The sky high birds fly, cloudless, bright sun hanging high, wind and air clear, really a rare good weather in the winter months.
A few guards are sitting on the ground at the gate of the big school sun warm, while shaking the colour it, suddenly heard a burst of hoofbeats, looked up and saw the front came a set of people, the front of a few riding a high horse are wearing official uniforms, accompanied by a set of people behind the armour with a hand sword of the tiger guards, a strong as an ox, although do not recognise the people, but at a glance I know that it is a big head.
A few guards scrambled to get up, a clever guard kicked the colour into the withered grass, to avoid eating hanging down.
Soon, an armour-clad tiger guard came on horseback and said loudly, “Governor Zhang Jing, Zhao Wenhua, Minister of the Ministry of the Army, Huang, Yingtian guard Wei Guo Gong, Zhejiang inspector Hu, inspecting the school camp, coming to the camp, you and others do not open the door to welcome all the adults into the camp.”
As soon as several guards heard Zhang Jing’s name, without saying a word, they went forward and opened the gate. It’s true that the name of a man is the shadow of a tree, Governor Zhang is the highest officer in Jiangnan, all the generals and soldiers in Jiangnan are under his control, not to mention opening the gate to welcome you, it’s not too much to ask to be an ancestor.
That just kicked the colour of the clever guards rushed in to report their marshal, Governor Zhang and his entourage came.
“I respectfully welcome the Governor General, respectfully welcome all the adults.” Several other guards knelt on both sides of the yamen gate to greet them.
Zhang Jing and his party didn’t even look at them, and steered their horses past them, heading straight to the depths of the camp.
“See, this is the aura of the Governor, that sense of oppression, swallowing ten thousand miles like a tiger.”
One of the guards kneeling on the ground waited until Zhang Jing and his party steered their horses into the depths of the barracks before he dared to raise his head, looking at Zhang Jing’s back as they steered their horses past, and said with a palpitating look on his face.
“呸呸呸，总督气吞不吞万里如虎我不知道，反正总督他们踏马过去，我吞了不少土……”身边的一个守卫呸呸呸了好几口，吐出了好几口混浊的口水。
Zhang Jing and his entourage went straight to the main camp, which was divided into two distinct groups, one group being drilled, and the other being watched. The group of onlookers are the generals of the Campus Camp, the armour and weapons are obviously on a higher level; the group of drillers are the generals from abroad, the armour and weapons are not as good as the generals of the Campus Camp, but the spirit of the spirit has been better than ever.
Zhang Jing assumed the governorship, in addition to ordering the recruitment of the two GuangZhou wolf soldiers, shandong gun soldiers, also recruited fujian, hunan, hubei, zhejiang and other provinces generals, these foreign transferred to the generals, already some of the one after the other arrived, zhang jing people will be arranged in the different capital camps.
Zhang Jing had them placed in different Beijing camps. This arrangement would solve the problem of food and lodging for them, and also make it easier for them to be drilled by the generals of the Beijing camps.
The capital battalion itself also had this function, in addition to guarding Yingtian and the imperial tombs, it also had the function of rotating the training of foreign officers and soldiers.
This group of foreign generals numbered around three thousand men, transferred from Hubei, and Zhang Jing had placed them in the Great Schoolyard Camp.
“My humble servant pays homage to Lord Governor, Lord Zhao, Lord Wei, Lord Huang, and Royal Historian Hu……. I didn’t know that all the lords had come to visit, my humble servant has missed the welcome, and I hope that all the lords will atone for their sins.”
The commander in chief of the large schoolyard camp, Lord Zhang, after receiving the guards’ report, did not dare to delay, and jogged all the way over, panting, and went up to arch his hand and pay his respects to Zhang Jing, Zhao Wenhua, Wei Guo Gong, and Hu Zongxian, saying that he forgives his sins.
“Lord Zhang, red tape is not necessary, you give us the situation of the great schoolyard battalion, the geometry of your battalion’s generals, the geometry of the guest soldiers, how is the food and grass, how is the equipment, and how is the drill situation ……”
Zhang Jing impatiently waved his hand, and did not talk nonsense with Lord Zhang. straightforwardly inquired about the specifics.
“Yes, yes, back to the Governor General, I have a total of 30,000 generals in the Great Campus Battalion …… ” Lord Zhang bowed and returned.
“I’m asking about the actual number of people on your battalion’s rolls, not how many of you are compiled, does your battalion have 30,000 actual soldiers and horses?”
Zhang Jing swept a glance at the generals of the Great Campus Battalion and interrupted Lord Zhang’s words with a grimace as he questioned.
Zhang Jing had just taken a general glance at the generals of the Great Schoolyard Battalion as well as the number of tents in the battalion, and knew that Lord Zhang was lying.
Immediately, Lord Zhang blushed in vain and said under his breath, “Realistically, the actual number of people in the camp is twenty-three thousand five hundred ……” “Is there
twenty-three thousand? Return to me realistically.” Zhang Jing looked at him with burning eyes and interrupted him again with an impatient face.
“Cough ……” Lord Zhang couldn’t help but cough, one hand unable to wipe the cold sweat from his head.
“The actual number of people on the Great Campus Battalion’s rolls is twelve thousand seven hundred and ninety-eight, of which there are a total of eight thousand three hundred and fifty-one strong soldiers under the age of forty-five, a total of three thousand eight hundred and ninety-three between the age of forty-five and fifty-five or older, and the remaining five hundred or so are over the age of fifty-five. Among them, there were 3,890 elite soldiers who had been trained for more than three years, while the rest had been trained for less than one year. Hubei guest soldiers a total of three thousand one hundred and eighty people, all are forty-five years of age below the strong soldiers, but most of them are less than a year of training recruits; large school camp existing armour three thousand pairs, three thousand strong bow, crossbow nine hundred, eight hundred sets of cannons ……”
Just at this time, a magnetic voice rang out, as if counting down the number of the school camp
, he said. As if counting his family’s treasures, he recounted the situation of the Great Campus Battalion in detail.
Who is the speaker?
How do you know so much about the situation of the Great Campus Camp, as if it were a family treasure, is it the vice general of the Great Campus Camp?
All the people were surprised and turned their heads to look at the person who was narrating, and then could not help but widen their eyes, unexpectedly discovering that the person who was speaking was not a person from the Grand Campus Battalion, but Hu Zongxian, who was standing together with Zhao Wenhua.
How did Hu Zongxian know so much about the situation of the Great Schoolyard Battalion?
Everyone’s eyes widened in surprise.
Of course, to say that they were surprised, the one who was most surprised belonged to the Grand Campus Battalion’s Lord Zhang, although he was the Grand Campus Battalion’s Commander-in-Chief, he didn’t know the situation of the Grand Campus Battalion like Hu Zongxian did. He now can not say the number of specific generals, can only say a rough, at most specific to the hundred, and then down the number of details will not be able to, because this period of time one after another recruited a lot of new generals, but also laid off some of the old, weak, sick and disabled, he has to look at the army book to say the specific number of generals, as for the number of armour, bows and crossbows, and the number of cannons, he can not remember to look at the records of the treasury in order to be clear; not to mention the specific soldiers to drill! As for the number of armour, crossbows and cannons, he couldn’t remember them, he had to look at the records in the treasury to get a clear picture; not to mention the specific drills of the soldiers.
As the main general of the Campus Battalion, he didn’t understand the specifics, but he didn’t expect Hu Zongxian to understand it so clearly, as if he knew it by heart.
“How is it that Imperial Minister Hu is so clear?” Zhang Jing asked.
“Back to the Governor, the next official has the duty of rectifying the military appearance and discipline, after arriving at the office often come to each camp to inspect and supervise, the situation of each camp, the next official is basically mastered, and the next official just came to the big schoolyard camp the day before yesterday, only two days, I think that the situation of the big schoolyard camp should not be changed.” Hu Zongxian arched his hand and returned.
“Imperial Minister Hu has the heart.”
Zhang Jing nodded approvingly, but after seeing Hu Zongxian standing with Zhao Wenhua, he frowned again.
