Chapter 732 Jia Heng: Hanging the head at the camp gate alerts all the troops
!
Yangzhou Yanyuan Yamen
In the official hall of Yanyuan Yamen, there are five main halls with wide open doors and windows. The slightly dark light in the early morning shines in the halls.
Two rows of black wooden armchairs sit opposite each other. On the left are Qi Kun and Lin Ruhai, and on the right are Yangzhou salt merchants and Yangzhou prefect Yuan Jichong.
Because the salt merchant Wang Shouqi had already gone to Jinling, and Bao Zuhui and Huang Cheng were kidnapped by Cheng Peili and escaped, only Jiang Tong, Huang Rishan, and Xiao Hongsheng were present, sitting together with Qi Kun and Lin Ruhai, looking anxious.
At this moment, in the streets and alleys of Yangzhou, all the cavalry troops of Henan Dusi were galloping back and forth. Compared with the previous cavalry troops of Jinyi Ti cavalry, they were driving across the city with a much more impressive momentum.
If you add that Cheng Peili, a well-known salt merchant in Yangzhou City, lived in a manor that was inspected by officers and soldiers in uniform, the eerie atmosphere of "white terror" almost overwhelmed all the salt merchants.
Liu Shengzao frowned and looked at Qi University, who was wearing a scarlet robe official uniform and a black gauze official hat, and asked: "Mr. Qi Ge, Uncle Yong Ning didn't go to Jinling, why did he return to Yangzhou? He sent a full army of troops.
The arrests on the street have caused people to panic again."
After saying that, he turned to look at Yuan Jichong and said, "Master Yuan, do you know the reason?"
Yangzhou Magistrate Yuan Jichong said: "The Magistrate's Yamen has sent soldiers to assist and appease the people in the city, but we don't know the specific details of the case, and we don't know how to inform the people in the city."
Qi Kun looked indifferent and looked at the two people who were singing together and said: "Didn't Jin Yi, who was informed earlier, have something to say? Yesterday, the fugitive prisoners of the Ma family came to rob the prison. It happened that the soldiers and horses from Henan went to Yangzhou to wipe out all the remnants of the Ma family?"
Liu Shengzao seemed to be pretending to be puzzled and asked: "The Ma family robbed the prison? Why did they mobilize troops from Henan?"
After a series of inquiries in the early morning, Liu Shengzao and the Yangzhou salt merchants already knew that martial law was currently being enforced and that the men responsible for the search and arrest mission were the elite cavalry troops of Henan Dusi.
"I have to ask Uncle Yongning about this. He is now taking over the Jiangbei camp, taking charge of military affairs, and transferring troops from the Central Plains to Jianghuai. I think he has his own considerations." Qi Kun picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said calmly.
Glancing at the frightened Yangzhou salt merchants and even Liu Shengzao, Qi Kun felt cold in his heart. He had known this, so why did he do it in the first place?
If we cooperate well, why should the imperial court send Jin Yi to intervene?
After being stuck in a quagmire in Yangzhou for more than half a year, a fire in the Salt Transportation Department burned all the records and account books, and even slapped the cabinet minister on the face. Today was a chance to vent his anger.
Lin Ruhai stared at Liu Shengzao, whose expression changed, and muttered: "Master Liu, please be patient. The Yanyuan has sent a clerk to invite Uncle Yongning."
As he lowered his eyes, his heart felt a little unsettled, and thoughts appeared on his elegant face.
If Ziyu didn't go to Jinling with Yu'er, why did he quietly return to Yangzhou alone? What should Yu'er do in Jinling?
Jiang Tong suppressed the doubts and fears in his heart for the time being, and asked Huang Rishan: "Why haven't Mr. Bao and Brother Huang come yet? It's almost time."
The salt merchants present also had friends for ten or twenty years, and Bao Zuhui and Huang Cheng were not present, which was somewhat unusual.
As soon as these words came out, Huang Rishan also frowned and said as if he was confused: "I sent someone to inform you before coming here, but for some reason, I haven't come yet. It is said that such a big thing happened in Yangzhou..."
Xiao Hongsheng frowned, and there was a thought in his heart, and he felt that the situation might not be good.
Liu Shengzao sneered, seizing the opportunity, and said sarcastically: "Don't be accused of colluding with the Donglu again. He has already been caught in the prison by Jinyi Mansion and tortured."
Jiang Tong, Huang Rishan, Xiao Hongsheng: "..."
Lin Ruhai's expression was gloomy and he answered, "What do you mean, Mr. Liu? Mr. Liu was also a witness to the previous Donglu assassination. Then the Donglu assassin confessed that the Ma family colluded with Donglu. The evidence was conclusive. What did Mr. Liu say?
Subdued and defeated?"
"The assassination is true, but there is no evidence that the Ma family colluded with the Donglu." Liu Shengzao sneered and said sarcastically.
"The Ma family has already confessed relevant witnesses." Lin Ruhai looked slightly cold and said in a low voice: "If Mr. Liu is not convinced, you can question him face to face when Uncle Yongning comes. How can it be that a gentleman does not say anything in person and makes irresponsible remarks behind his back?
for?"
When Liu Shengzao heard this, he was about to open his mouth to argue a few more words.
Suddenly, at this moment, I heard the scribe outside entering the hall and saying loudly: "Master Lin, Uncle Yongning is here."
When everyone in the official hall heard this, their hearts shivered slightly, and they stood up one after another and went out to greet him. Even Liu Shengzao closed his mouth and followed the others to greet him with a gloomy expression.
Just after bypassing the tall screen wall, I saw from the Yanyuan Yamen gate downstairs, a large number of Jinyi palace guards wearing flying fish uniforms and embroidered spring knives at their waists, lined up from the Yanyuan gate to the Yimen, guarding both sides, with their backs
There is a channel facing the exhaust.
A large number of generals and lieutenants in brocade clothes were surrounding a tall and tall young man in a python robe and a black crown. He strode forward with a sword in one hand. On the left was a handsome Qianhu in brocade robes.
Among the salt merchants, Qi Kun and Lin Ruhai present, Liu Shengzao looked at the young man who was looking forward to Zixiong, walked closer, stood still, and felt timid in his heart.
Jia Heng glanced at the frightened salt merchants, his eyes fell on the faces of Qi Kun and Lin Ruhai, and said in a deep voice: "Masters Qi Lin, just last night, Ma Xianjun's son Ma Zesheng led the pirates to sneak into Yangzhou City.
He wanted to kidnap his father Ma Xianjun and escape, so we sent troops to arrest him. The person who escorted Ma Xianjun's son into Yangzhou City was Cheng Peili, the in-law of the Ma family, the head of the Cheng family.
He is a general merchant in the salt industry, and the government and army are setting up a dragnet to hunt down the real culprit."
When several salt merchants heard this, they looked at each other.
At this time, the four major merchants, Ma, Cheng, Bao, and Huang, were all involved. Could it be that half of the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou were involved?
After all, Liu Shengzao was a third-rank official. His eyes flashed coldly and he asked the three salt merchants the question they wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask: "The Cheng family, the Bao family, and the Huang family actually colluded?"
"Liu Yunshi, I didn't say that." Jia Heng suddenly stared at Liu Shengzao, his tiger-like gaze almost startled the latter, and said: "According to Ma Zesheng's confession, the Cheng family supported Ma Zesheng.
He is an accomplice by helping to rob the prison! The evidence for this matter is conclusive and has been corroborated by the confessions of relevant criminals. As for Bao and Huang, why are they in the Cheng family? I'm afraid we have to question them."
Qi Kun glanced at Liu Shengzao and asked: "Master Jia, Master Liu asked just now that the pursuit of relevant criminals can only be carried out by the soldiers and horses of the Jiangbei camp. Why did the soldiers and horses of the Henan Dusi come to Yangzhou?"
Jia Heng looked at Liu Shengzao, looked at it carefully, and said, "Did Ambassador Liu Yun ask?"
Liu Shengzao looked unnatural and asked: "There are soldiers and horses in the Jiangbei camp. I don't know why Mr. Jia mobilized soldiers and horses from Henan. He spent so much effort and looked far away from the near. I have doubts in my subordinates' minds."
Jia Heng's face turned cold and he scolded: "This is the military chief, and the cabinet can still ask questions. How dare you, a little salt transport envoy, only a third-rank person, dare to make random inquiries?"
When Liu Shengzao heard this, his face suddenly changed, and a sense of humiliation gradually surged in his heart. Under his intense gaze, he cupped his hands and said, "I'm an official... I'm presumptuous."
When Yangzhou Magistrate Yuan Jichong and several salt merchants saw this scene, they looked at each other with unspeakable fear.
In other words, Jia Heng's previous kind words almost made these salt merchants and Liu Shengzao forget that this was not only a military commander, but also an important minister who went in and out of temples to assist the king.
What level? Do you dare to ask me about military aircraft?
Liu Shengzao was reprimanded as a subordinate, which was a disgrace to him.
Chen Xiao glanced at the sharp-tongued young man. Well, this man was well versed in the way a fox pretends to be a tiger. It was hard to associate him with the young man who was holding Princess Chu up and down.
Chen Xiao's eyes narrowed a bit, and he felt a wave of anger coming over him.
But she remembered some unworthy things from the past. Every time she thought about it these days, she had to rinse her mouth many times.
Jia Heng turned to look at Qi Kun and explained to Qi Kun: "Since I was stationed in Yangzhou, the bandits have sneaked into Yangzhou City one after another, causing trouble and disturbing the people. However, the relevant generals and soldiers of the Jiangbei camp were unable to check early and take precautions in advance.
, causing panic among the people in Yangzhou City. Therefore, I have long had the intention of rectifying the camp affairs. Now I am dispatching cavalry troops from the Henan Dusi to reorganize the armaments in the north of the Yangtze River and build river defenses. By chance, I encountered the Ma family who was bold enough to attempt to hijack the river.
Hell!"
This is an explanation to Qi Kun, and it also eases the salt merchants' doubts. Don't panic, this is a technical adjustment.
As soon as this statement came out, the salt merchants present fell into deathly silence.
Liu Shengzao's heart suddenly trembled, and he faintly sensed some evil intentions.
Is it really for this reason that Henan soldiers and horses are mobilized, and there is no other intention?
"As for the prison robbery and collusion with the Eastern captives, the soldiers will hunt down the prisoners from the Cheng family and interrogate them carefully, and they will be able to get to the bottom of the truth." Jia Heng said in a deep voice, looking at the three salt merchants Jiang, Huang, and Xiao, and the three generals
Zhang Wanwan's face turned into his eyes and he said: "Speaking of which, it was not this time that Ma Xianjun and his son intercepted and killed my Jinyi detective. Last year, Beijing sent detectives to Jiangnan to investigate important matters. When passing through Yangzhou, Ma Xianjun and his son intercepted and killed me.
, How can I tolerate these crazy and rebellious people?"
"That's what Uncle Yongning said." Jiang Tong, Huang Rishan, and Xiao Hongsheng said quickly, with a thick layer of haze already covering their hearts.
Lin Ruhai smoothed things over and said, "This is not the place to talk. We should go into the official hall to talk."
Jia Heng nodded, stretched out his hand to invite you and said, "Mr. Qi Ge, Mr. Lin, please."
One sentence seemed to wake up all the merchants and officials present. They stared at the young man in python suit who entered the official hall with Qi Kun and Lin Ruhai under the guards of Jinyi Mansion. They felt frightened and frightened unconsciously, and they no longer knew what to say.
That's good.
Jia Heng came to the official hall and sat down with Qi Kun and Lin Ruhai.
Qi Kun pondered for a moment and asked, "Why did the Ma family collude with the Cheng family last night?"
Jia Heng said: "Ma Xianjun sneaked into the city through the waterway and hid in the manor where the Cheng family is located. He thought that the official was not in Yangzhou, and took the opportunity to kidnap Ma Xianjun. It can be described as a whim and a wishful thinking!"
Qi Kun pondered for a moment and asked a question that everyone was concerned about: "Now that the Yangzhou cavalry is out in all directions, people are uneasy. I wonder when it will return to normal?"
"Don't worry, Master Qi. Once Cheng Peili is captured, the troops can be withdrawn and it will not affect the daily life of the people of Yangzhou." Jia Heng said, looking at Yuan Jichong, the prefect of Yangzhou, and said: "Master Yuan, there have been soldiers in Yangzhou City recently.
Horses are constantly being mobilized, and the Yangzhou government must take the lead and not cause any trouble."
Yuan Jichong did not dare to neglect, and quickly stood up and raised his hands and said: "Don't worry, Uncle Yongning, I have sent three squads of government officials to receive the army's search and arrests, and ensure that there will be no trouble on the ground in Yangzhou."
Jia Heng turned to Qi Kun and said: "This case shows that the defense of Jiangbei is empty, but the two general salt merchants, Ru Ma and Cheng, actually smuggled with the Donglu, secretly stored armored soldiers, hijacked the prison, and the Jiangbei camp.
In urgent need of rectification.”
Qi Kun nodded and said: "The soldiers in the north of the Yangtze River have been in peace for a long time, and in a prosperous place like Yangzhou, they have been affected by the unruly atmosphere and the military discipline has been loose for a long time."
Jia Heng turned to look at several salt merchants and said: "Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely visit the Jiangbei camp during my stay in Yangzhou, and I will live up to the righteous act of donating military pay."
When Jiang Tong, Huang Rishan, and Xiao Hongsheng heard this, they could only laugh and say yes, thinking to themselves, you have already arrested the two families who donated their military salary to you.
Qi Kun asked in surprise: "I don't know what's going on with donating military salary?"
Jia Heng did not hide anything, or he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to raise the matter, saying: "Master Wang heard that his army was in charge of Jiangbei and that the Jiangbei camp was short of soldiers and pay, so he generously donated 30 yuan to several salt merchants.
Ten thousand taels will be used as military supplies."
Hearing this, Qi Kun felt strange in his heart. The money was collected so quickly that he wiped out two salt merchants with his backhand.
While the Yanyuan Yamen was talking, they saw a Jinyi primary school student coming in from the outside, entering the official hall, clasping his fists and reporting: "Captain, Cheng Peili and others have caught him."
As soon as these words came out, it was as if a huge stone had been smashed into the official hall, causing thousands of waves.
Jiang Tong's eyes narrowed and he thought secretly, Lao Cheng, have you caught him now?
Jia Heng asked: "Where are Bao Zuhui and Huang Cheng?"
"The general has been rescued and is now at the Baihu Office of Jinyi Mansion." Captain Jinyi replied.
Jia Heng looked at the people with different expressions and said: "You continue to discuss the salt affairs. I have something to do, so I won't accompany you."
He is here to put on a show to exert psychological pressure on these salt merchants. I believe that it won't be long before someone comes to invest and take the opportunity to uncover the inside story of the shipping warehouse deficit case.
Qi Kun and Lin Ruhai stood up and escorted Jia Heng away. They came in a hurry and left in a hurry. However, in the Yangzhou Yanyuan Yamen, all the salt merchants and Liu Shengzao himself were awe-inspiring.
On his side, Jia Heng, accompanied by a group of retinues on horseback, left the Yangzhou Yanyuan Yamen, got on his horse, and headed towards Yangzhou Baihu Street.
Yangzhou Hundred Household Office
Jia Heng returned to the official hall. Liu Jixian and Qu Guang were already waiting in the official hall. When they saw Jia Heng coming, they stood up to greet him.
"Captain, Cheng Peili and his son were captured at the canal and river mouth. Bao Zuhui and Huang Cheng were also rescued and are now being questioned in the experience room," Liu Jixian said.
Cheng Peili had no idea that the people captured this time were the officers and soldiers of Henan Dusi. Under the leadership of Jinyi Tiqi, they pursued them along the waterway in a boat.
Jia Heng said: "Detain them and torture them severely. Ask the generals who facilitated them. Dig deeper and arrest those who should be arrested immediately."
Liu Jixian responded.
Shang Ming, who was responsible for the punishment of hundreds of households, came forward, raised his hands and said: "Captain, last night Hu Gui from the Jiangbei camp confessed and took one hundred thousand taels of silver from the Cheng family. Huang Xian and others took one hundred and fifty thousand taels.
A guerrilla general received 50,000 taels in exchange for the convenience of the generals from the Jiangbei camp."
Because this is not only money to buy a road trip, but also money to buy a life. The Cheng family and the Ma family can say that they have spent a lot of money.
Jia Heng said: "Collect the relevant confessions and escort a few people to the Jiangbei camp later. I want to march on the military law!"
With that said, he looked at Qu Guang, who was waiting quietly, and said in a deep voice: "General Qu, send someone to recover the captured soldiers, and follow me to the Jiangbei camp later."
Now that all the Cheng family members have been arrested, the soldiers and horses can be transferred back. They can go to the Jiangbei camp to reorganize the soldiers and horses, and deal with the results of the previous platoons. This time they have been accumulated and dealt with together.
Qu Guang handed over his hand.
Jiangbei Camp, near noon, Jiangbei Camp has taken over the internal and external defenses for a large number of Henan Dusi's cavalry troops, and has garrisoned some empty barracks.
This is a camp that can accommodate 30,000 people, but because the number of troops is less than nearly 10,000, there is just enough space for Henan troops to station, and there is no need to even set up camp.
At this moment, under Jia Heng's military order, in addition to Shui Yu, a large number of generals including the commanders of the Four Guards, the commanders, the generals, and the guerrilla generals gathered in the Chinese army barracks.
However, these generals who used to spend a lot of money on brothels and boats in Yangzhou and cheered in front of them were now as wilted as eggplants beaten by frost.
As time passed, the "lost contact" of Jiedu judge Huang Xian, marching commander Zhou Bi and others, as well as the large number of Henan Dusi cavalry troops stationed in the Jiangbei camp, made these fat-bellied generals aware that a storm was coming.
the taste of.
In the Chinese army barracks consisting of five tile-roofed houses and two balconies, Zuowei commander Wu Ming looked at his colleagues and asked: "Brothers, there are soldiers and horses from Henan Dusi outside. Who is this Uncle Yongning?"
What to do?”
"Old Wu, what's the point of asking? By dispatching troops from Henan, you've made it clear that you don't trust us." Shi Wenzhong, the commander of the right guard, sneered, his eyes showing solemnity.
The expressions of the other dozen or so generals also looked solemn, and their minds were mostly filled with a shadow. They couldn't help but think of the day before yesterday when they checked the vacancies in the army and checked the military registers.
I originally thought that Uncle Yongning went to Jinling to ask for military pay, ordnance, and prepare to recruit new soldiers. The old accounts were not included. Looking at the posture, it seems that there are still repetitions?
At this moment, the sergeant outside called out: "The commander is here!"
The generals who were discussing secretly felt their hearts trembling, and they all looked outside the barracks.
I saw a group of brocade clothes coming from the camp roads planted with sycamore trees and paved with green stones. In addition, there were also officers and soldiers from the capital in armor. They came in large groups. What made the generals feel a little more at ease was that Shui Yu was also there.
Beside Jia Heng.
Jia Heng entered the Chinese army barracks with shouts from the front and the crowd behind him. He sat in the middle on the Grand Master's chair behind the commander's case. On his right was Chen Xiao, who was wearing a flying fish suit.
The captain in Jinyi with a embroidered spring knife was on alert.
"The general has met the commander-in-chief." A sparse voice sounded in the Chinese barracks.
Jia Heng's face was indifferent and his voice was calm, making it difficult to detect emotion or anger: "Generals, please get up."
As the voice of thanks rang out, all the generals stood up one after another and stood silently. The huge barracks was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.
Jia Heng said: "I think all the generals heard the fighting last night. The Ma family led the pirates into Yangzhou and attacked Baihusuo at night with the intention of hijacking the prison. Jinyi Baihusuo was alone and lacked manpower.
However, the fighting lasted until midnight, and there was not a single soldier or general in the Jiangbei camp to reinforce them. Why?"
In the barracks, no one dared to respond. Everyone knew it was bad luck, and no one dared to come and touch it.
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "I asked Jiedu Judge Huang Xian, Marching Sima Zhou Bi and other generals about this matter last night. All I heard was excuses. It was not until I tortured the Ma family's prisoners who died in prison that I found out that they were the recipients."
The money from the Ma family and the Cheng family!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a strong wind was set off in the entire Chinese army barracks, making all the generals present feel uneasy, and a storm seemed to be brewing.
Jia Heng picked up the book containing the confessions of Huang Xian and others, flipped through it, and said: "Huang Xian received 150,000 taels. I have not received so much salary in fifteen years. How dare they give this money?"
take!"
When the generals below heard this, their hearts became even more awe-inspiring.
Jia Heng said: "They are incompetent in running the army, they are greedy, their military discipline is lax, and their troops are not full. I think of the prosperity of Yangzhou and the peace of the soldiers and horses in Jiangbei for too long, so I can forget about it, but they don't restrain themselves."
, refused to stop, committed the crime against the odds, actually bribed people with property, colluded with the rebellious people, and facilitated the thieves to hijack the prison and escape to other places, this is unbearable!"
“Bang!!!”
He hit the handsome case with his clenched fist, and the tokens in the lottery tube jumped one after another, which also shocked the generals in the Chinese army barracks.
At this time, Shui Yu stood up, looked at the frightened Jiangbei generals, and said expressionlessly: "Generals, Huang Xian and others accepted bribes from salt merchants, colluded with thieves, and hijacked Baihu Prison.
, This is a crime that cannot be punished, I hope the generals will do their best."
Just when the general below was feeling uneasy, Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Come here, bring Huang Xian, Zhou Bi and others!"
"Yes." Colonel Jinyi responded loudly.
As General Jinyi promised loudly, not long after, Huang Xian, Zhou Bi, Yan Ruiwen, Hu Gui, who had been tied up early, and Zhao Guoqi, who was in charge of the water transport gate, were escorted into the barracks, all covered with blood.
There was a piece of cloth stuffed in the mouth.
"Kneel down!" As several generals kicked their legs, the five Chinese military officers and generals sat on the ground one after another, while Shui Yu had already closed his eyes and turned a deaf ear.
Jia Heng's eyes were cold and he said in a deep voice: "As generals of the Jiangbei camp, you colluded with the bandits and facilitated their hijacking of the prison. This is a violation of national law and military discipline. Someone is here to push out these five animals and behead them all for justice."
military law!"
When the five people kneeling on the ground heard this, their bodies shook violently. They seemed to be in panic. They kept whimpering and struggling fiercely. They didn't know whether they were begging for mercy or shouting injustice. However, not long after, Jinyi Palace Guards picked up their arms and moved towards them.
Drag it outside.
Not long after, Li Shu, a member of the Hundred Household in Jinyi who had returned from execution, strode into the mansion. Behind him, the general held five bloody heads. The smell of blood spread in the barracks.
When the generals in the Chinese army barracks saw this, their faces turned pale, and their hands and feet felt cold. They didn't want all of their former colleagues to become victims of the sword.
Even Shui Yu's face didn't look good. Thinking of the duck blood soup he drank at noon, he felt sour water rushing towards his throat. He glanced at the young man with a stern face, almost as cold as ice, and felt a surge of courage in his heart.
If he doesn't understand current affairs, I'm afraid this person will kill him with the emperor's sword!
Yes, when Jia Heng was fighting floods in Huai'an Prefecture and came to Yangzhou, he used the power of the Emperor's Sword given by Emperor Chongping to suppress Shuiyu.
Jia Heng's face was expressionless and he shouted: "Hang your head at the camp gate to make all the troops take a warning!"
"Yes, Commander." Captain Jinyi responded and left.
For a moment, the barracks was filled with a chilling atmosphere and a deathly silence. The generals all hung their heads tightly, feeling the smell of blood wafting through their noses. Although it was summer, they already felt cold all over their bodies.
Jia Heng glanced at the dozen generals in the barracks and said coldly: "I have been ordered by the Holy Spirit to supervise the army in Jiangbei and organize the camp affairs. The number of 30,000 troops is less than 10,000. The generals are dead and the military discipline is lax. It is because the generals are not in charge of the army."
Fang, caused by dereliction of duty and indulgence.”
He took another book and handed it to Liu Jixian who was standing aside, asking him to read it aloud.
When the general below heard his name, his heart tightened again. Wouldn't he want to kill him again?
Jia Heng said: "The military discipline of the Jiangbei camp is lax and the number of troops is uneven. How much military pay you have deducted over the years has been reported to the Jinyi Mansion. I can make up for it by making up 70% and wait for punishment. That's it."
If you refuse to explain, I will have no mercy until the results of the investigation are revealed!"
Except for a few two or three generals who are still usable, all the generals in front of them will be re-examined before being retained. As for the soldiers in the Jiangbei camp, they will all be disrupted and reorganized later, the old and the weak will be eliminated, and soldiers will be recruited and trained.
Only in this way can this army reorganization be effective. From observations during this period, the soldiers in Jiangbei are weaker than the soldiers in the Beijing camp. It can be said that they are just a bunch of rabble.
What's ridiculous is that Mopan actually wanted to use these soldiers and horses to help the King of Chu accumulate strength in order to stage a rebellion in the future?
Just serve him well, why bother? It's a small millstone, it's ridiculous.
As for the worries of unrest caused by such drastic changes, Henan Dusi's 5,000 elite cavalry troops were enough to suppress and control it. In addition, Henan Dusi's troops quickly moved to Yangzhou. He wanted to control Jiangnan from the north of the Yangtze River.
As soon as Jia Heng said this, the expressions of the generals present changed drastically, and they were all in an uproar. Sure enough, they had not spoken out before, and were waiting for them here!
Some generals were frightened and angry, but they did not dare to act rashly. Not to mention the presence of the royal guards and Henan Dusi cavalry inside and outside, even the intimidation of the four heads just now made people fearful.
There is a family and a family in Yangzhou, but if things go wrong, the family will be ruined.
Jia Heng looked at the frightened generals below, noted down some figures with unsatisfied expressions, and said, "Commander Shui Jie, please say a few words."
He was not afraid of mutiny among these drunken men and women. With the cavalry on guard, even if these people left the Chinese barracks, they would not be able to incite a single soldier.
At this time, Shui Yu stood up, looked at the generals whose expressions suddenly changed, and said: "Generals, please listen to what I have to say."
Shui Yu sighed and said sadly: "Jiangbei Camp has been in such bad shape these years that even I can't stand it. Now Uncle Yong Ning has come down from the capital to reorganize his military equipment. This is the general trend of the imperial army's military reorganization."
, no one can disobey him, Yong Ningbo is a general who led an army of 100,000 to wipe out the rebels in the Central Plains, so it is most appropriate for him to reorganize the camp."
Seeing the gentle expressions of the generals, Shui Yu thought for a while and said: "When Yong Ningbo organized the capital camp, he also didn't kill anyone without permission. He took part of the encroached soldiers' salary to make up for it. Afterwards, it would be fine to make meritorious service or to support him."
No matter how old he is, he will never settle old scores, and there are even some cases where he made no mistakes but kept the school for minor mistakes. Later, they all made meritorious service and were re-appointed. There is no need for the generals to be nervous. Many of them have families and families in Yangzhou.
There are no human beings like Huang Xian and others, so there is no need to panic."
These words were actually taught by Jia Heng to Shui Yu before his departure. They were mainly used to relieve tension. From him, it was not easy to win people's trust, but from Shui Yu, they naturally had a soothing effect.
As Shui Yu mentioned old events in the Beijing camp, the tense nerves of some of the generals present gradually relaxed.
Seeing the generals lowering their heads, Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Liu Jixian, please ask some generals to come down."
At this time, Jinyifu Military Academy came over and took a few people down.
For a time, there were three or four other people in the barracks, all of whom were survivors of the disaster.
Jia Heng said: "General Qu, take these people to take over the Jiangbei camp, eliminate the old and weak, and reorganize and train the soldiers. The people in Huaibei will suffer a lot from the floods this summer. We can recruit young and strong people from Xu Si and other places. I will
Three hundred thousand taels of silver have been prepared to cover the placement expenses of recruiting and training soldiers."
In fact, after the stolen silver money from the salt dealer was copied later, the military salary was really not lacking, but... this had to be done after the case of the Salt Transportation Department's deficit was completely exposed, otherwise, it would give a bad impression to outsiders.
That’s it, any collusion with Donglu is your excuse, you just want to kill pigs to celebrate the New Year!
Qu Guang looked at the boy in the python suit with awe, clasped his fists and said yes.
After the generals dispersed, Jia Heng looked at Shui Yu, his face gradually turned cold, and said: "I will report to the court about the army reorganization. General Shui knows the general situation, and I don't think the Lord will be harsh on the past."
Shui Yu cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare. When I go back, I will collect the military pay that has been withheld over the years and use it as military supplies for the whole army."
He has also deducted a lot of salary and silver over the years, and the miscellaneous sums are also a big sum. It is better to go back and collect the money. Anyway, those who accept bribes from salt merchants are not so talkative.
Jia Heng looked at the discerning Shui Yu, nodded, and said: "General Shui, if you can get it together, it will be good. If General Shui has any difficulties, you can come to me at any time. I and Prince Beijing are ministers of the same palace, the same Taoist...
If you are committed to military affairs, you will not be in trouble for General Shui."
He still demanded 70% of the Jiangbei Camp soldiers to be reimbursed and would no longer pursue them. This was also to eliminate the potential for subsequent trouble in the Jiangnan Camp.
Otherwise, there may be a war.
Shui Yu nodded and left the Zhongjun barracks, feeling confused and confused.
In fact, the five bloody heads just now not only silenced the low-ranking generals in the Jiangbei camp, but also shook Shui Yu's mind.
For a moment, only Jia Heng and Chen Xiao were left in the Chinese army barracks that had been crowded just now.
Under Chen Xiao's beautiful eyebrows, her clear eyes twinkled and she said, "Is the Jiangbei Camp ready now?"
This man is truly a natural-born general. Whether he is running politics or running the army, he shows the style of a king, but... he is a bit lustful.
Jia Heng looked at the girl who was dressed in a flying fish suit with an indescribably beautiful face. She was wearing a flying fish suit with white lining and fish patterns. Although she did not apply any powder, her natural beauty was reflected in her eyebrows.
"This is just the beginning. We will continue to recruit and train soldiers, remove generals, and train naval forces again." Jia Heng said slowly.
Guo Rong killed Fan Aineng and He Hui, more than 70 generals, and reorganized the Forbidden Army. This was only the first step. Zhao Da should never be used, leaving the hidden danger of bullying orphans and widowed mothers.
"Two of the eight salt merchants were there, and those salt merchants couldn't sit still even more." Chen Xiao felt uncomfortable at the looking eyes, turned his eyes, pursed his lips, and whispered.
Jia Heng came out of the army wing, looked at the sky that had turned dark and rainy at some point, and whispered: "The Bao family and the Huang family are also about to be destroyed, but we can take a breather."
"Okay, let's not talk about it for now. We haven't slept all night. Let's find a room to rest." Jia Heng turned to look at Chen Xiao, who followed quietly from the side, and whispered: "Your eyes are bloodshot."
Chen Xiao softly said "hmm" and didn't say much.
Just when Jia Heng took a boat at night and headed to Yangzhou, as time slowly passed, Jia Heng's ruthless actions in defeating the Ma family in Yangzhou and in the Jiangbei camp gradually spread to Jinling City and to the south of the Yangtze River.
