CHAPTER XXXIII
Zhu Yidao held up his body in the room for most of the day before he woke up. I just raised my head and still felt a headache, and the stamina of this wine is really not small! You'll have to take it easy next time you drink it.
Jiang Fei playfully handed over a towel that had just been wet with cold water: "My lord, you better rest for a while!" Nabobai has already led his troops out to quell the rebellion, let's just wait here! ”
Although Jiang Fei is a thousand households, he is not stupid, he has long seen how Wanli treats Lao Zhu differently, of course he can't be sloppy! Call him an adult, he will not suffer, if Lao Zhu is prosperous in the future, he will have to take more care of himself!
"Hehe, I didn't expect this Bo Bai to be so active, it's just that Huo Luochi has united several tribes, so he rashly led the troops over and didn't suffer a loss!" Lao Zhu covered his face with a towel disapprovingly to make himself sober and sober.
"Don't worry, my lord! I've seen the soldiers of Nabobai, and they are all fierce people, and they are all cavalry, and the cavalry of General Li Chengliang of our Ming Dynasty is not necessarily worse than them! There's still nothing wrong with them bullying Huo Luochi! Jiang Fei didn't care at all and said to Lao Zhu.
"That's good, don't lose the battle at that time, we didn't get anything from our work, but went back with sin! It's a shame to say it! Zhu Yidao laughed.
Ningxia Cheng announced the political envoy department, and the political secretary yamen.
Dang Xin stared intently at the chessboard, and Chen Cheng, the political envoy opposite him, urged impatiently: "Oh, every move has to be thought about for a long time!" I'm almost asleep! ”
Dang Xin took a step unhurriedly: "What are you panicking about, you have to take five steps to take one step!" This chess game is impatient, you have to think slowly and carefully......"
Li Yun, the deputy commander-in-chief, hurriedly walked in: "Lord Governor, Bobai has sent troops!" ”
Even Chen Cheng couldn't help but change his color, this Bobai has always been arrogant and domineering in Ningxia, he doesn't take anyone in his eyes, and he is rampage in the market, and the personal soldiers of the deputy chief soldier Li Yun almost fought with them a few days ago.
Dang Xin still closed her eyes, and her fingers were little by little on the chessboard: "The hurricane has passed, and the grass is the only one left...... Only by avoiding its edge can we grasp its vital point......"
Deputy General Soldier Li Yun stomped his foot, turned around and strode out again. This time Huoluochi attacked, Bo Bai asked himself to send troops to quell the rebellion, and he sent troops without the consent of the political envoy, and he really didn't take the Ming government in his eyes. This tribe that has only been invited for many years, there are 3,000 elite horsemen under the tent, as well as Bo Chengen, the son of Bo Bai, Bo Yun, Tu Wenxiu and other generals, what does he want to do?!
Also, the emperor sent Jinyiwei to observe, but he didn't even care, and threw Jinyiwei's hundreds of households in the mansion to take care of them, which was actually house arrest in disguise! How daring! Aren't you afraid that if Jin Yiwei suddenly takes him out?
No, the emperor sent the brocade guards to Bobai, but what is the meaning......
Jiang Fei hurriedly inspected Bobai's camp worriedly. Listening to those sentry soldiers, let alone this year, even last year's military salary has not been paid, Bobai has a private soldier, called the Cangtou Army, which has always been in the hands of his son Bo Chengen, and there is no meal; But after all, people are descendants, and Bobai quietly gets food from other places to support the Cangtou army, like them. Almost all of them have given up.
Looking at those emaciated veterans, Jiang Fei suddenly understood in his heart, why Bo Bai was secretly smuggling grain, it turned out that the root was here! However, Bobai's annual military salary is controlled by the local governor Dang Xin, and if there is a lack of military salary support, it can only be secretly withheld by Dang Xin. However, Dang Xin's approach is understandable: these aliens, you have raised them enough, and the future will be endless! It's better to let this toothless tiger starve, only when it is hungry, it has no strength to bite.
But Dang Xin seems to have forgotten that if this tiger is extremely hungry, it will bite people!
Jiang Fei hurriedly reported what he had seen and heard to Zhu Yidao.
When Lao Zhu learned the news, his eyes rolled, and he asked Jiang Fei, "Why are we here this time?" ”
"Of course, it's to cooperate with Bobai to quell the rebellion!" Jiang Fei was confused.
"If we see that our allies are short of pay, should we help them?" Old Zhu Yin smiled, he also learned this trick from Wanli.
Jiang Fei's eyes lit up, and then he frowned again: "Bobai's subordinates may not necessarily ......"
"It's okay! Just look at me! Lao Zhu snapped his fingers mysteriously.
Zhu Yidao, accompanied by Jiang Fei, came to the left-behind camp in Bobai again. The elite in the camp has been taken away by Bobai, and the rest are some old and weak, after all, the elite is a minority, only 3,000 people, but there are more than 5,000 people in the camp!
As soon as they saw the high-ranking officials of the Jinyi Guard suddenly coming, these people were a little at a loss, and the general who stayed behind ran over in a panic and called a thousand: "My lord, I don't know what the two of you are here for?" ”
Lao Zhu smiled: "It's not a big deal!" We have also acknowledged General Bobai's kindness for a long time, and we have come today to see how his soldiers are doing! ”
So the general hurriedly opened the way in front, but Lao Zhu's smiling face slowly became gloomy, and in the end, it was almost dripping down.
The general was stunned for some reason, he didn't seem to have offended this lord in any way, right?
Lao Zhu walked aisle beside a paralyzed veteran with a gloomy face, and gently pressed his right leg that had begun to shrink with his hand: "Do you still feel it?" ”
The veteran shook his head expressionlessly.
Sighing, Lao Zhu left the veteran sadly, stood up, and slowly looked around at the silent soldiers.
"They are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and they are all bloody battlefields for the Ming Dynasty...... That's what they get?! Lao Zhu pointed at everyone and shouted angrily at the general!
The soldiers were amazed. It turns out that this lustful brocade guard is such a soldier-loving person! The previous disdain in everyone's eyes turned into a trace of respect.
The general didn't say a word, and knelt on the ground: "My lord! It's not that the little ones don't dare to tell the truth, it's really that the governor Dang Xin is too deceitful! We haven't been paid for two years! General Bobai had no choice but to beg for food everywhere, but how long could that food last?! We have nothing to say about the Ming Dynasty's defense against the Mongols, and it is incumbent on us to do so, but the brothers really can't get enough to eat! ”
As he spoke, he kowtowed on the ground, and everyone slowly knelt down to Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu's heart suddenly loosened a little. These soldiers don't know anything, they don't understand anything, but they know that if they eat the emperor's food, they have to serve the emperor! No matter how high Bobai's prestige is, it is still not as high as the emperor. He can't take care of everyone, he can only take care of his own gray-headed army, and it is difficult to guarantee that others will not have ideas.
Jiang Fei also looked at Zhu Yidao with admiration, this guy is really good at figuring out people's hearts! With this move, the military heart can be used!
Lao Zhu hardened his heart, was silent for a long time, and then turned to Jiang Fei and said, "How much more military rations do we bring over this time?!" ”
Jiang Fei immediately understood what Zhu Yidao meant, and shouted: "Adults, don't!" We brought over more than 300 people, and all the rations for each person didn't add up much! ”
Lao Zhu ignored it and shouted, "Take it all out!" ”
Jiang Fei immediately quit: "My lord! Our brothers are going to eat, too! You have taken care of these people, what will we brothers do? ”
The general and the battalion of soldiers looked at them in astonishment. Now there is still such an official! In order to let the soldiers who are not his own belong eat, he actually quarreled with his direct subordinates! What kind of courage does it take!
Lao Zhu was furious, and pulled out a knife and put it on Jiang Fei's neck: "Lao Tzu will take it if you want to!" Don't listen to military orders, right? I'll remove you now! ”
Jiang Fei also looked at Lao Zhu angrily, and shouted with a stiff neck: "Even the governor doesn't care about them anymore, my lord, why are you so troubled!" ”
Lao Zhu's knife tightened again: "Do you take it?!" "But I'm thinking in my heart, don't do it, otherwise it's too fake!
A trace of mist appeared in Jiang Fei's eyes, and he still didn't understand what this new hundred households was thinking, but he suddenly found that Lao Zhu's eyes blinked, and he immediately understood! I exclaimed in my heart, this is the master! Since then, no one has been able to mobilize these thousands!
Jiang Fei stomped his foot fiercely: "I'll take it!" "Turn around and run out.
Lao Zhu also put the knife back into the scabbard, panted heavily, turned his head and said to the general: "I don't have much food, you gather people and give them to those disabled soldiers first!" Anyone who dares to rob it, cut it! ”
