Chapter 158 Dividing the Territory

Sun Yuanhua is always the biggest official here, and the other two are not too competitive. As the prefect, Song Yi has already made a lot of effort to come over and complain. So Zhang Yao stood up and arched his hand: "Lord Zhongcheng, the lower officials still have something to say." ”

Sun Yuanhua looked at Zhang Yao with a serious look, and felt very unhappy. But he couldn't help but nod impatiently: "Lord Zhang, let's say, listen to the official." ”

Zhang Yao said: "The original soldiers in Dengzhou, plus the Dongjiang soldiers, the total number is not less than 15,000. There is so much silver allocated by the household department every year, and the Dengzhou camp originally lived a tight life, but now this bit of silver, how should it be divided? ”

When Sun Yuanhua heard this question, he also had to cheer up and deal with it. He asked the Dongjiang Army to come, not simply because they could fight, but because he brought them over to support him. No matter where he goes, if he does not obey his own army, this governor is not good. Before, he protected Kong Youde and others for this purpose.

There is a problem, the household department will not give Dengzhou an extra tael of silver, even if you have more troops now, you will not give more. In the original Dengzhou camp, the actual number of people was only four or five thousand, of which half were the old, weak, sick and disabled who ate mixed rice. Now that there is one more Chen Xie, there are more than 3,000 people under him, and Zhang Yao must fight for him to earn an income. Don't look at Chen Xie's money, this battle must still be fought for.

When Chen Xie heard this on the side, he immediately lowered his eyebrows and pretended to be a statue, and entered the theater mode. Sure enough, Song Yi came to the spirit, he was a civil official, a Jinshi background, and he was not afraid of Sun Yuanhua at all. When he said loudly: "Chen Sihua bravely crowned the three armies, and all his subordinates can recruit people who are good at fighting." Xia Guan thought. Silver, of course, should give priority to troops who can fight. ”

As soon as these words came out, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were anxious. As the representatives of the Dongjiang Army, they must fight for the rice in everyone's bowl. But now it's the civil officials who are talking, and they can't interject, they can only look at Sun Yuanhua and expect him to speak.

"Lord Song's words are inappropriate, the Dongjiang Army is also an elite soldier in a hundred battles, how can it not be compared with Chen Xie's department? Besides, they are all from the imperial court, how can they favor one over the other? Let's count it according to the head. Mr. Zhang. You're a soldier, you tell me. Sun Yuanhua turned to Zhang Yao, you raised this matter, so you can talk about it.

Zhang Yao was prepared. Said lightly: "Lord Huizhongcheng." This is not a difficult matter. The departments re-checked. It is divided according to the head. In this way, everyone is the same, and there will not be much complaint. "Zhang Yao is actually very bad. He did this for Chen Xie's sake. He knew very well that Chen Xie's troops, counting on the imperial court's salaries, would have starved to death long ago.

The problem is, in this way, Sun Yuanhua is also very difficult, the Dengzhou battalion used to be called 10,000, but in fact it was only half, so it barely supported it. Now that there are more than 3,000 more Chen Xie, no matter how they are cut, they can't support so many troops. Besides, the salary in the imperial court does not mean that you can have it. often broke off or something, and there was a salary incident in Liaodong, forcing a governor to death. Don't Dengzhou also come to such a show, right? You must know that the consequences of this soldier's mutiny are very severe. Burning, killing and looting are common things, turning back to rebel or something, and then waiting for Zhao'an, it's all this way.

"Chen Sihua, tell me what to do?" Sun Yuanhua has not been here for a long time, but it does not prevent him from knowing what is going on with this Chen Shen in Dengzhou Camp. It is not difficult to inquire about the matter, Chen Xie's previous regimental training camp, which did not hold the imperial court responsible for a penny. Sun Yuanhua asked Chen Xie directly, that means you are still the same, don't grab food from the bowl with Huazi.

"Me?" Chen Xie, who was installing the statue, was very surprised, raised his finger and pointed to his nose, and saw Sun Yuanhua nodding in confirmation, and there was a threat in his eyes, Chen Xie smiled, and said with a smile in front of Sun Yuanhua's eyes: "A lowly military attaché, how can I have room to speak about this kind of thing?" ”

Sun Yuanhua suddenly raised an octave, slightly angry: "If I ask you to say it, you can say it." ”

Without waiting for Chen Xie to answer, Zhang Yao had already taken a step forward and arched his hand: "Zhongcheng, you are so aggressive towards Chen Shenjiang, is there a must for this?" Originally, the matter had nothing to do with him, and the matter of money and food, how could a military attache be allowed to talk nonsense? ”

Zhang Yao's words are definitely from a righteous point of view, the Ming Dynasty uses literature to control martial arts, relying on the big stick of money and grain. Unless Sun Yuanhua wants to break this convention, then he will be the enemy of the civil officials in the world, and the consequences will be very severe.

Sun Yuanhua couldn't say anything, he was also a civil official. It is true that the governor is in charge of the army on horseback, and he is in charge of the place when he dismounts. In essence, he is still a civil official, and he must speak from the position of a civil official, otherwise he will break the rules of the game. Seeing that Sun Yuanhua's face was ugly and needed a step, Song Yi quickly stood up and said, "Master Zhang, Sihua is always assertive, you might as well listen to him." "It looks like this is going on according to Sun Yuanhua's meaning, but in fact, it doesn't, it depends on what Chen Xie says.

At this time, Chen Xie couldn't stop talking, so he had to cough and said: "Zhongcheng, Uncle Zhang, Song Governor's Mansion, before the expedition last year, Lord Wang and Lord Xiao promised a lowly duty as a garrison and an errand for a thousand households. "It's a bit of a sudden, and no one reacts.

Sun Yuanhua was also a little dizzy, turned around and asked the staff next to him, "Have you ever seen a copywriter in this regard?" ”

A staff member said: "Yes, yes, but Chen Xie has been promoted from His Majesty to a staff general, so there is no need to mention such things, right?" ”

Chen Xie was not happy when he heard this, and sneered a few times and said, "This is what Mr. said well, what he said." ”

This guy is weird, everyone knows what he means. This is in my bowl, what is the matter with you pulling it out?

Zhang Yao didn't do it anymore, and sneered: "This matter last year, this official knew about it. Sihua paid a lot of money and food for this, although Lord Zhang and Governor Xiao have stepped down, and the Ministry of War also has a receipt for what they promised, how can they not count? ”

Sun Yuanhua was tired of feeling crooked, glared at the staff, and said in his heart that there are enough things, you have nothing to do, go back and send him away, so blind. "Well, of course, it's going to be counted. Chen Sihua, you continue. ”

With this, Chen Xie smiled slightly and said, "Then it's not a big problem." There is only one thing, Dengzhou Water Village, can it be handed over to the lowly to defend? "Chen Xie really didn't think too much about this, he just wanted to give it a try.

Geng Zhongming coughed on the side, Sun Yuanhua glanced at him and said, "Yuntai, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

With Sun Yuanhua's nod, Geng Zhongming stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Sihua, everyone is a pot stirring spoon." At present, this water village and the surrounding area are guarded by the elder brother's leader. If you have something to do, in a word, I guarantee that it will be done beautifully for you. ”

This is said to be level, the implication is that you guard the water village, what am I doing? Chen Xie's troops are now outside the city, and no one will give in to the first radish and pit in this city.

"Lord Zhongcheng, since this is the case, as a general of the Dengzhou battalion, he has no choice but to build another water village and military camp outside the city. Isn't that what it means? Chen Xie kicked the ball back, Sun Yuanhua could only nod when he heard it, he couldn't agree to it, he led the troops into the city, everyone squeezed together, there was really no place to turn around. It's so much trouble to re-divide the territory or something. finally settled Zhang Keda, and now get another Chen Xie?

"Well, then do what you want. However, this official has something to say first, and the safety of Huang County and Ninghai Prefecture will be handed over to you by this constitution. "Sun Yuanhua's meaning is very clear, as long as you don't want the territory in Dengzhou City, you don't want silver, you can toss it. In a word, if you don't have any silver, you want land to steal and rob outside, but I didn't see it.

Chen Xie originally felt that the previous regimental training camp was too small, and the wharf was also a little smaller. In the future, we will definitely develop sailors, and we can't do it without a wharf. Sun Yuanhua nodded, Chen Xie could naturally do it boldly. And don't worry about him cheating, these two people can testify on the spot.

"In that case, there's nothing to say about lowliness." Chen Xie's wealthy and generous local tyrant style came out, everyone knew that he was wealthy, and he raised more than 3,000 Ding. So when Chen Xie said this, he tacitly agreed that he didn't want the money from the household, but he couldn't say it clearly, which was also a rule. When the money is issued, how should everyone divide it.

Zhang Yao said at this time: "Sihua, in the future, the ground of Dengzhou will depend on you to maintain it." ”

Well, Sun Yuanhua was a little stunned now, this Zhang Yao is really unrelenting. But he has nothing to say, if he can not transfer Chen Xie in the future, he will not be moved. It's all because the court is too poor, and there's nothing to say about it.

Chen Xie was very strange, why didn't he see Zhang Keda, and it was not easy to ask in front of Sun Yuanhua, so he had to follow Zhang Yao and leave. At this time, Chen Xie's status had been clear, and he belonged to the local armed forces within the establishment of the Dengzhou battalion. If you don't pay the money, don't expect to transfer Chen Xie to the battlefield. This is the key to Zhang Yao's final mending knife, he is a soldier and has this power. The governor wants to transfer troops, and he has the right to speak.

Song Yi also came out, Chen Xie was very strange, why didn't he see Zhang Keda. After inquiring, I found out that Zhang Keda was "sick".

This disease is obviously not real, and it shows that it is very miserable to be squeezed by others. Zhang Keda, the chief soldier, is only sad in his life. Wang Tingqian and Xiao Yu are gone, and he is the only one left who was the mastermind who jointly forced Chen Xie to go to the battlefield.

Chen Xie really didn't have the intention of retaliating against him, but asked Song Yi very curiously, how did he come to Dengzhou to become the prefect? mentioned this, Song Yi thanked Chen Xie again and again, saying that when he was talking about his merits, His Majesty remembered that he had fought hard in Xianghe, and he cooperated very well with Chen Xie, so it was better to go to Dengzhou to be the prefect. Chen Xie was really surprised, is this okay? (To be continued......)
