21 Regret
At the same time, Gao Qiqian actually knew that the money he paid out of his own pocket would not be all the soldiers at all. His words were fundamentally still being discussed with these generals!
A 50,000 army had to take out a total of 100,000 taels of silver. It was not too much, but it was not too little.
For Gao Qiqian himself, as the director, he finally got the military salary and supplies he had finally obtained, which was only about 100,000 taels of silver. According to the purchasing power at the end of the Wanli period, if it was converted into RMB in later generations, it could be calculated as one tael of silver and five hundred yuan, and one hundred thousand taels would be 50 million yuan. It would be enough for Gao Qiqian to pay so much money alone. But he had no choice. If he didn't pay this money and didn't talk about the army to save Lu Xiangsheng, he might not even have his life.
For the soldiers of the Ming army at the bottom, it was dark and windy in the cold winter. They ran to fight against powerful enemies and only 1,000 yuan was worth the silver price! What's more, even if this thousand yuan was believed or not, most of the money would be deducted by the generals!
Gao Qiqian's heart was bleeding, his eyes were wide open, and his expression was a little ferocious. He thought to himself, our family was already bleeding heavily, and anyone who dared to disagree, if you find a reason, don't blame us for being rude!
If you come out and have to follow the rules!
Yang Tinglin below looked at this scene for some reason, and for some reason, he felt happy and happy for no reason! Especially when he looked at Gao Qiqian, who seemed to be dead, he was even more happy!
Who told you to take charge of Secretary Lu before? He was so ruthless that he not only transferred all the soldiers, but also cut off the food and supplies of Secretary Lu!
If at that time, as long as you, the dead eunuch, were a little better to Lu Shangshu, you wouldn't have to be so anxious now!
However, when he remembered that Lu Xiangsheng still needed Gao Qiqian to save him, he did not reveal his thoughts. He turned to look at the men in the hall and wanted to ask for help Gao Qiqian, the dead eunuch. After all, the overall situation is the most important.
These generals led the army felt pressure after Gao Qi vomited blood and took out 20,000 taels of silver. After all, they were generals of the Ming Dynasty and warriors under Gao Qiqi's command. Whoever dared to fight against him? Unless he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty immediately, there would be a chance to settle accounts in the future.
However, if possible, they would not want to fight head-on with the Qing army, and they would fight in field. You should know that except for the Qing army who had serious battles when they first entered the pass, the Ming army watched the Qing army looting inside the pass, and then followed the Qing army to leave the pass. Once, Ajige, who was commanding the army, even asked someone to write a sign. Thanks to the Ming army for their farewell, which is very ironic!
None of these generals led the army was the first to stand up to respond to Gao Qiqian's words. They were all lucky and hoped that other generals could continue to complain so that they could follow up. The atmosphere in the lobby became more awkward for a moment.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, and the sound of footsteps quickly came to the lobby.
Based on the situation in the previous few times, everyone in the lobby subconsciously thought, would the emperor send a gold medal eunuch to urge him?
This time, they were really not wrong. Sure enough, in just a moment, they saw a dusty Jinyi Guard escorting an eunuch into the lobby.
The eunuch saw the situation in the lobby, without saying a word, took out a gold medal and shouted loudly at everyone in the lobby: "The emperor has an order. If Shangshu Lu dies in battle, Gao Qiqi will bear his life. Any general who fails to rescue will be punished according to the law!"
This time, the emperor's decree was even more meaningful than the previous three gold medals. Anyone could feel that the emperor's determination to save Lu Xiangsheng was higher than the sky and deeper than the sea!
I have to say that everyone was shocked! They thought in their hearts whether Lu Xiangsheng was smoking from the ancestral tomb, and the emperor was so valued. One by one, one gold medal after another was chasing him, just to protect Lu Xiangsheng!
At this moment, some of them were even thinking that if the former Song Yue and Wumu knew that I, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had repeatedly issued gold medals to protect a minister. I wonder if he would change his view of the gold medal, and I wonder if he would wish he could be born in the Ming Dynasty?
After the golden eunuch finished speaking, the faces of the generals in the hall all looked a little ugly. The emperor's life fell directly to their side, and the rescue was not effective. At that time, the director Gao Qiqian would say something, so he would have the order and he could directly convict them!
Thinking of this, they did not dare to look at the situation anymore, and responded to Gao Qiqian and would do their best to rescue Shangshu Lu!
In the original history, the Qing Dynasty's entry into the pass caused great losses to the Ming Dynasty. Two governors were killed in battle, and even the Dewang family was arrested, and countless losses were caused. Afterwards, the responsibility was held accountable, and a total of 33 people including the governor, the general, were killed by Emperor Chongzhen.
Besides, Gao Qiqian breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that all these **s agreed. In fact, with the emperor's latest gold medal order, he was already very confident.
At this time, looking at the generals below, he felt ruthless and shouted coldly: "This time we rescue Shangshu Lu, our family is behind you. Whoever falls in the end will be suspected of being ineffective in rescue. Haha, don't blame our family for not missing the old love at that time!"
It was obvious that he remembered what had just happened and wanted to take revenge! After hearing this, the generals in the hall looked very ugly. If he had known this, he would have responded to the director with ease!
Yang Tinglin, who was standing, focused on saving Shangshu Lu. After sighing about the emperor's attention to Shangshu Lu, he found that the generals in the lobby seemed to have low morale and looked dejected, and he was worried that it would affect the rescue.
After a brain teaser, Yang Tinglin immediately said loudly: "Shangshu Lu only won the Qing army at Haoshuiqiao with just 5,000 tired troops. Moreover, in the letter Lu Shangshu's previous letter to Director Gao, there was already a plan to defeat the Qing army..."
When he said this, Gao Qiqian immediately remembered the letter he had torn before. At this moment, he thought of it as if he had caught a life-saving straw. He nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, Lu Shangshu does have a clever plan!"
Many generals saw this scene and couldn't help but wonder: Before, Director Gao despised Shangshu Lu for wanting to learn from the King of Chu. Isn't it because of the inability to make plans, but because of the butt problem?
