spend time

The soldiers summoned by the military drum were a little confused.

They all heard about the princess entering the military camp. However, to ordinary soldiers, the superior princess has nothing to do with them. I think if I walk around the military camp and show off my authority, I will leave.

Who would have thought that the princess would have someone beat the military drum.

The ordering platform was six feet high. The princess jumped up onto the ordering platform with neat, clean and light movements. The soldiers secretly cheered in their hearts!

However, there is no more. They looked at the noble and beautiful little girl blankly, dully or numbly, waiting for the princess to speak.

Jiang Shaohua glanced at the faces of the soldiers, without saying much, and just ordered: "General Yu comes to read the military register, and those whose names are called will come forward. If there are only names but no people, just do it on the military register. A record. General Li also came to look at the military register to avoid any omissions by the general."

Li Tie's heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking something was wrong, and stepped forward bravely.

Jiang Shaohua said to Chen Zhuo again: "After ordering the troops today, I'll trouble Chen Changshi to write a memorial and send it to the court."

It is an ironclad fact that Zuo Zhen drank empty wages and drank the blood of soldiers. Once the impeachment memorial was announced, even Prime Minister Wang, with his hands and eyes, could not ignore the court's laws and blindly cover Zuo Zhen.

Chen Zhuo accepted the order with his hands raised, silently thinking about how to word this memorial. Also, I have to write a few letters to a few "old friends" in the capital, so that someone can help me during the court meeting...

Yu Gaosheng read the names on the military register and drew a circle after the names of the soldiers who were not called. Soon, there were more and more black circles.

Beads of sweat broke out on Li Tie's forehead.

He took refuge in Zuo Zhen early and became Zuo Zhen's confidant. Of course, he also has a share in the matter of eating empty pay and drinking soldiers' blood.

I just regret that the princess arrived suddenly and acted quickly. They were careless and had no defense at all. Thousands of pairs of eyes are watching at this moment, and there is a pile of empty names and no one...

"Why is there sweat on General Li's forehead?" Jiang Shaohua smiled and asked with concern: "Is it because the weather is too hot?"

Li Tie wiped his forehead with his sleeve, and his tone was no longer tough as before, showing a bit of guilt: "Yes, it's a bit hot and unbearable."

Jiang Shaohua smiled leisurely and said: "Half of the ordering has been completed. In more than half an hour, the military rolls will be completed. General Li will hold on a little longer."

Li Tie looked slightly stiff and nodded.

The princess seemed to be talking to herself: "Eating empty pay is actually not a big deal. It is common in the military camp. Whoever takes the lead does not drink some of the soldiers' blood. However, the empty pay is more than 30%, and even the soldiers' food and clothing are deducted in every possible way. , is really greedy. Even if Prime Minister Wang intends to protect him, can the Ministry of War tolerate such things? How can the emperor not be angry? "

"This beam belongs to the Jiang family, not Prime Minister Wang."

These words were spoken to him every word.

Li Tie's heart tightened and his expression became stiffer.

The princess's voice floated into her ears again: "In my opinion, General Zuo's ship won't last long. Smart people should get to the shore before the ship sinks, so as not to sink into the bottom of the water together."

"General Li, do you think so or not?"

Li Tie's throat was a little dry, and he coughed and replied, "The princess is right. However, there are so many people on the boat and it is far away from the shore. They all jump to the shore no matter the chance."

Jiang Shaohua smiled and said: "The people on the boat were originally on the shore. But they got on the boat that they shouldn't have because of a temporary change of heart. As long as you are determined to return to the shore, there is always a way."

Li Tie was speechless.

While Yu Chong was reading the military register, he was distracted and listened to it for a while. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Li Tie's shaky and guilty conscience, and Yu Chong sneered in his heart. This Li Tie also received great kindness from the King of Nanyang. But after the imperial court sent Zuo Zhen to the military camp, he was the first to defect to Zuo Zhen. There were more than a dozen people who voted in together with Li Tie.

These people have weak minds. In the future, he could seek refuge with Zuo Zhen for temporary power and gain, but today he might be able to jump out of a "broken ship" and rebel.

……

After finishing all the military rolls, Yu Chong's voice became hoarse.

There are countless circles drawn on the military book. In short, it is very dazzling to look at as you turn over the pages.

Jiang Shaohua flipped through it, his eyes were cold, and his voice dropped: "Chen Changshi, I'll give you this military register. Could you please Chen Changshi to calculate how many troops are missing?"

Chen Changshi accepted the order and received the military register.

Wait, this is not in line with military rules. Li Tie subconsciously opened his mouth to stop him, but as soon as his lips moved, the princess looked over: "General Li will go with Chen Changshi."

Chen Zhuo was so experienced that he had already sensed the princess's intention and calmly took over the conversation: "You really have to ask General Li about the matters in the military camp. General Li will go to the military tent with me now."

Li Tie wanted to refuse, but when he looked at Chen Changshi, most of his courage disappeared for some reason. After standing there for a moment, he followed Chen Zhuo.

Yu Chong couldn't hold back and whispered: "Princess, Li Tie is capricious and a complete villain. Why not take this opportunity to get rid of him."

What kind of shore would it be if we went down with the ship?

Jiang Shaohua glanced at Yu Chong lightly: "You are all old men of the Nanyang Army. For the sake of your grandfather, I must give you a chance to change your ways. That day, General Yu did something he shouldn't have done. If it doesn’t matter, I will forgive you once.”

Yu Chongshan quickly expressed his loyalty: "I will be loyal to the prince as much as I will to the princess. I will never do anything that I shouldn't do."

Jiang Shaohua slowed down his voice: "This year, you have suffered a lot."

Yu Chong, an eight-foot-tall man, almost burst into tears on the spot with red circles in his eyes.

When King Nanyang was alive, Zuo Zhen had many scruples, and there was a limit to his arrogance. In the year after the death of King Nanyang, Zuo Zhen was domineering in the military camp, and his life became particularly difficult.

"Fortunately, the princess is here." Yu Chong's voice was very low: "If the princess doesn't come, the general may not be able to hold on."

Jiang Shaohua sighed secretly in his heart.

In her previous life, she abandoned not only Nanyang County, but also this group of soldiers who were loyal to her grandfather.

Now that she starts over, she wants to get back everything that belongs to her.

"I, the Princess, are all aware of the hardships suffered by the officers and soldiers." Jiang Shaohua straightened his back and did not raise his voice deliberately. His voice still reached everyone's ears clearly: "Don't worry, officers and soldiers, I, the Princess, I will definitely make the decision for you.”

"The arrears of military pay will be sent to you before dark."

There are a thousand words and ten thousand words that are not as exciting as this sentence.

The soldiers who had been standing for a little while suddenly became commotion. Those standing in the back row couldn't help but stand on tiptoes and look around.

Jiang Shaohua turned around and ordered: "Master, please take a few people to the barracks warehouse and bring a few frames of copper coins. I, the princess, will make up for the military pay today."
