Zhang Shize returned to Nanyuan Camp and went directly to the arsenal located in the most remote location.
Due to safety considerations, the arsenal cannot be placed in the military camp dormitory area.
The Xuanwu Army has been trying to open this arsenal. He has learned from the Ministry of War that there is a large amount of gunpowder, as well as firearms and cannons. Especially the ten red cast-steel cannons, which make them very jealous.
While Jingying was not at home, they tried every method.
But the 20-centimetre-thick cast-steel door just couldn't be opened. The one-meter-thick reinforced concrete wall and the ceiling couldn't be opened either. So I never succeeded.
Zhang Shize led his guards and came directly here. He took out the key from his pocket and quickly opened the lock. A dozen soldiers pushed the heavy cast steel door, making a tooth-wrenching creaking sound.
Slowly hit the arsenal.
"Pull out ten red cannons and five hundred shells." Zhang Shize said with a gloomy face.
The officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp had long been furious. They had been able to restrain themselves before because Dingyuan Bo's military law was so majestic that no one dared to violate it. Yang Fan's remaining power was still there.
In addition, they also placed their hope on the court and the emperor to resolve the matter through formal means.
However, the result disappointed them. They thought that there were traitors in the court and they were not allowed to live. The barracks and supplies had been seized by others. They were given everything to eat and live in.
Now, the deputy commander has become the admiral of the military affairs of the capital camp. He gave orders to fight with the Xuanwu Army. Naturally, everyone fought bravely to be the first. Fortunately, Yang Fan's servants had weapons such as gunpowder projectiles, incendiary bombs, and trebuchets. They didn't have any.
Otherwise, in this atmosphere, they really dare to throw them all in and burn those bastards to death.
Dong Jishu is over fifty this year, but he actually doesn't want to bother anymore.
He just wanted to make a good living for a few years and go home to retire. However, the situation pushed him forward, and His Majesty and Dong Lin were supporting him behind. He could only bite the bullet and not let the army camp.
He was drinking in the military camp, in the small wooden villa where Yang Fan lived.
This small villa is not big. It is a two-story building with an area of more than 100 square meters. It is assembled entirely from wood materials. It was temporarily assembled when Yang Fan lived here. It was not demolished later and stayed here.
As a result, Dong Jishu fell in love with her and moved in directly.
He has never lived in such a comfortable house in his life.
After he moved in, he found that the two-story house was so comfortable that he really couldn't bear to move out.
During this period, the Xuanwu Army and the Beijing Camp clashed several times. However, both sides were very restrained and did not use knives or guns. They only fought with wooden sticks and the like.
When the Xuanwu Army started fighting, they discovered that they could not defeat the Beijing camp. More than five hundred people died. Now they are so scared that they dare not go out.
Fortunately, the walls of this camp are strong and the Beijing camp cannot break in.
He was eating braised pork and drinking soju when he saw Zuo Liangyu rushing in.
He put down his chopsticks with some displeasure. This guy always thought this was Liaodong. He had no manners at all.
"Commander, it's not good, the Beijing camp is surrounding us." Zuo Liangyu said in panic.
"Come on, what's all the fuss about?" Dong Jishu didn't take it seriously. They often hang around outside the wall.
"It's different this time. Forty thousand people were mobilized. They also opened the arsenal and pulled out ten red cannons. Everyone wore helmets and armor and held swords and guns. It seemed that they were serious and wanted to fight.
"
With a bang, Dong Jishu's wine cup fell to the ground.
He was so frightened that his face turned pale. Don't look at the past few days, he was standing at the gate of the military camp, talking nonsense to Mr. Zhang. He thought that the Jingying did not dare to attack them. How could he not know the strength of the Jingying?
.
Mongolia in southern Mongolia has been bulldozed, and Mongolia in desert Mongolia has been beaten away. Can we be afraid of him?
Does Mr. Zhang really dare to risk the disapproval of the world and open fire on his own people?
Isn't he afraid that the censor will impeach him?
"No, you are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Go and find Zhou Yuji, the deputy general of the carriage camp, and Lu Ping, the staff general of the Rumi gun camp. There is also Chang Song, the commander of the Jinyi cavalry."
Zuo Liangyu was also scared. Even though they were pretending to be fierce, they were actually scared to death. They were like a group of vicious dogs and tigers baring their teeth. If the tiger tried to get serious, they would immediately have diarrhea.
After a while, Zuo Liangyu found the three of them.
The current situation is that Deputy General Zhou Yuji is commanding 3,600 people in the car camp, which is the Hexi Guards Qianhu Station. The families of these soldiers are still living in that earth building. They are surrounded by ten acres of paddy fields for each family.
I still owe Yang Fan a debt.
Six thousand Lumi gunmen were also assigned to the chariot camp, because the chariot camp needed gunmen as a means of attack. Jinyiwei's cavalry of 5,000 people was also under Zhou Yuji's control. Zhou Yuji had 15,000 men, accounting for half of the Xuanwu Army.
troops.
Dong Jishu could only command 15,000 men. They were all his original troops. Those in Changping originally had only 6,000 men. They were defeated once by Japanese pirates. They were defeated once when suppressing the Jizhen mutiny.
Both times, the losses were considerable. Later, more troops were recruited and supplemented, and the scale reached 15,000 men.
Ordinarily, if they come in together, they should be used as cooperating troops with the car camp. After all, the infantry of these thirty battalions are not as effective as those in the car camp.
But Chongzhen's old habit of being suspicious returned, and he was afraid that Zhou Yuji would have too much power. So he promoted veteran Dong Jishu to the title of Governor of the Fifth Army Commandery to lead the Xuanwu Army.
As a result, the hitchhiker battalion has to cooperate with the infantry in combat. How to cooperate? The car battalion is a defensive force on the battlefield.
The backbone of the Xuanwu Army was originally people like Cheying, but now these outsiders have become the core. People like Cheying are quite dissatisfied.
In the Ming Dynasty's army, whoever becomes the commander-in-chief must have all kinds of benefits tilted towards him. Ever since Dong Jishu and others came to power, Zhou Yuji and others have become stepmothers. The conflict between the two sides is very sharp.
When Dong Jishu saw the three people coming, he quickly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, the visitors to the Beijing camp today are evil. We, the Xuanwu Army, must share the same hatred of the enemy and fight against the Beijing camp, otherwise they will take away the camp. We people can't do it."
There is no place to spend the winter."
Zhou Yuji's backer is Zhang Fengyi, who has always been promoted by Zhang Fengyi. However, Chongzhen liquidated the eunuchs. Zhang Fengyi built a shrine for Wei Zhongxian when he was serving as a soldier in Zunhua. He was impeached and resigned. Chongzhen did not approve it. Zhang Fengyi looked at the situation.
No, I just resigned due to illness.
Now, Zhou Yuji has no backer, so Dong Jishu and others dare to bully him.
Zhang Fengyi would not be promoted to Minister of War until the third year of Chongzhen, after the collapse of the Donglin cabinet. This will all happen next year.
Zhou Yuji cupped his hands lukewarmly and said, "It all depends on the military command."
However, everyone could see that there was no sincerity at all. The other two people also handed over their hands and said: "It all depends on the orders of the military gate." Then they stood aside without saying a word.
