Chapter 8: Sun Butcher's First Blow
On September 29, Sun Chuanting was already sitting on the high platform of the school field, and next to him stood a row of soldiers borrowed from the Jinyi guard. In the school field under the stage, there were a few sparse teams, most of them were not wearing armor, some stood motionless with their heads hung down, and some chased and made noise and stirred up the dust.
Sun Chuanting's face was expressionless, in fact, after he proposed to investigate it yesterday, the generals did not object, and he knew that today's result was like this. The school yard barely had 26,000 people standing, and 260,000 people could not be accommodated at all. Although Lu Qin had vaguely told him that there was a serious vacancy in the Beijing camp, he did not expect that it would be so serious, and the situation he saw now could only be described as shocking.
At this time, the generals barely formed their formations and came to the front of the stage. Sun Chuanting glanced at it and said, "Governor Li, it seems that the generals have not arrived yet." ”
Li Xin ate and said: "Zhang Yougong, deputy general of the Fifth Army Battalion, Zhang Youye, guerrilla camp, and Zhang Youde, general of the Shenji Battalion, have asked for leave because of something at home, so they can't come. ”
"Oh, that's it, forget it." The generals breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time looked down on this Qincha, it turned out to be just like this, which made Lao Tzu worry for a night.
"Those who did not come were dismissed from the Beijing camp and notified to the military department to remove them and be listed as deserters." Sun Chuanting said unhurriedly.
The generals were taken aback, although the Ming Dynasty was noble and cheap, but as a member of the Ming generals, the hair was no worse than the civilian officials, especially in the Beijing camp, and they were not worried about the war, although the number of soldiers was less than one hundred, but far more than ten did not save one, these vacancies were all money, although the father-in-law above would take most of it, but the base was large, and it was not a star and a half to get it. And listed as a deserter, that is to be beheaded, this Qin cha is scary, but the person is a British duke, you dare to arrest people.
"Let's start the inspection now, the five military camps will come first, Governor Li, the total number of troops you directly lead should be 10,000, let's count."
Li Xin Khan came out again, knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, but remained silent. Sun Chuanting ignored him and asked Wang Tao to point out Li Xin's direct leader and let his own soldiers go to count. Soon the soldiers returned: "Governor Li's own soldiers have a total of three hundred and three people, of which two hundred and twenty-five are old and weak, and the rest are forty-five young and strong in armor. ”
"Very good, very good, Governor Li, get up, don't ask Ben Qincha to help you personally, the good soldiers you bring are indeed good soldiers." Li Xin stood up with shame on his face, lowered his head, and said nothing.
"Someone come, take off his clothes and behead him." Sun Chuanting said suddenly, and the generals were startled again. Li Xin originally thought that at most, he would arrest himself, and then the people behind him would always save him, and he didn't want this stunned Qingqin to kill himself directly, how could this be good? Several pro-soldiers rushed out, kicked him to his knees, knocked off his hat, and at the critical moment, he reacted sensitively, and immediately kowtowed and shouted: "Lord Qincha, the little wrong, please check it." ”
"You have 10,000 soldiers, and now there are only 303 people, Ben Qincha is very curious, where are you wronged?"
"When the little one was the governor, there were only so many people, and it was none of the villain's business."
"When you first became the governor, the number of subordinates does not match the file, why don't you report to the military department and receive your salary every year, why don't you receive it according to the actual amount?"
"The small, the small subordinates are all used by others in other places, and the military salary is not taken by the villain."
"Oh, the soldiers were used by others in other places, and the military salaries were taken away by others, these should be your business, not mine. Chopped. ”
The soldier raised his sword and spurted blood, then grabbed the hair from the ground and lifted the head. When the generals saw the bloody head of the governor, they already knew that Qin Cha was playing real this time, a general of the first grade, he actually beheaded without saying a word, this guy is too bold, even Qin Cha's Shang Fang Sword can only cut officials below the third grade. This guy looks sven, but he didn't expect to be a butcher, and he didn't blink his eyes when he killed. I don't have such a hard backstage as the British public, everyone saw the opportunity, knelt down together, and said that there was a grievance, and they wanted to sue Lord Qincha.
"In this case, Ben Chin almost counted the number of troops first, and then came to talk to the generals about the grievances."
Sun Chuanting pleaded guilty for killing Li Xin on his knees, although Zhu Youxiao felt that he was too bold, but he still didn't blame him, the troubled times used heavy codes, and the situation in Beijing was like this, if he didn't do this, he was afraid that it would be difficult to find out the real situation. But it seems that the movie is right, this guy is really a ruthless butcher, but I like it.
Sun Chuanting presented the clean-up situation, and Zhu Youxiao carefully looked through it, and found that the Beijing camp should have a total of 266,660 people, but there were actually 19,623 people, of which 2,000 were young and strong after excluding the old and weak. A had 25,000 guns, 4,300 of whom could be used, 20,500 knives and spears, 3,800 of which could be used, 3,800 of which were firearms, and 500 of which were usable.
A large number of Beijing soldiers entered the eunuchs, the princes' palaces, generals and other mansions to work as mercenaries in the grange, and their income was very low, only enough to make ends meet, and the military salary was also taken away by them, even if they were in the battalion, the salary was less than half of what they deserved.
The military drill has changed from the original daily drill to a half-moon or even a month-long drill, where most of the children of the official eunuchs receive their salaries in their names, while people come occasionally or even never come, let alone participate in the drill.
Sun Chuanting also specifically cited the information and other help provided by Lu Qin and Zhou Yuji in the process, and asked for credit for them. In addition, all the generals have been detained, but the eunuchs of the Inner Palace and the princes need to ask for a request to handle it, and the three distant relatives of the British government have not been detained.
I really don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it. Zhu Youxiao looked at these figures, and finally knew why the Ming army collapsed in a battle, and the Beijing camp was in chaos like this, so it was strange what combat effectiveness the Ming army would have.
"Investigate, continue to investigate for me, no matter who is involved, we must investigate to the end. I want Wei Zhongxian to cooperate with you, but I want to see how powerful these moths are. Wang Chengen, go and call Wei Zhongxian. ”
After a while, Wei Zhongxian hurried over, and Zhu Youxiao said: "You and Sun Qincha understand the situation, isn't the East Factory very powerful, this time I want to see how powerful the East Factory is." You are responsible for the internal officials in the palace, they were still obedient when I was still the grandson in the past, because of Zhang Qianfang's matter, I gave them a little face, it can only be a little yo, you let people go one by one in the palace to remind them first, and if there is no movement after three days, you will go directly to arrest people for me, as for the British Mansion, you will arrest people now, what do these three Zhang have, let them become Zhang No. ”
