I am the carpenter king

Chapter 191 Cavalry

() Lying quietly on the chair, gently rubbing his swollen forehead, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but wry smile.Slowly sitting up straight, looking at He Shixian who was full of eagerness, Sun Chengzong sighed softly again, and said helplessly: "General He, what you said is really not good, there is no such rule, besides This is not the time either!"

"Marshal, the emperor promised to give us 500 million taels of military expenses. The Jinyiwei raided the homes of those collaborators and traitors, and the silver alone is more than 300 million taels. You make a book and keep all the money and things, that's enough !" He Shixian still didn't give up, and said expectantly.

Shaking his head slowly, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "General He, the case is not over yet, and the money cannot be moved. Let's not talk about this, let me ask you, how is the horse you prepared?"

"Back to Commander-in-Chief, I counted the horses captured last time and the horses selected in the army, and I can form a cavalry of [-] yuan. However, I can only ride alone, and I don't have the ability to run long distances. , but if you train strictly, there should be no problem in fighting!" Seeing that Sun Chengzong didn't want to talk anymore, He Shixian had no choice but to change the subject, not daring to be sloppy at all.

Nodding in satisfaction, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "It is enough to enter a single cavalry. Now it is unrealistic to build a powerful cavalry. It is already very good to have such a scale. By the way, let you Have you found the horse dealer you were looking for?"

"Going back to Dajin, I found them. They are some caravans in the Northwest, and they are willing to do anything as long as they have money. I have asked about it. They have good Mongolian horses, and they are all shipped from Mongolia." He Shixian was quite Excitedly said, he has always wanted to have such a cavalry.

Nodding his head slowly, Sun Chengzong said with some doubts: "How about the price and quantity? If it's too little or the price is too little, it's not worth it!"

"Bizhi found the largest caravan in Northwest China. These people are not so much caravans as they are bandits traveling on the border. Their leader seems to be a guy named Ma Liang, who is very vicious and cunning. He sent a message to Beizhi, as long as If you have money, nothing is a problem. The price he gave to the humble officer was 30 taels, of course they are all high-quality horses. If they can guarantee that the frontier soldiers will not embarrass them, they can traffic 30 good horses at a time." Careful Looking at Sun Chengzong, He Shixian said in a low voice, he also knows that [-] taels is really not cheap, but this horse is not good and it cannot be used!

After pondering for a while, Sun Chengzong frowned and said in a low voice: "Ten thousand horses are 30 taels. A cavalry needs about 20 taels of equipment, and 20 yuan is 50 taels. It doesn't count as feeding horses, food and salaries. It takes 500 taels to pull up such a team. This is not an ordinary high cost! Of the 200 million taels given by the emperor, only 300 million taels can be allocated to the cavalry, and the other [-] million taels are It is prepared for the navy. In this way, [-] cavalry can be recruited, and the salaries of the cavalry and the navy will also be paid out of this money. This money is not plentiful no matter what!”

"Marshal, why don't you ask for some from the emperor?" Looking at Sun Chengzong, He Shixian asked cautiously.

Looking at He Shixian angrily and amusedly, Sun Chengzong said helplessly: "You have to know, the 500 million taels this time are money from the emperor's internal treasury, the money from the emperor's private house. From now on, the cavalry and sailors will be paid every year. It’s all from His Majesty’s internal treasury. This is a huge sum of money. Now the old man is worried about how His Majesty will solve this problem. The old man knows that if the old man asks, the emperor will definitely give it to him, even if he sells the iron. But as a subject , I really can’t do that, I can’t share the emperor’s worries, I’m already very guilty! If I’m causing trouble for the emperor, I’m really ashamed. General He, remember, as a courtier, you must have the consciousness of being a courtier! "

Standing up slowly, he gave a salute to Sun Chengzong, and then said with emotion: "Marshal, I have seen many officials in such a humble position during the Chinese New Year, those who are capable, those who are incompetent, those who are clean, those who are corrupt, those who are humble I've seen them all. Although the time with the commander in chief is very short, the humble officer admires the commander in every way. The commander's loyalty to the emperor and Daming is really rare in the world!"

Gently helping He Shixian up, Sun Chengzong said with emotion: "My life has been rough and I have experienced a lot, and I know the sufferings of the people very well. This day can't go on like this, and Daming can't go on like this. After seeing the emperor At that moment, the old man knew that this world would definitely not continue like this. In order to assist the emperor and change this world, this old man will never regret it even if he dies!"

"Marshal, I am willing to be the marshal's pawn and defend the marshal!" Looking at Sun Chengzong quite moved, He Shixian said quite seriously.

Gently patted He Shixian on the shoulder, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "General He is in love!"

"Marshal, there are people outside asking to see you!" Just as the two people were laughing, a soldier walked in quickly, saluted Sun Chengzong, and said respectfully.

"What?" Sun Chengzong asked casually after straightening his face.

Facing Sun Chengzong, the man clasped his fists, and said loudly: "Commander Hui, it's Jin Yiwei, he said he's an acquaintance of Jin Yiwei, his name is Xu Xianchun!"

Wei Wei was taken aback, what did Xu Xianchun ask him to do?Could it be that he came to catch it so soon?After pondering for a while, Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice, "Let him in!"

"Marshal, should I say goodbye first?" He Shixian frowned slightly when he heard that it was Xu Xianchun, then saluted Sun Chengzong, and said hesitantly.

Gently shaking his head, Sun Chengzong smiled wryly and said: "As the saying goes, you can go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do. This Jinyiwei Tongzhi is not a simple character. This visit must have something to do with the affairs of the army. General He still stays. Come on! Listen and see what's going on."

"Okay, it's better to be obedient than to be respectful!" He Shixian nodded slowly, and sat back slowly.

Not long after, footsteps sounded outside, following the sound of footsteps Xu Xianchun walked in under the leadership of an officer.Seeing that there were two people in the room, Xu Xianchun was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I will see Marshal Sun!" After Sun Chengzong asked him to excuse him, he turned his eyes to He Shixian, who was on the side, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that!" General He is here too! General He, this is Ying Wuyi 1rio!"

"Thank you Xu Daru for the compliment, He is ashamed to be an o!" Although He Shixian knew that Lu Lin was not wronged, he never had a good impression of Xu Xianchun.He's not the kind of guy who would cover up his emotions, so he's not very polite when he says it!

He didn't care about He Shixian's attitude at all, and smiled calmly. Xu Xianchun sat opposite to He Shixian, smiled at Sun Chengzong and said: "Commander, I don't want to go to the Three Treasure Hall if I have nothing to do. This time, I have something to ask the commander. Hope you can help me!"

Nodding his head slowly, Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice: "Xu Daru, if you have anything to say, just say it, I will try my best to do it if I can do it!"

Looking around, Xu Xianchun said quite seriously: "Marshal, is it convenient to talk here? The matter is of great importance, and I must be careful!"

"What? You don't want me to know? Commander, I'm resigning from my humble post!" Standing up suddenly, He Shixian flicked his sleeves and said coldly.

"General He misunderstood. This matter should have been known to General He. I am afraid that the wall here has ears!" Xu Xianchun said with a wry smile, holding He Shixian who was about to leave.

Looking at the two people, Sun Chengzong smiled and said: "Don't worry, Xu Daru, this is the place where the old man discusses the military situation on weekdays, and the emperor's imperial guards are all around, so it's very safe!" After finishing speaking, he turned his gaze to He Shixian , said loudly: "You come back to me, really, as the commander-in-chief of Shenyang City, you are not stable at all."

"Yes, Commander, humble and reckless!" After saluting Sun Chengzong, He Shixian sat back again.

The three people did well again, Sun Chengzong smiled and said to Xu Xianchun: "Xu Daru, what do you have to say now!"

"Sun Dajin, I have been ordered to investigate the case of collaborating with the enemy in Liaodong. Since the emperor entrusted me with this matter, I must handle it well. This is the duty of a minister. There is nothing to say. Since arriving in Liaodong, the subordinate officials have worked hard to handle the case, and dare not slack off in the slightest, and the case has already come to an end." Looking at Sun Chengzong, Xu Xianchun frowned, and said in a low voice.

"This should be a good thing! Why does Xu Daru seem rather sad instead of happy? Is there any embarrassment?" Seeing Xu Xianchun's expression, Sun Chengzong asked worriedly.

Facing Sun Chengzong, Xu Xianchun smiled wryly and said: "Da Jin has been an official for many years, and he has also experienced ups and downs in the officialdom. I think he knows a lot about official affairs. The Liaodong incident seems to be the Liaodong incident, but after all In the land of Ming Dynasty, everything is inseparable from the court. The matter of smuggling and collaborating with the enemy is nothing new in Liaodong, and I believe that even General He has heard of it."

Looking at He Shixian with a smile, seeing that he was silent, Xu Xianchun continued: "But for so many years, this matter has never been mentioned in the court, and it has never been mentioned in the court. Even if you check it, it will be painless. Make these people even more unscrupulous. This time, I will bump into this wall, and even if I really forget about it, I will not regret it."

"Xu Daru, I don't know if you are looking for this old man, what can I do for you?" Sun Chengzong asked seriously after glancing at Xu Xianchun.

"The key to this case is Lu Lin. Among the arrested people, only he knows who the people above are! Some people have already approached the lower officials today. When they know that the lower officials will not do what they say , I am afraid that they will do something that will catch people off guard. I hope that General He can send a pair of elite soldiers to station outside the humble Yamen, in case of accidents!" Looking at Sun Chengzong's second entry, Xu Xianchun's face Se said quite seriously.
