Chapter 111 North Camp
Compared with the smooth development of Dada Industrial Park, Nanchen did encounter many problems during the team investigation.
Nanchen met with Team Huang early in the morning to explain the purpose of the mission and divide the tasks. Team Huang mainly followed up with the grassroots soldiers and investigated the current situation, while Nanchen directly convened a meeting of the leadership.
A letter written by Nanchen himself and four thousand statistical tables were sent to Li Chi, the chief of the East City Pass. This statistical table covers all personal information, as well as social relationships, family addresses and members. Once this list is complete, it will be a comprehensive control of the team's foundation, and any doubts will be solved with a simple check. Nanchen believes that Li Chi can handle this matter well.
Today, their focus is on the military investigation at the northern pass. Shu is adjacent to Qin in the north. As a fiefdom of the prince, there are no open military forces guarding the border between Shu and Qin. At most, they can place secret sentries and spies on each side. Therefore, the military defense deployment can only be placed at the passes of major cities. As for how many lines of defense extend from the city, it depends on their own ability.
Nanchen pays special attention to the North Pass, and he needs to make great efforts to investigate and rectify it! Nowadays, there are constant frictions between Shu and Qin. Black One and Red One are still lurking in Qin to investigate. The defense line at home must be rectified before cooperation can be achieved.
So, when Nanchen led his guards to the North Camp and suddenly appeared at the North Gate Garrison Camp, he saw the most realistic scene. Except for the orderly entry and exit of the city gate, the chaos in the camp was very disappointing. On a bright morning, there were only a few people training in the camp, weak old soldiers were cooking, and some people were sleeping. When Nanchen entered, he could smell the smell of alcohol.
Nanchen frowned, he called the guards to explore the camp first, and he went to the main barracks to talk to someone! As a result, the main barracks was empty, and after waiting for two quarters of an hour, the person in charge still did not show up. The situation could be so bad, and it was urgent to rectify military discipline!
"Sir, I asked some people. They slaughtered pigs and drank alcohol in the camp last night. Some people got drunk, and some went out to have fun and haven't returned yet." After searching around, Huang Yi came to report the situation.
"Gather all the people who are training in the arena, have them fill out the statistical forms first, collect them and put them away separately. The rest of the people can fill out the forms later, and use them after all of them have been investigated." Nanchen gave the order coldly, ordering them to do it now.
"Yes!" Huang Yi took the order and left. Nanchen looked through the window at the people in the arena. Most of them were in their prime. In less than a quarter of an hour, the statistical information was collected. Huang Yi brought over 800 reports. Nanchen roughly looked through them and found that they were all between 20 and 30 years old. He thought for a while and walked towards the arena. The 800 strong soldiers stood in line and waited. When they saw the tall and imposing commander coming towards them, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous. The whole place was silent.
Nanchen's tiger eyes slowly swept over them until he stood in front of their team, and spoke in a steady voice! "Good morning, fellow soldiers! I am General Nan under the command of King Ning. I came to the camp today to inspect the team's life and care about the soldiers' sufferings. The statistical form I just filled out for everyone is the most important thing. The prince is spending a huge amount of money to make training uniforms for everyone and make new bedding for the winter." The soldiers off the field were instantly in an uproar. There was such a good thing.
Nan Chen paused to look at their reactions and continued, "But it seems that I came at a bad time and the people are not all here. As for the reason, I can not pursue it this time, but Prince Ning always cares about the food, clothing, housing, transportation and safety of the soldiers. Since I was sent here, I must do this job well. The team will eventually move towards the direction of a regular army, and the current lazy and scattered appearance must be eliminated. Everyone present now will receive ten blank forms and use one morning to register the information of all the people in the same camp, including those who perform sentry tasks outside. Record them truthfully, because you will be responsible for managing all these people except for the cooks. Can you do it?"
"Yes!" Everyone in the audience responded loudly. They never thought they could manage people.
"Sir, what if it was the original general?" someone in the audience raised a question.
"Except for those who are out on missions, all the original generals who are not present will be handed over to me for retraining. Only those who pass the assessment can join the team. If you have the ability to subdue your leader, that's also possible. We will assemble at the arena in the afternoon when the drums are sounded! Now let's get to work!" Nanchen said frankly, he kept his word!
At one moment, a group of people were running back and forth off the field. Some ran to wake people up, some ran to the kitchen, and some even put a steamed bun in their pockets and rode out of the camp on horseback.
Nanchen walked around the camp with his personal guards, observing the terrain features here. There are mountains, water and fields. This place is suitable for living and production, and the logistics supply team can do it here. But it doesn't have much effect on defending against the enemy. After walking for several miles to the north, the terrain is still the same. Nanchen simply rode north with the guards, and finally found the place where the team was stationed about 80 miles away from the camp. This is a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The mountains and valleys form a natural barrier. There is only one passage that can be used. It was originally used as a small sentry post. However, Nanchen thinks it is appropriate for the team to be stationed here. The sentry will have to continue to move north and report the situation. Then this place will have the greatest advantage in defense against the enemy. Because there are more than 80 miles of land in the rear, it is perfect for planting and raising supply teams!
Nanchen got off his horse and went to the simple outpost to inquire about the situation. He found that there were only ten people. After asking, he found out that these ten people were all alone and had no family to worry about. The age was a bit uneven, with young and old. The only advantage was that they could ride horses and send messages on horseback. Military pay was their only source of income, and they had already regarded this outpost as their home. Nanchen visited their bedroom, kitchen, and the watchtower they built on the top of the mountain, which was usually used to detect abnormal situations ahead. Everything was too simple.
Nanchen was in a heavy mood. He first asked the people to fill in their personal information, and then began to ask them about their understanding of the local terrain. The old men were quiet, and the three half-grown boys, about sixteen or seventeen years old, were the most enthusiastic in answering.
Nanchen took the completed statistical form and looked through it. Lao Nian? Lao Gen? Lao Chai? Xiao Jin? Xiao Mang? Xiao Shitou? ... What are these names? ! "Let me ask you, have you been to the mountains on both sides of this road?"
"We've all been there! Grandpa asked us to go and see it to know the situation. When we are not on duty, we go to the mountains to pick wild fruits!" said Little Stone, the youngest boy, sixteen years old.
"Grandpa? Which one?" Nanchen looked around but couldn't figure out which one was the grandpa he was talking about.
"Grandpa is a hunter in the mountains. He became familiar with us later. He doesn't live here." Xiao Mang also hurriedly replied.
"Oh, can I meet him today?" Nanchen was curious about this person and wanted to see what was special about him.
"I don't know! He went into the mountains and saw people heading south, but I know where he lives." The shy Xiao Jin also joined the conversation!
"Is there any village nearby?" Nanchen couldn't help but be curious when he heard that!
"No, it's only the hunter's temporary residence!" Lao Nian, who had been silent before, finally spoke.
"Oh! Can I borrow your paper and pen? I want to go up the mountains on both sides to see the scenery." Seeing that there was still early, Nanchen decided to go up the mountain himself to check the terrain and then draw a map!
"I can lead the way for you!" Little Stone was still quite playful and he also wanted to go into the mountains.
Nanchen looked at the other two teenagers and saw that they were also looking forward to it. He said to Lao Nian, "Old man, I'll ask them to lead the way. I'll bring them back first when I come back!"
"Be good and be careful!" Lao Nian couldn't resist the pleading looks of the three teenagers and nodded in agreement.
