Chapter 15 The Danger of Change 4

"It turned out to be for military service."

"Exact."

Military will inevitably be issued. However, at this time, Sun En cut off the sea and land roads, and I'm afraid he can't reach the chapter for a while.

"I don't think so. Someone came to Huiji the day before yesterday, and Huiji's military service has not been issued for several months. How long will the court, ministers, generals and dignitaries deceive us? The man asked harshly. The people behind also began to make a loud noise.

"It is indeed true that the current unpaid money is not available. I want to ask you what are your plans to make such a trouble? Anyway, I have to figure out their intentions first. Let's see what the worst possibility is if the situation is out of control. In this way, I can consider how to deal with it.

"We know that the treasury is rich. Since you owe the military pay, you should open the treasury and make up the amount of the pay.

"The treasury can't move!" I will answer right away.

Why can't you move? The money in the treasury is not used to raise soldiers to fight. What else can it be used?

"The treasury of the sentence is not a military treasury. If the money in the military treasury is, it can naturally be sent to you as military pay. But this treasury is the wealth of the people. To tell you the truth, the pay given to the recruits last month was actually not from the military treasury, but from the treasury of Juzhang County. At present, these payments can only be regarded as loans for the garrison. In the future, if the military payments are released, they will be repaid in full.

"How many of the defenders are there? We have come all the way here to guard the city for the people. Don't they even make some money? For the sake of defending the city for them, even if there is no money in the treasury, the people should give us some remuneration, not to mention that there is money in the treasury.

There is indeed some money in the treasury, but not much. In the past few months, there have been relying on Yu Qiujin and other military officials to manage the treasury and deal with daily expenses for me, otherwise I would not be able to support it for a long time.

It is illegal to pay military pay with the money in the county. Although this is a very special period, I don't want to break this exception.

This is just a military camp of more than a hundred people, but in the projectile land of the stream. Such a thing can't be suppressed. How can you lead a soldier and serve as a general in the future? Moreover, although I, an officer who rarely leads troops, has won several battles, now it depends more on the ability to govern the army. In any case, the matter of the mutiny must be solved invisibly.

At this moment, Liu Zhong didn't know where he came from. His clothes were messy, his hat was gone, his hair was loose, and his hand holding the knife was bleeding. Although I feel sorry for this commander who has just recovered from his injury, I can lend him a chance at this time.

"What on earth happened?" My face sank and I questioned Liu Zhong.

"Told Sima, the soldiers of this battalion have mutinied."

"The change? What ruff? Where is the mutiny? I asked a few harsh questions, which made Liu Zhong puzzled. He was about to speak when I waved my hand to stop it. I continued, "Why did you let the soldiers kill each other?"

Although Liu Zhong didn't know what I meant, he was on the right side after all, so he said confidently: "These people claim that the military pay is unfair, but in fact they disturb the hearts of the army. At present, the enemy violates military rules, and the crime is unpardonable.

"So you ordered to kill?"

"It's not my order, but because I fought back because I was attacked."

"Okay, who will attack you? Look at these soldiers in front of us. They are all our brothers and sisters. Many of these soldiers, like you and me, came from Huiji and Beijing, and some even our relatives and neighbors. If you do it right, who will attack you?

Liu Zhong was not convinced, but he didn't dare to refute my words. He looked at me aggrievedly and didn't know what to say.

I glanced around, everyone looked at me, and no one spoke.

"Leave the two soldiers and take the rest back." I ordered Liu Zhong.

"Sima!"

"Go! Don't delay business here."

Liu Zhong knew that I didn't want him to be there, so he chose two soldiers to follow me and took the rest of the people away.

Kwain stood still with two knives in his hand. I know that on the one hand, Kuan is worried about my safety, and on the other hand, he refuses to listen to Liu Zhong's orders. I had to persuade Coon to leave alone. By the way, ask him to tell others not to come to the Zhaixi barracks without my order.

After the crowd left, I turned to face these soldiers with angry and surprised faces.

The reason why I want to send everyone away with only two soldiers is to show a gesture to these trouble-rioters: I'm here to solve the problem, not to cure them.

When everyone saw that the three of us were unarmed, they put down their weapons one after another.

I said to the two leaders, "Please lead the way. Let's talk about it. It's windy at night, and the brothers' clothes are thin. Let them pay their own bills.

The two looked at each other again and finally decided to take me into the account, but refused to let the soldiers go back.

We entered a military account of a leader. The soldiers surrounded the military tent.

In the stream, in addition to me and a few higher-ranking generals, most of the soldiers also live in military tents like camping in the wild. After all, there are still some people sleeping in the mountains and forests, and there are not enough people for soldiers to build new wooden houses. Such a military account is not big, and it can accommodate eight or nine people at most.

I choose to talk about things not only because it is huzy, but also because it can avoid being too many people. Originally, everyone's mood was unstable, and coupled with noise, it was easy to intensify things.

This is a trick I learned from General Sun Wuyu. When he encounters good things, he always gathers as many people as possible to discuss them to let as many people as possible know; when he encounters bad things, he usually talks to the parties, and at most one or two people join the army. I often deal with him with things that should not be publicized.

It was several officers who entered the account with me. The two horses who just jumped out and shocked me were also there, but now they stood behind the crowd. It seems that they are not the mastermind of this matter.

After sitting down, I looked around and asked peacefully, "What do you have to fight?"

One of them replied, "Liu Sima, we are not willing to do so. But I was really forced to do nothing. When we join the army to fight, we just earn some military benefits to support our family. In the past half a year, I have only been imprisoned for two months. I'm in the army, and I still have three meals to eat if I don't have money. But there are still elderly people in my hometown who are unattended. For months, there has been no money to send home, and the messages at home have not been heard. I don't know what kind of life they are living.

"I have understood the military service. It's really not easy to raise it for a while now. However, please be patient for a few days. I will ask General Daojian to make a request to the court on his behalf. Because of the loss of Zhangcheng, there is no room for negotiation about the salary, but the salary owed should still be made up.

"I just said that Huiji and Shangyu also owed the same. General Daojian is also busy with Shangyu. How can he take care of us?

"That's right." That's right." The people outside the account began to make a comeback when they heard this. We need to get a grate, or huh!"
