Emperor Chongzhen took the list, flipped through it a few times, and found that the number of verified Jinyiwei soldiers was about 20,000.
This was the Imperial Guard, and the most respected Jinyi Guard among the Imperial Guards. But even so, with so many people being paid for nothing, the situation of the other guards would only be worse!
But Emperor Chongzhen no longer cared at this time. He just wanted to overturn the table and rebuild the Ming Dynasty, so he just had to break all these jars and pots!
He returned the list to Leo Li and said, "Take the list to the Queen to ask for money. If it's not enough, tell the Jinyiwei soldiers that they will send more money tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and they will definitely make up for their arrears."
In fact, it was impossible to calculate how much wages many guards owed. Therefore, the soldiers were only paid three years' worth of wages. On the Jinyiwei side, the archives were more complete and the historical records of wage arrears could be found.
