I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 220 Reselling
Jingzhou Government, Jiangling City.

Standing along the river, it is an important town in Jingchu.

After the fall of Yiling in Xiazhou upstream, the rebels did not go down the river to cooperate with the navy to attack Zhijiang and Jiangling, but continued to attack upstream, and successively captured Badong, Xingshan, and Guizhou.

After Cheng Jintang led his army to wipe out several rebels near Xiangzhou, he immediately led his army to Jiangling.

And prepare to attack the rebels in Xiazhou and Guizhou along the river with Jiangling in Jingzhou as the rear.

At the same time, the five armies transferred from Jiangnan Road also rushed to the border of Jingzhou by water, and tens of thousands of troops were stationed in Jiangling City.

This is why the Ministry of War issued a special document to mobilize military rations from Yangzhou to Jingzhou.

It is foreseeable that the rebels will continue to attack westward along the upper reaches of the river, and the imperial army will naturally pursue them along the river.

At the same time, it is necessary to mobilize troops and horses to block its main force from fleeing northward.

But for the complex terrain of Shannan Road, it is actually difficult to do so with the current strength.

Tens of thousands of troops gathered in Jiangling, and the military rations were all distributed by the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion.

The governor's mansion is responsible for distributing the military rations. The master's surname is Wang, his name is Wang Hejin, and he is the younger brother of Wang Hechen, the governor of Jingzhou.

This is also a very common thing in the officialdom and the military, to give this kind of lucrative job to one's own family.

The Jingzhou Governor's Mansion originally had an army of tens of thousands of people deploying food and grass, and it suddenly became an army of [-]. How much money does it take?
But it's hard to die, the king's master has a huge appetite, and the normal deduction of a little bit can no longer satisfy him.

If you open your mouth, you will have to pay [-]% of the military rations.

That is to say, one hundred Dendrobium should be distributed, but only ninety Dendrobium was actually distributed.

Many people and generals gritted their teeth and endured the idea that people had to bow their heads under the eaves.After all, I don't know how long I will stay in the Jingzhou territory. The deducted part is definitely not the master's own. Maybe there are two governors in it.

I don't know if there is Cheng Jintang, who is deployed as the capital, but Wang Hechen, the governor of Jingzhou, will definitely not be able to escape.

Everyone pinched their noses and recognized it.However, after the five armies transferred from Jiangnan arrived one after another, troubles finally broke out.

Qiu Yuan, the cavalry envoy from the left wing of the Shenwu Army, has just arrived at Jiangling City.

I heard that the school lieutenant under his command went to lead the army rations, only [-]% of them.It might be okay to change it to a quilt, and it's [-]% short, and the war hasn't started yet, so it's actually enough to eat, but Qiu Yuan is only sixteen this year, and it's time to be impulsive.

After all, the Shence Army fought in Jianghuai before, and the battle was based on the supply of food and grass from the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion. With Fu Jinchuan watching, it was naturally enough.

Now that they are here, how dare they withhold food and grass?

Can this be tolerated?Even the Marquis of Wu'an has ever withheld my young master's belongings, so how dare you do anything?
He directly took the elite soldiers under his command to the military rations in Jingzhou City to ask for the [-]% that was not given.

Wang Hejin looked at it, okay, those who detained so many people are speechless, you dare to jump out and make trouble like a brat?

Let someone notify the nearby Jingzhou garrison.

The two sides fought directly. Although Qiu Yuan brought few people, only a few dozen, they were all elite frontier soldiers and generals from the Marquis of Anyuan. knocked over.

Looking at it from the Jingzhou army's side, they could only continue to transfer people, and finally mobilized two regiments from the battalion to block dozens of people like Qiu Yuan in the granary.

And Qiu Yuan also knew very well that the king should be captured first when the thief is captured, so he directly grabbed Wang Hejin in his hands.

The two sides confronted directly at the granary.

In the end, the matter went directly to Cheng Jintang, the governor of the capital, and Wang Hechen, the governor of Jingzhou.

One is the son of Marquis Anyuan, and the other is the cousin of the governor of Jingzhou. In the end, both sides can only play [-] big boards each.

Rebuke each other and let the matter rest.

However, Wang Hechen held a grudge here, and when he gave the military rations to the Shenwu Army, he directly ordered people to mix moldy grain and sand into it.

Now even the envoy of the Shenwu Army, Jia Shixun, couldn't hold back his temper, so he immediately followed Cheng Jintang to ask for an explanation.

Cheng Jintang could only comfort him carefully, and called Wang Hechen, asking him to promise that this would never happen again
"Can you make things clean? Who can tell that people's food is mixed with sand? Besides, that kid is the son of Anyuan Hou's family. He showed his face in front of the Holy Majesty. Xun Your son has a very violent temper, can you die if you miss a bite?"

Wang Hechen called his cousin into the study of the Dudu Mansion to reprimand him.

Wang Hejin said with a bitter face: "Brother, don't you want to teach them a lesson? That kid is so worthless. If it weren't for him, 10% of the military rations of these [-] people would have been deducted. After this month, at least It is said that the income is tens of thousands.”

Wang Hechen waved his hands and said, "Okay, what time is it? That traitor has proclaimed himself emperor in Yiling, which is only a few hundred miles away from us. The army has just assembled here, so don't do anything with the rations. If we can't win this battle by then, blame our Jingzhou Governor's Mansion for not supplying grain and grass in time. Also, who did you sell that grain to?"

Wang Hejin rolled his eyes when he heard it, "Have you sold it to the nearby grain merchants?"

Wang Hechen nodded and said: "That's good. When dealing with this matter, be careful and don't get involved with the rebels. If people take advantage of this, it is a serious crime of copying one's family and exterminating one's family."

"Don't worry brother, I understand."

Wang Hejin replied with a smile.But I don't care about it in my heart.

Isn't it just to sell some food, who cares, as long as the money is given.Can the Great Jin Dynasty die?
Besides, what does the death of the Great Jin have to do with him?
After leaving the Governor's Mansion, Wang Hejin came all the way to a wine shop in the city, and came to the private room that had been reserved long ago.

"Mr. Liu, I've kept you waiting for a long time. This brother just talked to me, and he delayed for a while. I will punish myself with a drink." Wang Hejin smiled when he saw the middle-aged man surnamed Liu.

After all, this person sent him money.

"Mr. Liu" on the opposite side said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I haven't waited long, Master Wang doesn't need to be so polite, I will finish my toast with this cup."

"Please, Mr. Liu."

"I don't know how much food Master Wang can give me this time?"

"How much does Mr. Liu want?"

"Thirty thousand dendrobium."

"It's not easy to deal with such a large quantity. This price."

"The price is easy to negotiate, and the bookkeeper can just ask the price."

"Hahaha, I like straightforward people like Mr. Liu, so that's it. Since I want a lot this time, I'll pay the same price as last time, but..."

"But what, Master Wang, please speak frankly."

"Which lady was last time?"

"Oh, Mr. Wang is talking about my sister. She didn't come with me this time. Let her come to drink with Mr. Wang next time."

"That's a deal."

"Don't worry, master, it's a deal."

Before leaving, "Mr. Liu" took out a cloth bag and put it in front of Wang Hejin.

"As usual, this is a deposit, Master Wang will check it out."

Wang Hejin said with a smile: "Mr. Liu does not need to do things, I don't worry."

"In that case, I will take my leave first."

"stroll."

Wang Hejin didn't open the bag until "Mr. Liu" left.The cloth bag may not look big, but it is extremely heavy.The inside is all gold, ten taels and one ingot, a total of twenty ingots

Looking at the fineness of the gold, Wang Hejin smiled with satisfaction.

It's just [-] hu grains, where can't it be poured out?By the way, the food in Yangzhou is coming soon, just report more loss by then
