Chapter 510: Geng is as straight as Mao Chengzuo
After hearing Chen Xin say that he would replenish their weapons and equipment, and received the first batch of material lists, the mouths of Mao Chengzuo and Shang Kexi and others immediately opened wide and almost couldn't be closed.
They didn't need to look at anything else, just looked at the hundreds of pieces of iron armor on the first page of the list, and they were already overjoyed, just this line of words was worth more than three thousand taels of silver.
You must know that Dongjiang Town is not an old interest group of Guanning and Jiubian, and those bastards can divide up millions of taels of silver every year. However, in the entire military town of Dongjiang Town, the total annual military salary is only less than 30,000 taels.
Therefore, 3,000 taels of silver is really a huge gain for them.
If you look down the line, you'll find all sorts of weapons below.
They weren't too interested in the muskets such as the birds, but the other broadswords and spears seized from Houjin were worth a lot of money. The high-quality war knives used by the Tartars of the Later Golden Eight Banners are almost 5 taels of silver or even more to get one.
In the eyes of these military leaders in Dongjiang Town, who had never seen anything on the market, these thousands of cold weapons and hundreds of pieces of iron armor completely showed Chen Xin's heroic spirit. He's a leader worth following.
It's a pity that they didn't expect that these things were completely tatters that Chen Xin and Huaxia couldn't look down on at all from top to bottom, and they were simply worthless.
In Chen Xin's view, Dongjiang Town's current positioning is a springboard for Huaxia to enter the Ming Kingdom, and they cannot be directly integrated into the Huaxia system, nor can they be too far away.
Therefore, there is this kind of thing, taking the seized gold from the back to equip the soldiers and horses of Dongjiang Town.
Of course, it can't be that there is no blood at all, after all, the free is free, the pedal is the pedal, and one day, after Dongjiang Town loses the qualification of the springboard, they will also be completely summarized into the Chinese system.
Therefore, at the back of the list, there is also a personal reward for them, the military leaders of Dongjiang Town, this year.
There is also the reward money of the soldiers below, Chen Xin is credible, but these military leaders who are accustomed to drinking the blood of soldiers, and the personnel of the logistics department of the Huaxia Army in Dongjiang Town personally went down to distribute it to their own hands.
Seeing that Chen Xin was a big gift package as soon as he made a move, several military leaders in Dongjiang Town couldn't see Chen Xin's plan at all, and hurriedly bowed down in surprise to thank him.
Chen Xin has also been smiling and observing the expressions of several people, analyzing the personalities of several of them, Shang Kexi's expression is more mixed with emotions such as admiration and surprise, while Mao Chengzuo's face is more of a flattering flattery.
After Chen Xin's remarks were learned from the Jinyuan diplomatic methods commonly used by the motherland in later generations, the emotions of the military leaders in front of him were much more relaxed than when they first met, and the relationship between the two sides was immediately much closer.
Chen Xin smiled again and said, "There is no need to be too polite, although Dongjiang Town is now under the jurisdiction of the Ming Court on the surface, in fact, you are already a part of my Huaxia, and we are really one."
Moreover, Ben Xiang was also a refugee who escaped from Liaodong at the beginning, and everyone here is a fellow countryman, and I hope that a few of them can work together with the main force to sincerely cooperate to recover the homeland of Liaodong one day earlier.
At that time, Mao Dashuai will have a spirit in the sky, and he should also feel comforted. It is not in vain that he has worked hard for more than ten years and single-handedly created the Dongjiang Military Town. ”
Hearing Chen Xin mention Mao Wenlong's matter again, Mao Chengzuo at this time showed some sad looks, and he nodded silently. echoed Chen Xin's words.
And Shang Kexi was also full of solemnity, and said to Chen Xin respectfully, "Your Excellency, the main force of our army has repeatedly hit the Houjin Tartars for many years, and now, all the soldiers and civilians of Liaodong are even more excited about the previous victory in Fuzhou.
The minister firmly believes that under the wise leadership of the king, the Houjin Tartar will not escape the end of defeat. ”
Mao Chengzuo suddenly "snorted" when he heard this, and interjected: "Then you still have to be in the Ming Court, those sanctimonious civil officials and dog thieves, don't hold back."
Your Majesty, I heard that you have always advocated reconciliation with the Ming Court, but our kingdom must also be careful to watch out for those civil officials and eunuchs in the Ming Court.
Liaodong chaos is of great benefit to these bastards.
Millions of taels of Liao's salary every year, feeding them one by one are full of brains and intestines, once the king assesses Liaodong, what excuse do they find to collect Liao's salary?
Losing such a large piece of fat, those dog thieves who are extremely greedy may hate you even more.
If one day the Ming Court suddenly sends someone to deliver the credentials or something, you must be prepared, bring a good guard, and never leave your side at any time. ”
Shang Kexi was on the side, "Uh-huh······" coughed twice, as if reminding Mao Chengzuo. Mao Chengzuo didn't seem to think that he was wrong, but he and Shang Kexi had worked together for more than ten years, and knew that others were calmer and would not be untargeted, so he stopped talking, turned his head with a cold face, and deliberately didn't look at Shang Kexi.
After Shang Kexi cleared his throat, he said to Chen Xin, "The minister is guilty, please don't blame the king, General Mao has always been like this, in fact, he is not a disrespectful person to the officials."
Moreover, he is not pointing fingers at the monarch's governance, he is just worried about the king's safety, and General Mao is all out of loyalty to you. ”
Chen Xin understood Shang Kexi's worries, he was afraid that Mao Chengzuo would reprimand his former boss and give the new loyal Chen Xin a very bad image.
is even more worried that Mao Chengzuo will be disgusted by Chen Xin if he doesn't know Chen Xin's likes and dislikes.
I appreciate Shang Kexi's ability to defend his brothers and be responsible. Waving his hand, Chen Xin said that he didn't mind it, and said, "General Mao is a man of temperament, and this king has always admired it. ”
Chen Xin felt a little emotional in his heart, he originally thought that Mao Chengzuo, as Mao Wenlong's nephew and the orthodox heir of Dongjiang Town, would be a very strategic guy, but as a result, he was still in the middle of his temperament!
The last time Mao Chengzuo sent someone to Lushun, Chen Xin thought that Mao Chengzuo was here to test it, and what he thought at the time was that this guy would send envoys to multiple places at the same time to explore the way.
Even, he may contact Kong Youde, Li Jiucheng and others who took refuge in Houjin, and directly surrender to Houjin Tartar.
But the final result was that he did not send people to other places at all to carry out the so-called temptation, nor did he find any other "way out", but directly sent his cronies to Lushun.
