Bi Yutong was not wearing an official uniform at this time, nor was he wearing a double-breasted Yu Ying officer's regular uniform, but a long robe, which was no different from the ordinary gentry dress, and the tone of his speech was also very plain, but the words he said made others sound full of murder. Watch the latest chapter of Perfect World, and look at it quickly.

This murderous aura is not owned by Bi Yutong himself, but by the Yongying of Yuyao County, which he represents!

After hearing Bi Yutong's words, Qu Shengchao felt angry again, and if you pay more attention, you can see that he has clenched the fist of his right hand.

However, he did not get angry, but took a few deep breaths and said: "After your army enters the city, we and the gentry and people of Huzhou will naturally sweep the couch to greet each other, and the follow-up barracks and military quarters will be sent in time, and please be considerate of the people in the city after your army enters the city!" In troubled times, it is not easy for the people! ”

Since the Yongying of Yuyao County insisted on entering the city, and Qu Shengchao had no ability to stop them, what Qu Shengchao expected now was that Lin Zhe would not plunder after entering the city.

Of course, Qu Shengchao had already made up his mind at this time, and when he went back, he would write an excerpt to impeach Lin Zhe, and if he didn't participate in Lin Zhe ruthlessly, it would be difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

Compassion for the people? Bi Yutong smiled in his heart when he heard this, how can he be compassionate to the law?

As the general office of the camp office of the Yuyao County Yongying, that is, the battalion officer, Bi Yutong knows more about the financial situation of the Yuyao County Yongying than Lin Zhe, and now the Yuyao County Yongying is facing the problem of restoring troops, expanding the army, and purchasing guns. Most of the heads have to be looted from the place.

Now every place in Yuyao County's Yongying is apportioned to large households, and it is inevitable that private checkpoints will collect taxes, otherwise you will let more than 1,000 soldiers in Yuyao County's Yongying drink the northwest wind.

Of course, the scene still has to be said, Bi Yutong guaranteed that after Yu Ying entered the city, he would never engage in any such thing as arson looting, but he also secretly revealed that Yu Ying is now short of military funds, and he also hopes that the Huzhou Government will give some assistance!

Qu Shengchao was silent when he heard this, and only said that he would try his best to borrow, but he didn't give any accurate words!

After the Yuyao County Yongying won the battle in Guangde, Huang Zonghan once again increased the military expenses of the Yuyao County Yong Battalion, and the military expenses of the Zhejiang Governor Yamen were increased from 1,000 taels per month to 2,000 taels, and at the same time the Huzhou Prefecture was required to pay 1,000 taels per month to the Yuyao County Yongying Battalion for defense assistance.

That's 3,000 taels a month, what is these 3,000 taels enough for?

Even the monthly expenses of an infantry regiment in the Yongying Battalion in Yuyao County are not enough!

At present, the current salary and consumption level of the Yongying camp in Yuyao County, when the Yongying camp in Yuyao County is full of about 1,800 people, the salaries of personnel, the consumption of mules and horses, and the consumption of training add up, which is about 13,000 taels of silver per month.

This figure does not include the cost of the war, and if there is a war, it will also need to pay for the loss of ammunition, weapons, food and grass, etc.

So don't look at the accounts of Yongying in Yuyao County, there are still more than 20,000 taels of silver on the account, but in fact, it is not even two months!

If Lin Zhe wants to expand the army, the amount of money needed will be even greater, the purchase of artillery, ammunition, guns, war horses, and the settling-in allowance issued by recruiting soldiers add up, if he wants to expand the army by a regiment, an artillery company, and a cavalry company, there will not even be a bubble if he throws out tens of thousands of taels of silver.

The expansion of the army is not only the initial investment, but also the follow-up maintenance costs.

According to the current establishment and salary level of the Yong Battalion in Yuyao County, if only the monthly personnel salary and the cost of mules and horses are calculated, the cost of maintaining an infantry regiment with a strength of about 550 men is about 3,200 taels of silver. The cost of maintaining an artillery company of six guns and more than 150 artillery pieces is about 1,400 taels of silver, and the cost of maintaining a cavalry company of about 200 cavalry is about 2,300 taels of silver. To maintain a four-company system, with a strength of about 400 men, with 150 horses and mules, and a baggage regiment of wagons, cost about 2,700 taels of silver per month.

The cost of building and maintaining a regular, modern army is far greater than most people think.

According to Lin Zhe's plan to replenish the troops and the subsequent expansion, the military budget gap of the Yongying camp in Yuyao County will exceed 50,000 taels in the next few months, and how to raise these military expenses is a very headache, after all, Lin Zhe cannot always pay out of his own pocket to expand the army and raise the army.

Others make money by running regiments and fighting wars, and after a few years of fighting, they are extremely valuable, so they can't come to Lin Zhe and become themselves.

Regardless of whether the Huzhou government is willing to take the initiative to help the Yuyao County Yongying raise military funds, but since the Yuyao County Yongying has arrived in Huzhou, it is inevitable that it will reach out to Huzhou.

Not to mention what Qu Shengchao thought in his heart, Bi Yutong went out of the city to tell Lin Zhe after talking to him in detail.

At the same time, the first corps of the Yuyao County Yongying began to enter the city, due to some hostile acts of the previous Huzhou capital, the Yuyao County Yongying did not dare to relax too much, and did not say that as soon as they entered the city gate, they directly entered the city, and the first step of the corps was very cautious only after controlling the city gate and the north city wall, it began to receive the second infantry regiment and artillery units into the city.

When Lin Zhe rode into the city gate on a tall horse accompanied by a group of generals, he saw Qu Shengchao and other officials in the city!

At this time, Lin Zhe and all the officers were wearing a new type of combat uniform, that is, the double-breasted dark blue military uniform, which looked peculiar in contemporary China and was obviously inclined to Westernization, which made Qu Shengchao and others shake their heads in their hearts, and even many people showed disdain.

I have long heard that the military uniform of this Yuyao County Yongying is strange, and today I saw that it was the same as the rumors, a foreign devil who was alive!

Lin Zhe is not an immortal, naturally he doesn't know what these officials and gentry in the city think, he rode forward, and even when he got in front of Qu Shengchao and others, he didn't get off the horse, so he looked at it condescendingly:

"Lord Laoqu has been waiting for a long time, Lin has just come to Huzhou, if there is anything wrong with his actions, I will forgive you!" Lin Zhe said that he asked Qu Shengchao and the others to forgive him, but he had an apologetic attitude like this.

However, the officials and gentry who came to greet him really couldn't say anything, just now this lord who dared to order the bombardment of the city, if he annoyed him, maybe he would do something.

Moreover, although Lin Zhe is a candidate for donation, he is a four-grade in any case, and in terms of grade, he is one level higher than Qu Shengchao, the prefect from the fourth grade, and other alternate Dao on weekdays is definitely not as strong as Lin Zhe, and when he sees Qu Shengchao, the prefect, he can only nod his head.

But Lin Zhe is not an ordinary alternate Taoist, he is the supervisor of the Yongying in Yuyao County, and he is the one who holds more than 1,000 troops to fight against the Taiping Army.

Therefore, although Lin Zhe's arrogant attitude made many people dissatisfied, no one dared to say anything openly.

Qu Shengchao, who was the leader, endured the disdain in his heart, and immediately said: "Lord Lin can come to our Huzhou to assist in defense, which is really a blessing for the people of Huzhou!" ”

Qu Shengchao never mentioned the conflict between the two sides, and Lin Zhe naturally didn't take the initiative to say anything, anyway, the city had already entered, so he didn't have much of the heart to deal with these local officials.

Therefore, after this short meeting between the two sides, Lin Zhe sent them away under the pretext of being busy with military affairs, and even Qu Shengchao said that the officials in the city would hold a banquet in Lanfang Mansion to catch him in the evening.

On the one hand, Lin Zhe didn't want to deal with these officials, and on the other hand, he himself knew that the siege just now scared these officials and gentry in the city a lot, and he estimated that he would become an arrogant soldier in their hearts, so naturally he was even less interested in drinking and eating with them.

Moreover, Lin Zhe is indeed busy now!

Now that the troops have just entered the city, there are many affairs, and he doesn't have much time to talk to these officials and gentry!

That night, the troops of the Yongying camp in Yuyao County mainly slept on the north city wall, near the city gate tower, and even Lin Zhe himself only spent one night in a house near the city gate.

The reason why he didn't enter the hinterland of the city to find a place to camp, or simply camped in the school field, on the one hand, Lin Zhe was not at ease with those Qing troops in the city, who knows if they would have a grudge against today's events, and then come to a sneak attack in the middle of the night and then disarm or something, although they are not afraid of these, but everything should be careful.

In addition, there were more than 1,000 Qing army green battalions and Eight Banners troops stationed on the school grounds, and Lin Zhe didn't want to run over to stay with these green battalion soldiers.

"The place where the follow-up troops are stationed is on the side of the North City Gate, I don't see many houses here, talk to the local prefecture and county, let them move these few people out, we will set up a big camp here!" Lin Zhe instructed Bi Yutong: "In addition, talk to them again, let them support some of the people for us to build barracks and build artillery positions!" ”

Lin Zhe said to Qi Xuanhao, the general office of the Quartermaster Bureau on the side: "Although our current military rations are sufficient, but your Quartermaster Bureau must also do a good job of purchasing military rations in case of emergency, and our sergeants have been fighting for many days, it is time for them to have a good meal, and immediately speed up the purchase of pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, and vegetables, I want to let my brothers eat and drink well these days!" ”

Qi Xuanhao, like many people in the Yongying Camp Department of Yuyao County, was born in the Lin firm, at the beginning, when Lin Zhe was preparing for the Yongying in Yuyao County, in order to quickly deal with the affairs of the camp, he transferred many people from his own firm to help him, and he originally just wanted to second, and when he recruited enough people, he would send them back.

But after a long time, most of these seconded stewards are mixed well, and some of them have even put on official robes, which makes them even more reluctant to go back.

Qi Xuanhao has always served as the general office of the Grain and Salary Bureau, and in the early days, the Grain and Salary Bureau was responsible for the distribution of salaries, military rations, clothing and other materials for the whole army, and was also in charge of the affairs of those long-term husbands and logistics and material transportation.

Although the power of the Food and Salary Bureau must have been weakened due to the establishment of a baggage regiment and the addition of the Quartermaster Bureau to be responsible for the transportation of all logistics materials in the later Yuyao County Yongying, Qi Xuanhao's power in the Yuyao County Yongying was still undiminished.

Among other things, the right to be responsible for the procurement of all kinds of munitions except weapons is sufficient.

Qi Xuanhao pondered for a moment before saying: "Our bureau has begun to purchase vegetables, vegetables and meat on the spot, but the quantity is not large, and I am afraid that the assistance of the local government is still needed for meat such as beef and sheep!" ”

In the past, the main source of meat for the Yongying camp in Yuyao County was actually the military supplies supplied by the local government, and it was quite difficult to purchase them by themselves, on the one hand, it was expensive, and on the other hand, it was difficult to buy enough meat to supply more than 1,000 people in a short time.

So at present, the soldiers of the Yongying camp in Yuyao County have no problem eating white rice noodles and bread, and they can basically be full, but it is more difficult to eat meat, and they can only eat it once every few days.

"Didn't they agree to supply us with a batch of military supplies? Look for them to go! Lin Zhe unceremoniously instructed his subordinates to go directly to the local government to ask for it.

After Lin Zhe finished speaking, he shifted the conversation away from these trivial matters and began to talk about troop training and replenishment.

"The previous battle in Si'an still exposed a lot of our problems, and now we have to solve these problems one by one!" After Lin Zhe said this, he immediately turned his attention to Shi Qingxuan, the assistant of the Supervision Department.

Immediately, Shi Qingxuan stood up and said: "Based on the previous combat experience, many colleagues in our supervision and training department have sorted out a series of targeted measures, which are detailed as follows...... xh118
