Chapter 583: People's Heart
On the official road leading to Datong and Xuanfu, you can see an endless stream of grain vehicles, at the same time, a batch of goods transported from Beijing Shili arrived in Datong, the autumn wind is particularly cold in this north, and the majestic Datong city in the distance is beginning to show its outline.
Datong City set up a general system in Zhengde eight years, ordered a member of the general army, supervised all the military horses, at the peak, the garrison in Datong City reached 135778 at the most, 51,654 horses, Datong army vest in the world, not a lie.
In addition, there is also a border town of the god army, there are 9,000 personnel, specializing in firearms, artillery to defeat the enemy, because of the particularity of this military horse, so the soldiers and horses directly belong to the Datong prison army control.
In Datong City, there are often three people in charge, one is the prefect of Datong Prefecture, one is the general army of Datong, and the other is naturally the supervising army.
The prefect is in charge of civil affairs, the chief army supervises the army, and the eunuch supervises the army. This three-legged pattern was originally meant to supervise each other, but by now, it has long since changed. After all, the prefect's grade is too low, and there is really not much civil in Datong Mansion, and the general soldiers are often military attaches of the second and third grades, and in terms of official rank, they are four or five levels higher.
The prison army is different, the prison army comes from the palace, and the selection of military attaches may have nothing to do with civil officials, at most they are officials, giving you a merit test, but eunuchs are particularly important to a military attachΓ©.
To put it bluntly, because the eunuchs can go directly to the heavens, the top of the prison army is the eunuch of the imperial horse, and the eunuch of the imperial horse is the Son of Heaven.
Therefore, the status of Datong Sun Jianjun is transcendent, and whether it is the local prefect or the chief military officer, they all have to look up to him.
At this time, Sun Jianjun's house. An uninvited guest came.
Although the person who came was dressed in cloth and did not seem to have an official rank, but the shelf was not small, but when Sun Jianjun heard that this person was coming, he quickly came out to greet him, and without saying anything, his knees were weak and he fell to the ground.
"Why is Mr. Yang here, and now the soldiers are in danger...... I don't know if Huang Zuzong is doing well lately? Some time ago, I sent some long white ginseng. I don't know if Huang Zuzong used it. β
This Mr. Yang's name is Yang Kong, and he is the head of Huang Jin's mansion, and many of Huang Jin's affairs outside the palace are arranged by him, and he is in front of this Sun Jian Jun. There is no need to be polite, just said lightly: "Grandpa Huang is okay, those ginseng of yours are not used." β
When Sun Jianjun heard this, he immediately became vigilant and said, "This ...... This...... Did our family do something that Huang Zu was not happy about? Yes...... This...... Please also ask Mr. Yang for advice, our family's thoughts on Huang Gonggong. That's what a day to learn......"
Mr. Yang smiled coldly and said: "Do you think that Huang Zuzong doesn't know about your affairs in Datong, you rely on the prestige of Huang Zuzong to cause trouble everywhere, a few days ago." also disposed of a general without authorization, is there such a thing, and Datong's empty salary. You didn't eat less, did you? β
Sun Jianjun thought that his usual filial piety was less, which made Huang Gonggong unhappy. Suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, people want to clean him up, move his fingers, you can let him go back to the palace obediently, return to the palace, and pinch to death as much as he wants.
The prison army is beautiful outside, but for the people in the palace, it is a bad life, which is why the Son of Heaven set up a prison army, because the power of eunuchs will always come from the palace, if you want to live, let you die.
Sun Jianjun smiled bitterly: "This ...... Slaves and maids should be damned. β
Yang Kong didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said, "Find a quiet place, I have something to say to you." β
Sun Jianjun was worried, and hurriedly responded, asked people to clean up the study, closed the doors and windows, and then asked cautiously: "Is it that the slave maid did something that should not be done, Mr. Yang, can you tell one or two." β
Yang Kong stretched his waist and said: "It's not, it's just that Huang Gonggong has something to do, but I don't know, you Sun Hong can't do it, Huang Gonggong's original words are that you rabbit cub usually like to be lazy, if you can't do it this time, I'm afraid I will invite you back to the palace." β
Sun Jianjun immediately cheered up: "The lives of slaves and maids are all Huang Zuzong's, what explanation does he have, it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and slaves and maids do not frown." β
Yang Kong smiled at him and said, "That's the case, Gonggong Huang, I've been idle lately, and I've hoarded a batch of firearms in my hand, why, why has your face changed?" β
Sun Jianjun's face has indeed changed, hoarding firearms, this is not a trivial matter, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a rebellion.
Yang Kong said: "Actually, it's nothing, firearms are produced by Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau, Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau, you always know, although it is stipulated that firearms are not allowed to be sold to private individuals, but they can be bought in the name of the warrior battalion, but now, the warrior battalion is not needed, isn't it just about to send troops to fight now?" If you want to come to Xuanfu, you can use it, do you understand what Huang Gonggong means? Didn't the imperial court already allocate a batch of silver last month? A ...... dedicated to shopping"
Sun Jianjun immediately understood, and then, his face became embarrassed, in fact, the silver was indeed allocated, but after the allotment, it was used for other purposes, but he didn't say that he wanted to buy firearms. After all, the firearms of all kinds of soldiers and horses in Datong are produced and supplied by the imperial court. Isn't that a waste of money?
But Huang Gonggong's meaning is very clear, you have to buy his firearms, if you don't buy them, you have to buy them, if you don't buy them, you don't give Huang Gonggong face, if you don't give face, your surname Sun will be finished.
Sun Jianjun took a deep breath: "This ......"
Yang Kong said lightly: "Do you say this, I brought it, it seems that Sun Jianjun is very embarrassed, if Sun Jianjun is embarrassed, it's okay not to buy it, what about things, the contemptible people have already shipped it, it's a big deal, it doesn't matter if you bring it back." β
Having said that, Sun Jianjun didn't believe it, it didn't matter if he didn't buy it, he hesitated: "If you want to buy it, you must have a name, the firearms of the Shenji Army are sufficient, unless you ......"
There was a hint of coldness in his gaze.
Yang Kong stood up and said: "Don't tell me these things, you can do it yourself, I mean bring it, Yang will temporarily live in an inn opposite your door, think about it yourself." β
Sun Jianjun looked at him with a solemn face, naturally knowing what Yang Kong meant.
What you want to do is none of his business, but you have to do it well. If something goes wrong in the future, you will also carry this black cauldron.
Sun Jianjun nodded in a daze, and didn't hold back, just said, "Mr. Yang walks slowly." β
After sending Yang Kong away, Sun Jianjun's face became hideous, and he immediately called a confidant: "The treasury of the Shenji Battalion will be replaced by a group of guards, and let Zhang Bangzi lead the team to guard, and ...... tonight."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the night of the day. A loud bang almost resounded throughout the entire Datong City, and in the Datong City, it almost caused a riot, and in the sky above the warehouse of the Shenji Battalion, a huge flame rose in the night sky.
Yang Kong, who stayed in the inn. Pushing open the window, he looked in the direction of the great flames, shaking the fan in his hand, and smiling with a smile on his face.
Many things that seem impossible are actually just a gesture in the eyes of some people.
Many excuses that seem to have no excuses, as long as they are well-intentioned. Hook your fingers and you'll find an excuse.
Yang Kong's face was very calm, and it was very calm, as if there was a huge flame in front of him. It is a fireworks set off during festivals.
He shook his fan and lightly instructed the people in the room who took care of him: "Grandpa Sun's affairs, sure enough, are neat, go back and tell Grandpa Huang." It is said that Grandpa Sun was fortunate not to disgrace his life, and he just cured Grandpa Huang's heart disease. β
"Yes."
Someone left the inn. Disappeared into the night.
Early the next morning, the prefect of Datong and the chief military officer arrived one after another, Sun Jianjun jumped like thunder, and at this time, the guerrilla general Zhang Bang was also tied in, at this time Zhang Bang did not know what was going on, but knew that he was responsible for guarding the treasury, and said that it would be blown up, and then he was grabbed and tied up, and he was beaten for a while, and now, he is dying.
"Dog thing, our family lifted you up, let you guard the treasury, do you know, the treasury is stored in gunpowder and firearms, there must be no open flame, as a result, you had an accident that night, okay, okay, you dog thing, if our family doesn't handle you, how to explain to the court, how to deal with the emperor? At this juncture, you poked such a big basket for our family, do you still want to live? β
Zhang Bang was covered in blood, his teeth had long been gone, but he was crawling on the ground, and under him, red blood stains were flowing in Bobo.
"Come!" Sun Jianjun smiled coldly, and two words popped out from between his teeth: "Kill!" β
After taking care of Zhang Bang, Sun Jianjun's eyes fell on the prefect of Datong and the chief military officer, he looked at the chief military officer, a slight chill passed in his eyes, and said slowly: "Wang Zongbing, this surname Zhang, is your own soldier who started his family, and he has always been promoted by you, and he is also your sponsor, and our family saw you promote him so much, so we entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, but now, he poked such a big basket, you talk about it, what should our family do?" β
Wang Zongbing has long been uneasy, Zhang Bang is indeed his hand up, usually there are no less good words of Zhang Sun Bang, but now when he goes out to the army, it is such a big accident, Sun Jianjun is now attacking himself, if in the end, carry this black pot on his body, can he still live?
Wang Zongbing hurriedly said with a bitter face: "Father-in-law Sun, the last general is blind, and I also invite Father-in-law Sun Haihan." β
"Haihan?" Sun Jianjun sat down slowly, cocked his orchid fingers, uncovered the tea lid, and said slowly: "The top priority at the moment, on the one hand, we have to explain things clearly to the imperial court, how to explain it, it is your Wang Zongbing's business, in addition, the Shenji army has no firearms, it is a toothless tiger, this is not possible, but now, it is not possible to ask the imperial court for supplies, the only way is to order a batch of firearms immediately, otherwise...... Without the Divine Machine Army, it is very unsafe for Datong to send troops. β
"Buying firearms, just ......"
Sun Jianjun said: "This matter, we have to come forward, you don't have to worry about the purchase, it's just this silver......" He looked at the prefect and Wang Zongbing, and a slightly mocking smile appeared on his face.
"That's easy to say." Wang Zongbing didn't dare to hesitate, what he was most worried about now was that Sun Jianjun asked him to carry the black pot, and the matter of silver was easy to say, and it was just a big deal to embezzle.
It's just that the prefect wanted to say something, but he just frowned, after all, he couldn't say anything about the matter here.
