Chapter 59 Finale
To the west of the capital, there are three major camps.
After the autumn begins, it rains a few times, which makes people feel cold in winter in a blink of an eye, but the three camps are in full swing, and people shout and neighing everywhere.
The soldiers and horses of the six towns around the capital were commanding their powerful soldiers to the capital to show their martial arts. This grand occasion could only happen after Emperor Gaozu, when Emperor Chengzu, before Emperor Wuzong, but it was achieved in the year of Longqing. Even the officials who were in charge of the army in the capital were impossible.
Just because of this, Chen Mu was impeached a lot.
In fact, General Chen felt that he was very wronged. Of course, he did not feel that he was impeached if he was impeached. But this was really wronged. He was not the behind-the-scenes driver as others imagined, nor was he able to fuel such major events. He always felt that he had good luck in order to encounter such a thing that maximized the benefits for him.
But others obviously don’t think so. If Chen Ju hadn’t gone to resist Mahe’s army, how could he return to the capital and ask for a follower to read the cannon in the three camps?
If he hadn't presented Feng Bao with a plan to read the scriptures in a comprehensive way, how could Feng Bao tell the emperor's words in his ear?
If it weren't for Gao Gongguanli, how could Gao Juelu not say anything about stopping the emperor from reading this big thing?
The head of the East Factory was fully promoted, and the first assistant Li Chunfang and the second assistant Zhang Juzheng did not say a word. Gao Gong, the second assistant who had watched the ceremony, and Chen Hong, the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, could not speak on this matter. This was not uncommon for the cabinet quarrels since Emperor Jiajing, and it was such a big event that it was terrible to reach an agreement.
Some people saw Chen Mu's slander, while others saw Chen Mu's ability in the arrangement of Dayue. People are in different positions and what they see are also different.
In any case, General Chen's prestige in the capital rose sharply after the Longqing Dayue was settled, and the nickname Chen Mianhua was given to him.
Because I'm not afraid of bullets.
In more than a month, he had impeached him for more than twenty copies, and each of them was in a dilemma. The only one said that he was slacking off and ignored military affairs. The cabinet opened a discussion and gave a solution to the problem of being a half-year salary.
Immediately afterwards, the Ministry of War transported another 17,000 taels of military reward silver to Xiaoxiying.
Chen Mu was also very diligent. He lived in the house rewarded by the emperor for two days. He returned to Xiaoxiying to train soldiers. When he went to the court to issue an edict to transfer his troops into the Beijing camp, he led thousands of troops to the Beijing camp with guns and cannons.
Feng Baopu's stall was bigger than him. The imperial edict issued by the court was to command the six-sided generals, and all of them led 500 troops to the capital to participate in the review. Even the general Deng Zilong had to bring 500 troops with him. With this, Chen Mu's soldiers had become 1,000.
In Xiaoxi Camp, he had more than 600 soldiers and more than 800 recruits, and was left by the guerrilla Hu Liangpeng.
It made Hu Daxiong so angry.
"That battalion horse team is so majestic. Whose person is that?"
Stationed in Beijing Camp, Chen Mu's official position was not in line with the military and horses in all directions, and the camp location was not good or bad. In front of him were the generals of the six borders and seven towns. He was ranked behind Yang Siwei, the generals of Chang Town, and was barely treated as the deputy generals. The water and food were not short, and it was quite acceptable.
Chen Mu took a few members to follow him and walked around the camp with Deng Zilong. He didn't want people to think that he was intentional in spying. He hurriedly glanced at the horse and walked away. He almost looked around the military officers and looked forward. The most decent one must be Qi Jiguang's soldiers. The soldiers in his camp were like robots. Even when they were resting, they sat opposite each other around a bonfire and did not speak, so that they could eat, and then sat down without saying a word after eating.
There is discipline inside and outside.
Other camps are different, it is called noisy, especially in Liaodong Town. When a war horse in iron armor rushes out like a locomotive, several armored cavalry run out with small Franc guns to chase the horses; or there are fighting in the camp, and Liaodong soldiers wrapped in thick armor and cotton armor can see that they are good men who have suffered enough, and they are brave inside and outside.
The most were cavalry. Most of the generals and deputy generals from the six towns were cavalry. The Qi family army brought a small cart battalion, with chariots, horses, cannons and guns. It was a mini Jizhen combat unit. Among the first twenty camps, only Chen Mu's camp was all infantry.
"General before the expedition to the West, that's the cavalry of Datong Town." Deng Zilong looked at the general's name and said to Chen Mu: "General, when we go to Wanquan, we will also get a battalion of cavalry."
What attracted him the most was the camp of Ma Fang, the general of the former expedition to the West. The five hundred cavalry from his camp were all with braids and surrendered to Mongolian cavalry. Everyone rode a strong horse, a knife and a bone, and a two old-fashioned musket in the horse's buttocks. Although these soldiers with flesh-faced faces rarely spoke Chinese, they were very disciplined under Ma Fang's constraints - although not as good as the Qi family army.
"cavalry?"
Chen Mu chuckled, immediately pointed to a camp in the distance and said, "See the soldiers of Zhenbao Town. What is the difference between their guns and ours?"
Zhenbao Town is Zhending and Baoding, which is the area that was broken through by Ji Neng a few days ago. If their army had not been moving in the rear to close the defense line, Ji Neng might have found a place to break through the Juma River.
This time they also sent three 500 battalions, including infantry and cavalry, and the infantry also carried Franchises.
When Chen Mu asked what the difference was, Deng Zilong smiled and said, "Their guns are long."
"Yes, their guns are long, so we can't use them immediately. Our guns are short. At the beginning, I asked Lao Guan to do it, and what I did was to use them immediately."
"But it's not easy to practice. It's not easy for me to stop and install a gun now." Chen Mu said, patting the gun on his waist, saying, "So there is also this. A horse soldier has at least three guns and two sabers. When he meets a crossbowman, he uses a short gun to hit him for a while, and then approaches two gunmen and shoots for another time. If the troops are similar, he should have already been defeated. He can kill someone by lifting a saber."
Chen Mu also wanted to have cavalry. He had long hoped that there would be a cavalry team. The biggest shortcoming of his army now is that there were no cavalry and no chariot camps. He shook his head and said, "Wait for me to find a way to get the horses first, there will be cavalry."
When we returned to the camp, several flag soldiers were driving four pack horses. They were hanging a cart with a long van with red cloth behind them. The steel-bone wheels plowed out two gullies on the Sanhe land and stretched towards the official road outside the Beijing camp.
Long Junxiong took off his bag and his loose hair was shorter than others. He handed over his waist sign, looked back at the carriage, and said to Chen Mu, "General, I've got it back. There are only two Chen Youjian, one of them."
Chen Mu looked at the carriage, nodded slowly, without saying a word, but looked left and right, and signaled to the camp that Long Junxiong would drive the carriage into the camp.
On the carriage were ten-pound cannons worth more than nine feet long, nearly ten feet long. For all the generals in the northern border, this was a city defense cannon.
For its maker Chen Mu, in the sea, it is a conventional ship gun; on the ground, it is a field gun.
His finale in the capital.
