Chapter 775 Yao Zongzhong's "Clever Move"
These days, Yang Sichang has been collecting money and is very busy.
He couldn't sleep even more when he saw a group of former peasant army leaders such as "Breaking the Sky" and "Shooting the Sky" stationed in Xiangyang.
After thinking about it, Yang Sichang decided to go to the imperial court and asked the imperial court to give him a seal called "General Seal of the Ping Thief".
He gave this seal to You Shilu, who had just suffered defeat and lost the seal of the general army, and relied on You Shilu and his soldiers and horses to deter a group of descendants.
Descending - The soldiers of the peasant army surrendering to the imperial court, similar to Yiding.
Since Yang Sichang didn't know that Yang Chengying had gone to Changchun Fort and was still in the middle of playing, he hoped that Chongzhen would send someone to find Yang Chengying and borrow a team of soldiers and horses to come to Xiangyang.
And said to borrow it for one year and return it after one year.
Chongzhen laughed when he saw it.
"Your Majesty, the matter of borrowing troops, the minister doesn't need to mention it."
Wen Tiren was rarely sensible: "Yang Chengying is not in Shenyang, and others dare not transfer troops to the Guannei." ”
"I know it's impossible." Chongzhen said, "However, the matter of the seal of the general of the thief can be allowed." ”
"Your Majesty......" Wen Tiren wanted to speak and stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"This seal is unlucky, but it was owned by Qiu Yue back then. Qiu Yue was notorious, and after his death, the seal letter was shelved. ”
"It's okay, anyway, You Shiwei won't know about it, so I'll hand over the seal of the Ping Thief General to Yang Sichang. I hope that You Shiwei will be grateful for my promotion and exterminate the thief in one fell swoop. ”
The emperor said so, but Wen Tiren didn't say anything.
Chongzhen not only gave the seal, but also gave money, and he scraped together some silver and transported it to the front.
Responsible for transporting this military salary and the thief general Yin to Xiangyang, it is the Beijing camp.
The army was 11,000 people, with Sun Yingyuan as the general soldier, Zhang Yilong as the deputy general soldier, and the eunuch Lu Jiude as the supervising army.
Sun Yingyuan, the general of Jingying.
Soon after Yuan Chonghuan's death, Chongzhen used Ma Dengyun, who had fled back from Houjin, as a training general, and through training, he trained an army like that.
Sun Yingyuan is the commander of this army.
The army and the silver were still on the way, and Yang Sichang had already heard the wind and was overjoyed.
He ordered someone to call You Shilu.
"Your Majesty has transferred an army with a number of about 10,000 people, and escorted 500,000 taels of silver, which is already on the way."
Yang Sichang said.
You Shilu was overjoyed when he heard this: "With this silver, you can make up the military salary, reorganize the team, and then fight the thieves." ”
"That's it."
Yang Sichang said: "We can't be idle, the six thousand messy Dingding has not been reorganized so far, and you need to be responsible for this." ”
"Subordinate...... The cabinet department is not a subordinate shirk, but a subordinate who is not good at reorganizing this miscellaneous army. ”
What You Shilu said was actually a lie.
The real reason for refusing to take the job is that there is no money.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, not to mention that this gang has knives in their hands and the number of peasant soldiers twice as many as themselves.
Yang Sichang didn't care about this: "I only have you as a trustworthy general at the moment, and you must organize these degraders!" ”
"That'...... Ask the cabinet to allocate a sum of money to his subordinates, and he can't do it without money. ”
You Shilu hurriedly said.
"Silver? How can there be any silver in the hands of the main hall, even if it is the silver allocated by the imperial court, it must first purchase grain, grass and horse fodder, and purchase ordnance. ”
In short, Yang Sichang just said that if he wants money, he won't give his life.
You Shilu was dumbfounded, how can this be organized.
After coming out of the Governor's Mansion, You Shilu walked aimlessly and had a headache.
He didn't even ride a horse, he just walked.
"Good luck and bad luck, you can know it at a time. This guest officer, when I see that your seal hall is black, I must have encountered something difficult. ”
Hearing the voice, You Shilu looked up and saw that it was him.
The middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest in front of him, a Taoist with the Taoist name Lengshui, his real name is Yao Zongzhong.
It is the celebrity in front of Yang Sichang.
Yang Sichang once sent him a secret visit to Luo Rucai, hoping to let them know their way back.
temporarily stabilized Luo Rucai.
Knowing that this was a strange person, You Shilu didn't dare to slack off, and invited Yao Zongzhong to go to the teahouse to drink tea.
You Shilu asked for a private room on the second floor, and the two sat down facing each other.
"Dao Chief, I can hear the words you just said clearly."
You Shilu hugged his fists and said: "Since the Taoist chief knows the reason, there must be a solution, I implore the Taoist chief to dial one or two, and I am grateful." ”
Yao Zongzhong was silent.
You Shilu sent it, and hurriedly took out a silver ingot from his pocket and put it on the table.
Yao Zongzhong still didn't say a word.
You Shilu knew this person's methods, gritted his teeth, and took out another ingot of silver.
I didn't know that Yao Zongzhong was still silent.
You Shilu had no choice but to say: "Although the two brothers are both general soldiers, their families are not rich. If the old fairy refuses to say, I will go back to collect money, even if I smash the pot and sell iron, I will get enough silver until the old fairy is satisfied. ”
Only then did Yao Zongzhong speak: "It's a joke, this silver is enough to spend a while." As he spoke, he put the silver in his poster bag.
You Shilu breathed a sigh of relief.
Yao Zongzhong said: "The reason why the general made a mistake is that he didn't dare. You have been following Inspector Yuan for too long, and your brain is pedantic. ”
"The old fairy means ......"
"What are the origins of the six thousand soldiers under the name of the overseer? Farmer only. They have never seen the world, so it is not difficult to reorganize them, but the difficulty is the general's demons. ”
"My demons? Where does this begin? ”
"Governor Yuan is strict in governing the army and has a degree of law, but what is the basis of all this? Have you seriously thought about it? ”
Yao Zongzhong said: "These two words are silver!" ”
You Shilu listened carefully, and realized something in his heart.
Yao Zongzhong continued: "Inspector Yuan was dismissed, and he mutiny occurred just a few months after he left, why is this?
It was because as soon as Inspector Yuan left, the imperial court owed Guan Ningjun five months' salary.
The Inspector returned and quelled the mutiny of the Guanning Army. The success is not only because the superintendent himself is very prestigious, but also because the court has made up for the money. ”
You Shilu knows this story very clearly.
Later, the supervisor asked Yang Chengying to borrow more than one million taels of silver, ready to show his skills.
Unexpectedly, immediately after the Tartar entered the plug, the superintendent was killed.
After another period of time, most of the Guanning Army was incorporated into the Liaodong Army.
The past of the future, when recalled, makes people feel infinite emotion.
Yao Zongzhong nodded: "The general doesn't have any silver in his hand, but someone has it in his hand, but the general refuses to take it." Poor Dao said, the general's inner demon, refers to this. ”
You Shilu's eyes lit up, and his face showed horror: "The Taoist chief wants me to rob the people and use the people's property to raise soldiers!" ”
"That's right! Gucheng County was once the place where Zhang Xianzhong was stationed, and the local people received a lot of benefits from Zhang Xianzhong. These ignorant fools should be punished severely! ”
"No...... No way! ”
You Shilu got up and decisively decided: "How to do this kind of thing, Zhang Xianzhong is not far from Gucheng County, and if he does that kind of thing, he will push the people to Zhang Xianzhong's side." ”
Yao Zongzhong said: "There is a general with the same name and different surname as you, he did not rob a large family, but he was labeled as 'harassing the people'.
Who this general is, you must be clear. Compared with him, the other Qinwang Army, which one did not rob the people, but relied on the plundering to get to the Beijing Division, and became a famous bullshit general.
General You, you have to think deeply. If you can't do this, the only thing that will be recorded in the annals of history in the future is that you were beaten by the thieves and lost the seal of the chief soldier, and not today's conversations. ”
You Shilu faltered.
