The large campus is now full of people. The people in the capital have surrounded the place. In the campus, people from all the armies also know that all the officials have been placed under house arrest in the East Factory. At the same time, We also know that the emperor is coming to directly reward the three armies.
Except for a few of the troops that came, the others were divided into two classes: servants and ordinary soldiers.
The servants were all around thirty years old. They were all big-shouldered and round-waisted, wearing helmets and armor, and their faces were all shiny. At first glance, they looked like well-fed and well-fed elite soldiers and generals.
As for the ordinary soldiers, they were all sallow and skinny, and they were not fully clothed or equipped with weapons. Moreover, they were all old and young, with few young and strong. Moreover, there were many female soldiers among them. They all painted their faces pitch black and hid in the crowd, not even daring to raise their heads.
These female soldiers are not Hua Mulan who joined the army for her father. They are all soldiers with no children at home, and they are all regular registered soldiers.
Regardless of what people in the Ming Dynasty said about the bad military households, the military households were able to eat and have food, although the rice contained more stones, gravel, and chaff, and the money issued was also less. , but no matter what, you can still eat enough, and military households can still study.
Zhang Juzheng, the last powerful prime minister of the Han people, was born in a military household, so the status of military households is still not low, but the military household class has now declined.
These people are now divided into two groups, standing separately, neither of them interacting with each other. Since both sides are not familiar with each other, how can they possibly have a conversation.
Those military households are all soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and those servants are the personal influence of the generals. If this happened in the Hongwu Dynasty, Lan Yu would definitely be against Tianqu. To put it bluntly, his adopted sons and these servants are all the same. Everything is private power, but he died, but these people were tacitly allowed.
This is truly an injustice.
At this time, Lan Yu had already taken his adopted sons and private soldiers to infiltrate those military households. They all came from the troubled times of the late Yuan Dynasty. It was no problem to put on makeup and pretend to be run-down military households. Yes, and where they are from, they say that they are the defeated army under the command of the General Soldier of Manchuria and Guangxi in Datong.
When they said this, all the military households were in awe. All the towns in Jiubian knew that Mangui died in the battle, and they also knew that Zhao Lejiao of Guanning died in the battle. These two are true heroes. These The military households admired them very much, but they really looked down on Yuan Chonghuan and the others.
However, when they heard that Yuan Chonghuan was beaten with a hundred imperial sticks by the emperor, and both his buttocks were beaten to pieces, but there was no harm, they all sighed. He is also a good man, but he is short-minded!
Even though these people are from poor military households, many of them are also literate. After all, there is a special health school in the guard station to teach the children of military guards to read, so they all know the truth.
Now that they come here, they feel like they are just doing a formality. Those rewards are definitely not for them, they are all for the generals and their private soldiers. They only hope that they can get some leftovers by then. A little reward will be enough. If you have a few cents of silver, you can buy a few clothes for your family. They don't expect anything else.
These words made Lan Yu, the Grand Governor of Zhu Biao's Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, have red eyes and break several of his teeth with anger.
I feel resentful in my heart. Those civil servants and military generals really all deserve to die. All the guards in the world have been destroyed in this way. The army of the imperial court has become a beggar, but the private soldiers of the military generals are proudly claiming their merits. This is unreasonable. of.
In fact, if he had known that the elite troops under Li Zicheng who later rebelled were all veterans of the Shanshan Guard, he would have understood that it was not that the guard had collapsed, but that someone had a dark heart.
Otherwise, they are all the same veterans of the garrison. How come they are incompetent burdens in the hands of the imperial court? But when they are under the command of Li Zicheng, who is well-fed and well-fed, they become invincible old soldiers. To put it bluntly, it was Li Zicheng who took care of these soldiers at that time. The veteran looked at it as a human being.
Lan Yu walked to a deserted corner and told Zhu Biao and the others everything he had heard. Finally, he asked when he would be able to kill those beasts. He wanted to skin all those people and turn them into adults. Leather pillow!
Lan Yu is Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law and a person who came out of troubled times. He knows what those people with weapons will do when it is hard to even have a full meal. Those people can change the color of mountains and rivers and move them. bit.
When he adopted those young officers as adopted sons for Zhu Biao, he knew that this was a crime of treason, but as long as Zhu Biao was around, he would be fine. But no one thought that Zhu Biao would die. In the past year or so, Lan Yu has also read a lot of history books, all of which interpreted the Lan Yu case from various aspects.
He didn't know how many times he looked at it before he came to the conclusion that he really deserved to die.
He never complained about Zhu Yuanzhang for his own murder. Zhu Yuanzhang was right. The Yuan Dynasty failed in lenient and the Ming Dynasty should continue to be fierce. But now the Ming Dynasty will also lose in lenient, but the lenient in the Yuan Dynasty was for the people. Control was weak, and the leniency in the late Ming Dynasty was detrimental to the control of officials, nobles, and wealthy people, especially those in Jiangnan.
"We should have killed Liu Ji back then and beaten Jiang and Zhejiang to death completely!"
Lan Yu ended the call with this sentence.
When Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang said this, they both laughed bitterly. This was the battle between Jiangzuo nobles in the early Ming Dynasty and the literati from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Originally, it was nothing, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the literati from Jiangsu and Zhejiang destroyed the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, this The words were extremely harsh.
From Li Shanchang to Hu Weiyong, and then to Lan Yu, they have worked tirelessly to suppress Jiangsu and Zhejiang. If they don't care about anything, looking at it now, these people are still right. This person in Jiangsu and Zhejiang cannot be in power!
Zhu Youjian also heard these words. He said nothing, but gritted his teeth and looked at Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru, both of whom were from Jiangsu and Zhejiang!
Now he can't wait to lead one hundred thousand troops to cleanse Jiangnan. They have mentioned all the rich people in Jiangnan, the luxury of maritime merchants and salt merchants, and the output of Jiangnan workshops. It seems like everyone in the world knows about it except him.
This makes him, the leader of the Ming Dynasty who eats bran-thick vegetables, feel so embarrassed. Those rich eunuchs before have already made him envious, but now Jiangnan directly makes him want to kill people.
He is still thinking about the words of the contemporary uncle Xin Xin. If all the taxes in Jiangnan can be collected, there will be no 50 million taels of silver!
Fifty million, if he had fifty million, he could kill Huang Taiji and his backend with the money!
