Chapter 15 Money and Food

Although Boss Hu and Zhao Sihai and others had served as Ming army, no one had seen the official seals and seals of the Yongli court. Although Zhou Shixiang was a man of two lifetimes, he was blinded by the certificates of the Yongli court's official position. In the end, everyone recommended that Duke Xiang of Song, who had been the magistrate, come forward to check it.

Recalling the general seal that he stole from the camp and combined with the county magistrate who had kept the county magistrate when he was a county magistrate in the Qing Dynasty, Duke Xiang of Song pretended to behave and confirmed the authenticity of the official body of the Luo Dingzhou general and the seal. Then he pretended to be polite to look at Cheng Bangjun's official position of the Yongli court's official position, and finally nodded to Boss Hu. In this way, the hearts of the men in the house were put back on their stomachs.

Zhou Shixiang was completely relieved. He asked for the inspection. Now the proof is true, so he is naturally happy.

In theory, Cheng Bangjun came to recruit Hu and others from all over the world. This matter could not be false. However, the vigilance habit developed by the army in his previous life still made Zhou Shixiang more cautious. As Hu said, it is not a bad thing to be safe. After all, compared with the Yongli court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty had much more conspiracy against the Ming army and the rebellious forces. Who knew whether they were here to deceive the bandits in Daqiao Mountain, and then waited for them to go down the mountain to capture the place completely.

If these bandits had nothing to do with him, Zhou Shixiang would not want to meddle in other people's business, but now that they know each other and these men are friendly to him. Although they become bandits, they have not forgotten who their parents and ancestors were and are accomplices of the Tartars. Just for this, Zhou Shixiang would do his best to help them. Besides, he ate someone's meal, so he was embarrassed to be soft-handed, and he didn't exert some effort.

After confirming that it was true, Cheng Bangjun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He also wondered if these bandits would break their promises and gave him a stubborn situation. Now things have completely changed to what he expected, and his mentality has become very different. The tone of talking to Boss Hu was very friendly, as if he had been a colleague for a long time. After a few words of politeness to each other, Cheng Bangjun saw that it was almost done, and then he said, "Since you have finished the inspection, please ask General Hu to incense and receive the seal."

When he heard that everyone called him a general, Boss Hu's face suddenly smiled and he quickly ordered his men to prepare the incense table.

.........

The ceremony of Hu Quan's successor to the Luo Dingzhou General could not be complicated or formal. Due to the conditions, everything could only be simple. After the men put on the incense table, the ceremony began.

Cheng Bangjun did not find an imperial edict like Zhou Shixiang who was announced in movies and TV in his previous life, and took out an imperial edict to read it. Instead, he stood in front of the incense table with a solemn expression and said a few words of the Emperor Yongli's "edict". It was basically to encourage those who were granted official positions to serve the court from now on, kill the enemy and make meritorious service, and the court would not treat it unfairly. After the "edict" was finished, Cheng Bangjun transformed into Cheng Yuanwailang again. He took the pen and ink and wrote Hu Quan's name on the blank appointment letter of Luo Dingzhou General. Zhou Shixiang looked at it and had a large seal on the paper, looking at it, it was indeed covered by the jade seal of Emperor Yongli.

After writing his name, Cheng Bangjun held the letter of appointment in one hand and the seal in the other, and sang: "Luo Dingsen General Hu Quan takes the seal!"

"End the end, Hu Quan will be sent to the seal!"

Mr. Hu responded loudly at the situation he saw in Li Chengdong's army that year. After knocking his head, he quickly stepped forward to take the letter of appointment and seal from Cheng Bangjun. In this way, the new Luo Dingzhou General of the Yongli court was calculated.

When Hu Quan carefully looked at the letter of appointment that Moji had not yet done, Cheng Bangjun remembered something and hurriedly said, "General Hu's official uniforms were ready for a long time. Just when General Hu led his troops to capture Luodingzhou, a special person would come to deliver it. In addition, the general's subordinates' duties will be sent to the general at that time. After verification, the Ministry of War will also be appointed."

When he heard that the official uniform was not brought, he had to wait until he took Luoding City himself. Boss Hu was a little disappointed. Then he thought that he was just fooling them, so he would really be able to fight Luoding City. If there was no official uniform, there would be no official uniform. Just ask Mr. Song to write something later and press the seal up. But it was the order of the serious general of the genitals. As for the appointment of his subordinates, Boss Hu didn't think much about it. The surname Cheng made it clear that he could only get the next reward before taking Luoding City. At present, except for this general of the genitals, everything else is a luxury.

"Congratulations to Brother! Congratulations to Brother!"

"The elder brother became a general, and the brothers were also guerrillas in the future, Dusi, and the guards!"

"Hey, I didn't expect that I would become an official in the future. It's really a smoke from the ancestral grave!"

“…”

The men in the room were busy congratulating Mr. Hu. After hearing their vulgar words, Cheng Bangjun was disdainful, but he didn't show his face and always had a smile. When Boss Hu looked at him, he nodded immediately. During this period, he had looked at Zhou Shixiang several times, and it was rare that he smiled and was no longer as cold as before.

After these bandits had enough joy, Cheng Bangjun reminded Mr. Hu, who was still immersed in joy, and said: "Since General Hu has received the order, please tell me when General Hu plans to attack Luo Dingcheng? With the approval letter, I can reply to the governor when I go back."

Hu Quan was stunned when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, Duke Xiang of Song was already speaking first: "Don't worry, since my elder brother has been appointed by the court, he will naturally go to fight Naluo Dingcheng. We have no other requests at the moment, just ask Lord Cheng to go back and can allocate some money and food for us."

"Money and grain?"

Here comes again! Cheng Bangjun snorted secretly and said calmly: "Since you have been appointed by the court, you should allocate money and food, but now you cannot. I will not hide it from you. Since the withdrawal of Xining King's troops, the situation in Guangdong has been unfavorable to our army. There are tight food everywhere, so money and food are also in short supply. We cannot allocate money and food for the time being. General Hu still needs to raise it himself."

After hearing this, Duke Xiang of Song was dissatisfied and said: "The emperor is not alone in hungry soldiers and has no money and food. What can we do to defeat Luodingcheng?"

"That's right, there's nothing to eat in your stomach, and you don't have the strength to fight with the Tartars!" Zhao Sihai also shouted in cooperation.

After the two of them said this, the men hurriedly followed. Boss Hu also said a few words, thinking that it would be better if he could coax the Cheng surname to allocate some money and food.

Cheng Bangjun can’t take out the silver, and he can’t take out the food!

At present, the Ming army in Guangdong is unable to protect itself, and the money and food are even less. If there were enough money and food, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Lian Chengbi and the Governor of the Four Prefectures, would not come up with the bad idea of ​​recruiting bandits. They would have used grain to recruit the people to join the army long ago. They would not have needed these bandits, and would not have given them famous court weapons. To put it bluntly, the Ming army in Guangdong was so poor that they almost became beggars. Apart from the court's righteousness and a piece of paper, they really could not produce anything else.

This is the overall situation, where does Cheng Bangjun raise food and money?

When Zhou Shi met everyone, he started arguing with Cheng Bangjun about money and food. Cheng Bangjun also began to doubt Boss Hu's sincerity in attacking Luo Dingcheng, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Lord Cheng, let's solve the money and food matters ourselves. We will definitely fight Luo Dingcheng!"
