  Chapter 2802 Heroes and heroes want to eat, and money will eventually become a disaster

  The night wind was blowing, but it was still a bit dull.

  The clouds are a bit thick, as if something is hiding behind the clouds and accumulating strength.

  Money and violence can be said to be the most primitive desires of human beings. They are born together. No matter how technology advances and how the world develops, these two intertwined desires will not change. When people get used to using violence to ingest money, they will inevitably be awakened by money to become more greedy, and in the end they will either die from violence or die from money.

  Several military academy non-commissioned officers sneaked together without telling Gao Shun.

"That does not work. 』

  『Without money, the brothers all have opinions. 』

  『We sold our strength and risked our lives, but in the end we couldn’t make money? 』

  『Brothers are making a fuss, I can’t hold it down...』

  『Ma Changsheng, you are most familiar with General Gao, what’s going on? 』

Ma Changsheng was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "I haven't stayed with General Gao for a long time... But, as far as I know, General Gao is different from General Wei... He doesn't like money, he only likes money." fight…"

  『Isn’t this better? Give me the money, and I'll help him fight the war! 』

"Yep! 』

   Ma Changsheng sighed, "The problem is that he doesn't like his subordinates who like money..."

  『This...is going to be difficult...』

  『Say something that shouldn’t be said. In this way, General Gao will easily lose the morale of the army...』

  『Would you like to find General Gao... a little side-by-side? 』

  『You might as well just say that directly…』

  『…』

   There was a moment of silence, and they looked at each other tentatively, with some dangerous and greedy looks.

  『First of all, let’s make sure of one thing. General Gao is a good man...』Ma Changsheng said slowly, his eyes flicked across the faces of the people around him.

  『That’s right, General Gao is a good man. 』

"agree. 』

  『Well, what then? 』

  『The second thing, General Gao just wants to fight and fulfill the orders of the General Guard... right? ’Ma Changsheng continued.

  『So much nonsense, just tell me what you want to do! 』

  『That’s right, let the fart go! 』

  Ma Changsheng was not annoyed either, nodded and said, "General Gao is a good guy, so we are the "bad guys"... We became the "bad guys", of course we helped General Gao fight all the way to Wutu Valley behind Che Shi!" As for those...General Gao just ordered us not to disturb the people, right? But if it's not Min...then we didn't disobey General Gao's order, and...do you understand what I mean? 』

  『Thief special code, you kid can do it! 』

  『It makes sense! 』

  『Done! 』

  The people present were all from military academies who knew each other, and they were in charge of the soldiers in the army. The "vigorous and resolute action" reached the extreme, and the plan was finalized, so they split up and prepared. These military academies almost immediately unified the caliber, Gao Shun is a good person, but good people can't stop them from getting rich... Uh, no, even good people should not go against the opinions of "everyone"!

   This is not about one person, it is about all of them, for brothers, for everyone!

  Weah logging tired!

  … ヽ()()…

  In the darkness of night, Kaza took out some bundled torches and distributed them to his subordinates.

   The guys standing around Kaza, some are full of enthusiasm, some are eager to try, some are full of greed to get rich, and some are full of anxiety.

  These vassal soldiers originally came here for money. They can sacrifice their lives for the Han people for money, and of course they can kill other people for money.

  The night magnifies desire and covers up ugliness.

   Kaza shouted in a low voice, explaining one by one, "If you want to get rich, keep your mouth shut!" Do as I say! 』

  『There is a lot of gold in the city of gold! 』

  『This is to serve the Great Protectorate! This is for everyone! 』

  A golden future seems to be unfolding before our eyes.

  Kaza stood at the front of the queue, "I repeat, this is not rioting, this is calming chaos!" To quell the chaos, those car masters are dissatisfied and want to murder the general! We are going to quell the chaos! Stir first, then go, understand? 』

"Understood…"

  A group of people set off in the dark, and arrived outside Jinzihe City after a while. The city gate was open, and it seemed like a giant beast opened its mouth in the dark night.

   Kaza looked back, but the surroundings were quiet.

  『Head,』 the person behind asked, 『What's the matter? 』

  The muscles on Kaza's face twitched, and then he gritted his teeth, "Nothing! There is gold in sight! Come in, it's ours! By killing those chaotic thieves, we are fighting for the general and the general guard! Go to town! 』

   At the last two words, Kaza almost screamed, and then took the lead to move forward.

  When one person raises his foot, everyone moves.

The vassal soldiers following Kaza rushed towards the upper city in Jinzihe City with a bang. Shred it thoroughly!

  Jinzihe City is divided into the upper city and the lower city. In fact, it is the rich area and the poor area, but with a different name. Kaza and the others naturally had no interest in the lower city, so they rushed directly along the street to the upper city.

   Greed reddened his eyes, and flames rose.

Speaking of which, although Jinzihe City is not big, but because it is a place of gold production, basically every household in Shangcheng District has gold products, various utensils, accessories, etc., under the light of torches, Shimmering with seductive luster.

  Everywhere tearing, everywhere howling, everywhere shouting. The whole order has become completely chaotic.

If it was in a city with normal order, these people might not be too noisy, but in such an environment that has already been defeated and has no defenses, the desire to destroy is growing unscrupulously. I just thought about taking some and leaving, but later it turned into wanting more, more and more...

  The crowd became even more frenzied, and the flames began to roll and jump.

   Kaza shouted, "Go! Don't stay! 』

But except for the vassal soldiers who are closer to Kaza, the others are all unemployed idlers. If there is any excitement in the weekdays, they are guys who want to join in troubled waters, although Kaza was in the past. He repeatedly told them not to stay for a long time, but these guys were closer than their own parents when they saw Jin Jin, and they had already thrown Kaza's words into the sky.

   Seeing that he couldn't come back, Kaza didn't care too much, so he could only take the people he could gather and headed straight to the north of the city.

  At this time, outside the city gate, Ma Changsheng and others had already lined up. When they saw Huoqi, they waved their arms, "Che Shi is making trouble!" Beg for a thief with someone! 』

   This is a robbery with a clear division of labor.

   This is also the best embodiment of the mutual cooperation between a team.

  The only problem is if the target is not gold, but a real enemy...

  The sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was a faint sound of thunder.

  The fire on the ground flickered, and the cries and screams resounded through the night sky, but as the blood spread, it stopped quickly.

Jinzihe City is not very big, and there are not many car masters left in the upper city. In addition, Ma Changsheng and others have a clear division of labor. The murderer kills, and the packer packs, almost in the blink of an eye. One end of the city slaughtered the other.

  Gao Shun got the news, but by the time he gathered his troops from the camp outside the city and rushed to the city, the whole incident was coming to an end.

  The "thief" was beheaded and placed on the street.

  As for the other "things", they were packed next to these heads...

  Gao Shun stood in front of Ma Changsheng and the others, his face sinking like water.

   It is said that it was robbery and murder. It was indeed robbery and murder, but the things were placed on the ground.

   Is it said that they disobeyed orders and killed innocent people indiscriminately, but some weapons of the Cheshi people were also found among the Cheshi people in the upper city...

  Of course, there is nothing strange about these weapons. After all, these days, rich people don’t have any guards with swords and guns around them. If they go alone, they will probably disappear not far from the city.

  Gao Shun stood in front of the queue.

  The smell of blood was pungent, and the viscous blood soaked the street and penetrated along the sand.

  The dark clouds in the sky are rolling, there is no starlight, only the torch is pulling in the night wind, and it is also pulling the surrounding figures, as if trying to pull people out of ghosts.

   There is no need for Ma Changsheng and others to make "supplementary" explanations, just take a look at the current situation and the heads of those "thieves", and you can basically understand what's going on, but Gao Shun still can't understand. He suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "Why?" ! 』

  『…』The military academies were silent.

  Gao Shun slowly drew out the saber, the blade of the saber shone with a faint cold light in the firelight, "Gao never thought that one day this saber would be stained with the blood of robes!" explain! Why? ! 』

  Ma Changsheng raised his head slightly, "General, I have a blind mother and a lame brother..."

   Gao Shun sneered, raised his saber slightly, "Then what? Is your family background the reason for you to disobey the order and wanton slaughter? 』

  Ma Changsheng said: "No, I just want to tell the general that I came to the Western Regions so that my blind old mother and lame brother can have a bite to eat!" 』

  『Asshole! Is the military salary not enough for your mother and your brother to eat? You are Qu Zhang, fighting for twenty! Five hundred monthly salary! Clothes and utensils are all supplied by the army. Is this not enough for you to eat and drink, and not enough for you to support your family? ”Gao Shun thought it was Ma Changsheng who was just arguing, “If you are spending too much, even tens of thousands of dollars are not enough to spend! 』

  Whether it is the Han Dynasty or other feudal dynasties, the grain in the salary is calculated as the unhulled grain, and generally speaking, the brown rice and other grains that have been shelled off are only 60 to 70% of the original weight. Although Qu Chang's salary is not a lot, it is still quite a lot. After all, in the Hussar Army, basically everything needed is rationed, and only personal extra expenses need to be spent, so if you save a little, don't say Raise a family of three or five people, even seven or eight people can make ends meet.

  『General! 』Ma Changsheng suddenly tore off the armor silk sash on his body, immediately arousing the vigilance of Gao Shun's guards, and then all the swords and guns were pointed in front of Ma Changsheng, but Ma Changsheng didn't make any dangerous moves, let alone pulled out the armor from his arms. What kind of dagger or other murder weapon, but the battle robe with several patches on the back of the armor is exposed, "The whole body of the humble official, this is the only piece of armor that was newly received!" This shirt was issued the year before last, and there have been no new clothes since then! I don't drink too much, and I don't go whoring or gambling. I only keep half of my military salary for my own use, and the rest is transferred back to my hometown in Longxi through the silver shop! Not to mention the excessive spending, but ordinary wine and meat. The last time I ate it was a reward from the New Year's Eve! General, it's not that I don't want to support my family because of my lowly position, it's because I really have no money! 』

  The torch is flickering, but it can also be seen clearly that there are indeed many patches of different colors on Ma Changsheng's battle robe behind the armor.

  Gao Shun waved his hand, put away his saber, and asked the guards to step back, "What about your salary?" 』

  Ma Changsheng slowly took out a small piece of wooden plaque from his arms, and then held it on top of his head with both hands, "Please check it out, General, this is the salary received by the humble Taixing for seven years..."

  Guard Gao Shun stepped forward, took it, and delivered it to Gao Shun.

  Gao Shun took a look through the light of the fire, but saw written on the wooden sign, "3,000 off the payment owed"...

   Gao Shun's eyes moved slightly.

  As Ma Changsheng delivered the wooden tokens, the rest of the military academies also held up the wooden tokens in their hands.

  The guard stepped forward to collect the wooden badges of the rest of the non-commissioned officers of the military academy, and delivered them to Gao Shun.

  The amount owed on the wooden signs varies, some are more, some are less, the most is 8,000, and the least is 1,500.

"Since last year, there have been debts one after another..." Ma Changsheng said, "These debts, even when it comes time to cash them, are often insufficient. It is great to get 70 to 80 percent. You can only get half...or even less, and it is common to only get 30% or 40%...』

  『You...you...haven't paid the military salary for many years? ! 』Gao Shun pinched the wooden sign, looked at the ink characters on the wooden sign, suddenly felt that it was very dazzling, and his voice trembled a little.

  Gao Shun knew there was a problem, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

  Ma Changsheng lowered his head, "This year... I gave it to three months... I gave it when I opened the call..."

  『…』Gao Shun didn't know what to say for a while.

  The torch crackled.

  The team leaders are all like this, so ordinary soldiers can guess how they are.

  『These...you, why didn’t you say it earlier? ”Gao Shun pinched the wooden sign, “Why don’t you go to Dadu Nushu to tell him? ! 』

Ma Changsheng replied: "Going, a brother went... The chief guard was very angry, and then a small official said that he had made a mistake in keeping the accounts, and the chief guard ordered someone to beat the small official and make up the brother's military salary... Only But later, when that brother was on a patrol, he was said to have encountered wild wolves at night, and he died without a whole body...』

  『Wild wolf? ’ Gao Shun asked.

Chen Sanlang said at the side: "I know there is another one who also went to ask for the soldier's salary. The money should be returned, but when he went to Shifang the next day, he was stabbed by a lunatic... Then the lunatic was killed on the spot. killed…"

  『Madman...』By the way, no matter how stupid Gao is, he also knows how incredible it is for a so-called lunatic with a knife to suddenly appear in a busy city.

The breeze that was blowing did not know when it stopped, and the clouds were pressing on the top of the head like a lead block, which seemed to block the arrival of dawn, and the dull air was like a stone, pressing down on the chest that was a little stuffy on the Western Plateau. As if being stuffed with these stones, even breathing is extremely difficult.

  "Everything is suffering, and the world is hard," Gao Shun raised his head, his voice was low, "but it can't be a reason for you to do evil!" The yellow turban thieves in the past also had a lot of grievances. They were hungry and unable to wear clothes, but this was not a reason for those yellow turban thieves to plunder other counties and rob places! Why don't you wait..."

   Gao Shun paused after speaking halfway. He originally wanted to say that even if he owed these soldiers' salaries, there would be no less rewards after the war...

  But soon Gao Shun realized that even the soldiers can be owed, so what can't be owed?

  『You shouldn’t be doing this! ”Gao Shun said in a deep voice, “How is this different from bandits? ! Don't worry, I will collect the money owed for you, and when it comes time to turn around, I will ask for it for you! You won't lose any money, even if most of you don't want to give it, I, Gao Shun, will subsidize it for you! 』

  The reason why he couldn’t do it wasn’t that Gao Shun had so much love for the car masters, and how much the Holy Mother plot was, but the so-called “killing the prisoner is ominous”. In a sense, since the Cheshi people in Jinzihe City finally chose to surrender, they can be dealt with to a certain extent, but not all of them are killed, so that the people in the subsequent cities will be willing to surrender Otherwise, if Che Shi knows that surrender is death, then it means that no Che Shi will surrender in future battles...

   It means that the battles that Gao Shun and others will face will be more difficult, there will be more deadly battles, and the casualties will naturally be greater. Originally, it was only necessary to fight against a part of the car division officials and generals, but in the end it may become to deal with more car division people, and it may even become a situation where all the chariot divisions are soldiers.

  The money in front of him may lead to the deterioration of the subsequent war situation, and these military schools do not obey orders and do not obey the constraints. This is the biggest reason for Gao Shun's anger.

  『General! ”Although Gao Shun said so, Ma Changsheng’s face did not show any joy because of this, but shook his head and said, “The general is a good person, we all know... But we told the general that we didn’t mean to ask the general to ask for advance payment...More What's more, these arrears are not one or two, let alone one month and one year... The general's subordinates also have food and drink expenses. Even if the general can advance the payment for a while, he will not be able to advance the whole life... unless the general can admonish the general guard and kill him...』

  『Presumptuous! ’ Gao Shun shouted angrily.

   Ma Changsheng lowered his head, was silent for a while, then prostrated himself on the ground, "The lowly position has usurped...the lowly position is a death penalty. I don't dare to say anything to get rid of the crime, I just ask the general to pay the money owed to us for the sake of the old and young in the family... The humble job is to follow the general with the death penalty, even if he dies in battle, he will have no regrets ! I implore the general to complete it! 』

  The rest of the military academies also bowed down one after another, and said in unison: "I implore the general to complete it!" 』

   The cold rain finally fell.

  Knocked on the pocket, flowed on the armor, and fell to the ground.

  In the rain, Gao Shun looked up at the sky, silent...
