"Reporting to the Lord Supervisor of the Army, we now have officers and soldiers from Pi Island, Ji Hu Ben Camp, Hu Wei Ying, part of the Zhong Yong Camp, and the entire Kong Zi Camp, with a total of four battalions of 13,000 and 754 people, and nearly a thousand muskets.
, there are more than sixty cannons, and they can be launched at any time according to the military orders of the supervisor!"
"Let's go, huh, that's easy to say!"
Song Jian listened to Geng Jingzhong's report with a look of disdain on his face: "Where are we going?"
"Well, of course, we have to obey the command of the Lord Supervisor!" Geng Jingzhong smiled sarcastically: "Whether it is merging with Zhenjiang Fort to resist the Tartars, or sending troops to aid Liaoyang, the general and others will only follow the lead of the Lord Supervisor!"
"Why are you anxious!" Song Jian snorted: "Didn't you say that the sea was frozen solid? In previous years, the Tartars attacked my island from the ice. We must be prepared to prevent them from repeating their same tactics. I asked you to lead the soldiers to build fortifications.
, this is the top priority, sending troops or something, with Jiang Wan at Zhenjiang Fort, do we need to worry about it?"
"But Mr. Supervisor, the military rations here on Pi Island are all brought by fleets from all over the world. Even if the sea is not frozen now, I am afraid that the fleets will not come over. And the army's rations can only support half a
moon!"
Geng Jingzhong gritted his teeth and said: "Supplies from the imperial court can't come. If our army wants to run out of food and guard the island without moving, I'm afraid it won't work!"
"You bastard!" Song Jian was obviously taken aback: "Why are you talking about such an important thing now? If I don't let you count the weapons and weapons of all the soldiers on the island, I'm afraid you will still hide it!"
The faces of the several generals under the tent all showed a look of perseverance. Do they need to be reminded by the generals about this kind of thing? Food supplies in the army are a big deal. They all thought that the Lord Supervisor of the Army knew what he knew. Unexpectedly, this person who claims to know how to do it
The supervisor of the commanding army is actually so confused.
"How much military rations are there on the whole island? Let's be honest!" Song Jian pointed angrily at Geng Jingzhong and scolded him for his incompetence, and finally faced this reality angrily.
"It's less than a thousand dan. If you eat two meals a day, it can last for half a month. If you eat three meals, it can last up to ten days!"
Geng Jingzhong lowered his head and said.
"One meal a day is dry, and the other meal is some gruel, as long as the soldiers are not starved to death!" Song Jian glared at him: "According to the previous weather, how long will it take for the ice on the sea to melt?
…”
"Last year, the ice melted and it was possible to sail. It was at the end of January!" Geng Jingzhong said: "It will take at least a month. Moreover, Lord Supervisor, even if the ice is enough to sail, I don't know when the military rations from the court will arrive.
, if the Sihai fleet does something at sea and delays the arrival of military rations, then we will starve to death!"
"How dare they!" Song Jian shouted loudly: "Do you think that the navy of the Ming Dynasty is fake? If they dare to attack my grain ship, they are rebelling and want to destroy the Nine Tribes!"
"Send the order, please save some food for me, and wait until this month passes. If it doesn't work, send someone to Zhenjiang Fort and ask them to send a batch of military rations!"
"This..." Several generals looked at me, and I looked at you, and couldn't believe my ears. Is this the countermeasure of the arrogant Lord Supervisor who came to seize military power? I hope Zhenjiang Fort will send military rations.
, I’m afraid he doesn’t know what kind of character our commander-in-chief is.
How can anyone in this world slap someone, rob someone of their belongings, and then ask them to give away their belongings in an obedient and obedient manner? Even if he is a clay figure, he still has a bit of a country temperament, not to mention Jiang Wan
Here is the dignified commander-in-chief of the town!
"Why are you all looking at me like this? Isn't Jiang Wan the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town? You are also generals of Dongjiang Town. How can he just watch you starve to death!"
Song Jian said sadly: "If he doesn't send military rations, does he want to rebel?"
"Master Supervisor, you must never say that!"
Several generals were startled by these words, and they all chose to seek refuge with the Lord Supervisor, who represented the imperial court. This was just a struggle for power within Dongjiang Town, but when it came to the word rebellion, it was of a completely different nature.
"While we can still stand it now, send someone to send a message to Jiang Wan and let's see what he says!" Song Jian snorted and was too lazy to pay them any more attention.
Zhenjiang Fort is as quiet as a paradise. If you stay here all the time, it will seem like the whole world is peaceful and quiet, and the war will seem very far away from here.
However, most people actually know that the war is actually dozens or hundreds of miles away.
Even now, news of injured or killed scouts is coming back from time to time, which makes these people in this peach blossom garden suddenly realize that they have actually been in the war all along.
Jin Soyan and Jin Suyuan, the two little sisters, serve as Lord Jiang's servants and have already settled down in Zhenjiang Fort. The two little girls have been working hard to adapt to the environment here, for fear that they will be punished or even punished if they do not do well.
Being sent back directly—that would be a crueler outcome than being punished.
None of them dared to imagine what would happen to them after they were sent back.
However, after a few days, they found that their efforts to adapt had no effect at all. Although they were servants and concubines of Marshal Jiang, they were not even as good as a maid.
It’s not that they are inferior to the maids, the guards around Marshal Jiang are polite to them. It’s just that in Marshal Jiang’s yard, apart from occasionally serving tea when Marshal Jiang has guests,
When it gets dark, there is almost nothing for them to do if they light up the lights.
Even serving Marshal Jiang in his daily life, they were all his personal guards. Most of the time, the two of them just stayed in their own rooms doing nothing.
Due to status issues, they were naturally not allowed to go out and walk around freely after entering this courtyard. There was almost nothing to do in the courtyard, and the ladies were really bored.
As long as they are not sent back, they can stay and the boring things can be easily solved. In addition to helping the guards wash and sew their clothes, they sometimes also beg the guards to find them some books to read.
Naturally, the guards wanted to report this matter to Jiang Wan, but Jiang Wan didn't care much about it. After the two little sisters had books to read, they became even more at home, so much so that Jiang Wan sometimes forgot that there was such a person beside her.
Two little girls.
"Actually, it's not that the Marshal doesn't care about us, it's just that he is very busy and has no time!"
"I think he doesn't believe us. After all, we were sent by Mr. Park. He is wary of us because he is wary of Mr. Park!"
"No matter how many there are, as long as no one bullies us here, that's all!"
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, but you are fat and are disliked by the commander. Let me see where you go and cry..."
The whispers of the two little sisters came from the house. Jiang Wan, who was standing under the eaves, smiled. However, with these two girls, his yard seemed to be a little more lively. Otherwise, he would
The dignified Commander-in-Chief's residence is as desolate as the people living in the shacks outside, which is too ungraceful.
"Let me find some interesting stories and novels for them! Someone from the fleet should have brought these books or something like that. Let's go back and look for them!"
He turned around and said, "Also, over there on Pi Island, you tell them that if they want food, I have plenty in Zhenjiang Fort, but they have to come and get it in person, Lord Song, the Supervisor of the Army. I won't give it to others if they ask for it."
