In an open space about 5 miles away from the city wall outside the west city wall of Chengdu, a military camp is undergoing intense transformation, which is precisely being renovated according to Li Ye's requirements, because this is the future military camp of the Tiance Army.

This barracks is not newly built, but the former barracks of the Ya Soldiers, but now it has become the barracks of the Tiance Army, because the Ya Soldiers have been canceled, to be precise, the previous Ya Soldiers have been canceled. As for whether Chen Jingxuan, the envoy of the festival, will form his own tooth soldiers, that is his business, but his personal soldiers are actually a kind of tooth soldiers.

The tooth soldiers left by Cui Anqian, the former Jiedu envoy, were elite divisions, which had long made Chen Jingxuan covetous, but he had just arrived, and he couldn't control this small but elite tooth soldiers in a short time.

And the rebellion of the Yellow Head Army some time ago was an introduction. Because of this, during this period of time, the most talked about in Chengdu was the issue of army reorganization, and the reconstruction or formation of the Shence Army, the Xichuan Army, and the Tiance Army attracted the attention of many people.

If these three troops want to be formed, they must need a part of the army as the foundation, and the Huangtou Army, the Ya Soldiers, and the county and town soldiers have naturally become fragrant and sweet, and they all want to annex these troops, and then quickly form their own troops.

If it is only a direct annexation, there will definitely be a lot of resistance, but no matter which of these troops are merged into the three armies, it means that the generals will be promoted, so the resistance is not as great as imagined. In particular, the Shence Army and the Tiance Army belong to the forbidden army, and their treatment is much better than that of the Xichuan Army.

However, Tian Lingzi, Chen Jingxuan, Yang Fugong and Li Ye were all staring at those troops, and it was difficult to swallow them alone. In the end, the Huangtou Army was taken by the two Tian Lingzi brothers, and the Ya soldiers were divided by Yang Fugong and Li Ye.

Originally, according to the establishment, there were only 4 Tiance troops, and the scale could only be about 4,000 people. As a result, after the merger of nearly half of the soldiers and county and town soldiers, the number reached 3,000, which was not a good thing for Li Ye.

Li Ye lacks reliable generals, and if one of the factions is too large, it will threaten him as a commander, so balance must be maintained. Li Yi didn't know this kind of balancing technique before, and if he reused Tian Lingzi, there would naturally be several problems. Although the other party still does not understand the art of imperial power, under the influence of multiple factors, a delicate balance has been formed between the left and right Shence Army, Xichuan Army and Tiance Army.

So in this situation, Li Ye could only expand the number to dilute the influence of the tooth soldiers, so he decided to expand the size of the Tiance army to between 5,000 and 6,000 people.

Naturally, this issue of the four cannot be changed, otherwise Tian Lingzi and others will definitely oppose it. Therefore, Li Ye made a fuss about the following establishment, and he changed the Tiance Army to a large establishment of the five-five system according to the previous establishment of the royal army. That is, 1 has 5 battalions, 1 battalion has 5 teams, and 1 team has 5 fires, so that each is about 1,300 people, and 4 are 5,200 people, plus some other personnel, nearly 6,000 people.

Of course, there is Tian Lingzi, and the weapons and military salaries he obtained are all given according to the establishment of 4,000 people, so Li Ye can only bear the more. But the weapon is okay, after all, he has a good relationship with Yang Fugong, and he can find a way to get some weapons from him. Of course, Li Ye doesn't have to worry too much about the weapons and salaries of those soldiers now, because this is a gap of nearly 3,000 people, and it may not be able to be filled in a short time.

Xichuan is not like the Central Plains, there are few wars here, although Chen Jingxuan's festival is useless, but the life of the people is okay, under normal circumstances, no one wants to be a soldier, unless the temptation to be a soldier is too great, it can attract many people to become soldiers.

The soldier's problem can be solved slowly, but the upper officers of the Tiance Army must solve it as soon as possible. At present, Li Ye has only determined the marching Sima, 2 lieutenant generals, and 4 capital heads, and the official positions of what records are still vacant in the military, Cangcao in the military, and so on. However, these people cannot all be selected from the local people in Chengdu Prefecture, and some can also be selected from those middle and low-level officials who fled from Chang'an.

"Your Highness!"

Just when Li Ye entered the barracks under the protection of his own soldiers, a general wearing fine armor came to Li Ye and saluted in parallel.

"It turned out to be General Liu." Seeing the person coming, Li Ye nodded and motioned for him to get up.

The person in front of him is called Liu Qi, who was originally the deputy commander of the fifth rank of the tooth soldiers, and now he is one of the two lieutenant generals of the Tiance Army, and he is also Liu Chenyan's father. The commander of the tooth soldiers took refuge in Yang Fugong and entered the Right Shence Army as the general of Congsanpin.

There are 4 heads of the Tiance Army, 1 is from the tooth soldiers, 1 is from the county and town soldiers, and 2 are from the Shouwang Mansion. It is worth mentioning that of the 10 pro-soldiers who followed Li Ye from Chang'an to Chengdu Mansion a few years ago, Li Hong served as the lieutenant general of the Tiance Army, 1 served as the head of the Tiance Army, 1 served as Li Ye's current palace army, and the other 7 entered the Tiance Army as a captain (that is, commanding a battalion). Maybe some of them are incompetent, but when they shared hardships with Li Ye, Li Ye naturally would not treat them badly, and the opportunity was given to them, and it was up to them to see their personal creation.

"Why is Your Highness here?" Liu Qi hurriedly asked.

"This king will come to see the transformation of the military camp, I hope it will be completed within half a month, and then let the Tiance army enter the daily training, so that the army can become an army as soon as possible." Li Ye said lightly, "By the way, where is Pei Sima now?" ”

"In the big tent of the marching Sima in the camp." Liu Qi replied.

"Okay, General Liu, you are busy first, this king has something to inquire about Pei Sima." After speaking, Li Ye went directly to the Sima tent in the center of the barracks.

After Li Ye walked away, Liu Qi couldn't help but sigh next to him, "General, His Royal Highness King Shou is quite approachable, and he doesn't have the kind of lofty shelf that the prince has." ”

"That's not the same as I think the royal prince is." Liu Qi nodded.

It can be seen from the conversation that Li Ye does not have much of a fight, and he speaks very politely, which also makes these officers who are not Li Ye's cronies breathe a sigh of relief. If they meet a commander who is not good to serve, they will have good fruit to eat.

However, Li Ye is too easy to talk and has a problem, that is, it will make the generals below think that it is easy to bully, has no authority, and is prone to some hidden dangers.

。。。。。。

In the evening, after dark, Liu Qi returned to his home in the city. A plump but graceful and noble woman hurriedly greeted her, and took off the armor on her body with two maids, but her mouth was not idle when her hands were busy, "Master, why did you come back so late today?" You shouldn't be on duty tonight. ”

Although these generals hold military power, it does not mean that they can be high, especially since they are also generals in the army. The officers above the head of the Tiance army will take turns to be on duty at night, otherwise there will be no one in the barracks, and it will be easy for accidents. Of course, this is also what Li Ye requested, including Li Ye will also be on night duty in the army every month, but there is only one day per month, unlike others who are at least two days.

But for this, Liu Qizhi doesn't think anything, in fact, this is much better than before, there is a tradition of night duty in the army, but Li Ye asked to take turns.

After the armor was removed, Liu Qi simply washed it in the clean water carried by the maid, and then wiped it dry with gauze before saying, "Your Highness is down today, and Your Highness will also be at this time, as a subordinate, I can't leave earlier than Your Highness." ”

"Your Highness? His Royal Highness King Shou? Daddy, he's gone to the barracks? Just as the woman was about to speak, a voice came from not far away, and she saw that it was Liu Chenyan, her eyes full of curiosity.

"There are no rules at all, how can Your Highness be called casually? And Your Highness is still your savior, otherwise you would still be sitting here? Liu Qi looked displeased and blamed his ignorant daughter.

Liu Chenyan pouted and said coquettishly, "Daddy, I just didn't pay attention for a while, my daughter also wants to go to the barracks, I haven't been there for a long time." ”

"Nonsense, that was before, don't fool around now." Looking at the reluctance on his daughter's face, Liu Qi continued, "If you want to mess around, I can't stop you." ”

"Humph! If you don't go, you won't go, stingy. Liu Chenyan looked unhappy, sat at the dinner table, supported her chin with both hands, and was angry there.

"All right, sir. What kind of personality Yan'er has, you don't know yet, so don't worry about her. The woman hurriedly persuaded.

"You, you know that you are used to her, see who dares to marry her in the future, a daughter's family, dancing with knives and guns all day long."

Liu Qi complained about his wife, although his wife seemed to be in charge of Liu Chenyan, but the reason why Liu Chenyan was like this, Liu Qi himself had to account for a big reason, if it wasn't for the old habit before, it wouldn't be like this now. But when he came to his senses, his daughter had grown up, and it was not easy to change her personality.
