Chapter 212: Horse Robbery
Fan Min is twenty-four years old, originally a small banner in the Northwest Frontier Army, a few months ago he was favored by Xu Rui because of his excellent material dispatch ability, and now he is the commander of the baggage company of the Apocalypse Guard, and the centurion of the seventh grade.
During this period of time, he has been in charge of dealing with the Arsenal Division of the Ministry of War, and he has already mixed well with the people of the Arsenal Division, and if he is lucky, he can even invite the chief minister out for a drink after handing over the errand.
Today, he went to the Arsenal Division of the Ministry of War to receive five hundred war horses to make up for the wear and tear of winter training and the difference from before.
Zhang Heng, the treasurer of the Arsenal Division, is familiar with him, but every time he sees his green camouflage uniform, he still can't help laughing, but what kind of thing is not unbelievable with Xu Rui? Everyone is not surprised.
"Lord Fan came early enough."
Zhang Heng greeted Fan Min with a smile.
"It's all military affairs, how dare you delay?"
Fan Min smiled and nodded, and handed over an official document signed by Xu Rui, and there was also a silver ticket of one hundred taels in the official document, which was naturally specially explained by Xu Rui, and now it has become a common practice.
Zhang Heng took the official document, took out the silver ticket from it, stuffed it into his pocket without hesitation, and said loudly: "You have broken the bill again, the brothers have paid the errand, and they can drink the wine of adults again." ”
Naturally, this money is not for Zhang Heng alone, from the staff to the errand officer, everyone has a share, and several small officials around him will also smile and nod their heads to Fan Min to thank them.
Fan Min said with a smile: "It's all my own family, it's a matter of life if I say this, my family said, it's not easy for you, you can speak at any time if you have a useful place, we still have to rely on you, right?" ”
Zhang Heng said with a smile: "Lord Xu is just thinking about the brothers, and I also ask Lord Fan to help the brothers say thank you, your horse has been prepared, it is in the treasury room, five hundred, one is not less." ”
Fan Min nodded and said, "Thank you so much." ”
"It's next month again! Has this been dragging on for months? ”
As he was talking, a roar suddenly came from the principal's signing room.
Fan Min was slightly stunned, and said to Nunu in the signing room: "What's going on inside?" ”
Zhang Heng's face suddenly fell: "Don't mention it, people from the southeast, think they are still in the place, come here to play tricks, look at it, they don't even want to lead a hair!" ”
Fan Min understood as soon as he heard it, when he was in the Northwest Frontier Army, the ordnance and military salaries were often delayed, and it was okay to delay them for a few months, but the terrible thing was that the number issued was much less than that on the official documents, and the generals above did not dare to go to the military headquarters to reason.
At that time, he didn't understand why this happened, until he saw Xu Rui's money and open the way, and he was invincible, and then he understood that the really powerful people not only have backgrounds, but also means, and people naturally supply those people.
There are so many grains, grasses, and ordnance, and if you take too much here, you naturally have to scrape it from the border army, and it is a reason to go wherever you go.
This thing was too common, Fan Min naturally didn't have time to take care of it, nodded at Zhang Heng and walked out of the Arsenal Division, ready to sign for the five hundred horses of the Apocalypse Guard.
And in the signing room of the head of the Arsenal Division, a military man with five big and three thick was grabbing his collar and roaring angrily: "Say a thousand war horses, my family has been in office for a few months, and I haven't even seen a single horse hair until now, are you sincere in embarrassing my family?!" ”
This person is none other than Zuo Meng, the right-hand man of the new commander of the left guard of the Chinese army, Wang Yi, who is the commander of the Jingwei of the third grade, and Zuo Meng has also risen and become the commander of the left guard of the Chinese army.
He Fang, the head of the Arsenal Division, is just a petty official of the sixth grade, how can he be provoked? I had to laugh and persuade at the same time.
"Lord Zuo, it's really not that the lower officials are embarrassed for you, last winter there was a lot of snow, and all battalions had a lot of losses, and the new horses in the northwest have not been delivered yet, and I am also a good woman who is difficult to cook without rice."
Zuo Meng pushed him aside and snorted coldly: "Let go of your fart!" When the adults of my family took office, the Apocalypse Guard led 4,000 war horses, and the other battalions also made progress, but when it was the turn of my family, you made it difficult in every way. ”
He Fang smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Zuo, the horse of the Apocalypse Guard is personally approved by the Holy Lord, and Xiao Shangshu personally supervises it, can this be the same?" ”
"How is it different?"
Zuo Meng was stunned when he heard this, and said angrily: "What Apocalypse Guard? But there are more than a thousand baby soldiers, green and like Wang Ba, and a few broken scholars who are simply powerless, what kind of battle do these people fight?
Just with these pretending rotten grains can receive more than 4,000 war horses, counting all four horses for one person, my family was born and died for the Great Wei, and made countless meritorious contributions, so he couldn't even see a single horsehair, what is the reason?
Also, last month, you clearly said that there would be a new batch of war horses, and now that the time is up, you have another explanation, don't you look down on my family? ”
As he spoke, Zuo Meng rushed to the front of He with an arrow step, grabbed his collar, and lifted him up, his face was full of hideousness, and he was about to hit someone.
He Fang is thin and small, which is his opponent, he was so frightened that his heart was already weak, and he subconsciously said: "Original...... Originally, there was a war horse, but there was a decree from the Holy Saint to supply the Apocalypse Guard first......"
As soon as the words came out, He felt that something was wrong and quickly closed his mouth, but it was too late.
Zuo Meng already looked down on the bells and whistles of the Apocalypse, and when he heard that his horse was robbed by that group of kings, he was furious.
"Damn, it's these bastards again, Lao Tzu will lift his mother's Apocalypse Guard today, see who dares to snatch my adult's horse!"
The king shouted angrily, threw He Fang to the ground, turned around and kicked open the door of the signing room, and walked straight towards the treasury room.
"Ouch......"
He Fang rubbed his butt and chased out of the door, where was Zuo Meng's figure, he was shocked, and hurriedly said to the left and right: "Quick, stop him!" ”
Fang Cai's matter, a few small officials outside the door heard it clearly, and when they saw their own head in such an embarrassed manner, their faces were not good-looking.
"Lord He, I can't stop it, the surname Zuo is here with soldiers this time, more than 100 people!"
Zhang Heng said solemnly.
"It's broken!"
He Fang's face changed, and he couldn't care about the bruised buttocks, and said hurriedly: "Go, go, go and report to Lord Shangshu!" ”
At the door of the treasury room, the officers of the Arsenal Division had already prepared the horses, and Fan Min only needed to take someone to count them, and after signing them, he could lead the horses back to the camp.
He had just packed everything and was about to leave, but a group of angry soldiers suddenly rushed to the door to block the way, and in the middle was an eight-foot-long, gangster-like general, who was Zuo Meng.
Fan Min frowned, and arched his hand to the left: "This lord, we will take the horses and vacate the place immediately, and we will bother you to let go." ”
Zuo Meng sneered and said: "Boy, give you two ways, either hand over Lao Tzu's horse and get out of the way with his tail between his legs, or Lao Tzu will break the legs of your bastards and lead the horse yourself!" ”
Fan Min stared, looked at Wang Meng, and then at the hundred or so menacing soldiers behind him, and suddenly sank his face.
Half an hour later, in the camp of the left guard of the Chinese army, Wang Yi was discussing with the deputy general about changing the guard at night, when suddenly a scout rushed in and bowed his head.
"General Qiyu, General Zuo went to the military headquarters to lead the horses and was blocked, and there was a conflict with the people of the Apocalypse, General Zuo beat their people in a fit of rage, robbed five hundred war horses, and was on the way back to the camp."
"What?!"
The adjutant general was shocked when he heard this, and although Wang Yi didn't speak, he stood up from his chair with a "poof".
"General, this ......"
The deputy general looked at Wang Yi in embarrassment.
Wang Yi's face is not good-looking.
"Zuo Meng, this person is more than fierce, and his wisdom is insufficient, and this is a big disaster."
The adjutant general frowned, shook his head and said: "It's not like, no matter how popular he Xu Rui is, he is just a six-grade commander experience, and the last general will go to him in person, can he still give this face?" ”
Wang Yi shook his head: "It's not that simple, all the ordnance and material supplies of the Apocalypse Guard have a holy decree, to put it mildly, Zuo Meng's seizure of the horse is a blatant rebellion, if Xu Rui Xiao'er makes a fuss about this matter, Wang Meng will be in danger." ”
Hearing him say this, the adjutant general's face also sank: "Then what should I do?" Could it be that the general plans to hand over General Zuo to Xu Rui for disposal? ”
Wang Yi shook his head and said: "Of course not, although Zuo Meng acted like Meng Lang, it was too much for the military department to deduct the left guard of our Chinese army, not to mention that Zuo Meng was also thinking about the whole army, how could this commander chill the hearts of the soldiers?" ”
Saying that, Wang Yi pondered for a moment and said: "I will go to the Liao Wangfu now, if Xu Rui Xiao'er really plans to make trouble in the palace, Ben Shuai will accompany him to fight this lawsuit, I don't believe that the Holy Lord will openly favor him!" ”
Wang Yi said as he took off the big hat from the chair, called a few personal soldiers, and headed towards the Liao Wangfu in a hurry.
At the same time, in the tent of the Apocalypse Guard, a group of officers looked angrily at Fan Min, who was beaten to death, and Xu Rui's face was even more pale, and his teeth creaked.
