Chapter 516 Set up a bureau to act
Let's just say that Yan Hong himself, on the basis of wearing the aura of a prophet and knowing that Yu Dayou is a patriotic general and a pillar of the country, although he tries his best to suppress this emotion, he will inevitably be disgusted with him, let alone others? Hu Zongxian saw that he was angry, and it was not without reason.
However, Qi Jiguang seems to have a very good personal relationship with Yu Dayou, and this gift is also intended to intercede for Yu Dayou. After all, the war is imminent, and if there is even a shortage of food and equipment, the situation Yu Dayou faces will be too unfavorable. If the battle is lost because of this, then there is nowhere to find the unjust death.
Yan Hong thought to himself, although Yu Dayou is not right with him, he is a famous general of the country. At present, the Japanese invaded on a large scale, and Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou were the cornerstones of their ability to stabilize the southeast defense line. What's more, Xu Wenchang also said that this battle is fought, Zhao'an and Kaihai are easy to say, if the fight is not good, the emperor is angry, then all the previous plans will be in vain, everyone will wait to lose their official position and lose their heads. So from this point of view, whether it is Hu Zongxian or Yan Hong, they must also rely on Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang to win the battle.
If Yu Dayou is really wronged, resulting in a decline in the combat effectiveness of the troops, it will not do him any good. It's just that Hu Zongxian doesn't seem to be a person who doesn't distinguish between the important and the serious, how could he deduct Yu Dayou in this regard? Could it be that your brain is sick?
Seeing Yan Hong's questioning face, Qi Jiguang said: "Speaking of which, this matter is also embarrassing. General Yu had a bad personality and had a temper with the quartermaster, but as a result, he was manipulated, and when he received money and food for equipment, he was always unable to distribute it on time and in quantity. The quartermaster is also a person close to the marshal, a person who conceals luxury, and we can't help him. It's okay on weekdays, but now that the war is coming, if there is not enough food and equipment. I'm afraid that something will go wrong in the event of a war. When the time comes. Mr. Yu's own honor and disgrace are small. Jiangnan's safety is at stake. ”
Only then did Yan Hong understand that the so-called Hades was easy to see, but the little ghosts were difficult. Quartermasters have always been fat, but I didn't expect that the military quartermasters of the Ming Dynasty would be like the quartermasters of the Underworld period in later generations, and they would only be willing to distribute supplies after seeing kickbacks. Needless to say, people like Yu Dayou know the truth, and they will definitely not pay a single money. The accumulation of contradictions between the two sides, and the quartermaster took the opportunity to retaliate, which is also a logical thing.
He nodded, "On this matter." You just have to rest assured, I will let General Yu receive the ordnance and food when I turn around. But General Yu's personality is the best way to change it. Otherwise, you will still suffer in the future. It doesn't matter if you offend me, I won't do anything big or small. However, this general with troops has a lot to deal with, and if he is offended everywhere, it will be difficult to move an inch. It's really not good, why don't you General Qi find an interesting document for General Yu, and let this document be arranged by officialdom than to make General Yu run into walls everywhere. ”
Qi Jiguang saw that Yan Daqin was young. I am so broad-minded, and I am very grateful. nodded yes again and again, and kept giving salutes and thanks, and said goodbye. Yan Hong waited for Qi Jiguang to retreat, and after a little pondering, he sent someone to invite Hu Baiqi, the third son of Hu.
In the room where Hu Sangongzi entered, with a happy face, Yan Hong smiled and said, "What, Brother Hu has a happy event?" ”
Hu Baiqi said, "Yes, Brother Yan, you don't know what to do. Word spread throughout the city, saying that the Japanese ships were approaching the southeast, and that the fleet was obscuring the sky and the sun, and there was no end in sight, and I don't know how many men and horses were coming, and I was afraid that this time it was going to be a big battle. The No. 1 fan on the Hangzhou flower boat, 'Xiao Xi Shi', quietly asked the girl to send me a sweat towel, and said that as long as I won the battle, I would be willing to be good with me. You don't know what to do, their ten sisters are swearing goodbye, you said that if you come to sleep with your brother-in-law, how ...... is this?"
Yan Hong coughed and interrupted the other party's words: "Brother Hu, I invited you here today to ask you for help with some serious matters." I'll talk about sleeping with my brother-in-law later. When Yan Hong said about Yu Dayou, Hu Baiqi pouted and said: "Yu Dayou's old man is very hateful, every time he speaks against his father, he also sued my father for his black state, and he deserves to be beaten." The quartermaster is a member of my Hu family, and he is still my elder. Besides, it is also customary to receive ordnance and give some red envelopes. In this matter, it seems that it is a little inconvenient for me to come out. ”
Yan Hong saw the other party's appearance, and thought to himself, you are so sloppy, you dare to play this game for me, it is really hateful. Perhaps, this quartermaster deducted supplies and demanded kickbacks, and also gave you a share of oil and water, and asked you to come out as a backstage backer at this time. Let's see, Lao Tzu can even fool the emperor Lao'er, and he can't handle you, the anointed son?
Yan Hong smiled and said, "Brother Hu, don't you want that little Xi Shi to love your character more?" Don't you still want to taste the taste of Jiumei's visit to her brother-in-law? Come, listen to me tell you, as long as this matter is done properly, I guarantee that she will die and hate to serve you for the rest of her life. ”
These words are indeed useful, Hu Baiqi came to his senses as soon as he heard it, leaned over with his big head, and discussed with Yan Hong for a long time before he said: "This, is it appropriate?" The quartermaster is my relative and elder. ”
Yan Hong said: "You are stupid, you won't tell your elders first?" Besides, you can figure it out. When a soldier fights, he has to go to the front line to fight to the death with the Japanese invaders. At this time, if you cut off people's supplies, you are not only taking revenge, but also sending thousands of people to death! This harm is not only Yu Dayou alone, but even Uncle Hu, even me Yan Hong, and millions of people along the coast! Besides, Yu Dayou's temper, when the matter comes, will he obediently eat this blood loss? If he doesn't fight on weekdays, he will endure it, but now that the war is imminent, he has not received enough things for a long time, can he not be in a hurry? If you really want this old man to break into the yamen and complain in front of Hu Dashuai, I think Hu Dashuai will probably borrow the head of your relative to encourage the morale of the three armies. Think about a head, a beating, which one is heavier and which is lighter? Why make everyone unhappy? I said, if you really get this thing done, not only will you have face in the whole city, but even the handsome will praise you for being able to do things and share your worries. ”
Hu Baiqi understood what he heard, so he went out and called out to one of his own soldiers and gave a few orders. Then he ordered someone to invite Yu Dayou. When Yu Dayou came in, he had an expression on his face that he was owed millions of silver, and he reluctantly bowed to Yan Hong and bowed to Hu Baiqi.
Hu Baiqi smiled all over his face, and first gave a salute and said, "Uncle Yu is hard. I heard that Uncle Yu, because you have some disagreements with the quartermaster, you were taken advantage of by this guy to take revenge, and this time the equipment and food have not been fully paid. My father asked my little nephew and me to participate in some camp affairs, and Uncle Yu suffered this grievance, but it was not my nephew's. I'll go to you for justice. ”
Yu Dayou snorted and said, "The third prince has a heart." It's not this time, it's not that it hasn't been fully received, it's that it has never been sufficient. Either in arrears, or in charge, and now even firearms and ammunition are deducted. The marshal obviously gave me 100 shotguns, but now I only have 70 shotguns, of which 40 are old guns, and if I don't repair them, I can't shoot them at all. On the Franc machine, he also took a batch of crutches to count, saying that this was the Franc machine. Can the handcuffs work? This can't be done! When the marshal has finished talking to the businessmen about the military salary, I will go to him to make a clear theory. ”
He had been detained by the quartermaster many times over the years, and he was already full of anger. repeatedly wanted to attack, but was suppressed by Qi Jiguang, and even squeezed out some supplies from his new barracks and gave them to Yu Dayou. But now that the war is imminent, this is not a daily training exercise, but a matter of fighting to the death with the Japanese bandits, and you can't afford to have a few guns. Qi Jiguang also knew that it was impossible for him to take out materials to help his brother, for fear that his brother's temper would become bigger, so he came to Yan Hong first to leave a way out.
Yan Hong saw that Yu Dayou couldn't speak at all, Hu Baiqi was polite to him, but he was not polite at all, thinking that you old thing is really hopeless, if you don't see that you will lead the troops, Lao Tzu will let you go first. He knew that Hu Baiqi's temper would be troublesome if he also flares up, so he hurriedly persuaded him: "The old general is angry, listen to me." Now, it is better to make up the money, food and equipment first, and as for the right and wrong debate, it is better to wait until the war subsides before reasoning. Now, if a lawsuit is filed, according to my experience, the relevant affairs will have to be suspended, and all the ordnance and materials will have to be sealed, the numbers will be counted, and the current accounts will be checked. This is not an overnight effort, I'm afraid that if we can't check it in three or two months, the Japanese will give us so much time? ”
As soon as he said this, he used the name of righteousness to squeeze Yu Dayou. Yu Dayou is not an indiscriminate person, and it is his life's wish to go into battle to kill the Japanese. But he was really stubborn, and he still pushed his beard and said: "What Qin Cha said is reasonable, then it has to be like this, first get the ordnance and then talk!" But when this battle is over, I'm going to have to tell the difference! ”
At that moment, Hu Baiqi took dozens of personal soldiers, and Yu Dayou and dozens of his subordinates prepared a cart and went straight to the armory. Along the way, he deliberately sent people to spread the news, saying that Hu Sangongzi was going to ask for the people's life today and kill his relatives in righteousness. Yan Hong was mixed in the team, and he also sent the Jinyi guards around him to spread the news. Sure enough, when the people heard the news, they helped the old and the young to follow, ready to watch a good show.
After a short time, the team had already arrived in front of the armory, but they saw a quartermaster in his thirties, with a thin face and two whiskers, lined up in front of the armory with dozens of soldiers. Now the situation in the southeast is tense, there are three police officers a day, and the security level of the armory is naturally not low. When the man saw Hu Baiqi coming, he immediately gave a salute, and then said, "I don't know if the third prince is coming, what advice do you have?" ”
Hu Baiqi used to get along well with this distant uncle, but now he is unceremoniously, pointing at a pair of drivers with a straight face, and shouting: "Short-lived killer!" Now that the war is imminent, and the soldiers are fighting bloodily, you don't want to delay his money, food and equipment because of a few words of quarrel with General Yu a few days ago. Although you and I belong to our own family, but in front of the king's law, we can't talk about personal feelings, have you ever been convicted of sin? ”
The quartermaster was not only delaying, but also withheld a lot of supplies. It's just that this guy is a businessman, quite cunning, and makes the accounts vague, even if Yu Dayou really goes to sue and starts a lawsuit, how can he find his flaws with that rough man's means? But he knew that he relied on the support of the Hu family's father and son to sit in this position, and since Hu Sangongzi instructed him to admit his guilt, he had no choice but to admit it. This hero can bend and stretch, and immediately knelt on the ground very cooperatively, took off his helmet and kowtowed: "Back to the words of the third prince, it was the villain who was covered with lard for a while, and he only delayed it for a few days. General Yu's military quartermaster, the villain immediately sent it clearly. (To be continued......)
