Chapter 186: The Guardian for the Better
On the school ground, Wang Yong, the temporary prefect of the guard station appointed by Tan Lun before, was taking the soldiers of the guard post to practice.
"When the two armies were fighting, there was not much difference in equipment, morale, and numbers, one side was in a tight formation, and the other side was extremely scattered and did not form a formation."
"There is no doubt that the end result must be a victory for the close-knit side! This will greatly increase your chances of surviving the battlefield. ”
Wang Yong said and corrected the movements of the soldiers on the side.
Just as he wanted to continue practicing, his eyes caught a glimpse of Tan Lun and his party.
"My subordinates have seen the governor!"
Wang Yong immediately ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot, and then trotted all the way to Tan Lun's front and said respectfully.
"Well, you did a good job, you turned the tide around so quickly, this official didn't look at the wrong person!"
Tan Lun turned his gaze to the person who came and said encouragingly.
"Where, all this is thanks to the Governor! If it weren't for the Governor, our money would not have been settled. ”
For Tan Lun's praise, Wang Yong seemed a little flattered, and hurriedly said modestly.
"Gather everyone together, I have something to announce to you next."
Immediately after that, Tan Lun turned his gaze to the soldiers on the other side of the school and commanded softly.
"Yes, Lord Governor! The subordinates then ordered to go down. ”
After Wang Yong said that, he ordered his subordinates to go and beat the drum and gather troops!
This time, the soldiers gathered quickly, and before the third drum sounded, they were all assembled.
Tan Lun looked at the audience, the ranks were neat, the silence was abnormal, and there was a faint aura of slaughter in the soldiers, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.
"This is much better than the last time, and we really have to solve the problem of the silver as soon as possible!"
After Tan Lun sighed in his heart, he cleared his throat, turned his gaze to the soldiers in the audience, and said loudly.
"This official is Tan Lun, the governor of Fujian, presumably most of you already know this official!"
"This official is here this time because there are two things I want to announce to you."
After Tan Lun finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and saw that the faces of the soldiers in the audience were full of expectation, so he said slowly.
"The first thing this official wants to say is related to your salary."
Seeing Tan Lun mention the issue of salary that everyone is quite concerned about, everyone in the audience was in their throats, they were both excited and afraid!
Afraid that their expectations would be disappointed, that the governor in front of them would betray their trust.
It's just that the next words that came out of Tan Lun's mouth did not disappoint them.
"Before this, the official has already counted the arrears of your salaries, and personally wrote a letter to send it to the cabinet, urging them to allocate the money as soon as possible!"
"Count the days, I should have reached the cabinet."
"Therefore, you don't have to worry, the arrears will be paid in full at that time!"
After Tan Lun finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little dry, and the personal guard on the side saw this and hurriedly handed him a bowl of tea.
Tan Lun took the teacup and drank all the tea in the cup.
And the soldiers in the audience, after hearing the news, were first dead silent, and then erupted into a burst of enthusiastic cheers.
"Silence!"
Wang Yong turned around, looked at the soldiers in the audience, and said in a deep voice.
As soon as Wang Yong's words fell, the soldiers in the audience were silent, but there was still an excited expression on their faces.
If these soldiers were still suspicious before, now Tan Lun's words have completely dispelled their doubts! It's equivalent to giving them a shot in the arm.
After all, not every official takes their demands to heart, maybe they agree today, and forget about them tomorrow.
"Thank you, Governor, for calling the shots for us!"
Wang Yong, who was on the side, said and took the lead in kneeling down.
"Thank you, Governor, for calling the shots for us!"
After Wang Yong, the remaining soldiers also knelt on the ground, their faces full of respect, and their eyes looking at Tan Lun were a little more fanatical.
For these soldiers, Tan Lun is their savior! Not only is we willing to listen to their demands, but we are also down-to-earth and step by step to solve these problems.
Not to mention anything else, Tan Lun dared to make a promise to these soldiers, promising to make up all the arrears within a month, otherwise he would resign from the post of governor of Fujian.
This kind of courage is also very rare when looking at the entire officialdom.
And this just confirms that sentence: "If you treat me as a countryman, I will repay me with a countryman!" ”
"Get up, you are all soldiers of my Ming Dynasty, these are what this official should do! Next, I hope that you will work hard and better serve the court. ”
Tan Lun also seemed to be infected by this emotion, looked at the soldiers in the audience, and said loudly.
"We will obey the orders of the Governor!"
Hearing Tan Lun's words, the soldiers in the audience responded loudly.
"This is only the first thing, and I have one more thing to announce next."
Tan Lun suppressed the emotions in his heart, looked around, and said slowly.
"Your Excellency Governor, give an order, whether it is on the Sword Mountain or under the Sea of Fire, the brothers will not frown!"
Seeing this, Wang Yong on the side immediately knelt down on one knee and asked Tan Lun.
"Yes, Governor, give the order!"
After Wang Yong, the soldiers in the audience also followed closely behind.
"Don't worry, the official hasn't finished talking yet!"
Tan Lun was not upset that everyone interrupted his speech, in his opinion, this was a sign of high morale, and the military spirit was available!
"Next, this official wants to give you a chance to make meritorious contributions and receive rewards for your meritorious contributions."
Tan Lun's voice was not loud, but it made the faces of the soldiers in the audience show excited expressions.
"The governor said that he wanted to give us a chance to make a contribution, what else could it be? Of course, it is to kill people, to kill the enemies of the imperial court, to kill the enemies of the official government!! ”
Sure enough, Tan Lun's words next were exactly the same as they guessed.
"As you all know, Fujian suffered from the Japanese Rebellion before, although it was later exterminated by this official and Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang! But there are still some remnants. ”
"And this part of the remnants of the Japanese bandits, in collusion with the local bandits, is becoming more and more rampant!"
"These bandits not only wantonly killed the people, but also robbed them of their belongings, and even worse, they even hit the government with their ideas! At present, these bandits have become a moss disease in Fujian. ”
"For the sake of the people of Fujian, this official will lead a large army in the near future to eradicate all these bandits entrenched in Fujian!"
Tan Lun paused for a moment when he said this, and then added.
"The proceeds of this seizure do not have to be handed over! All those who participated in the battle were given double salaries, and in addition, those who unfortunately died in the battle could not only receive double pensions, but their families could also be properly resettled by the government! ”
"If you have children in the family, when you reach the right age, you can study in the righteous school run by the government, and if there are elderly people in the family, the government will fund and support them, and they will be supported by the government!"
"Okay, that's all the officials have to explain today, do you have any different opinions?"
After Tan Lun finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the many soldiers in the audience and asked.
"Dare to ask the governor, is it really necessary to hand over the proceeds of this seizure? Is it true that there is also a double salary and a pension? ”
I saw Wang Yong on the side plucking up his courage and confirming to Tan Lun.
When Tan Lun heard this, he glanced at Wang Yong quite strangely, and then said loudly to the many soldiers in the audience.
"In his capacity as the governor of Fujian, this official assures you that all this is true!"
Seeing that Tan Lun, the governor of Fujian, was assured, the soldiers in the audience were already boiling.
Today's Fujian Governor Tan Lun brought two pieces of news that were too dreamy for them.
First of all, the salary that he has been in arrears for a long time has been resolved, and secondly, the soldiers who participated in this crackdown on bandits do not have to hand over the seized proceeds while distributing double salaries! If you are unfortunately killed, there will be double the pension, and the family does not have to worry about it.
Thinking of this, the soldiers in the audience were about to be unable to suppress the excitement in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to suppress the bandits tomorrow!
