Chapter 251 Insatiable! (Here he comes!)
"Shut the hell up!"
Chen Changyou groaned, then looked around at everyone like a hawk looking at a wolf.
"You are all blind. Haven't you read the outline? You didn't even read such an important document, so you just came here to fool me!
The outline says that the army will be reduced, but military expenditures will not be reduced. Don’t you know about such an important thing?"
Everyone looked at each other, but a commander said: "Chen Shuai, you are right to say so. Although it is true that military expenditures will not be reduced, the problem now is that the soldiers of Lin'an Commercial Bank will not be satisfied with what they are doing now.
They are now clamoring to say that they want to retire and join the factory, so won’t we have no one under our command?”
Chen Changyou stared at him fiercely and said: "Didn't I say that the military expenditure will not be reduced? The military expenditure that was originally divided between two people can now be given to one person, who is willing to leave!"
The commander smiled bitterly and said: "Chen Shuai, the Lin'an Commercial Bank gives you nearly fifty guan a year. The big soldiers only get ten guan every year. Now even if they are given ten more guan, they are not willing to do so.
But what about the thirty-pound gap?
Well, even if they are willing to pay twenty dollars to stay, that person will be laid off after all, and we will have fewer people on hand..."
At this point, he noticed that Chen Changyou's eyes were gradually becoming murderous and he quickly closed his mouth.
Chen Changyou looked at the commanders present with a gloomy face: "You think so too, don't you?"
The commanders all avoided his eyes.
Chen Changyou snorted coldly and said: "You still plan to give them only twenty guans?
The imperial court's annual expenditure for each soldier was almost 70 guan. Excluding the 20 guan for fixed clothes, shoes, socks, and weapons, there was at least 50 guan that could be converted into copper coins.
You only gave the soldiers ten guan. Now that the number has been reduced by half, and the military expenditure is nearly 140 guan, you plan to only give them 20 guan? Are you being greedy?"
The commander was not very convinced and said: "Chen Shuai, everyone knows where this money is going!
Seventy guan of money, the weapons, uniforms, shoes, socks, food, and food of the big-headed soldiers are all fixed expenditures, and then they are given ten guan.
How much can we get out of the remaining 40 guan?
Awesome ten thousand dollars!
We have never asked where the remaining thirty guan went."
When Chen Changyou heard this, he became very angry and said angrily: "Why! You are still reasonable now, aren't you?
Although some of this money was taken from the higher-ups, wasn't the money from the military's business also shared with you?
Why, everyone’s appetite has grown up, and now you can’t satisfy these things, right?
Is the disarmament something I want to do? If you are not convinced, go to Di Shuai or Mr. Zhang!"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Chen Yanzhe quickly stood up to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, now that the matter has reached this point, there is no room for recovery. Let's discuss how to keep the person here.
When encountering this kind of thing, everyone has no choice. Sometimes we can only suffer a little loss, but there is definitely no such thing as no loss at all. There may be other opportunities in the future..."
Chen Yan tried his best to smooth things over, but the conductor said quietly: "It's not that there is no room for recovery. It just depends on whether everyone is willing to give it a try."
Everyone looked at the commander.
Chen Changyou suddenly felt something was wrong.
The commander laughed and said: "Let's make a fuss. Mr. Zhang actually used businessmen to force us, so let's scare him. He looks like a white-faced scholar. I guess he will become obedient after being scared..."
"Rudang, do you know what you are talking about?"
Chen Changyou stared at the commander named Lu Dang with a gloomy face.
Lu Dang chuckled and said: "Chen Shuai, you are a fastidious person from the capital. This matter has nothing to do with you. You should just pretend that you don't know about it. If things don't work out, how dare he still kill people?"
But if it succeeds, you will take your share, oh, yes, in order to appease us, the court will have to give us a heavy reward, so Chen Shuai, you will still take the big share."
Lu Dang looked at the others and said: "Why, can we all tolerate those businessmen coming to shit on us? What I mean is that we will kill them on the spot, and then surround the rabbit husband. Look,
Does he dare to disarm?
Haha, there are also those big-headed soldiers. Now I don’t know who has the final say in this army. Everyone in their respective camps beheaded the ones who danced the most happily to see who dares to make trouble. Damn it.
, rebelled against them!”
Everyone was suddenly moved.
They have done a lot of things like forced uterus, and it has almost become a tradition.
If the military budget is low, there will be riots;
If the military budget is low, there will be riots;
If you train too much, you will riot;
The garrison has been going on for a long time, and there is going to be a riot...
Anyway, as long as there is something unsatisfactory, there will be a riot. Of course, most of the time it is just a bluff, but there are also times when the court is unwilling to compromise, and it may cause a bigger fuss.
But most of the time, the imperial court has a mentality of doing less than doing more, and will symbolically deal with the civil servants who caused the mutiny, and then reward the military heavily to appease the army, and then the matter is over.
When Chen Changyou saw the situation at the scene, he suddenly felt worried. This time it was not other officials. This time it was Di Qing, the representative of the Sanyamen, and the Deputy Privy Envoy of the Privy Council. In the past, they were some economic and strategic envoys who also held other positions.
And so on, the properties are different.
The Sanyamen are the direct leadership body of the army, and the Privy Council is the true highest authority of the army. If they really dare to force these two men to go to the palace, things will really get into trouble.
Chen Changyou didn't know anything else, but if this happened, his old boss in Sanya would definitely blame him for having such poor control over the army, and I'm afraid he would never be able to get ahead in the future.
The most worrying thing is that Zhang Heng is a man who will retaliate. Even if he is forced to stop disarmament at this time, what will happen next?
Chen Changyou thought of the Jiangnan case and the Haizhou case. He didn't think he could be more capable than those officials in the sky and could withstand Zhang Heng's revenge.
However, the situation in the tent was fierce, and Chen Changyou felt that he could no longer control the situation.
"Lu Dang, please don't mess around. I'm telling you, this Mr. Zhang is not a good person..."
Chen Changyou tried to stop Lu Dang and the others from their adventure, but it failed to directly arouse the ferocity of the commanders present. Lu Dang laughed and shouted: "Brothers, it is better to hit the sun than to choose a day, let's take advantage of the dark night and high wind.
At that time, we directly killed the profiteers of Lin'an Trading Company, and then went to discuss it with Mr. Rabbit!"
"Haha! Have fun! Take a walk, go back and gather the troops! Kill his mother and have fun!"
"Haha, let's go together and kill her. I'm telling you, I'm jealous of that slutty woman. Those big breasts are my favorite. Don't compete with me or hurt her! If you want to have a taste, you have to line up behind me!"
"Fart! Why does it become yours? Whoever grabs it first will own it. If you are not convinced, use a knife or a gun to reason!"
"..."
Chen Changyou was so anxious that he shouted repeatedly, but no one listened to him anymore. The commanders rushed out one after another, and Chen Changyou jumped in fear.
Chen Yanzhu was also very anxious, but he pulled Chen Changyou.
Chen Changyou said anxiously: "Why are you holding me back? I have to go tell Xianggong Zhang and tell them to run away!"
Chen Yan whispered: "Chen Shuai, your life is important, don't let these bastards kill us too! Usually they are not convinced by us."
Chen Yanzhu's words were like a ladle of cold water poured on his head, making him shiver immediately. His teeth chattered for a moment, making a "clack" sound, and then he immediately made a decision: "Yes, we Hide first and let the soldiers escort us out of the camp!"
——
Zhang Heng had been busy all day, and by this time he was already a little sleepy. He planned to soak his feet in a basin of hot water and prepare for bed, but he didn't expect Lu Yining to come over.
Zhang Heng smiled and said, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Lu Yining flipped his hair, but instead of being charming, he looked very heroic - no way, he couldn't be charming with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, even with two big car lights on his head, it was useless, instead he looked trembling, especially Full of arrogance.
"There are too many things going on during the day. I'm so busy that my head is numb. I'm too tired and I can't sleep. I'm here to chat with you and relax."
Lu Yining said this.
Zhang Heng suddenly complained in his heart, as if he had come to my place for a foot massage.
Thinking of this, Zhang Heng looked at the footbath he was holding, and immediately spat secretly, quickly put the footbath down, and then asked Lu Yining to sit down. It was not easy to drink tea at night, so Zhang Heng poured it for him. After a cup of milk tea, which is common in the northwest region, the two chatted while drinking the warm milk tea.
Lu Yining said he came here to talk and relax, but when it came to talking, it was actually about work, mainly things in Xiangzhou.
It's not that Zhang Heng doesn't pay attention to these things, he just pays attention to them on a regular basis. This matter can be regarded as just a casual chat.
The two chatted for a while, and suddenly there was movement outside.
A young man knocked on the door and came in: "My boss, there is something going on in the military camp. It looks unusual. The brothers have already gotten up. If there is any commotion later, just stay there and don't move."
The young man's name is Yan Shengshen, and he is the captain of the escort team sent by Tong Boding to protect Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng chuckled: "Cut off more heads, especially the leaders."
Yan Shengshen nodded solemnly and turned around.
Lu Yining was surprised: "What's going on?"
Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Don't worry, do you want to watch a big show?"
Lu Yining guessed something and said in surprise: "Is there a riot in the army?"
Zhang Heng nodded and said: "I'm used to being greedy, and I don't want to take any losses. In this case, I can use their heads to establish power. Haha, the Western Army is afraid of Han Qi because Han Qi likes to kill people. Could it be that I can’t kill people in my true form?”
As he was talking, footsteps could be heard outside, and gradually became more orderly amidst the sounds of orders.
After a while, Di Qing heard this and was so surprised that he rushed over. As soon as he came in, he asked: "Mr. Zhang, what happened!"
Zhang Heng said with a smile: "Shuai Di, let's go and see the excitement!"
Di Qinghe and others had already guessed what was going on, and were immediately worried: "Xiang Zhang, you go first, and the general will stop them. After all, the general is also from the Western Army, and they don't dare to do anything to me!"
Zhang Heng shook his head and said, "Get out."
Zhang Heng walked out of the room and Yan Shengshen ran over.
Zhang Heng said: "Take down the watchtower. Commander Di and I will go up there to see how you defend yourself against the enemy."
Yan Shengshen whispered: "My boss, this matter is a bit dangerous. Once you get to the tower, it will be difficult to leave."
Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Why, you don't have the confidence to defend yourself against the enemy?"
Yan Shengshen's expression became solemn: "Of course I have confidence, you are just a chicken and a dog, but you are a rich man, so there is no need to take risks."
Zhang Heng waved his hand and said: "Stop talking nonsense and seize the tower."
Yan Shengshen immediately turned around, waved his hand, made a few gestures to somewhere, then turned around and said to Zhang Heng, "Wait a moment."
Zhang Heng nodded slightly.
Di Qing frowned and looked silent.
After less than a cup of tea, someone signaled this way. Yan Shengshen immediately turned around and said, "Master, please follow me."
Yan Shengshen led the way, Zhang Heng, Di Qing and Lu Yining followed behind. They met Zhang Mazi and others on the road. Zhang Heng asked them to follow them together. When they arrived at the foot of the watchtower, Zhang Heng took Di Qing and Lu Yining to climb the tower, and the rest were under the tower.
waiting.
After climbing up to the watchtower and taking in the panoramic view of the mountains, Zhang Heng nodded with satisfaction: "It's a good place to watch a show, but it's a pity that there are no melon seeds."
Di Qing looked at the military camp and saw the stray torches on the street in the distance, and then said solemnly: "Mr. Zhang, the matter is very critical. There are at least five or six thousand people coming. You can only bring about 300 people with you. No.
Maybe we can withstand it, so let’s run away quickly.”
Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Shuai Di, you have followed us all the way. What do you think of my soldiers?"
Di Qing said: "The best among the best, three hundred people are all one man and two horses. Their sabers, spears, bows and arrows are all of high quality. Although they have no armor, they are all capable soldiers.
But Zhang Xiang, they may be able to fight one against ten, but facing a gap of twenty times, it is still insurmountable.
It just so happens that they are all cavalry, protecting you as you rush out, so there will be no danger tonight, and we can talk about the rest later."
Zhang Heng smiled and shook his head: "Shuai Di, let your soldiers protect the bottom of the tower. My troops are about to be dispatched."
Zhang Heng blew a whistle, and after a while, three hundred cavalry divided into three teams and went in three directions.
Di Qing was surprised and said: "Three hundred cavalry, you still divide them into three groups?"
Zhang Heng said with a smile: "I'm afraid they will run away, so I have to catch them all."
Di Qing was speechless for a moment. There were five or six thousand people on the other side, but he only had three hundred on his side, but he wanted to catch them all. This was because he was suffering from hysteria.
Zhang Heng secretly observed Di Qing's expression, but he felt secretly happy, thinking that he might have to put on a big show tonight. Showing off his skills in front of a famous general like Di Qing felt like playing a big sword in front of Guan Gong.
Di Qing had no time to talk to Zhang Heng, but stared closely at the rapidly advancing torch.
The fire coming from a distance was bright and slow, while the three fires starting from the bottom of the tower were dim but very fast. One was in the middle, and the two were advancing on both sides. Looking at it, it seemed to really surround the huge fire.
Zhang Heng chuckled and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Our army's 300-strong squad surrounded 6,000 enemy troops. Instead of surrendering, the enemy army dared to fight back at me..."
Di Qing was surprised: "What?"
Zhang Heng turned back and grinned: "Nothing, Commander Di, what does the most elite soldier you have ever seen look like?"
Di Qing frowned and thought for a moment and said: "When we fought with Li Yuanhao before, there was a heavy cavalry called Iron Kites. They were probably the most terrifying cavalry the general has ever seen. Once they charge, it will be difficult for thousands of troops to stop..."
Zhang Heng pointed to three dim fires and said: "You will see cavalry tonight that are more terrifying than iron kites."
Di Qing laughed and shook his head when he heard this: "Your soldiers don't even have armor, and the most elite soldiers are all from the dead. Those of your soldiers have probably never seen blood, right?
Zhang Xiang, the training of soldiers is different from that of scholars. Scholars can rely on themselves to study, but a capable soldier must crawl out of the dead."
Zhang Heng smiled and said: "You are right, but my soldiers are still a little different. Just take a look."
As he spoke, three dim flames gradually approached the huge ball of light, and Di Qing's heart immediately tightened.
