Chapter 24 The lonely city by the sea (2)
When they arrived at a military camp below the city, many soldiers gathered here to rest. Tian San said loudly: "Everyone is more energetic. Our new general flag has arrived!"
"I've seen an adult."
"See sir."
"I've seen an adult."
...
Looking at a group of listless soldiers with a frown, Tang Bohu said to Tian San: "Pull these people out and I want to speak."
"Yes! Sir!" Tian San said loudly.
Tang Bohu stood outside the military camp and watched soldiers wearing dome hats gather slowly in front of him. These soldiers were in poor spirits, had no standing posture, and were not dressed. How could these people use them to fight?
"Tian San, come here!" Tang Bohu waved and said, "How come these people are like this."
"It's always like this!" Tian San grabbed the back of his head and said, "We've always been like this."
Looking at Tian San and Tang Bohu, he continued, "Don't pant and pretend to be confused with me. I have seen that Chengli has enough food and grass, and the housing is not bad either! But why do these guys have such virtues?"
Tian San said with a smile: "Sir, we actually have nothing to lack, but we can't help but feel unhappy."
Listening to Tian San's words, Tang Bohu also understood, "Is there no money, right?"
"Sir, please tell me!" Tian San continued, "We haven't seen our salary for three months. Brothers are really..."
"Where did our salary go?" Tang Bohu asked in a low voice.
Tian San also lowered his voice and said, "I don't know that there is something in front of the lonely city. There are no reinforcements behind the sea. Japanese pirates are everywhere. People dare not send this salary, but it is said that the salary from our battlefield here cannot be paid in. So when will we withdraw this salary before we can get it into our hands!"
"But you say that there are wars here, and our lives are not one day! We have lost our lives before we get the money, so brothers have no idea what to do. At least we can rest assured if we have some money to settle down."
After touching his nose hard, Tang Bohu whispered: "Don't panic, there's no big problem."
"Sir!" Tian San continued: "This is a big problem."
"I'll find a way to do money!" Tang Bohu whispered.
"Then the relationship is good!" Tian San said with a smile when he heard Yinzi, "Sir, why don't you... say a few words to everyone?"
Stepping forward, Tang Bohu said to everyone, "Everyone, I know what you are thinking. I will feel tired after staying in this broken place where no birds are laying eggs for a day. How can I leave? There is only one way to go back with justice, that is, to fight those Japanese pirates back!"
"Everyone is raised by my mother and father, and no one wants their lives to be wasted! You fight ahead one day but not one day, you have no money, you have no reinforcements! You eat cold steamed buns and light soup for wild vegetables. If I were you, I wouldn't want to fight such a battle."
Speaking of the Jinyiwei standing in front of Tang Bohu, they nodded and discussed, looking at the atmosphere, Tang Bohu knew that the temperature was almost done.
Then he said: "These Japanese pirates took advantage of our Ming Dynasty's ban on the sea, plundered our Central Plains women, robbed our Central Plains food, and robbed our Central Plains people of the money! Is it their only robbed us? It's unreasonable!"
"Sir!" Tian San said, "I heard that these Japanese pirates robbed a sea ship a few days ago. They were said to have secretly gone overseas to do business. When the ship came back, they were intercepted by the Japanese pirates. It is said that there are 8,000 taels of silver in it! Now the ship is still on the beach."
Tang Bohu nodded to Tian San knowingly and said, "Brothers, this white 8,000 taels is in front of you, do you want it?"
"Think!" The Jinyiwei, who was wearing a garden hat, echoed loudly.
"Okay!" Tang Bohu continued: "As long as I snatched up these silver, I, Tang Bohu, will all belong to my brothers if I don't take any money!"
"Thank you sir!"
"Thank you sir!"
"Swear to be loyal to you sir!"
...
Hundreds of people flattered each other and almost wanted to worship Tang Bohu as their rebirth parents.
"Come with me!" Tang Bohu took Tian San away and came to his tent to let Tian San go.
"It really sounds like a ship carrying eight thousand taels of silver by the sea?"
Tian San continued: "That day, a group of people fled from the beach. They were from Jiangnan who went to sea to do business. The officials finally learned from their mouths about the whereabouts of the pants."
"How are those guys doing now?" Tang Bohu continued to ask.
Tian San: "These people have violated the Ming Dynasty's laws because they went to sea to do business privately!"
"Does anyone else know about this except you?" Tang Bohu continued, "They only told you?"
Tian San continued: "Many people must know about this, but due to the rampant Japanese pirates here and the surveillance of our Jinyiwei, they dare not take it back. However, the officials would go there every night to check it out. The ship is still docking in that place, but there are a large number of Japanese pirates gathering there, and we may not be able to hold the hand."
The Jinyiwei is also a good springboard for gaining power. Power is a very important thing in this era! His experiences these days made him understand the strength of power. King Ning could take his life if he had a disagreement. The Jiangnan officialdom could seal his path to the imperial examination, and he would never be a civil servant in his life.
When Tian San left, Tang Bohu was smoking a cigarette on his own.
"What are you thinking?" Qiuxiang walked into Tang Bohu's room and asked softly.
Tang Bohu took the tea handed over by Qiuxiang and continued, "If one day I become a notorious evil official, will you still follow me?"
Sitting in front of Tang Bohu, Qiuxiang was wearing the clothes of the Jinyiwei and said, "I know you are a good person. You also want to be a good person. If you become a Jinyiwei, you will be forced to go on this road! I can see how hard you feel. Power is just a means of your desire to survive. The real way of living in your heart is still the Peach Blossom Island."
"Thank you, Qiu Xiang!" Tang Bohu smoked, and the smoke covered his expression. "Chen Guang gave me a chance, but it was a life-threatening road! If I survived, I would be confident in standing among the Jinyiwei! Of course, I would die if I failed."
"Don't say that." Qiuxiang looked at Tang Bohu with distress, "You have no way out now! I have no way out since the moment Huafu came out with you!"
"In order to marry you by a matchmaker, and to live a better life, I will make those guys who mercy on my life look good!" Tang Bohu slashed out the smoke in his hand and said again: "I, Tang Bohu, will leave this road without returning."
