"General Jiang, the day before yesterday, the imperial court issued an order to transfer a large number of troops to Taiyuan to suppress bandits, I don't know if the soldiers and horses have been mobilized at this time?" After the politeness, after three rounds of drinking, Wu Mengming, who had already been hinted at by Chang Yu, began to talk about some serious things.

For the Jinyi Guard's commander to escort the salary, this is an unprecedented thing, how could Jiang Hao have no plan in his heart, his heart is definitely not so simple as a charge, it may be to urge the transfer of troops and investigate military affairs.

"Lord Wu" Jiang Hao cleared his throat: "The last general just received the transfer order from Governor Wang the day before yesterday, and he is in a hurry to transfer, but there is a big difficulty right now."

"What's the difficulty?" Wu Mengming squinted

"The imperial court owes Taiyuan Mansion more than half a year, and the morale is not high at the moment, and many soldiers have complaints," Jiang Hao said with a sigh of embarrassment.

Wu Mengming smiled slightly: "I came this time to solve this matter, General Jiang, how many troops are there in Taiyuan Mansion?" How much is the total amount owed? ”

"There are more than 100,000 soldiers stationed in Taiyuan Mansion, and the annual salary of individual soldiers is calculated according to ten taels, and the salary is more than 500,000 at this time" Jiang Hao said with a long sigh, slanting his eyes at Wu Mengming.

Wu Mengming was stunned, and Chang Yu, who had been silent all the time, almost squirted out!

He knew that Taiyuan was garrisoned by heavy troops at the moment, but the 100,000 people were scary, and if the actual amount could exceed 80,000 or even 70,000, he would write it upside down, and as for the salary, it was even more stinky and shameless according to the calculation of the per capita annual salary of eight taels.

For example, Qi Jiguang was paid ten taels when recruiting troops on the southeast coast, and the annual salary of recruiting soldiers in Jizhen in the north was eighteen taels, and the annual salary of local soldiers at this time was such as "Wujin County Chronicles": "One cent of the Japanese bank" The annual salary was only four taels, which was not enough at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the people were displaced, and there was nowhere to rely on food.

Therefore, even if it is a soldier in a major town like Datong, there will definitely not be as many as ten taels, five or six taels is the actual price, and it is only eight taels of silver to die, Jiang Hao said that greed has reached the point of shamelessness.

"So much?" Wu Mengming raised his eyebrows

"But isn't it, the court is not paid for half a year, the more it accumulates, the soldiers also have to support their families, to be honest, now not only is the salary arrears but even the grain and grass are stretched, and the porridge is subsisting every day, so the army is unstable, how can there be the heart to kill the enemy, and therefore, the matter of transferring troops is difficult!" Han Lin took over the conversation and said with a sad face.

Oh, Wu Mengming's face was slightly embarrassed: "The matter of grain and grass has been handed over to Governor Wang, as for the salary, isn't it sent, it's just ......"

"Just how?" Han Lin's eyes narrowed and looked at Wu Mengming.

"Due to the urgency of the war, the imperial court couldn't raise too much money for a while, and this time it was only more than 300,000 yuan, but the difference will be sent soon."

"In this way, I'm afraid it's still difficult to stabilize the morale of the army, to tell the truth, it's not once or twice that the imperial court has played white, and the soldiers have long lost confidence," Han Lin said and glanced at Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Hao and several others also hurriedly echoed and said yes.

Wu Mengming looked embarrassed and glanced sideways at Chang Yu.

"General Jiang, Datong's 100,000 troops, 500,000 salaries is too much?" Chang Yu didn't drink, took a sip of tea, and looked at Jiang Hao with slanted eyes.

In an instant, the scene calmed down, and everyone's expressions were different, the so-called some things can be seen through but not said, Chang Yu's words are actually equivalent to picking up a blister of unspoken rules.

Jiang Hao's heart sank, and he knew how the levant would use the Jinyi guard to command the envoy to go out in person, and sure enough, he secretly rectified the military affairs with the levy.

"What do you call this adult?"

Jiang Hao looked at Chang Yu and always thought that he was just Wu Mengming's subordinate, so although he had introduced him before, he didn't take it to heart, but at this moment, it seems that this kid doesn't look like a follower.

"Our family is not an adult," Chang Yu smiled slightly.

"Oh, this is Chang Gonggong of Dongchang." Wu Mengming suddenly didn't know what to think, but took the initiative to put on a tiger skin for Chang Yu.

East Factory!

Sure enough, Jiang Jiu, Han Lin and the others changed their faces greatly, and they even greeted the women of Wu Mengming's family in their hearts, and now they said, why did they only introduce their names just now.

"Father-in-law Chang, there was a lot of rudeness just now" Jiang Hao and the others hurriedly got up and saluted Chang Yu, but their faces were extremely discouraged, and they secretly thought in their hearts that the imperial court sent the Jinyi Guard to command the envoy and add another Dongchang to come, how could it be a trivial matter.

"Jiang Zongbing doesn't have to be polite, let's continue the topic just now" Chang Yu sat with a grin, and didn't get up to return the salute, because he felt that Jiang Hao was not worthy.

is so faceless, and speaking with a single knife makes Jiang Huang feel embarrassed, and he already has hatred in his heart, but he is an old fritter in officialdom, so he is naturally not like Chang Yu, who is full of joy and anger on his face.

"More than 100,000 people, perennial battles and transfers, it is inevitable that there will be some errors, but the number of salaries and silver has been calculated like this over the years, and I don't know what Chang Gonggong means by this?" Jiang Huang looked like you want to frame me, but you can't do it.

Chang Yu smiled: "Since the number of troops is wrong, it should be verified, and as for the amount of salary, it should be slightly adjusted at this time and at that time."

"The lord of this fixed salary?" Han Lin put a big hat on Chang Yu, and the implication is that you have the right to set the price as a dead eunuch, if it is really ginger is old and spicy.

Chang Yu secretly scolded the old dog for being cunning in his heart, he was not a bad guy and he knew that he couldn't be bad at this time, but he was very unwilling to do so.

"This is not our family", Chang Yu sneered: "Governor Wang will come to Datong in a few days, his duty is to announce the military affairs of the governor's big salary, and he will naturally handle it, our family is just sent by the emperor, how dare you get involved."

The big hat was not stuck, which made Han Lin a little disappointed, but he was a little relieved when he heard Chang Yu's words, listening to what he meant, he did not personally supervise military affairs, but handed it over to Wang Jiyu, then the matter would be much easier, and then it would be a formality.

"It's easy to verify the soldiers and approve the salary, but I'm afraid that even if Governor Wang comes in person, it will be difficult for the clever woman to cook" Han Lin skillfully changed the topic after getting the information he wanted, and the implication was that it was difficult to raise grain and grass, which was also a fact, natural and man-made disasters for many years, grain harvests, and sometimes even money could not buy food.

"This matter will be discussed after Governor Wang arrives, the current top priority is to transfer troops to Taiyuan, the day before yesterday Xuanfu has more than 10,000 elite soldiers, at the moment is on the way, the fast will be tomorrow at noon Datong, slow at midnight, Jiang General Bing, you will need troops tomorrow, no less than 20,000 troops." Chang Yu looked at Jiang Jiu Zhengse.

Jiang Hao was just about to answer, but was robbed by Han Lin, "Father-in-law Chang, I'm afraid this matter is not feasible?" ”

"Why not?" Chang Yu frowned, there was anger between his eyebrows, there were many things to do with this Nima in this year, all kinds of prevarication, I think in history, on March 6, the thief army broke the Xuanfu Imperial Court ordered Tang Tong, the chief soldier of Jizhen, Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Liaodong, and Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, to immediately come to the aid, but it was not until March 30, two days before the thief army broke the Juyong Pass, Wu Sangui did not enter the customs, Tang Tong just arrived in the capital, Liu Zeqing did not come at all.

The situation was so urgent that day, and now these people are not in a hurry or slow, no wonder Chang Yu has a fire in his heart.

He went out of Beijing this time, called the charge, which was actually Chongzhen's eyes and ears, and the so-called opportunistic actions certainly included the intention of expediting and secretly visiting to urge the dispatch of troops.

"If the matter of soldiers' salaries is not resolved, I am afraid that the soldiers will ......"

As soon as Han Lin spoke, Chang Yu couldn't bear his anger and took the case: "Anyone who is a soldier can call the shots, and he still wants to be a general?" If a general can't even command the soldiers, how can he be a general! ”

As soon as the words came out, Chang Yu was shocked by the four seats, Chang Yu's words were too heavy, which made Jiang Huang and the others extremely dull, and it was even equivalent to a direct slap in the face, but there was no way that Chang Gonggong was this kind of rectum, although he knew that his heart was not good, he couldn't hold back his emotions.

"Father-in-law Chang, father-in-law Chang, sit down and talk, sit down, why are you so angry" Wu Mengming looked at Jiang Hao and the others' faces, the scene was so embarrassing, and he hurriedly played a round together.

Chang Yuyan both said and regretted slightly, Datong is Jiang Jiu's territory after all, he is so too much for him to get off the stage, I am afraid that there will be trouble, this is the current foreign generals have no loyalty to the court and no fear before, because they all know that in this stormy era, they are the sweets and sweets of all forces, and under normal circumstances, the court will not give them a face.

"Chang Gonggong's words are extremely true, the soldiers are incompetent, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, so this meal still has to be eaten, and the silver is still required, if this matter is not resolved, no matter how great the general's ability is, he will not be able to make a pot of hot porridge for you, so he will not kill all his subordinates." Although Jiang Hao was furious in his heart, he was a first-class acting school, otherwise he would not have framed Wei Jingyuan as a collaborator so easily, and finally committed suicide. At this time, after seeing Chang Yu sit down, he smiled and said half-jokingly.

Chang Yu was mentioned by Wu Mengming, and he calmed down a little, and nodded lightly when he heard the words; "If you want to eat, the money will be given, but when it is very bad, it is not a matter of one day to approve the salary of the troops, but the soldiers are urgent, tomorrow Jiang will transfer 20,000 troops first, and the food and salary of 20,000 horses will be put according to the annual salary of ten taels you said? As for the rest, we will wait for the arrival of the governor to make a decision, of course, our family will immediately send someone to know the court."

This sentence has undoubtedly taken a step back, and knocked Jiang Jiu, don't take an inch.

Jiang Hao and Han Lin glanced at each other when they heard this, and then the two of them lowered their heads and whispered a few words, and then they arched their hands and said: "This matter should be feasible, but you still need to discuss it with your subordinates, how about giving Chang Gonggong a letter early tomorrow morning?"

It's really fucking shameless, Chang Yu's hot temper has come up again. Adjusting 20,000 to settle the salary of 20,000 people, and still pushing back and blocking, so Chang Yu is stupid, and he also knows that Jiang Hao can't let him take a step back, such as checking the vacancy and closing his eyes, just go through the motions.

In fact, if he didn't do this, Chang Yu would have turned a blind eye, but this angered him, and he got up when he heard the words: "If you don't see soldiers tomorrow, then don't blame our family for doing business!" ”

After speaking, he snorted coldly and left.

Chang Yu's sleeves and left, making the scene embarrassing again, everyone also behaved differently, Wu Mengming said that Chang Yu left, and also got up to say goodbye, Jiang Hao only let him leave after a little retention, and after ordering the family Ding Haosheng to entertain, he entered the study with Han Lin and other henchmen to discuss secretly.
