Chang'an, as the capital of the Western Wei Dynasty, was second only to Huazhou City, where the overlord was located, in terms of the number of garrisons.

These armor soldiers include the Chang'an Forbidden Army and the government soldiers in Yongzhou, mainly distributed in several military cities around Chang'an, including the Chang'an Imperial City, which is also a military city.

The forbidden army of Chang'an City was originally composed of the people of the six squares who followed Xiaowu to move westward, and with the passage of so many years, a considerable number of the people of the six squares were eliminated by battle damage and natural death, but the rest still belonged to the absolute backbone of the Chang'an forbidden army.

For example, in the early years of the Great Unification, Li Hu and others led the army to attack Lingzhou Cao Ni, and after pacifying Lingzhou, they migrated many of the local Hao chieftain forces in Lingzhou to settle near Xianyang. This part of the Hao chieftain was also successively added to Chang'an's janissary guard and city guard system in the following years.

In addition, there were some other powerful armed forces with a heart for the Western Wei royal family who also took the initiative to attach themselves to the Gyeonggi region and joined the garrison in the country.

In the past few years, the Yuwentai Bafu has been promoting the strengthening of the construction of the government army, and the Guanxi Haoqiang army has been reorganized into a government army subordinate to the Bafu.

However, there was no systematic reorganization of the garrison in Chang'an, for example, Li Hu, who has been in charge of the dispatch of the garrisons around Chang'an, is probably the only person who still actually holds military power after serving as the Pillar State, and he is also the first person to die in the Six Pillars Kingdom, and his special existence did not last too long.

The garrison of Chang'an City, especially the forbidden army as the core force, they have the personnel structure of the upper echelons of the government soldiers, such as Qi Wang Yuankuo, Huai'an Wang Yuanyu, etc., all belong to the sequence of the twelve generals, and they also commanded the Gyeonggi people in a short period of moderation at the beginning of the formation of the government soldiers.

But in fact, the military registration of the Chang'an City garrison does not belong to the Chinese and foreign governments, especially the Chang'an Forbidden Army, which still has its own system and management. Therefore, even Yuwentai could not accept it with the system of six pillars and twelve generals, and still needed to achieve control of the Chang'an forbidden army by appointing leading troops, left and right guards and Wuwei generals.

The current Chang'an Forbidden Army is an armed force independent of the government military system.

At the beginning of the year, when Wei Chi Yu sent troops to attack Shu, a considerable part of the people of the six squares of the forbidden army participated in it, and they were not dispatched by the Chinese and foreign governments, but through recruitment, and those soldiers of the forbidden army took the initiative to respond to the recruitment, so that they could join the army.

Obviously, this is Yuwentai through his own power to conquer foreign countries, using the exploits and the capture of booty to induce these people of the six squares to take the initiative to throw themselves into his arms.

Due to the fact that many soldiers of the forbidden army went to Bashu, this also greatly affected the normal arrangement of the Chang'an guard. If you want to meet the needs of the guards who defend the imperial palace garden, you can only send elite men and horses from other places to supplement the forbidden army.

Therefore, from the first half of the year to the present, Chang'an's forbidden army guards have been carrying out frequent personnel scheduling. And in these personnel scheduling, there are many intrigues.

Guarding the Forbidden Army is originally a very meticulous and meticulous job, and it involves complex personnel changes, which is even more sloppy, but now it is mixed with many conspiracies and tricks with ulterior motives, so mistakes are inevitable.

When the time entered October, the Beijing Central Forbidden Army System began to organize the list of personnel and the schedule of the Guards in Layue.

The guards of the Chang'an Forbidden Army are roughly about 12,000 people, each thousand people are a large team, divided into 12 times a year, and each guard army needs to participate in the three times of the guard every year, that is, three months. The Imperial City Guards are usually kept at 3,000 people, and more are added when there are Grand Rite missions, with a team of 1,000 men completing the Guards mission each month and being supplemented by another team.

In addition to participating in the guards, these forbidden army teams are stationed in the military cities around Chang'an on a daily basis to conduct various military training. Of course, these soldiers of the forbidden army rarely completed their training tasks in full, and when they did not participate in the guards, they often ran rampant in Gyeonggi and bullied men and women, so they were called the first tyrant of Jinnai.

This is the case with the dormitory rules, so the monthly dormitory staff arrangement is already made two months in advance. In this way, even if there is any personal accident, adjustments can be made in advance.

Due to the great changes in the personnel of the Praetorian Guards this year, many of the units and troops exist in name only, so it is also very troublesome to compile the list of guards, and it is necessary to confirm the battalion personnel, arsenal equipment, and so on several times in order to ensure that no mistakes occur.

On this day, General Wuwei Yu Yi took the list of characters drawn up by the Right Guard Military Office, and first entered the camp to check the soldiers of Layue and the Suwei guard, but found that there were more than 300 people in the shortage.

It is impossible to have a single person missing from the personnel of the Sensu Guard, let alone a shortage of more than 300 people. If this is not remedied, maybe outsiders can walk into the inner courtyard of the palace casually.

So Yu Yi went back and forth between the military mansions and the military city, and it took a whole day until late at night to deploy the personnel to the fullest. But his mission was not yet complete, and he had to go to an arsenal on the north bank of Weishui to inspect his armor.

When he arrived at the Weibei Arsenal, it was already early in the morning, and accompanied by the management of the arsenal, he inspected the ordnance that needed to be issued in Layue.

After a busy work, it was already dawn, so Yu Yi stayed here for the time being, and then returned to the military palace after dawn.

At dawn, Yu Yi was aroused by his own soldiers, and after a little washing and eating, he was supposed to leave for the south immediately, but after thinking about it, he still said: "The lights were dim last night, and the inspection was not detailed enough, so I will take stock today." ”

The managers of the arsenal were naturally a little unhappy when they heard this, but they did not dare to speak out against it, so they could only reluctantly open the arsenal through various procedures.

Yu Yi held the treasury book presented by the treasury officer, the military government book and the list of guard equipment, and compared the ordnance in detail, and only after confirming it again that it was correct, he was relieved.

It's just that when he was about to leave the arsenal, he suddenly looked around the arsenal again, and suddenly frowned and asked: "There are 300 horn bows in the library here, why don't you see Chen?" ”

After hearing this, the treasurer looked a little dazed at first, and even though he panicked, he hurriedly lowered his head and said: "At the beginning of the month, he was transferred from the Dasi Nong Mansion to the Weibei Guankuan, and he was busy building a collection of warehouses, and the deadline for the treasury at the end of the month has not yet arrived, so I really don't know what I lost before......

Yu Yi originally just asked casually, after all, this was not under his jurisdiction, but when he heard the treasury official say this, his face couldn't help but change, when he withdrew from this arsenal, and ordered the accompanying soldiers to quickly block all the arsenals and treasury books here, and then told the right guard army to send personnel to take inventory of the treasury.

Soon the general of the right guard, the king of Jiancheng Yuanding, led a team of armor soldiers from the south bank straight to the Weibei arsenal, three hundred horned bows said that it was not much, but if the arsenal was lost in Jinnai, the consequences would be big or small.

Although Yuan Ding is the Yuan Wei clan, he has been on the Hedong front line for a long time, and it was only in the middle of the year that he was recommended by Zhongshan Gongyu Wenhu to return to the dynasty as the right guard general, so he did not dare to be sloppy in his duties.

The results of the inventory soon came out, and the three hundred angular bows in the warehouse, including the bowstring and other accessories, were indeed missing, and there was no record of leaving the warehouse in the library book.

If such a big mistake occurred, of course Yuan Ding had to investigate it strictly, but under some interrogation, the cadre treasury officials just shouted injustice again and again, and they couldn't provide any useful clues.

This is also a helpless thing, because there have been a lot of regulatory loopholes in the management related to the Praetorian Guard this year, which is difficult to trace, and if it is deliberately concealed by someone with a heart, the truth may never be exposed.

"There are still three arsenals in Fuzhong and Weibei, which are under integrated supervision. Since it is difficult to check here, it is better to go to other warehouses to check and see more clues. ”

Yu Yi saw that things were at an impasse, and when he opened his mouth to propose.

Although he is only a subordinate, he is both the son of Zhuguo Yu Jin and the son-in-law of Taishi Yuwentai, and Yuan Ding does not dare to slack off on his opinions, and after a little silence, he nodded and agreed.

So they temporarily left a group of guards to block the arsenal and personnel here, and then went to other arsenals to investigate.

It doesn't matter if you check this one, in addition to the three hundred horn bows lost in the arsenal here, there are also many missing ordnance in other arsenals, although it does not reach hundreds of thousands, but the cumulative quantity is also quite considerable, and the quality is not low, even including ten pairs of heavy armor!

If it was just a bow and knife or something, the situation was not too serious, but now even the armor has been lost, which is not a trivial matter.

When Yu Yi and Yuan Ding saw this list of lost ordnance, their faces turned a little pale, and they knew that this matter could not be covered casually, otherwise if it really broke out, they might not be able to withstand it.

So they could only continue to report the situation to the boss of the forbidden army, Wei Chigang, who succeeded his brother as the leading general, and after learning about this, Wei Chigang immediately became nervous, and directly ordered to temporarily block the news, and then transferred his cronies to seriously and thoroughly investigate within the forbidden army system.
