Outside the Chengtian Gate was already boiling, it looked a little chaotic, and the young man was so excited that he couldn't help himself, afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and he couldn't wait to go into battle to kill the enemy immediately. Some of the foreign envoys who mingled in the crowd and joined in the fun were the most embarrassing group of people. Their physical characteristics betrayed them, and if they say that they are Tang people, someone has to believe them, right? Caught in the vast sea of the people, everyone is restless. Fortunately, the people of Datang are still relatively rational and inclusive, and there are no real conflicts, but they are also so frightened that these people quickly hide their faces and go back to Honglu Temple to avoid the disaster.

Wailang, an old man in the Ministry of Rites, was old and didn't go out to join in the fun, and when he saw that these people came back so early, he also heard what was going on between his words, and comforted: "Ahem...... Don't be afraid, this ...... This...... Ha ha...... It's a joke, it's just a joke, I, the people of the Tang Dynasty, are still very sensible......"

"Yes...... Be...... Understood, understood. The envoys smiled bitterly in a cold sweat to show their understanding, what could they do if they didn't understand? Nowadays, the streets are full of frenetic people, and this is the safest place to be.

As soon as the words fell, I heard someone outside the wall shouting: "Goguryeo has always been disrespectful to me, I heard that the envoy of Goguryeo is in Honglu Temple, let's rush in and teach him a lesson, okay?" ”

The old man was speechless and said embarrassedly: "Laughing, laughing." ”

At this time, another sentence came: "Nonsense, if the two countries are at war and don't kill each other, how can a big country not have this belly?" ”

The tears of the Goguryeo envoy were about to flow out, he couldn't agree anymore, he couldn't bear the fear anymore, nodded like garlic, looked around in fear, for fear that someone would really rush in, and said continuously: "You're right, right, laughing, laughing......"

"Goguryeo insulted me Datang, damn it, deserve to die! What morality do you tell them? Let's beat it up first! ”

The legs of the Goguryeo envoy couldn't help but tremble, and this time he really didn't listen to the call, and his teeth were rattling. The old man sat beside him and said with a smile: "The young man is strong-blooded, nonsense and outspoken, it can't be true, national affairs, His Majesty and the princes of the court are in charge, and the Tang Dynasty Wang Shi pays attention to the famous teacher, who is unjust, and will not use swords and soldiers." ”

The Goguryeo envoy's face turned pale, and he trembled and said, "Yes, yes, I know, I know." ”

The old man looked at him, and the old god took a glass of wine on the ground, and said in his heart that he had lived so big, and it was the first time he had seen the envoys of Goguryeo so out of shape, but it should be like this, so as to show the majesty of the Heavenly Empire.

This night's carnival was tossed until dawn, and in hindsight, no one knew why they were so enthusiastic, anyway, seeing others screaming as if catharsis, the whole person became hot, this herd effect lasted for half the night, and finally with the exhaustion of physical energy, they went home, they should eat, and they should sleep.

The queens, concubines, and princesses couldn't bear the crazy atmosphere, so they went back to the palace to sleep at night, but it was so noisy outside, and few could sleep.

When the dawn cleared the black fog, Li Shimin was still interested, his voice was a little hoarse, seeing the deserted palace walls and the tired forbidden army, princes, princes, relatives, ministers, etc., he shook his spirits and said to Li Mu: "The captain who talks about martial arts wants to be rewarded, and you also want to be rewarded, you have done this errand well, I am satisfied and happy, let's say, what do you want?" ”

Li Mudao: "Even if the minister is settled, there is nothing missing, I don't know what His Majesty plans to reward the martial arts hall?" ”

Li Shimin was in a very good mood, and said with a little tiredness: "All the rank and rank of the official will be promoted by one level, and the reward will be 10,000 gold." As for the captain, I couldn't make up my mind for a while. ”

Li Mu slandered in his heart, 10,000 gold is 10,000 copper coins? A thousand wen is consistent, and ten thousand gold is ten yuan of money. You don't know what the salaries of the officials of the martial arts hall are, and you can get ten yuan of money?

However, no matter how few flies and legs are, they are still meat, not to mention ten times, Li Mu did not dislike it for a penny, and said: "It is not appropriate to give the captains the title of knight, they have their own future, they should make contributions by themselves, and it is very inappropriate to make a wish for the official with a proofreading." Otherwise, since they are the Son of Heaven's own army, Your Majesty must give them a title, why not make a coat of arms and let them wear it day and night as a sign of respect? ”

Li Shimin smiled and said, "I understand what you mean, but there is no precedent for how this coat of arms is made!" ”

"The minister has already designed it for His Majesty." Li Mu took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, on which there was a figure he drew with charcoal: "Your Majesty, please look at this thing, this thing is called epaulettes, which are divided into three colors: gold, silver and bronze, and distinguish between grades. Each big rank is divided into several small grades, a bar is a grade, these two crossed straight knives, indicating the type of sergeant, the bow and arrow represent the archer, the knife represents the foot soldier, etc., the view is clear at a glance. ”

Li Shimin yawned, stayed up for most of the night, how could he not be sleepy, stretched out his hand to copy the silk cloth in Li Mu's hand, and said, "Okay, I will take a good look and give you a clear decree when I turn back." ”

Li Mu thanked him, and Li Shimin said: "You are also tired, go home and rest, Gao Gan, go, arrange a vehicle to send Li Mu back." ”

As soon as he got into the carriage, he was sleepy and hungry, and he took a nap in a daze, and heard that there were soup cakes sold on the street, Li Mu tried to open his eyes, took out an ingots from his sleeve and threw them out, bought a bowl of soup cakes and ate them with a slurp, when he used to be in the Ministry of Industry, he often ate soup cakes in the West Market, but since he founded the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he tossed this year, it seems that he has not tasted soup cakes for a long time, and he has eaten a bowl, but there are quite a lot of memories that surface.

The revelry crowd dispersed, and the streets were littered with garbage. Li Mu looked out from the curtain of the car and said angrily: "Why hasn't the chengguan brigade gone out on the streets, caught these people who threw garbage, and then hit five boards first, the overall quality of the people still needs to be improved!" ”

After thinking about it, the spirit was immediately sublimated, as if all the virtues in the world were possessed in the body, and there was a sense of accomplishment that overlooked all living beings; Throwing out the chopsticks containing the soup cakes and falling into pieces, Li Mu reclined on the cushion in the carriage contentedly and fell asleep.

I don't know when he went home, I don't know who helped him into the bedroom, anyway, when he woke up, he was already sleeping in Jin Chen's room, his shoes were off, his clothes were changed, he stretched his waist, his head was still a little groggy, and he suddenly remembered something, ah, ah, but his eyes were confused, and he still didn't remember what he was going to do.

Over there, Jin Chen came over with a bowl of sobering soup, handed it to Li Mu with both hands, looked at his appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "What's wrong?" Forgot something? ”

Li Mu took two sips of decanting soup and said, "I just feel that I don't seem to have something to do today, but I can't remember it for a while." ”

Jin Chen wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Don't think about it if you can't think of it, anyway, even if you think about it, it's useless, and you can't do things at this time." ”

Li Mu couldn't help but ask, "Why is this?" ”

Jin Chen couldn't help laughing, and came over to dress Li Mu while saying, "You still ask, how many people slept in the city last night?" What can I do when I sleep at home? ”

Li Mu thought about it, and smiled awkwardly: "That's right, but it's my negligence." ”

What Jin Chen said is not wrong at all, in Chang'an City today, the streets are very deserted, and they are lively in the evening, as if day and night have been reversed.

This kind of scene is really unprecedented, but when I think of last night's nonsense, everyone laughs, I only feel a little crazy but I don't think it's too much.

After sleeping for a day, people were in good spirits again, Chang'an City inherited the good tradition of no curfew last year, people came and went on the streets, everyone met, and greeted them: "Can you go to Chengtianmen last night?" "It seems that going to Chengtianmen to watch the ceremony and seeing the captain of the martial arts hall is an extremely glorious thing, and I have to brag about it.

However, the city management on the street and the martial marquis patrolling the street all seem a little listless, they are majestic and tight on weekdays, and they have their own halo in front of the people. But now, compared with the captains last night, it is really a heaven and an earth, and there are many rumors of all kinds, all in all, many people look at them with less awe and more contempt worth playing.

And at this moment, Li Mu also remembered what he wanted to do but hadn't done yet. He also has to write the course regulations of the martial arts hall, when to learn literature, when to practice martial arts, these things have to be decided by him. But even if he remembered it at this time, he couldn't do it, because there were many guests at home.

For example, Fang Yiai, Du He, Li Chongyi and others are here, and half of the urban management brigade has basically arrived. They came for only one purpose, to enter the lecture hall to study.

When Li Mu enrolled students, he promulgated the charter, but he did not let go of these people who already had official positions. But when he left Chang'an for Luoyang that day, he invited these people to dinner, and once mentioned the words of the eldest husband's meritorious service. Today, these people are holding this sentence to let Li Mu cash it out.

For Li Mu, the more lieutenants in the martial arts hall, the better. And these people in the chengguan brigade are also trained, and the overall basic quality is much better than that of his recruitment, Li Mu is willing to let them join, but the chengguan brigade is also very important to Chang'an City, if the mouth is enlarged, they all come to the martial arts hall, and the chengguan brigade will pick a child.

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "I can open some more places to you, but the number is limited." Ugly words are ahead, if you don't meet the standards, no one will come to me, no one will ask me to talk about this matter. ”

Everyone has dealt with Li Mu, knows his character, and says that there is no affection to talk about, that is, there is no affection to talk about, and if you say one more word, I am afraid that you will not be qualified. At that moment, Li Mu arranged a meal, and after eating, he went back to his own home and prepared to participate in the assessment.

The next day, when Li Mu was writing the charter, Li Jing came to visit. Even if Li Mu was entrusted, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of this great general, and hurriedly put down the things in his hand to receive them.

Li Jing is very concerned about the matter of talking about Wutang, and he wants to ask about everything clearly. Li Mu also took the trouble to explain his thoughts to him, and Li Jing also put forward his own opinions from time to time, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became.

Li Mu wanted to ask Li Jing to write a list of precautions for marching and fighting, the purpose was to compile a military textbook, most people in this era are still reading all kinds of art of war, what Sun, Sun Wu is powerful, but it is too general, it can't help to learn, to put it ugly, that kind of art of war book is almost useless, otherwise everyone holds a copy of Sun Art of War to fight, wouldn't it be the reincarnation of Sun?

What Li Mu needs is experience, actual combat experience, and it is precisely this General Li Jing who has the most experience, and when he is in battle, marching, and camping, he can say twenty or thirty times with his fingers.

For example, people need to drink water, and livestock also need to drink water. If the weight of the radiant and the grain and grass go along the waterway, it can also save the transportation capacity of livestock, so the movement of the army should be carried along the river as much as possible, and if there is no water source, the battle will be chaotic before the army is fought.

There is also camping, when camping, there must be an outer ditch outside the wood ploughing, and there must be an inner ditch inside, leaving a large road for the army to assemble and dispatch, and the latrine should be kept away from the water source, and the scouts should be released in time, once the scouts cannot come back in time, they must pay attention, and they must immediately organize the cavalry team to search. When marching, it is necessary to be steady, walk for half a day, and the remaining half of the day should be used to camp and pull out the camp, and there must be personal soldiers to patrol the night as a law enforcement team at night, and those who make noise at night will be beheaded; Otherwise, once the camp is bombed, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In addition, the camping should be on flat land, the water source and the upstream should be arranged to guard the guards, if there is high ground nearby, people should be stationed downstream, livestock drinking water should be placed downstream, people should drink water and wash upstream, before drinking water, lead a cow and horse to drink, no one can take it afterwards, can boil it and drink as much boiling water as possible, and so on.

This knowledge is what the captains should learn, and as for how to use the soldiers, it depends on their own understanding.

There is also a place to camp on flat ground, and to set up guards and sentinels in the water source and upstream, nearby
