In the school grounds to the north of Dushikou Castle.
Zhang Cheng stood on the stage and looked at the Kaiping Guard soldiers below, who were called soldiers, and said to Jin Xinpeng beside him: "Master Jin, arrange for someone to order Mao, I will not go down."
Jin Xinpeng turned around and walked away. After a while, he returned to Zhang Cheng. He saw two clerks holding the roster in their hands, escorted by several sergeants, walking towards the school field and starting to count.
Zhang Cheng no longer had the intention to watch Dian Mao. He said to Jin Xinpeng in a deep voice: "Master Jin, the Kaiping Guards are about to be reorganized. Tomorrow the Japanese general will go to Beijing to express his gratitude to the Emperor.
During the few days that I am away, I would like to trouble Mr. Jin to conduct a new inspection of the garrison and garrison troops in the forts and garrisons on my way up to the north. We must eliminate the old and the weak, leaving only the young and strong, and re-register them.
From now on, the actual food and salary will be paid according to the newly published guard roster, one person will receive it, and no substitutes or false payments will be allowed. "
Zhang Cheng said this, and suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Where is Zhang Guangda?"
Zhang Guangda was originally standing next to Wu Zhizhong, but when he heard the sound, he strode over. As his figure swayed, and the armor pages clanged, he came to Zhang Cheng, bowed and clasped his fists and said: "The general is here, what's the matter with the general?" Order?"
There was a scar on his face, and now he was wearing a dark eye patch, and his whole body was filled with murderous aura, which made all the Kaiping Guard officials around Zhang Cheng feel chills coming.
Zhang Cheng said in a deep voice: "Zhang Guangda, I order you to follow Commander Jin in person in the next few days to the forts on my Shangbei Road to inspect the soldiers one by one and register them truthfully.
The roster of officers and soldiers must be jointly signed by Commander Jin, you Zhang Guangda, the palm prints of each fortress, the official letter, and the governor's signature. Do you understand? "
"The last general takes command!"
Zhang Cheng turned his head, smiled and said to Jin Xinpeng: "Well, if you can, Commander Jin, I will check and register carefully starting from tomorrow at Dushikou Castle."
"Your Majesty, take your orders."
Zhang Cheng then loudly called out to the town governors Liu Zhi and He Biao, then turned to the commanding officer Yan Qingrong and said: "Sir Yan, raising soldiers cannot be separated from money and food, and money and food are inseparable from people and land." land,
I would like to ask Mr. Yan to conduct a new inventory of the military households and fields in various forts and forts starting from tomorrow. I also ask Mr. Yan to put state affairs first, conduct detailed inspections, and make records truthfully.
Zhenfu He Biao will accompany you on this errand, and a clerk will be sent from the Experience Department of the Wei Department to accompany you. The newly created military household and farm rosters will be printed by Lord Yan, Zhenfu He Biao, experience, and each fort. Only the joint signatures of Qian Shu, Zhen Fu and Zhen Fu can be used. "
Yan Qingrong nodded and said: "I accept the order, general. Please rest assured."
Zhang Cheng looked at Yan Qingrong and said in a deep voice: "Anyone who hid military households or occupied farmland before will be ignored. But after I take office, if there are still people who dare to do this, then I will eliminate harm for the country and destroy them." No matter who he is, this hot pot rebel is responsible for the rebellion."
He glanced firmly at the officers and generals on the high platform. No one dared to look at him. After a long time, Zhang Cheng said again: "Liu Zhenfu, it has been some time since I took office on the North Road, but I don't know. What is the family background of Shangbei Road?
This is not possible. Now we need to take inventory of the warehouses and treasuries on Shangbei Road one by one. I will send the commanding officer Wu Zhizhong to take charge of this matter and send you to assist. In addition, the Experience Department will send scribes to assist.
After all, Wu Qian has just arrived and is not familiar with the situation of all parties. You need to worry more about this matter. "
At this time, Wu Zhizhong stepped forward and accepted the order loudly. The governor Liu Zhi also accepted the order and stepped forward and said: "I will do my best to assist Wu Qian in his affairs. I will carefully take stock of all the warehouses and treasury. Please rest assured, general."
"Well, the inventory accounts of various warehouses and treasuries must be signed by Wu Qianshi, Liu Zhenfu, the secretary of the experience department, and the ambassador of each warehouse. Wu Zhizhong, you must handle this matter seriously. Check it out. We can only take the next step if we have a strong family background. We really can’t afford to be careless!”
Until then, Zhang Cheng seemed to have just remembered Xue Liangqing. He walked over, looked at Xue Liangqing, who looked haggard and sallow, and said softly with great concern:
"Xue Qianshi has worked so hard for state affairs, which really puts everyone like us to shame. I couldn't bear to see Mr. Xue. I also asked Mr. Xue to take care of your body for the sake of the country. When I turn around, I will order the medical officer to come again." I will examine you carefully, and be sure not to miss the patient.
As for the affairs of the Wei Department, let Mr. Jin and Mr. Yan take more care of them. Mr. Xue, you can rest in peace in your mansion. You must not delay your illness and cause our country to lose talents for such mundane things. "
Xue Liangqing was extremely angry. He was already upset because of the official document from the Ministry of War regarding the promotion of reward, which made him physically and mentally ill. He originally thought that Zhang Cheng, Jin Xinpeng and others would come over to visit him.
How could I have imagined that everyone seemed to have selectively forgotten about him. He was getting more and more depressed at home, but no one cared about him. Only his close confidants and his servant Xue Jing were worried.
Xue Liangqing knew that they were afraid that he would lose power and would no longer be able to take care of and support them. They had gathered around him these days just to get information.
Although Xue Jing is his own family, he may not abandon him, but it is hard to say about the other servants. They are either mothers or mothers. If he really loses power, he will not be able to keep the military household and farmland in his name. , but what are they going to do to support them?
Today, he dragged his sick body to participate in the school field examination. In addition to wanting to show his face to make his presence known, he actually wanted to take this opportunity to see the direction of the wind and get a feel for Zhang Cheng's routine.
Let's take a look at Zhang Cheng's future plans. If there is a loophole, he can also find a way to counterattack. Who knows, Zhang Cheng's actions are so fast. He has soldiers, horses, military households, fields, and various warehouses. Want to do an inventory at the same time.
What shocked him even more was that neither Jin Xinpeng nor Yan Qingrong had any opinions.
Conspiracy, this must be a conspiracy!
Humph, these two old men, Jin Xinpeng and Yan Qingrong, actually conspired with a little kid like Zhang Cheng to harm me. What benefits did they get?
Xue Liangqing couldn't express what he was thinking. He coughed a few times and then whispered softly: "Thank you, General Zhang, for your concern. These are old illnesses, but it doesn't matter. I need to rest for a while." It will be fine naturally,
It's just that when the general first came to me to open the Pingwei, I couldn't take care of the affairs of the guards and couldn't serve the general. I really feel sorry for being so concerned about the general. "
"Where? Mr. Xue is a talented person in the country. I am the pillar of Kaiping Wei. Please rest in peace. The affairs of the Wei Department are complicated and cannot be separated from Mr. Xue. I am also eagerly looking forward to Mr. Xue being able to serve as director!"
Zhang Cheng looked solemn and spoke very sincerely.
But everyone present knew that Xue Liangqing had lost power in Kaipingwei. Even if he recovered from his illness and wanted to be a director, he would have nothing to do.
Do you really think that Zhang Chengsheng’s one conductor colleague and four conductors are just decorations?
