"Really?" Yang Ren pondered for a moment, picked up his wine glass and touched Yu Zangyun, and asked, "He is in charge of military training, I'm afraid it's hard to have a chance to go into battle, right?" ”

"It's not clear about this," Yu Zangyun took a sip and said with a smile, "The young man is rising too fast, it's better to take a break." You don't know, the former Japanese military general Zhao Dejin is a doctor, and even I am a little jealous. The future is terrifying, this kid has only been in the army for a few years, how many years did it take us to climb to this level of title? "Having said that, with Yu Zangyun's status in the Protectorate Mansion, he doesn't really care about this.

Yang Ren also smiled: "Who said it wasn't?" With 3,000 people, he resisted the 200,000 army for three months, even Zhang Shanfu, an old guy, was a little scared! The two laughed together, and Yu Zangyun laughed even more: "Fortunately, if he works for Kanto." The 200,000-strong army besieged Luoyang for three months, and the baggage division could not bear it just by transporting grain and grass. ”

Unlike the Song army, who likes to defend the walled city. In the Xia army, the offensive was emphasized, and the field battle was decisive. Therefore, the general, who was known for his defense, was impressive. However, most captains may not agree that defending the city will lead to victory. Could it be that the defenders of the city can still wait for the siegers to starve to death? If it weren't for the fact that Nanshan City had suffered so many siege troops, and tens of thousands of Liao troops had been killed or wounded under the city, the Battle of Nanshan would have been the biggest victory over the Liao State in 20 years. Otherwise, Zhao Xingde's hard work in Nanshan City for several years may not be recorded as such a great feat.

The two chatted a few more words, and when they got back to the point, Yu Zangyun put down his wine glass and said slowly: "God bless my dynasty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and martial, and he has the qualifications of a Ming monarch." The emperor's family did not want to compete with the army, so although the princes of the previous dynasties served in the hussar army, the official position did not exceed that of the captain, and they had to wait until they succeeded to the throne to concurrently serve as the commander of the dragon tooth army with the dignity of a country. But you and I both know that it's just a false title, Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, and the Dragon Tooth Army has always been the deputy commander and acting military officer. This time, the military government transferred His Royal Highness back from Mobei, if it was before the succession, it would be a pity to throw idle. Guanzhong will organize a training regiment to train the fire battalion, which will be under the jurisdiction of the Chang'an regimental training envoy. This regiment is a training envoy, but it is a civilian official. ”

Yu Zangyun gradually lowered his voice, approached Yang Ren and said: "According to the usual practice, a few years before the crown prince ascended the throne, it is better to go to Chang'an to push the boat down the river, and you and I will jointly nominate His Highness to serve as the training envoy of the Chang'an regiment." In the future, His Royal Highness will succeed to the throne, and he will also remember the old feelings of the military secretary of Anton. He looked at Yang Ren a little nervously, but Yang Ren frowned and muttered: "The Dragon Tooth is the Son of Heaven's own army, and I originally thought that His Highness would serve as a captain in the Dragon Tooth Army. We can still speak in the Protectorate Mansion, but the appointment power of the regimental training envoy is in the Prime Minister's Mansion, how to promote this matter? ”

Yu Zangyun smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "The prime minister, naturally someone is going to speak." It's just that these 50,000 regiments not only practiced firearms and guns, but also paid military salaries by the Prime Minister's Office, and His Majesty also gave domestic money to help. Therefore, this regimental training envoy is different from the usual, although he is a civilian official, he will have to nod his head from the Protectorate at that time. In this military matter, Brother Yang said yes to his colleagues in Guanzhong in advance, the beauty of adults. ”

"Brother Yu is serious, how can Yang have such great ability." Yang Ren said with a smile, "Listening to what Brother Yu said, although the position of this regimental training envoy is a civilian official, he holds 50,000 troops in his hand, which seems to be more important than the military commander. The regimental training army is not under the jurisdiction of the Protectorate, and the prince is in charge of the army, will there be something inappropriate? If he said this in Kanto, he would have caused a lot of trouble for himself. But for the captain of the Protectorate Mansion, it is an ordinary thing. Yang Ren didn't even need Yu Zangyun to show his attitude. At that time, the Protectorate also deposed the fourth emperor Chen Su on the grounds of "unscrupulous behavior", and replaced Chen Su's brother Chen Yuan, who is the father of today.

Yu Zangyun's face changed slightly, and he smiled a little embarrassedly: "Even if Your Highness is appointed as the regimental training envoy, he will return to Dunhuang to become a big position after staying in this son for two or three years, and besides, the regimental training envoy is also in charge of food, salary, and military training, etc., and the mobilization of soldiers and horses, doesn't it have to go through the general's mansion, the prime minister's mansion, and the Chang'an protector?" ”

Yang Ren smiled slightly, and only took other words to cross it. Yu Zangyun had no choice but to stop mentioning the matter.

After returning from Huayue Tower, Yang Ren found more than a dozen other captains in Guanzhong, and first told Yu Zangyun about seeking an official position as a regimental training envoy for the crown prince, and then said: "It is related to the national system, not only do I not approve, but also oppose it." This is also to protect His Royal Highness the Prince, if he really holds the military power, even if he does not have anything, it is easy to be used by traitors and leave hidden dangers. Since the regimental training army has received the imperial court's military salary, it cannot be outside the control of the Protectorate Government, otherwise, the society is in danger of overturning, and the country will not be a country. The regimental training envoy should not directly control the firecracker battalions, but should refer to the national system, and the officers of the firecracker battalion above the rank of 10 commanders should each elect ten captains. Each lieutenant is responsible for the administration of an army, so that nothing is lost. ”

Yang Ren slowly looked over and saw that no one objected, and said in a deep voice: "In addition, I plan to recommend Zhao De to be the training envoy of this training corps." ”

"However, Zhao De is from the Kanto region." Someone whispered.

"Which of us has nothing to do with Kanto," Yang Ren said with a smile, he paused, lowered his voice and said, "Take 10,000 steps back, the centurions of the regimental training army are all sergeants of the Dragon Tooth Army, and the regimental training soldiers are the people of my Guanzhong." Even if he has a different heart, what can he do? However," he paused, and then added, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Zhao De are thousands of miles away. There are quite a lot of variables during this period, and how to act in the end will have to wait for these two to come back and see the situation. In the final analysis, the appointment of the training envoy of this regiment must first pass the pass of the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

............

Prime Minister Liu Yi sent Zhang Shanfu, the general of the marching division, out, returned to the study, took out the file of the training plan of the fire battalion, and pondered it carefully. According to his original intention, Zhao Xingde was the best candidate to serve as the training envoy of the fire gun battalion. However, Zhang Shanfu preferred to be appointed by the crown prince Chen Chong.

Zhang Shanfu believed that the gun battalion was easy to train and could be near and far, and it was likely to replace other regiments in training and become the main branch of troops mobilized by the Xia State in future wars. An emperor who is familiar with the operation of the musket battalion is more beneficial to the future of the country than an emperor who only knows how to charge on horseback. In addition, Chen Chong made great contributions but was transferred out of the Anbei Military Department in vain, which can be regarded as the General's Mansion to compensate him. Since they can no longer be sent to the border army to fight, only the position of the numerous regimental training envoys under this subordinate is not satisfactory.

On the other hand, Zhao De was transferred to the Dragon Tooth Army as a captain, and was promoted to a doctor, and the speed of his promotion to the rank of lord was already jaw-dropping. If he is allowed to serve as a regimental training envoy again, he is not in the system of the Protectorate Mansion, and he has 50,000 soldiers, it will be too criticized, but it will harm him. On the other hand, if Zhao Xingde served as a captain of the Longya Military Academy for several years, training, operating, and commanding firearms officers for other armies, on the one hand, he could make good friends with his colleagues in the army, and it can be said that the generals of the future generation will be able to have some friendship to some extent. Training officers for other armies can also make a wide range of contacts in the army. These years of hard work have allowed him to not only return to the Xia Kingdom, but also lay a very solid foundation in the army.

"It can be seen that Zhang Shanfu also has a love for talent," Liu Yi's index finger twitched on the training file, muttering undecided, "However, the situation in Kanto is becoming more and more tense day by day." This time, the Anbei Military Division was frustrated, and the Song State sent troops to fight for Xijing Road, which had already shaken Guanzhong and mobilized regimental training. If Zhao De is not used as a regimental training envoy, just let him train officers, in this short period of time, will he have time to train a regimental training army that can fight? According to Liu Yi's plan, the 50,000 regiments have only started to use muskets for military training, and if they are effective, there will be more Guanzhong regimental training troops to switch to firearms. At least in his opinion, this will be a trend.

However, Yang Ren's long-cherished regimental training army receiving military salaries is purely a temporary emergency strategy for Prime Minister Liu Yi. Because the Song State cut off the trade of Hangu Pass, the Guanzhong workshop was seriously suspended. The livelihood of the workers was nowhere to go, so a group of strong workers were recruited to be used as fire battalion group training, paid military salaries, and temporarily settled in Guanzhong. When the tension eases, Guanzhong will no longer need to raise these regimental training, the two countries will resume trade, and the workshop will also need a large number of manpower, and these paid musketeers can also be gradually eliminated and let them continue to work in the workshop.
