my wife is mulan

The other two supply camps were dirty and messy, the smell was suffocating, animal feces were everywhere, and even the tents were in dilapidated condition.

Crooked, totally out of order.

However, what I saw in the Huaishuo Town supply camp was completely different. First of all, the camp was clean and tidy, with no livestock feces or other dirty things on the ground. Everything is clear and orderly.

Not counting the soldiers who were practicing on the school grounds, the other soldiers walked with a straight line, their military appearances were strict, and the sentries all stood up with their chests upright, and the soldiers of the law enforcement patrol stood in a long line with weapons in their hands and walked in neat steps.

Tuoba Tao watched while walking, and shouted: "Zhao Junsheng!"

Zhao Junsheng, who was not qualified to walk in front, was at the back talking to Hua Mulan in a low voice, when he heard the emperor's voice, he ran over and promised loudly, "Yes!"

Tuoba Tao stopped and looked at Zhao Junsheng, "You can call yourself a minister!"

"This... This subordinate comes from a humble background, a small official and a humble position, and a small captain can't get on the stage. It seems inappropriate to call himself a minister!" Zhao Junsheng hesitated and said.He knew very well that Tuoba Tao, this young emperor actually attached great importance to family background like many people in this era, so it is better to be more cautious in front of this person.

In fact, there was insinuation in his words, and he seemed to be distanced from the emperor intentionally or unintentionally, but Tuoba Tao didn't hear it, he thought for a while and said: "What you said is somewhat reasonable, but from your point of view From the situation in the camp, it can be seen that your soldiers and horse camps are well organized!"

Not only is it good, An Yuan, Pi Baozi, Tuoba Jian and others felt a little ashamed when they saw the situation of this supply camp, especially An Yuan, he is also the person who has been in command of the army all the year round, but he has never organized the barracks in such an orderly manner .

At this time, Zong An said beside him: "Your Majesty, you can see that these soldiers on the school field are uniformly drilled, with a majestic momentum and a high momentum, and look at the spirit of these soldiers, compared with the soldiers and horses of the Youwei Army, Huaishuo Town and Woye Town Don't give up too much!"

Chapter 272

There is no need for Zong Ai to remind, other people present, including Tuoba Tao, have discovered that the soldiers of the Huaishuo Town Supply Battalion are really in good spirits, not worse than the soldiers and horses of the three major battalions.

If you really want to make a comparison, there is a difference. Tuoba Tao found that the soldiers and horses of the Right Guard Army have been fighting all year round, and they have a fierce spirit; The soldiers of the battalion carried a mighty aura, and he saw military might in them.

Looking again, Tuoba Tao found that these heavy soldiers were very different from the right guards and Woye town heavy soldiers. The heavy soldiers of those two battalions were all sallow and emaciated, and there were not many strong people. The soldiers of this supply battalion were all strong and strong.

Tuobatao asked: "Zhao Junsheng, why are the soldiers from Youwei Army and Woye Town so skinny and skinny, while your soldiers are so strong?"

Zhao Junsheng clasped his fists and replied: "Your Majesty, if you want to make the soldiers strong, there is no other way except to drill them and make them eat and drink enough! If you are as skinny as a stick, you must not have had enough to eat, if you have had enough to eat, how can everyone be sallow and emaciated?"

Tuoba Tao couldn't help looking at An Yuan, hoping he would give an explanation.

An Yuan quickly said: "Your Majesty, since the heavy soldiers are not combat soldiers, they don't need to undertake combat missions, so they don't need to practice too much. The food and grass rations given by the court are limited!"

Tuoba Tao also understood that such an arrangement by the relevant yamen of the imperial court must be justified. He asked Zhao Junsheng: "So all the soldiers in your supply battalion can have enough food?"

"It can't be said that everyone is full, but at least no one will go hungry!" Zhao Junsheng replied very modestly.

Tuoba Tao was puzzled: "Then I don't understand, why don't your soldiers go hungry, while other supply battalion soldiers do?"

Zhao Junsheng replied: "Your Majesty, the rations given to me by the top are the same. If we don't think about it, we won't be able to eat enough! After all, people are alive, and we can't just starve and remain indifferent. We raise some by ourselves." Animals such as chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep add meat to the soldiers. On weekdays, people are sent out to the river and lake to fish, and these fish are used to exchange food with other friendly troops. In addition, every time we go to Shanwu County to escort food and supplies , by the way, bring back some daily necessities that the soldiers like, sell them to earn some money, and then use the money to buy food, and so on, it can barely keep the soldiers from starving!"

Tuoba Tao was speechless for a while, he had to admit that Zhao Junsheng was really talented, how many supply camps were there in the whole Northern Wei Dynasty?He Tuoba Tao is not very clear, but he knows that there has never been a captain of the supply battalion who is as willing to use his brain as Zhao Junsheng.

At this time, Zong Ai said again in a timely manner: "Your Majesty, this servant only knows today what the meaning of 'comparing people with others is to die, and goods are to be thrown away'!"

As soon as these words were said, Zong Ai offended a large number of people. An Yuan, Tuoba Jian, Pi Baozi, He Guli and other generals all lost their faces, and they all cursed Zong Ai, the damn eunuch. The goods are simply gossiping, and the eunuchs really don't have a good thing.

Zong Ai didn't care that these people wanted to catch his gaze, he continued: "Your Majesty, I feel that the matter of food and supplies in the army is a big deal, if the supplies of food and supplies cannot be supplied in time, the soldiers and horses of the army will surely lose their morale The guards and the soldiers of the supply battalion in Woye Town are all yellow, thin, and lazy. If they are attacked by Rouran cavalry on the way to escort food and supplies, wouldn't they be helpless? Or in bad weather, the soldiers Everyone can't bear hardships and grit their teeth to persevere, and if they can't transport the grain and grass back in time, it will inevitably lead to riots. If this kind of thing happens, the consequences are really unpredictable!"

Although there is a rule that eunuchs can't interfere in politics, Tuoba Tao has great trust in Zong Ai, and he didn't reprimand and punish him because he interrupted without permission. Instead, he felt that what Zong Ai said was reasonable, and asked: "Xiao Ai, how do you think we should deal with it?" ?”

Zhao Junsheng who was standing next to him couldn't help but shuddered when he heard the name "Xiao Ai", goose bumps all over his body.

Others also showed strange expressions when they heard this name.

Zong Ai is right

This address seems to be used to it. It seems that the emperor often called him this. He leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, this servant thinks that professional people should be allowed to do professional things!"

Zong Ai didn't say the specific method, but he came up with a train of thought. Tuoba Tao made a decision after a little thought. The Jinling Camp is extremely important until next summer at least. The seemingly marginalized military establishment, in fact, its role cannot be ignored at all.

After thinking for a long time, Tuobatao looked seriously at Zhao Junsheng, then at Anyuan, and directly issued an order: "Temporarily withdraw the three army battalions of Youwei Army, Huaishuo Town and Woye Town separately! Zhao Junsheng, I will call you Jinling The capital of the big battalion is in charge of the three battalions of heavy troops, and the governor Jinling Daying's food, grass and logistics affairs are directly under the jurisdiction of General Anyuan!"

Zhao Junsheng saw that Zong Ai was gesturing to him to take over the order. He thought for a while, this is just a hard job for him, and the official position is only a temporary one. Well, wouldn't it be trouble for yourself to take them over?

But it’s not enough if you don’t accept the order. The Northern Wei Dynasty is not the Song Dynasty. During the Song Dynasty, people often refused the emperor’s appointment. If they didn’t serve them, the emperor really couldn’t force others to be officials. But this is the Northern Wei Dynasty. Try it if you don’t accept the order?That is contempt for imperial power!If you don't do it, you have to do it!

Zhao Junsheng had no choice but to bow his fists and agree: "Observe the order!"

Tuoba Tao and his party walked around the camp and left. Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan followed behind them. It was not until the emperor left the Jinling camp that he was relieved. Fortunately, Tuoba Tao and others were not there. Otherwise, the blacksmith shop and tailor shop, the two workshops for forging weapons and armor, will be discovered. Although it can be said that they are used to repair weapons and armor, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

There is also the Modao team. Fortunately, some soldiers reported to him in time at that time, allowing him time to hide the Modao team, so that Tuoba Tao and others did not find out.

"Brother Junsheng, I heard that the two supply battalions of the Youwei Army and the Woye Army are in terrible condition, how do you plan to manage them?" Hua Mulan asked on the way back to the camp after sending the emperor and his party away.

Zhao Junsheng shook his head and said, "This is so sudden, I haven't thought it through yet! Liu Chang, the captain of the Woye Army's supply camp, and Qu Jin, the captain of the Right Guards' supply camp, do you think they will really listen to me? Although these two battalions They were all individually assigned to my jurisdiction, but Liu Chang will only listen to Tuoba Jian, and Qu Jin will only listen to Yongchang King Tuoba Jian, and the only thing I can manage in the end is the heavy supply camp in Huaishuo Town!"

Zhao Junsheng decided to wait and see the changes for the time being, to see how Liu Chang and Qu Jin reacted, and then make further calculations.

Letting go of this matter first, Zhao Junsheng remembered that the riding competition seemed to be over, so he asked Lu Xuanbo: "Old Lu, do you know who is the final winner of the riding competition?"

Lu Xuanbo held his sword in his arms and replied: "I just heard someone say that it is Bu Liuguli, the general of the Right Guard Army!"

Zhao Junsheng was puzzled: "He? Bu Liuguli has such a great ability?"

Hua Mulan said next to him: "It's not surprising that Buliuguli won No.1. He and Babakang are both very strong in riding and fighting! Last time my horse was fed croton and couldn't fight again, but If I were to face Babakang and Buliuguli head-on, I wouldn't be sure to win them!"

Lu Xuanbo looked back and forth, and said to Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan in a low voice: "It seems that the fifth princess did not go with the emperor, but stayed. I received news that the emperor agreed to let her stay. There is a limit of one year, when the time comes, the emperor will personally assess her, if the emperor is satisfied, the emperor will let her stay in the army to lead the army, if not, he will go back to the palace with the emperor!"

Zhao Junsheng couldn't bear the news the most. He was afraid that the fifth princess would pester him. As long as she came, Mulan would think wildly when she found out. He didn't want to make Mulan sad.

Hua Mulan looked at Zhao Junsheng's expression, and chuckled, "Brother Junsheng, why do you have such an expression? Don't worry, if she goes looking for you, just keep your distance from her, and I won't be jealous!"

Zhao Junsheng murmured in his heart, it would be strange to believe you!Women always say one thing with their mouths, but they often think the opposite in their hearts.

"What I said is true, okay?" Hua Mulan added seriously.

Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "I don't believe it!"

"Believe it or not!" Hua Mulan felt sweet in her heart when she said this, and she changed the subject: "Brother Junsheng, I will teach you a way to clean up the Woye and Youwei baggage camps!"

Zhao Junsheng became interested, "What's the way, tell me!"

Hua Mulan immediately gave him an idea: "Aren't you good at pretending to be pitiful? You go to Marshal An and cry, saying that Liu Chang and Qu Jin are disobedient, you can't control them, and dismiss this official position! Commander-in-Chief will definitely not allow you to resign from the official position, and then you propose to take over the appointment and dismissal of the two battalions, and Commander-in-Chief An will most likely agree to appease you!"

Zhao Junsheng curled his lips: "Why are you so good at pretending to be pitiful? Look at you talking about your husband-in-law like this! Is this a strategy for me to do things? But you said that this method is indeed a good one, let's not Wait for Liu Chang and Qu Jin to react, and take the initiative to attack first, holding the initiative in your hands is better than anything else!"

In the morning of the next day, Zhao Junsheng sent someone to call Liu Chang, the captain of the garrison supply battalion in Woye Town, and Qu Jin, the captain of the Youwei supply battalion.

These two people came late, and the people who went to inform had returned for half an hour, and these two came slowly one after the other.

"Subordinate Liu Chang [Qu Jin] has met Du Tong!"

Zhao Junsheng seemed very enthusiastic, and he invited them to sit down and served tea, which made Liu Chang and Qu Jin a little bit at a loss.
