Several people came out of the small building and complained that Zhou Yuji should have been pushed back just now. Whoever poops will lick it back. In the beginning, what were you going to do to cause trouble for Jingying?
They want us to take responsibility for them and prevent disasters. What are they thinking?
Zhou Yuji smiled bitterly and said: "You are a royal guard and a member of the emperor's personal army, so naturally you are not afraid of them. The Ministry of War and Dong Jishu can't control you. But we can't, so this matter can only be done in secret and without any effort. Jingying is not a fool, so he understands . Therefore, there is no need to insist on it. Whatever he says will be whatever it is. After listening to it, go back to the camp. If you don’t implement it, it will be over.”
Lu Ping said: "He won't let us go. He has to keep urging us."
Zhou Yuji said: "Let's just say, we are preparing weapons, we are preparing armor, we are preparing artillery, the gunpowder is damp, we are selecting the ones that can be used. We are looking for cannonballs. The cannonballs are in the arsenal, by the way, in the arsenal. Still. Please open the arsenal, Commander-in-Chief, and assign gunpowder and cannonballs to humble posts."
Lu Ping laughed. He said, "That's right. Slow things down, and it's better to find reasons to shirk than to have a direct conflict on the spot. At least there's no quarrel, and there's still room for change in everything."
Chang Song asked: "Sir, what should we do about this matter?"
Zhou Yuji said with a gloomy face: "The water is too deep to get involved in this matter. Let's go back to the camp and close the door. There are people with dog brains outside, so don't pay attention. Don't worry, the car camp is Uncle Dingyuan's old unit. Mr. Zhang personally trained the Lumi Gun Camp. As long as you don't come out to stop him, he won't cause trouble. He's just going after Dong Jishu."
Chang Song scolded: "This old gangster is willing to be used as a gunman by the Ministry of War. Let's see how he ends up this time."
Several people took the opportunity to leave, and now Dong Jishu was dumbfounded.
How could he issue an order? Isn't this seeking death? This kind of thing can be denied verbally, but once it is put on paper, it is nothing.
"Commander, what should we do now?" Zuo Liangyu asked anxiously. He was also afraid. He was the happiest jumping around before. Now, he is so panicked.
"Go up the wall, go up the wall, fight with them. We have documents from the Ministry of War, so we are afraid of being kicked." Dong Jishu said angrily.
After a while, Zhou Yuji and the others also quietly climbed up the water tower in their eastern camp. This is the highest place in the entire camp. You can see far away from here.
Soon, 40,000 troops from the Beijing camp surrounded the place. Ten red cannons were pushed up.
"Hey, you really dare to use a cannon. Mr. Zhang is really anxious." Chang Song exclaimed.
By this time, the two sides had begun firing guns at each other. Dong Jishu's men put loot on the wall.
This one-meter-thick wall has a 20-centimeter parapet and crenels at the top, and an 80-centimeter aisle behind it. You can hide and set off firecrackers on it.
Bullets from both sides chirped! Chirp! Chirp! The sound is flying around.
This is just an appetizer, the feast is yet to come.
Zhang Shize had someone use a tin-rolled loudspeaker to shout loudly: "People inside, listen, this is our barracks in Beijing. You are given one hour to pack your things immediately and get out of here. Otherwise, don't blame our red-coated soldiers." The cannon doesn’t recognize you.”
Dong Jishu's soldiers were all old frontier troops. The quality is better than that of ordinary border troops, and they are called elites. However, the combat effectiveness, discipline, and fighting will are simply incomparable to those of the Beijing camp.
They have lived comfortably for most of the year, and they moved in during the winter.
The heated kang is so warm. Each flag has a room, a kang bed, and an iron stove. The coal yard in Jingying is piled as high as a hill.
There is also a boiler, and there is hot water to drink every day. I heard that the soldiers in the Beijing Camp wash their feet before going to bed after training every day. What an enjoyment. No landowner can compare.
Not to mention, the tables, chairs, benches and stainless steel tableware in the canteen. There is also a large bathhouse in the military camp. There is also a dedicated laundry room. Hire common people to wash clothes for officers and soldiers.
Especially the two material warehouses, which have enough food for a year and a lot of lard. More than two thousand barrels.
When cooking for the past six months, I put a tablespoon of lard in every big pot. They ate so much that mucus bubbles came out of their noses.
The best food in the Ming Dynasty was fat, never anything else, especially for the poor.
There are also 3,000 acres of vegetable land in the south of Nanyuan. They also hired people to grow vegetables for the army. These people are called Caihu. This place is called Caihu Camp. It was originally used to supply vegetables to the palace. However, Chongzhen decreed that one thousand acres of it should be supplied to the Beijing camp.
They never achieved vegetable freedom. Ever since I came here and entered summer, I have always had vegetables to eat.
After the Beijing camp left, the eunuchs' Jingjun and the vegetable farmers managed by the Jingjun were in charge of the vegetable fields. The portion that the Jingying camp did not eat, in addition to giving a portion to the palace, was sold on the market. During this period, they made a lot of money. Dong Jishu and the others came, and the thousand acres of vegetable land was taken over.
There are still 500 fat pigs in the pig farm. There is actually a dairy farm with a hundred black and white cows. This kind of special cow was unheard of in Ming Dynasty. One hundred pounds of milk is produced in one day.
I heard from the milkmaids at the dairy farm that when Jingying was there, the treatment was frighteningly good. Officers from more than a hundred households drink milk every morning. Officers with less than 100 households drink soy milk every morning. Soldiers are given a tablespoon of lard to accompany their porridge every morning.
They were all dumbfounded. Is this a job to be a soldier or to enjoy the blessings?
After the departure of Beijing Camp, the pig farm and dairy farm were immediately taken over by Wang Chengen. Now it is managed by Yu Kitchen. Dong Jishu and the others stared blankly, not daring to reach out.
These poor frontier soldiers have never enjoyed such good conditions in their lives. What an eye-opener. I've lived here for the past half year and it's so comfortable that I don't want to leave it alone. Even if I kill them now, I don't want to move out.
However, looking at the dark muzzle opposite, I was very scared. They could only pray in their hearts that these guys would not dare to fire on their own people.
At this time, in the Qianqing Palace, Wang Chengen hurried in.
Chongzhen glanced at him dissatisfied. He said slowly and logically: "Why are you panicking? You can't be more calm."
"Your Majesty, something serious has happened. The chief of the Military Affairs Department was stopped by a group of beggars on his way home. He was beaten and dispersed by the servants. As a result, more than a hundred beggars came and beat the chief to death."
Chongzhen frowned. This kind of thing actually happened in the capital. The person in charge was a capital official, so it was not a small matter.
"Your Majesty, the left minister of the Ministry of War spent the night at Guixiang Tower last night. News came out today that he died immediately."
Chongzhen put down his pen and stood up. The minister was of the third rank. This matter is no small matter.
"Last night, the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion went to Dafa Casino to gamble. They had a dispute with the officers and soldiers of the Beibing Masi Division because of cheating. They got into a fight and killed more than thirty people. General Ma Shen of the patrol battalion was beaten to death."
One capture camp admiral had 11,000 soldiers, 5,000 horses, 2 generals, and 18 commanders, responsible for the security of the capital. As usual, the capital capture camp has one admiral, two staff generals, eighteen generals, a patrol force of eleven thousand, and five thousand horses.
What! Chongzhen was shocked. The garrison in the capital started fighting, and the deputy chief of the patrol battalion was killed.
