Chapter 166 Roaring Court

In this case, Yu Xiaotian thought that I couldn't be polite to you, so he immediately sat on the bench with a golden sword, without showing any awe or respect for Zou Weilian, and actually took out a

Tobacco, I just stuffed a pipe of cigarettes in the lobby, took out a somewhat clumsy lighter, clicked it a few times, and started puffing away.

When Zou Weilian saw Yu Xiaotian acting like this, he was immediately secretly angry. He felt that Yu Xiaotian didn't take him seriously as the governor at all, and was so arrogant in front of him. It seemed that the rumors were true. This guy

He is indeed domineering to the extreme.

So Zou Weilian coughed dryly and told Xiaotian that he didn't like the smell of cigarettes. However, instead of expecting it, Yu Xiaotian took out a box of hand-rolled cigars produced in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and handed it to Zou Weilian, saying:

Something smells like bucuo, sucks

After a few times, he got used to it. This was his treasure. He told Zou Weilian not to be polite, but he still smoked his pipe in a big way, as if he was an old man, not caring whether Zou Weilian liked the smell of smoke or not.

.

Zou Weilian almost fainted from anger, and almost got angry and scolded Yu Xiaotian for being presumptuous. However, considering that Yu Xiaotian had just returned to the army with a victory, he would be able to rely on him in the future and rely on him to solve some troubles in Fujian.

If there was a stalemate now, Yu Xiaotian might not listen to his greetings in the future because of the discord between civil and military forces, so he suppressed his anger.

Zou Weilian suppressed his anger and asked calmly about the situation of Yu Xiaotian's northward campaign to suppress the rebellion. Yu Xiaotian boasted carelessly and praised himself to the sky without looking at Zou Weilian's face at all.

Zou Weilian was waiting for Xiaotian to mention the ownership of Taiyuan Island, but before he could speak, Yu Xiaotian attacked first. Yu Xiaotian suddenly asked Zou Weilian why he took over the Fujian Province during the period when he was away from Fujian.

After becoming the governor, he stopped the pay of his soldiers and generals.

This war is very serious. Now the soldiers under his command are very unhappy. The soldiers under his command are very unhappy, and he is also very unhappy. If Zou Weilian does not make up for his military pay as soon as possible, the consequences will be very serious. Once if

If the officers and soldiers under his command were in trouble with their pay, he would not be able to bear the blame.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian asked Zou Weilian to hand over to him the salary that was short of him within a month and distribute it. Otherwise, he might not be able to suppress the soldiers and generals below.

Zou Weilian's nose was so angry that he almost grabbed the ruler and knocked Yu Xiaotian to the ground. He thought to himself, you guys control Fujian's sea trade. Just by collecting the sea fares from Weitou Bay, you are making a lot of money every day.

Jin, you actually came to me to force me to pay for the army as soon as you came back. This is too much.

However, he still patiently explained to Yu Xiaotian why he was in arrears of pay during this period, and this time he was not owed pay only for the soldiers and generals under Yu Xiaotian's command. Now all the soldiers and generals in Fujian were owed.

Didn't get military pay.

But Yu Xiaotian didn't admit this. He even refuted Zou Weilian's face and said, since everyone owed pay, he could tolerate this matter, but why did he hear that Fuzhou's Fubiao officers and soldiers did not have military pay?

What about the debt? Since Fu Biao's military salary has been paid, he cannot owe the military salary of his soldiers and generals.

Want to know the generals under his command, but the rebellion has just been put down, and they fought to death in Denglai, just to get military pay? Now they come back but can't get military pay, how to explain this to them?

Yu Xiaotian also told Zou Weilian that this time he led his troops north to suppress the rebellion, and his soldiers suffered heavy casualties, losing nearly half of them. The imperial court had issued a decree to provide compensation to these casualty soldiers in Fujian.

While providing the solution, Zou Weilian asked Zou Weilian to provide him with these pensions as well, otherwise he would not be able to face the families of those wounded and wounded soldiers.

As he said this, Yu Xiaotian had someone bring up a booklet with a list of casualties and generals, and presented it to Zou Weilian, saying that this time he went north to suppress the rebellion, and more than 2,400 of his generals were injured.

More than 1,900 people were killed.

According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, those who were slightly injured were given a pension of ten taels of silver, those who were seriously injured were given a pension of twenty taels of silver, and those who were killed in battle were given a pension of thirty taels of silver.

Calculated in this way, even based on the minimum calculation, it will cost at least 90,000 taels of silver. Among them, there are some generals like General Boss and Qian Boss whose pensions are higher, so Zou Weilian is asked to help him solve the problem of 100,000 taels of silver.

Compensation.

When Zou Weilian heard this, he almost fainted. Just now Yu Xiaotian asked for military pay, which already gave him a headache. Now he wants a pension of one hundred thousand taels. Where can he get so much money now?

After summer started in Fujian this year, there were successive typhoons, and grain production in various places was severely reduced. It was almost impossible to collect the taxes and extra payments stipulated by the court. Now Yu Xiaotian is asking for so much money for pension, and he has no place to go.

Settle the money.

So Zou Weilian had a sullen face and said that this matter was not easy to handle. At present, the treasury treasury in various places in Fujian simply could not come up with so much money, and asked Yu Xiaotian to wait for a while.

When Yu Xiaotian heard this, he stopped and stood up and said loudly: "Master Futai, what you said is wrong! We are soldiers and generals of the Ming Dynasty. It is our duty to serve the country, but it is natural for us to eat food and pay as soldiers.

things, and will eventually lead

Xiaerlang served his country, fought with the enemy on the battlefield, performed his duties faithfully, and died in battle. If Mr. Futai doesn't even think of a way to provide him with the minimum compensation, wouldn't these loyal and brave soldiers in the future feel chilled?

If Mr. Futai does not agree this time, then please forgive me for being a rough man and speaking in a bad manner. Then if you want to make the soldiers under your command work hard and sacrifice their lives again in the future, please forgive Mr. Futai for not using your words.

! As their commander-in-chief, Yu can’t even get military pay for them. If the soldiers who died in battle and were injured can’t even get pensions, how can Yu have the face to meet these soldiers and generals under his command?”

Although Yu Xiaotian's words were rough, they were reasonable and justified. He immediately made Zou Weilian blush and couldn't help it. He grabbed the gavel and slapped the big case hard.

, said angrily: "How presumptuous! Yu Xiaotian

, you must not forget that this is the lobby of the governor's office! I am the governor of Fujian, and you are here! I see that you have done a good job in suppressing the rebellion in the north, so I don't have to argue with you, but if you dare to do this again

, be careful I will drive you out with a stick!"

Yu Xiaotian sneered and said: "What a great official power! Bucuobucuo! Master Futai is indeed a Shangguan! He is so majestic, but the general is just complaining about the grievances of his brothers, so what is wrong with him?"

The last general led his troops all the way back in victory and made a special trip to see Master Futai. However, I didn’t expect that Master Futai would treat me and other soldiers who served the imperial court in this way. It is really disgusting!

Your Excellency, there is no need for someone to drive out the subordinates. In this case, General Mo will just leave on his own! Farewell! But General Futai must also tell Mr. Futai that no matter what, you must raise the military pay and pension on behalf of General Mo. The general will return to Weitou Bay first, and within a month, please send these military pay and pensions to the general. Otherwise, the general will definitely write a blood letter on behalf of those soldiers and report to the court to plead for their orders! Impeachment of Futai grown ups!

Why are you still standing there? Let's go!"

After Yu Xiaotian said loudly, he turned around and scolded the few guards who were following him, then walked away towards the door of the lobby with a flutter of sleeves.

There are also some officers in the governor's yamen. Seeing Yu Xiaotian yelling at the court and being so disrespectful to Mr. Futai, he actually left immediately. Moreover, Mr. Futai was trembling with anger and pointed at Yu Xiao. Tian shouted from behind: "How dare you do this? Come here! Stop him! Drive him out with a stick!"

The officers were almost crying. They had seen such a formation before! Mr. Futai must be the biggest in Fujian, but Mr. Yu is not easy to mess with! Mr. Yu is currently the number one general in Fujian, and he controls nearly three There are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, and they are all officers and soldiers who can fight and kill. If we beat him out with sticks, God knows what this man can do.

However, they cannot disobey Lord Futai's orders. They are just servants of the governor's yamen. If they don't obey Lord Futai's orders, wouldn't it be equivalent to destroying their own jobs afterwards?

So they had to hold the water and fire sticks cautiously, blocking Yu Xiaotian's way, but with helpless smiles on their faces, they nodded and bowed and said to Xiaotian: "General, calm down, general! This is a big deal, little one." There is nothing we can do! I hope the general will not take the blame!"

Several of the guards who were following Yu Xiaotian saw the officers coming forward to stop Yu Xiaotian. Who cares where this place is! They immediately rushed to the front of Yu Xiaotian with a bang, and with a choking sound, they pulled out their weapons. Liao Yaodao shouted: "Who dares to do harm to the general? Is he seeking death?"

These guards are all Yu Xiaotian's die-hard bodyguards. They only have Yu Xiaotian in their eyes. How could there be anyone else? They don't care where this place is. As long as anyone dares to harm Xiaotian, he is seeking death, even if he is the emperor. Lao Tzu, if they want to harm Xiaotian now, they still dare to draw their swords on the spot.

These guys have all followed Yu Xiaotian in pools of blood. They are very powerful in every way, and they all exude an awe-inspiring murderous aura. How can they be compared to those servants who hang around in the yamen all day long? These soldiers pulled out their knives, and the guards were so frightened that they almost peed their pants on the spot.

Yu Xiaotian was in a bad mood at the moment, but he also knew that using a knife to kill someone here would definitely not work, so he ordered the guards to retreat. He strode forward, raised his leg, and kicked the person blocking his way. A guard kicked him in the chest. This guy was unlucky. When he encountered an unreasonable guy like Yu Xiaotian, he screamed on the spot and flew backwards with a whoosh like a rocket. He fell on the steps a few meters away, without even touching the threshold. He fell onto the steps and rolled down.
