Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 147 Entering the camp
In front of the west gate of the capital camp, Jia Qiang is riding a white horse and wearing the official robe of a second-grade military attache.

The sergeant guarding the gate checked Jia Qiang's identity, but his eyes involuntarily drifted to Jia Jingang behind Jia Qiang.

The image of Jia Jingang was really too terrifying. They felt that letting such a person into the military camp would put the military camp in danger.

We can't blame them, Jia Jingang is riding a high-quality shire horse with the River Suppressing Sword on his shoulder.

A good quality Sharma horse is much taller than an ordinary war horse, and its body width is even more obvious.

Coupled with Jia Jinguang's height of 2.2 meters and the river-suppressing sword of 7.5 meters long, an indescribable sense of coercion emanates from him.

"Commander Zang Feiyu has met Mr. Jia!"

"Commander of the Guard Wu Zicang has met Mr. Jia!"

The two armored generals came out of the military camp quickly. When they saw Jia Qiang, they quickly stepped forward and knelt on the ground to salute.

Jia Qiang looked at the two guard commanders. The guard commanders were the commanders of the first guard, each commanding five thousand sergeants.

The drums for gathering troops have a special rhythm. No matter what they are doing, the sergeants in the camp must come as soon as they hear the drums.

This made Commander Wu Zicangwei a little confused, but he had nothing to do. The main reason was that the training time was too short.

"Take me into the camp and beat the drums to gather the troops!" Jia Qiang ordered in a deep voice.

These sergeants are all veterans of Zang Feiyu Guard Commander. In contrast, they are new recruits of Wu Zicang Guard Commander.

The Zhenhe Sword weighs three thousand kilograms and is inserted into the ground. It does not have the strength to exceed four thousand kilograms and cannot be pulled out from the ground.

As soon as we entered the military camp, we saw a piece of grassland, which is the training ground of the main camp. Further inside are the central military tents and the various tents of the camps.

There was a big fight at the camp gate, and the two guard commanders walked into the west camp with Jia Qiang in front.

Jia Qiang and the two guard commanders stood on the command platform in front of the training ground, waiting for the arrival of the sergeants.

Of course, officers at all levels have made explanations for this. No one wants to lose Jia Qiang's face when Jia Qiang takes office as a new official. That is definitely an act of seeking death.

Jia Qiang's words made the two guard commanders Zang Feiyu and Wu Zicang's eyes light up. Although Jia Qiang could not decide on the position of deputy commander, these words were spoken by Jia Qiang in public. If someone did it, Jia Qiang would not be able to stay in the capital camp at all.

The two guard commanders stood up and looked at Jia Qiang.

Jia Qiang looked at Jia Jinjiang and nodded to Jia Jinjiang.

A heart-wrenching sound came from the ground, and the seven-and-a-half-meter river-suppressing sword was inserted into the ground nearly one meter deep.

The West Camp was established near the west gate of the capital and was a permanent military camp.

Jia Qiang glanced at the strong man and couldn't help but shake her head. This strong man was just born with a strong body and had never practiced the art of general body refining. Even if he had some talent in strength, he could not exceed the limits of human beings.

He had just seen it, and the two guards commanders were only rank four warriors, not as strong as a thousand pounds.

Those who do not have enough time for a stick of incense will be beheaded on the spot. This is the military rule.

"Quiet!" Jia Qiang shouted in a deep voice.

"Whoever can pull out this sword will be recommended by me to take over my position!" Jia Qiang said lightly.

Commander Zang Fei Yuwei looked at the arriving sergeants with a smile. The first arriving sergeants were obviously well-trained and came from all over the camp in the form of a hundred-man team.

However, although they had complaints in their hearts, they could not express them.

"Get up!" Jia Qiang waved her hand and said.

It seems complicated, but not chaotic.

Fortunately, chaos returned to chaos, but these recruits still knew the limit of one stick of incense time, and they all arrived at the training ground in time.

It was even more noisy when standing on the teaching field, and many recruits couldn't find their place.

His voice sounded like thunder in the ears of ten thousand sergeants, causing all the sergeants to fall silent.

"My name is Jia Qiang, and I am the deputy commander of the Jingying camp. From now on, you two guards will belong to me!" Jia Qiang continued to introduce. He looked at the 10,000 sergeants and said: "I am very disappointed. The Jingying camp is the most elite in the army. Sergeant, but that’s not what I saw!”

The strong man came to the Zhenhe Sword. He dared to come out and was somewhat confident.

The two guard commanders quickly issued orders to the soldiers beside them, and the two soldiers ran back to the camp first.

But look at the Jia Qiang in front of her. Although she is very tall, she looks like a frail scholar. How can she become the deputy commander of the second rank, and the commander of the two of them.

What can intimidate these sergeants is unparalleled strength.

"Dong dong dong", bursts of drum sounds sounded.

They are all fourth-level warriors, and they can become full-level third-level guard commanders only after many years of hard work, and they have achieved this step through their achievements in Daqianbianguan.

Some of the new recruits came in teams of ten, and some even came alone.

After hearing his words, many sergeants showed dissatisfaction on their faces.

Jia Jingang got off the good-quality Sharma horse, took off the river-suppressing sword from his shoulder, walked to the command platform and thrust the river-suppressing sword into the ground.

They temporarily changed defenses, and the new guards and the first old guards were transferred over, took over the West Camp, and accepted the command of Jia Qiang, the new deputy commander of the Beijing Camp.

Some are dissatisfied with Jia Qiang's age, and some are dissatisfied with his contempt for Jingying.

The new soldiers are all newly recruited from top to bottom. Even if he has a lot of training experience, he cannot become a veteran in such a short period of time.

It's just that the two of them didn't take action immediately. Let's wait and see what the other sergeants do.

"I'm coming!" A two-meter-tall strong man walked out of the army.

In his opinion, the Zhenhe Sword should be an empty thing inside. How could such a big solid sword be picked up with one hand by its weight?

He gave Jia Qiang a contemptuous look, his eyes conveying that he had seen through your trick.

He grabbed the sword body of Zhenhe Sword with one hand and found that what he was facing did not look like a sword, but a huge stone, and it was also a huge stone connected to the mountain.

His face turned red due to the excessive exertion, but no matter how hard he exerted himself, the river-suppressing sword would not move at all.

Even with his whole body hanging on the River Suppressing Sword, he still couldn't make the River Suppressing Sword move at all.

"Coax", all the sergeants laughed, they were all amused by the strong man.

The strong man walked back to the team with a red face. His attempt failed.

Then several more sergeants left the field, including a third-level warrior, but the result was no different from the first strong man.

Zang Feiyu and Wu Zicang looked at each other, doubts flashing in their eyes. They did not believe that the River Suppressing Sword was really that heavy.

"Master Jia, I wonder if we can try it?" Commander Zang Fei Yu Wei bowed and asked. Although Commander Wu Zicang Wei did not speak, he also bowed and saluted. "You guys come up and give it a try!" Jia Qiang waved her hand indifferently and said.

Zang Feiyu and Wu Zicang stepped forward together. They apologized for a while, and finally Zang Feiyuwei commanded the envoy to take action first.

The muscles on Commander Zang Fei Yuwei's body suddenly swelled, and the armor all over his body was filled with muscles, making him look even more horrified.

He came to the river-suppressing sword and placed his hands on the river-suppressing sword.

"Hey!" As soon as his hand touched the Zhenhe Sword, he felt something was wrong.

The Zhenhe Sword does not feel like it is empty. He exerts all his strength, and all the power of the fourth-turn warrior is applied to the Zhenhe Sword. If the Zhenhe Sword is placed on the ground, it may be able to make the Zhenhe Sword move slightly. A move.

But with the river-suppressing sword inserted into the ground, his strength was simply not enough.

Commander Wu Zicang Guard saw that Commander Zang Feiyu couldn't shake the River Suppressing Sword, so he joined in without thinking too much.

He and Commander Zang Feiyuwei worked together, but the results were the same.

The Zhenhe Sword is like Sun Wukong's golden cudgel, not something that mortals can move.

"Master Jia, this subordinate has really made a fool of himself!" Commander Wu Zicangwei said with a sneer as he returned to his original position.

Commander Zang Fei Yuwei lowered his head, with a look of dissatisfaction still shining in his eyes. No matter how heavy the river-suppressing sword was, it was not Jia Qiang's weapon.

Jia Qiang smiled and walked down from the podium to the Zhenhe Sword.

More than four thousand kilograms of power exploded, and the Zhenhe Sword was pulled out of the ground bit by bit.

During this process, Jia Qiang looked effortless on the outside, but in fact, he had already performed a 'Healing Technique [Advanced]' for himself to keep himself in the best condition.

Because he exerted all his strength, his physical strength was very high, and the 'Healing Technique [Advanced]' kept his physical strength full.

He pulled the River Suppressing Sword out of the ground. He threw the River Suppressing Sword to Jia Jinguang. Jia Jinguang caught it with one hand and did a sword show in the air before carrying the River Suppressing Sword on his shoulder.

The whole teaching ground was quiet. After verification by many people, all the sergeants guessed that the weight of Zhenhe Sword must be extremely shocking.

But Jia Qiang easily pulled out the River Suppressing Sword and threw the River Suppressing Sword back to Jia Jinjiang lightly.

In contrast, there were the two guards commanders and the sergeants who tried to come forward.

Fanaticism flashed in the eyes of all the sergeants. The army worshiped the strong, so Jia Qiang's strength was the easiest to win the hearts of the army.

Jia Qiang didn't say much. After winning over the troops, she and the two guards commanders came to the central military tent.

"The training plan of the two guards has changed. Commander Zang will carry out your training as usual. Commander Wu, the new army you will lead will follow my new training plan!" Jia Qiang took out the prepared training plan and said.

Before Jia Qiang showed off his strength, Wu Zicangwei commander would definitely have something to say about changing the training plan. The training plan was an old practice in the Beijing camp and was a summary of the experience of generations of generals. How could it be changed at the drop of a hat?

But the current Commander Wu Zicangwei honestly took over the training plan. The training plan in his hands was written by a super strong man himself. How could there be any problem?

"By the way, does the army have enough food and grass?" Jia Qiang thought of the military training and couldn't help but ask.

The food and grass during military training are different from the food and grass in normal times.

Military training requires all sergeants to practice diligently every day, which consumes a lot of physical energy. If the food and grass cannot keep up, let alone people, even war horses cannot bear it.

Therefore, each army will only conduct military training when there is sufficient food and grass every year, which usually takes place every three or even five days.

"A batch of food and grass has been sent, which can guarantee the training of troops for one month. Subsequent food and grass will be sent, which is said to last for at least half a year!" Zang Feiyuwei Commander bowed and replied.

Jia Qiang nodded. Although he had money, he could not use it to supplement the army.

If these 10,000 soldiers were in a remote place, it would not be a big deal for him to subsidize them privately.

But in the capital, if he really uses his own money to supplement the army, he will definitely be impeached by the officials in the court and accused of bribery of the army and evil intentions.

Half a year of military training was enough. It was probably because he brought back a lot of money that Emperor Jingwen was willing to do this.

"Get the roster among the generals!" Jia Qiang ordered again.

The two guard commanders were well prepared and each took out a roster.

Jia Qiang opened the roster and checked the situation of the two guards.

He heard that there were vacancies in the army, but looking at the roster, it was full.

Then he saw the number of horses and cavalry. The cavalry of the two guards combined had three thousand cavalry, one thousand archers, and the rest were infantry.

"Is the roster comparable to the sergeants?" Jia Qiang pondered for a moment and asked.

"Sir, there is no such thing as free pay in the Beijing camp!" Commander Zang Fei Yuwei quickly bowed and explained.

Jia Qiang nodded, thinking that there were a total of 40,000 people in the Beijing camp, plus the newly added guard, it was only 45,000 people, the army guarding the palace.

If there were empty pay in the capital camp, then Daqian's army would probably be in ruins.

"There is no free pay in the Beijing camp, so there are free pay for the armies in other places?" Jia Qiang suddenly thought of something in Commander Zang Feiyuwei's words, and then asked.

"The issue of free pay is a rule in the military. Generally, it is normal to have one free pay, but I heard that the army in many places has 20-30% free pay!" Commander Zang Feiyuwei did not hide anything and replied truthfully.

There is no need to hide this kind of thing. As long as you stay in the military for a period of time, you will naturally know it.

Many of the soldiers in the Beijing camp were transferred from various places, and you can hear these things from the mouths of these sergeants.

"The number of cavalry is too small. In the training plan, all sergeants must practice riding skills!" Jia Qiang knocked on the table in front of her and said.

He doesn't care about other Beijing camps. These 10,000 Beijing camps are under his control.

There are only ten thousand people in total. In this era, only the cavalry is the strongest.

Although there are artillery now, starting from the artillery range, if the cavalry really launches a charge, it is difficult for the heavy artillery to cause any significant damage to the charging cavalry.

On the contrary, the infantry is different. Artillery can continuously bombard the infantry.

In addition, cavalry can also dismount and fight, it just requires more training.

"But we only have a total of three thousand war horses. It is impossible for all the sergeants to practice riding skills!" Wu Zicangwei Commander expressed the difficulty.

"We'll talk about the war horses later. We'll use three thousand war horses to train all the sergeants' riding skills in turn!" Jia Qiang said in a deep voice without explaining too much.

He has decided that he will go to the palace to ask for a war horse after a while.

Although there are not many war horses in Daqian, as long as there is money, Daqian merchants can bring back war horses from far away.

It just so happens that Emperor Jingwen has the most money at the moment. If we don't make the request now when Emperor Jingwen has the money, why don't we wait until the money in Emperor Jingwen's hand is used up?
