Regarding Zhao Junchen's coming to Jinzhou Camp to take charge of logistics matters, several people in charge of Jinzhou Camp did not show any resistance at least on the surface. After hearing Wang Shizhen's loud shouts, they all dismounted and approached Zhao Junchen. Salute and say hello.
Zhao Junchen rode forward, observing these five people more carefully and making a secret evaluation in his heart.
Then, Zhao Junchen became more and more convinced of the information provided by He Rensheng.
At this time, the Jinzhou camp had received the news of He Yu's murder, so Jinzhou guard Peng Ji and Liaodong cavalry Qianhu Luo Bing both wore white hemp caps on their helmets and a suit on the outside of their battle armors. The white linen clothes are obviously worn by Heyu as a sign of mourning;
The eunuch Yao Rang represented the Deqing Emperor, so it was naturally impossible for him to do this. He only tied a white hemp rope around his right arm to express a little sadness;
As for the other two Liaodong cavalrymen, Qianhu Yan Zhen and Wu Jiyun, they only wore a white hemp hat on their helmets and a white linen belt around their waists. They were not covered in hemp like Peng Ji and Luo Bing. Just practicing basic etiquette.
And this difference in appearance can obviously show that their positions are different.
Among them, the image and temperament of Jinzhou guard Peng Ji is indeed what He Yu said: He is generally good at dancing and well-rounded. Judging from his appearance, he was also a handsome man when he was young. Now he is middle-aged and has gradually gained weight, but he still has good features and a strong image. , people can't help but feel close to him, he doesn't feel like a frontier general, but more like a businessman with an honest style;
Yao Rang, the eunuch who oversees the army, has a naturally sad look on his face. He is even more reserved when he raises his hands and feet. He always lowers his eyes and secretly observes others with the corner of his eye. He does not look outstanding. , but probably because he was worried about Emperor Deqing, Zhao Junchen always felt that this person was smarter than imagined;
In addition, the temperament and image of the three Liaodong cavalry Qianhu are also different.
Luo Bing was short and stocky, with a dark complexion, and his expression was full of grief and anger. Apparently he had not yet recovered from the news of He Yu's murder;
Yan Zhen is the oldest, about fifty years old, but he still has a strong body, thick beard and hair, giving people a feeling of calmness and self-power;
Wu Jiyun, on the other hand, is tall and thin, with a stern appearance. He is a few years older than Shi Cheng, Li Shijie and others, and his slender eyes reveal a trace of determination.
However, just as several people in charge of the Jinzhou camp were saluting Zhao Junchen and Zhao Junchen was carefully observing these people, an incident occurred, which immediately broke the calm of the scene.
*
"A bunch of ungrateful bastards! The Commander-in-Chief was just killed! How dare you!"
After a loud shout, a man was seen riding his horse like the wind, rushing past Zhao Junchen, running directly towards the gongs, drums and honor guards, knocking several people away in one breath, and scaring all the gongs, drummers and flag bearers to run away.
It turned out that in order to welcome Zhao Junchen's arrival, Jinzhou Camp had deliberately arranged a gong and drum team and an honor guard. When several people in charge of Jinzhou Camp saluted Zhao Junchen, these gong and drum teams and honor guards also took action at the same time. Immediately there was the sound of gongs and drums and the waving of flags.
However, after seeing this situation, both He Rensheng and Liu Xiong looked shocked and angry!
Not long after He Yugang died, why was the Jinzhou Camp so noisy with gongs and drums?
Even if it is to welcome Zhao Junchen, there should not be such a joyous display!
Although He Rensheng was frightened and angry, he could still bear it after all, but Liu Xiong, who had always been rude and unruly in style, could no longer bear it. He immediately drove away the gongs and drums team and the honor guard in a rage.
For a moment, the scene was chaotic and chaotic!
After seeing this situation, before everyone else could react, Zhao Junchen was first shocked, then moved, then gritted his teeth, then deliberately let go of the reins, rolled over and fell directly onto the horse. on the ground.
On the other side, after seeing Liu Xiong's reckless behavior, everyone present was shocked, especially several people in charge of Jinzhou Camp. They also felt that they were wrong and wanted to persuade Liu Xiong.
It was Yao Rang, the eunuch of the Supervisory Army, who discovered Zhao Junchen's situation for the first time and shouted in surprise: "Zhao Gechen was frightened and threw his horse! (This chapter is not finished!)
Chapter 1317. Everyone deserves to die! .
Zhao Gechen was frightened and threw his horse! "
Immediately, everyone present turned their attention to Zhao Junchen. Zhao Junchen was holding his back and sucking in the air, as if he had been thrown badly.
Seeing this scene, everyone present became even more frightened. They no longer cared about stopping Liu Xiong, and rushed to Zhao Junchen to support and greet him.
At the same time, Liu Xiong also saw Zhao Junchen's situation, his expression changed drastically, and he finally realized that he had got into big trouble!
After Zhao Junchen was helped to his feet by Peng Ji and Ling Huguang, he looked shocked and angry. He pointed at Liu Xiong, who was standing blankly in the distance, and shouted angrily: "How dare you disturb my carriage! Harm me!" He fell off his horse! How audacious! How abominable! Come on! Get Liu Xiong for me!"
If Zhao Junchen ordered people to capture Liu Xiong under normal circumstances, everyone in Liaodong Town would definitely want to get rid of the obstruction because of their comradeship. But under the current situation, no one dares to intercede for Liu Xiong.
In particular, Jinzhou garrison Peng Ji was the one who strongly advocated welcoming Zhao Junchen with great fanfare. He also personally arranged the gongs and drums team and the honor guard. Liu Xiong's scolding just now was mainly aimed at him. At this time, he did not hesitate and turned around immediately. The order was sent: "Why are you still standing there?! Follow Zhao Gechen's instructions immediately? Take down Liu Xiong!"
Soon, Liu Xiong was tied up and sent to Zhao Junchen.
However, Zhao Junchen did not look at Liu Xiong again. He seemed to have completely lost his intention to be polite to everyone because of this accident. Instead, he turned to look at Peng Ji and asked in a cold voice: "You are Jinzhou Guard Peng Ji?" ?”
Peng Ji hurriedly saluted again and said: "It is Peng Ji who is in a humble position! It is all due to poor arrangements in the humble position, which frightened Zhao Gechen! Please punish Zhao Gechen!"
Zhao Junchen snorted lightly and said straight to the point: "We will discuss the punishment later! The current military situation is urgent. I have been invited by the Governor of Jiliao and the generals of Liaodong Town to come to the Jinzhou Camp to take charge of logistics matters related to the frontline war. Victory or defeat, I have no time to deal with you! I heard that you are responsible for managing all the military supplies of the Jinzhou camp? "
Peng Ji nodded again and said: "That's right!"
"I would like to ask you, how much food and grass is currently available in the Jinzhou camp's arsenal that can be mobilized immediately?"
Peng Ji's eyes flashed and he replied: "About three hundred thousand stones."
Zhao Junchen immediately frowned.
According to the Ming Dynasty's military supply standards, an army of a thousand people, plus the food consumption during transportation, would consume more than one stone of military rations every day. If it was a long-distance march, the military food consumption would increase to nearly two stone.
At the same time, a healthy war horse consumes three to five times as much food and grass as an ordinary soldier.
The reinforcements under Wu Yingxiong's command numbered more than 20,000! And because they gathered elites from all sides, the number of war horses was even higher than the number of troops. For example, the Chinese armored cavalry of Liaodong Cavalry and Guanning Cavalry both had one person with two horses, or even three horses per person.
Under such circumstances, when Wu Yingxiong leads the reinforcements to the North Road Defense Area, the supply of food and grass in the entire North Road Defense Area will inevitably be quickly tight. However, the Jinzhou Camp can only produce 300,000 stones of food and grass at the fastest, which is obviously insufficient.
"I would like to ask you again, how many carriages and horses does Jinzhou Camp have? How much food and materials can be transported to the front line at one time?"
After Peng Ji thought carefully for a moment, he replied: "The carriages and horses of Jinzhou Camp are enough to send these three hundred thousand stones of food and grass directly to the front line."
This time, Zhao Junchen's expression flashed with satisfaction.
Then, Zhao Junchen glanced at the three Liaodong cavalry Qianhu from the Jinzhou Camp and asked again: "I need the Jinzhou Camp to immediately take out these 300,000 stones of food and grass and send them to the North Road Defense Zone as soon as possible to support the war!
But at present, the Jurchens in Jianzhou have invaded in large numbers, and they must have sent a large number of troops to plunder. Therefore, if you want to successfully transport this batch of grain and grass to the front line, you must arrange an elite army to escort it! This pavilion believes that it is most appropriate to hand over this task to the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, but I don’t know which Qianhu is willing to take on this important task? "
As Zhao Junchen finished speaking, among the thousands of Liaodong cavalrymen, only Wu Jiyun did not take a positive stance, while Luo Bing and Yan Zhen both came forward to take orders.
For Zhao Junchen, this result was also expected.
According to He Rensheng, Luo Bingnai is He Yu's best confidant, and Ru (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 1317. Everyone deserves to die! .
Nowadays, the theory that "Jianzhou Jurchen killed He Yu" has been concluded, so Luo Bing is naturally eager to rush to the front line, not only to avenge He Yu, but also to take the opportunity to investigate the details of He Yu's murder.
Before Zhao Junchen asked, Luo Bing was still thinking about interceding for Liu Xiong, but after hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Luo Bing no longer cared about Liu Xiong, and only wanted to get the person who escorted grain and grass for himself. Task.
At the same time, according to He Rensheng, Yan Zhen is a Liaodong veteran who is brave and good at fighting and has repeatedly made military exploits. As long as he has the opportunity to go to the battlefield, he always has a positive attitude.
However, compared to Yan Zhen, Luo Bing was more eager at this time. After seeing that Yan Zhen wanted to compete with him for this task, his expression suddenly changed and he said loudly: "Yan Qianhu, no matter what you do with this opportunity, You have to give it to me no matter what, as long as you let me do it this time, I will definitely repay you in the future!"
Seeing Luo Bing's attitude, Yan Zhen hesitated for a moment, then quickly took a step back and stated that he would no longer compete with Luo Bing.
Zhao Junchen nodded lightly and said: "I think so too. In the Jinzhou camp, we still need a veteran like Yan Qianhu to take charge. In this case, the task of escorting food and grass should be left to Luo Qianhu. ! I hope you will not stay too long after escorting the grain and grass to the front line, and quickly return to Jinzhou Camp. There will be more escort missions in the future... If you want to stay on the front line to fight, maybe, but you must convince another person. Liaodong Cavalry Qianhu returns to Jinzhou Camp to perform the escort mission on your behalf!"
Seeing that Zhao Junchen had given him the opportunity to stay on the front line, Luo Bing was immediately overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "I obey my orders!"
However, after seeing this scene, He Rensheng's expression behind Zhao Junchen changed drastically!
Once Luo Bing is asked to lead his Liaodong cavalry to escort grain and grass to the front line, and Liu Xiong is also imprisoned for "colliding with Zhao Junchen's car", that means - for a long time to come, in the entire Jinzhou In the camp, the only high-ranking military attache who was completely loyal to He Yu was He Rensheng!
Moreover, He Rensheng has now lost his military power, and all the Liaodong cavalry under his command have followed Wu Yingxiong and the Liaodong town generals to the north for reinforcements, so He Rensheng has also lost his influence.
Although there are more than ten thousand ordinary frontier soldiers in the Jinzhou camp in addition to the Liaodong cavalry, and there are also many ordinary thousands of households who are still loyal to He Yu, they are no longer able to affect the change in the situation!
What's more, with He Yu's accidental death, there is a question mark as to how many of his former military lieutenants are still loyal and willing to protect He Yu's interests at all costs.
Just like what Zhao Junchen said, although He Rensheng is smart, he is too bookish.
Why bookishness? It’s just that you are too reasonable in doing things and have too many scruples when things happen!
Therefore, although He Rensheng wanted to do his best to prevent this situation and remind Luo Bing not to fall into Zhao Junchen's trick, his reaction was a beat slow. When he secretly organized the words in his heart and conceived how he wanted to speak, When he was able to cover everything, Zhao Junchen had already started the next topic, and this matter was already finalized.
Zhao Junchen turned his eyes to Jinzhou garrison Peng Ji again, and gave the order again: "Peng garrison, you will be responsible for preparing the three hundred thousand stones of food and grass and the chariots and horses needed for escort, and hand them over to Luo Luo as soon as possible. Thousand households! At the same time, arrange a quiet room for me, and then hand over all the account books of Liaodong Town to me for review!
When I enter Jinzhou Camp, all etiquette is waived. If everyone present has no necessary matters, you don’t have to always find reasons to come here to build relationships. I must seize the time to check the account books and find out about Jinzhou Camp as soon as possible. Detailed information on material reserves can then be used to support logistical supplies for frontline soldiers based on actual conditions! "
After saying that, Zhao Junchen got on his horse again, and then took the lead towards the Jinzhou camp.
*
When Zhao Junchen finally entered the Jinzhou Camp, he did not bother to carefully observe the situation of the Jinzhou Camp. He first personally watched Peng Ji organize the chariot and horse team and led people to move a large amount of grain and grass from the army depot, and then personally watched Luo Bing escorted the grain and grass and left the Jinzhou camp. After all these things were over, it was already approaching evening.
Next, Zhao Junchen still led Liaodong Governor Wang Shizhen and Liaodong Press without any delay (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 1317. Everyone deserves to die! .
The inspector Huang Ke, as well as his close aides Li Chuanwen and Niu Fude, got into the room prepared by Peng Ji and focused on looking through various account books of Liaodong Town and counting the material reserves of Liaodong Town.
After another whole night, Zhao Junchen and a few others finally found out the details of the material reserves in Liaodong Town.
At this time, Zhao Junchen had been busy for more than a day, with almost no rest time, but he still showed no signs of fatigue, and his expression was full of gloom and hatred.
At the same time, Wang Shizhen, Huang Ke, Li Chuanwen, and Niu Fude were in similar situations.
Staring at the dense account books in front of him, Zhao Junchen took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and commented coldly: "Take all the baht and use it like sand! Damn it for He Yu! Damn it for Peng Ji! All the high-ranking military attachés in Liaodong Town must die." Damn it!"
