Xiong Tingbi felt quite embarrassed when he saw the military leaders of the nine towns looking at him. After all, Han Siwen was sent by the emperor. It seemed inappropriate to tell him the truth, but it seemed even more inappropriate not to explain the matter clearly!
Just when Xiong Tingbi was thinking about how to explain this matter clearly, Han Siwen suddenly said: "Your Majesty knows what you have done! He also knows what you want to do!"
These words were like a thunderbolt in the clear sky that struck everyone¡¯s heart!
"If the emperor knew what they had done, wouldn't it mean that all of them would die?"
Then, the smile on Han Siwen's face faded and he said in a cold tone: "Your Majesty said that the Guards are His Majesty's personal soldiers. Your Majesty can raise one hundred thousand soldiers. I wonder how many you can raise? So don't think about anything else. Only by following His Majesty's will can you keep your official positions!"
These words not only shocked these military leaders, but even Xiong Tingbi was shocked in his heart!
It turns out that the little emperor didn't understand the ins and outs of the matter, but he was very clear about the details and made preparations quietly. The one hundred thousand Guards that Han Siwen mentioned was not just a whim of the little emperor for fun. , but a steel knife placed on the necks of these military leaders!
Han Siwen put on a smile at this time and said: "But your Majesty also said that as you fight to defend the country, you can't let your hearts be cold. Therefore, your Majesty explained that as long as you correct the past things, you will forget them. From now on All the proceeds from the battle, which the imperial court does not take any cents from, will belong to the army and will be distributed uniformly by the wartime commander!"
Xiong Tingbi was afraid that such a decree would allow the military leaders below to attack the people in the area unscrupulously, so he quickly asked: "What does the Holy Spirit mean by combat?"
Han Siwen explained: "The battles your Majesty refers to are the battles that the Ming army fought against foreigners inside or outside the Ming Dynasty, as well as the battles that occurred during anti-smuggling operations. Others are not counted. Your Majesty also said that if the army can take the initiative, Attack and rescue the people of the Ming Dynasty from the foreigners. Every person rescued, regardless of age or sex, will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, which counts as two heads of military merit!"
At this time, the abacus in the minds of the nine town military leaders started crackling again. They quickly found a way to make money and meritorious service from Han Siwen's words, and this method would bring more benefits than what they were doing now, but this But they need to take the initiative to find trouble with the Mongols or even the Jurchens!
Doing this is undoubtedly dangerous, but as long as you win the battle, the benefits are also extremely high. The decapitated heads can be exchanged for silver and military merits, and the captured young men can be exchanged for silver and military merits. Even the people who rescued the Ming Dynasty can also be exchanged for silver and military merits!
This does not include the cattle, sheep, horses, and furs snatched back from the grassland tribes. These are all free money!
After careful calculation, this is much more money than taking short quotas and deducting military pay. The most important thing is that making money like this is not afraid of anyone coming to check, and you can be promoted. Moreover, it is a business that only makes money without losing money, because the emperor said, fight It doesn¡¯t matter if you lose, just fight back!
Those grassland tribes usually live scattered and will only get together when called by the Great Khan. In this way, if the Ming army takes the initiative to attack, it will be a complete attack. Even if it fails for a moment, it can just go back and gather the troops to fight!
Even if you don¡¯t want to fight with the Mongols and Jurchens, isn¡¯t there still private business?
Those guys have money and goods, and although they also have guards, if they really start to take action, can the guards of private merchants be the opponent of their own soldiers?
Of course, there will inevitably be casualties in this kind of thing, but what you do as a soldier is to lick blood with the tip of a knife. If you can get promoted and make a fortune while killing people and setting fires, what else is there to say?
After making these calculations, the eyes of the nine town military leaders became vicious and greedy!
Money and military glory are waving to them!
When Xiong Tingbi saw such changes, he really admired the little emperor in his heart. The same officers and the same army, just changed the way of obtaining profits, completely changed their appearance. This was something he had never thought of. ah!
However, Xiong Tingbi, who is still a civil servant at heart, can't help but worry. If the border troops really take the initiative to attack the Mongolian tribes, it will inevitably cause a counterattack by the Mongols. At that time, the officials in the court will not let go of such an opportunity. A man who is good at provoking border attacks will If the charges are withheld, even he, the nine-sided admiral, will not feel comfortable!
So Xiong Tingbi asked tentatively: "Han Zhenshou, if the soldiers and horses of the Nine Towns attack too frequently, will it cause the impeachment of the courtiers?"
The military leaders of the Nine Towns also immediately pricked up their ears. What these soldiers feared most was actually the impeachment of civilian officials, because the Ming Dynasty's problem of emphasizing civility over military affairs has really reached its peak.In the house.
No matter how senior a military attach¨¦ is, or what the facts are, as long as he is impeached, he is basically right. As for who is right and who is wrong, no one cares. Anyway, you are a military general, and if you are impeached by a civilian official, your mistake will naturally be wrong. , even if it is right, it will become wrong!
Han Siwen smiled coldly and said: "Your Majesty said, rotten scholars have no power to restrain a chicken, so why should they criticize the strong men who can stabilize the country?"
"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!" The hearts of the Nine Town Army leaders seemed to be ignited by fire, and they couldn't help but shout in unison!
After years of being cursed by those civil servants, I finally had some fun today!
"By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you!" Han Siwen waited for the military leaders to calm down a little before he said: "Until we get new notifications, if we encounter a smuggling caravan, if there are no military police present, all troops must be Avoid it. If there are military police present, you must listen to the military police's handling, otherwise something big will happen and you will be in trouble!"
Although no one knew why Han Siwen suddenly said this, since he was sent by the emperor to take charge of military discipline, he naturally said what he said!
Just when everything had been discussed and Xiong Tingbi was about to let several military leaders who had come from afar take a good rest, there was a rush of footsteps outside!
Everyone looked out the door and saw a soldier running in quickly. He was about to kneel down when he entered the lobby, but Cao Wenzhao stepped forward and grabbed him!
Cao Wenzhao was so strong that he actually lifted the person up: "Remember this, you are not allowed to kneel down when you see anyone in the future!"
The soldier didn¡¯t know what was going on. He turned to the ground with his head covered and shouted: ¡°Emergency military situation, the Mongolian army is at the border!¡±
Xiong Tingbi was secretly annoyed that the Mongols came to cause trouble just after he took office as the Admiral of the Nine Borders. However, at this time, he also showed extremely high military literacy and immediately asked: "How many people are here? What is the main direction of attack?"
At this time, the soldier had been put down by Cao Wenzhao, and he stood there helplessly, stumbling and saying: "Back back to my lord, none of this has been discovered. It's just that as soon as the smoke from the pier and platform reached Datong, three to five hundred people came. Mongolian cavalry, they are right nowright below the city!"
"Damn it!" Cao Wenzhao cursed bitterly: "What nonsense is the Mongolian army? They are just a bunch of people here to fight against the autumn wind!"
The reason why Cao Wenzhao said this is not unreasonable. If it is really the Mongol Khan who raised troops to seize the border, tens of thousands of troops must have escorted the Khan's tent. In that case, the smoke coming from the pier would be worse than the Mongol army approaching the city. Much faster.
But in the current situation, Langyan arrived almost at the same time as the Mongolian cavalry, which means that they are a group of desperate bandits. This group of people is either a tribe, or several tribes united together, and they really can't survive this. In winter, I had no choice but to come to the Ming Dynasty to plunder!
But even in this case, according to past practice, the defenders still closed the city and did not go out until the Mongols had finished looting.
Of course, if you really encounter a soft persimmon, the military men of the Ming Dynasty don't mind doing it. Not only can you get a few heads to gain military merit, but you can also keep the materials looted by the Mongols. It is also a good deal. !
