As soon as a word came out, he noticed that a sharp light flashed in Li Chengzhi's eyes. Yuan Chen gave a fierce meal and swallowed the word "Chengzhi" abruptly.
"Li Brigade Commander, if you say you owe noon, you will say noon. What does it have to do with pretending or not?"
"How could it not matter?"
Li Chengzhi smiled sinisterly, "You only said that you moved from Jizhenwei. Do you have a transfer order document or a military registration order?"
Where are the documents and orders?
The original brigade general gave an order and moved them to the Recruitment Guard Camp. The battalion general Yuan Wei gave an order and sent them back home... Not to mention the paperwork and letters, there were even pieces of paper with half a word written on them.
There are no movies...
"Commander of the brigade, although there is no transfer order or letter, but when we were transferred, Sun Sima, the recruiter and guard chief, compiled the register, and we will know after a check..."
Register?
Li Chengzhi rolled up his sleeves calmly: "I forgot to inform you all: Yesterday, the Wei Yamen accidentally caught fire, and the original register, the Zhongyamen, the palace records, etc. were all burned to ashes. Therefore, I am here.
, there is no scrap of paper related to your annotations..."
After talking for a while, he said coldly, "I can't just believe what you guys say. I have to bring a decent certificate, right?
Therefore, when you get the vouchers, I will make a list for you... It just so happens that all of you are owed wages by the original camp and brigade. By the way, I can also ask for a receipt, and I can use it to ask for it for you. So,
Everyone, please leave today..."
More than 500 soldiers and generals, all staring with big eyes and small eyes, were at a loss.
At this point, no one knows that Li Chengzhi is deliberately trying to embarrass them...
Someone couldn't help but ask: "May I ask the brigade commander, what kind of credentials can be called 'decent'?"
"Since we have moved here to recruit guards, there should be an order for the appointment of generals. Of course, it would be better if it is from Zhonglang. If you have the ability to let His Majesty issue an order, that would be the best..."<
/p>
Li Chengzhi smiled and said, "Every injustice has its owner, and the same applies to debts. Whichever guard owes the debt, the debt must be obtained from that guard. It must be signed by the guard general.
Don't say that I'm putting you in a difficult position. When you have these two things ready, why come back to me to prepare the registration? It will also save you time for traveling in the mountains, playing in the water, hunting, or even recovering from illness.
Don't think that I am deaf or blind. Yuan Jian just made it very clear: When we move from each of our guards, we all have one to three months' salary arrears, without any exception...
Therefore, it is best not to lie and say that there is no unpaid wages. If you let me verify the truth, even if I cannot beat you, you will definitely be unable to work for three to five months..."
Even if you don’t let him make the decision and ask for pay?
There are also "traveling in the mountains, playing in the water, hunting, getting sick, recuperating" and so on. It is clearly an excuse for Li Chengzhi to come to invite them in person the day before yesterday, but they closed the door and gave orders to the concierge and servants to send the guests away.
Li Chengzhi is such a small-minded person that he must avenge himself, and he does it in the blink of an eye?
Do you regret listening to the words of Changsun Gong and Yuan Wei? Why did you offend such a villain?
The young man who was forced by everyone to ask Li Chengzhi first rolled his eyes and moved closer to Li Chengzhi.
"Commander of the Brigade, please take a step to speak!"
Can you borrow a bird feather?
Li Chengzhi glared at him and scolded him coldly: "If you want to speak, just speak!"
The young man blinked his eyes: "Xiaguan is the son of the former King of Qi County, and the fifth brother of the current King of Qi County, Yuan Kun..."
Are you treating me like this?
Li Chengzhi couldn't help sneering.
Regardless of Yuan Chen, his father is still a prince, and he is still the cousin of the current emperor, so what?
Seeing that he seemed unresponsive, Yuan Kun blinked his eyelids and lowered his voice: "A certain fourth brother is the King of Hejian..."
Hejian Wang Yuanchen, Gao Zhao’s son-in-law?
Li Chengzhi thought for a moment and showed a strange expression on his face.
Talking about the relationship between relatives, but it’s your own fault?
Yuan Chen is the heir. Although he was adopted by King Tuoba Ruo of Hejian when he was young, the family has always had contact with him.
His eldest brother is Li Chengzhi’s current direct superior: Huben recruiter Wei Jiang Yuanyan.
My elder brother Yuanyou is now Weiwei Shaoqing and Yu Zhong’s assistant officer.
The third brother died young, Yuan Chen is the fourth brother, and the fifth brother is Yuan Kun...
After being stunned for a moment, Li Chengzhi winked calmly and said in a feint of anger: "So what if the King of Hejian is here, even if my own father comes..."
Yuan Kun is overjoyed.
Although I don’t know what that look means, I guess it’s not a big deal and Li Chengzhi will definitely not embarrass him...
He immediately understood and retreated pretending to be frustrated...
Seeing that everyone was standing still with no intention of moving away, Li Chengzhi sneered and said: "Why, why can't I personally see you off? It doesn't matter, since you are willing to feed mosquitoes and flies, then just stand.
, I will take the first step...Li Da, collect the bill!"
After giving orders, Li Chengzhi did not ride a horse, but walked out calmly with his hands behind his back.
Li Liang shouted several times, and more than a dozen servants quickly packed up desks, tables, chairs, pens and ink and other items.
More than five hundred soldiers all looked confused...
……
Yuan Shen finally knew why Li Chengzhi destroyed the register.
Without registration, there is no status. This is no longer a question of whether the more than 500 soldiers will obey the orders and return to the camp, but a question of Li Chengzhi's unwillingness to have them.
As a brigade general, I personally went to the door to invite him, but he was rejected one after another?
Coupled with the notices posted all over the city and outside the city, it means that Li Chengzhi has done enough etiquette in advance. He is just waiting to punish this group of dandies.
If His Majesty had not given up, the current Wei Sima and battalion officers would still be Zhang Sun Gong and Yuan Wei, and Li Chengzhi would be able to torture these two to death.
With just a certificate of registration, these two people had to visit nearly thirty yamen, large and small, in Huben and Sanwei.
This is only if all the guards, battalions, brigades and other generals are willing to provide evidence for them.
Let’s not even mention whether Li Chengzhi can be forced to accept it: His Majesty’s statement that “military aircraft have the power to make decisive decisions” was a joke, or was Chang Sun Gong’s statement that “Although I am a superior officer, it is not appropriate to pay too much attention to the military affairs of the Beijia Brigade”?
Fart?
Is this what Li Chengzhi often talks about: "If you dare to be in the first grade of junior high school, don't blame me for being in the fifteenth grade"?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Including the arrears of wages.
Aren’t you just waiting to make a joke out of me, Li Chengzhi? I’ll let you take a good look and see which one will become the joke in the end.
Either you have to be honest and write off the debt from where you owe it, or you can just bring the receipt of payment.
Now that you have the credentials, do you think Li Chengzhi doesn’t dare to ask for them?
This is a master who can create three-foot waves even in the absence of wind. Who would dare to give him control if he is not stupid enough?
Therefore, the mention of salary arrears will most likely become a joke...
Fortunately, the book was burned early. If he had waited for the three-day period and all the more than 500 generals had missed the deadline and disobeyed orders, Li Chengzhi would have used these tricks again, not to mention Yuanyuan, even the emperor.
They all have to be solved by playing rogue.
Just because all the truth is on Li Chengzhi's side...
Yuan Yuan was speechless and didn't speak. He just stared at Li Chengzhi with a strange expression on his face.
Li Chengzhi felt very uncomfortable being stared at. After enduring it for a while, he handed over his hand and asked, "Did the lieutenant give any instructions to the subordinate?"
Yuan Yuan let out a long sigh: "These children are all sixteen or seventeen, eighteen or nineteen years old. They were ordered by others because of their ignorance. Why do you need to get angry with them?
Don't embarrass them. It's time to naturalize and form an army. I'll clear the salary you owe..."
Li Chengzhi is not only depressed, but even more puzzled.
It is said that Yuan Yuan deliberately protected Changsun Gong and Yuan Wei and helped them to embarrass him, but he and he have always been kind and gentle.
You're not being biased, right? He caused such a big twist and turns, and he just said a few words to get rid of it?
If I don’t force Changsun Gong and Yuan Wei to stop, they will cause trouble next time. How should I deal with it?
Xu Shi guessed what he was thinking, and Yuan Yan, who was sitting on Yuan Yuan's side, said with a smile: "Don't hesitate, and don't be afraid that Changsun and Yuan Wei will be entangled. His Majesty has issued a decree: Let you succeed on your own."
The first brigade does not belong to the three guards of Tiger and Ben, but is directly under the charge of Zhonglang. From now on, you can just handle all matters big and small with Zhonglang, and even I have no right to interfere..."
Haha?
Li Chengzhi is a little confused?
Is the emperor schizophrenic?
If I had known it was so simple, when I asked you to transfer Yuan Yue, what would you have done if you had just said that?
Yuan Yan is Yuan Chen's eldest brother, so he is very close to Gao Zhao. For the time being, he must be towards him.
Li Chengzhi respectfully replied, "Thank you, Marshal Wei, for clearing up the confusion." He then looked at Yuan Yuan, "Since the Commander-in-Chief has given orders, subordinates should only obey them. But there are a few things that I would like to ask the Commander-in-Chief's permission for..." Yuan Yuan nodded: "Speak!"
"These five hundred soldiers are all descendants of nobles. It is inevitable that some of them will be arrogant and domineering. Therefore, if someone behaves arrogantly and willfully, the lower officials will definitely know how to march..."
When it comes to being arrogant, domineering, arrogant and willful, who can compare to you, Li Chengzhi?
Yuan Yuan looked at him sideways and waved his sleeves: "That's right!"
Li Chengzhi clasped his fists again: "Now that the superiors and subordinates have not been divided, and the subordinates have not been determined, the subordinates thought: Can we temporarily ignore the previous military positions, family background, whether they have inherited titles, and whether they are high or low, and wait for some training?
In the future, we will determine who should be a scholar and who should be a pawn based on their talents..."
So this is what Li Chengzhi is in trouble for?
Yuan Yuan and Yuan Yan couldn't help but look at each other.
How could it be possible to ignore family status and the level of the title? Otherwise, why would Your Majesty single out the children of so many clans and nobles to form an army?
Just like Li Chengzhi, he will be reused in the future...
But for the time being, if Li Chengzhi is not given some power, it will definitely be detrimental to his leadership. After all, his background is not high.
As for the future, it’s not too late to renegotiate...
"That's right!"
Yuan Yuan finally asked again, "What else?"
"And..."
Li Chengzhi paused for a moment, as if he didn't feel comfortable speaking. He pondered for a few breaths before saying, "When the officials are training, there may be too many servants brought into the camp?"
A lot?
Yuan Yan asked casually: "How much?"
Li Chengzhi raised two fingers: "More than two hundred?"
Yuan Yuan just raised his wine cup and took a sip. When he heard this sentence, he almost smacked Li Chengzhi in the face.
You, the Manchu Communist Party, only have 500 soldiers, but you want more than 200 servants. What do you want to do?
"I remember that the total number of people in your mansion is only about fifty retainers. Where did the extra ones come from?"
Where did it come from?
Li Chengzhi blinked his eyes: "I thought that none of my soldiers would return to camp before, so I borrowed some soldiers from Gao Sikong. Now I think: since I have borrowed them, I will simply keep some of them for use...
”
Is it still Gao Zhao’s people who want to keep some of them for future use?
Yuan Yuan put the wine cup under the case, and looked at Li Chengzhi with a complicated expression: "Stop covering up, tell me, what do you want?"
Li Chengzhi sighed sadly and said solemnly: "I have no other intention, just because at the beginning of the next spring at most, the army will march south. I thought: Five hundred is also training, seven hundred, eight hundred is also training, there is no such thing as
What a difference. So I thought I would give it a try and practice some suitable scouts and detectives, so that I could be considered as His Majesty and relieve the worries of the court..."
You are not relieving His Majesty and the imperial court's worries. You are clearly relieving Gao Zhao's worries, right?
No wonder he wanted to borrow someone from Gao Zhao?
Expelling all the five hundred disciples by default and disobeying orders is only second, but training troops for Gao Zhao is the key.
Moreover, it is inconsistent with etiquette, and it is even more inconsistent with the system: How can anyone serve as an official in front of a tiger but train troops for the Ministry of War?
However, since Li Chengzhi was able to tell the truth frankly and did not pretend to be deaf and do his own thing, he knew that he had no very selfish intentions.
If he really wants to practice privately, he can bring dozens of servants today and dozens more tomorrow, and he can have another round every three to five days, and no one can blame him...
"Let me think about it and put this matter on hold for now!"
Yuan Yuan said solemnly, "But there is still more!"
Li Chengzhi thought for a while and shook his head: "Only these three!"
It’s gone...how is that possible?
Yuan Yuan stared at him suspiciously, and Yuan Yan was even more rude and asked directly: "Where are the grain and grass, where are the chariots and horses, and where are the weapons and armor? Why don't I see you asking for them? Could it be that you are planning to let the soldiers have empty hands?
Training on an empty stomach?"
How can you be empty-handed and hungry?
Li Chengzhi was a little sarcastic, hesitated for a moment, and simply told the truth: "This is what I thought before I went to the official: there is no food and grass in the Wei Yamen, and the weapons and armor are transferred to the official, so the official will not force him.
But the military affairs cannot be delayed, so I thought: when recruiting soldiers for local and state garrison, soldiers are required to provide their own horses, clothes, armor, food, grass, and tents, and no matter how long the expedition lasts, there is no salary to speak of. So why is Hu Ben so good?
No?
Furthermore, these five hundred soldiers all live in the capital, which is very convenient. If they don't want to bring food into the camp, the official will ask them to enter the camp early and return home late. They can just bring some dry food for the lunch meal.
If that doesn't work, let him go back home for a meal at noon, and then return to camp at noon...
The same goes for the camp: when the local garrison is out to fight against thieves, they will live in the houses if they can get them. If there are no houses to get, they will set up tents on the spot. If there are no tents, you can just wrap up in a fur coat in the wild.<
/p>
Now the land pointed out by the eldest grandson, Sima Yu, is at least within the palace city. It has walls on all sides and can be used as a tent. There is no worry about wind and rain. It is more than a hundred times better than a garrison... If there are still people who don't want to do this, then that's it.
Easy to handle: But when the day comes and Xishan is approaching, it’s time to go home..."
Yuan Yan and Yuan Yuan were both stunned.
Asking for certificates of residence and debt is nothing, this is a trap!
Who would have thought that Li Chengzhi had prepared so many insidious tricks, one after another, interlocking with each other, and pressing forward step by step?
It is true as His Majesty said: How can I have so many evil thoughts at such a young age?
