listened to military orders and died on the battlefield for the Ming Dynasty. He didn't even have a ounce of silver to burn and bury the pension. How can we orphans and widows live!"
"I was stabbed eleven times and fought to the death. I almost killed the Dog Tartar Emperor. That's how the court treated us!"
In an instant, an emotion called the collapse of faith spread throughout the army, and the entire Iron-Ren Army became turbulent. In addition, the officers deliberately did not restrain themselves, and tens of thousands were filled with shock, anger, disappointment, and sadness. They were crowded toward the General Station.
"How can it be so few?"
"Master Jiang! The young man is loyal to his duties! How can I live in the future if my legs are ruined!"
"The court does not give people a way out!"
"Join a soldier and earn salary! The court is so mean! I'm quitting!"
This scene was exactly the same as a mutiny, and some people rushed up with weapons. The eunuch named Jiao was so scared that his legs were soft and he sat on the ground. A hot and coquettish yellow robe spurted out from his crotch, and the Lord Zhang also thrust suddenly in front of Mao Jue, holding his thigh sadly and timidly.
