To this end, he sent Cao Mingda's cavalry team of more than 30 people to investigate the situation, and in order to avoid any emergency, he also temporarily transferred a number of troops from other units to form a temporary mixed force.

This groundbreaking, has great historical significance, in the history of the military development of the Tang New Army is of great significance in the history of the military development of the Tang Dynasty, its specific composition includes three platoons of musketeers drawn from the first infantry battalion, there are also four rows of spearmen drawn from the third infantry battalion, in addition to a platoon of archers drawn from the archer team, the sword and shield corps also sent a platoon of sword and shield soldiers.

If you count Cao Mingda's cavalry, then the total number has reached about two hundred, and if you look carefully at the composition of this temporary mixed army, then you will find that it is quite familiar with the early Tang New Army, whether it is the number of troops or personnel.

The only difference is that in the early days of the Tang New Army, Li Xuan personally commanded it, and now the two hundred people are Captain Hao Bonian, who is also the deputy commander of the first infantry battalion and the officer of the first team, as the temporary commander.

This appointment is also of great historical significance, as is the establishment of this search team, because this Hao Bonian is only nineteen years old this year.

Of course, the focus is not on his youth, but on his identity, he was born in the Guards, and later received Li Xuan's personal teaching, and was the first batch of professional officers in the Tang New Army who received cultural education and also received the most superficial military education.

Although their education level is still not high, they only stay in the stage of literacy, and although the military education they receive is messy, and even Li Xuan himself does not understand what to teach them, but at least on the surface, Hao Bonian's group of young officers has already shown a completely different temperament from those generals who were born as bandit leaders.

At least on the surface, these young officers and Fang Dongquan and Chen Butcher are more like a soldier, a professional officer!

And Hao Bonian is one of them, smart and good at learning, and diligent in learning, he was already favored by Li Xuan as early as last year.

And this person did not disappoint Li Xuan, he performed quite well during his early tenure as the captain of the musketeers, and later served as the deputy officer of the first musket team, and although Wang Danxu was the officer of the first musket team at that time, in fact, Wang Danxu was in command of all the musketeers of the two teams at that time, so the actual command of the first musketeer team has always been Hao Bonian's responsibility.

So don't look at his young age, he doesn't seem to be obvious in the Datang New Army, but in fact, he is already a senior officer in the Datang New Army, and in terms of commanding the musketeers to fight, Wang Danxu is actually inferior to him.

Some time ago, when the army was greatly expanded in Liushazhuang, the first infantry battalion was established, and the scale of each team was expanded to 100 people, Li Xuan let people serve as the commander of the first musket team, and also served as the deputy battalion officer of the first infantry battalion.

With such a transition as a deputy battalion officer, it will be more convenient and easier to arrange for him to be promoted in the future.

After all, in the army, prestige and seniority are things that need to be paid attention to, and it is impossible for Li Xuan to say that he will climb to the sky in one step, and climb directly from the commander and the team officer to the position of the infantry battalion officer, which will cause many people to be dissatisfied.

And after the transition of the deputy battalion officer, and then such a temporary experience as the commander of the mixed unit, it is logical for Li Xuan to promote him to the battalion officer of the official infantry battalion.

Hao Bonian's ascension made him appear for the first time in front of many soldiers of the Datang New Army, so that those soldiers, especially ordinary soldiers, knew that the senior generals in their Datang New Army were not only Fang Dongquan, Wang Danxu and them, but also Hao Bonian.

This caused a lot of discussion, and the discussion of ordinary soldiers was fine, at most it was just curiosity, but it was a great shock to the other twenty or thirty young officers who were also from the Guards.

Half a month ago, they were promoted collectively, but this promotion was only because of the expansion of the Datang New Army, and everyone was promoted together, and everyone did not distinguish the obvious advantages and disadvantages.

But now, Hao Bonian suddenly became the actual commander of a mixed army and began to lead the army to fight alone, which made many people itch.

They also want such an opportunity, even if this mixed army is only temporary, but the temptation to lead the troops independently is still too great, so that in the next few days, many young officers will hang in front of Li Xuan when they have nothing to do, and seem to say: "Hao Bonian is not the only one who can lead the troops to fight, but also us, brother fights, it is also the top, I am afraid of it myself, let alone the enemy!" ”

Seeing that they were dangling in front of him with nothing to do, Li Xuan was also a little crying and laughing, what kind of fun are they doing, even if they don't do this, Li Xuan has a predetermined plan to promote these people.

Promoting the young professional officers he personally trained was something he had always wanted to do and was doing. As long as it can be completed, then it will be able to complete the replacement of new and old generals in the new army of the Tang Dynasty.

In order to let the officers of the Datang New Army embark on the road of professionalism and quality, he has spent a lot of thought, and he has been preparing for more than half a year, a few months, or more than a year, and he will completely complete this plan.

When he completes the plan, the middle and senior generals in the Datang New Army will be all protégés of the Son of Heaven, and they will be professional officers with cultural and military education.

Otherwise, he would have bothered to be a teacher himself to teach these young officers what they were doing, and he would have the same effect by writing out what he wanted to teach and then finding a literate person to teach them.

He taught in person, didn't he just want to learn from Jiang Guangtou's addiction to being led by teachers and students.

There are Huangpu students in the bald head, and he Li Xuan also has a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and in this sixteenth century, when the relationship between teachers and students is extremely important, these students of Li Xuan are more reliable than Jiang Guangtou's students.

After completing his plan to replace the old and the new, if Huang Xueren, Fang Dongquan, Wang Danxu and these bandit-born generals are not enterprising, then don't expect to be able to continue to lead the army, Li Xuan will give these old people some idle jobs to support them, glory and wealth are indispensable to them, but if you want to lead the troops, don't count on it.

Li Xuan has been moving forward, what he needs is someone who can keep up with him, once someone falls behind, then Li Xuan will not hesitate to abandon it, he will not slow down and wait for them to catch up again.

It's not that Li Xuan is ruthless, it's that the Ming army doesn't give him a chance to slow down!

The Tang Dynasty is now on the verge of collapse at any time, and his Li Xuan's life can be given away at any time, and now he can't even predict how long his new army of the Tang Dynasty can last, and how long he can live, maybe three months or half a year, maybe a year or two, or maybe he will be defeated in a few days, and then he Li Xuan will naturally not be able to live.

On the road of rebellion, Li Xuan is destined to drive the chariot of the Tang Dynasty faster and faster, and those who can't keep up with the speed of the chariot will be left behind.

This chariot is getting faster and faster, and only the throttle has no brakes, and the road is still a crooked downhill road, whether it will overturn halfway is only known to God.

But people who are a little sensible know that the possibility of the Tang Dynasty's chariot overturning is quite quite quite a lot, well, there are many quite large, if you have to say how many, it is an uncertain number, because no one knows.

After all, the person who drove the chariot of the Tang Dynasty was Li Xuan, a novice rebel, and he was not a skilled old driver like Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Xuan didn't even have a rebellion license, but now he was driving without a license, how to grasp the steering wheel and step on the accelerator, all of which were learned on the way to drive.

Such a person drives such a car that doesn't even have brakes, and it is in tatters, if you want not to overturn, you really have to ask all the gods and Buddhas in the East and the West!

It's a pity that Li Xuan is a staunch communist successor and never believes in gods and Buddhas!

When he was very young, the teacher told him that you are the successor of communism, and at that time he naively thought that there was really a country waiting for him to inherit, for which he had been proud for many years, and whenever someone asked him, he would proudly say, I am the successor of communism, and that tone was basically the same as "the lonely prince".

Whenever someone looks at him like a fool, he is still puzzled, and when he grows up, he realizes that there are more than a billion communist successors like him!

Moreover, there are some different words in front of everyone's successor title, such as 'leadership successor', 'worker successor' and 'farmer successor'.

However, although he did not become the successor of the communist leader, he did not expect that after his soul was pierced once, he would inherit a Tang Dynasty.

Sometimes Li Xuan thinks that the teacher back then really didn't lie to him, and there is really a country waiting for him to inherit!

Thinking about it this way, he stupidly said that he was the successor in the tone of 'Lonely Prince', which was not too wrong.

At least, he still has a country to inherit, and the other billions of people don't have that luck.

But now the country he inherited is facing a new round of crisis, the Ming army that was active in their rear suddenly appeared once two days ago, and disappeared for two days in a row, Cao Mingda led the scouts to search all the surrounding places, but they couldn't find out.

Just when Cao Mingda thought that the Ming army had fled away, on the third day, the news came that the heavy troops of the Tang New Army had been attacked.

This time, the Ming army had the audacity to attack the main grain transport team of the baggage battalion, and the grain transport team had a team of baggage soldiers and more than 100 people.

The attacking Ming army had just rushed over, and an officer of the heavy battalion of the Datang New Army who led the team had formed a tight formation.

Those Ming soldiers saw that there was no bargain to buy, and soon took the initiative to retreat.

And this time there was no actual fighting attack, and it was also the first time that the new army of Datang knew what kind of people they needed to deal with, the general who led the army was very young, and he looked like he had not dried up, and there was a veteran general by his side to assist.

At the same time, this Ming army also hung a flag representing the main general, with a big character on it: Zeng!

When Zeng Ziwen heard the specific report of the front-line soldiers, his mood was like being uproared by a dog: Nima, that's Lao Tzu's younger brother, or kiss!
