Chapter 182: People's Hearts
Then, the ministers began to donate wealth, with a total of 200 million taels of silver. These ministers were really fat. It was completely unexpected that they could donate so much at once. Even Emperor Nanhui never thought that he was not the richest.
After Madeko gave the order, he quickly summoned his subordinates. After talking about the task, he took out part of the silver he received and told them: "This time, we must complete the distribution of military pay seriously, and we can no longer be corrupt like before. As long as this time passes, we will live a good life in the future. Everyone remembers it. This time is the real key."
"Yes, Marshal, we all know the intention of the enemy this time. We will definitely complete the Marshal's mission. Please rest assured."
Madeko pointed out very well and then let them go. This time, the main purpose of paying the owed military pay is to let those soldiers know that there is still hope. Otherwise, why would they fight you? It is very important.
The effect was obvious. After receiving the arrears of military pay on the front line, these soldiers immediately changed their habits and became sharper, making it difficult for the Hongyun Dynasty's army to conquer. Fortunately, they were only a temporary aura and were quickly knocked down. However, they were much slower because of this. In Li Shengrong's eyes, they knew that it would not be too smooth. They were just playing before, but they had just started, but they had prepared for a long time, at least they had obtained fifteen cities, enough for them to rest.
As for the logistics personnel, they will be arranged in various cities immediately. Many people naturally become city lords, and at the same time promulgated the laws of the dynasty. Then many merchants came in, part of them for the spoils of the army, and part of them naturally seized the mall. This is also very important. It is very important for merchants. The mall is like a battlefield.
With the addition of merchants, various materials will naturally be in place immediately. At the same time, some unnecessary spoils can be sold for money or supplies, and can also be rewarded for soldiers in the army. These can be solved by themselves in the army.
Although Chen Hong is the emperor, he cannot watch these things all the time. Naturally, they need to adjust themselves. As for these unimportant spoils, they can solve them on their own. For the good future of the army, he also ordered that the army can take two layers of spoils, which refers to the entire army, not the individual, and the individual finds it naturally belongs to the individual.
Of course, these things on the battlefield, such as the treasury in the city or the money from the noble family, are not owned by individuals. However, if you can receive two rewards, it is enough for the army to descend, and the remaining eight layers will be transported to the country and handed over to the national treasury. However, as the emperor, it has a unique layer, and can occupy four layers of the eight layers, that is, half, and the other four layers are in the national treasury.
This is already very rare. At least most kingdoms or empires will not be so layered, at least there are no two layers on the surface. Most of the spoils are owned by the emperor. Even if the ministers or generals want to occupy them, they are only operated privately. As for the treasury, that's all, and in the end, they are all included in the emperor's private treasury.
It can be seen that this law clearly stipulates the classification of spoils, and no one will have any objections. Even the ministers agree. You should know that the emperor only has four layers and the treasury has four layers. These four layers may also be used to reward meritorious ministers. Naturally, they are looking forward to it and do not have to sneak around like ministers in other countries. As long as they have merit, they can get rewards.
The obvious advantage lies, and these soldiers also agree with this, knowing how huge it is to leave two layers in the army. The property of a great noble alone is definitely greater than the spoils they confiscated on the battlefield. As long as they have made contributions, any reward will be much more than what they have gained by themselves, and they can also supervise each other. This is also a reward, with clear layers and strict military discipline.
Fifteen cities are nothing to the entire Nanhui Empire, but don’t forget that the empire is now unstable, and there are many cities occupied by bandits and others. Then the conscription of the empire has been impossible to achieve in various ways, and wealth will be greatly reduced, and the entire empire will become slow to operate, as if it is about to be paralyzed.
This is the role of bandits. They don’t care about national affairs. As long as they can have immediate interests, many bandits are also caused by hatred with the nobles. Once this situation occurs, they will definitely be endless. Those who do such things can understand what the final empire will become. Now it is just a big disaster.
I don’t know which one is more powerful than the disasters of man-made disasters or the disasters of heaven and earth. No one can tell whether it is a great one. However, for the current Nanhui Empire, it is the biggest crisis, which is completely corroding the flesh and blood of the empire and trying to destroy it. This is not only a bandit, but also these ministers. These are all, and the empire is slowly defeated in the hands of these people. It’s a pity.
The empire that is heading to the end is now in chaos. It is obvious that it is impossible to suppress immediately. Some cities at close range are still under control. Many cities have different government orders, and the impotence of the Yin Feng is even more diverse. The city lords don’t care about these things anymore. Their main purpose is to protect their own industries so that they can make a comeback.
As for the army in the western border defense zone of the Nanhui Empire, it was even more decayed. Over the years, they have been doing great things here and enjoying themselves in the small countries nearing each other. They have committed countless sins without regard to what they have done. However, there have been no chaos in the Nanhui Empire. Now, these border defense troops have been driven out, and many kingdoms have gathered their troops to attack.
This news surprised the border guards, but they soon knew why, because the empire now could no longer care about them. The Hongyun Dynasty in the east had already captured fifteen cities of the empire and might have to attack further. So what else can they do in the end? They must have no way to take care of it, not to mention that when they knew that bandits were rampant, there were even more crises.
Of course, many people think that they invite the Immortal Master to help, at least that's what the ministers think, not in the empire, but those sects closed the mountain gate early and did not see any guests. In fact, they also have a lot of pain in their hearts. Who wants their country to be annexed? But their cultivators really cannot interfere with others too much, let alone this time the other party has sufficient reasons.
In fact, the most important thing is that they are afraid that they will not be able to withstand the world of the secular world. Moreover, the Hongyun Dynasty is not without practitioners, but more powerful than ordinary forces. Don’t forget that the Blood Evil Organization is destroyed by aggression, and the hatred between them is very deep.
Many ministers believed that they could cooperate and let the Blood Evil Organization do it. They only needed to pay a little money. In fact, they were already doing it, and the Blood Evil Organization did not refuse. They immediately started to assassinate the generals leading the army, but they did not return forever. The other party obviously had better protection, and their power was stronger than them, and they might need more powerful personnel.
The Blood Evil Organization was also very annoyed. This dynasty could not calm down. Why did it keep causing trouble? There was no news from the organization yet, and they really couldn't find someone with stronger strength to do things. Moreover, if they were occupied a city, the branch of the Blood Evil Organization was destroyed. It was difficult to escape. Unless they had already escaped from the city, it would be difficult to escape.
Faced with such a severe situation, even the huge Blood Evil Organization is powerless. What can these sects do? Don’t hide? They are very jealous of their lives and are unwilling to die in vain. So far, those people have never looked for them or attacked them. In this way, they will separate their hearts. Protecting themselves is the most important thing.
The logistics guarantee was very smooth. In a short period of time, the fifteen cities occupied were already controlled. As the guards, they were just ordinary recruits. There were not many veterans and it was very difficult to treat them as training.
Fortunately, the regular million-dollar army has not been damaged much, and it will be properly handled soon after being injured. After a day or two, it will be intact as before. As for those with disabilities, they will stay for the city guarding, and also for training officials. It can be used perfectly. Military pay will be short of, and life will be guaranteed, so that it will be smoother.
Even after the regular army left, other reserve troops could serve as a protection, allowing each city to be well protected. Moreover, after a period of contact, the civilians of these cities felt that these people were different, very different from the soldiers of the empire. They would not collect various taxes randomly. Even if they occupied the city, they would not plunder them, nor would they bully everything about them, especially women, which obviously did not violate them, which opened their eyes.
In their hearts, they were very grateful that having such an army guarding him was like a patron saint, and their generals obviously did not accept anything from civilians and maintained good military discipline. This was obviously very good. It was also a kind of mentality that made civilians feel at ease, allowing them to stabilize and accept the rule of the new rulers. These methods were all available.
