C790 Intense meeting of the envoys (2/2)

Weng Tonghe's fingers became white, ”Your Majesty … His Majesty was saying that when Xiao Letian's troops fought, they did not prepare any bounty money? ”

Zai Chun nodded his head: ”That's right, not only is there no reward, there is also no military pay, everyone knows that double the amount will be paid during the war, but it will not be given out at that time, but after the war, or directly to the families!”

”Aren't the soldiers afraid of the officers' corruption?” Feng Fu regretted it immediately after he finished speaking, Xiao Letian's subordinates were the officials who had the most rules and regulations, if they were to underestimate the soldiers' pay, the new army would not have been able to win a hundred battles.

Zai Chun shook his head: ”No one will embezzle, every soldier will have an account in the bank, the Military Department will issue books of account, then the bank will allocate funds to the soldiers according to the books of account, how can one embezzle?”

”Besides, these soldiers aren't fighting for money. There are often all kinds of meetings in the new army. When I was in training camp, I had to clarify the goal of today's mission before starting my training every day, and the officers would encourage us to advance bravely …”

”Every night after the training, the class monitor and Queue length will host the day's wrap-up meeting, analyzing everyone's strengths and weaknesses, then changing the praise, the criticism …”

”If it's a war, then it's even more impressive, the higher ranked officers would come down to the front lines, for example, the famous generals of Ryukyu, Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun … Even Wang Huaiyuan from the ISI would walk over to the side of the ordinary soldiers, breaking up the topic to talk about the meaning of this war, and what effect it would have on everyone's future lives … ”

”Even the Prime Minister often participates in such meetings... Look at those Three Treasures, Ma Qun, Duo Luo, and those eight banner lords, they all heard the Prime Minister's lecture … The Prime Minister once said that an army with ideas is the true army of the world, and the loyalty that is tied up with money is always fake! ”

”Hiss …” Everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air, and Weng Tonghe said with an ashen face, ”Didn't all of you want to know what Xiao Letian's fate was before? Now tell me what you feel! ”

Feng Fu stared at the hundred soldiers' backs, their upright waists, neatly ironed uniforms, and valiant temperament, and couldn't help but to let out a cold breath in his heart.

”In the past, I thought that Xiao Letian's heaven's will was in business, but now, I realised that it wasn't just business, but an army! Is he going to do kung fu? ”

After a short moment of silence, Feng Fu slammed the table, ”That's right, I finally understand where Xiao Letian's destiny is, everyone is giving up on me, he is trying to support our enemies in China!”

”They are all well-educated people, and all of them have studied history books. Following Master Weng, we are all great scholars, so you guys should be more clear on the order of business and science than I am …”

”The Saints divided the people into four categories, especially the Ming Dynasty, which had formed an iron law. The merchants were the last of the four people, and even those with tens of thousands of gold could not wear silk clothing. I think everyone here is very clear why the Ming Ancestor arranged everything like this!”

”We all want to know why Xiao Letian, in a short span of a few years, went from a poor homeless person to a tyrant of the East Sea in an instant. Even the imperial court had to look up to him, why is that?”

Xiao Letian's destiny is with the merchants. He knows that the Ming and Qing dynasties were both farmers and labourers, but did not raise any merchants. The merchants had been suppressed for hundreds of years already, and today a group of evil monsters had come to tease them.

”That makes sense!” Master Feng's words are reasonable … ” Everyone was discussing animatedly. Zai Chun, who was sitting in the main seat, wanted to say something, but Weng Tonghe gave him a meaningful glance and the little emperor shut his mouth.
