Shi Wengong let out a sigh of relief and said, "Put down all the blades." ”

As soon as Shi Wengong's words came out, there was an uproar left and right, and a man stepped forward and said, "Teacher, how... ”

Before this man's words came out, Shi Wengong had already waved his hand and then said: "Don't make innocent sacrifices anymore, you can't beat the officers and soldiers, go back and live well with the family, the matter of the Zeng family will end here." What's the point of fighting any longer, and why is it fighting? ”

When these men heard Shi Wengong's words, most of them fell into contemplation, why they fought this word, everyone really didn't think about it. The last time I threw my head and spilled my blood was to defend against the thieves on Liangshan, and at that time, we were united to protect the family.

At this time, when he fought again, he was facing the government, and the government would not rob him of the property of a common man, and even if the government collected taxes, he did not receive his own head.

But some people thought about it a little more, and said: "Teacher, at this time, if we put down our swords, and the government takes us to ask for the guilt, what should we do?" ”

Shi Wengong shook his head and replied: "The government has already explained that only the first evil will be punished, as long as you wait to go home and cultivate well, and there will be no more trouble, you will not be blamed." Go home, and leave all your blades here. ”

Shi Wengong said that, many men were already moved, but the person who spoke in front of him said: "Teacher, how can you believe the words of the dog official, if you don't blame it now, you have to come and take someone in a few days, wouldn't it be slaughtered by others." ”

When Shi Wengong heard this, he was inexplicably a little irritable in his heart, and said in an unkind tone: "If the government goes back on its word, then how about letting me die first?" I'll die before you first. ”

Shi Wengong's words were loud. As soon as the words fell, there was the sound of a blade falling to the ground.

A chain reaction was formed, and countless blades had landed.

"Go back, go home, don't get together here anymore, let's go!" Shi Wengong said again.

The crowd began to turn their heads and return to Zhuangzi.

There are still many people in the distance who don't know why, but they have seen countless men throw their weapons and turn back into the village, and most of them follow suit.

Zheng Zhi nodded and began to beat his horse forward.

Suddenly, seeing a team of men and horses galloping away from the west of Zengtou City, heading straight for the west entrance of Zengtou City, Zheng Zhi frowned, and asked, "Who led the troops out of the battle without authorization?" ”

Wu Yong had already arrived at the right and left, and hurriedly said, "Xianggong, it was General Han who led the troops out of the battle." ”

Zheng Zhi was furious and asked, "Who gave the order?" ”

Wu Yong was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly replied: "Xianggong, it was the student who ordered General Han to enter the Zhuangzi in the name of Xianggong. ”

As soon as Wu Yong's voice fell, he saw that the horsewhip in Zheng Zhi's hand had been raised, and he slapped Wu Yong fiercely, and reprimanded angrily: "How dare you pass on military orders without permission, don't you want to die?" ”

Everyone left and right, but no one expected Zheng Zhi to suddenly become angry, and his eyes were staring at Wu Yong.

Wu Yong was very frightened, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted and knelt on the ground, not knowing where his mistake was, and hurriedly said: "The right soldiers are in chaos, the students are overstepping, making assertions, forgiving sins, forgiving sins!" ”

Wu Yong knew in his heart at this time that Zheng Zhi was so angry, this matter was no longer about the right or wrong of the order, but that the military order was no better than the others, and only one person could always be ordered, and the military order must not be something that anyone could overstep and assert. It's not something that anyone can issue at will in the name of Zheng Zhi. As long as Zheng Zhi is not authorized, no one can do it.

Wu Yong has been following Zheng Zhi in recent months, and Zheng Zhi is mostly obedient to Wu Yong's words, but it does not mean that Wu Yong can replace Zheng Zhi to issue military orders.

As long as Wu Yong asks Zheng Zhi first, and then goes to talk to Han Shizhong, the procedure will be correct. In fact, it didn't take much effort, but Wu used the past few months to let him ignore this procedure.

Zheng Zhi saw Wu Yong, who was kneeling on the ground in front of the horse, accepted the horse whip, and said: "Come on, the military law will serve, the spine staff will be thirty, and this guy will be locked up in the prison for good introspection." If there is another incident in the middle of a big war, it will not be spared. ”

Now the power is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more people around you, and the army is getting bigger and bigger. All rules and regulations must be strict. Rules are the foundation of effective management of a large group, and if everyone can easily issue military orders in their own name like Wu Yong, it will be all chaotic.

Today's opportunity is just right, Zheng Zhi wants to set up this rule. Today's Cangzhou, today's Jinglufu is no longer the original simple group, it has become a huge power group, and many things must really establish a procedural foundation in order to ensure the normal rule of Zheng Zhi.

Wu also knew in his heart that his arrangement was right, otherwise Zheng Xianggong would have sent someone to chase Han Shizhong back at this time. But he also knew better in his heart that he shouldn't go over like this, and the generals shouldn't be able to be mobilized in the name of Zheng Xianggong.

"Thank you for your generosity, the students must keep it in mind and will not dare to act like this again." Wu bowed and thanked him, but he was still worried about whether Zheng Zhi would alienate himself because of this incident.

Zheng Zhi didn't say much, waved his hand and said, "Take this guy down." ”

Everyone on the left and right is thinking, this matter has never been encountered by everyone, and the truth is also clear in their hearts.

Niu Da came forward with a few soldiers to tie up Wu Yong on the ground and take him down.

The atmosphere was a little depressing, and Luda stepped forward and said, "Brother, those men in front of me have thrown down their weapons and gone back, should I take the troops into the Zhuangzi?" ”

Zheng Zhi looked up and saw that Shi Wengong was guarding the Zhuangkou in the distance with a few people, collecting his blades, and replied: "Han Wu has already led the troops in, I won't enter the Zhuangzi later, just let Li Gang bring some people in, confiscate all the property of the Zeng family, appease the people, and then set up a recruiting point in this Zengtou City, so that Shi Wengong can join the army, if he doesn't comply, take him to prison and wait for disposal." ”

Li Gang stepped forward and said, "Obey!" ”

Even Li Gang's face became extremely serious, and he felt that he seemed to have learned a lot today, although he couldn't say what he had learned, but he also obviously knew that he had gained a lot. Zheng Zhi's means and methods of handling things really opened up a new idea for Li Gang.

In the distance, Wu Yong was tied up and taken away by Niu Da and placed on the open field, and the two soldiers stood on the left and right with huge wooden sticks, alternating on Wu Yong's ass and back.

Screaming and screaming.

Niu Da also said on the side: "Wu Xuexue, you bear with it, thirty canes are not much, and the fight will be over in a while, the official must be a weak scholar who reads you, if a soldier is beaten, fifty or seventy canes are also a common thing." ”

Although Niu Da still spoke to comfort Wu Yong, there was no trace of fraud in the spine of the two military men on the left and right, and every blow was tight. Military law is no better than others, if it is a fraud, these two military men are afraid that they will suffer dozens of blows.

Where can Wu Yong still hear Niu Da's words, he really didn't care about being beaten just now, and he only thought about not being snubbed by Zheng Zhi after this matter, and at this time he realized that the spine of the army was really painful, and he could only wail and scream.

Before the head of the Zengtou City, the Zhuang men all entered the Zhuangzi, and the ground was full of blades. Zheng Zhi turned around and commanded: "Call Zhulong to collect it, and I'll go back to the city first." ”

The generals on the left and right all followed Zheng Zhi to fight back and turned back, leaving Li Gang to go to Zengtou City with a hundred and ten people.

Tokyo Bianliang.

Today, Zhao Ji is quite annoyed, although the early dynasty has only been on for half an hour, it makes Zhao Ji restless, just because Tong Guan threw out one thing, the battle of Yanyun is imminent, and the military budget has not yet fallen.

Zhao Ji has not been on the throne for a day or two, and he has never been bothered by money, and suddenly someone came to him to ask for money, but the court has no money, this feeling is really the first time Zhao Ji has experienced.

Zhao Ji came out of the arch hall, slowly walked out of Genyue, and suddenly turned around and said, "Old goods, go and call Wang Huang." ”

The word "old goods" is naturally called Liang Shicheng, Liang Shicheng hurriedly responded, and rushed away with his legs dozens of years old.

When Wang Huang went to the Xiaoxiao Tower to meet Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji opened his mouth and asked: "Do you have a way to do what Tong Guan played today?" ”

Wang Hao listened to it and wondered in his heart, just now in the court, Wang Hao said everything that should have been said, at this time the emperor asked again, but Wang Hao didn't know how to answer, only said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is sending people to urge Jiangnan to pay taxes, and you will definitely see money in a month or two." ”

"How much money can I see in a month or two?" Zhao Ji asked again.

This question really stopped Wang Hao, Wang Hao knew that he was suffering, and in the Shangshutai Yamen, he had just received letters from the state capitals in the south, and Wang Hanzhi, who was sent to the Jiangnan Economic Strategy to make an envoy, sprinkled thousands of words of articles, that is, to ask the imperial court for tax reduction and support the people. Wang Hao can see these movements, one head and two big. But he didn't dare to say it clearly in front of Zhao Ji.

"Your Majesty, you will definitely be able to get the first tax in a month or two, and there will always be one hundred thousand yuan." Things were still in a hurry, but Wang Hao had to give out the promise first, and tried to say a large number.

"One hundred thousand? What is the use of this money? Didn't you hear Tong Guan say above the court that Hejian Mansion has gathered troops for drills, and when will the grain be transported to Hejian Mansion? Zhao Ji asked again. I also know in my heart that the money can arrive slowly, but the food must arrive first, and if the soldiers can't eat, what is there to talk about fighting.

Wang Hao panicked when he heard this, transporting grain is naturally more complicated than transporting money, and money is easier to say, even if the taxes in Jiangnan can't be paid in a month or two, he can find a way to make it up. But the food is different, it is not that it can be made together, and the rations stored in the homes of the people of Kaifeng Mansion cannot be forcibly collected, if so, it will inevitably turn the sky upside down, and Wang Hao should resign and go home.

"Your Majesty, the minister must do it as soon as possible. We must speed up the delivery of grain to Hejian Province. Wang Hao had to reply like this, if he promised that it would be delivered in a month or two, it would really be a month or two later, that is, when Wang Hao resigned.

"How fast is the speed? Isn't there any other way? Zhao Ji asked again, there was already anger in his heart, this is not the first time that the imperial court has fought a war, it turns out that when the war was fought, Cai Jing Tongguan and others had arranged these things properly early, and there was no need for Zhao Ji to worry about it. Now that a Wang Huang is here, everything has to be worried about by Zhao Ji, the emperor, so that Zhao Ji can not be angry.

Wang Hao heard Zhao Ji's tone with anger, and he was anxious, but he also hated it in his heart, where did he know that Tong Guan played these things to embarrass himself above the court, it turned out that these things were discussed by Tong Guan and Cai Jing in private and then played in the court, but now this Tong Guan didn't even reveal a word to himself, and stabbed directly in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Master Tong has been fighting for many years and has very experience, there must be a way to deal with the matter of military salaries, money and food, why don't you call Mrs. Tong to discuss it together?" Wang Hao's words, if nothing else, are that he knows that the matter of military spending is an unsolvable problem at this time, that is, Wang Hao thinks in his heart, he will pull a cushion back when he dies, and pull Tong Guan to cushion his back together. I can't let myself bear the wrath of Emperor Zhao Ji here alone.
