Chapter 127: The Huaikang Army Mutiny (1) Such soldiers
As soon as the voice came out, several people in the house except Lotte were shocked when they were neutral. Qi Qi set his eyes on Lotte, and there was a little more admiration in his expression, the information that this new boss had was even more timely than the investigation of the company's special responsibility for observing the dynamics in the army.
Liu Jinhua was the deputy of the Imperial City Division's personal servant in Caizhou, and hurriedly said to the man who came in: "Wu Erli, this is the new personal servant in Caizhou!" ”
"Subordinate Wu Erli, I have seen a personal servant!" Hearing this, Wu Erli hurriedly hugged his fists, while peeking at the young new boss in front of him, who was beyond his imagination.
"Now that this change is about to happen, Le Mou, like you, pin his head to the waistband of his trousers, either live together or die together!" Lotte waved his hand to signal Wu Erli not to be polite, and at the same time, his face was extremely solemn, and he said: "And I will explain the situation in the Huaikang military camp in Caizhou to you!" ”
Wu Erli didn't say anything, and the rest of the people all looked as a matter of course, but Lotte was stunned by thunder.
At this time, from top to bottom in the army, the commanders, supervisors, husbands, guards, generals, and deputies violated the law and favoritism, driving their subordinates to practice kitsch arts. Or to embroider and serve, or to weave and work, or to play for jewelry, or for painting and writing, openly occupied, sit and exempt from teaching, in name is in the formation of soldiers, as a result of not even lining up in the ranks, as a warrior, and do not know how to attack and defend.
These generals regarded their subordinates as servants, but the hateful thing was that they even withheld food, and the grain and grass officials and the state officials were even more complicit, and both sides took advantage of it, and sent the moldy old grain in the warehouse to the army as good grain, even if the good grain was mixed with sand and gravel.
As time goes by, how can these soldiers, who are called soldiers and are actually craftsmen, stand it, and it is unreasonable not to mutiny.
According to Lotian's understanding of the memories of his previous life, in the late Northern Song Dynasty, in addition to the strong combat power of the Western Army in the long-term war with the Western Xia, the Hebei Forbidden Army and the Central Plains Forbidden Army had no combat power at all.
The tiger wolf of the forbidden army of the Northern Song Dynasty, which once swept away the Ten Kingdoms, turned out to be embroidery, silk weaving, jewelry, and painting for the leaders at this time...... This Great Song Dynasty is not dead, so God will not tolerate it!
The key is that the officials are too badly paid, and the staff is less than half of the full staff, and half of them are also craftsmen. That is to say, Caizhou has a garrison of 10,000, and the full force is less than 5,000, and half of them are craftsmen, such an army can also mutiny, and it is no wonder that the Chazi of the Imperial City Division stationed in Caizhou can't believe it.
Lotte also heard that the Huaikang Army is still good like this, and in some military states, the empty salary is even more serious, and the personnel are only two to three percent of the full staff, and most of them are craftsmen, and there is no combat effectiveness.
After explaining the situation in the Huaikang army, Wu Erli arched his hand and said to Lotte: "The officials recruited their subordinates for the first time today, and their subordinates are late, and I hope the officials will not blame!" ”
"Investigate the military situation, you have also worked hard!" Lotte nodded, "Do you know when these soldiers plan to start an incident?" ”
"The subordinates only know that there are a few noisy soldiers who are colluding with each other at the moment, and at most, they are gathering people to make trouble in the past two days, wanting to improve the food!" Wu Erli replied, looking at Lotte, and there was some apprehension in his eyes: "In the past, there were soldiers who gathered to gather because of food, but they were dispersed by the military military officer who controlled military discipline. ”
The detective who served as a lieutenant in the Xiang army also said: "There is a tendency to gather people to make trouble, but it is unlikely that they will mutiny, disobedience, and rebellion. ”
Lotte was speechless again, no wonder ten years later, Jin Guoneng wiped out the Northern Song Dynasty with tens of thousands of horses, what is the difference between such an army and a group of sheep, when the cow and the horse can't even eat well, I can't stand it, at most I just get together and shout twice, and I don't even have the heart to rebel.
"Don't take it lightly, if something really happens, it's too late for you and me to regret it!" Lotte shook his head, so he made a solemn face, and ordered: "Wu Erli, you return to the barracks immediately, always pay attention to the affairs in the army, I will send Tong Si to meet you outside the barracks, any disturbance in the barracks, you must always teleport here, there must be no mistakes." ”
"Yes!"
Wu Erqi and Tong Si responded in unison, and the two of them didn't dare to slack off, so they went out to do things according to Lotte's instructions.
After that, Lotte waved his hand and asked a few of his subordinates to disperse and do their own work.
"I didn't expect that the world-famous Peach Blossom Langjun was actually the top boss of the concubine, and the concubine was overjoyed!" After a few of his subordinates retreated, Liu Jinhua, who used Cuiwei as a bustard as a cover, looked at Lotte and smiled.
Lotte smiled helplessly: "Now is not the time to laugh, if you want to ask Le for the first words for your daughter at home, first put the things in front of you to settle out, if it is done, it will naturally be as you wish!" ”
Liu Jinhua leaned around and said, "Then the concubine will thank Mr. first!" ”
Lotte instructed: "The news of the possible mutiny of the Huaikang soldiers, the flying pigeon transmission and the Imperial City Division of the capital to promote the officials, and the reasons why the Huaikang soldiers mutinied are also clearly written, so that all the court hears about it, so as not to kill innocent people when they get it!" ”
"Why are the officials sure that the Huaikang army will be able to mutiny?" Liu Jinhua still didn't believe the news, "If there is a discrepancy between the official's book and the matter, he will inevitably be reprimanded and punished by the promotion adult, and may even be demoted to a barren place!" ”
"Compared with the official family's foundation, what is Le's punishment, I am waiting to protect the official family of the Great Song Dynasty and Zhao, everything is prevented, it is a good thing that the soldiers have not mutinied, if there is a mutiny, isn't it our dereliction of duty?" Hearing Liu Jinhua's question, Lotte immediately became awe-inspiring.
Anyway, if something happens, the boss will stand up to it, and Liu Jinhua and other old oilers are also bent in their stomachs, and they praise him: "The official is also righteous!" ”
Lotte also instructed: "You should write the letter quickly, especially mark the time of writing, and pass the letter to the Imperial City Division quickly, don't fall behind the soldiers to make trouble, if that happens, you and I will have no credit!" Speaking of this, Le Zhi said: "Add a sentence to the secret letter, 'I heard the news from Zhang, the deputy envoy of the Caizhou regiment'. ”
You give me a credit, I naturally want to repay your personal favor, even if something goes wrong, there is someone to carry the black pot together, Lotte thought in his heart.
Liu Jinhua didn't dare to ask more, so she hurriedly picked up a pen and paper, wrote the news of the possible mutiny of the Huaikang Army on a note in the secret language unique to the Imperial City Division, and specially copied two copies in order to prevent accidents, tied them to the legs of several flying pigeons, and sent them to Bianliang, the capital division.
Leaving the Cuiwei Pavilion, Lotte came to the state office.
When the child was young, Menzi yawned and opened the side door and welcomed Lotte in.
Returning to the official residence where he lived, Lotte carried the package containing the official uniform seal letter granted by the Imperial City Division on his back and went straight to the back hall of Ye Zhizhou.
It was late at night, and the officials in the state government had already gone to sleep, and Lotte came to the back hall house where Ye Zhizhou lived, knocked on the door halfway, and the back hall door came out with sleepy eyes and a lantern to open the door.
Lotte said: "Tell the old man of Zhizhou that Le has something important to ask to see his old man!" ”
"Have something important to see my eldest master? My eldest man is resting, and he will come back tomorrow. That man naturally knew Lotte, looked at Lotte, and sneered: "But everyone who comes to see my master says that there is something important, what is the important thing for you as a little official?" ”
As the saying goes, the prime minister is a seven-rank official in front of the door, and this Lord Ye is the honor of a state, and the door is naturally very arrogant. Lotte endured his disgust, arched his hand and said, "Please report to the boss, Le really has something important to see!" ”
Seeing that Lotte was carrying a burden, the man thought that he was bribing Ye Zhizhou, moved his palm, and shook it in front of Lotte's eyes, "If there is some money in the door rules, I will also go to see the master for you, if the master is willing to see you, it will be easy to speak." ”
The mutiny of the Huaikang Army was urgent, how could Lotte delay half a point, seeing that this door was not big or small, he asked for money from him, relying on the current identity of the Imperial City Division's personal servant, he made a threat for the first time, dragged the door over, rounded his arm and slapped the door a few times.
Although Lotte is young, he plays by himself when he has nothing to do, and the muscles on his body are also strong and strong, and he slapped down a few times, only to hit the door and nose with blood, and the Venus in front of him is chaotic.
When the man came back to his senses after eating the pain, he yelled and scolded Li You. Hearing this scolding, the lights in Zhizhou's house immediately turned on, and several miscellaneous servants from the inner hall also rushed over, all of whom knew Lotte, only to see that the door was still shouting at Lotte, but these miscellaneous people knew that their status was humble and they didn't dare to come forward.
"Who dares to stir up trouble in front of the boss's door?" At this moment, an old man in his fifties walked out of the gate of the inner house and shouted to Lotte.
Lotte recognized this old man, this old man's surname was Zhuang, and he was a henchman brought by the housekeeper of Ye Zhizhou's mansion from his hometown, and reached out to take out the waist card representing his identity, handed it to the housekeeper of Nazhuang and said: "Take this to Ye Zhizhou to watch!" ”
At the moment, the matter is urgent, and Lotte can no longer hide its identity.
After taking the waist card, the housekeeper of the village did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked into the inner house where Ye Zhizhou lived, and after a while, he rushed back, and presented the waist card to Lotte with both hands, and said: "My lord asks Mr. to wait in the living room!" ”
Fang Cai, who was still pulling Lotte and shouting, was naturally not a stupid person, and when he heard the housekeeper speak like this, he immediately became cringe.
At the moment, the matter is important, Lotte has no time to take care of this door, so he took the waist card and went to the living room with the housekeeper Zhuang.
After waiting for a while, I saw that Ye Zhizhou walked to the living room in casual clothes at home, saw Lotte, and said with a wry smile: "The old man thought that Mr. Le would be sent by the side of the official, and he would get an official and a half-job for Mr. in the future, but I didn't expect Mr. to have a future, which is really gratifying, and to Ye's surprise, now Ye has to call Mr. Le a Le!" ”
Ye Zhizhou was even more helpless in his heart, he took a fancy to Lotte's ability to do things, and thought that he had recruited a staff cronie, but he didn't expect that Lotte was a person from the Imperial City Division, and he recruited a meticulous work to monitor him by his side, is there such a stupid thing in the world, and there was a bit of ridicule in his voice.
How could Lotte not hear the banter and helplessness in Ye Zhizhou's voice, Shi Li said: "The boss's heart, his subordinates have it!" ”
Ye Mengde thought that he had not done anything corrupt and bent the law, but he was not frightened, he sat on the chair by himself, and said indifferently: "Master Le, sit down, I don't know what happened to find Ye?" ”
This dynasty emphasizes literature over martial arts, and Lotte is now coming to see himself as a martial artist, Ye Mengde naturally puts on a clear and lofty appearance.
Hearing Ye Mengde's words teasing himself, and seeing that he looked naturally tall, Lotte couldn't help but say with a hint of ridicule in his voice: "The Huaikang Army mutiny is just around the corner, Master Ye is really leisurely!" ”
