"What’s with me? I’m a quartermaster, and I don’t want to fight on the battlefield. I didn’t think of us when those thieves matched the army to bully men and women. Of course, we have to find a way to make a fortune ourselves. Can’t we make a fortune by mixing a quartermaster? "
Zhao Yucheng was surprised at their answer.
"Even so, aren’t you worried that we will win the battle by selling us all the food and weapons?"
"What’s with me? You should worry about whether the court is the emperor or the privy Council. I won’t worry about this. "
The quartermaster picked up a piece of gold and felt the heavy touch of gold. "The court doesn’t care if we people live or die. What do I care about winning or losing?" If you want to make money, I can sell you anything I have.
I also hope that you’d better play it smoothly. Only with you will we have a chance to make money. If you play hard, the court will allocate more money for us to make money. You still don’t understand that you think the war is won or lost, but in my eyes, this war is gold and silver. "
The quartermaster touched the gold, and his face was disgusting and his smile made Zhao Yucheng unforgettable for a long time.
He suddenly realized that the integrity and purity of the big army is the only thing in this world. Leaving the big army is dirty, corrupt and unsightly everywhere.
What surprised him even more was the quartermaster’s request
"It’s true to sell you things, but it’s hard to reach an agreement when you go out. We should also help each other so that business can last for a long time, don’t you think?"
Zhao Yucheng frowned.
"What do you mean?"
"It’s very simple. Let’s sell things to your warehouse, and the quantity will be wrong. If we don’t check the face, we will know when the face suddenly fell ill and will check the ordnance quantity. Then we can’t explain it?"
The quartermaster whispered, "Well, when you get back, tell your general if you can give us a hand. When the time comes, you will sneak up at night and burn down the armory and granary so that we can be safe."
"Can it still be like this?"
Zhao Yucheng was greatly shocked.
"Otherwise? Always give an account! "
The quartermaster thought they were a group of bumpkins who had never seen the world before and said, "Are you all making a fuss? This Song Dynasty is too normal. Don’t say that our guys who look after the imperial treasury all regard the imperial treasury as their own wallets.
Usually, if they don’t check it in, they will sell it for money. When someone comes to check it, they will either fill it up and prevaricate it or burn it to death. After the testimony, they will be dismissed from office at most.
However, all the money they got was used to buy land. After they were dismissed from office, they became the local rich man, and the local tyrant could not be easily taken care of. I heard that at that time, I was scared. How could this happen? "
Yu-cheng zhao touched his head and looked "learned" for a long time before sending out regrets.
"If you still know a lot about this, we really can’t think of these things."
"Ha, ha, ha, that’s natural. You may arrive after you learn something."
Quartermaster gloated.
Looking at him, Zhao Yucheng finally understood what Su Yonglin always said that the Southern Song Dynasty was doomed if it was not saved.
The demise of the country may not only come from external military attacks, but also from self-division and collapse.
Su Yonglin always talks about this sentence, which also makes Zhao Yucheng feel more deeply.
How long can the Southern Song Dynasty persist when officials are like this?
That is to say, the bottom is solid and the finances can still be maintained. Once the finances collapse, the Southern Song Dynasty is not far from complete collapse.
After the deal, Zhao Yucheng returned to the mountains and held many meetings, saying that it was this aspect that told the soldiers of the peasant army about the corruption of quartermaster in the Southern Song Dynasty and the collapse of Song Jun.
Perhaps the best way to defeat the enemy is to guide them to defeat themselves.
This harmonious bilateral relationship lasted for more than a month. Qi Fang led Song Jun to fish and touched the arrival of Shao Hongyuan, the commander-in-chief of Chizhou.
Shao Hongyuan emerged in the Jin-Song War more than 20 years ago, and was said to be as brave as Ma Chao. He fought fiercely and defeated the 8 Jin Army and its servants, the northern puppet troops, many times.
It was later with the wrong people and the wrong team in politics that suffered a lot.
When he got up again, it was Zhang Jun who appreciated and recommended his political outlook as a hawk general to appear in front of imperial hawk officials and get their appreciation and recommendation.
So this counter-insurgency war Zhang Jun is going to let Shao Hongyuan go out to earn a wave of credit and help him quell the rebellion on Jiangnan West Road by the way.
When Shao Hongyuan received the order, he also ordered the whole army to replace some officers who had been under Li Xianzhong’s command with one of their own, and let the army become an army that obeyed his own orders
Then we can March to Jizhou to participate in the war.
Shao Hongyuan brought 10,000 people, which is a rare elite in the Song army. Shao Hongyuan is also a general with good command ability. Zhang Jun is full of expectations for him.
However, the Lord will be Qi Fang
Qi Fang didn’t intend to fight with the peasant army in Luoxiao Mountain area at all. Shao Hongyuan rushed to Jizhou and saw lazy officers and soldiers without military discipline. It didn’t look like a war at all, but like a holiday or a group building together.
Shao Hongyuan is very puzzled about this.
"General, aren’t we going to suppress thieves in Luoxiao Mountain? When to attack? "
While reviewing his own investment this month, Qi Fang casually replied, "General Shao has come a long way. Don’t rush to attack first. Let the soldiers rest first. If the soldiers can’t rest, they can’t fight well. What about General Shao?"
Chapter 6 How can we make money if you can’t carry it?
Shao Hongyuan doesn’t think there is anything wrong with this statement. He feels that there is something wrong with Qi Fang through what he has seen and heard.
But as a newcomer, he was embarrassed to say that Qifang was not.
So he can honestly accept this situation and make the army camp to recuperate.
However, he did not allow the soldiers to be as sloppy as the Qi army, but maintained military discipline and placed the barracks in a far place, while resting and not forgetting to let the army train.
After waiting for several days, Shao Hongyuan couldn’t sit still, so he went to ask Qi Fang about the war. Qi Fang continued to prevaricate. Shao Hongyuan couldn’t stand it if he went back and forth for more than half a month.
"Positions and cardinals require our army to destroy Luo Xiao rebels as soon as possible. If we can’t finish positions and cardinals as soon as possible, can we bear it? What about the general? "
Qi Fang is still a pair of light clouds and light winds. While eating and plundering from somewhere, he cooks exquisite food and smiles and prevaricates Shao Hongyuan.
"The front line is difficult. The thief army goes deep into Luoxiao Mountain area. It is not very difficult for our army to fight. Unless the thief army takes the initiative to attack, our army should not go deep into the mountain area. It will be dangerous if you can get in and get out.
Of course, general Shao, please rest assured that I have blocked the mountain road department. The thief army will either take the initiative to attack or be trapped in the mountain. If our army takes the initiative to attack, it will take the advantage. If it does not attack, the thief army will be trapped in the mountain sooner or later. "
In this way, Qi Fang said with a proud face, "There is no suspense that our army will win this battle!"
Shao Hongyuan was stunned by Qi Fangniu’s tactics.
"This …"
"General Shao, be calm. Now the thief army is trapped in the mountains. It must be very tired. Isn’t it beautiful that our army is earlier and earlier? I really want to send troops to fight. First, the dangerous roads in the mountains are not suitable for large troops to March. Second, the thief army is more familiar with the roads in the mountains than we are. It is doomed to attack. It is better to wait for the thief to take the initiative to attack. "
Qi Fang is ashamed to laugh, and there is some truth in what he says.
But how long will it take?
