Everyone knelt upright, their bodies obeying Jiang Tian's words.
“My men entered the Marshal’s mansion yesterday to search Murong Chui’s house.”
"I heard that there is a treasure pavilion in the Marshal's Mansion, filled with a dazzling array of gold and silver jewels of all kinds, and the quantity is astonishing."
Everyone knows that Jiang Tian is a tough nut to crack.
But they never expected that Jiang Tian would attack Murong Chui as soon as he entered the city.
A large portion of the civil and military officials in the court were subordinates of Murong Chui.
Jiang Tian paused here, looking at everyone's reactions.
However, the crowd did not react.
"All the gold and silver jewelry seized will be used to reward the soldiers who fought bravely on the battlefield," Jiang Tian continued.
"For each Russian killed, a reward of 500 taels of silver will be given; for each Russian captured, a reward of 1,000 taels of silver will be given."
"Generals who lead troops will receive cumulative rewards."
Everyone became interested as soon as they heard this.
"My lord, what does it mean that rewards for leading troops are cumulative?"
"This is easy to explain." Jiang Tian glanced at everyone. "For example, if you have 1,000 soldiers under your command, and they kill a total of 200 Rakshasa people..."
In addition to rewarding each soldier with five hundred taels of silver, I also rewarded the general who led the troops with the same amount of silver.
This means that the general leading the troops would receive 100,000 taels of silver.
Everyone was incredibly excited upon hearing this.
The military generals, in particular, were eager to fight.
"Your Excellency is truly wise."
"With your words, sir, I am eager to try and prepare to go into battle to kill the enemy."
"Rest assured, sir, we will not hesitate to die on the battlefield."
Jiang Tian nodded: "Even if I die on the battlefield, I will personally deliver the silver to your home."
"As long as you kill someone, or your men kill someone, I won't shortchange you a single tael of silver."
A generous reward will surely attract brave men.
Don't worry about these people not being fierce. As long as you pay them enough, they will go into battle and kill enemies.
A murmur of discussion arose from below.
"Adults are still the best."
"How badly have we been bullied by Murong Chui over the years? How much silver have we had to pay him every year?"
"Now we have the opportunity to get back all the silver that we paid as tribute to Murong Chui."
"I not only want to get back all the silver that was paid as tribute to Murong Chui, but I also want to make a huge profit."
"We can avenge our deceased family members and make money at the same time. It's a win-win situation, so why not?"
Seeing the military officers all grinning from ear to ear, the civil officials stood there dumbfounded.
Suddenly someone shouted.
"My lord, there is something I wish to discuss, but I wonder if it is permissible..."
"Speak..."
"Murong Chui is a treacherous villain who has brought disaster to the country and its people. He is corrupt, lawless, and has slaughtered countless lives, leaving behind endless harm."
"I believe that he should be executed along with his entire family, no, his entire clan, by being exterminated and subjected to slow slicing."
"Yes, yes, that bastard Murong Chui is really too hateful. If we don't execute him, we won't be able to swallow this anger."
"Murong Chui has brought disaster to the country and the people and deserves to die. Please, Your Excellency, you must execute his entire family and exterminate his nine generations of relatives."
"It would be best to execute him by slow slicing."
All the officials in the court agreed with this.
It's true what they say: when a wall falls, everyone pushes it down; when a drum is broken, everyone beats it.
Most of these people were Murong Chui's cronies.
When they realized that Murong Chui's power was waning, everyone chose to betray him.
Not only that, they'll kick you a few more times when you betray them.
It is the evil of human nature.
"Absolutely."
Jiang Tian stood up with a smile.
"Today's morning assembly is now adjourned."
"Brave warriors," Jiang Tian said, looking at the generals standing on his right, "I look forward to your performance on the battlefield. Fight with confidence and courage, and we will provide you with strong support."
"I guarantee those Rakshasa people can't harm you."
All the military generals knelt down before Jiang Tian once again.
"We are grateful to you, sir."
Jiang Tian laughed heartily and walked out of the palace hall.
Just then, Chen Jianghe strode forward.
"Sir, here is a letter that came from the direction of the capital." Chen Jianghe took out a letter from his sleeve.
The paper of this letter has turned somewhat yellow.
It's clear that this letter has been going back and forth for some time now.
Jiang Tian took the letter and read it; it was written by Empress Qian Renxue.
Jiang Tian opened the envelope.
Qian Renxue was about to give birth, and not only that, she also gave birth to twins for him.
These twins are a boy and a girl.
Jiang Tian took the letter and read it carefully over and over again.
"Haha... I'm a dad now."
"Empress Qian Renxue is truly capable," Jiang Tian muttered to himself. "It seems the war against Luocha Kingdom needs to end quickly."
Once the war against the Rakshasa Kingdom ended, Jiang Tian headed straight for Tai'an City, the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Chen Jianghe, come with me." Jiang Tiantian went straight to the study.
We arrived at the study.
"Grind the ink for me and prepare the paper."
Jiang Tian couldn't stop smiling.
I wonder if Shangguan Wan'er has already given birth in Dongying.
If Shangguan Wan'er has already given birth to a child in Japan, then Jiang Tian would have at least three children.
Jiang Tian felt excited just thinking about it.
Several palace maids quickly spread out the paper, and soon the ink was ground.
Jiang Tian lay there, writing for a long time.
Finally, a long letter was written.
