Chapter 87 Suppressing Bandits
"General, can you let me fight the bandits now?" Geng Shangzhi looked up at Sitku and said,
"Suppress the bandits? What bandits? Don't do so many things for me. If there are casualties, will you bear it or me? Hurry up and go back with me." Hearing Geng Shangzhi's request, Sitku quickly shouted at him.
Sitku didn't know what Geng Shangzhi wanted to do, but his personality was just to just live a life of silence.
After all, he will not be the Guangzhou garrison general in about a month, as long as he can leave office safely. Whoever likes to encircle Zhang Rui will encircle Zhang Rui? After all, this guy Zhang Rui is too difficult to deal with.
This time it was barely covered up, so the next thing was left to Li Shiyao.
"General, I heard that Zhilianshan has recently occupied a group of bandits, and they are very arrogant. I think where can the Qing Dynasty let this bandits run rampant? And I heard that they have a lot of money." Geng Shangzhi continued unwillingly and said, "
"Why don't this happen? This time I got 50% of the money back to the general, and I just need the general to allow us to suppress the bandits. If there are any brothers who suffer casualties, all of them will be counted as mine. What do you think?"
If possible, Geng Shang never wanted to give any points to Sitku. But there was no way, the senior official level was to crush people to death.
If it were not for the permission of General Sithku, he would dare to lead his troops away privately, and what awaited him would be the scout of his family and extermination. After all, the law of the Qing Dynasty was not a joke.
When Sitku heard Geng Shangzhi's words, he immediately thought about it.
"Although we all agreed that everyone will be at peace before Li Shiyao arrives. But my subordinates will lead troops to attack you, Zhang Rui, so I can't blame me, right?"
"If Geng Shangzhi really has the ability to kill Zhang Rui, then it would be a great good thing. Not only would he get the money, but he would also earn the credit. Even if Geng Shangzhi was defeated, I would pretend that he didn't know. And he would leave many people to him for his own care. If the court asked about it, even if he led his troops out privately, he would be at most a crime of ineffective control."
So Sitku asked Geng Shang straight: "So? Are you confident that you can fight that group of bandits?"
"General, don't worry, I think my brothers from the Eight Banners Han Army can't beat those bandits. As long as the general agrees, I will cut off the head of the bandit leader and hand it over to the general." Geng Shangzhi almost patted his chest and said to Sitku, almost not making a military order.
Seeing this, Sitku couldn't help but feel a little passionate in his heart. So he said to Geng Shang directly
"Okay, it's not a loss for me to be a warrior of the Eight Banners. But you can go over and suppress the bandits, you know the conditions. If it's a victory and triumphant, then I will guarantee you another level. But if you lose, you will be at your own risk. Do you have confidence?"
After listening to Sitku's aggressive move, Geng Shang couldn't help but despise him. He didn't want to bear any charges, but wanted to take credit for it.
However, this is the case in the officialdom, and Geng Shang cannot say anything directly.
"General, don't worry, I understand myself. Just this group of mud legs, my children of the Eight Banners Han Army are still afraid of them? The general just waits for good news." Geng Shangzhi replied passionately.
"Although I am very confident in the battle of Geng Shenling, I still have to remind you. Pay more attention to everything, don't underestimate the enemy and be careful of others' ambush." Seeing Geng Shangzhi like this, Sitku suddenly remembered the scene when he was about to encircle Zhang Rui at first.
"Yes, General." Geng Shangzhi replied disapprovingly.
"If nothing happens, I will tell my brothers about our fight against bandits."
"Go, I'll wait for your news here. I hope I won't let me down." Sitku waved to Geng Shang and said, "
"Yes, General."
At this moment, Geng Shangzhi seemed to be sure of victory. After kowtowing, he walked back to the camp.
On the hillside, there are several huge pine trees.
The pine branches are wide and the needle leaves are green and dense. The rosin is bursting, and pine fruits often fall.
Looking at the tall and wide-open pine tree, people can't help but think of the sentence: "The lonely pine is stopped at the green cover, and the roots are placed on the broad road."
When the sun is strong, pine and yin are a good place to rest.
As soon as Geng Shang returned to the resting place of the Eight Banners Han Army, his three left leaders, Li Hengfeng, Liao Jieren, and Wang Shengli, surrounded him and asked.
"Sir, how? Does the general agree to us strangle Zhang Rui and his gang?"
"I agree, but I have to give him 50% of the money." Geng Shangzhi replied helplessly.
"It's so damn dark. He did nothing. We have to work hard. He just sits and enjoys his achievements, but he wants to share the profit with us."
"that is…"
Listening to what Geng Shang said, the three assistants immediately rebuked them unhappily.
"Stop it, don't talk nonsense here even if you want to die. This is the ear of General Sitku. You will have to take care of it." Hearing the words of the three subordinates, Geng Shang hurriedly stopped them and said, "
"Don't blame anything, we can only blame us for not having a master. Who makes others the Yellow Flag among the Three Flags?"
"Oh...not!"
After hearing this, the three assistant leaders could only remain silent.
"Okay, everyone doesn't have to be too sad. I've seen it. This time I shipped nearly one million taels of silver. This means that we still have 500,000 taels in addition to the given 500,000 taels." Geng Shangzhi said comfortingly, and then ordered him to
"After a while, you will go down and tell your brothers that they will all show their true skills this time. If you win, each person will give twenty taels of silver. You don't have to pay the money for each touching the bun. If you accidentally get disabled, you will get one hundred taels of subsidy, and if you die, you will get two hundred taels of subsidy. However, if you defeat it, there will be nothing."
"Sir, are you giving a little too much?"
Liao Jieren asked after hearing the comforting money given by Geng Shangzhi. The other two agreed with him and nodded.
"It's okay, the key is that we will win this battle and get the money. As long as we win, we will get more, and we don't care about that little money." Geng Shangzhi said generously: "It's not easy for brothers. If you can give more, give more."
"My dear brotherhood is the honor of our brothers."
The three assistants boasted about each other.
Listening to the flattery of his subordinates, Geng Shangzhi was rarely happy. This was the treatment that the superiors should have. He then said
"Okay, go and give orders! Although the other party had mud legs that had just put down the hoe, there were thousands of young and strong people, and the number was much higher than that of us. Moreover, they were the models of the green camp who had just defeated the Governor. They were the time of morale, so they should not be careless."
"Sir, don't worry. Whoever dares not take our words seriously will let him know what's going on. Moreover, mud legs are mud legs. Even if they use tricks to defeat those useless green camp soldiers, they will not be able to defeat the invincible Eight Banners of our Qing Dynasty."
