Chapter 700 : Strategies Against the Enemy
Lan Yu smiled and said, "Wu Renjie was originally a hundred households in the hands of Zhao Pusheng, a general under Xu Shouhui. Zhao Pusheng, together with Yu Tingyu and his son (Yu Tonghai, Yu Tongyuan, Yu Tongyuan, Yu Tongyuan, and Yu Yong'an brothers (brother Liao Yongzhong), used Chaohu as the base to develop a navy, and had a thousand naval troops. In the twelve years, Zhao Pusheng and others cooperated with the Tianwan army to capture the Taiping routes, and then captured Wuwei, Tongling, Chizhou, Anqing and other places in Anhui, occupying Hukou and Pengze areas in Jiangxi. Thirteen years, Tianwan Capital fell, and Zhao Pusheng retreated to Chaohu to build a village to protect himself. Wu Renjie just surrendered to the lord's lord's position as a hundred household in the Left Strike Army when he saw that the situation was not good. The lord hated this person and did not want to take in this person, but he was afraid that he would lose the statement of the lord's courtesy and ruthlessness, so he reluctantly let him serve as a hundred household in the Left Strike Army."
Xiao Yun didn't expect that a small household had such a tortuous story, and couldn't help but say, "So what?"
Seeing that Xiao Yun was a little confused, Lan Yu said, "Sir, I don't know anything. Although Wu Renjie is not a hundred households, in addition to being in charge of the 100 soldiers under his command, he is also in charge of the distribution of food and grass for the army?"
"The distribution of grain and grass?" Xiao Yun looked like he didn't understand. Lan Yu smiled slightly when he saw it. Sun Tzu said, "Sun Tzu said, "Sun Tzu, "Running chariots, thousands of chariots, 100,000 armors, and feeding grains for thousands of miles, and the cost of internal and external expenses. The use of guests, the materials of glue paint, the chariots and armors, cost a thousand gold a day, and then a hundred thousand troops will be promoted. Therefore, the wise generals are responsible for eating the enemy, and eating the enemy for one bell, and I will be twenty bells; the stalks are one stone, and I will be twenty stones. Wu Baihu is in charge of the food and grass for 20,000 soldiers of the Left Strip Army. He has various gang generals, guards, thousands of households, hundreds of households, and school soldiers. Such a large grain and grass is in his hands, and the profit is great. He secretly asked his confidants to pretend to be soldiers in the army, use their power to deduct food and grass, and make huge profits from it. Many soldiers in the army dared to be angry but did not dare to speak!"
For example, most of the soldiers of the Left Strike Army nowadays have some fixed military pay, and occasionally they will discount the food and grass. Each of the Wu Baihu deducts one or two taels of food from it. The 20,000 soldiers deducts hundreds of stones of food from it every month. In the cumulative amount of food in a year, at least thousands of stones have been added. All of these foods fall into the hands of Wu Baihu, and then they are resold in all directions, so you can make huge profits. So don’t think that he is just a small 100 family, and there are many unethical things he does!”
Xiao Yun was stunned when he heard this. A small hundred households were doing such blatant embezzlement of food and grass, let alone other official positions? Xiao Yun remembered the record in "Ming History amp;#8226; Biography of Xun Officials": "The order was for a while and feared the law" and "the administration was unchanged." It was said that one year, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered a surprise inspection of officials from the Ministry of Works and found that Han Duo, Li Zhen and his subordinates had mostly received and deducted craftsmen's Immigration and more than 2,500 craftsmen were sold at one time. He immediately issued an edict to severely punish them, and several stolen officials were subject to strict law. The following year, Zhang Xiang, the Minister of Rites, and the Minister of Rites, and Junqin, embezzled the silver and money from the emperor's wedding, Xu Yi, the magistrate of Jianchang, collected taxes and grain and cheated, Jinwu Guard Governor Jin's embezzled military pay, etc., all of them became ghosts under the knife.
After that, Zhu Yuanzhang clearly stipulated in the "Da Ming Law" that "all officials who embezzled and obtained more than 60 taels of stolen goods" will be punished with severe punishment of "beheading and skinning and solid grass", and will not be tolerated." Unexpectedly, these small households are not afraid of death.
"Since you have this, it's easy to deal with?" Xiao Yun's heart sneer flashed. He stood up, frowned in his tent, and walked for a few steps with his hands behind his back. After pondering for a while, he said decisively: "Even if Wang Qiang cannot be removed, this pest cannot be left in the army. You will leave the army tonight and use all your strength. Be sure to find evidence of this person's deducting food and grass, and focus on investigating him for me. As for Wang Qiang, the trick of killing chickens and showing monkeys, I think it's time to restrain myself!"
Since becoming his confidant, Lan Yu admired this approach very much, so after hearing this, he did not act immediately, but calmed down and smiled: "Sir, there is no need to investigate this matter secretly!"
"Don't investigate?" Xiao Yun was stunned when he heard this, and slowly turned around and looked at Lan Yu with an incomprehensible expression. Although he learned from later generations that the young man in front of him was extraordinary and brave in combat would be an amazing person in the future, but that was on the battlefield, and he was investigating other people's handles in front of him. Can you find the handle without checking?
Lan Yu seemed to see through Xiao Yun's thoughts, smiled and said, "From the perspective of his humbleness, Wu Renjie has a close relationship with Wang Qiang. With Wang Qiang's shrewdness, he would not be unable to see Wu Renjie's trick. Maybe it was the two of them who conspired to punish Wang Qiang. If the adults were interested in punishing Wang Qiang, they would try beating Wang and pulling Wu, and maybe there would be unexpected results!"
Xiao Yun naturally agreed with Lan Yu's judgment. He smiled and said, "This is a good way, why didn't I expect it? Or does General Lan have a way?"
Lan Yu hurriedly said: "Old adults are kind and righteous, so naturally they don't use these methods. The gentleman's methods are not applicable to dealing with such villains. Naturally, they need to use some villains' methods?"
"Not bad, not bad!" Xiao Yun nodded repeatedly. The so-called relatives and relatives are just a saint's talk. To deal with villains like Wu Renjie, you must be a villain and a villain's way!"
The night after dusk always comes so fast. At this time, Wang Qiang's tent was brightly lit, and Wang Qiang sat upright in the Eight Immortals table, next to it was Wu Renjie and his confidants.
Wang Qiang held the wine bowl and raised his head to drink a large bowl of strong wine, and then praised: "Good wine, good wine, Lord Hu's craftsmanship is getting better and better. It seems that this year's daughter is going to sell it again! Are we here now?"
"Yes, yes! Everything depends on the blessing of my grandfather..." A group of confidants clamored insincerely, but Wu Renjie looked worried.
He glanced at Wang Qiang's daughter Hong, who was holding in his hand, and called out hesitantly: "Sir..."
"What's wrong?" Wang Qiang looked sideways and glanced at Wu Renjie, seeing his bitter face, and his face showed displeasure.
Wu Renjie said: "This little guy is not easy to deal with... sir...?"
"Why are you afraid..." Wang Qiang said sternly.
