The military camp of Taiyuan, Shanxi, facing his former subordinates and colleagues today. Although this book is made by Taiyuan General Sun Tianwu, the general of Taiyuan, was not convinced, but when he saw the imperial edict and general order in Zhang Wu, he had to kneel on one leg and salute Zhang Wu.

However, he did not really take Zhang Wu in front of him seriously. Because among the more than 10,000 Taiyuan garrisons under his command, there were as many as 2,000 private troops with excellent equipment and completely obeying his orders...

Two thousand private troops, no matter where they are placed, are a very powerful military force.

Therefore, the Taiyuan general Sun Tianwu did not take Wei Zheng seriously at all. In Sun Tianwu's eyes, if he and Wei Zheng really couldn't get along, he would be a third-rank general no matter where he went.

Therefore, facing Zhang Wu, who represented the Shanxi General Wei Zheng, the commander of the army to go to the military camp to order troops, Sun Tianwu directly expressed his ignorance. He did not even go back, and only ordered the deputy general to take Zhang Wu to the military camp to order troops, and then he took himself back to his mansion.

A series of deafening drums sounded in the vast Taiyuan garrison barracks. Looking around, there were almost few intact large barracks, teams of soldiers wearing leather armor and holding cold weapons. What's more, soldiers who didn't even wear leather armor rushed out of the barracks and rushed to the training ground.

With Zhang Wu's waiting, after the three-way drum passed, a large number of black soldiers had gathered in front of the platform, densely packed.

As a veteran who has been through the battlefield for a long time, Zhang Wu judged that the Taiyuan garrison in front of the general was absolutely not as many as 15,000 people reported by the Ministry of War, and even less than 10,000 people.

Sure enough, under Zhang Wu's gaze, the deputy commander of the commander walked to Zhang Wu with a majestic look on his face, knelt on the ground with one leg, and reported loudly: "The last time the deputy general of Taiyuan was joined... All the garrisons under the Taiyuan General Office have been assembled, with a total of 8,500 people. Please review..."

Zhang Wu frowned, raised the roster in his hand, and asked to the deputy general in front of him: "General Wang, this is the roster reported by the Taiyuan General Office to Shanxi General Office. According to the roster, the total strength of the Taiyuan General Office is 15,000. But why are there only 8,500 people here, and where are the remaining 6,500 people?"

"This..." Facing Zhang Wu with a serious look in front of him, the deputy general was asked so hard that he couldn't speak.

After half a minute, he replied without saying a word: "Sir, I have to ask General Sun for this question... The last general is only responsible for training troops. The general recruits as many soldiers as the general recruits, and the last general trains as many soldiers as the last general... "

"Well said... Since you are responsible for training soldiers, I'll see how you train these soldiers... General Wang, I don't need to remind you what to do next. Let me see your true skills..."

It’s true that in addition to the large shortage of troops, although the more than 8,000 soldiers in front of him are simple, each of them shows a well-trained and energetic spirit.

After some training, you can be sure that the more than 8,000 soldiers in front of you are definitely the best you have seen along the way and the most well-trained local garrisons.

Just as the solemn expression on Zhang Wu's face slowly relaxed and he showed a satisfied smile, a small military camp outside the military camp suddenly appeared in Zhang Wu's vision.

Zhang Wu, with a hint of confusion, subconsciously asked, "General Wang, is the military camp over there?"

"Although the distance is a little far away, I can be sure of one thing. Although the size of the military camp is not very large, the barracks are very neatly built..."

The deputy general in iron armor said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Sir, that is the military camp of two thousand private troops under the command of the general. A general is specially commanded by a general. Whether it is military pay or training, it has a different system..."

"Two thousand private troops, so many..." After listening to the report, Zhang Wu, who was standing on the stage, couldn't help but exclaim.

After exclaiming, a sudden enlightenment appeared on Zhang Wu's face. He said to Deputy General Wang in front of him: "Now I finally know why there are such a large gaps of 6,500 troops in Taiyuan Prefecture. It turns out that these gaps were used by your general to raise private soldiers... OK, it's great..."

Seeing that Deputy General Wang wisely chose to keep silent, Zhang Wu, who was backed by the 500 Tiger and Leopard Army Musketeers, had a strange smile flashed directly on his face.

After a brief thought, he asked Deputy General Wang in front of him: "General Wang, I want to know whether the so-called private troops received military pay from the General's Office, whether the equipment provided by the General's Office was used, and whether the food paid by the General's Office was eaten."

Although he didn't want to answer this question, under Zhang Wu's murderous gaze, Deputy General Wang still answered with embarrassment: "Yes, sir... As far as the last general knows, these two thousand private soldiers have almost used half of the food and salary allocated to the Taiyuan General's Mansion every year by the Ministry of War. Otherwise, the more than 8,000 soldiers here would not have fallen to the point where one person and one piece of leather armor would not be able to be divided."

After hearing this answer, Wei Zheng's smile became even stronger.

He said to Deputy General Wang without hesitation: "Okay, this is the answer I want..."

"Since these two thousand private troops received military pay from the court, used equipment from the court, and ate food from the court, then these soldiers were the court's army..."

Speaking of this, a strong murderous aura quickly appeared on Zhang Wu's face. He ordered to Deputy General Wang in front of him: "General Wang, I wonder if you have the courage to go with me to meet these two thousand private troops for a while... If you want, you will bring the most elite thousand soldiers in the army and join me to collect these two thousand so-called private troops..."

Deputy General Wang, who was kneeling in front of Zhang Wu, did not speak, but quietly fell into deep thought and analyzed the pros and cons.

However, when Deputy General Wang's eyes suddenly shifted to the five hundred musketeers behind Zhang Wu, a light flashed quickly on his thoughtful face.

Although I have never seen the real combat power of these musketeers, just from the first intuitive impression, Deputy General Wang can decisively say that the combat power of the five hundred musketeers in front of him can definitely be described as the word "strong".

Just after his eyes turned to Zhang Wu's confident body again, Deputy General Wang finally understood why Zhang Wu in front of him dared to come to Taiyuan with such confidence and dared not take the two thousand well-equipped private troops seriously.
