.Ming Blood Volume 3: The Ming Dynasty Resurrection Chapter 19: Buying Bones with a Lot of Gold

By the end of the war, the sky was almost coming. The head of Qingzhou city was lit up a little, illuminating the entire city as day. The same was true for Liuying and Feihu Camp below. A large area in the middle was pitch black. There were only sparse torches. The remaining 4,000 green camp soldiers stood nervously in the night wind. I wonder what the fate was waiting for them.

Chen Shaozong and Xu's Gonglian Cheng and the other three were the temporary leaders of the remaining 4,000 green camp soldiers. The three of them plucked up their courage and came to the front of the chariot formation tremblingly. They begged to see the commander of the Ming army.

Sun Kexian hated the Green Camps that served the Manchus. If he wanted to kill them, he would simply kill them. However, the rebellion of these people reduced a lot of casualties in the Ming army. If they were killed, hundreds of thousands of Green Camp soldiers from the Qing court would be stubborn and fought for the Manchus. In the future, the war would be much harder to fight. It would not be in line with the emperor's always differentiation strategy of the Qing court. Moreover, Huang's achievements were in Qingzhou City. Sun Kexian could not decide even if he wanted to kill these people. Hearing that the Green Camp soldiers had selected several people for their wishes, he only pinched his nose to meet him.

After a tea, Chen Shao and others finally felt relieved. Although Sun Kexian sternly spoke to them, it also means that they would not be in danger of their lives. Next, the Yulin Guard began to recruit more than 4,000 remaining green camp soldiers. Chen Shaozong led Sun Kexian, Lu Zhengxian and others to a corpse and pointed at a corpse and said with a thought: "Sir, this is the corpse of the commander of the Tartars."

The bodies of Sony Soetu and Son were very close to each other. Sony was stabbed more than ten times, his face was calm, but there was a hint of sadness at the corner of his mouth. Soetu's eyes were wide open, full of reluctance and anger. Except for Sony Soetu's father and son, Hu Daman and Tong Yangliang, none of the Qing generals ran away. I don't know if it was out of revenge or other. The dead Qing generals were hit by many knives.

After seeing the corpses of Sony and others, Sun Kexian and others also had a smile on their faces. Although the Yulin Guard was tightly surrounded, it was just too hasty. It was impossible for there to be no loopholes. If the Qing commander slipped away, it would always be imperfect.

The news of the victory in Qingzhou was very popular in Wang Fu. When he heard that Sony Soetu and his son were dead, Wang Fu was in a very happy mood in the early Qing Dynasty. In the early Qing Dynasty, outstanding generals emerged one after another. As the leader of the four major auxiliary governments in the early Kangxi period, Sony was naturally not an ordinary person. Such people, one person died of Manchus, and one person was less than one person. Now, in just a few years, most of the Manchus were captured or killed in the Ming Dynasty. Even if Doer could still get the army, he should have a headache. Who should lead the army?

"Transfer my order. Chen Shaozongxu's Gonglian Cheng and the three of them knew to return to their fate. They killed Helishesone and his son and thousands of barbarians and tatars. They made great contributions. Each of them rewarded hundreds of gold coins, thousands of silver coins, thousands of silk and satin pieces, five hundred acres of fertile land, and were granted the title of third-class viscounts. They can be passed down to their descendants. The rest of the green camps who entered the city rewarded twenty silver coins, one piece of cloth, one piece of silk, and one piece of silk."

"Ah." Wu Meicun, who heard the reward, couldn't help but scream. The rewards in front of the three generals were already thick enough, but he didn't expect to be granted titles. The Ming Dynasty originally had only three types of titles, divided into Dukes and Marquis; the title of Viscount of these three people means that the title system that had been implemented for more than 200 years in the Ming Dynasty was broken. With the emergence of lower titles, more and more people would be granted titles in the Ming Dynasty in the future.

The increase in titles is a good thing for generals, but are you too kind to the three capricious villains who have been awarded titles? Wu Meicun has been reluctant to write.

"What's wrong?" Wang Fu asked in confusion when hesitated in Meicun.

"Emperor, these three are despicable villains. Even if the emperor wants to give me a reward, you can't use a title." Wu Meicun couldn't help but say.

"Of course I know what these three people are. They bought horse bones with a thousand gold coins. These three people were the first green camp soldiers to fight against the Tartars on the battlefield. I naturally want to reward them."

Wu Meicun couldn't help but shake his head. He didn't have to give him a title with a title. In addition to the nobles from Taizu and Chengzu, the titles of the Ming Dynasty were very rare. Only such titles of the Ming Dynasty were valuable. Many generals with great military achievements regretted that they did not have titles.

But the emperor insisted on doing this. Wu Meicun could not disobey. He only picked up his pen and wrote it down. He still sighed in his heart.

Wang Fu had his own intention to grant titles to the three. In Wang Fu's opinion, the system of titles with only three levels before the Ming Dynasty was extremely unreasonable. Although the title was a false title, it was just a huge honor for a descendant. It attracted countless people to like it. However, the title system of the Ming Dynasty - Piaotianwen - was too high. The high makes people not even have the chance to look up to it. It makes many generals feel disgraceful. The titles have almost become useless decorations.

It is divided into five-level systems. Each level is divided into three levels. The title is expanded to the fifteenth level at once. The title is no longer unattainable. The increase in the level will not make many generals unable to rise early. This is a benign system. Wang Fu had wanted to break it before, but he had no chance. This time he wanted to buy horse bones for three people with a thousand gold coins. Of course, Wang Fu did not want the three villains to reach the high position of the count. He was granted a third-class viscount. This shows that it is correct.

Anyway, the Green Camp soldiers' minds will not make the Ming generals have the idea of ​​the emperor being generous to this.

The Yulin Guards had little trouble to capture Qingzhou. However, the other army encountered problems. Huang Gong's general, after the siege of the state, encountered the tenacious resistance of the Qing army of the state. The Ming army failed to attack several times. The most important thing was that the Qing army commander Boluo was elusive and led 4,000 Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces to threaten the rear of the Ming army. Several counties in the rear were captured. Huang Gong was forced to distribute a large number of troops to protect the food route along the way. The attack on Yanzhou was weakened, which made the morale of the Qing army in Yanzhou high and even more difficult to conquer.

, the prefect of the prefecture government, Jin Sheng, smashed a Beijing slam and said angrily: "This Chen Yili is simply too much. He actually asked our dean to take the lead in giving out three thousand taels of silver as silver. Is he the prefect or the official is the mansion?"

"Sir, please calm down. Who made him trusted by Lord Tujiang?" Master Lu Qian said with a wry smile.

Tujiang was appointed by Boluo, the city guard of the state. It was the white-clad Melezhangjing of Manchus. All military and civil affairs in the city were inscribed with Tujiang. Although Boluo took away all the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces. There were only hundreds of Manchu and Mongolian troops in the city. Yu was all green camp soldiers composed of Han people, but under the severe laws such as Chen Yili's suggestion of curfews and implicated, the green camp soldiers fought desperately and resolved the attacks of the Ming army over the past seven or eight days, making Chen Yili a popular man in front of Tujiang. In addition, Jin Yisheng had a handle and was caught by Chen Yili. Now Jin Yi is a loophole.

If it were just like this, Jin Yisheng could still tolerate it. But now Chen Yili actually saw his money bag and asked him to pay the money army. It was simply a matter of Yisheng's life. The scholars could not tolerate it.

After venting, Jin Yisheng sat down on a chair. Yanzhou was surrounded. The materials outside could not be transported in. Although it was only more than ten days, there was already soaring prices. In addition, in order to resist the Ming army's siege, Tujiang tried hard to expand the green camp's troops in the city. All of them needed money and food to support it. It was already difficult to support the previous army with the financial resources of Yanzhou Prefecture. How could it be that the army was expanded? Raising funds from the rich households in the city became inevitable. What made Jin Yi's fire was that he, the prefect, had to take the lead. He also stipulated the amount of 3,000 taels of silver.

Three thousand taels. If he is a serious official, he, as a prefect, has not earned so much money for decades. It is certainly not possible if he doesn't take it out. If he takes it out easily, isn't it clear that he was a corrupt official in the past? What's more, he has to take out three thousand taels. It's like he was sad to dig out his flesh.

"Lu Qian. You have always had many ideas. Think about it quickly. How can you lose the three thousand taels of silver?" Jin Yisheng looked at Lu Qian with hopeful eyes.

Lu Qian smiled bitterly. He is not a god. The amount of these three thousand taels of silver has been recognized by Tujiang. Not only Tujiang stared at Jin Yisheng. The rich and gentry in the city stared at him, waiting for the magistrate’s three thousand taels of silver. Now is an extraordinary period. If Jin Yisheng dared not to obey, Tujiang would probably not care about using Jin Yisheng to kill the chicken and scare the monkey.

"The Lord of the Mansion. This time the villain is probably powerless. It is better for the Lord of the Mansion to hand over three thousand taels of silver at night. Otherwise, it will annoy Lord Tujiang. I am afraid that the leader of the Lord of the Mansion will be in danger."

"So serious?" Jin Yisheng touched his head. He felt a cool breeze blowing. He knew that Lu Qian was right and couldn't help but sigh again.

Although he was so distressed that day, Jin Yisheng still did not dare to neglect it. He handed over the three thousand taels of silver as much as possible. Under Jin Yisheng's leadership, the gentry and wealthy families in Yanzhou Prefecture were like cutting their flesh. Within a few days, they paid all the money and grain according to the Qing army's request. Yanzhou did not have to worry about money and grain for the time being. It was just that Jin Yisheng paid money and efforts. But Tujiang generals recorded all the contributions on Chen Yili, which made Jin Yisheng even more angry.

That night, the prefect Jin, who had recovered for several days, found his master and secretly talked: "Lu Qian. How long do you think the Ming army will be besieged this time?"

"Mr. This depends on how long the state can defend itself."

"You mean, the state must be destroyed?"

"Of course, it must be destroyed. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty personally led the expedition. It was obvious that he wanted to recover all the lost things in the north. How could he let one of the state live? The lord. It was only the first time that he raised money and food. If he had been besieged for a long time, there would inevitably be a second time. The third time..."

"I know. I know..." Jin Sheng murmured to himself, his face full of annoyance. The previous three thousand taels had already made him feel as painful as his heart. If he did it again, Jin Yisheng could not imagine how distressed he would have. Besides, this is a bottomless pit. As long as the Qing army can defend the city, it is not impossible for him to use up all his property. He suddenly made up his mind: "Lu Qian. Is there one thing you dare to do?"

"My lord has any orders. He will go through fire and water if he has something to do." Lu Qian said passionately, as if he was really willing to go through fire and water for Jin Yisheng.
