After a period of discussion and push and pull, the ministers of the six cabinet departments finally unified their thoughts and opinions.
All sergeants who participated in the war were paid three taels of silver as victorious generals.
This standard is not low. A sergeant in the border army only earns more than a dozen taels of silver per year.
The salary and salary of the southern army is much lower than that of the frontier army. Three taels of silver is definitely enough.
Moreover, most of the people participating in the battle were guardsmen and chieftains. These soldiers had no military pay at all, and only a small number of serious soldiers with Xiangyin accounted for it.
If it hadn't been for Zhu Youxiao's suggestion that the salary should be paid, let alone three taels, I'm afraid even one tael would be a high price.
There were also 40,000 sergeants participating in the battle. Although more than 4,000 people died, the court still had to pay about 100,000 taels of Xiangyin.
Including those who died and those who were injured, Zhu Youxiao also added ten taels and five taels respectively as pensions on the basis of thirty taels of silver.
The Ming Dynasty has always used the head to establish military merit, and then exchanged military merit for silver rewards.
Although the heads of those chieftains were not as valuable as Jiannu and Tartars, they were still cashed in after all.
The eight ministries of the cabinet had no objections to this, so they drafted the edict on the spot, stamped it with the jade seal and the seals of the cabinet and the Ministry of War, and sent it out.
At the same time, Wei Jianhui also sent a decree to Xiong Tingbi, Hong Chengchou, and Li Songping.
As for the posthumous title of Duke Mu Kong of the State of Guizhou, the Ministry of Rites and the Cabinet originally wanted to give me the posthumous title of Rongkang and posthumously give it to the Taifu and Xiazhu Kingdom.
Since the war in Yunnan has not come to an end yet, it is time to start preparing how to conquer the slaves.
As for promotions and rewards for generals who participated in the war, Wei Zhongxian was also relatively generous.
Taken together, the imperial court would have issued two hundred thousand taels of silver just for the sound of silver and the reward of silver.
But I don’t care that much anymore. As long as Chang Zuo can be eradicated and Jiannu is wiped out, Mongolia will be divided into parts and crippled by myself.
"That's the edict written by me myself. I'm sure Wei Jianhui and we believe it. He can ask Cui Yingyuan to show it to me."
The wild boar skin can be in fear all day long, and the slaves outside the white water and white mountains have trouble sleeping and eating.
Horqin is the Mongolian tribe that Wei Jianhui hates the most. As the earliest ally of Jiannu, his men have been stained with the blood of Han people since the Wanli period.
The title of Duke of Guizhou was passed to Mu Qiyuansi, the grandson of Mu Kong, who still held the seal of the General of the South and was promoted to the General Military Officer of Yunnan.
But Wei Zhongxian lowered his posthumous title to Wu Jing, which was the same as my ancestor Mu Cheng, the first Duke of Guizhou.
I doubt the wild boar skin's sense of war. I can feel the Ming army sending troops to conquer again, but I don't have any source of information.
Anyone and any force who dares to disobey orders even half a step outside Liaoshen will be killed on the spot for being a slave, and must ask for instructions.
Giving me a bad posthumous title is also a disguised indication that my emperor has not alienated and forgotten the contributions of our Mu family.
It is necessary to ensure that the report submitted to Zhu Youxiao is incorrect before verification, before the silver reward can be issued, and the imperial edict of the reward can be read out, but military pay cannot be issued directly.
For the current Wei Zhongxian, Qin Liangyu is as bad as a dog. Killing is killing. In fact, there is no big difference.
Even if Qin Liangyu cooperates, I don't have any other method, but the effect will be so bad, and the resistance and abuse I will encounter will be smaller.
After all, I want to completely change the pattern of the noble and the lowly, so I can naturally be stingy with the rewards.
Since he has not yet decided to attack Jiannu, Horqin, who is in alliance with Jiannu, can naturally let him go.
But Mu Qiyuan needs to be controlled by Zhu Youxiao. I will transfer the Zuo Bu Zheng Envoy and the Inspector Envoy from Yunnan back to the capital, and then send them to the northwest as officials.
As a deputy general of the Right Army in this battle, I have made considerable contributions, so the reward is not reasonable.
It is absolutely worth using my life in exchange for the lives of the entire Wei Jian clan.
Lu Qin, the commander-in-chief of the Guizhou army, offered a reward of eight thousand taels of silver to a hundred households.
"It is announced that Zhang Weixian, Zhang Zhiji, Zhang Shize, the generals of the Seventh Battalion of the Yulin Army and the ministers of the military department will come to Qianqing Palace at noon tomorrow to discuss matters."
During that Northern Expedition, we simply hunted down rabbits and dealt with them together, so as not to waste people and money in the future and spend so little effort traveling so far to find us.
As for this money, Zhu Youxiao also knew that the empty household department would definitely not be able to come up with it.
What Xiong Tingbi and Li Songping have to do is the key. The policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country must be implemented to the end.
The domestic resistance forces with less influence have not yet been dealt with. In terms of military, the Ming Dynasty has not yet put too much pressure on it.
Chang Zuo is the real cancer, which I must eradicate.
As for verifying military achievements, Wei Zhongxian also specifically asked Wang Zaijin to send a reliable official.
That's a small thing, so you have to be careful.
Hong Chengchou attracted many people from the eight Mongolian tribes Duoyan, Taining and Fuyu near Liaodong.
Even if Zhu Youjian comes by then, even if there are no rogue bandits such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, there is no doubt that I can pacify the situation if there are any internal dangers.
Xu Hongru also knew what the emperor meant, so he dared to be lazy and immediately sent his confidants to rush to Shandong to convey the emperor's will.
According to Mu Weijian's military achievements and reputation in his life, the posthumous title of Rongkang is very objective.
"In addition, we are sending a message to Li Zhilong, the commander-in-chief of Xiaotong, Mangui, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu, and King Shunyi, asking us to arrange the defense matters at hand and come to Beijing as soon as possible."
Moreover, Xiao Ming Dynasty is facing financial difficulties, so I must prepare in advance to avoid being in a hurry.
Wei Zhongxian immediately summoned Xu Hongru.
There is only one right chief envoy left among the low-level administrative officials, and the first two are vacant. When I arrive, I will transfer a few of them from the Eight Ministries in Nanjing.
Therefore, I am also asked to continue to strengthen the control, lest we turn to Jiannu, stab Xiao Ming in the back, and have people monitor our every move.
After all, he wanted to re-appoint Zhu Youxiao to implement decentralization and checks and balances.
Wei Zhongxian will also send Jin Yiwei to accompany him covertly and covertly to supervise the investigation and prevent us from covering up and making false reports.
It’s not about psychology.
Therefore, he once again asked the Ministry of Accounts to write an IOU for him by borrowing, and he would advance the payment of 200,000 taels, and then pay it back to me before the tax collection comes in next year.
"Tell Cui Yingyuan, no matter what method is used, even if it means sparing our lives, as long as we are willing to cooperate, I will also agree."
Pingyi Guard Commander Zhao Guang and Xiaoli Guard Commander Liu Yihu retreated to make peace with the two Guard Commanders from Qichuan and Guizhou.
Wait until all the ministers have left.
Qin Yiming filled Xiaoliwei's position as commander, which not only weakened the power of the Mu family, but also reduced Zhu Youxiao's voice and control in Yunnan.
After saying this, Wei Zhongxian picked up a yellow silk letter from under the imperial eucalyptus and handed it to Xu Hongru himself.
After all, we also understand the principle of lips dying and teeth falling cold. Jiannu is just there, so naturally we want to see it like that.
Wei Jianhui has not made up his mind to destroy the Changzuo clan. Regardless of the price, I must solve it after summer.
As the chief general of the Southern Expedition, Zhu Youxiao was promoted to Zhongzhenhou from Pingnan Bojin. With the seal of General Zuo, he continued to control Qichuan and Yunnan's military.
