Chapter 804: Down to the Grassroots
"Master, I don't know what requirements you have for the soldiers at this military parade?" Commander of Central China, Lu Guogong Li Xin asked in a low voice.
The twenty-four founding princes of Dahua are important candidates for the control of the Dahua army by the royal family of the Eastern Family, and some of the most important positions in the Dahua royal army are held by these twenty-four founding princes in turn.
Posts such as chief of the general staff, minister of national defense, commanders of the five major military regions, commanders of overseas strategic commands, and commanders of the Strategic Missile Forces have always been held by the other 22 founding princes in addition to Qin Guogong and Yan Guogong.
Coincidentally, the twenty-four founding princes of Dahua are like the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion under Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin.
When Dahua's grandfather rose up in Youzhou, the twenty-four generals under him followed the grandfather until he finally conquered the entire country and established this huge country with boundless territory.
After the establishment of Dahua, the 24 generals who received the greatest credit in the process of founding the country were naturally named the most honorable founding princes, and they were hereditary. Among them, the ancestor of the Fang family, who has the highest military force, was named the Duke of Yan Guo, and took care of the land of Longxing for the great grandfather. Among the twenty-four founding princes, the ancestor of the Ning family, who had the highest resourcefulness, was awarded the title of Duke of Qin and led the Praetorian Guard to defend Tiandu.
Just like the situation when His Majesty Li Er fought the world back then, the most powerful military general under His Majesty Li Er was none other than Qin Qiong, and the most resourceful was the eldest Sun Wuji (Li Jing had not yet submitted to Li Shimin at that time), and these two were also the two most trusted by His Majesty Li Er back then.
The situation of Yan Guogong and Qin Guogong is a bit the same as that of Qin Qiong and the eldest grandson Wuji back then, and they both won the trust of the great grandfather, so these two families were given the most important guarding tasks by the great grandfather. One guards the ancestral home of the royal family, while the other protects the capital of Dahua.
Although the other founding princes are also loyal, they are slightly worse than the Qin Guogong and the Yan Guogong, but these founding princes have also been holding important general positions in the royal army, and until now, the royal army of Dahua is still the most powerful army in the world under the care of the descendants of these founding princes.
Of course, the important general positions of the Dahua Royal Army are held by these founding fathers in turn, and each grandfather can only serve as a general for a maximum of five years in a position, and after serving for five years, he needs to go to other leadership positions.
This rotation system also avoids the situation of one dominant family, and also facilitates the best control of the entire country's troops.
This year's commander of the Central China Military Region is the turn of Li Xinlai, the Duke of Lu.
As one of the founding princes with the longest history of Dahua's inheritance, the heritage of the Lu Guogong family is also unfathomable, but Li Xin, the prince of Lu, is still very polite when facing the grandmaster.
After all, in terms of identity, the grandmaster is the king of Jeju, although the founding prince and the county king are the same in grade, they are both from the first grade, but the king is the king after all, and only the characters of the royal family can be crowned kings.
Although the Grandmaster's Jeju King is a bit bizarre, and the Grandmaster is not from the royal family, his brother is the eldest son of His Majesty. Based on this alone, Lu Guogong had to look up to the grandmaster.
Not to mention that Lu Guogong also knew that in order to hold a military parade, the grandmaster had been given a sword by His Majesty. Although it was not explicitly said that this was Shang Fang's sword, who didn't know what His Majesty meant by this sword given to the Grandmaster!
Your Majesty is clearly announcing to everyone that the Grandmaster is going to do things on behalf of me, so you can watch and do it!
In the face of such a grandmaster, no matter how awesome Lu Guogong is, he has to honestly cooperate with the grandmaster's work.
Lu Guogong's polite words made the grandmaster have to be polite.
"Gong Li, you don't have to be so polite, we are all doing things for Your Majesty, and doing things well is what we should do the most. What do you say?"
Li Xin nodded with a smile and said, "Although this is the case, as a representative of His Majesty, we old guys have to be polite......
"Well, let's not be polite. In this way, since we have already arrived here, then I will tell you about the requirements for soldiers in this parade......" As he spoke, the Grandmaster raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said a little apologetically: "Li Gong, we had better wait for a while, and our Deputy Chief of General Staff and Deputy Minister of Defense will rush over together, and then you will listen to the requirements of all sides." After all, there is a lot of work that needs your cooperation, and if I were alone, I would not be able to accomplish this task no matter what. ”
When Lu Guogong heard this, he said: "That's right, let's wait here now, and I will inform all the division commanders stationed near Tiandu to come over." The area in charge of our Central China Military Region is large, and if you just wander around, you won't be able to finish wandering around for half a month, so let's just focus on the troops near Tiandu today. At the same time, I asked Lao Ning to rush over as well. The selection of soldiers for the parade is indispensable to the Tiandu Garrison, and the elite are all under Lao Ning's hands, and although I am here as the Central China Headquarters, this place is dominated by Lao Ning's soldiers. Lao Ning is here today, you tell him the specific requirements, and you don't have to go to the garrison later, Lao Ning will naturally handle things properly for you. "The Lao Ning that Lu Guogong said is Ning Jun, the Duke of Qin.
The Grandmaster smiled and nodded.
As a commander, Li Xin had a vigorous and resolute spirit, and after he finished speaking, he grabbed the phone and made several phone calls in a row, listening to the calls, and the orders were all directly aimed at the cadres at the division level.
As a matter of fact, as far as Li Xin's identity is concerned, he rarely has direct dialogue with cadres at the division level, and the commanders of the Central China Military Region are usually the commanders of the major group armies under the Central China Military Region.
However, most of the security and defense in the vicinity of Tiandu were done by the troops of the garrison, and the troops of the Central China Military Region near Tiandu consisted of a few mechanized divisions, an air force division, and some other troops.
After waiting for about 20 minutes, the deputy defense minister, the deputy chief of the general staff, and the division commanders all rushed over by helicopter one after another.
The deputy minister of national defense is Zhao Wenze, who has the title of marquis of Hanzhong, and the deputy chief of the general staff is Qian Dezhi, who has the title of marquis of Luling.
When the Grandmaster came to the Central China Military Region Headquarters in the morning, the two of them were having a meeting in their respective departments, and they couldn't come for a while, so the Grandmaster had to come to the Central China Military Region Headquarters by himself. It wasn't until they went down to the grassroots troops with Li Xin that the two of them arrived by helicopter.
Zhao Wenze rushed over by helicopter with the commander of the Tiandu Garrison, Ning Jun, the Duke of Qin.
There were also several division commanders who were far away who also rushed over by helicopter, and division commanders who were relatively close to each other rushed over directly by car.
More than 20 minutes later, seven division commanders came to this conference room that could accommodate more than 20 people, plus the five of them, a total of 12 people attended today's meeting.
