Chapter 54: Wang Maozhong panicked
It's really not amazing!
Question the combat effectiveness of the Right Weiwei, question the ability of the Right Weiwei General Gao Guangji, question the level of the Right Weiwei General, and even doubt the overall strength of the Central Forbidden Army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
These four questions, when Pei Min said them, instantly frightened Wang Maozhong and Gao Guangji.
Li Longji was also shocked, with a little unease.
The Central Forbidden Army is an army directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor and serves as a guard for the emperor, the imperial palace, and the capital.
The Sixteen Guards of the Southern Ya, the Ten Thousand Cavalry, the Yulin Army, and the Longwu Army all belong to the Central Army.
In order to maintain the majesty of the emperor, the number of the central forbidden army has been maintained at about 150,000, which is the core strength of the Li Tang Dynasty.
This is also the army that Li Longji really has in hand, as for the military power in the hands of the Jiedu envoys such as Pinglu, Fanyang, Shuofang, Hexi, Anxi, Hedong, and Longyou, although they are also the military horses of the Tang Dynasty, there is no doubt that the power mobilized is in the hands of the Jiedu envoys.
Pei Min openly questioned the strength of the Central Forbidden Army, which was almost equivalent to doubting the hard power in Li Longji's hands.
Pei Min also knew that saying this was almost equivalent to revealing Li Longji's scars, but he had to say so.
How did the Tang Dynasty fall?
It is because the central army is too weak, and the power of the feudal towns is too strong, which directly leads to the weakness of the ministers and the king.
How tempting is the throne of the Son of Heaven, and the strength of the border commander is even higher than that of the king, who can guarantee that there will be no dissent?
And the key to the border marshal becoming big is Li Longji's dynasty, because Li Longji is greedy for pleasure, the civil and military officials in Beijing, and the civil and military generals are drunk and dreaming of death, which leads to the extremely low strength of the Central Forbidden Army and the defeat of the First World War.
An Lushan was able to sweep through most of the Tang Dynasty with a sweeping momentum, forcing Li Longji to flee to Xishu for refuge.
One of the main forces to quell the Anshi Rebellion was the Anxi Army led by Li Siye, the Shuofang Army led by Guo Ziyi, and the Hedong Army led by Li Guangbi.
It can even be said that in the entire Anshi Rebellion, Li Tang's core force, the Central Forbidden Army, did not have any merits, and was in a state of rout and fleeing throughout the whole process.
Why did An Lushan dare to rebel!
It's not that An Lushan is born rebellious, but that the strength in his hands far surpasses that of Li Tang's Central Forbidden Army, and in his opinion, the world is at his fingertips. He is a Hu person, and he has no loyalty to Li Tang at all, why not rebel?
The fate of the Central Forbidden Army's lack of deterrent strength is too terrible, Pei Min intends to stop the occurrence of the Anshi Rebellion, since he is aware of the problem of the Central Forbidden Army, even if it is contrary to his advice, he must say.
It is not only for the overall situation, but also for Li Longji's sincerity.
"You, Pei Min, what nonsense are you talking about! What do you want to do, rebel! Wang Maozhong was completely angry and yelled at Pei Min angrily to cover up the panic in his heart.
Wang Maozhong has always regarded himself as Li Longji's first confidant, and Jiang Jiao, Gao Lishi, Pei Min, Yang Siqiao and the like cannot be compared.
Li Longji is indeed very good to Wang Maozhong, and he has a series of titles such as General Auxiliary Guo, General Zuo Wuwei, Inspector and Supervisor of the Prison and Shepherd, and Huo Guogong.
He is arrogant and unscrupulous, and has repeatedly despised and ridiculed Gao Lishi and Yang Siqiao, and does not look at Jiang Jiao and Pei Min in his eyes.
Even a character like Gao Lishi has to walk around when he meets Wang Maozhong.
Wang Maozhong's arrogance can also be imagined, under his intentional matchmaking, the left leading general Geng Guogong Ge Fushun became his sons and daughters, the left prison gate general Lu Longzi Tang Diwen, the right Wuwei general Cheng Jihou Li Shoude, the right Weiwei general Wang Jingyao, the right Weiwei general Gao Guangji, the left prison gate chief Shi Shoudao...... and his three sons, Wang Shouzhen, are the prince's servants, Wang Shoulian is the prince's family order, and Wang Shouqing is the prince's rate order, almost all the important positions in the prince's mansion.
Nearly half of the Central Forbidden Army is Wang Maozhong's people, and Pei Min doubts that the Central Forbidden Army is equivalent to questioning the power in his hands.
Once Pei Min succeeds, Wang Maozhong's layout over the years will be ruined.
Wang Maozhong was completely panicked, and even shouted "rebellion" to Pei Min.
Li Longji looked at Pei Min, Wang Maozhong, and Gao Guangji for a while!
Pei Min's eyes were not wavering, and there was nothing unusual.
Wang Maozhong's eyes couldn't hide the panic.
As for Gao Guangji, he lowered his head directly with a weak heart, and he didn't dare to look at each other at all.
After being silent for a while, Li Longji finally looked at Pei Min and said, "Pei Qing, is your words too serious. Maybe I made a mistake in employing people, and Gao Guangji's incompetence really led to the low combat power of the right guard, which is not what it looks like. It's not like the entire Central Forbidden Army. ”
Gao Guangji was dizzy for a while, he knew that he was finished. Li Longji has confirmed his incompetence, and even admitted that he made mistakes in employing people.
In this case, he simply has no chance of turning over.
Regret, chagrin!
Gao Guangji just wanted to give himself a slap in the face, why did he fight for a woman with Guo Wenbin, for a woman, ruined his good future, it was really not worth it.
Wang Maozhong can't take care of Gao Guangji at this moment, just a right-hand general, there is still a chance to be promoted, protecting his foundation is the key, and he did not hesitate to rush ahead of Pei Min and said: "Your Majesty, Pei Min is alarmist, but I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic." Where can he question the strength of the Central Forbidden Army? What is the intention? ”
Pei Min didn't pay attention to Wang Maozhong's existence at all, and scolded him on the street, which would only detour things, and the only person he wanted to convince was Li Longji, and he didn't need to care about Wang Maozhong's feelings at all.
"Your Majesty! When the minister learned about the strength of the right guard, the minister specially asked the four generals a question! How do the soldiers of the Right Guard compare to the Divine Army? There is only one answer, and it is completely incomparable. With the current establishment of the Shence Army, it can at least four times as many right-wing guards! There are no surprises...... They are all good people who have experienced fighting on the battlefield, and they trust their judgment! Your Majesty should know how the Divine Army came to be! The Shence Army also has a nickname, I don't know if Your Majesty has heard of it, the first army on the edge of the town! ”
"The minister believes that the Shence Army is definitely worthy of this title, not because of how capable the minister is, but because of the establishment of the Shence Army, His Majesty has given too much convenience. The weapons are the best, the armor is the best, the soldiers are the best, and the supplies are the most abundant. In the face of His Majesty's love, if the Shence Army is still not worthy of the reputation of 'the first army on the edge of the town', the ministers will be embarrassed to appear in front of His Majesty. ”
Pei Min's words made Li Longji smile, although the current situation made him a little angry and worried, but Pei Min said this, which still made him feel that he was not at a loss.
Pei Min did not live up to his high expectations, and the performance of the Shence Army on the battlefield was also obvious to all, and it was indeed good.
"But......" Pei Min continued: "Everything that the Shence Army has is what the Central Forbidden Army eats leftovers!" ”
