In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and the fleet transporting supplies finally arrived at the South China Sea Fleet.
"This is the supply list for this time." Under the watchful eyes of ten inspection officials, the general escorting the supplies handed the supply list to the general who was handing over the South China Sea Fleet.
"The list is correct."
"Please, please wait until I finish checking the supplies and I'll sign."
The general who handed over said.
"Why, you can't trust the imperial court, or you can't trust us supervising officials." Zhang Jie, who was very angry after traveling all the way, suddenly got angry and yelled angrily.
As a serious scholar, he despised these warriors from the bottom of his heart.
Even though His Majesty has repeatedly publicized in newspapers how hard those soldiers suffered at the border and how much the warriors sacrificed for the stability of the country and the normal life of the people.
But this did not affect his contempt for these warriors at all.
"The matter of armaments is related to the survival of the country, and we dare not be careless." said the general who signed for it.
"You, a little 8th-grade general, dare to tell me this. Believe it or not, I will go back and read your book." Zhang Jie angrily scolded.
The law of the Ming Dynasty stipulates that no one is allowed to leave any materials that the imperial court needs to hand over before the handover is completed. Anyone who violates the order can be punished by being executed for ten years at the least, or beheaded directly at the worst.
It would have been okay before, but now that I have been working hard for so long, eating unpalatable marching food for so many days, and now I still don't let myself have a good rest, how can a person tolerate this?
No, this is not something humans can endure.
"If you want to participate, then you can."
"Come up and check the supplies according to the list." The general who handed over said.
"You Qiu Ba, when I go back, I must make you look good." Zhang Jie cursed in his heart.
Qiu Ba just scolded soldiers. If it had been in the past, Zhang Jie would have scolded him, but not now.
The imperial court stipulated that it was against the law to scold the soldier Qiu Ba. Given his current position, if he dared to scold him, he would be imprisoned for three months. It would be a small matter, but losing his official status would be a big deal.
"Sir, we have finished checking. The inspection list contains 500 kilograms of high-quality polished rice. We checked and found that except for the outer ones, the middle ones are all aged rice for many years. 100,000 kilograms of high-quality granular gunpowder. Except for the ones on the box, It’s all broken black powder down there.”
After two sticks of incense, the inspecting soldiers hurried over.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Suddenly ten officials responsible for supervision shouted directly.
Since His Majesty reorganized the army, it has become normal for civilian officials to supervise the transportation of supplies by military officers.
Because of the indifference of civil and military officials and the strict supervision mechanism of the court, there were almost no problems with the transported items.
But right now, this is not a small problem, especially since he also received the other party's 300 silver coins in silver notes, this is a big deal.
Once this matter is leaked out, even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to clean it up.
"Go away, you guys. I worked so hard to deliver it to you. Isn't it normal to collect something? Otherwise, where would the money come from for me to eat meat, drink wine, marry wives and concubines, and give money to court officials?
Interesting words. Just sign for it obediently. The benefits will inevitably come to you. If you don’t know what to do and try to see how strong your head is, then you can try it and see if your memorial can be presented to His Majesty. in front of. "
The general escorting the supplies said.
