Chapter 239: Expansion of the army and establishment of camps

Li Xuan has seen many people, and he has seen many people angry and even resentful, but he has never seen Ma Wei so angry that he can clearly feel it even if he just speaks in a flat tone.

However, Li Xuan could somewhat understand why he was so resentful!

offended the powerful and was stripped of his reputation and banned from continuing to participate in the imperial examination, and he was even driven out and killed so that his family was ruined, and he was hunted down by the government so that the living people are not like people and ghosts.

This situation is no longer an ordinary hatred, but an undying hatred of destroying the family!

With such hatred, if there was no resentment to be revealed, Li Xuan would have to suspect him of lying.

Li Xuan also understood why he came over to join the Tang Dynasty at this time!

This person has a belly full of resentment, not only hatred for the powerful, but even hatred for the government, I am afraid that he wants to take revenge in his dreams.

But he himself is just a helpless scholar, I am afraid that I can't do it even if I don't want to assassinate him, such a scholar who is full of hatred, and at the same time has no hope of revenge, and is even more forced to a dead end, when he sees that there is a rebel army recruiting in front of him, what will he do?

Eight times out of ten, nine times out of ten, they will choose to join the rebel army and then carry out a vigorous rebellion!

Seeing him, Li Xuan inexplicably thought of those scholars who had taken refuge in a foreign race, and then thought: Maybe this Ma Wei can become his own Fan Wencheng?

But as soon as he thought of this, he secretly scolded himself: Bah, bah, Lao Tzu is not a foreigner, an upright Chinese people, with Yanhuang blood, how can he compare himself with wild boar skin, he is really ashamed of his ancestors!

should think like this: Can this Ma Wei become his own Li Shanchang and Liu Ji?

Li Xuan didn't know if Ma Wei would become his own Li Shanchang and Liu Ji, but he knew that having a serious scholar to take refuge with him today was an excellent thing for pie in the sky, and he could regret it for several months if he missed it.

So he immediately nodded slightly: "Since Mr. Ma has come to my Tang Army, this revenge will be answered for you, and the day my Tang Dynasty waves its troops in Liuzhou is the time for Mr. Ma to take revenge!" ”

After saying that, he looked at Ma Wei again and said: "My Tang Dynasty is still short of a member of the left squire of the military department, I don't know if Mr. Ma is willing to give in?" ”

Hearing Li Xuan say this, Ma Wei's expression finally couldn't maintain the arrogance and indifference of a scholar, and immediately took a deep breath, lifted up the tattered robe and knelt directly on the ground: "Thank you for the grace of my emperor!" ”

A self-proclaimed minister, which can be regarded as a monarch and a minister!

At this time, Li Xuan also couldn't help Ma Wei's dirty and smelly body, and directly stepped forward to help him up: "Aiqing, please get up!" ”

The status of this monarch and minister was determined quite quickly, because before Ma Wei came to surrender, he must have considered it in detail, and he didn't need Li Xuan's persuasion for a long time, which was much more convenient than Yang Xiucai before persuasion.

Ma Wei is a scholar, and he is also a former showman, he knows a lot more about the etiquette of getting along with monarchs and ministers than Liu Bagou and them, and he dared to let Li Xuan personally help him up, and as soon as Li Xuan stretched out his hand, he just stood up.

This made Li Xuan feel a lot more comfortable, this Ma Wei was too dirty, the smell was too bad, and he really asked Li Xuan to put his hand on it and help him, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but vomit.

At this time, Qian Mengjiu said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for getting a good talent and beautiful jade!" ”

Zeng Ziwen, a military general who has read the book, also said in a crepe manner: "Your Majesty, now that Lord Ma is assisting my emperor, my Tang Dynasty will wave the Northern Expedition and sweep Kyushu is just around the corner!" ”

Li Xuan smiled silently, looking like he was under control, as if Ming'er could wipe out Emperor Zhengde with his army.

After Ma Wei got up, he took two steps forward and walked to Li Xuan's side, at this time Li Xuan finally couldn't help it, and said directly: "Come on, take Ma Aiqing to freshen up and change clothes!" ”

Then he said to Ma Wei: "Ma Aiqing will go and freshen up first, and I will have a long talk with you later!" ”

Li Xuan couldn't stand the smell on his body so he went to freshen up, but he had already developed the habit of burying his mind in the bottom of his heart, and easily not letting his courtiers see his true thoughts, even when the Ming army rushed to the city in Zhengtai County, when he was extremely nervous, he still showed a light and indifferent appearance that the Ming army was all scum.

With this pretentious ability, Li Xuan asked himself if he was already rough!

And Ma Wei just saw that Li Xuan was just one side, and he didn't know Li Xuan well enough, and at this time, he thought that Li Xuan really cared about him, so he asked him to freshen up and change clothes, and immediately showed a touched look, and said in a solemn tone: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Immediately, he turned around and walked towards the back with one of Li Xuan's guards, and someone would naturally arrange for him to groom and change his clothes!

After Ma Wei left, Li Xuan took people forward a few steps, and then took a few deep breaths, without Ma Wei, the air became much fresher.

Later, he looked at the recruiting point for about a quarter of an hour, and after looking through the roster of newly recruited soldiers in the past two days, he took everyone back to his Chinese army camp tent.

Because Liushazhuang is a relatively large village, but although the scale is relatively large and the population is large, it is relatively scattered, and it is not concentrated in a walled village like Fengjiazhuang, and the families in Liushazhuang live scattered.

Due to this characteristic of Quicksand Village, it is impossible for Li Xuan to say that he brought all the troops to the wall, because there was no wall at all.

In this case, in order to be able to timely and smoothly launch the troops to escape or meet the enemy, the main force of the troops was stationed in a clearing outside the village, and Li Xuan would never live alone from the troops when he was outside for his personal safety.

So he abandoned the mansions of the big families in the village, and instead lived in a mountain temple on the edge of the station.

Although the accommodation conditions are not very good, but safety is paramount, he does not want to live in those big families with a small number of guards in order to live comfortably, and at the same time, he will not take the army to the quicksand village that is scattered and not suitable for the army to expand in order to live more comfortably.

After returning to the station, Li Xuan continued today's work and discussed with the generals the establishment and training of the army after the expansion.

However, it is said that it is discussed with the generals, but in fact, it is Li Xuan and Zeng Ziwen who are discussing, as for Fang Dongquan and Chen Butcher, you can let them lead people to charge, but it is very reluctant to let them do these complicated things and involve tactical evolution.

But they are also very conscious, and at this time, they usually only listen and don't speak, and they listen very carefully!

Because after the expansion of the troops, it will definitely not continue the current situation in which Li Xuan directly commands the teams, and it is no longer possible to effectively command the troops of thousands of people by continuing to use this method, and Li Xuan has personally proposed a few days ago that a battalion will be set up on top of the team.

The focus of Li Xuan and Zeng Ziwen's discussion was how to organize a battalion to give full play to its maximum combat effectiveness and be the most suitable for today's Datang New Army!

But what Fang Dongquan is concerned about is how many battalions there will be and who will be the battalion commander!.
