Chapter 1686 Different Zhejiang Army

Just as Hu Zongxian, Wei Guogong and others thought, the destination of Zhang Jing's trip was the Zhejiang Army Camp.

Zhang Jing and the others were about to arrive at the Zhe Army Camp, and when there was still about a mile left, they heard two deafening bangs of "Boom, Boom, Boom" followed by another "Boom, Boom, Boom" sound.

When the bang came down, the horses under everyone were a little frightened, and everyone stretched out their hands to comfort the horses under them.

"What's going on, did it thunder?"

The people in the entourage looked at the front in surprise and uncertainty, not knowing what happened, wondering if it was thunder.

"It's sunny today, and it's not rainy. How could there be thunder." Someone looked up at the sky and shook his head.

"What's wrong with the sunny day, isn't there a thunderbolt from the blue sky?"

"It's not thunder, it's the sound of artillery and firecrackers." Wei Guogong and Hu Zongxian spoke out almost at the same time.

Although Wei Guogong didn't pay much attention to firearms, he was a general after all, and he commanded a battalion. There were also artillery and blunderbusses in the barracks. It was the sound of artillery and firecrackers.

In addition, Wei Guogong also knows how much Zhu Pingan attaches importance to firearms, and he has scavenged a lot of firearms from his camp alone.

Hu Zongxian has been dealing with the army from patrolling the frontier army to patrolling Zhejiang. He is naturally no stranger to the sound of artillery and firecrackers, especially the frontier army. Cannon, you can hear it at the first sound of artillery.

"Oh, it turned out to be the sound of artillery and firecrackers." Everyone heard the words and reacted belatedly.

"Let's go, just take a look at the drills of the Zhejiang Army."

Zhang Jing heard the sound of firearms, and immediately said with great interest, he clamped the horse's belly hard, and went away first.

Earlier, when Zhang Jing first met Zhu Ping'an and compared his military affairs, Zhu Ping'an said that firearms are the most important weapons.

It's better to come early than coincidentally. It's just time to see how the Zhejiang Army practiced firearms and how Zhu Ping'an regards firearms as the most important thing.

"Drive!"

Everyone also followed Zhang Jing and drove straight to the Zhe Army camp.

The sentry on the sentry tower of the Zhejiang Army Daying saw Zhang Jing and his party early, and loudly reminded the guards at the gate that there was a team of unknown origin riding towards the camp, and raised their vigilance.

The guards at the Yuanmen got ready immediately, fully armed and set up a barricade 30 meters in front of the Yuanmen.

Same as the previous three inspections, one of the armored tiger guards among Zhang Jing and his party came first again.

What was different this time from the previous three times was that before the Tiger Guards reached the gate, they were blocked by a simple antler barrier set up by the guards thirty meters in front of the gate.

Behind the antler barricades are five guards in full armor, wearing cotton armor with only their faces exposed, with a knife on their waist, and a firecracker in their hand, shouting, "This is the Zhejiang army camp area, stop here! You are Who is it? Who is behind it? Why do you want to come to our Zhejiang army camp?"

The tiger guard quickly pulled the reins, and immediately shouted to the guards of the Zhejiang army behind the roadblock, "Master Zhang Jing, the imperial envoy, Mr. Zhao Wenhua, Mr. Huang, the servant of the Ministry of War, Mr. Wei Guogong, who is guarding Yingtian, Mr. Hu, the censor of Zhejiang patrol and supervision, etc. The party is here to inspect the Zhe Army camp, so hurry up and remove the antlers, open the gate, and welcome the governor and his party."

"Sorry, please wait a moment. You said that the governor and his entourage came to our Zhejiang army camp. What proof do you have? We can only enter the camp after we verify our identity and report to Li, and get permission from my lord."

The guard behind the antlers shook his head without hesitation, and said seriously, strictly following the rules.

"What are you talking about? Quickly remove the antlers, open the gate, and whoever dares to pretend to be the governor will fail!"

Huwei urged impatiently.

The governor and his party are right behind, and it will take a few more words. I specially rode over here first, just to make the barracks guards quickly open the gate and welcome the governor and his party into the camp, so as not to delay the governor and their precious time. time.

The first few companies are doing well, why is your Zhejiang army so troublesome and long-winded. If the Governor and the others came and found that the Zhe Army guards not only did not open the gate to welcome them, but they were also stopped at a roadblock 30 meters in front of the camp, they would definitely think that they were ineffective, and their future prospects would be bleak.

"Sorry, trespassing is not allowed in this important place of the camp! If you are in a hurry, quickly bring your voucher. After we verify your identity, we will report to you. After getting permission from the adults, we will open the gate and invite you to enter the camp."

The guard of the Zhejiang Army clasped his fists and said persistently, reaching out for identity verification.

"I said you can't understand human language, who dare to pretend to be the governor and his party?!"

Hu Wei heard the words, his face became more irritable, seeing that the guards were repeating the same old tune, he immediately untied his waist badge with a look of impatience, and threw it forcefully to the guards of the Zhejiang army behind the antlers, urging with an unhappy face, "Okay , you need proof, right? Nuo, this is my badge. I am the governor's personal guard, Xiaoqi Zhang Bao. Look carefully with your dog eyes wide. It's all right now. Quickly remove the antlers and open it. Yuanmen."

"Sorry, this is just your badge, and it can only verify your identity. Didn't you say that Governor Zhang and his party came to inspect our camp? Their identities must also be verified, and we can report to them after confirmation. "After checking Zhang Bao's waist card, the guard returned his hands to the Tiger Guard, but still did not intend to remove the antlers.

"I said you are sick in your head. My identity has been verified. What do you doubt? Does anyone else dare to pretend to be the governor? Don't you think it's too long?" Tiger Guard said with a sullen look on his face. .

"Sorry, it's business. If you want to enter the camp, you must first verify your identity." The guard of the Zhejiang Army insisted.

Seeing that the guards of the Zhejiang army were still persistent, the tiger guards couldn't help but glared at them, pointed at them with a horsewhip, and threatened them viciously, "You don't want to toast or eat fine wine, if you delay the governor's patrol, can you afford it?" ?It offends the grown-ups, as long as you say a word, you can't eat and walk around."

"Zhang Xiaoqi, don't embarrass us. Our Zhejiang Army has military orders and disciplines. If we let you enter the camp without verification of identity and permission, we will seriously violate military orders and disciplines. You don't have to wait for your lord. If you are not happy, my adults can make us go around without food."

The guards of the Zhejiang Army cupped their fists and said helplessly.

At this time, Zhang Jing and his party had already arrived on horseback, and it was already too late. Zhang Bao couldn't help but glared at the guards of the Zhejiang army angrily, and cursed viciously, "Damn it, look at what you have done! You have good fruits eat!"
