Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 15: Money Grain

Although Boss Hu and Zhao Sihai once served in the Ming army, no one has seen what the official seal and official seal of the Yongli court look like. Although Zhou Shixiang has lived for two generations, he has two credentials for serving as an official at the Yongli court. Blind to the eye, in the end, everyone publicly pushed Song Xianggong, who had been the magistrate, to come forward to check.

Recalling the seal of the general that was stolen from the camp and combined with the seal of the county magistrate that he kept in the Manchu county when he was the magistrate, Duke Xiang of Song pretended to be sure of the official body and the seal of the general of Luoding Prefecture. True or false, and then pretended to be polite and looked at Cheng Bangjun’s official certificate of the military officer of the Yongli Imperial Court, and finally nodded heavily to Boss Hu. In this way, the hearts of the men in the room were put back in their stomachs. .

Zhou Shixiang was also completely relieved. The request for the inspection was made by him. Now that it is proved to be true, he is naturally happy.

Ordinarily, Cheng Bangjun came all the way to recruit Hu Boss and the others. This can’t be fake, but the vigilant habit of being a soldier in his previous life has made Zhou Shixiang more attentive. As Hu Boss said, being safe is never a bad thing. After all, compared with the Yongli court of the Nanming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had far more conspiracy methods against the Ming army and the resistance forces. Who knows if they are here to coax the Daqiao Mountain bandits, and then wait for them to go down the mountain and capture them in one net. Clear the place.

If these bandits had nothing to do with him, Zhou Shixiang would not want to meddle in his own business, but now that he knew each other, and these men were friendly to him, even though they were gangsters, they did not forget who their father and mother ancestors were and acted as accomplices to the Tartars. For this, Zhou Shixiang will also do his best to help them. Besides, when he ate someone’s meal, it was really embarrassing for him to be soft-hearted and soft-hearted.

After confirming that it was true, Cheng Bangjun was also secretly relieved. He also wondered whether these bandits would break their promises and give him a break. Now things have completely changed as he expected, and his mentality is very different. Boss Hu spoke in a very friendly tone, as if he had been a colleague for a long time, and exchanged a few words of courtesy. Cheng Bangjun saw that it was almost there, and said, “Since the inspection has been completed, then please ask General Hu to receive the seal with incense.”

As soon as he heard that he was called a general, Boss Hu’s face suddenly burst into a smile, and he hurriedly ordered his men to file the incense case.

………

The ceremony for Hu Quan to take over as Luo Dingzhou’s sergeant was naturally impossible to be cumbersome or formal. After the men set up the incense table, the ceremony began.

Cheng Bangjun did not find out an imperial decree to read like Zhou Shixiang watched the official decree in movies and TV in his previous life. Instead, he stood in front of the incense table with a solemn expression and said a few words of the emperor’s ‘supreme decree”, probably to encourage the appointment of officials. From now on, those people will serve for the court, kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, and the court will not treat them badly. After the “Shang Yu” was finished, Cheng Bangjun transformed himself into Cheng Yuanwailang again. He took the pen and ink and wrote Hu Quan’s name on the blank appointment letter of Luoding Prefecture. Zhou Shixiang glanced at it, and the paper had already been covered. Well, the big seal looks like it is indeed covered by the jade seal of the Emperor Yongli.

After writing his name, Cheng Bangjun held the letter of appointment in one hand and the seal in the other, and said loudly, “Counselor General Luo Ding Hu Quan takes over the seal!”

“Last General Hu Quan takes over!”

Hu Lao University responded loudly to what he saw in Li Chengdong’s army back then. After kowtowing, he hurried forward to receive the commission and the seal from Cheng Bangjun. In this way, the newly appointed General of Luo Dingzhou of the Yongli court would be released.

When Hu Quan carefully looked at the commission letter that the ink was still dry, Cheng Bangjun remembered something, and hurriedly said: “General Hu’s official uniform and the court have long been prepared, as long as General Hu leads his troops to attack Luoding Prefecture, a special person will come to deliver it. . In addition, the general’s subordinates will also be sent to the general to report to the general, and they will be appointed after the military department’s verification.”

When I heard that the official uniform was not brought, I had to wait until I took Luo Dingcheng. Boss Hu was a little disappointed, and then he thought that he was just fooling them. Where would he really go to fight Luo Dingcheng? If there is no official uniform, there is no Bar. Just have this official seal, ask Mr. Song to write something later, press the seal up, but it is the order of the sergeant of the eight classics. As for the appointment of his subordinates, Boss Hu didn’t think much about it. The surnamed Cheng made it clear that the next step would be to win Luo Dingcheng. Right now, except for this great seal of generals, everything else is an extravagant hope.

“Congratulations, big brother! Congrats big brother!”

“Big brother has become a general, and the brothers will also be guerrillas, commanders, and garrisoners in the future!”

“Hey, I didn’t think I would be able to be an official in the future. It’s really smoking from the ancestral grave!”

“…”

A group of men in the house were busy congratulating Hu Laodao. Cheng Bangjun listened to their vulgar words and was disdainful in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he always had a smile on his face. When Mr. Hu looked at him, he immediately nodded his head. During this period, he and Zhou Shixiang exchanged glances a few times, and the rare thing was that they smiled at each other, and they were no longer as cold as before.

After the bandits had had enough fun, Cheng Bangjun reminded Hu Laodao, who was still immersed in joy: “General Hu has been ordered, so please inform this official when General Hu plans to attack Luoding City? Yes? Once the letter is approved, I can reply to the governor when I go back.”

When Hu Quan heard the words, his face was startled, and when he was about to speak, Song Xianggong said first: “Sir, don’t worry, since my eldest brother has been appointed by the court, he will naturally go to Luo Dingcheng. Right now we have no other request, just ask Lord Cheng to go back. You can send some money for me.”

“Money?”

here we go again! Cheng Bangjun snorted and said calmly: “Since you have been appointed by the imperial court, you should have allocated money and grain, but now you can’t. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com The official does not hide from you, since Xining After Wang’s withdrawal, the situation in Guangdong is not good for our army, and everywhere is tight, so there is a shortage of money and food, and it cannot be allocated to you for the time being, and General Hu will have to raise it himself.”

After hearing this, Duke Xiang of Song was immediately dissatisfied and said: “The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, and he has no money and food. What can I use to fight Luoding City?”

“That is, if there is no food in the stomach, I have no strength in my hands, how can I fight with the Tartars!” Zhao Sihai also shouted in cooperation.

When the two of them said this, all the men hurriedly followed, and Boss Hu also said a few words, all thinking that it would be better if he could coax this surnamed Cheng and allocate more money to come over.

Cheng Bangjun can’t take out the silver, and he can’t take out the food!

Right now, the Ming army in Guangdong is unable to protect itself, and the money and food are pitiful. If there is enough money and food, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Lianchengbi and the governor of the four prefectures, Zhang Xiaoqi, would not have come up with the bad idea of incorporating bandits. They would have taken out food and recruited people to join the army , where are these bandits still needed, and they will not be awarded the imperial court. To put it bluntly, the Ming army in Guangdong was so poor that they were almost beggars. Apart from the righteousness of the court and a piece of paper, they really couldn’t come up with anything else.

With the overall situation like this, where did Cheng Bangjun raise grain and money?

When Zhou Shi met everyone, he quarreled with Cheng Bangjun about money and grain, and Cheng Bangjun also began to doubt the sincerity of Boss Hu in attacking Luo Dingcheng, and hurriedly said: “Master Cheng, don’t worry, we will solve the money and grain matter by ourselves. This Luo Dingcheng, we also Will definitely fight!”
