Chapter 398 Jiangnan camp goes south
Chapter 398 Jiangnan camp goes south
"Your Majesty, if we take a boat south to Leizhou, the speed of the boat will be much faster than the land march. In fact, if everything goes well, we will only need six days to reach Leizhou."
"These six days include one day to board the ship, four days to sail, and one day to disembark."
"Yes, Your Majesty, we set out from Jiangzhou Prefecture and need to pass through two counties along the way to reach Lei County. We only need to stay in these two counties for one day each and order the local county guards to donate many weapons and armor. Greatly reduces our stress.”
"Yes, Your Majesty, although our Jiangnan camp is not short of weapons at this stage, the gaps in the armor are quite large. The original rebels resold them wantonly, and we have never seen the ones appropriated by the court."
Later, someone complained: "Although our soldiers in the Jiangnan Camp also have armors, they are all old items. Some have been passed down for 70 to [-] years. They are fine as a decoration, but when used for combat, they are probably no more than two armors." A piece of cloth is strong.”
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, it is impossible for us in Jiangzhou Prefecture to gather so many armors. Please be kind to Your Majesty and let the two counties raise some armors. After all, with more armors, everyone can survive on the battlefield. Only then can we win the battle.”
After listening to what everyone said, Yi Shan smiled half-heartedly, "Jia Zhou, how much do you think two counties can raise, and how much do you dare to raise?"
I saw a general soldier gritting his teeth: "There have been no wars in these years, but I am sure that one county can collect at least two or three thousand leather armors. In this way, the two counties will have five or six thousand sets, and we can collect them again in Lei County." There are one or two thousand armors, and I think there are still six or seven thousand armors in total."
In fact, the commander-in-chief's words almost made it clear that we know you have armor, whether it was made privately by you or leaked from our hands.
Therefore, the subconsciousness in the commander-in-chief's words also vaguely threatens these three counties.
If it doesn't work, it's not like they can't suppress the rebellion all the way from Jiangzhou to Changsha.
So Yishan was very interested after hearing what the commander-in-chief said and knew that this man was a talent.
Then he took a closer look and saw that this was the team officer who was the first to flatter him a few days ago and led his horse today.
A small team of officers dared to cross the line of duty and work all the way to the rank of commander-in-chief. If he had not had any skills, he would have died yesterday.
This man is ruthless and has eyes.
So Yishan didn't mind meeting his request and letting him work hard in the next battle.
Of course, whether this person can survive to the end depends on his ability.
Then he said: "Okay, I will give the order to the three counties now. When my army arrives, they will each raise four thousand armors and eight hundred shields."
"However, I won't guarantee you how much they can come up with."
Hearing this, a commander-in-chief immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, just give the order. They don't dare to lack this armor."
"If it's not enough, I'll collect the debt for the prince."
After hearing this, Yi Shan motioned for him to retreat, and then said coldly.
"I said, this time to counter the rebellion, we can only win, not lose. All I want now are weapons, armor, and soldiers who dare to fight."
"As I said before, I like money, but I like life even more. If I lose, I will let you die in front of me."
“So don’t be smart!!”
At these words, all the general soldiers couldn't help but sweat.
But everyone quickly adjusted their mentality and stopped making random ideas.
"Your Majesty, this time in Leizhou, they not only need to provide weapons and armor, but also need them to provide a large number of livestock. These livestock need to be mainly mules and horses, such as oxen and donkeys, which can only be supplementary, not too many."
"As long as we have enough mules and horses, we can attack on a fast march."
"After all, they are just mules and horses, and they are not violent. Even if the soldiers have never ridden them, it will not affect their riding on the march."
For a time, everyone was talking about it, everyone had their own suggestions.
But these suggestions are all aimed at being able to march quickly and fight quickly.
As for food and grass, it was not within their scope of consideration.
It's even said that these people don't actually take these things to heart.
In other words, from beginning to end, what they do is to fight against food. They never regarded their own counties and people as their own.
If there is not enough food and grass, money and food, it is normal for them to massacre their own county.
This kind of thing, for the soldiers and officers in the Jiangnan camp, is something that their elders have learned from novels.
In other words, they took this time for granted and continued to use it for nearly 200 years.
............
At the same time, just as Yishan was discussing this with the general soldiers, the entire Jiangzhou Prefecture came out of the city, and other places had been troubled by the Jiangnan Camp.
In fact, the so-called independent raising of armor and weapons is, to them, an order to completely leave the camp and kill and plunder wantonly.
Sell?
Sell your ass!
Therefore, soldiers from the Jiangnan camp entered villages and towns in groups, looking for powerful families to directly ask for armor.
Who dares to agree to such a thing?
If you agree, you are hiding the armor secretly, which will kill the nine tribes.
So, the killing happened.
To put it simply, you are guilty of giving the armor, and it will not be difficult for you to pay a little money.
After all, it’s reasonable for us brothers to search while wearing armor, right?
But if it must be said that there is no armor, then don't blame the brothers for breaking in.
After all, the women in your family are very beautiful and have a lot of money, so they don't mind doing the work for you.
In addition, these families were facing officers and soldiers and did not dare to resist at all.
So it's not impossible to just go in and kill everyone.
In this way, in just four days, the entire Jiangzhou Mansion was turned upside down, and countless people were killed.
As for the governor and admiral of Jiangzhou, what can they do?
Sorrow!
You must know that this is the prince.
This is the commander-in-chief of Jiangnan Camp.
This is an imperial envoy.
They say you are a traitor, and you are a traitor.
Local officials, who dares to say that you are not?
For a time, the fear that Jiangnan Camp brought to the people of Jiangnan was revealed again after being sealed in dust for 30 years.
Soon, four days passed like this, and the soldiers who caused trouble in Jiangzhou Prefecture returned to the camp smoothly.
In the past four days, a lot has been gained, including thousands of armors, more than a thousand shields, swords, bows and guns, and many people have changed into brand-new equipment.
At the same time, during these four days, a large number of ships were forcibly requisitioned, barely enough ships to carry 3 people.
Then under Yishan's order, these soldiers began to board the ship.
That night, hundreds of ships sailed southward.
