Troubled Times: Start with 800 Dead Soldiers

Su Xia was very excited about making guns and cannons here.

Here, the prefect Zhou Bin's heart felt a little cold. After such a thing as "killing a good person to take credit" happened, appeasing the people was the first priority.

But isn’t this Zhang Ence, who kills thousands of people, making a fool of himself? If Master Xu, the Imperial Censor, finds out about this and asks the official (emperor) for a copy of it, then I will not be useless!

After not sleeping well all night, he called Zhang Ence the next day and started yelling curses!

Zhou Bin cherishes his feathers very much. After all, he still hopes that he can have a smooth career in his career.

The people under my command are messing around, how can this happen!

But Zhou Bin scolded him, and Zhang Ente denied it at first.

It wasn't until Zhou Bin threw the confession signed by Wang Ying and others in his face that Zhang Ence reluctantly explained: "My lord, my lord, my lord, this matter was done by the subordinate team leader and has nothing to do with me. !"

"You should be dismissed from your post and investigated! Handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for investigation!"

Zhou Bin said everything angrily, and Jiang Tongpan came from the side with a red face: "Master Zhang, why don't you quickly admit your mistake to me?"

At this moment, Zhang Ente was stunned for a moment, but he soon understood that he was a fish and a human being.

He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed as if he were pounding garlic: "I know I'm wrong. I know I'm wrong. Please save my life. Please save my life."

Jiang Tongpuan added intentionally or unintentionally: "Master Zhou and I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. You have done such a wrong thing yourself, so naturally you need a scapegoat, compensation to those people, and... to clear things up for you." Sir, see for yourself."

Saving one's life is important nowadays.

Zhang Ence never dares to make any demands. Jiang Tongpuan nodded and said: "Then 5000 taels of silver! That's not too much."

"Thank you sir, thank you sir."

The prefect Zhou Bin and Jiang Tongpan easily squeezed Zhang Ence's 5000 taels of silver!

Of course, this matter did not escape Su Xia's eyes.

Of course Su Xia knew that Zhou Bin, Jiang Tongpan, and Zhang Ence were not good people.

But Su Xia's current strength is not enough to directly compete with the entire court. The most important thing is that he needs the support of more people.

He also needs Zhou Bin's support. Now, he is still trying to survive in the cracks.

Ten years of sharpening the sword!

Su Xia does not need ten years to prove herself, but this situation cannot be ended overnight.

At the most lively market in Dengzhouwei, the common people followed the "Dwarf Tiger Wang Ying" and other pirates who were parading in the street for several times, and finally landed in front of the Pinghai Navy recruitment stage.

The common people on the three floors inside and outside surrounded the recruiting platform.

The Pinghai Navy recruitment flags and recruitment notices have also been hung high in the air.

The people were talking a lot and looking at everything in front of them curiously.

They looked curiously at the capable sergeants standing solemnly on the left and right. These were all burly men over 1.8 meters tall, each holding a saber in their hands. They looked so majestic.

In the crowd, someone asked: "Are you recruiting soldiers?"

Vice Admiral Li Dong nodded: "Yes, our Pinghai Navy is recruiting troops. The pirates you saw being captured this time were our Pinghai Navy's doings.

In the fierce battle the day before yesterday, we wiped out more than 100 pirates and injured two ourselves. Look to the east, that is the supplies our navy captured from the pirates. "

The east side that Li Dong pointed to indeed showed the weapons and supplies used by the pirates.

These physical evidences undoubtedly speak for themselves and make the people nod in agreement.

"You Ping Haijun are so powerful. You killed hundreds of pirates and only injured two of them. You are truly a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general!"

"Yes, that soldier team said they killed twelve pirates, but they were all civilians."

......

The common people's discussions fully illustrate the difference between Ping Haijun and Dengzhou Xiang soldiers.

The two armies are at odds with each other!

A school captain said: "Dear fellow villagers, it's all thanks to our Navy Master Su's military skills that our brothers can win the war! If you want to join the army, sign up on the recruitment day! The treatment will be favorable! Three hundred coins per month, as long as After signing, Mr. Su said that as long as everyone signs the contract, each person will receive a hundred cents in advance!"

A young man asked with disbelief: "Is this true?"

"Of course, look, you can sign up at that table, if the registration is approved, the money will be distributed on the spot!"

The crowds are surging, and more and more people are gathering together.

On the table in front of the recruiting desk, the literati in charge of registration kept plowing his pen.

The person in charge of this recruitment was Vice Admiral Li Dong of the Navy. The article on his back highlighted two points. The first was that military pay was as high as that of the Navy, 300 Wen per person per month, and military pay would never be deducted. The second was that soldiers died in battle. In addition to the pension mentioned by the court, family members can continue to receive military pay for ten years!

These two items were proposed by Su Xia. He recruits troops entirely on voluntary basis!

But if there is no money, it will definitely not be possible to recruit soldiers.

Due to the high salary, there was a long queue of young people to sign up. In one morning alone, there were as many as a thousand people signing up for Dengzhou Guard.

At the home of Zhang Ence, the team training leader, Zhang Ence was furious. He asked for credit but did not receive it. Instead, he lost 5000 taels of silver!

His entire wealth and life were placed in the hands of others.

5000 taels of silver! I almost lost all my underwear!

Zhang Ente's rage is actually conceivable.

Even when I saw lotus flowers, I was not interested!

Shi Qiantian cautiously approached him: "Sir, I heard that the Pinghai Navy has begun to recruit new soldiers. There are many people signing up, as many as a thousand!"

Zhang Ence closed his eyes tightly, and Shi Qiantian said indifferently: "Sir, I also heard that Su Xia and the others had a fierce battle with the pirates. The short-legged tiger Wang Ying was captured, and Ye Ye's groom Du Kang was captured by them. killed. "

Seeing that Zhang Ence was still silent, Shi Qiantian continued: "Sir, they said they killed hundreds of pirates, but two of them were injured."

"Fart, it's all fart, how is that possible?"

Even now, he still refuses to believe the battle loss ratio between Su Xiaping's navy and the pirates.

Zhang Ence could only be incompetent and furious. He now felt like a eunuch visiting a brothel - unable to express his strength.

Obviously, he wants to kill Su Xia, but he definitely doesn't have the ability now.

After gasping for breath for a long time, he continued to ask: "Dwarf Tiger Wang Ying was really captured by them?"

"It's absolutely true. He's being held in prison now. This morning he was taken out by the Pinghai Navy and paraded on the streets!"

"Fucking bastards! Zhou Bin, Su Xia, you all point to Wang Ying, the short-footed tiger, to get results, but I won't give you this chance."

Shi Qiantian was stunned and his eyes widened: "Sir, what do you want?"

"I'm going to kill these bastards!"

Shi Qiantian was stunned: Who did Zhang Ence call a bastard?

Is Zhang Ence, the incompetent and furious Zhang Ence who was bullied to death, talking about the prefect Zhou Bin or the navy commander Su Xia?
