Chapter 153 Jingzhou Army Salary Record

Zhuo Wenzheng hadn't left yet, and Koji Yanwu came again. The Governor of Jiangbei was dressed in court clothes today, stood at the foot of the hall and arched his hand: "Your Highness, the order asking Jingzhou to defend the north to suppress bandits has been issued. ”

Qin Lei got up and said, "Okay." He turned to Bo Xian Saiyang, who was standing on the side, and asked, "Is everything arranged there for the marshal?" ”

Bo Xian Saiyang arched his hand and said loudly: "I just received the news that Qin Youde, the commander of the eastern battalion of the infantry army, led the 20,000 infantry troops of the headquarters, and has reached the valley five miles to the north, and it can be launched at any time. The remaining three generals each took their headquarters, a total of 50,000 water infantry troops, and they had already marched north along the canal and could reach the area around Fancheng in Xiangyang within two days. ”

Qin Lei nodded, and smiled at the shocked Koji Yanwu, "Go, Lord Koji." Let's start the first gong for the big show. ”

Saying that, he got up and walked to the back hall, Bo Xianyang asked curiously, "Lord Wang, what are you going to do?" ”

"Take a shower, change your clothes, and get some more sleep......"

The Jiangbei Guard Army is divided into 12 guards, which are stationed in each state capital and are responsible for guarding one side. According to the establishment, there should be more than 30,000 people, but in reality there are less than 15,000. Jingzhou, as the capital of Jiangbei, should have a David of 10,000 people, but everyone knows that Jingzhou Wei counts the cooks and prostitutes, and the two legs can pant for breath are only in their early 5,000s.

Hu Luowen is the head of this guard, also known as the captain of Jingzhou. His family is a wealthy local family, and he borrowed money from all over the place a year ago, and scraped together 100,000 taels of silver to buy this shortage. He still clearly remembers that when his predecessor left office, gold and silver alone pulled eight carts. So at that time, he was full of confidence in his plan to recover the cost within three years and earn another 100,000 yuan within five years.

However, when he had just figured out how to fill the roster of the guard and figure out how much it was appropriate to take out to honor the officials, Hu Luowen was shocked to find that the salary that must be paid on the fifteenth day of each month began to lag a little, and the amount was getting smaller and smaller. Until three months ago, it was only half of the number.

This made Hu Luowen extremely annoyed and went to the General's Mansion to look for it, but Ma Guangtian, who received the gift at that time, had already patted his ass and left. The new General Gu confiscated his silver again, of course he wouldn't give him a good face, and scolded him back.

Hu Luowen, who knew that he was at a loss, could only endure it, and when he came back, he endured the pain and sent all the money, and he didn't make a single empty amount that month. Who knew that the more excessive was still to come, and in the past two months, the salary has simply stopped. When he went to General Gu again, he was not so hard, he hid if he could, hummed and perfunctory if he couldn't.

The old soldiers are gone, and you officials don't count the empty quotas, and now they have the idea of fighting our really big soldiers. Under Hu Luowen's intentional connivance, and even incitement, there was a big fuss about Wangjianglou.

At that time, Gu Pei promised to pay off the arrears within 10 days, and now it is the 10th day. Early in the morning, more than a dozen officers of Jingzhou Wei, large and small, gathered in Hu Luowen's tent and shouted noisily.

In fact, Hu Luowen called them to give an order to suppress bandits issued by the governor. As soon as the group of officers saw that it was not a paid paperwork, they blew up. A military cao shouted: "If you don't give you food, you still want to work? How can there be such a good thing in the world? Don't go, don't go! ”

Immediately, someone chimed in: "Yes, no, no, no!" ”

Some people even rolled up their sleeves and shouted: "If you don't pay today, you will go and tear down the general's mansion and sell it for money!" ”

"Not only the General's Mansion, but also the prince who is the guarantor, I heard that he lives in Qingcui Villa, and the things in it are always valuable, so let's go and move a few pieces out."

"Yes, just do it!"

For a while, Hu Luowen seemed to be in a bandit's den, and that group of subordinates also became the king of the mountain who was about to go out to rob. In it, he gradually had the feeling of gathering in the mountains and forests, killing people and goods, and shouted wildly in his heart, Lao Tzu still has 84,000 taels to recover the capital.

Thinking of this, he slapped the table and attracted the attention of his subordinates before he hissed: "If you don't give money today, we will go and get it ourselves!" ”

The subordinates looked at the captain who was usually full of money and only knew how to make money, and finally showed a little bit of courage, and couldn't help but howl in unison.

When the sun set in the west, the documents of the Governor's Palace came again. One of the leaders dodged the envelope from the herald's hand, and with trepidation, handed it to the only literate lieutenant in the room, who sat at the head of the school.

Hu Luowen took out the letter and looked at it carefully, but he didn't see a single word for money after repeating it several times. On the contrary, they were reprimanded very harshly for their delay.

Hu Luowen was already completely immersed in the pain of bankruptcy, where did he care about the governor's orders, slapped the letter on the table, and screamed: "Brothers, copy guys." Let's reason! ”

When his subordinates saw the captain's gloomy face, they knew that it was completely useless. Then they each shouted and scolded back, and gathered the equally angry soldiers to the school field, and without mobilization, they screamed and took up their knives and guns, rushed out of the camp, and ran in the direction of Qingchuan Lake with the captain.

The Jingzhou Wei camp was not too far from Qingcui Villa, and an hour later, this group of soldiers and bandits had already appeared in front of the open gate of the villa.

Hu Luowen discussed it a few times, after all, this is now the palace, and it is better to salute first and then soldier. So he asked his subordinates to wait outside first. With only seven or eight guards, they walked towards the gate with a loud voice.

Three zhang away from the gate, a young general in military uniform appeared majestically at the door, followed by two rows of guards running out from the left and right, blocking the main gate in the blink of an eye.

Hu Luowen was taken aback by this formation, and turned around to turn back, but he thought that there were thousands of brothers watching behind him, and he became angry again. Hu Luowen gave a thousand calls to the young general opposite, and said in a rough voice: "This little general, the last general Hu Luowen, is the leading captain of Jingzhou Wei. Today, on behalf of our 10,000 brothers in Jingzhouwei, I ask to see the prince. Please also ask the little general to give me a brief. ”

The young general was none other than Bo Xian Saiyang, he looked at a few people with a squint, and snorted coldly: "Wait." And he turned and went away.

Bo Xiang Saiyang came to the backyard under the grape trellises, where there were two deck chairs, one old and one young, each wearing loose civilian clothes, as if to enjoy the coolness. It's just that the old one looks restless, as if he is sitting on the stove, and he can't see that he is enjoying it at all. Look at the little one, but leaning comfortably on the chaise longue, and there is a beautiful girl with a mature charm beside him, and from time to time she sends a bright red strawberry to his mouth.

Seeing Bo Xian Saiyang coming, the old man immediately straightened up and asked eagerly, "Are they really here?" ”

Seeing the old man's panicked look, Bo Xiangsai said with disdain in his heart, this old guy has lived to be a dog, and what about the governor, why can't he stand it so much? Fortunately, Qin Lei was on the side, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he reluctantly saluted: "More than 5,000 people are outside the door, fully armed, and it looks like they want to step on the villa." ”

When the Governor of Koji heard this, his mood calmed down. sat down on the recliner again, and said to Qin Lei on the side: "Your Highness is clever, they are really here." ”

Seeing that the adults were going to talk about things, Ruolan, who was waiting for Qin Lei, got up and saluted and retired, Qin Lei secretly grabbed her little hand, blushed the girl, and fled away from the scene.

Looking at Ruolan's distant back, Qin Lei chuckled and said, "That letter is so ugly, I'm afraid they are going to hate Lord Koji to death." ”

Lu Yanwu laughed and said: "When the incident didn't happen, the lower officials were still worried in their hearts. But now, he is not afraid of anything. As he spoke, he picked up a strawberry from his plate and took a hard bite, as if he were biting the guards outside.

Qin Lei beckoned Bo Xianyang to sit down, pointed to the large plate of strawberries on the table, and said with a smile: "Eat some fruits and play tricks, and then go out in half an hour." ”

Bo Xianyang sat down according to his words, picked up a strawberry, and looked at it fixedly, but did not eat it. Qin Lei and Ko Yanwu looked at each other, not knowing what he was going to do. After a long while, Bo Xian Saiyang patted his head and showed a sudden look on his face. Only then did he happily nibble on the strawberry.

Qin Lei asked curiously, "Saiyang, what have you figured out?" ”

Bo Xian Saiyang swallowed the strawberry, looked at Qin Lei with a look of adoration, and said loudly: "The art of war is cloudy, and it will decline again in one go." It turns out that His Highness is using a tired strategy. ”

Qin Lei snorted and said, "That's true." And he turned his head and departed from him no more. In fact, Qin Lei just wanted to drag it out until Qin Youcai and they finished arranging, but he didn't expect anything like that.

After half an hour, Bo Xian Saiyang, who had eaten a belly of strawberries, appeared in front of Hu Luowen and the others.

Hu Luowen had been waiting impatiently, if it weren't for the attitude of the other people in the palace, they even pushed a few large buckets of sour plum soup out for the sergeants to drink. They must have rushed into the house. At this time, when he saw the young general coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What did the prince say?" ”

Bo Xianyang patted his stomach and said with a smile: "Let's go in." ”

When Hu Luowen and the others heard this, they wanted to go inside. But Changge, who was blocking the way, still did not withdraw. Hu Luowen said angrily: "Do you have to play tricks? ”

Bo Xian Saiyang said arrogantly: "Take off the weapon, I don't understand this rule." ”

Hu Luowen was anxious for a long time, and he didn't want to talk to this stunned young man. I thought to myself, there are so many troops outside Lao Tzu, I don't expect them to play any tricks, so let's solve it.

So they unsheathed their swords and handed them to the palace guards. That Changge was put away at this time, and a few people followed the stunned Qing into the palace angrily.

Walking all the way, the beautiful scenery of Qingcui Villa stunned a few people who had never seen the market, and they only felt that they were swimming in the painting after nine turns and eighteen times. As he walked, he followed into a dark hallway, and suddenly he couldn't see anything.

A military cao lamented: "How can there be such a black hole in the scenery? It's like a good beauty, but she has a big mole on her nose. ”

Hu Luowen is also a talented man in the Jingzhou army, and sneered when he heard this: "Lao He, don't you understand, this is called a winding path to a secluded path, and this section is a fairyland-like beauty, do you believe it?" ”

The person next to him understood, and suddenly said: "Just like that kiln sister, first blindfold your eyes and don't let you see, and when you open your eyes, my mother will come, big white sheep!" Immediately caused a wave of laughter, and it seemed that they all felt the same way.

A few people walked forward with excitement, but they couldn't find the exit, and then someone realized that something was wrong and shouted: "The stunned green is gone!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, a puff of smoke poured in, and when he smelled the pungent smell, several people felt groggy and fell to the ground in a short time.

Outside the corridor, Bo Xian Saiyang looked at the black curtain that had been hung temporarily, and asked with wide eyes, "Lord Wang, why don't these people know to break through the curtain and come out?" ”

Qin Lei smiled: "Maybe I'm afraid I can't afford to lose." Turning to the stone on the side, he said: "Write it down, the smell is too pungent, the effect is too poor, and it must be in a closed environment to play a role, it is recommended to purify." ”

Looking at the curious baby-like Bo Xiang Saiyang, Qin Lei smiled and said, "My subordinates studied some gadgets, and I only found an opportunity to experiment today, and the effect is not good." ”

Bo Xian Saiyang was dumbfounded and said, "It's not good to smell it?" ”

Qin Lei didn't want to talk to him too much, so he changed the topic and said, "Now you can close the gate and let the guards go up the wall, but you can't let people really come in." ”

Bo Xian Saiyang said unexpectedly: "Your Highness, don't you want to be exhausted in three ways?" ”

Qin Lei didn't react for a while, and Bo Xianyang explained: "All at once? ”

Qin Lei smiled and patted Bo Xian Saiyang's brain, and said with a wise face: "Soldiers are impermanent, don't die reading military books, you have to know the changes, understand?"

Bo Xiang Saiyang nodded solemnly and said, "I know, you are too powerful, Lord Wang." ”

Qin Lei lamented in his heart, who is playing whom?

The Jingzhou guard sergeants, who were sitting in the shade of the trees, suddenly found that the gate of Qingcui Villa had closed suddenly, and then hundreds of black-clothed people armed with crossbows appeared on the wall.

Even a fool knows that the captain who went in to negotiate was hacked, and he was about to get up in a mess, but it didn't matter if he was sitting, he felt a cramp in his abdomen when he got together. At first, it was one or two people, and then as if it was contagious, they all hugged their stomachs and screamed.

Only then did the officers who stayed behind know that the sour plum soup was added. In fact, they were also careful at that time, and let the little eunuch who delivered the water drink it first, seeing that this kid drank a big scoop, and he was fine for a long time. Only then can I rest assured and boldly take it, who knows that people put chronic laxatives, and they will not attack until this hour.

In the palace, Huang Zhao sat on the toilet since he came back from delivering the sour plum soup, waited for half an hour, and finally began to doubt whether the medicine was effective, and waited for a while, but there was still no movement. Only then did he mutter: "I have to tell the prince......" while lifting his pants and standing up......
