Borrow the day to change the day

() "Okay." Seeing that it was Emperor Chongzhen who called him, Zhong Jinwei had no choice but to return to the palace obediently.

"Master Zhong, can you go to the barracks outside the city to see what happened to Master Sun, and can you give him advice and solve the problem?"

It turned out that Zhong Jinwei's usual performance had always given Emperor Chongzhen an impression that as soon as any difficulty came to Zhong Jinwei, there was a way to solve it.So when I saw Zhong Jinwei just now, I thought of this idea.

Go to the ancient military camp, I have never been there, I am quite yearning.Zhong Jinwei replied while thinking: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongzhen turned his head to Wang Chengen and said, "You send a few Dongchang soldiers to protect Master Zhong and go to the camp outside the city."

"Your Majesty, Uncle Zhongxing currently only has a title, but no position. In what name is he going to the barracks outside the city?" Wang Chengen reminded Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while and said, "Just go in the name of the Supervising Army."

Zhong Jinwei listened from the sidelines, I like the supervising army, it has a lot of power, and it doesn't have to work.

Farewell to Emperor Chongzhen, Zhong Jinwei followed Wang Chengen out of the palace gate.

Wang Chengen turned his head to Zhong Jinwei and said, "Uncle Zhongxing please stay at the Meridian Gate, our family will send someone to the East Factory, and select the guards to come and report to Uncle Zhongxing."

When Zhong Jinwei saw that he mentioned the matter of guards, he remembered the two he had used before, and said to Wang Chengen: "Grandpa Wang, Gu Baichuan and Wang Peng last time were good. If you want them to be free, come with me to the barracks."

Wang Chengen smiled and said: "It seems that these two little boys have done a good job, and Uncle Zhongxing has taken care of them. Alright, our family will send these two over."

"Oh, there is one more thing, I need to trouble the prince." Zhong Jinwei remembered another thing.

"Uncle Zhongxing, please tell me." Wang Chengen didn't dare think that Zhong Jin had too many guards.

"The prince, please send someone to tell Archie that I'm out on business and I don't know when I'll be back, so she doesn't have to worry about it." Zhong Jinwei was a little embarrassed when he said this.

Wang Chengen smiled, Uncle Zhongxing still cared about women.Right now it's okay.

Soon, Gu Baichuan and Wang Peng rushed to the Meridian Gate to meet Zhong Jinwei.Both of them are intelligent people. Of course, they like this kind of good thing that the leader cares about.The two of them immediately expressed their gratitude to Zhong Jinwei, and if they were willing to help, they sent a basket to Zhong Jinwei as soon as they saw him.

Zhong Jinwei is also very happy, they are all acquaintances.So, the three of them plus an eunuch who passed the decree went to the camp north of the capital.

Zhong Jinwei is still riding a horse this time. He has been riding for a day, and today he is more proficient in controlling the horse and trotting.

The two fans did not wear casual clothes this time, and followed Zhong Jinwei on horseback, attracting the attention of passers-by from time to time.

After getting out of the city gate, I saw a place about two miles away from the city, densely packed with tents.Stretching left and right, with no end in sight, it is very spectacular.

When I got closer, I realized that the military camp was not the same as it was written in the book. There were no ditches, no horses and the like. It was just like a camp, with one piece here and one there.

There are even many soldiers who have no tents at all and are directly in the open air.What is better than the refugees in the capital is that the supply of charcoal here is relatively sufficient, and you can see that there are a lot of piles on the side of each barracks block.

The few of them didn't wait until they entered the gate of the camp before the soldiers sitting next to them lazily stood up and stopped them. They didn't look at the seals or anything, just checked their attire and let them go.

Go all the way to the camp where Sun Chengzong is located, because it is closer, and the situation in the camp can be seen more clearly.Zhong Jinwei found that some soldiers only had wooden spears, and all kinds of clothes on their bodies, and they were tattered. Not to mention armor, very few had leather armor.Even Zhong Jinwei discovered that among the soldiers, there were some old men and little kids.

Zhong Jinwei was very speechless, this is an ancient soldier, can he fight Jianlu hand-to-hand?

When approaching the big tent of the Chinese army, you can see the guards.I saw that the soldiers were all middle-aged men, all in armor, holding a red-tasseled spear in one hand, and the handle of a waist knife in the other, standing meticulously.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes coming, a small flag standing on the other side came out and stretched out his right hand, blocking the way: "The Chinese army is an important place, get off your horse and walk."

The eunuch who passed the decree sat on the horse and said in a sharp voice: "There is an order, to Sun Chengzong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War and a scholar of the Zhongji Palace." Then he urged the horse to move forward.

After hearing this, Xiao Qi saw that the factory guards were following him, so he didn't dare to stop him. While leading the messenger to the Chinese army's tent, he sent someone to quickly report to Sun Chengzong.

Zhong Jinwei entered the tent of the Chinese army, and sighed that it was really big inside, and it would take a lot of time to set up the tent.

Soon, Sun Chengzong appeared in front of everyone, so the eunuch passed the decree step by step, and after conveying the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen to Sun Chengzong, he patted his butt and went back.

Sun Chengzong murmured in his heart: This matter is a headache for me, and there is nothing I can do about those soldiers.This young man has never served in the army, so he has no ability to make suggestions.

However, one is that Sun Chengzong is also a man who knows how to be a man, the other is that Emperor Chongzhen attached great importance to Zhongxing Bo, and he was a popular person in front of the saint. Didn't show it.

"Uncle Zhongxing has worked hard here, have you ever had a meal?"

"Ah, Master Sun is right. I didn't even eat breakfast, so I was arrested by the emperor and starved to death." Finally someone remembered to ask if he had eaten, and Zhong Jinwei replied gratefully.

Sun Chengzong was taken aback, he was just a routine polite remark, he didn't expect to really ask someone who didn't eat, this answer is so characteristic, the words reveal the meaning of complaining to the Holy One, and only Uncle Zhongxing can say that, Who else dares.

At the moment, Sun Chengzong hurriedly arranged for Zhong Jinwei to have a meal.Gu Baichuan and Wang Peng had eaten this time, so they didn't have to accompany Zhong Jinwei to eat again.

Although the meals in the army were simple, Zhong Jinwei was still satisfied with his meal, patted his belly and said, "It's finally resolved."

Seeing that Zhong Jinwei had finished eating, Sun Chengzong invited him to the big tent to discuss matters. Zhong Jinwei was also very surprised. How come Sun Chengzong, who is so famous as a great man, still can't figure out the layoffs. What is the problem?Just in time to ask.

As soon as he sat down, Zhong Jinwei couldn't wait to ask his own question: "Master Sun, isn't it easy to cut troops?"

Sun Chengzong has seen Zhong Jinwei's words and deeds in front of the Holy One many times, so he asked him this question directly. military.

"This old man feels very uneasy because he has failed the emperor's great trust. Fortunately, the emperor sent Uncle Zhongxing to help this old man with advice. We should understand this matter as soon as possible."

Isn't it said that old man Sun is an upright person, why is he so good at flattering?Zhong Jinwei was a little surprised by what he heard just now.In fact, he only needs to think about it a little bit, how could people who were ups and downs in the ancient times be single-minded.

Not knowing what the difficulty was, Zhong Jinwei naturally didn't dare to boast about Haikou, and kept being modest, and then asked: "Master Sun, what is the reason why the disarmament cannot be implemented?"

Sun Chengzong stroked his long beard under his forehead with his hands in a habitual way, and then said: "It happens that this old man is going to call all the generals to pay homage to the supervising army. I will ask them face to face about the situation of the elimination of soldiers. Uncle Zhongxing will understand immediately."

Soon, the big drum sound of "dong dong dong" sounded.Sun Chengzong pressed a chair next to the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army tent, and invited Zhong Jinwei to sit down.Then he sat on the handsome seat and waited for the generals to come to pay homage.Gu Baichuan and Wang Peng stood behind Zhong Jinwei and guarded him.

Sitting there, Zhong Jinwei couldn't help looking forward to it, but also a little excited.In the past, I saw such scenes on TV at most. When discussing affairs, there are rows of generals, majestic and majestic.Immediately, I will participate in it, and I still sit here by myself, waiting for those generals to come and pay homage.Ho Ho, looking forward to it!

However, to Zhong Jinwei's surprise, the first person to rush to the camp was not a military general in armor and a helmet, but a civil servant.What was even more surprising was that this civil servant was not the refined kind, but a burly man in his prime, but with very fair skin.

I saw this brawny civil servant stepping forward and cupping his fists: "See my soldier."

Sun Chengzong nodded to him, and said: "Jiutai stay here."

A string of question marks appeared on Zhong Jinwei's forehead: Jiutai, who is it? I've never heard of such a number one figure in the late Ming Dynasty!

The brawny civil servant also wondered why there was a commoner sitting beside Sun Chengzong, and there were two Dongchang fans standing behind him.What kind of person is this?Could it be someone from Dongchang, so why not wear Dongchang's clothes?

While the two were sizing each other up, other leading generals began to rush over one after another.

Every general who rushed over was very curious about Zhong Jinwei, but he didn't ask any more questions, standing on both sides for orders, or whispering to each other.

After the three-way drum was finished, Zhong Jinwei saw that the big tent was not full of people.I can't help thinking, why are there only so many generals in such a continuous barracks?I can't help but feel a little puzzled.
