C3673 (1/2)

Just like that, the fated enemy began to take revenge. The moment Tongzhi Emperor's imperial carriage left Tongzhou City, Zai Chun discovered that something was amiss on both sides of the road!

Those who maintained order within the city were all soldiers wearing the Eight Banner Card and armor. From their weapons and banners, one could tell which Battalion Head they belonged to.

The cavalry unit, the infantry unit, the vanguard unit, the garrison camp, the personal guard unit, the three flags of the Inner Palace, the firearm unit, the elite unit, the tiger gun unit … If combined together, they could be called the imperial guards by the common folk.

As for the new army that Zai Chun trained in Fujian, their official name would be New Imperial Army, and they would be part of the new fighting force of this system!

The minister of nine city gates was also known as the Infantry Commander's Yamen. He was no longer in charge of the Imperial City, but rather the outer city gates, such as the Deisenmun, the Peace Faction, the Fucheng Gate, and so on!

Although Zai Chun was very young when he left the Forbidden City, if he didn't recognize the flags and uniforms of the troops guarding the Forbidden City, wouldn't he be a fool?

Inside Tongzhou City, the guards on both sides of the road were all old imperial guards from the Battalion Head, but as soon as he left the city, he discovered those soldiers in yellow military uniforms!

”Xishan Camp? Is this a soldier of the Xishan Camp? ” Zai Chun was stunned at the moment, and he muttered to himself.

Fifth Master Yi Cong's back was covered in cold sweat, his hands were so nervous that they were ice-cold. He quickly ran to Zai Chun's side and whispered, ”Your Majesty, this is the new army from the capital, the Western Mountain soldiers stationed in the Xishan Camp!”

”Oh!” Haha, you are truly an elite! ”

Zai Chun was no longer a young lad. At this moment, he felt so disgusted that he might as well have eaten a housefly, but he had to be calm and collected!

”Send two over for us to take a look?”

”Ah …” Yi Cong quickly retreated to find someone.

Zai Chun wanted to call two soldiers from the Xishan camp, this was not something that could be done easily. The imperial carriage moved forward another two Li, and only then did someone lead two soldiers and run to the left side of the imperial carriage.

”This subject... I am afraid I have to pay my respects to your majesty! ”

”Aiyo!” Isn't this our brother? Get up! ” Zai Chun smiled as he looked at his biological uncle and brother, who was two years younger than him.

”It's been five years since we last met, you've grown so much!”

Zai Cheng had specially prepared this day, he did not wear the belle's imperial uniform, but had changed into the Xishan camp's military uniform!

Shoulder badge, hat, breast badge, ribbon... A long tassel ornament adorned the top, and the command knife at his waist was adorned with gems!

”Haha …” Zai Cheng, looking at you, with five people and six people, it seems like your position is not small! Any position in the Xishan camp? ”

”Reporting to Your Majesty, the vice commander of the First Army!”

Zai Cheng coldly laughed in his heart, thinking that you are just material for being a deputy head. I reckon your father also looks down on you, and knows that you do not have many cowardly treasures in your stomach, so you can just become a deputy head.

”Zai Cheng! Let me ask you, how many soldiers does the Xishan Camp have? How many shots? How many cannons? ”How many fire potions are there?”

”Reporting to Your Majesty, the Xishan camp has a total of thirty thousand soldiers, a hundred thousand guns, 84 field cannons, fire medicine …” ”This gunpowder …”

Zai Cheng was a scoundrel, he could recite the numbers on the surface, but he would not know the details, and he would not know the exact number of Fire Potions he had.

Yi Yu, who was behind his son, scolded, ”You ignorant fool, why aren't you leaving!?” ”How embarrassing …”

”Long live, Xishan camp has a total of 4200 kilograms of gunpowder, 2 million rounds of bullets, and over 13,000 rounds of ammunition of each type …”

Zai Chun had learned the staff officers' course before, so after a brief estimation of the numbers, he knew that the Xishan camp had already stored the materials needed for a medium intensity war.

And this was on the basis that he, General Evil Six, was not lying!
