Zhenwu camp is located between the purple mountain and the old forbidden city, the camp stretches for several miles, the scale seems to be larger than the LinHuaiHou’s navy camp, but also a set camp, and did not divide the camp and stand.
The camp placed antlers, standing fence, every two hundred metres there is also a sentry tower, sentry tower on the bed crossbow, spears like crossbow ready to fire; camp inside there is also a base of earth built two turrets, dark black Franco guns placed in the turret, bowl mouth barrels pointing diagonally up to the sky, deterrent effect is full.
It seems to be heavily guarded.
But when he got closer, Zhu Pingan couldn’t help but frown slightly, this is a look-alike, the hardware is good, but the software doesn’t work. Franco artillery in front of no one on duty, just a few guns sitting bare on the turret, just like a sculpture. Sentry tower on the sentry should be guarded, but did not do their duty, they will be the sentry tower as a happy field, back to the barracks outside, facing the barracks, sitting on the ground around the paddle boxing and eating wine …….Even when they looked up between drinks, it was in the direction of the barracks. ……
Zhu Pingan and his party had walked all the way to thirty metres in front of the barracks without seeing any sentry towers sending out warning messages.
The guards at the door are also gathered together, do not know what to do, until Zhu Pingan line to the entrance of the regulator, they only found Zhu Pingan line of people, a guard slightly panicked what a thing stuffed into his arms, a few guards went forward to ask, “come to the people to stop, what are you doing?”
“This official, Commander Zhu Pingan of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Tidings and Prosecution Division, has an appointment with your Governor Wei Guo Gong, please report to me.”Zhu Pingan stepped forward and arched his hand, taking out a name card from his sleeve and handing it to the guard at the front.
The guard took Zhu Pingan’s name card and turned his head to ask the guards behind him, “Do any of you know how to read?!”
“Oh, head, the words know me, I don’t know it.”
“Head, aren’t you talking rubbish, if we could read, who would still come here to be big-headed soldiers!”
The crowd of guards laughed.
“Scram, scram, don’t know how to read and have the face to laugh.”The leading guard turned around and scolded the laughing guards.
“Head, can you read?”The guards asked with a laugh.
“You guys are the ones who are talking rubbish, if I could fucking read and write I would still be asking you guys!”The lead guard scolded them again.
“Head, you don’t need to be literate to go in and pass the message, let’s just pass the name card inside.”
A guard reminded.
“Well, you simple goods, it’s rare for you to be smart for once, here, you go in and pass it on.”
The leading guard shoved the name badge into his arms, patted his shoulder, and pushed him inside the camp with one hand.
This is not like a soldier, it is clearly a city scoundrel, Zhu Pingan could not help but pull the corner of his mouth.
After about tea time, a deputy general dressed as a man and Li II walked out from the camp.
Zhu Pingan was surprised to see Li Er, how Li Er is in Zhenwu camp, look at Lin Huaihou is also in Zhenwu camp today.
“Ta-Jen Zhu, the last general has been ordered by the governor to welcome you into the camp.”The Vice General cupped his fists to Zhu Pingan from afar.
“Fifth Aunt, Marquis and Duke Wei are waiting for you inside the camp.”Li Er Er came running upside down and bowed.
“Thank you, General, Steward Li.”Zhu Pingan smiled and bowed back.
“You guys are blind, why are you still dumbfounded, why don’t you quickly open the yamen gate wide and invite Lord Zhu and his party to enter.”The vice general glared at the guards at the entrance and reprimanded them without any goodwill, ordering them to open the regulator gate wide.
The yamen gate opened wide, and Zhu Pingan and his party entered the Zhenwu Camp barracks under the guidance of the vice general and Li II.
“Bah……What’s so godly about it, isn’t it just a dog of the straw ……Just wait, there’s something for you to see.”
Zhu Pingan’s ears were much sharper than normal people, and after walking for some distance, he vaguely heard the guards at the entrance spitting and cursing in low voices.
The one dog in their mouth refers to the Vice General, what about the straw bag? It can’t be cursing Duke Wei for being a straw bag, right? Duke Wei was so unpleasant amongst the soldiers of Zhenwu Battalion? Zhu Pingan’s eyes couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
After walking within the military camp for about a tea time, he arrived at the Duke of Wei’s marquee, and the vice general went in to report.
“Hahaha, virtuous nephew has come to visit, I have missed the opportunity to welcome you.”Duke Wei and Marquis Linhuai walked out of the marital tent, smiling and exchanging pleasantries.
“Uncle is overstated.”Zhu Pingan stepped forward and arched his hand, and greeted Marquis Linhuai, “Uncle, you are also in Zhenwu camp today.”
“I happen to have official business to come today, and by the way, I will supervise this old guy for you, so as to save him from reneging on his words.”
Marquis Lin Huai said with a smile.
“You’re really salty about carrots, I, Xu Renmin, am a man of my word, would I go back on my word like you.”
Duke Wei blankly glanced at Marquis Lin Huai, sarcastically commenting on Marquis Lin Huai’s stature, the two of them grew up wearing the same trousers and were used to fighting.
“Bullshit, what eating my words and getting fat, I’m broad-minded and fat, unlike you who is narrow-minded and skinny, like a bean sprout that collapses when the wind blows.”Marquis Linhuai was naturally not willing to show weakness and sarcastically said that Duke Wei was thin looking.
“Don’t worry, Xian Nephew, I’ve already had the things counted and have placed them in the treasury. Vice General Xu, you take the people under your nephew to receive it, one hundred sets of tents, one hundred pairs of armour, two hundred cannons, and ten stones of gunpowder, not a single bit should be missing, if a bit is missing I’ll hold you accountable. Also, if the carriages and horses brought by your nephew are not enough, you can transfer some carriages and horses from within the camp.”
After disliking each other with Marquis Linhuai for a moment, Duke Wei said to Zhu Pingan with a smile, then ordered his lieutenant generals to take Liu Mu, Liu Dazhou and the others to go to the storehouse to receive the military supplies promised to Zhu Pingan.
“Here.”Vice General Xu arched his hand and received the order, then said to Liu Mu and the others, “You all follow me.”
“You all listen to Vice General Xu’s arrangements.”Zhu Pingan said to Liu Mu and the others.
“As you wish, Your Excellency.”Liu Mu, Liu Dazhou, and the others led the officers of the Tidings Division to follow Vice General Xu as he went forward to receive the military supplies.
“Xian nephew, the wind is tight outside, quickly please enter the tent and drink a cup of hot tea to warm your body.”Duke Wei invited.
“Uncle please.”Zhu Pingan arched his hand in courtesy.
The Duke of Wei and Marquis Linhuai entered the tent first, and Zhu Pingan then entered the marquee. The Duke of Wei’s marquee was very expensive and comfortable, and the chair in the middle was covered with a piece of tiger skin, and in the middle of the marquee was a table with a gurgling and bubbling pot, which was considered to be the earliest form of the hotpot.The most striking thing was the plates of freshly cut mutton, the quality of which was excellent, including cucumber strips, sheep’s brains, mutton tendons, and cleaned haggis; three small wine pots were warmed on the table, and the intoxicating aroma of wine wafted out from the spouts of the pots, making the whole table of shabu-shabu extraordinarily appetising; the wine must have been very good, and Zhu Pingan, who was such a non-drinker, couldn’t help but feel a little bit of lip gloss when he smelled this intoxicating aroma of wine!
