Whenever the distribution of benefits can best demonstrate personal ability and social wisdom, Ye An will not make a stupid arrogant gesture, but instead sincerely thanks Zhuo Guojun for his military service.
"Zhuo Zhizhou led the people of Chuzhou to feed the army with pots of food and milk. Ye Ansheng was very pleased. The Xiang Forbidden Army had just been established not long ago. I also asked Zhuo Zhizhou to praise him a lot to strengthen his will!"
Zhuo Guojun did not expect that Ye An would praise him like this when he came up and let him speak in front of the army. This gave him a lot of face as the governor of Chuzhou.
Zhuo Guojun, on the other hand, was embarrassed: "Yehou's words are serious, Zhuo cannot bear it! Yehou led his elite troops to defeat the bandits in Jiudou Mountain and eliminated this great trouble for our Chuzhou. He is actually the benefactor of our Chuzhou. How dare Zhuo do this?"
Speaking nonsense in front of brave men?"
"The love between the army and the people. The Xiang Forbidden Army was rewarded by the people of Chuzhou in the first battle just after it formed an army. Ye Hou was extremely moved!" Ye An said as he brought Zhuo Guojun into the army, just to let him see
The misfortunes of the Xiang Imperial Army soldiers.
Zhuo Guojun sighed slightly: "The bandits from Jiudoushan have been entrenched in Chuzhou for a long time. They were wiped out by the imperial court before, and then they revived. Now they are wiped out by Ye Hou. We all know the reason. I have been the governor of Chuzhou for five years.
, I also know a little bit about the past..."
"Zhuo Zhizhou is here for money?"
Ye An stopped being polite and asked directly. Unexpectedly, Zhuo Guojun was very happy: "Hou Ye, I think Zhuo came here just for money. I also have a share of the money from Jiudou Mountain in Chuzhou. It is the blood and sweat of the people."
Money, after all..."
"Part of the money on Jiudou Mountain cannot be touched. The official seal of Jiangnan Road under those silver ingots must be sent to the court. As for the rest, our Imperial Guards also want to give Chuzhou a share of the pie, but the officials have already issued an edict.
If you capture it in the first battle, you can keep it for military use!"
Ye An moved Zhao Zhen out. It was not impossible for Zhuo Guojun to take a share of the seizure of the Xiang Forbidden Army, but he should at least let him know that he had the final say here.
As the Jianghuai economic envoy, Ye An was much higher than Zhuo Guojun in terms of rank and mission. If it were not for his lower age and qualifications, Zhuo Guojun would not have dared to make such a request.
"Just follow Ye Hou's arrangements..."
Ye An smiled, Zhuo Guojun deliberately showed weakness and actually told himself how much to give and let him make the decision. This was already a big concession.
Knowing clearly that he was here to ask for money, Ye An stopped delaying when his words reached this point, and called in the army Sima Dao: "This time to encircle and suppress the bandits in Jiudoushan, Chuzhou rewarded the laborers for their great efforts. From the captured
Separate some..."
The Sima of the army understood instantly and showed an "I understand" look in his eyes. Now it was his own Marquis who had the final say, and he knew how much he should give.
In this way, Chuzhou's interests were satisfied, and Ye An also achieved the purpose of training the Xiang Forbidden Army, and also received high returns. Of course, the most important thing was to let Zhao Zhen and the court see the role of the Xiang Forbidden Army.
Although the civil servants of the Song Dynasty must have complained about the appearance of a powerful army in the hinterland except Tokyo City, the current situation seems to have more advantages than disadvantages.
Ye An has been giving Zhao Zhen a lot of advice during this period. The core content is to make him feel at ease with the Xiang Forbidden Army. As long as the court respects them, the most important thing is that Zhao Zhen, an official, gives them respect and attention.
If there is no shortage, then this powerful army in the heartland will definitely be loyal.
Ye An didn't directly point out these words, but the old Zhao family was very good at winning people's hearts, so Zhao Zhen must understand what he meant.
The Xiang Imperial Army was very relaxed on the way back. They came with nothing, but when they returned, they used the van to carry a lot of wealth. Although most of them were copper coins and silver ingots, as well as some goods, it was enough.
They were laughing from ear to ear.
When did the Xiang army capture such things? How could they keep so many of them? Ye Shuai was so kind-hearted that he didn’t even want his own money, but put the money into the army’s envoy’s money.
, part of which was also used to subsidize brothers who died in battle.
The Xiang Imperial Army sang the military song compiled by Ye An for them: "The Xiang Imperial Army is brave and good at fighting, killing the enemy to ensure the safety of the people... Who dares to take away the edge of my sword, crush Xiaoxiao and return it!"
This was not singing, but roaring. Their feet were light and their sound shook the sky. Zhuo Guojun's subordinate Yamen's legs were numb and trembling and he said: "Zun Zhou, are these still those mud-like Xiang troops? Look.
It's even more powerful than the Forbidden Army!"
"You don't even know what kind of person Ye An is. He can defeat Li Deming and make the party members fear him. Do you think he is a Taiping Marquis in name only? Looking at this, the Xiang Forbidden Army is now an army."
For the first time after the Xiang Forbidden Army formed an army, they shouted out their dignity. Ye An did not mention a word about the deserters, but they all knew in their hearts that from now on there would be no more deserters in the Xiang Forbidden Army.
Looking back, Zhuo Guojun smiled bitterly. The money Ye An left for him could not be said to be small, it could only be said to be troublesome. These were official money, silver ingots and gold ingots carried by merchants from various states, and they also had the official title on them.
Marks, the only way to eliminate these marks is to melt them and recast them, but the fire consumption is a huge expense!
This Ye Changsheng even put this little thought into it, and he could only eat Coptis chinensis without speaking. Fortunately, he actually made a profit. He was not responsible for the mess left by his predecessor Zhizhou, but instead benefited from it.
, the state government office should also be repaired, and some money can be allocated to the state college and state school. After all, this is where my political achievements lie!
After returning to Tongzhou, the first thing Wu Zunlu did was to ask Ye An for money...
"Although the Xiang Imperial Army has not received a designation, since we are garrisoned in Tongzhou, even the Imperial Army has to feed me in Tongzhou. Should I be given the cost of feeding and garrisoning in Tongzhou?"
Fan Zhongyan was stunned as he watched from the side, while Ye An, the client, stood there dumbfounded. Oh my god, I never thought that Wu Zunlu was the real "Zhou Bapi"!
Pointing to his nose, and then to the soldiers in the military camp, Ye An said helplessly: "I am the military envoy of Jianghuai. In terms of rank and dispatch, I am above you. I have the right to mobilize the troops and horses of the Jianghuai states, and also provide food and grass."
Although it came from your official warehouse in Tongzhou, I paid for it! You have a share of the food and salary allocated by the imperial court in Tongzhou!"
After saying that, he looked at Fan Zhongyan and said: "This old man can obviously rob directly, but he has to find a reason to do it!"
"Hahaha! Haven't you heard that Zhuo Guojun from Chuzhou has benefited from it? I heard that Zhuo Guojun is a fellow villager of Lao Wu. I can't hide any news from him!"
"Then don't be jealous!"
Ye An helplessly looked at the scene of joy in the military camp, which was like celebrating the New Year: "I didn't take anything from the bandits who encircled Jiudoushan this time. What I deserved was used to subsidize the families of the fallen soldiers. It would be better for him to come back.
He wants to steal the money from my imperial army, can you see if the soldiers in the army can agree?!"
You must be tough when you need to be tough. Now that he has more than a thousand elite soldiers in his hands, as well as Zhao Zhen's appointment and court documents, Wu Zunlu can't take advantage of him anymore.
