The military camp in Bianliang is not much different from the neighborhood in Bianliang. After nearly a hundred years of evolution, the original walls of the military camp have long been transformed into shops one after another.
Everyone knows that this is illegal, and no one has paid any attention to it...it involves too many areas.
The military camps that had been established at the beginning of the dynasty were replaced from generation to generation. Those who profited from these shops were not only the current generals, but could even be traced back to those nobles and even the civil servant families at the beginning of the dynasty.
This is also Wen Yanbo's basis for uniting civil servants.
The generals who are currently serving in the Fourth Army do not get many benefits from the barracks, but they are not small either.
With the reduction of soldiers, the room for empty pay is getting narrower and narrower. If this profit is lost, life will be really difficult.
No one thought that the real trigger was not the memorials calling for the dismantling of the military camp, nor Lin Xiang's group of forbidden troops, nor the engineers Zhao Xi asked to come back to visit relatives.
It was Wen Yanbo who presided over the dismantling of the military camp. He was currently riding a tiger and it was difficult to get off. If it were revealed, he had to implement it like this, as if he was really not setting a trap for the prince.
The key point is that His Highness the Crown Prince made no move at all.
Part of the process has already been carried out. Due to the digestion of the transfer of civilians over the years, each camp of the Forbidden Army does not have enough strength. Therefore, there has been a merger of different teams.
Wen Yanbo did not have a complete plan for dismantling and merging, and he did it very casually. He simply merged different commands, armies, battalions, and compartments together at will.
For so many years, how could the imperial troops stationed in Bianliang, whether they were Pengri, Tianwu, Dragon Guard or Tiger Guard, have no grudges?
Wen Yanbo didn't think about these entanglements at all. If it was a noble family that founded the dynasty, he would take proper care of it. As for these generals below the fifth and sixth grades, Wen Yanbo really didn't care~~ A group of warriors and reckless men cannot make any big waves.
Come.
The estrangement between the Dragon Guard and the Tiger Guard can be traced back to the founding of the Dynasty. They have been fighting openly and secretly for nearly a hundred years, but they have been controlled within a certain range and no major incidents have occurred.
The 15th Battalion of the Dragon Guard is adjacent to the 7th Battalion of the Tiger Guard. The relationship between the two battalions is almost incompatible...
Now, it has been abolished and merged, and the nearby 15th Battalion of Dragon Guard has been directly merged into the 7th Battalion of Tiger Guard.
"Why is it that you Tiger Guards are the ones doing all the talking?"
In the central military tent of the Huwei camp, two distinct generals stared at each other like cockfighting cocks.
The speaker was the commander of the 15th Longwei Battalion.
Regarding the merger, they couldn't handle the imperial court, and they didn't even think about it.
I thought that the merger was nothing more than the original exclusive benefits that needed to be shared. Unexpectedly, the Huwei camp was not prepared to leave any for them.
All the people in charge of the entire newly formed team are from their Tiger Guard. This person in charge is not about the position, but about the profits of the shop. This means that these people in the Long Guard, even if he is the battalion commander, the same
Depending on the other party’s face, there may not necessarily be any benefits.
"Because this is our Tiger Guard's territory! What? If we take you in, will we have to let you ride on our head?"
"I want to stay, but I don't want to stay...~"
"Don't be ignorant! When you come to our Tiger Guard, you have to follow our Tiger Guard's rules. It's good to have a seat, and you have to be picky!"
The commander of the Dragon Guard just said something, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't even care about the superiority and inferiority of the superiors and inferiors, and came back with all kinds of talk.
"The court arrangement is half and half."
This is indeed a fact. Wen Yanbo is not so brainless as to let Huwei serve as all the chief officers.
The ten generals, military leaders, and commanders are almost always divided in half. As for the battalion commanders, due to official rank, they need to be uniformly appointed by the court according to the situation after the entire reorganization is completed.
"You can ask the court for half!"
The commander of the Long Guard was not a reckless person, and he knew that his demands could not be put on the table, so he endured the aggrievement and tried to reason with the Tiger Guard people.
This kind of thing is originally a private matter in the military camp, and harmony makes money. No one wants to make a fuss about this matter, otherwise no one will have anything to eat in the end, and even more people will be involved.
However, the people from the Tiger Guard were not prepared to reason at all...
"I won't tell you any more nonsense. Just ask: What percentage of the profit from the shop can we share?"
It didn't matter if he didn't talk about it. Everyone knew the benefits of the shop. Even if they didn't understand it in too much detail, it generally made sense, so he accepted it.
"Why should we give our Huwei shop to you? There isn't even a big man!"
This is treating all the brothers as soldiers... Even in the name of being a commander in the capital, there is no other benefit except salary.
The commander of Long Wei clenched his fists and held back with all his strength, trying not to act impulsively.
"Ouch! You seem unconvinced, don't you? Do you want to take action? Do you dare to do so?"
"You look like a bear, how much do you think you get? Just pee and show yourself..."
"Hahaha……"
"ah……"
After all, I couldn't hold it in any longer. I really couldn't bear it anymore.
It's okay to be bullied a little, and it's okay to gain something. Even if the gain is less, he accepts it.
He really couldn't stand this situation of being bullied without any benefit at all!
…
"Your Highness, a large-scale fight broke out between the 15th Battalion of the Dragon Guard and the 7th Battalion of the Tiger Guard..."
"What?"
After listening to Li Xian's report, Zhao Xi was shocked. Fighting with weapons? Fighting with weapons in the military camp. This is not a trivial matter.
"Back to Your Highness, the 15th Battalion of the Dragon Guard was merged into the 7th Battalion of the Tiger Guard due to disbandment. The battalion commander of the Dragon Guard and the Tiger Guard discussed the profit from the barracks, but the two sides could not reach an agreement."
"It started out as a fight between the generals, and later developed into a fight between all the soldiers in the two battalions!"
"What are the casualties? How will the political hall deal with it? Has it affected the people?"
Zhao Xi calmed down. Zhao Xi still understood the remaining imperial troops in Bianliang. He also knew who they were.
Perhaps this is an opportunity, but it must be controlled within a certain range.
"Back to Your Highness, the fighting is in the camp area, and there are no casualties for the time being. The Kaifeng Mansion has arrived at the scene, but the patrol officers and government officials are unable to intervene."
I think someone from the Political Affairs Hall should be on the scene by now. The next step...
"Inform the New Army in charge of the scene that any punishment must be based on the Song Dynasty Xingtong...even the orders of the Zhengshitang will not work!"
Zhao Xi is sure that the way the political affairs hall handles the situation is to kill chickens to scare monkeys. Killing soldiers is really the same as killing chickens for civil servants. They don't care about the lives of those soldiers.
As for the soldiers of the Bianliang Forbidden Army, Zhao Xi doesn't care much about killing a few. He needs this incident to ferment. If the killing of chickens really scares the monkeys, the matter will subside soon and will not affect the later dismantling...
…The Imperial Guards who stayed in Bianliang really didn’t have any peeing skills!
Wen Yanbo looked at the chaos in the camp...a group of reckless men who didn't know how to live or die!
I didn't even think about asking why, nor did I think about whether these people should be killed.
This is Bianliang, not a local military state. Such large-scale armed fighting has never happened since the beginning of the dynasty, and must be suppressed with force.
