Chapter 124: The Five Great Missions Go to the Disaster Area
Ling Xia took Xia Yuanxiao's approval slip, and went directly to the equipment warehouse of the Yamen of the Ministry of War to receive the equipment, and came to the armory with beauty, Ling Xia found the military general in charge of guarding and asked the military general to allocate weapons, and the military general saw that the approval note only wrote the equipment allocated to one division and regiment, so he refused to give more.
Seeing that the military general guarding the warehouse was so desperate, Ling Xia quietly tricked him into opening the door, and when the military general opened the door of the warehouse and was about to distribute the equipment, Ling Xia Xia and Yao Xinyao immediately asked Xia Ning'er and Yao Xinyao to look at the general, and he was not allowed to mix in the allocation of equipment.
Who has ever seen a warehouse officer who received equipment under house arrest? After being surrounded by Xia Ning'er's four people, the military general guarding the equipment warehouse wanted to fight back, but because of Xia Ning'er's status as a princess, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, and in desperation, the military general had to stay where he was.
Seeing this opportunity, Ling Xia ordered all the soldiers to carry supplies and equipment, chariots, tents, saddles, waist knives, armor, boots, bows and arrows, arrows, shields, heavily armored knight armor, light knight armor, war horse armor, giant siege crossbows, and city-breaking crossbow arrows......
The soldiers frantically carried the equipment in the armory, but instead of stopping them, Ling Xia pointed out the idea from the side: "Don't just take boots and belts, take more camp tents and military coats, these things can be used for disaster relief and field marching."
Situ Chenfeng, let your war horses out and pull the chariots, there are more than a thousand chariots here, take them all, two horses and one horse, and then everyone throws the equipment on the chariots, so that there are more loads, and then get a few more war horses to come over, and put those giant siege crossbows on a little. ”
When he spoke, Ling Xia was not idle, he looked east and west, and finally found a pair of division commander-level armor in the storage area where the armor was stored, with a cyan copper armor chest guard on his chest, a black copper battle skirt, a pair of cooked copper combat boots under his feet, and a set of copper armor arm guards on each arm.
After looting everything that could be used and scavenged, Ling Xia gave up, looking at the empty armory at the moment, Ling Xia looked regretful: "Alas------ it would be nice if the military salary was also placed here, it's a pity." ”
After muttering, Ling Xia asked Xia Ning'er and the others to return to the carriage, and then, he rode on his war horse, humming a little song and left, when Ling Xia led the team to leave, the military general guarding the equipment hangar suddenly sat down on the ground.
Looking at the almost emptied equipment storehouse, the military general wanted to cry without tears, and wanted to go to Xia Yuanxiao immediately to report the matter, but he couldn't enter the palace, so he could only wait until dawn to report to the yamen of the Ministry of War. Looking at Ling Xia's distant back, the military general who guarded the library sighed:
"The horse was too ruthless, and he actually ordered more than seven people to carry the equipment at the same time, this is an equipment depot of the "integrated corps", and the horse was emptied in just two quarters of an hour, if Lord Shangshu knew about this, I don't know how angry he would be? ”
Ling Xia didn't know what Xia Yuanxiao's reaction would be, because he had already left the forbidden city at this time, and after meeting with the four princes in front of Zhengyang Gate, Xia Yuanran handed Ling Xia six redemption tickets, each of which could be exchanged for one million stone of grain from Caoyun Yamen for disaster relief.
After receiving the redemption ticket, Ling Xia was stunned, then looked at Xia Yuanran and asked, "Just give this bit of food, what about the tent?" What about padded clothes? What about disaster relief funds? What about the medicine to defend against epidemics? Besides, one million stone of food in one province is not enough. ”
"It's not enough, there's no way, the household department has so many food reserves, cotton clothes and tents are still in preparation, as for the disaster relief funds, you can only rely on you to find a way to get it yourself after rushing to the disaster area, it's not a secret, the household department's funds were all deceived by Peng Tiangang's guy before.
At the beginning, Peng Tiangang defrauded 10 million people of military expenses from the household department in the name of counterinsurgency, and the household department had already exhausted the household funds. ”
Hearing that there was nothing but food for the relief of the people this time, Ling Xia and the five of them all fell into silence, and after a while, Ling Xia sighed and said: "Let's go, we can only take one step at a time, I hope that there is some stock in the local yamen at all levels, otherwise it will ......"
Sighing, Ling Xia didn't continue, leaving Zhengyangmen, the five Qincha parted ways, the second prince and the third prince walked together, the fourth prince and the sixth prince went forward separately, Ling Xia greeted the team and called several subordinates to him.
Opening the map of the Xia Dynasty's territory, Ling Xia pointed to an area in the top corner and said, "This is Ziyan Territory, which is more than 19,000 miles away from the imperial capital, and you need to pass through the boundaries of five territories in the middle.
This time is different from before, when we came to the imperial capital before, we needed to hide our whereabouts, so we could only take a detour, this time, we are going to disaster relief, so we must ask for speed, the faster the better.
Our team is too big, many of them are infantry, and the maximum speed of travel is about 100 miles, if we move forward at this speed, it will take at least half a year to reach Ziyanjiang.
In half a year, many things have changed, and after we rushed over, it is estimated that the victims of the disaster have all rioted, so I decided that we will advance in two groups, and the princess and I will lead Situ Chenfeng's light cavalry to take the lead.
With the speed of these war horses, plus the supplies of the post stations along the way, we can reach the disaster area in about 20 days.
After we left, Jiang Hailiu and Lao Cui were in charge of the work of the division, and the two of them could make arbitrary decisions on the spot, and everyone would strive to rush to Ziyanjiang within three months, and if there was an emergency, they could fly pigeons and pass the book to me. ”
Because many war horses were requisitioned to pull chariots and drag giant siege crossbows, Situ Chenfeng's light cavalry team of 10,000 people was only more than 5,000 people, and after Ling Xia finished instructing, everyone immediately got on their horses, flicked the reins, galloped horses' hooves, and Ling Xia led everyone to run towards the disaster area.
In the early morning of the next day, there was a sound of smashing things in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, and then, Xia Yuanxiao stood at the door of the mansion angrily and scolded the street: "Ling Xia, who suffered a thousand knives, you actually emptied one of my equipment hangars, and you are not afraid of dying, Ling Xia, you bastard, you return my equipment, you return my weapons......"
"My lord, don't scold, this night's kung fu, the horses are estimated to have run out of the imperial capital at this moment, rest, even if you shout and cut your throat, no one will answer." Seeing Xia Yuanxiao's angry appearance, the people in the Yamen Mansion of the Ministry of War hurriedly surrounded him to persuade him to dissipate his anger.
Ling Xia couldn't hear Xia Yuanxiao's scolding, and after a night of rapid marching, he had already left the boundary of the imperial capital and entered the jurisdiction of "Yongshou Frontier".
At this time, Ling Xia was squatting on the ground rubbing his head with a worried face, and behind him, he saw Xia Ning'er pinching his waist with one hand, and holding a branch in the other hand, his face was as cold as ice, and he taught Ling Xia a lesson with an angry expression.
