Chapter 381: The Beginning and the End
At the moment of the great enemy, this kind of thing has actually happened within the official army. Once it is not handled well, He Renlongbu will completely mutiny, and if there is a nest fight, then Jingyang City will be really dangerous!
Since Zuo Guangxian confronted He Renlong's men and horses at the grain depot, Zhu Youzhen led the crowd straight to the grain depot. As he walked, he questioned the officer guarding the city, and finally got a general idea of what had happened.
It turned out that a few days ago, Zuo Guang first entered the city at the same time as He Renlong's men and horses, Zuo Guang first guarded the east gate and the south gate, and He Renlong guarded the west gate and the north gate. Because Zuo Guangxian was a third-grade general, and He Renlong was a five-rank garrison, Zuo Guangxian was responsible for defending the city, and Sun Chuanting, the county commander, was responsible for military supplies.
On the first day, because Li Zicheng's army followed, the situation was very serious, and the various departments only cared about the defense of the city, but they were also safe and sound, and there was no major chaos.
From the next day, when it was discovered that the target of the attack on the camp was not Jingyang County, but Qinwangzhuang, He Renlongbu immediately relaxed, and soon revealed his ugly face.
First of all, He Renlong felt resentful of being controlled by Zuo Guangxian. Now that the court has no way, if you want to be promoted and make a fortune, it is far from enough to rely on military exploits alone, the most important thing is to learn to slip around and shoot horses, and know how to honor the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian.
In this regard, He Renlong took a lot of effort, spending at least seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver up and down. The so-called hard work pays off, and he really has a relationship with Wei Zhongxian.
After taking out another 10,000 taels of silver, Wei Zhongxian praised He Renlong and ordered his minions in the military department to promote He Renlong. Although the writing of the military department has not yet arrived, the matter of promotion is nine out of ten. He Renlong also gradually became domineering, with Wei Zhongxian's big backer, he didn't even pay much attention to Yang He, the governor of the three sides, and he didn't care about Zuo Guangxian or Sun Chuanting.
Zuo Guangxian has been beaten and excluded by the eunuch party because of his brother Zuo Guangdou's relationship. He Renlong climbed Wei Zhongxian, and he also heard about it. He has always been cautious, how dare he be caught by the eunuchs again, so although he is called the main general of the city, he has always been respectful to He Renlong, as if He Renlong is his boss.
But Sun Chuanting is not. He was jealous and hateful, and he had already made up his mind to follow Zhu Youzhen to clear the monarch's side and eradicate the eunuchs, so after knowing that He Renlong was attached to Wei Zhongxian, he was even more lukewarm to him, and he had a completely businesslike attitude. He Renlong wanted to find him more grain and grass, and let the common people vacate houses for the soldiers to live in, but Sun Chuanting simply refused these unreasonable requests.
Although He Renlong hated this, he didn't dare to do anything for a while. Because the tradition of the Ming Dynasty is to use literature to control the military, don't look at Sun Chuanting is only a seven-grade county order, and He Renlong is a five-rank garrison, but He Renlong not only can't command Sun Chuanting, but in some matters he has to obey Sun Chuanting's arrangement. He Renlong touched a few nails, and then he held a grudge against Sun Chuanting.
Coincidentally, He Renlong's camp did owe a few months' wages. Originally, since the imperial court levy "training salary", the plan was to have a share of the dragon department of the Youhe people. However, after the master of ceremonies and supervisors picked up one floor, the cabinet picked up one floor, and the household department and the military department each picked one floor, there was very little left, and He Renlong was allowed to swallow it alone. Therefore, for several months, the soldiers of the He Renlong Department did not receive the salary.
His unit has a "fine tradition," that is, whenever a battle is fought, it is always necessary to talk about the conditions first, and never work without sufficient food and wages. This time is no exception, just after guarding the city for a day, several of his generals said with a hippie smile: "General, King Qin is in Jingyang County, presumably the county is also rich." It's better to let the county commander raise the arrears in the army first, otherwise why would we He Ying give him his life. ”
He Renlong was resenting Sun Chuanting, and when he heard this, he immediately took it to heart and whispered a few words to a few generals. Several people laughed when they heard this, and immediately acted according to the plan.
First of all, He Renlong's nephew and partial general He Jinhu sent dozens of people to Jingyang County. They rushed in, each with his sword, and burst into the hall and shouted, "Where is the treasury, take us to fetch the silver!" If there is a shortage of salary in the army, borrow some from your Jingyang County first! ”
The officials dared not speak out about this, because after all, they were the officials and soldiers who came to assist in defending the city. But the other party made it clear that he wanted to rob the silver vault, which was too much, and Feng Wu, the head of the standing shift, said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is not difficult to open the silver treasury, as long as the county commander nods, you will empty the silver treasury, and the villain will never dare to stop it." The villain will go and ask for the prefectural order now"
"Fuck off!" Before Feng Wu finished speaking, he was slapped hard in the face! The little boss who beat people immediately scolded: "What kind of county order, in the eyes of grandpa, it is not as good as bullshit!" Grandpa only knew that he had been ordered by General He Jinhu He to come to Yinkuban for silver, and he didn't care about anything else! If anyone dares to stop it, grandpa will go in with a white knife and come out with a red knife! ”
Feng Wu was innocently beaten, and couldn't help but be furious, and he also jumped to his feet and scolded: "The silver treasury is an important place in the county, and there is no forgiveness for trespassers!" "The people on both sides immediately copied each other, and they were going to do it in the lobby. At this time, Sun Chuanting heard the movement and also rushed over from the back office. After asking the reason, he sneered and said, "Since you are here to get the silver, come with me!" ”
The little leader didn't know what the plan was, and just followed Sun Chuanting a few steps, but Sun Chuanting suddenly pulled out his portable sword, and a sword pierced the little leader's heart!
How could the little boss think that Sun Chuanting, a civil official, suddenly started to kill. At this time, although his eyes were wide, he could no longer speak half a word. And the other He Ying soldiers around him couldn't react for a while, and they were all stunned on the spot.
Sun Chuanting did not show mercy, and immediately drew his long sword and aimed it at the neck of the little leader. Just listen to the "click", the head has already landed! The blood shot out like a fountain, splashing Sun Chuanting's whole body!
"Just now, the official has already told you and the others that those who trespass on the treasury will be killed!" Sun Chuanting said murderously, "This guy knowingly commits a crime, and the crime is added to one degree!" This thief is now in ambush, and if you don't retreat again, you will be guilty of the same crime as him! ”
At this time, the soldiers of He Ying reacted, but they refused to retreat at all, but surrounded Sun Chuanting, knocked him down without saying anything, and tied him up firmly! And the other officials were also quickly subdued, after all, they had just been recruited from the common people, how could they compare with these battle-hardened officers and soldiers.
"Bold!" Although Sun Chuanting was executed, he shouted loudly, "This official is an official of the imperial court, and you dare to commit murder with weapons, it's simply the opposite!" ”
At this time, another general broke into the lobby, and gave Sun Chuanting a big mouth when he was round, and Sun Chuanting's face was swollen.
"Who are you, how dare you" Before Sun Chuanting finished speaking, the person who came gave him another heartwarming foot, and scolded viciously, "Lao Tzu is He Jinhu, the sixth general manager of He Ying!" You dog officer ate leopard gall, not only did you not borrow money, but you also dared to commit murder! ”
"This official is looking for your He Ren Long He to guard!"
"Don't bother!" He Jinhu said with a wicked smile, "General He can't get the military salary, he has been detained by us, and now it is Lao Tzu who has the final say in the army!" Come on, imprison this dog official, and go to the grain depot after copying the silver storehouse! ”
