Ruinan Mountain, the headquarters of the Central Army Corps
Army General Feng Haohan stood in the cold wind, looking coldly towards the north.
The station behind was in chaos, and everyone was busy.
"Quick, quick, quick," the generals, big and small, kept urging, "Everyone, get moving, load the food and supplies into the trucks as soon as possible, and ship them out immediately. Anyone who dares to delay will be severely punished."
"Move, move, move." Some soldiers were accustomed to being lazy and disapproved of it.
"It's freezing cold, why are the generals so crazy?"
Snapped!
A riding crop was whipped hard and mercilessly, instantly pulling out a slit in the soldier's cotton-padded coat, revealing the yellow and thin cotton wadding inside and the straw sandwiched in between.
Ahhhh!
The little soldier didn't expect such an experience. He suddenly shook up and was already rolling on the spot in pain before he could recover.
"As a soldier, if you don't listen to military orders and make your own decisions, I will drag you down!"
Several personal guards rushed over fiercely, covering the screaming soldier and dragging him down.
Killing the chicken to scare the monkeys soon worked.
After this, all the soldiers were in full swing.
Not long after, large trucks filled with supplies and supplies set off from the station and headed towards the Sulan Grand Canal.
At midnight, Qi Daming, who had worked hard all day, finally had time to rest.
The order to rest had just been given, and all the brothers in his class were so exhausted that they almost didn't even want to eat, and all they wanted to do was go to bed.
"I'm so exhausted." Someone was out of breath. "What do you think happened to Huayang County? Did the Japanese pirates come ashore again?"
Except for the sounds of heavy breathing and voracious chewing, there was silence all around.
They are all ordinary soldiers and have no idea what is going on outside.
hey-hey.
After a long while, someone finally regained his breath.
Fu Ping's eyes rolled, "Actually, Huayang County is fine now, and the Japanese pirates haven't landed yet."
Hum hum,
Some people clearly don't believe it.
"Old Fu, don't lie to us. If there is no movement in Huayang County, then why is the vanguard urging us like crazy to move our luggage?"
"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Fu Ping winked triumphantly. He didn't continue until he caught everyone's attention.
"The reason why the vanguards are going crazy is because the imperial envoy sent by His Majesty is about to arrive at the station."
In addition to having Shang Fang's sword in their hands, this time the imperial envoys also came from the Ministry of War. Under Guanyi's special instructions, they had long been eyeing the situation of the Central Army Corps.
Qi Daming next to him suddenly understood.
He subconsciously pinched the thin cotton-padded clothes on his body, then looked at the mushy food in front of him, and couldn't help but feel sad for a while.
It doesn't matter if the imperial envoy is here, at least the brothers will have better food after being down for a while, and maybe they can change into thicker clothes.
"Madan, the imperial envoy should have been here long ago."
The others felt the same way, and their spirits were immediately lifted, and they were all smiling with joy.
"Actually," Fu Ping said cheerfully, "when the imperial envoy came this time, he not only wanted to investigate the issue of military deductions and shoddy military supplies, but he also wanted to check our training situation..."
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
boom!
The door of the barracks was suddenly kicked open, and five vicious inspectors rushed in.
Before Fu Ping could even take away the pride on his face, his mouth was covered by four people and he was dragged out in one fell swoop.
The remaining inspectors held their swords in their hands and looked coldly at the stunned Qi Daming and others.
"The military situation in Huayang County is urgent. The Sixth Battalion of the Chinese Infantry is under charge. Pack your bags immediately and set off in half an hour!"
After saying that, he stared at everyone with a murderous look, turned around and left in a hurry.
"What's going on, where is the old Fu man?"
hiss.
Qi Daming's expression changed drastically, and he quickly made a silencing gesture toward the man.
"Don't make a sound, you are looking for death."
"What are you still doing? Hurry and pack your things."
Judging from the appearance of the inspectors, it is estimated that they will come as soon as the time comes to chase them away.
If they haven't packed their clothes by then and it's freezing outside, they will die of cold once they leave the camp.
The others finally came to their senses, all with dark faces and open faces. After looking at each other for a few times, they could only pack up their few luggage helplessly.
Half an hour passed quickly.
The Sixth Infantry Battalion, with less than 1,000 men, was instantly driven out of their respective barracks and headed east through the blinding darkness and half-thick snow, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Fu Ping, who was well-informed, never came back.
The next day, Feng Haohan woke up from the greenhouse.
"Jiaojiao!" He called to the beautiful girl who was waiting for him, "Is the washing water ready?"
The greenhouse was silent, and no one answered at all.
After a while, there was a snap, and Feng Haohan came to his senses with a slap on his forehead.
After receiving the news from Xingji City, Jiaojiao was sent away immediately. Now he could only sleep alone, and no one answered him in the morning.
After breakfast, the military divisions and generals of the Central Army Corps gathered one after another.
"General, the 1st to 10th infantry battalions of the Chinese Army have set out overnight, and those talkative and thoughtful ones have been cut off."
"Very good." Feng Haohan nodded with satisfaction.
What will happen if the imperial envoy comes?
With so many people gone, there is much more room for them to operate behind.
"General, there are too many heavy supplies of food and fodder. Our brothers have been moving them day and night, but it's still too late. What should we do?"
Feng Haohan frowned deeply.
Yunzui has always been short of iron, and those large instruments are almost all made of iron. Each of them is priceless, and they are all important weapons of the country.
Relatively speaking, it is not a big deal to deprive soldiers of their clothing and daily diet.
"If it can be loaded and shipped, load it and ship it as soon as possible. If it can't, break it into parts immediately and dismantle them all."
He's just an imperial envoy, so what if he comes from the Ministry of War.
Could they still assemble the dismantled baggage themselves to see if the quantity was small?
"Yes!" Several generals immediately ran away.
Others consulted Feng Haohan about some troublesome matters. Everyone discussed for more than two hours before the conference room gradually became quiet.
However, some people are still worried.
"General, Guanyi has been keeping an eye on us for a long time. This time the imperial envoys are well prepared. Although the brothers have done enough, I'm afraid there are still some gaps."
Feng Haohan nodded silently.
"Prepare some scapegoats. If the imperial envoys find any mistakes, they will be pushed out. I will handle the rest."
The Central Army Corps has always defended Xingji City, the imperial capital, and many of its members are children of wealthy families in the imperial capital.
He can take the position of general of the legion, and his hand is not empty.
Not to mention a few imperial envoys who came randomly, even if the Minister of War, Guanyi, came to the scene in person, I'm afraid he would have no choice but to return in anger.
Of course, there is no problem in cutting off a few of Feng Haohan's arms.
"By the way, who will take the lead on this imperial mission?"
Wow.
The military advisor below searched for a while and soon looked strange.
"Back to the general, the imperial envoy leading the team is named Fang Yinbao, and he comes from the Yongchang Marquis Mansion."
After speaking, the man recounted Fang Yinbao's past experiences in detail.
It was also pointed out in particular that during the Nanfeng War, Fang Yinbao, unlike other supervisors, actually followed Yuan Xingwen onto the battlefield.
"Yongchang Hou Mansion, Fang Yin Bao." Feng Haohan's face was a little solemn.
If nothing happens to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, it will be demoted to the Yongchang Bo Mansion by the end of this year. Of course, the premise is that all its nephews are useless.
"I guess for the sake of the family, Fang Yinbao will track us down like a dog. Everyone, keep your spirits up and be prepared for everything."
"Yes!" Everyone agreed in unison.
