Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Seven Declare War [Two in One]
Tang Ning's strict requirements for Ling Feng did not involve any personal grudges at all, but came from a relative's perspective, hoping that he could change his past and become an upright man instead of a family playboy.
"You are avenging a private vendetta!"
"I won't go, I don't want to train with them!"
"I want to go home, I want to go home..."
Ling Feng was dragged down by two members of the Blade amidst screams. It was impossible to go home. The four words "military orders are like mountains" also apply to the Forbidden Army. His decision cannot be changed by General Ling.
Tang Ning walked out of the barracks and walked around the camp. Many officers, generals, and lieutenants in the army greeted him respectfully, but they all maintained a certain distance.
In these idle Forbidden Forces, various forces are also intertwined. Although Tang Ning is the general of Zuo Xiaowei, it is obvious that he has not truly controlled these people.
In the team under his command, he still needs some close confidants to be able to do things smoothly. At this time, Tang Ning missed Chen Zhou very much, and it seemed that she had to find an opportunity to get him back from Lu Teng.
In order to prove that he is a man who is not afraid of women, Xiao Jue took all the account books from the past few years from Cansao Junjun, and had them do the accounting day and night for the past two days.
With two dark circles under his eyes, he looked at the people who were turning the abacus and asked: "What, is there a problem?"
One person shook his head and said, "It's not a big problem."
Xiao Jue had a look of surprise on his face and said, "It shouldn't be..."
Cang Cao joined the army and walked in from outside, looked at him, and asked with a smile: "General Xiao, I have also found out the accounts from the past few years. Do you want to calculate them together?"
"No need." Xiao Jue waved his hand and said, "Put these account books here first and I'll send them back to you in two days."
Cansao Junjun looked at him, twitched his lips, and slowly exited.
A moment later, in another barracks, he looked at General Zhang Lang and said with a smile: "General, don't worry, they haven't found anything. If they continue to investigate, they will only bring humiliation to themselves."
Cui Changshi said: "Xiao Jue is just a dandy in the capital. With his character, he should be able to retreat despite difficulties."
…
As one of Xiao Jue's few friends, Tang Ning felt that he still understood Xiao Jue.
If he takes something seriously, he will not be able to pull him back. He will never retreat when faced with difficulties, but will face them head on.
He patted Xiao Jue on the shoulder and said, "You have worked hard these past two days. You should rest first. I will take care of the rest."
"I'll take a nap first, then call me." Xiao Jue nodded, and after saying that, he fell asleep.
Half an hour later, the Hubu Yamen.
Fang Zhe looked at Tang Ning and asked, "Do you want to borrow someone from me?"
Tang Ning nodded and said, "The new year has just begun, so the Duzhi Yamen shouldn't be busy. I'll borrow a few people and they'll be back in two days."
Fang Zhe did not hesitate and said, "You can go to Duzhisi to select people by yourself."
Duzhi Division is the place where Tang Ning once stayed. It can be said that he is familiar with the journey here. When he walked into the check-in room, Doctor Duzhi looked up and immediately stood up and said, "It's Mr. Tang, what is this man?"
Did the wind blow you here?"
"Dr. Chen." Tang Ning cupped her hands and said, "I came here today to borrow a few people from the Duzhi Yamen to help check some accounts."
Mr. Chen said: "Mr. Tang, you are very polite. You brought them out. You can choose them as you like. I will just tell Mr. Shilang in a moment."
"I've already told Mr. Fang." Tang Ning said, "Mr. Chen can just help me pick a few people."
Dr. Chen nodded and said with a smile: "Master Tang, sit here for a while, I will go right away."
The Du Branch of the Ministry of Accounts represents the highest level of Chen Guo's accounting. These people were brought out by Tang Ning, so they naturally know their abilities.
Dr. Chen was not stingy either. Tang Ning only needed four people, but he gave Tang Ning eight people. In this way, the accounts that originally took two days to calculate were now not needed for one day.
In the Qiaoqi camp, Tang Ning looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, please work harder today. We will stay in Tianjin tonight. General Xiao is treating us. You can eat and drink as much as you want."
"Don't worry, sir, I promise to complete the mission!"
"Since I left the Ministry of Finance, I have never eaten food from Tianju again. I miss you so much..."
"Everyone, please work hard and try to finish these things within today, so that you can go to Tiantianju in the evening!"
…
The officials of the Duzhi Division are the ancestors of accounting. No matter how clever the accounting is, it will not be hidden in their eyes. Professional matters should be left to professionals. In the barracks, the only sound of the abacus is crackling.
Their calculations were completed faster than Tang Ning expected. Before dark, Wai Lang, a member of the Du Branch Division, handed him a copy of the results.
Xiao Jue slept until night. When he woke up, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, "What time is it?"
Tang Ning looked at him and said, "I'm up. I'm waiting for you to treat me to Tiantianju in the evening."
Xiao Jue rubbed his face and said, "What kind of guests are you inviting? I haven't checked the account yet..."
Tang Ning handed over a thin book and said, "Finished checking."
"So fast?" Xiao Jue took the book, looked at it, and said, "This guy is greedy enough..."
After he finished reading, he looked at Tangning and asked, "What should we do next? It seems a bit fussy to hand this thing to His Majesty. If we submit it to the Ministry of War, there is no chance that it will be suppressed..."
Tangning looked at him and asked, "Why did the Ministry of War suppress him?"
Xiao Jue shook his head and said: "The Ministry of War still has to give Zhang Chao and Princess Yiyang face. There are too many problems with the Forbidden Army, and the Ministry of War has never paid much attention to them..."
Tangning glanced at him and asked, "Have you forgotten who your father-in-law is?"
"Minister of the Ministry of War..." Xiao Jue looked at him and waved his hand: "Oh, you don't understand. Lu Ya's father seems to have some objections to me. I don't want to trouble him..."
It's strange that Lu Ding has no objection to Xiao Jue, just like Rich Man Tang always dislikes him. Since Xiao Jue doesn't dare to go to Lu Ding, Tang Ning can do it herself.
After all, he is still the Minister of the Ministry of War. Although he cannot directly manage the affairs of the Imperial Army, the Minister of the Ministry of War can. In the Ministry of War's reputation, he should be a little more generous than Zhang Chao.
…
In the Xiaoqi camp, Zhang Chao suddenly stood up from his seat and asked: "Cang Cao joined the army and was taken away by the Ministry of War?"
The expression on Cui Changshi's face was still a little unbelievable, and he nodded and said: "The problems in those accounts were found out. The Minister of War, Zhou Shilang, personally brought people over and took Wang Canjun away."
Zhang Chao looked ugly and asked: "Why does the Ministry of War suddenly take care of these things?"
Although the promotion and assessment of military attachés are under the control of the Ministry of War, the situation in the Sixteenth Guards is very mixed. The senior generals of the Forbidden Army have more or less backgrounds. The Ministry of War is unwilling to cause trouble easily. Otherwise, for so many years, he would have long been unknown.
How many times has the Ministry of War taken him away?
Cui Changshi looked at him and said: "Prince-in-law, this General Tang seems to be really hard to mess with..."
"He is declaring war on me..." Zhang Chao clenched his fists and said: "Since he doesn't know how to show appreciation, let him know who is the master in Zuo Xiaowei!"
…
Taking away a Cang Cao to join the army was equivalent to cutting off one of Zhang Chao's arms, but this was not the final result that Tang Ning wanted.
He likes to do things without worries first, and does not want to be overstepped or hindered by others at critical moments. Kurasao's position in joining the army is more important, and it should be in the hands of his own people.
In addition to Kurasao's position in the army, there are also some positions that require one's own people.
Xiao Jue looked at him, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, this matter is taken care of by me."
Huang family.
The Huang family in the capital is a general family that is about to decline. It can no longer even be called a general. It only retains the title of Lord. No one in the family is in the military. In another generation, I am afraid that it will only be regarded as a wealthy family in the capital.
.
Xiao Jue saluted a middle-aged man and said, "Hello, Uncle Huang."
The middle-aged man looked at him and said with a smile: "Long time no see, nephew Xiao Xian is becoming more and more heroic."
His tone was a bit sad. The Xiao family and the Huang family are both generals, and they have been declining in recent years. However, with the Holy Family and Xiao Jue, a rising star, the Xiao family may be able to continue its glory for decades and still be in decline.
Given the chance to make a comeback, the Huang family could only watch as the family declined step by step.
The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Jue, who had risen rapidly in the past two years, and then turned his head to look at his son who only knew how to play, and sighed secretly in his heart.
Huang Yulong looked at Xiao Jue and asked, "Why do you have time to come to my house?"
Xiao Jue looked at him and said: "To make a long story short, there is a vacant position in Zuo Xiaowei for Cang Cao to join the army. Do you want to go?"
"In no mood."
Huang Yulong shook his head without any hesitation and said: "You, Zuo Xiaowei, are not a place for human beings. I met Ling Feng yesterday. This guy is two times thinner than the last time I saw him. The last time I saw him, he was half
A few months ago, I lost so much weight in half a month, and I wouldn’t even go to a place like this..."
When he heard that Cang Cao was joining the army, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly lit up. Before Huang Yulong finished speaking, he covered his mouth, looked at Xiao Jue, and said with a smile: "Mr.
Sit down for a while, drink a cup of tea, and Yu Long and I will have a chat first."
Huang Yulong was pulled into the inner room by the middle-aged man, took his hand away, and said in surprise: "Dad, what are you doing!"
"What else do I want to ask you for!" The middle-aged man looked at him and said angrily: "Tell me about you, you can't pass the imperial examination, you can't pass the martial arts examination, I'm licking my face and I can't even beg you for even a small thing.
Captain, now that you have such a good opportunity in front of you, you actually don’t go?"
Huang Yulong looked at him and said, "But I don't want to go to the military camp. Look at Ling Feng..."
"Can you compete with Ling Feng? Can our Huang family compete with the Ling family? Ling Feng's father is General Jin Yuwei. Is that your father?" The middle-aged man looked at him and said: "The Ling family is so prominent.
Ling Feng didn’t go too, what reason do you have for not going? You have to go today if you go, and you have to go if you don’t!”
Huang Yulong shook his head and said, "You can go if you want, but I won't go anyway."
The middle-aged man looked at him and asked, "Are you sure?"
…
Xiao Jue sat on a chair and after drinking a cup of tea, Huang Yulong limped out of the room.
Xiao Jue stood up, looked at him, and said, "Although it is just a small opportunity to join the army, it is also a rare opportunity. Do you want to go?"
Huang Yulong nodded and said, "I think so."
…
The middle-aged man personally sent Xiao Jue out of the house and said with a smile: "Nephew Xiao, go slowly!"
Huang Yulong stood beside him and looked at him, and said somewhat depressedly: "Dad, isn't it just the eighth-grade Cancao who joined the army, are you the same?"
"You know nothing!" the middle-aged man glared at him, "Xiao Jue was just a junior captain a year ago, and now he is a right-hand general. You both grew up playing together, so why are there such differences now?
So big?"
Huang Yulong lowered his head and whispered: "That's because he is still the uncle of the state..."
The middle-aged man said: "What did you say?"
Huang Yulong immediately said: "It's nothing."
The middle-aged man looked at him and warned: "Anyway, this opportunity is very rare. Just follow Xiao Jue and Tang Ning this time. Whether the Huang family can turn around or not depends on you."
"I know." Huang Yulong nodded. When he looked up, he saw the middle-aged man walking out of the house and asked, "Dad, where are you going?"
"Go to the Liu family." The middle-aged man said disdainfully: "This time I want to show him whose son is incompetent!"
…
Cang Cao's position in the army is not high, he is only in the eighth rank, but he is in charge of important warehouses. If someone wants to tamper with property, they cannot avoid Cang Cao's joining the army.
Although Huang Yulong has no fame, he is at least a disciple of the generals. If he is directly promoted to be a captain or a captain, if he does not meet the requirements, he will be criticized. However, it is not a big deal for a true eighth-grade cansao to join the army. Tang Ning only needs to support him.
Just one chapter is enough.
As a lieutenant general, he still has some power.
Xiao Jue looked at him and said with some distress: "I care about Huang Yulong but not Liu Jun and Mu Yu. In addition to the Liu family and the Mu family, there are several other families who have also come to the Xiao family and want me."
We will also arrange positions for them in the army, but Zuo Xiaowei has no vacant positions now..."
"There's no rush." Tangning said while drawing circles on the paper with a pen, "It will be free in two days."
There are many destitute generals in Beijing, and many of their families are facing the dilemma of having no successors.
For families like the Liu family, the Huang family, and the Mu family, the heirs in the family are not up to par, and the elders can only protect this generation. They very much hope that their sons can have a job in the army.
Liu Jun and the others have a close relationship with Xiao Jue and have interests with the Tang family, so they are more trustworthy than others. It would be perfect for them to fill the positions that Tang Ning circled.
She just didn't know what Zhang Chao would do. Only if he made the first move would Tangning know how to counterattack.
Tangning walked outside the barracks and noticed that the training ground was a little different today.
In the huge training ground, only Ling Feng was running laps seriously, while the others were extremely unfocused. The captain responsible for training them was nowhere to be seen.
[PS: I have something going on these days, and I am outside most of the time. I will try my best to update, but the time may not be fixed. If the update is missing, I will make it up in two days. I will update two-in-one today, and there will be no update in the afternoon. 】
