Chapter 499: This is the danger of a soldier's duty
readx;
A large amount of silver is placed in Tianjin Wei to earn profits, and there will always be a worry in my heart, and I am relieved to hear that Wang Tong will also invest one million taels here. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Wang Tong can withdraw the money at any time in Tianjin Wei, it is always a guarantee, everyone pays the money together, and he has more money on his side than on my side, presumably he is more reluctant to accompany the money, people are always used to thinking like this.
However, what Wang Tong values most is the sentence "If Brother Wang needs anything in Beijing, just ask," so much money is on his side, and there is this seemingly polite promise, which actually shows that in Beijing, or at least these families who have invested in silver, are on their side.
Since Wang Tong stepped into the officialdom, the most helpless thing is to be isolated, although his backer is today, but the Son of Heaven still needs him as an Olympic aid, and there are really not many people who can help each other.
When there is any turmoil against themselves in the imperial court, it is often a one-sided situation, and few people speak for themselves, and now Chen Sibao and the others will at least remain silent, even if they want to stand in line, they must also think about the huge amount of silver they put in Tianjin Wei.
The mutton is crispy, the wine and the food are delicious, and the noon of this day is a happy dispersion, Chen Sibao and a few of them also know that Wang Tong is busy, so after picking the horses, they thanked them and said goodbye.
The silver taels have already arrived in Tianjin Wei, and there are twelve bookkeepers and stewards who came with this money, and #14oo those nobles have taken out the silver, and they will also send people to keep an eye on it.
Wang Tong welcomes this, although Sanjiang Qianzhuang is newly built, but it is not inferior to the insurance bank of important institutions, but now there are not too many skilled and available manpower, the other party sent people, just to make up for the shortcomings, as for whether it is obedient, Wang Tong has more capital, just to speak Tiansheng.
Wang Tong said that he couldn't drink alcohol while he was on important things, but Chen Sibao and others were entangled and messed around, and they also drank half a bowl, and they all left, and Wang Tong closed his eyes and recuperated slightly on the side of the horse farm.
Seeing people leaving, but Ma Sanbiao came over, Wang Tong opened his eyes and asked:
"How many cavalrymen do you have at your disposal now?"
"If you go back to your lordship, if you count everywhere, you can almost make up four hundred horses."
In the security army, and even among the people on the bow of the boat, there are quite a few young people who know how to equestrian, and these people can be recruited if necessary, so they are naturally counted among them.
"The matter that asked you to go to the camps to investigate should come out today, right?"
"Those who can make money on horses are now in the horse team, and the two regiments can sit on the horses without falling off about five hundred and twenty people.
Hearing Ma Sanbiao's report, Wang Tong shook his head, but this is also helpless, in addition to horse breeders, ordinary people can ride horses, but Ma Sanbiao said:
"My lord, when I led people to check the matter of horseback riding yesterday, I chatted with Chihei over there, he said that adults need good riders, there are some on the grassland, from Xuanfu to Jizhen, there are many broken settlements that can't stay on the grassland, and they can graze and farm for a living in the Seinai Pass, and the adults can go to recruit."
Wang Tong nodded, and after a while, he said:
"This is also a method, but it will only be done next year, three standards, and you can't celebrate the New Year in Tianjin Wei this year, can you stand it?"
"If you talk about adults, what you eat is the food on the knife's edge, and it's a trivial matter if you don't celebrate the New Year."
Speaking of this, Ma Sanbiao scratched his head, and continued with a smile:
"My mother-in-law is really not very happy, and there is no way to do this."
…………
I went out early in the morning and came back from a walk around the racecourse, but it was almost dark, and people had already started to hang lanterns on the streets of Tianjin Wei.
Back at the door of the mansion, Wang Tong saw that Xu Guangguo was still kneeling there, and when he saw Wang Tong and his party coming, he kowtowed down again, and Wang Tong ignored it and rode directly into the door.
The gate behind him was closed, and the guards who stayed behind came up to lead the horse, and Wang Tong dismounted and asked:
"Did the man outside kneel for three days?"
"If you go back to your adult, you have indeed knelt for a day and have not moved."
Wang Tong nodded, walked towards the main hall, and when he reached the steps, he turned back and said:
"Tomorrow when the sun rises, he will still kneel outside, so bring me in!"
The dismount was quite far from the door, and the people outside the door couldn't hear it, so the soldiers hurriedly bowed down and agreed.
Walking into the inner hall, a cadre of generals and stewards were all staring here, and when they saw Wang Tong coming in, they all got up accordingly.
Wang Tong glanced around, but saw Li Hutou's excited look on his face, as if he had encountered some happy event, and couldn't help but smile and ask:
"Tiger Head is so happy, what happy thing has happened?"
Li Hutou wanted to open his mouth excitedly, but after thinking about it, he didn't know how to say it, or Ma Sanbiao on the side said:
"My master came this time, because the tiger head is now also the head of the regiment, and the actual position of the head of the thousand is higher than his position in the brocade clothes and hundreds of households, and he praised the tiger head for a few words, but he did not have him."
The master that Ma Sanbiao said in his mouth is Li Wenyuan, Li Wenyuan's strict requirements for Li Hutou, and he has to reprimand him before meeting each time, but this time Li Hutou commanded 1,500 soldiers and horses, and it was also the emperor's decree to give officials, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the glory of the ancestors.
Li Wenyuan didn't train, it was the first time for Li Hutou, and he praised two sentences, this affirmation made Li Hutou even more excited.
Hearing Ma Sanbiao's statement, everyone laughed good-naturedly, and Li Tao and Sun Xin even slapped Li Hu's head on the back
Next, after laughing, when Wang Tong spoke, Yang Sichen on the side said about Sanjiang Qianzhuang, Yang Sichen hurriedly took a piece of paper and wrote it down, and tomorrow he will let the people from the insurance bank and Sanjiang Commercial Bank handle it.
"The meaning of the military department, this time let us go out of the Gubeikou of the Miyun Guard in the north of the Beijing Division, and go through Tongzhou to take the Shunyi and Huairou lines, where we are not familiar with the place, and it is inconvenient to obtain supplies, so we will send fast horses to Xuanfu tomorrow, and let the Sanjiang Commercial Bank over there go over first to buy and hoard materials for the army."
Everyone sat down, Wang Tong opened his mouth and said, Cai Nan nodded hurriedly, wrote a few strokes on the scroll, and the deputy Li Tao of the second regiment groaned, stood up and reported:
"My lord, my father has a good acquaintance relationship with the Miyun guard in Yanqing Prefecture, how about the preparation of military supplies, why don't your subordinates write a letter home and let the family help manage it?"
Everyone looked at Li Tao, but they all nodded, Li Yun came to Xuanfu, the deputy general, it will definitely be much easier to prepare military supplies and grass than this Sanjiang Commercial Bank, Li Tao can write this letter, it is naturally convenient for everyone.
Unexpectedly, Wang Tong shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"Li Tao, you have good intentions, but we are a forbidden army, don't have anything to do with the border towns and border troops in such important military affairs, up and down, and this matter is very taboo."
Hearing this, everyone's hearts were awe-inspiring, the forbidden army and the border town have too much to do with each other, if there is a suspicion in the court, it will be a catastrophe.
There was silence in the room for a while, but Tan Bing coughed and stood up, and said in a solemn voice:
"My lord, the decree says that the Huwei army will go out from Gubeikou, if the subordinates remember correctly, the Hara Hetao is only two hundred miles away from Gubeikou, and the cavalry will arrive in one day and one night."
The Hara Loop is the confluence of the Mo River and the Yisun Ho, one hundred and eighty miles northeast of the Gubei Mouth, and it is also the stronghold of the so-called rebel generals of the Altan tribe.
"My lord, when my subordinate brothers followed the elder in the past, they also stayed in Jizhen, and they knew the scene around the wall, and there were a lot of secret agents in the boats of the captives, and when the army passed through the Miyun guard, I am afraid that the captives on the grassland had already known the news......"
After a pause at this point, Sun Xin said:
"My lord, the Huwei army killed thousands of leptons outside Xuanfukou at the beginning of the year, these two places are not far away, our Huwei army is afraid that it is a thorn in their eyes, a thorn in the flesh, this time out of the plug, the news leakage is inevitable, if the Lepson brigade comes, wouldn't we be in danger."
After finishing speaking, the room was quiet, Sun Xin had always been steady and silent, this time he said so much, seeing everyone looking over, he couldn't help but be a little flustered, bowed his head and said:
"If there is a mistake or omission, I hope that the lord will forgive the sin!"
"That's right, a few of you have learned something in the martial arts hall in Tianjin."
Wang Tong nodded approvingly, praised it, and said at this time:
"Master, the secret decree is clear, it is said that our army is out of the middle road, Li Rusong Li led the Xuanfu border army out of the west road, and Lord Qi led the Jizhen soldiers out of the east road, our army and the Xuanfu border army are supplemented, and the Jizhen soldiers are the main, but the Xuanfu soldiers are almost five hundred miles away from the Hara Hetao, and Jizhen is also the number of times.
There are nearly 6,000 cavalry in the hands of the rebel generals, and Horqin is also the majority, and it is easy to dispatch a few thousand cavalry, but our army is only more than 4,000 auxiliary soldiers, so the disparity is really dangerous. ”
This time the silence in the house was real, and the contrast of numbers was the most intuitive, and they were isolated on the grassland, but they had to face the tens of thousands of cavalry who had been captured.
"Since it is the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty, it is our duty to go out of the fortress and kill the Tartars."
When everyone was worried about Zhongzhong, Wang Tong said indifferently and without fear.
Military affairs are important, from the preparation of various places, to the march on the road, and even the type of grain and grass supply must be discussed in detail, this is a confidential matter, not many people can participate, but it is busy Yang Sichen and Cai Nan, he listened and took notes while talking, and his wrists hurt.
When the window paper was white, everyone had come to a point, everyone in the room couldn't help but cover their mouths and yawn, everyone's eyes were red, Wang Tongtong rubbed his face with his hand, and said:
"Let the kitchen prepare breakfast for you, and after eating, go and stare at your own stall, and the official will check again today."
After finishing speaking, everyone got up to salute, said goodbye and went out, it was already dawn, Wang Tong closed his eyes slightly, and the soldiers brought a bowl of somen noodles and two side dishes.
Wang Tong got up and stretched, and was about to move his chopsticks, but he heard the report of the soldiers outside:
"My lord, that Xu Guangguo knelt all night and didn't move, and now that the sun is out, can't you see him?"
