When Chongzhen saw this scene, he really had mixed feelings. When he was in power before, why weren't these guys so united and dedicated to the country?
On the contrary, this treacherous son used coercion and inducement, and used despicable tricks. These people actually agreed with him and obeyed him. They all wished they were more submissive than the chamberlains in the palace, but this made Chongzhen very depressed.
Is it possible that some of these bastards are just counting each other, and they are just bullying the weak and afraid of the strong? Is there no way I can negotiate with them and either directly use factory guards to raid their homes, or use benefits to win them over? Other methods are simply ineffective against them?
Chongzhen felt that he had to continue to observe for a while. At least before moving to Nandu, he had to take a good look at the many methods of this traitor, so that when he arrived in Nandu, he could have a clear target.
"I am not a mean person. If I can treat the people well, I can naturally treat you well. As long as you are loyal to the court in the future, it will not be difficult to pay for this golden mountain. Because no matter whether you are a minister, a general, or even a merchant, as long as you fulfill your duties If you work hard and work hard, you will be rewarded. If you work against the will and take advantage of others, not only will you not make money, but you will also risk your own life. Take the Ministry of Industry as an example. What is the construction quality of the Beijing New City project that the Ministry of Industry is responsible for, and whether the process is If there is corruption, whether Donglu's details have been sneaked into the construction site, whether it is the Metropolitan Procuratorate or the factory guard, they will screen it. If the supervision of the Ministry of Industry is not effective, then Zhang Guowei, Zhang Aiqing, I will hold you accountable first, Anyone who is involved in the new city project from the Ministry of Industry personnel below Zhang Aiqing will be subject to strict investigation. The lightest punishments range from being demoted or promoted to official positions, to the more severe ones ranging from confiscating their homes to being dismissed! However, I am very benevolent and will not easily execute those who are greedy for ink. He will not be allowed to die directly before he goes to Shandong to mine to pay off the full amount of money he has committed. His family members will also have to go mining to atone! Women of appropriate age must be sent to the Jiaofang Division, so that the atonement will be faster. On the contrary, , if the Ministry of Industry can complete the project progress in the autumn, the amount of silver awarded to Zhang Aiqing by this palace will not be less than 5,000 taels. Officials from the Ministry of Industry who participate in the project will receive rewards of different amounts. Whether it is the Ministry of Industry or the imperial court All yamen will act in this way. Calculate according to departments, projects, and individuals. If all three are in good condition, it will be a heavy reward. If there is a discrepancy in one of the items, then you must inquire clearly. For merchants, you can also enjoy this Treatment. I will not reward you in particular, but as long as you operate in compliance with the law, I can ensure that your shops will not be subjected to the situation of being cheated and cheated. If anyone dares to do this, just report it to the founder of Dongchang Wang Shide of Huahua or Jinyiwei will be fine. Once verified, he will be severely punished. In addition, all military supplies purchased by the imperial court will be purchased through bidding. The winning merchant will be fully responsible. If the quality, quantity, and supply time can be guaranteed, , in the future, you can get long-term orders from the imperial court, which will ensure your harvest despite droughts and floods, and the price will be fair, so that your work will not be in vain. On the contrary, if I let you know that you even have military supplies, I will let you You all understand that shoddy goods are tantamount to the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason! I believe that no one standing in the Huangji Palace is a fool, and no one wants to be criticized. In this case, I hope you will do your best. I You naturally know very well what kind of person he is, and there is no need for me to elaborate on where you are going."
Before you split the money, give these NPCs a good shot of vaccination so that you don't complain later that you didn't warn them in advance. This is all negligible hindsight.
Although he has to give the dumper a huge amount of 10 million taels of silver, through this method, a certain prince will soon receive 7 million taels of silver, and he will receive this amount of money every year for the next nine years. It can be considered a very stable income.
With this money, at least there will be no problem in supporting the East Palace Guards and the remaining servants and maids in the imperial city. If there is a gap in the household department, they can also provide timely support. But it cannot be given, it must be borrowed. A certain prince does not have much surplus food here.
"There are more than one giant gold mountain here in this palace, and there are more than one projects that can make a lot of money. From now on, everyone in the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the imperial court or you, can make money from it. The way to make money is also very simple. , I just said it, and you all know it well. Father, do you need to add more to the edict?"
In the opinion of a certain prince, the second court meeting was very successful. At least the father and son did not fight each other and let others watch the fun. This means that everything is fine.
"...No need! If there is nothing else, you can retreat!"
Chongzhen had no intention of speaking, but he was complaining in his heart. This traitor was so eloquent that even Shenzi had to say what he had to say, why should he add something to it? After saying that, he led his queen to the back mansion.
Through yesterday's lesson, Chongzhen also realized that since he had not been awake for long, he was still not fully aware of the major events that had happened in the past few days.
It is very irrational to choose to attack rashly again, and it will be taken advantage of by this traitor, especially since this traitor has some tricks, so he chooses to settle the matter.
"You merchants can go back immediately and report this matter to your colleagues in the Chamber of Commerce. At the latest at Unity Time the day after tomorrow, that is, before five o'clock in the afternoon, you must hand over the list and money in full. Ai Qing, whose name was called, stayed. I also want to say that Aiqing, whose name was not called, can resign on her own initiative."
A certain prince still has some things to do, so he won't let everyone leave immediately. The specific matter cannot be said in front of everyone at this time.
The merchants knew that this was a huge business opportunity. Not to mention the golden mountain thousands of miles away, just by seeing the trains, railways and glowing electric lights, they could smell the smell of silver and immediately bowed and saluted. Then resigned.
More than half of the people whose names were called, and the rest who were not called were the ministers who chose to support the emperor yesterday, but these people can understand.
After all, they will follow His Majesty to Nandu in a few days, so the affairs in the capital have almost nothing to do with them.
After all the other people disappeared from Huangji Palace, a certain prince said to these people: "You may not know why I left you and others behind. In fact, it is very simple. I have always had a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. Yesterday you chose to support My Majesty, I will not treat you badly today. Just now, I talked about the overseas Jinshan incident, and you all intend to buy shares. However, I think your family backgrounds must be slightly different, so I will take the first place for you. The five thousand taels of silver for the year have been paid. There is no need for you to return it. It is regarded as a reward for you. From now on, as long as you are loyal to me. The remaining nine years of silver will need to be borne by you. As long as you obey my orders and Okay, this money is not difficult to raise. If a civil servant wants to make money, it is very simple. All he needs to do is be diligent and self-disciplined. I don’t have to work every day. I have at least one day off a week, and you can also meet the holidays designated by the court. Rest. It’s easy for a general to make money. If you guys can’t defeat the real Tatars, why can’t you defeat the pseudo-Tatars? What are the ‘pseudo-Tatars’? They are the Han banners of the Donglu and the so-called ‘God’s Blessing Army’ and 'Heaven helps the army'! Don't tell me, you and other officers and men can't even beat them to pieces! I don't ask you to touch an egg against a stone to defeat the main force of the Eight Banners of Donglu, but at least you must be able to Pick the weak persimmons and crush the Han Banner, the 'God's Blessing Army' and the 'God's Blessing Army'! If you can't even defeat them, what's the use of the imperial court raising you and other troops? What are the conditions I have given to you and others? It's very rich. A pseudo-Tatar is worth one hundred taels of silver, but you must have a whole corpse to exchange it, especially their armor. Don't bring a bunch of naked dead people to ask for payment from this palace. I will think that the pseudo-Tatars entered the customs naked to steal our clothes!"
After saying this, a group of military generals couldn't hold back any longer and laughed loudly, expressing their determination not to kill a good man and take credit for it. This trick could not fool such a shrewd prince.
If it is true what the prince said, and everyone just tidied up the Han flags and the "Tian Bless Army" and "Tian Bless Army", then this battle would really be a dozen.
They are indeed afraid of the vicious real Tatars from the bottom of their hearts, but as for the "pseudo-Tatars" mentioned by the prince, they will not tolerate them as long as there is a chance.
If it weren't for the real Tatars and the pseudo-Tatars who were mixed together, everyone would have dared to kill these intimidating people. Killing one of them would mean getting a hundred taels of silver.
Team up to pinch the weak persimmon?
Don't say it!
This trick can really make money!
Killing a hundred pseudo-Tatars is ten thousand taels of silver!
In fact, the fighting power of the pseudo-Tatars is not low, but compared to the real Tatars, it is far behind.
After hearing the prince's strategy, all the generals expressed their overwhelming agreement and believed that this was how the battle should be fought.
First gradually eliminate the real Tatars' lackeys, and then slowly deal with the unscrupulous real Tatars. This is the most correct tactic against the enemy.
"There is a saying that to capture the thief first, capture the king. No matter which of your troops, as long as you can kill or capture alive one of the fake 'Three Shun Kings', I will reward you with two hundred thousand taels of silver! Capture and kill the fake 'Xu Shun' Lord Shen Zhixiang can receive a reward of one hundred thousand taels of silver!"
Three years ago, in 1636, Huang Taiji conferred the title of "Three Shun Kings", namely "King Gongshun" Kong Youde, "King Huaishun" Geng Zhongming, and "King Zhishun" Shang Kexi.
Then there is Shen Zhixiang, the son of former Dongjiang Commander-in-Chief Shen Shikui, who later shamelessly led his troops to defect to Huangtaiji, and then became the braided "Xu Shun Gong".
"Capture the 'Duke' and 'Angbang Zhangjing' at the rank of general officer, and you will be rewarded with 100,000 to 60,000 taels of silver depending on their first, second, and third levels. Capture and kill the 'Mele Zhangjing' at the deputy general level. , depending on its first, second and third level, the reward will be between 50,000 and 30,000 taels of silver. Capturing the participating generals and the guerrilla level 'Jia La Zhangjing' will reward 20,000 taels of silver depending on its first, second and third level. Ten thousand to ten thousand taels of silver. If you capture and kill 'Niulu Zhangjing', you will be rewarded with five thousand taels of silver."
The middle and senior officers with braids are called "One Future" or "One World Job" based on "Niu Lu Zhangjing", and "Half Future" from "Niu Lu Zhangjing" onwards.
Regardless of whether it is a real braid or a fake braid, only by making a great contribution or accumulating several small merits can one obtain the promotion of "half a future" or "a future".
There are thirteen levels of generals starting from "Niulu Zhangjing", which can stimulate braided officers to make more military exploits, but only very few can climb to the top.
Only the "Three Shun Kings" can enjoy top-notch treatment. Even the "old Han soldiers" generals who served for the Chicken Wings more than ten years ago are few and far between.
But when it comes to a certain prince, I'm sorry, but for the generals of the Ming Dynasty, there is no military exploits without business, and they need boxes of silver to encourage them. A certain prince happens to have a lot of silver...
"If you are more capable and courageous, and can capture and kill the true Tatar banner leader, they are called 'Gushan Ezhen', I will reward you with one million taels of silver and the title of earl, hereditary rebellion. ! If one of them, Huang Taiji or Dorgon, is captured and killed, I will reward you with two million taels of silver and the title of marquis, hereditary rebellion! How about this? Is this palace’s reward generous enough?”
After a certain prince offered a reward in this way, he prevented the occurrence of the private release of high-ranking generals on the battlefield. Although this possibility is very small, because Wang Shi was defeated, but what if this rare situation occurs? Capture and kill one of them!
The braids would never be able to offer such a high reward, especially since a certain prince wanted the "Sanshun King" to enjoy the master's "warm hospitality" after entering the customs, so he had to concentrate his superior forces to attack these fake braid troops first!
"Everyone, remember this, when you go to the battlefield in the future, whether you are a general or a soldier, what you will see is not the enemy, but piles of movable silver! The higher the target level, the more valuable it is. After killing it, After snatching the corpses back, I will buy the corpses of the Tatars from you all at once! And there is no upper limit on the quantity. I will buy as many corpses as you can snatch back from the battlefield. All will be paid in cash. There is no limit to the number. Delinquent!”
Treating the results of the war as a business, that is, a certain prince can do this, but the scapegoat father certainly does not have the courage and financial resources.
This is where the price is clearly marked, and Huang Taiji has no choice but to do it, because even he himself has been marked with a price, two million taels of silver, which is a huge sum of money!
How many generals of the Ming Empire relied on Huang Taiji to make their fortunes...
Yaoji VS Huangtai Chicken!
This is destined to be a war between rookies!
But with money, things will change a lot!
When mercenaries from Europe can be introduced in large quantities, then a certain prince's "special business" can be launched...
It is estimated that after general mobilization, the entire braided army will number about 250,000, and the total amount will not exceed 50 million.
This means that a certain prince has the ability to pay the full price, and no matter which friendly troops get the results of the battle, they can exchange it for cash with the certain prince.
In the book, it is easy and the cost is not very high, but on the battlefield, it is very difficult to achieve. After all, the braid will not let you be hacked to death!
It would indeed take hundreds of millions of taels to eliminate the braids in the entire Northeast, including the Monan Meng ancient servant army that had attached themselves to Huang Taiji!
Such a large military expenditure can only be reimbursed in full by the overseas golden mountain located on the island of New Guinea.
"Your Highness is unmatched in benevolence and righteousness!"
"Your Highness is unmatched in benevolence and righteousness!"
"Your Highness is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness..."
Seeing Bentou, the prince paid him a down payment, which was so kind. The generals also paid him a favor in time, and the reverberation lingered for a long time.
"I will inform you of the details of how to deal with the Tatars when the time comes, and reward orders will be issued to all ministries later. At this stage, you must train your soldiers to ensure combat effectiveness, and you must not disturb Min, let alone Qi Zuikong behaves as virtuously as he does, otherwise don’t blame me for being ruthless. Before tomorrow, that is, before one o’clock in the afternoon, if I don’t send someone to summon you, then you can return to your respective camps. Because my father is awake , I will send some fruit pulp to reward the army in the name of my father, and you will wait and see. That's it, except for Zheng Zhiwan and Zheng Sen, if others have nothing important to do, they can retreat!"
One ticket is worth five thousand taels of silver. I paid you a down payment. This is considered worthy of you. How you behave in the future is your own business. I will naturally make clear rewards and punishments.
