Emperor Chongzhen saw another side of Jiang Dong by eavesdropping on the seeds, and he didn't have any dissatisfaction, just sighed, no one in this world is a fool!

This Jiang Dong had a conflict with Jiading Bofu because of his sister-in-law's affairs, and he was bold enough. You know, it's the queen's maiden home and the prince's grandfather's house.

But it's good, I like it!

For Jiading Bofu, although Emperor Chongzhen has a relationship with the queen because of the fusion of memory. But based on the impression of later generations, at this time, he was still very dissatisfied with Jia Dingbo, that is, the father of the queen. When the country was in crisis, not only did he not help, but he was extremely stingy, and even betrayed his nephews in order to protect himself. Such a person is as cold as the famous water, and even more than that.

Wait, sooner or later, you'll have to clean up this house!

Emperor Chongzhen thought so and put this matter behind him for the time being, because he had already arrived at the barracks at this time.

This time, he did not come first, but someone had already come to inform him in advance, and all the soldiers lined up on the school field where the cold wind was howling according to their respective belongings.

Emperor Chongzhen ascended to the platform and glanced at the four guards and one battalion in front of him, that is, the left and right guards of Tengxiang, the left and right guards of Wuxiang, and the selection and training battalions of the Yongwei battalion and the selection and training camp. According to the establishment, the number of the four guards army was about 20,000 people. The selection and training camp was composed of 6,000 people from various officials in Beijing and the guard. However, as far as I can see, there is no such number at all, and it is estimated that half of them are overestimated.

Even so, among the soldiers in front of me, the old and weak accounted for about one-half. There are even some old and weak, wearing tattered military uniforms like beggars, which can be seen to be the dignified guards of the Son of Heaven, the forbidden army in the forbidden army!

That is, the Yongwei Battalion can, more than 10,000 people, and now they are fighting outside, which is a real elite.

Emperor Chongzhen remembered clearly that in the past, he had not inspected these armies under the command of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. But what I saw at that time was that they were all full of personnel, and there were no old or weak soldiers, all of them were majestic and high-spirited.

Obviously, at that time, when the original Emperor Chongzhen was about to review the army, Wang Zhixin found someone from elsewhere to fill in the number and put up a façade for him to see. If it weren't for the sudden investigation and punishment of the Imperial Horse Supervisor in Dongchang this time, almost the entire Imperial Horse Prison officials would not have been able to see the actual situation of the Son of Heaven Guard.

It can be seen that the original imperial horse supervisor ate an unknown amount of empty salary, and also deducted an unknown amount of military salary. The heart of the king, they are really innocent!

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the soldiers below, and he could find that most of the soldiers were frightened and panicked. It is estimated that it is the actions of Dongchang Fanzi here these days that have scared them.

After all, Dongchang will not be gentle. And there are so many people involved this time, almost to the point of seeing one and catching one by one. It's no wonder that the entire Imperial Horse Prison will be at ease in such an atmosphere.

Of course, there are also some who are numb, and in their dull eyes, they are like walking dead. And what about them, when the emperor came? replaced by other officials, and in the end, they are not all the same!

Emperor Chongzhen looked at it for a while, then slowly spoke, and said to the more than 10,000 soldiers on the school field: "Dongchang checks the imperial horse supervisor, and it has nothing to do with your ordinary soldiers. And if it weren't for Dongchang's report to me, I would have been deceived by Wang Zhixin and others, and I didn't know the real situation in the army! ”

At this point, he paused and then said loudly, "Since I already know, I will never let my guards be treated so unfairly. If you have any arrears, they will all be repaid. I hope you all have a great year! ”

To say that everything else is false, even if the emperor is saying that he was deceived by the king's heart or something, most of them are already numb and indifferent. However, when Emperor Chongzhen said that he would make up the arrears, all of a sudden, they all came to life, and their emotions were obviously a little excited. However, most of their expressions were skeptical, as if they did not dare to believe it.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't talk nonsense, just waved his hand. Chen Baoting and a few other chamberlains behind him commanded a few Jinyi guard captains to open all the boxes that had been brought to the stage and then dump them on the stage. Suddenly, the white flowers and silver rolled out, and more than 80,000 taels of silver all rolled out, piling up a lot of money.

At this moment, these soldiers below were immediately excited, and when they saw so many white pieces of silver, they immediately believed that they could finally get the silver. Many of them have no military pay at all. Not only that, but he was also ordered to go out to work, and the money he earned was also taken away by those who were officials. Dare not say a word, this is the army, and it is to be done by military law. After many years, it's strange not to be numb and desperate!

However, no matter how desperate you are, with a stimulus of silver, you will come back to your senses.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that the trick of pouring silver had an effect, so he began to say again: "Don't worry, this time with my watch, no one will deduct your arrears." When I turn around, I will come and ask you in person, but if you have any questions, you can say it directly in front of me! ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly changed his words, and his voice raised a little more: "However, my guards can't be composed of old and weak. If there is chaos today, the people are not living, and the Manchu army is still wreaking havoc in the land of Gyeonggi. The army I want is to be able to fight for my country like a battalion of brave guards. The kind that can follow me to the south and the north like when the country was founded. If any of you think you can go into battle and fight against the Manchu enemy, raise your hand! ”

After speaking, in order to relieve them of their worries, he added: "If you can't kill the enemy, I won't blame you, and I will make proper arrangements for you." As long as you work hard, you will surely have enough food and clothing. This is my promise to you, and I will never break my word! ”

Under the public court, Emperor Chrysostom said that for the vast majority of people, even if he did not add the words "never break his word", he believed it.

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, these soldiers on the school field immediately became a sensation. They looked left and right at their familiar comrades, and eye contact was no longer enough to communicate, so they immediately began to whisper.

"Do you think it's better to go to the battlefield or wait for the arrangements?"

"The emperor seems to want to learn from the founding emperor to drive the expedition in person, and our four guards go to war with the army, do we want to go?"

"As long as you work hard, you can have enough food and clothing, which seems to be good!"

“……”

Regarding the situation on the school field, Emperor Chongzhen did not stop it, and let them discuss it, after all, this is one of the most important choices in their lives.

These soldiers on the school field, according to their own situation, after weighing left and right, began to raise their hands one after another.

"I'll give you another fifty numbers to think about it." After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, the captain of the Jinyi Guard began to count loudly.

When the soldiers heard this, there were more people whispering to each other, obviously thinking about how to choose.

So how many of the four guards and one battalion of more than 10,000 people will raise their hands?
