Chapter 8: Gaining the Heart of the Army (I)
He Wanquan can rob the people's girls on the street, because some people in the Converted Garrison will follow his example and do some things to rob the people's girls and forcibly destroy the women.
Wu Ji hated this matter very much. Stealing chickens and touching dogs, Wu Ji can still tolerate it, that's because the soldiers can't open the pot, the old and the young, so they have to do it. However, Wu Ji will not tolerate the matter of forcible annihilation no matter what, he is really angry.
But how could a soldier believe that this was true? In the minds of the soldiers, there are many speculations, and some people think that this woman is good-looking, Wu Ji took a fancy to it, made a show, and planned to get this woman into action.
Where to think of it, Wu Ji said kill and kill, and with a wave of the knife, a human head rolled off.
"Ahh
An exclamation sounded, coming from the mouths of hundreds of soldiers, all of them in disbelief.
Just as the soldiers exclaimed, the knife in Wu Ji's hand slashed down again, and another human head rolled off.
After killing two people in a row, the only remaining soldier was already frightened and sifted through chaff, his teeth struck each other, and he made a terrible crashing sound, his face was pale, and he couldn't say a word.
"Commander Wu, spare your life!" As soon as the soldier's last words in this world were finished, a sword flashed, and his head rolled down, and his mouth kept opening and closing, as if he was about to scream, but there was no sound.
The three rolling heads, all with surprise and disbelief. They couldn't imagine that they could do whatever they liked in peacetime, and they even wanted his surname.
Wu Ji held the knife that was still dripping blood, facing the soldiers, his eyes were blazing, looking at the soldiers, all with a look of horror and shock on his face.
It was the first time in the history of the Converts that they had beheaded a soldier who had violated military discipline in public, and they did not believe anything. However, the facts are right in front of us, and I have to believe it.
A monstrous wave stirred up in their hearts, and the shock in their hearts had reached the point where it was difficult to regenerate.
"You can all see clearly, whoever dares to violate military discipline will end up with them!" Wu Ji's voice was raised high, and he spoke loudly, so that every soldier could hear it.
"Ahh
Hundreds of soldiers, only then came to their senses, looked at Wu Ji, looked at the knife in Wu Ji's hand that was still dripping blood, and they didn't dare to come out, so they could only look at each other, which meant that they were saying: This commander is a little different from the previous ones!
"Li Mingchu, are you sending your Hun family over, or are you going to let her be frozen?" Wu Ji turned his head, looked at Li Mingchu, who was pestle in the local area like a wooden stake, and asked loudly.
"Ahh Li Mingchu asked Wu Ji a drink, a spirit, his hand trembled, and he almost threw his Hun family to the ground, hurriedly hugged him, and ran away.
"Where is the master of the army?" Wu Ji glanced at Li Mingchu who ran away, he trembled with every step, and he was almost frightened.
"Commander Wu, the little one is here! The little ones are in! A thin soldier stepped forward and spoke cautiously.
"Do you know where He Wanquan's treasure is?" Wu Ji asked loudly.
As soon as Wu Ji's words fell, it immediately caused a lot of discussion among the soldiers.
"Sure enough, it's a dog official, and I'll inquire about the treasure as soon as I come!"
"Those who are officials can't see anything but money!"
Wu Ji listened to the soldiers' discussions, but ignored them, but stared at the main book. The master book hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Back to the command of Wu, the little one is not very clear." Perhaps, perhaps, in his house. ”
His tone was extremely uncertain, and Wu Ji didn't bother to pay attention to it, asking him to lead the way. The master didn't dare to disobey, and walked in the head, and Wu Ji followed.
A group of soldiers followed behind, with a look of disdain on their faces, and they couldn't help but crack the corners of their mouths, ready to see how Wu Ji swallowed the treasure.
He Wanquan's house is at the highest point of the barracks, which is very dry and dry, without a little dampness. Under the leadership of the master bookkeeper, Wu Ji came to the front of the house, took a short look, and saw that the house was very well repaired, a huge house, without a single hole, and there was not a single hole in the wall.
Compared to the barracks where the soldiers lived, this was much better. I don't know how the inside is arranged.
Pushing open the door and entering, Wu Ji couldn't help but be slightly startled, only to see that the room was very magnificently arranged, with mattresses on the ground, similar to modern carpets. The red color, bright and dazzling, gives people a sense of wealth.
The house is strict and solid, not even a trace of cool breeze can not penetrate, hang the curtain slowly, the color is bright, at a glance you know that the workmanship is good, very valuable things.
His family has everything he needs, and he has everything. Li Mingchu said that this is the imperial palace, although it is a bit exaggerated, but for soldiers who have lived in the slums for a long time, this is definitely the imperial palace.
"You ......" Li Mingchu was very surprised when he saw Wu Ji and them coming in.
"You're busy, we've got something to do." Wu Ji didn't allow him to finish, interrupted his words, and looked around.
Many soldiers followed, pointing and talking. He Wanquan's room, they have long been famous, how magnificent it is, but they have never seen it, and now they have just seen it, they are all curious, and they are very energetic.
"Ahh Li Mingchu, who was cleaning up the bed for the Hun family, suddenly screamed and threw an object out of the bed stick.
"Boom!" The thing slammed into the ground with a crisp sound.
Wu Ji looked back and saw a ruler-long copper rod rolling around on the ground. This copper rod is not a copper rod, it looks exactly like a man's root, it is actually a copper thing.
"Hee-hee!" A group of soldiers had knowing smiles on their faces, pointing and saying what men liked to hear.
"What woman can stand it for such a long time?"
"You are too ill-informed, where is this for the woman, and it is for He Wanquan's own sake."
"Haven't you heard? He Wanquan likes to kill his fat buttocks! ”
"No wonder his buttocks are so big, it's for killing!"
Wu Ji listened to the discussion of these soldiers, and was a little funny, they were too good at imagining. After some inspection, he didn't find the secret passage of the organ, so he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Who else does you know?" ”
Soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks. secretly said in his heart, if he knew where it was, he wouldn't rob He Wanquan while he was making trouble.
"Commander Wu, He Wanquan still has a courtyard in the city, you can go there and try it." A middle-aged soldier stood up, saluted Wu Ji, and spoke cautiously, with a look of flattery.
"What is your name?" How did you know? Wu Ji's eyes flashed.
"Commander Wu doesn't know anything, the little Shang Yuan is a soldier who returns to Yi, and he knows a little bit about why he is going back to Yi." Shang Yuan hurriedly replied, and his body bowed to ninety degrees.
"Back to the soldiers?" Each Song army had a certain number of Hui soldiers, specializing in trade and production, and most of the money they earned fell into the pockets of officers and generals: "Lead the way." ”
Shang Yuan responded and was busy leading the way in front. Wu Ji followed, and a group of soldiers determined to take a look, so they followed.
"Commander Wu, this matter can be postponed and the army can be rectified first." Huangfu Song hurriedly followed, reminding Wu Ji in a low voice.
"Lord Huangfu Song, look at them, they can't eat, the army's morale is unstable, how to rectify it? If you want to put things in order, you have to find He Wanquan's treasures, make up the military salaries, and let them have enough to eat. Wu Ji looked at the soldier with a vegetable on his face and sighed.
Where is this soldier, similar to a refugee. If Wu Ji hadn't seen it with his own eyes and said that he wouldn't believe anything, the army of the Song Dynasty would have been so rotten.
"What if you can't find it?" Huangfu Song bowed his head slightly and reminded Wu Ji.
"Then we have to find a way to get some silver so that they can eat enough. I really can't do it, so I'll go to Master Zheng and borrow some silver. Wu Ji sighed secretly in his heart, he never thought that the first thing he, the battalion commander, would do was to "help the refugees".
"That's all there is to it!" Huangfu Song was also helpless: "Lord Zheng is a good official, but he can't manage it here!" ”
The Song Dynasty implemented the separation of military and government, and Mrs. Zheng could not control the affairs of the army.
Fortunately, this time I really found He Wanquan's treasure. The amount is so large that Wu Ji's eyes are straight, nearly 50,000 taels of silver, which is a huge amount of money, I really don't know how many years He Wanquanke has deducted his military salary.
Wu Ji roughly estimated that the garrison's monthly salary was about 400 taels of silver, and a year was nearly 5,000 taels of silver, and there were nearly 50,000 taels of silver here, that is, He Wanquan deducted the military salary for nearly ten years.
It's talent!
It's so deductible!
Wu Ji looked at these treasures, a little dizzy, He Wanquan entered the wrong line, if he went to pick up the land, he would definitely make a fortune.
