The Ningyuan Garrison Mansion is on Weiyuan Street in Beicheng, adjacent to the General Military Mansion.

However, the ancestral general army is now in Quang Ninh, and the general soldier's palace is heavily guarded and the gate is closed.

The garrison is different, there are several tall horses tied to the tethered horse stake at the gate in front of the house, and each horse has a personal attendant in front of the horse.

A small sedan chair came out of the Yamen of Bingbei Road, and went all the way through the streets and alleys in the northeast direction, and slowly came to the front of the garrison mansion.

Li Dagang learned that the official sedan chair arrived in front of the garrison mansion, and greeted him with Mr. Ma Qian, Mr. Liu Qian and others.

Today, as soon as the new soldier arrived in Ningyuan, Master Zhang, he paid 30,000 taels of silver, of which 10,000 taels fell directly into Li Dagang's pocket.

This made Li Dagang laugh so much that he couldn't close his mouth!

There is only a five-grade garrison, and there are many guards in Liaodong, and drinking the blood of soldiers a year plus a little Tuntian industry is only three or four thousand taels of silver.

This mutiny earned 10,000 taels of silver on the first day, and there were follow-up ......

Li Dagang licked his shriveled lips, walked to the official sedan chair of tension, and bowed: "Master Zhang is polite." Please Lord Zhang move into the house, and all the generals in Ning Yuan are waiting to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Lord Zhang! The last general is guarding Ningyuan, so naturally he can't lose his courtesy! ‘

Zhang Zhang lifted the sedan curtain, walked down from the sedan chair with a smile, and said, "Li Shoubei is too polite. ‘

Li Shoubei glanced behind Zhang Li, and his face showed surprise, why didn't this Lord Zhang bring a single soldier?

Zhang Li glanced at Li Shoubei meaningfully, and said with a smile: "The dignified garrison mansion is naturally the safest place in Ningyuan City, and the soldiers who are making trouble have also taken the silver today. The officer believes that there is absolutely no problem with safety. I don't know if Li Shoubei thinks so? ‘

Li Shoubei is a rough man, as soon as he heard Zhang Li say this. He said, 'Yes, yes. Naturally, there is no problem with the safety of the Lord of the Soldiers......

The tension is no more. followed Li Shoubei into the mansion.

This garrison mansion is a courtyard with four entrances, and there is one more entrance than the military preparation road yamen.

However, it is obvious that the last two entrances are new, and they should have been rebuilt by buying the house next door.

Zhang Zhang didn't say much, only followed behind Li Shoubei and came all the way to the banquet hall.

This banquet parlor is not big, it is much worse than the banquet parlor of the officials in the Beijing Division, and the tables and chairs are obviously of lower grade, that is, the ordinary elm wood used and the like.

Even if the furniture of the Jingshi officials could not afford to use the finest rosewood, they were at least mahogany. Li Shoubei naturally can't be compared with the old man of Jingshi University.

Zhang Zhang frowned, and seemed a little dissatisfied.

Li Shoubei took the tension in his eyes, coughed dryly, and said loudly: "Lord Zhang, Ningyuan is a war zone, and the last general is a military general, and his family is poor, so he can't be compared with Jingzhong!" Shame shame shame! ‘

Zhang Zhang snorted lightly and frowned, "This official never sits on an elm chair...... Alas. Anyway, the so-called following the customs of the locals, the official can only reluctantly make it difficult. ‘

Mr. Ma Qian, Mr. Liu Qian and others were a little angry, thinking to themselves what kind of score did this official run to guard here?

Li Shoubei was determined. It turns out that this adult Zhang is a gentleman......

During the banquet, everyone had their own thoughts, but Zhang Zhang would say that the dish was not delicious, and that the wine was tasteless. The atmosphere at the banquet was a little depressing.

Li Shoubei accompanied him again and again, but in his heart he gradually let down his guard.

Tension sandwiched a piece of cooked beef. He sighed in his mouth: "Alas, this official heard that it is bitter cold outside the gate. Now I just hope to finish this errand as soon as possible......

Li Shoubei frowned: "Lord Zhang, aren't you a soldier?" It's going to be stationed in Ningyuan for a long time! ‘

Zhang Li pretended to be dissatisfied: 'Who wants to stay in this hellish place?' Your mutiny, the emperor wants Lord Shoufu to make an idea. Shoufu Zhou is such a person, how can he make his old man embarrassed? The officer volunteered to come, and as long as the soldiers were paid to you, the mutiny would be quelled. After this incident, the official will return to the court, how can there be any reason not to be promoted? ‘

As soon as Zhang Zhang said this, Li Shoubei and the others understood the details of Master Zhang, and couldn't help nodding again and again, looking like they suddenly realized.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhang Li successfully handed over his 'bottom line'.

Next, Zhang Zhang was about to knock on the side and listen to the situation of the chief soldier Zu Zepu, when suddenly there was a commotion outside the hall!

Zhang Li's face immediately showed a puzzled look, and he frowned and looked out of the hall.

Soon a lieutenant walked in from outside and saluted Li Garrison: "Lord Garrison, the soldiers in the battalion think that today's salary is too small, and there is a commotion!" ‘

Li Shoubei glanced at Zhang Li, intentionally or unintentionally, and exclaimed, "Oh? Is there such a thing? What's going on now?! ‘

Zhang Li's face showed a look of horror, as if he couldn't believe that there were still soldiers making trouble.

The lieutenant looked horrified: 'Now...... Now the garrison is surrounded! said that if you don't give money, you will be arrested! ‘

'Huh? - 'Zhang Zhang exclaimed, "Rich, rich!" ‘

Zhang Zhang sat down on the chair and muttered: "The silver is on the way, and there are still 30,000 yuan in the second batch!" Tomorrow we will be paid! However, the last batch of 200,000 taels is still on the way, and it will take a few more days to wait......

As soon as he heard that there were still 30,000 taels of silver tomorrow, Li Shoubei gave everyone present a look - Mr. Ma Qian, Mr. Liu Qian and others quietly gave a thumbs up!

Li Shoubei coughed dryly and said, "In that case, the general will go down and explain one or two to the rebels——"

After a pause, Li Shoubei glanced at Zhang Li, and said solemnly: "There is no joke in the army!" Master Zhang said that there are still 30,000 taels of silver tomorrow, but it can't be counted! ‘

'Count! Of course it counts! Tomorrow's campus will be ...... Salary - three ...... Ten thousand...... Two! ‘

Zhang Li seemed to be trembling with fright, and even his voice trembled a little.

The next day, in the campus of Ningyuan City University, Zhang Zhang really carried several large boxes, threw them into the school yard and hid back to the Yamen of Bingbei Road.

Since then, Zhang Zhang has been calling himself sick and hiding in the Yamen of Bingbei Road and not coming out.

Li Shoubei also knew that the last batch of silver had not arrived, and if Lord Zhang was 'coerced' by the soldiers again, it would be really a worrying fate!

Now that he has 60,000 taels of silver in his account, it is inconvenient for Li Shoubei to persecute the 'Fortune Boy' too much, if he is forced to die, the 200,000 taels of silver behind him will be lost.

After a few days, every day there was news that the military preparation road yamen went out to inquire about the soldiers' salaries. At first, Li Garrison came to ask for military salaries, but later saw that Master Zhang was more anxious than himself, and sent fast horses out of the city every day, so it was not easy to urge again......

The army of the Ming Dynasty relied on 'family ding' to fight, not on soldiers.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, military generals withheld food and salaries, and the soldiers had little combat effectiveness - but the battle always had to be fought.

So the generals raised a group of strong people with high salaries, and they usually practiced martial arts diligently, and when they arrived on the battlefield, these people were the absolute main force.

When there is a war, it is often the family that charges with cannon fodder.

If the family is defeated, then the cannon fodder will only have one choice left to flee for his life.

There was a gap in the combat effectiveness of the Ming army compared to the heavy infantry of Jiannu, so the Ming army almost never won a battle in the field.

Before he was on the way to Ningyuan City, Zhang Li thought about it, what he had to deal with was the garrison of Ningyuan City and those thousands of generals.

The autumn rain continued.

It rained for two days in a row, and on the third day it became heavier.

Everyone in Ningyuan City was a little depressed, and the soldiers were even worse. In these years, the soldier is almost synonymous with Hanako, who lacks food and clothing, and many people suffer from severe rheumatism. As soon as this kind of rainy weather is encountered, the combat effectiveness plummets.

The 200,000 taels of military salaries have finally arrived!

When Li Shoubei received the news, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground - excited, excited, and couldn't believe it!

What's even more shocking is that Master Zhang of the Soldier Preparation Dao actually said that the salary of the soldiers would be paid immediately!

Li Shoubei immediately ordered Mr. Ma Qian, Mr. Liu Qian, and others to take their families and rush to the big school.

This time is different, the soldier's salary is not tens of thousands of taels, but 200,000 taels!

It must not be seen by ordinary soldiers......

In the school field, Zhang Li wore a hat and stood on the north side of the platform.

Behind him stood Gao Yuanliang, while Xiao Ran and Pan Batian were standing under the stage.

There are more than 20 large boxes under the stage, and more than 100 guards next to the alley stand solemnly, even if the rain washes them, they will not move!

Zhang Li nodded slightly, he has only done one thing in the military preparation road yamen in the past few days - to rectify discipline!

These guards are all from the Sun Moon Pavilion, and their skills are good, but their discipline is much worse.

Zhang Li knows this, but now it is impossible for him to openly recruit or anything, and there is no time for training, and all kinds of conditions do not allow it.

When he was about to leave Beijing, Zhang Zhang asked Xu Jingping to compile all the family backgrounds of these 100 people into a book and take them with him......

Zhang Li does not believe in 'rule of man', only in 'rule of law'!

Don't talk about anything, never betray, if any one of these hundred people has a problem, his family will suffer.

Of course, the method of sitting together is not a good law, but Zhang Li has no time to establish his own lineage now, and the dangerous situation requires the absolute loyalty of these 100 people, so everyone can only suffer a little grievance.

Zhang Zhang glanced at the motionless Ran and Pan Batian, frowned, turned his head sideways and whispered to Gao Yuanliang: "Old Gao, Xiao Ran and Pan Batian have never experienced a battle formation, I can see that they are very nervous. You go down and lead the team, and I'll be enough for me here. ‘

Previously, when Gao Yuanliang knew Zhang Li's overall plan, his heart was also hanging all the time, and it was false to say that he was not nervous. It's just that Gao Yuanliang has been in battle for a long time and knows how to overcome nervousness.

This is much stronger than Xiao Ran and Pan Batian, and now Zhang Li said to let Gao Yuanliang go to the stage to lead the team, Gao Yuanliang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he whispered: "Young master, I'll change to come up." Young Master, you still need someone to guard you. ‘

Zhang Zhang shook his head: "No. Then his eyes looked at the entrance of the big school, and the footsteps of Deng Dengden came, and Li Shoubei finally brought someone here! (To be continued......)
