marquis of jingan

Chapter 760 Zhang Liangji and the Wall Ladder

For the Huaihe Navy, there are about 10 people on the books. If they are all distributed, it will be 80 taels of silver.

This amount of money is not a small amount, it can even be said to be a large amount, so large that even if it is reported to the household department, the household department may not necessarily approve it.

But Shen Yi has money himself.

Before he left Jiankang, the Liulichang outside Jiankang City was able to produce nearly pure and transparent glass, that is to say, this thing could be realized soon.

Not to mention a lot, with the financial resources of those "local tyrants" in Jiankang, there is no problem at all if they are worth several million taels.

Although this thing has not been realized yet, Xu Fu has a lot of cash at his place, so he can temporarily transfer some of it.

Moreover, there are not many people in the Huaihe Naval Camp in Fengyang Prefecture. There are more than 1 people, and at most it will cost 10,000+ taels of silver. With Shen Yi's current ability, he can transfer 10,000+ taels of silver in three days. No.

However, it is worth mentioning that the act of throwing coins in the Huaihe Navy was not on Shen Yi's whim, but he had discussed it with the emperor in advance.

After all, this kind of thing can only be done with the consent of the emperor, otherwise it is very taboo for you to send money to the frontier army in private.

Only when the emperor nods can coins be distributed.

Sprinkling coins in the Huaihe Navy is a means, a very useful means.

First of all, if the money is distributed according to the list of the thousand-household battalions of the Huaihe Navy, to a certain extent, it can be found out how much the Huaihe Navy has paid and how many people have been falsely reported.

More importantly, it can represent the emperor and bestow favor on the lowest-level soldiers of the Huaihe Navy.

The Zhao Clan has occupied the Huaihe Navy for many years. From top to bottom, from the top to the bottom of the Huaihe Navy, from commanders to thousands of households to hundreds of households, and even the lower ranks, the captain and deputy may all have some ties to the Zhao Clan, but The soldiers at the bottom have little to do with the Zhao Clan.

Because the low-level soldiers of the Huaihe Navy are not treated very well, and sometimes the superiors will deduct their salaries.

Although some of these people are small soldiers who have been in the Huaihe Navy for several years or even more than ten years, and they are inextricably linked with the grassroots officers above them, but their interests are not deep after all.

The eight taels of silver that Shen Yi sent them directly may be what they can only get in one year, two years, or even several years!

In addition, the money was issued in the name of the emperor. The status of the emperor, in this era of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, naturally has some impression bonuses.

Most people still think that the emperor was born good.

With this level of relationship, the emperor gave them a large sum of money... These low-level soldiers of the Huaihe Navy will naturally develop a good impression of the emperor.

But it has to be explained that this goodwill is definitely not enough to make them escape from the control of the Zhao Clan.

But with this good impression, in the future, when the Zhao Clan really wants to pull these people together to rebel and engage in beheading business, they will be more hesitant in their hearts.

With this hesitation, the morale of these people will not be stable at that time.

Because of this reason, Zhao Zhuo lost his composure, and even asked Shen Yi to give him the money, and he issued it on Shen Yi's behalf.

Now, the Zhao Clan has not turned against the court, that is to say, Shen Yi, who represents the emperor, now has the absolute right to speak here.

After being stunned by Shen Yi, Zhao Zhuo hesitated to speak, and finally did not speak.

Master Shen looked at the soldiers gathered on the school grounds, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, I represent the Emperor, and I will do what I say. Three days later, at the gate of Daying, there will be a thousand households and a thousand households. The household camp distributes money."

Having said that, he turned his head to look at Zhao Zhuo, and said calmly: "Young General, I will ask you to give me the roster of the Huaihe Navy in a while. I will reward the three armies according to the names on the roster."

As an imperial envoy, Zhao Zhuo had no way to refuse Shen Yi's request. He could only nod his head helplessly, and said, "Yes, the general will hand over the roster of the thousand-household battalion under his command to the imperial envoy later."

Shen Yi frowned, and said, "Young General, I want the roster of the entire Huaihe Navy."

Zhao Zhuo smiled wryly and said, "Master Imperial Envoy, the general will only be the Huaihe Navy Qianhu, and the other Qianhu battalions will not be in charge of the general..."

"Then you can ask them one by one thousand camps, and just say I want it."

Shen Yi was expressionless: "Anyone who doesn't cooperate will be dealt with as disobeying the imperial court all the way, and I will personally write a letter to participate in the performance."

After saying this, Master Shen glanced at Zhao Zhuo, walked away to the gate of the Huai River Navy, got on his horse, and went back to Fengyang Mansion.

Seeing Shen Yi leaving on horseback, Zhao Zhuo's face became even more ugly.

A commander, standing behind Zhao Zhuo, lowered his head slightly and said, "Young General, do you really want to give the roster to this Shen?"

"if not?"

Zhao Zhuo took a look at this man, and said in a muffled voice, "You want to disobey the imperial court?"

The middle-aged commander quickly bowed his head: "The last general dare not..."

"Okay, let's prepare the roster, remember, prepare according to the list reported to the Ministry of War."

Zhao Zhuo said helplessly, "The man surnamed Shen is from the Ministry of War. If there is any discrepancy, there will be big trouble."

"Major General, according to the list, the number may not be enough..."

Zhao Zhuo said helplessly: "If he asked about the number of people, he would say that some of them were sent to inspect the Huaihe River."

"Yes."

The commander nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Major General, since the man surnamed Shen wants to give us money, then let's just keep it. When the time comes, all the money from the soldiers will have to be handed over to us." come up..."

"Are you crazy?"

Zhao Zhuo glared at the man and scolded, "You've been blinded by profit!"

"If you pick out the money that someone else has, who would be willing to do it with you?"

After cursing a few words, Zhao Zhuo closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Okay, go down and make arrangements. I will report this matter to my father as soon as possible. I believe my father should have a proper way to deal with it."

Having said that, Zhao Zhuo glanced at the direction Shen Yi was leaving again, and sighed helplessly.

"These scholars..."

"There are so many eyes..."

........................

After returning to the imperial envoy of Fengyang Mansion, Master Shen went back to his study and wrote two letters. After writing the letters, he dried the ink and put them away carefully. Then he handed the letters to Jiang Sheng and said: " This letter is for the palace... Remember to send the letter out of Fengyang Mansion through the way of the inner guards, they are the only ones at the moment, and they will definitely be able to send the letter to Jiankang."

Jiang Sheng nodded, and then asked, "My lord, where is the other letter?"

"It's for Xu Fu, let him transfer some money over."

Master Shen smiled and said: "It will cost a lot of money in two days, and we don't have enough money."

"This letter was also sent to Jiankang by the inner guard."

Jiang Sheng nodded, carefully put away the two letters, put them in his sleeves, and went down to deliver the letters.

After writing these two letters, Master Shen yawned, had hot water boiled, took a bath, and went to bed.

In the following two days, he did not go to the Huaihe Naval Camp to patrol the camp, and spent most of his time in Fengyang Mansion, eating and drinking.

On the morning of the third day, Mr. Shen brought two carriages full of silver to the gate of the Huai River Naval Camp.

Because the weather was very hot, he asked someone to build a pergola, and then asked someone to sit under the pergola with the roster of the Huaihe Navy, preparing to give coins to the Huaihe Navy.

Because it was the imperial envoy who distributed the money, a long queue formed in front of the arbor soon, and at a glance, there were hundreds of people.

Master Shen looked at the process of distributing money for a while, and after making sure there was no problem, he walked to the gate of the Huaihe Naval Camp, took a look at the school grounds in the camp, and frowned slightly.

He looked at a soldier of the Huaihe Navy next to him, and said slowly, "Go and call your major general."

After about a stick of incense, Zhao Zhuo, who was in armor, trotted all the way to Shen Yi, and bowed his head deeply to Shen Yi.

"The imperial envoy is looking for the last general?"

Shen Yi nodded and asked, "Where's the person?"

Zhao Zhuo was stunned, and asked, "Who?"

"Where did the people in your camp go?"

Shen Yi looked at the school field in the camp, frowned and asked, "It seems that there are a lot of people missing."

"Your Imperial Envoy has insight."

The major general sighed slightly, bowed his head and said, "Yesterday, my father transferred most of the brothers in the camp..."

"In the past two days, people from Qi suddenly attacked and harassed Yanhuai, maybe..."

Zhao Zhuo looked up at Shen Yi with a serious expression.

"It's about to fight!"
