Chapter 505 Power
Guan Shanyue nodded, and said to Yang Jin: "Brother Yang, the southern helm is too far away from here, and it's too late to mobilize horses. How many horses can your northern helm mobilize?"
Yang Jin counted and said, "About seven or eight thousand."
Han Shizhong heard this, and interjected: "The Nanfang Branch can't donate horses, but can raise money to buy them. My Nanfang Branch is willing to raise money for [-] horses and hand them over to the Chief Steward. In case the brothers in the gang say that the gang leader treats one more than another."
Guan Shanyue nodded and smiled, and said: "It's rare for the brothers in the gang to understand the righteousness, and it's really a blessing for the Dragon Guardian Gang."
Zheng Hao interrupted and said: "It's still the leader of the gang who leads well, so that the brothers of the family are not separated from each other."
Guan Shanyue smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Tian Hu claims to have an army of 80, but in my opinion, it will never exceed 40. Besides, most of his soldiers are poor people who are forced to make a living. Those who can really work for him At most, it's only 10,000+. Our [-] elite soldiers will surely wipe them out."
After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads in agreement.Ming Yang looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "The ancients said that before the soldiers and horses move, the food and grass go first. Dare I ask the leader, how much is the imperial court paying us for this bandit suppression?"
Guan Shanyue looked at Ming Yang, and said: "The imperial court has not allocated military salaries."
"What?" Ming Yang frowned, and said: "Fifty thousand soldiers and horses are dispatched, food, clothing, housing, transportation, food and supplies, but a lot of expenses. The imperial court does not allocate military salaries, how can we dispatch troops and generals?"
After hearing this, Guan Shanyue said: "The military salary will be paid in advance by the Financial Secretary. I think that when the bandits return triumphantly, the imperial court will definitely reward them."
Ming Yang shook his head and said, "If the leader is not in charge of the family, he doesn't know how expensive firewood is. The Hulong Gang used troops against Xixia twice, and our financial secretary successively paid out 100 million taels. But in the end, the court only rewarded the leader verbally, and sealed the leader of a king of Taiping." False title. Our Dragon Guardian Gang pays up to 2000 million taels of tax silver to the imperial court every year, helping the imperial court to fight wars, but still spends our own money. The imperial court is obviously making us take advantage of it. I think this bandit will not be suppressed!"
Guan Shanyue frowned, and said: "As a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, it is our duty to serve the country loyally, so why bother with these extraneous things?"
Ming Yang snorted softly and said: "The imperial court borrowed us 300 million taels of silver last year, and we haven't paid back any of it. Fifty thousand soldiers and horses went to Hebei to suppress the bandits, and the army's salary plus food and supplies. It takes at least 50 taels The financial accountant's office is less than 5 taels, and the remaining 45 taels are up to the gang leader to figure out a way. As for marching and fighting, I don't understand, and there is no need to refer to my opinion, I will not accompany you!"
After finishing speaking, Ming Yang stood up and walked away.
Wu De let out a "Hey", stood up, and said: "Master, this name is relying on the old to sell the old, and it is becoming more and more unruly, it is too shameful!"
Guan Shanyue smiled and said: "The chief executive has prejudice against the imperial court and is angry in his heart. Let him go."
Wu De sighed, spread his hands, and said: "You said that the imperial court also confiscated our weapons, borrowed so much silver and horses from us, and always suffered the defeat of the Liao Kingdom. If you give us the military pay and weapons, we will soon Destroy Daliao!"
Guan Shanyue shook her head, hummed softly, and said, "Daliao has a vast territory, with millions of troops and countless people. It's not easy to destroy Daliao."
Wu De snorted and said, "At least we won't lose so many battles."
Guan Shanyue ignored Wu De no longer, turned to the deputy head Zheng Hao and asked: "For this matter of military pay, does the third brother have a good plan?"
Zheng Hao said: "Just leave this matter to the fourth brother."
"As the guild leader ordered, I will definitely do my best!" Yang Jin said.
Zheng Hao is usually taciturn, but he often speaks to the point.This Yang Jin is resourceful and resourceful, he can always find a way to solve any difficult and tricky things in the gang.Therefore, Zheng Hao suggested that Yang Jin should be handed over to collect the military salary.
Hearing that Yang Jin readily accepted the task, Guan Shanyue nodded slightly.
Wan Li said: "Although Hulong Gang has a lot of business, what we earn is hard money. While we support ourselves, we work hard for the court and pay them tax money. Why don't you think the court is considerate of us? "
The goose-feather fan in Wen Cheng's hand stopped shaking, and he said, "The court wants to use the Dragon Guards to solve problems, but is also worried that the Dragon Guards will become powerful and rebel. So every time we use troops, the court will confiscate our weapons. Among the courts, The rumors about the Dragon Guardian Gang have never stopped. The six thieves of the imperial court have always regarded us as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh. If I guessed correctly, it was the Prime Minister Cai Jing and his group who deliberately suppressed our Dragon Guardian Gang."
"That's right," Guan Shanyue said, "The Dragon Guardians went west to conquer Xixia, and fought against Daliao in the north, killing and injuring countless brothers. This bandit Cai puts most of the credit on Tong Guan, he is really shameless."
At this moment, a rudder master said: "Let's kill Cai Jing, an old thief, so that he won't bring disaster to the country and the people again!"
Guan Shanyue shook her head and said, "Brother used to serve in the army, and it is common for people to claim rewards for their merits. I have a lot of experience in this matter. I wonder what good strategy I have?"
He said this to Han Shizhong.Han Shizhong once sought a job in the army. He fought bravely and was both wise and brave.In the battle of Xixia, he made great achievements repeatedly.Later, because he was squeezed out by Tong Guan, he left the army angrily and joined the Dragon Guardian Gang.He has outstanding performance in the gang, was promoted by Guan Shanyue, and was promoted all the way to the chief rudder of the South, in charge of the 36 rudders of the South.
Hearing Guan Shanyue's question, Han Shizhong immediately said: "We are upright and are not afraid of the slanting shadow. When we kill Tian Hu and make great achievements, it is unreasonable for the imperial court not to reward us."
Wen Cheng smiled and said, "When Tian Hu is destroyed, we won't care about the imperial court's rewards!"
Everyone can understand what he said.Tian Hu looted countless wealth from the people, and after being wiped out, he would naturally reap a lot of gold and silver treasures.
Yang Jin smiled knowingly, and said: "Boss Wen is right, we can't be single-minded, sometimes we have to learn to master it."
"Brother Yang said exactly what he said," Guan Shanyue said, "Boss Wen is going to order the soldiers and horses. After seven days, when the weapons are polished, we will send troops to Hebei."
After everyone dispersed, Yang Jin left the sixteen helmsmen behind.
The helmsmen just stood up and sat down again.The rudder masters didn't know why Yang Jin wanted to keep them, but they didn't dare to ask.
I only heard Yang Jin ask: "Helmsmen, do you know why I invited you here?"
"Why?" A thin man asked, "Please tell me clearly, chief rudder."
Yang Jin looked at the thin man, and said: "Master Chen, you have a good question. You heard it just now, and the leader is worried about the military salary. So I would like to ask the captains to donate generously to the military salary."
Upon hearing this, Chen Tuozhu said, "Okay, I am willing to donate one year's salary, and immediately hand it over to the Financial Secretary Wenyin 50 taels!"
"I donate 30 taels."
"I donate 20 taels."
The rest shouted.
Yang Jin smiled, but the smile was very strange, and he asked: "Do you know why you are allowed to come, but not the other rudder masters?"
The sixteen rudder masters listened, you looked at me, I looked at you, all of them looked blank.
Chen Ruozhu said: "I also ask the chief rudder to explain."
Yang Jin said: "You don't even think about it, you are just the helmsman, and you only have to wait for orders. When did the guild master discuss with you about important military affairs?"
