Chapter 551: The Confused Coquila

First, he killed former Governor El Salvador and Spanish prisoners, and then sent Governor Bo Tuo and the prisoners to mine in Ceylon.

Zhu Youjian will deal with the more than four million taels of silver left by El Salvador.

According to the rules of the army, the army was all the Ming army, and all the property obtained must be handed over to the court.

But Zhu Youjian was different from ordinary emperors and did not embezzle all the more than four million taels of gold and silver.

He will earn two million taels of gold and silver into the system warehouse and then serve as military pay for the Dragon Flag Special Forces.

With more than two million taels of silver left, he decided to use it all to reward all the soldiers in the Battle of Nanyang.

After conquering Batavia, Malacca and Ceylon, the Ming Dynasty should have given rewards to the soldiers.

If only the soldiers were allowed to fight and the court was silent, what was the difference between this and Emperor Chongzhen in the past?

Only by letting them see the benefits of fighting can they work hard for you.

The court was silent, and the system would not have any ideas for summoning soldiers.

The purpose of their summoning is to share worries for the host and kill the enemy to fight for the host.

But there are still many soldiers who are not summoning soldiers, they are all composed of people from the Ming Dynasty or soldiers.

Although they respect Zhu Youjian very much and are absolutely loyal to the Ming Dynasty, who doesn’t love silver?

After Zhu Youjian transferred two million taels of silver and gold to the system warehouse, he immediately issued an order to reward the soldiers.

The general will be rewarded with fifty taels per person, ten taels per soldier, and twenty taels per soldier will be rewarded with twenty taels per soldier.

If a general is killed, another 500 taels of pension will be raised by the court.

If a soldier dies in battle, in addition to the reward, he will directly add a pension of 200 taels. The elderly parents have young children and are supported by the imperial court.

If the parents are healthy and the woman is already adult, the court will arrange work directly for them.

For those soldiers and non-commissioned officers who perform well, such as hundreds of households, they will not only receive rewards, but will also be promoted to the next level.

The main generals and deputy generals in each army have only rewards but no additional bonuses this time.

But their military achievements will accumulate and superimpose them, which is the accumulation of military achievements for them to be kings and marquis in the future.

After Zhu Youjian's imperial edict was issued, the Ming army soldiers cheered happily, and even Qi Jiguang and Zheng Chenggong and other generals were also happy.

They knew that they were all powerful competitors to be crowned kings.

Under normal circumstances, as long as there is a war, military merit will continue to accumulate.

By the time the Ming Dynasty pacified the world, they had the greatest chance of being crowned kings.

No matter which dynasty, if a general wants to be promoted to Jiajue, fighting for the country is his only chance to rise step by step.

The soldiers who received the money and promoted the government were at the same time, and they wanted the emperor to immediately send troops to fight.

Now sending troops to fight will not only get money, but also give yourself the possibility of promotion.

When Zhu Youjian was thinking about his next plan in the room, Cao Zhengchun quietly walked into the room and said with a silence:

"Your Majesty, your move is really high. All the soldiers are clamoring to send troops to fight. The morale is very high. It seems that no one is willing to be unable to get along with the money, and they don't care even if they exchange their lives for exchange."

Zhu Youjian looked up at Cao Zhengchun. This eunuch was summoned. If he hadn't been summoned, he would have been an old fox.

"Cao Zhengchun, don't let my Ming soldiers be distorted. They love money well.

But the loyalty of serving the country is even more valuable. They will be the heroes of the Ming Dynasty's territory in the future.

Without them fighting for the country, the Ming Dynasty may no longer exist now, so you should not criticize them behind their backs."

Zhu Youjian knew that even if the soldiers did not give rewards, they would also be loyal to the country, and it would be better to have money.

But they did not fight for money. If Cao Zhengchun's words were heard, they would undermine their enthusiasm.

Seeing that the emperor's face was not good-looking, Cao Zhengchun knew that he was talking a lot and hurriedly bowed to salute:

"Your Majesty is wise, and his humble position is ignorant. He will never say such things again in the future."

Zhu Youjian nodded slightly:

"Cao Zhengchun, have you and Qinglong sent out the Fanzi and Jinyiwei now in place?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the Dongchang Manzi and the Jinyiwei have been in place, and they will send the things to the place quietly according to the instructions of the Lord."

Zhu Youjian was still very relieved about Cao Zhengchun's ability to do business. He nodded and said:

"Transfer my oral order, and ask Zheng Chenggong to send warships to deliver the rewards to the soldiers to Huangming Island and Ceylon, and distribute them to the left-behind soldiers."

"Abide by the order"

The Governor's Office of Manila.

The newly appointed Spanish Governor-General to Manila, Coquera is discussing the situation around Manila with some resident generals.

At this time, he had not received news that Malacca, Ceylon, Batavia and other places were occupied by the Ming army.

The former Governor El Salvador was worried that he would not be able to leave, and for his own sake, he did not tell Coquera the information he received.

The Manila Navy Colonel and the Navy Commander thought he knew that he did not tell him about this situation after he took office.

Today they received a report that three Spanish merchant ships were detained by the Ming Dynasty in the Strait of Malacca.

"Governor General, when our merchant ships passed through the Strait of Malacca, the Netherlands charged us relatively low.

After the Ming Dynasty controlled the Strait of Malacca, their fees for the West increased.

Because Spanish merchant ships refused to pay the fees to the Ming Dynasty, three merchant ships have been detained by them.

Please find a way to let them pass through our merchant ships.”

Coquela was confused by the navy colonel's statement. He didn't understand what it meant and asked hurriedly:

"Col. Lei Deng, what did you say? Why did we pay the Ming Dynasty when we pass by Malacca? It's simply outrageous..."

It turned out that Malacca was also controlled by Spain, and even the Portuguese had controlled it.

But after the Netherlands rose strongly, they snatched control of Malacca from the Portuguese and the Spanish.

In order to balance the interests of the three parties, the Netherlands finally made some concessions, charging only a small portion of tolls for both countries.

Seeing that the new governor seemed to have no idea about the situation in Malacca, the Spanish Navy commander was also a little confused.

"Governor General, hasn't the former Governor told you about the situation here? Batavia, controlled by the Netherlands, has been occupied by the Ming army, and they replaced the Netherlands to collect tolls in the Strait of Malacca."

"What? Is this impossible? The Netherlands is at its peak now. Where did the navy compete with them in the Ming Dynasty? Is your information wrong?"

When Navy Commander Raden talked about the Strait of Malacca, Koquela did not believe that Batavia had been controlled by the Ming army.

At that time, the information was not as developed as it is now. They could not obtain the wars that took place in thousands of miles of seas in time.

Seeing the Governor's confused look, Raden was even more sure that El Salvador did not tell Coquera the truth.

Leiden didn't know what caused the handover problem between the two governors.

He was about to ask clearly what was going on when a soldier suddenly ran into the Governor's Mansion in panic.
