I am the carpenter king

Chapter 132 Prestige

() Liaodong, Shenyang City.

Looking at the general standing in front of him, Sun Chengzong nodded slightly. Although he was not satisfied, he still looked like a soldier.Yesterday, Sun Chengzong took over the military talisman from Yang Yuan. At this time, he was already the supreme commander of Liaodong.

Today, Sun Chengzong beat drums and gathered generals. Of course, he found all the guards in Shenyang City, led by Shenyang Guard General He Shixian.Looking around among the generals below, Sun Chengzong said lightly: "What is the identity of this commander and what is his origin, I think everyone sitting here knows it well, so I won't say much. Many people may think that I am just He’s a civil servant, you’ve seen this kind of person a lot, he’s no different from Yang Gao. He’s very successful, he doesn’t know how to fight, and he interferes with the affairs of the army.”

Sun Chengzong's voice was not loud, and his tone was not harsh, but everyone present looked great.At this time, they already understood that the handsome this time was different from before.But what's different, they haven't noticed it yet, they just know that the original commanders don't speak like that.

After glancing around among the crowd, Sun Chengzong continued: "You are all veterans in the battlefield, and fighting the enemy on the battlefield is your strength, so I won't say much about it. When I took office, I didn't have any prestige. So you don’t have to worry. However, this commander is His Majesty’s teacher, and he made a promise to His Majesty when he left Beijing. This Liaodong commander will definitely rectify it, but I don’t care about things in the past, and I will follow this rule in the future. Handsome rules are done!"

"The last general will follow the commander's instruction!" The generals in the hall clasped their fists at Sun Chengzong and said loudly together.

"Although I have never been to Liaodong, I have stayed in Datong for many years. I know very well about the border and the army. I will not hold you accountable for what you did before. After you go back, you will send soldiers from your own army Find out all of them and register them in the register. I have reported all the incidents of empty pay and fraudulent claims. I promise here that I will not pursue the report this time. But I also said the ugly words in the front , If you don’t report it this time, if this commander finds out, you will know the consequences.” When Sun Chengzong said this, his eyes swept over everyone, and his eyes suddenly became very serious.

Everyone present looked at each other, their eyes were full of doubts, and finally everyone's eyes fell on He Shixian.In this Shenyang city, the most powerful person may be Yang Yuan, but when it comes to the most trusted by soldiers, that is He Shixian, the guard of Shenyang city.

But to everyone's disappointment, this general, who is always very impulsive on weekdays, now has a serious expression on his face.Sitting there, motionless, as if listening to teachings.

Seemingly feeling that the heat was almost ready, Sun Chengzong waved his hand and said lightly: "Go! Everyone go back! I'll give you three days to hand in the paperwork!"

"Yes, Commander!" Everyone clasped their fists and walked out slowly, but before the first person stepped out, Sun Chengzong said again, "There is one thing that the commander-in-chief forgot. Shuai said one thing. From now on, your military salary will not go to the household department, and your majesty will directly intervene, and the internal money will go directly to the front of the army!"

Although Sun Chengzong didn't speak much, and his tone was very casual, but to the ears of those generals, it was like thunder from nine heavens.The imperial court pays a lot of military salaries every year, but very few of them get into the hands of the soldiers below, and they are swallowed privately every time.Layers of corruption, layers of annexation, in the hands of soldiers, basically disappeared.

As for the direct distribution of domestic funds to the army, this has not happened for many years. Emperor Wanli has not been in court for many years, and all military expenditures have been transferred to the Department of Accounts.The money in the inner treasury, unless the Lord Wanli was forced to do so, it belonged to the iron rooster.

Ignoring the dazed generals, Sun Chengzong left leisurely with his hands behind his back, but there was always a smile on the corner of his mouth, which had an unfathomable taste.

When Sun Chengzong's back disappeared, the generals standing at the door realized it and looked at each other in dismay.Excitement, confusion and doubt are written on everyone's face, very complicated expressions, very complicated emotions!

"General, is what the commander-in-chief said true? Why does the general feel a little unreliable?" A general whispered in He Shixian's ear, his eyes kept rolling, and the look of doubt in his eyes was very strong strong.

Glancing at the general who was talking, he stretched out his hand and smacked his helmet. He Shixian scolded, "Who do you think you are? Do you know who this general is? That's the teacher of the current emperor." , the cabinet’s Chief Assistant University Bachelor, official plus Taibao, imperial envoy holding Shangfang’s sword. Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of being deceived? Let me tell you, even if this commander cuts you off, he doesn’t need to discuss it with anyone. Still lying to you? Are you really using yourself as an onion?"

"Yes, yes, the general has great insight, what's that called? Yes, it's so insightful, I'm so ashamed!" The general immediately changed his face, looked at He Shixian enviously, and didn't even blush when he flattered him.He also deliberately used two Wen Zou Zou words, but the words were awkward.

Glancing at the general, He Shixian just kicked him, neither smiling nor angry, his expression was complicated.

Glancing at the subordinates around him, He Shixian sighed softly, and said in a deep voice: "For so many years, the frontier army has been suffering. This general sees it in his heart, but there is nothing he can do. We can't control the affairs of the Yang family. We can't control things, let alone the affairs of the imperial court. Finally, Xiong Jinglue was caught by the Yang family and sent to prison. I thought there was no hope, but I didn't expect the imperial court to send such a general. Come, we will enjoy the blessing this time. Your Majesty is wise!"

I sighed for the wiseness of the emperor, and talked about the commander-in-chief together. Although there was no way to establish prestige, these people were quite in awe of Sun Chengzong.

After a while, He Shixian coughed, and said to his subordinates: "I didn't bother to care about you before, but this time is different. This is an opportunity, a chance to fight for a future. Remember it for me, go back and take care of yourself." Purge your soldiers and give me a good training. This time, the commander-in-chief will report to me truthfully. If anyone dares to deceive the commander-in-chief, I will kill him first without the commander-in-chief. ?"

"Yes, General!" Everyone's expressions became serious, and they replied loudly to He Shixian, the loudest voice was the general who had just been kicked by He Shixian, which shocked He Shixian.

Angrily glanced at the general, He Shixian kicked him, and said loudly: "Wang Lao Wu, you are courting death!"
