When sending Cao Rong away, Yun Zheng looked up to the sky and sighed, how can there be fools in this world? Jiangmen is investing everywhere, as long as he sees a suitable seedling, he will be happy to give you his heart, as long as you can bring them supreme glory.
, they will slowly draw you towards the general's side, and eventually assimilate you completely.
The reason why Di Qing is looked down upon by everyone is because his background is too low, his luck is too good, and his personality seems to be a bit stubborn, so it is still extremely difficult for him to get along in the capital even though he is a deputy privy minister.
Cao Rong told Yun Zheng what happened to Di Qing as a joke, but it was actually a silent warning that those who didn't mix with them would be killed by the civil servants sooner or later.
This is no joke. Yun Zheng knows how Di Qing died. He died of fear! A commander who was invincible on the battlefield was stunned to death of fear by those civil servants. This is simply a big joke. The vicious thoughts of those people and
The gunfire and arrows on the battlefield are different, and it really makes people feel chilly from the bones.
They were really thoughtful. Cao Rong even started to help Yun Zheng visit houses in the capital, and even asked Yun Zheng if he wanted to bring Yun Er, Su Shi and Su Xun to the Royal Academy. They had many ways...
Walking in the military camp, listening to the snoring of the soldiers one after another, the clouds have calmed down a lot. Someone wants to share the credit. Whose credit should be shared? It is undoubtedly the credit of these soldiers who are sleeping heavily. If these people know that their general is
I wonder if I should give my credit to those dandy boys, wondering if they can still sleep.
The sound of banging came from the thick Diao Dou, which was a sign of safety. The sound of banging spread far away in the quiet military camp, making it seem even more quiet.
A group of sergeants armed with spears, led by the leader, patrolled the camp with neat steps. When they saw Yun Zheng, they did not stop, beat their chests as a greeting, and walked towards the back camp with the sound of boots.
Peng Jiu was riding on a crooked tree and kept drinking. When he saw Yun Zheng approaching, he called out and planned to jump down from the tree. Yun Zheng stopped him and stepped onto the tree himself, taking Peng Jiu's hand.
I took a big sip from the wine gourd. I didn’t know why I wanted to drink tonight, and my heart was very blocked.
Peng Jiu didn't ask the general why he didn't sleep. As a man, if you have something sad to do, just drink some wine. But Yun Zheng couldn't hold it back and whispered about it to Peng Jiu.
Peng Jiu sneered, put the wine gourd into Yun Zheng's hand and said, "Okay, my general, what's the matter? In the past, there were more such things. Wu Shengjun would be robbed of all the credit for doing farm work.
So much so that there was a big joke that our general, the supervisor, harvested 800 acres of rice in one day. No matter what the result, he still got promoted and made a fortune..."
"Isn't it true that you were dragged behind a horse to death if you were promoted to a ridiculous official position?"
"It's not like you and that damn Wen Hanchen were the only governors I served under. There were at least two more before me. I can't even remember their names now. I only remember that he harvested 800 acres of rice by himself."
Peng Jiu took a sip of wine and frowned and said: "Things that are difficult for you actually don't matter in the eyes of the brothers. You remember the names of the brothers who died in the war. During the holidays, you know how to go to their graves to pour a glass of wine and burn them."
He would light yellow paper, go to the widow's house and deliver some rice, and beat the disobedient children a few times. All these things were seen by the brothers.
You have never owed any money or food to your brothers, nor have you ever failed to keep your word. Look, during the great bandit suppression in central Sichuan, more than 200 brothers from our Wu Sheng Army died in the battle, but have you heard any complaints?
No, the families of those who have died are grateful to you. The fifteen ounces of silver buried in the war are almost as heavy as those who died in the war. This money is enough for their family to buy a cow. As long as Wu Shengjun does not collapse, they can send the old man away and the children.
Raising him up is not a big problem, not to mention that as long as Wu Shengjun has a reward, no matter who it is, those women will have money to receive it. Although it is less, they are still a lot after all.
Wu Shengjun all lived in poverty. He was born with neither food nor clothing nor warmth, so his life was worthless. In the past, if he died and was thrown into a pit, he would just get away with it for the rest of his life. Until you come, you can finally give it to your brothers.
A price was set for our lives - fifteen dollars, a perfect fifteen dollars. This money was enough for a poor man to fight for his life.
What's the use of our getting the credit? I wonder, General, have you ever thought about it? We don't have land, and the exemption from taxes has nothing to do with us. We are exempt from labor? We are doing fucking labor every day. Promotion? Hahaha, this is a joke.
In your eyes, a humble position can be regarded as an official, but in the eyes of a chief clerk, he is nothing more than a thief serving the army.
So, General, once there is such a thing as converting credit into money, you must not miss it. Brothers are living by money now. Only our Wu Shengjun has become unparalleled. Our children have all read books.
, these achievements are of real use, don’t hesitate, I, Peng Jiu, put my words here, if in the future a brother thinks that you have done something wrong, you can just chop off my head, Peng Jiu."
Yun Zheng chuckled and said, "There is always a feeling that I have done something wrong."
"It's not a shame. It would be a shame if you didn't do it. Xiang Jun's contribution is actually just a piece of fat. If you don't sell it, we will get nothing. When the time comes, we will be in Chengdu empty-handed, and the brothers will scold me."
Peng Jiu quickly nailed the general's heel to death. He couldn't even hope for something like this, so how could he let it go...
The trusted prime minister Pang Ji did not rest. He took the document and read it again. Han Qi, the political advisor, sat down next to him and looked through the document for a long time. Then he closed the document and asked Han Qi: "Zhigui, what is this Wu Shengjun doing?"
What are their origins, and why are so many people recommending them to go out to fight in Sichuan?" At this point, he flipped through the documents and said: "Zhang Fangping and Liu Yucheng are just that. How come Bao Zheng and Fu Bi are also involved? This is what I can't understand.
What's more, the generals all agree, is it really true that a Xiang army can be more effective than the Imperial Army?"
Han Qi didn't even stop writing in his hand and said lazily: "Who knows, I have always believed that seeing is believing and hearing is false. However, I still believe in the vision of Bao Zheng and Fu Bi, plus Zhang Fangping
He is not a mediocre person, and the fact that he can be recommended shows that this army is indeed outstanding."
Pang Ji smiled and said: "I think so too, but this young general actually demands absolute autonomy, which means that he is not prepared to obey Di Qing's generals and is not under Di Qing's jurisdiction. This is nonsense. Why is he so arrogant?
?”
After hearing this, Han Qi smiled, took a pile of documents from his desk, placed them on Pang Ji's desk, patted the documents and said, "This is my confidence."
Pang Ji smiled and opened a document and read in a low voice: "Luzhou Bandit Suppression Book"? Oh, there is also "Dingzhou Bandit Suppression Book" here, as well as Mianzhou, Hanzhou, Pengzhou, Jiange... so many?
Could it be that there is a large-scale bandit suppression being carried out in the middle of Shu recently? Every one of them has succeeded, and they are ready to report their merits? Is it true? What does this have to do with that magical young man?"
Han Qi smiled and said: "The evidence is conclusive. The heads of the bandit leaders have also been sent here. They are asked to be examined by Kaifeng Mansion. I heard that bandits have disappeared in Sichuan and merchants can travel alone without any hindrance. All this information can be used
It’s proven that officials in Sichuan don’t have the guts to deceive officials like this.”
While Han Qi was talking, Pang Ji had already discovered the trick. That is, the documents in these state capitals all wrote nonsense words like "Wu Shengjun's help" in inconspicuous corners. If you don't look carefully, you will almost miss it.
Lose.
"These bandits were wiped out by Wu Shengjun in half a year?" Pang Ji raised his head in surprise. Since Nong Zhigao's rebellion, he had replaced Chen Zhizhong as prime minister. Everyone knew that if the good old Chen Zhizhong was still used at this time,
, which was disrespectful to the great Song Dynasty, so the old-fashioned Pang Ji sat in this position smoothly.
After receiving all the bad news these days, he finally heard something that made him happy.
Han Qi nodded and said: "Both the Secret Intelligence Service and Liu Yucheng confirmed this. Zhang Fangping is not a person who talks nonsense. If he said so, it is naturally true."
Pang Ji flipped through the documents on his desk again and asked, "Why don't you see Wu Shengjun's report?"
Han Qi said nonchalantly: "He has sold all his credit for money, so naturally he will not report it."
"Nonsense, whoever deserves the credit is the one who deserves the credit. The most taboo in the army is to conceal the merits and not repay them. Doesn't he, a general, know the way to lead the army?" Pang Ji was also an expert in controlling military affairs with literature, so he naturally knew how to conceal his achievements.
What will be the consequences if one's merits are not rewarded?
"It is said that sergeants are paid based on their heads, and the penny is very high. How could the sergeant be dissatisfied? I used to worry that he would not be able to feed more than 40,000 people. Now it seems that my worries have been in vain. He
He clearly had a plan in advance. He started to train the army the day he received the military commission. When the army had a certain fighting strength, he took it out to fight with the bandits. Fighting supported the war. He also trained the soldiers, and finally achieved a strong army.
For this purpose, I have nothing to say to this young man. He was also taken advantage of once. He was blackmailed out of more than 3,000 yuan as soon as he became a political advisor."
Hearing what Han Qi said was interesting, Pang Ji's frown relaxed. Since the local affairs had been discussed well, there was no need for him to be meddlesome.
Due to the heavy fighting in the south, Pang Ji and Han Qi both stayed in the palace to prepare for the emperor's summons at any time. As soon as they finished handling official business, Han Qi ordered his servant to bring in a tea set. After boiling the water, he brewed two cups of tea.
, gave a cup to Pang Ji, and held a cup for himself. It was really nice to have a cup of hot tea on a cold spring night in Kaifeng City.
"This is the new tea that the boy brought over after he deceived me and felt guilty. He asked Zhang Fangping to bring it. I heard it was roasted. I tasted it twice and it is indeed very good."
"If there hadn't been chaos in the south, you and I wouldn't have to work so hard."
"Why should Mr. Chun tell lies in front of others? Nong Zhigao is already old. If he doesn't want the whole army to be annihilated, he has no choice but to return to the army. As long as Di Qing comes here, he will completely remove his lair and kill those who are thieves."
Beheading, the south is settled. That little bastard in Shu is planning to take advantage of the opportunity to take credit. Is it possible that Chun Guild will turn a blind eye?" Han Qi rolled his eyes and said. (To be continued)
