C22 (2/2)
Hee Chong was very pleased with the father and son's shocked look. He cupped his fists and said, ”Lord Zhu, the most important thing to do now is to pacify the military, eliminate the Ma family's remnants and use a reliable person to lead the army.”
Now that the matter had been settled, everyone was on board a boat. There were only two tests left. The first was a soldier. Even if the soldiers were in chaos, the Emperor would not be able to protect them. The second way is the emperor, the emperor's past, everybody good we are good together.
Zhu Hongzhao held a silver ingot in each hand. His small body was trembling with excitement as he asked: ”How many soldiers are there?”
”Commander leads three thousand men, of which one thousand are cavalry. However, there were still a lot of gaps, with only a little more than 1,500 soldiers and a little more than 3 horse soldiers. There are also two hundred servant s, each with three over officers, all of whom are elites. ”
Hee Chong laughed coldly as he said, ”Now that the military camp is separated, this lowly officer recommends that the lord disintegrate. To expel all of them, and to select people with courage and prestige from the soldier s to take over the position, he would be the elder of the Daizhou Palace for the time being. If he hesitated, there would be a commotion in the army. We only have a little more than a hundred people in our division.
”Alright, alright, I'll do as you say.”
Zhu Yisu's scalp went numb when he thought of the army. Zhu Hongzhao saw his father being led by the nose by Liu Tie again. He couldn't help but feel anxious as he turned around and shouted, ”Sun Tie, bring your brothers in!”
The young and tender voice, Liu Tie and the seven servant s were also stunned when they entered the room. Under the candlelight, the silver in the boxes refracted with an enchanting brilliance, causing their blood to boil. They looked at Zhu Yisu and then looked at Hee Chong.
”Call Guo Liang, Liu Liangzuo, and the others over and move the silver to the barracks outside the castle …”
Zhu Hongzhao secretly observed Hee Chong. Seeing that Hee Chong didn't oppose his father and son bribing the garrison, and instead praised him, Zhu Hongzhao was very curious. In his opinion, Hee Chong was born to be formidable and ruthless. He was ruthless and did things shamelessly, not wanting to be compared to a scholar. Why would he sit there and watch his father and son use money to bribe the military's hearts?
He had a nagging feeling that Hee Chong was using him and his son. Once the father and son lost their value, Hee Chong would kick them without any hesitation. That's why he was in a hurry to bribe the garrison. With the garrison in his possession, he could make Hee Chong afraid of 12.
”Erlang, I'm afraid there's something wrong with that. soldier is the soldier of the imperial government, how can father and son pay him off? If the history of the dynasty, the places that are in charge of the minister and the soldiers or the various masters of the Dao know that the father and son are conspiring against us, it would be difficult for us to discern them! ”
Zhu Yisu was a bit pedantic. He knew that his son's method was the most practical one. He could use private money to pay, but there was only a thin line between it and conspiring.
”Father, are you unwilling to part with this silver?” If the soldier in the camp were to fall into chaos, before the Son of Heaven has decreed his death, Er Lang and his father will definitely die tragically at the hands of the Profound Spirit Sect's deceased! ”
As the father and son were arguing, Guo Liang and the others also came. Zhu Yisu waved his hand and said through gritted teeth, ”Move the silver and go to the military camp outside the castle!”
Dozens of people carrying crossbars on their shoulders and carrying chests of silverware loaded on ox-carts rushed to the military camp outside the castle.
The campsite was brightly lit. More than two thousand soldiers were waiting there quietly. Their commander had been captured, and they were all concerned about their own fate. There were already rumors in the camp that Ma Chengxuan had conspired against them and they might have committed the same crime.
Conspiracy was a huge crime. If he couldn't get a reasonable explanation for it tonight, these guys would most likely be involved in a mutiny.
”The Son of Heaven believes in Ma Chengxuan Meng. He is Commander of the East Road. In order to profit from personal gains, the servant had taken over the military's grain fields, forcing the military to turn into mounted bandits and robbed the passing merchants, this was a heinous crime! This is a dereliction of duty, the first offense! ”
”The second crime is to delay the soldier's pay and extort it from the outlaws! To eat and drink to their fill, and to use the imperial government's food rations to raise the servant, this is the army of greed! ”
Zhu Yisu was filled with righteous indignation. This was the rule of his Zhu Family. Looking at the soldier dressed in tattered battle jackets, he felt a raging fire burning in his chest. I am Zhu Yisu, from the Great Ming Sect, and I am a good resident of the Xinping Fort by the grace of His Majesty. Seeing him in such a mess, the soldiers of Border Town, I hate him for his greed, and I feel heartache for the bodyguards of Border Town! ”
Zhu Hongzhao made a gesture, and a box of silver taels was moved onto the platform. Opening the lid, the charming silver color caused the soldiers below the platform to feel their blood boiling, each and every one of them had a fervent look in their eyes.
Previously, they only thought that Zhu Yisu wanted to use his words to comfort them, but they didn't expect that he would reward them with real money this time around. Thus, they all calmed down. These soldier were already numb to Zhu Yisu's emotional outburst, treating it as farts.
To be a soldier was only for the sake of filling one's stomach. Otherwise, who would be willing to lift their own head to become a soldier? But it was already common for them to eat and drink. What could they do?
Team 1 soldier began restructuring. Many of the military officers began reorganizing their troops. It was for the benefit of 3 taels of silver after the reorganization, which was only 91 taels of silver per month for the officers in the servant.
From servant, he took out 200 contribution points to the cavalry unit and set up a temporary 5-horse cavalry unit. Hee Chong and 78 Tippers who were willing to break away from the secret service of the Ming Dynasty system to take control of them and Hee Chong as the cavalry unit.
In addition, there were three infantry Deputy Chiliarchy s, each with a little over four soldier s. The servant led the troops that came with the Daizhou and chose the two hundred strongest men to be Zhu Yisu as the servant. They were trained by the one-eyed old man, Chen Xuanguang.
Under Zhu Hongzhao's instructions, Sun Hee picked two teenagers to accompany him. As long as he could get past this hurdle, he would find a place to play around with it. With these youngsters around, he would be able to solve the problem of technological innovation.
The only bad thing was that no matter what happened, Zhu Yisu refused to guarantee him the position of vice commander of a thousand men, and there was nothing he could do about the position of a Level 1 Warrior. He could only get one sixth rank position and it was still a trial.
There was no difference between giving it a try or giving it a real one. If the emperor failed, everyone would have to finish it.
