Chapter 278: The generals condemned in unison
Zhao Junsheng saw that Mulan was worried about him, and hurriedly said, "What can happen?" Isn't that good for me? Don't worry, those people can't afford to make big waves! β
Hua Mulan didn't see it that way, she said: "Who doesn't know that those shopkeepers and proprietors outside the bazaar are the house slaves and retinues of the lieutenant generals and colonels? They came here to open a shop just to serve their masters nearby, and if you arrest all these people, can the lieutenant generals and colonels give up? β
Zhao Junsheng smiled and said, "What can they do if they don't give up?" The only way for them is to go to An Dashuai to complain, but the establishment of a security team was agreed to by An Dashuai, can An Dashuai still go back on his word? β
Hua Mulan shook her head and said, "That's what I said, but I think it's better for Brother Junsheng to think of a way to deal with it!" Just now I heard that many generals and colonels in the army went to General Pi to complain, General Pi is not good to come forward, so let them go to An Dashuai, I think the Right Guard Army and the Woye Army are similar, if all the generals and officers who are dissatisfied with you go to An Dashuai to complain, I am afraid that Dashuai will not be able to withstand the pressure! β
Zhao Junsheng thought about it and nodded, "Well, I know!" Go to the camp and drink a bowl of mung bean soup to quench your thirst! β
Hua Mulan shook her head: "No, there is still something in my camp, come and drink again in the evening!" β
"That's fine, I'll keep it for you!"
After breakfast, Zhao Junsheng took Li Bao and others to leave the Jinling camp and go a few miles to the south to inspect the reclamation of the Woye Heavy Camp and the Right Guard Heavy Camp.
When Zhao Junsheng and others rushed to the wasteland, they found that the baggage soldiers of these two battalions were clearing the wasteland, and they hid in the shade of the trees one by one to enjoy the shade, gamble money, and gossip.
Zhao Junsheng stopped his horse with a gloomy face, jumped off the horse and walked behind a baggage soldier who was gambling money, there were more than a dozen baggage soldiers in a circle, betting on the size of the dice, and some people watched from the side and did not participate.
Among the onlookers, some people saw Zhao Junsheng and others coming over, and saw that Zhao Junsheng was wearing high-grade cowhide armor and a cloak, and his expression and temperament were not like ordinary soldiers, but he was afraid that it was a major official, so he hurriedly saluted: "Meet the general!" β
Li Bao shouted beside him: "This is Dutong, the boss of your captain!" β
Immediately, someone shouted: "Stop playing, it's all here!" β
The soldiers who gambled were so frightened that they got up one after another, and they honestly called "Dutong" one by one, and they didn't even have time to put away the dice and copper coins.
Zhao Junsheng glanced at these people and asked, "Which baggage camp are you from?" β
One of the soldiers replied: "Back to the capital, we are from the right guard battalion!" β
"Are you all going to Jin?"
The soldiers looked at each other, and one of them replied, "I didn't come to Jindu!" β
"Didn't come? And what about you who are in charge here? β
"AlsoΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Didn't come either! β
Zhao Junsheng wanted to scold his mother, this bastard didn't take the task he gave seriously at all, it's been five days, and the wasteland hasn't been cultivated much, but there is no one all day long.
Zhao Junsheng held back his anger and asked, "So far, how many acres of land have you cultivated?" β
"About a hundred acres!"
More than 1,000 people, it took five days to reclaim more than 100 acres of wasteland, Zhao Junsheng couldn't wait to pull out a knife and cut people, but this can't all be the fault of these soldiers, go to Jin and those officers under him have a lot of responsibility, if the soldiers are not controlled, they must be ducks, and they can be lazy as much as they want.
Zhao Junsheng didn't say anything, and directly got on his horse and galloped towards the location of the Woye Heavy Camp.
When Zhao Junsheng and the others left, one of them asked, "I said, are we still gambling?" β
Someone next to him scolded: "Bet on your mother!" Didn't you see that Du Tong was about to kill just now? If you are not afraid of death, you can continue to gamble, Lao Tzu would rather lie down and sleep than play, don't win money, but play your head off, that is wrong! β
Zhao Junsheng and others rode to the location of the Woye Army's baggage camp to open up the wasteland and asked, the situation was similar, Captain Liu Chang and his officers were not present, these soldiers were uncontrolled, where would they work under the sun, they all hid in the shade of the trees to chat and fart, there were also gambling money, and there were also fishing in the water, in short, none of them were still clearing the wasteland.
Zhao Junsheng suppressed his anger and returned to the baggage camp camp, and asked Li Bao to send someone to call Qu Jin and Liu Chang.
It took a long time for the two to arrive.
"Subordinates meet Dutong!"
Zhao Junsheng asked: "Two, five days ago, Bendu gave you the task of clearing the wasteland, and now how many acres have you two battalions cultivated?" β
He hesitated for a moment and replied, "As of yesterday, our camp has opened up one hundred and twenty-two acres!" β
"Back to Dutong, my battalion has opened up one hundred and thirty acres!" Liu Chang replied.
Zhao Junsheng stared at the two of them with a cold face, "Five days ago, Bendutong told you that if you are given five days, each person will reclaim an acre of wasteland on average, but now that the time has come, you told Bendutong that only one-tenth of it has been reclaimed, do you think I, Zhao, am so foolish?" β
Qu Jin hurriedly said: "All forgive the sins, the subordinates have no such intentions, and the subordinates also want the brothers to reclaim more wasteland, but we don't have the tools, so the efficiency of using those swords is too low, and now the weather is starting to get hot again, and only a few hours after morning and noon can work, and the rest of the time can not work at all!" β
Liu Chang also said: "The subordinates are similar, the key is that there are no tools, and the efficiency is too low!" β
Zhao Jun smiled angrily: "Your soldiers have no tools to cultivate the wasteland, so this is your excuse?" If you don't have the tools, you're looking for the Bento? What do you two want to do? You all eat dry food, and you only get paid and don't work? It's no wonder that the soldiers in your two battalions are so hungry that they are all hungry, just because they have incompetent people like you as their bosses, they are also unlucky, why did they meet you two wine bags and rice bags as bosses? β
Liu Chang and Qujin were scolded by Zhao Junsheng so much that their faces couldn't hold back, and Qujin retorted: "Dutong doesn't have backache when he stands and talks, you let the soldiers of the baggage battalion in Huaishuo Town go to the wasteland to try it out, and see if they are willing?" Besides, it's hard for a good woman to cook without riceΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Zhao Junsheng didn't want to talk nonsense with these two guys anymore, so he waved his hand directly to drive people away: "I'm upset when I hear it, get out!" β
Liu Chang and Qu Jin walked out of the camp tent, and the two glanced at each other, and a triumphant smile appeared on their faces at the same time.
In the evening, Mulan came over for dinner, and the two of them had just finished eating and were about to leave the camp for a walk, but they didn't expect An Yuan to send someone over and ask him to go to the marshal immediately.
"I'll go too, I haven't been there yet!"
"That's fine!"
The two took Li Bao and a few of his own soldiers out of the camp and came in the direction of the marshal's line.
"Hey, master, are you going to the marshal?" On the way, she met Tuoba Yuling, and when she saw Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan and the others, she immediately asked.
Zhao Junsheng saw that it was her, and said in surprise: "How did you know?" β
Tuoba Yuling said: "Just now, many generals and officials in the army went in the direction of the marshal's line, and I heard that they went to the marshal to sue you!" Not only our Huaishuo Town, but also many people from the Right Guard's side! β
Hua Mulan was a little worried, if An Yuan couldn't withstand the pressure to cure Zhao Junsheng's crime, things would be in trouble, she hurriedly said: "Brother Junsheng, if it really doesn't work, you will abolish the security team later, don't forget to hit the cusp!" β
"I don't know what the situation is, let's go see the situation first!"
A group of people came to play the marshal's line, checked the waist card and came to the marshal's tent.
The huge tent was crowded with people, all officers and colonels of all levels of the three armed forces, and these people all looked at him with cold eyes.
Fortunately, there was no one with him who had a good relationship among these people, and Zhao Junsheng felt a lot more comfortable.
"Humble and meet the marshal!" Zhao Junsheng walked to the middle of the handsome tent and saluted An Yuan.
An Yuan raised his hand, motioned to Zhao Junsheng to excuse himself, and said: "Zhao Dutong, this commander called you here because the security team collected security fees and sanitation waste from the market merchants, and those merchants gathered outside the barracks to discuss the law earlier, and you sent someone to arrest them all, right?" β
Zhao Junsheng replied: "Dashuai is well-informed, it is true!" β
Yasuhara nodded, pointed to the generals and colonels who were full of tents, and said: "These colleagues in the army have received complaints from those merchants, and they want you to let people go, and they have to give an explanation, how do you think this matter should be handled to calm the public anger?" β
Zhao Junsheng clenched his fists and said: "Dashuai, I don't know why I want to calm down the anger of the people, whose anger is it that I am appeasing?" Who are the merchants? Or these colleagues in the military? β
Beggar said loudly: "Of course it is to calm the anger of those us, what kind of security team are you doing, you are playing the piano indiscriminately, and you dare to collect money from them, but they are running to trouble us and crying to us, you immediately dismiss the security team, and the market is business as usual!" β
"HahahaΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Beggar was furious: "Why are you laughing? β
Zhao Junsheng said coldly: "I laugh at you for being an idiot!" What do those merchants do to you? Are you a general, and are you afraid of them? Do they dare to trespass into the barracks? If they dare to run to the barracks to find trouble, they will be hacked to death! β
"Also, who do you think you are? You're just a fucking general, and you can't control my Zhao Junsheng's head! The establishment of the security team was approved by the commander! Where is it cool, where are you staying! β
"You Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Beggar Fuluo was so angry that he trembled, but he didn't dare to do anything in this handsome tent, if it was outside, I was afraid that he would have drawn his knife and started with Zhao Junsheng.
"Ahem!" At this time, King Yongchang coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention to him, "Zhao Dutong, the marshal agrees that you will set up a security team to manage the market, can you agree to collect security fees and sanitation fees from the merchants?" β
Zhao Junsheng hugged his fist to Tuoba Jian and said: "Back to the prince, it is my own idea to collect security fees and health fees from merchants!" Do local merchants have to pay taxes to the government when doing business? Since merchants in various places have to pay taxes to the government, why can't the security forces collect security and sanitation fees from market merchants? The soldiers who maintain law and order also need to eat, and it costs money to build the houses of the security team, purchase horses, ordnance, torture tools, set up sentry boxes, etc., and it also takes money to send people to clean up the bazaar. β
