The Red Mansions

Chapter 731 Jia Heng: Hanging the head at the gate, causing the army to take warning!

Yamen of Yangzhou Salt Court
Among the official halls of the Yanyuan Yamen, there are five main halls, the doors and windows are wide open, and the slightly gloomy light in the early morning shines in the halls.

Two rows of black wooden chairs sat facing each other, with Qi Kun and Lin Ruhai on the left, and Yangzhou salt merchant and Yangzhou prefect Yuan Jichong on the right.

Because the salt merchant Wang Shouqi had already gone to Jinling, and Bao Zuhui and Huang Cheng were kidnapped and escaped by Cheng Peili, only Jiang Tong, Huang Rishan, and Xiao Hongsheng were present at the moment, sitting together with Qi Kun and Lin Ruhai, looking anxious.

At this moment, on the streets and alleys of Yangzhou, there are cavalry troops from the capital of Henan galloping to and fro. Compared with the previous Jinyi Ti cavalry, Dasuo's whole city, the momentum is three points more chilling.

If you add that Cheng Peili, a well-known salt merchant in Yangzhou city, lived in a manor that was confiscated by Jinyi officers and soldiers, the frightening atmosphere of "white terror" almost overwhelmed all the salt merchants.

Liu Shengzao frowned, looked at Qi Daxue, who was wearing a scarlet robe official uniform and a black black gauze official hat, and asked, "Old Qi Ge, didn't Yongning Bo go to Jinling, why did he go back to Yangzhou again? He also sent troops to fill his eyes." The arrests on the street are making people panic again."

As he said that, he turned his eyes to Yuan Jichong and said, "Master Yuan, do you ever know the reason?"

Yuan Jichong, the magistrate of Yangzhou, said: "The magistrate's yamen has sent soldiers to assist with all their strength to appease the people in the city, but we don't know the specifics of the case, and we don't know how to inform the people in the city."

Qi Kun looked indifferently, looked at the two people who were singing together, and said: "Isn't Jinyi the one who reported earlier that there was something to say, yesterday the fugitives from the Ma family came to rob the prison, and it happened that the soldiers and horses from Henan went to Yangzhou to wipe out the remnants of the Ma family?"

Liu Shengzao seemed to pretend to be puzzled, and asked, "The Ma family robbed the prison? Why did you send troops from Henan?"

After waves of inquiry in the early morning, Liu Shengzao and the Yangzhou salt merchants knew that it was the elite cavalry army of Henan Dusi who were enforcing the martial law and hunting missions.

"I have to ask Uncle Yongning about this. He is now taking over the Jiangbei camp, taking charge of military affairs, and transferring the soldiers from the Central Plains to Jianghuai. I think he has his own considerations." Qi Kun picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said calmly.

Glancing at the earth-colored Yangzhou salt merchants and even Liu Shengzao, Qi Kun felt cold in his heart. If he knew this before, why bother?
If they cooperate well, why bother to invite Jin Yi from the imperial court to intervene?
In Yangzhou like a quagmire for more than half a year, a fire in the Department of Salt Transport burned all the documents and books, and even slapped the cabinet minister in the face. Today is also a chance to vent his anger.

Lin Ruhai stared at Liu Shengzao whose expression was changing, and said in a deep thought: "Lord Liu, please be safe, the Salt Academy has sent a clerk to invite Uncle Yongning."

Between the drooping eyes, his heart was a little unsettled, and thoughts appeared on his elegant face.

Didn't Ziyu go to Jinling with Yu'er, why did he quietly return to Yangzhou alone?What will Yu'er do in Jinling?
For the time being, Jiang Tong suppressed his doubts and fears, and asked Huang Rishan, "Why haven't Mr. Bao and Brother Huang come here yet? It's almost time."

The salt merchants present have also been friends for 20 years. Bao Zuhui and Huang Cheng are not here, which is somewhat unusual.

As soon as these words came out, Huang Rishan also frowned, and seemed to be puzzled and said: "Before I came, I sent someone to inform me, but I don't know why, but I haven't come here yet. It is said that such a big event happened in Yangzhou..."

Xiao Hongsheng frowned, a thought welled up in his heart, and he faintly felt that the situation might not be good.

Liu Shengzao sneered, seized the opportunity, and said sarcastically: "Don't be accused of colluding with the Eastern captives again, and have already been caught in prison by Jinyi Mansion and tortured."

Jiang Tong, Huang Rishan, Xiao Hongsheng: "..."

Lin Ruhai's face was gloomy, and he continued, "What does Master Liu mean by this? Master Liu was also a witness to Donglu's assassination earlier, and then Donglu's assassin confessed that the Ma family colluded with Donglu. Beating into a trick?"

"The assassination is true, but there is no evidence that the Ma family colluded with the Eastern Captives." Liu Shengzao sneered and said sarcastically.

"The Ma family has relevant witnesses to confess." Lin Ruhai looked cold and said in a low voice: "If Mr. Liu is not convinced, he can wait for Yongning Bo to come and question him face to face. How can a gentleman not speak like this in person and make irresponsible remarks behind his back? for?"

When Liu Shengzao heard the words, he was about to open his mouth to argue again.

Suddenly, at this moment, only the scribe outside came into the hall and said loudly: "Lord Lin, Uncle Yongning is here."

When everyone in the official hall heard this, their hearts trembled slightly, and they got up one after another, and went out to greet them, even Liu Shengzao closed their mouths, and followed the crowd to greet them with a gloomy expression.

Just bypassing the tall shadow wall, I saw a large number of guards in brocade clothes wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives from the gate of Yanyuan, passing through Yimen from the gate of Yanyuan, guarding against both sides. Facing discharge a channel.

A large number of generals and lieutenants in brocade clothes, surrounded by a tall young man in a python suit with a black crown, held his sword in one hand and strode forward. On the left was a handsome face of a thousand households in brocade clothes.

The salt merchants present, Qi Kun, Lin Ruhai, and Liu Shengzao looked at the young man who looked forward to his own strength, walked up to him, stood still, and felt timid.

Jia Heng stared at the panic-stricken salt merchants, his eyes fell on the faces of Qi Kun and Lin Ruhai, and said in a deep voice: "You two lords, Qi Lin, just last night, Ma Xianjun's son Ma Zesheng led pirates into the city of Yangzhou, He wanted to hijack his father Ma Xianjun and escape, so he sent soldiers and horses to arrest Ma Xianjun's son, and it was Ma's in-law Cheng Peili, the head of the Ma family, Cheng Peili who brought Ma Xianjun's son into Yangzhou City. He is a general merchant of the salt industry, and the officers and soldiers are setting up a net to hunt down the real culprit."

Hearing this, several salt merchants looked at each other in blank dismay.

All of a sudden, Ma, Cheng, Bao, Huang, and the four major general merchants are involved. Isn't it true that half of the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou are among them?
After all, Liu Shengzao was a third-rank official, his eyes flashed coldly, and he asked the question that the three salt merchants wanted to ask but dared not ask, and said, "The Cheng family, Bao family, and Huang family have all colluded?"

"Liu Yunshi, I didn't say that." Jia Heng stared at Liu Shengzao all of a sudden, his wolf-like gaze almost startled the latter, and said: "According to Ma Zesheng's confession, the Cheng family took care of Ma Zesheng, Helping in the prison robbery is an accomplice! The evidence for this matter is solid, and the relevant criminals have already testified it. As for Bao and Huang, why are they in the Cheng family?

Qi Kun glanced at Liu Shengzao, and asked, "Lord Jia, just now Master Liu asked that the soldiers and horses of the Jiangbei Camp can search for relevant criminals. Why did the soldiers and horses from the Henan Capital Division come to Yangzhou?"

Jia Heng looked at Liu Shengzao, inspected his eyes, and said, "Did Liu Yun ask?"

Liu Shengzao looked unnatural, and asked: "There are soldiers and horses in the Jiangbei camp. I don't know why Mr. Jia sent soldiers and horses from Henan. It took such a lot of trouble, and the officials were suspicious."

Jia Heng's face turned cold, and he scolded: "This is the military affairs, the cabinet can still ask one or two questions, you are a small salt transport envoy, you are only a third-rank, and you dare to inquire about it?"

Hearing this, Liu Shengzao's complexion suddenly changed, and a sense of humiliation gradually surged in his heart. Under the staring eyes, he cupped his hands and said, "Your official...Your official is presumptuous."

Seeing this scene, Yuan Jichong, the magistrate of Yangzhou, and several salt merchants looked at each other with fear beyond words.

In other words, Jia Heng's kind words before almost made these salt merchants and Liu Shengzao forget that this is not only a soldier in charge of martial arts, but also a military minister who goes in and out of the temple and assists the king's important minister.

What grade?Dare to ask me about military affairs?

And Liu Shengzao was reprimanded as a subordinate, almost disgraced.

Chen Ling glanced at the stern-tongued young man, well, this man is well versed in the way of foxes and tigers, and it's really hard to associate him with the young man who was bouncing up and down while hugging Princess Chu.

Chen Ling's gaze was a little condensed, and he felt annoyed.

However, she remembered some things that were not human beings before. These days, every time she thinks about it, she has to rinse her mouth many times.

Jia Heng turned to look at Qi Kun, and Qi Kun explained: "Since I was stationed in Yangzhou, the captives have sneaked into Yangzhou City one after another, making waves and disturbing Li Shu, but the relevant generals and soldiers of the Jiangbei Camp could not investigate early and take precautions in advance. Therefore, I have long intended to straighten out the camp affairs, and now I have dispatched cavalry troops from the capital of Henan to reorganize the military equipment in the north of the Yangtze River and build river defenses. Big prison!"

This is an explanation with Qi Kun, and it is also a little bit of doubt about the salt merchants. Don't panic, this is a technical adjustment.

As soon as this remark came out, the salt merchants present fell into a deathly silence.

Liu Shengzao's heart skipped a beat, and he could vaguely hear a malicious intention.

Is it really for these reasons to dispatch soldiers and horses in Henan?

"As for the matter of robbing the prison and colluding with the Eastern captives, the soldiers will hunt down the Cheng family and the criminals. After careful interrogation, the truth will come to light." Jia Heng said in a deep voice, looking at the three salt merchants Jiang, Huang, and Xiao, and holding the three Zhang Pale looked into his eyes, and said: "Speaking of which, it's not this time that Ma Xianjun and his son intercepted my Jinyi detective. Last year, Beijing Central Committee sent a detective to Jiangnan to handle important tasks, passing through Yangzhou, and Ma Xianjun and his son intercepted and killed me." , like those crazy and rebellious people, how can I tolerate them!"

"What Uncle Yongning said is true." Jiang Tong, Huang Rishan, and Xiao Hongsheng said hastily, their hearts were already covered with a thick layer of haze.

Lin Ruhai smoothed things over and said, "This is not a place to speak, let's all go to the official hall to talk."

Jia Heng nodded, stretched out his hand to invite and said: "Old Qi Ge, Master Lin, please."

In a word, it seemed to wake up all the merchants and officials present, staring at the boy in the python suit who entered the official hall with Qi Kun and Lin Ruhai under the guards of the Jinyi Mansion. That's good.

Jia Heng came to the official hall and sat down with Qi Kun and Lin Ruhai.

Qi Kun pondered for a moment, then asked: "Last night, why did the Ma family collude with the Cheng family?"

Jia Hengdao: "Ma Xianjun sneaked into the city successively by water, and hid in the manor where the Cheng family is located. He thought that the official was not in Yangzhou, and took the opportunity to plan to rob Ma Xianjun. It can be described as whimsical and wishful thinking!"

Qi Kun pondered for a moment, and asked a question that everyone cared about, saying: "Nowadays Yangzhou cavalry troops are everywhere, and people's hearts are uneasy. I don't know when it will return to normal?"

"Master Qi, don't worry, once Cheng Peili is found, the army can be withdrawn, and the daily life of the people in Yangzhou will not be affected." Jia Heng said, looking at Yuan Jichong, the magistrate of Yangzhou, and said: "Master Yuan, in the city of Yangzhou recently, soldiers The horses are mobilized frequently, and the Yangzhou government must do a good job of leading, so that no troubles can occur."

Yuan Jichong didn't dare to be negligent, he quickly got up and cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Yongning, the lower officials have sent three squads of yamen servants to receive the army to search and arrest, to ensure that there will be no chaos on the ground in Yangzhou."

Jia Heng turned to look at Qi Kun, and said: "This case shows that Jiangbei's defense is empty, and the two general salt merchants, Ru Ma and Cheng, actually smuggled with Donglu, hijacked the big prison, and hijacked the Jiangbei camp. Needs to be rectified."

Qi Kun nodded and said: "The soldiers in Jiangbei have been in peace for a long time, and in a prosperous place like Yangzhou, they have been affected by the prevailing fashion and the military discipline has been lax. It has a long history."

Jia Heng turned to look at the salt merchants, and said, "Don't worry, everyone. During my stay in Yangzhou, I will definitely go to the Jiangbei camp, and I will live up to the charitable act of donating military salaries."

When Jiang Tong, Huang Rishan, and Xiao Hongsheng heard the words, they could only laugh and say yes, and said in their hearts, you have already arrested the two families who donated your military pay.

On the contrary, Qi Kun asked in surprise: "Donate the military salary, I don't know what's going on?"

Jia Heng didn't hide anything, or he wanted to take this opportunity to bring up the matter, and said: "Master Wang heard that my officer supervised the army in Jiangbei, and the Jiangbei camp was short of soldiers and wages. Two are used as military funds."

Hearing this, Qi Kun felt a strange feeling in his heart. The money was collected so quickly that he wiped out two salt merchants with his backhand.

While talking at the Yamen of Yanyuan, a small school in Jinyi came in from the outside, entered the official hall, clasped his fists and said, "Commander, Cheng Peili and others have caught him."

As soon as this remark came out, it was as if a huge boulder had been smashed into the official hall, causing great waves.

Jiang Tong's eyes were fixed, and he thought to himself, "Old Cheng, did you catch him?"

Jia Heng asked: "Where are Bao Zuhui and Huang Cheng?"

"The general has been rescued and is now in the hundred households of Jinyi Mansion." Captain Jinyi replied.

Jia Heng looked at the people with different faces, and said: "You guys continue to discuss the salt affairs. I have something to do, so I won't accompany you."

He came here to put psychological pressure on these salt merchants to perform a show. I believe that it won't be long before someone will take the initiative to vote and take the opportunity to pry out the inside story of the case of the warehouse deficit.

Qi Kun and Lin Ruhai got up and sent Jia Heng away, came and left in a hurry, but in the yamen of Yangzhou Salt Court, the salt merchants and Liu Shengzao himself were all awe-inspiring.

On Jia Heng's side, under the retinue of a group of Jinyiti cavalry, he left the Yamen of Yangzhou Yanyuan, got on his horse, and headed towards Yangzhou Hundred Households.

Yangzhou Hundred Households Office
Jia Heng returned to the official hall. Liu Jixian and Qu Guang were already waiting in the official hall. When they saw Jia Heng coming, they stood up to greet him.

"Captain, Cheng Peili and his son were captured at the canal and the river mouth, and Bao Zuhui and Huang Cheng were also rescued. They are now being questioned in the experience room," Liu Jixian said.

Cheng Peili had no idea that this time it was the officers and soldiers of Henan Capital Division who were arrested this time. Under the guidance of Jin Yi Tiqi, they were chasing along the waterway and coast while riding a boat.

Jia Heng said: "Take them into custody and torture them severely, asking what is the convenience given to them by the school. Dig deep, and arrest those who should be arrested immediately."

Liu Jixian responded.

Shang Ming approached, cupped his hands and said, "Captain, Hu Gui from Jiangbei Camp last night had already confessed, and received 10 taels of silver from the Cheng family, and Huang Xian and others took 15 taels. One of the guards of the canal The guerrilla general received 5 taels in exchange for the convenience of the Jiangbei battalion general."

Because this is not only money for the road, but also money for life, the Cheng family and the Ma family can say the whole thing.

Jia Heng said: "Gather up the relevant confessions, and later escort a few people to the Jiangbei camp. I want to march!"

As he said that, he looked at Qu Guang who was waiting quietly, and said in a deep voice: "General Qu, send someone to take back the captured soldiers, and I will go to Jiangbei Camp with me later."

Now that all the Cheng family criminals have been arrested, all the soldiers and horses can be dispatched back. They can go to the Jiangbei camp to rectify the soldiers and horses, and deal with the results of the previous mobilization.

Qu Guang handed over should be.

Jiangbei Camp, near noon, Jiangbei Camp has taken over the internal and external defense for a large number of cavalry troops from Henan Dusi, and has entered some empty barracks.

This is a camp that can accommodate 3 people, but because the number of troops is less than nearly [-], there is just enough space for Henan troops to station, and there is no need to set up camp.

At this moment, under Jia Heng's military order, besides Shui Yu, a large number of generals and schools including the Commander of the Four Guards, Commander Tongzhi, Qian Shi, and Guerrilla Generals gathered in the barracks of the Chinese Army.

It's just that these generals who spent a lot of money in Yangzhou brothels in the past, shouting and hugging, are now like eggplants beaten by frost, sluggish.

As time passed, the "disconnection" of Jiedu Judge Huang Xian, Marching Sima Zhou Bi and others, and a large number of Henan Du Si cavalry stationed in the Jiangbei Camp, made these potbellied generals realize that a mountain rain is coming the taste of.

In the Chinese army barracks composed of five tile-roofed houses and two Baosha, Wu Ming, the commander of the left guard, looked at his colleagues and asked, "Brothers, there are soldiers and horses from Henan Dusi outside. Is this Yongning Bo What to do?"

"Old Wu, do you even need to ask? He dispatched troops from Henan and made it clear that he doesn't believe us." Shi Wenzhong, commander of the right guard, sneered, his eyes serious.

The faces of the other ten or so generals were also serious, their minds were probably covered by a shadow, and they couldn't help but think of the matter of checking the vacancies in the platoons and checking the military registers the day before yesterday.

Originally thought that Uncle Yongning went to Jinling to ask for military pay and ordnance, and was going to recruit new soldiers, and the old debts would not be counted. Looking at the posture, it seems that there are still repetitions?
At this moment, a call came from the sergeant outside: "The commander is here!"

The generals who were discussing in secret, their hearts trembled, and they all looked out of the barracks.

I saw a group of brocade clothes coming from the camp road paved with phoenix trees and green strips of stones. In addition, there were also armored Dusi officials coming in a brigade. What made the generals feel at ease was that Shuiyu also By Jia Heng's side.

Jia Heng entered the barracks of the Chinese army surrounded by the front and back, and sat in the middle of the grand master's chair behind the commander-in-chief. On the right was Chen Xiao, who was wearing a flying fish suit. Captain Jinyi of Xiuchundao guarded the left and right.

"The last general has seen the commander-in-chief." Scattered voices sounded in the barracks of the Chinese army.

Jia Heng's face was indifferent, and his voice was calm, making it hard to hear the emotion: "Get up, generals."

With the sound of thanks, all the generals got up one after another and stood silently. The huge barracks was quiet, and a needle could be heard.

Jia Heng said: "Last night, the generals must have heard the sound of fighting. The Ma family led the pirates into Yangzhou and attacked the Baihu Office at night with the intention of hijacking the prison. The Jinyi Baihu Office is alone and lacks manpower. However, the fight lasted until midnight, and the Jiangbei camp did not have a single soldier or general to reinforce it, what is the reason?"

In the barracks, no one dared to respond, everyone knew it was bad luck, and no one dared to touch it.

Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "I asked Jiedu Judge Huang Xian, Marching Sima Zhou Bi and other generals about this matter last night. What I heard was all excuses. I didn't know that they were arrested until I tortured the dead men from the Ma family. I took money from the Ma family and the Cheng family!"

As soon as these words came out, it was as if a gust of wind had been blown up in the entire Chinese barracks, making all the generals present feel uneasy, as a storm seemed to be brewing.

Jia Heng picked up the booklet that recorded Huang Xian's and other people's confessions, flipped through it, and said: "Huang Xian received 15 taels, and the official's salary for 15 years is not so much, they really dare to take this money! "

When the generals below heard this, their hearts became even more awe-inspiring.

Jia Heng said: "They have no way to govern the army, they are greedy, their military discipline is lax, their soldiers are not full, and so on. I think about the prosperity of Yangzhou and the peace of Jiangbei soldiers and horses for too long. They can let the past go, but they don't restrain themselves. , Don’t give up, commit crimes against the wind, actually bribe for property, collude with rebels, and provide convenience for thieves to hijack the prison and escape in other ways, which is tolerable or unbearable!”

"Bang!!!"

The clenched fist hit the handsome case, and the tokens in the lottery jumped one after another, which also shocked the generals in the Chinese barracks.

At this time, Shui Yu got up, looked at the Jiangbei generals with frightened faces, and said expressionlessly: "Generals, Huang Xian and others accepted bribes from salt merchants, colluded with bandits and gangsters, and hijacked hundreds of large prisons. , is already a crime that cannot be punished, and I hope that the generals will do it themselves."

Just when the general below was worried, Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Come here, bring Huang Xian, Zhou Bi and others over here!"

"Yes." Captain Jinyi replied loudly.

And following Jin Yi's loud promise, not long after, Huang Xian, Zhou Bi, Yan Ruiwen, Hu Gui, who had been bound early, and Zhao Guerzilla, who was in charge of the water gate, were escorted into the barracks, all covered in blood. His mouth was stuffed with cloth strips.

"Kneel down!" As several generals kicked their legs, five civil and military generals of the Chinese army sat on the ground one after another, while Shui Yu had already closed his eyes, pretending not to hear.

Jia Heng's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "As the generals of the Jiangbei camp, colluding with the thieves and making it easier for them to hijack the prison is already a violation of national law and military discipline. Come here, push out these five beasts and behead them all. military law!"

The five people who were kneeling on the ground trembled violently when they heard the words, they seemed to be terrified, they whimpered non-stop, they struggled violently, they didn't know whether to beg for mercy or to cry for injustice, but after a short while, the guards of Jinyi's mansion held their arms and moved towards Drag it outside.

Not long after, Li Shu, who returned from his execution, strode into the mansion. The general behind him held five bloody heads, and the smell of blood dissipated in the barracks.

When the generals in the Chinese barracks saw this, their faces were pale, their hands and feet felt cold, and their former colleagues all became ghosts under the knife.

Even Shui Yu's complexion was ugly. Thinking of the duck blood soup he drank at noon, he felt bursts of sour water rushing towards his throat. He glanced at the stern, frost-like young man, and his heart surged with courage.

If he is ignorant of current affairs, I'm afraid this person will kill him with the Emperor's Sword!
Yes, when Jia Heng came to Yangzhou to fight against floods in Huai'an Mansion, he used the emperor's sword bestowed by Emperor Chongping to overwhelm Shui Yu.

Jia Heng had no expression on his face, and he shouted: "Hanging your head at the gate, so that all the troops will be warned!"

"Yes, Dudu." Captain Jinyi obeyed his orders and left.

For a moment, the barracks was enveloped in a chilling atmosphere, deathly silence, all the generals lowered their heads tightly, only felt the smell of blood rising in their nostrils, although it was summer, they already felt chills all over their bodies.

Jia Heng glanced at more than a dozen generals in the barracks, and said coldly: "I was ordered by the emperor to supervise the army in Jiangbei and rectify the camp affairs. The number of [-] troops is less than [-]. The soldiers of the generals and schools are lax in military discipline. Fang, due to dereliction of duty and indulgence."

He took another book and handed it to Liu Jixian who was at the side, asking him to read it aloud.

General Xia's heart tightened again when he heard his name, wouldn't he still want to kill him?
Jia Heng said: "Jiangbei Daying's military discipline is loose, and the number of troops is uneven. How much military pay has been withheld over the years, all of which have been reported to the Jinyi Mansion Experience Department. The officer can make an exception and make up [-]%, waiting for punishment. Refuse to explain, until the results of the investigation are found, this official will not be merciful!"

In front of the generals, except for two or three who can still be used, all of them will be re-examined before they can be retained. As for the soldiers of the Jiangbei camp, they will all be disrupted and reorganized later, the old and the weak will be eliminated, and soldiers will be recruited and trained.

Only in this way can the whole army be effective this time. From the observation during this period of time, the Jiangbei army is weaker than the Beijing camp, and it can be said that it is a group of mobs.

What's ridiculous is that Mopan still wants to rely on these troops to help the King of Chu accumulate strength, hoping to make a mutiny in the future?
Just serve him well, what is Fei Na trying to do?Little millstone, ridiculous.

As for the turmoil caused by such drastic changes, the Henan Dusi's [-] elite cavalry is sufficient to suppress and control it. In addition, the Henan Dusi's soldiers and horses quickly marched to Yangzhou, and he wanted to use Jiangbei to control Jiangnan.

As soon as Jia Heng's words came out, the faces of the generals present changed drastically, and all of them were in an uproar. Sure enough, they hadn't said anything before, and they were waiting here for them!

Some generals were shocked and angry, but they didn't dare to act recklessly. Not to mention that there were Jinyi personal guards inside and outside and Henan Dusi cavalry, even the threat of four heads just now made people feel jealous.

There is a family and a family in Yangzhou. If there is trouble, the family will be ruined.

Jia Heng looked at the frightened generals below, took note of some figures with calm faces, and said, "Shui Jie is handsome, say a few words."

He was not afraid of mutiny by these wine bags and rice bags at all. With the cavalry in charge, even if these people left the barracks of the Chinese army, they would not be able to incite a single soldier.

At this time, Shui Yu got up, looked at the generals who suddenly changed expression, and said: "Generals, listen to what I say."

Shui Yu sighed, and said with a heartbroken voice: "Jiangbei Camp has been in a state of disrepair these past few years, and this commander can't take it seriously. Now Yongningbo has come down from Beijing to reorganize his military equipment. This is the general trend of the imperial court to reorganize the army , no one can disobey, Yongningbo is a general who led an army of [-] to wipe out the rebels in the Central Plains, so it is most appropriate for him to reorganize the battalion."

Seeing that the faces of all the generals were calm, Shui Yu thought for a while, and then said: "When Yongning Bo was rectifying the Beijing camp, he also did not kill a single person without authorization. He just took out part of the soldiers' salaries for the encroachment and made up for it. Afterwards, it's good to take the crime and make meritorious service. No matter how old they are, they will never turn over old accounts, and there are even some generals who have done nothing but make small mistakes. They have made meritorious service and have been re-appointed. The generals do not need to be nervous. Many of them have families and families in Yangzhou. There are no more people like Huang Xian and others, so don't be alarmed."

These words were actually taught by Jia Heng to Shui Yu before his departure, mainly to relieve tension. From his point of view, it is not easy to win people's trust, but passing it on from Shui Yu naturally has a soothing effect.

As Shui Yu mentioned the past events in the Beijing camp, the tense nerves of some generals present gradually relaxed.

Seeing the generals bow their heads, Jia Heng said in a deep voice, "Liu Jixian, please come down."

At this time, the Jinyifu Military Academy came over and took a few people down.

For a while, there were still three or four soldiers in the barracks, all of whom survived the catastrophe.

Jia Heng said: "General Qu, take these people to take over the Jiangbei camp, weed out the old and the weak, and reorganize the soldiers. This summer, Huaibei is flooded, and the people in Huaibei have suffered a lot. You can recruit young and strong from Xusi and other places. My officer 30 taels of silver have been prepared for placement expenses for recruiting and training soldiers."

In fact, the stolen money from the salt merchants was copied later, and the military pay is really not lacking, but... this will be after the case of the salt transportation department's deficit is fully exposed, otherwise, it will not be good for outsiders.

That's it, any collusion with Donglu is an excuse for you, you just want to kill pigs for the New Year!
Qu Guang looked at the boy in the python suit in awe, clasped his fists and said yes.

After all the generals dispersed, Jia Heng looked at Shui Yu, his cold expression gradually disappeared, and he said: "I will report to the court about the whole army, the general of the water has general knowledge, I think the Holy Majesty will not criticize the past."

Shui Yu cupped his hands and said: "I don't dare to do it. When I go back, I will collect the military pay that has been withheld over the years, thinking that it will be used for the whole army."

He has also deducted a lot of salary over the years, and miscellaneous things are also a lot of money, so let's go back and hurry up to collect the money. Anyway, those who accept bribes from salt merchants don't say much.

Jia Heng looked at the knowledgeable Shui Yu, nodded, and said: "General Shui will get it together, and it will be good. If you have any difficulties, General Shui can come to me at any time. I am a minister with the Prince of Beijing, and we are on the same path... Committed to military affairs together, it will not be difficult for General Shui.”

He still demanded [-]% compensation from the generals of the Jiangbei battalion, and no further investigation, also in order to disintegrate the hidden dangers of subsequent disasters in the Jiangbei battalion.

Otherwise, there may be military chaos.

Shui Yu nodded, and left the barracks of the Chinese army, only feeling confused.

In fact, the five bloody heads just now not only made the generals of the middle and lower camps in the Jiangbei camp shudder, but also shook Shui Yu's mind.

For a while, Jia Heng and Chen Xiao were the only ones left in the Chinese army barracks that had been crowded with people just now.

Under Chen Xiao's eyebrows, her clear eyes flickered, and she said, "Is Jiangbei Camp finished?"

This man is really a natural born general. Whether it is governing politics or running the army, he has the air of a king, but... he is a bit lustful.

Jia Heng looked at the girl who was wearing a flying fish suit, her face was unspeakably handsome, and she was wearing a flying fish suit with white fish patterns. Although she didn't wear makeup, she had a natural and natural charm on her eyebrows.

"This is the beginning. We will recruit and train soldiers in the future. General Jian Ba ​​will retrain the navy." Jia Heng said slowly.

Guo Rong killed Fan Aineng and He Hui more than [-] generals, and reorganized the Imperial Army, which was only the first step in rectification. Zhao Da should never be used, leaving hidden dangers of bullying orphans and widows.

"Two of the eight salt merchants have gone, and those salt merchants can't sit still even if they want to come." Chen Xiao was uncomfortable being looked at by that stare, turned her gaze, pursed her cherry lips, and said in a low voice.
