Chapter 1313
will not!

Absolutely not!

Moreover, with his haughty and greedy temperament, he also wanted to bite off a piece of meat from me while warning me, hoping that I would give him military pay.

So why am I in such a hurry?
As long as I don't go, do you really think he can control the soldiers?

The soldiers didn't know that Xu Pengju had made the noise secretly. They naively thought that the noise was just for noise, and they were still encircling the inner city in an orderly manner. It was because the time was short that there was no riot.

However, as time goes on, they have not received an explanation, and their hearts will be angry and flustered. flustered.

No matter how stupid they are, no matter how short their knowledge is, they still know what the war means?
To deal with military chaos, the court has only two methods.

The first method is to appease, and the military salary will be allocated as soon as possible.The second method is to suppress, send a large army to suppress.

So, what does it mean when they find out that the imperial court has not come to appease them?
That means the court is likely to suppress them.

By this time, they found that not only had their military pay not been paid, but they were likely to send large troops to suppress them.All that was left in their hearts was anger and panic.Do you think they will be so lawful? "

Speaking of this, Luo Xin shook his head, sighed and said: "The army is full of anger and panic, and it is still a chaotic army. Do you think Xu Pengju can still control it?"

"Then... we should go to Nanjing as soon as possible!" Yu Dayou said anxiously, "If those rebels are acting impulsively, things will be serious."

"Go as soon as possible?" Luo Xin glanced at Yu Dayou lightly and said, "I'm going, the rebel army must propose some proposals. First of all, they need to reissue their military salary, which is 50 taels, you have, Or do I have it?"

Yu Dayou blushed. How could they have any money at this time?

Not only do they have no money, but they are short of money.The grain and grass given to Hu Zongxian just now is enough for more than a month. They must find a way to get the grain and grass within a month and send it to the front line. Where can they get the money for the Nanjing Jiuwei at this time?
"Secondly!" Luo Xin continued: "They will definitely propose that the Nanjing Nine Guards will never disarm, can I agree?"

"What's more..." Luo Xin's face became serious and said: "With this kind of soldiers, why should Daming keep them?

Also, they will definitely point out that they cannot be held accountable.

Why not pursue it?

Hu Butang led the soldiers to fight life and death on the front line, but they caused chaos in the back, and they didn't pursue it in the end. How could this make the soldiers on the front line feel embarrassed? "

"Then... what are your plans?"

"What's the plan? Hehe... Naturally, there is going to be a fight!" Luo Xin sneered and said, "We must fight to calm down their minds and subdue them. Since they turned against each other, no matter what the reason is, You have to suffer the consequences."

"But……"

"Nothing but!" Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "They are simply a mob, and they are not a prepared rebellion at all. If there is really a prepared rebellion, of course another arrangement will be made. Such a mob, just give them a little Pressure, it will break down. Don't worry, I won't give them a chance to hurt innocent people."

Three days later.

Nanjing inner city.

Nanjing's civil and military officials gathered together, their faces full of restlessness.Xu Pengju's face also lost the expression that everything was under control.

It's been three days!
The reinforcements they sent out to ask for help have not yet arrived, and Luo Xin, the southern manager, seemed to have not received any news. They began to wonder in their hearts whether the person they sent out was dead, and they never went to Suzhou to find Luo Xin. letter.

In the room, Nanjing civil servants were sitting on the left, and Xu Pengju was leading some military officers on the right.Ma Kun, Minister of the Nanjing Household Department, finally couldn't help it, and said to Xu Pengju:

"Duke, now that the city is besieged by rebels, you have to find a way?"

"What can I do?" Xu Pengju said indifferently: "The reason for those soldiers is that the Ministry of Households did not pay them. As long as you, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, are willing to pay them, the clouds will naturally disperse for a day."

"I think so too!" Ma Kun said helplessly, "It will cost 40 taels of silver to pay them back. Where can I find it?"

"Then I have nothing to do." Xu Peng raised his hands and said.

"What do you mean you have no choice?" Ma Kun was anxious: "The Nine Guards were established at the beginning to fight against the Japanese. Now that the Japanese pirates have been wiped out, the Nine Guards have no fighting at all. When there is a war or when there is no war, the military salary can be paid. Is it the same number? Besides, you Xu Guogong is in charge of the Nanjing defense and the Nine Guards, and now the army is in chaos, and you are the most responsible person."

"Master Ma, don't talk nonsense!" Xu Pengju said with a serious expression, "Soldiers are human beings, and they also have to eat. Now that they can't even eat, why don't they ask for military pay?"

"Is this begging?" Ma Kun's beard was raised with anger: "The rebels are besieging the city, what are they going to do? This is to rebel. You, Xu Pengju, are the commander-in-chief of Nanjing's garrison and nine guards, so you are not afraid of the court punishing you ?"

"It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. I don't have money to pay those soldiers, and they won't listen to me. Now the 4000 people in the inner city are all my private money to give them, otherwise the inner city can't be defended. Your lords will be arrested by the rebel army."

"you……"

"Okay!" said Zhu Heng, Shangshu of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry: "Now we still have to find a way to tide over the difficulties together. Xu Guogong, no matter what the reason is, once this chaotic army becomes big, even you can't bear it. You have to figure out Is there a way?"

"Didn't you think about it?" Xu Pengju said lightly: "Didn't you send someone to ask Lord Luo for help? As long as Lord Luo comes and agrees to the military's request, the military will naturally return to their camp, and the matter will be resolved satisfactorily." .”

"Could it be that simple?" Zhu Heng frowned and said, "Agree to their conditions, and it will be resolved?"

"What do you think?" Xu Pengju said lightly.

"Then why don't you go and talk to them?" Zhu Heng looked at Xu Pengju and said, "Isn't this something that's your job?"

Xu Peng raised his hands and said, "What's the use of me talking? I don't have any money to pay them!"

Zhu Heng frowned and said, "If they start attacking the city, or a war breaks out, it will be a big deal."

"No, they're just making noise. It's just that Mr. Luo hasn't come here. It seems that our Mr. Jinglue doesn't take Nanjing seriously!"

Ma Kun snorted coldly and said: "Mr. Xu, you are familiar with Jiuwei. You should go to Jiuwei to talk about this matter, not Master Luo. Once Master Luo arrives, there will be an incident with the rebellious army." Conflict, you Xu Guogong will not be able to eat and walk around."
