While Qin Tai and Zhan were talking a little, Ma Ming, who was secretly investigating outside, was already in a cold sweat. Ma Ming thought he had been careful enough, and when he took over, he not only counted the account books, but also inspected some warehouses on the spot. Unexpectedly, the people below still moved their hands and feet, and they moved very strongly. The Kunshan military camp has almost become an empty shell.

Ma Ming hurriedly returned to his tent, of course, when he came, he did not forget to tell everyone not to leak a word, let alone discuss this matter in private.

Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao are also human beings, and when they saw Ma Ming's hurried appearance, they knew what Ma Ming had found out. They weren't in a hurry, waiting for Ma Ming to take a breath.

After all, Ma Ming is an old person, if he were the age of ordinary people, he would have enjoyed happiness at home a long time ago, and his children and grandchildren would be around his knees. But Ma Ming is not only a eunuch who will not have descendants, but also a eunuch who has no money. Ma Ming either helped others in his life, or lived a hard life, not only did he not have time to make money, but he also had no opportunity to make money. Since arriving at the Kunshan military camp, he has not forgotten to actively prepare for war and stabilize the soldiers, so this eunuch is the eunuch who will not make the most money since the establishment of the Kunshan military camp.

Ma Ming grabbed a cup of tea, poured a few big sips, and said, "Lord Qin, you really expect things like a god." Not only did a large number of materials disappear when Zhang Jing was there, but there were also problems over the years. It seems that there are really unscrupulous elements in the army, and they are still secretly stealing and selling military supplies. ”

Qin Tai had thought of it a long time ago, but now what he wanted to know most was the shortage of materials.

Ma Ming said hatefully: "The Kunshan military camp belongs to the garrison army that compliments Nanjing, and there are not only infantry in the army, but also sailors and warships. When necessary, the troops could be divided into two routes, and they could rush to Nanjing City by land and water. Although the naval forces of the Kunshan military camp are trained in rotation once a year, the warships and some military equipment are the best among the naval forces in the south. Now the miscellaneous family secretly counted and found that not only were most of the warships missing, but also the remaining warships had been transferred and replaced with some eliminated and broken ships that were not used by ordinary sailors. If these warships are used normally, they can carry 20,000 to 30,000 sailors and sail in the sea for seven to ten days without interruption, which is a large warship. Not only were the warships well-equipped, but each warship was equipped with eight to twelve Shenwu cannons. Adding up to a total of more than a hundred, this number is staggering. There were also artillery, firecrackers, swords and arrows, battle armor, siege vehicles, crossbow arrows, repeating arrows, etc., and a large number of supplies did not match the actual amount. If it weren't for the fact that there had been no war in the Kunshan military camp in recent years, what would the soldiers do to fight with the Japanese invaders? ”

Zhan Xiaoxiao also said angrily: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will be the Japanese who will use your weapons to beat you, and the brothers will die on the weapons produced by their own people, these weapons should have been theirs, and they should have used them to kill the Japanese invaders." These traitors really deserve to be killed, and they really should be cut with a thousand knives. ”

Qin Tai was a little more worried, first of all, how could the Kunshan military camp have so many material reserves? A garrison army with a total number of no more than 10,000 people has a large fleet of warships and so many weapons and equipment. If this batch of materials falls into the hands of some people with ulterior motives, or falls into the hands of an ambitious vassal king, it can be directly divided into one side. This batch of materials must not be simple, maybe there are other secrets hidden.

Although the others did not speak, his expression had already told Ma Ming that Qin Tai had doubts in his heart.

Ma Ming didn't hide it, and said it 1510. This secret turned out to be so shocking, it scared Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao a little that they shouldn't come here, let alone know this secret.

It turns out that the Kunshan military camp is not simple at all, and its existence involves a top secret. When the Ming Dynasty was established, Emperor Taizu Hongwuye Zhu Yuanzhang established a relatively complete military organization. In addition to the forbidden army around the emperor, guards were set up in various places. In particular, in some important places, a permanent mechanism has been established for the cantonment of troops. The soldiers guarded the main road, and the families of the soldiers set up camp at the guard post. These families lived permanently in the garrison, and as long as the soldiers had male descendants who could continue to serve as soldiers, they would receive a salary and a small piece of land. This method of garrisoning troops is essentially a better method, but it is actually not very useful. Later, in his later years, Hong Wuye divided the world's soldiers and horses into ten towns, and the four towns of the border pass were Datong Town to resist the northern nomads, Zhennan Town to defend the south, Dengzhou Town to defend the eastern coast, and Lanzhou Town to contain the west. Among them, the towns of Datong and Lanzhou were partly used to defend against the remnants of the Mongol tribes. Dengzhou Town belongs to the naval defense sea area. Zhennan Town handed over to Mu Ying, the righteous son of Zhu Yuanzhang, Hong Wuye, and the Mu family will always guard southern Yunnan for the Ming Dynasty. The other part of Lanzhou Town is to prevent the ethnic minorities in the western region from causing rebellion. In addition to the four towns in the frontier, there were three towns left by the emperor's side, namely the Forbidden Army, the Guards Army, and the Imperial Forest Army. The three armies each have their own types of land and water arms, but the division of labor is different, the forbidden army belongs to the emperor's personal army, and the emperor has to follow there when he marches there. The Guards were the troops that guarded the Imperial Palace, and were stationed around the Imperial Palace for a long time, protecting and guarding the Imperial Palace, a symbol of imperial power. Although the Imperial Guards are also royal guards, their functions are a bit chaotic, first of all, they have to protect the safety of the big and small officials of the Beijing Division, as well as the safety of the royal family. Second, the Imperial Forest Army also shouldered the task of policing the capital division and patrolling the tranquility of the surrounding areas. Third, when the Qincha travels, the Imperial Forest Army must also send people to escort and defend it, acting as the guard of honor of the Qincha Guard. Fourth, when the border pass was tight, the Imperial Forest Army as a reserve, led by the generals personally appointed by the emperor, rushed to the border pass to defend against the enemy. The remaining three towns are soldiers and horses from all over the country, but one of them is guarding the ancestral tomb of Fengyang.

In order to get the throne from his nephew Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty, launched the "Jingyan Change". succeeded in forcing Emperor Jianwen away and sat on the throne of the emperor himself. At that time, Emperor Chengzu ascended the throne as emperor in Nanjing, and the imperial palace in Beijing was built later. When the Beijing Imperial Palace of Ming Chengzu was built, he ordered the capital to be moved to the north. At this time, the eunuch who managed the Kunshan military camp happened to be a eunuch loyal to Emperor Jianwen. In order to leave a little capital for Emperor Jianwen, and also so that Emperor Jianwen can make a comeback in the future, he deliberately left a large number of military supplies. Unexpectedly, this matter was discovered by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di's Jinyi Wei not long after. Ming Chengzu is also a person who can forbear, and after knowing the news, he didn't move, hoping to use this as a bait to lure out Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen. Ming Chengzu Zhu Di never expected that his foreshadowing would save one of his grandsons. Zhu Di had three famous sons, the first son not only served as a hostage of Emperor Jianwen in his early years, but later managed the rear of the Yanwang Mansion in Yanjing City for a long time. Later, he became the crown prince of Emperor Chengzu and later the emperor. The second son followed Emperor Chengzu to fight in the south and the north, and his military achievements were the strongest, and his generals also supported the second prince, but because he was the second son, he did not become the prince. The third son, who was later King Zhao, became a descendant of Zhu Di who was not eliminated until the fall of the Ming Dynasty. The crown prince is too weak, and the second prince is too strong, which has become a heart disease of Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di. If it weren't for the prince's son, that is to say, if it weren't for the fact that the emperor's grandson was more like his grandfather Zhu Di than his old son, Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di would really change the crown prince. Later, only a year after the death of Emperor Chengzu, the crown prince, who had just become emperor, also died. The second prince, who didn't dare to think about anything wrong, began to contact the old ministry again, trying to overthrow his nephew emperor and come to a "second Jingjing change". The new emperor went to Fengyang to worship his ancestors, and soon after returning to the old palace in Nanjing, his ambitious second uncle surrounded Jiangsu. If it weren't for the desperate resistance of the forbidden army around the emperor, the army would have besieged Nanjing City long ago, and the emperor would have become the second Emperor Jianwen.

Just when the emperor felt that the general trend had gone, the eunuch who was stationed in the Kunshan military camp, that is, a confidant eunuch of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, still opened a large number of military supplies in the Kunshan military camp. At that time, the emperor was at a disadvantage mainly because the army was unstable, not equipped enough, and the weapons were not sophisticated. How could the emperor who came to worship his ancestors think that his uncle would unite with some local generals to rebel? Therefore, the forbidden army does not have much equipment, and the weapons are also imaginary, but they are just good-looking. With this batch of military supplies for actual combat, the morale of the forbidden army was greatly boosted. The emperor personally went into battle, defeated the rebellion in one go, and captured his uncle's second prince alive. Afterwards, the emperor decreed that the Kunshan military camp belonged to the Imperial Horse Supervisor of the Beijing Imperial Palace, and the materials in it were not to be used and deployed except for regular inspection and replacement. Since then, the vassal kings who have come to Nanjing City to enjoy the glory are just that, if there are different intentions, the Kunshan military camp can immediately activate the emergency mechanism to control the vassal kings in Nanjing. It turned out that the Kunshan military camp was ostensibly to defend the city of Nanjing, but in fact it was to monitor and control the vassal kings in the city of Nanjing. You must know that Nanjing City is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the princes who can be vassal in Nanjing City are all the emperor's younger brothers or uncles. Brothers, uncles and nephews are the closest to the people, but the relationship at the royal level is also the most delicate. If it is good, it is to break the bones and connect the tendons, and if it is not good, it is the emperor's worst enemy.

When Ma Ming was assigned to the Kunshan military camp as a supervisor, he once received a secret decree from Emperor Jiajing asking him to closely monitor the war in the south. The former prince of Nanjing City has been arrested by Emperor Jiajing and returned to Beijing for punishment because of his vain discussion of government affairs, and there is no prince in Nanjing City. Ma Ming's most important task was to monitor and balance the governor of Liangjiang, who was now the governor of Jiangnan, Hu Zongxian. As long as Hu Zongxian dares to bend the law for bribes, or delay the fighter, Ma Ming has the right to report it. When necessary, troops can be transferred to control Hu Zongxian and temporarily take over military affairs along the southeast coast. It seems that Emperor Jiajing is really cunning, on the surface, he is denigrating Ma Ming, but in fact, he is using his most trusted Ma Ming to spy on Hu Zongxian. As long as you have equipment and supplies in hand, you can immediately recruit troops and control the surrounding armies, and the Kunshan military camp will soon become a new center of power. But who would have thought that this Kunshan military camp, which may be the core of power in the future, has become a dilapidated military camp that is inferior to ordinary military camps because of the corruption and collaborators of the former eunuch Zhang Jing, and the concealment of the generals under him. Fortunately, it was discovered early, and if it happened before it happened, it would definitely have a devastating blow to the Kunshan military camp. At that time, Ma Ming, the eunuch who manages the Kunshan military camp, will be the first to be pulled out and beheaded.
