He is not a smart person like Li Jinglong. The more anxious he is, the more stupid he becomes.
In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, military officers had a history of deficit.
Because they have been fighting for these years, the old man is a military leader and knows these soldiers best. These arrogant generals are unwilling to fight to the death without giving them enough benefits. And they always believe that the more money-grubbing generals,
When fighting a war, one becomes less and less afraid of death.
Because only by killing the enemy can you turn all the enemy's good things into your own. This bastard logic is purely derived from fighting. In the minds of old-school people, there is actually no difference between soldiers and bandits.
So for old-school people like them, losing money is nothing, as long as the amount is not too large.
But this time Tang Fu, the amount was really too big, so big that he himself didn't expect the number to be so big.
"I..." Tang Fu's lips moved for a long time, and there was sweat on his forehead. "Actually, I haven't taken any of these shortfalls. I am a child of a meritorious family. My family is not short of money, and I also bear the heavy responsibility of the emperor."
Well, how can I help with these military supplies?"
Zhu Yunxi sneered, "If you take it, do you think you can still stand here with your head straight and talk to me?"
As he spoke, he frowned again and looked at Tang Fu, wanting to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say to him.
You, Tang Fu, didn't get a cent of the deficit of more than 800,000 yuan. But after all, it was the deficit caused by Xi'an Town Shaanxi Dusi within two years after you took office.
Can you absolve yourself of guilt by just saying that you didn’t take it?
But you didn’t take it, so it’s really a shame to put all the responsibility on you!
"Since you know these shortcomings, you should know whose hands passed through them and how the profit was divided, right?" Zhu Yunxi thought about it and decided to give Tang Fu a chance.
The Tang family cannot fail now, and Tang Fu will still be useful in the future. This is why no one except Zhu Yunxi knows about the deficit in Shaanxi. Even a few people who know the inside story of the private salt matter,
I also thought that it was because of Tang Jing that Tang Fu was brought back to the capital.
If Li Jinglong were here, before Zhu Yunxi could finish his words, he would surely have revealed the whole story of who took how much of the deficit, how the profits were divided, and how the levels were concealed.
But Tang Fu seemed to be in trouble! He bit his lip and was sweating profusely.
"Speak!" Zhu Yunxi said angrily.
Poof, Tang Fu knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I know about the deficit... it is shocking. But... the subordinates in Xi'an Town are all elites from the northwest, and the Qin soldiers under the Shaanxi Dusi are also brave enough to fight and kill.
The best team!"
"They are guilty of taking money they shouldn't have taken, but if it is because of this, they will be dealt with in a big way... I'm afraid..."
"Ha!" Zhu Yunxi laughed angrily, "Afraid of what?"
"The morale of the military is unstable!" Tang Fu did not notice the change in the emperor's tone at all, and continued to say stubbornly, "Not to mention anything else, the commander of the local guard post and others have all led soldiers for ten years. Next
Thousands of households are all accompanied by bodyguards around them, and they are recommended for their military exploits!"
"Yes, outsiders look at them as monolithic and unable to get in. They report to the outside world as one unit. But only an army like this can fight! When the leader gives an order, the people below howl and howl, even if they die, they don't look back.
Rush forward!"
"If we deal with them and replace them with someone else, then the sergeants will not be able to command, and they will not be able to do their jobs, or they will be acting in a positive way, or they will not know the soldiers, and the soldiers will not know the generals. Once there are changes in the northwest..."
There is some truth in what he said. This is what the army of this era is like.
Just as the old man was able to achieve success in the past, he relied on the military to be well-connected from top to bottom. Relatives from the township party, father, son, uncle and nephew. Sharing the good things together and shouldering the bad things together, only then can we be invincible.
To put it bluntly, as for those soldiers in Huaixi, if you were Huo Qubing, they wouldn’t be able to lead Cao, a fool!
"What a bastard!" But Zhu Yunxi had the emperor's considerations, "Oh, according to what you said, I can't pursue this matter of shortfall? Once pursued, the Qin army will lose its combat effectiveness, right?"
"I don't dare!" Tang Fu kowtowed quickly.
"Earlier, if we didn't have these deficits, we would still win the battle! Now there is a deficit of more than 800,000 yuan, and if we investigate it, we will lose the battle. What's the point? Oh, I won't pursue it this time, what will happen in the future? Will it become the norm in the future?
It’s Xi’an Town, and I have to give more than 800,000 yuan of peace of mind money every year?”
The more Zhu Yunxi talked, the angrier he became, which is why he decided to reform military affairs.
Such an army can fight now, but what about in the future? The Ming Dynasty in the original time and space is a living example.
The civil servants disappeared, and the generals maintained private armies. They only had a bunch of numbers on paper, and they couldn't even gather the weapons.
The root is the word "deficit". If the emperor does not pursue it, it will become a rule, an exception, a rule, an unspoken rule and a tacit approval.
The civil servants and military officers collaborated to completely rob the Ming Dynasty. And those miserable soldiers had to go to war without even having enough to eat. Speaking of which, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were worthy of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If you change
Before the Song Dynasty, there was no dynasty that emphasized culture and suppressed military force, and the emperor did not dare to short the pay of large numbers of soldiers.
Damn it, you dare to owe money to be a soldier. Soldiers don’t mind exchanging a knife for an emperor. So at that time, Li Keyong could beat the Khitans and make them run away with their heads in their arms.
But in the Song Dynasty, Gaoliang River was the god of chariots.
"Go back and find Xu Huizu!" Zhu Yunxi said again, "Tell him these things exactly! Don't hide anything!" As he said, he said with a bad look, "I have given you a chance! It's you, instead
Others, do you think I really can’t bear to bring you to Beijing?”
"I know the crime!" Tang Fu kowtowed, "I...Actually, I also know the shortcomings below. It's just that I am not talented enough and have little knowledge..."
"You don't want to take care of it!" Zhu Yunxi sneered, "This is what really pisses me off about you! Why did I send you to Xi'an in the first place? You can control family affairs and qualifications. You can obviously run the army well, but you have to
Do the same thing as light and dust!"
"You are a military commander, not a civil servant. I want you to take care of a group of tigers and wolves for me, and I am not asking you to do something that means there will be no fish if the water is clear!"
"You are a soldier, what do you mean by worldliness? The soldiers asked for money, and I gave them the handle of the knife. Go out and grab it! Besides, these shortfalls are worth a lot of money, will they be used on the soldiers? Even if I give them
I won’t be so angry if the frontier soldiers add winter coats!”
"The atmosphere, the atmosphere, the atmosphere!" Zhu Yunxi said three times in a row, "The civil servants have a bad atmosphere. Do the generals have to be the same? Moreover, under your rule, this atmosphere is still from top to bottom! You say that I will be easily hurt if I pursue it.
You lost your military morale, but if you think about it carefully, why can’t you pursue it? Is it because you were too indulgent in the first place?”
"Your Majesty!" Tang Fu was already crying, "Is it true or not? I am stupid. I failed the Emperor's painstaking efforts and did not lead a good army! I am willing to die..."
"Shut up!" Zhu Yunxi scolded again, and then said in a gentler tone, "Get up, sit there and talk to me!"
Immediately, Zhu Yunxi sighed deeply and was silent for a moment, giving Tang Fu a chance to calm down.
"I have always been at ease with you! You are just like your father, you can handle big things clearly!" Zhu Yunxi tapped his fingers on the table and said with a smile, "But you are confused about small things!" After that, he added, "Short of money."
We must investigate the matter!"
"Otherwise, all the countries in the Ming Dynasty will imitate this, and one town will cost 800,000 yuan. How much a year? I can't even raise this money even if I sell my own money!"
As he said that, he looked at Tang Fu and said, "Actually, you have to understand how much I've been thinking about you!"
