7.21 Send troops to fight for power

So, dear readers, do you still have tickets?The author asks for a wave~~~
...............................

Time flew by, and it was the end of September, the living room in the inner courtyard of Wei Mansion.

"Master, this is an order issued by the Ministry of War, asking us to lead our troops to the southern border for support within ten days, but there is no mention of the issue of supplies." Saeko Busujima handed an official document to Wei Xu and said.

"Report, our staff is ready and ready to leave at any time, but there is still arrears of payment, and the distance from Jinling to southern Xinjiang is long. The soldiers are homesick and worried about the living conditions of their families. I hope it will be resolved.

What's more, this official document should be copied several times, sent every other day, and reported urgently within [-] miles, so that such an urgent document can be recorded, so as to ensure that there will be no bullshit problems such as 'never received the official document'.

Let the troops start to prepare in an all-round way, and set off to fight in southern Xinjiang at any time, but it is mainly about material and logistics. There is no rush for the personnel.

Also, don’t worry about the urging document above, no matter how harsh the wording is, it’s a feudal era, and if you don’t have money, don’t expect the army to fight. "Wei Xu made a fool of everyone.

"Husband, is this okay?" Qin Keqing asked very worriedly, "Will this cause any bad problems? If the Ministry of War finds out, can we deal with it?"

"Don't worry, in fact, we all guessed that I will go over this time, and we have already discussed it." Wei Xu did not lie about this, "Besides, we are not the only ones who do this.

At present, all the guards in the world do not have sufficient salary. It is the most comfortable for those like us who can give half. Many remote guards can only rely on their own farming to support themselves.

Of course, this also has something to do with our location in the important area of ​​Jinling and Jiangnan Province being a big tax-paying province, but no matter what, the army must be fed if it wants to fight. This is the iron law of the feudal era. "Wei Xu said bluntly.

"Even if the Holy Cult forces the sons below to work hard, they have to arrange their families well. The disciples of the major sects chew fruit for a month, but ordinary people don't necessarily have it for a year." Dongfang Bai said using his mental power to control the embroidery needle.

These days, Wei Xu has naturally strengthened Dongfang Bai's spiritual power, which also made her truly understand why she failed that day.

What's interesting is that I don't know if it's because Dongfang Bai has become innate and powerful. Originally, Wei Xu and other girls needed more than a month to strengthen, but Dongfang Bai completed it in less than 20 days.

It's not that the effect is castrated in a short period of time. In fact, Dongfang Bai's mental strength is not bad, and compared directly with Wei Xu, who is already innate, it is also a maximum of [-] tons.

In the past two days, whenever she has time, she has polished her newly broken strength. For example, the most common method is to control the embroidery needle with mental power to play embroidery, and the effect is very good.

"Sister Bai, is it like this even when fighting in the rivers and lakes?" Zhen Yinglian asked puzzled, "It is said from time to time in the scriptures that heroes are all righteous and donate money?"

"Stupid girl, how can anyone really risk their lives for nothing!" Qin Keqing pulled her into her arms and said lovingly, "As the saying goes, 'Everything in the world is for profit, and the world is for profit'. Isn’t the last thing you fight for is profit?”

"What's more, these gentlemen of the Ministry of War really don't know how much they have eaten up the salary they should have paid?" Xue Baochai said disdainfully as the logistics manager, "If we didn't pay the money ourselves, how could we use it.

What's more, brother Xu has made the army so elite that more than 5000 people are all wearing half-length composite armor, even the best iron armor can't keep up, and even the remote generals may not have such armor. "

"In short, don't worry about it too much. It's the capital that wants us to fight now, not us wanting to fight. Anyway, things in southern Xinjiang are like that. With Nan'an County King watching, there will be no problem." Wei Xu finally concluded.

"Master, I'm afraid it's not that simple this time!" Saeko Toujima took out another piece of information with a strange expression, "This is from our people. The 'Snow Brand' doesn't have much business in southern Xinjiang. Our news Relatively limited.

The Liu family's request for help was not completely nonsense. This time, for some unknown reason, the combat effectiveness of the Qianxiang Kingdom has not changed much, but the intelligence seems to have improved significantly, and the small troops of the Zhennan Army have been ambushed several times. "

"Sister Xizi, do you mean that there is a ghost in the court this time?" Dongfang Bai immediately frowned and asked, "Or is there a ghost in the Zhennan Army?"

"I'm afraid there are more. According to our intelligence in the capital and on the canal, the capital has arranged for many people to go south. The total number has exceeded a hundred, but we found no abnormalities in Jinling. If there are no surprises, they should have avoided Jinling. Taking a detour to the south, considering that the only major forces further south in Jiangnan Province are the Guangdong Thirteenth Army and the Zhennan Army in Fujian Province, their goal should be the Liu family in southern Xinjiang.

But this time they deliberately avoided our territory. I'm afraid it's not a good thing for the master. Coupled with the order of the Ministry of War, if they want to solve the master in the southern border, everything will make sense. "Saeko Busushima has a solemn expression.

"Oh? Are you going to make a direct move?" Wei Xu laughed dumbfounded, "Very well, then I will give them this chance. Originally, I was planning to procrastinate for a while, but now I don't have to.

As long as the supplies provided by the Ministry of War are about the same, we will set off directly this time, and we will treat it as serving the country and the people, and give them a chance to do it, so as not to make some people have the illusion of 'I am actually good at it'. "

"There is only one thousand days to be a thief, and there is no one thousand days to guard against a thief. Of course it is best to solve it once. If it can't be solved, it will hurt them and make them feel heartbroken." Dongfang Bai's mental power increased sharply, and he broke the embroidery needle in an instant. .

Two days later, the Great Court Meeting in the capital.

"Let's start, Your Majesty, today there is Wei Xu, the commander of the Jinling Guard, facing the national crisis, he doesn't think about His Majesty's kindness, the kindness of the court, and he doesn't move a bit when facing the order, and even brazenly asks for money and food.

In view of the fact that he is a fourth-rank court official and the Ministry of War has no right to deal with it directly, His Majesty is hereby requested to arrest him and bring him back to Beijing to await trial, as an example to others! "Wang Feng, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, is fair and honest, serving the country and the people.

"What do you say about the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies?" Emperor Yongzheng frowned, feeling tired. Even though he had been in the deep palace for a long time, he still knew the common sense of "If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it well". Be prepared to behave.

However, although the Ministry of War is in charge of the logistics, in terms of troop mobilization, no matter what, it can only issue a transfer order after it has been filed with the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.

"Your Majesty, I have also received a report from the Jinling Guard here. General Wei clearly stated in the official document that it was not for the purpose of suing, but just to prevent some people from making false accusations." It was Chen Ruiwen, the governor of the Left Army who spoke.

At the beginning of the Dashun Dynasty, the Governor’s Office of the Five Armies was in charge of most of the affairs of the military. At that time, the Governor of the Left Army was in charge of logistics. It was only later that the civil servants or the Ministry of War took away power, but the theoretical authority was still there.

To put it simply, when the following military units apply for supplies in the capital, they do not send a document to the Ministry of War, but to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies. After accounting and calibration, they report to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War is responsible for the distribution.

Compared with the standards of modern society, the governor of the Zuo Army is equivalent to an "accountant", while the Ministry of War is a "warehousing and cashier".

"Your Majesty, when an army goes on an expedition, they should make up for the military pay and pay the departure fee. This has always been the rule. The Jinling Guard has more than [-] sons. According to the rule, all members are paid, and the standard for dispatching troops is seven.

At the same time, the commander-in-chief of the right army should also send personnel to go with the army to supervise military discipline and military law at ordinary times. "Niu Jizong said lightly.

The court was silent.

Is Niu Jizong right?Of course, this was indeed stipulated and implemented during the founding of the Dashun Dynasty. The five military governors' mansions each had their own division of labor, basically covering most of the military affairs. At that time, the Ministry of War was actually the emperor's staff.

But this is no longer the case now. For example, the so-called "personnel sent by the governor of the left army" is actually equivalent to supervising the army. Now it is usually served by civilian officials sent by the Ministry of War, and occasionally the emperor arranges Jinyi soldiers or even eunuchs to serve as the supervisor.

Now that Niu Jizong brought it up again, it is obviously not a mistake, but to turn over old accounts and seize power!

"Lord Niu, the Ministry of War has reported to His Majesty the matter of supervising the army, and the personnel have been arranged, so there is no need to worry about it." Wang Feng turned back without hesitation, "At the same time, he also urged the Jinling Guard to dispatch troops as soon as possible."

"Really?" Chen Ruiwen, the governor of the Left Army, took it with a sneer, "Surely these adults also took Cheng Yi, right? I just don't know how to go to southern Xinjiang with more than 5000 sons?"

"Enough!" Emperor Yongzheng interrupted their quarrel with a sullen face. Even if he hated the nobles, he knew the rules of the army's expedition. "The Ministry of War arranges the corresponding food and salary as usual, and arranges to send troops as soon as possible!"

"I obey the order!" Wang Feng could only accept orders, not to mention that sending troops to fight must require logistics.

"Your Majesty, please send someone to monitor the logistics and supply situation." The Commander-in-Chief of the Right Army Shi Guangzhu said suddenly, and once again baffled the civil officials with one sentence, because theoretically speaking, the Commander-in-Chief of the Right Army was indeed in charge of the internal audit and inspection of the army!
