Chapter 1031: The Problem of Food and Salary
Juyongguan, Midtown, Senate Hall.
Juyong Pass is the first pass of the Shengtian Dynasty, and the guard general is also a high match, which is a marshal military position, named Peng Rong.
Peng Rong is one hundred and fifty years old this year, but he has already cultivated in his infancy, and now he is in the prime of life, and it is not surprising that this marshal can still serve the imperial court for one hundred and eighty years.
The Peng family was originally a gate, when the ancestors of the Peng family followed the founding emperor, all the way to the south and the north to fight, and made great achievements, the surrounding small countries saw the banner of the Peng family, immediately frightened.
However, the Lao Tzu of the Peng family is also prescient, although he follows the founding emperor, he still has some positions in the Shengtian Sect, and he has been beaten by the wind and rain over the years, and he is still strong, whether it is in the sect or the court, the people of the Peng family have a certain right to speak.
Peng Rongnai is a tiger of the gate, he likes to dance knives and guns since he was a child, and he has both talent for cultivation, he was put into the Shengtian Sect early to cultivate, and later he was dropped to the border to fight, along the way, there are white bones behind him, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, but he is also a ruthless person.
However, Peng Rong is not a guy who has been washed out by loyalty and patriotism, although he is loyal to the country, Peng Rong also has his own little Jiujiu.
A few years ago, when the prince was elected, the Peng family supported another prince, and the current Emperor Guanghua didn't know what foreign aid he received, but he won at the end and became the current Emperor Guanghua.
Emperor Guanghua is still young, and for these old ministers, he naturally can't kill them all, but with Emperor Guanghua's beautiful operations, it vaguely makes this marshal who has spent most of his life a little frightened, lest Emperor Guanghua grow up and liquidate, and then he doesn't know how long the peak period will be, and whether he can still shadow his descendants.
After all, this kind of thing is not easy to say, ask yourself, even if he is a generous person like Peng Rong, when he encounters this kind of thing, he may not be calm when he grows up, if he finds a few excuses, it is not to unload the mill and kill the donkey? Even if the Peng family is powerful, it is difficult to maintain.
Therefore, Peng Rong is naturally discounting his calculations these days, preparing to expand his strength, and when the time comes, he will make great contributions, and this little emperor will probably let himself go if he has been fighting for the country for half his life.
Of course, this is only on the surface, in fact, as a veteran of the battlefield, Peng Rong will never hand over his net worth and life to an immature little emperor, which is not only irresponsible to himself, but also irresponsible to his family and the soldiers under his command
Peng Rong squinted his eyes, sat on the handsome chair with a big golden knife, and there were all his subordinates in the army, one by one, sitting on only half of his buttocks, sitting in a precarious position, with a little seriousness on his face, it could be seen that Peng Rong was very deterrent in the hearts of his subordinates.
"Lao Cen, what did the court say, when will this month's money and food arrive?" Peng Rong spoke, not angry and arrogant, and his voice was crisp.
Cen Cheng stood up and said: "Boss, the court said that the household is empty now, and can only send some food, as for the spirit stone and military salary, we haven't found it yet, I hope we can endure it for the time being." ”
"Hmph, hmph......" Peng Rong opened his eyes, a pair of tiger eyes were round, with some mockery on his face, "This money can make the ghost grind, no money, no one can command it not to move, since the horses run, they have to eat less grass, this court has a good calculation!"
General Cen frowned, and said in a low voice: "Boss, I think that the imperial court is not out of money, and the money is used to train the new army, so it will ~ will~"
This sentence was really unspeakable, and after holding it for a long time, General Cen said: "I will snub our brothers who are struggling at the border of the Northland." ”
Peng Rong was not angry this time, and sighed faintly, as if he had encountered this situation, "I don't blame you, you tried your best, the court thinks that the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army are all rogues, and they come and go as soon as they are called, hehe, but don't look at it, if there is no us, how can this country be saved, and the time is also fate!"
Peng Rong also knows that eighty percent of the imperial court has no money, and this military salary has always been the top priority, and few people dare to put their hands on the military salary, and it is natural for the soldiers to eat food and fight, and it is natural that these Qiu Eight Masters are fierce one by one, if it is really because there is no military salary mutiny, the local officials will be punished at the least, and the country will be in turmoil, and everyone understands this truth.
The imperial court did not allocate military salaries this month, but only took out some spirit stones, some grain and grass, these things can barely support the daily expenses of his soldiers, but if there is a battle, it may be overstretched, Emperor Guanghua was really carried away, and actually came up with this kind of faint trick.
The soldiers of the Northeast Army are easy to provoke, the Mingguang Army of Yishui is almost Peng Rong's private soldiers, and they are really making a mutiny, who can support this responsibility.
Peng Rong knew that although the little emperor Meng Lang, he didn't dare to act so arbitrarily, eighty percent of them were people who were eager to make meritorious contributions and wanted to train more new troops, so that they could have a bright face, and then had to stop the military salary on the front line.
But how can the brothers be relieved by hanging half-dead like this, the brothers are killed loudly on the front line, who knows that someone in the rear dares to deduct the military salary, maybe Emperor Guanghua still thinks that the front-line soldiers eat and drink well, if they make trouble at this time, Emperor Guanghua will definitely think that he is making a ghost from it.
Peng Rong sneered in his heart, these guys, don't they really know how many brushes they have, do they really think they are muddy?
As soon as he thought of this, Peng Rong stood up leisurely, looked at the old brothers below, and felt uncomfortable, so he put down his words: "Don't worry, I won't let the brothers suffer from hunger and cold, the brothers must eat and drink well, otherwise, I, Peng Rong, will fight the lawsuit to the Jinluan Palace, and I will also seek justice for the brothers!"
"Dashuai, don't act rashly, it is said that many people are staring at us now, if Dashuai is a little mistaken, what should the brothers do, is it difficult to let those guys who don't understand anything point fingers?" said a general with a more anxious temperament.
Peng Rong was unmoved, and indeed said: "It is absolutely impossible for the brothers to be poorly fed and clothed because of some inactive guys, and I will not mess around, so I will go to our Overseer and reason with him, and see if our Northeast Army is raised by our stepmother." ”
General Cen said: "Marshal, this overseer is the son of the Mu family, the Mu family has always been one, we come to the door like this, it is better to buy some gifts to visit, and then have a meal, reminisce about the old days, why should there be a good effect." ”
Who knew that Peng Rong was actually furious, and said, "The brothers are about to stop, and you actually let me take the brothers' money to buy gifts for the Overseers? ”
