Under the fire of the Japanese invaders, the entire warehouse area of Ningbo Bosi Wharf has become a ruin, and everywhere you can see is a ruin blackened by smoke and fire.

Li Yuntian looked at the scene with an expressionless face, accompanied by Zheng Liang and other Nanjing officials, and Li Yi'an and other Zhejiang officials followed behind anxiously.

"Is the commander of Dinghaiwei here?" After picking up a few blackened pieces of broken porcelain on the ground and looking at them, Li Yuntian threw away the porcelain pieces, clapped his hands, turned his head and looked at the officials who followed him with a stern expression.

Ningbo Bosi is located in Dinghai County, Ningbo Prefecture, so the health station stationed in the Ningbo Bosi is called Dinghaiwei, which is responsible for protecting the safety of the Bosi City.

"Command Zhao Yang to see the prince." Soon, a middle-aged military attache with a stout figure and a big belly hurriedly walked out of the crowd and bowed to Li Yuntian, a lot of sweat was already oozing from his forehead due to nervousness.

"This king asks you, how many pirates attacked that day?" Li Yuntian glanced at Zhao Yang and asked quietly.

"Lord Yu, judging from the situation of the battle with our army, there are seven or eight thousand people in those widows." Zhao Yang replied loudly when he heard this.

"How many casualties did our army have, and how many enemies did they kill?" Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, and he continued to ask.

"Lord Yu, the officers and men of our army fought bravely, wounded 267 people, killed 973 people, captured 36 Japanese invaders, and annihilated 591 Japanese invaders." Zhao Yang had already made preparations, so he methodically reported several sets of numbers to Li Yuntian.

The officials present couldn't help but glance at each other, when Li Yuntian was in Nanjing, he had already received an official document from the Zhejiang Political Envoy about the attack on Ningbo City, so he was very clear about the ins and outs of the incident and the consequences, and it was not clear why Li Yuntian was interrogating Zhao Yang in public.

After listening to Zhao Yang's report, Li Yuntian's brows furrowed even deeper, and he looked at Zhao Yang expressionlessly, which made Zhao Yang even more nervous, the sweat on his forehead rolled down like beads with broken threads, his face was pale, and his body trembled slightly involuntarily, and the atmosphere at the scene became a little depressing.

"The number of casualties in our army is twice that of the Japanese invaders, how did you act as a commander?" Just when all the officials at the scene were nervous, Li Yuntian shouted coldly to Zhao Yang.

"Lord Wang, this gang of Japanese robbers is extremely vicious and suddenly attacked, and our army was unprepared, so they were caught off guard." Zhao Yang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down to Li Yuntian to plead guilty, "If you are guilty of despicability, please punish the prince." ”

"Lord Wang, the Japanese have always been fierce, and this time they are menacing, and they don't want to shirk their responsibility, but they can definitely do their best to fight with the Japanese Kou."

At this time, the commander of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division made Luo Yong open his mouth to relieve the siege for Zhao Yang, and said to Li Yuntian helplessly, who would have thought that those wouldn't have been so bold that they would sneak attack a heavily guarded place like Ningbo City.

Don't talk about Dinghaiwei, the coastal guards are not the opponents of the Japanese because of their lax training, otherwise the dozens of Japanese soldiers composed of samurai in the ninth year of Xuande would not have rampaged on the border between Zhejiang and Nanzhili, making the more than 200,000 troops of Nanzhili ready for battle, and the gate of Nanjing City was closed.

Therefore, in Rayong's view, Dinghaiwei was really unlucky, and encountered a large-scale sneak attack by the Japanese invaders, so that the freight yard of the city was burned to the ground.

"Do your best?" Seeing Luo Yong complaining to himself, Li Yuntian couldn't help but sneer, stared at him and said, "The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are used to protect their families and defend the country, how can a sentence of 'do their best' be the reason for defeat?" ”

"This king asks you, how is Dinghaiwei's usual practice?" As he spoke, Li Yuntian asked Zhao Yang, his eyes flashed coldly, and his voice asked coldly.

"Wang ...... The prince forgives his sins, and he deserves death for his despicable crimes! Zhao Yang's face couldn't help but change when he heard this, he knelt on the ground with his legs bent, and said to Li Yuntian with his head touching the ground.

According to the previous plan, Zhao Yang should have lied to Li Yuntian and told Li Yuntian that the soldiers of Dinghaiwei should practice every day according to the regulations, so as to give Li Yuntian a "satisfactory" answer, and at the same time give Haiwei to shirk responsibility, so that both sides are happy, anyway, this kind of deception and concealment is the norm in officialdom.

But when Zhao Yang touched Li Yuntian's fierce eyes, he was so frightened that he trembled all over, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, he didn't dare to deceive Li Yuntian, in case Li Yuntian went to Dinghaiwei to check whether the troops were drilling, it would be revealed to the world, so he asked Li Yuntian for guilt.

In the final analysis, Li Yuntian's reputation was too loud, and Zhao Yang's psychological defense line was easily penetrated by Li Yuntian, so he didn't dare to hide it in the slightest.

Luo Yong's face suddenly changed, he didn't expect Zhao Yang to be so useless, Li Yuntian just asked Zhao Yang a few words Zhao Yang couldn't hold on, which made Li Yuntian have to track down, wouldn't it be to make trouble for everyone.

The officials at the scene were also in a slight commotion, and they looked at each other in private, and it seemed that Dinghaiwei was going to be in trouble this time.

"Where is your sin?" Li Yuntian glanced at the officials around him, and then looked at Zhao Yang quietly.

"Dinghaiwei's daily training is insufficient, and his humble duties are really unforgivable." Zhao Yang hurriedly touched the ground with his head and reported in a loud voice, "Lord Wang, I have been forced to be helpless in this way, in recent years, the harvest of the military fields has been so poor that the soldiers have to find ways to make a living, so they can't practice normally. ”

"Poor harvest?" Li Yuntian sneered when he heard this, "As far as this website knows, the grain in the south has been harvesting since the eighth year of Xuande, where is the harvest not good?" ”

"This ......" Zhao Yang didn't expect Li Yuntian to know so much about grain production, his face suddenly changed again, and he was speechless for a while.

In fact, the so-called poor harvest is just a pretext for Zhao Yang, in fact, the military land of the military household to which Dinghaiwei belongs was encroached upon by the official of the guard and the local wealthy clans, and a large number of military households lost their cultivated land and could only rent land, which was no different from tenants, so they naturally could not get much rations, and had to find a way to fill their stomachs, so the drill was naturally abandoned.

Although the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division will go to Dinghaiwei every year to inspect, but this is just a boring process, every time Zhao Yang will temporarily organize a group of soldiers to pretend to practice on the school field, to show the people of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division who come to inspect, and entertain them with delicious food and drink.

Sometimes people from Zhejiang Dusi will go to the school to see a few times, and sometimes they don't go to the school because they are drunk, anyway, both sides know this kind of thing, and everyone has formed a tacit understanding.

It is worth mentioning that this situation is not only the Dinghaiwei, but also the Daming guards, which is the most important reason for the decline in the combat effectiveness of the troops of the Daming Guards.

The battle of Tumubao is the best proof, although there are various reasons for the defeat of the Ming army, but lack of training is the primary factor, otherwise hundreds of thousands of Weisuo troops will be chased and beaten by the Wara people, and finally the orthodox emperor was captured, losing the face of the Ming Dynasty.

"The rule of lowly office is not strict, please ask the prince to surrender." Seeing that Zhao Yang was speechless, Luo Yong smiled bitterly in his heart, knelt in front of Li Yuntian and said in a deep voice.

On the surface, it seems that Zhao Yang is talking about the problem of Dinghaiwei, but when he says this without concealment, he has already pulled Zhejiang Dusi into it.

Zhejiang Dusi is responsible for supervising Dinghaiwei, and the daily drills of Dinghaiwei every year are normal in the records of Zhejiang Dusi, and now Zhao Yang admits that Dinghaiwei's practice is insufficient, so Zhejiang Dusi is at least guilty of dereliction of duty.

"Pass the order down and go to Dinghaiwei." Li Yuntian ignored Luo Yong, gave an order to the guards on the side, and then turned around and strode away.

When the officials at the scene heard this, they immediately swarmed behind, whispering in private, and they all felt that Dinghaiwei was going to be unlucky.

Luo Yong glared at Zhao Yang angrily, got up and chased after him quickly, if it wasn't for Zhao Yang's mouth, how would Li Yuntian think of going to Dinghaiwei to inspect.

Zhao Yang knew that he had made a big disaster, so he hurried to Dinghaiwei to prepare for Li Yuntian's arrival.

Dinghaiwei's station was not far from the city's ship, Li Yuntian quickly arrived, under Zhao Yang's arrangement, the soldiers in the barracks had all gathered in the school field, waiting for Li Yuntian's inspection, the scene was silent, silent.

Li Yuntian walked in front of the queue of soldiers with a cold face, although these Dinghaiwei soldiers who appeared in front of him had yellow faces and thin muscles and dull eyes, they were all young and middle-aged, and it was obvious that many of them were temporarily transferred from other places by Dinghaiwei to fill up the number.

As far as Li Yuntian knows, there is usually a shortage of about 30 percent of the soldiers in the guards in the south, and there are quite a few old, weak, sick and disabled, but the soldiers who appeared in the school field today are not only full in number, but also young and middle-aged, and it is clear that they are specially there to deal with the inspection of their superiors.

Finding that Li Yuntian's face was not good, Luo Yong's face suddenly turned a little pale, and the rest of the officials also held their breath and didn't even dare to breathe.

"Bring the roster." After walking in front of the soldiers' queue, Li Yuntian said to Zhao Yang, who was bowing down beside him.

Zhao Yang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked people to bring a few brand-new rosters to Li Yuntian.

"Are you sure this is the roster that this king wants?" Li Yuntian looked through it and found that the pen and ink used to record the soldier's information on it were new, as if it had been dry for a few days, so he closed the roster in his hand and looked at Zhao Yang with a cold expression, he was sure that this was later forged by Zhao Yang.

"Wang ...... Wang Ye, after the attack on the city of Bo Si, he reorganized the soldiers of the guard, and selected a new group of people from the military household to enter the register, and now the prince is holding the roster of this guard. Zhao Yang knew that Li Yuntian doubted the authenticity of the roster, and hurriedly bowed down to explain.

"Drill it and let this king see it." Li Yuntian glanced at Zhao Yang when he heard this, he knew that Zhao Yang was telling the truth, and ordered in a deep voice after handing the roster in his hand to the guards on the side.

"Lord Wang, please." Zhao Yang saw that Li Yuntian was not entangled in the roster, and his heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and he bowed down and made a gesture of invitation to Li Yuntian, invited Li Yuntian and Zheng Liang and other senior officials to the general stage, and then quickly went down to make arrangements.

Since most of Dinghaiwei's soldiers were newly recruited military households, they had only been trained by Zhao Yang for a few days, and they could barely understand military orders, and they had never experienced this kind of large-scale drill.

Therefore, this made the results of the drill very bad, and the originally neat formation in the school field quickly became chaotic after Zhao Yang gave a few passwords, and the field was full of soldiers running around like headless flies looking for their respective teams, with noisy voices and confusion.

Seeing this situation, the officials present sighed helplessly, although they knew that there were many problems in the guard, but they didn't expect it to be so strict, and they couldn't even practice well, so how could they go into battle to kill the enemy?

However, to people's surprise, Li Yuntian did not say a word from beginning to end, and did not stop the exercise, but looked at the chaotic soldiers with a stern expression, which made people secretly curious in their hearts, and they didn't know what he thought in his heart, and he could endure this farce in front of him.
