Chapter 8: Others cheat on me

"What's the matter?" Zhang Yang was a little confused, he didn't know what was going on at all.

However, seeing Wangcai's anxious appearance, he knew that the matter must be very serious, so he followed Wangcai and ran towards the Jingxi Defense Camp without asking.

The so-called Jingxi Defense Battalion, whose full name is the Beijing West Gate Defense Battalion, is one of the fifty soldiers and horses built during the Ming Taizu period, mainly used for the defense of the capital.

However, after a recent move, although the Jingxi Defense Battalion is still there, it has long lost its former fierceness and has become a nest of farmers who farm.

This has to be attributed to the famous tuntian system in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, it is not that the tuntian system is bad, at first the purpose of Zhu Yuanzhangtun, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, was to use soldiers and peasants to cultivate wasteland in order to obtain military support and tax grain. So he created a unique system of guards, with the central government monopolizing military power, setting up guards in important places across the country, and the soldiers were successively supported by Tuntian. This system played a huge role in maintaining the centralized rule of the Ming monarchy.

It's just that at this time and then, the criminal law was harsh during the Ming Taizu period, and the guards all over the country were quite incorruptible, but with the death of Ming Taizu, many things have changed their taste, so that today's Jiajing Dynasty is chaotic, and the combat power is far less than half of the original.

"Second little master, you forgot that at the beginning of this year, His Majesty made you the commander of the west of the city of Zhengliupin, and controlled the defense battalion of the western part of the city, at that time, you made a rule to go to the point once a month, and then you said that you didn't have anything to look at with a bunch of **, and you didn't go for most of the year. Originally, in fact, it didn't matter whether to go or not, the most important thing is that according to the military system, as the commander of the first battalion of the Fifty Soldiers and Horses Division, you need to report to the military aircraft at the end of each year, and the deputy commander Wu Yong and Lord Wu sent a message a few days ago, so you must go over before today......"

After listening to Wangcai's reminder, Zhang Yang finally remembered that he still had the identity of a commander in the west of the city.

In fact, this is also normal, although he is the second son of the British Duke, he has no right to inherit the title of duke, but after all, the British Duke is loyal to the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and it is because of the last year that Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne and took advantage of the enveloping Jiangmen, so at the beginning of this year, he was enshrined Zhang Yang a commander in the west of the city.

Although it is only a petty official of the sixth grade, it is not to be underestimated.

After all, Wucheng Soldiers and Horses is the last bottom line of guarding the Beijing Division, and it is a great responsibility, and it can also be seen that Emperor Jiajing still trusts the British public lineage very much.

It's just that Zhang Yang didn't have the consciousness of being an official at all, and the first time he went to the Jingxi Defense Battalion, he set up a rule of ordering Mao once a month, and later he thought that the camp was full of soldiers and directly delegated all his strength to the deputy commander Wu Yong, and finally he didn't even bother to go to the point once a month.

If it weren't for the military system of the Ministry of War to report at the end of the year, I'm afraid that even Wangcai would not bother to remind him.

The two of them hurried along the way, and they were tired enough.

Wangcai is better, after all, he has walked a lot on weekdays, and now he can hold on for a while while while trotting, although he is tired.

However, Zhang Yang can't bear it at all.

In the past, Zhang Yang was purely a drunken bastard, and he was the second son who had no hope of inheriting the title, whether it was the current British Duke Zhang Lun or the former old Duke Zhang Mao, they all felt that they owed him too much and spoiled him.

Not to mention trotting, even walking is only limited to a kilometer or two, and now I can't run far before I lose breath and collapse on the ground.

But fortunately, he met a farmer driving an ox cart to pull straw on the side of the road, and Zhang Yang finally got into the ox cart after paying the price of 30 yuan and went to the Jingxi Defense Camp.

When I came to the Jingxi Defense Camp, dozens of men inside were standing outside a camp tent waiting for the news inside, and they all looked at Zhang Yang angrily when they saw Zhang Yang coming.

However, although he was angry, no one spoke, and at this time, Wangcai couldn't help but snort on the ground, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "The commander of the Jingxi Defense Battalion, Zhang Yang, is here, and you are waiting for thousands of households and hundreds of households to come forward to salute?" Also, let Wu Yong hurry out to greet him, Lord Zhang finally came back, can't this dog-like thing even be a human? ”

Hearing Wangcai's reprimand, thousands of households stepped forward to salute Zhang Yang reluctantly, and more eye-catching guards next to him entered the camp to inform Wu Yong.

Zhang Yang felt that his hairs stood on end for a while, no wonder Zhang Yang didn't like to come here before, it was really that these people were too vicious.

Their eyes widened, as if they owed them hundreds of millions.

After everyone finished saluting and dispersed, Zhang Yang whispered to Wangcai and asked, "Wangcai, what's the situation with these people?" How can it be as if your second grandfather owes them money? ”

Wangcai looked depressed, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Second little master, we just owe them money!" You forgot, we spent too much money a few months ago, so you asked Wu Yong to send you the military salary..... It seems that the gang has not been paid for three months. Today, this gang of killers came over, presumably to ask Lord Wu for salary. ”

Rao is used to seeing all kinds of divine operations in later generations, but Zhang Yang is still stunned by the operation of 'himself'.

O Nima!

Those second generations are just cheaters, he is ..... Even yourself is a pit!

It is conceivable to what extent the conscience will be lost if the military salary is not paid for three months.

Originally, the military salary of the Ming Dynasty was greatly discounted at all levels, and Zhang Yang, as the chief officer of the Jingxi Defense Battalion, had to peel off a layer of skin, and there was Wu Yong, the deputy commander, below..... In the end, it was sent to the hands of the big-headed soldiers, apparently only enough to eat the chaff.

But Nima now eats bran is a luxury.... Because all the money was misappropriated by Zhang Yang, the ancestor of the mixed world, if it weren't for Taizu's Tuntian system.... Those big-headed soldiers were hungry and could still catch their breath, otherwise they would have mutinied a long time ago.

However, even so, it can be seen that the camp is really full of dangers, and if it is not paid, I am afraid that it will really mutiny.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yang hurriedly said to Wangcai: "Wangcai, hurry up, go to the account room to pay 500 yuan, remember not to take silver, take all copper coins!" ”

"Is the second little grandfather going to give our own family's money to these killers?" Wangcai is a little reluctant, why should we use the money in the house to pay back the money we embezzled with our ability?

I have to say that it's not a family that doesn't enter the door.

The virtue of prosperity is really enough for Nima!

But when he was kicked by Zhang Yang, he pulled his head and went to do what he was told. Of course, he didn't need to walk on this trip, there were horses in the barracks, even if they were old old horses..... It's a horse, too!

Waiting for Wangcai to leave the Jingxi Defense Camp, Zhang Yangcai slowly walked towards the camp, he watched coldly, and from time to time there were one or two whispered scoldings in his ears but he didn't pay attention to them at all, this gang of killers is really not a thing, isn't the second little grandfather greedy for your money?

Is it necessary?

Today, the second little grandfather will send you money, and you will have to earn me ten times and a hundred times more money tomorrow!
