Chapter 214: Don't Let This Official Down
After a stick of incense, the pikemen showed their decline.
Wang Teng felt that he was still unfinished, and the hard-fought fight was too rough, and there was nothing eye-catching.
However, the training of the Guangling Army has always pursued timeliness, except for queue training, all their training is to defeat the enemy.
Lu Xiangsheng is a person who has seen the world, and I don't know if this kind of martial arts can move him.
Lu Xiangsheng was naturally satisfied, he called Wang Teng to his side, "There is no need to compare, the bravery of the Guangling Army, this official is very satisfied, Wang Qianzong, are the soldiers under your command such fierce soldiers?" β
Wang Teng saluted, "My lord, there are four soldiers under the command of the last general, in addition to sword and shield soldiers and pikemen, there are also cavalry soldiers and musketeers, and the training intensity of everyone is the same."
Lu Xiangsheng slowly bowed his head, revealing a satisfied expression, "Today's martial arts performance, this official has opened his eyes, the small Guangling County also has such a strong army, it is really surprising, Wang Teng, don't hide it, bring all your horses out, let everyone see."
Wang Teng naturally agreed, and it didn't take long for Zhou Yuji's cavalry, Tong's firecracker, and Huang Hu's men and horses all to come to the school ground.
At a cursory glance, there were only four hundred.
Lu Xiangsheng remembered that the number of sergeants recorded in the Guangling book was 800, could it be that Wang Teng ate empty salary?
Xu saw Lu Xiangsheng's doubts, and Wang Teng explained to himself: "My lord, in the battle of Huyukou, the soldiers and horses under the command of the last general were damaged by thirty percent, and now the wounded and pawns have not healed, and the gap has not yet been filled."
Lu Xiangsheng came to his senses, and he realized that he almost blamed Wang Teng.
In the afternoon, it was the hottest time of the day, and Lu Xiangsheng felt unbearable heat before he was armoured, but under the scorching sun, the Guangling soldiers were as immobile as pine, and before they got the order, everyone stood still, even the sword and shield soldiers and pikemen who were suitable for martial arts.
Horizontally in rows, vertically in rows, no one whispers, head to ear.
The officials of the Governor's Mansion were shocked, Wang Teng had only been in the army for a year, how did he refine such soldiers and horses?
Lu Xiangsheng also has a Tianxiong army that can fight well, as a person who has come over, he deeply understands that it is not easy to become an army, "Wang Teng, you can tell me, how did you train such an elite?" β
Wang Teng clasped his hands into fists and said in his mouth: "My lord, although the last general is a martial artist, he has also read several military books, and this soldier is trained according to the military books."
It is not uncommon for military generals to be vassals and elegant, and it is not uncommon to buy a few military books to fill the faΓ§ade, but there are very few who can really practice according to the military books.
Lu Xiangsheng sighed, "In your opinion, how long does it take to train a combatable soldier?" β
Wang Tengzheng said: "My lord, if you have plenty of money and food, half a year is enough!" β
Can you train into a soldier in half a year?
The big and small officials looked at each other in shock, if they hadn't known that the Guangling Army had been in army for a short time, they would have already laughed and laughed.
The military preparation official didn't have too many ideas, he stepped forward and said expectantly: "Mr. Wang Qian, do you mean that a new soldier can become an army in half a year?" β
Wang Teng bowed slightly, "If the money and food are sufficient, the generals will be attentive, and after half a year of intensive training, it is not a problem for the new soldiers to go into battle and fight."
It's money and food again!
This is an unsolvable puzzle.
If the imperial court has abundant money and food, how can the displaced people be exhausted?
The military officer shook his head and said no more.
Lu Xiangsheng doesn't have the skill of turning stones into gold, the court doesn't give silver, and he doesn't have a very good way, "In recent years, it has become a practice to build slaves to knock and loot, Wang Teng, you have succeeded in killing three times and twice, I am afraid that they have hated you to the bone, if possible, this official hopes that you will train more and be prepared."
Wang Tengzheng has this plan, but to train the army, he needs a full amount of silver.
Although Wang Teng made a sum of money in Huyukou and extorted 80,000 taels from Lingqiu, it was better to cover it up in front of Lu Xiangsheng.
The crying child ate milk again, Wang Teng cried and was poor, "My lord, for the sake of these 800 soldiers, I have racked my brains for my humble duties, and even raised money to open an iron factory a few days ago, but I still can't make ends meet, please be enlightened."
According to reason, at this time, Fei Qing, the commander of Guangling County, should stand up and explain, who made Wang Teng's Guangling Army subordinate to Guangling.
According to the imperial court system, Wang Teng's soldiers should be provided with food and salary by Guangling County, and the insufficient part of the state capital should be supplemented, but due to well-known reasons, Fei Qing deducted food and salary twice and refused to pay it in full.
What kind of character Lu Xiangsheng is, he can see at a glance the dirty relationship between Wang Teng and Fei Qing, "Fei County Order, how much food and salary can Guangling County allot?" β
Fei Qing didn't expect Lu Xiangsheng to go straight to the topic, this was almost a slap in the face in public, and he had the heart to brush his sleeves away, but he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to say sullenly: "Supervisor, Guangling is poor, and he is already overwhelmed by the burden of supporting eight hundred soldiers, and he really can't afford to increase his salary."
Wang Teng didn't bother to refute, in fact, Fei Qing didn't even give the food and salary of 800 soldiers!
At this time, if you don't give up, you will inevitably appear narrow-minded, Wang Teng understands that with Lu Xiangsheng's ability, it is easy to find out who is right and who is wrong, rather than this, it is better to remain silent.
Wang Teng didn't say a word, but Wei Yuan couldn't bear it.
For a long time, Fei Qing has never taken Wei Yuan in his eyes, it is the many measures implemented by Wei Yuan, and Fei Qing has also tampered with it, which is a taboo in officialdom.
Wang Teng didn't say much, but Wei Yuan didn't have any scruples, "Last year, Guangling raided the salt merchants, arrested the illegal, and accumulated a lot of salt goods, Fei Xianzun didn't forget?" β
This guy knows the roots, Fei Qing hated it in his heart, so he had to lie, "My lord Mingjian, Jiannu Koubian, Guangling Village has many losses, the people have not much grain, and the treasury silver is used for disaster relief."
Wang Teng rolled his eyes, this guy dared to brag.
Disaster relief?
Wang Teng hadn't heard of the county government helping anyone in Guangling, but it was a pity that Wenwu was on the way, otherwise Wang Teng would have mocked Fei Qing fiercely.
Lu Xiangsheng just wanted to mention Fei Qing, and he didn't mean to be unforgiving, he was a Xuanda governor, if he couldn't pass a county order, he would only raise Fei Qing if it was passed out!
"Wei Tong's judgment, Fei County's order, if Wang Teng recruits new soldiers, the state and county have no salary available, you can report to the governor's mansion, and this official will find a way!"
Fei Qing was quite embarrassed, "The superintendent is serious, how can this matter bother the superintendent."
Wei Yuan was even more angry, "Supervisor, the humble position can guarantee that no matter how many soldiers Wang Teng recruits, the state government will supply them in sufficient quantities, and will never let the supervisor bother."
Lu Xiangsheng was noncommittal, "Wang Teng, did you hear that?" β
This is the meaning of Wang Teng's statement, Wang Teng naturally understands, "Your Excellency, you can rest assured, you will do your best to recruit new soldiers, if Jiannu dares to come, you will dare to kill them without leaving a piece of armor."
Lu Xiangsheng laughed: "There is no piece of armor left, the official has written it down, don't let the official down!" β
