Chapter 665 Emma, Really Smells
The evacuation of Cang County has begun, but many old people, like the old people in the village named Hong, choose to stay and not leave.
Their reasons are varied, and the most common one is that their ancestral land is here and they can’t live without it!
But some of them didn't have that many tricks, so they were carried and carried away by the soldiers, cursing them all the way.
As the army withdrew, Da Gan was not a fool and soon discovered the clues.
"dash forward!"
Under a mountain stronghold, a general from Daqian commanded the troops to rush forward. Then he looked at the deserted mountain stronghold with a pale face.
"Isn't it said that the water around it is impenetrable and not even a mosquito can fly in?"
"Everyone who steps on the horse has finished running!"
The officer next to the commander looked embarrassed. Can you blame him?
Let’s not talk about how difficult these rebels are to defeat. Let’s just say that they are not locals. How do they know that there are secret passages and trails in these places?
The most important thing is that they can't defeat the rebels if they have fewer people, and the rebels won't fight them if they have more people. If you attack the rebels and gain fortification, what can they do?
Siege, they are indeed under siege, and they can guarantee that as long as the main roads are heavily guarded, they will also have soldiers patrolling other places.
but,
but,
You can't delay everyone's making money!
Let's talk about these rebels. Even if they have enough food to eat, their weapons, arrows, armor, etc., can they really give birth to babies on their own and then increase their numbers on their own?
Someone didn’t give it to these rebels!
Don't they know these things?
Don’t the soldiers below know these things?
No, no, no, everyone knows!
But these people who send supplies to the rebels give them money!
The most important thing is that these people also want to make money from the rebels. The money earned is still divided into [-]-[-] accounts, [-]% for them and [-]% for those people.
On the one hand, there is free money, on the other hand, there is nothing to be gained by killing the rebels, and there is also the possibility of sacrifice, which is a choice that everyone can choose!
Also, if the imperial court is in arrears with payment, or directly embezzles the soldiers' salary, everyone will only have this little thing in their hands. If you put three arrows in front of the battle, you can be regarded as loyal to the emperor and patriotic!
These days, if someone can bring them so much money, why should they go against them?
You say they are rebels!
Nonsense, they are clearly our food and clothing parents! !
Therefore, they were loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and deployed heavy troops to guard the traffic arteries. As long as the rebels did not march on a large scale, they would naturally be considered to be watertight.
Now that people have run away, their source of money and food has been cut off.
For a moment, except for the furious general, the other soldiers and officers all felt disappointed.
The long-term meal ticket they finally found was just gone!
"Report..."
There was a long announcement, and a messenger came quickly.
"Lord Qi, we discovered a large amount of money left by the rebels!"
The commander-in-chief was stunned for a moment, then he felt happy and said, "Lead the way!"
Soon everyone came to a room similar to a warehouse, where several large boxes were placed.
"Open!"
As the boxes were opened one by one, the eyes of all the soldiers lit up, but the eyes of the commander-in-chief dimmed.
Because if nothing else, these boxes contained a large amount of money, but very little silver, mainly copper coins.
So it doesn’t look like there are several big boxes, but there are actually not many!
Naturally, the general will be disappointed.
But soldiers are different. How much food and salary can they get in a year? If everyone can enrich themselves with these boxes of copper coins, it will be a lot!
"Sir, there is a note in this box!"
"Bring it up!"
"Yes!"
The commander-in-chief took the note, and his nose was almost crooked with anger for a moment. The officer beside him couldn't help but stretched his head to take a look, and then his face turned dark.
I saw it written on the note.
"Thank you very much for your help over the past few months. So after much thought, we left all this money to you as a token of our gratitude!"
Now, no matter how stupid the commander-in-chief is, he knows that someone in the army is colluding with the thieves, and since he doesn't know, it means that most of the people in the army are involved.
So the commander-in-chief looked at the officer next to him with an unkind expression, and the officer touched his nose in embarrassment.
"This, that, my lord, you know that the salary issued by the imperial court is too small and not enough at all, and the soldiers rarely receive sufficient pay, so..."
The commander-in-chief understood what he said and tore the note in his hand into pieces.
"These copper coins should be divided among everyone. Remember, everyone has a share. Do you understand?"
The officers and soldiers looked happy and said, "Thank you, sir!"
"Ok!"
The commander turned around and left with an expressionless face, returned to the tent calmly, and just sat down, feeling completely exhausted.
It wasn't because of anything else, but because he thought of something after the officer finished answering.
It was a good thing that he and others were officers and soldiers of the imperial court. Otherwise, relying on the money given by the rebels during this period, the soldiers under his command would probably mutiny and chop off their heads at night!
But he also knew very well that he couldn't settle the score with them now that he found out.
If not for anything else, it was because the involvement was too deep. If he dared to pursue the case, he would dare to 'die in battle' in front of all the soldiers.
Therefore, at this time, he understood very well that during this period of time, he had been wandering on the line of life and death, and he had just walked on the line of death again.
"It's great to be alive!"
The commander-in-chief wiped the sweat from his face and said, "It seems that the soldiers cannot be chosen from the army. It is my own children who are more reliable!"
"No, none of my own disciples told me about this matter. They were either kept secret or they were also involved."
"So, even the younger ones in the family must be the kind who can't get out of the fifth level!"
Thinking of this, the commander-in-chief immediately made up his mind, "When I return, I will change my soldiers immediately!"
At this moment, the voice of a family soldier sounded outside the camp.
"Sir, are you here?"
The commander-in-chief wiped the sweat from his face and ignored the moisture in his armor. After sitting upright, he said:
"Come in!"
After the soldiers came in, they were all smiles.
"Second Young Master, do you think what I brought you?"
As he said that, the soldier took out a stack of paper from his arms. After the commander took it, he found that it was a piece of land deed, with all the information on it included.
Just listen to the soldier say: "All these land deeds were signed before the rebels captured Cang County, and now they all belong to our family!"
"It's just that this needs to be done secretly, and no one else can know!"
Seeing this, the commander-in-chief couldn't understand what was going on, and then he grinned.
It seems that this personal soldier does not need to be replaced at all.
Emma, it smells so good! !
