In desperation, Zhao Bing quickly figured out what was going on. It turned out that the mountain brigade thought they were very dissatisfied with the arrangement of the reserve army, and thought they looked down on them, so he asked Zhang Shijie to fight and demanded to be the main attacker. The main attack and assist were arranged by the emperor. Zhang Shijie did not dare to make decisions, so he said that after discussing with His Majesty, he would make a decision. According to common sense, Shushu said that it would be indirectly rejected, but these slang soldiers were straightforward and did not have so many "minds", so they did not understand the meaning of the words, so they asked every day.
Zhang Shijie has been together in the court for so many years, and of course he knows that the mountain brigade is the son of the emperor's father-in-law's family, and the future imperial concubine is among them. The casualties of the troops serving as the main attack are often the greatest. Not only can they not explain it, but even the little emperor cannot explain it. It would be even more heartbroken if they hurt the princess. But reporting this matter to the emperor is like asking him for trouble, just to curse him. So he avoided him and hid out. Thinking that they would give up if they couldn't find anyone, they would be relieved until the war started.
Unexpectedly, the slang soldiers were not only straight-minded, but they were always anxious if they couldn't find anyone. Today, Li Sanniang led the entire army to the commander's tent to ask for a fight, saying that he would not leave if he didn't get a reply. Zhang Shijie had long been hiding, and Ni Liang was the highest-ranking one, but he was also famous for being stupid. After going up, he was defeated in a few sentences. Faced with the future imperial concubine, he could not enforce military laws, nor could he use his power to suppress others, and he dared not beat and scold him. However, it was not a problem for a group of people to stand quietly in front of the commander's tent. After thinking about it, there was no way, so he could only let the emperor take care of his wife.
Zhao Bing also had a headache when he heard this, but those sharp and slippery guys hid, and Ni Liang, a fool, were obviously looking at his weakness. However, it was difficult to deal with this matter. According to the military law, the behavior of the mountain brigade was definitely enough to be more serious and violated the iron law of "respecting the class", and the leader would be the one who was the leader. But the matter also involved the emperor's housework, and the future imperial concubine would be killed. Who dared to issue this order? Even if the law is enforced impartially, the emperor can let it go, and the empress dowager cannot pass the hurdle!
Zhao Bing thought about it and could not take the blame. He had to come forward in person. But what should he do? If he learns from Sun Bin to kill him to warn him, it would be enough to intimidate the three armies for at least twenty years, but the sequelae are also great. The hat of ungratefulness cannot be taken off, and if it is not done well, it will cause slander changes. If he is not punished, he will be favoritism and abuse of power and will be difficult to convince the public. How can he control the situation in the future? It is equivalent to smashing the brand that he has worked hard to manage for many years.
"Let's go, it's really troublesome!" Zhao Bing thought about what he did, it was wrong anyway. It was not a problem for so many people to stand at the door of the handsome tent. He went to adapt to the situation. So he put on his military uniform and left the palace gate. Chen Dun led a team of guards to follow him. Ni Liang hesitated for a moment and chased after him.
The tent of the commander was not far from the palace in the former site of Jingmingyuan, under Ciyun Ridge, the southern suburb of Lin'an City. After only two quarters of an hour of riding a horse, tens of thousands of troops set up camps and stationed in various places. When Zhao Bing entered the village gate, he saw that the guards of the camp were three steps and five steps. The first brigade of the guards who served as the guard of the Central Army was fully armed as if facing the enemy. Seeing the emperor coming in person, Tian Zhong brought a battalion of troops to escort the guards.
"Why are you so nervous?" Zhao Bing asked Tian Zhong with a frown.
"Your Majesty, the mountain brigade's army has more than 3,000 people broke into the central army with their weapons this morning until Shuaitang was about to meet Shushu. Shushu went to the north of the city to explore the city early in the morning and has not returned yet. The subordinates were worried that there would be any changes, so they ordered them to be more vigilant." Tian Zhong replied.
"Yeah, it's not bad!" Zhao Bing nodded and asked again, "What's the situation inside?"
"Report to Your Majesty, after entering the gate, the mountain brigade gathered in front of the hall. After learning that the Shushu was not there, he kept standing quietly. He did not act excessively. It seems that his subordinates were trying to force the palace." Tian Zhong replied.
"They just stood there!" Zhao Bing saw rows of mountain brigade soldiers standing in the small square in front of Jingming Courtyard through the gate. He asked with his face turned around.
"Report to Your Majesty, I have been like this since I entered. I have never moved, and I don't eat or drink!" Tian Zhong replied.
"Well, you should not follow me," Zhao Bing waved his hand.
"Relieve the alert?! If your Majesty is in case..." Tian Zhong was stunned when he heard this.
"Look at the fact that they are not wearing armor or bows, they do not seem to be rebelling. It is clearly just asking for battle. Instead, you are nervous and fully armed preparing for the war. If you don't do it, you will get fire. You have to do something if you have nothing to do!" Zhao Bing pointed at Ni Liang and Tian Zhong with a horse whip, and said with a look of regret.
"What Your Majesty said is, but after all, they still have a spear in their hands, so they must not hurt people..." Tian Zhong saw that it was indeed the case, but he still did not dare to relax his vigilance.
"Stop talking nonsense, disband!" At this time, Ni Liang winked at Tian Zhong.
"Yes, I'll send orders to contact the alert!" Although Tian Zhong didn't understand very well, he still obeyed the order to lift the alert.
"Well, I'll tell your fire army to make more meals, and make more sums, and the account will be settled on me!" Zhao Bing ordered again.
"Your Majesty, this..." Tian Zhong was stunned. The little emperor still has to take care of his family!
"They stood there for a day and were not hungry! By the way, I'll send some water in first." Zhao Bing turned his head and said, "Just let Ni Liang and Chen Dun accompany me in, you don't have to go there."
"Do as your Majesty's instructions, there is nothing to do!" Tian Zhong looked at Ni Liang again, and he winked.
Zhao Bing shut down everyone and drove his horse to the gate and dismounted the horse and handed it over to the guards as the rules, allowing them to wait on the spot. Ni Liang and Chen Dun, one guard on the left and one right, were next to the little emperor, and walked towards Shuaitang with their heads raised their heads and walked towards Shuaitang.
"Your Majesty is here, salute!" The sentry on duty in front of the Shuai Hall stood at the sight and saluted, and Zhao Bing and the other two returned the salute and continued to move forward.
"Standing at the sight, salute!" Zhao Bing walked to the mountain brigade and commanded Wu Qin loudly issued a command. But he saw thousands of people holding spears in their hands to their chests, and quickly turned to holding them in one hand, raising their right arm to salute, allowing him to appreciate the style of a gun like a forest and a dragon like a dragon.
"Put down the gun, rest!" Zhao Bing replied with a gift and glanced at the queue and issued a password.
The three thousand long spears of "博" made a loud noise at the same time. After the soldiers turned to standing with guns, they made a little move. The whole process was uniform and well-trained. Zhao Bing also breathed a sigh of relief. They followed their orders and showed that they still admitted that they were the commander and the emperor, and had no intention of rebellion.
The mountain brigade can be said to be a powerful brigade with a distinctive dynasty. They were led by Li Ren, and Li Yiren's nephew was the commander, but the actual controller was Li Sanniang. This team was the only army in the imperial guards sequence that mainly used cold weapons as the battle weapon. They were still wearing old military uniforms, wearing leather armor, crossbows, holding long spears, carrying four-foot swords, and fighting on foot.
The spears held by this group are very distinctive. They are similar to those used by the "White Rod Soldiers" in Guangxi, which was famous in the Ming Dynasty in the later Ming Dynasty. They use the local tough hardwood as the handle, and the tip of the gun is equipped with a bladed hook and sickle spear, and the bell has an iron ring. During combat, the hook can be cut or pulled, and the ring can be used as a hammer weapon. If necessary, dozens of spears are hooked and looped together, which can be used as a tool for climbing mountains and climbing walls.
After they formed an army, they were stationed in Daning Village, not in the city, to defend against the north bank of Qiongzhou and suppress the chaos. This is why the mountain brigades became the most mysterious unit of the Qiongzhou Army. With their special identity, everyone regarded them as the guards of the little emperor. No one dared to dispatch errands, and Zhao Bing would not provoke them for trouble. Therefore, except for going to the new military camp to take turns training and attend routine school reviews, they rarely appeared outside, but the military funds and salary were never owed.
Zhao Bing had no choice but to come here with a tough time, but the two sides had never communicated. He was actually very worried that the mountain brigade would not obey his orders or do excessive behaviors. However, after a try, nothing that embarrassed him, so he felt relieved. However, he still had a tense face, walked from the head of the team to the end of the team and returned to the front of the queue, swept over the front of the army with a sharp look. Whether it was because of his "fame" or his fear of his identity, their eyes were a little flustered and their breathing became quick.
"Are you not tired after standing for a day?" Zhao Bing felt relieved most of his heart and asked with a slow expression.
"..." But there was no response in the queue, but stared at me and didn't know how to answer.
"Stand at attention and sit down!" Zhao Bing understood. They couldn't understand the words, and said with a simple expression.
‘Bang!’
‘Puu!’ The soldiers put down their spears and sat on the ground. They stood for most of the day and couldn’t stand the physical fitness. What surprised Zhao Bing was that no one among them fainted, especially the group of female soldiers in the queue was no exception. It can be seen that their qualities were not only difficult for the imperial guards to achieve, but they were afraid that the imperial guards would not be able to do all of them.
"You guys come and sit here!" Zhao Bing also sat down on the ground, waved his hand and asked Wu Qin and Li Sanniang to sit over and said.
"Come on, drink some water!" At this time, Tian Zhong sent someone to bring the water in. Of course, so many people could not drink it in a teapot or tea bowl, but it was filled with a wooden barrel, with a scoop of water attached to it. After the two of them came over, Zhao Bing pointed at the bucket, but found that not only the two of them, but no one below did to scoop water.
"Your Majesty, you are not thirsty!" Wu Qin licked his lips and said.
"Aren't you thirsty?" Zhao Bing looked at Li Sanniang and asked softly, while looking up and down at this future wife who hadn't seen for many years. She has grown taller now and seems to have grown up. She is much more attractive than the dark little girl back then. In addition, wearing military uniforms has a different charm, but if she hadn't learned about it in advance, she would definitely not recognize her.
"Your Majesty..." Li Sanniang did not dare to look directly at the little emperor's gaze, and called out to His Majesty and shook his head and said.
"Oh, I'm thirsty." Zhao Bing saw their lips dry and chapped, and they were not thirsty, and they were almost exhausted. And they refused to drink water because they were afraid that they would take medicine. He smiled and scooped half a scoop of water from the bucket and drank it all, and threw it down intentionally or unintentionally, showing that he had indeed drunk it.
"Aren't you thirsty?" Zhao Bing turned his face and said to Ni Liang and Chen Dun standing behind him.
"Oh, when your Majesty mentioned it, I am indeed thirsty." Chen Dun was so sensual that he couldn't hear the meaning of the little emperor's words. He replied with a smile. He pulled Ni Liang, who was still confused, and walked to the bucket next to the queue and took a sip of the water in each bucket.
"Your Majesty, humble duty..." Wu Qin blushed and his neck was thick and stammering, and he couldn't say anything.
"Oh!" Li Sanniang sighed softly, reached out and scooped half a scoop of water to drink it in one gulp, and handed it to Wu Qin. He quickly scooped the water and poured it into his stomach. The other soldiers were already thirsty and stood up to drink water in front of the bucket, but even so, they were still orderly and without any confusion.
"Oh, your generals have trained very well!" Zhao Bing smiled when he saw this.
"Your Majesty, this is the responsibility of a humble position!" Wu Qin bowed and said.
"Yes, you can train these slang soldiers into a powerful force. It seems that you have put your heart into it!" Zhao Bing said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is all the contributions of the young master, but he dare not take the position." Wu Qin looked at Li Sanniang and replied.
"Hehe, is that right? I didn't expect you to have this ability." Zhao Bing looked at Li Sanniang who had been hanging his head and silently said.
"I... I am just a fool, and I can't compare to His Majesty." Li Sanniang hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to claim herself, but after thinking about it, she still couldn't say it out.
"Your Majesty, the young master has been taught by famous scholars since he was a child, and he has also studied in the new army with a pseudonym. He still studies hard today. Now he can plan and fight with a gun to kill the enemy." Wu Qin of course knew the relationship between the two, and was afraid that His Majesty would misunderstand, so he quickly added.
"Your Majesty, the meal is ready!" Tian Zhong came over and reported.
"Send it up, I'll have dinner here!" Zhao Bing nodded and said.
"Your Majesty, what's the point?" Wu Qin turned around and asked Chen Dun softly after hearing this.
"Your Majesty knew that you had been standing in front of Shuaitang for a day. Before the water was in, he asked General Tian to prepare meals for you so that the soldiers would not be hungry." Chen Dun said the reason and sneered twice, "But not only do you not appreciate it, but you are also worried about poisoning in the water. Your Majesty treats others sincerely, but you have the heart of a villain. If it were me...hehe!"
"Stop talking, Commander Wu is just looking for war, just to show his ambition!" Zhao Bing glared at Chen Dun and said.
"Your Majesty, you are guilty of humble duties!" Li Sanniang stood up and politely apologized.
"Oh, what's the only crime for you?" Zhao Bing said in surprise.
"Your Majesty, I led my army to break into the gate and demonstrated before the commander's tent. I have violated the laws of the army. I would like to ask your Majesty to punish me!" Li Sanniang said.
"While knowing that he violated military rules, but he did it, what crime should he be punished?" Zhao Bing looked at Li Sanniang and said slowly. He thought that this little lady had a good idea. If she couldn't cure him now and would make her angry at all times in the future, that would be great.
