In the Tokyo Forbidden Army, if the elite of the soldiers and the strength of the combat power are the only ones under the former division of the palace.

In front of the palace, the horse army iron cavalry ten thousand horses, set the Han horse soldiers, known for their courage and fierceness.

The three armies below the infantry army in front of the palace, the Longqi Army is the old army started by Liu Chengyou; The Xiaodi army is the strongest, it is the first military reform in the Gaozu period, so the whole army is selected to form an army, and after the division of the guard division, it has gone through a round of cutting and strengthening the weak; The slightly inferior inner temple is straight, and it was also selected before it became an army.

Of course, among the Imperial Castles of Tokyo, the more combat-effective ones have to count the renamed Ouchi Army. This army was first when Liu Zhiyuan was proclaimed emperor, and Liu Chengyou was ordered to select the elite Hedong Mabu to control the crane army.

After arriving in Tokyo, it has been built as a palace guard, and the "Imperial Forest Army" at the beginning of the country is by no means a good thing. In the winter of the first year of Qianyou, when the army was reformed and the front division of the palace was established, the "Crane Control Army" was used as the infantry army, and Liu Chengyou later changed the palace guards to the Great Inner Army, which was regarded as the "Great Inner Guard", and the number of soldiers rose to 4,000. The five hundred guards of the Xuanwu Gate are subordinates of the Great Interior.

The original commander was Li Hongyin, the uncle of the country, and after Liu Chengyou was removed from office and seized power, Liu Chengyou was replaced by Gao Huaide, a close general, which was regarded as adding the last layer of insurance to the forbidden palace. Of course, it was Liu Chengyou who was self-righteous.

However, after Gao Xingzhou was transferred to Tokyo and served as the commander of the guards, discordant voices came out in the court, saying that the Gao father and son, one hand to guard the forbidden army and the other to guard the palace guards, had too much power.

This was a turmoil, and it started in the harem, Liu Chengyou noticed it in time and controlled it within a small range. Although he was slightly unhappy in his heart, Liu Chengyou had to admit that since the Gao father and son were relatives, it was indeed inconvenient for them to be the commanders inside and outside the Forbidden Palace, which was not a good thing for either party.

As a result, Liu Chengyou decisively withdrew Gao Huaide, with Zhao Yanjin as the commander of the Great Interior, and his brother-in-law Gao Huaide was transferred to the Longqi Army as the commander of the First Army.

Liu Chengyou went to Xuanwumen this time, in addition to patrolling and guarding and seeing Li Jian, the main purpose was to inspect another army: Fengchen Battalion.

On the side of the Xuanwu Gate, separated by two walls, it was originally a square, and was later transformed into a military camp. The place is not large, but it is extremely mysterious, and there are many novel training facilities in it, which were personally designed by Emperor Liu Chengyou.

A year ago, Liu Chengyou issued an edict to once again draw warriors from the forbidden armies of the two divisions and set up a battalion alone.

This time, compared to the past, there is a clear difference. In terms of selection criteria, a very high threshold is set.

All soldiers should be under the age of 30, six feet long, bear the power of three stones, be good at riding and shooting, fight long, and have more than three years of military experience......

The rules and regulations were framed, and only a thousand people were selected from the hundreds of thousands of internal and external forbidden troops. Thousands of soldiers form a battalion, and these thousands of people can be described as the best of the three armies, and most of them have military positions. It can be said that these soldiers, when they are placed in foreign armies, can be a captain at the very least.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Fengchen Battalion, Liu Chengyou came in person, made a passionate speech, and set a goal for all the soldiers. That is the Fengchen sergeant, to become the most elite armor of the Han Dynasty, go up the mountain to capture the tiger, go down to the sea to ambush the dragon, fearless, all-round warrior.

As for the training of the Fengchen camp, it can be described as strict and complicated. In addition to the cultivation of morale, the training of horse warfare, infantry warfare, water warfare, individual soldiers, and battle battles is all missing, and swords, bows, crossbows, and mounted archery also need to be proficient, and the education of cultural art of war and loyalty and righteousness is also the top priority.

A fully equipped Fengchen soldier, the standard weapons are two healthy horses, a crossbow, and fifty arrows; a bow, thirty arrows; one sword, one long and one short sword; There are also shields, spears, axes, hoes, knives, ropes, etc.

The Fengchen Battalion, nominally, was an army that gathered the elite of the Han army, but in fact, Liu Chengyou used it as a cradle for training officers.

The training plan is rich and heavy, and with the elimination system, so that the corporal and soldiers dare not slack off. Over the course of a year, more than 200 soldiers have been replaced. Among these people, it is difficult to refine the skills of riding and archery, or it is difficult to meet the requirements of battle coordination, or it is difficult to adapt to water warfare, or they simply violate military discipline......

And those who came out of the Fengchen camp and deployed the forbidden army, except for those who violated the law and discipline, at least they were promoted by one level, and there were many who were even promoted by two or three levels.

In order to build such an army, the money, food and energy invested are more than ten times that of ordinary forbidden armies, and it can only be cultivated on a small scale, and the cost of training alone is surprisingly high.

The commander of the Fengchen battalion, Liu Chengyou, chose a man named Wang Yansheng. This person, in the original history, is still very famous, not to mention the lack of character, but when it comes to bravery, there is nothing to say. Rising up in the ranks, his strength is amazing, he has rich combat experience, and Luo Yanbi, who was in Xiangzhou with a military horse to vote for Liu Chengyou, is a good friend, and then he came to vote with him, there is this relationship, and Liu Chengyou is still on the phone.

Wang Yansheng himself is also a ruthless person. At the beginning of the establishment of the Fengchen camp, he was worshiped as a commander, because he did not know the nature of the water, in order to convince the public, Wang Yansheng was soaked in the water for several days, it is said that he almost drowned, and he learned to swim.

Fengchen's deputy commander, named Shi Yanchao, is Guo Wei's old department, especially fierce, among Guo Wei's old department, there is no one more brave than this person. In the camp, he collided with Wang Yansheng, and the two were not convinced.

Fengchen's battalion was divided into left and right, and Wang and Shi Er's generals each led a battalion, which not only fought with each other, but also played a role in encouraging each other. Every month, the big competition is an example for the whole army, and the first to face each other are Wang Yansheng and Shi Yanchao.

Liu Chengyou came quietly, he wanted to enter quietly, but he couldn't do it at all, and he was discovered before he got close to the camp gate.

Without being announced, everything went as usual, entered the camp gate, and under the leadership of a Fengchen officer, he went straight to the school ground.

The school field is still very lively, except for the non-commissioned officers who perform the duties of guarding the sentry, there are 900 people, scattered everywhere, in pairs, into pairs, into formations, holding solid wooden swords and shields, fighting training, this is in the small array combat training.

However, Liu Chengyou was more interested in the fact that on the edge of the school field, about 40 soldiers, shirtless, scattered and squatting, some of them still had bruises. And Wang Yansheng, holding a whip in his hand, walked back and forth between the ranks, constantly scolding angrily in his mouth, kicking the soldier's ass one by one.

There was no kind of retention, everyone was kicked to the ground, and it hurt to look at the fall, but they didn't dare to complain, so they got up and continued to squat.

"Your Majesty, this is today's battle practice, among the teams that did not perform well! General Wang, you are punishing! The officer next to him explained to Liu Chengyou.

Liu Chengyou nodded, didn't say much, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with corporal punishment, this is not an era of talking about human rights, especially in the army.

The Fengchen battalion enjoys the highest treatment in the whole army, and correspondingly, it should also enjoy the same pain and suffering.
