Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 237 If it were for my future, I wouldn't come! (First chapter)
The sky was covered with dark clouds and a strong wind suddenly came. In just a flash, the sky was covered with rain and the entire Suide Army was covered by heavy rain.

Raindrops fell on the dry land, splashing up clouds of smoke, but in just a moment the ground was completely wet and water began to accumulate.

The people of Suide Army had already rushed home from the streets to collect the things that were hanging out to dry. When they had finished, they heard the ground shaking slightly.

But they were not surprised. Some even laughed and said, "The boys of the Rende Army are really soaked this time."

Someone was looking out from under the eaves, and sure enough, hundreds of armored cavalrymen rumbled in from the city gate. In the rain, there was a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

Hundreds of riders were galloping through the streets at high speed, and the momentum was frightening, but the people of Suide Army all had smiles on their faces. Although these guys looked fierce in their armor, they usually helped the people build roads and houses. They were nice people, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Normally, when they came back from training, they would walk through the street leading their horses, for fear of scratching the people. Today, perhaps because of the heavy rain, there was no one on the street, so they galloped through the street.

Four or five hundred cavalrymen galloped into the camp of Qi Yingying, and then the knights took off their armor and returned to their dormitories. However, Su Yun did not have time to take off his armor and went directly to the detention hall.

In the detention hall, Qi Keyong paced back and forth anxiously. When he saw Su Yun coming in in heavy armor, he was first impressed by Su Yun's aura, and then he said happily: "General Manager, you are back!"

Su Yun reached out and took off the helmet on his head, then looked at Qi Keyong and asked, "What's the urgent matter that made you rush to find me?"

Qi Keyong approached Su Yun and whispered, "General Zhong...is dead!"

"Huh?" Su Yun looked at Qi Keyong with some surprise.

Su Yun was naturally prepared for the fact that Zhong Yan was going to die, and since he came to Fuyan Road, Zhong Yan had been bedridden.

It was actually beyond Su Yun's expectation that he had been lingering in bed for so long. Su Yun remembered what Zhong Pu said, that Zhong Yan's illness was a carbuncle on his back.

Once that kind of thing breaks out, it develops very quickly. I didn't expect it to last for so many months.

Qi Keyong said quickly: "Someone from Yanzhou City has come to inform you that you are requested to return to Yanzhou to take charge of the affairs.

You are the highest-ranking official in Fuyanlu now. If you don't go, Yanzhou will be leaderless. Then the Dangxiang people will know that General Zhong has passed away and think they can take advantage of the situation."

Su Yun smiled and said, "Marshal Zhong has been ill in bed for a long time. The General Affairs Office has already made plans for daily affairs. Can't we just handle it as usual?

As for the fact that the Dangxiang people will take advantage of the situation, haha, am I not in the Suide Army? If the Dangxiang people want to take advantage of the situation, they must pass through the Suide Army first, right? "

Qi Keyong whispered: "You misunderstood. What I meant is that you can take this opportunity to win people's hearts when you return to Yanzhou City to handle official business.

General Zhong made a mistake in Yongle City, but the emperor did not blame him too much and still let him guard Yanzhou. But everyone knew that the emperor just thought that the Fuyan Road must not be lost, so he let Zhong Yan guard it.

But General Zhong did make a big mistake after all. If not, why would he have become so worried and sick? "

Su Yun looked at Qi Keyong and said, "Even though General Zhong is dead, we still have Zhong Park, and the banner of the Zhong family is still there."

The so-called banner of the Zhong family refers to Zhong Yan's brothers Zhong Gu and Zhong Zhen. These two are known as the Three Kinds together with Zhong Yan. They all have outstanding military exploits. Now Zhong Gu is guarding Huanqing Road, and Zhong Zhen is the military commander of Yongxing Army Road.

Qi Keyong shook his head and said, "Zhong Pu may not be able to stay in Fuyan Road. He will probably have to move further west. No matter what, General Zhong made a mistake after all. The ministers in the court are watching him."

Su Yun shook his head and said, "At this time, we need to keep a close eye on the Dangxiang people. I will not go to Yanzhou. Tell the camps ahead to be more vigilant during this period. That's it."

The Western Army is in a very muddy situation, especially at this moment, it is probably in a mess.

Once Zhong Yan, the pillar of Fuyan Road, dies, all forces will surely set their sights on the position of the governor of Fuyan Road.

If he went there at this time, he would certainly be seen as someone who intended to interfere in the position of the governor of Fuyan Road, and would inevitably suffer many attacks. If he was not careful, he might be transferred out of Fuyan Road.

Now is the time when the five hundred seeds are growing vigorously. Su Yun does not want to leave just like that, otherwise all the previous work will be wasted.

It would be better for him to stay in the Suide Army honestly. Whoever wants to take the position of the General can take it, and I will stay in the Suide Army and train the troops well. This is the important thing.

Of course, Su Yun also knew that his official position was still a little low. Being the governor of Fuyan Road was actually considered a high position for him. The position of governor was still too high for him. If his official rank was higher now, he might be able to compete for it.

Qi Keyong was disappointed when he saw that Su Yun had no intention of fighting for power. He was still thinking that Su Yun could move up a bit. If Su Yun could take the position of governor, then Su Yun would definitely need someone from his own to lead the army. Then he could also move up a bit.

Seeing Qi Keyong was quite disappointed, Su Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, just take it slow."

Qi Keyong smiled and said, "Yes." Su Yun nodded and said with a smile, "What do you think of Qiying Camp?"

Qi Keyong was immediately cheered up. He was naturally paying close attention to Su Yun's military training in the Qiying Camp. He saw that the 500 soldiers in the Qiying Camp were becoming more and more elite day by day. Naturally, he noticed it all.

Qi Keyong said: "You already look like a strong and capable general. The general manager's methods are really extraordinary. You are a person who truly understands military affairs. I am convinced."

Su Yun shook his head and smiled, "It's just a showpiece, but it's a bit of a showpiece. I plan to expand the scope of the training. What do you think?"

Qi Keyong smiled bitterly and said, "If we can expand the scope, it would be a good thing, but I'm afraid it would be a bit difficult."

Su Yun nodded and said, "Tell me about it."

Qi Keyong said: "Since you started training the troops, there have been many opinions within the Suide Army.

The food, weapons, and war horses of the soldiers in Qiying Camp were the best in the Suide Army.

As the saying goes, what is worrying is not the lack of food but the inequality of food. Not only are the commanders dissatisfied, but the soldiers are even more dissatisfied. They all demand that the food standards be improved. How can this be possible?

For now, it can still be suppressed, because everyone thinks that the Qiying Camp is your personal camp, and it is not a big problem if the personal camp has a slightly higher status, but if you want to expand the training, then the meaning is different. "

Su Yun nodded and said, "That's perfect. We can all train according to the standards of the Qiying Camp. Anyway, the Qiying Camp is now somewhat established, so we can just pick out 100 or 200 soldiers to serve as instructors. This way, the entire Suide Army can all use the new training method."

Qi Keyong smiled bitterly and said: "The training method is not a problem, you are the general manager, you have the final say, the problem is that with the cost of training in Qiying Camp, this supply is really not enough.

The monthly food expenses of the Qiying Battalion alone are ten times that of other battalions. We in the Suide Army can supply one Qiying Battalion, but how can we expect the whole battalion to adopt this standard?"

Su Yun frowned when he heard this and said, "The food and wages received by the Qiying Camp are in accordance with the standards of the imperial court. Why can't this be done?"

Qi Keyong smiled bitterly and said, "You may not know that the court's standard is the court's standard, but when can we be fully allocated the money?
The imperial court always deducts money from the military supplies, and we are considered lucky if we can get 60% to 70%. However, there is also some loss in the middle of getting 60% to 70% of the food and wages, and only 10% to 20% is left in the soldiers' mouths."

Su Yun understood that it was just cutting corners and draining the soldiers' blood.

The imperial court deducted some of the military supplies, and when it reached Fuyan Road, the Jinglüesi also deducted some, and when it came to the Suide Army, haha, officers at all levels had to stretch their hands to get some money, and in the end all that was left for the soldiers was two meals of thin porridge a day.

Qi Keyong looked at Su Yun and said, "I know you want to train good soldiers, but this is a difficult matter. There will be great resistance from top to bottom in the army."

Su Yun understood. The so-called from top to bottom actually meant this. The soldiers were naturally excited. They could eat well and receive full pay. Who would not be happy?

The resistance mainly comes from the commanders and captains. Once the whole army implements this training method, they will no longer be able to suck the blood of the soldiers, which is a huge income.

Su Yun looked at Qi Keyong and asked, "Did you receive the money?"

Qi Keyong was shocked when he heard this, and hesitantly said, "General Manager... I don't want to accept it, but if I don't accept it, I won't be able to continue to be the commander here."

Su Yun nodded and said, "Well, then you don't need to collect them anymore. From today on, the military supplies will be collected by the general manager and I will be in charge of the overall management."

Qi Keyong was shocked when he heard this and said, "General Manager, this cannot be done, this cannot be done. If this happens, I'm afraid the army will be unstable!

General Zhong has just passed away. If the Dangxiang people get to know this news, they will definitely take the opportunity to invade the border.

We are trying to block their money supply, and I'm afraid they will take it passively. If the fort is destroyed, you and I will be the ones to suffer."

Su Yun sneered when he heard this: "Oh? Are they all so courageous?"

Qi Keyong smiled bitterly when he heard this. All these Western Army generals were very courageous. It was common for them to sell out their teammates on the battlefield, steal credit, pass the buck, and make false accusations.

It can be said that anyone who does not understand these things will never be able to make it in the Western Army.

Qi Keyong said earnestly: "General Manager, this really cannot be done. These military leaders can do anything if they are pushed into a corner. You are a son of a wealthy family, there is no need to ruin your future here."

Su Yun looked at Qi Keyong and said, "What if I really want to do it?"

Qi Keyong smiled bitterly and said, "If you really want to... Well, I am already in the same boat with you. If the boat sinks, I will not survive. If possible, I still advise you not to act rashly."
