Chapter 183
A week later, Shang Ji led a hundred well-armed Black Armored Xuanqi to take up his post!
Speaking of which, Shang Ji had to thank Qin Wei a lot. Although the army provides the weapons and equipment and military pay and food needed by the generals' personal guards, there is a clear share of this.
Obviously, the funds needed to train the Black Armored Xuanqi far exceeded the upper limit. And Shang Ji couldn't use the materials stored in the Xumina Ring, and the reward of five thousand gold just obtained was distributed to his subordinates. Shang Ji once again fell into the situation where a penny can't beat a hero.
At this moment, Qin Wei extended a helping hand at the right time.
He has always felt guilty about Qin Kai sending Shang Ji to the death camp, thinking that he could not forgive Shang Ji. Seeing that Shang Ji lacked the money and food to train the guards, he immediately came to support. Of course, he didn't dare to touch the military pay of his subordinate troops. He took part of the funds from his own Qin Guards, and then took part from his own small treasury to barely make up for the expenses.
Speaking of it, Qin Wei is really a sincere gentleman, even though Qin Kai had reminded him that Shang Ji was deep-minded and not a kind person, he still tried his best to help Shang Ji.
After bidding farewell to Qin Wei, Shang Ji set off with his personal guards.
The death camp was not far from Qin Wei's camp, and it didn't take long to arrive.
At the gate of the death camp, dozens of people waited with their necks stretched out.
Seeing Shang Ji bringing them here, the leader immediately stepped out and asked, "Are you the new commander of the Death Battalion, Shang Ji, General Shang?"
Shang Ji stood on the horse, nodded and said: "It is Shang, who is your Excellency?"
At the same time, a personal guard immediately showed Shang Ji's letter of appointment, Tiger Talisman and other identity certificates to everyone.
After a brief inspection, this person completed the necessary procedures, and with a happy expression on his face, he immediately bowed: "Li Tong, acting captain of the Death Battalion for the last general, has seen the general!"
"I've seen the general!" The rest of the people also paid their respects.
Shang Ji got off his horse and helped Li Tong up: "Lieutenant Li, thank you for coming to welcome Shang, it would be a great honor!"
"General, the last general is looking forward to the stars, and I'm looking forward to you! Seven days ago, I learned that the commander-in-chief sent us a new captain. The last general and all his colleagues are looking forward to it day and night!"
Li Tong's eyes were eager, and he said with a slightly whimpering voice.
Others also spoke out,
They are all talking about how to look forward to the general.
Seeing the enthusiasm of the generals in the death camp, Shang Ji felt a haze in his heart. What kind of rotten death camp has become that makes a acting captain look forward to the full-time captain so much!
Li Tong ignored the change in Shang Ji's heart, and still enthusiastically pulled Shang Ji into the camp, and then handed over with a little urgency.
Introduce the generals in the death camp to Shang Ji, and at the same time hand over the management rights of the roster, arsenal, grain and grass to Shang Ji.
After everything was done, Li Tong seemed to have let go of a heavy burden, and he bowed his hands to Shang Ji, and said briskly: "The handover has been completed, and the general will leave here. I hope General Shang will take care of it!"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Shang Ji's reaction, he immediately turned around and stepped on the horse, and ran away with a few personal guards under the envious eyes of everyone.
Shang Ji was dumbfounded, and he didn't react until Li Tong left the camp gate.
"Hey, what's going on here? How did Captain Li Tong leave?" Shang Ji asked in confusion.
"Ah? Doesn't the general know? General Li Tong has been transferred to the Central Army to serve as Sima. As long as the general arrives, General Li Tong will be able to leave this mud... Ugh!"
When talking about the mud pit, one of the generals next to him immediately coughed lightly, and the general who was speaking immediately reacted, stopped talking, and looked at Shang Ji with embarrassment.
The generals in the Death Battalion have already spread the word that the new school lieutenant is not welcomed by the commander-in-chief, and after he has made great achievements, he was dispatched to the Death Battalion. As soon as they arrived, you said that the death camp was a mud pit. If the new captain is a narrow-minded person, these little shoes must be worn!
"Zhang Yue, right?" Shang Ji didn't want to vent his anger on others because of this, he vaguely remembered that Li Tong said that the general's name was Zhang Yue when he introduced it just now.
"It's the last general!" Zhang Yue said helplessly with a bitter face, while the people next to him looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
"You just said that Captain Li Tong was going to be demoted to Sima?"
Zhang Yue didn't know why Shang Ji asked this question, but he still replied: "There is indeed such a thing!"
"Looking at Li Tong's performance just now, is he happy?"
"Naturally Gao...er..." Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment, looking at Shang Ji in embarrassment, not daring to speak.
I'm happy to be demoted, but how bad is the death camp for this to happen? Say you're not happy, are you a fool to be the new captain? You're almost happy and you still say you're not happy!
"The last general... The last general doesn't know!" Being stared at by Shang Ji, Zhang Yue hesitated for a long time, and suddenly a shock came to him, that it would be better for him to end up being stupid than the school captain.
"I don't think you dare, do you?" Shang Ji sighed and said softly.
Although Zhang Yue didn't know what the captain was talking about, but he was definitely right, it was stupid and cute.
"Okay, I know all of you, if you have nothing to do, you should leave first!" Shang Ji waved his hand, motioning for everyone to leave.
Seeing Shang Ji's dispirited look, no one dared to stay here any longer, and immediately bowed and said, "I'll take my leave!"
With that said, everyone slowly withdrew.
"Guo Biao!" Shang Ji said after everyone left.
"The last general is here!" Guo Biao responded immediately.
"Take people down, find out the news in the camp, find out the specific situation in this death camp, pay attention, be careful, don't say anything!"
"The last general takes orders!"
Guo Biao stepped back and took dozens of members of the pro-guards to put on the equipment of ordinary soldiers and went out to inquire about news.
At this time, Shang Ji missed Chen Guan very much. With him around, Shang Ji didn't have to worry about these trivial matters. Chen Guan put the information that might be used on Shang Ji's table!
It's a pity that this is a single-player dungeon, and people cannot be brought in!
Shang Ji sighed helplessly, took the death camp roster, and began to study it seriously.
The records in the roster may not be very vivid and accurate, but it is currently the most comprehensive way to understand the general situation of the death camp.
Roughly flipping through, Shang Ji found that there were 8,632 soldiers in the Death Battalion!
Among them were five Sima, twenty military marquises, hundreds of centurions, and hundreds of village chiefs!
These hundreds of people are normal registered soldiers, not prisoners.
Because of the particularity of the death camp, the prisoners in the camp can only serve as low-level officers at the highest level, just to prevent the prisoners from making trouble!
If a prisoner wants to continue to be promoted, he must first achieve meritorious service and be released from prison before he can go further.
At present, nearly half of the officers in the Death Battalion came from this way. Because Qin Kai prohibited the atonement prisoners in the death camps from joining the normal army, most of those who were cleared of their crimes became middle and low-level officers of the death camps.
Most of the normal officers made mistakes in the ordinary army and were sent to death camps. None of the hundreds of middle and low-ranking officers voluntarily joined the Death Battalion!
Some aspiring ones, like Li Tong before, tried their best to leave the death camps; others became corrupt along with the death camps and became part of it.
From the perspective of military attributes, the morale of the Black Armor Xuanqi army led by Shang Jiqin has remained above 90 all year round, and the morale of several special arms is around 80-90. Most of the ordinary Black Armor troops are between 70-80. Between 40-60, while the death camp is in single digits!
If it weren't for the suppression of the army, this level of morale would collapse on its own without waiting for the war to start!
