Chapter 165: The Army's Aspirations

Let me think about what kind of corpse will be sold next time

The military is united, and there will be less talk about the training in the future, will I talk about the next case?

------Off topic------

The matter was decided, and Twilight didn't think much about it, and put her mind on training again. In March, the ice on the lake had melted, and at the end of the month, the DPRK and China brought the large and small boats that had been built to the camp of the sailors.

Twilight reacted indifferently when she heard this, she didn't deny that she was trying to win over the military last night, but those words also came from the bottom of her heart. If her father is still alive, she must choose to save her father and give her the money, she remembers the kindness.

Han Qi saw the army's heart like this for the first time, and couldn't help but admire, last night the morale was almost low, and the army's morale was weakened, and the governor gave up his money to win the army's heart, this step is wonderful! In the past, there was the grace of saving the new army in the mountains of Qingzhou, and then there was the act of sending life-saving silver money to the soldiers back to their hometowns, and the military heart of the Jiangbei Navy Division was firmly in the hands of the governor from then on.

As soon as this order came out, the army was quiet, no one came to persuade them, and the whole army seemed to have discussed it, and they all buried their bitterness in their hearts.

The next day, a military order was handed down in the camp of the sailors, and the lieutenant general asked him to return to the dart bureau once in half a year to send money home for the soldiers who had seriously ill fathers and mothers, and the dart silver was paid by the governor's office.

The spring night and the moon are cold, the young man's back is clear, and the five thousand soldiers look at her back, and suddenly feel warm.

The young man's voice was a little faint and a little deep, and after saying this, he didn't say anything more, got up and left.

"If not, is there any other way?" Twilight Qing frowned, her face sinking like water, "If you don't have it, don't persuade it, the persuader is hypocritical!" Do you need to ask which one to choose, my money or your father's life? If it were me, I would heal my father. It's a pity that I didn't have this multiple-choice question for me, and I didn't have a father and mother when I was in the army. ”

Since the whole army has been training, there have been more people on the battlefield, and Twilight Qing divided the whole army into five school fields, taking turns to run all day and night, and in order to prevent overcrowding, the drill items were taken in turns. There were two battalions on the school field tonight, and more than 5,000 soldiers were all anxious when they heard Twilight's decision.

"That's it! The governor has not yet taken a wife. ”

"That's it! How shall we spend the Governor's money and the reward? ”

"Governor, how can this be done?"

Wei Zhuozhi received the order, and seeing that the matter was decided, the young man who said that the old lady in the family was sick was in a hurry.

"Quick!" Twilight commanded.

"Good!" Wei Zhuozhi slapped his fan and said with a smile, "Since the governor loves soldiers like sons, then the general will do it according to his orders." ”

"It's not enough, and there is a reward from the imperial court."

"Yes, yes, but I'm afraid the little money from the governor is not enough." Wei Zhuozhi smiled, with a deep meaning hidden in his eyes.

The Governor's Mansion is out of silver, isn't that the Governor paying for the silver?

Wei Zhuozhi was stunned, and the soldiers of the water division were also stunned.

"What if it's the dart of the Jiangbei Sailor?" Twilight asked again, seeing Wei Zhuozhi raising her eyebrows, she continued, "I don't want to send a letter to my family, I can't wait for someone at home to be treated, I am willing to hire a dart to send silver money to my home for the soldiers in the army, and the dart silver is from the governor's mansion, do you have an acquaintance dart game on the rivers and lakes?" Be reliable. ”

Wei Zhuozhi said with a smile: "The dart game is betting on darts, from silver money and property to secret treasures in the rivers and lakes, and you can make a lot of money by taking a dart." Is there any dart game that will go far and wide, just to send a letter to the family and earn those few coppers? ”

"What about the dart game?" Twilight asked, "You're from the rivers and lakes." ”

"The idea is new, but unfortunately the DPRK and China may not be able to allow it. If the people run a postal office, although they can take the official road and raise their own cars, horses and manpower, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will take advantage of the convenience of the postal village to transmit private messages that are unfavorable to the imperial court, so it may be difficult to succeed. Wei Zhuozhi smiled, his eyes lit up, although it was not feasible, this idea was bold.

However, the Wei family did not report much hope for the success of this matter, not because of the Wei family's financial resources, but because the court allowed it.

The people send letters, the rich have slaves, can send slaves on the road, the poor can only rely on relatives and friends to carry along the way, inconvenient and no timeliness, so the preciousness of the family letter can be worth 10,000 gold.

"There are letter postmen in the court, but they are mostly used for the transmission of wartime military newspapers and the recitals of various states and counties, regardless of the family letters of the people. Can your Wei family open a post office, like the Qianzhuang ticket number, set up a post office in various states and counties, hire some postmen, and send letters and goods to and from various places? ”

"Huh?" Wei Zhuoyi's eyes lit up when he heard the silver, "Let's talk about it." ”

"Southern Wei and Northern Xie, your Wei family is in business and has a way to make money, do you want to consider it?" Twilight asked.

Twilight Qing was silent for a while after hearing this, and then turned her head to look at Wei Zhuozhi, Wei Gongzi is a person who likes to join in the fun, and because the whole army is training now, she often needs him to pass orders, so she wants him to report in front of the account every day, and stay in the school field with her all day long.

Most of these teenagers came to join the army because their families were poor, and they had food and clothing in the army, so they didn't have to drag down their families, and they could receive some silver taels when they returned alive, and they also had pension silver when they died. But the embezzlement of the Northwest Army's pension silver taels let everyone know that if they die in battle one day, the silver taels may not be able to be sent to their families, and in the end, their father and mother will die, and they may still be swept up and buried by a straw mat, and they don't even have the money to buy a thin coffin.

These twenty taels of silver are enough for the family for a few years, buy rice and medicine, buy cloth and sew clothes, but they can't send it back. This time out of the army, I don't know if I can go back, even if I can save my life in the future, I don't know what year and month I can go home, and my father and mother will still be there when I go home?

The young man didn't dare to be presumptuous, he only felt that his buttocks were pricked by needles, and when he remembered it, he could only sit obediently, and lowered his head and whispered: "Back to Dudu, my mother's legs and feet are inconvenient, and she has been paralyzed for many years. ”

When the boy saw that Twilight was coming down, he hurriedly got up, but Twilight pressed his shoulder and asked him to sit down, and he sat down cross-legged across from him, "Rest time, don't be formal." ”

Twilight was sitting on the podium, and when she heard this, she jumped down, walked up to the young man, and asked, "What is your mother's disease?" ”

Wuya Aji frowned, this time it was really out of line.

Everyone had just forgotten about the inconvenience of sending letters, but they didn't expect to turn back in three or two sentences.

"I want to send it home to my mother for medical treatment, but unfortunately ......" At this time, another teenager opened his mouth, looking a little sad.

Zhang Tong patted Liu Heizi on the shoulder, didn't say much, as the saying goes, don't bully young people to be poor, who said that a lame leg can't be a general?

Zhang Tong and Shi Dahai are both in the same army as Liu Heizi, and they know about his family, he was kicked out of the house by his brother and sister-in-law, and he still remembers the two little nephews.

While speaking, he secretly kicked Liu Heizi, Liu Heizi was also clever, but when it came to marrying a daughter-in-law, the young man smiled shyly, "My legs...... It's not good to marry a daughter-in-law, my father and mother are gone, there are only brothers and sisters-in-law at home, and I rarely have those two little nephews, and when I return to my hometown in the future, I will tear a good cloth for them and buy a pair of good shoes, and ask them to go to the school to study. ”

The atmosphere suddenly sank, the whole army training had just started three days, and seeing that the morale was going to be low because of this matter, Wuya Aji took out the silver from his arms and checked it, and said with a smile: "The young master wants to save for himself, and keep his daughter-in-law in the future!" ”

If there is a war one day, the 50,000 soldiers in the camp of the sailor division will not know how many of them will be able to return home, and I don't know how many of the silver they have saved can be sent home.

"Then save it, we are sailors, we will go down to the river to fight sooner or later, and when we get to the river, won't we be close to Jiangnan?"

There are messengers in the army, and they can go to Jiangnan once every six months to carry a letter, but the road is far away, and there are many variables on the road, even if they can be brought to Jiangnan, there is no way to send the letter to their homes one by one, so they can only be handed over to the local state and county, and sent by the government and county government. Most of the people in the yamen were too lazy to do these things, and those letters were put in the treasury, and if they were bitten by rats, no one might send them, and if they were accompanied by the letters, most of them were greedy, so when they came to the army, some sent letters to their homes, but they did not send silver taels to their homes. The sons and daughters joined the army and did not return home for ten years, and there were many people in the family who did not know whether they were alive or dead for ten years.

Shi Dahai said: "There is food and clothing in the army, and it is useless for me to hold the silver, I just want to take it home, and the road is too far." ”

The joy of getting the silver, and the envy of the eyes of the people who didn't get the silver, it didn't take long for the young people to discuss.

scolded and scolded, but twenty taels of silver is a huge fortune for the sailor boys from poor families, and no one is not envious. If you can work harder, not only can you go with the governor to see the imperial city, but you can also get some silver taels to send home, who wouldn't be happy?

"Hey! Out of breath! The man cursed and kicked over.

"I got twenty taels of silver today, and the master is thinking about it!"

"Why?"

"If you don't go back, you won't be able to sleep when you go back." Someone waved his hand.

The suspicion was cleared, and twenty taels of silver were obtained, and the teenagers in the special training camp were overjoyed, and after the disbandment of martial arts training at night, everyone was tired and paralyzed on the battlefield, and some people shouted: "Let's go, go back to the camp and sleep!" ”

The list article specifically mentions the Jiangbei Naval Division, saying that Duqing was rewarded with a thousand taels of silver for his meritorious work in solving the case, and hundreds of people in the special training camp were surrounded by Shengjing Mansion in the inn as suspects after the crime, and their reputation was affected.

On the third day of the book, the reply of the court and the closing list of the Chunniang case were sent to the naval barracks, and the closing list did not mention the sin of the old county lord of the Sima family, but put the blame on Shangqing Nunnery, saying that Shangqing Nunnery did not investigate the acceptance of people, which led to the evil way into the nunnery, bewitched Sima Lady Lin, caused her to go crazy, killed and humiliated the corpse. Xingchun Garden's opera Chunniang is greedy for glory, and the Lin family is the son, which is understandable, so he is specially confined in the Buddhist hall in the house, and he cannot come out of life or death. The abbot of Shangqing Nunnery accepted people without investigation, arrested and imprisoned, and sealed the nunnery, and sent the Taoist aunt in the nunnery to other places.

Yuan Xiu left Beijing, Ji Yan took office, and Du Qing returned to the naval division camp and began the days of training the whole army. In the two days that she returned to Shengjing with 100 people from the special training camp, the four major military training schools in the army had prepared logs and sandbags under the command of Han Qichu, built quagmires and canals, and written the memoirs for the four major military training schools to apply to the DPRK and China for a large number of training equipment, just waiting for Duqing to come back and review them.

Whether it's affection or promise, Twilight sees it in her eyes, but she doesn't say it.

On the day Yuan Xiu left Beijing, after passing through the Jiangbei Navy Division's camp, the veterans of the Northwest Army did not come out to see him off. Maybe they wanted to go back to the northwest when they saw Yuan Xiu, so they avoided it, or maybe they promised that Dusk Qing would no longer be the general of the Northwest Army from now on, and they would respect her as the governor, and they didn't come without her military orders.
