Chapter 322: The Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army (Part II)
- The 240,000 forbidden troops of Bianjing City were stationed in 400 military camps outside the city as a unit of command. There are barracks on almost every street.
Different from the military camp in the impression of later generations, the military families of the Great Song Dynasty also lived in the camp. Because being a soldier in this dynasty is a lifelong thing, as long as you become a soldier, you will want to do anything else in this life, so everyone has a family, and the whole family lives in the barracks.
It is the military camp of this dynasty, which is simply a family home, chickens and dogs jump, children pee, and there is no way to count the number of people in it.
Therefore, when it is necessary to point the colonel, they are all pulled to the school field to which the army belongs.
At this moment, Zhao Zongji, accompanied by Chen Ke and Sima Guang, came to the outside of the Xuanwu Shang Military Academy located near the Guangbei Bridge. The high walls inside the school yard and the outside have always been two worlds.
"Have you been in?" Zhao Zongji asked Chen Ke beside him.
"Nope." Chen Ke, who was dressed in an inconspicuous civilian robe, said with a smile: "I have only been to the big camp where the army marches and fights. β
"I haven't been there either." Zhao Zongji turned his head and asked Sima Guangdao, who was wearing a green official uniform, "What about Mr. Sima?" β
"Xia Guan hasn't been there either." Sima Guang is thin and not tall, with good facial features and deep eyes, which makes people feel particularly reliable at a glance.
"There are so many military camps and school grounds in this Bianjing City, and the three of us have not set foot in it." Zhao Zongji was a little speechless and said: "It can be seen that the army and the outside are two worlds. β
Sima Guang only nodded, and did not respond, making Zhao Zongji a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, at this time, when I arrived at the gate of the school field, I heard a cannon shot, the camp gate was wide open, and two columns of sergeants wearing new uniforms and red tasseled fanyang hats on their heads. Come out with neat steps. Lined up on both sides of the camp gate.
More than a dozen generals in armor and helmets greeted them from the camp with smiles on their faces.
Zhao Zongji and others also dismounted and saluted a group of senior officers. Although the Great Song Dynasty was respectful and humble. But on the occasion of the score, the leading military attache was Wang Kai, the deputy commander of the Infantry Division of the Guards, and the grandson of Wang Quanbin, the general of Pingshu in the early Song Dynasty. A seventy-year-old veteran general. Seeing him outside the barracks, Zhao Zongji had to shout 'Grandpa Wang'.
After the two sides met, Wang Kai affectionately pulled Zhao Zongji's arm and started a family affair with him.
While talking, the two walked inside, and a group of attachΓ©s naturally followed closely and entered the school yard.
Chen Ke took this opportunity to take a look, and saw that it was very clean. The east, west, north and south are all boxy high walls and big villages, and the corners of the village are set up with battlements. In order to look. Every short distance on the wall, a lantern hangs from it. Under the lamp, a line of soldiers stood with swords and guns, like nails. Thousands of soldiers. Just practice the military town on the big empty drill ground. I saw the soldiers with flags fluttering, war drums frequent, and bright hangers, constantly changing their formations. It looks like a butterfly wearing flowers, and it is pleasing to the eye.
Wang Kai invited Zhao Zongji to rest in the conference hall on the north side of the school field, and as soon as he entered, he saw a splendidly flowered table, and the table was full of fresh fruits and delicate snacks. Each chair is also covered with a chair cover, revealing a strong formalism.
After humbling, Zhao Zongji sat on the top and looked around at everyone: "Yesterday, most of them were in the yamen of the Bujun Division, and they heard the proclamation, right?" β
"Yes." The generals roared.
"Then let's gossip, this time I am ordered to check the personnel of each army," Zhao Zongji said: "The previous review in the Yamen found that the management of the forbidden army's military registration was full of malpractices, and the old number was removed without being checked, so that the number of soldiers was not registered. After a pause, he said: "Therefore, we can only use the roster of salaries and the stupid method of checking the heads." β
The generals sat upright, and Wang Kai explained embarrassedly: "The three yali are all Qiu Ba, but they are not as fine as the civil officials. β
"The official family has a word first, and the past is not to blame." Zhao Zongji nodded and said: "From now on, I will send a commissioner to take care of the files, of course, this has nothing to do with my dispatch on this trip, I just care about the position matching!" As he spoke, he looked at Sima Guang.
Sima Guang opened a thick roster and said in a deep voice: "The Xuanwu Shangjun is rated as ten battalions, with five hundred members in one battalion, a total of five thousand. At present, he has retired due to old age and illness, and has not yet been replenished, and there are actually 4,970 soldiers. β
"One hundred and thirty people are on leave." The Qin commander of the Xuanwu army added: "The leave is approved by the military department and is well documented. β
"Go back and send a copy of the list, and when you return to the team, you will order him to report to the Yamen of the Infantry Division." Wang Kai said loudly.
"There are ......" Commander Qin muttered: "The number of Si Ya is different from the actual soldiers, and there are only 4,520 soldiers in this army. β
"Alas, chaos, too much confusion." Wang Kai shook his head with a dull face and said, "The old face has been lost." Saying that, he said to Zhao Zongji: "This extra post, after verification, just cancel it, and you don't have to look at my face." β
"Thank you Bu Shuai for understanding the righteousness." Zhao Zongji had a smile on his face, and said to Sima Guang: "Let's check it according to four thousand three hundred and nine first." β
"Yes." Sima Guang nodded.
"Commander Qin, I will gather the soldiers on the school field," Zhao Zongji said: "My people will count. β
Commander Na Qin looked at Wang Kai, and after he nodded, he got up and promised: "Huh! After saying that, he withdrew from the council hall, and after a while, he heard a drum sound, and the originally noisy school field fell silent, and only the rustling footsteps like cannibalizing mulberry leaves were heard.
"My Great Song Forbidden Army is well-trained." Listening to the movement outside, Zhao Zongji said.
"Hehe......" Wang Kai's old face turned red and said: "Alas, even if you practice flowers on the school field, they are all fakes." The knife does not drink blood. As soon as he went to the battlefield, he made a fool of himself. β
"Bu Shuai is too modest." Zhao Zongji said lightly: "The Liao people haven't fought for decades, and everyone has to adapt." β
"Yes," Wang Kai said with a smile: "The old man has been on the battlefield, but it has been more than ten years since he came down from the Northwest Battlefield." If you suddenly go into battle, you will have to adapt for a while. β
Saying this, Commander Qin came in to report that the team had been assembled.
Zhao Zongji said to Sima Guang: "I'm tired." Sima Guang took the order and left, and Chen Ke also followed.
There was silence on the school ground, and thousands of officers and soldiers were pressed by the black, and they lined up neatly like nails.
Behind Sima Guang and Chen Ke were the officials of the Eastern and Western Prefectures and the Third Division, the Imperial City Division and the guards of the Beihai County Palace, adding up to a total of about 200 people.
Sima Guang looked at Chen Ke, and Chen Ke smiled: "I came to see the excitement, and I didn't get involved in anything." β
"Oh." Sima Guang nodded and glanced at him. Meaning, let's flash it aside......
Sima Guang's gaze swept over a cadre of officials and soldiers on his side, and said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the little prince has entrusted this important task to the subordinates, and he can only live up to his mission. If there is anything offended, please do more than Haihan. β
He himself has a high rank and a majestic appearance, and everyone is a little afraid of him, but now listening to him speak very politely, he actually felt a little flattered, so he agreed in unison.
"Count the number of people line by line." Sima Guang gave an order, the soldiers pulled up the long ropes, and the soldiers of the Xuanwu army were opened between the lines, and the officials counted them line by line. There are initial inspections and re-inspections, and there are special records that look very professional.
Two cups of tea, the results were summed up, and they were reported to Sima Guang: "A total of 4,390 people!" β
"One is not less." The official in charge of the inventory smiled.
"Roll call." Sima Guang said in a deep voice: "All of them are all points!" "There are five capitals under one command, and one hundred people in each city.
"Not much, not too much." Commander Qin was dissatisfied: "Which name do you want to name?" β
Sima Guang glanced at him coldly, and Commander Qin shuddered, as if all the secrets in his heart had been seen through.
"Roll call." Sima Guang repeated again: "Leave Yidu after ordering, don't go back to the school again!" β
"Alas, eventful......" Commander Qin only complained, but did not stop him.
So the roll call began, and the official held the roster, called the first capital to step forward immediately, and began to roll call: "The one who shouted is standing on the left-hand side, Liu Liu!" β
"Whoa." One of the soldiers answered and walked to the left to stand.
"Ma San."
"Whoa."
"Zhou Han."
"Whoa."
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
On the school ground, at the same time, the five capitals were named, and the roll call responses came and went, but Chen Ke was not interested, and said to Sima Guang, who had a serious face beside him: "Is this method useful?" β
"Do you have a better idea?" Sima Guang looked at him, his gaze calm and distant.
"Nope." Chen Ke sneered.
Sima Guang turned back and stopped looking at him.
After Chen Kezhong won the championship, even the ministers did not snub him like this, but who made him have any intentions against Sima Guang, so he just felt ridiculed and had no anger.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the first count was completed, the soldiers reported that there were eight people, and there was no match for the number.
"Well, let me explain...... The names on the roster haven't changed in decades, but the soldiers have changed a few times. Commander Qin wiped his sweat and secretly scolded those fools, and he couldn't even remember his name: "It's too troublesome to re-register, and the Bujun Division and the Third Division have to be changed, so we have been lazy and haven't changed our names." After a pause, he said: "The money is all received and sent back, so some idiots don't even remember what the name of the person they top is." After speaking, he wiped his sweat and said, "It's so hot, it's really hot...... Let's go in and talk slowly. β
Sima Guang was already sweating his clothes, but he was unmoved and said, "Commander Qin's words are all recorded?" β
"Got it." Tiji said softly.
Sima Guang stretched out his hand to take the transcript, handed it to Commander Qin, and said, "Literate, right?" β
"Knowing the ......," Commander Qin was choked and turned purple.
"Let's see if there's any distortion." Sima Guang does his own thing.
"Nope." Commander Qin looked at it simply, and he didn't have a good airway.
"Let's draw a charge." Sima Guang said: "Everyone has to be responsible for what they have said. β
"You ......" Commander Qin pulled down his face.
