Chapter 1387 Zhenwu Camp Insights
Zhenwu Camp is located between Purple Mountain and the Old Forbidden City. The camp stretches for several miles. The scale seems to be much larger than Linhuai Marquis’ navy camp, but it is also a set-up. The camp is not divided into separate camps.
Antlers are placed in the camp, fences are erected, and sentry towers are built every two hundred meters. Crossbows are mounted on the sentry towers, and spear-like crossbow arrows are ready to go; there are also civil constructions in the camp to return the base. Two forts were built, and the dark-skinned Franco machine guns were placed on the forts. The barrels of the bowl-mouthed guns pointed obliquely at the sky, which was full of deterrence.
Looks heavily guarded.
But as he got closer, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but frown slightly. This is a fake, the hardware is good, but the software is not. There was no one in front of the Fo Lang machine gun, except for a few cannons sitting naked on the turret, like sculptures. The sentries on the sentry tower who were supposed to be on guard did not fulfill their duties. They used the sentry tower as a place of fun. With their backs to the outside of the military camp and their faces to the inside of the military camp, they sat on the ground and made fists and drank. Even if they looked up during the break of drinking. Eyes, also looking in 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 of the guards was a little panicked and stuffed something into his arms. Inside, several guards came forward and asked, "Stop here, what are you doing?"
"I, Zhu Ping'an, the minister of punishment and inspection in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, have an appointment with Wei Guogong, your commander-in-chief. Please let me know." Zhu Ping'an stepped forward and bowed. He handed over his hand, took out a name card from his sleeve, and handed it to the guard at the front.
The guard took Zhu Ping'an's name card, turned around and asked the guard behind him, "Are you literate?!"
"Haha, head, the word recognizes me, but I don't recognize it. .”
"Boss, aren't you talking nonsense? If we were literate, who would come here to be the leader!"
A group of guards burst into laughter.
"Gungungun, you can't read but you still have a smile." The leading guard turned around and scolded the laughing guard.
"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. Let's just pass the name card inside."
A guard reminded.
"Well, you idiot, you are so smart for once. Here, here you go, go in and pass it around."
The leading guard put the name card into his arms As soon as he stuffed it, he patted his shoulder and pushed him into the camp.
They don't look like soldiers. They are all rogues. Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but twitch his lips.
After about tea time, a man dressed as a deputy general 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 Ping'an 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 Pingan returned the gift with a smile.
"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 opened wide, and Zhu Ping'an and his party entered the Zhenwu Camp under the leadership of the deputy general and Li Er.
"Why are you so arrogant? Isn't it just a stupid dog? Just wait, you can look good."
Zhu Ping'an's ears are much pointier than ordinary people. After walking for a while, , 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're not calling Mr. Wei a fool, are you? ! Is Wei Guogong so miserable 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 nephew is here, and I am sorry to welcome him from afar." Wei Guogong and the Marquis of Linhuai walked out of the handsome tent and said 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 have a baby today. I'm here on official business, and I'll supervise this old guy for you, so that he won't break his promise and get fat."
Linhuai Marquis said with a smile.
"You really eat carrots and don't worry about it. I, Mr. Xu, always keep my promise, how can I break my promise and gain weight like you."
Wei Guogong gave Linhuai Marquis a white look and mocked Linhuai Marquis's figure. The two of them He grew up wearing a pair of pants and was used to playing around.
"Fart, why do you break your promise and gain weight? I have a big heart and a fat body, unlike you who have a narrow heart and a thin body. I am like a bean sprout and will fall when the wind blows." Naturally, the Marquis of Linhuai was not to be outdone and sarcastically The Duke of Wei is very 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, take your nephew's men to receive them. One hundred sets of tents and one hundred pairs of armor. Two hundred fire blunderbuss and ten stones of gunpowder cannot be missing at all. If there is any missing, I will only ask you. Yes, if the chariots and horses brought by the wise nephew are not enough, you can transfer some chariots and horses from the camp."
After arguing with each other for a while, Wei Guogong said to Zhu Ping'an with a smile, Then he ordered his deputy generals to take Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others to the warehouse to receive the military supplies promised to Zhu Pingan.
"Here." Deputy General Xu accepted the order, and then said to Liu Mu and others, "Follow me."
"You all follow Deputy General Xu's arrangements." Zhu Pingan said to Liu Mu and others.
"I obey, young master." Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others took the servants from the Punishment Division and accompanied Vice General Xu to receive 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.
Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis first entered the tent, and Zhu Pingan then entered the handsome tent. Wei Guogong's handsome tent was decorated very luxuriously and comfortably. The chair in the center was covered with a piece of tiger skin. There was a table in the middle of the handsome tent. There was a table on the table. The bubbling pot can be regarded as the earliest prototype of hot pot. There are a dazzling array of shabu-shabu ingredients on the table. The most eye-catching thing is a Platefuls of freshly cut mutton, all of which were of good quality, including cucumber strips, lamb brains, mutton tendons, and cleanly cleaned haggis; there were three small wine pots warming on the table, and the intoxicating aroma of wine came from The spout floated out, making the whole table of shabu-shabu look particularly appetizing. This wine must be good. For a person like Zhu Pingan who doesn't like drinking, he couldn't help but feel a little salivated when he smelled the intoxicating aroma of the wine. (End of this chapter)
