"The more you make it up, the more outrageous it becomes. You still have something to rely on. What an old fart!"
"That's right, I haven't even seen military pay in a few years. I don't have any worries yet. Damn!"
"..."
Lan Tianbao's face turned red when he heard the scoldings from the other side. He turned back and shouted to his comrades: "Tell me, how is the Duke treating you? Tell those thieves!"
However, the bandit army was making a loud noise. Although he was already loud, his voice was covered up and did not reach his own army at all.
Throughout the battlefield, there were still shouts and curses from thieves.
Seeing this, Lan Tianbao was very helpless. I thought to myself that I tried my best, but in the end I lost this morale battle!
But it doesn't matter, just turn around and see the real chapter under your hands.
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a horse galloping from the north. It immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the two armies.
It can be seen from the flag carried on the horse's back that it is a messenger delivering news.
When the officers and soldiers of the imperial court saw it, they were a little worried. Could something have happened somewhere?
Anyway, at this time, things were happening everywhere in Daming, and they were all used to it!
As for the bandit army, they almost have the same idea. Therefore, each of them was very happy to watch the arrival of the messenger.
"General, I guess the city was captured somewhere else!" Niu Jinxing said to Li Zicheng with a smile.
Li Zicheng listened, smiled, nodded and said: "At this time, it is impossible for the court to have good news!"
After hearing this, Niu Jinxing saw the messenger running straight under the commander's flag on the opposite side. He suddenly had an idea and shouted loudly: "If you have the ability, read it out and listen to it. I'm afraid the emperor has come to ask for help again?" "
When the other thieves heard this, they all gloated and shouted: "Read it, if you can, just read it!"
On the side of the officers and soldiers, Zhang Mingwei ignored the arrogance of the thieves on the other side and looked at the messenger flying over.
"My lord, this is the latest newspaper. There is something important to be announced!" As soon as the messenger arrived in front of the handsome flag, he got off his horse and handed over a mailbox with both hands.
When Liu Jin next to Zhang Mingwei saw it, he immediately stepped forward to take it, turned around and handed it to Zhang Mingwei.
Seeing this scene, almost everyone on the battlefield turned their attention to Zhang Mingwei. Everyone wants to know, what is this urgent matter?
However, the mood of the concerned people present was completely different. The officers and soldiers of the imperial court were naturally worried; but the bandits were gloating about the misfortune.
However, one thing was the same. They all fell silent in unison because of anticipation.
After Zhang Mingwei took it, he unfolded it and took a look. He felt happy, but he didn't show it.
Opposite me, Niu Jinxing opened his eyes as wide as a bull's eyes. He didn't notice that the other person looked very happy. His heart moved and he shouted loudly: "Read it, if you have the ability, read it out and listen!"
In a quiet environment, he suddenly said such a voice, which immediately caused the thieves to all gloat and shout: "Read it, if you have the ability, read it out and listen!"
When Zhang Mingwei heard this voice, he thought to himself, this is what you asked for. So, he handed it to Liu Jin and told him: "Let Tianbao read it loudly!"
When Liu Jin heard this, he felt happy. Because he knew that this must be a good thing, otherwise the master would not have let Lan Tianbao read it in public.
So, he became excited, immediately rode over, handed the newspaper to Lan Tianbao, and shouted loudly: "Master said, let you read louder."
As for the bandits, they really didn't expect that the officers and soldiers on the opposite side would actually want to read. For a moment, they all fell silent and wanted to hear what the news was.
Song Xiance had been stroking his long beard, looking cool and content. But when he saw this scene, he immediately frowned, turned around and said to Li Zicheng: "General, our army's morale is now high, why don't we just give it up and start a war?"
After hearing this, Li Zicheng waved his hands and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, what good news can the court have so far? Anyway, no matter how good the news is, it will not affect the morale of our army, so you might as well listen to it!"
When Song Xiance heard this, he wanted to say more. Niu Jinxing beside him stopped and couldn't help but said: "Why, the general doesn't listen to him anymore?"
"..." When Song Xiance heard this, he was immediately speechless.
He turned around and thought about it, and felt that Li Zicheng was right. Even if it was good news, such as a victory in the battle, or a city being recaptured by the imperial court, it would not affect the morale he had already raised.
Thinking like this, he didn't want Li Zicheng to think too much, just listen to what he wanted to hear.
Seeing Lan Tianbao unfolding the newspaper and preparing to read it, the soldiers of both armies fell silent and listened.
I just heard Lan Tianbao try his best to read loudly: "There is a new volume in the "Military Code" of "Da Ming Code", called the Regulations on Pensions and Preferential Treatment for Soldiers..."
Needless to say, the main content of this Di newspaper is that Emperor Chongzhen listened to Zhang Mingwei's suggestion and stipulated the pension and preferential treatment for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in a legal way, so that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty could have no worries and conquer the world. world!
Therefore, when Lan Tianbao read it out loud, the first people to react were the imperial officers and soldiers.
Zhang Mingwei had actually mentioned the contents of this newspaper before when he was in the wounded barracks. It didn't take long for his statement to spread throughout the army.
They believed what the Duke had promised in public, and they also expected it. However, they never heard the Duke mention this matter again. They didn't care at first and were busy preparing for war.
But today, when the bandit opposite suddenly started to mention things from previous years, although most of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court trusted the Duke, they were unable to refute the bandit. After all, what the duke promised in public has not really become known to the public, and no one believes it even if he says it!
In addition, of course there are some people who, because of their previous experiences, are somewhat reluctant to believe that such a good thing can really happen!
But now, they suddenly heard the imperial report. In fact, they didn't care where they heard it from. The most important thing was that the "Da Ming Code" was revised and the content promised by the Duke was added. This is a sure thing. Something like this will definitely happen.
Understanding this, no matter how strict the military discipline is, they can't help but get excited! If it weren't for the fear of not being able to hear the content behind it, many people would want to laugh out loud.
As for the stray thief, he was dumbfounded.
Just now, I was just mocking the imperial court for treating them like pigs and dogs, but in the blink of an eye, they actually revised the "Da Ming Code" and specifically added regulations on pensions and preferential treatment for soldiers!
Listening to the information announced in the form of laws, which guaranteed the treatment of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the treatment of the disabled and old, they would be weird if they were not stupid. This was not what they imagined at all. The court!
If the imperial court really wants to treat soldiers like this, who would be stupid enough to rebel at the risk of killing the nine tribes?
If the thieves who were far away could not hear clearly, then Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi and others could hear it most clearly. It can be said that they were the most shocked by what Lan Tianbao read.
Subconsciously, they felt that this must be fake. Therefore, Yuan Zongdi didn't wait for Lan Tianbao to finish reading, and shouted sternly: "Fake, this must be fake!"
Lan Tianbao ignored him at all. Apart from being shocked, he was more excited and felt good. Didn’t you just accuse me fiercely? Okay, then just keep your ears open and listen.
"Impossible, this is impossible, this must be fake, you are lying!" Li Guo also shouted loudly, "If you have the ability, do you dare to show it to me?"
He was interrupted again by a thief, which made Lan Tianbao very unhappy. When he heard Li Guo's words, he stopped reading. Instead, he took the Di newspaper and raised it high, as if he was raising a flag of victory: "Open your eyes wide and read carefully. The writing is clear in black and white." Chu, how could it be false?"
Seeing the movements of the few people in front of the two armies and the excitement of the imperial officers and soldiers, many thieves believed it. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the imperial officers and soldiers to behave like this.
Thinking of this, many thieves are still a little unbelievable. Especially the cavalry among the bandits, especially because they had many backgrounds as border soldiers, they were most shocked by the sudden preferential treatment given to soldiers by the imperial court!
Next to Li Zicheng, Song Xiance had already regretted it deeply. He should insist on not letting the imperial officers and soldiers read it. Now it's better. The morale of our own side that was boosted before, and the morale of the other side that was suppressed, are all reversed.
Anyone who is not blind can see that the morale of the officers and soldiers of the opposite court has soared because of this news. This is extremely detrimental to the upcoming war.
Moreover, Song Xiance had a deeper worry, fearing that the court's new regulations on pensions and preferential treatment for soldiers would divide and disintegrate the rebels.
The news said that the "Da Ming Law" had been changed. If it was a lie, it would be easily exposed. Therefore, although this may sound unimaginable, it is definitely true.
But during this war, how could everyone in the army think that this was true?
Therefore, Song Xiance quickly shouted: "It's fake, it's fake, don't believe it!"
The other bandit leaders also understood that something was wrong, including Li Zicheng, whose faces were gloomy. Many of them shouted: "Fake, fake..."
There are a lot of people on the bandit side, and even if only a small number of people make such a noise, Lan Tianbao can't stop reading because it's too noisy.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Mingwei smiled faintly. Does the thief want to rely on his loud voice again? Okay, let me show you.
So, he ordered to the left and right: "Send my order to the generals. Let's sing "Defend the Yellow River" together to let the thieves know what we do!"
Although he thought it might be a bit embarrassing, Zhang Mingwei still felt that singing together at this time would definitely be the best counterattack against the noisy thieves.
