At nine o'clock on September 29th, Sun Chuanting was already sitting on the high platform of the school ground.
Next to him stood a row of borrowed soldiers from the Jinyi Guards.
In the school field below the stage, there were a few sparse teams standing, most of them without armor.
Some stood dejected and motionless, while some chased and fought causing dust to fly.
Sun Chuanting had no expression on his face.
In fact, there was no objection from the generals after he proposed an inventory yesterday, so he knew the result would be like this today.
The school ground can barely accommodate 26,000 people standing, and there is no way to accommodate 260,000 people.
Although Lu Qin had vaguely told him that there was a serious shortage of vacancies in the Beijing camp, he never expected that it was so serious.
What he saw now could only be described as shocking.
At this time, the generals managed to get their formations into order and came to the stage.
Sun Chuanting took a glance and said, "Governor Li, it seems that the generals are not here yet."
Li Xin ate and said: "Vice-General Zhang Yougong of the Fifth Army Battalion, Zhang Youye of the Guerrilla Battalion, and Zhang Youde, the Staff General of the Shenji Battalion, have taken leave due to family matters, so they cannot come."
"Oh, that's it, forget it."
The generals breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time looked down upon the imperial envoy.
It turned out that it was just like this, which made them worry in vain all night.
"Those who don't come will be expelled from the capital camp, and the Ministry of War will be notified to remove them and be classified as deserters."
Sun Chuanting said again unhurriedly.
The generals were startled.
Although the Ming Dynasty was noble and military, but as a member of the generals of the Ming Dynasty, their hair growth was no worse than that of civilian officials.
Especially in the Beijing camp, they did not worry about fighting.
Although the number of soldiers was less than a hundred, Those who don’t save one, but far more than ten who don’t save one, these empty spaces are all money.
Although the father-in-law above will take most of it, the base is large, and what you get is not just a little bit.
As for being listed as a deserter, he will be beheaded.
This imperial envoy is really good at scaring people, but he is a British citizen, so you dare to arrest him.
"Let's start the inspection now.
The fifth military camp will come first.
Governor Li, the total number of troops under your command should be 10,000.
Let's count them."
Li Xinhan came out again, knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly without making a sound.
Sun Chuanting ignored him and asked Wang Tao to point out Li Xin's direct troops and let his soldiers go and count them.
Soon the soldiers reported back: "Governor Li has a total of 303 soldiers, including 225 old and weak, and the remaining 45 young and strong in armor."
"Very good, very good.
Governor Li, please get up.
I won't ask this imperial envoy to help you personally.
You are leading good soldiers.
They are indeed good soldiers."
Li Xin stood up with shame on his face, lowered his head, and said nothing. .
"Come here, take off his clothes and behead him."
Sun Chuanting said suddenly, and the generals were startled again.
Li Xin originally thought that if he was arrested at most, the people behind him would save him, but he didn't expect that the stupid Qing imperial envoy was going to kill him.
But what happened was that several soldiers rushed out and kicked him.
Kneeling on the ground, he knocked off his hat.
At the critical moment, he reacted quickly and immediately kowtowed and shouted: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Envoy, I have been wronged.
Please investigate, Your Majesty."
"You originally had 10,000 soldiers, but now you only have 303.

I am very curious about where you are wronged."
"When I became the governor, I only had so many people.
It's none of my business."
"When you first became governor, the number of subordinates did not match the records.
Why didn't you report it to the Ministry of War and receive annual pay?
Why didn't you receive the actual amount?"
"Small, my subordinates have all been used by others for other purposes, and military pay is not taken by all the villains."
"Oh, the soldiers were used in other places by others, and the military salary was taken away by others.
These should be your business, not mine.
Kill them."
The soldier raised the knife and dropped it, blood spurted out, then grabbed the hair from the ground and lifted the head.
When the generals saw the governor's bloody head, they already knew that the imperial envoy was serious this time.
He actually beheaded a first-class general at the slightest disagreement.
This guy must be too courageous.
Even the imperial envoy Shang Fangjian could only It can kill officials below the third rank.
This guy looked gentle and gentle, but he turned out to be a butcher who killed people without blinking an eye.
I didn't have such a strong backing as the British Duke.
Everyone saw the opportunity and knelt down together.
They all claimed that they had grievances and wanted to complain to the Imperial Envoy.
"In this case, I will first count the number of people in each department, and then come to talk to the generals about the grievances."
Sun Chuanting knelt down to plead guilty for killing Li Xin without permission.
Although Zhu Youxiao felt that he was too brave, he still did not blame him.
In troubled times, heavy codes are used.
If the situation in Beijing is like this, it would be difficult to find out the true situation if he did not do this.
But it seems that the movie is right, this guy is indeed a ruthless butcher, but I like it.
Sun Chuanting presented the cleanup situation, and Zhu Youxiao looked through it carefully.
There should be a total of 266,660 people in the Beijing camp, excluding the squadron, but there were actually 19,623.
Among them, after excluding the old and weak, there are 2,050 young and strong people.
A has a total of 25,000 weapons, of which 4,300 can be used.
There are 20,500 swords and spears, of which 3,800 can be used.
There are 3,800 firearms, of which 502 can be used.
A large number of Beijing troops entered the houses of eunuchs, princes, generals, etc. and worked as servants in the farms.
Their income was very low, barely enough to make ends meet, and their military pay was also taken away by them.
Even for soldiers in the camp, their pay was less than half of what they deserved. .
Drills in the military have changed from daily drills to once every half month or even once a month.
Most of the officials' sons and daughters come here to receive pay, but people come only occasionally or even never, let alone participate in the drills.
Sun Chuanting also specifically mentioned the intelligence and other help provided by Lu Qin and Zhou Yuji during this process, and asked for credit for them.
In addition, all the generals have been detained, but the eunuchs in the inner palace and the princes and princes need to request orders to process, and the three distant relatives of the British princes have not been detained.
I really don’t know it until I see it, and I’m shocked when I see it.
Looking at these numbers, Zhu Youxiao finally understood why the Ming army collapsed in one battle.
With the capital camp in such chaos, it was strange how effective the Ming army would be.
"Investigate, let me continue the investigation.
No matter who is involved, we must get to the bottom of it.
I want Wei Zhongxian to cooperate with you.
I want to see how powerful these moths are.

Wang Chengen, go and call Wei Zhongxian."
After a while, Wei Zhongxian rushed over in a hurry, and Zhu Youxiao said: "You should check with Envoy Sun to find out the situation.
Isn't Dongchang very powerful?
This time I want to see how powerful Dongchang is.
Internal officials in the palace, you Responsible, they were still obedient when I was still the grandson, because Zhang Qianfang’s I'll give them some face, just a little.
You can ask people to go to each prince's house one by one to remind them.
If there is no movement after three days, you can go and arrest them directly.
As for the British prince, Mansion, go and arrest these three Zhangs now, and make them become Zhangs
