The first thousand three hundred and eighty-three chapters of Zhenwu Camp
Zhenwu Camp is located between Purple Mountain and the Old Forbidden City. The camp stretches for several miles. Its scale seems to be much larger than Linhuai Marquis' naval camp. However, it is also a camp located in one place and is not separated into separate camps.
Deer antlers were placed in the camp, fences were erected, and sentry towers were built every two hundred meters. Crossbows were mounted on the sentry towers, and spear-like crossbow arrows were ready to go. There were also two black forts built with fortifications inside the camp. The dark-skinned French artillery was placed on the fort, with its barrel pointing slantingly at the sky, giving it a full deterrent effect.
It looked heavily guarded.
But as he got closer, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but frown slightly. This was a decent product. The hardware was good, but the software was not. There was no one in front of the Franco machine gun. There were just a few cannons sitting naked on the turret, like sculptures. The sentries on the sentry tower who were supposed to be on guard failed to fulfill their duties. They used the sentry tower as a joyful place, with their backs to the outside of the military camp and their faces to the inside of the military camp, sitting on the ground, fisting and drinking...even though they were eating When he was drinking, he raised his head and glanced twice, also looking towards the direction of the military camp...
Zhu Ping'an and his party walked 30 meters in front of the military camp, but did not see any sentry tower issuing an early warning message.
The guards at the door also gathered together, not knowing what they were doing. It was not until Zhu Pingan and his entourage arrived at the gate of the camp that they discovered Zhu Pingan and his entourage. One guard stuffed something into his arms in a panic, and several guards came up. Qianpan asked, "Stop when people come, what are you doing?"
"I, Zhu Ping'an, the Chief Inspector of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, have an appointment with your Commander-in-Chief Wei Guogong. Please inform me." Zhu Ping'an stepped forward and cupped his hands, took out a name card from his sleeve and handed it to the person in front of him. guard.
The guard took Zhu Pingan's name card, turned around and asked the guard behind him, "Are any of you literate?!"
"Haha, I know my head and character, but I don't know it."
"Boss, aren't you talking nonsense? If we were literate, who would come here to be a top soldier!"
All the guards burst into laughter.
"Gungungun, you can't read and still have a smile." The leading guard turned around and scolded the laughing guards.
"Tou, are you literate?" the guard asked with a smile.
"You are talking nonsense, why would I ask you if I knew how to read?" The leading guard scolded them again.
"Boss, you don't need to be literate to pass the message in. We can just pass the name card inside."
A guard warned.
"Well, you idiot, it's rare for you to be smart for once. Here, here you go, go in and pass the message."
The leading guard thrust the name card into his arms, patted his shoulder, and pushed him into the camp.
They don't look like soldiers at all. They are clearly rogues. Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but twitch his lips.
After about tea time, a man dressed as a lieutenant and Li Er came out of the camp.
Zhu Ping'an was surprised when he saw Li Er. Why was Li Er in Zhenwu Camp? It seemed that Marquis Lai Huai was also in Zhenwu Camp today.
"Master Zhu, the general will welcome you into the camp under the command of the governor." The deputy general clasped his fist at Zhu Pingan from a distance.
"Fifth aunt, the Marquis and Duke Wei are waiting for you in the camp." Li Er ran over and bowed.
"Thank you, General, Steward Li." Zhu Ping'an smiled and returned the greeting.
"You are blind, why are you still standing there? Why don't you quickly open the camp door and invite Lord Zhu and his party to come in." The deputy general glared at the guards at the door, scolded them angrily, and ordered them to open the camp door.
The camp gate was opened wide, and Zhu Ping'an and his party, led by the deputy general and Li Er, entered the Zhenwu Camp.
"Bah...he's so arrogant, isn't he just a stupid dog...just wait, you'll be good-looking."
Zhu Ping'an's ears were much sharper than ordinary people's. After walking a certain distance, he vaguely heard the sound of the guard at the door spitting and cursing in a low voice.
The dog in their mouth refers to the deputy general, but what about the idiot?! You are not calling Wei Guogong a idiot, right?! Wei Guogong is so unbearable among the soldiers of Zhenwu Camp?! Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
After walking in the military camp for about a tea time, we arrived at Wei Guogong's commander's tent. The deputy general went in to report.
"Hahaha, my great nephew is here, and I'm not too far away to welcome you." Wei Guogong and the Marquis of Linhuai walked out of the handsome tent and greeted with a smile.
"Uncle, your words are serious." Zhu Ping'an stepped forward and cupped his hands, and then greeted the Marquis of Linhuai, "Uncle, you are also in Zhenwu Camp today."
"I happen to be here today on official business, so I can supervise this old guy for you to prevent him from breaking his promise and getting fat."
Marquis Linhuai said with a smile.
"You are really too lazy to worry about things. I, Mr. Xu, keep my word, so how can I break my word and get fat like you?"
Duke Guo of Wei gave the Marquis of Linhuai a rolling look and mocked the Marquis of Linhuai's figure. The two of them grew up wearing the same pair of trousers and were used to fighting.
"Fart, why do you break your promise and get fat? I am fat and broad-minded, unlike you who is narrow-minded and thin. I am like a bean sprout and will fall when the wind blows." Naturally, the Marquis of Linhuai was not to be outdone and mocked Wei Guogong for being so thin.
"Don't worry, my dear nephew, I've already ordered all the things to be counted and put them in the warehouse. Lieutenant General Xu, you can take your nephew's men to receive them. One hundred sets of tents, one hundred pairs of armors, two hundred fire guns,
There are also ten stones of gunpowder, no less. If there is less, I will only ask you. Also, if the chariots, horses and manpower brought by my nephew are not enough, you can transfer some chariots, horses and manpower from the camp."
After Wei Guogong and Linhuai Hou exchanged words for a while, he smiled and said to Zhu Pingan, and then ordered his lieutenants to take Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others to the warehouse to receive the military supplies promised to Zhu Pingan.
"Here." Vice General Xu accepted the order, and then said to Liu Mu and others, "Follow me."
"You all follow Vice General Xu's arrangements," Zhu Ping'an said to Liu Mu and others.
"I obey, young master." Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others took the officers from the Punishment Division and accompanied Lieutenant General Xu to receive the military supplies.
"My dear nephew, it's windy outside, please come in quickly and have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up." Wei Guogong invited.
"Uncle, please." Zhu Pingan bowed his hands in courtesy.
Duke Guo of Wei and the Marquis of Linhuai entered the tent first, and Zhu Pingan then entered the tent. The tent of Duke Wei was very luxurious and comfortable. The chair in the center was covered with a piece of tiger skin. There was a table in the middle of the tent. There was a table on the table.
The bubbling pot is the earliest prototype of hot pot. There are plates of shabu-shabu ingredients on the table. The most eye-catching thing is the plates of freshly cut mutton. The quality of the meat is all good.
Cucumber strips, lamb brains, lamb tendons and clean haggis; three small wine pots were still warming on the table, and the intoxicating aroma of wine wafted out from the spouts, setting off the whole table of shabu-shabu.
If you have an appetite, this wine must be good. Zhu Pingan, who doesn't like drinking, can't help but feel a little salivated when he smells the intoxicating aroma of the wine.
