Chapter 449: Dare to Be the First in the World (Third Update)
"Does the emperor remember that you once promised that if the Northern Expedition triumphed, you would marry those border soldiers?" Liu Hong gradually stopped arguing with Huang Degong and said.
Just now he just mentioned it to Huang Degong, but Huang Degong blew up on the spot.
The emperor gave the big head soldier a marriage certificate? Don't mess around, if this matter reaches the court, it is estimated that the impeachment of the two of them will have to be pulled by a car!
The military generals have a low status in the Ming Dynasty and are looked down upon by the civil officials, if they still instigate His Majesty to do such unseemly things at this juncture, aren't they looking for trouble for themselves?
"Oh? Why didn't I remember agreeing to this? Chongzhen said with an innocent face.
"Ah...... That...... It was the minister who agreed for you, and you didn't object, how can you forget? The big words were blown out, and Chongzhen didn't admit it, which made Liu Hong a little crazy.
Why don't you admit it when you put on your pants, who did you learn from?
"Oh, I guess I didn't hear it that day, how could I have agreed to such a ridiculous thing? Liu Qingxiu wants to talk nonsense! Chongzhen pretended not to know, picked up the tea bowl to cover it up, and suddenly felt that he had drunk several bowls just now and his stomach couldn't fit it, so he put it down again.
"Your Majesty, you can't trap the ministers, but the ministers have all let out the words, so you can deign to ......" At this point, how could Liu Hong not know that this uncle did it on purpose.
It is estimated that he didn't let him drink just now, which made him feel unhappy, this is revenge!
Bad old man, very bad! The heart is so small, and he is still the emperor!
But Liu Hongjian had no choice but to plead.
The words were said by him, and the was blown out, and those big-headed soldiers were looking forward to it!
Chongzhen didn't make a sound, just picked up the tea bowl and took a small sip of tea, while sipping the tea leaves, and said in his heart that this Shanhaiguan Cha is really unpalatable, and I am going to drink and vomit.
"There aren't many people, help, make a cameo, how about the emperor?
I beg you, those big-headed soldiers are so miserable, most of them died in this Northern Expedition. "Well, look at it like this, I really made the uncle angry just now, and Liu Hong gradually had no choice but to continue to say good things.
That is, those bitter big soldiers, if it is this group of big bosses in front of him, he can't pull his face.
"Okay, okay, even if I agreed, I'm very tired, you Aiqing should go back to the camp early!" After Chongzhen finished speaking, he sighed softly and got up to leave.
Of course he was joking, and Liu Hongjian was also convinced, he sighed because of those soldiers who died in battle.
Why not be a witness? But now that he can't even give the bereavement rewards of the soldiers who died in battle, he feels guilty!
The generals at the table left one after another, and after a while, only Liu Hongjian and Huang Degong remained.
"Lao Huang, I'll give you a secret, the imperial court Taicang Silver is a little nervous, and it is estimated that it will not be able to give all the rewards to the soldiers." Liu Hong gradually said softly.
"Isn't there at least 10 million taels left in the treasury? How many count, the soldiers of this expedition are very hard, at least it can't chill the hearts of the soldiers! "Huang Degong also knows how big the cost of this war is, but the Inspector has said so, what can he do?
"Alas, Lao Huang, you don't know, the treasury is still nearly 20 million taels, but the Ming Dynasty is so big, digging canals in the north costs a lot, and the southern Cao Yun also has to build a lot of construction, plus General Qin is still using troops in Shu, and silver is needed everywhere......"
If you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, Liu Hongjian really understands this now, silver is the same as later generations, and it doesn't go through flowers!
The root of the problem is still to earn less, the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty is so little, the north and the south use troops at the same time, and also engage in civil engineering and water conservancy projects in the mainland.
"The reward can be slowed down, and the official will also make it clear to the soldiers that there will be no problems in a short period of time, this is this pension...... This can't be delayed! Huang Degong frowned.
He can still hold on to the money of the living, after all, the court has never treated the soldiers badly for more than a year, but if the silver of the dead cannot be given, it will really chill people's hearts.
"The pension silver will definitely be handed over to you as scheduled, and this reward silver, the official will also find a way not to hide it from Hushan, and the official will go back and plan to attack the nobles." Liu Hong gradually groaned and said.
More than 36,000 soldiers were killed in the Northern Expedition, and the bereavement was about 18 million taels.
Silver is needed everywhere, and if you want the household department to give all the silver to the border army, it is estimated that you will have to fight with Ni Yuanlu, the secretary of the household department.
Lack of silver, Your Majesty, if you don't carry this pot, you will lose your trust in the soldiers!
"My lord can't help it, I am resting with the country, and the nobles are intertwined, and they have long been inextricably linked with the royal family, don't you move them to pry the foundation of the Ming Dynasty? It's too dangerous, and the emperor will definitely not agree. ”
Huang Degong was frightened, although those old nobles had not contributed to the country, they were very capable, and in order to consolidate the relationship and tie each other, the seven aunts and eight aunts were all gone.
For example, the empress of Emperor Chengzu is the daughter of Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, and the subsequent royal family is all with the blood of the Xu family, and the Xu family has married other princes, in the final analysis, this is all their family's business.
You are an outsider, what do you care about?
And according to the temperament of the Inspector, this matter is not intended to be dealt with gently, can the Inspector fight so many relatives?
"The emperor will agree, the roots of the Ming Dynasty are already rotten, why don't you get rid of them and keep them?
, *******, as long as the emperor is willing to give up, even if his head is broken and bloody, this official will definitely fight with this so-called noble class! ”
If you don't cut off the stubborn disease of the Ming Dynasty, even if the people's army is wiped out and the Jianyu is destroyed, in a few years, the Ming Dynasty will become the original bird again!
Isn't it funny that peasants don't have land? You make them funny, and they'll you!
I have worked hard for more than a year, but not for a few years of peace, if I don't get rid of these vampires, I will be dragged down and dragged to death sooner or later.
is still the same sentence, through a clan, there is no cowardice, afraid of a bird, it is not a big deal to run away, with his ability, where can he still live freely?
"*******, *******......" Huang Degong muttered repeating what Liu Hongjian had just said casually.
Yes, adults can be the first in the world at such a young age, but the old man is greedy for life and afraid of death in this Qi Qi Ai, he is really old and old, and the more he lives, Huang Degong slapped himself hard in his heart.
"If the adult insists on acting, the subordinates should advance and retreat with the adult!" Huang Degong got up and bent down to salute, he was only grateful before, grateful to Liu Honggradually for pulling him when he was in the most danger, not only pulling but also lifting him up.
But now Huang Degong is because of respect, dare to be the first in the world, and dare to be the enemy of the people of the Ming Dynasty!
Although tens of millions of people have gone to me! The big deal is death, and I dare to do it in Huanghushan!
At this moment, Huang Degong's heart was heroic, and he was as full of blood as when he was young.
"Don't be like this in Hushan, maybe you won't get to that point, it's not too early, let's go and rest!"
