After the others dispersed, Li Guozhen, the uncle of Xiangcheng, sat alone in the study, thinking of Tang Guozuo's clever performance just now, he couldn't help but sneer.

always thinks that he is a smart person, hiding behind his back and showing off those little cleverness, but in fact, he is the stupidest.

This was the case last time when his old man Li Shouqi was in charge, but when Li Banghua was dismissed, he almost didn't get any benefits, and now after so many years, he still hasn't changed at all, and he really hasn't made any progress.

Li Guozhen, who had some disdain for Tang Guozuo in his heart, shook his head and stopped thinking about him.

To be honest, from Li Guozhen's heart, he didn't want to fight Li Banghua, it was too risky, and it was not necessary.

Last time, when he faced Li Banghua, he also chose to back down.

After all, Chongzhen's personality is suspicious, as long as they impeach a few more times, after a long time, Li Banghua will naturally return to his hometown like last time.

But Li Guozhen doesn't want to wait now.

On the one hand, it is because Li Banghua once rectified the Beijing camp, and with experience, if he is allowed to rectify it this time, it will definitely be very simple to do.

Li Guozhen was worried that after Li Banghua completed the rectification this time, if the emperor felt that the effect was good and kept letting him manage the Beijing camp, it would be a big trouble.

On the other hand, because of the chaos in the court now, there are Jiannu in the north and anti-thieves in the south, and the more this time, the more the emperor relies on these nobles.

So at this time, even if something really happens, as long as these nobles are united, Chongzhen will not do anything to them.

In the past, when these nobles made mistakes, they only let them fine them with three glasses of wine.

Now that this is the case, he doesn't believe that Chongzhen dares to be ruthless to them.

After all, the closest relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the emperor is their generations of nobles, if they are forced to rebel, who will guard the Ming Dynasty for the emperor.

It is precisely because of this that Li Guojiao will have no fear, and will express his disdain after understanding Tang Guozuo's careful thoughts.

In his opinion, as long as they don't rebel and are greedy for money, there is no need to look ahead and backward.

Li Guojiao, who had made up his mind, personally went to the station of Jingying and arranged everything.

……

The next day, Li Banghua rushed to the station in Beijing early in the morning.

The so-called Beijing camp is actually composed of three armies, namely the five military battalions, the three thousand battalions and the Shenji battalion.

Among them, the five military camps are mostly infantry, and the reason why they are called the five military camps is because it is composed of five armies: the central army, the left and right sentry armies, and the left and right sentinel armies.

The other two battalions, the 3,000 battalions, are mostly composed of cavalry, and the Shenji battalion uses firearms a lot, and its combat power is also unique in the world.

At that time, Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, relied on these three battalions, five expeditions to Mobei, sealed the wolf Juxu, and played the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, this is only talking about the previous three battalions.

At present, the three battalions are claimed to be 200,000, but when Li Banghua personally came to inspect them yesterday, he had estimated the number of non-commissioned officers in his mind according to the military register, and even if the soldiers of the three major battalions were counted, even if the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the men in charge of logistics were counted, it would be good to have 80,000 men.

It is precisely for this reason that Li Banghua can't wait to rectify the Beijing camp.

In his opinion, as long as the Beijing battalion is put in order, these three battalions can completely restore their former glory and become the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that he has just arrived at the Fifth Military Camp, and he feels that the atmosphere today seems to be a little wrong.

When he came to Beijing yesterday, Li Guojiao, the governor of Beijing, although his face was not very good-looking, he also accompanied him throughout the whole process.

But today, let alone accompanying him, I can't even see a single figure at all.

"Well, that's true."

Li Banghua, who had expected it, was not too surprised, he sighed in his heart, and directly called the commander of the five military camps.

"Where is Governor Li Guozhen?"

"This ......"

Zhang Changying, the commander of the fifth military camp, looked a little embarrassed, and he vomited for a long time before he spoke: "Back to Lord Yushi, Lord Li said that he was unwell and didn't come over today. ”

"Heh~"

Li Banghua sneered, looked at Zhang Changying's embarrassed face, and didn't ask any more questions, "That's it, just hold the illness." ”

"Commander Zhang, please gather the generals of the five military camps, this official has something to talk about."

"Yes, sir."

Zhang Changying arched his hand, without the slightest hint of slackness.

For him, whether it is Li Guozhen, the commander of the Beijing camp, or Li Banghua, the imperial history of the left capital who was ordered to rectify the Beijing camp, it is not someone he can offend.

Although he has a closer relationship with Li Guozhen, now that Li Guozhen is hiding as a shrinking turtle, it is a joke for him to come forward to offend Li Banghua.

Therefore, Zhang Changying had already made up his mind in his heart that the two would not help each other, anyway, he also had a backstage, as long as he did not offend these two people, he was not afraid of what these two people would do to him.

Zhang Changying's movements were very fast, and the officers above the command of the 12 regiments and battalions of the 5th Army Battalion quickly rushed to Li Banghua's tent.

"Humble position, meet the imperial history of Zuodu."

Li Banghua, who was scattered among these generals, saluted, and his voice was also sparse, high and low, obviously he didn't treat Li Banghua, the left capital imperial history who came to rectify the Beijing camp, very much.

Especially some of Li Guozhen's henchmen, who were looking at Li Banghua with unkind eyes at this time, were even thinking about how to quietly give Li Banghua a dismissal.

Li Banghua, who was sitting behind the handsome case, didn't care about the expressions of these people, turned his head to look at Zhang Changying, and asked, "Everyone is here?" ”

"Uh, less...... A few less. ”

To be honest, Zhang Changying didn't expect Li Guozhen to do such a desperate job, responsible for taking charge of the military register and expenses, and the most important people didn't come.

Therefore, now hearing Li Banghua's question, Zhang Changying didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Oh."

Li Banghua glanced at the crowd and found that none of the familiar faces who brought him the military register yesterday were there today, and he immediately knew what was going on.

"It's okay, if there are fewer people, there will be fewer people, what the official said today, you can tell them later, it doesn't matter."

Seeing that Li Banghua was so good at talking, Zhang Changying suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He was really afraid that Li Banghua would have a direct attack just now, after all, Li Banghua was sent by the emperor to rectify the Beijing camp, but their Beijing camp was so uncooperative, if it was a big trouble, or Li Banghua sued His Majesty, they would definitely have to go around without food.

Thinking of this, Zhang Changying couldn't help but scold Li Guozhen angrily in his heart, Li Guozhen is a high-ranking and powerful person, and he is still a hereditary noble, what else can he do except scold.

After sighing helplessly in his heart, Zhang Changying opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Yushi, I don't know what you command?" ”
