Chapter 626 Beijing Camp competition

In September, the Inner Real Estate Department issued an order to make clear provisions for the speculation of house prices by some merchants hoarding houses in real estate transactions, limited to one month, and the hoarded houses should be immediately out, and each household is limited to three properties; and it clearly stipulates that the real estate transaction tax increment system. For extra properties other than the three properties, each more shou will produce one, and the property tax paid will increase in turn. The first set shall be increased according to the tax rate of thirty to one, and then shall be increased to twenty to one, fifteen to one, ten to one, and two to one is the maximum limit.

As soon as these two orders were promulgated, the real estate speculators immediately cried. The real estate speculators, including rich businessmen from all over the country, hoarded a large amount of real estate on hand and were ready to rise to a high price. At this time, they had to sell shou within a month and bear a lot of taxes. Many people ended up losing money. The court In the month from September to October, the property transaction tax soared by 1.6 million taels, which was taken out of the pockets of these real estate speculators.

Many people in Beijing participated in it, but most of them only have the ability to buy two or three properties. Song Nan skillfully bypassed this hurdle, taking three properties as the base, which is equivalent to releasing many officials. The rich financial resources are the fathers and relatives, led by Xu Guangzuo, and several of the marquis of the Beijing camp have hoarded ten. Several shops and houses were sold within a month. After a calculation, they invested more than 100,000 taels, and finally lost tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Everyone knows that it is Song Nan's technique, but the secret public opinion is about the stupidity of the Marquis Xunqi. At the August court meeting, Song Nan actually named Xu Guangzuo and the people who hoarded real estate. They were not alert at all. Instead of throwing away the hoarded real estate in their hands, they took advantage of the opportunity that house prices were still soaring. I ate a lot. It was the last few houses and shops that I ate. The amount of tax was frighteningly high and didn't make much money, which made me lose tens of thousands of taels.

A group of people secretly gathered together to scold Song Nan and hate Song Nan to the bone, but they didn't know that this was only Song Nan's first step to deal with them. If the punishment of hoarding house speculators was to beat rabbits and teach the marquis a lesson by the way, what Zhengde announced at the end of September was that Song Nan officially launched an advance against the regimental camp. Attack.

In the early morning of September 29, Zhengde announced that he would inspect the soldiers of the Beijing camp in October. This was the practice of the imperial court. Every year, the emperor would take time to inspect the Beijing camp to boost the morale of the soldiers of the Beijing camp. Before the end of the year, he would pull several guards to the suburbs of Beijing to participate in direct training.

However, there are two differences in this year's review. Zhengde said that after the review, the Beijing battalion combat training will be carried out. All Beijing battalions in Beijing will participate in combat training to review the combat strength of the Beijing battalion, understand the training and combat capabilities of Beijing battalion soldiers, find shortcomings and solve problems.

The second difference is that this review transferred the Weiyiwei, Bazhou Weiyiwei, Xuanfuyiwei, and the fourwei foreign troops to participate in the Beijing camp combat training, which is called to learn from each other's strengths, but in fact, they consciously want to see who is stronger and weaker the fighting power between the four guards and the Beijing camp.

As soon as the imperial edict was promulgated, it immediately became the top priority for discussion in the court. The departments of the Beijing camp and the marquises in charge also turned their grief into strength and left the loss of a large amount of money behind. This time, the emperor came to a new pattern and came to the Beijing camp to fight a big competition. If the soldiers and horses he led were beaten rare. Ba Roan, that's not good; face is second, maybe the position of admiral is not guaranteed. With the position of admiral, he, the marquis, is right, otherwise he can only stand aside.

Xu Guangzuo also attaches great importance to it. This is the first inspection of his governor's regiment. How is the combat strength of the regiment? Whether the emperor can be satisfied or not directly determines whether he can stay as the governor of the regiment camp for a long time. Since Jiao Zhengtai and Gao Hu openly got together with Song Nan, Xu Guangzuo has gained some benefits instead. The marquis spontaneously united around him, and their rejection of themselves has also been much smaller before. If they can take this opportunity to perform well again, they may make these rebellious guys really tame. .

These suggestions were initiated by Song Nan. This is a test made by Song Nan on the possibility of reshuffling the Beijing camp pattern. If you want to master the transformation of the Beijing camp, you must first overturn them and trample their high dignity under your feet, otherwise these stubborn and incompetent guys will not be able to accept it. Recognize their incompetence.

Song Nan has been preparing for this for two years. From the day the establishment of the Shenshu camp, Song Nan and Jiang Bin and Xu Tai's training goal is to eliminate most of the unqualified generals and soldiers of the former old 3,000 battalions, and re-enlarge them to 10,000 soldiers of the Shenshu camp, most of whom are recruited civilian children, without the original old The rotten old spirit of the 3,000 battalions, and the current Shenshu camp has long been full of vitality and vitality.

Except for some of the low-level middle-level officers of the Shenshu Battalion who were transferred from the brocade guards as the backbone, most of the rest were promoted from soldiers. At the time of the rebellion of the Ping'an King, they promoted a group of brave and resourceful combat, and also promoted many trained tops in their daily training.

Song Nan seems to care about the Shenshu camp. In fact, Song Nan allows Xu Tai and Jiang Bin to play a role. One of them is a person in Weizhou and the other in Xuanfu. They have been fighting with Tart real swords for more than ten years. They have extremely rich combat experience. Song Nan is ashamed of this. Song Nan is not even as good as Song Nan's means of fighting. So Song Nan will hardly interfere with them.

What Song Nan can give is external support. For example, the pay rate of the soldiers of the Shenshu Battalion is lower than that of the Shenji Battalion and the regimental Battalion. Song Nan ran to the military headquarters for several times before winning the same benefits. For example, the supply of armor, weapons and other materials has always been the last of the Shenshu camp. Song Nan also tried his best to fight for it. When the Shenshu camp was established, he wore old armor, held rusty swords, the field tents were tattered, and the animals that pulled military supplies were thin and invisible.

In terms of training, Song Nan naturally put forward a lot of suggestions. After all, he also led several battles. In addition, his hundreds of years of experience is not in vain. He has also learned a lot of training methods in those war films in later generations. Song Nan racked his brains to recall these training methods. Jiang Bin and Xu Tai chose to adopt them. Projects such as long-distance running, wild survival, capture fighting, observation of lurking, etc. have been implemented, and strictly trained in terms of physical fitness, ability, willpower and other aspects. Now the soldiers of the Shenshu Battalion are thin and dark, not looking strong, but they can feel their differences from their eyes and temperament.

For a thousand days of raising soldiers, all this is about to see the truth in this Beijing camp competition. Song Nan can't help but be very nervous. Because he cares too much, Song Nan seems to feel more nervous than several expeditions.

The closer the preparation time of the month, the atmosphere in the Beijing camp will be more tense and solemn. During this period, the princes of the regiment camp also risked their lives, dragging their fat bodies, staring at the hot sun, wiping the sweat of their fat faces and training with their subordinates on the school field. Practice; shouting through the voice, shouting and scolding, and the whip squeaked. Soldiers are usually relaxed and can't stand it under high-intensity training. Hundreds of soldiers in the lobby of the hospital in the Beijing camp are even fainted due to heatstroke or physical in the hot weather.

Zhengde was extremely interested in this kind of dancing to get the best. He even proposed to lead a battalion to participate in the big martial arts competition, which was easy to say before Song Nan gave up the idea. Zhengde led the troops to participate in the martial arts competition, so is this big competition still meaningful? In the end, it was Zhengde's soldiers and horses who dared not let the emperor win?

After Zhengde's idea was frustrated, he turned to concentrate on the rules and match of the Beijing Camp competition. I have to say that Zhengde's brain is still enough. It took him seven or eight days to modify the planned rules and the plan of the match.

On September 26, the third day before the martial arts competition, Zhengde summoned all the generals of the Beijing battalion and the officials of the Ministry of War to make final revision and determination of the plan, synthesize the opinions of all parties, and finally establish the plan.

The rules are very simple. With the Beijing camp and the four foreign guards mobilized as units, each guard select 500 elite soldiers to participate in the test. The comparison is divided into three rounds. The first round tests the ability of each battalion to attack the city, and the second round tests the defense ability of each battalion. One or two rounds are also combined into one. One of the two draws is the attacking side and the other is the defensive side. In two rounds, the winner enters the next round until the final victory. The third round is the highlight, which tests the ability of two encounters in the field. They also draw their opponents by drawing lots and fight in a team on the campus field of Beijing and Peking University. The winner enters the next round of lottery. Each camp has points, and the winner is the one with the highest accumulated points.

This plan has been unanimously approved by everyone. The difference lies in the combination of arms. The proportion of horsemen can be agreed, but whether firearms and arms need to play has caused controversy. In particular, Shenji Camp, a Beijing camp that is good at firearms, is really difficult to compete with the general combat ability.

One of the original rules is a simulated blocking battle, which is the strength of being equipped with firearms, but if firearms are used, Shenshu Camp will naturally be the first. They not only have firecrackers but also cannons. Who can compare with them? Besides, once the firearm is on the field, there will be casualties in the next two confrontations. If the use of firearms is cancelled at this time, there is no need to participate in the Shenji Camp. After all, in the ordinary Beijing camp, it can be decided by fighting only with wooden knives and wooden swords stained with red and black powder paint.

At the strong request of Xu Guangzuo and the marquises of the regiment camp, Zhengde finally had to agree that the Shenji Camp did not participate in the competition, but only performed firearms shooting, cannon bombardment and other projects during the inspection. After the review, a hundred-person judging group was selected to participate in the judgment of the victory or defeat.

For Song Nan, it seems that the sharp weapons at hand are useless, and she has suffered losses before she takes action.
