Chapter 16: I Really Need Money

Back in the teahouse, Yang Xuan took out the three thousand taels of silver tickets, leaving only five hundred taels and one hundred taels for everyone, and the other two thousand four hundred taels were handed over to Ma Mingluan, Fan Mingshan, Chen Huaixi and others for safekeeping.

Everyone was shocked, in ancient times, eight hundred taels of silver tickets were equivalent to four or five hundred thousand yuan now, which was a huge amount of money, and it was strange that Yang Xuan actually let others keep it.

Looking at the suspicious people, Yang Xuan said with a smile: "In the past few years, natural disasters have continued, and bandits are rampant in the local area, plus the barbarian Qing Tartars in Liaodong, it can be said that the country is in the autumn of survival."

This three-way meeting seemed to be overwhelming, but the officers and soldiers lacked money and food, and many soldiers and horses were in arrears for two months, which would inevitably affect morale and even provoke a mutiny.

Although these three thousand taels of silver are a drop in the bucket, they are better than nothing, and they can be used on the battlefield in the future and can also be used for emergency purposes. ”

Everyone just came out of the Huang family's compound, and everyone was despicable Yang Xuan's villainous behavior, and they were even inferior to their fiancée for money, which was very shameful.

Then after seeing that only five hundred taels of silver tickets were taken, more than one hundred taels were given to everyone, and the remaining two thousand four hundred taels were handed over to Fan Mingshan and others for safekeeping, he shook his head secretly, this Yang Xuan is far from the person who loves money as everyone sees on the surface, he is really a gentleman who is above board.

Now listening to Yang Xuan's actions, it was mainly caused by the extermination of the local tyrants in northern Sichuan, and everyone was even more emotional, and everyone hugged their fists again and again to show their gratitude.

Since ancient times, how many years of blood, no matter that young man, the blood in his chest is hot, not to mention that in Mingji Shilin and Wusheng, the imperial examination is a moral article, and the official is compared to the honor, in this era of superficial morality, many people would rather choose a more difficult path for the sake of integrity.

Seeing that he had received everyone's hearts all of a sudden, Yang Xuan was overjoyed in his heart, and asked Xiao Er to set up the wine and food, singing poetry with everyone on the one hand, reminiscing about the past, and sorting out today's gains on the other.

During the banquet, everyone was puzzled, Yang Xuan did not do a good job of being a deputy leader, and actually went to be such an inferior low-level officer, which was really unbelievable.

After a little contemplation, Yang Xuan was moved and sang "Song of the Intellectual Youth in the Army" loudly

You don't see, the end of the Han army, the weak crown is the captive, please Changying,

You don't see, Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds!

The boy should be in serious danger, how can he let the Confucian crown miss this life?

The situation is that the country is in danger, and the feather is constantly fighting!

Abandon my old pen, and write my wartime,

More than 100,000 comrades sang war songs and joined the army.

Qi joined the army, cleaned the dust, and swore to sweep away the slaves without regard for themselves!

Everyone initially complained about Yang Xuan, although they saw Yang Xuan take out money, not like a greedy person, but they were still quite hesitant in their hearts.

Now I see Yang Xuan singing "The Song of the Intellectual Youth in the Army" in public, the lyrics and music are different from ordinary people, and the voice is exciting, everyone feels very different, and some of them sing loudly, so admired.

Everyone drank and sang at the same time, and it was only when the sun went downhill that it dispersed, Ma Mingluan saw that Yang Xuan had drunk a lot, called a carriage, personally accompanied him with two martial artists, and sent him back to the barracks.

In the carriage, Yang Xuan remembered what happened today, not only did he get three thousand taels of silver, but he also had a heart-to-heart relationship with Fan Mingshan, Chen Huaixi, Ma Mingluan and other talents and martial artists, and more importantly, he established a looming relationship network.

Two hundred years later, Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang led the Hunan army to pacify the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, not only because Zeng Guofan himself was an important minister of the imperial court, but more importantly, he collected the hearts of Hunan scholars for his own use.

Through the dense network of teachers and students, classmates, and fellow villagers, the Hunan army became the most closely related collective of that era, so fierce for more than ten years, although there were almost twists and turns, and finally pacified the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the Hunan army and the Huai army successively became the largest political and military collectives in the country, and finally formed a trend that could not be dropped.

It is now the middle of the seventeenth century, more than two hundred years away from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom era, firearms are far less advanced than the Hunan army era, and more blood and courage are needed on the battlefield.

And Fan Mingshan, Chen Huaixi and other martial arts born in martial arts, both civil and military, as long as a little training can fully meet this condition.

After thinking about this, I had a clear understanding of asking Fan Mingshan, Chen Huaixi and others to keep the money and belongings.

Besides, Yang Xuan is now in the army, if he hides such a huge amount of money, it will inevitably attract many people's concerns, but it is not safe, so there is no way to do it.

Sure enough, when he returned to the barracks outside the city, the matter of making trouble in the Huangfu spread, and everyone was very concerned on the surface, including the general Wang Gui, and several hundred generals in the front bureau, the middle bureau, and the right bureau all came to care, and during the conversation, Yang Xuan didn't know whether he cared about himself or the huge amount of money.

At noon the next day, the generals Wang Chaoyang and Master Zhu went out one after another, and the money was also mentioned in the conversation, and the promotion was mentioned, according to Wang Chaoyang's meaning, if he could take out five hundred taels of silver, he could be promoted to the total, and if he took out two thousand taels of silver, he could be promoted to a thousand total.

Yang Xuan was dumbfounded, spending money to buy Bai Zong, or the master was playing a side drum next to him, once raw and twice ripe, now the main owner actually came forward and sold it at a blatant price, which is really shocking.

There is the momentum of the stock to be traded immediately, but then shake his head again and again, as the saying goes, the higher you climb, the heavier the fall, if you don't fight a battle to bribe a high-ranking official, not only is it unfair to your generals, how will the world view yourself in the future?

suppressed the momentum, shook his head calmly, and said that although he had a lot of experience in training, he didn't know whether the battle was like this.

If you can make convincing achievements, when the time comes, you will be promoted to the general or something, and filial piety money will definitely be indispensable.

Seeing that Wang Chaoyang's brows flashed with a trace of unhappiness, Yang Xuan was even more frightened, some despicable villains in ancient times were quite dark in their hearts, and they would rather offend a gentleman than a villain.

In order to show his integrity, Yang Xuan secretly prepaid a hundred taels of silver as a deposit for buying officials, and the other party smiled, feeling that they were their own people.

After resting outside Shunqing City for two days, the army set off one after another, and Liu Jiayin, the general of the army, and Wang Chaoyang, the general of staff, led more than 6,000 people as the middle road, along the banks of the Jialing River to Pengzhou.

Ancient Pengzhou, including today's Peng'an County (called Xiangru County in the past), Yilong County, Yingshan County three counties, Yao Tiandong, the head of the local tyrant, led the main force to garrison in Xiangru County, the army decided to divide the army into two routes, the general soldier Liu Jiayin led the main force of 4,000 to attack the ancient city of Yunshan in Jiangbei, Longjiao Mountain Ferry, in order to cut off the return route of the local tyrant.

And the general Wang Chaoyang's department as a feint, directly approaching the Pengzhou administrative office in the south of the Yangtze River is like a county seat, attracting the attention of the other party.

Since entering the territory of Pengzhou, the local rioters have sent troops and horses to attack and harass from time to time, hindering the advance of the army, and the movements of the various units have been unusually slow, and there are days when the mountain road is less than 20 miles.

Yang Xuan was born in a person, although the training for more than a month was hard, many people still think that it was a show, and it was in vain, and the other bureaus went to the front to play the striker, and the left bureau was less than 30 years of labor, and he bore his own food and grass, so he walked behind.

Less than an hour after leaving the camp that day, I saw a fire burning in a house a mile ahead.

Yang Xuan was stunned in his heart, could it be that a local tyrant came out to do evil?

But it doesn't look like it, the local thugs have done evil, kidnapped and ransom, and looted the township, which has aroused the public indignation of the people, and under the call of some patriarchs and squires, various localities have organized regimental exercises and begun armed confrontation.

Although there are many people and the momentum is huge, but there are many hills in northern Sichuan, and a few ordinary local rioters are of no avail, if there are too many people, everyone beats gongs and drums and hides in the cottage to fight back.

There was not much noise in front of it, and there were not many fires, unlike large-scale human movements.

exchanged glances with everyone, and asked Yao Zhijiao to lead the department to take care of the grain baggage, and Guo Chonglie led a killer general flag and a firearms general flag to the front quickly.
