Sure enough, when Chief Liu arrived, he greeted General Hu Yan and asked Zheng Shou to accompany him to visit the military camp and some facilities.
"Director Liu, the Black Cavalry Army is the ace army of our Ershan Military Camp. How about we go over there and have a look? Moreover, General Huyan recently approved a thousand taels of silver to the Black Cavalry Army. I don't know what they have done.
What kind of training equipment did you bring?" Zheng Shou said, glancing at Tang Chun.
Something was going on, Tang Chun sneered in his heart.
Manager Liu nodded and the group went straight to the Black Cavalry garrison where Tang Chun was in charge.
At this moment, the training ground was full of people and very passionate. Tang Chun's subordinates were practicing enthusiastically. Of course, this was also a show performance that Tang Chun had confessed, specially for the superior officials to see.
"Mr. Tang, why have I never seen these training equipment before?" Manager Liu took a look and asked, pointing to a fire ring drilling project.
"This training is mainly to train soldiers' quick reactions and their ability to persevere in difficult environments. Chief Liu, think about it. Who would dare to neglect before the fire? If you are slow, you may be burned to death. The soldiers acted quickly.
His flexibility and maneuverability on the battlefield are much faster." Tang Chun said calmly.
"Did you design this yourself?" Manager Liu asked.
"That must have been designed by Vice President Tang himself. I have been serving in the military camp for decades, but I have never seen such training equipment and methods." Zheng Shou said.
"Well, I designed it myself." Tang Chun nodded.
"Okay, yes, your design is very unique. As Vice President Tang Qian said, the soldiers react quickly and improve their ability to survive. How can we improve the combat if we bring a group of lazy soldiers?
Effective?" Unexpectedly, Director Liu even praised Tang Chun in person.
"Yes, Vice President Tang Qian is very ingenious. Not only the activity of drilling into the fire ring, but also the training equipment called horizontal bars and double carries can effectively train the soldiers' arm strength and coordination of both hands.
Vice President Tang has a unique vision, and these training equipment are also eye-opening. I believe that the soldiers brought out by Vice President Tang are all iron troops.
Vice President Tang Qian can be called the number one in our Badshan Military Camp..." Zheng Shou actually praised Tang Chun directly, which made Tang Chun feel that the conspiracy was getting stronger and stronger.
"Haha, Vice President Tang is indeed a young hero. I, Xue, and his party have been leading troops for sixteen years and I find it novel. After a while, I will have to come over and ask Vice President Tang for advice." Sure enough, the seventh-grade foreign affairs officer, the General Manager
Xue and his party were the first to speak. This is always called "outsourcing", and the level of outsourcing is low.
"Yes, this way of training soldiers also makes me admire Zhu. Being young is good, it can free up a lot of things in the mind." said Zhu Lin, the sixth-rank general.
Tang Chun could tell that the generals next to him seemed to be having fun with the generals, and they were giving them obvious vinegary looks. Zheng Shou had successfully aroused a sense of competition between himself and the generals.
"It seems that everyone praises Vice President Tang for his outstanding ability. This is what everyone expects." Manager Liu touched the beard on his chin, glanced at General Hu Yan, and said with a smile, "General Hu has such a capable young general.
, it’s really gratifying and congratulatory.”
"No, Vice President Tang is indeed young and promising." General Hu Yan chuckled.
"By the way, General Huyan, the war has been tense recently. Our Eshan Army Camp is the elite of the country. The military pay we receive is much higher than that of other armies. We are now short of financial resources, and I just reported this situation to Director Liu.
I hope the Ministry of Revenue can provide more food and salary." General Zheng said.
"The household department is also in a tight situation. This war is not just fought by one army from your Ershan Military Camp, but there are also several armies fighting on the front line at the same time.
The number of sergeants involved amounted to millions. Even Emperor Yu himself issued an order requiring every official to donate a month's salary.
And the palace has also been advocating frugality recently. Even the bird's nest soup for the princes and princesses has been cancelled. However, the front line is too long, and the household department is also stretched.
Therefore, Lord Gong Chengzhong, the Minister of Household Affairs, issued an order requiring each army participating in the war to find ways to raise food, grass and military pay from various sources.
Be self-reliant and work hard. We must win this protracted war." Manager Liu said with a serious face.
"Will the Ministry of Revenue not increase military expenditure this time?" General Huyan frowned upon hearing this.
"Yes, how can we lead these soldiers without money? How can we continue to fight this war? We can't go to war hungry, right? The arrangement of the Ministry of Household Affairs will push us into a mess." You Zhen.
The battalion general Xiongba frowned and directly questioned.
Xiongba is the second among the four generals of the camp under General Huyan, starting from the fourth rank general. It is said that his skill has reached about the eighth level, and he is also a powerful general in the evil mountain camp.
"Haha, General Xiong is serious. The Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of the country's food and grass expenditure. Even my emperor is frugal in food and clothing, and the princes and princesses have even saved on bird's nest soup.
What is this for, of course, it is for the world of the Yu Dynasty. Our Yu Dynasty has military defenses in all directions, and the border is millions of kilometers long.
There are tens of millions of soldiers guarding the border. Doesn’t the Ministry of Household Affairs still have money to spare? No, it’s really empty.
The national treasury is empty, and it will take a period of time for lower taxes to be collected to fill these vacancies. Therefore, it is necessary for each army to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and find ways to raise food, grass and military pay.
Moreover, this is a task. Regarding this matter, the Ministry of Revenue has reported it to the court, and our emperor has submitted it for approval. General Xiong, do you want to read the decree?" Chief Liu hummed with a smile, knowing that Xiongba is a
I'm straight-tempered, but those words don't sound good.
"How to raise money and food? I, Xiongba, would like to hear Mr. Liu's valuable advice. You can't ask us to rob or steal, right? That is the most shameful behavior of Xiongba? We are the elite teachers of the court, aren't we?
Are you a rooster and a dog robber?" Xiong Ba looked at Master Liu and sneered.
"General Xiong, it doesn't mean that there is nothing we can do. There are still ways, but it just requires people to do it." At this time, Zheng Shou said.
"Oh, tell me?" Xiongba snorted from his nasal cavity. There was no need for Xiongba to be polite to Zheng Shou.
"Our food, grass and military pay are in Hangouzi." Zheng Shou said. As soon as these words came out, Tang Chun noticed that all the generals at the scene changed their faces.
"Han Gouzi, he looks very scary, what's going on, Brother Tian?" Tang Chun asked Tian Gang who was standing aside silently.
"Hangouzi, your brother should be able to tell something just by hearing this name. Hangouzi is a place, and its location is behind the guarding army led by Tan Meng, the third-rank general of the Great Yuan Kingdom.
That place was the general garrison of grain and grass for Tan Meng's army. Not only did Tan Meng's army depend on it for supplies, but also the nearby garrison had to transport grain and grass from Hangouzi.
Not only is Tan Meng heavily guarded, Han Gouzi itself is quite terrifying," Tian Gang said.
