Chapter 148 King Jin Marches South to Reward the Army

Zhuozhou City, Dragon City Soldiers and Horses Camp.

The King of Jin, Chen Huaian, had personally led the Iron Buddha Tu of Three Thousand Dragons a few days ago, and rushed thousands of miles from Longcheng, the fiefdom of the King of Jin, to Zhuozhou City.

On the same day, Chen Huaian took over the military command of the 350,000 Longcheng army in Zhuozhou City from Chang Yuchun, deputy marshal of Longcheng soldiers and horses and general of Zhengnan.

The army will set off for the southern expedition in three days, with its troops directed towards Mozhou City.

"Report——"

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, a secret report from the Imperial City of the Capital!"

At this time, Jin King Chen Huaian, who was summoning the generals of Dragon City to discuss the southern expedition in the Chinese army's tent, once again received a secret report from the Dragon City internal guards stationed in Jinling City.

When Chen Huaian took the secret report from the ordering soldier and glanced at it for a few times, he couldn't help but reveal a sarcastic smile on his face.

In the tent, the brave general Pang Xianchu couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, the capital has reported secretly, but is there any change in the imperial court?"

Hahaha!

Chen Huaian smiled and said: "Nothing happened, but there is one interesting thing!"

With that said, he shook the secret report and motioned to Pang Xianchu to take it and read it.

Upon seeing this, the latter hurriedly stood up, took the secret report from Chen Huaian's hands with both hands, scanned it quickly, and couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face.

"Your Highness, General Pang, what is going on in the secret report?"

Seeing the reactions of Chen Huaian and Pang Xianchu, Chang Yuchun couldn't help but asked curiously.

Here, Pang Xianchu presented the secret report to Chang Yuchun and said with a smile: "Your Highness, this is not a good sign!"

"Let Qin Ruhui, the traitor, and his blood-sucking worms lying on the body of the new dynasty, take the initiative to take out money to reward the Huben troops stationed in Ying and Mozhou;"

"This shows that Wu Sanjia, the new commander-in-chief of the Huben Army, is indeed a difficult master. The new Huben Army under him may not be as easy to deal with as the imperial court's Yunhui Army and the Japanese soldiers!"

"Your Highness, what General Pang said is absolutely true!"

While talking, Deputy Marshal Chang Yuchun also read the contents of the secret report.

The secret report stated that the Daxin imperial court had allocated 7 million taels of salary to Wu Sanjia in the past few days to pay the salaries of the Huben Army officers and soldiers stationed in Ying and Mozhou.

The secret report also stated that of the seven million taels of salary silver, five million taels were lent to the Household Department of the Daxin imperial court in the name of a puppet businessman supported by Prime Minister Qin Ruhui.

The remaining two million taels that came out of thin air were subsidized by a group of court officials headed by Luo Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, out of their own pockets.

Even the two million taels of silver were not taken from the account of the Ministry of Accounts.

Even the court and Prime Minister Qin Ruhui did not know the existence of this money.

It was the news that was discovered privately by the internal guards of Dragon City who were stationed in the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War.

At the beginning, the imperial court allocated 12 million taels of salary to Wu Sanjia and Huben Army, and only 1 million taels were left. Chen Huaian and all the Longcheng generals knew it.

Chen Huaian was still a little gloating, thinking that even if Kong Ming was alive and Han Xin was reborn, the Daxin Chaotang, which was rotten to the core, could not be saved.

However, what surprised him was that the treacherous Prime Minister Qin Ruhui corrected this mistake in such a short period of time.

This move made Chen Huaian and all the Dragon City generals look at him with admiration.

Chang Yuchun continued: "Your Highness, the last general has fought against Wu Sanjia and Huben's new army. The combat effectiveness of this imperial army is indeed different from any imperial army we have fought before;"

"This new tiger army is full of wildness from top to bottom, as wild as a wolf!"

Immediately, Chang Yuchun recounted his experience of his first defeat in the southern expedition to Chen Huaian and the Dragon City generals:

"After the general was defeated in Mozhou City, he has been reflecting on the reasons for the defeat. In addition to the previous report to His Highness, the general was in a hurry to advance and fell into Wu Sanjia's plan to lure the enemy deeper;"

"Also, Wu Sanjia has a Tiefutu heavy cavalry with a strength of about 3,000 people to assist him, and there is another point that was ignored by the last general;"

After a pause, Chang Yuchun continued: "That is - the Huben New Army under Wu Sanjia has an extremely generous military reward system;"

"It was only later that I learned that most of the new Tiger and Ben army recruited and trained by Wu Sanjia came from the land of Yanzhao with strong folk customs and advocating force;"

"Before the first battle of Mozhou, Wu Sanjia established a system in the Huben army that rewards one enemy's head with thirty taels of silver;"

"So, when the new Tiger Army under his command went to the battlefield and saw the soldiers of our Dragon City troops, every one of them felt as if they had been beaten to death and rushed forward desperately;"

"From the perspective of these Tiger and Guard soldiers in the land of Yanzhao, the soldiers of our Dragon City army are all thirty-tael silver ingots that can move, so naturally they will kill them with all their might;"

"So, the last general said that before the army marched south, the imperial court allocated seven million taels of military pay to Wu Sanjia. This is not good news for our army."

Finally, Chang Yuchun bowed his hand to Chen Huaian and said, "Your Highness, we must not take it lightly when we conquer Mozhou again!"

hehe!

After listening to what Chang Yuchun and Pang Xianchu said, Chen Huaian couldn't help but sneer and said: "The more you say this, the more it arouses my curiosity to see the quality of this Wu Sanjia and to compare him to his own. Heart;"

"I would like to see how much fighting power these seven million taels of silver can inspire Wu Sanjia and Huben's army!"

"He Wu Sanjia has the morale of "a great reward will bring a brave man"; I also have the morale of "the people's support and the people's heart"!"

"Chang Yuchun, Pang Xianchu, Fan Wuji listen to my orders!"

"I am here!"

The three of them stepped forward in unison, clasped their fists and accepted the order.

Chen Huaian said: "Pass the order down, the three armies will assemble, and before the southern expedition, I will personally reward the three armies!"

"I have received your orders!"
