ps: Sorry everyone, the child is sick and has delayed many things.For the sake of hurrying up and writing code words in the ward, should I give a monthly pass? !Thanks!

The quartermaster who came before the generals' formation raised his foot and kicked off the lid of the silver box containing the silver dollars, exposing the silver dollar roll wrapped in red mulberry paper to the broad daylight.

A guard took out a roll of red silver dollars and broke it with force. There was a clear and pleasant sound, and dozens of silver dollars fell into the silver box.

Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamation in the camp.

"According to the establishment system, go forward to receive the salary. The grace of the general must be distributed to everyone!"

Prepared according to the battalion at that time. There are 11 people, one armor, two corps leaders, each in charge of a corps of firecrackers and pikemen, plus one armor leader.The five armors form a team, with one captain.The four teams form a whistle, with one whistle chief.The two sentries are one general, and there is one person who handles the general.

Distributing the favors paid by the South Central Army to the Guangdong officers and soldiers to everyone is undoubtedly an investigation of the true strength of the Guangdong officers and soldiers through this form.

Those quartermasters were veterans for many years, and they knew at a glance whether the soldiers in the battalion were veterans or recruited at the last minute.

"The servant stepped forward to collect his salary!"

Ma Rujin didn't think of this, but excitedly waved hundreds of servants under him to come forward to receive three silver dollars each.

The servants, who were used to being arrogant in normal times, were already gearing up, and when they heard the commander's order, they rushed forward with strange screams.

"Bang! Boom!"

The guard next to the quartermaster raised the firecrackers in their hands, and the ground they rushed towards them was three blunderbusses.

"I've been a soldier for so long, don't you know how to stand in line?!"

"Go back! Stand in line according to the organizational system and come back!"

"Those who dare to conflict will be regarded as mutiny and executed on the spot!"

Several guards with guns in their hands yelled loudly, and the quickest one pulled out the bayonet bayonet hanging from his waist from the leather belt, put it on the muzzle of the gun, rotated it slightly, and heard a soft click, Knowing that the bayonet has been closely integrated with the firecracker, the firecracker is already a short spear at this time.

"Stop for me! What a disgrace! Stand in line! Stand in line before you get your reward!"

Ma Rujin also felt ashamed of the group of servants under him.

He ordered his subordinates to hand over the prepared army book to the quartermaster. His experience and habits over the years made him respectful to this quartermaster who didn't know the grade.Who let people hold the power of food and pay?

Quartermaster ordered someone to carry a table.Moving a chair to sit at the foot of the flag, he rolls names according to the military records and establishment, and every time he counts a person, he has to look up to see the person's appearance and temperament.and the condition of the armor on his body.Afterwards, someone next to him would follow his instructions and write down his judgment on the payer in a notebook.After that, someone filled out the ration card, which included the soldier's life, rank, and the amount of salary he should receive.The quartermaster personally distributes the grain cards to each soldier.Under the guidance of the guards next to him, each soldier who received the grain badge went to the side to receive his own share of grace.Every soldier who received the white flowers and silver dollars smiled and thanked each other, and there was a joyous, peaceful and joyful atmosphere in the entire array.

but.In the process of receiving the military salary, the quartermaster and his colleagues have gradually sorted out the situation of Vice General Ma's camp in this process.

With a small trick, those household slave tenants who were temporarily pulled in to make up the number were cleared out.

"What is your name?"

Ask again as usual when receiving the grain card.

"What is your name?"

Ask again when you receive the money with the food card.

More than 1000 battalions were sorted out in this way.

For those soldiers who cannot give their names, or have to be reminded to say their name on the bill, unfortunately, the bill is marked.

Especially those with dark complexion, thick hands and feet, flustered expressions, and incomplete armor, behind the names they said, there was a specific symbol that was clearly visible to the quartermaster.

Other than that, the people didn't change anything, just like any new officer who gave some rewards to his subordinates, they just watched those servants with silver dollars in their hands either happily, or talking wildly, laughing wildly, discussing Do you want to eat and drink with the money, or go to whore and gamble.

Side by side with these Guangdong local officers and soldiers, a battalion officer of the Liao Brigade is standing side by side, probably because they really can't stand such a move.Suddenly, the crowd roared like a thunderstorm.

"Whose meal shall we eat?"

Then, there was a more intense roar, as if instinctively.

"Let's eat my lord's meal!"

"Whose pay do we take?"

"Let's take the lord's salary!"

"Whose gun shall we carry?"

"Let's carry the master's gun!"

"Who should we sacrifice our lives for?!"

"We should work our lives to the lord!"

"What are we fighting for?"

"We fight for ourselves!"

"For the family to live a good life!"

After the neat and orderly question and answer, the whole camp recited in unison.

The Guangdong officers and soldiers were startled by the majestic and neat roar at first, followed by a collective sneer, "Hey! It is only right and proper to fight and die for whoever gets paid!"

However, the ideas of the officers are much more complicated!

The arrival of the supervisory battalion, the road standard battalion, and the main barracks made the whole venue even more screaming, lively or chaotic.

According to what they said, we are also Guangdong officers and soldiers, and we are also here to fight against the red-haired Niyi. Naturally, this award is indispensable.

But well!

"What? Brother Ma, what are you talking about? Soldiers are required to collect money one by one? Since the beginning of the world, this military salary has been paid to us military officers, and then it is distributed step by step. When will it become a payment?" Is it in the hands of everyone who eats food?!"

"That's right! If everyone pays by name, we, what should we do?!"

The meaning of the title.If they were all named and handed out one by one, not only would it be impossible to deduct, but the true strength of each battalion would also be exposed clearly.

However, those who can get involved with guerrillas, generals, deputy generals, and generals are not fools, and they quickly found a way to deal with them.

"Brother Ma, lend me your soldiers for a while, and after roll call and payment, I will share [-]% of your military salary!"

"That's right! Lao Xia! Lend me your soldiers! I'll give you [-]% too!"

"Old Wang! If you borrow soldiers and horses, you will share [-]%!"

"Old Zou!"

"Old Shi?!"

"[-]%? Don't even think about it!"

Faced with the request of the comrades, a group of officers and generals headed by Ma Rujin refused with one voice!

"If it's [-]% less, don't mention it!"

"Twenty percent!"

"Four percent!"

"Thirty percent!"

"make a deal!"

A soldier lease agreement was reached so briefly and quickly.

It's weird, isn't it?But this is in the Chinese army.Especially a scene that often appeared at the end of feudal dynasties in the past dynasties.If you are interested, you can read "The Appearance of Officialdom", "The Status Quo of Strange Things Witnessed in 20 Years" and other condemning novels in the late Qing Dynasty.There are vivid descriptions of how the army pays for nothing, how to deal with Shangfeng's inspection and other tricks.

When Sun Yat-sen organized the so-called military government to protect the law in Guangdong, he often encountered such things.Some warlords who were frustrated or lost their strength in the field bragged to our forerunners how much strength they had, and then they asked for military pay, supplies, and supplements.If Guangzhou sent an inspector.So they rented some troops from the nearby warlord troops.

The forerunners learned that this force has such strength.Naturally, we must try our best to support them.Then there is the assignment of combat missions.These warlords lay on their concubine's bed and smoked big cigarettes, waiting for the battle report from the front line.

When other troops win, they also report victory.Then there are rewards, military pay, supplies, and funeral expenses. If you are defeated, it will be easier.We need supplies, we need to restore the organizational system, we need weapons and ammunition.

Therefore, for the sake of protecting the law and the great cause of the revolution, the pioneers had to plunder the people in the city and suburbs of Guangzhou to supply these commanding officers who were hungry for nothing.

The tortoise crawled ahead to open the way, and the tortoise followed behind.With such a precedent, the warlords who lost the civil war in various provinces went south to Guangzhou to join the cause of revolution, and under the leadership of Mr. Zhongshan, they carried out the cause of protecting the law.

For a time, in Guangdong, troops from almost every province gathered, such as Henan Army, Shaanxi Army, Jiangxi Army, Dian Army, Guangxi Army, Qian Army and so on.These troops generally have one characteristic: there are more generals than school officers, more school officers than lieutenants, more officers than soldiers, more soldiers than robbers, and more guns than bullets.

This strange phenomenon continued until he had his own army in Huangpu.

However, in the Ming army at present, such things are commonplace.

. . . . . .

"My lord, we spent more than one hundred thousand silver dollars, and it's worth it."

In Shou Han's tent of the Chinese army, Muyagou still maintained his unchanging expression for thousands of years, and reported the military situation to Shou Han in a strange tone.

"How's the strength?"

"As we have told you before, there are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the vicinity of the provincial capital of Guangzhou, on both sides of the Pearl River and up to the mouth of the sea. In fact, there are only more than [-] soldiers capable of fighting. Roles like officials, general's personal soldiers, servants!"

"Alright! The fire is here!"

Sometimes it depends on means to mix in the officialdom, but more often it depends on strength.Shou Han can now proudly say that in the entire Ming army south of the Yangtze River, there is no army that can match Shou Han's troops near Guangzhou today.

Throwing the account book in his hand aside, Shou Han stretched beautifully on the bed.

"Old Mu, send me an order for officials at all levels in Guangdong to come to the camp to see you tomorrow morning!"

"My lord, the officials in the mainland may not be able to think highly of us from the bottom of their hearts. This...will they come back to see you?"

Shou Han sneered, jumped off the bed with both feet, and stepped on the wooden plank paved to prevent moisture. The soft wool blanket on it felt very good.

"Don't come? That's even better! What is the Guanfang issued by the emperor to supervise the suppression of Guangdong and Guangxi? It's just a copper lump? The thousands of soldiers and horses we deployed in Guangzhou are made of clay? Dough sculptures? !"

"If you dare not come to see your boss, I will use the name of the governor to lock up those who dare to act recklessly, and then name them for investigation. Let's see who dares to eat the bear's heart and leopard!"

Shou Han's words are not in vain.In his shogunate, the person who wrote the inscriptions for the emperor and the court had already drafted a draft, which probably meant that a certain official did not listen to restraint and was rebellious, so that he rebelled against the barbarians and violated the world, the people were devastated, and the prestige of the celestial dynasty was damaged, etc. wait.

It is certain that with such a test book, the emperor and eunuchs who have been fed by Li Shouhan's money and food will definitely put their butts on Shouhan's side.not to mention.The fighting power of the army in the hands of the defender.But it is obvious to all the ruling and opposition parties.

Therefore, any official who is on the list will definitely be arrested by the Tiqi sent by the capital and sent to Beijing to be imprisoned.

And all the officials here are not fools.After receiving the official document sent by the South Central Army, although some people jumped and cursed in front of their colleagues.He sternly reprimanded Li Shouhan for his domineering and reckless behavior.but.Early the next morning, no one was absent.

Today is the ceremony of attending the court.

Minister of the Ministry of War, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi military affairs and food and payment affairs and governor of Guangdong Zhang Jingxin, political envoy Jiang Yihong, political envoy Chen Zhimei, Chen Yicheng, envoy Huang Chenghao, deputy envoy Shao Mingshi, envoy Shang Zhouchu, prefect of Guangzhou Yu Ziyi and other civil officials.With Ma Rujin, Xia Zhimu and other generals, according to their respective yamen and ranks, they stood in front of the camp gate with their books in hand, and they were going to see the Governor-General Li Shouhan and General Li Shouhan on the matter of suppressing appeasement in Guangdong and Guangxi.

However, some strange people and things happen at any time.

Just at the gate of the camp, the officials were curiously, excitedly, and anxiously observing the soldiers on guard duty in front of them, and wondered whether these tiger and ben troops in front of them were the servants of Governor Li and General Li. My lord's servant, then, what are those people in Guangzhou city at this time?If they are all servants, how many servants and money and food should Mr. Li have? !When he was trying to develop his association ability, Ge Zhengqi, the inspector censor, came to everyone with disdain.

"It's just a second-rank General Dragon and Tiger, a Wuffler! Why are you so grand? Waiting here with full clothes and official etiquette?"

"Ge Yushi, don't talk nonsense! Mr. Li is a person handpicked by the emperor! A person who has made great contributions to the country and society!"

As the head of the official circles in Guangdong and Guangxi, although he was very dissatisfied with Li Shouhan's domineering style, Shouhan had the foresight to list the honor guards bestowed by Emperor Chongzhen in front of the camp gate.Okay, you don't accept me, but don't you accept what the emperor bestows?So, where do you put the emperor, the father who you recite dozens of times every day?

Ge Zhengqi glanced at Zhang Jingxin, "Minister, this generation of warriors is just relying on some minor contributions to the country, so they are here to do their best and get what they want. The book of sages we read is about to impeach this generation of warriors! For the sake of peace between heaven and earth!"

"you!....."

Zhang Jingxin clearly felt that his supervisor, the general of the Chinese Army, and a group of military officers such as Ma Rujin were already a little ready to move, and his indignation was palpable.Obviously, Li Shouhan's act of distributing favors and the strength he demonstrated a few days ago have already made these people seek refuge, and Ge Zhengqi's words undoubtedly pushed the entire general group in Guangdong to Li Shouhan's side. Drive sparrows.

If after the civil engineering change, the military officer and the Xungui group were devastated, resulting in the dominance of the civil official group.The civil official group treats the military generals as servants by taking charge of food and salaries, and they can abuse and abuse them at will. , can hold their heads up and accept the bow of the general soldier.

But today is different.

This Master Li has tens of thousands of strong soldiers in his hands, all of them are elite tiger and ben divisions, and there are giant warships showing their power on the water, each ship has dozens of artillery pieces, the power of a single cannon can split mountains and crack rocks.What makes these officials even more convinced is that this adult does not use Guangdong's military salary, which is even more unstoppable.

If you want to use Guangdong's money, food and military pay for guest soldiers, these adults have to be picky, that is, there is an imperial edict and appointment from the emperor, but the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.Don't say that you are Li Shouhan, even Li Guang, the parachutist back then, would also be angry with Captain Ba Ling.

But now, Zhang Jingxin felt that his fate seemed to be in the hands of Mr. Li in the camp.

Looking at the soldiers who were not looking sideways, Zhang Jingxin suddenly had a feeling in his heart, as if they had an indescribable, unexplainable, and extremely powerful power.This power is beyond his comprehension.In front of this force, he was as insignificant as an ant, and it seemed as easy as crushing an ant to death if they wanted to crush themselves.

Amidst the gusts of autumn wind, they stood with their heads held high, holding their weapons tightly in their hands. Zhang Jingxin was shaken by the arrogance of a master of all battles.

Some cool autumn wind passed by, blowing the fiery red helmet fringes on everyone's heads flying up and down, like flames, looking from a distance, it was a tumbling fiery red color.

Ge Zhengqi, the censor on one side, chattered freely.

He cast his eyes on Yu Ziyi, the prefect of Guangzhou, who was born in Wuyuan, Southern Zhili. He raised hundreds of fat pigs and tens of thousands of catties of bacon and other meat for the South Central Army and the local army in Guangdong, and prepared to be a labor force. for.

Although Ge Zhengqi's grade is only the seventh grade, which is much worse than Yu Ziyi's fifth grade capital magistrate, but since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he has been ordered to patrol the places. Although the grade is low, his authority and responsibility But very important. "According to the inspections of ministers, prefectures and county officials, the impeachment is especially special, major matters are judged, and small matters are decisive."

The scope of powers includes inspecting warehouses, checking money and food, encouraging schools, praising good people, and eradicating beetles. No avoidance."

Basically, all kinds of affairs in the places under inspection, such as military administration, civil administration, justice, finance, education, etc., can be involved.

Right now, Ge Yushi became interested in the labor supplies that Yu Ziyi had prepared.

He was going to go forward and question the magistrate Yu Ziyi, where did these pork and mutton food come from, whether it came from the treasury, what kind of money should this fund come from, and whether there was anything greedy about it.

Seeing Ge Zhengqi approaching towards her with a face full of dark clouds, Yu Ziyi, who is the capital, knew something was wrong. This damned crow was probably after her.Immediately, I made 12 mental preparations to deal with this person's harassment.

At this moment, a cannon rang out in the Shouhan camp. (To be continued..)
