Chapter 236

Zheng Zhibao was right when he thought of Chen YingYuan like this.

At present, the imperial court is like the same party and discriminates against the different. First Fu Wen Tiren doesn't like Chen YingYuan, who was born under the former first Fu seat. It's public.

After becoming governor of Denglai, Chen YingYuan was criticized everywhere by him. His eyes were not eyes and his nose was not nose.

When Chen YingYuan became governor Denglai, he certainly wanted to do something, but every time he applied to the court for money and food, he was scolded and ruthless. He didn't support anything except paying some basic salaries and money and food.

For example, the dongsanfu area experienced a disastrous Wuqiao mutiny. After the mutiny, the place became white and the people's livelihood withered. The imperial court should pull out some money and food to help the place recover.

However, since the court calmed down the Wuqiao mutiny, there was no support in terms of money and food except for some policy support. That is why Chen YingYuan had no choice but to think of the local power of the three East houses.

However, after he did this, governor Denglai did not get the favor or support of local giants. Which of these local giants is not rich and powerful, and which is not someone in the court. If they didn't make a real big mistake, they really don't have to be afraid of this governor. You can't rob my money, can you?

The attitude of the imperial court towards Chen YingYuan determines that he has done nothing. Now anyone can't do anything else without the support of the imperial court.

It is because of this pit father system that local generals began to vigorously cultivate servants. Cultivating servants is the only way for them to deal with this system, but the rise of the servant system does great harm to the Ming Dynasty.

That is the army raised by the money and food of the imperial court. In the end, he will not obey the orders of the imperial court or the general in charge of the army.

It also caused a more vicious cycle, that is, the court's distrust of the generals in charge of the soldiers made them increase their investment in the servants. The servants are their own. No matter who does their own business, it is particularly positive and enthusiastic. If they do public business, the public will naturally pay for it.

As for the war report reported by Denglai last time, the imperial court finally approved it, because the imperial court still had some other channels to make them confirm that the navy of JianNu was indeed destroyed now.

But why is there no reward? Because Daming's military achievements are calculated by the head, the Dengzhou Navy played very well this time and wiped out the JianNu Navy, but there was also a hard injury, that is, no head was cut off.

Whether it is the Ministry of war or the Ministry of household, they only recognize the head. If the Denglai Navy, after winning the war, is not in a hurry to attack other places, but sends their landing ships or sailors to attack and cut off JianNu's head, they will still pay for it. One head will give a sky high price of forty-two.

But now the Denglai Navy won the war, but did not capture any heads, which made the military headquarters very embarrassed, and even suspected that it was lying to the military industry.

In the Daming army, boasting about the great war achievements, falsely reporting military achievements and killing good people have become the norm, which is difficult to seal with some military officials.

The meaning of the imperial court was fed back, which made Zheng Zhibao's father and daughter feel that the pit was dying. This system of the imperial court means that they can't use artillery to solve the problem at all, but use the traditional side contact and gang jumping war to solve the problem, because only the traditional fighting method can capture the enemy's weapons and cut off the enemy's head after the battle.

In this way, it really makes them feel that the pit is going to die. This is to make them give up the advantages of their artillery. They don't need artillery and fire guns. They directly jump onto each other's ship with a knife and cut with each other.

In this way, what is the difference between them and division Lu? The difference is that they are not as good as the land division, which is good at chopping and killing on the ground, and will be beaten by the other party. This is also the reason why the navy has always been a subsidiary of the army and has always been beaten by the other party.

Therefore, the imperial court superficially recognized Zheng Zhibao's report this time, but there was no reward. It recognized his ability as a Dengzhou commander in chief, but wanted a reward. It was simple to exchange his head.

After knowing the meaning of the imperial court, Zheng Zhibao felt like he was splashed down by a plate of water. After he became the commander-in-chief of Dengzhou army, he was full of ambition and wanted to do something, because his Navy was the best and most powerful. They could kill the enemy with powerful artillery, but if they jumped up like an army to cut and kill with each other, This is to attack each other's strengths with their weaknesses. This is an act of giving heads. Let alone whether he can win the war, this approach alone can not be accepted by him.

That's why Zheng Zhibao is not interested in the governor's so-called counter attack on the four guards in southern Liaoning. First, he doesn't want others to deceive him and go to war like a fool. Second, he wants his hands to die in vain.

He Zheng Zhibao couldn't let his men go to fight with the enemy for some money and credit, and finally lose their lives. This is to let his best naval officer die in the stupidest way. He doesn't do this.

Zheng Zhibao colluded with Liu Yuanqiao. They disdained Liu Yuanqiao's practice, because he always thought that with his powerful force, he wanted to make achievements in one sentence. Liu Yuanqiao's practice was conservative and careful. It was like he was afraid of pulling eggs when walking a little bigger. He even thought, He can suddenly send troops and recapture Jinzhou, and he has become a hero. But now the court's practice has poured cold water on him. Let him know that in Daming, no matter what you do, you have to go through accurate planning. You must have someone in the court to protect and speak for you in order to ensure that what you do is correct.

As an officer, no matter what you do, you must be consistent with the imperial court. You will be rewarded only if you do things under the order of the imperial court. If you don't follow the order of the imperial court or perform the system of the imperial court, whatever you do is for nothing.

With these ideas, Zheng Zhibao never mentioned the counter attack on the four guards in southern Liaoning. He didn't do anything except sending a fleet to protect passing ships along the coast.

On the other hand, in addition to the Navy, he is also in charge of the 24 guard stations of the three camps, so he must also be in charge of the food and housing of these people.

After being here, Zheng Zhibao also found that the chief soldier was really bad. The imperial court owed military salaries to a heinous extent.

Moreover, the payment of military pay is really disgusting.

He clearly only pays half of the military pay, but he wants you to sign for all, which means that at least half of their military pay and grain are embezzled and intercepted by the top. If you refuse to sign and confirm that they receive all, they won't give it to you. If you starve to death and initiate a military mutiny, he doesn't care.

In order to make money, these civil servants have nothing to do and are fearless. They don't dare to stretch out their hands, because this is the practice of the imperial court. The moment Liang Xiang was pulled out of the imperial court, it has been intercepted and exploited by others. It is not enough to distribute it to the local military reserve Road, and local officials have to exploit it, The soldiers don't have much money.

Therefore, the Ming Court defaulted on military pay, which was extremely serious, but in the eyes of these officials, they paid it on time without any arrears. If there was any arrears, it was that these soldiers were unwilling to receive it.

How dark should these people be? They killed the invincible Qi family army in East Asia. The Jizhou mutiny in the 23rd year of Wanli shocked the whole Daming military community. Since this incident, the military soul of the Daming army has completely disappeared. They are very afraid and think about the war.

As a general in charge of the army, he can't concentrate on leading the war. He also has to think about other things.

They should consider whether the grain can be distributed on time, whether their sacrifice is correct and whether they are right to do so? Is your practice in line with the appetite of senior officials of the imperial court? Is it within the system of the imperial court?

Fighting in the army is a very dangerous thing. You may not be able to fight well if you go all out. After thinking about things, it's strange that you have a lot of concerns and are invincible. This is also the reason why the Ming Court has been demoralized and the army has been weak to the extreme in a short period of more than ten years. It has allowed rogue bandits to run everywhere inside and built slaves to fight outside.

Zheng Zhibao is full of blood and has the idea of serving the country and making achievements. However, after he became the chief soldier, these civil servants taught him a lesson and watered out his blood.

There are too many things to consider when becoming the commander in chief. He knows that if everything depends on the meaning of the imperial court and the governor, it is estimated that his army will be consumed today next year.

Zheng Zhibao is different from ordinary people. Under ordinary generals, soldiers die when they die. If the general is kind, he will burn and bury silver. If the general is greedy enough and black enough, even burning and burying silver can blacken you. Most of Zheng Zhibao's subordinates are brothers who live and die with him. Many people know each other. They are a family.

If someone is killed in battle, they have to pay a lot of pensions as resettlement expenses. Therefore, it is very unacceptable for them to die in battle. Soldiers are consumables in others, but they are completely different. They are their brothers and their families. If there is one casualty, it is a great loss.

Therefore, after Zheng Zhibao saw through the essence of the imperial court and Chen YingYuan, he began to agree with Liu Yuanqiao's practice.
