Qu Qingze suddenly rushed to Luoyang, and when he saw Su Tiancheng, his face was pale, obviously because he had seen something big.

The two have been together for a long time, Su Tiancheng has never seen Qu Qingze's reaction like this, to say that Qu Qingze's experience is richer than others, what kind of big thing should it be, so that Qu Qingze has such a fierce reaction.

This time, Su Tiancheng and Qu Qingze directly entered the secret room.

"My lord, the lower officials have found that Hongnongwei has signs of mutiny."

"What are you talking about, why would this be like this?"

Su Tiancheng couldn't help but stand up, he never imagined that Qu Qingze brought such news.

Hongnongwei has always been stationed in Shaanzhou, according to the regulations of the imperial court, the local government has no right to interfere in the affairs of the army of the guard, although Su Tiancheng is the prefect of Henan Prefecture, but without the authorization of the imperial court, it is not possible to directly command Hongnongwei, and the real ability to mobilize Hongnongwei is still the military department.

In today's situation, the person who can mobilize Hongnongwei is Sun Chengzong, who is the secretary of the military department and the military affairs of the five provinces.

After Su Tiancheng arrived in Henan Mansion, he paid attention to it, he never asked Hongnongwei anything, he also served as the commander of the Jiangning battalion guard, there were too many things to do, and he couldn't take care of Hongnongwei at all, besides, the combat effectiveness of the local guard, he was also clear, the officers were greedy for ink, and the backward Tuntian system greatly weakened the combat effectiveness of the sergeants.

As for Hongnongwei's military salary, it has always been the direct responsibility of the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with Henan Mansion and Shaanzhou.

"My lord, after the lower officials went to Shaanzhou to take office, they found an abnormality, Hong Nongwei had a very bad impression in Shaanzhou, and often harassed the people, especially in the area of Henan Prefecture. There are often rogue invasions, Hongnongwei is responsible for local security, and many sergeants take this opportunity to kill good people and even directly rob the people's money. Caused a large number of people to flee, after the lower official arrived in Shaanzhou, the four thousand soldiers of the Jiangning battalion followed and stationed in Shaanzhou, because the lower official noticed the people's livelihood, noticed the actions of the Hongnong Wei sergeant, and put forward a warning, the situation was better, and the lower official thought that everything was fine. Who knew that they had bred a lot of dissatisfaction and planned to rebel. ”

"Oh, do you have direct evidence?"

"Yes, after the lower officials learned the news, they used some means to let the two officers of Hongnongwei tell the truth."

"What did they say, what are they planning to rebel for?"

Qu Qingze's face. There was a strange look.

"Hmph, their reason for rebellion. It turned out that it was because of the Jiangning battalion that they knew the military salary of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, thinking that their military salary was too small to support their families. I can't rob money, and I can't live anymore, so I plan to rebel. Xia Guan didn't expect that the officers and sergeants of Hongnongwei would be so shameless. I don't want to defend my home, but I have to rely on robbery to get by. ”

Su Tiancheng stood up again and walked around the secret room.

At that time, there were opinions on the two battalions in Nanjing, but the treatment of the two battalions was still different from the guards in many places, and the treatment was relatively high, and Jiangning County gave more subsidies to the two battalions, which stabilized the sergeants of the two battalions. But when he arrived in Henan Mansion, Hongnongwei did not have such treatment.

Henan Mansion was originally a barren place, the situation of the guards here is not imaginable, it may really not be as good as a beggar, except for the officers who can be greedy for military salaries, life is better, ordinary sergeants, filling their stomachs is a luxury.

In such a situation, the situation of killing good people and robbing people's property can also be explained.

Qu Qingze arrived in Shaanzhou, and the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion also arrived in Shaanzhou, strictly speaking, Hongnongwei no longer has much effect, it is equivalent to decoration, in this case, the sergeants of Hongnongwei, especially the officers, must be dissatisfied.

Today's Henan Prefecture Tongzhi Zhang Pu once made an article in this regard, which almost caused a big incident, but fortunately, it was controlled in time and did not cause trouble.

According to Su Tiancheng's meaning, if you want to deal with such a thing, the best way is to dismiss the sergeants of Hongnongwei, but unfortunately this method does not work, the sergeants of Hongnongwei are all military households, and the household registration is directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and the government is not qualified to interfere.

In such a situation, Su Tiancheng did not expect it at all, it is said that Hongnongwei has official fields, and after planting these official fields, the matter of eating can still be solved.

The number of nongists in Hongnongwei is 5,600 people, and there are 5,000 households under its jurisdiction.

But in a place like Henan Mansion, Hongnongwei can maintain half of the sergeants, even if it is very good, I don't know how many sergeants have fled.

In any case, Hongnongwei cannot mutiny, let alone rebel, if such a problem arises, it will be a major blow to Henan Mansion, and the statements of some people in the imperial court will immediately come out, and the spearhead will definitely be pointed at Jiangning Ying and himself.

Su Tiancheng would never allow such a situation to occur.

"Lao Qu, you have done a good job, you can grasp the situation in advance, what is the specific situation of Hongnongwei, what preparations have you made."

"My lord, the lower officials have mastered the specific situation of Hongnongwei, the approved establishment of Hongnongwei is 5,600 people, and the actual strength is 3,100 people, including 500 cavalry, and the rest are foot soldiers. After the lower officials detected the news, they had already taken action, ordering the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion to be stationed in the camp of Hongnongwei, and controlled the guards of Hongnongwei, Qianhu and Deputy Qianhu, all the sergeants were monitored, and there was no order, and they were not allowed to act rashly, because the time was urgent, and the lower officials made such a decision, and they were forced to do so, and they asked the adults to punish them. ”

"What kind of punishment, you did a good job, if you can't control the situation early, and when something really happens, it's too late to say anything, then tell me what you plan to do next."

"The lower officials were a little hesitant, they were originally going to punish the first evil, all the officers with more than 1,000 households were sent to the capital to punish the crime, and the rest were dealt with lightly according to the specific situation, but if they did so, they would cause trouble."

Su Tiancheng shook his head, it was obviously inappropriate to deal with it like this.

No matter how effective Hongnongwei is, no matter how many sergeants there are, they are on the same level as the Jiangning battalion, and the Jiangning battalion is not qualified to deal with the mutiny of Hongnongwei.

"I think this matter will be handled by Lord Sun, who will be the governor of the five provinces in military affairs, and he will be able to think of a very good solution."

"How did the lower official forget, this is the best way to deal with it."

Su Tiancheng was silent for a moment and spoke again.

"Lao Qu, this matter reminds us, we have to think of a good way, the treatment of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion is not small from the rest of the guards, and it is easy to cause a lot of jealousy, when I was in Jiangning County before, with the support of Lord Fan and Gonggong Qin, we were able to calm down the turmoil in this regard, but now there is no such environment, if such things continue to occur, we will not be able to cope with it."

"The lower officials have also thought about such a problem, but they always feel that the military salary of the Jiangning battalion is not responsible for the imperial court, and it is all solved by itself, even if the salary of the soldiers is higher, the rest of the guards have nothing to say, the treatment of the guards is not the same, and the treatment of the pro-military camp is naturally stronger, besides, such a problem is not something that the Jiangning battalion can solve."

"What you said does make sense, but we can't say that, we still have to think of the best way, it seems that after the Jiangning battalion came to Henan Mansion, it was not able to fight, it was too comfortable, and some people had opinions."

Qu Qingze woke up.

"What my lord means, Hong Nongwei's mutiny this time may not be so simple."

"It's possible, but we don't have evidence, we can't guess at will, or just talk about the matter, my consideration, I implore Lord Sun to make a decision, the sergeants of Hongnongwei are all adjusted, follow Lord Sun to exterminate the Liukou, and the security matters of Henan Mansion will be handed over to the Jiangning Battalion to be responsible."

Controlling more than 3,000 people is not such a simple matter, these sergeants are not rogues, it is impossible to kill, and during the detention period, the daily consumption is also a lot.

Su Tiancheng immediately wrote a letter to Sun Chengzong.

Fortunately, Sun Chengzong was stationed in Hanzhong, Shaanxi, not far from Henan Mansion.

Five days later, Sun Chengzong personally rushed to Shaanzhou.

Su Tiancheng and Qu Qingze have been waiting in Shaanzhou for a long time.

After seeing Su Tiancheng, Sun Chengzong's expression was very serious, he listened carefully to the situation, and directly interrogated Hongnongwei's Wei Commander and several important organizers.

In less than a day, Sun Chengzong mastered all the situation.

"Master Su, this matter is very tricky, the transfer of the sergeant of Hongnongwei, this matter is not difficult, but the handling of the commander of the guard and the officer is not a simple matter, the old man sees, it is still necessary to report to the court, the matter of the sergeant, the old man can call the shots, he can deal with the affairs of the officers, and he can't make decisions easily."

"The lower officials also think so, how to deal with the officers of Hongnongwei, must be played to the emperor, but the lower officials think that such a thing should not be spread, so as not to cause fluctuations, if it is possible, directly report to the emperor, put forward the opinions to deal with, and implore the emperor to decree."

"There is no problem in doing this, the old man will operate, however, the Jiangning camp may be about to move, it will be the Spring Festival soon, the Liukou is starting to move, they have been in Shaanxi for a long time, thinking about the action, although the old man has made a lot of arrangements, but there is a lack of competent sergeants."

"The Jiangning camp obeys the dispatch of the adults." (To be continued......)
