"No one can move this batch of military salaries. ”

As soon as Ying Yi opened his mouth, he emphasized the ownership of the military salary for the third time, and then said: "The county is loyal to the court and is a good official." But because of this, the military salary could not be handed over to him. ”

Zheng Wu clenched the Pu knife and suddenly laughed at himself: "It's me who misjudged you." I thought you valued love and righteousness, and knew loyalty and filial piety... The lord is also kind to you, but I didn't expect it... People are really greedy, and you have taken a fancy to these two million taels of silver, and you want to keep them for yourself. ”

Ying Yi shook her head and nodded again: "I did take a fancy to this batch of silver, and I really want to keep it for myself." But there may be some gaps from what you think. ”

Ying Yi said calmly: "Fifth Brother Zheng, let me ask you a question. ”

Zheng Wu waved his knife and said categorically: "If you want silver, kill me." No need to talk nonsense. ”

At this time, the soldiers were already at a loss. They have a good impression of Zheng Yunzhi, but they also know how powerful Yingyi is. Aren't you your own people? Why are you doing this now?

There was silence.

Zheng Wu's words Ying Yiquan didn't hear it, and said to himself: "The county is a good official, everything he does is from the perspective of the court and the Son of Heaven. That's why I can't give him the pay. Not only can I not give him the military salary, but I will also not give him the soldiers and horses of the three thousand households. ”

He said: "The Ming Dynasty is about to fall, this is visible. The coming crackdown on thieves will certainly not succeed. And Zheng Xianzun's intention of organizing this army, I think you should know better than me. As soon as Zuo Liangyu and the other Huguang soldiers arrive, we will act as a countermeasure and submit to the Huguang soldiers. ”

Zheng Wu's expression moved slightly.

Ying Yi said again: "What kind of dog thief is Zuo Liangyu? Even Wang Qiaonian, the governor of the three sides, was sold by him, and his death was desolate. How many times have you suppressed thieves, you are the first to run away with such goods, and you have ruined the good situation. Zheng County is loyal to the imperial court, but he is not Zuo Liangyu. Zheng Xianzun can give these 3,000 people to Zuo Liangyu as cannon fodder, but I can't. ”

His expression was like iron: "Therefore, I will never hand over the military salary to the county honor." Army, let alone hand it over to him. The military salary is in the hands of the county, and I cannot control the army. If you can't control the army, you will be used as cannon fodder. Without the army, I would not be able to take revenge, and without these 3,000 people, I would not be able to protect the more than 20,000 people in this city and mountain. Zheng Wu, what do you think I should do?"

Zheng Wu's face turned pale, but he didn't wait for him to speak, Yingyi said again: "I will never give a dog thief a response, let alone because Zheng Xianzun obeyed the orders of a dog thief like Zuo Liangyu, be his cannon fodder, and be sold by him." If I met him, I would even kill him. This dog thief is no worse than a thief. The thieves want to fight, but not with Zuo Liangyu, I'll do it myself. ”

Then Ying Yi looked at the more than 100 soldiers behind Zheng Wu and said, "What about you, what do you say? Are you willing to fight with me, or are you willing to obey the command of the county honor?"

Zheng Wu finally spoke: "Yingyi, if I don't follow you, how will you stay?"

Ying Yi said lightly: "Then don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

The night was depressing, and the atmosphere suddenly sank to the extreme. Heavy breathing came and went, as if a storm was coming.

An abrupt clang, breaking the heaviness. I don't know who started it, and then more than 100 people dropped their weapons one after another, crossed over from Zheng Wu's side, and came behind Yingyi.

Zheng Wu's face turned red and trembled, and he pointed at them speechlessly.

Someone plucked up the courage and said: "Brother Zheng, the county is a good person." But... What Master Ying said is right. We just want to protect our families, not for the court, not for the Son of Heaven. ”

"yes. I remember the drought the year before last, and the imperial court didn't even provide disaster relief, and my eldest brother was starved to death. ”

"When the thieves come, they will never see the shadow of the court. ”

There were many complaints, which suddenly made Zheng Wu's spirit disappear.

Ying Yi sighed: "The Ming Dynasty has long lost the hearts of the people. It's a pity that Zheng Xianzun still turned a blind eye. Brother Zheng Wu, you are Zheng Xianzun's close confidant, I think the first thing you consider should be Zheng Xianzun, not the imperial court. If Zheng Xianzun is involved in the battle of thieves this time, with his temperament after defeat, what do you think will be the consequences?"

Countless thoughts flashed through Zheng Wu's mind, and he closed his eyes.

After a long time, he said, "What are you going to do?"

Ying Yi smiled: "I must control the military salary in my own hands, and the army is even more so." I hope that Zheng County will focus on the governance of people's livelihood. There are more than 20,000 people in the mountains, and many of them are still unsettled. ”

After a pause, he said, "Of course I will participate in the battle against thieves." But it is by no means what Zheng Xianzun thinks. After I go back, I won't go to see the county honor, but I hope you will convey my words to him. ”

"You want to put the master under house arrest?" Zheng Wu said.

"As a last resort. Ying Yi said: "Wait for this matter, let the county be free." ”

Then Yingyi perked up and said, "It's important to get the military salary first." It's not safe here. The big guys are all in action, don't waste time. ”

"Whoa!"

The mentality of the soldiers changed quickly. It's not that they're all white-eyed wolves, but their will, which is at odds with Jung Yoon-ji. Zheng Yunzhi is standing in the position of the imperial court, and in the eyes of the people, the imperial court has long lost trust and is not worth paying for it.

In fact, in the last years of the dynasties, the combat effectiveness of the army declined extremely rapidly, except for the Han Dynasty. There is only one fundamental reason, that is, the imperial court has lost its status in the eyes of the people, and it is no longer worthy of the people's life and death.

Without this conviction, how can we still fight? They are often crushed at the slightest touch, and they all flee for their lives.

In later generations, there is an army that can hold on until the world is conquered, their equipment is not the best, the territory is the most barren, and the resources are the most demanding, but why can they hold out to the end?

That's faith.

There are people who are willing to die for it, and go forward and succeed. That's the root cause.

In contrast, it happened to be another army of the same era. Not only is there more people and better equipment, but it also occupies the righteousness of the world, but it is also because of the loss of the people's support, and finally being driven to a small island to survive.

Zheng Yunzhi is not bad, talented and capable. But his position is contrary to the will of the people.

This is the fundamental reason why Yingyi can rebel against the soldiers in just a few words.

Zheng Wu didn't leave without permission, he knew that Yingyi would not let him go back at this time. Yingyi has not completely seized military power, and will hide it from Zheng Yunzhi until the dust settles.

The two stood aside, watching boxes of silver being lifted out and loaded onto carriages and ox carts, with different expressions.

Ying Yi suddenly said: "I admire the county respect. But admiration is admiration, I look at the problem from a different angle and stand in a different position with him. Brother Zheng, if I were you, I would persuade the county and persuade him not to accompany the burial of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Ying Yi looked at Zheng Wu: "In a short period of time, I won't let the county lord leave the Crescent Valley." Unless..."
