The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 811 Guards Army

Ma Yi didn't know Jin Yiwei's badge.

But seeing Zhang Meng's aura doesn't look like a fake, Ma Yi naturally believed it, not to mention that the waist card also looks real.

The other party was only staying for one night, which was not a big request, so Ma Yi readily agreed.

"I'm going to do my job according to the orders, how can I be negligent in my lowly position... Everyone please!"

So Zhang Meng walked in front and led the eight people behind him into the army village.

This is a camp of thousands of households. It covers a large area, but there are fewer people inside.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Yanxun couldn't help asking: "Since it is a house of thousands of households, why are there only more than a hundred people?"

Seeing that it was a young man asking the question, Ma Yi was upset.

Shangguan is present, how can the young people speak?
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun has lost all his sharpness, and he looks like an ordinary young man, but he is more handsome than ordinary people, so Ma Yi didn't notice the difference in him.

Although he was unhappy, Ma Yi still replied: "There are 530 and nine soldiers in this thousand households. In the past two days, more than 300 brothers have been sent to the village after receiving food requisition errands!"

Right now, there are many places that need to use food, such as relocating refugees, such as using troops in the northwest, and the imperial court is so poor that it is natural to collect food from various places.

Of course, this grain requisition is only aimed at wealthy households, based on those with [-] mu of land, and households with less than [-] mu of land will not be expropriated.

Zhao Yanxun asked again: "Who is responsible for collecting grain and how?"

Seeing Zhang Meng's questioning gaze, Ma Yi had no choice but to answer: "The governor has issued a military order, and only let us obey the orders of the chief envoy's yamen!"

Regarding the matter of dispatching troops and collecting food, the Ministry of War had handed over the documents before, and Zhao Yanxun had an impression.

He was afraid that, in order to save trouble, those civil servants would directly throw the matter of food collection to the army.

Relatively speaking, the army acts more violently, which is likely to lead to chaos.

Zhao Yanxun had no more questions, so Ma Yi turned his mind back to Zhang Meng.

When he came to a barracks, Ma Yi said apologetically, "I'm on a business trip, the place is so poor, don't take it for granted!"

"Hurry up and send someone to tidy up the inside and replace it with brand new bedding!"

"Yes!"

After Baibaihu took the order, he immediately left to find someone.

Glancing at Ma Yi who was still in place, Zhang Meng said: "Ma Qianhu, you go, we still have something to discuss!"

This group of people made Ma Yi feel very strange.

It doesn't seem like a bad thing to have less contact with these things, and it's dangerous to know what you shouldn't know.

"The humble job won't bother you!"

Together with Zhang Meng, Zhao Yanxun wandered around the camp, mainly to see the protection situation here, as well as the mental outlook and equipment of the soldiers.

After looking around, Zhao Yanxun was barely satisfied.

Compared with the previous Guards Army, they have all changed a lot.

As night fell, it was time to eat.

"One two one..."

"One two one..."

In the barracks, Zhao Yanxun walked out of the room when he heard the sound of the trumpet outside.

On the school grounds, the remaining soldiers had been recruited and were heading to the cafeteria led by Baihu.

This was an impossible situation in the previous Guards Army.

Not to mention the integration of officers and soldiers, it is extremely rare for soldiers to be able to eat enough.

"Stand...fix!"

The footsteps stopped abruptly, and the phalanx stopped outside the dining hall.

"His Majesty the Emperor, long live!"

With a shout from Baihu, the soldiers on the scene shouted in unison: "His Majesty the Emperor, long live!"

Judging from their uniformity, Zhao Yanxun judged that this ceremony had lasted for a long time, and it was not just for these "imperial envoys" to watch.

Today, the guards of all capitals in the world are under the unified management of the Privy Council, and uniform training rules are implemented throughout the country.

Next, the soldiers entered the dining hall one after another, and Qianhu Ma Yi also greeted Zhao Yanxun and the others.

"Everyone on business, the conditions tonight are simple, only rice and pickles, plus scrambled eggs and stewed pork, don't dislike it!"

"Ok!"

Zhang Meng responded, and then followed the crowd into the house.

There are more than a dozen long tables inside, and the soldiers are already receiving their meals one after another, and then enter their seats one by one.

As for Zhao Yanxun and his party, they were assigned a separate table, and they were the only ones who added two additional dishes.
"Master Zhang, it's too crowded here, find a seat next to the humble job!"

Zhao Yanxun's words made Zhang Meng slightly stunned, and then he nodded.

Ma Yi didn't say much about this, he just said that this young man didn't fit in.

Everyone started to eat, while Zhao Yanxun sat with the soldiers.

In front of him was white rice covered with chopped pickles, the same way the other soldiers ate it.

"Brother, you Qianhu usually eat scrambled eggs and stewed meat?" Zhao Yanxun asked the person beside him.

"No, since the current emperor, Qianhu and the others have become just like us!"

"I made these two dishes today to entertain you!"

Zhao Yanxun asked with a smile: "But we can add food, will you be angry?"

Seeing that he is easier to get along with, since the surroundings have gradually let go of their guard.

"This is much better than before, at least I can eat enough now!"

"Yes, everyone said that the current emperor is a good emperor, much better than the previous one!"

Hearing these people praise him, Zhao Yanxun smiled even more, this is the lowest and most authentic voice.

Zhao Yanxun asked again: "Usually, do you want to train soldiers?"

"Practice at least half a day every day, and work the rest of the time!"

The local guards have their own special fields and can provide most of the military supplies by themselves.

In the past, these military rations were all corrupted, and the low-level military officers still had nothing to pay, and tried every means to ask the court for money.

After Jing Nan, all the troops were rebuilt, shattering the interest groups underneath, and revitalizing the Guards Army.

"What do you usually practice?"

Next, Zhao Yanxun kept asking questions, and gained a clearer understanding of the grassroots guards.

On the other side, Ma Yi tried every means to curry favor with Zhang Meng, but only returned him with a cold face.

After a meal, the soldiers left one after another, and Zhao Yanxun and his party also returned to the barracks.

Early the next morning, troops began to assemble outside, and then the sound of "humming" training sounded.

Zhao Yanxun and his entourage got up immediately, and when they went out, they saw the soldiers practicing boxing on the school field, shouting.

"It's not bad!" Zhao Yanxun praised.

Seeing them coming out, Qianhu Ma Yi immediately went up to them.

I only heard Qianhu say: "All of you are on business, and we will have dinner in half an hour!"

After receiving Zhao Yanxun's instruction in advance, Zhang Meng said, "We still have important things to do, so we won't have breakfast. Thank you for sleeping in the open...Leave me!"

"Let's eat before we leave!"

"No need!"

"Let's go now?"

"Exactly!"

"The humble job is for you!"

Zhang Meng didn't say much, and the group walked towards the gate of the military village.

After sending Zhang Meng and his party out of the two army camps, watching them walk away along the official road, Ma Yi felt relieved.

"My lord, these people are not simple!"

Hearing the words of his subordinate Baihu, Ma Yi said: "Jin Yiwei, the emperor's close minister, of course it is not easy!"

Baihu went on to say: "My lord, I just reported from the secret sentry that there are at least 90 or [-] people who came with these people and scattered around our barracks!"

Hearing this, Ma Yi was shocked.

Baihu said again: "Last night, these Jinyiwei people also asked about our camp. Do you think these people...would they come after us!"

Ma Yi said with a serious expression: "We have a letter of appointment from the Privy Council, and we have nothing to do with the previous court. Now that we are sitting upright, are we still afraid of their investigation?"

"Your Majesty, Shengming, do they still dare to act recklessly?"

Baihu nodded and said, "But it's also true!"
