When the county magistrate heard this, he also frowned.
"Master, think about it, if this man named Ma recruits soldiers, who will these soldiers belong to in the future?"
"His surnamed Ma will not always be in our Sanhe County. When the time comes, if these soldiers die in the war, they will be considered ours. If they do not die in the war, won't they all be taken away when his surnamed Ma leaves?"
"Then our Sanhe County government has been busy for a long time, but in the end, there is nothing!"
"Not to mention, a lot of food and grass will be provided for military use."
Chief Huang said to the county magistrate.
"Um!"
"What you said makes sense."
The county magistrate nodded.
Mr. Huang saw the county magistrate nodding and continued:
"Sir, I always feel that this person named Ma came here a little strangely..."
Master Huang was about to speak but stopped.
"Weird?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Go on!"
The county magistrate couldn't sit still, so he lay down on the wide chair.
"Master, think about it, the governor also said when he came last time that he was not very satisfied with our Heyang County."
"This Heyang County belongs to Chen Dadao, and Chen Dadao used to be General Fan's personal soldier!"
Master Huang said slowly.
"Yeah, what's going on?"
"I know everything you said."
"Then what?"
The county magistrate didn't understand.
"master!"
"Obviously, this is all for you!"
Mr. Huang tapped the table with his hand.
"Um?"
The county magistrate sat up with difficulty.
"First of all, sir, think about it, why does Chen Dadao keep so few people behind?"
"With this small number of troops, even the bandits and thieves can't be wiped out, and they won't withdraw. It's obviously just to find a reason to stay."
"Secondly, don't forget that your brother-in-law is the governor of Beihai County."
"The governor of Beihai County is a member of the governor, and he, Chen Dadao, is a member of General Fan."
"In our Hezhou state, General Fan and the governor have always been at odds with each other."
"So I boldly speculate that it is very possible that Chen Dadao deliberately let this horse here, and then deliberately caused trouble, and then forced the adults to leave!"
"In this case, all of Heyang County will belong to Chen Dadao."
Chief Huang said to the county magistrate.
The county magistrate was suddenly shocked.
"Can this still happen?"
"Then I'm going to be in trouble?"
The county magistrate was in a panic at this time.
"Master, it's very possible!"
"Otherwise, think about it, why does this guy named Ma keep looking for trouble with us as soon as he comes here?"
"What kind of food and grass, what kind of ordnance, what kind of defense, etc."
"As a military prince, what rights does he have?"
"This is clearly an act of overstepping and seizing power!"
Master Huang said coldly.
I heard the chief clerk say this.
The county magistrate also responded.
Thinking of what Ma Yuanming had done before, the more I thought about it, the more it was the same as what the chief clerk said.
"Master, the reason why he did this is obviously to deliberately find trouble and thereby weaken the authority of the master."
"I used the same thing with the government officials before, just to let them know that in this county, it is his surname Ma who has the final say, not the master."
"But after what happened last time, it's hard for him to come here openly."
"This time we plan to recruit troops again, it will definitely draw money from the bottom of the cauldron!"
"Master, we have to be on guard!"
Mr. Huang said solemnly to the county magistrate.
"damn it!"
"That's unreasonable!"
"I am a magistrate, and this Sanhe County is my territory. How can I be bullied by a little military prince like you?"
"no!"
"This must not go on like this!"
"Old Huang, do you have any ideas?"
"In your opinion, what should we do about this matter?"
Although the county magistrate has become angry, it is really difficult for the county magistrate to think of any solution.
"Master, the most urgent task is to get rid of this Ma Junhou first!"
"It is the master who leads him, not him who leads the master!"
"Since he is deliberately trying to take down the city defense, we will start with the city defense first. He has three fires as a new official, so I will put out these three fires for him first!"
Mr. Huang pointed his hand on the table and said.
"That's right!"
"Put out the fire!"
"We must kill his majesty!"
The county magistrate slapped the table.
"But...he has soldiers now!"
"If those soldiers rebel, it will be very difficult."
The county magistrate couldn't help but shrink his neck when he thought about the soldiers who had rushed in before.
"Sir, the Marquis is not a local official, and he has no control over us. He is acting like this. It is obvious that he does not take you seriously!"
"The more tolerant you are, the more willful he will be!"
"Although they have soldiers, they rely on us to control their food and fodder. If we limit their food and fodder, they will destroy themselves if they don't attack!"
"I heard that Ma Yuanming loves his soldiers as much as his sons. How can he let them starve like this? Maybe he will give up power."
Master Huang seemed to have already thought of a countermeasure and said confidently.
"Um?"
"What a great idea!"
"That's it! If you bully me, I won't agree!"
"Hey, Lao Huang, you are still good. Such a difficult matter can be solved in three strokes, five divisions and two divisions."
The county magistrate stretched out his huge palm and touched Master Huang's head.
Just like when I touched wealth before.
Master Huang stood up and bowed.
"To share the master's worries, this is what a lower official should do."
"I have resigned."
As the chief clerk said this, he withdrew, with an imperceptible gloomy smile on his face.
…
Inside the military camp.
Ma Yuanming is supervising the soldiers' training.
Then I saw the grain inspector walking over with an angry look on his face.
"Report to the army!"
"The grain I received from the county government today is not only insufficient in quantity, but also just some chaff!"
"Even the horses' food has been reduced by half!"
"The official went to inquire, but was told that the county government had no food!"
"Marquis, hurry up and take a look!"
Hear what the grain inspector said.
Ma Yuanming couldn't help being furious!
So many of their soldiers are training desperately here, thinking of going out of the city to kill thieves.
Even if the people in their county don't help, they are still tampering with the food and grass!
Undoubtedly digging your own grave!
Ma Yuanming immediately grabbed a fast horse and ran towards the county government office.
As soon as you enter the door.
But I happened to see the county magistrate eating.
He stepped forward angrily.
"grown ups!"
"Why are our troops short of food and grass for no reason?!"
"How can we fight a war without food and grass?"
Ma Junhou was angry.
"Hey, is Marquis Ma Jun here?"
"This is really the wrong thing to blame."
"It's not that we don't provide food and grass, it's because Sanhe County is also running out of food and grass."
"Before, the people of Sanhe County tightened their belts and gave the best food to the military camps, but now there is really no food."
"This is a year of great disaster. We really have no choice."
"Even this officer is just a bowl of thin rice porridge. He only wants to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers!"
The county magistrate showed Ma Yuanming the bowl in his hand.
The clear soup inside is not watery, with a few rice grains floating on top.
For a moment, Ma Yuanming didn't know what to say.
"this……"
"Sir, our officers and soldiers are already undergoing heavy training. If we don't have enough food and grass, our morale will definitely be unstable. I hope you can think of a way!"
Ma Yuanming was forced to say helplessly to the county magistrate.
