Volume III] Chapter 71 Unexpected

Chapter 71 Unexpected

Now there are still two generals who have not made a stand, one is Liu Zhenyou and the other is Wen Tiecheng. Wu Sinan smiled and said, "You two are also one, Liu Zhenyou, you go first." ”

Liu Zhenyou has always been attached to Tian Xiu, but compared with Qin Nansong, it is obviously two treatments, and compared with Xu Guangda, it is not much better. Later, Wu Sinan gave him an errand in the north, and his mind was inclined to Wu Sinan's side, but just now Jin Liang showed the five major prison troops, and his strength was obviously overpowering Wu Sinan, so he involuntarily fell back to Tian Xiu's side. Now, Lord Wu asks to publicly state his position, which is embarrassing, the first three, two to Tian Xiu's side, and one to Wu Sinan's side, who should he choose?

Although it was himself who went to the city to take people before, it didn't matter, but he was just acting on orders, this time he was real, he made the wrong choice, he lost his official position and was dismissed, and he didn't have to put his head on it. After hesitating again and again, he finally had the same idea as Liao Fei, when he went to Wu Sinan's side, if he was defeated, he would definitely die, and on Tian Xiu's side, if he was defeated, he would lose his official position at most. To be on the safe side, it's important to save your life.

"Back to Dashuai...... Fifteen thousand men in the city......"

Liu Zhenyou made his own choice. Tian Xiu smiled, Wu Sinan was also calm, and didn't say anything more, just said to Wen Tiecheng: "General Wen, it's your turn?" ”

"Back to Dashuai, before the Tartars attacked, my defenders in Zhangjiakou only had more than 7,000 people. It's like the ministry, it's 3,000 people, but in fact it's only 1,000, and the extra 2,000 are just a roster. The monthly allowance is only 40 percent of the actual amount, and if you don't believe it, you can go to the officers and soldiers of the various departments to inquire. We are waiting for the generals, but we can get some, every month General Tian will send us an extra fifty taels of silver, of course, whether this number is the same, the last general is not clear, anyway, to the last general to send this number. Wen Tiecheng did not hesitate at all, not only made his position clear, but also truthfully explained the situation here.

In Tian Xiu's heart, Xu Guangda and Liu Zhenyou were very likely to betray themselves and go to Wu Sinan's side, but he never expected that Liu Zhenyou would finally come to his side, and Wen Tiecheng, who should be on his side, went to Wu Sinan's side.

Wu Sinan didn't expect this kind of change, he was surprised that you looked at Wen Tiecheng, and measured it for a long time before turning his head to Tian Xiu and saying: "General Tian, do you have anything else to say, now there are two generals who are correcting you for eating empty quotas and deducting military salaries, and the ministry advises you to come truthfully, otherwise, the ministry will immediately pass on the officers and soldiers here to the court, and it will be clear when the time comes." ”

"Who knows what the two of them think, General Liao has already proved that the last general did not eat empty quotas and deduct military salaries, if the marshal doesn't believe it, he can investigate casually." Now that the showdown is over, Tian Xiu has nothing to worry about, if you are willing to check, then check.

"Wu Ping!" Wu Sinan said loudly.

"The subordinates are here." Wu Ping came out immediately.

"Go outside and find some officers and soldiers to come in, the ministry has something to ask." Wu Sinan commanded.

"Yes, my subordinates will go."

Wu Ping was ordered out of the second hall, and then in the second hall, it became silent, and these people had their own thoughts, either looking at each other, guessing what others thought, or calculating alone in their hearts.

The most puzzling thing is that Wen Tiecheng has become. Among the generals in the hall, Qin Nansong is Tian Xiu's hardcore, and it is not surprising that he can directly choose Tian Xiu's side. The remaining generals, before making a choice, all went through a long period of deliberation before finally expressing their attitude. But this Wen Tiecheng, when he was in Zhangjiakou, he had always been attached to Tian Xiu and tended to be inflammatory, but today, why did he choose to be the opposite of Tian Xiu. The current strength and weakness are actually very obvious, don't Wu Sinan is the governor, he is the biggest in this courtyard, but this case involves a lot of money, the five unnamed prison masters, behind the Jin merchants, there are other big officials, you Wu Sinan is single-handed, but he is just a district governor, what is it. There is also the governor of Xuanda here, and the big guy of Jingshi, any person can crush you Wu Sinan to death.

You Wen Tiecheng has always tended to be inflammatory, how could you suddenly come to the side of justice this time, it is really unimaginable.

After waiting like this for a while, Wu Ping walked into the hall from outside, "Lord Qiyu, my subordinates have already brought the officers and soldiers from Zhangjiakou. ”

"Pass them to church." Wu Sinan Road.

"Yes!" Wu Ping turned around and shouted loudly outside, "Come in, your lord has called you to the court." ”

The voice settled, and soon more than thirty soldiers came to the hall. Walking in the front was Chen Chong, and when he arrived at the hall, these people knelt on the ground together, saluted Wu Sinan and the generals, Wu Sinan called them up, and then asked: "What are your names, what are your names, what are your functions, and whose subordinates are they?" ”

"His name is Chen Chong, a general in Zhangjiakou, and he is subordinate to the guerrilla general Qin Nansong." "His name is Yin Xuan, a general in Zhangjiakou, and he is also subordinate to the guerrilla general Qin Nansong." "His name is Sun Qiliu, an ordinary soldier, who belongs to the guerrilla general Qin Nansongbu." ……

These people reported their names one by one, and they were all Qin Nansong's subordinates. Because Chen Chong is the general manager of Qin Nansong's subordinates, and that Yin Xuan is Chen Chong's buddy, he was found by Chen Chong to testify together. These soldiers are also his subordinates.

After everyone signed up, Sinan nodded, and said to Qin Nansong: "General Qin, these people are all your subordinates, their words, they should be accurate." ”

As a general, "this ......" can't know all the soldiers under him, but how can he not know the sum of the thousands of points under him. Chen Zhong and Yin Xuan are both generals, and Qin Nansong naturally recognizes them. After thinking for a moment, Qin Nansong coughed and said, "The two of them are my commanders, Chen Chong, Yin Xuan, and the governor wants to ask you, you have to answer truthfully." ”

"Obey the mark."

"That's the most." Wu Sinan immediately asked: "The ministry is now asking you two, before the Tartars attacked Zhangjiakou, how many soldiers and horses did you have here?" ”

"If you go back to your lordship, the total number is not certain, but it is estimated that there will be seven or eight thousand people." Chen Zhong took the lead.

"That's what it looks like." Yin Xuan also followed: "Like our side, there should be 3,000 people under General Qin, and the following three thousand generals, each of whom is in charge of 1,000 people, but in fact, there are only 500 people under the command of each thousand generals." Further down, it's the same, each is in charge of 100 people, but we, the generals, are only in charge of 50 people, and the number of soldiers and horses is obviously less than half. ”

After the two answered, Qin Nansong's head immediately broke out in cold sweat, and he turned his head to Tian Xiu. Tian Xiu was also nervous in his heart, but now at this time, Hengzhu is also like this, and those Jin merchants are also involved, whether they die or not, they will definitely be rescued. With this thought, Tian Xiu seemed to be a little relieved.

"Then how much can you pay each month?" Wu Sinan asked again.

"Those of us who do the total can get eighty percent of the real number every month, and the soldiers below can also get forty percent." Chen Chongdao.

"That's true, General Qin, I don't know how much they can get, but the soldiers can also get forty percent, those of us who should get eighty percent of the total, and then the thousand total, we can get full salary." Yin Xuan followed.

"Dashuai, they're right, those of us who are soldiers can get forty percent of our food and salary every month, and even eating is a problem, and I hope Dashuai will call the shots for us." When the two generals took the lead, the soldiers below also shouted.

"Hu Badao, which month do you not get a full salary?" Seeing that the people below were telling the truth, Qin Nansong was angry and scolded loudly.

", you still dare us to talk nonsense, you pat your conscience, how much food do the brothers get every month!" These big-headed soldiers, when they saw the governor questioning, who didn't know that the governor was the biggest, and they didn't know the secret, so at this time, they were not afraid. scolded Qin Nansong one by one. "Don't you know how much the brothers get a month? You guys who drink the blood of soldiers, where did you dare to admit it now when you flaunted your might and withheld your brothers' salaries! it, believe it or not, I'm going to hack you now! ”

There were more than 30 people in the hall, and when they saw Qin Nansong talking nonsense with his eyes open, they were all angry.

Qin Nansong knew that he was wrong, and when he saw the soldiers shouting and screaming, he didn't dare to talk back. Wu Sinan deliberately asked in his eyes: "General Qin, are the soldiers under your command lying?" ”

"This ......"

For a while, Qin Nansong didn't know how to answer, because he had already seen that those soldiers were staring at him. In that posture, if you dare to talk nonsense, these people can rush up and find yourself desperate.

“！ What did the governor ask you? Why don't you dare! If you dare to talk nonsense, grandpa won't go over and hack you! Seeing that Qin Nansong couldn't let out a fart for a long time, the soldier shouted loudly.

“！” "You're fast!" …… Seeing that there was a leader, the other soldiers were not polite, and shouted one after another.

Under such circumstances, Qin Nansong was not allowed to deny it, so he only nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"What is it?" Wu Sinan hurriedly asked.

"Yes...... Withheld...... The soldiers' salaries ......," Qin Nansong gritted his teeth.

"General Tian, Qin Nansong has recognized it now, what about you?" Wu Sinan asked coldly.

"Humph!" Seeing that Qin Nansong was under pressure and had no choice but to admit it, Tian Xiu snorted coldly and said, "It's a deduction, what can I do?" When the military salary was issued, the body was not fully paid, and at the general soldier's place, two percent had already been deducted, and when it came to the general, it was only eighty percent. If you don't do it alone, what will you be afraid of? Moreover, can these military salaries be swallowed by one person, will Master Cui, the governor of Xuanda, be able to lose filial piety! ”

Since the skin has been torn, let's come openly. In the end, will you die or will I live?
