"Congratulations to Mr. Xu Ge!"

In the eyes of the courtiers, Cheng Shijie was Sun Yuanhua's person, and Sun Yuanhua was Xu Guangqi's student, so Cheng Shijie was also Xu Guangqi's person.

The current chief minister of the cabinet, Zheng Yiwei, also breathed a sigh of relief. Ning Haijun beheaded 4,000 people, plus the Han army beheaded 10,000 people. This is real and unadulterated good news. It is also the greatest victory achieved by the Ming Dynasty since the Battle of Sarhu.

.

Zheng Yiwei also felt a little relieved. Jiannu was really beaten to a pulp this time. It should take a few years to stop, right? He, the chief assistant, could relax a little more.

However, as soon as this thought passed by, a sense of crisis came over him like dark clouds in June. He did not forget that Cheng Shijie was Xu Guangqi's man. With this great achievement, Xu Guangqi was qualified to aspire to the throne of first assistant!

Zheng Yiwei felt a great crisis.

The Battle of the Breach has always been a worry for Emperor Chongzhen. He always dreamed that the Ming army outside the Pass could win a great victory and wash away this great shame.

The Battle of Daling River was launched in a hurry under this background.

What Chongzhen was thinking of was that when Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turks led 200,000 cavalry to the city of Chang'an, Li Shimin had to hold his nose and sign an alliance with Jieli Khan. However, three years later, Li Jing had three thousand Tang cavalry.

They raided Yinshan Mountain at night and captured Jieli Khan to Chang'an, where he danced for Li Shimin.

Unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty is not the Tang Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty does not have Li Jing, let alone the elite Tang army who can defeat ten.

Emperor Chongzhen did not expect the Battle of Daling River to avenge his humiliation. Instead, he slapped him in the face again. Back and forth, the Ming Dynasty lost more than 60,000 cavalry in the Battle of Daling River.

Millions of taels of silver were wasted.

It seems that God also felt that he had suffered too much and should give him some compensation. He actually allowed Ning Haijun to achieve a huge victory in Haizhou, in this incredible place!

Whenever he thought of this, Emperor Chongzhen felt happy and his smile could no longer be concealed.

All the civil and military officials knelt down in unison, and their voices were loud and loud, as if they had been injected with chicken blood: "Congratulations to the Holy One, congratulations to the Ming Dynasty! Long live my emperor!"

However, after the excitement, Emperor Chongzhen felt a little worried at this time.

How should the meritorious officers of Ning Navy be rewarded?

According to the military regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the reward for each ordinary slave's head is fifty taels, which is two hundred and two thousand, eight hundred taels. The head of a Niu Luzhen is one hundred taels, and that of a white-armored soldier is one.

With one thousand taels, an ordinary soldier can be directly promoted to a full fifth-grade Qianhu.

In Ning Haijun's success report, they stated that they had captured a total of sixty-seven pieces of white-armored armor, which meant that this was 67,000 taels of silver. Niu Lu'er had more than 20 people, which was another more than 2,000 taels.

silver.

All in all, the reward for the head of Guangning Navy would cost more than 300,000 taels.

In addition, how should Cheng Shijie be rewarded?

He is now the Commander-in-Chief of the Left, the General in Conquest, the Commander-in-Chief of the Ning Navy, and controls the Dongjiang Army. As a military general, he has actually reached his peak.

Even Zu Dashou is at this level.

…

Not only was Emperor Chongzhen having a headache, but Cheng Shijie was also having a headache.

Ning Haijun has achieved such great military exploits that 4,679 heads of Jiannu have been found, and 5,704 heads of Han troops have been found, for a total of 10,383 heads.

But the question is, can this be regarded as the military exploits of Ning Haijun?

If counted, it would be unfair to the soldiers who had made meritorious service in the past. If not counted, I am afraid these Ning Navy officers would not be willing to...

"Everyone, tell me, what should we do?"

Zhou Yandong raised his hand and said: "Report!"

"Old Zhou, tell me!"

"Can't count!"

Zhou Yandong pondered: "But, we should give some rewards to the brothers."

"What a reward!"

"Give me some money or land!"

Shen Mingyu said: "We, Ning Haijun, have military career fields. Although our generals all have military career fields, ordinary soldiers do not. It is not as good as the commander-in-chief to be kind and give them..."

Cheng Shijie nodded and said: "Okay, anyway, we now have a large territory, and there is a lot of land. Let's do this. The Military Affairs Bureau will issue an army-wide announcement telling all the soldiers that our Ninghai Navy will win this battle, and the soldiers will be divided into fifty

They only have the right to use this military land, but they have no inheritance rights or buying and selling rights. They also have to pay taxes at a rate of five dou per mu. Once they retire, this military land will also be taken back."

"Five liters, isn't it too little?"

"That's quite a lot. Fifty acres of land will cost two stones and five buckets!"

"agree!"

"agree!"

"So good!"

Cheng Shijie continued: "Then I will reward all the officers and men in the army five taels of silver. There is one more thing that needs to be explained to the officers and men. Although our Ning Navy officers are said to have military pay every month, I have never told them.

Everyone has distributed military pay, and I’m afraid it has become a joke in the minds of brothers. But the problem is that distributing military pay is also very troublesome, so I thought of a way!"

Saying that, Cheng Shijie waved his hand, and two Ning Haijun attendants came in carrying a large box. Cheng Shijie opened the box and took out a booklet from it. This booklet was very beautifully made. Different from the passbooks of later generations of banks, this passbook had a thick outer cover.

It is a piece of hardwood, mounted with silk. There are four gilded characters printed on the front: "Liaonan Bank!"

Opening the first page, the name of the person holding the passbook was printed in printed fonts, and it read: "Shen Mingyu!"

Cheng Shijie handed the deposit coupon to Shen Mingyu: "This is your deposit coupon. Your military pay is all in it. You can withdraw it at any time at Liaonan Bank in Jinzhou City!"

"mine!"

Shen Mingyu held the bankbook. This passbook has twenty pages in total. The paper on each page is obviously different from ordinary rice paper. It is thicker and has a different feel.

This is a technology brought by Cheng Shijie from later generations. This is tissue paper made of bark fiber. It is white in color, soft and tough, and the fibers are as slender as cotton, so it is called tissue paper.

After Ning Haijun arrived in southern Liaoning, he began hands-on experiments. It took more than two months to successfully produce it. As a separate special paper for passbooks, it can be printed with an embossed plate.

Shen Mingyu picked up a note stuck on the second page and asked doubtfully: "What is this?"

Cheng Shijie explained: "This is the password. You can only withdraw money when you go to the bank with your passbook. Just having a passbook is useless. You must have a corresponding password. This password has a validity period. Starting today, within fifteen days, you can use it to withdraw money."

If this password is used to withdraw or deposit money, if it exceeds fifteen days, a new password will be issued and this password will automatically become invalid!"

Shen Mingyu took the bankbook and seemed to understand: "We Ning Haijun's military pay will not go through the hands of generals at all levels?"

"You still want to get something out of this?"

Zhang Yu immediately said: "Commander, this method is wonderful!"

"How wonderful?"

"Wonderful is wonderful!"

"You're a stick, you don't even know how to flatter me!"

Cheng Shijie then handed out the bankbooks of all the generals one by one.

Although Cheng Shijie had been saying that he would deal with the issue of the Dongjiang Army soldiers after Huang Long came to Liaonan, the problem was that despite this, the Dongjiang Army soldiers also got their own bankbooks.

The northwest watchtower town fortress of Haizhou Acropolis and the temporary military camp of the Dongjiang Army.

Hundreds of soldiers gathered around the bulletin board in the camp. Since most of the soldiers were illiterate, they could only listen to the announcements instead of reading them.

"Sun Xiucai, please tell me what is written on it!"

Sun Xiucai was not a real scholar. He was actually the son-in-law of a merchant. Because he knew some words, could write, calculate and draw, he was called a scholar.

Scholar is a nickname, just like many experts in later generations. Expert is just their nickname and does not represent their real level.

Sun Xiucai said: "This is an order issued by the General Military Mansion. The commander-in-chief said that all our brothers will be given land, each of whom will have fifty acres of military land!"

"We also have..."

"Yes, they all have it. Ordinary soldiers have 50 acres, captains have 60 acres, sentry commanders have 80 acres, commanders have 100 acres, commanders have 200 acres, officers have 300 acres, and commanders have 500 acres."

"Okay, great, we have land too!"

"Now that we have land, can we take my mother over?"

"Not only my mother, but my wife can also take it over!"

"Don't you want a wife??"

"In no mood!"

These Dongjiang Army soldiers have been in Liaonan for almost three months, and they almost unanimously said that they did not want a wife. In fact, many Dongjiang Army soldiers have wives, which is different from Ning Haijun.

Because within the Dongjiang Army, soldiers are the highest paid. Even if they don't have military pay, they can fight and get a share of the materials and property they capture.

Even if you really want your wife, you can't say you want your wife, but you want your children. This habit will actually be the same in later generations, because of Chinese people's habits. No matter how much they think or love, they will not say it lightly.

This is completely opposite to foreigners. They say love is as easy as farting. As a result, countless women have fallen for it.

"Chen Erniu!"

"arrive!"

"This is your bankbook!"
