Yangzhou Yanyuan Yamen
In the official hall of Yanyuan Yamen, there are five main halls with wide open doors and windows. The slightly dark light in the early morning shines in the halls.
Two rows of black wooden armchairs sit opposite each other. On the left are Qi Kun and Lin Ruhai, and on the right are Yangzhou salt merchants and Yangzhou prefect Yuan Jichong.
Because the salt merchant Wang Shouqi had already gone to Jinling, and Bao Zuhui and Huang Cheng were kidnapped by Cheng Peili and escaped, only Jiang Tong, Huang Rishan, and Xiao Hongsheng were present, sitting together with Qi Kun and Lin Ruhai, looking anxious.
At this moment, in the streets and alleys of Yangzhou, all the cavalry troops of Henan Dusi were galloping back and forth. Compared with the previous Jin Yiti Cavalry Guangpai, their momentum was three times more terrifying than that of the whole city.
If you add that Cheng Peili, a well-known salt merchant in Yangzhou City, lived in a manor that was inspected by officers and soldiers in uniform, the eerie atmosphere of "white terror" almost overwhelmed all the salt merchants.
Liu Shengzao frowned and looked at Qi University, who was wearing a scarlet robe official uniform and a black gauze official hat, and asked: "Mr. Qi Ge, Uncle Yongning didn't go to Jinling, why did he return to Yangzhou? Why did he send so many troops?" The arrests on the street have caused people to panic again.”
After saying that, he turned to look at Yuan Jichong and said, "Master Yuan, do you know the reason?"
Yuan Jichong, the prefect of Yangzhou, said: "The prefect's Yamen has sent soldiers to assist and pacify the people in the city, but we don't know the specific information and we don't know how to inform the people in the city."
Qi Kun looked indifferent and looked at the two people who were singing together and said, "Didn't Jin Yi, who was informed earlier, say that yesterday the fugitive prisoners of the Ma family came to rob the prison, and it happened that the soldiers and horses from Henan went to Yangzhou to wipe out all the remnants of the Ma family? "
Liu Shengzao seemed to be pretending to be puzzled and asked: "The Ma family robbed the prison? Why did they mobilize troops from Henan?"
After a series of inquiries in the early morning, Liu Shengzao and the Yangzhou salt merchants already knew that it was Henan Dusi's elite cavalry that was enforcing martial law and conducting arrests.
"I have to ask Uncle Yongning about this. He is now taking over the Jiangbei camp, taking charge of military affairs, and transferring troops from the Central Plains to Jianghuai. I think he has his own considerations." Qi Kun picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said calmly.
Glancing at the frightened Yangzhou salt merchants and even Liu Shengzao, Qi Kun felt cold in his heart. He had known this, so why did he do it in the first place?
If we cooperate well, why should the imperial court send Jinyi to intervene?
After being stuck in a quagmire in Yangzhou for more than half a year, a fire in the Salt Transportation Department burned all the account books and even slapped the cabinet minister on the face. Today was a chance to vent his anger.
Lin Ruhai stared at Liu Shengzao, whose expression changed, and muttered: "Master Liu, please be patient. The Yanyuan has sent a clerk to invite Uncle Yongning."
As he lowered his eyes, his heart felt a little unsettled, and thoughts appeared on his elegant face.
Ziyu didn't go to Jinling with Yu'er, why did he quietly return to Yangzhou alone? What should Yu'er do in Jinling?
Jiang Tong suppressed the doubts and fears in his heart for the time being and asked Huang Rishan, "Why haven't Mr. Bao and Brother Huang come yet? It's almost time."
The salt merchants present also had friends for ten or twenty years. Bao Zuhui and Huang Cheng were not present, which was somewhat unusual.
As soon as these words came out, Huang Rishan also frowned, and seemed to be confused and said: "I sent someone to inform you before coming here, but for some reason, I haven't come here yet. It should be said that such a big thing happened in Yangzhou..."
….
Xiao Hongsheng frowned, and there was a thought in his heart, and he felt that the situation might not be good.
Liu Shengzao sneered, seizing the opportunity, and said sarcastically: "Don't be accused of colluding with the Donglu again. He has already been caught in the prison by Jinyi Mansion and tortured."
Jiang Tong, Huang Rishan, Xiao Hongsheng: "..."
Lin Ruhai's expression was gloomy and he answered, "What does Mr. Liu mean by this? Mr. Liu was also a witness to the previous Donglu assassination. Then the Donglu assassin confessed that the Ma family colluded with Donglu. The evidence was conclusive. What did Mr. Liu say? Are you willing to surrender?"
"The assassination is true, but there is no evidence that the Ma family colluded with the Donglu." Liu Shengzao sneered and said sarcastically.
"The Ma family has already confessed relevant witnesses." Lin Ruhai looked slightly cold and said in a low voice: "If Mr. Liu is not convinced, you can treat Uncle Yong Ning
When he comes, he asks questions face to face. Is it the behavior of a gentleman to remain silent to his face and make irresponsible remarks behind his back? "
Hearing this, Liu Shengzao was about to open his mouth to argue a few more words.
Suddenly, at this moment, I heard the scribe outside entering the hall and saying loudly, "Master Lin, Uncle Yongning is here."
When everyone in the official hall heard this, their hearts shivered slightly, and they stood up one after another and went out to greet him. Even Liu Shengzao closed his mouth and followed the others to greet him with a gloomy expression.
Just after bypassing the tall screen wall, I saw a large number of Jinyi palace guards wearing Feiyu uniforms and embroidered spring knives at the waist from the Yanyuan Yamen gate downstairs. A passage is facing the exhaust.
A large number of generals and lieutenants in brocade clothes were surrounding a tall and tall young man in black robes and a black crown. He strode forward with a sword in one hand. On the left was a handsome Qianhu in brocade robes.
The salt merchants present, Qi Kun, Lin Ruhai, and Liu Shengzao looked at the young man who was looking forward to Zixiong, walked closer, stood still, and felt timid in their hearts.
Jia Heng glanced at the panic-looking salt merchants, his eyes fell on the faces of Qi Kun and Lin Ruhai, and said solemnly: "Masters Qi Lin, just last night, Ma Xianjun's son Ma Zesheng led the pirates to sneak into Yangzhou City. Wanting to kidnap his father Ma Xianjun and escape, we have sent troops to arrest him. The person who escorted Ma Xianjun's son into Yangzhou City was Cheng Peili, the in-law of the Ma family, the head of the Cheng family. He is a general merchant in the salt industry, and the army is setting up a dragnet to hunt down the real culprit."
Several salt merchants looked at each other in shock when they heard this.
At this time, the four major merchants, Ma, Cheng, Bao, and Huang, were all involved. Could it be that half of the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou were among them?
Liu Shengzao was a third-grade official after all. His eyes flashed coldly and he asked the three salt merchants the question they wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, "All three families, the Cheng family, the Bao family, and the Huang family, actually colluded?"
"Liu Yunshi, I didn't say that." Jia Heng suddenly stared at Liu Shengzao, his tiger-like gaze almost startled the latter, and said: "According to Ma Zesheng's confession, the Cheng family took care of Ma Zesheng. , helped to rob the prison, and are an accomplice! The evidence of this matter is conclusive, and there are confessions from relevant prisoners as evidence. As for Bao and Huang, why are they in the Cheng family, I am afraid that they will have to be questioned. "
Qi Kun glanced at Liu Shengzao and asked, "Master Jia, Master Liu asked just now that the pursuit of relevant criminals can only be carried out by the soldiers and horses of the Jiangbei camp. Why did the soldiers and horses of the Henan Dusi come to Yangzhou?"
….
Jia Heng looked at Liu Shengzao, his eyes scrutinizing, and said, "Did Ambassador Liu Yun ask?"
Liu Shengzao looked unnatural and asked: "There are soldiers and horses in the Jiangbei camp. I don't know why Mr. Jia mobilized soldiers and horses from Henan. He spent so much effort and looked far away from the near. I have doubts in the minds of the subordinates."
Jia Heng's face turned cold and he scolded: "This is the military chief, and the cabinet can still ask questions. How dare you, a little salt transport envoy, only a third-rank person, dare to make random inquiries?"
When Liu Shengzao heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and a sense of humiliation gradually welled up in his heart. Under his intense gaze, he cupped his hands and said, "I'm the official... I'm presumptuous."
When Yangzhou Magistrate Yuan Jichong and several salt merchants saw this scene, they looked at each other with unspeakable fear.
In other words, Jia Heng's previous kind words almost made these salt merchants and Liu Shengzao forget that this was not only a military commander, but also an important military minister who went in and out of temples to assist the king of Zuo.
What grade? You dare to ask me about military affairs?
Liu Shengzao was reprimanded as a subordinate, which was a disgrace.
Chen Xiao glanced at the sharp-tongued young man. Well, this man knew how to use the power of a fox to fake the power of a tiger. It was hard to associate him with the young man who was holding Princess Chu up and down.
Chen Xiao's eyes narrowed a bit, and he felt a wave of anger coming over him.
But she was thinking of some unworthy things in the past. Every time she thought about it in the past few days, she had to rinse her mouth many times.
Jia Heng turned to look at Qi Kun and explained to Qi Kun: "Since I was stationed in Yangzhou, the bandits have sneaked into Yangzhou City one after another, causing trouble and disturbing the people. However, the relevant generals and soldiers of the Jiangbei camp were unable to check early and take precautions in advance. , causing panic among the people in Yangzhou City. Therefore, I have long wanted to organize the camp affairs, and now I will dispatch cavalry troops from the Henan Dusi to quell the chaos.
Reorganize the military equipment in the north of the Yangtze River and build the defense of the Yangtze River. By chance, the Ma family was so bold that they tried to hijack the prison! "
This is an explanation to Qi Kun, and it also eases the salt merchants' doubts. Don't panic, this is a technical adjustment.
As soon as this statement came out, the salt merchants present fell into deathly silence.
Liu Shengzao's heart suddenly trembled, and he could faintly hear a hint of evil intentions.
Is it really for this reason that Henan soldiers and horses are mobilized, and there is no other intention?
"As for the prison robbery and collusion with the Eastern captives, the soldiers will hunt down the prisoners from the Cheng family and interrogate them carefully, and they will be able to get to the bottom of the truth." Jia Heng said in a deep voice, looking at the three salt merchants Jiang, Huang, and Xiao, and asked the three salt merchants Zhang's pale face turned into his eyes and he said: "Speaking of which, this is not the time when Ma Xianjun and his son intercepted and killed my Jinyi detective. Last year, Beijing sent detectives to Jiangnan to investigate important matters. When passing through Yangzhou, Ma Xianjun and his son intercepted and killed me. , How can I tolerate these crazy and rebellious people?"
"Uncle Yong Ning said that." Jiang Tong, Huang Rishan, and Xiao Hongsheng said quickly, with a thick layer of haze already covering their hearts.
Lin Ruhai smoothed things over and said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the official hall and talk."
Jia Heng nodded, stretched out his hand to invite you and said, "Mr. Qi Ge, Master Lin, please."
This sentence seemed to wake up all the merchants and officials present. They stared at the young man in python suit who entered the official hall with Qi Kun and Lin Ruhai under the guards of Jinyi Mansion. They were shocked and frightened unconsciously, and they no longer knew what to say. That's good.
….
Jia Heng came to the official hall and sat down with Qi Kun and Lin Ruhai.
Qi Kun pondered for a moment and asked, "Why did the Ma family collude with the Cheng family last night?"
Jia Heng said: "Ma Xianjun sneaked into the city through the waterway and hid in the manor where the Cheng family lived. He thought that the official was not in Yangzhou and took the opportunity to kidnap Ma Xianjun. This is a whimsical and wishful thinking!"
Qi Kun pondered for a moment and asked a question that everyone was concerned about: "Now that the Yangzhou cavalry is out in all directions, people are uneasy. I wonder when it will return to normal?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Qi. Once Cheng Peili is captured, the troops can be withdrawn. It will not affect the daily life of the people of Yangzhou." Jia Heng said, looking at the governor of Yangzhou, Yuan Jichong, and said, "Sir Yuan, there have been many soldiers in Yangzhou City recently. There are frequent movements of horses, and the Yangzhou government must lead the way and not cause any trouble."
Yuan Jichong did not dare to neglect, and quickly stood up and raised his hands and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Yongning, I have sent three squads of government officials to receive the army's search and arrests, and ensure that there will be no trouble on the ground in Yangzhou."
Jia Heng turned to look at Qi Kun and said: "This incident shows that Jiangbei's defense is empty. However, the two general salt merchants, Ru Ma and Cheng, actually smuggled with the Donglu, secretly accumulated armored soldiers, and hijacked the prison. Jiangbei's general The camp is in urgent need of rectification.”
Qi Kun nodded and said: "The soldiers in Jiangbei have been in peace for a long time, and in a prosperous place like Yangzhou, they have been affected by the general trend and the military discipline has been loose for a long time."
Jia Heng turned to look at several salt merchants and said: "Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely visit the Jiangbei camp while I am in Yangzhou, and I will live up to the righteous act of donating military pay."
When Jiang Tong, Huang Rishan, and Xiao Hongsheng heard this, they could only laugh and say yes, thinking to themselves, you have already arrested the two families who donated their military wages to you.
Qi Kun asked in surprise: "I don't know what's going on with donating military salary?"
Jia Heng did not hide it, or he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to raise the matter, saying: "Master Wang heard that his army was in charge of Jiangbei, and the Jiangbei camp was short of soldiers and pay, so he and several salt industry general merchants Kang generously donated three thousand dollars to the army. One hundred thousand taels will be used as military supplies."
Hearing this, Qi Kun felt strange in his heart. He collected the money so quickly and wiped out two salt merchants with his backhand.
While the Yanyuan Yamen was talking, they saw a Jinyi primary school student coming in from the outside, entering the official hall, clasping his fists and reporting, "Captain, Cheng Peili and others have caught him."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a huge stone was smashed into the official hall, causing thousands of waves.
Jiang Tong's eyes narrowed and he thought to himself, Lao Cheng, have you caught him now?
Jia Heng asked: "Where are Bao Zuhui and Huang Cheng?"
"The general has been rescued and is now at the Jinyi Mansion Hundred Household Office." Jinyi Colonel replied.
Jia Heng looked at the people with different expressions
, said: "You guys continue to discuss the salt affairs, I have something to do, so I won't accompany you."
He is here to put on a show to exert psychological pressure on these salt merchants. I believe that it will not be long before someone comes to invest and take the opportunity to find out the inside story of the transportation warehouse being short of a fortune.
Qi Kun and Lin Ruhai stood up and escorted Jia Heng away. They came in a hurry and left in a hurry. However, in the Yanyuan Yamen of Yangzhou, all the salt merchants and Liu Shengzao himself were awe-inspiring.
On his side, Jia Heng, accompanied by a group of retinues on Jinyi Tiqi, left the Yangzhou Yanyuan Yamen, got on his horse, and headed towards Yangzhou Baihu Station.
….
Yangzhou Hundred Household Office
Jia Heng returned to the official hall. Liu Jixian and Qu Guang were already waiting in the official hall. When they saw Jia Heng coming, they stood up to greet him.
"Captain, Cheng Peili and his son were captured at the canal and river mouth. Bao Zuhui and Huang Cheng were also rescued and are now being questioned in the experience room." Liu Jixian said.
Cheng Peili had no idea that the people captured this time were the officers and soldiers of Henan Dusi. Under the leadership of Jinyi Tiqi, they pursued them along the waterway in a boat.
Jia Heng said: "Take them into custody and torture them severely. Ask the generals who facilitated them. Dig deeper and arrest those who should be arrested immediately."
Liu Jixian responded.
Shang Ming, who is responsible for the punishment of hundreds of households, came forward, raised his hands and said: "Captain, last night Hu Gui from the Jiangbei Camp confessed that he had received 100,000 taels of silver from the Cheng family. Huang Xian and others received 150,000 taels. A guerrilla general received 50,000 taels in exchange for the convenience of the soldiers from the Jiangbei camp."
Because this is not only money to buy a road trip, but also money to buy a life. The Cheng family and the Ma family can say that they have spent a lot of money.
Jia Heng said: "Collect the relevant confessions and escort a few people to the Jiangbei camp later. I want to enforce the military law!"
With that said, he looked at Qu Guang, who was waiting quietly, and said in a deep voice: "General Qu, send someone to recover the captured soldiers, and follow me to the Jiangbei camp later."
Now that all the Cheng family members have been arrested, the soldiers and horses can be transferred back. They can go to the Jiangbei camp to reorganize the soldiers and horses, and deal with the results of the previous platoons. This time they are all gathered together for disposal.
Qu Guang handed over his hand.
Jiangbei Camp, near noon, Jiangbei Camp has taken over internal and external defense for a large number of Henan Dusi's cavalry troops, and has stationed themselves in some empty barracks.
This is a camp that can accommodate 30,000 people, but because the number of troops is less than nearly 10,000, there is just enough space for Henan troops to station, and there is no need to even set up camp.
At this moment, under Jia Heng's military order, in addition to Shui Yu, a large number of generals including the commanders of the Four Guards, the commanders, the generals, and the guerrilla generals gathered in the Chinese army barracks.
However, these generals who used to spend a lot of money on Yangzhou brothels and boats, and cheered and cheered, are now as wilted as eggplants beaten by frost.
As time passed, the "lost contact" of Jiedu judge Huang Xian, marching Sima Zhou Bi and others, as well as the large number of Henan Dusi cavalry troops stationed in the Jiangbei camp, made these fat-bellied generals aware that a storm was coming. the taste of.
In the Chinese army barracks consisting of five tile-roofed houses and two balconies, Zuowei commander Wu Ming looked at his colleagues and asked: "Brothers, there are soldiers and horses from the Henan Dusi outside. Who is this Uncle Yongning?" What to do?"
"Old Wu, why do you need to ask? You are sending troops and generals from Henan to make it clear that you don't trust us." Shi Wenzhong, the commander of the right guard, sneered, his eyes showing solemnity.
The expressions of the other dozen or so generals also looked solemn, and their hearts were mostly clouded. They couldn't help but think of the day before yesterday when they checked the vacancies in the army and checked the military registers.
I originally thought that Uncle Yongning went to Jinling to ask for soldiers' pay and ordnance, and was preparing to recruit new soldiers. Old debts were not included. Looking at the posture, it seemed that there were still repetitions?
At this moment, the sergeant outside called out: "The commander is here!"
The generals who were discussing in secret felt their hearts trembling, and they all looked outside the barracks.
….
I saw a group of brocade clothes coming from the camp roads planted with sycamore trees and paved with green stones. In addition, there were also officers and soldiers from the capital in armor and stomach. They came in large groups. What made the generals feel a little more at ease was that Shui Yu looked impressive. Also beside Jia Heng.
Jia Heng joined the central army, shouting in front and supporting him from behind.
In the barracks, the Grand Master's chair behind the commander is sitting in the middle. On the right is Chen Xiao, who is wearing a flying fish suit and holding a sword. Inside and outside, the Jinyi captain wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife is on guard.
"The general has met the commander-in-chief." A sparse voice sounded in the Chinese barracks.
Jia Heng's face was indifferent and his voice was calm, making it difficult to detect emotion or anger: "Generals, please get up."
As the voice of thanks rang out, all the generals stood up one after another and stood silently. The huge barracks was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.
Jia Heng said: "I think all the generals also heard the sound of fighting last night. The Ma family led the pirates into Yangzhou and attacked Baihusuo at night with the intention of hijacking the prison. Jinyi Baihusuo was alone and lacked manpower. However, when the fighting lasted until midnight, there was not a single soldier or general in the Jiangbei camp to reinforce us. Why?"
In the barracks, no one dared to respond. Everyone knew it was bad luck, and no one dared to come and touch him.
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "I asked the Jiedu judge Huang Xian, the marching commander Zhou Bi and other generals about this last night. All I heard were excuses. When I tortured the Ma family's prisoners who died in prison, I found out that they were accepting He stole money from the Ma family and the Cheng family!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a strong wind was set off in the entire Chinese army barracks, making all the generals present feel uneasy, and a storm seemed to be brewing.
Jia Heng picked up the book containing the confessions of Huang Xian and others, flipped through it, and said, "Huang Xian received 150,000 taels. I have not received so much salary in fifteen years. How dare they give this money?" take!"
When the generals below heard this, their hearts became even more awe-inspiring.
Jia Heng said: "They are incompetent in running the army, they are greedy, their military discipline is lax, and their troops are not full. I think of the prosperity of Yangzhou and the peace of the soldiers and horses in Jiangbei for too long, so I can forget about it, but they don't restrain themselves." , refused to stop, went against the odds, actually bribed people with property, colluded with the rebellious people, and facilitated the thieves to hijack the prison and escape to other places, this is unbearable!"
"Peng!
! "
The clenched fist hit the handsome man, and the tokens in the lottery tube jumped one after another, which also shocked the generals in the Chinese army barracks.
At this time, Shui Yu stood up, looked at the frightened Jiangbei generals, and said expressionlessly: "Generals, Huang Xian and others accepted bribes from salt merchants, colluded with bandits, and hijacked Baihu Prison. , This is a crime that cannot be punished, I hope all the generals will do well."
Just when the general below was feeling uneasy, Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Come here, bring Huang Xian, Zhou Bi and others!"
"Yes." Captain Jinyi responded loudly.
And as General Jinyi loudly promised, not long after, Huang Xian, Zhou Bi, Yan Ruiwen, Hu Gui, who had been tied up early, and Zhao Guoqi, who was in charge of the water transport gate, were escorted into the barracks, all covered with blood. There was a piece of cloth stuffed in the mouth.
"Kneel down!" As several generals kicked their legs, five Chinese military and civilian generals sat on the ground one after another. Shui Yu had already closed his eyes and turned a deaf ear.
[It has been running stably for many years. It is comparable to the old version of the book chasing tool and is used by all old bookworms.
Jia Heng's face was expressionless and he shouted: "Hang your head at the camp gate to make all the troops take a warning!"
"Yes, Commander." Captain Jinyi responded and left.
For a moment, the barracks was filled with a chilling atmosphere and a deathly silence. The generals all hung their heads tightly, feeling the smell of blood wafting through their noses. Although it was summer, they already felt chills all over their bodies.
Jia Heng glanced at the dozen generals in the barracks and said coldly: "I have been ordered by the Holy Spirit to supervise the army in Jiangbei and organize the camp affairs. The number of 30,000 soldiers is less than 10,000. The generals have many soldiers and the military discipline is lax. This is because the generals are incompetent in running the army." Fang, caused by dereliction of duty and indulgence.”
He took another book and handed it to Liu Jixian who was standing aside, asking him to read it aloud.
When the general below heard his name, his heart tightened again. Wouldn't he want to kill him again?
Jia Heng said: "The military discipline of the Jiangbei camp is lax and the number of soldiers is uneven. How much military pay has been deducted from you over the years has been reported to the Jinyi Mansion. I can make up for it by making up 70% and wait for punishment. That's it." If you refuse to explain, I will have no mercy until the results of the investigation are revealed!"
Except for a few of the generals in front of us who are still usable, all of them must be re-examined before being retained. As for the soldiers in the Jiangbei camp, they will all be disrupted and reorganized later, the old and the weak will be eliminated, and soldiers will be recruited and trained.
Only in this way can this army reorganization be effective. From observations during this period, the soldiers in Jiangbei are weaker than the soldiers in the Beijing camp. It can be said that they are just a ragtag group of people.
What's ridiculous is that Mopan actually wants to use these soldiers and horses to help the King of Chu accumulate strength and plan a rebellion in the future?
Just serve him well, why bother? The little millstone is ridiculous.
As for the worries of unrest caused by such drastic changes, Henan Dusi's 5,000 elite cavalry troops were enough to suppress and control them. In addition, Henan Dusi's troops quickly moved to Yangzhou. He wanted to control Jiangnan from the north of the Yangtze River.
As soon as Jia Heng said this, the expressions of the generals present changed drastically, and they were all in an uproar. As expected, they had not spoken out before, and were waiting for them here!
Some generals were frightened and angry, but they did not dare to act rashly. Not to mention the presence of the royal guards and Henan Dusi cavalry inside and outside, even the intimidation of the four heads just now made people fearful.
….
There is a family and a family in Yangzhou, but if things go wrong, the family will be destroyed.
Jia Heng looked at the frightened generals below, noted down some figures with unsatisfied expressions, and said, "Commander Shui Jie, please say a few words."
He was not afraid of mutiny by these wine and rice sacks at all. With the cavalry on guard, even if these people left the Chinese barracks, they could not move a single soldier.
At this time, Shui Yu stood up, looked at the generals whose expressions suddenly changed, and said, "Generals, please listen to what I have to say."
Shui Yu sighed and said sadly: "Jiangbei Camp has been in such bad shape these years that I can't even see it. Now Yong Ningbo has come down from the capital to reorganize his military equipment. This is the general trend of the imperial army's military reorganization. , no one can disobey him, Yong Ningbo is a general who led an army of 100,000 to wipe out the rebels in the Central Plains, so it is most appropriate for him to reorganize the camp."
Seeing the gentle expressions of the generals, Shui Yu thought for a while, and then said: "When Yong Ningbo organized the capital camp, he also didn't kill anyone without permission. He used part of the invaded soldiers' pay to make up for it. Afterwards, he could do meritorious service or support himself." No matter how old he is, he will never settle old scores, and there are even some people who made no mistakes but kept the school for minor mistakes. Later, they all made meritorious service and were re-appointed. There is no need for the generals to be nervous. Many of them have families and families in Yangzhou. People are not like Huang Xian and others, so there is no need to panic."
These words were actually taught by Jia Heng to Shui Yu before his departure. They were mainly to relieve tension. From him, it was difficult to win people's trust, but from Shui Yu, they naturally had a soothing effect.
As Shui Yu mentioned old events in the Beijing camp, the tense nerves of some of the generals present gradually relaxed.
Seeing the generals lowering their heads, Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Liu Jixian, please ask some generals to come down."
At this time, Jinyifu Military Academy came over and took a few people down.
For a time, there were three or four other people in the barracks, all of whom were survivors of the disaster.
Jia Heng said: "General Qu, take these people to take over the Jiangbei camp, eliminate the old and weak, and reorganize and train the soldiers. The people in Huaibei will suffer a lot from the floods this summer. We can recruit young and strong men from Xu Si and other places."
, I have prepared three hundred thousand taels of silver to cover the placement expenses of recruiting and training soldiers. "
In fact, after the stolen silver money from the salt dealer was copied later, the military salary was really not lacking, but... this had to be done after the Salt Transportation Department's deficit was completely exposed, otherwise, it would give a bad impression to outsiders.
That’s it, any collusion with Donglu is your excuse, you just want to kill pigs to celebrate the New Year!
Qu Guang looked at the boy in python suit with awe, clasped his fists and said yes.
After the generals dispersed, Jia Heng looked at Shui Yu, his face cold and cold, and said: "I will report to the court about the army reorganization. General Shui knows the general situation, and I think the Holy Spirit will not be harsh on the past."
Shui Yu cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare. When I go back, I will collect the military pay that has been deducted over the years and use it as military supplies for the whole army."
He has also deducted a lot of salary and silver over the years, and the miscellaneous items are also a big sum. It is better to go back and collect the money. Anyway, those who accept bribes from salt merchants are not so talkative.
Jia Heng looked at the discerning Shui Yu, nodded, and said: "General Shui, it's good to give him 70%. If General Shui has any difficulties, you can come to me at any time. I am a minister of the same palace as Prince Beijing, and we share the same Taoism... If you are committed to military affairs, you will not be in trouble for General Shui."
….
He still demanded 70% of the Jiangbei Camp soldiers to be compensated and no longer pursue them. This was also to eliminate the potential for subsequent troubles in the Jiangnan Camp.
Otherwise, there may be military chaos.
Shui Yu nodded and left the Zhongjun barracks, feeling confused and confused.
In fact, the five bloody heads just now not only silenced the low-ranking generals in the Jiangbei camp, but also shook Shui Yu's mind.
For a moment, only Jia Heng and Chen Xiao were left in the Chinese army barracks that had been crowded just now.
Under Chen Xiao's beautiful eyebrows, her clear eyes twinkled and she said, "Is the Jiangbei Camp ready now?"
This man is truly a natural-born general. Whether he is running politics or running the army, he shows the style of a king, but... he is a bit lustful.
Jia Heng looked at the girl who was wearing a flying fish suit with an indescribably beautiful face. She was wearing a flying fish suit with white lining and fish patterns. Although she did not apply any powder, her natural beauty was reflected in her eyebrows.
"This is just the beginning. We will continue to recruit soldiers, remove generals, and retrain naval forces." Jia Heng said slowly.
Guo Rong killed Fan Aineng and He Hui, more than 70 generals, and reorganized the Forbidden Army. This was only the first step. Zhao Da should never be used, leaving the hidden danger of bullying orphans and widowed mothers.
"Two of the eight salt merchants went there, and those salt merchants couldn't sit still even more." Chen Xiao felt uncomfortable with the looking eyes, turned his eyes, pursed his lips, and whispered.
Jia Heng came out of the military wing, looked at the sky that had turned dark and rainy at some point, and whispered: "The Bao family and the Huang family are also going to be destroyed, but we can take a little time to relax."
"Okay, let's not talk about it for now. We haven't slept all night. Let's find a room to rest." Jia Heng turned to look at Chen Xiao, who followed quietly from the side, and whispered: "Your eyes are bloodshot."
Chen Xiao said softly "Yeah" without saying much.
Just when Jia Heng took a boat at night and headed to Yangzhou, as time slowly passed, Jia Heng's ruthless actions in defeating the Ma family in Yangzhou and in the Jiangbei camp gradually spread to Jinling City and to the south of the Yangtze River. Zhen family...
Lin Yuenanxi
