Zhao Junchen's vigorous promotion of his military achievements is of course to inspire the confidence and courage of the border troops in various places, but there is also a deeper intention, that is, to reverse his reputation and establish prestige.

After all, in the eyes of officials, soldiers, and people in Shaanxi and Gansu, Zhao Junchen's image is just a corrupt official who is good at managing money, and now that Zhao Junchen is in charge of the overall situation in Shaanxi and Gansu, there will inevitably be many people who despise Zhao Junchen and doubt Zhao Junchen's position and ability, and even some people will deliberately disobey Zhao Junchen's orders because of prejudice in their hearts.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen can only make everyone believe in Zhao Junchen's ability only by vigorously publicizing his military achievements and creating publicity for himself, and Zhao Junchen will also get twice the result with half the effort when he expands his power and controls the overall situation in Shaanxi and Gansu in the future!

*

For Zhao Junchen's order, Hong Gaogong was also prepared, and soon ordered people to send the heads and prisoners of the Mongols.

Among them, some heads and prisoners were brought to the hall and handed over to the civil and military officials of the Huamachi camp for a visit.

Zheng Yu, deputy commander-in-chief, Qian Bao, general of staff, Bao Hongjie, garrison officer, and others, have fought with the Mongols for many years, and all of them are experienced veterans.

After the heads and captives of the Mongols were brought into the hall, they got up and gathered around the captives and their heads to carefully inspect them, and soon confirmed the authenticity of the captives and their heads.

Then, the generals looked at each other, and their faces were incredulous.

With these more than 600 heads and more than 80 prisoners, even if Zhao Junchen's record is exaggerated, there will definitely be no false thing about defeating the Mongolian cavalry with fewer victories in field battles!

But when did the Mongols become so vulnerable? Zhao Junchen is just a civilian official, and he still has the ability to lead troops to retreat from the enemy? Not only did he lead his troops back from the enemy, but also set a record of such a rare victory that had not been seen in several years?

Thinking of this, several generals were in mixed moods - because they suddenly discovered that Zhao Junchen, a civilian official, had surpassed them in martial arts and military exploits!

In addition to their complicated moods, their views on Zhao Junchen have also quietly changed.

Although the trilateral military town has been extremely erosive, it still retains the concept of respect for the strong in its bones.

If it was said that in the past, they were only afraid of Zhao Junchen's power and methods, but after confirming Zhao Junchen's achievements and military exploits with their own eyes, this fear has turned into awe, and they no longer dare to underestimate it.

On the other side, Zhao Junchen looked at the generals with a smile, and waited until they finished checking before asking, "How is it?" Can you check it out? Can these heads and captives be faked? ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, several generals shook their bodies, only to find that their actions seemed to question Zhao Junchen's intentions, and they hurriedly complained to Zhao Junchen.

Zheng Yu, the deputy commander-in-chief, hurriedly said: "It's not that I doubt Lord Qincha's merits, it's just the first time I have seen so many Mongol heads and captives, and I feel a little excited in my heart, and I can't help but want to take a closer look, I can't help but lose my advance and retreat, and I hope that Lord Zhao will forgive me!" ”

Counselor Zheng Bao also said repeatedly: "These heads are real!" The captives are also real! There is no cheating! Where would the lowly people dare to doubt Lord Qincha...... It's just、I just want to take a closer look at the immortal feats of Lord Chincha! ”

Then, the garrison officer Bao Hongjie and all the thousands of households also expressed their positions, saying that they did not suspect Zhao Junchen's intentions, and said that these heads and captives were indeed true.

Zhao Junchen's expression was still serious, and he said slowly: "Even if you are suspicious, Ben Qincha will not have any blame!" After all, in the past few years, the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu have had a poor record against the Mongols, with fewer victories and more defeats, and it has been a long time since there has been such a record. I just want you to know that the Mongols are now menacing, but they are not invincible! Benchincha can defeat them! You can beat them too! ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's statement, all the generals were all chattering, but the civil officials were much more clever, and they were scrambling to compliment and curry, or to praise Zhao Junchen, or to ask for credit to the court for Zhao Junchen, or to say that Zhao Junchen would definitely lead the Shaanxi-Gansu border army to defeat the Mongol army.

However, Zhao Junchen quickly raised his hand to stop everyone's flattery, and said: "Now the defense of Shaanxi and Gansu is not optimistic, and Mongolian cavalry enters and plunders almost every day......

When the officials finally quieted down, Zhao Junchen continued: "Let's talk about the third thing, when Ben Qincha was in Shanxi, in order to stimulate the morale and determination of the Shanxi border army, he formulated a series of reward and punishment orders, and now Ben Qincha has taken over the defense plan of Shaanxi and Gansu, and these reward and punishment military orders will also be implemented in the Shaanxi and Gansu border army. ”

After speaking, Zhao Junchen nodded at Su Xiqing on the side.

After seeing Zhao Junchen's signal, Su Xiqing immediately came out of the queue, and took out an official document and read it aloud to everyone.

"From now on, all the heads of the Mongols will be handed in, and the silver reward for military merit will be raised from three taels to ten taels! At the same time, those who kill the heads of innocent people will be killed! Those who withhold the rewards of the soldiers will be killed! Whistleblowers will be rewarded! Anyone can supervise! ”

"From now on, whenever the Mongol army attacks the city and holds on until the reinforcements arrive, the officials and generals in the city will be credited with merit! If you defend the city for more than ten days, you will be credited with an additional merit every two days, and there will be no cap! The soldiers in the city who bravely defended the city were paid five times as much! At the same time, those who lie about their war exploits will be killed! Those who deduct the salaries of soldiers and soldiers will be killed! Whistleblowers will be rewarded! Anyone can supervise! ”

"From now on, all soldiers who are wounded in battle will be treated by the imperial court, and according to the severity of the injury, the imperial court will subsidize the silver ranging from three taels to thirty taels! All soldiers who died in the war will have five years of tax-free grain at home, and a one-time subsidy of 50 taels of silver will be given by the imperial court! At the same time, lie about the dead and wounded, and there will be no mercy! Whistleblowers will be rewarded! Anyone can supervise! ”

"From now on, all generals and soldiers who encounter the enemy in the field and bravely participate in the battle will be rewarded with double the silver for military merits! Anyone who flees the war without permission will be killed! Whistleblowers can be rewarded as appropriate! Anyone can supervise! ”

At the beginning, when this series of military orders was announced in Shanxi, everyone was amazed by Zhao Junchen's rich military achievements.

Now, within the yamen of the Trilateral Governor's Palace, everyone's reaction is the same!

Unlike Shanxi, the people of Shaanxi and Gansu were poorer, and the silver was more valuable, and these military rewards sounded even more astonishing.

After Su Xiqing finished announcing, Zhao Junchen said slowly: "The rewards for military merits in this dynasty have always been rich, but for various reasons, the rewards that should be issued are often delayed and deducted, and there are even border soldiers who have not received their due rewards at all...... By now, the imperial court has lost its credibility, and although Ben Qincha has set a more generous reward for military merits, the soldiers of the border army are inevitably suspicious when they think about the past situation! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen's eyes slowly scanned the crowd, and his eyes were full of warnings.

Seeing Zhao Junchen's statement, everyone present was expressionless, as if they couldn't understand the deep meaning of Zhao Junchen's words, but most of them were a little embarrassed in their hearts.

Over the years, the salaries and rewards of the border army have been repeatedly delayed, deducted, and disappeared, to a large extent, because of the layers of deduction, embezzlement, and embezzlement of these people.

It is precisely because of them that the credibility of the imperial court in the border army has long been exhausted, and no matter how rich the military merit rewards promulgated by Zhao Junchen are, it is difficult to win the trust of others, and it is difficult to achieve the goal of stimulating the morale of the border army.

However, now is not the time to turn over old accounts, if Zhao Junchen wants to achieve the goal of stimulating the morale of the border army, he must also find a way to clean up this mess for them!
