Where would Qu Shiyun care about these details, seeing Yao Musheng's attitude, Qu Shiyun naturally hurriedly avoided it, and then said: "Don't be like this, adults, students are just a white body now, where is such a big gift, please don't be like this!" ”

Seeing that Qu Shiyun spoke sincerely, not as if he was fake, Yao Musheng was much more down-to-earth.

Then, Sun Chuanting said to them: "Now that the situation is urgent, why don't we act separately, the adults and Brother Qu go to pacify the people, and the students and Qiu Commander go to clean up the army!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

When Yao Musheng heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly went to appease the people.

After they left, Sun Chuanting said to Qiu Dangkou: "Brother Qiu, you quickly take the students to the barracks and assemble the army!" ”

Qiu Dangkou couldn't help nodding and responded, "Okay, Mr. come with me!" ”

Saying that, Qiu Dangkou took Sun Chuanting out of the mansion and headed towards the barracks.

However, as soon as they left the mansion, as soon as the two of them got on the horse, Sun Chuanting asked Qiu Dangkou: "Brother Qiu, I wonder if your soldiers' salaries have been paid on time in the past few months?" ”

When Qiu Dangkou heard this, his face darkened, and he replied: "Don't mention it, the imperial court has not issued a tael of silver for three months, and a grain of grain has come down, and many people can't open the pot at home!" ”

"Oh!"

Sun Chuanting let out an "oh" and frowned.

As the old saying goes, the emperor is not bad for hungry soldiers, and now those soldiers have not seen their salaries for three months, and it is already good not to make trouble, and now they are expected to fight with thieves and soldiers, and call on them with the righteousness of their family and country, isn't it a waste of saliva!

Don't dare to slack off, Sun Chuanting knew that if he didn't solve the problem of military salaries first, there was absolutely no hope of victory in this thief incident, so Sun Chuanting said to Qiu Dangkou: "Brother Qiu, you go and gather the army first now, bring the army into the city, for the sake of the army, their families had better bring it together!" ”

"Okay, then I'll go first."

After speaking, Qiu Dangkou just beat his horse and headed towards the military camp outside the city.

By the time Qiu Dangkou brought the army into the city and lived in the barracks, which had been abandoned for a long time, the night was already dark, and there were torches everywhere, and the torches burning in the night wind were like stars in the sky, which was a unique scene.

Just when the army hastily cleaned up, and Qiu Dangkou was about to order them to go down and rest first, Sun Chuanting and Yao Musheng came, and they came with countless carts.

As soon as he arrived at the barracks, Sun Chuanting asked Qiu Dangkou to assemble all the soldiers, and he had something to say to the prefect.

After a while, all the soldiers arrived on the playground, and the number was about three thousand five or six hundred, Sun Chuanting couldn't help frowning when he saw it, and then he glanced at Qiu Dangkou coldly, you actually ate two thousand empty salaries!

Qiu Dangkou was so frightened by Sun Chuanting's look that he was furious, and his heart was up and down, but he didn't know why Sun Chuanting looked at himself like this!

If you want to say that this is not to blame Qiu Dangkou, you must know that when he took over as the commander, this guard was like this, there were so many people, and he was not interested in the things in the guard, so he didn't know what was empty and not empty!

Then Sun Chuanting took a closer look at the mental appearance of those soldiers, and saw that among them were both teenage children and old people, these people were completely used to make up for it!

Sun Chuanting hastily estimated that there may only be more than 2,000 people over the age of 16 and under 40, and they are all yellow and thin, their eyes are hollow, and their bodies are also in tatters, just like this, he is also a soldier!

The more Sun Chuanting looked at it, the more desolate he became, could it be that the officers and soldiers of my Ming Dynasty had already arrived in such a field?

With such soldiers, can they still defend their homes and country?

No wonder the thieves in various places are becoming more and more climate, where can such soldiers and horses in the local area be suppressed, this is not a chance for the thieves to develop and grow!

Thinking of this, Sun Chuanting couldn't help but feel a deep worry about the future and fate of Daming.

Since the Qin Dynasty and below, there has been no 300-year dynasty, even if it is as strong as the Han and Tang Dynasties, it is not in the same lineage. Since the founding of Emperor Taizu Gao, I have enjoyed the country for two hundred and sixty years, and now I have such luck, and I don't know if I can survive it!

"Hey!"

Sun Chuanting sighed, and couldn't help but look up at the bright moon in the sky, and the endless words just turned into that desolation, floating in the vast night.

"Sir, sir,"

Seeing Sun Chuanting looking up at the starry sky and not speaking for a long time, Yao Musheng couldn't help but call him a few times.

Sun Chuanting came back to his senses, and hurriedly apologized to Yao Musheng, and then said: "My lord, since the army has been assembled, please give me a lecture first." ”

Yao Musheng waved his hand and excused himself: "No, this time this time the government has already invited Mr. to command the overall situation, and all the affairs of the government are all based on Mr. first, and the government will not participate." ”

For Yao Musheng, these military affairs are ignorant of them, and he has always looked down on these Qiu Ba, so he is naturally unwilling to get involved.

Seeing this, Sun Chuanting said: "My lord, this is an extraordinary period, and the students have just arrived for these sergeants, and they have no foundation, and only by relying on the adults can they establish authority. ”

Sun Chuanting said this, Yao Musheng naturally didn't want to shirk anymore, so Yao Musheng straightened his official uniform, walked to the point platform, and pressed his hands on the soldiers below.

Then Yao Musheng said to a group of officers and soldiers: "This time the thieves came to attack, burning, killing and looting all the way, and doing all kinds of evil, it is really a great crime, how can this government tolerate him!"

Now, this government has invited Mr. Sun to plan as a whole, so as to defeat the thieves in one fell swoop, so as to show the demeanor of our imperial court's heavenly soldiers! You should obey the orders of the gentleman, and those who dare to disobey the order will be treated as a rebel and will be dealt with by military law, and the government will not tolerate it! ”

At this time, the sergeants couldn't help but look at Sun Chuanting, who was standing beside Yao Musheng, and couldn't help but be afraid of three points in their hearts.

After Yao Musheng finished speaking, Sun Chuanting nodded to Qiu Dangkou again, signaling that they could talk.

Qiu Dangkou swallowed his dry mouth, and then stood up and said to the sergeants: "You all listen well, Mr. Sun is a terrible person, you all have to listen to his orders, this time our officers and soldiers of the guard, up to me, the commander, down to everyone, must follow Mr. Sun's words, do you hear?" ”
