"Zongzhen, you are leaving, do you need to send someone to see you off?"

He Renlong smiled, nodded and sent Taiyuan General Soldier Gao Ye away, and then turned to look at a hundred generals beside him, and said:

"Go back, wake them all up, and come here to guard the warehouse."

Mr. Bai answered, turned around and left.

After a while, more than 800 people came from the south, and unlike before, this group of officers and soldiers were all fierce and full of spirit.

These people are He Renlong's subordinates.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, the Ministry of War inspected the military registers in various places, and He Renlong reported it according to the amount of 1,000 and 50 people, and like everyone else, he also ate empty salaries.

Of course, in the current year, it is rare not to eat empty salaries, and almost no one in the local health center does not falsely report the amount.

He Renlong reported more than 100 people, which is really not much compared to other thousands of generals.

Since the imperial court has not been in arrears in recent years, the salaries of more than 100 people have been added, and He Renlong has used it to support his family.

He Renlong is now the president of Qian, and the number of family members under his hands is not much, just more than 20 people.

For the same example, the general manager of Qian, who was reprimanded by Gao Ye to be Fan Shaosheng, had more than 500 subordinates, but he reported the full amount of 1,100 soldiers.

Compared with He Renlong, the empty salary he eats is terrifying.

Fan Shaosheng and He Renlong are all direct subordinates of Taiyuan General Army Gaoye, in addition to the two of them, there are more than a dozen such thousand generals in Taiyuan City.

More than a dozen thousand, each of whom falsely reported the number of soldiers.

Gao Ye, as the chief military officer, was not ignorant of these situations, but he couldn't manage them at all.

This kind of thing has no official and military generals, either they have known about it for a long time, or they have also falsely reported the amount, and basically everyone is a "fellow party".

If you really check it out one by one, the officers and generals of all sizes in Taiyuan will be punished.

What's more, even he, the Taiyuan general soldier, has nothing to do, and in the second year of the Apocalypse, Gao Ye reported to the Ministry of War that there were 24,000 Taiyuan garrison troops.

This number has made the military department very dissatisfied, but it is acceptable.

Even so, Gao Ye still made a lot of false reports, and the actual number of his subordinates was only more than 18,000, and a considerable number of them were temporarily found last year to make up for the number.

Isn't it Gao Ye's fault? Not to mention He Renlong's fault? This is the result of the collapse of the local health care system.

From the general to the thousand, and then from the thousand to the chief officer? They don't have much power to influence the situation.

And if the situation is not changed? The situation will only continue to worsen.

If it goes on like this for about ten years, it will reach the point in the Chongzhen period in history? At first glance, the number of local officers and soldiers appeared to be large, and the roster was full.

But when you really make trouble, you know? Basically all empty? The time has come for false reporting to be several times greater than what is now in sight.

What was the emptiness of the local armament during the Chongzhen period?

The thieves attacked the city and plundered the land in the Central Plains, and a county town that should have been garrisoned by at least 8,000 officers and soldiers actually had less than 3,000 people able to fight.

Of these 3,000 people, only half are young and strong.

A large state city? It stands to reason that there should be tens of thousands of officers and soldiers who are stubbornly defended? But when the thieves attacked the city, there were only thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled.

Such a number of people, in the face of tens of thousands, many to more than 100,000, the tide of thieves? Even if the officers and soldiers are armed with knives and guns, even if the thieves are all pitchforks and sticks? That's impossible to hold on.

Fortunately, there is a possibility that the situation will be reversed.

Zhu Youxiao has his hands free in the court? It is time to start a rectification of the local situation.

Sending Zhu Xieyuan to Shanxi as the governor, in addition to preparing for the famine in the coming days? The main thing is also to find out the number of troops falsely reported in various places? Armament in order? Trade-in.

......

When He Renlong heard the news that the governor of Shanxi was going to inspect the granary early tomorrow morning, he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night, and it was said that he had been patrolling all night, for fear that something would go wrong.

He was excited and didn't fall asleep, but Zhu Xieyuan didn't feel sleepy at all.

In the side room of the Governor's Palace, Zhu Xieyuan and Qi Jingwei, the prefect of Taiyuan, sat across the coffee table.

In addition to the two of them, there were several officials from the local government seated, Qi Jingwei pointed to an official document on the table, frowned and said:

"The matter of the granary has been ordered, and Mr. Gao removed Mr. Qian, who guarded the granary, overnight, there should be no problem."

Zhu Xieyuan nodded and asked:

"Who are the guards in the granary?"

At this time, an official in charge of the handover replied:

"The previous name was Fan Shaosheng, and he was sent by General Gao to guard the horse shed, and now this is called He Renlong, and I heard that he is a good hand in fighting."

"Your Excellency the Governor, isn't it... Severely punish Fan Shaosheng to set an example? ”

Although Zhu Xieyuan is a civilian official, he understands the thoughts of generals and soldiers better than anyone else.

When he was in Liaodong, the commanders of the seven border towns all told him to be obedient, and even the Jiang family did not dare to have the slightest disrespect to him, let alone the small soldiers and generals in these places.

Zhu Xieyuan's eyes moved slightly, and he knew in his heart that he had just arrived, and Liwei was not the best choice, mainly to win back people's hearts.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and said:

"It's not okay now, you go to the stables and send a message to the Qian Zong named Fan Shaosheng, saying that there is a nest of thieves hidden in Mengshan, and tell him to lead the troops to suppress it."

"If the thief is successfully suppressed, the governor will allow him to compensate for his merits."

The civil officials didn't understand Zhu Xieyuan's intention to do this, but thinking that the latter would first supervise the southwest and then Liaodong, there must be a reason for doing so, so they didn't say much and nodded one after another.

"You all have to remember that the people came to serve as soldiers just to make a living, and the mistakes of the government should not be imposed on the generals."

"The slackening of local armaments is not a day or two, this is a problem left over from all dynasties, and only by cleaning up people's hearts can we win by surprise."

When Zhu Xieyuan said this, he got up and said:

"At present, the imperial court has always paid food and salary on time every month, and if it is handled properly, the process of rectifying the guard will be very smooth."

"If the persecution is too urgent and causes a mutiny, the gains will outweigh the losses."

The officials looked at each other and nodded.

Zhu Xieyuan found that the sky was already bright, and sighed in his heart, he hadn't slept all night, he shook his head, smiled slightly, and said:

"Accompany the governor to go out for a walk, and inspect the city of Taiyuan today."

......

"He's a, and Gao Ye doesn't treat us as human beings!"

Fan Shaosheng sat in the military tent, his face full of disbelief and resentment.

A family member also sighed heavily and said, "Don't say it, Gao Ye has always been the master who allows himself to eat meat and doesn't allow us to drink soup!" ”

"The completion of the granary this time also has a credit to our brothers, he found such a reason, so he kicked us away, didn't he just want to swallow this credit alone!"

Fan Shaosheng's face was cloudy, and he said:

"I don't know what the governor of Shanxi will do with us this time, I've already thought about it, if the punishment is too severe, we will simply go to Mengshan and fall into the grass!"

"It's better to fall into the grass and rob the house than to suffer this bird in this military camp!"

Hearing this, a family member suddenly remembered something and said:

"Hanging, it looks like you're going to have to make plans early. Zhu Xieyuan has a prestige in the southwest and Liaodong, the last time he supervised the seven border marshals out of the customs, the military regulations were extremely strict all the way, and I heard that even the general soldiers of Shanhaiguan were later executed. ”

"Gao Ye has added oil and vinegar to report up, and we are going to suffer."
