Chapter 90: Playing Zuo Liangyu's Trick
"The imperial court doesn't send the silver directly, why do you send someone over? Bring him in! Zuo Liangyu glared and wanted to get angry.
The soldiers brought Liang Jinde in.
"Xia Guan pays a visit to Ning Nanbo." Liang Jinde bowed to Zuo Liangyu.
Half a year ago, when Emperor Chongzhen was still there, in order to appease Zuo Liangyu, he named Zuo Liangyu as Ning Nanbo, and most people in the court directly called Zuo Liangyu Ning Nanbo.
"What did the emperor send you for? When will the marshal's salary be delivered? Zuo Liangyu asked with a cold face.
"Uh--- this, this -----"
"It's like a fart! Quickly answer Ben Dashuai's question. Zuo Liangyu glared and scolded.
"The emperor sent an official to discuss with Ning Nanbo, the military salary you want is too much, the court really can't take out so much silver, see if you can reduce it by half, what about the amount of 300,000 troops, if Ning Nanbo agrees, the court will definitely deliver it on time every month." Liang Jinde said carefully.
Although Liang Jinde and Zuo Liangyu have a kinship that can be beaten, but I don't know how far apart, I'm embarrassed to say it, what use can I have there, the task assigned to him by the emperor is really not easy to do, looking at Zuo Liangyu's expression, I know that I will definitely not agree, Liang Jinde complained helplessly.
"Fart, pay back the amount of 300,000 troops? That's only half the story, absolutely not! The 600,000 troops under the marshal, day and night to resist the thieves going south, must get the full amount of military salary, the imperial court has been more than a year has only given the marshal 200,000 army salary, accumulated to the present, so much arrears, this time must be issued for half a year, not a penny, otherwise it is likely to provoke the army mutiny, when the hundreds of thousands of troops go to Nanjing in anger to discuss the law, it is no wonder that the marshal is not enough. Zuo Liangyu said arrogantly.
He had an army of 600,000 in his hands, and the court immediately sent someone over when he received his folds, indicating that the court was already afraid of him, and as long as he continued to threaten and was not afraid of the court's intransigence, he would obediently send him the silver.
"Ning Nanbo, look at this ------" Liang Jinde also wanted to say that the imperial court didn't have so much silver, so why should Zuo Liangyu reduce it, even if it was to reduce the amount of 100,000 troops, he couldn't return to Nanjing without any achievements, in case the emperor was angry, how could it be good to treat him for the crime of ineffectiveness.
However, Zuo Liangyu didn't give Liang Jinde the slightest chance, and immediately interrupted Liang Jinde's words before Liang Jinde finished speaking.
"No, no, you go back and tell the emperor that within a month, the marshal must see the military salary, otherwise, the 600,000 soldiers are dissatisfied, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be forced to lead them to Nanjing to ask for an explanation, and the marshal can't control it."
Although Zuo Liangyu knew in advance that Liang Jinde and him were related to each other, what kind of things they were, not to mention that they could be beaten with eight poles, even if his son was involved in silver, he would not give face.
Liang Jinde's cold sweat was about to drip down, and he quickly wiped it with his sleeve, Zuo Liangyu really refused to compromise, how did he go back to tell the emperor.
"Come on, send Lord Liang out." Zuo Liangyu saw that Liang Jinde was still standing here, and he had no intention of going out at all, so he was immediately dissatisfied, and shouted towards the door, and suddenly several pro-soldiers walked in and prepared to 'invite' Liang Jinde out.
"Lord Liang, please take it!"
"Ning Nanbo----" Liang Jinde still wanted to speak.
"Boom!" A personal soldier next to him immediately drew his sword, a clear threat.
Liang Jinde was frightened by the dazzling cold light on the knife face, his face turned pale, he didn't dare to speak, and hurriedly walked out, although it was difficult to return to the emperor after going back, his life was more important.
After Liang Jinde got out of Zuo Liangyu's mansion without anything, he sighed helplessly, and then got into the carriage and rushed back to Nanjing City.
Twelve days later, Liang Jinde returned to Nanjing.
"Your Majesty, Lord Liang is back and is waiting outside the palace for the emperor to summon you." Zhao Dequan came in to report.
Coming back so soon?
Zhu Cihong frowned, very dissatisfied, Liang Jinde has only been back and forth for twenty-four days, which means that he has not been in Wuchang City for a day, and he was driven back by Zuo Liangyu on the same day, this is too useless, why don't you stay there for two days?
"Xuan!"
In a moment, Liang Jinde was brought in.
"Weichen Liang Jinde knocked to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" Liang Jinde bowed.
"Flat!" Because he was not satisfied, Zhu Cihong's voice was a little cold.
Liang Jinde was very frightened, he didn't know how to speak, and he stood there for a while without speaking.
"How's it going?" Seeing that Liang Jinde didn't speak for a long time, Zhu Cihong frowned dissatisfiedly and asked.
The emperor asked in person, and Liang Jinde had to speak.
"Back to the emperor, Weichen --- Weichen ------" Liang Jinde gritted his teeth, didn't think about it, and directly said Zuo Liangyu's original words: "Ning Nanbo said that the military salary of the 600,000 army for half a year must not be missing, and the imperial court must deliver it to Wuchang within a month, otherwise the 600,000 soldiers in Wuchang are disgruntled, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be forced to lead them to the capital to discuss the law." ”
"Bastard thing! Zuo Liangyu, a rebel, a thief! Although he had expected it, hearing Zuo Liangyu's obvious coercive words still made Zhu Cihong scolded angrily.
"The emperor atoned for his sins! Wechen is guilty! Liang Jinde knelt down in fear, afraid that the emperor would really punish him under this anger, and then his black gauze hat would not be protected.
"Get out, get out of here!"
Liang Jinde hurriedly retreated, extremely fast, for fear that the emperor would repent of the crime of treating him ineffectively.
Zhu Cihong was already angry, seeing that Liang Jinde was running as fast as a rabbit, he was even more angry, and the fold in his hand that he hadn't had time to see was thrown at Liang Jinde violently, smashing on Liang Jinde's back, which scared Liang Jinde to run faster, and when he reached the threshold of the main hall, he was mixed and almost fell, but Liang Jinde still disappeared in front of Zhu Cihong as quickly as possible.
"Grandma's, it's all waste, greedy for life and afraid of death, you can't get any results, not even two more days, waste! Useless waste! You'll die if you live with Zuo Liangyu for two days, and you'll die if you come back a little slowly! Zhu Cihong scolded, lamenting that there are few talents, and there are too many people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.
After scolding, Zhu Cihong lost his breath and sat back on the dragon chair to think about the next matters.
Picking up Zuo Liangyu's original request for military salary, Zhu Cihong wrote a reply to appease Zuo Liangyu, and after discussion, the court has agreed to his request for salary, and promised to deliver the salary to Wuchang within a month, so that he can continue to resist the thief army and be loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, it is naturally impossible for Zhu Cihong to give the real silver to Zuo Liangyu, so the candidate for the silver must be cautious, otherwise if it is accidentally leaked on the way, it will be troublesome.
"Chuan Jinyi Guard commanded Zhang Kuishan to come to see me." Zhu Cihong planned to let his henchmen bring some brocade guards and 10,000 Jingying to escort the silver.
Zhang Kuishan soon came to the imperial study.
After Zhu Cihong waved everyone away, he told Zhang Kuishan about his plans and layout, Zhang Kuishan is his confidant, he must be trustworthy, and it is most appropriate to let Zhang Kuishan lead the escort.
"The emperor is really a god." Zhang Kuishan admired.
It turned out that the emperor actually had this plan, so much so that he thought that the emperor really compromised with Zuo Liangyu, and sent the silver to Zuo Liangyu for nothing.
"This plan is to delay time, you have to slow down as much as possible along the way, but it can't be too slow, it's not good to make Zuo Liangyu suspicious, as long as it drags on for a month, and then it will take nearly two months to go back and forth. After you send the 'silver' to Wuchang, for the sake of safety, you can't enter the city, let Zuo Liangyu personally go out of the city to get the 'silver', if he goes out of the city, you will give him the 'silver', if he refuses to go out of the city, you will directly put the 'silver' still outside the city, hurry back, I don't want my henchmen to be killed by Zuo Liangyu in a rage. Zhu Cihong instructed.
"The emperor is sage, the minister knows." Zhang Kuishan said with a smile.
The emperor's plan is really poisonous, if Zuo Liangyu knew what happened, he would definitely be so angry that he vomited three liters of blood, and he might even be angry to death.
Zhang Kuishan excitedly took the order to prepare, thinking about whether he was adding some ingredients inside, and it was best to directly anger Zuo Liangyu to death.
Three days later, more than 1,000 Jinyi guards, together with a 10,000 Beijing battalion, escorted more than 8 million taels of 'silver' all the way to Wuchang to 'deliver' under the leadership of Zhang Kuishan, the commander of Jinyiwei.
After Zhang Kuishan set off, Zhu Cihong issued a decree to Huang Degong of Luzhou, urging him to immediately speed up the training of soldiers and horses, and move to Jiujiang after half a month, and at the same time plan to deploy defenses in Anqing, Wuhu and other Yangtze River arteries, not to mention blocking Zuo Liangyu for a month, even three or four months will not be a problem.
