Zu Gongmao nodded, took a sip of wine with a smile, and continued: "If nothing else, the imperial court really did not add a grain of grain or a cent of military pay to Mucheng. Now our Mucheng garrison has been reduced to 8,000. The reason for this is
Military salary can only
Your Excellency will pay for it yourself." At this point, he shook his head with a wry smile, raised the wine in his hand to toast everyone, and continued: "Fortunately, Your Excellency, you have obtained a lot of money earlier, otherwise how could we, the Mucheng garrison, persevere?
."
Wu Song did not expect that the imperial court was so unfavorable to Mucheng that it should have voluntarily abandoned Saibei, and did not give a single soldier's salary. How could he support eight thousand soldiers with only the money collected by Zhang Xiaowu? He couldn't help but ask: "My lord's money,
Can it last for half a year?"
"Probably," Hu Sanwan said.
Zu Gongmao thought for a while and said: "Twenty years will not be a problem, if there are only 8,000 soldiers."
Wusong was shocked: "Isn't it just a little bit of money?"
"Seven hundred thousand taels of silver, a year's military pay for the Qinglong Army."
Wusong almost lost his temper. How could these 700,000 taels of silver be called a penny? This penny could kill someone.
Hu Sanwan hissed and said with a smile: "Only us old people know this secret. You have never thought of monopolizing this money, so our old brothers in the old camp feel warm in their hearts. So what if he takes it?"
"Do you think my lord is as good as you?" Zu Gongmao teased.
Hu Sanwan then talked about the situation in Mu City. At the end of January, the imperial court sent Su Yu to lobby the Dog-Yi Alliance. However, Zhang Xiaowu was worried that Su Yu would not be able to do it alone, so he took Ruan Qingwen with him, and four people on the Yaojin line
Month, finally achieved success. After a lot of hard work, Mohe and Beiyi took the initiative to withdraw their troops, while Shengfan was forced to withdraw. In addition, other servant armies also made some movements. The dog-barbarian coalition was about to collapse, and the situation in northern Saibei became increasingly better.
After Zhang Xiaowu and others returned to Mucheng at the end of May, they once again adjusted the deployment of the city in just a few days. Everyone performed their duties. Xiao Kai and Hu Li were in charge of city defense, Zu Gongmao and Shen Lindong were in charge of the garrison camp, and Wen Ruyu was in charge of the baggage.
In terms of food and grass, Li Yuan was responsible for scouting the cavalry, Li Chuncheng was responsible for public security, Guancheng was responsible for the garrison, and Hu Sanwan was responsible for gathering intelligence; in terms of civilian officials, Guan Xiang was appointed as the magistrate of Mucheng and chief secretary, Ruan Qingwen was appointed as the county magistrate, and Zhang Tongming was appointed as the general manager of Mucheng.
Headhunting.
"Originally, the chief arrester should be Zhao Suo." Hu Sanwan sighed.
Wu Song's expression darkened, and he felt guilty for Zhao Suo. He always felt that it was him who had caused Zhao Suo to be imprisoned. Hu Sanwan felt relieved when he saw this. In the future, after Wu Song joined the army, he became Zhang Xiaowu's deputy.
Among the 20,000 soldiers and civilians in Mucheng, he can be said to be truly one person below ten thousand. Moreover, Zhang Xiaowu had great ambitions, and Wu Song's assistance was needed for the specific fortifications in Mucheng.
Zu Gongmao smiled and said: "Your Excellency will not forget us, nor will he neglect us."
Wusong nodded and said: "After I came back this time, I also heard some comments from my servant during my training, and found that he has changed a lot. He seems to be more calm and not violent at every turn."
"Because he is the city lord." Hu Sanwan laughed.
Zu Gongmao shook his head and said, "He is only twenty years old."
Wu Song was stunned and asked: "You said, I am only twenty years old?"
"Yes, only twenty years old."
Wu Song said: "Looking at his face, I thought he was in his thirties."
Hu Sanwan hurriedly hissed and said with a smile: "Don't let the adults hear it." The three of them burst into laughter again, Wu Song said: "In terms of xinxing calculations, I really can't tell that the adults are only twenty years old. I heard
He is just a commoner, so how can he have such a calculating mind? Those nobles who come after him probably don't have the calculating mind like him."
Hu Sanwan Dao: "Adults are very wise, have extraordinary martial arts, do not love wealth, do not love color, and can buy people's hearts. It is really rare. How is he so good."
Zu Gongmao said: "When the adults are flying, in the two wolves, when I accompany him to participate in the Twelve Golden Douyan Meeting, Yin Shi works against students from Daizhou Daizhou.
Wu Song said: "Are we three of us shot a horse? The adult is not here, this horse is not shot."
"Hahaha ..." The three laughed for a while. After drinking, Wu Song said: "With my opinion, adults will have some achievements in the future, you and I have to be attached to the adults."
"Natural and natural." Hu Three Wan thousands, "Speaking of me, I followed him the longest, and he knew him most. He was a broad -minded heart. As long as you are loyal to him, there are some small mistakes.
As long as he is loyal to him, he will forgive it. "
祖公茂立即抢话道:“就像你贪墨钱粮?”
Hu 30,000 flushed his face and said, "Passive, where is I greedy ink? I am obviously taken! Besides, I took money and food, so I did n’t do something wrong with adults. You are fine!
"
The ancestor shook his eyebrows and smiled, and he was angry at him deliberately.
Wu Song busyly persuaded: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, don't quarrel, don't quarrel -otherwise, you killed him?"
“那有你这么劝架的,你这坏种.”胡三万笑骂.
Wu Song said: "But I can't guess what adults draw. If he wants to do one thing, he will do everything possible, but what do he want, do you know?" The two shook their heads, Wusong Dao:
“我总感觉,大人似乎有一种超脱你我的心性,更像是我在看史书中的故事一般.”
祖公茂道:“你这是什么意思?”
Hu 30,000 also scratched his head and said, "Mr. Wu's speech is too responsible, our heads are not enough."
Wu Song explained: "I mean, he seems to be not a person in our world. It is too terrible to calm down. His choice seems to have rarely made mistakes. Do you remember that he killed the old man who slandered him on the street?
If you don't want to kill people, there is no hesitation at all. Instead to you and me, where will there be such a fast response? "Wusong held his chin and said," So there is a kind of adults -beyond you and me. "
Hu Three Wan laughed and said, "You are so fart, I and my ancestors are ashamed, hahaha ... Come, drink, drink, drink."
Wu Song took a sip of wine and thought, "I'm not a fart, I really found him calm."
In the early morning of the next day, Wu Songtian got up to work before the light. After the morning food, he came to the defensive ambassador. Everyone in the government was busy. Wumatong heard that Zhang Xiaowu learned martial arts in the backyard and let people take it to the backyard.
Sure enough, when Zhang Xiaowu was practicing horse riding and shooting. This backyard was the yard that the schedule was almost saved by the horse and was rescued by Zhang Xiaowu.
Half, the other half of the arrows just wiped the target.
The guards cheered loudly, but Zhang Xiaowu was dissatisfied. At that time, he was shot by the captain of the school. Now he can't shoot anymore.
