Chapter 366: The Capital, Qin Army, Internal Official

When Jiang Feng left North Korea, the Haimai Trade Company in Huazhou began to reserve silver. Jiang Feng went outside the customs this time to buy all these manors with money. Although it would be a big number, for Jiang Feng, there is no money to make, and territory and population are the most important.

No one expected that the Mongols fought and a bloody battle with the Wastu people scared away the owners of the manor outside the pass.

Although Jiang Feng was extremely dangerous in the battle, most of the risks and interests were symbiotic. This time he fought the Tartars away, his power and reputation of martial arts spread all over the world. When he accepted those manors, it was much simpler. Even if he was willing to react, he had to consider whether he could be compared with the 60,000 troops of Wastu. But then again, the advantages and disadvantages of the battle between the narrow roads in the valley were greatly limited by many people. In addition, Jiang Feng had sufficient preparation there and firearms to assist in the battle, so he achieved such a victory.

However, how could outsiders know about the battle situation? Everyone just knew that Jiang Feng defeated more with less and was invincible in martial arts.

Although the acceptance was smooth, Jiang Feng was not ready to turn against the owners of the reclamation manors in the pass, especially those nobles with backgrounds in the capital. He arranged for Haimao and Huazhou Prefecture to start preparing silver, and was preparing to redeem these manors, or sharing of interests.

Jiang Feng wants manpower and territory, and the other party wants gold and silver. At least for now, there is no conflict. However, the reaction of the Beijing Merchants Group this time can be said to be too slow...

In fact, Yizhou knew about the victory of Jiang Feng, which was much faster than the capital, because now the borders of Liao Town and Ji Town are completely stationed and ready, and the traffic between trade routes and various news has been cut off for a long time, and the range of activities of the army's horse exploration is not too large.

It will take a long time for the collapsed Wastu army to be noticed by these border troops. Moreover, Jiang Feng also strictly ordered the military and civilians to approach the border, not to mention the spread of information. Instead, the news was quickly passed to North Korea and then continued to spread to all directions through sea ships.

I don’t know whether the thorns were defeated or were on high alert. The current direction of the capital is full of large troops.

The 12th Regiment Battalion was stationed at was not far from the capital, which was also to facilitate mobilization and quick response when there was something wrong. Although there was an alarm on the frontier, there were nine border troops in the northern Zhili and surrounding areas, as well as Baoding's reserve team. They had not used the Beijing camp to fight for many years.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness can only be said to be barely forced. There has been a bad phenomenon of "the rogues in the capital joining the army". In addition, the chief and deputy admirals of the Beijing camp are both eunuchs and nobles with powerful government and opposition. Shuntian Prefecture and the Wucheng Military and Masjids did not dare to meddle in other people's business, so the Beijing camp has always indulged itself.

Although it was dark now, the Jingying camp was still noisy and like a market. The Ming army punished the unauthorized sound at night, such as cutting off noses and ears, but the Jingying camp is not like this at all. If you get in, you can still hear the sound of silk and bamboo.

The officers in the Beijing camp are often from noble families. To put it bluntly, except for a few outstanding people, the rest are those playboys who cannot endure hardships and cannot live without alcohol and talent all day long. Anyway, the distance between the capital and the 12th Regiment Battalion is not too far away, so the female musicians brought them directly here. The chief is like this, let alone restrain his subordinates. The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Some soldiers gather together to gamble, some drink secretly, and are full of ugly things.

In such a bad environment, a camp in the north of the capital was very quiet. If it weren't for the guards standing at the gate of the camp, and the soldiers who occasionally passed by a team of soldiers patrolling with lanterns in the camp, you would have thought it was an empty camp, and the residents around you were also very surprised.

The only lights are on in the center of the military tent, where a few people are talking quietly. A few simple-dressed officers sat around the table, and the things on the table are simple, including large pieces of mutton and a few cans of white wine in the clay pot.

The officer sitting in the middle had a very neat beard on his face, obviously he cared about it. His food was much more elegant than his colleagues around him. He picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, put it down and said slowly:

"I thought we were going out to fight the Tartars this time, but why did we stay by the edge of the capital..."

When an officer sitting next to gnawing at the bones heard this, he wiped his hands at his mouth with a slight slight voice:

"Brother Zhou, it's better not to go to war. Those who are killing the Tartars in Yulin are eating meat, drinking, and sleeping. Damn, we have gone around the camp these days. These are soldiers, obviously coaxing children, and they are still lying around the capital. If the Tartars go over, what are these grandchildren?

The man who was called "Brother Zhou" frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Guan Hai, this is not our Shaanxi border, it is under the feet of the emperor. You must let go of your temper."

The men next to him also said a few words in a lingering manner, which was strange. The accent of the highest-ranking Brother Zhou spoke with a lot of Jingchu flavor, and the remaining people were all authentic Shaanxi Mandarin.

Obviously, Guan Hai's identity was similar to Brother Zhou, so he spoke casually, and the rest of the people were quite respectful. A man sitting under Guan Hai bowed slightly and said with a smile:

"General Zhou, no matter what, you are an old person in the secret residence. The emperor may want to see you because he puts us near the capital, and there will definitely be rewards at that time."

As soon as this sentence was said, the atmosphere below suddenly became popular, and the person next to him said:

"Sir, what General Guan Shen said is also reasonable. I followed General Guan Shen to look at the surrounding camps these days. Maybe these people from the capital are too useless, so I transferred you over there!"

Where did General Guan Shen laugh and said:

"At that time, the deputy general of Brother Zhou may be removed, and we brothers will all enjoy our happiness together!"

After saying this, even Brother Zhou was always calm and could not help but smile on the corner of his mouth. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard footsteps outside running over. At this time, the quality of the border army that had been rolling on the battlefield for many years was revealed. Several officers put down their things and stood up from the table. Each of them was farther away from the lights, and then half-drawn the weapon out of the scabbard.

After all, he was in the camp and was prepared, but he didn't have to react too hard. The soldiers who came in were a personal soldier of Vice General Zhou. After he whispered outside the tent, several people in the military tent sat back to the table as if nothing had happened. After the personal soldier came in, he first smiled and treated everyone with a polite attitude, and then signaled whether he could talk to his master alone.

This behavior was obviously quite awkward. Vice General Zhou's face calmed down and said coldly:

"There are all my family here, so when can't we talk about it?"

The personal soldiers were full of embarrassment. The officers around them had not yet reacted. In the end, regardless of whether they would be punished by their master, they leaned into Deputy General Zhou's ear and whispered a few words. Deputy General Zhou originally wanted to scold him, but when he heard these whispers, his face could no longer remain calm and seemed a little nervous.

After hesitating for a moment, he spoke:

"It's so that all brothers can learn that there is an internal official outside who said he wants to enter the tent, and there is something very important."

It was almost the second day of the year, and the nine gates of the capital were closed. The internal officials came out there to ask for their visit, not to mention that the internal officials were trusted ministers of the emperor. No matter what, the matters involving the internal officials were often related to the affairs of the emperor. If you are not careful, it would be a crime of beheading and extermination of the clan.

It is no wonder that the personal soldiers made such a difficult expression and wanted to talk privately, but Vice General Zhou asked everyone in the military tent to know that it was actually the same truth. Personal soldiers were afraid that things would be leaked, and Vice General Zhou was worried that things would not be explained clearly. It would be better to let these people testify.

Sure enough, the entire military tent was silent. After a long time, the sea and the ginseng general spoke there:

"General Zhou, our Qin army is open and honest, and is not afraid of anything strange. He just let the inner officials in. If there is anything wrong, just kill it with one knife."

The generals and schoolmen next to them nodded repeatedly, and they could only do this. Deputy General Zhou nodded, and the personal soldier turned around and was about to run out, but was suddenly stopped by Guan Hai behind him. Guan Hai whispered:

"Call the general's servants and the bastards in my family, and come to the military tent to listen to orders and whisper in a low voice, don't alarm everyone!"

After receiving the order, the personal soldier hurriedly ran out, and several officers stood directly outside the military tent. Soon, hundreds of personal soldiers and servants had already gathered together. They were stationed in the surrounding military tents, and each of them held weapons in their hands to guard the surroundings.

The inner official outside was taken into the military tent. The inner official was not wearing the regular clothes of the eunuchs in the palace, but the dress of a merchant. If he had not shown the token with the soldiers outside, he would have been cut off his head just now.

"Li Xiaosan, oh, Eunuch Rui, it's you!?"

After seeing this eunuch, Deputy General Zhou blurted out his words, and the officers around him immediately had no doubts. Deputy General Zhou was a military general of the royal family when Emperor Jiajing was still in Xingxian's palace. He was the so-called old man in the secret residence. He must have known this eunuch.

But, so late, what will happen if the inner officer comes to the military camp...
