Chapter 1044 Noisy in Jinzhou

Although war can achieve the ambitions of princes, generals and ministers, it mostly brings harm to the general public, so few civilians like war.

Although Wang Wecan, the Changle king of the Northern Qi Dynasty who was based in Jinzhou, was not a commoner, his anti-war and war-weary sentiments were stronger than those of ordinary people, to the point of deep hatred.

Especially when the troops from Jinyang passed through Jinzhou and rushed to Yedu, Hebei Province, Wei Can's disgust for the war was palpable, and he even disliked the Jinyang soldiers who were about to go to the battlefield. He was quite dissatisfied with the work of receiving the transit divisions and brigade

Neglect.

"Reporting to your Majesty, the Yuzhou division and brigade must use 600 war horses. Millet, fodder, etc. also need to be provided by Jinzhou's treasury..."

The military officials who were passing through the border came to the state capital with documents for allocating supplies, hoping that Yucan could arrange the allocation.

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wei Can impatiently waving his hand, and at the same time said angrily: "No, not at all! No horses, no materials, I am sitting in the border town, how many state affairs are there every day

Is it just to feed horses and materials for you thieves? So what about the military orders of the Cavalry Department! Even if Tang Yong comes personally, I just won't give it!"

No wonder Wei Can was dissatisfied. A large number of people and horses from Jinyang were passing through. Jinzhou, as an important transit place, not only had to provide a large supply of food and supplies, replenish military equipment and staff, but also the arrangement of camping sites and the transportation of cattle and horses.

State affairs, which were still relatively quiet, have increased several times.

Wei Can was not a shrewd and capable person, and he did not worry much about serious affairs in the past. Now a large number of things are pouring into his desk, and the incoming and outgoing documents almost bury him. This is for someone who is used to being idle and fishing.

, it’s simply a kind of torture!

If these matters can be avoided by prevaricating, or simply handed over to subordinate officials for handling, then there is another thing that makes Yu Can completely unbearable.

So many people crossing the border directly completely destroyed the originally stable situation at the state border, and the originally prosperous commercial transactions came to a complete halt!

For Yu Can, every day the border market trading is suspended will cause huge losses, which is simply unbearable!

Especially in order to keep his position as the governor of Jinzhou, he had just bribed a large amount of property to Jinyang and Ye, and was planning to get it back quickly to make up for the shortfall, but he didn't want something like this to happen again, which would destroy the border he had managed to maintain.

The city's business environment has been severely damaged.

"Sima Xiaonian is a dog thief. Why did the imperial court treat him so poorly? He actually rebelled and joined the bandits. He deserves to die! The Qiang thieves are also persistent and greedy. If they are provoked and attack again, they deserve to die! The people in charge of the court are also really incompetent.

If you can't detect the rebellion early and stop it in advance, and if you can't scare off the powerful enemy and prevent it from attacking, you should really die!"

Wei Can was full of complaints and complaints. In his opinion, anyone who interfered with his profit-making should be damned, including the current emperor: "In the old year, when the Supreme Emperor went to war in the south and north, what kind of bright hall did he produce? He couldn't stop the invasion of powerful enemies.

, it will also cost people and money to fight... In the past, I didn't know where to gain from expanding so much territory, and the Qiang thieves came to fight for it and abandoned it, so what a loss it would be..."

Of course, he still didn't dare to complain in public about the second paragraph. He only dared to say it in private to vent his dissatisfaction.

In order to restore order in the state to normal, he directly ordered the transit divisions and brigade not to stay in the state for a long time. Once they exceeded a certain time limit, they would be expelled.

Fortunately, the orders these troops received were to rush to Yedu as soon as possible, stop briefly through Jinzhou and then continue their march, so there was not much conflict on this issue.

But there is one problem that is more serious, that is, many troops are recruited in a hurry and need to obtain supplies and ordnance along the way. As an important geographical center, Jinzhou itself has such functions, and many strategic materials can be easily

It is stored in Jinzhou, so some armies can only form combat effectiveness if ordnance is allocated in Jinzhou.

However, since Weican entered the state, he has been concentrating on making money every day, and he has inevitably been insufficiently attentive to other aspects of affairs and neglected management. And many ordnance requires regular maintenance and cleaning. Once it is not maintained, it will be returned.

Rapid rust damage.

So when some generals, after some flattery and pleading, finally got the armor and weapons needed by their troops, they found out that the armor and clothes were all rusty, and the swords and arrows were all dull, and their hearts were full of resentment.

.

Those who were able to withdraw the ordnance were lucky, because in addition to the lack of proper maintenance and management of the arsenal ordnance, some of the arsenal simply did not even have the ordnance, and was vacated to store various commercial goods. And those who were even with the remaining soldiers were rusty.

An army that cannot be led by Tiedu is naturally dumbfounded. You can't just rush to the front line empty-handed, right?

Originally, the battle was about to begin, and the soldiers were somewhat uneasy. After all, this time they were facing Li Boshan of the Western Wei Dynasty, who had repeatedly defeated them. As a result, on the way to the battlefield, they encountered such harsh treatment and difficulties. The soldiers'

The anger can be imagined.

However, due to Changle Wang Weican's profound background and high position, although these people were quite dissatisfied, they did not dare to be rude at first. They could only plead repeatedly, hoping that Changle King would be considerate of the soldiers and replenish their armor.

However, Wei Can was also in a depressed mood. He ignored all such appeals and just sneered: "There is nowhere else to get ordnance in such a big country? The dignitaries in Yedu have their eyes high and fear the enemy like tigers, so they hurriedly recruited divisions and brigades to come in."

How can the Imperial Guards shorten the armor and staff of you thieves?

I am willing to provide food tents for you to eat and rest in the state. I am worried about the national danger and have high righteousness to show my concern. If you are still greedy and want to force others to do something else, don't blame me for driving you out of the state regardless of my feelings!"

As one of the top Jinyang nobles, Wei Can was naturally not afraid of these arrogant generals. After scolding him, he ordered all the supplicants to be expelled from the city.

The soldiers begged to no avail and became increasingly angry. Seeing that Wei Can was so arrogant and arrogant, some soldiers simply gathered some of their companions and directly seized an arsenal outside Baima City and looted all the goods and property piled inside.

When Wei Can learned about this, he was furious. He summoned the state army to rush here, surrounded the sergeants who participated in the looting, and ordered them to return their property. As a result, the crowd was naturally even more angry, and some of the soldiers who were still tolerant were

After seeing this, they all joined in one after another, directly surrounding Wei Can and his subordinates.

"You thieves, are you going to rebel?"

When Wei Can saw this, he was naturally shocked and angry. Surrounded by his own soldiers for protection, he pointed at the angry-looking Jinyang soldiers and shouted loudly.

"How dare the generals dare to offend the king? They are just ordered to do so and cannot help themselves. Please give the king a staff and let the generals kill the enemy for the country! If the king still refuses to sympathize, the public will be so angry that it may be difficult to control it!

"

A general stood in the chaotic team and shouted to Yucan for his final persuasion.

At this time, another group of people rushed out of the city and stopped when they were still dozens of feet away from the scene of the commotion. The leader was the governor of Jinzhou Town, named Xianyu Shirong.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Xian Yu Shirong did not dare to do anything to provoke the public sentiment. He reined in his horse and shouted loudly from a distance: "You soldiers are also going out to kill the enemy. Now before you arrive at the battlefield, you are causing chaos in the middle of the country.

Isn’t this a clever plan! The governors will quickly lead the troops back to camp. King Changle is a noble relative of the country and will not pursue you for the crime of offense. He will immediately inspect the official warehouse and arsenal and distribute armor and staff supplies as soon as possible!"

Seeing that the situation was so noisy, Wei Can was a little panicked for a moment. He was no longer as stubborn as before. He quickly followed Xian Yu Shirong's words and nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's right! You are about to kill the enemy and make a meritorious service, so be careful.

Don’t make a mistake, I was a government official who did something wrong, and when I return to the government, I will punish you severely, and I will definitely provide you with other supplies!"

The Jinyang soldiers have been maintained for many years and have their own internal rules and regulations. When they saw that Wei Can had bowed his head and admitted his mistake and was willing to make amends, the anger in the hearts of the soldiers calmed down slightly. Under the guidance of several governors,

Return to the camp one after another.

"This is unreasonable! These thieves are really audacious and should be severely punished!"

When the soldiers dispersed and Wei Can was able to return to the city, he couldn't help but cursed and ordered the soldiers who participated in looting his treasures to be captured into the city.

However, in Xianyu Shirong, Mo Duo, Lou Jingxian and other state officials all said: "Your Majesty, please calm down for now. The current plan is to fight against the Qiang thieves. Moreover, the Supreme Lord has returned to Jinyang to take charge. If Jinzhou is here, it will delay the military flight."

, if the Supreme Being is brought to task, then the people involved will not be able to absolve themselves from the blame!"

After Wei Can heard this, his heart trembled and he did not dare to say anything more. When the Northern Qi Dynasty replaced the Wei Dynasty, he dared to act arrogantly and ask for the king's title for his father. That was because the cruelty and tyranny of the current supreme king had not yet been revealed.

, now after witnessing many cruel methods of Master Qi, he is no longer as stubborn as before.

"But today's arsenal is severely lacking in storage, so where can we find it to supply the army?"

It is difficult for a clever woman to make a living without rice, and the arsenal is very empty. Wei Can originally thought of trying to deal with it, but now he can't cope with it, and he can't conjure a large amount of armor and staff materials out of thin air.

After hearing this, everyone present frowned and fell silent. After a while, Zhencheng Xianyu Shirong spoke up and said: "It is better to use a batch of troops from the state army treasury in the city first, and then send the passing divisions and brigades away, and then look for farewell."

Plan to replenish the inventory."

"Yes, but if the state army's treasury is misappropriated, it will put the city's reserves in a hurry!"

After Moduo Lou Jingxian heard this, he couldn't help but frown and said.

When Wei Can heard this, he waved his hands in annoyance and said: "Now the two countries are about to fight in Heluo. How much city defense is needed here! Open the arsenal in the city and quickly drive away these evil spirits!"
