“.......”

After slashing Hong Tianjue with a knife, the scene immediately quieted down.

These soldiers didn't expect Zhang Rui to be so decisive in killing, and a deputy military master said that he would kill him, which made them tremble and be afraid.

"Brothers, you have seen it too."

"Hong Tianjue deducted your food subsidies and exploited your money in a different way, his behavior has seriously affected the morale of our two Huai troops, for this reason, General Ben has to kill him."

"Also, General Ben took advantage of Hong Tianjue's matter to set up a rule here, if anyone dares to stretch out his hand to the army who is greedy for money and makes money, then no matter who he is, he must be severely punished."

"No one is exempt."

Zhang Rui said loudly.

"No!"

The soldiers naturally cheered happily, and Zhang Rui's rules were also for their good and to protect their rights and interests.

Their senses for Zhang Rui are getting better and better.

A general who can call the shots for them, this is a good general in their minds, plus Zhang Rui, a general, is still very brave and good at using soldiers, and his prestige is simply a rocket-like increase.

"Long live the General!"

For a while, many soldiers began to shout frantically for Zhang Rui, and even shouted long live.

It can be seen that he has won the hearts of the people.

Da!

Da!

Da!

It is said that the commotion here in the third battalion of the Shenhu Army quickly attracted the military master of the Shenhu Army and all the high-level leaders of the two Huai battalions such as Zhang Yuanlong.

As soon as these people came in and saw Zhang Rui, they first saluted, and then looked at Hong Tianjue, who was on the ground, and knew that it must have been this guy who annoyed Zhang Rui, or he committed a crime.

"Lord Shizi, are you okay?"

Zhang Yuanlong asked with a smile.

He now regards Zhang Rui as his reborn parents, and the common interests of the two have made them allies, support each other, help each other, and get promoted and rich together.

"Ladies and gentlemen, when this son of the world inspected the army today, he found some bad things and cleaned up some bad people."

"Now that all of you military masters have come, this prince has just taken this opportunity to announce a rule I just set. From now on, anyone who dares to infringe upon and harm the interests of the vast number of officers and men, no matter how big his official position or background, will be severely punished. ”

"This is an iron law, and whoever violates this law will be punished by all."

"After you military masters go back, immediately check the battalion headquarters under your command, whether there is anything similar, if so, it is best to correct it quickly, if I find out again, then you will weigh the consequences yourself."

Zhang Rui said.

This is to set an example for the chickens and monkeys, and he wants to take the opportunity to rectify the unhealthy tendencies in the army.

We must not let the stinky problems of officialdom also spread to the big battalions in the army, these bad practices will be like a small ant on a thousand-mile embankment, looking small, but extremely harmful.

"No!"

Zhang Yuanlong and the other military masters immediately said that they would obey the order, and of course they would not go against Zhang Rui, because the consequences were very serious.

In the past, there were Fan Yang, Ning Wuchou and the like, and now there is this unlucky deputy army lord Hong Tianjue, this is their negative example, and they naturally dare not mess around.

Afterwards.

Zhang Rui asked the fat man Magui to confess all his crimes, including the fact that the mastermind behind it was Hong Tianjue, and when he saw Zhang Rui beheading Hong Tianjue, he didn't dare to hide it.

For the first time, he deeply understood what it means to be capricious in power.

A dignified deputy military lord was cut by Zhang Rui like this, which feels like a child's play.

The reason is not because Zhang Rui is a senior official sent by the imperial court, the son of the British prince Zhang Shize, and the most favored celebrity around Jun Chongzhen, so Zhang Rui can do whatever he wants, and no one can do anything to him.

"The prince killed well, a bastard like Hong Tianjue, deducted the soldier's food allowance, and cleverly set up a name to earn ill-gotten gains, so it was too cheap for him to die so easily."

"This kind of dog thief, it's best to cut him with a thousand knives and divide his body into five horses."

"Shizi, don't worry."

"I will definitely carefully screen and deal with any similar situation if I find it."

Xu Zhongyu, the military leader of the Divine Tiger Army, said.

He is also a veteran military master, and like Zhang Yuanlong, he has always remained neutral.

"When I go back, I will strictly follow the instructions of the prince, seriously investigate and deal with similar situations, and give the brothers justice."

The rest of the army lords said.

"Good!"

"Also, Vice Marshal Zhang, Master Xu, you are responsible for accounting for the losses of your brothers, and you must make up for it appropriately."

"You count first, and when you're done, I'll approve the slips."

"The same is true of your other armies and battalions, once the interests of your brothers are harmed, they must be compensated, and we must not let my Ming soldiers shed blood and tears."

"Got it?"

Zhang Rui said.

"Lord Shizi, this, I'm afraid it's a little difficult, and now the financial situation of the Lianghuai camp is extremely bad, I'm afraid there is no extra money to issue subsidies."

Zhang Yuanlong, as the deputy marshal, is responsible for the daily work, so he naturally knows the financial situation of the battalion.

"How much worse?"

Zhang Rui asked.

"If you go back to the prince, the imperial court and the Lianghuai region have not paid military salaries for three months, and now they still owe three months' military salaries."

"There's a lot of miscellaneous expenses owed."

"At present, the total shortfall is about 370,000 taels of silver."

Zhang Yuanlong said helplessly.

A penny is hard to beat a hero.

He Zhang Yuanlong is an expert in fighting, but he really can't get money, he has urged the court and the local government many times, and it has always been delayed under various excuses.

"Three hundred and seventy thousand taels!"

"Not a problem."

"This sum of money will be found for you, and you will count the relevant data as soon as possible."

"Remember, you can't conceal it, you can't underreport, you must seek truth from facts."

Zhang Rui instructed.

To be honest, he didn't expect that even the two Huai camps were in arrears, which made him feel cold and cold, and an inexplicable pressure reminded him again that the problems of the Ming Kingdom were already difficult to return to, and they were full of holes.

He still has a long way to go.

(A long way to go)

"No!"

Zhang Yuanlong said.

As soon as he heard that Zhang Rui promised to solve the money problem for him, the corners of his mouth bloomed.

"Ma Gui and others are also involved in Hong Tianjue's case, although they are not the masterminds, but they are also accomplices, and they were also coerced, confiscated their illegal gains, distributed border land, and went to the mine as slaves for eight years."

Zhang Rui said.

This is already an extrajudicial favor, otherwise, none of them will be able to escape the punishment of beheading.

"Xie Shizi, General Xie!"

Ma Gui and the others hurriedly thanked Zhang Rui for not killing.

This is the end of a turmoil.

On the afternoon of this day, the 10 armies of the two large battalions of the two Huai Battalions all began a half-day self-examination operation, and this vigorous operation, although short-lived, was of epoch-making significance.

Some unreasonable violations have been canceled because of this, not only that, but many things have also been put in order, and the grievances of 200,000 soldiers for many years have also been released, and they have regained confidence in the Ming court.

At sunset.

Zhang Rui personally set up a banquet, invited all the military attachés, gathered together, got to know each other, socialized, everyone gags, chatted nonsense, did not ask about official affairs, only talked about Fengyue.

"Come, everybody, drink."

Zhang Rui is also very happy.

This trip to Lianghuai has been able to go smoothly until now, and he has to admit that all this has an element of gambling, and it is also because King Fu and Huang Degong are careless, and they are caught off guard by him.

"Shizi, something big has happened."

Dong Guosheng suddenly came to Zhang Rui and gently reported some things in his ear.

About Zhou Peigong.
