1043 Jinju uproar
Although war can achieve the ambitions of princes and generals, most of the harm it brings to the general public, so few ordinary people will like war.
Although Wang Weican, the king of Changle in the Northern Qi Dynasty, who was in Jinzhou, was not a common man, his anti-war and war-weariness was stronger than that of ordinary people, and it had reached the level of deep hatred.
Especially when the Jinyang people and horses rushed to Yedu in Hebei through Jinzhou, Wei Cang's disgust for the war was overflowing, and even he didn't like these Jinyang soldiers who were about to go to the battlefield, and he was quite lazy about the work of receiving the transit division and brigade.
"King Qiyu, the Ulju division and brigade must use 600 war horses, and millet and forage must also be provided by the Jinju treasury......
The military officials who had crossed the border came to the state capital with documents for the allocation of supplies, hoping that Wei Cang would be able to arrange the allocation.
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wei Cang's impatient wave of his hand, and at the same time he said angrily, "No, not at all! There are no horses, no materials, Lao Tzu sits in the border city, how much state affairs do you work every day, is it just to feed the horses and prepare for you thieves? And what about the military order of the cavalry province! Even though Tang Yong is in person, Lao Tzu just doesn't give it!"
No wonder Wei Cang was dissatisfied in his heart, a large number of Jinyang people and horses crossed the border, Jinzhou, as an important transit place, not only had to provide a large number of food supplies, armaments and rods, but also the arrangement of camping sites, and the transportation of cattle and horses, which made the state affairs that were originally quite idle several times.
Wei Cang was not a shrewd and capable person, and he didn't worry much about serious affairs in the state in the past, but now a large number of things poured into his desk, and the entry and exit documents almost buried him directly. This is simply a torture for those who are used to idleness!
If these affairs can still be shirked, or simply handed over to subordinate government officials to deal with, then there is another thing that makes Wei Cang completely unbearable.
The crossing of so many people and horses directly destroyed the originally stable state border situation, and the originally very prosperous commercial trade was directly and completely stopped!
For Wei Cang, every day when trading in the border market stops, it will cause huge losses, which is simply unbearable!
Especially before, in order to keep his position as the assassin of Jinzhou, he had just bribed a large number of goods to Jinyang and Yedu, and was planning to quickly get it back to make up for the shortfall, but he didn't want such a thing to happen again, and wreak havoc on the business environment of the border market that he had managed to maintain.
"Sima eliminated this dog thief, where did the court thin him, he rebelled and joined the thief, he really deserves to die! The Qiang thief is also a thief with an undying heart and insatiable greed, and if he is provoked a little, he will attack again, he really deserves to die! The people in charge of the DPRK and China are really incompetent, they can't detect the rebellion as soon as possible, stop it in advance, and can't scare off the strong enemy and prevent the attack, so they really deserve to die!"
Wei Cang's heart was full of complaints and complaints, in his opinion, anyone who disturbed him to make money deserved to die, including the current emperor: "The Supreme fought in the south and the north in the old years, and what kind of Mingtang did he fight again? It is impossible to stop a strong enemy from attacking, and it is also necessary to fight at the expense of the people and money...... In the past, I didn't know where the benefits were when I expanded so many territories, and what a loss it was for the Qiang thieves to fight for it and abandon it......
Of course, he still didn't dare to complain in public in the latter paragraph, but only dared to say it in private to vent his dissatisfaction.
In order to restore order in the state as usual, he directly ordered the transit divisions and brigades not to stay in the state for a long time, and to order expulsion once a certain time limit was exceeded.
Fortunately, the order received by these horses was to rush to Yedu as soon as possible, and to continue the march after a short stop in Jinju, but there was no great conflict on this issue.
But there is one problem that is more serious, and that is that many troops are hastily requisitioned, and need to obtain supplies and armor and canes along the way. As an important geographical center, Jinju itself has such a function, and many strategic materials are stored in Jinju, so some armies can only form combat effectiveness if they are allocated ordnance in Jinju.
However, since Wei Cang entered the state, he has been concentrating on making money every day, and it is inevitable that he will not be attentive and negligent in managing other affairs. Many ordnance needs regular maintenance and cleaning, and once there is no maintenance, it will quickly corrode and damage.
So when some of the generals, after some curry favor and pleading, total
He received the armor needed by his troops, but when he looked at it, he found that the armor was all rusty, and the blades and arrows were dull, and his heart was full of resentment.
Those who were able to obtain the ordnance were lucky, because in addition to the lack of proper maintenance and management of the arsenal and ordnance, some of the arsenals simply did not have any ordnance at all, and were vacated for storage of various commercial goods. And those armies who can't even receive the remnants of the rusty iron are naturally dumbfounded, and they can't go to the front line empty-handed, right?
Originally, the war was imminent, and the soldiers were more or less uneasy in their hearts, after all, this time it was Li Boshan of the Western Wei Dynasty who had repeatedly defeated them. As a result, on the way to the battlefield, they were treated so harshly and harshly, and the indignation of the soldiers can be imagined.
However, due to the deep background and high power of King Changle, although these people were quite dissatisfied in their hearts, they still did not dare to be rude at the beginning, and could only plead repeatedly, hoping that King Changle could be sympathetic to the soldiers and make up for the armor.
However, Wei Cang's mood was also depressed, and he didn't take it seriously at all of these demands, but just sneered, "There is no other place in the great power to withdraw weapons? The magnates of Yedu are above the top and afraid of the enemy like tigers, and they hurriedly recruit divisions and brigades to enter the court to defend the palace, can they still shorten the armor and staff of you thieves?
I am willing to provide food and food felt tents so that you can rest in the state, which is already worried about the danger of the country and the care of high righteousness. If you are still insatiable and want to force something else, don't blame me for being ruthless and banishing you and others out of the country!"
As one of the top Jinyang nobles, Wei Cang was naturally not afraid of these arrogant soldiers, and after glaring and reprimanding, he ordered all those who entered the palace and pleaded out of the city.
The soldiers begged to no avail, and they were all indignant. Seeing that Wei Cang was so arrogant and arrogant, some of them simply gathered some of their companions and directly seized an arsenal outside White Horse City, looting all the goods and goods piled up inside.
When Wei Cang learned of this, he was furious, and when he summoned the state army to rush here, surrounded the sergeants who participated in the robbery, and ordered them to return their belongings. As a result, the crowd naturally became more angry, and some of the soldiers who were still forbearance also joined in after seeing this, and directly surrounded Wei Cang and his subordinates.
"You thieves, do you want to rebel!"
Seeing this, Wei Cang was furious, surrounded by the protection of his own soldiers, and pointed at the angry Jinyang soldiers around him and scolded loudly.
"How dare the last general and others offend the king, but they are only urged by the command, and they can't help themselves. I beg the king to give him a scepter, so that the last general and others can kill the enemy for the country! If the king still refuses to show mercy, the anger of the people will be uncontrollable!"
A general stood in the midst of the chaos and shouted to Wei Cang for final persuasion.
At this time, another group of people and horses in the city galloped out, and stopped when they were still dozens of feet away from the scene of the riot, and the leader was the governor of Jinju Town, named Xian Yu Shirong.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Xian Yu Shirong did not dare to make any more provocative moves, and shouted loudly from a distance: "You and other soldiers have also made meritorious contributions to killing the enemy this time, and now they have not arrived at the battlefield and are in chaos in the country first, how can it be wise!" The governors will quickly lead the troops back to the camp, and the king of Changle is a noble relative of the country, and he will not pursue the offense of you, and will immediately check the arsenal of the official warehouse, and issue a cane as soon as possible!"
Seeing that the situation was so restless, Wei Cang was also a little panicked for a while, and he was no longer as tough as before, and hurriedly nodded and echoed Xian Yu Shirong's words: "Not bad, not bad! You are about to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, don't make a mistake about yourself, the former government officials did things inappropriately, and when I return to the government, I will punish you and others, and I will definitely make up for your assets!"
Jinyang soldiers have been maintained for many years, and they also have their own set of rules and orders internally, when they saw that Wei Cang had bowed his head and admitted his mistakes and was willing to make amends, the anger in the hearts of the soldiers subsided slightly, and they returned to the camp one after another under the guidance of several generals.
"How can it be! These thieves are so bold that they should be punished severely!"
When the group dispersed and Wei Cang was able to return to the city, he could not help but curse, and ordered the soldiers who participated in the looting of his treasury to be captured into the city.
However, Xian Yu Shirong, Mo Duo Lou Jingxian and several other members of the state government all spoke: "The king please stop his anger for the time being, the current plan is to meet the Qiang thieves.
And the Supreme has also returned to Jinyang to sit in the town, if Jinzhou delays the military plane here and provokes the Supreme to ask for the guilt, then it will be difficult for some of the people involved to escape the blame!"
When Wei Cang heard this, he couldn't help but tremble in his heartstrings, and he didn't dare to say anything more. Back then, in the Northern Qi Dynasty, he dared to ask for the prince for his father, because the cruelty and tyranny of the Supreme had not yet been revealed, and now after seeing the many murderous methods of the Qi lord, he was no longer as tough as he was back then.
"But now that the arsenal is seriously lacking, where can we find it for the army?"
It is still difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and there is a lot of emptiness in the arsenal, Wei Cang originally wanted to prevaricate the past by playing cross, but now he can't cope with it, and he can't conjure up a large number of armor staff materials out of thin air.
After hearing this, everyone present frowned and fell silent, and after a while, Zhencheng Xian Yu Shirong spoke: "It's better to use a batch of the military treasury in Chengzhong Prefecture first, and after sending the transit division and brigade away, then find another way to replenish the treasury."
"But, but if you embezzle the state military treasury, it will make the city's storage urgent!"
After Mo Duo Lou Jingxian heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said.
When Wei Cang heard this, he waved his hand irritably and said, "Fang Jin, the two countries are about to fight in Heluo, how much do you need for the city defense here!" Open the arsenal in the city, and send these pestilences away!"
