Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

After the battlefield was cleaned, the corpses of the enemy were all burned, and it was easy to cause a virus if the corpses were not disposed of, and the corpses of the soldiers killed by the Ming army were brought back on horseback.

Let the soldiers who died fighting for the country throw their bodies into the wilderness, it is impossible, Zhu Cihong can't do it, he has to take it back if he says anything, bury those who have families, cremate those who don't have families, and leave the ashes in the martyrs' shrine.

Soon, the five thousand cavalry of the Beijing camp each had the head of the Qing army hanging on their horses, as well as some corpses of the Ming army, these actions seemed nothing to the soldiers of the Beijing camp, and the military regulations set by His Royal Highness for the Beijing camp had this article: But if the soldiers are killed in battle, their corpses must be brought back, and they cannot be thrown into the wilderness!

But this scene fell in the eyes of Lu Xiangsheng and those Guan Ningjun brought by Gao Qiqian, the meaning is different, I don't know how many soldiers died on the battlefield, not to mention bringing them back for burial, some of them can't even find the corpses, and the court has never thought of retrieving the corpses of the soldiers and bringing them back for burial.

"Hey, brother, where are you soldiers?" Some

of the Guan Ning soldiers in the march of the army couldn't help but be curious, and asked the cavalry of the Beijing camp.

"We are all soldiers of the Beijing camp. The

man glanced at each other and said, with pride in his eyes, yes, they were all proud to be soldiers of the Beijing camp.

"It's so nice that you guys have brought back the bodies of the brothers who died in battle for burial.

"That is, if our border army dies outside, someone will collect the corpse, and it will be remembered and it will be a great favor to pay for the settlement fee.

When these Guan Ningjun heard this, they also sighed, those who have families, even if the body can't be found, they will set up a sign at home and worship it, those lonely people who have no family will be miserable and become real lonely ghosts.

"That's not all, His Royal Highness will also give each brother who died in battle a hundred taels of settling-in expenses, and his name will be engraved into the martyr's shrine in the capital, and enjoy the incense of eternity.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of these Guan Ning soldiers who were close to them widened.

"One hundred taels of settlement expenses

!" "The name is engraved in the Martyrs' Shrine!" A

group of Guan Ning soldiers were immediately surprised when they heard these two key words, and then after being affirmed by the Beijing cavalry, they all showed envious looks.

Good guys, one hundred taels of settlement expenses, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so generous, like them, the Guanning army in Liaodong, guarding the border passes, often fighting with the Qing army, and there is nothing when they die, even if they are, they are all some high-level officers, and they are only about ten taels of silver.

These soldiers, not to mention the settling-in expenses, even the military salary is once, not once.

And some of the more senior generals are no more than fifty taels, serving as soldiers in the Beijing camp, and even the soldiers who died in battle have a hundred taels of settlement expenses, and everyone instantly felt a feeling that the soldiers can also be valued.

For the first time, I felt that even if I was a soldier, I would not become a lonely ghost if I died in battle, I would be remembered by the court, and my family would be treated preferentially, so that if I died, my wife and children could live without a pillar.

Because they also often see that their brothers around them are killed in battle, and their wives and children are directly bullied and hungry, which is a common thing, and the court will not care.

And the name is engraved into the Martyrs' Shrine, which is something they dare not think of, into the Martyrs' Shrine, even if it is an ordinary governor, the general soldiers are not qualified, and there are only a few martyrs with names in history, all of whom are some world-famous generals.

Tsk, I really wanted to break away from the Guan Ning Army and be transferred to the Beijing camp, and in an instant, such an idea suddenly appeared in the hearts of many Guan Ning Army.

Moreover, the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp are not as wasted as rumored, and they are quite capable of fighting.

"Yang Zaixing.

Zhu Cihong and a few people were at the front of the army, he looked at Yang Zaixing on the side, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, resist the Qing army in the front."

"Your Highness Xie cares, the duty of the last general is not hard.

Yang Zaixing smiled with a smile.

"How many people have been lost?" Zhu

Cihong asked.

"Returning to His Highness, a total of forty-seven people have been lost.

Yang Zaixing replied truthfully, and after saying this, a trace of heartache obviously flashed in his eyes.

As soon as these words came out, Lu Xiangsheng next to him was taken aback, 500 people, all 2,000 Jiannu elite horsemen, only to lose 47 people?

Gao Qiqian, Zu Kuan didn't feel anything when he heard this, after all, they didn't know the difference in numbers.

Zhu Cihong glanced at Yang Zaixing, there was nothing on the surface, but he was shocked in his heart, it was rumored that there were 500 back soldiers in Zhuxian Town, and he didn't know if it was true, anyway, it was quite exaggerated.

"Enter the Martyrs' Shrine, the palace will lead the hundreds of officials in the capital every year to go to the Martyrs' Shrine for incense.

Zhu Cihong sighed, these are those who have no family, he can't do anything, the only thing he can do is to remember their names and remember these martyrs who died fighting for the country.

In history, there are too many martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country and the people without leaving their names, and who have been forgotten.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace!" Yang

Zaixing heard this, his body was stunned, and a trace of tears appeared in his eyes.

And some of the high-ranking generals who followed closely behind also had a different kind of emotion in their hearts when they heard these words.

"Lu Xiangsheng, how many people did your army lose?" Zhu

Cihong looked at Lu Xiangsheng again.

"Returning to His Highness, more than 800 people were killed in battle.

Lu Xiangsheng replied, when he said this, he was a little embarrassed, compared to Yang Zaixing.

"5,000 fights 3,000, and more than 800 people were killed in battle, you usually have to practice more. Zhu

Cihong was not very satisfied with the number of war dead, of course he wanted not to die a single person, but how could there be no dead in the war, just try to die as little as possible, just one less death, so the training arranged by the Beijing camp was very hard.

As he spoke, he said, "You will count it later, report the list of soldiers who have families and those who have died in battle, and the settlement fee will be one hundred taels, and the palace will allocate it to you at that time, and the list of those who have no family members will also be reported, and I will order someone to engrave their names into the Martyrs' Shrine."

"Thank Your Highness for the grace of the whole army!" Lu

Xiangsheng heard this, and immediately shouted excitedly, moved to a mess, and tears rushed out directly.

Gao Qiqian on the side heard the words, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and he immediately made a small calculation in his heart, one person has one hundred taels of settlement expenses, and I don't know if this little prince is too loser, or too little to take money seriously, now how much income is Daming a year, the prince is so squandering.

At the same time of complaining, he also began to calculate, in this way, regardless of whether the prince is a profligacist or not, since the prince said so, then the Guan Ning army intercepted and killed the Qing army just now, and also lost thousands of people, so if it is one hundred taels per person, wouldn't it be ......

"Your Royal Highness is really benevolent, he values soldiers so much, and loves soldiers like sons, then he must love the people like sons in the future, and he will definitely be a ruler of the world in the future.

Thinking about it, Gao Qiqian rode his horse to Zhu Cihong's side, first patted the horse's ass, and then said with a smile: "Your Highness, just now the Guan Ning army intercepted the elite of the Qing army, and it also suffered heavy casualties.

Zhu Cihong glanced at the other party and did not talk.

Gao Qiqian saw that the prince didn't speak, smiled awkwardly, and said: "Your Highness is like a god with soldiers, in the past, my Ming army must have been defeated in the field when it encountered the Qing army, but now His Royal Highness has won a big victory, and if you want to come to your majesty to spread the good news, you will definitely be happy and reward Your Highness."

"I heard that you are also a person who has read books, especially those who are familiar with military books, and you are deeply valued and trusted by your father, right?" (The eunuchs who could enter the ceremonial eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were all highly educated people, and the eunuchs in the palace were all scholars, and they had to arrange classes to study when they entered the palace at the age of ten.

Zhu Cihong suddenly looked at Gao Qiqian and showed a faint smile.

"It's all Your Majesty's love.

When Gao Qiqian heard this, he immediately showed a hint of pride.

"Then why, you open and close your mouth to reward

benefits?" Zhu Cihong put away his smile, suddenly serious, looked at Gao Qiqian's eyes gradually turned cold, and said: "What others see is compassion for the soldiers who died in battle, as soon as you open your mouth, you are thinking about how much silver you can get

?" "Do you still think that if the settling-in allowance of these soldiers of the Guanning Army who died in battle is given to you, you will be rich?" "

Why, the more books you read, the more important the benefits in your eyes?"

Zhu Cihong's tone became colder and colder, and he asked again and again, and Gao Qiqian, who asked directly, had a stiff face, and was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

When Zu Kuan and other Guanning soldiers heard this, they also showed a trace of dissatisfaction with Gao Qiqian, they all knew what kind of goods Gao Qiqian was, embezzling military salaries, eating empty salaries, and asking for bribes were common things, but this person was a person who the emperor trusted very much, and he didn't dare to offend.

"You have to make it clear, these treatments have not yet entered the policy of the Ming Military Department, so only the soldiers of the Beijing camp have it, this is the policy of the palace privately, as for whether there are soldiers in other military camps, it depends on whether they are given by Lonely.

After Zhu Cihong finished saying this, as a soldier of the Beijing camp, he immediately puffed up his chest, and a sense of pride as an officer and soldier of the Beijing camp emanated, while Guan Ningjun sighed again that the Beijing camp was really good.

"The slave and maid understood.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he secretly sighed that this time it was a mistake, I thought that the prince was young and generous, he praised a few words, and coaxed the prince to be happy, and he could get a large sum of silver, but he didn't expect that this little bit of caution was seen through by the prince at once.

"Why don't you obey the military orders of the military department?" "Why don't you obey the military orders of the palace?"

Zhu Cihong suddenly said two more words that made Gao Qi's

heart jump.

And as soon as these words came out, Yan Yun's eighteen cavalry, Yang Zaixing, Lu Xiangsheng and other cavalry of the Beijing camp all turned their heads to look at Gao Qiqian, and the disdain, disgust, and killing intent in their eyes were undisguised!
