Kaifeng Prefecture, Military Office.

Gao Yong had a sad look on his face. It had been almost a month since the new magistrate took office, but the material issues raised by the commander still had no intention of solving them, and he didn't even give them a tael of silver.

"I originally thought this was a good official, but I didn't expect that Kaifeng's prefect was worse than that of another. The previous prefect had at least tried to solve some of the needs. Although the difference was still relatively large, the Kaifeng Guards' troops were actually not enough, so overall they could barely maintain operation. However, the current prefect's master originally agreed to be quite good, but for such a long time, a single or two silver was not transferred to Kaifeng Guards. If something happened, something happened."

Gao Yong sighed deeply. It would be fine if it was normal for the lack of supplies, but now the thief army is rampant. If it really breaks into Kaifeng City, it would be too difficult to win with its current supplies and equipment. However, those officials and men did not pay attention to this. Even Lord Dusi didn't care. Only the commander was a little alert about this, so he kept urging the materials and equipment, but what was waiting for was the rocks sinking into the sea.

"These officials are all frivolous people. It would be fine if Kaifeng had not encountered the thief army, but once they encountered it, they were all sinners for the ages!"

Gao Yong was very angry. The Ming Dynasty's officialdom was so corrupt that he was powerless.

"Oh, I originally thought that the new magistrate was different. He could break the rules and lead the yamen runners to destroy locusts, and even personally make and taste the locust banquet, lead the people to eliminate the locust plague, and at the same time, he killed the corrupt clerk Li Jing, who was corrupt and power, and cleared the atmosphere. However, his knowledge was shallow after all, and he could not recognize the harm of insufficient military equipment. I heard that he had snatched a lot of money from the mouths of the landlords and gentry, but he didn't know what it was for? Could it be that he was greedy for himself to fill his personal pockets? Or bribe his boss, just for his future? Oh, I blamed me for being blind and looking at people wrongly, but no matter what, I would also give up my own advice, and try my best to do my best, just for the safety of Kaifeng."

Just as Gao Yong thought about it, he became more and more angry. Just when he was about to fight with Ma Mingfeng, he saw a figure outside the door flashing, and Master Jiang Pingjie walked in.

"It turned out to be Master Jiang." Gao Yong's face was a little cold and he did not salute.

Usually because Jiang Pingjie is kind to others, everyone speaks very politely and enthusiastically to him, but today Gao Yong's face is no longer this enthusiasm. This is naturally because he has lost confidence in Ma Mingfeng.

Jiang Pingjie knew Gao Yong's character, so he naturally knew why he had this attitude, so he didn't mind, just smiled and said, "Brother Gao, let me tell you good news."

"Good news? What good news can be found?" Jiang Pingjie sighed softly with disappointment on his face.

But when Jiang Pingjie laughed, he said, "Just just now, the prefect asked me to come and notify you, bring enough supplies to Kaifeng Guardian, and this time I will pay the full amount."

"What, what?" Gao Yong immediately stood up when he heard this, widened his eyes, looked incredible, and then he stammered: "This, is this true, is it true?"

"Of course it's true. Hurry up and select the yamen runners and transport the supplies to you. I guess the commander was waiting in a hurry." Jiang Pingjie patted his shoulder, smiled faintly, handed him a warrant, and then left.

Gao Yong took the warrant with both hands and held it in his palm, as if holding a rare treasure. After several minutes, he carefully read the contents above. Seeing that what Jiang Pingjie said was true, he felt relieved about the commander's request to pay the full amount. He murmured: "Full payment, full amount, this is something that has not happened for many years. I didn't expect it to appear today, and it happened to me... Well, I must complete this task successfully and beautifully. At the same time, I must also find a way to keep an eye on the commander's request, so that he must use the money well, and not use the wrong place at all."

Although Gao Yong was just a clerk who had no grade, he had to go through his hands to provide money to Kaifeng Guards, and he was upright, even the commander was very polite to him. However, Gao Yongke had never done such a thing as how the commander used the money, because he had no such qualification at all. However, because this time he distributed the materials required by the commander in full, he felt that only by doing this could he be worthy of the materials.

The official name of Kaifeng Guard is Xuanwu Guard, and the commander is Zhang Shengwen. He is a Wu Jinshi in the third year of Chongzhen. He was transferred from Baoding to Xuanwu Guard last year. Although he was honest, the situation in the entire Ming Dynasty was already decayed at that time. In addition, the lack of weapons and equipment provided by Kaifeng Prefecture, the predecessor's salary and the destruction of the military system, the troops under his command now have less than two-thirds of the quota, and the equipment is even more ragged, and even training can only be replaced by branches and sticks.

Since Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others rekindled, Zhang Shengwen has been paying attention to the situation of the war. Although there have been good news from the front line and the government has won several victories, Zhang Shengwen did not dare to relax at all, because he knew that no matter whether these thieves were in war or defeat, they might run to Henan, so preparing for war is absolutely an urgent task now.

However, considering the supplies that Kaifeng Prefecture could provide, Zhang Shengwen did not dare to speak out. He just made a request to the Kaifeng Prefecture according to the most conservative estimate. However, even so, the materials he could get were only about half of the requested each year, which was the result of Kaifeng Prefect Wu Shi's attempt to take care of them.

However, even ordinary people are gone now. Since the new magistrate took office, Zhang Shengwen has issued three documents in a row, but they are all sank to the sea and have no echo at all.

Just as he was gradually disappointed, Li Min suddenly ran out of breath and said, "Sir, Yin, Yinzi."

"What silver?" Zhang Shengwen looked surprised. Then the other party asked for silver. He immediately said in a deep voice: "No silver, no one or two!"

"No, it's not that the last one wants the money, but Kaifeng Prefecture, which has sent the money to Kaifeng Prefecture. The three big trucks are all white silver. The materials we requested have arrived and are distributed in full."

"What?" Zhang Shengwen stood up as soon as he heard this, and ran out without even wearing shoes.

As soon as I walked out of the hall, I saw three carriages in the yard, each with a large box on the carriage. The military manager of Kaifeng Mansion stood in front of him with a smile.

"Executive, what's going on?" Zhang Shengwen saw this, his eyes were dazzled and his ears were surging. He had an expectation in his heart, but he still wanted Gao Yong to tell it out himself.
