Chapter 1359 The boss is awesome!

"it is good."

Shen Yi didn't have much mood swings.

Because this surrender, although important to him and the entire war, is not necessary.

In other words, if the Zhou family and his son do not surrender, Shen Yi will not have to fight, but it will be delayed for one or two years, two or three years.

As for logistical supply issues.

Along the way, the land occupied by Shen Yi was not a barren land. The vast plains of Shandong and Henan were the best places!

It's better to be cruel and rest in place for more than half a year. The logistical problem of food and grass will no longer exist.

However, the surrender of the Southern Conquest Army is generally beneficial to the current situation. After all, although Shen Yi is a hardliner, he is not a war fanatic. It would be better if this war can be ended as soon as possible.

Mr. Shen looked at Zhou Yuanlang quietly and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhou should be the biggest beneficiary of this incident."

The expression on Zhou Yuanlang's face was a little unnatural. He lowered his head slightly and said, "This kind of benefit..."

Shen Yi smiled and laughed: "Mr. Zhou or the heart of the pseudo -pseudo?"

"Don't dare."

He took a deep breath, lowered his head and said, "I am not very happy that my father and son can abandon the darkness and turn to the light."

"That's good."

Shen Yi said calmly: "My wife still has a few children, so it is not suitable for long-distance travel, so I will live in Jinghai first. Ten days later, I will go to Cangzhou to accept the surrender. On the day of the surrender, I will send someone to take my wife and several children to Jiankang.”

"At that time, your father and son should also go to Jiankang to accept the reward."

Such things must be eligible to do such things to be eligible.

Especially the tens of thousands of people who were surrendered.

Among the entire Huai'an army, even Ling Su was not qualified enough to accept surrender. Only Shen Yi could go to Cangzhou to accept surrender.

And this matter is very important, so even if the Northern Expedition is currently underway, Shen Yi must spare a few days to go to Cangzhou to accept the surrender.

After all, after the surrender, there were still more than 50,000 soldiers in the Southern Conquest Army who needed him to reorganize.

Zhou Yuanlang had foreseen that Shen Yi would go to Cangzhou in person, so he was not too surprised. He just lowered his head slightly and said: "One more thing, there is a small group of Zhu Li Zhenren in the southern army. Although they They are foreigners, but they will surrender together after all. Please show your support when the time comes..."

"Spare their lives."

Shen Yi thought about it for a while and said: "This is not difficult, but these people must not stay in the army. I can make the decision and give them the identity of Dachen people. From now on, they will no longer be Zhuli Zhenren."

"But if they cause trouble afterwards."

Mr. Shen said expressionlessly: "I can't spare them either."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

Zhou Yuanlang bowed his head: "That's it, this will leave Jinghai and turn to Cangzhou."

Shen Yi nodded lightly: "I still have a lot to do here, so I will send you not far away."

He stood up, walked Zhou Yuanlang to the door of the study, and then said: "Jiang Sheng, send Mr. Zhou off for me."

Jiang Sheng lowered his head in response, and sent Zhou Yuanlang all the way to the gate, and then asked someone to lead the horse to him. When Jiang Sheng finished seeing off the people and returned to the study, Shen Yi had already finished writing a note, and he put the paper He handed the note to Jiang Sheng and said, "Send it to the front line and ask Su Ding to come back and see me when he can find time in the next two days."

Jiang Sheng lowered his head.

Shen Yi didn't even raise his head and continued to write furiously: "In a moment, there will be a few more documents to be sent out, two to Jiankang and one to Zhou Huai. They are all very important documents and cannot be neglected."

At this point, Shen Yi stopped moving his hands, and then said: "Especially the two portions given to Jiankang."

Jiang Sheng lowered his head: "I'm going to give this one away first."

Shen Yi nodded.

After Jiang Sheng left, Li Zhun, who was sitting on the side of the study, stood up and sent the written draft to Shen Yi. He lowered his head and said, "Zhongcheng, this is the draft of the document to be sent to Zhongshu. Please take a look at the general idea. , if the effect is good, the student will polish the transcript."

Shen Yi took it and took a look, then nodded: "Well, that's what it means, just write it down."

After saying this, he looked up at Li Zhun and said with a smile: "Mr. Li has done a lot more effectively recently and deserves praise."

Li Zhun lowered his head, his face a little red: "Students used to think they were talented and learned, so they relied on their talents and were arrogant. Only after following Zhongcheng during this time did I understand Zhongcheng's hard work."

"It is a great honor for the student to do something for an official like Zhong Cheng." Mr. Shen smiled and said, "When the matter in the north is settled, I will recommend you to the imperial court and find you an official position."

Li Zhun quickly lowered his head: "Zhongcheng, the student just hopes to be with Zhongcheng all the time. Even if he just copies documents, he will be satisfied."

Li Zhun naturally understands the truth about the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister.

His position is roughly equivalent to Shen Yi's secretary. To be precise, it is part of the secretary.

The other big part is done by Jiang Sheng.

But even so, it is enough. In the future, when Shen Yi returns to the court in triumph, he will surely become a very popular minister. Following Shen Yi will have a much better future than going out to be an official.

Shen Yi was very busy at the moment. He had to write letters to the emperor and arrange the battlefield near Yandu. He didn't think too much about this issue and just said lightly: "Let's talk about it later."

"Hurry up and write it. The document I will send to the palace will be written soon and will be sent to Jiankang."

"Yes."

As the writing brush rose and fell in Lord Shen's study, several documents "flyed" out of his study one after another, flying towards Jiankang and into the hands of the military commanders.

Among them, the two letters to Jiankang were still sent out by the inner guards at an urgent cost of 600 miles. On the afternoon of the fourth day after three days, they were delivered to the Ganlu Hall in the Imperial City of Jiankang and delivered to the hands of His Majesty the Emperor.

At this moment, Emperor Hongde was talking to Prime Minister Chen Jing. The eunuch Sun Jin, holding Shen Yi's secret letter in his hand, approached cautiously and whispered: "Your Majesty, frontline clerk."

The emperor frowned and turned back to glare at Sun Jin, a little unhappy.

"Didn't you see that I was talking to Mr. Chen? There are no rules at all."

Sun Jin was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a plop, lowered his head and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, six hundred miles is urgent, the documents are sent by Lord Shen."

Chen Jing, who was on the side, looked at Eunuch Sun on the ground, then looked at the emperor, lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, since it is an urgent document for six hundred miles, you should take a look first. As for the salary of Jiankang officials, After two days, after the minister returned, he discussed with Zhao Xiang to see if the household could squeeze a little more money. "

"At least, give me a month's salary first to deal with it."

The emperor sighed helplessly, and while taking the document from Sun Jin's hand, he said: "How can the Ministry of Revenue be in arrears with salary arrears for so long? Let me take out one hundred thousand taels of silver from the internal funds, and first pay Jiankang’s salary will be extended.”

At this point, Emperor Hong De said in a low voice: "If it happens again like yesterday, when officials went to the household department to gather people to cause trouble, I will never give you mercy."

Chen Jing bowed his head respectfully: "Yes, I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

The emperor had already opened the letter at this moment, and after just one glance, his eyes were firmly attracted by the letter.

"Then veteran..."

Chen Jing lowered his head and said: "I'm resigning now. Later, I will ask officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs to come and coordinate this matter with Eunuch Sun..."

"it is good!"

Emperor Hongde, who was sitting peacefully, suddenly jumped up out of thin air, with excitement visible to the naked eye: "Okay!"

Chen Jing was stunned.

At this moment, he thought the emperor was crazy.

The current Prime Minister stood there stunned, looking at his boss who was almost crazy. He couldn't help but swallowed and whispered: "Your Majesty, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, it's better not to pay for this matter from the internal treasury. Sir... Sir, I'll think of other ways."

"Hahaha!"

Emperor Hong De strode up to Chen Jing and patted the old man's shoulder hard, almost knocking the Prime Minister Zhongshu to the ground!

"What are you thinking of? I said I would pay, and I will pay!"

At this moment, Emperor Hongde's heart was full of pride. He stretched out five fingers, which was very grand.

"I'm going out..."

He thought for a while, then withdrew three fingers, and said with a hearty smile: "I will give 200,000 taels of silver to the Ministry of Finance and ask the Ministry of Finance to pay all the salary arrears!"

Old Man Chen looked thoughtfully at the letter in the emperor's hand, then quietly wiped the ambergris on his face with his sleeve, lowered his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, it's more than two hundred thousand taels, and it only took half a year." My salary is not that much..."

"The extra parts will be sent out at the same time!"

Emperor Hong De patted Old Chen's shoulders with both hands and smiled brightly.

"Just think of it as a reward from me!"
