Chapter 915 Do you have any collateral?

Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp are a difficult thing.

The officers and soldiers of the second battalion were regular troops of the Ming Dynasty. If Beijing fell, the three camps of Nandu would be 100% of the imperial guards in the Beijing camp.

In his previous life, when Hongguang crossed south, the eunuch Lu Jiude was the officers and soldiers of the three camps. Later, Gao Qiqian led the army, and the support of the troops in the four towns in Jiangbei, ensured that Hongguang succeeded to the throne.

Unfortunately, there is a strong city to rely on and tens of thousands of soldiers available in Nanjing City, but it even opened the door without a single shot and surrendered.

The heroes and officials in Nanjing should all die, and they are so stupid that they are not as good as those of the Manchus.

The Manchu and Tartars defended Nanjing twice, one success, and at least ten days at the same time!

Huang Degong vomited blood for this.

It is a regular army in nature and its name belongs to the Jingying camp. If it is to be redeemed, it is theoretically the bento will be guarded by the inside and outside of Nanjing. The three "giants" of the Minister of War of Nanjing jointly came forward to redeem it.

Nothing can be missing.

The inner guard controls the seal, the outer guard controls the troops, and the headquarters controls the money and grain.

In this way, things will be troublesome.

The inner guard Liu Chaoyong was easy to talk about. Eunuch Wei relied on the old man Liu to inform him, and then he could understand the two groups of soldiers and horses.

Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, was the one who caused the matter. If he didn't wipe his butt, who would wipe it?

But the Secretary of the Ministry of War in Nanjing has nothing to do with this matter, so it is definitely unreasonable to ask him to come forward to collect money to redeem it. And it is not a small amount of money. Why should the Secretary of the Ministry of War in Nanjing agree to pay such a large redemption fee?

If this Shangshu refused to pay the money and then broke the matter into Beijing, although his father-in-law had the right to reason, the world now has no way to resist the truth.

My father-in-law didn't want any accidents to happen in this matter. He was in a hurry to ask for money, but he couldn't sue.

This thing is like a mess. You have to settle it privately. Get the money quickly and you can't report it to the police.

But if you don’t ask for the three giants in Nanjing, who is willing to pay for redemption?

My father-in-law was a little worried. According to the statistical price, the officers and soldiers of Shenji Camp were worth nearly 200,000 taels of silver.

Not to mention redeeming more than 1,000 taels of silver, it would be enough to recruit another 5,000 people.

You can't put eggs in a basket.

My father-in-law felt that Mr. Xu would definitely not pay money. In the eyes of other kings, money is probably more important than people. He should not let the Minister of War in Nanjing "report the police" to the official.

Therefore, he ordered people to escort Li Ka-kye, the deputy general of Shenji Camp, and directly asked him to pay for his own money to redeem himself as his subordinates.

"Eunuch Wei, how can I get the money..."

Li Ka-ji's face turned pale. He was just a deputy general, where did he go to find more than 200,000 taels of silver!

Eunuch Wei snorted slightly: "We know you have no money, but whoever asked you to come here will ask whom you want to go!" As he said that, he asked Li Zhaoji to write a letter to Xu Hongji.

It’s not that Li Ka-ji can’t write, but that he really can’t write it.

"Dadfather-in-law, just spare me. I won't give you so much money to the last one. This letter is just in vain..." Li Zhaoji smiled bitterly.

"How can we do without money?... Everyone is like you who are yelling that we have no money, so our family will let go. Who will ask for our family's losses?"

My father-in-law was furious: He didn’t have any surplus food in the landlord’s family!

Deputy General Li knelt down in panic, but he really didn't have the money.

My father-in-law is the one who wants money but lives. Seeing this, he was anxious, but in the end, he softened his heart.

"Or it would be better if this is the case, our family wouldn't make things difficult for you, but..."

My father-in-law was compassionate and considering that Deputy General Li was not a noble for two hundred years after all, and he could have a few family backgrounds, he proposed a solution.

After hearing this method, Deputy General Li was stunned.

"Our family wants to build a yamen and build a garden. The project is large and the manpower is small. You lend all the soldiers to our family for use, but it is not long, three years! ... Once three years arrive, our family will send you a lot of them back. How about it?"

When the founding of the country was about to come, the Duke of Xinguo Tang He could borrow troops to repair the house. More than two hundred years later, Eunuch Wei borrowed more than 1,000 troops to repair the house, which was very reasonable.

After all, manpower and prices will rise a lot when they are founded.

My father-in-law's attitude is sincere, which is his bottom line. If Deputy General Li doesn't make it to the fore, there will be nothing to say between the two.

"If my father-in-law really wants to borrow someone, I have nothing to say, but please write a note for me. If it is..." Deputy General Li turned his eyes. His Shenji Camp had a quota of 15,000 troops, but the actual amount was less than 5,000. The rest had been borrowed by the ministers of various families under various names, so it was not impossible to borrow more than 1,000 people to this eunuch Wei.

However, there must be a procedure.

My father-in-law wanted to build a yamen and build a garden because he did his business for the emperor. He didn't do it for himself, so he had to give someone a formality.

Public is public, private is private, and you can get a clear score.

If you are upright, you are not afraid of your shadow slanting, and if you are justified, you are not afraid of others' words!

With a big stroke on the spot, a number of orders for temporary secondment of the officers and soldiers of the Shenji were given.

"Come on our big seal!"

The father-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, and the bright red seal of the Jiangnan Guardian Zhongguan fell on it.

Deputy General Li took the order and quickly put it away. With this order, he could refuse if something happened in the future.

But the matter is not over yet. My father-in-law wants soldiers but not officials, so he still wants the redemption of the captured officers of Shenji Camp.

"With you, there are a total of 54,000 taels. Should you ask me to go back and get it, or ask Mr. Xu for it, or sell your wife and children? You can think of your own way, and we don't care."

Eunuch Wei has finished his benevolence and righteousness, only 54,000 taels, and you Deputy General Li is still quarreling, so don’t blame him for being ruthless.

Deputy General Li knew that the money could not be avoided, so he calculated that he would definitely not be able to take it out, so he could not get it out even if the families of the officers below could not get it. The only way was to ask Duke Wei, but how could he ask for it?

This is not a victory. Duke of Wei was so angry that he could strangle him to death. How could he even pay for him to redeem him...

In a hurry, the father-in-law named Song beside him kindly reminded him: "General Li, if you really don't have cash, our father-in-law will be the one who can take it."

"Care?"

Deputy General Li was stunned.

Song Sibao coughed lightly: "My father-in-law is the best person. If you really can't make up this money, why not see what is not used in the army...such as broken muskets, armor, etc. Oh, yes, and the medicine that has inlet water, our father-in-law collects it."

After hearing this, Deputy General Li's eyes lit up. Before he could speak, Eunuch Wei slapped the table and cursed: "Nonsense! The three camps of Nainandu, the imperial guards of the imperial camp, how can our family take the things in this camp?... Besides, what's the use of our family's broken things!"

Deputy General Li hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law, there are good ones, there are good ones!"

“Um…”

Eunuch Wei suddenly stood up, said, "Our family is anxious to pee" and rushed out of the house.
