Starting in Saarhu, it is a bit difficult to make a comeback.

Chapter 77 The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry (please read the new chapter)
After Li Xianzhong conducted a thorough investigation of the salary gap, the entire Kaiyuan Road was "recruiting troops."

Two days later, Kong Youde appeared in front of Li Xianzhong. He said proudly: "To tell you, Major General, I have earned 2 taels of silver from Yu Shouzhi, and the silver has been brought back to Pinglu Fort."

This Yu Shouzhi is really rich. Li Xianzhong originally thought that Kong Youde could knock him off for 1 taels, but it seemed that this guy did have the potential to be a profiteer, and this time he completely captured Yu Shouzhi.

2 taels is equivalent to the free pay of 900 frontier troops for nearly a year and a half.

Li Xianzhong said: "You kid can do it. You are evil-minded and ruthless. I, the general, did not misjudge the person. I will reward you personally with 1000 taels this time. Go to Mr. Fan to receive the reward."

Kong Youde said with a smile: "This is all the young general's clever plan. He was tricked in advance. The villain dare not take the credit. It's a pity that the other people are not short of armaments. Pinglubao still has a lot of military supplies dragged back from Gule Village. Less, otherwise it would be more than this income.”

This can only be blamed on Shouzhi being too evil-minded. He just took the money and didn't even keep armaments. He really thought that no one could cure him.

He went to the capital and tried his best to sell goods but only made a surplus of 3 taels. Kong Youde's sale was only 7000 taels. It is true that "a man is not rich without windfall, and a horse is not fat without night grass."

When Li Xianzhong saw that Kong Youde had not retreated, he asked, "Do you have something to say?"

Kong Youde said shyly: "There is a fellow countryman who I have known since childhood. He is still mining in the mine in Tieling. Can I let him work with me for the Major General?"

Not only did he mention Li Xianzhong, he also knew that his fellow countryman was named Geng Zhongming, but apart from the part about surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, these people's courage and ability were still good.

Anyway, Kong Youde has been accepted, and it doesn’t matter if Geng Zhongming comes back. After all, these two people were forced to rebel in history. There is a big difference between Fan Wencheng and Fan Wencheng who took the initiative to surrender. Li Xianzhong does not need too much. Guard against them.

Li Xianzhong agreed to Kong Youde's request.

Three days will come soon.

The final summary result is that the quota of several people has been reduced by 1200, and the full strength of the original route is now 12000.

At this time, the newly appointed Liaodong supervisor Yan Mingtai was inspecting various ministries in Kaiyuan together with Li Xianzhong.

Soon they came to Xin'an Pass where guerrilla Ren Guozhong was located.

Xin'anguan is also called Beiguan, which connects the transportation line between Daming and Yehe.

For Li Xianzhong, this place must be in his own hands. It is obvious that he is looking for trouble today.

Although Ren Guozhong is not as exaggerated as Yu Shouzhi, there are still 1500 vacancies in his establishment of 450 people.

In order to cope with Li Xianzhong's inspection, he temporarily invited 450 people to guest appearances.

However, he was not willing to buy mandarin duck jackets for all these people, so this group of people also wore a variety of clothes.

About half of the people did not have military uniforms, making the entire team look very messy.

Although Yan Mingtai came to help at the invitation of Li Xianzhong this time, as the supervisor of the Liaodong Army, he also had the responsibility to supervise the various armies.

Some of Ren Guozhong's people were dressed in a mess, which really damaged the military power of the Ming Dynasty.

This guy really didn't take the two of them seriously when he fooled Shangguan like this.

Yan Mingtai's face was very ugly, and he said sarcastically: "If you are a guerrilla, these soldiers are not beggars pulled from the street, are they?"

Ren Guozhong had no choice but to say: "According to the rule, the imperial court should issue one mandarin duck war jacket every three years. Many soldiers in the frontier army have not received the second one in ten years. The war jackets have long been damaged, so their clothes are a bit messy. Please ask Yan Jianjun Forgive me!"

Yan Mingtai has been in Liaodong for many years and knows that many soldiers have never been able to get new jackets, so the jackets they wear are shabby and even patched, but he can tolerate this.

But Ren Guozhong was obviously telling lies with his eyes open, thinking that he was a fool.

At this time, Li Xianzhong said: "It is true that the combat power of the sergeants does not lie in their appearance. According to Ren Guerrilla, these sergeants are all veterans with many years of experience, so their combat power must not be weak. Please practice for us, so that I and my general can Supervisor Yan is eye-opening."

To be honest, when Li Xianzhong wanted to check the salary, he wanted to find someone to temporarily fill up the salary, and then continue to eat after fooling him.

Unexpectedly, the newly appointed supervisor would directly bring Shang Fang's sword to patrol. At this moment, he was still a little panicked.

These people who were brought here barely learned a formation, how can they be used for practice?Therefore, there are many foreign appearances.

Ren Guozhong was arrested on the spot by Yan Mingtai for dereliction of duty.

This Beiguan was naturally taken over by Li Xianzhong's people.

After Ren Guozhong was captured, several other people were greatly shocked.The rabbit dies and the fox grieves, and things harm its kind.They did not expect that Li Xianzhong would directly take Yan Mingtai on a patrol, so they took the initiative to reduce the number of soldiers.

But surprisingly, Li Xianzhong did not agree.

During the subsequent inspection, although there were some people in the ranks of General Gao Zhen, Guerrilla Yu Hualong, and Guard He Maoguan, Li Xianzhong and Yan Mingtai did not point it out.

Instead, he praised the few people for leading the troops well, unlike Ren Guozhong, who was arrogant and domineering.

After all, they have more or less taken the initiative to squeeze out some of the free salary figures. There is no need for Li Xianzhong to let them reduce it further. Without any profit or water, these people will cause trouble.

He checked the pay more to ask for their attitude. These soldiers would not be able to form combat power in a short time, as long as they could guard Kaiyuan.

Of course, the more important thing is that there is no horse market where these people are stationed. Li Xianzhong sent a signal to them. As long as they don't confront him, there is no problem in continuing to make a living in Kaiyuan.

In addition, Yan Mingtai carefully checked the personnel who had returned from the North Route Army and found more than 40 problematic Houjin spies.

His inspection of the entire army this time was quite effective.

The method of organizing the army is nothing more than "hit a stick and give a date." Now that Li Xianzhong has finished wielding the stick, he naturally wants to give a date to appease people.

Zhou Yongchun, governor of Liaodong, was transferred to governor of Shandong, and Li Xianzhong sent someone to deliver 50 East beads.

Zhou Yongchun also reciprocated the favor and arranged for the royal censor to repay the 4 months of salary arrears from Kaiyuan Tieling Two Roads.

After receiving the long-overdue pay, both the soldiers and generals such as Gao Zhen were grateful to Li Xianzhong, especially when Li Xianzhong refused their second initiative to reduce personnel, which was obviously acquiescence to their free pay benefits.

So several people also took out part of their salary to repay Li Xianzhong. This time the court was able to reissue the salary, and Li Xianzhong must have made some arrangements. They still understood this rule.

But surprisingly, Li Xianzhong did not accept the money.

Just let them train their troops well so that they can go out with him and perform meritorious service.

It's not that he doesn't lack money, it's just that Wanli will soon issue an order for him to get married, and they will have to give this gift sooner or later.

I'm new here, so I can't look too ugly when I eat.

In addition, Li Xianzhong also drew a red line for them. The amount of empty pay had been set for them, but the pay of the battalion sergeants was no longer allowed to be withheld, especially in the name of filial piety.

Now it seems that Li Xianzhong's salary check was actually to supplement their wages, and the spies who inspected Hou Jin had no intention of targeting them.

Naturally, a few people accepted it happily and said that they would be at the mercy of General Li.

At this time, the morale of the troops who had opened the original route had greatly increased. In just a few days, Li Xianzhong successfully completed the opening of the original route.

Of course, this does not include Yu Shouzhi from Xiguan.

Yu Shouzhi was a little uneasy, and Li Xianzhong's capture of Ren Guozhong sounded the alarm for him.

Now all the generals in Kaiyuan have turned to Li Xianzhong, leaving him in a state of panic.

If he had not spent 2 taels of silver to buy a mandarin duck war jacket, perhaps he would have voluntarily given up military power to avoid ending up like Ren Guozhong.

Now he knows very well that Li Xianzhong will not let go of the horse market in Xiguan.

Since you, Li Xianzhong, are unkind and unjust, don't blame me, Yu Shouzhi, for not following the rules.

The dog jumps over the wall when it is anxious, and the rabbit bites when it is anxious.

The more Yu Shouzhi thought about it, the angrier he became, so anger arose in his heart and evil grew in his guts.

He said: "Master Liu, hurry up and go to the Mongolian flower frying department, bring 5000 taels of silver, and be sure to persuade Zai Sai and Nuan Tu to send troops to seize the border."
