"You can go to the General Town, should you send someone to see you off?"

He Renlong laughed, nodded and bowed to send Taiyuan General Gao Ye away, then turned around and looked at a general manager beside him and said:

"You go back and wake them up and come here to guard the warehouse."

President Bai responded, turned around and left.

After a while, about 800 people came from the south. Unlike before, these officers and soldiers were all fierce and energetic.

These people are He Renlong's subordinates.

In the second year of Tianqi, the Ministry of War inspected the military lists in various places, and He Renlong reported it to the amount of 1,050 people. Like everyone else, he also received a vacant salary.

Of course, in this day and age, it is rare to not get a job without a job. Almost no one in the local garrison has reported the amount.

He Renlong reported about a hundred more people, and compared with other thousand generals, this is really not many.

Since the court has not owed food and pay much in recent years, the military pay of more than 100 people was added, He Renlong used it to raise family members.

He Renlong is now the Qiang General, and he doesn’t have many servants under his command, just over twenty.

In the same example, the Qiang General, who was scolded by Gao Ye, was called Fan Shaosheng, had more than 500 subordinates, but he had received a full payment of 1,100 soldiers.

Compared to He Renlong, the empty salary he earned was scary.

Fan Shaosheng and He Renlong are both direct subordinates of Taiyuan General Gao Ye. In addition to the two of them, there are more than a dozen such generals in Taiyuan City.

There were more than a dozen thousand generals, and everyone falsely reported their troops.

Gao Ye, as the general officer, knew about these situations, but he couldn't control them at all.

No matter whether civil officials or generals have known this kind of thing, they have either already known it or have falsely reported the amount. Basically everyone is a "comrade".

If you look at it in a straightforward way, all the officers, soldiers and generals in Taiyuan will be punished.

What's more, even he, the general of Taiyuan, had no choice. In the second year of Tianqi, Gao Ye reported to the Ministry of War that Taiyuan Tun was 24,000 troops.

This number of people has already made the Ministry of War very unsatisfied, but it is still acceptable.

Even so, Gao Ye still reported a lot of false reports. The actual number of people under his command was only more than 18,000, and a considerable number of them were temporarily found by the elderly, weak, sick and disabled last year to make up for the numbers.

This is not Gao Ye’s fault? It is not He Renlong’s fault? This is the consequence of the collapse of the local garrison system.

From the general to the general, and then from the general to the general officer? They have no ability to affect this situation at all.

If the situation does not change? The situation will only continue to worsen.

If this continues for about ten years, it will reach the point in the Chongzhen period in history? At first glance, there are many local officers and soldiers, and the military list is also sufficient.

But when you really make a thief, you know that it is basically all empty? The false report has reached several times more than you think now.

How void was the local armaments during the Chongzhen period?

The bandits captured cities and land in the Central Plains. A county town that should have been guarded by at least 8,000 officers and soldiers actually had less than 3,000 people to fight.

Only half of these three thousand people are young and strong.

A large state city? Should there be tens of thousands of officers and soldiers guarding the city? But when the bandits attacked the city, only a few thousand old, weak, sick and disabled.

Such a number of people faces a tide like tens of thousands, more than 100,000, like a tide? Even if the officers and soldiers are holding swords and guns, even if the trenches are pitchforks and sticks, then it is impossible to defend them.

Fortunately, the situation is still possible to reverse now.

Zhu Youxiao made a free move in the court? He was about to start rectifying the local situation.

In addition to preparing for the future famine, Zhu Xieyuan was sent to Shanxi and Shaanxi to serve as the governor of the country. The main thing was to find out the falsely reported soldiers in various places? Rectify the armament? Draft the old and exchange the new.

......

After hearing the news that the Governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi was about to come to the granary to inspect the granary early in the morning, He Renlong was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night. It was said that he was patrolling people all night, for fear of something going wrong.

He was so excited that he didn't fall asleep, but Zhu Xieyuan didn't have any sleepiness at all.

In the side room of the Governor's Office, Zhu Xieyuan and Taiyuan Prefect Qi Jingwei sat opposite each other across the coffee table.

In addition to the two of them, several local officials also sat down. Qi Jingwei pointed to a document placed on the table and frowned and said:

"The granary matter has been ordered. General Gao replaced General Qian who guarded the granary overnight. There should be no problem."

Zhu Xieyuan nodded and asked:

"Who guards the granary?"

At this time, an official in charge of handover replied:

"The former name was Fan Shaosheng, and he had been sent by General Gao to guard the horse tent. Now this is He Renlong. I heard that war is a good move."

"Governor General, is it... severely punishing Fan Shaosheng to serve as a warning to You?"

Although Zhu Xieyuan was a civil servant, he understood the thoughts of military generals and soldiers better than anyone else.

When he was in Liaodong, the generals of the seven border towns asked him to be in a good way. Even the Jiang family dared not disobey him at all, let alone the small soldiers and generals in these places.

Zhu Xieyuan's eyes moved slightly, and he knew in his heart that he had just arrived, and establishing his authority was not the best choice, mainly to regain the hearts of the people.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and said:

"It's not possible now. Go to the horse pan to pass on a message to Mr. Qian named Fan Shaosheng, and say that there are a nest of bandits hidden in Mengshan, and ask him to lead troops to suppress the troops."

"If the thief is successfully suppressed, I will promise him to repay his merits and demerits."

The civil officials didn't understand Zhu Xieyuan's intention to do this, but they thought that the latter would first supervise the southwest and then the Liaodong. This would definitely make sense, so they didn't say much and nodded.

"You must all remember that the people come to join the army just to find a way out. The government's fault should not be imposed on the head of the generals."

"The local military arrears are not a day or two. This is a problem left over from all dynasties. Only by consolidating people's hearts can we win a surprise."

Zhu Xieyuan said this and stood up and said:

"Now the court has always paid food and wages on time every month. If handled properly, the process of rectifying the garrison will be smooth."

"If the forced force is too urgent and causes a mutiny, it will be more than worth the cost."

The officials looked at each other and nodded.

Zhu Xieyuan found that it was already dawn and sighed in his heart. He had not slept for another night. He shook his head, smiled slightly, and said with his hands behind his back:

"Everyone accompanied the governor out for a walk and inspect the current Taiyuan city."

......

"He's a slap, Gao Ye doesn't treat us as human beings!"

Fan Shaosheng sat in the military tent, his face full of dissatisfaction and resentment.

A servant sighed heavily and said, "Stop talking, Gao Ye has always been the one who allows himself to eat meat and not let us drink soup!"

"This time the granary was built, and our brothers also had a contribution. After finding such an excuse, he kicked us away directly. Isn't it just that he wanted to take this contribution alone?"

Fan Shaosheng's face was gloomy and said:

"I don't know what the governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi will do to us this time. I have already thought about it. If the punishment is too severe, we might as well go to Mengshan to get rid of the weeds!"

"It is better to be a bandit and rob a family than to be angry with this bird in this military camp!"

Upon hearing this, a servant suddenly remembered something and said:

"It seems that we have to make plans early. Zhu Xieyuan is famous in the southwest and Liaodong. Last time he supervised the seven-sided commander to come out of the pass, the military rules along the way were extremely strict. I heard that even the general of Shanhaiguan was later executed."

"As soon as Gao Ye reported to him with fire, we will suffer."
