Qin Xiao has been on duty for several days in the Department of Armed Services, and he is bored and lazy, except for sleeping and reading.
He was just a seventh-ranking official in the Ministry of War, but he was the number one person in the Jiali Department. Zhang Kuohai and others were respectful of Qin Xiao, and Xu Lang, the official of Shuling, didn't dare to neglect Qin Xiao.
There are two callers in the A library. In addition to Xu Lang, there is another named Zhao Gui. However, this person comes on duty every night. The A library has 18 staff members who are divided into two shifts, day and night. Zhang Kuohai is The head of the Chu staff is on duty during the day, and the other deputy head is on duty at night.
Qin Xiao went home early in the past two days and never even met Zhao Gui.
On March 15th, there was a notice that Xue Ke, the leader of the Yuzhou Battalion, was going to collect the weapons, so Qin Xiao arrived at the Armed Forces Department early in the morning.
Generally speaking, no matter who is to receive the weapons, they will give the officials of the Armed Treasury Department a little money for alcohol. Although it is not much, one or two dollars per person can still be allocated, and some can be used to supplement the household.
In recent years, there have not been many wars, so the imperial court has not allocated too many weapons to the outside world. It is rare for someone to come to pick up weapons, but Zhang Kuohai and other officials are full of energy.
I thought Xue Ke would come back in the morning to pick up the weapon, but he was late until after lunch.
The Armed Forces Department called for vehicles to transport weapons from Kyoto to Yuzhou. The road is not close, so horse-drawn carriages are naturally needed. However, the Ministry of Defense does not provide horses. Yuzhou needs horses with its own carts. vehicle.
There are fifty or sixty boxes of weapons, and ten carriages are needed to consign, so ten carriages are ready here, and Xue Keyong got the official letter of receipt from the Ministry of War. The first one was to go directly to the A font library.
Xue Ke is over 40 years old. He is a burly and tall man. At first glance, he is a brave general. There are more than 30 soldiers from Yuzhou Battalion. Perhaps it is because he killed Wang Chao. This time he came to Beijing to invite credit and reward. , So including Xue Ke, are full of vigor and red light.
"Qin Xiao, an official from the Xiaguan Jia font library, received the above instructions to assist Commander Xue to receive the weapon." Qin Xiao first smiled when he saw Xue Keyong.
Xue Keyong saw that Qin Xiao was less than twenty years old, and he was a little surprised: "Are you an official?"
"This is the official Qin Ling who has just taken office." Xu Lang held the slip beside him, respecting Xue Keyong.
Although Qin Xiao didn't know about the banditry in the King's Nest of Yuzhou, he knew very well in Kyoto.
Wang Chao set off in Yuzhou, led the refugees to capture several county towns, robbed the wealth of the wealthy gentry, and opened the official warehouse to distribute the money and food to the victims. Therefore, thousands of people gathered in a short time. At the peak, there were tens of thousands of troops, but when the Yuzhou battalion encircled and suppressed, it was a loss of soldiers.
Yuzhou is a big state. The only soldiers and horses that can be used to suppress bandits is the Yuzhou camp. However, the Tang Dynasty has always been strict with the local states, and the most regular establishments of the state camps are only 6,000 soldiers and horses, and the area is small. In some local states, there are even only three thousand soldiers and horses.
The Yuzhou Army lost consecutive battles, the court was furious, and even prepared to deploy troops from other state capitals to quell the thieves, but didn’t want the troops and horses to move, but Xue Keyong defeated the main force of the King’s Nest with an ambush and killed them. The two coaches, Wang Chao escaped with a handful of people.
The gathering of Wang Chao was originally a gang of mobs. After the collapse, it was not easy to gather it up. In addition, Yuzhou ordered the posting of wanted orders on this matter, and offered a heavy reward for the heads of Wang Chao and others. Since then, Wang Chao has also Then disappeared.
Xue Ke became famous in World War I, and the saint even sent an envoy to praise him.
Xu Lang is naturally quite clear about these things, and he also knows that Xue Ke is currently in the limelight and he must not offend him.
Xue Keyong saw that Qin Xiao was not only young, but also beautiful in appearance. He wondered that he must have entered the Ministry of War through a relationship. Those in the ranks were most disdainful of such people. He handed the official letter to Qin Xiao, saying: "Qin Ling, this is an official letter from your Ministry of Defense. I heard that the weapons have been prepared long ago. Let's not waste time. You stamp a seal and transfer the weapons to us. We will leave for Yuzhou today."
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "The next official will do it right away." Reaching out his hand in his arms, and after a pause, Xu Lang saw Qin Xiao's smile constricted and couldn't help asking: "My lord, what's the matter? "
"My official seal is not on my body." Qin Xiao patted his head: "What can I do?"
"Is your lord's official seal lost?" Xu Lang was also taken aback, but everyone else changed their color.
The loss of official seals by officials is not a small crime. If this matter is known to the officials, dismissal from office is still a small matter, and maybe you will lose your head.
Xue Keyong frowned and said: "You lost the official seal and it has nothing to do with us, but it has delayed our collection of weapons, and you will have to report to the Ming court. The day before yesterday, thanks to the great grace of the saint emperor, he summoned him to the palace. The saint personally instructed the general, no matter what is missing, just ask the court to receive these weapons. When returning to Yuzhou, you will continue to chase the king’s nest. If you delay a major event, you can’t afford it.” There is a “sage” on the left of his mouth. The "sage" on the right is naturally to threaten the Armed Forces in the name of a saint.
Qin Xiao said hurriedly: "Leader Xue, don't worry." Xiang Xu Lang said, "Xu Lang, go to the north gate of Wudefang and take a look. I came in from there, and when I came in, I clearly took the official seal for the guard to check. , Must have been lost on the way when I came over there. You take two people to find it along the way and see if you can find it."
Xu Lang frowned slightly, Qin Xiao frowned and said, "I asked you to find the official seal, didn't you hear?"
Xu Lang didn't dare to defy, so he called two people and went to find the official seal. Qin Xiao cried out, "Give me the key, and move the weapon box out here first, so as not to delay time."
Xu Lang was startled, a little hesitating, seeing Qin Xiao's cold eyes, did not dare to defy, so he could only take the warehouse key and give it to Qin Xiao, the corner of his eyes twitched slightly, Qin Xiao already said calmly: "Go to the official seal." /
Xu Lang had no choice but to take people to find the official seal in a hurry.
"If I can't find the official seal, will I not be able to receive the weapon today?" Xue Keyong was very unhappy.
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Leader Xue rest assured, this is a procedure. Even if the officer really can't find the official seal, the Ministry of War will issue an official letter, and the weapon will of course be taken away. Let's go to the warehouse first. Lead the selection of weapons." Zhang Kuohai said to the side: "Head Zhang, you send a few people to lead the horse to the cart."
Xue Ke knows the rules, so in addition to his own and his subordinates, he also brought more than a dozen horses to pull the cart. Zhang did not dare to delay, so he ordered a few people and led the horses to set the cart.
Qin Xiao led Zhang Bantou and the remaining two couriers, and took Xue Ke to the warehouse. The iron lock of the warehouse needed two keys. Qin Xiao and Zhang Bantou opened them together. To Xue Ke said: "Leader Xue, let's go in and pick weapons."
Team Zhang hurriedly said: "My lord, according to the rules, people who are not from the Ministry of War cannot enter the warehouse. We will move in and bring out the weapons we need."
"What do you mean?" Xue Ke's expression sank: "The saints have summoned the generals to enter the palace, and even the palace generals have been in the palace. Why can't I enter the warehouse?"
Qin Xiao said hurriedly: "Leader Xue, I just arrived at the Jiaku Office, and I don’t know the rules here. I’m this
I want to let Commander Xue go in and select weapons. Since the team leader Zhang said that Commander cannot go in, then...! "
"A small team leader is also giving orders in front of the general?" Xue Keyong couldn't look down on Qin Xiao, so how could he look down on a small team leader.
He is the leader of the Yuzhou Camp, commanding thousands of good people under his hand. He has recently made military exploits, and he has been summoned by a saint when he enters Beijing. It can be said that he is in the limelight. At this time, he was blocked by a team leader. Annoyed, he walked directly into the warehouse.
Team Zhang was so scared that he dared not say anything.
Qin Xiao followed Xue Keyong and looked very humble.
"Qin Ling, our Yuzhou Battalion still has to kill the bandits. Weapons are like mountains in here. You are the commander here, so naturally you know which weapons are of the best quality." Xue Ke wore armor, and when he walked, the armor was rubbing. Appears unusually prestigious: "You will help Ben to choose weapons."
Qin Xiaodao: "Commander, the subordinates have only been here for a few days. I really don’t know the situation here. However, the subordinates think that some things have the same principle, and the real good things are always hidden deep. Some of the weapons that the officials think are the best should be stored in the corner of the warehouse."
Xue Ke smiled with his beard and said: "This is a bit insightful."
Qin Xiao quickened his pace and led the way, Xue Keyong followed, Zhang Bantou and Xue Ke also followed a group of subordinates into the warehouse.
"Unfortunately, the armored weapons we requested from the Ministry of War are too few." Xue Keyong was obviously also the first time to enter the warehouse. Seeing the mountains of weapons, he couldn't help saying: "I knew that there are so many weapons in stock here. Ask for more."
"Commander, things are refined but not many." Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Ten refined swords, and a hundred kitchen knives must be useful."
Xue Ke said with a haha smile: "Interesting, Qin Ling, I can't tell that you are young, but your knowledge is extraordinary. Take a good job as a errand, I will see you have a bright future in the future."
"I dare not dare." Qin Xiao said: "Xue led a battle to defeat the king's nest banditry, and his fame moved the world. This is the real hero, and he has a boundless future. Compared with the generals, the lower officials are like candles. Fire and the rising sun are on par."
It was Xue Keyong's proud work to defeat Wang's Nest. It was even more joy to hear Qin Xiao say this. Although Qin Xiao was still not in his bones, he was not disgusted.
Qin Xiao directly took Xue Ke to the corner where the inferior weapons were stacked, stopped, and asked Zhang, "Squad Zhang, what weapon is the opponent here?"
"My lord, there are marks on them, those are barrier knives, this is Mo knives...!" Zhang Ban's forehead sweated coldly, he glanced at Xue Ke and leaned closer to Qin Xiao in a low voice: " My lord, Qiu Ling told me before that the weapons here can’t...can’t be sent."
His voice was very soft, but Xue Keyong stood aside, heard clearly, and sneered: "Sure enough, he kept all the good things. This time I was going to receive a thousand swords, brothers, Move away!"
"Leader Xue, since the predecessor Qiu Ling has instructed him and the next official does not know it, Mr. Zhang reminded us.....Let's do it from somewhere else...!" Qin Xiao said anxiously. .
Xue Ke said coldly: "You didn't know Qiu Ling, I said Qin Ling, now this warehouse is yours, and a small team leader is gesticulating around you. Are there any rules?" , He pushed open the open sea and waved his hand: "Brothers, first move twenty boxes out. The saints said that the Yuzhou camp can ask the court for anything that is lacking. I would move away twenty boxes of barrier knives, and see who dares to speak. ."
