Chapter 51: Raising Your Own Soldiers
Coming to everyone, Li Jing took the towel handed by the general, wiped off the sweat, and said seriously: "It is indeed a military training technique, although the other equipment has not been assembled, but looking at its drawings, you can deduce the effect." The soldiers trained with these equipment will definitely not lose to the armies of the camp, the tiger and leopard cavalry, and the like! ”
Just when the generals and the emperor were excited, Li Jing changed his words again: "But in the same way, this kind of exercise is the most physically demanding. If you only eat rice, you can't stand the toss. At least, the prince's military training skills cannot be extended to the entire Tang Dynasty army in a short period of time. ”
"That's right."
Li Shimin touched the chin of his beard, and just when Li Jing affirmed the prince's military training skills, he was already dreaming of leading this army to the end of the sky. However, later words, poured a basin of cold water on him.
No wonder the number of Lu Bu's trapped camp and Cao Cao's tiger and leopard riders is not very large.
Just imagine, even if the imperial court personally pays for it, how many such elites can be cultivated? What's more, with the current system of government soldiers, it will not necessarily be a good thing to promote it.
Seeing that his father was touching his chin, Li Chengqian suddenly panicked.
This bastard, he shouldn't be thinking about killing!
Looking at those helpless craftsmen, Li Chengqian hurriedly said loudly: "Father, the son has made arrangements for this matter, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”
Li Shimin turned his head, lowered his head again, looked at his son, and said, "But it's okay to talk about it!" ”
Li Chengqian pointed to the craftsmen and said: "These craftsmen are all involved in the production of equipment, and it can be said that they already have some experience. Since the father is worried about leaking secrets, it is better to simply list them as the overseers and entrust them all with the production in the future. The pro-soldiers of the sons can also break away from the government soldier system, as an existence between the government soldiers and the generals, no longer go home to farm, and accept unified management. And the skill of military training, it is speculated that it is not as good as seeing it with your own eyes, and how about waiting for the results of the training of these pro-soldiers of the sons and ministers, and then accept the review of the father? ”
After saying it in one breath, Li Chengqian looked at his father expectantly. He was really afraid that this person would suddenly have a brain twitch and come up with a secrecy measure or something.
Surprise....
A stunned expression appeared on everyone's face, they didn't expect that in such a short period of time, the prince actually had a full set of arrangements.
Break away from the government soldier system and become an existence between the government soldier and the family general?
Will these craftsmen be overseers?
If they didn't clearly know that the crown prince was only seven years old, they would all wonder if this was an arrangement made by Fang Xuanling.
Think about the children in my family who are also six, seven or eight years old, who are still worrying my husband and smirking with snorting bubbles.
The royal bloodline is really so powerful?
Li Jing had already been mentally prepared, he was the first to nod and said, "This arrangement is good, Weichen seconded it." ”
One after another, the generals also seconded the proposal.
Li Shimin also nodded, and said: "Let's arrange it like this, set a three-year deadline for the time being, and after three years, I will take the Xuanjia Army to personally test the results of this team." ”
The Xuanjia Army was an army personally organized by Li Shimin, and the whole army was only more than 4,000 people. Whether it was the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass or the pursuit of Xue Rengao and Liu Wuzhou, this team showed extraordinary combat effectiveness.
Different from Li Chengqian's training method, the strength of the Xuanjia Army is mainly reflected in equipment and tactics. The Xuanjia soldiers and horses are all dressed in full armor, although they are not invulnerable, but they will not lose much in the rain of arrows. Tactically, the Xuanjia Army has its own unique combat methods. Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin were once members of the Xuanjia Army, leading soldiers as captain-like figures. Each team fights separately from each other, but can also cooperate in raids. Even though it was the tenth year of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty at this time, the great reputation of the Xuanjia Army still made everyone admire.
With such an army as an opponent, you really want to think of it!
Although he was slandered, Li Chengqian still nodded and agreed: "I will not disappoint my father!" ”
Li Shimin laughed, as if he glanced at Li Chengqian with pity.
It can be seen that Li Shimin is full of confidence in his Xuanjia army.
Fang Xuanling, who was on the side, smiled at the right time: "Your Majesty and the crown prince are fighting because of this, it must be a scene that everyone in the world is happy to see!" ”
Everyone laughed, and the hearts left by yesterday dissipated a lot.
That's what the Turks look like. This is also that Datang was caught off guard, otherwise, it may not be known who will kill the deer!
With Fang Xuanling here, the relevant system was quickly formulated.
The 2,000 people of the prince's personal army have been given the title of "prince's personal rate", Yu Tai is still the general led by the prince's personal leadership, but Li Chengqian's various subordinate positions are in the final hand, and he only needs to report to the military department when the time comes. Personally leading soldiers to break away from the government soldier system, becoming a soldier, has become a kind of work, until the time of vacation, not allowed to go home without authorization, violators beheaded. However, correspondingly, they also have one more benefit than other government soldiers, that is, soldiers' salaries. But how much is the salary and how to distribute it, Fang Xuanling did not work it out, or deliberately did not work it out.
Now that the prince's private money has been made public, no one is not greedy for the prince's small money. How can I say it, the prince uses his own money to support his own soldiers, as a matter of course!
As for the craftsmen involved in the manufacture of utensils, they were officially incorporated into the superintendent, and the specific adaptation had to be combined with the actual situation, and the decision was made after discussing with Yan Lide, the master craftsman.
The craftsmen who were in a panic didn't expect that this time it was not a disaster, thanks to the blessing of the prince, their status was actually improved again. The same craftsmen, the craftsmen who will serve as supervisors, have a reputation that is not much better than ordinary craftsmen.
Frightened away the Turkic invading army and obtained the method of military training, the emperor left Chang'an this time, and he was so satisfied that he didn't even find an excuse to stay for a while, and drove back to the palace directly.
The emperor left, and the army dispersed, but the forbidden army remained. After the equipment of the prince's military camp was completed, they had to "escort" these craftsmen back to Chang'an to report to the general prison.
Faced with the 2,000 soldiers who were excitedly waiting for the announcement of their salaries, Li Chengqian was extremely helpless.
Yes, the money emperor of the East Palace is no longer interested, but the damn Fang Xuanling only said nothing about the appropriation of the imperial court, and made up his mind to let him raise his own soldiers.
Looking at this group of young soldiers, who are generally teenagers, Li Chengqian knew that they were already an important labor force in their respective families. Now that their right to farm has been abolished, their salaries are almost an important source of income for the family.
Standing on the chair prepared by Yu Tai, Li Chengqian said solemnly: "Gu told you that the old man didn't want the court to allocate funds at all, but he made up his mind to let Gu spend his own money." But ah, for his own soldiers, Lone will never be stingy. Let's talk about it, based on one person's one-year ration, Gu will let you get at least three people's rations. And, as long as you train hard, Lone will increase your rewards. Lonely thought, such a standard is not low, right? ”
To Li Chengqian's surprise, these two thousand soldiers actually knelt on their knees and shouted in unison, "I died for the prince"!
Judging from a few guys who shouted broken sounds, after he weighed it again, he chose a medium standard, which seems to be too high?
