Chapter 667: More than enough
Wan Hua smiled slightly, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and then said, "General You, what have you done, don't you know it yourself?" ”
When You Lichen saw Wanhua say this, he couldn't help but be stunned, I know? I know what!
For a long time, You Lichen didn't understand Wanhua's words, and looked at Wanhua blankly!
Wanhua smiled and said: "This time the Tartar slaves offended my Ming Dynasty, the capital of Gyeonggi is eroded, and the country is in danger.
Under the wise guidance of the emperor, my Ming army played the majesty of the Han family's male soldiers, and beat the Tartar slaves with their heads and rats, and they were in a panic all day long, and finally drove them out of the Ming Dynasty! ”
When You Lichen heard this, he was immediately refreshed, and said excitedly: "We have won!" That's great! That's great! The emperor is wise! The emperor is wise! ”
Looking at You Lichen like this, Wanhua felt a little embarrassed!
But I'm sorry, what can I do, I still have to say what I need to say!
So Wanhua continued: "But after defeating the Tarslaves, new troubles are coming, and this trouble is not easy to solve!" ”
When You Lichen heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "This has driven the Tartar slaves away, what trouble is there?" ”
"Hey!"
Wanhua sighed sadly, and replied; "General You doesn't know, this trouble is silver!"
Speaking of this, Wanhua stood up, took a few steps, walked to the entrance of the guest hall, and looked up at the sky.
With a sad look, he continued: "The emperor ordered the world's soldiers and horses to enter the king of Beijing, but who knew that there was an army of 500,000!" ”
"So much!"
"Yes, exactly 500,000! The emperor was also moved by the sincere heart of the soldiers who were loyal to the country, but he couldn't afford to eat this touch! This touched him and he couldn't be a silver flower! An army of 500,000 is going to eat a mountain in a day!
Now that the imperial court is in financial difficulty, General You must have heard that the emperor is wearing a patched dragon robe! How easy it is to feed this 500,000-strong army! ”
You Lichen couldn't help but nod when he heard it, the imperial court was in financial difficulties, this is an open secret, in order to save expenses, Emperor Chongzhen cut all the institutions that could be cut.
There are few harem mothers, and the dragon robe on her body is also broken and made up by herself, which is an emperor, you can imagine the embarrassment in it!
Wan Hua was very happy when he saw You Lichen listening, but there was still no expression on his face, and he continued: "Finally, thanks to the emperor's wisdom and martial arts, he finally beat the Tartar slaves away, and the soldiers and horses of King Qinqin who entered Beijing should also go back, but they are not leaving!" ”
When You Lichen heard this, he was stunned, what happened? If they don't leave, it will be difficult for them to stay in the capital to retire!
You Lichen couldn't help but ask, "Why don't they leave!" The emperor let them go, do they dare to resist the decree! ”
Wan Hua waved his hand helplessly and said: "No, no, it's not that these 500,000 soldiers are disrespectful, but because there is no reward!"
At the beginning, the emperor ordered the king of Qin, promising to beat away the Tartar slaves, he would knight the meritorious ministers and reward the meritorious soldiers, and now the Tartar slaves have been beaten away, and naturally they should fulfill their promises, but ,,, but ,,, but our emperor can't take out so much silver! ”
When You Lichen heard this, he also understood the emperor's suffering, yes, 500,000 soldiers, one person is rewarded with one tael of silver, and that is also 500,000 taels!
The poor family's 500,000 soldiers rushed over hundreds of miles and thousands of miles, and then fought for the country regardless of their lives, and made such a great achievement, in the end, can you get your silver or two?
It's just that if you say less, you can't say anything if you don't have one! This person is ten taels or eighty taels, 500,000 soldiers, how much silver does that have to be! I can't even think of this!
Now that the Ming Dynasty has been suffering from natural disasters for many years, the Tartar slaves are attacking and looting, so much silver, where is the emperor going to find it!
You Lichen also felt sorry for Emperor Chongzhen in his heart, and said that it was good to be the emperor, but when he encountered the current world, maybe the emperor might not be as good as a rich man!
Thinking of this, You Lichen couldn't help but sigh: "Our emperor, bitter! ”
Saying that, You Lichen just lowered his head, a sad look, but he really saw a bit of truth!
But soon You Lichen also reacted, this has been said for a long time, what does this have to do with me! This day, the north and the south can't catch up!
So You Lichen asked Wanhua: "My lord, the emperor's difficulties, the last general is also extremely sad, but ,,, what is the matter with the last general!" ”
Wan Hua smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "This is nothing to do with you, but just when the emperor was in trouble for the silver, he suddenly jumped out of a person, and this time it has something to do with you!" ”
"Who is it? What did he say? ”
"This person is a speech official, named Liu Degao, he offered a proposal to the emperor at this time, saying that now my local generals in the Ming Dynasty are very greedy for military salaries!
The military salary of ten taels of silver in the imperial court was sent down, and when it came to the hands of the soldiers, it was at most two or three taels, which was still good, and some soldiers could not even receive the silver for several years! ”
When You Lichen heard this, he was immediately angry, and shouted: "Let go of the fucking fart!" What do these officials know! Don't look at the virtues of those Beijing officials! The military salary of ten taels of silver, before leaving the capital, is less than three or four percent, who are we generals looking for to reason!
If this bullshit official is capable, why don't you scold those Beijing officials! Check one accurately! Who the hell wants to be a corrupt official again! Who the fuck likes to be poked in the back!
We, the generals, defend the border for the country, don't we live with our heads on our heads one day, just like that, don't raise a family! ”
Wan Hua saw that You Lichen was scolding, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: Why can't the military generals fight Wenchen! are all such rectums, playing with those civil officials, isn't that a game to death!
Just these words just now, as long as they are passed out one and a half sentences, he will also do it, and in front of those civil officials, he is really powerless to fight back!
After scolding for a long time, You Lichen finally sat on the chair angrily and panted, his face was red with anger!
When Wanhua saw him like this, he was not in a hurry, and drank his tea leisurely.
After a long time, You Lichen asked, "My lord, what happened later?" ”
Wan Hua smiled slightly and said, "Later? Later, the official said that as long as he passed the file of Jinyiwei, he could investigate a group of local generals and raise more than enough money! ”
