It was already afternoon, the Yellow River was roaring and rushing, and the Dragon Guard cavalry known as the Fourth Army were all trembling with fear.
He lived in a daze, eating and drinking for a living, and he didn't even care about the disappearance of the horse.
Zhao Tong looked at these people. Most of them were military clans. Their families had lived in Tokyo for generations and had been in the military for generations. The so-called Tongze meant they were neighbors, relatives and friends. They were related by relatives and friends, forming a huge imperial circle in Beijing, and even involved them from left to right. , looking forward and backward, restrained at every turn, went to the battlefield, without any intention of fighting and fighting, collapsed when encountering a strong force, and retreated like a snowball group.
Zhao Tong smiled coldly. He knew where the weaknesses of these forbidden troops were. Even if they figured it out, he was not afraid of them blowing up the camp. They had long since lost their blood and resistance!
"Your war horse has been stolen." Zhao Tong's words were astonishing.
Many of the Imperial Guards did not know what had happened. They only knew that the horses were missing and that the revolving lanterns of the officials and generals in front of them who had been in the queue seemed to be swaying. They just watched the excitement and did not spend any money.
At this moment, when he heard that the war horse was stolen, he immediately panicked. However, he was not worried about military matters, but was thinking about the household items that he needed to eat. If they were gone, his job would be insecure.
The pay of the horse army is higher than that of the infantry army.
Zhao Tong looked at them: "If you can't get the horse back, your military pay will be halved!"
As the noise arose, the weak-tempered Imperial Guard suddenly felt depressed, thinking about how much food and clothing the family spent on food, the old mother was constantly taking medicine, the children were young and crying for food, and the mother-in-law often leaned against the door to look at each other, and couldn't help but feel at a loss.
There are also those who are panicking. The debt they owe to the wine shop is nothing, but the money they owe to the gambling house is nothing. If it is not enough for one month, it is inevitable that the hands and feet will be chopped off, and the whole family will not be able to live in peace.
There are also those who have just been engaged. Seeing that the young lady is gentle and lovely, three or five families have asked people to go to matchmaking, but they have chosen me. They say that they are good in the army, and they will have a solid job. The salary is high, which is better than that. There are so many Erlang and Wulang in the Du family, but now that the army and horses are lost, the military pay will be reduced by half. Immediately, my whole body becomes cold and I feel helpless, as if the girl has fallen into the arms of Erlang and Wulang, you and me.
Zhao Tongfu said: "If the army horse is recaptured, everything will remain as usual. Quan will pretend that this did not happen and will not be held responsible for the loss of the horse!"
"Boom!" Another candle seemed to be lit, and hope rose in everyone's hearts. What seemed to be lost could actually be recovered, which made everyone's hearts tremble.
"The army and horses were stolen by the Japanese army. The Japanese army wanted to break the jobs of your Dragon Guards, and then they hid in the dark and watched your jokes!" Zhao Tong said lightly.
What? Those bastards who support the Japanese army? There was an explosion within the Long Guard Army. Although the Tokyo Forbidden Army was a large circle, there were also factions within it. The Long Guard and Pengri factions were sworn enemies in the Forbidden Army circle.
Zhao Tong closed his eyes slightly and allowed the Dragon Guards in front to grumble and curse. They even threw and beat him regardless of the fact that he, the commander, was there. In the end, he even scolded the officers in the front department.
After a quarter of an hour, when he had heard enough scolding from these bastards, Zhao Tong raised his hand slightly, and the guard behind him whipped his horse whip to suppress the noise.
"If you get your war horses back, your pay will be the same. If you don't get it back, your pay will be reduced by half. Are you willing to go to the Japanese camp with me and get your own war horses back?"
"willing!"
"As it should be!"
"How dare you support the Japanese army!"
There is nothing to say about this. It was originally my own thing, but it was stolen by those thieves in Pengri. Of course I have to get it back, not to mention military pay and silver.
"Okay, let's go to the Japanese army camp now, but remember one thing for me. If the Japanese army doesn't let you get your horses back, you will be beaten hard by me. As long as no one is killed, everything will be done." The king is responsible, even if someone’s life is lost, I will be responsible for it!”
Zhao Tong is not afraid of big troubles. Only a prince like him dares to do such a thing. He wants to be watched by all the courtiers. He is not a benevolent and righteous king. If he dares to touch the things under his hands, he must be prepared to show his face. Get ready for revenge!
The ten army commanders were summoned, and Zhao Tong explained them carefully. The ten army commanders nodded and accepted the order, and a team of several thousand people marched straight to the Japanese army camp.
There are also a lot of Japanese troops stationed in Gyeonggi, with a total of thirty-three commanders. The main camp is thirteen miles outside the east city of Tokyo.
As the commander of the Fourth Army in front of the palace, Pengri has been honored and favored since its establishment. Because Pengri was once a personal soldier of Emperor Taizu, he was once known as the First Army of the Forbidden Army.
However, more than a hundred years have passed, and now it seems that the glory is no longer there. The camp is as lifeless as the sunset, except for the horse farm, where there is constant neighing in the corridor and the excitement of cooking a pot.
There are no senior officers stationed in the army in the department. On weekdays, the commanders of the left and right wing are regarded as the most respected ones when they support the Japanese army. There are very few drills during the day, but all kinds of military tricks are constantly being played.
The commander of the left wing of the Peng Japanese Army was named Tian Chi. His family had always been from Peng Ri. By his time, due to the accumulation of past generations, his family had gradually become richer, so he spent money to buy this position from Gao Qiu, but he had never even been on the battlefield.
Today he opened a gambling game in the barracks. He only looked at the amount of money in his pocket, regardless of his official rank. As long as his pocket was full, anyone could gamble, so that he could draw bonuses from it.
People were coming and going in Nuo Da's barracks, the winners were smiling, the losers were calling their fathers and mothers. Tian Chi was sitting on a big chair at the back, grabbing a leg of salt-roasted lamb, eating meat and drinking heavily, thinking about going to Goulanle in the evening. A joy, really joyful.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly came to report: "General, there is a group of people running towards the camp in the distance?"
Tian Chi was stunned and said: "Central? What kind of centaur?"
The soldier said: "It looks like cavalry, but it doesn't have a flag, so I don't know which army it belongs to!"
Tian Chi secretly thought to himself that he had not received an order to inspect the troops within the department, let alone a training mission. He wondered: "Flag, where do you think your troops are?"
The soldier grinned when he heard this, wondering how he knew about this, and said: "After all, they are the Imperial Guards, there is no way they can come from outside."
Tian Chi nodded, how could it be from outside? The nearest Liao army in the north was also an unknown distance away. With so many officers and soldiers on the road, how could they kill them as soon as they could?
He waved his hand and said, "Don't bother with me. You might as well go find Hu Songtao, a bad guy, to lock the gate of the camp outside and not even let a bird in!"
Hu Songtao was the commander of the right wing of the Japanese army. The two had always been at odds with each other and always respected the left. Tian Chi despised each other in his heart.
After a while, the soldiers ran in sweating profusely: "General, what's wrong, General? The team went to the racecourse, knocked down the gallery officer of the racecourse, tied up the soldiers stationed there, and were leading the horses to leave. !”
When Tian Chi heard this, he was immediately startled. He suddenly remembered something and shouted, "Oh no, it must be those dogheads from the Long Guard Army who came to snatch the horses. Please go out to the camp with a certain family to have a look!"
