Chapter 94 Armor

Qin Zhao verified the defense of the Xiapai Pass at the gate of the Biaojun camp and entered the central army's tent.

The Qianmao who led the way did not say a word to Qin Zhao. After all, he, a powerful figure in the Qianmao Army, was the commander of the third-rank guard, and he was really not interested in talking to a small fifth-rank Qianhu.

As soon as Qin Zhao entered the central army's tent, he heard someone shouting in the middle of the tent: "The soldiers from eastern Guangdong are here!"

Everyone turned around and looked at Qin Zhao.

Mr. Qian, who led the way, finally spoke and whispered to Qin Zhao: "The person who spoke was Yuan Jixian, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War and the right assistant censor, the governor of Jiangxi, Huguang, Anqing, Yingtian and other military affairs. The big general in the python uniform on the left of the master was the prince's tutor, the general of Wuchang, the general of the thief, and the marquis Zuo Liangyu, the marquis of Ningnan."

Yuan Jixian sat directly above the tent, a thin middle-aged man with a short trunk. He had two beards on his lips, but no beard on his chin.

Unlike other generals, Zuo Liangyu sat on the left side of Yuan Jixian's lower head. He was wearing a gold embroidered cloud python suit and a towering black gauze hat with gold thread, which looked extremely grand.

However, Zuo Liangyu looked bad, her face turned pale, and there was no luster on her face.

The only two people were sitting in the tent. The other military officers, both wearing mountain armor or fish scale armor, stood on both sides of the tent. Several civil servants stood on the heads of the military officers, and Qin Zhao didn't know who they were.

Before Qin Zhao set off, he asked the blacksmith to build a pair of chain mail for himself, and he felt very majestic when wearing it in his army. Now that he has arrived in front of these big guys, the chain mail is a bit unlucky.

Qin Zhao walked to Yuan Jixian's command and bowed and said, "Guangzhou Prefecture Jinghai Fort defended, and the South China Sea Weiming Jinghai thousands of households, Qin Zhao, pay a visit to the Zhengfu!"

Yuan Jixian smiled and said, "Are you sent by Ding Kuichu?"

Qin Zhao replied honestly: "The mark is the one who came from Ding Kuichu's dispatch of troops."

Yuan Jixian looked at Qin Zhao and said, "You are doing your order. I shouldn't have scolded you at first, but Ding Kuichu is really a bastard. I can't help but scold him!"

Yuan Jixian suddenly raised his tone and cursed: "Each province is helping to guard Wuchang Prefecture. The Mu family in Yunnan sent the local gang general Sha Lianman, Zhejiang sent the gang general He Qiongwen, and even the Fujian general Zheng Zhilong did not make excuses me. He sent the deputy general Zheng Cai. All provinces have dispatched elites, but how stupid is Guangdong governor Ding Kuichu? He actually sent a defensive officer to make up the numbers."

"What do you say to send a thousand households to make up the numbers first, and then send a large army to help the defender."

Hearing Yuan Jixian's words, the generals next to them knew more clearly what was going on.

They were immediately scolded, and they were scolding Ding Kuichu for not being a good person. After all, it was a war at this time, and the ineffective reinforcements sometimes had a fatal impact on the situation. Ding Kuichu did not send elite troops, which hurt the lives and safety of all the reinforcements and guards.

Why can Ding Kuichu take charge of Guangdong but not be able to pull out a strong army? It’s not that the plundering is too fierce and the robbery is too much, and at the critical moment a capable general can’t make a move.

A defensive official could only afford a hundred clans, but this defensive official forced a thousand men to come over. Could it be that he would bring all the flag soldiers and farmers in the Qianhu Station?

Zuo Liangyu waved his python robe, slightly raised his Hetian jade belt, and said slowly: "Qin Zhao from eastern Guangdong, I ask you, how many battles your thousand soldiers have fought?"

Qin Zhao honestly replied: "The soldiers of the officials have never been on the battlefield."

Zuo Liangyu asked again: "How many people in your army wear armor? What kind of armor?"

Qin Zhao was stunned and said, "The officials did not create armor for the soldiers."

A burst of ridicule suddenly came from the surroundings.

"What a powerful soldier sent by Ding Kuichu!"

"At least, we can create fifty chain mail for the powerful servants? No one is wearing armor?"

"I'm really a flag-cooking farmer!"

Zuo Liangyu sighed and stopped talking.

Qin Zhao thought for a while and said, "But a few days ago, someone encountered more than 100 Tangmas who broke into the southwest of Jiayu City. The subordinates killed 107 of them, including heads and horse meat."

When everyone heard this, they all showed a look of surprise.

Zuo Liangyu frowned and showed a disdainful expression.

All the generals looked at each other for a while, their faces gradually eased, and they all looked quite contemptuous.

How could a team that had never been on the battlefield, without anyone wearing armor, wiped out all the elite Tang horses that had vanished 100 elite Tang horses? Qin Zhao said that he would kill 107 elite Tang horses, but none of these military generals and civil servants believed it. When the war really started, the ten-fold veterans could not hold on when the Tang horses that had vanished, even ten times the veterans here could not hold on.

Not to mention Qin Zhao's flag farmer.

They secretly thought that Qin Zhao must have killed Liang and made a contribution.

The so-called killing good people means killing ordinary people and lie about the heads of the people as the enemy's heads.

Although killing Liang and making achievements is a common thing in the Ming army, everyone is very experienced and often takes advantage of the victory to seize the title and make achievements. Before the war begins, they are eager to kill Liang and making achievements. What is this mentality?

It's the first time I'm on the battlefield, I don't know anything.

Yuan Jixian sighed, without saying much, and waved to President Qian beside Qin Zhao.

Killing some people is not a big deal. Now that the Ming army gathers in Jiayu County, the people in Jiayu County have all been fled by disaster. But now they are forcing people to break into the counterattack, and it is time to use people. At this time, they find that their generals are the ones who kill good deeds. This is really disappointing.

All the generals seemed to have no interest in talking to Qin Zhao, and they turned around one by one, too lazy to pay attention to Qin Zhao anymore.

Mr. Qian came up and wanted to bring Qin Zhao into the list.

Qin Zhao was a little unhappy and bowed and said, "Jianfu Mingjian! The officials did kill more than 100 horses. If Jianfu doesn't believe it, you can check the amount of horse meat in a certain army."

Yuan Jixian and Zuo Liangyu looked at each other.

The so-called horse meat is definitely pretended to be beef. It is now the third month of the lunar calendar and it is already very hot. The horse meat from a few days ago is now stinking, and it is impossible to tell whether it is beef or horse meat. Qin Zhao has done the whole set of kung fu to cheat merit.

Have you spent a lot of money?

Zuo Liangyu asked in a tempting manner: "Does there be a horse's head?"

Qin Zhao thought that day that he could not finish eating more than a hundred horses' meat. In order to reduce the weight of the baggage, he did not leave his horse's head. He could not easily prove that he was killing a war horse.

How could he know that the Ming army's false reports of military achievements had reached such a serious level. Everyone was lying, but the real military achievements could not be confirmed.

Qin Zhao replied stiffly: "There is no horse's head left."

Yuan Jixian waved his hand and said, "Qin Zhao, our court also believes that your military achievements are true. We will investigate them strictly in the future and will definitely find out the truth. But now the war is imminent and you have not left your horse's head. The argument is useless. You should be included first."

After all, Yuan Jixian is a good-tempered civil servant, so he slowed down the scene in one sentence.
