marquis of jingan

Chapter 922
Xu Fu handled the matter very quickly. A few days later, the first batch of gunpowder was sent to the territory of Huai'an Prefecture by the cavalry from Liulichang. Shen Yi dispatched soldiers to distribute the gunpowder to Lianshui Camp and Xiangshui Camp.

Some cash was also escorted to the imperial envoy.

Regarding the money, it must be mentioned that Shen Yi had reported to the emperor in advance.

And when posting, it can only be posted in the name of the emperor, otherwise there will be suspicion of treason.

But even so, Shen Yi was a bit reckless in doing so, because in order to avoid suspicion, the generals who have always led the army have never given rewards or pensions from the court.

In this way, it can be proved that the money was issued by the emperor and the court, not by the leading generals.

When the pension money is handed out to the local government, it will be handed out layer by layer. In order to prevent this situation, Shen Yi has been keeping accounts and distributing the money by himself since he led the army. .

This is one of the reasons why his soldiers can quickly form combat effectiveness.

It is also Shen's unique advantage.

Because other generals who lead the army cannot do this. If they do this with their front feet, they will be impeached by Yu Shitai's participation in the performance, and then they will be stepped into the dust by the civil servants, and they will not be able to get up.

Even if the Huaihe Navy issued pensions, it had to go through the imperial court and the local yamen.

But Shen Yi is different.

He is a civil servant.

And for a long time, until now, he has not actually assumed the position of general of the army, nor the position of military attache, but the imperial envoy of the warlord.

With this level of imperial envoy status, there is no problem logically for him to issue pensions on behalf of the imperial court.

But even so, because the cake of the local yamen was moved, some people still wrote a letter to impeach Shen Yi in the past two years.

This is also something that can’t be helped. If you want to accomplish something, you must withstand some pressure from all parties, and it is inevitable.

After the most needed gunpowder and arrows were in place, Shen Yi was immediately escorted to the Xiangshui Camp.

At the same time, Jiao Duan, the other Commander of the Forbidden Army, also came to the Xiangshui Camp. When he saw Shen Yi, he knelt on the ground without saying a word, and bowed his head respectfully: "Commander Tongzhi of the Fifth Army Battalion Jiao Duan, pay homage to Minister Shen."

Master Shen helped him up with a smile, patted the big man on the shoulder, and said, "Work hard, General Jiao."

"Don't dare."

The commander of the imperial army folded his fists and lowered his head, and said, "May I ask Shen Shilang, where should our army be arranged, and which general should we obey? Or should we directly follow Shen Shilang's arrangement?"

Shen Yi smiled and said: "General Meng is also in the Xiangshui camp at this time, General Jiao went to find him, and marched and retreated with the [-] forbidden troops under him."

Hearing these words, Jiao Duan also heaved a sigh of relief.

Although he has been working in Jiankang, he has also heard about his colleague Meng Lian in Huai'an. Knowing that Meng Lian has not been assigned any particularly dangerous errands during this time, when he heard that he was acting with Meng Lian, he immediately He lowered his head and cupped his fists: "The last general obeys!"

He was about to cup his fists to say goodbye, when Shen Yi coughed and said, "General Jiao, you are not in a hurry to go to the front line, you might as well take the brothers under your command and rest near the Xiangshui camp for a day or two."

Hearing Shen Yi's words, Jiao Duan was thoughtful, and asked, "Master Shen is going to fight a big battle?"

Shen Yi smiled and said nothing.

Jiao Duan immediately understood, bowed his head and cupped his fists and said, "The last general obeys!"

After all, he respectfully retreated.

Not long after General Jiao left, the travel-worn Zhao Er entered Shen Yi's tent. He first lowered his head and cupped his fists, and called Mr. Shen. After Shen Yi gave him a blank look, he looked at Shen Yi with a smile, and said, "Zi Heng , I'll bring you everything you want."

"It was sent to the front line day and night, and it has now been handed over to General Su."

Zhao Er patted his chest and said, "There is not a catty of gunpowder missing, so you haven't been ashamed?"

Last time, after Zhao Jizhou stabbed a person to death on the battlefield, he vomited uncontrollably and couldn't eat much for several days. Later, Shen Yi assigned him to the logistics organization and asked him to be in charge of some logistics work for the battle in Huai'an Mansion.

I don't know if it's an enlightenment or a sex change, Zhao Er is quite serious about the logistics work, and there really hasn't been any mistakes in such a long time.

Shen Yi stood up, walked in front of Zhao Er, and said with a smile: "I just said that the second brother is serious, and he can accomplish anything. After the battle in Huai'an this year, I will go to the court and ask for credit for the second brother." , when the second brother returns to Jiankang, he will be able to show his face in front of Master Zhao."

Zhao Eryi sat down on the chair and snorted softly: "I'm doing my own thing, why do I have to show my face in front of other people?"

"Where is Master Zhao, who is someone else?"

Shen Yi patted Zhao Er's shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, second brother, Xiangshui Camp is about to fight, don't stay here for a long time, I'll give you an errand."

Zhao Jizhou coughed and asked, "What's the matter?"

"In the past few days, a batch of money will be sent to my imperial envoy's office. Now that I am not in Huai'an Mansion, most of my followers are not here. I can only trouble you, second brother, to help me take care of the money. Don't let They're lost."

Zhao Er pouted: "I'm not Kuding, how much money do you have, let me go..."

"100 million taels."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "Is it enough for the second brother to go for a walk?"

Zhao Er was stunned for a while, then nodded blankly.

"enough…"

He swallowed, and asked, "Ziheng, where did you get the money? It's my grandfather's house. It's not easy to spend so much money in a short while."

"Don't ask, just watch for me."

Zhao Er smiled: "Isn't Ziheng afraid that I'll guard him and steal him?"

"Second brother has changed sex, I believe not."

Master Shen smiled and said: "Besides, stealing military pay is for the barbarians."

Hearing this, Zhao Er shuddered, cupped his fists at Shen Yi, turned and left.

After Zhao Er left, Shen Yi sat in his seat, closed his eyes and thought.

After a long time, he stood up slowly, left his tent, came to the front-line military tent, and rang the tent raising drum at the entrance of the big tent.

Soon, more than half a thousand generals from the Eastern Front gathered in front of Shen Yi. After everyone arrived, Shen Yi glanced at the crowd and asked, "Have you got your gunpowder and arrow supplies?"

Everyone nodded.

Su Ding lowered his head and cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Shen, the gunpowder escorted this time is enough for us to attack for several days."

Shen Yi nodded silently, and said, "Well, it's better to do it sooner rather than later."

"The fighting on the north bank is fierce now, and the people of Qi might abandon the south bank and flee at any time, and then they will be withdrawn to the north bank. These days, the brothers of our Huai'an army have died in vain. The Huaihe Navy who are entangled by people, we can't live with them."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi took a deep breath and looked at Su Ding: "General Su, I thought I could force myself to fight with the Qi people who have already crossed the river."

Su Ding hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Mr. Shen, you said last time that you will slowly consume these Qi people..."

Shen Yi nodded, and said slowly: "The premise of doing this is that the Huaihe navy on the north bank can fight on par with the Qi people, and entangle them in the north."

He looked at Su Ding, and said helplessly: "According to the information, yesterday, the more than 2 Huaihe navy who crossed the river encountered the Qi army outside the city of Suzhou. The two sides fought fiercely for a day and a night. The Huaihe navy..."

"Small defeat."

Shen Yi glanced at the crowd again, and said slowly: "So I thought that the Huaihe navy might withdraw to the south bank at some point, and they can no longer be counted on at this time."

"My opinion is that starting tonight, attack all the people's positions."

"What do you think?"

Su Ding looked respectful: "The general has no objection!"

He opened his mouth, and naturally there was a lot of noise in the handsome tent.

"The last general is waiting, obey!"
