The officers and soldiers held their breath, they fought with Changmao outside Jinling City for two years, and they could be regarded as having seen the world: "Shenrong, you tell the truth, without 108,000 taels of silver, the brothers will not be moved!" ”

This is telling the truth, don't look at the danger of Nanjing City, but Long Hair eats well, dresses well, and wears gold and silver, if they can really kill a Long Hair, it is developed, and the idle thousands of taels of silver are no longer in their eyes.

Zhang Yuliang laughed: "That's right, our brothers have seen the world outside Jinling City, He Genyunzhong and Wang Xuexuan wanted to fool us with 350,000 taels of silver, but I directly refused, and now they have agreed, broke the red thief, and rewarded 60,000 taels of silver!" ”

Sixty thousand taels seems to be a lot, but this team of soldiers is as many as 3,000 people, and if it is distributed above each person's head, then it is only twenty taels, and the officers are divided more, and the small soldiers are divided less, and finally it falls on the head of the big soldier, which is about ten taels.

This is not a heavy reward, everyone's morale seems to be a little low, but the next moment Zhang Yuliang said again: "Not only that, we have destroyed the red thief, He Genyun has promised, let us be the chief soldier of Wenzhou Town, as for the brothers, Xiezhen, Shenma, guerrilla, Duquan, and the general shortage are shared, and those who are willing to do it will go to Wenzhou Town to fill the vacancy, and those who are unwilling to do it will sell this shortage for money!" ”

This sentence made everyone excited, the status of the green battalion soldiers in this era is not high, and the income can only barely support their families, and sometimes they can go out to do a small business, but after all, they are soldiers, and these recruits are only temporarily recruited, and they will be dismissed after the war.

The situation in Wenzhou Town, these soldiers know best, this is almost a military town with the largest number of troops in Zhejiang Province, I don't know how many deputy generals, generals, guerrillas, capital divisions, thousand generals, generals, and foreign commissioners are lacking, these vacancies add up to at least hundreds, in addition, there are also shortages of soldiers in the green battalion.

Don't look at the green battalion soldiers are not valuable, but these real shortcomings are worth it, Buxing has some water Yong in Ningbo to make up for the green battalion water division as a soldier, but the green battalion water division gave a preferential price, asked for forty taels of silver, and the usual price is even higher.

The shortage of soldiers in such a Wenzhou town fell to Zhang Yuliang's subordinates, and everyone was very happy when they heard the news: "A Wenzhou town, I can at least get a general shortage!" ”

"If you can't get the general shortage, there will always be external commissions!"

"I usually bring a lot of courage, there should be a shortage of all divisions!"

"Zhang Shenrong, not Zhang Zongzhen, after fighting the red thief, can you get a deputy general for us!"

"Bullshit, you usually can't bring 300 people, and you still want to make a deputy general shortage, Zongzhen, we want a general shortage!"

At this time, the Baoju has not yet been to the point where the commander and the general soldier go everywhere, but even if there is such a commander and the general soldier, it is just a false position, and these generals in Wenzhou Town are short of soldiers but they are really lacking, and they can definitely be exchanged for a lot of silver, so as soon as everyone is happy, they feel that they will work hard for Zhang Yuliang.

Even if you don't exchange the shortage for silver, it's good to be a soldier in the green camp by yourself, and it's also an income, and you can go out to do a small business!

Over there, Zhang Yuliang immediately said: "Okay! This Wenzhou town is something I have fought hard for, but everyone has worked hard to break the red thief, so that we can go to Wenzhou town to eat and drink! The morale below was very high, and they all said: "General Town, Zhentai, we all listen to you!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Yuliang laughed: "Okay, you listen to me, let's stay still, I have already seen the red thief's plan, the red thief wants to lure us out and use the advantage of firearms in the field to severely damage us, then good, let's grind with him!" As long as you grind down, there is hope for everything! ”…,

This is Zhang Yuliang's result: "Time is with us!" ”

……

Zhang Yuliang thought so, but the Jinhua prefect didn't think so.

He originally thought that the dark clouds were gone and the light had appeared, but after running down in the past few days, he found that he might as well find a rope and hang himself.

Now he still has six counties in Jinhua Mansion in his hands, but the militia in Lanxi County has always been very brave, he sent people to the countryside to urge grain, but was driven back by the militia in Lanxi: "If you want money, you have a life!" ”

Not only did the militia in Lanxi drive his people back, but even the small group of officers and soldiers who crossed the border dared to look at it and were ready to rob it at any time, so the only ones he could really raise money and food in his hands were only five counties, and the red thieves still had four counties in their hands.

It seems that the Qing Dynasty is fighting against the red thieves, and if you look closely, it's just that Zhejiang Province came to deal with the red thieves, and at a real glance, it is actually just the power of the five counties of Jinhua Mansion to fight against the red thieves in more than a dozen counties, and now Shi Jingfen feels that Jinhua Mansion is still better to have fewer soldiers.

However, there are more and more soldiers, what kind of peace and bravery, strong and brave, loyal and brave have all emerged, they are all brave and brave from Quzhou Mansion, and each team claims to have thousands of brave soldiers, and asked Shi Jingfen, the prefect of Jinhua, to receive money and food since they entered Jinhua Mansion, and they all said very seriously, saying that they have been in arrears for several months, and if they do not give money and food, there will be a mutiny immediately.

Is this the Yong Battalion supporting Jinhua Mansion, or a swarm of locusts! But behind these brave battalions, there are big people in the province and even in the ministry, and they can't afford to provoke any of them, not to mention that there are hundreds of brave people in their hands.

But the problem is that Shi Jingfen doesn't know how many troops these brave battalions have, they don't check Shi Jingfen at all, and Shi Jingfen doesn't dare to check them, you know, the leaders of these brave battalions have the background of the province behind them.

As a result, in the past few days, Jinhua Mansion has been unable to deal with this group of locusts, let alone deal with those red thieves!

The red thieves also seemed to know that reinforcements were coming, but they watched Shi Jingfen's good show and couldn't stand out.

As a result, Shi Jingfen had even more headaches, and he had to pay food and salary every day, and many leaders even led a team to Jinhua Mansion to make trouble, so that Jinhua Mansion had no way to do anything at all!

In any province in the world, it will not be better than Zhejiang. Jiang Province is going to be chaotic.

What's even worse is that these brave battalions are definitely locusts, they have only been stationed for a few days, and there are already gentry everywhere below to complain, either robbing the money, or beating the gentry and the people, and even robbing the people's daughters, whether these brave battalions can succeed, Shi Jingfen doesn't know, but it is definitely more than defeat.

As for Zhang Yuliang's army, which has the strongest combat effectiveness, it is even more exaggerated, he has been standing still, and he has been sitting quietly with the red thieves without fighting, and the result is that the red thieves have become more and more arrogant, and they don't take the officials and soldiers seriously at all.

In this case, he could only find the famous general Wu Hongchuan in his mind to discuss: "Wu Shenrong, this is not a way, do you have any clever ideas?" ”

What's the idea? Wu Hongchuan really can't find any clever ideas, now Jinhua Mansion has a lot of reinforcements, but except for Zhang Yuliang's department, most of them are Yong battalions that promote the army in the battle, and now there are more than a dozen names on the Yong alone, these troops may not be completely ineffective, but Wu Hongchuan never believes that they can tie with the red thieves in the field.

But there are so many people, so let's keep it! Wu Hongchuan had this idea, and he immediately suggested: "Shifutai, don't go out of the city to fight with the red thieves, you have also seen these brave battalions under us, one is more ...... than the other"...,

He thought about it for a while, and finally found a term to describe these brave battalions: "Rice bucket, really let them go out to fight the red thieves, how many chances do you think you have to win!" ”

Shi Jingfen also understood this truth, but he was forced to have no choice: "The problem is, if you don't go out of the city to fight with the red thieves, these rice buckets will eat me to death first, and it will only be a few days, and the warehouse in our Jinhua Mansion will bottom out!" ”

"Then let's find a way to get some some!" Wu Hongchuan had nothing to do: "Why do you have to pay for it first!" ”

Speaking of this, Shi Jingfen was speechless.

The Great Qing Dynasty has been operating in Jinhua Mansion for so many years, the foundation is very stable, and the people's hearts are roughly towards the Qing Dynasty, but as soon as these locust-like brave camps cross the border, the hearts of the people in Jinhua Mansion have changed, and the red thieves have suddenly become cute.

Now there are even some gentry who are unbearably ravaged by the soldiers, and have secretly colluded with the red thieves, who have done so much work to win the hearts and minds of the people in Jinhua Mansion, and in the end it is better for this group of rice buckets to show up.

"It's all a bunch of rice buckets, if the local government can pay for the poor food, why should I, the prefect, be so bitter!" Shi Jingfen finally told the truth: "If Bingyong continues to be stationed like this, I suspect that it will cause a civil uprising!" ”

"Then the province didn't give some money? How can we say that our Jinhua Mansion is also a place of military prosperity, hundreds of thousands of taels can't be given, tens of thousands of taels can always be given! ”

Zhejiang Province is also the richest place in the world, especially Hangjiahu Pingyuan is even richer in the world, and there are Ningbo merchants, in the heart of Wu Hongchuan, tens of thousands of taels of silver can always be obtained!

It's just that Shi Jingfen complained bitterly again: "Or the officials in the province usually scrape too much, and now they really want to use the money, and they can't raise money, they originally wanted the Feng family in Ningbo to raise 700,000 taels of silver, but it happened that the Feng family had a funeral, and the Feng family dragged on, saying that it was only after the autumn that they could raise money, and now if they raise money, they can only end all the business of Ningbo Wharf, and hundreds of thousands of businesses at the wharf echo together, saying that the money is tight, and now they donate and lose, so they can only boycott the market!" ”

More importantly, the Taiping army entered Zhejiang this time, although it was in vain, but this group of locusts is a group of rice buckets in Jinhua, and it is also a group of rice buckets that cannot be fed in Quzhou Mansion. ”

If he couldn't think of an idea, Shi Jingfen could only pull the troops out to fight the red thief, and even if he lost, he would die early and get out early...... ）
