Chapter 177: Withholding military salaries

Qiqihar stood on the hill, watching the endless army under his feet slowly move south, and his heart couldn't help but give birth to a sense of pride, a few years ago, he was just an unknown yellow flag Niulu, and now he is the governor of the three provinces who commanded an army of 100,000 people, and the lives and deaths of countless people are in his hands.

"Damn it, the Governor is different." Qiqihar scolded in his heart, looking back at the bustling soldiers behind him, and dozens of high-flying commander's banners, it is really infinite, the feudal officials who rule several provinces are different, even if it is a brother-in-law, I am afraid that they will not be able to put on such a pomp, no wonder so many flag people in the capital dream of being officials, the same is the seventh grade, the seventh grade official in your capital is wearing patched mendling clothes, and even hiring a sedan chair driver has to be carefully calculated, but as soon as he got to the ground and made the county order, it was a front and back hug, beating gongs and drums, Majestic on all sides. This silver is pouring into the house like flowing water, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, this is not groundless.

Whether the Qing Governor's Mansion can earn 100,000 snowflakes of silver he Qiqihar doesn't know, but a few days after taking office, Qiqihar has deducted 34,000 taels of soldiers' salaries, as well as the silver of the filial piety of the leaders and generals below.

"Come, give orders to go down, the whole army will rest on the spot, bury the pot and make food." Qiqihar suddenly had a kind heart, and the sky was not yet dark, so he let the army rest and rest, and it seemed difficult to eat and sleep before continuing to walk, he hesitated again and again, and finally gritted his teeth. He said to Qiqihar: "My lord, the food from the rear has not yet arrived." Some of the dry rations stored in the army have been exhausted, is it ...... again"

"Bastard." Qiqihar angrily kicked Zuo Ling: "Such a big thing. You have not reported it for a long time, do you still have me as a governor in your eyes? ”

Zuo Ling confessed with a bitter face, how dare he report it, but his top boss Sorotu was escorting the food and salary, and he was still a golden branch and jade leaf. Brother Zheng'er, Brother Huang Belt, you went to tell the Governor that the food and salary had not arrived, and it was clearly a complaint against the Governor Sorotu for his ineffective work, and the Governor and the Admiral were originally at odds, and he didn't dare to mix in this troubled water, so the generals kept it a secret. I only hope that Sorotu's grain convoy will arrive sooner, until there is no food and grass in the army, which is really impossible to hide.

"Where is Sorotu now? Why hasn't the food been brought in yet? Qiqihar's face darkened. It's only when Sorotu deliberately delays and wants to rectify himself. I couldn't help but be angry in my heart, and asked angrily.

"This ...... This humble position is also unknown. Should... It should be almost there. Zuo Ling was half-kneeling on the ground, not even daring to lift his head.

"Send out all the scouts. I have to dig three feet into the ground for Lao Tzu to find out. Qiqihar shouted loudly, and the attachés behind him couldn't help but shudder, the governor and the admiral did not agree, but unfortunately these subordinates were not pandering to the governor, and they were not close to the admiral, but these two were still temperamental lords.

"Lord Governor, Admiral Sodmir is here, you see, that's the small flag of the grain team." Someone pointed his fingertips into the distance, and there was a hint of happiness in his voice.

Many pairs of eyes followed the direction of the man's fingertips, and sure enough, they saw a slow grain cart at the back of the procession, and the end of the Ling Yi, which had been winding all the way to the mountain, had not yet seen the end, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Lord Admiral has finally come, and it is also a matter of the two of you to make trouble, everyone can finally stand aside as a stake, at least no one will be offended.

"Go. Raise the big tent of the Chinese army. Bring a few people to bring Sorotu over. But the Governor wants to see. What else can he say about the delay of the military plane. Qiqihar sneered and said fiercely.

"Wow!"

In fact, Sorotu did not mean to delay. It was only in the process of raising grain land that a problem was discovered. More than 30,000 taels of food and wages were deducted. In fact, the deduction of food and salary was not a big deal in the first place. He Sorotuk has done a lot of things to withhold military salaries and land. But now the army is on the march. These salaries were used to purchase medicinal herbs and grain for the army. There are still people who are tired of playing at this juncture. That's a bit unkind.

You must know that the soldiers and troops are very tight when they go out to fight on the land. How many people and how much food. The cost is calculated without missing a bit. You took away more than ten thousand taels of silver. There will be thousands of soldiers fighting for you hungry. Thereupon. In a fit of rage, he delayed the date of the grain shipment. The lock took a few guards of the treasury and the pen type. Finally, he inquired about the prefect of Chengdu, the place where the food and salary were allocated. I don't know if I don't check it. A check really scared Sorotu a lot. This battle-eating land is no one else. It was the newly appointed governor of Qiqihar.

"it. This rice bucket. Sorotu was on the verge of jumping to his feet and cursing. The governor, who didn't understand anything, first rushed out his troops. He didn't even understand the unspoken rules of not deducting military salaries during war.

Then Sorotu began to be afraid. Food and wages are insufficient. There will be trouble in the soldiers' places. It's okay to make trouble on weekdays. It's over with a single snap. But this is a war. One is not good. Some people defected. Or inciting a mutiny in the middle of the night. There is no need to fight. Your own ground will be in chaos. There are 100,000 troops in three provinces. Once defeated. The court pursued it. Not only he, Qiqihar, the governor, wants to raid his family and exterminate his family. He is the governor of Sichuan. Even if it is a child of the yellow belt of the clan, I am afraid that it will not be able to escape death.

Thinking of this layer, Sorotu found himself drenched in cold sweat. No way! This matter must be reported to the court first, and Qiqihar, the bastard's ass, must be wiped by himself, and the deficit must be made up, otherwise everyone will finish the impeachment together, and let people pass it on urgently for 600 miles. On the other hand, he begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother to run into the governor's yamen, and begged the governor of Sichuan to pay some silver grain to come out for emergency relief.

More than 30,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, and the governor is in charge of civil affairs, and even if he has money, he must not move it. This is a custom of the imperial court, plus you are a feudal official who spends silver grain to the army without the imperial court's land survey. Maybe someone will impeach you for trying to win the hearts of the military and have bad intentions. In the Great Qing Dynasty. Civilian officials generally don't dare to touch the army easily, basically whoever touches it will die, especially you, the feudal official, many people in the prefectural governor in order to avoid suspicion, even the military attache has to pull a large number of people to be present. What's more, it was the opening of the treasury without any will from the imperial court to take silver to fill the deficit for the army.

The governor was pestered by Sorotu for a few days, but he didn't dare to let go, and finally simply kicked the ball to the Chengdu prefect, the residence of the Chengdu prefect is in the city, and he also has treasury silver, you go to him.

Sorotu had no choice but to run to the prefect overnight. The prefect is not a fool, this is a matter of losing his head, your Bei Ziye is a relative of the emperor. Someone bears the burden of something, and Lao Tzu is also a fame that he has earned for ten years. can't be tossed by you, so I made a dead pig not afraid of boiling water. If you just don't agree, it's useless for you to come a few times. Even if you move to the house of the lower official to live permanently, it is four words - no money.

Sorotu finally despaired, the warehouse in Sichuan could not get money, so he could only make up for it himself, Sorotu was ruthless, and took out his own savings of more than 16,000 taels to fill in, from now on, he became a poor egg, and even the house in Chengdu was exchanged for cash, no matter what, a few more silver will have less chance of mutiny, as long as you keep your head, this money can always be earned back.

"His grandmother's Qiqihar, this brute bastard, dares to come out to lead the troops even if he doesn't understand anything, and even dares to deduct military salaries in wartime, so that you Lao Tzu will wipe this ass." In the midst of swearing, Sorotu's food convoy finally set off four days later.

When Sorotu arrived at the ground, a few knights immediately came quickly, these people Sorotu is a place of acquaintance, it is Qiqihar from the capital brought a few house slaves, now it is the governor's palace personal soldiers, the first one to Sorotu unceremoniously arched his hand: "Lord Suo, Lord Governor asked you to go to the big tent to question." ”

Sorotu nodded, ordered a small colonel beside him, asked him to take over the grain team, turned over and got on his horse, but saw that these Qiqihar house slaves had not left after conveying the order, and he couldn't help but be a little angry in his heart: "Admiral Ben will naturally go, you wait here, is it possible that Admiral Ben is your governor's prisoner, do you still need to escort him?" ”

The pro-soldier at the head smiled and replied: "Master Bei is laughing, you are a golden branch and jade leaf, where do we dare to bet you." When he said this, the smile of the pro-soldier turned into a sneer: "It's just that Lord Admiral delayed the military plane, and Lord Governor is angry, and ordered us to bring Lord Admiral, offended!" ”

"Okay, this brute deducted his military salary, let the master wipe his ass for him, and turned around and blamed the master for delaying the fighter." Sorotu scolded in his heart: "Is this still a human being? I want to see what tricks he is going to play today. ”

"Let's go." Sorotu had already mounted his horse, glared at a pair of pro-knights out of the corner of his eye, and commanded disdainfully.

More than a dozen war horses, more than a dozen knights galloped wildly, and a burst of dust rose behind them, Sorotu's horse was fast, and he caught up with those few soldiers at once, rushed to the front from the tail of the team, and the hand holding the reins hooked a green tendon, this time he was really angry, since the governor came to Sichuan, he was trampled under the feet of this person, from Liwei to deducting military salaries, first let people beat their own military sticks, this is not enough, he Sorotu ignored the officials, was caught, and beat him. When he set out on the expedition, he was actually instructed by that person to transport military rations, and he endured all of this, and the officials crushed people to death, which he could deeply understand. But now this brute has deducted his military salary for war, he Sorotu wiped his ass for him, and when he arrived here, he was unceremoniously invited to the big tent, and I am afraid that this is another incident, Sorotu intends to simply tear his face with this governor, he wants to see what this brute dares to use against himself.

As he galloped his horse, Sorotu couldn't help but look down at his waist, the golden belt around his waist was constantly fluttering in the fast horse's wind, and Sorotu couldn't help but show a smile.

Except for the Zongren Mansion, no one can do anything to him. (To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please log in**, more chapters,
