This time, although they didn't have any stolen goods, they got this batch of armor.

But if this batch of armor was allocated to Liaodong, and Yuan Yingtai, the governor of Liaodong, insisted that he did not receive it, then it would be impossible for the account of the Arsenal Division to be settled.

But if you want to pierce this layer of window paper of the Arsenal Division, you must go to the Beijing Division.

Li Xianzhong, as a border general, naturally couldn't leave easily, and in order to avoid trouble, he could only let Li Sanshun go to Beijing for him.

Of course, Li Sanshun, as a general of Tieling, could not easily leave his post without permission, and he went to the military department with a mission this time.

In recent days, Li Xianzhong sent a document to the military department to ask for a reward for silver in three days, and the people in the military department were unwilling to open it when they saw the urgent report sent by Kaiyuan.

Regarding Li Sanshun's arrival, the military department naturally did not have a good face.

He was hung in the lobby of the Ministry of War for two hours, and waited from the afternoon until dark, not only did he not see Huang Jiashan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, but he didn't even drink.

In the end, Liu Wenzai couldn't see it anymore, so he served tea to Li Sanshun.

Liu Wenzai said: "General Li, it's useless for you to see Huang Shangshu. The head of General Li Bing, our military department, quickly gave the verification results, and now the household department can't get the money. ”

Li Sanshun said: "We can only ask the Ministry of War for silver, and we can't go over the Ministry of War to ask for money directly from the Ministry of Households, we have to worry about Huang Shangshu for this matter." ”

"Of course, the last general's entry into Beijing this time is not mainly for silver, but for equipment, and it has been a month and a half since the 'Kaiyuan Great Victory', and the equipment given by the Ministry of War is pitiful."

"The bounty has not been issued for the time being, and the brothers can still tighten their belts and endure it, but if we don't have equipment, if the Tartars call, what will we use to fight with the Tartars?"

Speaking of equipment, Liu Wenzai smiled wryly.

He also heard about the batch of equipment applications sent by Yuan Yingtai, the governor of Liaodong, to the Ministry of War, and he needed 2,000 pieces of bird guns and 500 pairs of armor.

Liu Wenzai said: "The batch of equipment you originally wanted, I'm afraid that even if you empty the arsenal, you won't be able to take it out, and it will definitely not be able to be sent to you for a while." ”

Li Sanshun said: "Your Majesty personally promised that he would give priority to replenishing the equipment of my Liaodong Iron Cavalry, but we have received a total of 50 pairs of armor so far. ”

Hearing Li Sanshun's words, Liu Wenzai's face changed, but then he said with a smile: "I have a little impression of this matter, the Ministry of War has indeed allocated a batch of equipment specially issued to the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, but the specific amount is a little less, so I have to ask the Lang Zhongwu Officer of the Treasury Division, but he is not in the Ministry of War today." ”

It was the first time that Li Sanshun had heard that the Ministry of War had specially issued equipment to the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, and it seemed that there was indeed a problem.

So he said loudly: "Then I have to ask Wu Langzhong to understand, where did the equipment he sent go, why didn't we receive it?" ”

Then Li Sanshun left the military department and went to the arsenal to find Wu Dayuan.

Liu Wenzai hurriedly came to the Inspectorate while no one was paying attention.

Liu Wenzai is also a Donglin party, and the purpose of his trip is naturally to find Yang Lian, the imperial history of the Imperial Palace.

Regarding the equipment of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, he remembered very well that His Majesty's father-in-law Chang personally sent a message to the Ministry of War, and His Majesty asked to replenish the equipment of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, and then Huang Shangshu allocated all the only 500 pieces of armor in the arsenal to Liaodong.

Now Li San said that they only received 50 pieces of armor, which must have been greasy, and most of them were done by the martial arts officers.

Soon, Liu Wenzai told Li Sanshun the news he got from Li Sanshun 1510.

Yang Lian was furious after hearing this, and scolded sharply: "I have heard that the arsenal managed by this martial artist is very problematic, and this time he even dared to do anything with the equipment that His Majesty asked to send to Liaodong, it is really a bear's heart and a leopard's gall." ”

Liu Wenzai said: "The military officers rely on the same 'Qi Party' as Huang Jiashan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and occupy the fat shortage of the Arsenal Division, they have always had no scruples and do whatever they want. ”

"Presumably, Li Xianzhong relied on his holy will and did not bribe him, so the martial arts officer deliberately made things difficult."

Hearing this, Yang Lian was even more angry, and said: "Although Li Xianzhong is a little arrogant, his Liaodong Iron Cavalry has repeatedly made war exploits for my Ming Dynasty, and I heard that not long ago, the 'Kaiyuan Great Victory' killed more than sixty percent of his troops. ”

"Master Wu stuck his equipment at this time, this is shaking the foundation of my Liaodong!"

"As the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, this official must find out this national thief and eliminate traitors for the country!"

Liu Wenzai said with a smile: "Huang Jiashan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is old and incompetent, so I am afraid it will be difficult to effectively control the Ministry of War." Wu Dayuan is his fellow party, this Governor Yuan was originally a squire of the military department, and this time he has made great contributions to Liaodong, if he can replace him, wouldn't it be better? ”

"The equipment sent from the arsenal to the Liaodong arsenal, the governor of Liaodong knows best, but for the sake of insurance, we should first ask Governor Yuan to verify the data, so that we can grasp the handle of the military officer."

Just when the two were still discussing how to reorganize the dynasty through this matter, and they were still bright.

Suddenly, it was very noisy outside, and the two of them walked out to see the fire in the direction of Chongwen Gate.

Yang Lian shouted: "Oh no, this is the direction of the arsenal!" ”

Four words popped up in their minds: "Fire Dragon Burning Warehouse"!

At this time, I saw the thick smoke billowing from the arsenal of the military department near Chongwen Gate, and the officials of the arsenal were in a mess, and people kept shouting: "The water is gone, hurry up and put out the fire." ”

Many people gathered around, but they were kept out of the arsenal by the soldiers of the arsenal.

According to the regulations, even if there is a fire, others are not allowed to enter at will to help extinguish the fire, so as not to let someone take the opportunity to take the sheep by hand.

The officials and soldiers of the armory picked up buckets and bamboo brooms to prepare to extinguish the fire, but they could only barely prevent the fire from spreading to other warehouses, but could not stop the fire in the armor storehouse.

By the time the firefighters of the Five Cities arrived with carts filled with buckets, the armor storehouse was already on fire.

The fire took more than an hour to extinguish, but fortunately the fire did not spread to nearby homes.

Mukushiro Nakabu watched all this silently not far away.

Li Sanshun's big trouble in the military department soon reached his ears.

He knew that he was going to be exposed about the fact that he had sold 400 pairs of armor to Jianzhou at a sky-high price.

This time, the "Fire Dragon Burning Warehouse" was actually prepared by him a long time ago, and he originally wanted to set a fire along with the other warehouses after a while.

I didn't expect Li Xianzhong to send someone to find him so quickly, so he could only burn the armor warehouse in advance.

Of course, it was not enough to just burn down the warehouse, because he did only allocate 100 pieces of armor to the Liaodong arsenal.

Even if he burned down the warehouse, it could only mean that the armor was burned, but it could not change the fact that the arsenal was less armory.

So there must be a "scapegoat" to take responsibility for this leakage of hair and armor.

Soon I heard someone shouting: "Oh no, Director Liu committed suicide!" ”

The belated Yang Lian and other popular people are itching.

They didn't expect the martial arts officer to act so quickly, not only burned the armor storehouse, but also found a scapegoat in advance.

It is true that they can sit on the fact that the Arsenal Division has less armor, but at most they can be accused of poor supervision by the military officers.

If you want to take down Huang Jiashan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, it is absolutely impossible.

Because Emperor Wanli would not pay attention to the twists and turns of these people, everything was decided by the first assistant Fang Congzhe.

Sure enough, although the Donglin Party members wrote to impeach the Wu members for dereliction of duty, Huang Jiashan failed to supervise and demanded that they be punished together.

But Fang Congzhe only punished the martial arts officers for demotion.

He was demoted from the Arsenal Division of the Fifth Rank to the Outer Lang of the Fifth Rank, and he was still in charge of the Arsenal Division.

Huang Jiashan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, only verbally reprimanded him, asking him to strengthen the supervision of his subordinates.

Although Yang Lian, the imperial history of the Inspectorate, and Liu Yijing, the secretary of the same household department, demanded severe punishment.

But Fang Shoufu said: "The main responsible person has committed suicide in fear of crime, and the jointly and severally responsible person has been dealt with." ”

The Donglin Party members were also helpless.

At this time, in the Drunken Immortal Building, Li Sanshun was toasting Cui Wensheng.

Gonggong Cui looked at the gold in front of him and said with a smile: "Mr. Li always thinks about the miscellaneous family, how embarrassing is this?" ”

Li Sanshun said: "Mr. Li said, he was taken care of by Father-in-law Cui many times, and he was sorry not to go, and asked me to come to visit your old man when I entered Beijing this time, and brought you some grassland specialties, and I hope you will not be disgusted." ”

Cui Wensheng said: "This specialty is good, we like it tightly." General Li sacrificed his life and forgot to die for the Ming Dynasty, and the miscellaneous family naturally wanted to seek justice for the soldiers. ”

Wanli in Yikun Palace soaked his feet in the medicine bag while enjoying Cui Wensheng's massage service.

And Zheng Guifei was scratching her head in front of the mirror.

Soon Wanli discovered the uniqueness of this mirror studded with various gemstones, and asked, "Where did this mirror come from, and why have I never seen it?" ”

Zheng Guifei said with a smile: "This mirror was seized by Li Xianzhong, the chief soldier of Kaiyuan, who swept the Horqin tribe, and it is said to be a thing in the palace of the former Yuan, and he specially sent someone to send it to the palace." ”

Wanli had already heard the report of Li Xianzhong's sweep of Horqin, but he said with some jealousy: "It seems that this Li Xianzhong has forgotten me!" ”

Concubine Zheng Guifei said: "The concubine forgot to tell Your Majesty, and General Li also asked people to bring some grassland specialties to Your Majesty. ”

Soon Cui Wensheng opened a small refined box, which was full of golden gold, which should be no less than 500 taels.

Wanli, who loves money like life, smiled from ear to ear when he saw Jin, and said, "When did the grassland become rich in these specialties?" ”

Zheng Guifei said: "General Li is also avoiding suspicion, if he presents these to His Majesty through regular channels, then he must not be sprayed to death by those civil officials!" ”

Wanli said at this time: "It's really difficult for him, I heard that this time to defeat Jianyu, his original road to the original suffered a lot of losses!" ”

At this time, Concubine Zheng said: "Originally, the harem should not interfere in politics, but the concubine still has to say a fair word for General Li Bing, these people in the military department are really too disagreeable."

When Wanli heard it, the 500 pieces of armor allocated by the military department only received 50 pieces of armor in the end. And then the ones that didn't send it were inexplicably burned to a fire.

His lungs were about to explode, so he ordered the former military department of the military department to be imprisoned, ordered the three divisions to be tried, and he must be given an explanation, and then directly let Huang Jiashan, the secretary of the military department, give a letter.

This undoubtedly caused an uproar in the imperial court.
