While waiting, Chen Jiawu asked someone to bring Zhang Xianzhong over.
Zhang Xianzhong was also dizzy at the moment.
"Are you Zhang Xianzhong?"
Chen Jiawu looked at it, but he couldn't see through it as before.
"Yes, General!"
Chen Jiawu asked: "What did you commit?"
Zhang Xianzhong said: "Take the lead in raising wages. We haven't paid wages since the beginning of the new year! We used to have a few cents of money, but now even these few cents of money have been withheld. There is no money, so who the hell is willing to do it!" I took the lead in this matter! It has nothing to do with anyone else!"
Chen Jiawu said: "It's wrong to deduct military pay! It's wrong to cause trouble! But it's always because of the deprivation of military pay. I left the town of Yansui Town! Nothing like this will happen from now on! You will be a soldier of the third regiment for the time being. ! I have other plans later!"
He said and asked Li Hongji to take Zhang Xianzhong away.
The two rebels, both nineteen years old, met in this way in this time and space, and became brothers in the army.
Zhang Xianzhong looked enviously at Li Hongji, who was wearing new clothes, and said, "Brother, you look very energetic in this outfit!"
Li Hongji nodded proudly and said: "You have it too! After you settle down in a while, I will take you to get it!"
He said with a smile and scolded: "Damn it, you have better luck than me! I begged my grandpa and grandma yesterday to join in. Damn you, the general just said a word and you came in! This military stick is worth it!"
Zhang Xianzhong said in surprise: "You came in yesterday? Who would be willing to be Qiu Ba if you weren't desperate! I'm going to go out and try my best after being beaten, why are you still begging to come in?"
Li Hongji snorted: "What do you know! We are not just ordinary Qiu Ba! We are the emperor's own army! The most powerful army in the world! We are a team dedicated to benefiting the people of the world! The treatment is even better! Damn you It’s because you are in the midst of blessings and don’t know how blessed you are!”
Zhang Xianzhong was shocked.
"The emperor's own army? The most powerful army in the world? Don't coax me every day!"
Li Hongji said angrily: "I'm coaxing you? Come on, come on, I'll talk to you!"
"Our team..."
Li Hongji turned into a mouthpiece, and Zhang Xianzhong was stunned for a moment!
…
Outside the city, the sky had darkened and the cold wind was howling. The soldiers in ragged clothes were huddled together and looked numbly at the makeshift platform.
There were more than twenty boxes on the stage at the moment. In front of the boxes, Chen Jiawu stood there.
Two hundred soldiers stood around like javelins!
They stood very neatly, with their heads held high and their chests raised. Each held a firecracker beside him, the tip of the gun flashed with cold light, and the height of the firecracker almost reached his shoulders!
The remaining five hundred militiamen also lined up neatly on both sides!
Regardless of men or women, everyone has a long sword hanging on their waist, and they are very energetic!
Li Hongji, Li Guo, and Zhang Xianzhong, who had just joined, were also standing in the militia at the moment!
Being among them, the three of them were all frightened and stood up straight in imitation!
Seven to eight hundred people stood silently and silently!
A powerful aura filled the air unconsciously!
The 20,000 frontier troops, Wang Wei, and even the other generals who were guarded aside were shocked by this momentum and fell silent!
Wang Wei was shocked in his heart!
Such a powerful army is truly unheard of!
Chen Jiawu holds a loudspeaker.
"Brothers! I am the newly appointed governor of Yansui Town, and my name is Chen Jiawu! As entrusted by your majesty, empress, and Zhongyihou, please come and visit my brothers!
Your Majesty and Your Majesty know that everyone is having a hard time! I also know that everyone’s family members, relatives and friends are having a hard time! Therefore, I have come with my will! "
Chen Jiawu's opening remarks made many border soldiers look a little angry!
What such a big official said was so heart-warming.
Everyone listened more carefully.
Chen Jiawu said: "Now that the country is in a difficult situation, I have brought the five hundred thousand taels of silver raised by the empress. We have fifty thousand soldiers in Yansui Town. These five hundred thousand are twelve taels per person! No matter how much salary was owed before, these ten taels Even if it’s an end! There will be no arrears or deductions from now on!”
The 20,000 border troops were shocked!
One person is actually given twelve taels!
And the general didn’t even keep a penny for himself!
Chen Jiawu said: "Everyone comes up to collect military pay according to the establishment and the general flag as a unit! Distribute it on site!"
In the Ming Dynasty, a general banner managed fifty soldiers, while a small banner managed ten people!
Everyone simply couldn't believe their ears, but soon more than 400 general banners came to the stage one after another to take the money!
In full view of everyone, the money was distributed one by one!
Many frontier soldiers were so excited that they shed tears!
Chen Jiawu said: "There are still 30,000 brothers scattered in various border forts, and these soldiers' salaries will be distributed to everyone one by one!"
"Deputy General Wang! Immediately send troops and horses to convey the news to each fort, and carry money according to the number of people! I have something to say first, no matter who dares to get a cent! Kill without mercy! The personnel will receive it from just now Choose among the sergeants who have received military pay!"
Wang Wei took the order and made arrangements!
Soon the remaining 300,000 taels of silver were divided into hundreds of parts, and were escorted by the soldiers who had just received the silver.
This arrangement also prevents anyone from causing trouble, and the border defense area cannot be arbitrarily moved!
Chen Jiawu and others all went and said loudly.
"We are all good men who protect our home and country, but we wear tattered clothes, carry rusty weapons, and live a life without enough food and clothing. Our families and children also suffer with us! Your Majesty My mother-in-law asked Benjiang to give you a message!"
“It’s a shame for everyone!”
Following Chen Jiawu's ordinary words, the border troops at the scene became excited!
Everyone is excited!
"Long live your Majesty!"
Long live the Queen!
The sound lasts forever.
Chen Jiawu waved his hand.
"We have all had enough of this kind of hard life! Now this general is here! I want to lead everyone to live a good life! The entire army will be changed from now on to the Yansui Army! It is the personal army of His Majesty and the Empress! The total number of troops has been tentatively determined There are 20,000 people! The assessment will begin again tomorrow, and those who pass will enlist in the army to contribute to the country!"
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar below!
This means that of 50,000 people, 30,000 will be laid off soon!
Although he often didn't have enough to eat as a frontier soldier, he still had military pay to a certain extent and could barely support his family.
Especially now that the emperor's own troops are coming, it seems that good times are coming!
Now that it is about to be abolished, how will it make a living in the future?
"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me!"
Chen Jiawu shouted loudly, and the crowd fell silent.
"Don't worry, everyone, even if you are eliminated, you will not lose your livelihood! We will organize everyone and set up farms one by one, and the empress will exempt them from tax for one year, and then the local tax will be 10%! We will cancel the labor and other messy things Expenses! We will also set up steel mills and textile factories, and everyone can work in the factories!"
"Those who fail the assessment will be drafted into the militia and enjoy the court's subsidy! Three cents of silver per month! If drafted during wartime, they will be treated the same as regular soldiers, and in future recruitment, priority will be given to selecting from the militia!"
Chen Jiawu explained in detail, and said that the Queen’s support would continue to come! Everyone is relieved!
With uneasy hearts, we each returned to our places.
Next, what happened to Tianjin Wei Liu Ping happened again in Yansui Town.
Almost from top to bottom, no one of these generals is clean!
Except for Wang Wei, the plot is relatively lighter!
Of course, this is also relative.
A group of people were killed and a group of people were exterminated by ransacking their homes. Naturally, Chen Hongfan was also among the group of people who were killed!
Zhang Xianzhong also asked Chen Jiawu for mercy.
Chen Jiawu was naturally unmoved.
Yansui Town changes overnight!
