Chapter 62: Embezzlement of Merit
Lin County ordered the scribe around him to read the document and whispered: "This is indeed a document issued by Lingao County, indicating that these 300 people are the township warriors recruited by the county, who guard the county border on weekdays, and this time they took the initiative to come over to relieve the siege." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
A person who looked like a master said: "The proprietor, the county is besieged this time, even if the siege is lifted, there will be a lot of trouble. Chopping foot is a familiar Li under the rule of Chengmai County, and now it is raising troops to make a rebellion, which is like a rebellion, and it will be investigated, and the board will eventually hit the owner's body. Now is a good opportunity to put the credit of this village warrior on the head of the proprietor, and report that a man who led the people out of the city to meet the enemy and won a great victory will definitely be able to offset the merits......"
Lin County Ling has this intention, under the rule of the Li people riots, the county seat is besieged, no matter what, he must always take responsibility, can he pass this hurdle to keep the black yarn hat, defeat the Li people, and relieve the siege of the county seat, this credit is a good turnaround.
He muttered: "The difficulty is here, since this township brave can run away and cut off the foot, it shows that it is quite brave, how to be willing to be taken away, if you are angry and attack the county, won't the county just get out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den?" β
The master replied: "This is the Han people under the rule of Lingao, not those Li people who have no king and no father. As long as the proprietors insist that we have beaten away the mob, and we have the final say, they can only swallow this breath - unless they want to rebel, forgive them and have no such courage. β
Lin Xian Ling nodded, and the last scruples in his heart were gone, so he raised the document in his hand and said to the city: "After the screening of this county, you are indeed the township of Lingao County, and you rushed to the county to rescue, which shows your heart to serve the imperial court." Now the mob has been repelled by the military and civilians of the county, which can be said to be a step too late. For the sake of waiting for the tiring boats and cars, you should have killed pigs and sheep to reward you with wine and food, but the county was trapped for many days, the materials were scarce, and the people in the county could not be fed. β
Listening to his words, from Xia Nan to Lin Weiye, from Huang Hansheng and Yang Youji to every team member, almost no one dared to believe their ears.
Xia Nan looked at Lin Weiye in shock and said: "I heard it right, does this bullshit county order mean that he ran away, and then we ran away with our own passions, and we couldn't even drink a glass of water when we were done, so we were going to be gray?" β
Lin Weiye clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said: "I've seen shameless, I've never seen such shameless, blatantly grabbing credit, isn't this treating us like monkeys?" β
Yang Youji calculated the distance, and said with a gloomy face: "Master, his subordinate shot him with an arrow, see how he robs us of our credit?"
Xia Nan shook his head, stopped Yang Youji's plan, and thought about it.
Obviously, this Lin County Commander wants to take credit, what he relies on is that he is an official, this side is the people, and the battle took place in Chengmai County, the battle experience is only known to the warring parties, and Huang Mengjia will not testify to himself, so how to report to the Shangguan depends on what he Lin County Commander says.
From a theoretical point of view, Lin Xianling's idea does have room for manipulation, and the only variable is whether his side will be angry and impulsively attack the county seat.
And if he attacks the county seat in a fit of anger, it will be like a rebellion, and he will be the second Huang Mengjia, and he will definitely face the encirclement and suppression of the upcoming official army.
Xia Nan thought about the shipyard under construction, the steel mill that had been put into operation, the arsenal, and the largest textile factory, and slowly calmed down. It is not his goal to make credit, it is the goal of this trip to fight Huang Mengjia, and he is just in the name of a village warrior, and he is not an official, so it is useless to have merit, so he can't swallow it in one go.
Thinking of this, Xia Nan made a decision and said to the city wall: "We are not officers and soldiers, it is the same whether we have military merits or not, since Lin County Order needs this credit, take it." It's just that we have been on the road for two days, and we have another fight with Chopping Foot, and we are hungry, and your county will always have to be rewarded. β
Seeing that the other party said it so bluntly, with Lin Sanfeng's thick blackness, he couldn't help but blush. Since the other party gave up the credit and the request was reasonable, Lin Sanfeng didn't want to force the other party too much, so he ordered to go down and let the big families in the city prepare wine and meat, and then hang them down with hanging baskets, but the city gate will not be opened, so you have to guard against these people jumping off the wall in a hurry.
The siege of the county seat was lifted, and the big families in the city smiled and took the initiative to provide a lot of chickens, ducks and fish, and the things were quickly prepared and hung from the city wall.
Seeing that the other party still refused to open the city gate, the team members were in a commotion, and someone whispered: "This dog official deceives people too much, I knew it was so, and those local soldiers captured the county seat......
When Xia Nan heard these discussions, he didn't stop them. The unhappiness encountered under this Chengmai city, from another point of view, bad things can also become good things, it is a good thing that there are dissatisfaction with the government in the team, the more disappointed the people in his system are with the government, the better, the more dissatisfied with the government, the more beneficial it is to him, he doesn't want the team he pulled up to be a group of obedient people who bow down to the government and the court.
After hastily filling their stomachs, repairing for half an hour, and recovering their strength, the escort team set out on the return journey again. For Xia Nan, the biggest gain of this trip was the successful attack on Huang Mengjia, and it is estimated that he will flee when he sees the escort for a long time.
Back in Lingao, Xia Nan and Lin Weiye were warmly greeted by the Women's Army. Seeing them come back intact, Maria, Fu Nanying and others were all overjoyed.
Liu Quan stayed behind the women's army, waiting for the master to finish complaining, and stepped forward to report, and news came from Bofu's side, Charles said that the shipyard project was almost completed.
As soon as he heard the good news after the victory, Nan was in a good mood in the summer, regardless of the fatigue of the journey, and even the maids didn't have an air-conditioning play, so he pulled Lin Weiye and rushed directly to Bofu.
Hirosuke has now become a huge construction site, with more than 2,000 people working non-stop, and there are many people.
When Nannan arrived at the construction site in the summer, he saw that the five docks had been basically completed, neatly lined up, and the keel piers had been laid, each with an area the size of a football field, but a narrow rectangle. According to the visual measurement of the summer south, it is about 100 metersΓ 30 meters, and the depth is about 10 meters. In the absence of modern machinery and equipment, all rely on manpower to excavate, the amount of earthwork alone is a very large project, according to the rough estimate of 1 ton of earthwork per cubic meter, the earthwork of a dock is 30,000 tons, and 5 docks are 150,000 tons!
