"Where's Lu Daoping? Tell him to get out and see me." Zhang Shize roared angrily.
Soon Lu Daoping of Qianhu, who was responsible for guarding Nanyuan, arrived.
He heard that the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief were back. Knowing that things were going to be bad, he quickly came to say hello.
He first saluted Uncle Yuan Ding and Marshal Zhang, saying that he had met the Marshal and Deputy Marshal.
Yang Fan said with a smile: "I have now handed over my errands. I will no longer supervise the military affairs of the capital camp before the class. Now the capital camp has been handed over to Zhang Shuai. Just report the situation to Zhang Shuai."
Lu Daoping opened his mouth in surprise, what is going on. Didn’t I say that Northwest won a great victory? Why did Dingyuan Bo's admiral Jingying Rongzheng get rid of him?
Lu Daoping was in a daze for a moment before angrily telling the whole story.
It turned out that after the Jingying army left, due to the Jizhen rebellion, the emperor combined Cheying, Jingshan's 6,000 Lumi gunmen, Dong Jishu's army, and Jinyiwei's cavalry to reorganize the Xuanwu Army of 36,000 people.
The Xuanwu Army was led by the Emperor himself. Dong Jishu is the chief soldier, and Zhou Yuji, Hu Dawei, Zuo Liangyu, and Meng Ruhu are the deputy chief soldiers.
After the rebellion was put down, because he would be stationed in the capital in the future, he had to choose a place to station himself.
Zhou Yuji and the others were originally stationed at Jingshan Military Camp. Dong Jishu, Hu Dawei, Mengruhu, Zuo Liangyu and others were stationed in Changping. The Jinyi Guards Cavalry is stationed in Xishan. Now that they are co-edited, it is natural to unify their locations.
At that time, neither Jingshan nor Xishan camp could accommodate so many people. The cabinet believes that Nanyuan Military Camp is well constructed and has complete facilities. He petitioned the emperor and suggested that the Xuanwu Army should be stationed in Nanyuan Camp.
Because there was no good place at that time, and the emperor was unwilling to spend money to build a new one. So I agreed.
After they arrived, especially Zuo Liangyu, Hu Dawei and others, they saw that the original barracks in Jingying were very good. They are all newly built tall brick houses, as well as heating equipment such as kangs and cast-iron stoves. The training ground is also a cement-hardened ground.
They directly marched into the barracks of Jingying and occupied all the good houses in Jingying.
Zhang Shize was furious and cursed: "Are you eating shit? Before the army set off, I asked you to stay behind. How can you guard the barracks?"
Lu Daoping said aggrievedly: "We have only 600 people from a thousand households, how can we stop them. Besides, they have documents from the Ministry of War, so we really have no reason to stop them."
In theory, the military camps are all under the control of the Ministry of Military Affairs. The so-called iron-clad camp and flowing soldiers.
The military camp belongs to the Ministry of War, not the army.
The army is just the user of the military camp. Therefore, they have documents from the Ministry of War and really can't stop it.
"What happened to the warehouse? Of the three warehouses, the locks were broken on two of them. Where are the supplies?"
Lu Daoping said: "Commander, you don't know how poor their soldiers from Changping are. They haven't been paid for half a year. The mandarin ducks and jackets are all more than ten years old and have never been washed. They are as dirty as pigs. The military rations are also often out of stock. The Ministry of War has more trouble distributing military rations than constipation."
Yang Fan sighed when he heard this.
The border troops of the Ming Dynasty were basically like this. The newly established Xuanwu Army, except for Zhou Yuji's car camp, is the old foundation brought by him. Both the equipment and uniforms are newly purchased in the past two years. The six thousand Rumi gunmen brought out by Zhang Shize also had newly issued military uniforms and firearms.
Apart from these ten thousand people, it's not bad. The remaining 25,000 people are from the original troops in Changping, and the border troops were abolished this time, and elite troops were selected and later incorporated. What is their situation? I don't know yet.
Now, entering the barracks of Jingying was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Rows of tall brick barracks, collective canteens, large bathrooms, and training grounds. In terms of living facilities, boiled water is provided every day, as well as newly built tap water systems, sewer systems, and public toilets. Clean, tidy, and comfortable, it’s a wonder they’re not crazy.
As for the two clothing warehouses being smashed open and looted, it's not surprising.
Before Yang Fan left, he took away all the mandarin duck jackets from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry. Most of the cloth and cotton were also taken away. In the warehouse were bedding and clothing for 100,000 people. When we left, there were 80,000 people in the capital camp, and there were still 20,000 units in the warehouse.
Another warehouse stores supplies such as grain and oil. The emperor paid for and sold eight thousand tons of corn, all of which were stored in this warehouse. There are also three thousand iron barrels for lard.
According to the supply share of one pound of corn per person per day, there are currently 40,000 people in the Beijing camp, which requires 20 tons per day, which is a reserve of 400 days. At the beginning, there was a reserve of 80,000 people for more than half a year.
So now the best barracks in Nanyuan are occupied by them. The kitchen and canteen are also used by their fire-headed troops. Moreover, there are a lot less coal mountains accumulated in the coal yard. It is estimated that some were used during this period, and maybe some were resold privately.
Yang Fan ignored the two material warehouses, which were purchased with Chongzhen's internal funds. He has no interest in caring about who he gives it to. Now that I have handed over the errand, I don't need to worry about what will happen after the army comes back. Let Zhang Shize handle it.
My current status is embarrassing. If I stand up for the Beijing camp, a small matter will turn into a big deal. Leading to the censor's impeachment. Yang Fan thought with his butt and knew that this matter was definitely not as simple as embezzlement by Dong Jishu and Zuo Liangyu.
Without the instructions from Dong Lin and the Ministry of War, Yang Fan would have written his name backwards.
These people are very vicious and very good at calculating people's hearts.
In their opinion, Yang Fan must be very satisfied when he returns from a great victory. At this time, it is the time when the arrogance is arrogant, how can I stand this bird's arrogance. As long as Yang Fan launches an attack, they must have a trap waiting for Yang Fan that they have designed long ago.
Now that Yang Fan can be dealt with more legitimately, Dingyuan Marquis must have lost it, and Yang Fan had to lose it himself. This saves the emperor the embarrassment.
"What's going on in the third warehouse now?" Yang Fan asked.
"Uncle, they didn't open that one, it's still there, intact."
Yang Fan sneered, the third warehouse contained firearms and gunpowder purchased by Chongzhen for the Beijing camp. Yang Fan attaches great importance to the safety of the arsenal. He used stones and cement to build a three-meter-thick wall with a cement dome on top. The warehouse door is made of cast iron half a meter thick and uses a special lock, just like the vault. It's amazing that they can open it.
Lu Daoping said angrily: "Zuo Liangyu called me over and asked me to open the arsenal. He said that their counterinsurgency firearms had been damaged a lot. They need to be replenished."
Yang Fan sneered and asked, "What did you say?"
"How can a villain open the door for him? Besides, I don't have a key." Lu Daoping said, "I said it was all empty, and all the firearms were taken away by the army."
Zhang Shize nodded and said, "What you said is very good. In such a big war in the northwest, it is normal for the firearms to be taken away. This is in line with common sense. He can't say anything."
"He didn't know where he got the list of the arsenal. It said there were ten red cannons, which were made of cast steel. There were also three thousand matchlocks and ten thousand barrels of maroon gunpowder. He asked me to open the door for him. "
Some people died, but not completely...
