Chapter 482: The Election Will Restart
Yang Congyi also thought about this problem, and his decision was to let Lu You go to Jinhua again and let the state government yamen make up the missing vouchers.
He believes that the Wuzhou Prefecture Government will definitely not shirk, and they will make the account vouchers clear and can withstand anyone's verification and scrutiny.
In addition, there is almost no problem with the accounts of the entire battalion, and it does not matter whether the accounts are done well or not, but whether they are meticulous or not.
As far as Yang Congyi knows, the accounts of the vast majority of the forbidden army are chaotic, and once someone comes to check, they can't sort it out, and if they can't do it, they will be burned directly.
There are not many scholars in the army, and if they really want to make trouble with them, they will directly play tricks and refuse to admit it. If there are still people who want to be harsh, they will directly say, if you have the ability, you will send a scholar to manage the accounts in the army.
But how could a scholar surrender his identity to the army, so in the end, it can only be over, the accounts that should be messy are also messy, everyone in the court knows that corruption in the army is serious, but they can't find out.
But the selection of the general camp is different, it is the establishment of the selection of the general division in front of the palace, directly belonging to the front of the palace, the court allocated a huge amount of money, and the king of Pu'an County served as the commander, which shows its specialness everywhere.
Now it is in the center of the whirlpool, if the accounts are messy, or there are no accounts, a "unnecessary" can involve all the people who want to be involved, the first to bear the brunt is Yang Congyi himself, who made him the deputy envoy of the selection of generals, and presided over the affairs of the election of generals as the deputy commander of the selection of generals.
As long as there are no mistakes in the accounts, the election camp itself is not corrupt, and the money of the imperial court is spent where it should be used.
Shen Jinxin told Yang Congyi about some major events that had happened in Lin'an recently, and he took it to heart, although he knew that the ultimate goal of the people in power in the DPRK and China was to make waves and hang the king of Pu'an, who was the commander of the general camp, but he was only a seven-rank petty official, and all he could do was to try not to make mistakes and save his life.
As for the factional game in the court, just wait for the final result, the same emperor's adopted son and one of the only two heirs of the Great Song Dynasty, it is impossible for the king of Pu'an County not to have his own support.
The rain is still falling, in just a few days, the atmosphere in the camp is gradually changing, Yang Congyi feels it, but he has no intention of tasting it, he wants to hurry back to the mountains, the challenges behind may be very hard, he has to face it with Luo Cong and Yao Chang, and give them ideas.
Dozens of days later, the rain finally stopped and the sky cleared.
After another five days, the camp announced the start of the election challenge.
In the council hall of the Shuai Camp sat the chief general of the Eighteenth Route Forbidden Army, and there were more than a dozen generals outside the council hall begging the forbidden army on duty to let them in.
"Generals, you better go back, we are also acting on orders, whether we can go in or not is not up to us, we have to join the army to agree. General, don't embarrass us! ”
The forbidden army on duty explained to them over and over again that they were not allowed to set foot in the council chamber.
"Let's start the lottery!"
Shen Jin didn't say much today, and after announcing that he would resume the election challenge tomorrow, he would immediately start drawing lots.
Sitting in front of the mountain where a general couldn't wait, he reached into the basket, quickly took out a paper ball, unfolded it, and was quite disappointed.
"Ready."
"Next."
Before the general shook his head and returned to his original position, the general next to him got up and came to the table with the bamboo basket.
I saw that the general stretched out his hand to stir in the basket, and then picked out a paper ball, opened it carefully, and the expression on his face immediately became depressed.
"Ready."
"Next."
The third general quickly stepped forward, stretched out his hand and took out the paper ball at random, unfolded it, and was overjoyed.
"Fight! I got it! ”
Shen Jin took it over and inspected it, and after confirming that it was correct, he folded it again.
"To fight or not to fight?"
"Fight! When the Tianwu Army comes, they will fight! ”
The general's voice was high-pitched, he looked at Shen Jin, and then glanced at everyone in the hall, as if he was showing off.
"On behalf of the Election General Battalion, I hereby announce that the fourth forbidden army to enter the mountain to challenge is the Tianwu Army! Get your gear tonight, and start the challenge tomorrow! Disband. ”
"Congratulations, this battle will definitely be won!"
"Thank you generals for your help, if you win this one tomorrow in the mountain, you will definitely have everyone's credit!"
Before they stepped out of the council hall, the generals began to look forward to tomorrow's challenge victory.
They are indeed worth looking forward to, these days as soon as there is time, a group of generals will get together, listen to the three generals who have already entered the mountain to challenge and summarize the successes and failures with them, the generals can not learn anything from it, and think that the grasp of the challenge of entering the mountain is very sufficient, and it is only today that there is a posture of rushing into the mountain.
If you want to say what they really learned, it really can't be said, the most inspiring thing for them should be the unusual way of marching used by the Divine Cavalry after entering the mountain, they used the unbelievable march to make the active selection of troops retreat to the camp to defend, and the two sides fought a positional battle.
They really don't have confidence to play unprepared in the mountains, but if the two sides are in position, their chances of victory will be greatly increased.
The attitude of the forbidden army from all walks of life who came to participate in the selection of generals has changed, and Shen Jin does not know whether to rejoice or not, on the one hand, it means that the challenge of selecting generals will be more intense and exciting, and on the other hand, it means that the year before it will definitely not end.
The change in the attitude of the forbidden army began when he announced several things to the commanders-in-chief of the various armies, the first thing was the position of the commander of the general selection camp who had not shown up for a long time, the second thing was that the daily ration of each army was determined by the training time, and the third thing was that the army could leave the general selection camp before the end of the election was announced, but the departing army would no longer have any subsidies, including the rations needed on the way back to the station.
Even if someone thought about leaving before, as soon as the third matter of the general battalion was announced, it directly cut off their retreat, Yiwu was hundreds of thousands of miles away from the station, there was no money and no food, how could they go back.
The forty-one forbidden army, including the three-way forbidden army that has long lost the qualification to be selected generals, all stayed in the selection camp safely, after all, there is a place to eat and live, and there is a chance to see the noble county king, whoever leaves early is a fool, not to mention that some people come to participate in the election of generals, or with the order of mixing the five thousand yuan subsidy.
Shen Jin found the main generals of the Xuanwei Army, the Divine Cavalry Army and the Dragoon Army who had participated in the challenge, so that they had time to chat with other generals about the specific encounters in the mountains, don't be afraid of being embarrassed, maybe the army that entered the mountain behind is even more embarrassing.
The three main generals comprehended, because only the three of them went into the mountain to challenge, so the eyes of others would be fixed on them, arranging their strange words, if there were more teams entering the mountain and more teams failing, the attention of others would naturally be diverted.
After Shen Jin talked to them, the three of them often talked to other forbidden army commanders about the encounter of entering the mountain challenge, as well as the lessons they had summed up, and repeatedly regretted that if he was given another chance to enter the mountain to challenge, he would definitely be able to defeat the selected generals!
The generals of the forbidden army from all walks of life were quickly aroused to challenge the mountain, because the commander of the general camp is the king of Pu'an, and if he performs well enough, he will have the opportunity to get the attention of the king of the county!
Since then, the daily training time of the various armies has become longer and more serious, and they want to fight hard to earn a good rank, so that the chances of being summoned by the county king are also greater.
The fourth team to challenge the mountain left the camp, and there were many people who came to see off the pedestrians, and the Tianwu army quickly drove into the mountain with everyone's blessings.
In terms of the combat experience of the Divine Cavalry, going north has a greater chance of winning, so the Tianwu Army did not hesitate to turn directly to the northern mountains, the complex terrain and various forks in the northern mountains are the best cover for the challenge team, and it is difficult for the selected troops to set up an ambush in advance.
Three days later, after a difficult march, the Tianwu army finally reached the vicinity of the Elective General's troops, which was only five or six miles away from their temporary camp.
Along the way, the Tianwu army kept changing the route of the march, changing in half a day, so that the opponent could not ambush in advance on the halfway, this decision was very successful, and they had never seen anyone who selected the troops in the past three days.
"Pass the order, rest in place for an hour, bury the pot to cook, eat and drink to your heart's content!"
The orders of the Tianwu army soon spread throughout the army, and the exhausted soldiers immediately fell to rest, while the firehead army, which was responsible for lighting a fire and cooking, had to continue to work hard, they had to fetch water to wash rice, and make a fire to cook rice.
In the past three days, the soldiers have not eaten a few hot meals, and whether they can win this battle depends on whether this hot meal can dispel the fatigue of the soldiers and arouse their fighting spirit.
There is a small stream near the place where the Tianwu army rests, the amount of water is not large, there are a lot of dead leaves in the water, it looks not very clean, a group of soldiers who dig rice and take water go upstream along the stream for more than ten zhang before they find a small pool, so they have gathered on both sides of the pool to take water and wash rice, the first to come first to tao, and the later to line up.
Half an hour later, each team of fireheads cooked the rice one after another, and a pot of white rice was steaming and fragrant.
The soldiers who fell to the ground to rest were attracted by the aroma of rice, opened their eyes one after another, got up and gathered around the rice cooker, eager to taste it.
As a forbidden army, naturally they can't rush to grab food, in the camp of selected generals these days they have learned some pre-dinner rules, first of all, the first is to line up, the second is to have soldiers in front, and generals in the back.
"Open the meal!"
The general will order, and the whole army will have a meal at the same time!
Five miles away, the woods on both sides of the mountain road were quiet, no birds could be heard, no beasts could be seen, and there was no doubt that there were many people in ambush in the forest.
"General, they really rested there and washed rice and cooked!"
"Are you sure?"
"It's true! The subordinates are a few feet away, and they see it with their own eyes! ”
"Good!"
"Brothers, no need to ambush, let's go to the top of the mountain and wait for them!"
It was Luo Cong who came to accept the challenge today, he gave an order, spread the order, and the whole army quickly came out of the forest.
They quickly climbed the hill half a mile away and firmly occupied the entire mountain.
