As part of the Eastern Capital Supervision Division, the Wude Division's residence covers an area of dozens of acres and more than 600 rooms. As the middle-aged eunuch who was promoted to the head of the Eastern Capital, he also looked at the gathering of custodians, custodians (internal ministers' qualifications), and (foreign officials' qualifications) and marriage officials with some coldness. scolded:
"It's shameful, it's really shameful! As the minions and ears of the Holy Emperor, what do you do for food? The millions of dollars allocated every year, as well as the franchised businesses and benefits all over the two capitals, are all spent? Did it go to the dog? Or did it end up on the belly of the Huaxiang girl?"
"The person sent to contact him was casually replaced by an assassin. He tore through the city several times with great fanfare, taking advantage of the situation to get what Lena wanted. He did it in full swing; but from the beginning to the end, he didn't find anything useful. Clues and traces are coming!”
"In the end, it was the real owner who was assassinated. He casually found the culprit and took care of the assassin's nest with his own hands. People outside said that my Wu Desi had been leaked into the sieve for a long time, but it seems to the Za family that you are more than just It’s leaking through the sieve, it’s just a bunch of broken pots and spoons!”
"Nowadays, not only the Kingo 6th Street Envoy has made huge gains for nothing. Even those foreign yamen who have criticized and impeached Takeshi for many years are now waiting to see Takeshi's jokes. They all say it is so big. A group of people is not as effective as a censor who teaches at random."
"Have you ever known that someone in the political hall has already spread the word that they plan to make a speech before the Holy See to reduce the allocation of funds related to the Wude Department in the past years so as to create a new department and take away some of the powers and duties... …Do you all know how shameful you are?”
Hearing this, many internal ministers and foreign officials who were bowing their heads to be scolded were all frightened or turned pale with fright. They all fell to the ground and began to accuse loudly:
"Despicable and incompetent."
"My subordinates are terrified."
"The young one has made the commander worry so much."
"A lowly servant can't live up to the cultivation of the master, and can't live up to the kindness of the Holy One."
"Master, in the long run, we must not set this precedent!"
"My lord, please give me some chance to make amends and redeem myself!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged eunuch with a frosty face finally relaxed his face, and looked at the last person who spoke with stern eyes: "In this case, please tell me how to resolve this storm, and what to do." How to restore reputation and situation?”
"Little... I think that the person who untied the bell must also tie the bell; this matter should be started from the Jiang Lu Affairs Office." This marriage officer, who suddenly became the focus of attention at the scene, said with a little squirming. : "Since this matter started because of him, it is natural that he also found a solution because of him."
"Oh?" When the middle-aged eunuch heard this, he showed some approval and said: "But I don't know, what kind of solution should be? You can tell it carefully, but it doesn't matter; even if there are some things that are not rigorous enough, The Za family will never take the blame!"
"Thank you for the advice!" This marriage officer, who had a dark complexion and looked like a street person, explained bravely: "I heard that when Jiang Lu was in Beijing, he had an affair with Wu Desi. We have some connections with each other. I thought that I might be able to invite Jiang Lu to handle the case together. In this way..."
"Good! What a good idea." In front of the middle-aged eunuch, the nearest prison officer immediately clapped his knees and praised: "I heard that Jiang Lushi had extraordinary means and skills before he was captured by the imperial court. A person who makes an exception. If he can successfully handle the case together with Wu Deji, he can naturally be freed from the reputation of incompetence. If the progress is unfavorable, it will be easier to handle..."
Although he finished his words very quickly, the implication behind his words was that everyone present showed understanding expressions and became relieved and relieved. Anyway, Wu Desi has already suffered enough infamy, so this move is not worth the gain or loss; or in other words, he will not lose another piece of meat.
If things go wrong, it will just be a specific scapegoat; on the contrary, it will prove that that person is just a lucky guy who has a false reputation. But if it can achieve results and change the reputation of both the government and the opposition, it will undoubtedly be a good thing that has been earned for nothing.
"In this case, in order to win people's trust, I, Wu Desi, must also show enough sincerity!" In the end, the middle-aged eunuch weighed the interests carefully and accepted this in disguise, obviously feeling a little anxious. Random medical advice: "Do you have anything else to add?"
At the same time, Jiang Tian was invited to Xiwaiyuan, where the military guards were stationed and drilled. It just so happens that today is the day of the five-day military drill for soldiers in Beijing. Therefore, Jiang Tian was able to stand beside the school captain Liu Jingchang. Enjoyed a small military review, as well as the subsequent equipment confrontation and formation battle drills of horse rifle shooting and chariot formation.
For a moment, in the temporary battlefield on the ruins of the Han Palace, flags of various colors were standing or rolling back and forth, while swords and guns were flying, advancing and retreating, and attacking and defending like a weave. Even Jiang Tian, a half-hearted cold soldier fighting enthusiast, saw It was really lively and everyone was nodding their heads frequently. So when a team of sergeants with strange-shaped equipment appeared, the real drama arrived.
I saw that these sergeants were all lightly dressed in long gowns with arrow sleeves, and were only protected by half-length chainmail; the spearmen in the front row also held long lassoes, scratching hooks and hooks and sickles; they also had long swords and axes on their wings. The hands are equipped with specially reinforced and thickened shields and iron-faced small bucklers; and surrounded by them are archery sergeants carrying spears, throwing spears, and special crossbows.
In addition, there were several flat cars filled with spare equipment, and several pack horses carrying frames and luggage followed closely behind. Taking teams (25-33) as a unit, they formed a group/battle group that cooperated and covered each other. They marched into the ruins overgrown with grass one by one; the next moment, Jiang Tian heard a chorus of shouts and shouts. Roaring bursts.
Then, several crude models of exotic animals made of leather, cloth, bamboo, and lantern paper suddenly appeared among these jagged ruins. And there seems to be someone operating among them, and they are showing their teeth and claws like a lion dance performance in later generations, flying and climbing over the high and low places of the broken walls, and then flying down.
Then, I saw the battle group composed of sergeants suddenly dispersed where the alien beast model landed, avoiding most of the bites and in-situ collisions; and then under the shouts of the leader, With its back against the terrain, it uses scratching hooks and hook-and-scythe spears to poke, pull, and contain and drive away the alien beasts, and uses lasso poles and cast nets to limit their range of activities.
And when the strange beast, obviously played by an expert in the army, tried to jump up and escape in a conflict, it could only be beaten by various shields and shields blocked on the street and in the corners, coupled with the slashing and stabbing of long knives and axes. He intercepted and drove them back without hesitation. In the end, these strange beasts, whose manipulators had obviously exhausted their strength, were covered with spears and spears and shattered into pieces.
In this seemingly simple confrontation demonstration, there were also several sergeants who were accidentally injured for various reasons and were sent off the field with bloody wounds; which made this confrontation a bit more cruel and real. Well, in this era, you can actually play like this. Jiang Tian was also slightly stunned by their imaginative operation for a while.
"It's also thanks to Lu Shi's advice and guidance at the beginning that I managed to save the lives of my subordinates as much as possible; and the heads of those strange beasts and the captured beast messengers undoubtedly helped a lot." Liu Jingchang saw this. Then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's just that due to limited conditions, I can only do this now. But I don't know how I feel about recording things."
"If you ask me, it's pretty good that you can think of it to this point, but I think there are more improvements." Hearing this, Jiang Tian said sternly: "For example, to simulate the shell of a ferocious beast, you can use scale armor and thick leather; to test the effectiveness of cutting and stabbing with swords and spears, and at the same time, it can be mounted on the wheel hub and hoisted with ropes to simulate flat ground collisions and mid-air attacks."
"In addition, you should also pay attention to the characteristics of this ferocious beast that is weak during the day and strong at night. Try to avoid conflicts and encounters in narrow places at night. Control and induce it in open areas under clear weather, so that the killing is more effective. , it can also give full play to the advantages of numbers and coordination in battle; also, the skin of alien beasts is tough, but they are not resistant to fire and are afraid of strong light; so you can prepare some firearms appropriately; there is no need to force killing, as long as they can scare and drive away."
"Most exotic beasts lurk in the dark and rely on their keen sense of smell and hearing; therefore, beast masters often use the smells and sounds they have domesticated since childhood as inducements to control attacks; therefore, they can use irritating poisons in a targeted manner. Smoke balls and ashes are used to disrupt and destroy; even golden drums and gongs are used to interfere with their orders and cooperation; in this way, one can try to defeat them one by one and capture them on the spot."
"These strange beasts are just a little troublesome. After all, they are mostly driven by animal instincts." At this point, Jiang Tian found that there were many more listeners around him at some point, but he did not hide anything and continued: " The more troublesome thing is the kind of ghost people. Before the change, there are basically no symptoms and they are no different from ordinary people; but after taking the drug to mutate, they can maintain a limited consciousness, grow claws and burst out with great strength and speed; after being injured, they can suck flesh and blood to recover. That’s what makes it so hard to guard against.”
"Then, what should we do if we encounter such a ghost? Is there any way to identify and deal with it?" At this time, a general wearing a light purple military attaché uniform with a rhombus pattern and gray beard and hair had piercing eyes. God took the initiative and asked:
"There is no screening method yet, and more samples are needed for testing and verification." Jiang Tian shook his head slightly and said, "However, as far as I know, ghosts are also afraid of strong light and not resistant to fire, even more so than strange beasts. existence; and because it is a product of short-lived birth, it has a very short lifespan but recovers extremely quickly, so it is necessary to cut off the head immediately to be fatal."
