Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 1375 Return with a rewarding experience

   "Nephew, there are a batch of obsolete armaments in our army, all of which are worthy of use. If you don't mind my nephew, you can take them."

  Marquis Linhuai was very satisfied with Zhu Pingan's suggestion. Considering that Zhu Pingan was in charge of reorganizing the military equipment, and the rations he had just received from the Ministry of War were not sufficient, in order to thank Zhu Pingan, he said that he had a batch of eliminated military equipment in his army to support.

   "Thank you uncle for your support." How could Zhu Ping'an refuse, and immediately handed over his hands to thank Linhuaihou.

   "Nephew, you are being polite. There is also the thief. Uncle will come to the door another day. Apart from embarrassing his old face, he will definitely get some benefits for the nephew." Marquis Linhuai smiled slightly, and expressed his position again.

   "It's an honor for Wei Guogong to accept Ping'an's suggestion. How dare you ask for benefits." Zhu Pingan shook his head with a smile.

   "Nephew, you are too kind. You don't care. Uncle has made the decision for you." Marquis Linhuai waved his hand.

   Well, you are an elder, I can't say no to you. Zhu Pingan smiled wryly on his face and applauded warmly in his heart.

  The two agreed that tomorrow morning, Zhu Ping'an would take people to the Linhuaihou camp to receive the eliminated military equipment. Then, the two parted. The Marquis of Linhuai was in a hurry to go back to write the memorial, his fat body walked like flying.

On the morning of the second day, Zhu Pingan took Liu Dadao and others with him, and recruited ten servants from the Chasi Yamen, rented twenty carriages, and went to Cao Jiangshui, which was led by the Marquis of Linhuai. military camp.

   "Fifth uncle, you are here, the master is waiting for you in the camp."

  The butler, Li Er, was waiting outside the camp. When he saw Zhu Ping'an from a distance, he came up to meet him.

   "I'm sorry butler Li is waiting outside the camp." Zhu Pingan greeted Li Er with a smile.

   "Master, you are welcome, please." Li Er smiled brightly, leading Zhu Ping'an and his party to the barracks.

  While moving forward, Zhu Pingan observed the Marquis of Linhuai barracks. The barracks were stationed at the mouth of the river, half on the river surface and half on the river bank, stretching for miles. The outermost perimeter of the camp was antlers, and a fence was erected behind the antlers to enclose the camp.

  The Marquis of Linhuai's military camp was well organized, but it also had its shortcomings. The camp was set up in one place, so it was easy to be dumped. General prudent generals will set up their camps in two or three places. The two camps form a corner, and the two camps support each other. When one camp is attacked, the other camp can go to support; If one camp is under attack, two camps can go to support, and the three camps cooperate with each other.

   "Mr. Li please"

There was a team of eight guards on duty outside the gate of the camp. They saw Li Er leading Zhu Ping'an and his party. The guards on duty all knew Li Er and rushed to say hello to Li Er. But he opened the gate of the camp without asking, and invited Li Er and Zhu Ping'an to enter the barracks.

   Without verifying and checking your identity, you open the gate and invite yourself in.

  Military discipline is bad.

  Seeing the whole leopard at a glance, seeing the scene in front of the gate, Zhu Pingan couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

  Military discipline is not strict, and the level of military governance is not optimistic. Zhu Pingan expressed concern about the level of military governance of Linhuaihou.

Sure enough, when Zhu Pingan entered the barracks, he found that the tents in the camp were quite orderly, but the soldiers were not disciplined. The soldiers who were training in the field were loose and loose, while the soldiers who were not training were walking around between the tents at random, or in groups of three or four. Sitting on the ground, swaying here and there, there are even a few open spaces surrounded by many people, and the noise spread far away, as if they were gambling with dice.

  Li Er led Zhu Ping'an and his party all the way to the front of Linhuaihou's commander's tent, and was blocked by his own soldiers only 30 meters in front of the commander's tent.

   "Butler Li, who are they?!" A group of soldiers stepped forward and asked.

"Baldy Li, you are so blind, even the fifth uncle dares to stop you. This is the fifth uncle in our house, the number one scholar of the dynasty, and now he is the fifth-rank Jiangsu and Zhejiang prisons, the inspector, the inspector, the inspector, Zhu Pingan, Mr. Zhu, Responsible for rearranging the military equipment and leading the militia regiment. The master invited my uncle to come to the camp to collect the military equipment that we eliminated, and assist my uncle in organizing the military equipment of the militia." Li Er stepped forward and cursed, and introduced Zhu Pingan to them.

"It turned out to be my uncle. The younger ones don't know Taishan. Forgive me, my uncle. Let's go and report to the master." Li Baldzi and other soldiers immediately became enthusiastic, and sent someone to report to the handsome account, and helped push the carriage. .

   "Hehe, nephew, you are here." After receiving the report, Marquis Linhuai greeted him out of the tent with a smile on his face.

   "Uncle." Zhu Pingan bowed his hands in salute.

"Come on, quickly enter the tent, drink a cup of hot tea, and warm yourself up." Marquis Linhuai smiled and led Zhu Pingan into the tent. The people brought by my nephew have all greeted me."

  Zhu Pingan stepped into the tent, Linhuai Hou poured Zhu Pingan a cup of tea, and hurriedly brought a memorial to Zhu Pingan.

   "Nephew, do you think it's okay for me to play like this?" Linhuaihou asked.

Zhu Pingan took the memorial and read it carefully. The content was almost exactly the same as his own suggestion, there was no problem with the choice of words and sentences, and there was nothing inappropriate in it, so he nodded, "Uncle, the content of the memorial is not inappropriate. After uncle's polishing, This memorial is more feasible, great good."

   "Nephew, can you sign your name?" Marquis Linhuai asked.

  Zhu Pingan shook his head, "Uncle, I'd better avoid suspicion."

   "Okay." Marquis Linhuai nodded, so he signed and stamped it, and ordered it to be urgently sent to the Secretary of General Administration of the capital, and at the same time to reveal the post and send it to the cabinet.

  After finishing the work, the Marquis of Linhuai called the quartermaster, and took Zhu Ping'an and his party to the barracks warehouse to collect the obsolete armaments.

The quartermaster opened a warehouse, pointed to the messy piles of military uniforms inside, and said to Zhu Pingan, "Master Zhu, there are more than 1,200 obsolete military uniforms in this warehouse, all of which are ordinary military uniforms. use."

  Zhu Pingan observed closely and nodded. These military uniforms were all changed, and they were basically in good condition.

   "Do you have armor?" Zhu Pingan asked.

   "There is armor, but it's just." The quartermaster hesitated to speak.

   "Nephew, it's not that I won't give you the armor, but the armor is old armor that was forged before, and the maintenance is not good." Linhuaihou explained.

Sure enough, when the quartermaster opened a warehouse where the armor was stored, a musty smell came out from it. The armor inside was all rusty and tattered, almost none of the armor was complete, and almost every armor leaf had There are many holes. This kind of armor is so rotten that it's just a burden to wear, and it can't protect the body at all, so it was abandoned by the Marquis of Linhuai and their military camp like worn-out shoes, and they were still worn out in the warehouse

  However, rotten armor is still armor, and it can be recycled as scrap iron after being pulled back. It is also possible to forge weapons and armor.

  Zhu Ping'an also opened his mouth and begged for all these tattered armors.

  Then, the quartermaster opened several warehouses, from which Zhu Pingan received 600 spears, 500 swords and 200 longbows. To Zhu Ping'an's delight, he also found three hundred firecrackers in a corner of a warehouse.

   "Oh, these fire sticks are not suitable for our navy. Not to mention the trouble of loading, they will become dumb when the tide floods. It is worse than the bow and arrow contract."

  Marquis Linhuai disdained fire guns very much.

  It is a waste of money to have a firearm and not use it! Seeing this, Zhu Pingan unceremoniously begged for the three hundred firecrackers.

   This trip was rewarding.
