"It's really inappropriate for the emperor to look down on us like this. Why don't we make some noise and let the emperor see our strength? Then the emperor will give us a silver reward, and more!"
Jiang Wei whispered in the middle of the servants.
"Brother Jiang, just tell us what we should do. The white silver and yellow gold will make everyone jealous!"
A guard under Jiang Wei said in a low voice.
When he spoke, he wiped his mouth and made an expression as if he was about to drool.
"I want to make a fuss, but the money has been distributed. Even if we make a fuss, the money will not be in our hands. Once those military households are in a hurry, they will be in trouble. If the gold and silver are still there, If we make a fuss, the little emperor will give in, and we won't each get one thousand eight hundred taels."
Jiang Wei said with red eyes.
"There are so many. The most military households only have more than 300 taels each. How can we make trouble up to 1,800 taels? I don't believe it. Brother Jiang is talking nonsense."
Jiang Wei brought another Jin Yiwei and said, his face full of disbelief.
"Shut up, we are all soldiers, and many of us have horses. Once there is a riot, the emperor will shower us with a lot of gold and silver to appease us. Anyway, we in Ningxia Town are going to make a riot. , didn’t we just make a fuss when we paid our last respects, it was no big deal, but when we made a fuss, didn’t Emperor Wanli just send us the money?”
Jiang Wei licked his lips and said.
Kuaibai is the Battle of Ningxia among the three major campaigns of the Wanli Dynasty.
Jiang Wei plays a general from his hometown who participated in the Battle of Ningxia. What he is talking about now is the issue of the troops making a fuss over pay after the farewell ceremony. Many people know about this matter. Those people made a fuss about pay, but in the end they received nothing Punishment, but what they didn't know was that someone had embezzled military pay that time, and the people who made trouble with the pay were all military households in the imperial court's staff, and they were not the same as them.
Just when everyone was excited, a man with a yellow beard and yellow hair squeezed in and said: "Brother Jiang, we just went to urinate and saw dozens of carts of gold and silver being pulled here. It’s full, at least several million taels.”
What he was talking about was the gold and silver sent by Cao Huachun. These gold and silver were not given to them, but to reward the imperial army. They should be given to the guest army first and then to the imperial army. They would never be given to the servants. This is what Zhu Yuanzhang determined for Zhu You. Strategy.
In fact, the equipment of the Ming Dynasty's imperial army is also incomplete, and it is similar to that of the guest armies. However, the night before, Zhu Yuanzhang had sent people to bring equipment for hundreds of thousands of people from the early Ming Dynasty. These equipment were used by their troops to retreat. It came down, but by the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was still excellent equipment, not much worse than what the servants and generals used.
Moreover, those imperial troops had already changed their equipment before, and they had been fed with wine and meat before, and now they were waiting to share the silver reward.
After seeing the silver reward from the guest army, they all thought that their own family would not be less than a hundred taels of silver. These people are now grateful to Zhu Youjian, but they are not as grateful as those from the guest army. After all, they have all seen the world. .
"Do you want to do this or not? With millions of taels of silver, each person should at least be at least a few hundred taels. Don't forget, if you want to get promoted and make a fortune, then kill the officials and rebel and wait for recruitment. If we make a quarrel, we can all get rich, no matter what. Whether you are making trouble or not, I am going to take action. I am not afraid of the Eight Banners soldiers, so why should I be afraid of these people?"
Jiang Wei drew his sword in his hand and walked forward slowly. Behind him were many Jin Yi guards, all of whom had their swords drawn in their hands.
"If you want money, pay for it!"
Everyone said so.
"But what about the generals? They didn't say anything?"
The servants who were not burned were paying attention to them, and all of them were hesitant.
"Generals, hey! Look at the rewards of this little emperor. The generals should be able to ride horses and hold beauties now. They have gone to enjoy the wealth and wealth. We are still here drinking from the northwest wind. Anyway, I want money. It’s useless for anyone to come.”
Jiang Wei waved the steel knife in his hand, whirring, and many people gritted their teeth and followed him.
They think Jiang Wei is right. Now those generals have to be high-ranking officials, ride horses, and hug beauties. But they risked their lives, but they got nothing. This makes them very sad. Now only gold and silver can Make up for this sadness.
Many confidants and generals stopped them and said to them, don't forget that we and the generals are either natives of our hometown or from the same branch. If we make trouble, we will become rebels, and our families and generals will also fall. It's not a good thing. Besides, the new gold and silver may be for them. Everyone is enduring it. The court will not lose the hero.
These people were right. These servants were all members of the same clan in their hometown, so they endured it and wanted to see if the gold and silver were for them.
Jiang Wei didn't stop him and said smoothly: "You are right, we can't cheat our own family."
But in fact, Jiang Wei almost went crazy laughing. These people were already tempted. Now that they said they couldn't cheat their own family, they were just waiting for an excuse. As long as they knew that the gold and silver did not belong to them, but to Those who are incompetent to imprison the army will definitely start a riot if they find out that all the military leaders are under house arrest. Jiang Yu dares to guarantee this with his head.
In fact, except for Chongzhen, everyone else knew that they wanted to kill these servants this time. It was best to kill the generals together. Even if they couldn't be killed, they had to break their habit of cultivating servants.
Servants are really not good people. These people are private armies. For every dynasty, the central army is not as good as the private army. That is a dangerous signal. What the emperors took turns to do at the end of the Five Dynasties gave all the emperors a warning. Wake up.
Wanli is not afraid because he has the Zhejiang army left by Qi Jiguang. However, in the bloody battle of Hunhe River in the past few years, the Zhejiang army was completely wiped out, and not even the seeds were left. Even though Wei Zhongxian tried to reorganize the Zhejiang army more than once, he did not can succeed.
Reorganizing the Zhejiang Army is one of the reasons why Wei Zhongxian must die. The Zhejiang Army only listens to the emperor's orders, and is extremely capable of fighting. If it hadn't been tricked by Liaodong's civil and military officials and soldiers, the Zhejiang Army would not have been killed. .
They wanted to support the bandits and respect themselves, and wanted to use this war to fight for their right to speak in the government, so except for the Zhejiang Army, they did not expect that the huge Ming Dynasty would eventually die from the scabies caused by the Jurchen Rebellion. inside.
But now the main world has arrived and wants to deal with the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty, and they are the first to be dealt with in this troubled times!
