When Wang Shouyi heard the news early in the morning, he was so shocked that he ran out of bed without even putting on his shoes and ran straight to the military warehouse.
The Changshou military warehouse is located in the back mountain of the Changshou military settlement, and all the guards are Wang Shouyi's most trusted and trusted soldiers.
After stealing the military treasury, the thief felt that he was not arrogant enough, so he set off a string of loud firecrackers on the spot before leaving, walking around in a swagger, as if afraid that others would not know.
At this moment, the military treasury was filled with scattered rice, wheat, gold and silver.
The gate had been completely opened, and the rising sun fell into the army warehouse, illuminating the thousands and thousands of bags of rice, which were stacked layer upon layer to form high walls that were almost endless at a glance.
Under the high walls, there are rows of wooden boxes filled with gold, sparkling like human eyes.
The periphery was full of people, all of them were regular soldiers who had been awakened. They stared at the armory with wide eyes and strange expressions on their faces.
The guards stood there in fear, and when they saw Wang Shouyi, they all lowered their heads in guilt.
Wang Shouyi had originally held onto a glimmer of hope, but when he saw the mess at the cave entrance, his eyes were red with anger, and he couldn't help but growl, "Who did it! Who did it! I'm going to skin him alive!"
As he said this, he turned his gaze to the guard soldier beside him. He killed chickens and people when he saw them. He slapped the left one and kicked the right one. He was almost going crazy.
"General, General, how about we go in and see what's missing?"
The military advisor asked anxiously from behind.
Wang Shouyi took a deep breath and then strode in.
He was completely immersed in his anger and naturally did not notice the angry and disappointed eyes of the surrounding soldiers.
They really thought that Chang Shou’s army treasury was empty, that there was no extra rice, and that what Wang Shouyi said was true.
But it was not until the military vault was robbed that they realized that all this was just a lie by Wang Shouyi.
There are many veterans among the regular soldiers who have been in the military camp for many years, so they naturally have some idea of the food and fodder.
As for the food stored in the military warehouse, not to mention it is not enough, even if they eat rice for three meals a day, they can eat as much as they want for more than ten years!
Some of the new recruits were still confused and stared at the mountains of food with envy.
Only when I heard the indignant discussion of the veterans did I react and their eyes were filled with hatred.
In the early years, when Beijiang was not yet in chaos, the military settlements received grain and fodder from the imperial court every year. In addition, during the period of recuperation, the military settlements grew their own grain and rice, so it can be said that they were rich.
But they had to eat plain porridge for every meal, and could only have a full meal during festivals.
As for the smell of meat? Forget it. If you are lucky, you can hunt pheasants and rabbits to satisfy your hunger. If you are unlucky, you may not be able to eat meat for several years.
The last time these soldiers were in Sinan County was when they smelled the authentic aroma of pork again after many years.
During the past few years that Wang Shouyi was in charge of Changshou, he withheld all the food from his soldiers, so he was able to save up so much food and fodder!
Now, the soldiers were starving and emaciated, but Wang Shouyi not only did not provide disaster relief to help the people through the difficult times, he even cut down on food once again...
How can they be treated as human beings?
More and more soldiers came to watch, resentment was rising, and everyone's eyes were red, staring at the warehouse door.
The guards nearby heard the soldiers' indignant whispers and raised their swords to threaten them, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll chop off your heads!"
The soldier was now filled with rage, and he responded without giving in: "Cut them down! I'll starve to death sooner or later anyway! It's better to die early than to starve to death!"
"You are talking without any worries. I just sneaked into the dining room of your personal guard camp and saw that there is not only white rice, but also meat and white flour buns!"
The speaker's eyes turned red.
He said sternly, "Do you know what we eat? Porridge, porridge as thin as water! I have never suffered such torture at home!"
"Can tigers and dogs eat the same thing? We are the general's personal guards."
The atmosphere became more and more intense, and the battle between the two sides was about to break out.
Sun Qiuhan stepped forward and raised his hand to stop the soldiers from rioting.
He looked at the door of the armory with cold eyes.
No one knew better than him what these food reserves meant.
He put his hands behind his back, and when Wang Shouyi came out, he asked coldly, "Sir Wang, won't you give me an explanation?"
