After the court, all the Hanchen breathed a sigh of relief, today is considered to have picked up a life, the little emperor is really angry and wants people's lives, if it weren't for the empress dowager to come out to save the scene, I'm afraid that a lot of people will die, not to mention anything else, Cai Yurong's friends who are friends are afraid that none of them will survive.

The imperial court has issued an order to raid Cai's mansion, all adult men are beheaded for public display, and the young son and female dependents are married to Ningguta, who wants to be pardoned or not, and takes away the nickname and all rewards of Cai Yurong's father, Cai Shiying.

Generally speaking, there are three kinds of sins of courtiers, the lesser ones implicate themselves, the medium ones implicate the living people in the family, and the most serious ones implicate the dead people in the family. Cai Shiying's nickname was taken away, which made all the civil and military ministers in the court gasp.

Everyone understands what is going on, people are fighting bloody battles on the front line, and they are beginning to discuss seeking the credit of others, maybe they have to seek their lives together, isn't it because Cai Yurong is not a Manchu bannerman, if he is really a Manchu bannerman, where will there be so many things.

But in this era, this kind of thought dares to think about it in one's heart, and then quickly forget it, and no one dares to say a word, let alone seek justice. The king let the minister die, and the minister had to die. But in this way, it becomes a transaction between the monarch and the minister, and when the time comes, of course, they can exchange it for their own advancement.

Today's court is just a seed, and it may take a long time for the seed to bloom and sprout.

When the news reached Tongguan, Cai Yurong left two lines of tears despite the preparation in his heart: "Father, the child is not filial." He originally thought that with his previous merits, his family would be implicated at most, but he didn't expect his deceased father to be implicated, and in this era, the dead father must be more important than the old wife in the family, so Cai Yurong shook his fist violently: "This revenge will not be avenged, and I will not be a man." ”

These days, Cheng Xiaolian is reorganizing the army, in the big battle a few days ago, the sweeping army was almost beaten to the point that it had no combat effectiveness, and the recruits transferred were mixed with Cai Yurong's soldiers and horses, how to reorganize the sweeping army is the key issue.

Cai Yurong chose to compromise on this issue, he showed Cheng Xiaolian all the hole cards, demoted all the generals in the army to ordinary soldiers, and then distributed the corresponding silver according to their official positions, these people can choose to go to Shaanxi to buy a piece of land to be a rich man, or start from scratch, starting from a big soldier.

Cai Yurong also knew that this would be a devastating blow to the entire army, with his conscience, his army was still incorruptible, and those generals basically relied on their ability to ascend to the top, but if they did not erase their traces, it would be difficult for the people of the Ming Dynasty to control this army, and this army was like their own private army.

Even if Cheng Xiaolian has no opinions now, he will always have other ideas in the future, after this catastrophe, Cai Yurong has begun to think about how to behave in the world, he doesn't want to fall in the same place at the same time. As for the generals in the army, it is enough to give them some more silver to compensate, after all, they have been fighting abroad all these years, and they have not lost much silver.

Cheng Xiaolian heard about Cai Yurong's method, and immediately refused, but Chen Chengan held him down: "Your Highness, the Tuhai army is eyeing you outside, at this time, if you want the army to be integrated as quickly as possible, this is the best way, if those people are still in the army, then it will be difficult for the recruits and the Northern Sweeping Army to integrate with them, these people are not minded, and the battle will not be able to fight." They are gone, and the generals of the Northern Sweeping Army can also take these people to fight a few battles, and then quickly merge together. ”

Cheng Xiaolian frowned: "But there are many capable people among those people." ”

"Then hand over the recruits from Xi'an to them for training, when they don't have Cai Yurong's mark on them, they can also be assigned to Daniel Zhang or General Yuan, we won't lose anything, the important thing is that the silver must be out of us, Cai Yurong has made great concessions, we still have to treat him well, even if it's just for his subordinates."

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "This is no problem, let people come up with a way to come out immediately, don't make those generals sad." ”

On this day, Cai Yurong set up a banquet in the army again, and invited all the generals of more than 100 households in the army to come over, whether they were his henchmen or not, none of them were left behind.

Cai Yurong raised his glass: "First of all, I want to thank you, if it weren't for your hard cooperation, I would have died under Tuhai's knife now, and it is already my honor to be able to drink here." After speaking, he tilted his neck and toasted.

The atmosphere of the banquet cooled down suddenly, just like in the later life, a company went out to eat with its boss, and the boss drank three glasses in public without saying a word, there was absolutely only one thing, he was about to be sorry for you. Otherwise, if you want your boss to drink happily, it will be difficult to reach the sky.

Cai Yurong ignored the atmosphere at the venue: "Now we can be regarded as obedient to the Ming Dynasty, but the Tuhai army is already outside Tongguan City, there are not only the original Han Eight Banners in our city, but also some recruits, as well as veterans of the Ming Dynasty's Northern Army, how can these people fight together, who listens to whom?" ”

Speaking of this, he raised his glass: "So I made a decision for His Highness, all the generals in our army will be transferred from their original positions, if you still want to stay in the army, you must start with the big soldiers." ”

Looking at those people with indignant faces, Cai Yurong drank the glass of wine: "If you don't want to, I will personally pay for the silver, two hundred taels for one hundred households, two thousand taels for one thousand households, you go to Shaanxi to be a rich man." ”

A man stood up suddenly: "Dashuai, you are doing this to chill the brothers." ”

Cai Yurong sneered: "Lao Tzu is protecting your lives, if you lose this battle, which of you can live?" The people in the army are not aligned, how can you win the war, you can buy fields with peace of mind and live a good life, isn't it enough to fight and kill all these years? ”

At this time, a voice came from outside the camp: "Your Highness has arrived!" ”

Cai Yurong stood up suddenly: "Why is Your Highness here?" ”

None of the generals present dared to speak much, and if they said the wrong thing at this time, there was absolutely no chance of regret.

Cheng Xiaolian strode in: "I heard that General Cai is arranging the funeral for you, do you think you can still get on the horse and fight?" ”

A general present stood up suddenly: "That's right, I can still go to the battlefield to fight now, I don't know if His Highness dares to give me this opportunity?" ”

Cheng Xiaolian clapped his hands: "Okay, good warrior!" If you are willing to fight, I will give you this opportunity, now there are tens of thousands of recruits in Xi'an City, you can re-lead the troops when you go there, as for whether it is a hero or a bear, it depends on your own ability! If you are a hero, sooner or later you will become famous, and if you are a bear, you should obediently take the money and become a rich man. ”
