Chapter 435: Zuo Liangyu
readx; Zuo Liangyu?
Zhu Youzhen silently recited this name several times in his heart, and always felt a little familiar, as if this person was also a famous figure in history. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 It's a pity that I'm racking my brains, and I can't remember what he did, and I don't even have an impression of whether it's good or bad.
When he was groaning, Zuo Liangyu said to him with a smile: "It seems that you are their leader?" What is your name? ”
"General Qiyu, the villain's name is You Jian, and we are all the same tun." Zhu Youzhen hurriedly said nonsense, "It's just because the villain's father is the village head, so they all listen to me." ”
"Good! This is why a man does not walk without a head, and a bird does not fly without a head. Zuo Liangyu said proudly, "General Ben is your head, as long as you follow General Ben, you will be able to eat and drink spicy food, you will have silver, and you will have women!" Come on, give each of them a set of armor first, don't wear tattered clothes and embarrass the general! ”
In a short time, the Chinese officer sent more than 20 sets of brand-new armor. Zhu Youzhen thought to himself, don't be in vain, there are no eyes on the battlefield, and it is better to have protection than no protection. So he thanked Zuo Liangyu and put it on with everyone.
As the saying goes, people rely on clothes, and now Zhu Youzhen and his party changed their shotguns, and they really looked majestic. Especially Qi Meifeng, Li Zhenyan, and the Red Lady are even more heroic. If they hadn't all been disguised and changed to a more mediocre face, they would have to shock the army at the head of the city.
"Good! is worthy of my Zuo Liangyu's soldiers, and it will be exciting to look at! Zuo Liangyu laughed at Zhu Youzhen and said, "You Jian, since you are their leader, this general will give you the position of a hundred households." In the future, don't be a villain, see this general and call himself the last general, and ordinary soldiers will call you a hundred households! In addition, your monthly salary is 100 taels! These men under your command also have twenty taels a month. How's that, General Ben is interesting enough, right? ”
Zhu Youzhen was surprised when he heard this, and secretly said that the treatment of his Qin soldiers was already very high, but ordinary soldiers were only ten taels of silver per month, and a hundred households were only twenty taels. As for ordinary officers and soldiers, they may not be able to get their hands on three taels of silver per month. Where did this Zuo Liangyu get so much silver, and he could give his soldiers such a high salary?
However, Zuo Liangyu's next words made Zhu Youzhen even more surprised: "Now go down to the city with General Ben, let others guard here!" ”
"Will... General, in case the first-class thief climbed the mountain again..."Zhu Youzhen did not continue, but the meaning was very clear: if he changed to someone else, he would still not be the opponent of the thief.
Zuo Liangyu glared at him and said: "The words of this general are the general's orders, who dares not to listen?" To tell you the truth, you people have real skills, and this general will reuse them in the future, which is why he has given you such good armor and so much silver. Do you think that a soldier has this treatment?
"It's too dangerous here, if you are dead or wounded, won't General Ben lose all his old money. As for the thieves, it doesn't matter what they do, anyway, they will not be able to enter the city at all. There are so many strong men in the city, let them block the arrows and pad their backs first. When the thieves have shot all their arrows, it will not be too late for you to go into battle. ”
Zhu Youzhen's scalp tingled for a while when he heard this, and he said in his heart that this Zuo Liangyu is really vicious! Dare to love him for treating his gang of people as his personal property, and completely ignoring the safety of the war situation and the life and death of the people!
While he was talking, a junior colonel came to report: "General, Governor Zhu is here." ”
Zuo Liangyu laughed when he heard the report: "This 'pig dot', I didn't dare to come when the fight was the most lively just now, and at this time the thief retreated, and he came to do it again!" Anyway, hurry up and be affectionate! ”
Not long after, the prefect Zhu Dadian hurriedly climbed the city tower. At this time, he didn't have the calm bearing that he had when he went to the banquet, but his face was full of anxiety, and there were a few holes in his crumpled official uniform, thinking that he had been shot through by a stray arrow.
Seeing Zhu Dadian ascending to the top of the city, Zuo Liangyu didn't dare to slack off, he hurriedly picked up his clothes and knelt down, and bowed and said: "The last general Luoyang guards Zuo Liangyu, see the prefect!" ”
Listening to him report to his home, Zhu Youzhen knew that Zuo Liangyu was now only a five-rank garrison, and he was not a high-ranking official among the generals. The Ming Dynasty also emphasized literature and light martial arts, for example, although the prefect was only the fifth grade, but Zuo Liangyu, who was also a five-grade general, saw him, and still had to be respectful, and the lower level paid homage to the superior's etiquette.
Zhu Dadian didn't have an official stand, and hurriedly picked up Zuo Liangyu and said, "General Zuo is exempt!" Since General Wang broke through the siege, Luoyang has relied on General Zuo to support the crisis alone, so that he can hold on to the present. I have just heard that you have repelled the attack of the thieves, and this is the first time in five days, and I am very pleased. Come on! ”
With his order, his servants immediately carried dozens of steaming large iron pots, and the meat in the pot was full of aroma, which made people's mouths water.
"These stews were made by the official who killed ten pigs," Zhu Dadian said with a smile on his face, "It was supposed to be a good wine, but the thieves would attack the city at any time, so they didn't send it for fear that the soldiers would drink and make mistakes." ”
It is said that Zhu Dadian is the highest governor in the city, and he personally sent food to the army, which is really not a small face. But Zuo Liangyu frowned, and said with a distressed expression: "Lord Prefect, the last general also knows that adults are in difficulty now, but is it too much to say that you can use such an idea to eat the labor army?" The last general had given the adults the day before yesterday, and asked the court to pay 50,000 taels of arrears first, so that the soldiers could fight. ”
As soon as Zhu Dadian heard Zuo Liangyu mention silver, he immediately turned into a bitter gourd face. He hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "General, be quiet, don't let the surrounding soldiers hear!" Didn't the official already allow the general, and the salary will be paid, but it will have to be graced for a few more days..."
"The last general is not for personal reasons, but just for the soldiers!" Zuo Liangyu immediately said, "My lord also saw it, just now after such a short time, hundreds of people died in battle." If they all die in battle, will they go to the underworld and wait for the silver? ”
These words were said extremely harshly, and Zhu Dadian's face suddenly turned pale. But he was not angry, and after a while, he sighed and said, "I want the horses to run, and I want the horses not to eat grass, there is no such reason in the world." The official also wants to pay the soldiers immediately, but it is difficult for the clever woman to cook without rice! Your department's salary and silver should have been directly allocated by the household department, but the household department's silver was allocated to Liaodong to build the city, and the officials and soldiers in other places were in arrears for six months, and this general didn't know it! ”
Zhu Youzhen listened carefully on the side, and his heart couldn't help sinking, secretly thinking that Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan's "Guanning Jin Defense Line" really began to show huge side effects! At present, the finances of the imperial court are stretched, and the few pieces of silver are all used to build the city, but the officials and soldiers in the interior can't even drink gruel, so it's strange that they are willing to work hard!
