Chapter 89 Success

Zuo Liangyu was born in Kunshan. Although Ding Qirui was dissatisfied with him in his heart, as a scholar, he must at least be good at showing off his appearance. Therefore, we usually communicate with each other and the verbal addresses are very close to each other.

But when Ding Qirui finished his greeting and saw Zuo Liangyu in military uniform, he suddenly felt bad.

His face darkened slightly, and he said: "Kunshan is dressed in military uniforms. Could it be that he wants to send troops again? It's not that I am being cautious, it's actually that the armies of all parties have not been prepared properly. Sun Baigu is still recruiting troops in Guanzhong, Hou Ruogu is still in Panhuan, Hebei, and the intruders are in danger. We have millions of soldiers, don’t start a war easily!”

Ding Qirui once served as an official under Sun Chuanting. Sun Chuanting had a bad temper and had a normal relationship with Ding Qirui. This time, Hou Xun was ordered to supervise the troops and horses in the seven towns of Baoding. In fact, Ding Qirui's rights were divided. Ding Qirui, as the supervisor of the suppression of thieves, commanded the troops and horses of the towns north of the Yangtze River. Originally, the seven towns of Baoding were also among them, but because of his After repeated efforts failed, Emperor Chongzhen sent Hou Xun to supervise the Ding soldiers. Now even Yang Wenyue, who was still in Huguang, was no longer a follower of Ding Qirui.

Because Yang Wenyue is the governor of Baoding.

Ding Qirui doesn't want to start a war, partly because of fear, but also because of his own little thoughts.

According to his idea, even if a war were to begin, he, Ding Qirui, would have to wait until Sun Chuanting and Hou Xun sent troops. Because he, Ding Qirui, was the supervisor of the suppression of thieves, both Hou Xun and Sun Chuanting should be nominally under his control - the most powerful people are often the last to appear. This is a matter of face.

The internal decay of the Ming Dynasty has reached such an extent that it will probably be destroyed in just a few days.

This was not the first time that he used unprepared words to deal with Zuo Liangyu. Zuo Liangyu didn't feel surprised after hearing this.

But he clasped his fists and said, "The good superintendent knows that there is a major event here and we must send troops."

When Ding Qirui heard this, his expression suddenly darkened. He rolled his sleeves and said, "What's the big deal!"

Zuo Liangyu took out the document Zhang Shi had brought from his belt: "The supervisor will know it at a glance."

Ding Qirui took the document with a look of confusion on his face. After reading it, his face became wet.

"Trash! Trash!" He was extremely angry: "What does Zheng Yunzhi do for a living?! He failed in such an important task, causing the army's salary to fall into the hands of thieves. He deserves to die! I must join him!"

There was a hint of disdain in Zuo Liangyu's eyes, which disappeared in an instant.

Is this the time to take part in a book?

Military pay!

Zuo Liangyu said: "Supervisor, military pay is of great importance. If there is no military pay, the three armies will have no fighting spirit. Without fighting spirit, they will not be able to exterminate the bandits and live up to the emperor's expectations. Although Zheng County Magistrate has lost his military pay, he still has feelings for him. It is understandable that someone leaked the news and attracted a large number of thieves. Magistrate Zheng had no soldiers and generals and was helpless. Magistrate Zheng was also trying to make amends. He had selected five thousand young men to fight to the death in Ye County. Bring in the rebels for reinforcements. Supervisor, time is running out. Although Magistrate Zheng has 5,000 young men, he lacks armor and has not been trained. In my opinion, the limit is to hold off the rebels for three to five days at most. If we don't take advantage of these three to five days to regain the military pay, things will be difficult to handle when the rebel reinforcements arrive."

How could Ding Qirui not know the truth? He was extremely entangled in his heart, but he finally understood the importance of the two million taels of military pay.

Once this news leaks out, the three armies will definitely be in an uproar. How can we still fight?

Maybe he will collapse.

Zuo Liangyu saw what he was thinking and kept saying: "Supervisor, the thief Hao Yaoqi took away the military salary. He wanted to take it all for himself, so he didn't publicize it. If he publicizes it, what should you and I do? In the first round of suppressing thieves, military pay is the most important thing. Without military pay, how can those arrogant and brave generals under the general’s command be willing to listen to the general? Maybe they will kill you and me and run away in a swarm. What will we do then? "

Ding Qirui still struggled: "But is Zheng Yunzhi's document credible?"

Zuo Liangyu said without hesitation: "It's credible. Supervisor, Magistrate Zheng lost his military pay, which is a serious crime. If he wants to redeem himself, he can only rely on the Supervisor! Only the Supervisor orders the military pay to be taken back, Zheng Yunzhi This can be regarded as a crime and meritorious service."

After hearing this, Ding Qirui couldn't help but think: "I know Zheng Yunzhi. He is from the south of the Yangtze River, and his family has been scholarly for generations. There is no doubt about his loyalty to the court and the emperor. He must redeem his faults here, otherwise his family will be ruined." Xiaodu can't escape the blame..."

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind with great difficulty: "That's it. Kunshan, if you want to send troops, you must be more careful and faster. Otherwise..."

Zuo Liangyu was overjoyed and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Commander, the general has some plans in mind!"

Then he said: "General, I will go down and prepare now. I will send out troops tomorrow to get back the military pay."

...

"Commander Zuo, how's it going?"

Ma Shixiu asked immediately when he saw Zuo Liangyu coming out of Ding Qirui's house.

Zuo Liangyu smiled slightly: "It's done."

Zuo Mengeng on the side clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Now it's good. Two million taels of silver, haha, handsome father, this is much better than robbing ordinary people."

Zuo Liangyu glared at Zuo Mengeng: "How can you talk in such a big crowd?!"

Zuo Mengeng chuckled.

Zuo Liangyu said seriously: "You two go down and get ready. We can't do it today. We will send troops tomorrow and we will fight at night!"

"Night fight?"

Zuo Mengeng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "That's right, killing the thief is not important, getting the two million taels of silver first is the most important. The best thing is to do it at night."

Zuo Liangyu nodded: "Shixiu go down immediately and don't stop until the night is over. First, let me explore the area around the Bai River Valley. Zheng Yunzhi's news may not be accurate."

Ma Shixiu understood.

Later, Zuo Liangyu met Zhang Shi again, told him that he had asked for the order from the supervisor to send troops, and sent Zhang Shi away.

After Zhang Shi and his companions left Yuzhou City for several nights, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

One person said: "Boss, what do you mean, sir, is to use our people as bait?"

Zhang Shi glared at him first and then said: "Things have changed in Ye County. This was not the original plan. But now we have to do this."

Several people nodded.

Zombies actually appeared, which was naturally unbelievable. Although there are many folk legends, they are just legends. But if it does happen, it's no small matter.

Originally, we should focus on this side, but now we have to deal with Ye County first.

"Let's go meet the two thieves later." Zhang Shi took a breath: "Don't expose the truth."

"Don't worry, boss. Zuo Liangyu didn't show any clues here. I'm afraid the thieves who come here are not as good as Zuo Liangyu, right?" Several people laughed.

Zhang Shi chuckled: "No matter what you do, you can't be careless."

So he quietly avoided the wilderness and chose a hidden place. After leaving Yuzhou City, he first went to Hao Yaoqi's camp, pretended to be a bandit, and told Hao Yaoqi some 'news'. Then he went to see Liu Zongmin, and then told him Liu Zongmin received some 'news' and then left safely, turned around and sneaked to the Bai River Valley.
