Chapter 218: Sealing
The reception of the Taizhou army went exceptionally smoothly.
Although Xiong Tianbao has commanded the army for many years, his people are mean and unkind, and most of his subordinates are afraid of him and disrespectful.
After Yan Kang's righteousness is in his body, and he shouts in public that he is not to blame for the past, who is willing to die for Xiong Tianbao!
After Xiong Tianbao was beheaded, Wan Yankang left a company of men and horses to clean up the battlefield, and ordered all the equipment of the Xuanjia Army to be stripped away, which was indispensable.
Wan Yankang's idea of building the army, although it is mainly based on cavalry and archery, but with such a batch of ready-made heavy cavalry equipment, only a few hundred horses and warriors need to be singled out, and the Xuanjia army can be formed immediately, so why not.
After completing the 20,000 cavalry in Taizhou, Wan Yankang tied several senior generals such as Wu Han, the deputy general of the cavalry, to his side, and then led the army directly to the west gate of Taizhou.
Outside the city gate, after Yan Kang's urging, Wu Han immediately stepped forward and ordered the door to be opened.
The guards of the West Gate saw Wu Han personally calling the door on the city wall, and saw that the large army of cavalry was followed intact, and he didn't know that Wan Yankang was really the new Beijing Road guard.
Wu Han had just shouted, and the guards of the West Gate immediately opened the city gate to welcome the army into the city.
After Yan Kang entered the city, he hurried to the east gate and ordered to open the city gate.
The other generals at the east gate saw Xiong Tianbao's head, and saw the appearance of the generals in the city who were respectful to Wan Yan Kang, and at this moment they all knew that the people under the city yesterday were really the new left-behind adults, so they knelt down and pleaded guilty.
Only Hu Chi is a tendon, he saw Xiong Tianbao's head, his eyes immediately turned red, and he pounced on Xiong Tianbao to avenge Xiong Tianbao.
The left and right were shocked, especially the generals of Taizhou City, who rushed forward to protect the new master.
When Hu Chi began to pounce, it was only three feet away from Yan Kang. The generals of Taizhou City were fanned out like rag dolls in front of him, and there was no effect of blocking them.
Seeing this, several pro-soldiers drew their scimitars one after another, preparing to work together to slash and kill Huchi.
Wan Yankang stretched out his hand to block: "Stop!" Then he took a step forward and stepped out of the guard.
The generals and colonels in Taizhou were shocked when they saw this.
Hu Qi was overjoyed, and his palm was like a pu fan, obviously with the idea of capturing Wan Yankang in one fell swoop.
Wan Yankang raised his legs.
In the blink of an eye, I only heard a bang, and the snorkel flew out upside down.
The soldiers of White Horse City immediately cheered and applauded, while the generals and colonels in Taizhou City were still ignorant.
Hu Qi got up, pointed at Wan Yankang and shouted, "You used the demon law? ”
Wan Yankang smiled faintly and hooked his finger towards Huqi: "I didn't see it clearly, come again!" ”
Unconvinced, he rushed up again.
Wan Yankang didn't move his legs again this time, but grabbed Hu Chi's fist and gave him an over-the-shoulder throw.
There was a muffled snap, and this fall made the surrounding soldiers tremble unconsciously.
Hu Chi was thrown into seven meat and eight vegetarians, and finally got up.
Wan Yankang walked up to him and asked with a smile, "Are you convinced?" ”
"Not convinced!" Hu Qi gritted his teeth and slammed his fist at the same time.
Wan Yankang gently and skillfully put his fist away, and then blasted the breath away with one punch.
Although it is said to be a tendon, after being beaten for the tenth time, it lies on the ground and refuses to get up again, only humming there.
Wan Yankang knew that it was a manifestation of this reckless man's initial surrender, he laughed, no longer paid attention to this person, and directly ordered the city gate to be opened to welcome the infantry outside the city into the city.
After Xiong Tianbao, the Northeast Road Recruiting Si Xuanfu, was gone, Taizhou City was no longer restrained, and Wanyankang followed the old method, first of all, he had to train and select the army in Taizhou.
Taizhou originally had an army of 60,000, including 20,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry. At this time, when the number of people was counted, there were quite a few cavalry, and there were 10,000 fewer infantry.
As soon as this number was reported, Wan Yankang couldn't wait to resurrect Xiong Tianbao and cut off his head a few more times. Eating empty money is so bold, no wonder this guy wants to poison first, just reveal this bad account, it's no wonder that Wanyan Kang can spare him!
The results of Taizhou's military selection are better than those of other state capitals.
50,000 soldiers, after six days of training back and forth, 15,000 people can meet the standards of soldiers, 10,000 people can serve as government soldiers, and half of them are selected, which makes Wan Yankang a little surprised.
But what is unpleasant is that of the half of the soldiers eliminated, 12,000 of them were originally cavalry.
To train a qualified cavalryman, the money, food, lost horses, etc., all counted, enough to raise ten or eight infantry.
These 12,000 cavalry, although their physical fitness and will are not up to standard, but they are all sent home to plough the fields, then they have to train a new batch of cavalry, which makes Wan Yankang feel a little painful.
However, if this group of people is retained, it will be unfair to the many soldiers eliminated in front, which will inevitably damage the prestige of Yan Kang's initial construction on Beijing Road.
After thinking about it, when he had a headache, Luo Hanhuai proposed a good way.
These 12,000 people will be trained separately for a period of one month, and those who pass will be retained, and the treatment will be calculated according to the government soldiers for the time being!
Wan Yankang smiled with his palms, it was indeed a good way, and he simply appointed Luo Hanhuai as the overseer to train this group of uncompetitive cavalry.
After tossing for more than a month, the overall situation of Beijing Road has finally been decided, but Wan Yankang still can't be idle at all.
First of all, what needs to be done is military reform.
After successfully absorbing the army in Taizhou, except for Gyeongju, a total of 40,000 soldiers and 30,000 government soldiers were obtained on Beijing Road. For these 70,000 troops, Wan Yankang abandoned all the original formations, applied the military structure of White Horse City, and used a large number of his original teams to enrich the middle and high-level strength of the troops.
As far as ordinary non-commissioned officers are concerned, apart from the change in the structure and the change of most of the commanders, the biggest change in the army is that the training intensity is greater and the food and salary are increased.
As a soldier eats food, this slogan has existed since ancient times. As long as you don't have to worry about food and clothing, this group of Qiu Ba, who was born in a bitter haha, is tired of training, and what is it.
What's more, the monthly salary is only a lot more than before!
But for the arrangement of officers, it is a little tricky.
In the process of selecting the original troops in the three prefectures and five prefectures, many officers were also listed, and if it is said that the elimination rate of ordinary non-commissioned officers has reached 50 to 60 percent, the elimination rate of these officers has actually reached 80 percent!
For ordinary soldiers, the main reason why they can't hold on in the continuous high-intensity march is that they are not physically supportive.
But for most of the fat and strong officers, the reason for giving up halfway is that they can't endure hardship.
Almost all the officers who really relied on military merit to fight with a knife and a gun passed the examination. The officers who were eliminated were either the second generation of officials, the second generation of the military, or the younger brothers of the clan.
After these second-generation people who were fighting in the army were eliminated, they were also indignant at the beginning, and it can be seen that after Yan Kang's bloody methods in Linhuang Mansion, they all pinched their noses and confessed.
Without wearing that military uniform, grandpa lived a much more comfortable life, and many people comforted themselves so much.
However, with the completion of the reorganization of the entire Beijing Road, more than 500 middle and high-level officers have been eliminated, and with the promotion of people with intentions, a large-scale petition activity in Beijing has been vigorously launched!
Hundreds of eliminated officers knelt outside the palace.
Countless excerpts against Yan Kang were piled up on the old emperor's desk.
Unauthorized change of the military system! Indiscriminate killing of the minister!
Stand outward! Great rebellion!
These are the most fatal crimes among the dozens of crimes listed in the countless complaints.
Wan Yan Jing lay on the Luohan bed in the upper study, leaning on Li Shi'er's soft chest, while listening to Ma Kubo reciting the recital.
After Ma Kubo read seven or eight copies, Wan Yanjing asked impatiently: "Sue and sue, are all these?" ”
Ma Kubo bowed and said, "Enlighten the Holy One, that's exactly the case. ”
Wan Yan Jing smiled: "My grandson, what kind of folds do you have?" ”
Ma Kubo replied: "The emperor's grandson put on an excerpt yesterday, and the slave maid was about to read it to the saint." ”
Wan Yankang sighed: "Is it a pleading?" ”
"According to the slave and maid, it is not like a person who asks for sin, but like a person who asks for merit."
"Read it and hear it!"
Ma Kubo took out Yan Kang's recital on the side and began to read: "Imperial grandfather Wanshou Jin'an, since his grandson took office, adhering to the policy of streamlining the administration of the army, after two months, the Beijing Road has been rectified, and within five years, it will be able to pacify Shuofang and live up to the name of the general of Peking University!" Live up to the trust of the emperor's grandfather! ”
After listening to this, the old emperor pondered for a long time, and asked Ma Kubo to read it again. After a while, he asked slowly: "Aifei, how credible are you saying about my grandson's words!" ”
Li Shi'er gently pressed the old emperor's head, and said softly: "Military affairs, the concubine is a woman, but I don't understand. ”
Li Shi'er paused, and then said: "But according to the concubine, the words of my own family are more reliable than what outsiders say. ”
After speaking, Li Shi'er smiled again and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine has newly learned a Jiangnan song, sing it to you?" ”
After Yan Jing hummed, Li Shi'er began to sing.
When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky......
Wan Yan Jing listened, slapped Li Shi'er on the buttocks, and said with a smile: "Ai Fei, aren't you singing Su Bearded Nian Nujiao, how did you become a newly learned Jiangnan song." ”
Li Shi'er snorted: "Your Majesty, isn't Su Dabeard a Jiangnan person, and his lyrics are not Jiangnan songs." ”
Wan Yanjing smiled: "Okay, good, good, what you said is right, concubine!" ”
Ma Kubo looked at the two of them flirting and scolding, and maybe they would get up in this study later, so they retreated without a trace.
Wan Yan Jing listened to the song, picked up a copy of Yan Kang's recital from time to time and looked at one or two, and after reading it, he picked up the recital on Yan Kang and read it carefully.
Unauthorized change of the military system! Indiscriminate killing of the minister! Stand outward! Great rebellion!
Within five years, calm Shuofang!
The words of one's own family are always more reliable than those of outsiders......
After Yan Jing thought about it again and again, Li Shi'er sang seven or eight songs, he suddenly sat up and shouted to the outside world: "Ma Kubo, hurry up and get in, give me a plan!" ”
"Yes!"
"Crowning Emperor Sun Kang, Northeast Road to recruit Si Xuanfu!"
