I have a backstage in Datang

I have a backstage in Datang Chapter 373 of the main text volume [Fanatical military competition] Three days later, I am right and cool.

Two fast horses galloped like lightning, and rushed into a zhechong mansion.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I have an urgent military report, get out of the way!"

The two knights on the horse kept roaring. After entering the Zhechong Mansion, the speed of the horses did not decrease, but continued to gallop forward, heading straight for the tent in the middle.

Zhechong Mansion is a formal military unit, how could there be no response to such a big commotion?

The curtain of the barracks in the middle was suddenly lifted, and a general in armor strode out, his brows were obviously wrinkled, and his face was very displeased.

But when he saw the two knights clearly, the displeasure on his face immediately turned into a kind of shock, and even under the shock, there was a hint of flattery.

He hurried forward to meet him, the tone of his mouth was still shocked, and said: "Chief Manager, Seventh Manager, why are you two here? You two should accompany the Patriarch to take inventory of the property in Youzhou, right?"

Just as he was speaking, two knights immediately got off their horses. The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, followed by a capable man in his early thirties.

The two of them were panting heavily, and before they could make a sound, they bent over and retched. After a long time, their breathing became a little calmer, and they hurriedly called out: "Quick, water, bring water. Our mouths are dry and our throats are dry. It's all smoke."

The general in armor didn't dare to hesitate, turned around and ran into the tent himself, only five or six breaths later, he came out with two huge leather bags.

As expected of a military commander, his pace was fast, he jumped a few times, and stood in front of the two knights again.

Without saying a word, the two knights grabbed the leather bag with their hands and poured it vigorously. They coughed repeatedly because they drank too much water.

The general in armor couldn't help but uttered a voice, and said cautiously, "Drink slowly, drink slowly. After you two have quenched your thirst a bit, my nephew, I'll ask someone to set up a banquet."

Unexpectedly, one of the knights shook his head instantly, his tone obviously unquestionable, and said: "No need, we will leave immediately!"

He paused for a while, and then said: "Not only we have to leave, but you must also leave. Not only you have to leave, but the government soldiers also need to leave. It must be fast, it must be fast."

The general was taken aback for a moment, and said in astonishment: "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry."

He paused as he spoke, hesitating a little, and then said: "I haven't received the military notice from the superior state and county for the time being. Wouldn't it be a violation of the military order if I took the soldiers with me? You two should know it, Mr. Tang's military law is very strict. Anyone who breaks the law will be punished."

He paused again while talking, and explained carefully: "And I am the Captain Zhechong who took a lot of effort to install in the family. Once I am punished by the military law, my future will inevitably be hindered. This is the best for our family. It is an extremely distressing loss."

"What about losses?"

The slightly younger Seventh Steward suddenly yelled, and said sharply, "It's just a small loss for you. The family can bear it even if it hurts, but do you know how much the family will feel sorry for the loss if you leave late?"

The armor general was startled again, his tone became more cautious, and he asked tentatively: "Just now, when I saw that you two came in person, I knew that there must be something important to say. Otherwise, just send a messenger from the family. There's no point in making you two servants suffer."

At this time, the 40-year-old chief executive finally spoke, and said in a deep voice: "The reason why we came here in person is because this matter should not be underestimated. If you send a messenger here, it may be difficult to make you obedient. For example, just now Aren't you just tactfully refusing? Even if the two of us come here in person, you don't want the government soldiers to leave..."

These words hinted at a beating.

The armored general was taken aback, and hastily argued: "General Manager, you are my fourth grandfather. You should know that my nephew would never dare to disobey the wishes of the family. The main reason is that the military laws of the Tang Dynasty are extremely strict, and It is true that I have not received any military documents from the state and county."

He was obviously terrified, and he spoke quickly and hastily in his defense, and continued: "As Captain Zhechong, there is no order to act recklessly. Once you act recklessly, you will definitely violate the military law. Those people from Tiance Mansion will surely Come out, they will definitely remove my Captain Zhechong..."

"Now our family's faction has lost its strength in the army, so my position as Captain Zhechong is extremely important to the family... It is precisely because of this concern that my nephew..."

It's a pity that his defense is not over yet, the Seventh Steward has already interrupted with a wave of his hand, and said sharply: "Don't talk nonsense, break out of the camp immediately. The entire Zhechong Mansion's soldiers must leave within half an hour. We are going to fight now It's time, and we must not lose to Zhechong Mansions in other places."

"But Bingwen..." The general hesitated.

At this time, the chief executive spoke again and said: "You don't have to worry about the issue of military documents. The superior state and county have already sent it out, but it's still on the way and it hasn't reached your hands yet. But we can't just sit here and wait , we must immediately let the government soldiers break out of camp and set off."

After all, it is the chief executive, whose demeanor is much calmer than that of the seventh steward, and he slowly said: "The military document is a small matter, and you can receive it on the road. As long as you receive the military document, it doesn't matter even if there is a time difference, and no one will hold you accountable." This matter can be settled even if we are prosecuted. However, it is a big matter to seize time, and we cannot delay for a moment. The family is worried that you have concerns, so they let me and Lao Qi come here in person."

The chief executive said as he thumped his waist, and sighed, "It's more than 700 miles, and Lao Qi and I only spent three days. It's like going crazy on this journey, Fourth Grandpa I seem to have returned to the time when I was young, full of strength, gritted my teeth, and rode wildly for three consecutive days, and I, an old guy in his 40s, survived."

In this era, people in their 40s can already be regarded as old guys, so he is not exaggerating, and it is reasonable to call himself an old man.

The face of the general in armor became obviously serious, and he pondered: "Fourth Grandpa and Seventh Brother are working so hard, obviously this matter is really important to the family..."

He suddenly made up his mind and said loudly: "Okay, I won't wait for the military report. Now pass down the order to let the government soldiers gather immediately."

The seven stewards next to me couldn't help but add, saying: "It must be fast, it must be fast, even if it takes an extra breather time, maybe our Luoyang Chen family can be ranked among the top three."

The general suddenly turned around, shouted loudly at several soldiers not far away, and said: "Quickly pass on my order, and the soldiers of the government will prepare immediately, first pull out the camp, and then collect the accounts. Soldiers must gather..."

He paused for a while while talking, and then said: "Send another order, go to the civilian husband's camp nearby, and let them prepare to leave immediately, and they will also gather in half an hour."

The few personal soldiers responded loudly, and then ran away towards the distance.

After the armor general issued the order, he felt that the eagerness of Fourth Grandpa and Seventh Brother had calmed down a little. He turned around again, with a look of curiosity in his eyes, and asked tentatively: "Fourth Grandpa, Seventh Brother, now I May I ask, what kind of event is it?"

But seeing the chief executive sighed with emotion, he suddenly reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a very gentle tone: "Chen Luo, you are the only member of the army in the family, although your rank is not too high, But serving as the captain of Zhechong can barely be regarded as having military power, which is a great protection for our family. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, the family will not affect your future..."

The Seventh Steward next to him suddenly opened his mouth and said loudly: "But this time is different, we have to fight."

As he spoke, he looked at the armored general, and said with a serious face: "Old Thirteen, listen carefully, although we are not biological brothers, we have broken bones and tendons. You may wish to recall, Seventh Brother, did I entrap you?" in your case?"

Armor General Chen Luo's face turned serious, and he quickly said, "What are you talking about, Brother Seven? I, Chen Luo, have the support of my family today. Especially Brother Seven, you gave up this position at the beginning, otherwise today's Zhe Chong Wei should be you, and I will be arranged by the family to do business..."

The Seventh Steward waved his hand and said, "I don't need to say such things. Seventh Brother, since I gave up, I gave up. The reason why I let you is because you are more suitable for the army, and I am good at business, so I became a merchant... …These things are private matters between us brothers, so there is no need to keep them in mind all the time, but what I’m going to say next, you must remember it as the most important thing.”

Armor General Chen Luo immediately puffed out his chest, and said solemnly: "Seventh Brother, please tell me, I promise to keep it in mind."

However, the seventh steward let out a breath slowly, and there was a sense of disbelief in his eyes. It seemed that although three days had passed, this incident still shocked him. He only heard him say slowly: "On three days A few days ago, the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty held a morning court in Youzhou. This morning court was held for a long time, and it is said that the court did not end until noon... But among the bigwigs who participated in the morning court this time, there were four people who had never been to the court. North Korean people."

"The Yin King of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiancheng!"

"Lord Youyun, Gu Tianya!"

"Princess Pingyang, Li Xiuning!"

"Prince Yunzhou, baby tiger!"

As the seven stewards said these four names, the armored general Chen Luo was visibly shaken, and subconsciously blurted out, full of disbelief: "This..."

It's a pity that he only uttered a word, but was interrupted by the seventh steward waving his hand, only to hear the seventh steward said again in a deep voice: "Although we are members of aristocratic family, in the eyes of the common people, we are the bells and whistles, but we know our own situation. , our identities are incomparable to those four just now..."

"Since the identities are so different, then we shouldn't guess the intention of these four big brothers to participate in the early court. Because guessing is useless, and the level difference between each other is too big. Even the three-year-old tiger baby , and what he sees and stands for is beyond our comprehension."

"So we don't speculate why they went to court, we only focus on what happened after they went to court."

When the seventh steward said this, he stared straight at the armored general, and suddenly let out another breath slowly, and said with a more serious face: "At this morning, Gu Tianya took out six kinds of new currency mother coins , it is said that the mother money of each new currency is beautiful and beautiful, which directly makes the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and even the emperor mesmerized. Gu Tianya also took the opportunity to make an agreement with those bigwigs that he will Take the mother money of the first batch of new coins as a prize..."

At this time, the chief executive spoke again, and said slowly with deep meaning: "This is a means of driving people away with profit, and it is also a fun game between big bosses. But for them it is a game, for them it is a game. For us, it is a gamble that we must desperately fight for..."

"Gambling?" The armored general was slightly taken aback.

The chief executive nodded slowly, and said: "Yes, bet. In fact, it is not only a bet, but also a fight. We must fight for time and lead the soldiers to the assembly place outside Youzhou City as quickly as possible. Once we can enter The top three, then Gu Tianya will reward the mother money of new coins."

The chief executive paused while talking, with a hint of longing in his eyes, and said: "It is said that there are six kinds of newly minted coins, but there are not only six mother coins of new coins. There are [-] coins of each type, and the total is [-] coins."

"Eighteen thousand pieces of mother's money sounds like a lot. But Datang is known as five hundred families, and if you add the rising new family of Tiance Mansion, it is more than a thousand... Each of these more than 1000 families has I want to get my mother's money."

"It is said that three days ago, there was a quarrel in the court hall, and those big bosses almost rolled up their sleeves to fight in the court hall. In the end, the emperor personally smoothed things over and asked Gu Tianya to set a competition rules for everyone. Only in this way can the big brother be calmed down. The emotions of the guys, but a new round of competition started at that moment."

The chief executive stopped talking, looked at the armored general, and said, "Chen Luo, you understand now."

With a serious face, Chen Luo nodded heavily, and said: "My nephew understands, no wonder you and Brother Seven came to inform me in person. It turned out that we were going to compete with other Zhechong mansions by competing for time. Receive Gu Tianya's reward."

This person is worthy of being a general specially trained by the Chen family in Luoyang. He quickly thought through the meaning of this matter, and couldn't help but said: "Although our Chen family in Luoyang is known as a family, it is only a Chinese family. Pin Shijia. Above us, there are dozens of powerful clans. If it weren't for Gu Tianya's rules for the competition, our Luoyang Chen family would not be qualified to participate in this matter at all..."

The person paused slightly, and said with admiration: "But when he sets the regulations for the competition, all families can only fight according to his regulations... This means that even the weakest family has Opportunities are rewarded."

The head manager looked to the north from a distance, and said with emotion on his face: "After the morning court ended that day, the head of the family hurried home. He told me that Gu Tianya's new currency is destined to promote the world. Not only will it promote the world, but also It will be handed down for hundreds of generations. And the mother coin of the new coin is only [-] pieces in total."

Chen Luo couldn't help opening his mouth, swallowed subconsciously and said, "There are only [-] pieces, but there are at least tens of millions of people in the whole world."

The chief manager gave him a meaningful look, and said with a hint: "The most important thing is that there will be no casting at present. Even after thousands of years, there will still be only so many, and even due to inheritance and circulation, there will be some Mother money scattered and disappeared, back then, the amount was less."

Chen Luo took a deep breath and said, "Thinking about it this way, this is a rare treasure."

The chief manager glanced at him again, and said, "But as the captain of Zhechong Mansion, you now have a chance to win one or even a few mother coins."

"I?"

The general in armor was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes erupted with frenzy. The man suddenly turned around, yelled at the soldiers in the distance, and said, "Speed ​​up, speed up, give this general the movement to pull out the camp faster, Lao Tzu"

Chapter 374 [Money is something that can make people pay everything]

I have a background in Datang. Chapter 374 of the main text volume [Money is something that can make people pay everything] Almost at the same time, other zhechong houses in various parts of Datang.

"Break camp, get rid of camp..."

"Where did the cooks die? Why haven't you lit a fire to cook? Did you take my general order as fart?"

"Stew the meat, use a big pot to stew the meat vigorously. To make every brother eat and drink enough, everyone has worked hard to fight for the first place."

"Remove the tent, immediately dismantle the tent for me. Within half an hour, we must set off."

There are Zhechong mansions all over the country, and each Zhechong mansion has a Zhechong captain. Because of the different regions of origin, the accent must be different.But no matter how different their accents are, their snarls all have one meaning.

That is, dismantling the tent and pulling out the camp.

The Zhechong Mansion in the Tang Dynasty followed the habits of the previous dynasties. Since the soldiers of the government were soldiers on weekdays and the people in war, the Zhechong Mansion used to recruit soldiers was very simple... This reason is relatively easy to understand, Zhechong It is wasteful for the government to build houses.

Why is it a waste, because the government soldiers will only come to assemble during wartime, and they will leave the camp soon after the assembly. Isn't it a waste to build houses in this case?

Although Zhechong Mansion does not build fixed houses, the soldiers of the mansion do not lack accommodation. I saw that the huge camp was densely packed with oilcloth tents, in different shapes and styles. Some oilcloth tents were relatively new, while others The tent was a bit old, but more of it was dilapidated and yellowed, and the oilcloth was patched and mended.

This is another characteristic of Zhechong Mansion in the Tang Dynasty.

After the government soldiers assembled, they lived in tents.

And these tents were not provided by Zhechong Mansion, but something that must be configured by the county government in various places.Whenever the imperial court issued a call-up, soldiers from all over the country gathered towards the Zhechong Mansion. At this time, the county government could not be idle, not only to do a good job in organizing and escorting, but also to provide certain guarantees...

For example, the oilcloth tents where the government soldiers lived, this stuff belongs to the subsidy that the county government must give.

However, the Tang Dynasty did not fight every day after all. The government soldiers spent most of their time farming at home. Therefore, for the county governments in various places, tents are not very important reserves... Generally speaking, this thing It must be in the warehouse, so as not to be unavailable when the court recruits soldiers, but it is not very useful on weekdays, so it can only be left in the warehouse to eat ashes.

And because the tents are made of oilcloth, the purchase price is relatively high, which makes the county governments in various places even more reluctant. Many county governments have refused to replace the oilcloth tents for many years.

If it is dirty, some female workers are hired to wash it.

If it's broken, buy some oilcloth to make a patch.

For the officials of the county government, this thing is purely for assessment.

But for the conscripted soldiers, every tent means their home when they joined the army.To protect against the wind and cold when it is cold, and to shelter from the rain when it rains, for the soldiers, this is their temporary home.

So they are always careful when dismantling the tent.

Especially for dilapidated tents, it is more gentle and caring...

This will inevitably slow down the speed of camping out.

However, what Zhechong captains want is speed!

then!

Shouts, roars, growls, and shouts of screaming, jumping up and down...

In Zhechong mansions all over the world, the roars of different shapes and colors all turned into the same meaning in the end, that is anxious and urgent urging...

……

Datang, east of Yaoshan.

This place was called Shandong in ancient times, which can be roughly understood as part of Shandong in later generations.

"Brothers, work harder, I, Cheng Shisan, will not talk to you as a general, but I, Cheng Shisan, will only send a request as a fellow villager, okay?"

"Brothers, uncles, I beg you all, please give us Jeju Dongah a sigh of relief."

"Speed ​​up, put away the tent, and after half an hour, we will set off immediately. This time, Cheng Shisan decided to fight. This time, our Cheng family also decided to fight."

This is a Zhechong mansion in Dong'e County, Jezhou Prefecture, Shandong Province. The man who serves as the captain of Zhechong in the mansion is named Cheng Shiqi.

From his mouthful, our Cheng family can know that this guy is probably a close friend from the Cheng family. Shandong people value love and righteousness, and they have an aggressive and straight temper. All thoughts are on the bright side.

So Cheng Shiqi didn't fool the soldiers under his command at all, but told all the secrets clearly.

He is not using the government soldiers, but asking the government soldiers for help.

However, it may be bad luck. During this season, there is heavy snow everywhere in Shandong, and under the ravages of cold wind, a drop of water can turn into ice.In this kind of weather, it is bound to be difficult to do things, but the soldiers in Zhechong's mansion are worthy of being from Shandong, and they gritted their teeth and roared angrily, making a scene of enthusiasm.

He even yelled.

Even sang songs.

"Brothers, work harder, love hey..."

"Tear down the tent quickly, love hey..."

In the sound of shouting, the tarpaulin tents were dismantled one by one, and every time a tent was dismantled, it would be quickly packed into bundles.

At this time, I must have seen a man from Shandong rushing over. Without saying a word, he directly carried the package on his shoulder. He roared, as if swearing to the sky: "You soldiers, don't worry, I will be responsible for carrying this tent. No matter how far Youzhou is, or how heavy this tent is. As long as I have breath, I will carry it all the time, to keep up with your big team, and to let you have tents to live in when you set up camp..."
