"Dongfu, actually you have made great achievements before you came here, but you still don't know it?" Hengrui said with a smile: "If the front line hadn't known that you had brought elite soldiers here, they would have been deeply aware of the ineffectiveness of the previous suppression of the bandits.

Ashamed, how could they fight desperately on the front line and behead bandits in just one month? In my opinion, half of the credit for Zhang Hanchao being killed by General Mingliang belongs to you? So don’t be humble today.

You deserve everything in front of you."

"In this case, I..." After hearing what his father-in-law said, Na Yancheng didn't want to be humble anymore, so he had to take some noodles and mutton and tasted a few mouthfuls. As expected, the noodles were extremely spicy and the mutton was very spicy.

Refreshing. I have put down half of Hengrui's previous vigilance. He added: "Ah, I should thank you for this meal. But I don't think we can delay the invasion of the army. I will bring it this time."

Five thousand men and horses, Aha, within these ten days, I have troubled to pick out 3,000 men as the rear team. As for Yansui Town and Xinghan Town, I will trouble the Prime Minister of Taichung to report that each of them will send a thousand troops to join our army.

Together, our army has tens of thousands of people marching south. No matter how dangerous the terrain of Hannan Old Forest is, the second graders, Ma Wu, have few people after all, so if we want to capture them in one fell swoop, it's no problem."

"Dongfu, it seems to Aha that there is no need to be so anxious about this battle." Hengrui said: "I think you also know about this battle in the northwest. To the north of the Qinling Mountains, the two provinces of Shaanxi and Gansu have fought several times.

If you are invaded by thieves, you have to fight south. In Aha's opinion, it is best for Shaanxi and Gansu Provinces to join forces to attack in order to cut off the escape route of the thieves and annihilate them in one fell swoop. Aha has prepared three thousand people as a backing for you, which is natural

It's more than enough, but over in Gansu, if we can't split up our forces with you, I'm afraid the thieves will be erratic, and some fish will still slip through the net. In fact, Aha feels that it's not a bad thing for you to be careful and prudent when you're new here. Your uncle is here.

I am a general in Chengdu, but I have encountered some troubles these days, Taichung Prime Minister, why don't you tell Dongfu about it?"

When Na Yancheng looked at the tablecloth, he felt that his face was sincere, and it seemed that what he said later was true. The tablecloth said: "Well... In fact, it was only these days that General Heng learned that the emperor has also sent Beijing to Sichuan.

An important official from the Central Committee went to inspect and said that he was a newly appointed right deputy censor named Guangxing. Sir, do you know him?" Na Yancheng naturally knew the situation in Guangxing and knew that because of the impeachment of Heshen, all the people in Guangxing were

In recent years, Jiaqing has given special importance to him, and he has been promoted from the sixth-rank chief to the third-rank deputy censor of the capital. At this time, he was also sent to Sichuan to supervise the operations of various armies, so he nodded.

"But what this Guangxing did in Sichuan is really... a bit ignorant of the importance." Unexpectedly, Taibu continued: "It is said that when Guangxing arrived in Sichuan, whenever military supplies were dispatched and troops were sent out to encircle, suppress, and intercept,

Regardless of whether he, a third-grade censor, can participate, he has to add a few words. In Sichuan, Lord A is the general of Chengdu, and Lord Kuilun is the governor of Sichuan. Which one is not higher than him in terms of rank? Daily call

How can it be that the military deliberation on dispatching generals did not go through the hands of a third-grade censor like him, as if it violated the emperor's order? What's more, it is said that Guangxing went to Master Kui several times to ask for help.

You have to make arrows and transport military rations at your own will. My lord, please tell me, who is going to take the decision in this Sichuan War? Don’t the words of the general and the governor count? Is it possible that such an important matter as the dispatch of military rations is just a matter of

Can a deputy censor make the decision? Of course, the lower official would not dare to have any objections to the lord. It was just that the matter of direct inspection was actually very different from what the capital had expected. The lord should act with caution.

These things, it seems that there are advantages and no disadvantages in lowering the official rank.”

At this time, Taibu's official position was no longer as good as that of Na Yancheng, so he spoke with humility. However, after listening to Taibu's words, Na Yancheng felt that Guangxing must have been trusted by Jiaqing, and he suddenly became arrogant because of his favor. He also felt a little unhappy in his heart.

But after all, this is Shaanxi, which is different from Sichuan, so he said: "Ah, Taichung Prime Minister, the most important thing in Shaanxi and Gansu right now is the suppression of the capitals of the two provinces? If so, it is not difficult. I will do it tomorrow.

I wrote to Mr. Song of Gansu and agreed on a date to go south together. It won’t take long. Mr. Song is quite familiar with me in Beijing. I think he has no reason not to agree to my plan to suppress the army." At this time, Shaanxi-Gansu Province

The governor was Song Yun, and Na Yancheng thought that Song Yun had always had a good official reputation, so he said this.

But Hengrui said: "Dongfu, I don't need to worry about writing this letter. Aha is quite familiar with the military geography here. Tomorrow, Aha will send a self-study book to Lanzhou."

That's the past. But... Lord Song may not send troops in time to respond to you?"

"Aha, what are you talking about? Mr. Song has always been honest and upright, so the emperor gave him the post of governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. Is it possible that he will refuse to send troops?" Na Yancheng listened to his father-in-law's words and was confused for a moment.

Explanation: Thinking about Hengrui's appointment as general guard, it was actually He Shen who recommended him. However, Song Yun had never been on good terms with He Shen, so he had a little more doubts about his father-in-law.

But he didn't want to think about this. Hengrui had already seen it clearly and hurriedly smiled and said: "Dongfu, you are a little worried. In fact, don't look at the fact that Aha had some friendship with Heshen in the past. Now the emperor is personally in charge.

He Shen's twenty major crimes were exposed to the world. Everyone knew that He Shen had done many evil things. Thinking back, Aha was just confused at the time and misbelieved him. He was thinking of many crimes, but he was afraid that some of them were unfounded.

, who knew it was all true? Aha also knew that Mr. Song had never agreed with Shen before. It seems to you that he and Aha were not the same people, right? It has long been different now. The emperor is in charge, and this Funing has been demoted.

After resigning, Yi Mian and Yong Bao were dismissed from their posts. Who can’t see that if you don’t serve the emperor, you will be dead? So Aha and Lord Song have already cleared up their past grudges and are doing their best to serve the emperor together.”

"It's just that Dongfu didn't know that the general of Xi'an and the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu have always been estranged. There is nothing we can do about it. Although the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu governs both provinces, there is no governor in Gansu, so most of them will focus on Gansu.

In terms of military affairs, as General Xi'an, I naturally put Shaanxi's military affairs first. Therefore, when deploying troops and generals, Aha and Lord Song often had conflicts. Of course, this is not Lord Song's fault.

It's just that the official positions are different, so the emphasis is naturally different." Na Yancheng listened to Hengrui's words and knew that they were indeed true. He couldn't help but hesitate a little and said: "What Aha said is indeed reasonable, but when I come here this time,

Aha, who was in charge of the military affairs in Shaanxi and Gansu, was familiar with Master Song, so he sent a letter to ask about it and set a day to send out troops together. If there was any inconvenience on Master Song's side, I would personally consult with him without any delay.

Come up with the plan to suppress the bandits."

But at this moment, everyone suddenly heard the noise coming from outside the door. After a while, it was getting closer and closer. Among the noise, the sounds of obstruction by the soldiers of Hengrui Mansion soon gradually appeared, but then

At this moment, a loud voice suddenly sounded in Na Yancheng's ears: "Is the imperial envoy at your residence? I want to see you, please!" The man's voice was mixed with the dissuasive calls of Hengrui's soldiers.

Drinking, I couldn't hear clearly for a while. When several lower-level officials sitting by the door saw this, they also stood up and wanted to go outside to block the people who came.

"Don't do anything, let him in!" Na Yancheng listened to the voice outside the door and knew that Hengrui's soldiers were not completely blocking him, but someone was trying to persuade him with good intentions. In addition, the man claimed to be a lower official, so he should be an official of high rank.

He immediately shouted to stop Hengrui's subordinates. When Hengrui saw this, a trace of unhappiness flashed across his face, which dissipated in a moment. He stood up and shouted: "Soldiers outside, please stop first!" The soldiers of the General's Mansion stopped just now.

Live. Immediately, he walked hurriedly, and a figure appeared in front of the living room door, saying: "Is the Imperial Envoy here? I have something important to do, and I came here to ask for advice from you!"

Na Yancheng also came over. When he looked at the man in front of him, he felt that he had gray beard and hair. He was about sixty years old and thin in stature, but his words just now were full of energy. This man's crown jewel was also coral, and the supplement was

The second-grade golden pheasant wanted to come to Xi'an. Apart from the tablecloth present, the only second-grade civil servant was the chief envoy of Shaanxi Province. He took two steps forward and bowed: "It turns out that Lu Fansi has arrived and failed to greet him in time.

I'm disrespectful. But I don't know what important matter Lord Lu has to do, why do you want to ask me today?"

This person was the Chief Minister of Shaanxi Province. Hearing Na Yancheng reveal his identity, he couldn't help but be startled, but then he returned the greeting as before: "Your Excellency, I am the Chief Minister of Shaanxi Province, Lu Youren, and I have offended you today."

, I’m really ashamed, but there is something I want to ask you about right now, and I would like to ask that lord for advice.”

Before Na Yancheng could answer, Taibu said first, "Lu Fantai! It's too disrespectful for you to barge into our banquet. I just arrived in Xi'an at noon today. Your robe has not been untied and your dust has not been washed. How can you do that?"

At this time, why do you come to bother that lord? It’s better to go back as soon as possible and discuss other important matters tomorrow.” Tablecloth does not have a close relationship with Hengrui, but after all, his official qualifications are not as good as Hengrui’s, so he has to play middle ground to avoid Hengrui.

Rui and Na Yancheng interacted with each other, which was not good for themselves in the end.

"If you put it off until tomorrow, it will be too late!" Unexpectedly, Lu Youren said this: "Your Excellency, the matters reported to me by the lower officials cannot be delayed for a moment. Just now, two of your Majesty's captains accompanied me to the Yamen of our domain to report

Regarding the expenditure of food and salary, I would like to ask you clearly about the amount of food and salary. According to the figures reported by your two commanders, all expenses are calculated in silver. When your Lord is marching westward, one man per vest will be required every day.

One tael and five cents of silver are required for each foot soldier, and seven coins of silver are required for each day. My lord, you have brought soldiers and horses this time. There are 1,800 soldiers in the horse armor, and the rest are foot soldiers, right?"

Na Yancheng nodded, and Lu Youren continued: "Sir, if this is the case, the daily expenditure for these soldiers and horses in the capital would be as much as five thousand taels. And at present, the Xi'an treasury can continue to use only one hundred thousand taels of salary.

2. Your Excellency, if your troops and horses are stationed in Xi'an and need such a large amount of expenses every day, Xi'an's treasury will be at its bottom in less than a month! Your Excellency, your subordinates should know more about the court's regulations and know that

In the capital, the monthly salary for horse armor is only three taels, and the monthly salary for Bujia is one tael or five cents. But I wonder why my lord, the daily expenses of these soldiers and horses are more than ten times higher than the normal amount?"

Before Na Yancheng could answer, Lu Youren added: "Also, your lord's chief attendant just told me that each of their chief attendants has his own expenses. According to the custom, each person needs five taels of silver a day. Your Excellency has

Twenty-five senior officers are here, so the expenses for your senior staff alone will cost more than one hundred taels of silver per day! Your Majesty's army also has artillery, and the cost of repairing the artillery equipment has not been included in the lower official's account.

Your Excellency, I came here today just to ask you whether this expenditure is exactly what you want? If you insist that these funds remain unchanged, then Xi'an's treasury will no longer be able to supply your Majesty no matter what.

These soldiers and horses are with them. The lower official will go back immediately. I have resigned from the chief envoy. Although the lower official is dull, he does not want to sit down and eat without food, and he has missed the master's plan to suppress the bandits and the emperor's cultivation grace!"

Na Yancheng listened to Lu Youren's words, but he didn't expect that although he was strict with himself and had many subordinates, as soon as he left the capital, he would blackmail the province in every possible way, and he couldn't help but blush. The tablecloth looked at Na Yancheng's uneasy expression, and Hengrui's expression

Tie Qing had no choice but to stand up and said: "Lu Fantai, you have been the chief envoy in Shaanxi for some time. Did you know nothing about the expenditures of the troops and horses passing through the capital? Did you know anything about the expenditures of the troops in Beijing before?"

Ma, your daily expenses are as much as the lord Chang Sui said. How come today, you are deducting money and food? Is it possible that that lord is born inferior? He is also an elite in the capital who went south to suppress bandits, but his daily expenses are not as good as those of the previous people.

? As for why the treasury is tight, it has been over these years, so why not be tight for a few more days? Don’t you still have the money to raise the Lian Yin? Half of the Lian Lian Yin in this Futai has been donated this year.
