Virtuous nephew, there is a batch of obsolete armaments in our army, all of which are of good use, and if the virtuous nephew does not dislike it, he can take it. ”

Linhuai Marquis was very satisfied with Zhu Ping'an's suggestion, considering that Zhu Ping'an was responsible for reorganizing the military equipment, and the food and salary he had just received from the military department was insufficient, in order to thank Zhu Ping'an, he said that there were a number of eliminated troops in his army that could be supported.

"Thank you uncle for your support." How could Zhu Ping'an refuse, and thanked Linhuai Hou as soon as possible.

"The virtuous nephew is polite. There is also the thief, and his uncle will come to the door another day, in addition to embarrassing his old face, he will definitely ask for a batch of suitable benefits for the virtuous nephew. Linhuai Hou smiled slightly and said again.

"Ping An's suggestion can be adopted by Wei Guogong, it is an honor, how dare you ask for benefits." Zhu Ping'an smiled and shook his head.

"Virtuous nephew, you are too kind. You don't care, your uncle will make the decision for you. Lin Huaihou waved his hand.

Well, you're an elder, I can't talk about you...... Zhu Ping'an smiled bitterly on his face and applauded warmly in his heart.

The two agreed that tomorrow morning, Zhu Ping'an would take people to the Linhuai Marquis camp to receive the elimination of military equipment. Then, the two separated. Linhuai Hou was in a hurry to go back to write the recital, and his fat figure walked like a fly......

On the morning of the second day, Zhu Ping'an took Liu Dadao and others with him, and requisitioned ten errand soldiers from the Yamen of the Judicial Division, rented 20 carriages, and went to the camp of the Caojiang Navy led by the Marquis of Linhuai.

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

The housekeeper Li Er specially waited outside the camp, and when he saw Zhu Ping'an from a distance, he greeted him.

"There is a Steward of Lao Li waiting outside the camp." Zhu Ping'an smiled and said hello to Li Er.

"Uncle is polite, uncle please." Li Er's smile was bright, leading Zhu Ping'an and his party to the barracks.

Zhu Ping'an walked forward, while observing the Linhuai Marquis barracks, the military camp is stationed at the mouth of the river, half on the river, half on the riverbank, stretching for miles, the outermost part of the camp is the antlers, and the fence is set up behind the antlers, and the camp is enclosed.

The military camp of Linhuai Hou is quite orderly, but there are also shortcomings, the camp is set up in one place, so it is easy to be made dumplings. Generally, cautious generals will camp in two or three places, and the two camps form a cornering situation, and the two camps take care of each other, one camp is attacked, and the other camp can go to support; The three camps form a zigzag formation, one camp is attacked, two camps can go to support, and the three camps cooperate with each other.

"Master Li, please ......"

There was a team of eight guards on duty outside the gate of the camp in two columns, and when they saw Li Er leading Zhu Ping'an and his party to come, the guards on duty all knew Li Er, and they all rushed to say hello to Li Er, although they didn't know Zhu Ping'an and others, they opened the camp gate without asking, and invited Li Er and Zhu Ping'an and his party to enter the barracks.

Without verifying and verifying his identity, he opened the gate and asked himself to enter......

Military discipline is not good.

After a glimpse of the whole leopard, seeing the scene in front of the gate, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Military discipline is not strict, and the level of army management is not optimistic, Zhu Ping'an expressed concern about the level of military management of Linhuai Marquis.

Sure enough, Zhu Ping'an entered the barracks and found that the camp tents in the camp were quite orderly, but the soldiers were undisciplined, and the queue of soldiers who were being trained in the venue was loose, and the soldiers who were not trained either walked around at will between the camp tents, or sat on the ground in groups of three or five without an image, staggering, and there were even a few people on the periphery of the open space, and the noise spread far and wide, as if they were rolling dice and gambling......

Li Er led Zhu Ping'an and his entourage all the way into the tent and came to the marquis of Linhuai's tent, and was stopped by his own soldiers thirty meters in front of the tent.

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

"Bald Li, you've blinded your dog's eyes, and even the fifth aunt dares to stop you. This is the fifth aunt of our house, the champion of the dynasty, and now he is in Wupin Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Zhu Ping'an Zhu, the secretary of the prosecutor's office, is responsible for reorganizing the military equipment and raising the first regiment. The lord asked my uncle to come to the camp to receive the armaments we had eliminated, and to assist my uncle in reorganizing the militia regiment. Li Er stepped forward and scolded and introduced Zhu Ping'an to them.

"It turned out to be my uncle, the little ones don't know Mount Tai with their eyes, my uncle forgive me, let's go to the master." Li Bald and the other soldiers immediately became enthusiastic, sent someone to report to the commander's account, and helped push the carriage.

"Hehe, nephew, you're here." After Linhuai Hou got the message, he greeted him out of the tent with a smile on his face.

"Uncle." Zhu Ping'an bowed his hand.

"Come on, come into the tent, drink a cup of hot tea, and warm up." Marquis Linhuai smiled and introduced Zhu Ping'an into the tent, and before entering the tent, he instructed his own soldiers, "Li Er, Li Bald, you have greeted all the people brought by the virtuous nephew." ”

Zhu Ping'an walked into the tent, Linhuai Hou poured Zhu Ping'an a cup of tea, and hurriedly brought a piece of music to Zhu Ping'an.

"Virtuous nephew, do you see me playing like this, but what?" Lin Huaihou asked.

Zhu Ping'an took the recital and read it carefully, the content was almost exactly the same as his suggestion, there was no problem with the choice of words and sentences, and there was nothing improper in it, so he nodded, "Uncle, there is nothing improper in the content of the recital, after the uncle's polishing, this recital is more feasible and good." ”

"Virtuous nephew, do you want to sign it?" Lin Huaihou asked.

Zhu Ping'an shook his head, "Uncle, it's better for me to avoid suspicion." ”

"Okay." Marquis Linhuai nodded, so he signed and sealed, and asked people to urgently send it to the Beijing General Administration, and at the same time unveil 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 receive the eliminated armament.

The quartermaster opened a warehouse, pointed to the messy pile of military uniforms inside, and said to Zhu Ping'an, "Lord Zhu, there are more than 1,200 sets of eliminated military uniforms in this warehouse, all of which are ordinary military uniforms, and they can be reused. ”

Zhu Ping'an observed closely, nodded, these uniforms were all changed, and they were basically in good condition.

"Is there any armor?" Zhu Ping'an asked.

"There is armor, but it is ......," the quartermaster said again.

"Virtuous nephew, it's not that I won't give you armor, it's just that the armor is all old armor forged before, and it is not well maintained...... Linhuai Marquis explained.

Sure enough, when the quartermaster opened a storeroom where the armor was stored, a smell of mildew and rust came out, and the armor inside was rusty and tattered, and there was hardly a complete armor, and there were many holes in almost every armor leaf. Such armor is so rotten that it is only cumbersome to wear, and it cannot protect the body at all, so it was abandoned by the Linhuai Marquis and their military camp, and they are still tattered in the warehouse......

However, rotten armor is also armor, and it can be used as scrap iron when it is pulled back, and it is possible to forge blades and armor.

Zhu Ping'an also opened his mouth to ask for all these tattered armors.

Then, the quartermaster opened several more warehouses, from which Zhu Ping'an received six hundred spears, five hundred swords, and two hundred longbows. To Zhu Ping'an's delight, in the corner of a warehouse, Zhu Ping'an also found 300 firearms.

"Oh, these burning sticks are not suitable for our navy, not to mention the trouble of loading, they will be dumb when the tide is over, it is better to bow and arrow contract."

The Marquis of Linhuai was very disdainful of the firecracker.

It's a terrible thing to have firearms and not to use them! Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an unceremoniously asked for the three hundred firearms.

This trip was a full load.
