After Tang Yin finished speaking, he was about to walk out. Yu He leaned forward and hurriedly grabbed him, saying repeatedly: "General Tang, we have something to discuss! Military resources, military pay and food and grass, it's not that I don't want to give it, but
There are real financial difficulties..."
"Have any difficulties?" Tang Yin sneered. With Yu He's fat head and big ears, no matter how you looked at him, you couldn't tell that he had any difficulties. He shrugged and said, "Okay, if you have difficulties, then tell me about your difficulties."
Come up here and listen!" With that said, he threw Yu He away and walked out again.
"Wait a minute!" Yu He was really anxious and said with a forced smile: "General Tang just wants military resources, military pay, and food and grass. These can all be solved."
"When will it be resolved?"
"This...give me half a month..."
"No!" Tang Yin interrupted him and said, "I want it now."
"Now?" Yu He grinned secretly and said in embarrassment: "Isn't this... this is a bit too rushed?"
"That's your problem, not mine. In short, I want it now!" Tang Yin said firmly: "Military resources, military pay, food and grass, all must be prepared for 50,000 people."
"What? A share of fifty...fifty thousand people?" Yu He was dumbfounded. It took him a while to react, and he stuttered and asked: "Why...why do you need so many?"
Tang Yin said seriously: "In order to resist the invasion and harassment of foreign enemies, I think the three corps in Pingyuan County should be expanded to five corps. As for this, I will report it to your Majesty. Mr. Yu, do you have any questions?
"
"This...this..." Yu He didn't say anything for a long time.
"Your Majesty asked me to take charge of Pingyuan County just to stabilize the north. If the situation here does not improve, your Majesty will naturally blame me, and I will naturally drag you into the water, Mr. Yu." Tang Yin said with a smile: "Cooperate.
It will be better for me and all of us. I will guard my Pingyuan County and you will be your Taiping Lord. Otherwise, if you make me uncomfortable, you will not be able to live a stable life. At worst, you and I will be finished together!"
He spoke in a relaxed and relaxed manner, but Yu He broke into a cold sweat as he listened.
He supported Fu Sheng's painful forehead and said: "I will definitely cooperate with General Tang's request, but now it is really... too difficult for me to prepare so much military supplies, military pay, food and grass."
The corners of Tang Yin's mouth raised, and his handsome face had an evil look that seemed to be a smile but not a smile. He said quietly: "I have just said, this is your problem, not mine. If you have difficulties, then you should find a way to solve it. I
Just wait here. If you don’t see what I want tomorrow morning, then Mr. Yu will have to accompany me back to the capital, or..."
As he spoke, he walked up to Yu He, poked his head, his handsome face was almost touching Yu He's big face, and said word by word with a smile: "Or, I can just carry your head back to Yancheng.
, meet your Majesty!"
Yu He was so frightened that he almost fell off the bed. Tang Yin's smile made him feel no warmth at all, but only an outright cold feeling. The bloodthirsty and evil eyes clearly said that he could really say
Do it.
He was afraid. It was the first time since he became the county chief that he felt afraid.
I don’t know how long it took, but Yu He finally came to his senses. The fat on his face trembled suddenly, and he said tremblingly: "Okay! I... I will let someone prepare it right now!"
Tianyuan County is not poor. It has three counties, seven cities, and twenty-three towns. The annual tax revenue is not small. Moreover, because of the continuous war, the annual income tax collection is not turned over to the royal court. In turn, the royal court has to allocate funds to
Tianyuan County, impose the defense here.
It’s not that Yu He doesn’t have money and materials in his hands, it’s just that he is naturally greedy and feels that these things belong to him only if they remain in his own hands. Once they are distributed, they belong to others. If they can be withheld, they will be withheld, and if they cannot be distributed, they will not be distributed.
, I really couldn’t stand it anymore, and it took a long time before I was willing to pay out a little bit.
Now that Yu He was forced by Tang Yin, he had no choice but to compromise for the sake of his own life and future career. He was unwilling to pay for his old capital.
Zhang Zhou, who had been watching from the sidelines, almost thought he was in a dream. Yu He, who was so penniless, actually wanted to distribute 50,000 yuan in military funds and military pay to Pingyuan County. This was incredible. This new county magistrate was different from the previous ones
The county magistrate is very different. He dares to fight hard and act impulsively, but he also speaks sharply and keeps Yu He in submission.
Even before they worked together, Zhang Zhou was already deeply attached to Tang Yin.
Yu He worked very efficiently. He loaded more than 600 vehicles with 50,000 shares of military supplies, military pay, and food, but it was ready in less than three hours.
Rows of carriages were parked neatly in front of the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion, and if you looked around, you couldn't see the edge.
When everything was ready, Yu He's generals came to report: "Sir Yu, all the necessary materials are ready. Can you take a look at them personally?"
Yu He had already put on his official uniform at this time, but his face was wrinkled and almost squeezed out. These materials and money were all accumulated by him through "hard work", and now he wanted to give them away for free, just like cutting off his flesh.
Where do you want to see again?
He was heartbroken, turned to look at Tang Yin, and asked with a dry smile: "Does General Tang want to check?"
"Of course!" Tang Yin raised his head to Zhang Zhou and Guyue and said, "General Zhang, Guyue, you two take some brothers out to have a look!"
"Yes!" Zhang Zhou and Guyue agreed and walked out quickly.
When they got outside, they both felt a little dizzy when they saw the cars lining the street. They asked their men for torches and then took a car to inspect them.
In front of the motorcade are bags of grain and grass. If you open an opening at random, snow-white rice will flow out.
Further back, the vehicles were filled with military supplies, the brand-new armor was shiny, and all kinds of weapons were sharp.
Several cars parked in front of the gate of the county magistrate's mansion were filled with boxes, surrounded by guards. When they opened the lids and looked inside, they saw neatly stacked silver.
In the dark night, the white and silver light is particularly dazzling.
Seeing this, both Zhang Zhou and Guyue couldn't take their eyes away.
With so many boxes of silver, it is estimated that there are tens or even hundreds of thousands of taels at least. The military pay of 50,000 people is indeed enough.
After a while, the two looked at each other and nodded in unison, indicating that the thing was correct. Then they both returned and handed over their orders to Tang Yin.
After receiving confirmation from Zhang Zhou and Guyue, Tang Yin felt relieved, smiled calmly at Yu He, and said, "Thank you, Master Yu, for your help today. I will certainly be able to fight against the barbarians in the future. Of course, Master Yu's share of the credit will be indispensable!"
"Haha!" Yu Heying smiled dryly. He didn't care about merit or lack of merit. Now he just wanted Tang Yin, the evil star, to get out of here as soon as possible. It was best not to see him again in the future.
"Since I have all the things I need, I won't disturb Mr. Yu. I'll see you later!" Tang Yin casually cupped his hands, and then, without waiting for Yu He's reply, he led a group of subordinates out.
I hope they will never see each other again, and it is best that he can die in Pingyuan County! Looking at the backs of Tang Yin and others, Yu He could no longer pretend, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by hatred, and his two big fat hands tightened
Holding on the ground.
After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said to everyone around him: "No one is allowed to tell me what happened today. If someone can't control his mouth, then be careful with his head!"
"Ah? Yes, yes, Master Yu!"
Yu He didn't want the news that he was coerced by Tang Yin to spread, otherwise, wouldn't he, the county governor, become a laughing stock?
Most of his subordinates still don't know the ins and outs of the matter, but they just find it strange and don't understand why the usually stingy county governor suddenly became generous and all of a sudden rationed so many supplies and military pay to Pingyuan County.
Tang Yin can be considered satisfied after receiving 50,000 yuan worth of supplies.
Before meeting Yu He, he really had the urge to kill him, but after meeting him, he changed his mind. Although Yu He was greedy and annoying, he was timid, cowardly and easy to control. If he really killed him,
Even if Wang Ting does not blame him, getting a tough new county guard may not be beneficial to him.
Tang Yin's temperament can sometimes be very irritable and impulsive, but his mind is also very alert, thoughtful, and his level of delicacy is far beyond that of ordinary people.
This time we returned from Shunzhou to Hengcheng, and there were no more accidents on the way, nor did we encounter any bandits. After all, they were nearly 3,000 men, and the bandits probably did not dare to provoke them.
When passing by the forest where the bandits were lurking last time, Tang Yin waved his hand to Zhang Zhou and said seriously: "There are powerful enemies outside, and Pingyuan County is already in chaos. Bandits will never be allowed to appear again within the territory. The bandits last time,
It must be annihilated as soon as possible.”
"Yes, yes..." Zhang Zhou nodded in agreement, but his expression was not natural.
Tang Yin did not ignore his embarrassed look. He chuckled and asked, "What? Can't General Zhang do it?"
"This..." Zhang Zhou frowned and looked like he was hesitating to speak.
What he hated most was this expression. Tang Yin's face darkened and he said dissatisfied: "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't hesitate like a man!"
"Master Tang, the thing is like this." Zhang Zhou was silent for a moment, then Fang whispered: "The leaders of this wave of bandits are twin brothers, named Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao. They are the third and youngest of the four Shangguan brothers.
The fourth brother, Shangguan Yuanji, the eldest of the Shangguan brothers, is a well-known philanthropist in this county. In the past, most of the grain and grass in the army were donated by Shangguan Yuanji..."
Before he could finish speaking, Tang Yin waved his hand and interrupted: "Wait a minute! The four Shangguan brothers you are talking about, their eldest brother donated food and grass to our army, but the third and fourth brothers are the leaders of bandits?"
"Yes... that's it." Zhang Zhou smiled bitterly. He was also very surprised. They were all brothers, so why were the four Shangguan brothers so different in their behavior?
