The scale of the Nushan camp was actually at least double the size that should have been built for the number of garrison troops at that time.
Originally, there were more than 40,000 elite troops stationed here in the Nushan camp. After they were transferred away, the camp has been empty.
At this time, if His Majesty had not started preparing for the arrival of the Cowardly Army in Jingzhou several years ago, then there is no way to explain the appropriateness of the scale.
No more, no less, just enough for the Cowardly Army's 100,000 troops to be stationed.
If others still have doubts about this matter and are not sure, then of course Yin Chongti, as the Minister of War, knows best.
Because this Nushan camp was built by him under the instruction of His Majesty.
At that time, he was still the Minister of the Ministry of War. The establishment of the Nushan Camp was one of his political achievements and one of the reasons why he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War.
Others may think that everything is logical and a large part of it is coincidence, but Yin Zhongti clearly understands that everything His Majesty has done over the years is to ensure a peaceful transition when the throne changes.
There is no coincidence, it is all planned for a rainy day.
"General."
Yin Chongti accompanied Lin Ye on a tour of the Nushan camp. When he got tired, he had to ask Lin Ye to wait for him for a while.
After all, he is not a great practitioner, he is just an ordinary person.
"General, please understand me. I really can't walk anymore."
Yin Chongti sat down holding on to the low wall and beat his legs with his hands.
Lin Ye signaled Pang Panghai to come over: "Bring some of the Peiyuan Pills I prepared and give them to Lord Yin."
Pang Panghai responded immediately and soon brought a small gourd over.
Lin Ye said: "Although it is not a high-quality thing, it still has some effects on strengthening the body after eating it."
Yin Chongti's eyes lit up.
Just now, Lin Ye refuted his reputation and refused to take in the more than a thousand Jade Army soldiers. The gift of medicine now is to ease the relationship.
"Thank you, General."
Yin Chongti took the small gourd and seemed a little impatient. He opened it and stuffed one into his mouth.
Lin Ye said: "Just take one pill every half month."
Yin Chongti nodded: "Write it down."
He asked Lin Ye: "General, are you satisfied with the Nushan Camp?"
Lin Ye said: "I just looked at the reserves of grain and grass supplies. I really want to thank Lord Shangshu for preparing such a generous amount for the Qiongmang Army. I also want to thank you on behalf of the Qiongmang Army's 100,000 soldiers."
Yin Chongti said: "General, if you want to thank me, it's better to thank Your Majesty. After all, I'm just a worker, and Your Majesty is the one who makes the decision."
He pointed to the distance: "Over there is a horse farm specially prepared for the Qi Barracks. Your Majesty said that it should be built larger."
He looked at Lin Ye: "How many cavalry does the general have in hand now? I can make more preparations after I go back."
Lin Ye said: "Not much."
Yin Zhongti said: "It's not much, it has to be a certain number. General, don't hide anything from me."
Lin Ye said: "It's true that there aren't many, and it's less than average for everyone..."
Yin Chongti: "That's quite a lot. Who has a team of 100,000 horses? Most of them are cavalry..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Ye continued: "Two."
Yin Chongti opened his mouth, and after a moment he swallowed and spit. It was a spit of shock and envy.
"The average is less than two horses per person."
Yin Chongti asked: "General, how did you get so many war horses?"
Lin Ye said: "It's all because of my thick face and dark heart."
Yin Chongti nodded: "I believe it."
Lin Ye said: "Your Majesty said before that the Cowardly Army is not under the control of the Ministry of War. In fact, another reason is because it is afraid of what other teams will think. After all, the military pay of the Cowardly Army is higher than that of other teams." Yin Zhongti
He sighed: "Your Majesty is really partial."
Lin Ye said: "This is why I came here because of my shamelessness. Your Majesty asked me how the Cowardly Army can be transferred to Geling. How can we ensure that the team will not be bribed and wooed by others? I said... Your Majesty gave me a lot."
"
Yin Chongti sighed again.
He asked: "Then, the military salary of the Cowardly Army is higher than that of other troops. How much higher is it?"
Lin Ye said: "10%."
Yin Chongti smiled and said: "That's not too much."
Lin Ye smiled and didn't explain much. After all, if he really told Yin Zhongti that it was twice as much as 10% more, Yin Zhongti would feel even more uncomfortable to accept it.
When the rumor got out, the officers and soldiers of other armies also found it difficult to accept it.
The military pay received from the treasury is indeed only 10% more than that of other armies, but His Majesty is prepared to ask Yunzhou to pay the cowardly army as usual.
This is a series of plans in itself, and His Majesty has already formulated them.
Find any reason, a high-sounding and unquestionable reason, to remove Ning Weimo from his position as prime minister.
Then after waiting for a while, Ning Weimo was transferred to Yunzhou to work for a short period of one year.
A year later, the emperor would transfer Shi Jintang from Guzhu back to Yunzhou. Then the emperor would abdicate, and after Mr. Xin ascended the throne, he would transfer Ning Weimo from Yunzhou back to Geling to serve as prime minister.
However, His Majesty was so angry that he was injured unconsciously, vomited blood, and his body suddenly became worse than before.
Therefore, it is estimated that this plan will not be implemented. The seat in Yunzhou is vacant. Maybe it won't be long before a new decree is conveyed.
"By the way, I have something to say to the general."
Yin Chongti beat his legs and said: "This matter will not be clear until some time later, but there is no need to hide it from the general."
He glanced at Lin Ye.
"His Majesty has transferred Shi Jintang to Zhuzhou as governor, and will soon transfer Ning Haitang to Yunzhou."
Lin Ye's heart moved.
I see......
Tiao Ning Haitang went to Yunzhou to pick up Lin Ye's stall, which was a helping hand for Lin Ye.
It can be seen that the emperor may have some knowledge of the relationship between Ning Haitang and Lin Ye.
Of course, this is just Lin Ye's guess after hearing this sentence. Whether it is because the emperor knows this, maybe only the emperor himself knows.
"One more thing."
Yin Chongti said: "Your Majesty has already sent someone to inform the new headmaster that starting from this year, Shangyang Palace will no longer need to send supervisory troops to each army."
To weaken Shangyang Palace, it is inevitable to remove the privilege of Shangyang Palace.
But after Yin Chongti said this, he said in a somewhat complicated tone: "The Cowardly Army was not included in the list that His Majesty asked the Ministry of War to draw up."
This statement seems to have some profound meaning.
Shangyang Palace no longer sends supervisory troops to all armies, except for the cowardly army?
What was the purpose of Yin Zhongti telling him this at this time?
Does Your Majesty think that it would be better for Mr. Xin to personally arrange for someone to watch over Lin Ye's cowardly army?
Yin Zhongti saw that Lin Ye seemed to be thinking about something, so he smiled and said: "These are just normal arrangements, and the general doesn't need to worry about it."
Lin Ye hummed: "Your Majesty has told you, why should I, as a minister, worry too much?"
Yin Chongti actually wanted to tell Lin Ye directly that just before they left Geling City, Mr. Xin went into the palace to see His Majesty and talked with His Majesty for a full hour.
Knowing clearly that His Majesty was not happy with his promotion of Chen Weiwei, Mr. Xin actually made a request for Chen Weiwei to join the Cowardly Army as a supervisor.
Your Majesty has not yet agreed to this matter, but if Mr. Xin insists on doing so, Your Majesty will most likely not refuse.
After all, now is the time for Mr. Xin to put down his cell phone and do something on his own, and His Majesty will not restrain Mr. Xin as he did in the past.
Yin Chongti happened to be in the imperial study room when Mr. Xin entered the palace, so he was the first outsider to learn about it.
At this time, he wanted to remind Lin Ye to be more careful, but he also knew that his weight was not that heavy, so some words were just a few words.
Yin Zhongyi can't understand now why Mr. Xin suddenly trusts a person of unknown origin so much and even uses him in a important way.
Not only that, he also heard that day that Mr. Xin intended to change the personnel composition of Shangyang Palace.
The status of Shang Qingxu and Lu Junji was raised not only as priests of the Dali Cult, but also as elders. This was the result of the discussion between the old headmaster and His Majesty.
What Mr. Xin means is that the two elders have worked hard for so many years, so it is better to go to a more leisurely place.
Let the two elders preside over the sermons and explanations in Fengyu Temple.
As for other matters, leave them to Nie Wuzhi and Chen Weiwei.
If Chen Weiwei gets His Majesty's permission to join the Cowardly Army as a supervisor, then this will create an unprecedented situation.
In the more than 200 years since the founding of Dayu, the first priest of the Great Rites Sect entered the army as a supervisor.
But in this way, almost everything in Shangyang Palace would fall on Nie Wuzhi alone, and it would be difficult to handle many things well.
Therefore, Mr. Xin proposed to invite an old man who had been semi-retired to come out and promote him to the priest of the Dali Cult.
This person is Ai Youyou, the former priest of Tianshui Cliff in Yunzhou.
After Ai Youyou was transferred back to Geling Fengyu Temple, she was promoted to a priest of ethics. However, because she was old, she no longer had the intention to take care of the affairs of Shangyang Palace, so she has been living in seclusion.
This time Mr. Xin invited Ai Youyou out, and his intentions were very clear.
That is why Mr. Xin wants to use the people from Tianshui Ya to fight against the old people in Fengyu Temple in Shangyang Palace.
Shang Qinghui and Lu Junji were sidelined, and these two great Lijiao disciples, who originally had great power, were assigned to teach disciples and were only responsible for teaching disciples. Their authority was greatly weakened.
Ai Youyou and Nie Wuzhi, who were born in Tianshui Cliff, immediately became transcendent.
Thinking about it again, in fact, even Chen Weiwei was born in Tianshui Cliff.
In this way, Mr. Xin formed a power center in Fengyu Temple with people from Tianshuiya as his team.
Of course, this is not all bad. After all, Mr. Xin really needs to reuse his own people.
But as a result, there are some people who are unconvinced by Fengyuguan, and this dissatisfaction may turn into resentment.
Once the resentment is squeezed to a certain level, once it breaks out, Fengyu Temple will immediately become unstable.
Even something that an outsider like Yin Chongti could understand, Mr. Xin seemed to have never thought about it at all.
The purpose of him mentioning this matter to Lin Ye was just to make Lin Ye be more cautious. It would be best to tell His Majesty to prevent Chen Weiwei from joining the cowardly army.
Since Mr. Xin was promoted to the position of head coach, Mr. Xin's approach has become somewhat radical.
The results of this radical approach may be good or bad. In the end, no one can tell whether it is more good or more bad.
And His Majesty's current attitude towards Mr. Xin is to let him go most of the time.
After all, it won't be long before His Majesty will really give up the throne.
Lin Ye stretched out his hand to help Yin Zhongti get up: "Don't rest anymore. Go back to Geling to rest after finishing reading earlier."
Yin Chongti smiled and said: "I can go back to Geling to rest. The general may not be able to rest for a while."
Lin Ye smiled and said with some deep meaning: "Your Majesty asked me to come to Jingzhou, not just to rest."
Yin Chongti looked at Lin Ye and also laughed.
He said with an envious look: "It's good to be young. No matter how much you do, you don't feel tired. It's not like me. Now I feel hard when I move."
He looked at Lin Ye and said something with some meaning: "His Majesty said that those who are capable work hard. The general is not only capable, he is also young. He can do big and small things, good and bad. It seems that the general has to shoulder a lot of responsibility."
