Chapter 286: Battle (22)

After Gong Dingyu entered the courtyard and saw Sun Chuanting in front of the Yimen, all doubts about urging him to hurry disappeared. The facts are obvious, Sun Chuanting also considered that the weather might turn bad, so he had to urgently urge the quartermaster of his army to catch up and deal with the military affairs immediately.

Originally, the Ming Dynasty did not have any strict military management, and all military expenses were decided by the commander.

More than 3 million yuan a year is sent to Liaodong, and more than half of it can be used up with some reasons. The household department is not clear, the military department does not know, anyway, it is a mess of accounts.

Zhu Cihong decided to prevent such a thing from happening again in any military town.

Whether a court's control over the army is strict and strict, the control of military expenses and military supplies, and the reimbursement of military expenses are the most basic embodiment.

Sun Chuanting originally had a deputy chief sent by the Quartermaster Department here, cooperating with the quartermaster of Xuzhou Town itself, cooperating with each other to make account books and reimburse expenses.

In wartime, it was transferred to another system, that is, the grain system.

All expenses, military supplies, are all responsible for the grain station, Gong Ding is not here, of course it is a mess, no wonder Sun Chuanting urged.

When he saw that Sun Chuanting came to greet him in person in front of the Yimen, the little unhappiness hidden in Gong Dingyu's heart disappeared.

He hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to the ground, and his tone was also very respectful, and he only said in one voice: "How dare you, how dare you." How dare the students call the old-timers to greet them, they are too frightened! ”

Sun Chuanting is a jinshi in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, and his name is really far above ordinary civil officials except for a group of old bangzi. Gong Dingyu is just a Jinshi in Chongzhen's seven years, although the name of the department is early, in front of Old Man Sun, it is really far behind.

If there are more than three department names, they can be commensurate with the old-timers.

In the Ming Dynasty, officials were promoted to the public seat, in addition to looking at the official position, they had to rank the name of the department.

The weight of the name of the family is not something that future generations can imagine.

"It's been very hard for Xiaosheng to come all the way, so what if the old man greets him?"

Sun Chuanting is really not a person who will be polite and will come to things. He has an early name and high ability, but his official career is not very smooth, if it weren't for the promotion and recommendation of his teacher Hong Chengchou, I am afraid that even his current achievements may not be there.

"Haha, students don't have any hardship." Gong Dingyu looked at Sun Chuanting very frankly and said with a smile: "The soldiers are really hard!" ”

"Hmm." Sun Chuanting stared at Gong Dingyu closely, and after watching it for a while, he nodded and replied, "Xiaosheng can say such a thing, and the old man is very relieved." To be honest, in this war, the old man in the military is in charge, and Zhu Mo can only be my deputy, he is waiting for us in Jinan, Shandong, Xuzhou, all military grain stations, all have to look at Xiaosheng. ”

"Students can only do their best, and there is so much military quartermastery, and they must go all out. If it is a student who is negligent in his official duties, the old-timers can just ask Shang Fangjian to behead the student. ”

Sun Chuanting did not trust Gong Dingyu before this.

He was rectified by Yang Sichang first, because he would not be left and right in the bureaucracy, and there was no party affiliation. Yang Sichang clearly bullied him, and no one helped him out.

As a result, King Qianliqin, although he was afraid of the Qing soldiers at that time and did not dare to fight, but he was still meritorious in defending the city, but he was thrown into prison and suffered a lot.

Until now, he is still deaf in one ear, and he can only listen to people with his ears sideways, so when Gong Dingyu speaks, Sun Chuanting can only tilt his head.

Fortunately, everyone knew about his problem, and no one said that he was disrespectful.

After listening, Sun Chuanting smiled, grabbed Gong Dingyu's right hand, and said with a smile while walking in: "Your Highness sent filial piety this time, and the old man is also relieved." In this war, the amount of military funds allocated really surprised the old man. In all the wars, in terms of the Battle of Nanyuan, He Renlong was 2,000 soldiers, plus Zuo Guangxian, Cao Bianjiao, and my Fubiao, plus more than 10,000 people, as well as Hong's subordinates, an army of 30,000 or 40,000 people, plus Master, I'm afraid I don't want 100,000 people? But what about the quartermasters? It's about 30% of what it is now! In short, everything is handled by Xiaosheng, I am here to ask someone to give people, and I didn't say anything. If anyone dares to stretch out his hand in the quartermaster, you will report to me, and I will cut off his head! ”

There was still a temptation in his words, Gong Dingyu thought about it, and knew that the old man in front of him was also a clean official, and he had a lot of money in his hands after all military training, but he didn't get a few for himself.

Of course, it is impossible not to stretch out his hand at all, Sun Chuanting had dozens of staff members before, and when he became a big official, there were many people in the clan who defected to him, and his protégés must also take care of him, and it was inevitable that he would fight in the same year of the autumn wind.

If he becomes a feudal official, if he is as clear as water, don't say that he offends foreign officials, even if he is the same year and his clan, he can be scolded to death.

Now, of course, it is different, the prince has already mentioned Yulu, and an official like Sun Chuanting who has been added to the Taibao has a salary of 18,000 taels of silver a year, plus additional subsidies such as charcoal, cloth, and herbs, and an income of more than 30,000 yuan a year.

Compared with those million-dollar wealthy businessmen and landlords, of course, it is far inferior, but this income is enough for a high-ranking official to straighten his waist and no longer rely on gray income to support himself.

The meaning of Sun Chuanting's words, Gong Dingyu understood when he heard it.

At the moment, he only said angrily: "His Royal Highness sent students here to help the old-timers, and the military needs are transferred, so it is more convenient for me to be here." To put it irreverently, although the old-timers are Taibao, the military quartermaster is still a student who understands better. Rather, it is said that it is to prevent corruption or something, and now the war is about war, and if there is anything to do, we will wait until the war is over. ”

Sun Chuanting's only worry is that Gong Dingyu has the old habits of Donglin, and likes to be preconceived in everything, thinking that everyone is evil. Now it seems that this junior of the Donglin Restoration Society was indeed trained by the prince, and he was pragmatic in every sentence, not only was he not domineering, but he was complacent about thinking that he was a close minister of the prince, and he was pointing fingers at military affairs. On the contrary, he is sincere and practical, and he will not jam his neck on the military needs, so that he feels that the chances of winning are a little bigger.

So he didn't say more, went hand in hand, drank tea and chatted, and when it was time to get up, he sent Gong Dingyu to the second hall again, and watched Gong Dingyu go out and stop.

"Taibao, how is this person?"

Gao Jie was promoted to General Pingyu this time, and he was really proud for a few days. In addition to rubbing and playing with his general's seal, he changed into a brand new armor to patrol around, and he didn't want to wear a military attaché's first-class robe, so he never wore it.

Originally, I was very proud, but a few days ago, I saw the third battalion of the Pingyu Army coming up, looking at the equipment and armor of the whole battalion, and seeing the clothes and clothes of Zhang Quanbin and others.

Since then, he has been sullen, and now General Pinglu does not ask for anything else, only to be able to fight a few beautiful battles, and then ask himself to be included in the Pinglu army.

In his life, he was brutal, greedy, and evil, and owed a lot of blood debts with both hands. To be honest, I feel scared now.

The Suizhou mutiny was Sun Chuanting's efforts to protect him, and later learned that the crown prince was giving Sun Chuanting autonomy, which could be killed or released, and Sun Chuanting was self-explanatory.

At this time, although he is grateful to Sun Chuanting for saving his life, Gao Jie is also very clear about the impression of the crown prince on himself.

If you don't change your course at this time, you will have a career and come out, and your end will be really bad.

is not allowed to be obedient, and he is unwilling to shave his braids and reduce his hair, so he can only honestly serve Daming.

"This person is a person who does things, don't worry."

Sun Chuanting also looked a little tired between his eyebrows, but he was still very pleased and said to Gao Jie: "In this war, if you can really defeat the enemy, the old man will remember your merits, and in the future, I will protect you as an earl!" ”

For generals like Gao Jie, the governor of Zuodu, the crown prince, and the general army of Zuo Zhuguo, all he wants is a title.

In the original time and space, he had been knighted along with the general soldiers of the Four Towns.

Then he despised the Ming Dynasty more and more, and said to Shi Kefa, who came to persuade him: "Will, do you know that there are people in the Emperor's Palace now!" ”

The arrogant attitude made the superintendent and auxiliary ministers who were worthy of the first rank speechless.

At this time, he honestly hung his hands in front of Sun Chuanting, looking like he was honestly listening.

Listening to Sun Chuanting's words, Gao Jie was overjoyed, and he couldn't hide his joy between his eyebrows.

In Daming, he can lead troops, fight wars, and is a civil official, and his qualifications are enough to speak, but this Sun Taibao is just one person.

The cabinet scholars and military ministers of the DPRK and China could not straighten their waists in front of Sun Chuanting.

The important thing is that the prince is the real support for the white-haired old man in front of him.

Sun Chuanting is not very old, and his current appearance is not the reason why he is too tired?

In Xuzhou and other places this year, Sun Chuanting was heartbroken, why did he come?

At the moment, Gao Jie can only go deep to the ground, Nuo Nuo is silent, as for the rest, there is nothing to say.

It's just that when he was about to leave, the general of the general still couldn't help asking: "Taibao, this time, Shandong will send at least five battalions, the last general's town is marked with three battalions, and the governor of Taibao has two battalions, plus three battalions of His Royal Highness the Prince, if it is a direct attack on Yanjing, I'm afraid it will not be impossible?" I heard that the strength of the Donglu in Yanjing is limited, the elite of the Eight Banners, half with Azig, half with Duoduo, and a small half in Shandong and Henan, the strength of the remaining division in Beijing is really limited. ”

Sun Chuanting also asked himself how many times, dreaming back at midnight, pushing the pillow up, wandering around the room, just thinking about whether he could make a contribution.

By surprise, go straight to Yanjing, Henan has troops to drag it out, Yanjing is a moment, Dongyu is cut off from food and military and political centers, and they have to be in chaos.

Even if I can retreat to the outside of the customs, I am afraid that my vitality will be greatly damaged.

But can things really go this way? The trip to the north is really too variable!
