Chapter 368: I Had to Send Troops (3)
"King Ruyin, please stop!"
"Get out of the way! This king wants to see Your Majesty! ”
"King, although you are a clan, you can't go to your majesty with a weapon."
"Bastard, these so-called weapons are meant to be shown to His Majesty! Do you want to let it? Don't let this king stab you to death with a single shot! ”
"It's nothing for the king to stab a subordinate to death, but he is holding a weapon and ramming His Majesty......"
"Humph! What if this king has to collide with Your Majesty this time, Gou Xi, stab this guy to death for me! Your Majesty will pursue it, and this king will bear it for you! ”
"No!"
"Don't be a king!"
"The king spares his life!"
Just when there was a mess outside the imperial study of the palace, Sima Yan, Pei Xiu, Zhang Hua and others heard the movement outside and came out collectively.
"Stop!"
When they saw Gou Xi, a stunned young man who was really ready to stab the eunuch with a spear, Pei Xiu and Zhang Hua all stopped in unison: What is the matter of a dead person outside the door of the emperor's study, and a large pool of blood?
"Uncle Seven, why are you so rude?" Rao is Sima Yan has always had a good temper, and he can't help it at this time. Do? Do you want to assassinate me?
"Bang dang~~~~"
Sima Jun, who is known as the most commendable person in the Western Jin Dynasty clan in the historical plane, used to walk in the world with a gentle face. But today, the prince's eyes were red, and his nose and lips were inciting, and it was evident that he was already extremely angry.
"Your Majesty! The minister was ordered to lead his troops south to quell the rebellion, and just now he personally went to the arsenal to check the weapons. As a result, the officials on duty actually used such a device to fool the ministers! How can such a device be handed over to a soldier with a face? How can a soldier be expected to win a battle with such a weapon? ”
With Sima Jun's roar, Sima Yan looked solemnly at the weapon that was thrown on the ground: the rusty spear head, the bow that had begun to decay, and the handle thread had spread out into a mess...... He kind of understood why this usually gentle and elegant seventh uncle would go berserk.
"Huh~~~" took a few deep breaths, and Sima Yan, who was barely holding back his emotions, turned his head: "Ji Yan, who is in charge of the affairs of the arsenal?" ”
"General Yang Huan."
The so-called Yang Huan is the son of Yang Xiu, who flaunted his talents, participated in the battle for Cao Cao's crown prince, and was killed by Cao Cao. According to the generation, Yang Huan is the cousin and nephew of Yang Jun, Sima Yan's father-in-law.
Corruption in warehouses such as grain depots and arsenals is extremely common. In the early years, the Shu Han Kingdom was weak and weak, and in order to concentrate every force in the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang formulated an extremely strict system for warehouse management when he was alive. One of them is that a warehouse fire is equivalent to corruption. After Guan Yi took the position, he also adhered to this article.
This kind of rule is very unreasonable: Oh, I worked so hard to guard the warehouse, and as a result, I accidentally caught fire and became a corrupt person? This makes too much sense, right?
But I can't help it. Otherwise, warehouse administrators often take the initiative or are forced to enrich themselves under pressure from superiors. When the amount of corruption is too large to hide. Often, it's just a fire: it's a fire, and at best it's a dereliction of duty. It's not corruption.
And Wei Jin, who has a big family, has a big business, and the management of the warehouse is not so inhumane. So......
Speaking of which, Yang Huan is also unlucky: the arsenal is shoddy, and there are all kinds of deficits. But if Sima Jun reveals his identity and goes directly to Yang Huan to get something as a prince, Yang Huan will definitely personally receive him and take out the better weapons in the arsenal. But the bad thing is that this prince is usually low-key, even after being reminded by Du Pre, he still didn't reveal his identity. just sent Gou Xi to contact the officials of the arsenal with the holy decree of sending troops. And although Gou Tubo has killed a lot of people on the historical plane, he is only eighteen years old now.
Therefore, the officer on duty at the arsenal was really happy to see a half-sized man come to do something: he was worried about the deficit some time ago and didn't know where to make up for it. You're a young man who is here to do things, don't fool who you fool?
It's a pity that although Gou Xi is young, he can be appreciated by Shi Jian, which means that he is not an ordinary person. Besides, the quality of your weapon is truly astonishing. Really when I'm stupid?
"Your Majesty, please order a thorough investigation of the equipment in the arsenal! As His Majesty said, Luoyang is now the border. If the Shu thieves are killed and the soldiers need to come forward, will they be allowed to use such weapons to defend Luoyang? ”
On the surface of history, the rebellion intensified due to the bald tree function. Sima Yan sent Ma Long to the west. Malone went to the arsenal to ask for weapons before the expedition, but he was also embarrassed by the relevant personnel, and fooled Malone with all kinds of inferior weapons. At that time, Sima Yan did not punish the people in the arsenal, but made a will: let Ma Long's soldiers choose their own weapons. It's kind of putting this matter to rest.
But now the situation is different: at that time, Marlon's soldiers were only 3,500 men, and the arsenal was so large that no matter how corrupt it was, it was no problem to choose high-quality weapons from them to meet the needs of this people. But now Sima Jun's army is 30,000 people. There is also this: Luoyang is now the border!
Therefore, at this time, Sima Yan was really angry: "Pass the decree, let Yang Huan, the general of the army, run into the palace to see me!" ”
As a result, Yang Jun had not yet arrived, and Yang Jun came first.
"Your Majesty, when there is another hidden situation in the matter of the arsenal, please ask Your Majesty to retreat left and right, and Rong Chen will elaborate on it."
"Humph! Such a big thing must be solved. Marquis of Linjin, what do you want to tell me alone? I'll talk about it here! ”
"Minister...... Speechless. ”
My Majesty, the Luoyang arsenal is the largest arsenal in the Great Jin Dynasty. The army here is a full 100,000 people, and the weapons must be returned to the arsenal after training in peacetime. The rest of the place was a field army, and most of the weapons followed the soldiers. Therefore, all the powerful and all the generals want to be corrupt in weapons, and they will only put their ideas on the arsenal! I don't know how many clans and families share profits from this, how dare I tell these things in such a public occasion? Do I want to be a human being?
Just when the monarch and ministers were at a stalemate, Yang Huan, who received the news, ran in sweating profusely.
"Yang Huan, the general of the Chendian Army, visited His Majesty, a capital crime! Please also ask Your Majesty to be magnanimous and give the minister a chance, and he will definitely let the King of Ruyin return satisfied! ”
"Humph! Of course, this king must get enough sophisticated weapons for the soldiers on this expedition before he stops! But if you think that this king will be satisfied with this alone, you are underestimating this king! This king has asked His Majesty to conduct a strict investigation of the affairs of the arsenal! ”
"The Great King. He has been in charge of the arsenal for more than four years, and in the past four years, the country has been engaged in constant wars, large and small, and the loss of weapons has been extremely serious. In addition, in the past year, the training intensity of the 100,000 Chinese army has been extremely high, and the weapon damage rate has remained high. ”
"Humph! Of course, the king knew that the country had been at war and sometimes defeated in recent years. That's the loss of people and weapons. But the soldiers of the state are more or less, and there are no fewer craftsmen in the arsenal rationed by the state! The annual allocation of pig iron, wrought iron, and timber is not decreasing, but increasing! The amount of money allocated annually to arsenals for the production of weapons has doubled in the last four years! ”
When Sima Jun was saying this, Yang Jun's hat was about to fly: "You guy, you are here to target my Yang family, right?" Otherwise, how can it be so clear? By the way, the profit of the arsenal, you guy has always pretended to be high, and never mixed it. Hum! Hypocrisy!
"Your Majesty, what King Ruyin said is not all the truth. In the books of the arsenal, you can ......"
"Alright, shut up!"
Speaking of what the hell is going on here, Sima Yan is actually very clear. What makes him feel extremely sad is not the corruption of the arsenal - the official style of the Great Jin has never been good, he knows this. What made him really uncomfortable was that this seventh uncle, who usually looked gentle and elegant and never got involved in all kinds of political struggles, actually fired at the Yang family at this time.
But my seventh uncle, this is going to war. Is it really appropriate for you to engage in political controversy at this time? Also, no matter how unbearable the Yang family is, as a relative, the Yang family is an indispensable force to maintain the balance of the court. If the Yang family is really destroyed, how can I, the emperor, sleep well at night?
"In this matter, please ask General Dianjun to allocate high-quality weapons to Uncle Seven as much as possible. Uncle Seven must be satisfied. ”
"Obey."
"As for the inventory of the arsenal, of course, it will be carried out. But now it's important to send troops quickly. In the Guanzhong War last year, if it weren't for the Chinese army's procrastination and delay of fighters, how could the war situation develop like this. Secretaries, the country is troubled, and it is difficult to get through it. It also needs the sincere cooperation of all secretaries. Everything has to be prioritized. ”
"Your Majesty's lesson is true, and the ministers have written it down."
"Well, so be it. Uncle Seven, please hurry up and prepare. Strive to send troops within half a month. It's late September, and I heard the general say that in two or three months, snow will begin to fall on the Shangyong side. At that point, it will be too difficult to enter from outside the mountain. ”
"The minister obeyed the order, and decided to send troops within half a month, and enter the mediocrity within a month."
