"Don't misunderstand Gao Gongzi, Liu Wei has no malicious intent, I just hope that I can exchange some war horses from Gao Gongzi in the future."

As soon as Liu Wei said this, Gao Shishi was obviously relieved, and pretended to be dissatisfied: "Brother Zishou said it so strangely? Although I don't know the inside story of Baili Gorge yet, as long as what Brother Zishou said is true, I will try my best to meet the needs of the father and son's war horses. ”

Liu Wei was overjoyed, rubbed his hands and said, "That's great!" Don't hide it from Gao Gongzi, there are two main sources of elite under my father's command, one is the elite one out of ten in the Sichuan Guard, and the other is the Japanese army, but both of them are not familiar with cavalry, so my father often says, saying that if you can build a strong cavalry, you will have no regrets in this life. ”

Gao Pragmatic remembered Xiao Loli's words before, and asked tentatively: "Can the Japanese soldiers understand Chinese?" ”

"Why not?" Liu Wei explained: "You may not know about Gao Gongzi, although they are called Japanese Kou, in fact, most of them are brave people who are desperate in the coastal provinces of the Ming Dynasty. These people were either convicted by the imperial court earlier, or forced to make a living, in short, they joined the pirates, hid on the islands, and raided the coast. After being defeated by our officers and army, because of his bravery, he joined the command of the generals, exempted himself from the previous crimes, and made meritorious contributions to the imperial court, the best of both worlds. ”

Gao pragmatic said: I'm afraid that the best of both worlds may not be, at least the military discipline of the troops under Qi Jiguang's command is much better than the military discipline of the troops under your command later.

After all, Gao Pragmatic is a civilized person born under the red flag, accustomed to the fine style of the people's soldiers, and is very dissatisfied with the situation of "bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates" in this era. ”

Liu Wei saw that his face suddenly sank, and he was surprised: "What's the matter?" ”

"I heard that General Liu has been impeached many times for indulging in the laundering of people's property under his command......" Gao pragmatically stared at Liu Wei and asked with a serious face: "Is there such a thing?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Liu Wei didn't shirk it, but his face was quite helpless: "But Gao Gongzi, whether you believe it or not, I have to say: That's no way." ”

Gao Pragmatic's face showed obvious dissatisfaction: "Why, General Liu has been leading the army for many years, but he can't control his subordinates?" ”

Liu Wei not only didn't get angry, but sighed, shook his head and said, "Gao Gongzi, you don't know anything, and sometimes you really don't dare to manage it too much." ”

Gao Pragmatic's face deteriorated, and he said in a deep voice: "He is also a famous general in the world, Brother Zishou said that Ling Zun sometimes doesn't dare to manage too much, so why does Qi Nantang dare to manage it?" I have never heard of his Qi family's army also looting people's property. ”

A trace of anger suddenly appeared on Liu Wei's face, and said: "Gao Gongzi, he Qi Yuanjing has Tan Lun on his head to protect him from the wind and rain, and the salary and ordnance are indispensable, and later there is Zhang Taiyue, who is in charge of all the affairs of the military department as a cabinet elder, for him, and even the soldiers have been paid by the imperial court, so don't worry about the future!" But what about my father? There is no one in the court, not only does no one speak for his father, but even his real military exploits have to be claimed or erased, and it is said that it is burned and buried silver, and the silver is pensioned, which is ordinary military salary, and it is often deducted more than half, how do you say that my father should be compared with Qi Yuanjing? ”

Gao Pragmatic was stunned when he heard it, and before he could speak, Liu Wei continued: "If you don't believe it, you might as well take a look at Yu Zhifu (Yu Dayou), his situation is slightly better than his father, although there is no one in the court, but he is the general soldier of Guangdong, the place is rich, and the money and food he can get under his hands are much more than his father's, but even so, doesn't his army also have the time to plunder the people's wealth?" ”

Gao was pragmatic and dumbfounded, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"In the final analysis, there is no one who leads troops who does not know that military discipline should be taken seriously." Liu Wei sighed, and said a little distractedly: "No matter how serious military discipline is, if the soldiers under your command follow you to fight thousands of miles, pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers every day to serve you, and in the end they can't even get military salaries and don't get enough, how can you be embarrassed to let them not share the spoils of war privately and not loot the people's property?" If you really dare to do this, it will be light to make a fuss, and it will be a big trouble to make a mutiny! These field armies are no better than those guards who have long been unable to fight, once these people really make a mutiny, let alone loot the people's property, I am afraid that they will dare to fight even in Nanjing City! ”

Gao was silent for a while, he could see that Liu Ling's words did not mean to shirk responsibility, from a historical point of view, Liu Xian's father and son have never had any Austrian aid in the court, and the Ming Dynasty due to various reasons, the military salary quota was originally low, and then after layers of goose plucking, in the end there are a lot less in the hands of the main general, and the main general is because he wants to concentrate a part to support the most combat-effective family, so what ordinary soldiers can get is even more unbearable. As for other ordnance and materials, it is conceivable that the same situation is the same.

"Mr. Gao." Xiao Lori suddenly said loudly: "If you can persuade Gao Ge Lao to take care of my father, get paid in full, and pay in full, our Liu Jiajun can naturally clean up military discipline like Qi Jiajun and Ma Jiajun, but I don't know if Gao Gongzi has the confidence to let Gao Ge Lao open this golden mouth." ”

The two brothers and sisters, at the same time, looked highly pragmatic, their eyes were blazing, and the color of expectation was overflowing.

Gao Pragmatic groaned slightly and asked, "Ling Zun and his subordinates, is the military registration still in Sichuan, or has he been transferred to Nanjing?" ”

Liu Wei immediately understood what Gao pragmatic meant, but sighed: "This matter is very complicated, in terms of military status, my father's department is still in Sichuan, and the allocation of military salaries should be allocated by the Beijing Military Department to the Sichuan governor, and the Sichuan governor will make specific arrangements." However, due to the fact that my father's residence is in Yingtian Tongzhou, and Tongzhou has a grain manager, these military salaries need to be transferred by the grain manager to be paid. ”

When he said this, he sighed again: "This is only the main salary, because of the long-term fighting in the coastal provinces as a guest army, my father's department naturally has another rations, which should be distributed by the Nanjing Military Department as a rule, but because of some people in Nanjing, they often deduct the grain for various reasons, or delay the allocation, otherwise it is said that the drift is not serious, in short, in the end, we can get it, most of the time it is less than thirty percent." I'm surprised, from Nanjing to Tongzhou, it only takes a day or two to take the Yangtze River waterway, and this fucking can be drifted seventy percent? I think the conscience of these people in Nanjing is that they are all fed to the dogs! ”

Gao Pragmatic frowned and said nothing, but his face was already very ugly.

Liu Wei gritted his teeth, suddenly took a step back, bowed deeply to Gao Shishi, and said: "Gao Gongzi, if you can explain this original situation to the Gao Ge Lao, and strongly persuade the Gao Ge Lao to put pressure on all parties to ensure the military salary and pension of his father's troops, then my father will definitely be able to rectify the military discipline, and in the future, if the Gao Ge Lao has an order, no matter whether he attacks and defends, my father and son will do their best, and I dare not shirk the slightest!" ”

Gao Shishi said expressionlessly: "Brother Zishou's words, can they represent Ling Zun's meaning?" ”

Liu Wei looked happy, glanced at Xiao Lori first, saw her nodded, and said busily: "Naturally, we ...... last night I made it easy for my father to make it a decision. ”

"Okay." Gao pragmatic nodded: "After I return to Beijing, I will persuade my third uncle in person, and it should be fine." ”

Liu Wei was overjoyed, and gave a deep salute: "Liu Wei thanked Gao Gongzi for his righteousness on behalf of his father, as long as it does not violate the holy will in the future, my Liu Jiajun will be the head of the old horse in the high pavilion!" ”

Gao Pragmatic breathed a sigh of relief: Okay, since Liu Wei and his son voted for me Gao this time, then there is hope for the victory of the Ming-Burma War in the future, the three major expeditions of Wanli? I'm going to turn it into the Four Great Expeditions of Wanli!
