Chapter 220: Advice

Returning to the Criminal Division from Qihai County, Lu Sheng was in a bad mood. Not only Lu Sheng, but also a few people who accompanied him were holding back a fire. If he relied on such a soldier to protect his family and defend the country, Lu Sheng felt that the common people would still wipe their necks by themselves.

Sitting alone in the study, Lu Sheng picked up the dossier materials again and looked at them.

The coastal defense army has rotted to the roots, and this matter is not only discovered by Qiantang. As an envoy, Xing Yue would report to the imperial court almost every year that the military discipline of the coastal defense army was loose and he did not want to make progress.

According to common sense, the military department should have used the coastal defense army a long time ago. However, the military department seems to be very taboo about this area by the Yellow Sea, and finally simply treated it coldly.

No matter how many times Tongnan Province reported it, there was never any news. Could it be because of Beikanhou? Lu Sheng couldn't help but have this guess in his mind.

Thinking of this, Lu Sheng suddenly recalled that before he left, Shen Ling repeatedly warned himself that it was best not to care about the rest except for the mission. Especially about North Kanhou.

Beikanhou, this character is full of mysteries and contradictions.

A strong man with Dao realm cultivation, even decades ago, who was known as the first master of Dayu, turned out to be just a marquis?

Even, the imperial court seems to have deliberately refrigerated Beikanhou, and even Lu Sheng knows very little about him, let alone ordinary people. All Lu Sheng could contact was that Beikanhou returned to Tongnan Mansion twenty years ago, and there was no news from him since then.

It is impossible to stay at home, Duan Fei heard that Beikanhou still often goes out to visit friends, but he is low-key and rarely has contact with the people.

Now that the Japanese invaded the border, under the three successive performances of Qiantang, the military department reluctantly gave instructions and ordered Qiantang to start rectifying military discipline, but all the handling must be approved by the military department.

What does this mean? The dignified members of the four grades of the imperial court are not even allowed to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys in order to rectify military discipline? From this reply, Lu Sheng saw that it was full of perfunctory.

And apparently, this is not the normal style of the military department. Even if he didn't pay special attention to how the military department acted, Lu Sheng knew that the military department was notoriously fast, accurate and ruthless.

The Tongnan Mansion is a special case. If you want to change somewhere else, Jun Ji Cheng has been killed one after another long ago.

And it's not just the military department, but even the emperor's attitude is so unpredictable. The coastal defense army is overwhelmed, doesn't the emperor know it? Even if the emperor doesn't know, the king of Nanling, who is accompanying him, doesn't know either?

Apparently they knew, but even if they did, they were so conniving?

Even if it is connived, it is useless for the Japanese to invade the border and coastal defense army, but they do not transfer other places with combat effectiveness to take over? What does this mean? Could it be that Tongnan Mansion is a forbidden place for the imperial court's army?

Lu Sheng couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't figure it out.

Now that Qiantang is dead, this official letter to rectify military discipline has fallen into the hands of Lu Sheng. Looking at the rules and regulations on it, it seems to Lu Sheng that it is a joke.

Can't beat or scold the rectification of military discipline?

But the only good thing is that the military department allocated money this time. And it's a lot of money.

Originally, Lu Sheng learned from Chen Dongzi that the coastal defense army had not received military pay for five years because the officers had withheld it privately. After all, the generals of the coastal defense army with such military discipline should not be good birds.

But after consulting the file, I found that Chen Dongzi was not wrong, and the military department had never given a copper plate in the past five years.

This is also where Lu Sheng feels the most contradictory, since the coastal defense army cannot be provoked by scolding, this shows that the coastal defense army is the meat of the heart in the military department. But now, what does it mean to not pay for five years?

Lu Sheng looked at the money allocated, raised his head and rubbed his head, a little headache.

Judging from the fact that the coastal defense army has less than 3,000 troops, this is to make up all the military salaries owed for five years at one time? Even if it is made up, it will be more than enough.

The standing army of the imperial court is only 12 taels a year, and even if it is an elite army, the annual salary is only 20 taels.

Is this money really used to rectify military discipline? Lu Sheng instantly extinguished this idea. Judging from what I saw today, this group of goods is just mud that can't support the wall, and it is better to throw it into the sea for them.

Come to think of it, this money would not be a problem even if it was to train a new army.

It's just that Lu Sheng doesn't have the right to train the new army, let alone the sensitive place of Tongnan Mansion. But there are still workarounds, Lu Sheng is the head of the Criminal Investigation Department of Tongnan Prefecture, and the Criminal Investigation Department also has the responsibility of guarding the stability of the government.

This is a good reason for the Japanese to invade the territory, and it is feasible to recruit soldiers in the name of the Criminal Division. However, this group of people cannot be listed in the name of the Criminal Division......

It occurred to me that militia policy was a good way to go. In order to defend against the Japanese invaders, the Criminal Division took the lead in forming a militia. The militia is a citizen in peacetime and a soldier in wartime.

Now because of the turmoil of the Japanese Invaders, those people who live by going out to sea to fish have completely cut off their income, and they are now screaming anxiously, going to the Tongnan Mansion every once in a while, and asking for their lives.

If the militia is recruited to fight against the Japanese at this time, it is estimated that the group of idle and anxious people who jump their feet will become a flash flood and respond, right?

As for the instructors for training, it's even better. Duan Fei is here, so many Feiling Guards are here, and fifty Feiling Guards are instructors, are you afraid that you won't get formal training?

Thinking of this, Lu Sheng's thoughts suddenly became clear, and he hurriedly started his play, "Tongnan Mansion Criminal Division, to deal with the urgent training of the militia!"

With this stroke of writing, 10,000 words were sprinkled and written down like flowing water. Lu Sheng knew where the imperial court's taboo on Tongnan Mansion was, so Lu Sheng emphasized that the militia was not a military and did not need to be registered with the military department, but only with the government office.

The militia is not a standing army, but an army formed in response to emergencies and death, with only one purpose, to fight against the Japanese invaders. As long as the Japanese are pacified, the militia will be disbanded, and it will only be recorded in the government office.

If the imperial court needs this militia for emergency one day, it can also be summoned with the roster of the government office. And if they don't need to, then they will be a citizen for the rest of their lives.

The militia is paid on a monthly basis, with 1,000 to 1,500 wen a month, and if there is no convocation and no training in a certain month, then there is no need to pay military salary.

Lu Sheng put down his pen and read the song again from beginning to end, and indeed did not touch the sensitive content, so he knocked his official seal at the end.

"Someone—"

"My lord!" As soon as the words fell, the door of the study was pushed open, and it was Gai Ying who entered.

"Uh, you've been guarding the door?" Lu Sheng looked at the already bright sky, and it turned out that the night had passed unconsciously.

"Your Excellency has been working all night, and your humble is ready to be ......dispatched at any time," Gai Ying's tone was obviously unrealistic, and the calm of the previous group seemed to carry some suppressed emotions.

Lu Sheng, who had been busy all night, didn't realize it, yawned, and handed the thick note in his hand to Gai Ying, "You immediately help me hand over this note to Lord Xing, and make sure he submits it to Beijing as soon as possible." Before I knew it, the night had passed, so I'll go to sleep first, and then rest when you come back. ”

Gai Ying took the music in a deep manner, looking at the inch-thick stack, Gai Ying suddenly felt that this music was so heavy, "My lord, you are a good official!"

Suddenly, Gai Ying looked at the corner of Lu Sheng's eyes very sincerely and said.

"Oh?" Lu Sheng was a little surprised, what happened to this child?

"I think...... A functional office who refuses to sleep all night must be a good official. Those officials who are plain corpses, even if the people ask for him, he will not do anything. ”

"Hehehe...... That's how you sent me a good guy card? Okay, go and get back quickly. Lu Sheng smiled and waved his hand, Gai Ying hid the music on his chest, bowed again and turned to leave.

"Good official, should do your duty turned out to be a good official?" Lu Sheng shook his head, yawned and left the study and walked towards the bedroom.

At this moment, the sky has just dawned, and the fiery red sun hangs in the sky.

Gai Ying did not ride a horse, because he felt that the horse could not run as fast as him. Shaped like a big bird, it flickered and moved on the rolling eaves.

The rooster crows in the early morning, one after another.

The door of the envoy's mansion has just opened, and the housekeeper is holding a broom and planning to sweep the fallen leaves at the door.

Suddenly, a figure fell from the sky and startled the family. The house swished, and the broom was thrown aside, "What ...... something?"

When he saw Gai Ying clearly, his face instantly pulled the old man, "Who are you? Where did you come from? It's scary early in the morning?"

"I want to see the envoy!" Gai Ying pursed her lips and said in a cold voice.

"Who are you? Are you the envoy you can see as much as you want? Let's go...... Adults haven't gotten up yet. ”

Gai Ying wanted to draw his sword, but as soon as his hand reached the hilt of the sword, he suddenly realized that he was already a person from Xuantian Mansion and could not be impulsive. He took a deep breath and clenched his fists at the family, "I am mentioning the criminal division and the guard, and I ask to see the envoy at the behest of my family." ”

"Your lord, go, go!" said the family member with a shake of his hand, "In Tongnan Mansion, my family is the biggest, and you will return it...... The envoy hasn't gotten up yet, so I'll talk about it in an hour. Walk around ......."

How far is the envoy in front of him from his own adult? The envoy has been busy all night to complete the recital, and the envoy hasn't even gotten up at this time?

Gai Ying is very young, and it is the time when the fire is strong. Suddenly, a nameless fire rose, and in a flash, the figure flashed, and the person had already rushed past the family and rushed into the palace of the festival envoy.

"Someone—there's an assassin—"

A scream pierced the sky above the Envoy's Mansion.

Suddenly, there was an uproar in the envoy's mansion.

Gai Ying rushed into the inner courtyard of the envoy's mansion as if he had entered a no-man's land, and at this moment, the envoy Xing Yue was washing in the courtyard. Hearing the uproar outside, Xing Yue's face suddenly fell.

"What's the noise?"

"Master, no, there are assassins ......"

As soon as the man's voice landed, his voice was cut off like a rooster pinching his neck. Gai Ying's figure landed from the air.

"You're the Celebrity?"

Xing Yue looked Gai Ying up and down, "This official is, I don't know what the young man has to teach him." ”

Gai Ying took out the note from his arms, "This is a note written by the adults of my family overnight, and I order me to hand it over to the adults myself, and ask you to send it to the capital immediately." ”

"Your lord?" Xing Yue was about to get angry, he had never seen such an ignorant of etiquette, and dared to trespass into the festival envoy's mansion, but for a moment, Xing Yue seemed to realize something, and he paused and blurted out a scolding.

He seems to be the only one who can have this kind of high and high subordinates. Xing Yue looked at Gai Ying with a calm face, "Is it Lord Lu?"

"Yes!"

The anger in his heart disappeared in an instant, Lu Sheng was the inspector of Wuzhou, and from the rank of fourth-grade official, he was only half a level lower than him Xing Yue. But Lu Sheng is a celebrity in Nanling Palace, and it is when the sun is in full swing, where does Xing Yue dare to offend in the slightest?

In an instant, a kind smile appeared on his face, like a Santa Claus.
