Chapter 461: General's Demeanor
After watching the troops' drills and the live firing of the heavy guns, Li Xuan did not leave the barracks immediately and began to meet the officers one by one and have a sincere conversation with them.
When receiving Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Yibao, commander of the Fifth Infantry Regiment, the Eternal Sage, said that the Fifth Infantry Regiment should inherit and give play to the spirit and experience of its predecessors, and strive to become an army and make meritorious contributions at an early date.
Zhou Yibao replied to our eternal saint Li Xuan like this: "The minister must thoroughly implement His Majesty's various instructions in the spirit of loyalty and patriotism, and contribute to the rejuvenation of the great cause of the Tang Dynasty!"
After receiving all the school officials one by one, Li Xuan saw that time was running out, so he simply didn't meet them one by one, and immediately led the ministers to go out directly.
Outside, a large group of generals who were waiting to be met were talking to each other, when they heard a voice: "Your Majesty has arrived!" At that time, they all subconsciously looked at the door.
I didn't know that there were more than a dozen figures at the door, Li Xuan, the official emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the center!
After seeing Li Xuan walk in, the officers in the hall made the same action in unison!
Raise your head and stand tall, then bow your hands!
At the same time, he shouted: "Greetings to Your Majesty!" ”
Military regulations: When a soldier is wearing a military uniform, he can not kneel when he sees the Son of Heaven, and replace it with a military salute!
Looking at a group of officers in dark blue uniforms, if they are equipped with military caps, then the group of people in front of them will be mistaken for a group of modern officers at first glance.
In fact, in terms of wearing alone, the military uniform of the Tang Army made by Li Xuan, although the soldier's military uniform is ugly, but the officer's uniform dark blue military uniform looks very pleasing to the eye.
Li Xuan looked around at everyone and slowly entered with steps, and Huo Shouqi, Liu Bagou and Zeng Ziwen, who were following him, also slowly entered.
The whole process is silent!
In many cases, the quality of the military can be reflected in some small details, such as in today's scene.
It is not so easy to make many officers salute in unison, and in the whole process, except for the footsteps of Li Xuan and others, there is not a single sound.
Li Xuan's pace of walking was neither fast nor slow, and he soon walked into the hall, and then turned back to the dozens of people below and said, "Don't be too restrained, I'm here to see you, and I'm not here to trouble Aiqing, so relax!" ”
Li Xuan spoke with a faint smile, and the senior generals such as Zeng Ziwen and Zhou Yibao on the side were also very cooperative in echoing Li Xuan's words.
Zhou Yibao deliberately said with a straight face: "Don't stand upright, relax!" ”
But everyone said so, but if there is a person who is not long-sighted and really does not restrain himself and does something out of the ordinary, it must be remembered by Li Xuan, and being remembered by Li Xuan is not the same is a good thing, and it is very likely to be a bad thing.
Even if it is not remembered by Li Xuan, but if it is remembered by Zhou Yibao and them, then it is not a good thing.
However, everyone seems to be more cautious and restrained, but it is still much better than when Li Xuan first came in!
And at this time, Zhou Yibao accompanied him to introduce the main officers of the Fifth Infantry Regiment and friendly forces!
"This is Zhou Quanlong, the commander of our 13th Infantry Battalion, a veteran of our Tang Dynasty Division, and he participated in the battle against Shuilong Village back then!"
Zhou Quanlong? This person Li Xuan has an impression, remembering that this person should be a member of the early Guards, but he should be an ordinary soldier in the Guards, but if this person had impressed Li Xuan a long time ago, then now he would not be just a major battalion commander, but would be a brigade commander like Hao Bonian, and at the very least, a regiment commander.
But speaking of veterans, in fact, this Zhou Quanlong is not very old, he is only seventeen years old when he is full, and he is still a virtual age!
There is no way, who made the Tang Dynasty Wang's army for a relatively short time, and many soldiers who were guards back then are now in high positions!
The Tang Dynasty King Division recruits soldiers and requires them to be at least sixteen!
But recruiting officers is not so particular, as long as you can recognize words and pass the physical fitness, you can accept it at the age of thirteen, and you can also accept it at the age of thirty!
But most of the people who dare to abandon their pen and follow Rong are hairy young men, and even if the older scholars come to join the thieves, they will tend to be a civilian official, rather than become a soldier to fight, so the average age of the officers recruited from outside is also very low.
This has also led to a very interesting phenomenon, that is, the average age of officers in today's Tang Dynasty Division is lower than the average age of soldiers.
Zhou Quanlong is only seventeen years old this year, which is not too big or small, but it seems normal among a group of officers of the Tang Dynasty, and most of his comrades-in-arms are not more than twenty years old.
I saw this person take a step forward, and then said: "Minister Zhou Quanlong knocks on Your Majesty!" ”
Li Xuan nodded slightly: "Zhou Aiqing has worked hard!" ”
Zhou Quanlong grinned: "Thank you for Your Majesty's concern, the minister is not hard!" ”
Later, he met with others according to the usual practice, and when he arrived at Xu Mingzhe, Li Xuan looked at this elegant-looking former Ming Army Qianhu, now the major of the Tang Dynasty Wang Division, and the deputy head of the First Baggage Regiment, and he was a little curious about how this person was raised.
You must know that there are many generals and soldiers in the Ming army in the Tang Dynasty, and there is nothing to say about the soldiers, but in the handling of officers, it is necessary to be more cautious and refined.
Thousands of households and more than a thousand households, all of them will be given a false position first, and then look at the performance, if the performance is not good, maybe he will be poisoned that day, if the attitude is good, then he will gradually get in touch with the military affairs of the Tang Dynasty, and hold some positions that seem to be high-level, but in fact have no rights.
For example, Li Xuan's specially set up position of 'Privy Council Advisor', in the previous two wars, many Ming army generals were awarded the position of Privy Council Advisor, and then raised.
For middle and low-level officers below 1,000 households, it is based on the question of active will, if you are willing to continue to serve, then you will enter the martial arts academy to further your studies, and then come out to continue to serve, of course, there will still be necessary preferential treatment, they will continue to serve as officers, but most of them start from warrant officers.
If you don't want to serve in the army, the Tang Dynasty also has a lot of places to arrange for you, such as the many workshops in the Ministry of Industry!
The soldiers were treated in much the same way, and they were all reorganized into garrisons.
But under this treatment, it is actually very difficult for the generals of the Ming army to come out again, first of all, the reorganized Ming army does not need the personal prestige of those Ming generals to maintain the troops.
Although these Ming generals are more experienced in theory and experience, they don't know anything about how to fight the Tang Dynasty.
In other words, today's Tang Dynasty royal division actually doesn't need the supplement of these Ming army generals!
In terms of actual appointment, most of these generals were also arranged in the garrison army, but there are definitely a few people like Xu Mingzhe who can climb all the way up in the regular army and become senior officers.
So Li Xuan was still quite curious about this Xu Mingzhe, and wanted to know how he got up!
Therefore, Li Xuan asked very deliberately: "If you were asked to lead the Fifth Infantry Regiment in the exercise just now, what tactics would you use?" ”
However, Xu Mingzhe hesitated slightly and said: "If it is a real battle, the minister will lead the team to retreat as soon as possible!" ”
After Li Xuan heard this, he asked: "However, the enemy army has a thousand cavalry, how can you retreat?" ”
Xu Mingzhe said: "After the two reserve battalions are broken, abandon heavy artillery and other baggage, and the main force retreats lightly!" ”
It is called a resolute and decisive one, without the slightest hesitation.
After hearing this, Li Xuan didn't continue to ask, because he had already got the answer he wanted, this Nima is a ruthless person!
Although it sounds a little incredible to say that the retreat is a retreat and the retreat of sacrificing thousands of people, it is impossible to do such a thing without being ruthless to a certain extent.
It's the same as Xu Mingzhe's previous forced troops to storm the infantry defense line of the Fifth Infantry Regiment regardless of casualties!
Not to mention whether the troops can withstand such a thing, it is very difficult to pass the psychological level of the generals alone.
Without blinking an eye, he directly threw away the lives of thousands of people, and the person who can do this is a qualified general.
As for the issue of ability and quality, it is not too late to cultivate it slowly in the future!
This Xu Mingzhe has the demeanor of a heroic general, and he can continue to cultivate and use it, and this sixth infantry regiment just lacks a regiment commander, so he can give it a try!
At this time, Xu Mingzhe didn't know that he was already Jian Zaidixin, and was regarded by Li Xuan as one of the reserve commanders of the Sixth Infantry Regiment.
After returning from the school field outside the city, Li Xuan handled many government affairs as usual!
There are a lot of chapters today, Li Xuan almost looked at ten lines at a glance, and then simply read the instructions, knew it, etc.
After the instructions were finished, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, which made Li Xuan sigh a little!
If Nima continues to be tired like this, I'm afraid that he won't live to be thirty years old, and there are many messy things every day, and many of them are trivial, and the things that the cabinet ministries can handle on their own are also reported.
In this way, Li Xuan can certainly control everything in his hands, but it is too tiring to do this.
The work efficiency of the Hanlin Academy is still too low, and the work efficiency of the cabinet departments is also too low.
But complaining is complaining, but now Li Xuan doesn't have a good way to achieve a better balance between tiredness and power.
It can only be adjusted slowly, for example, it is stipulated that this twist and turn is not something that anyone wants to do, and trivial things are not allowed.
If Li Xuan is done with the matter, what else do these officials do? Looks good?
