The training was fully responsible for Wang Xingjian, assisted by Wang Xingyan.

Those veteran soldiers with extremely poor military quality are undergoing miserable intensive training on the playground.

Wang Xingyan roared and roared with a barbed leather whip, forcing those people faster and faster.

As long as there is a slowdown or collapse, a few whips will break through the wind, leaving a few bloody marks.

Fortunately, Li Xingzhou's logistical support for the New Army was extremely generous and even extravagant.

There is an inexhaustible supply of medicinal herbs to use in the langs of the army.

It is absolutely guaranteed that these boys will not leave any physical harm.

Cured?

Continue to practice, as the so-called dead practice is like a dog, and you can't bark when you are scolded.

This is the bleak life of the old soldiers of the new army on the first day of the new army.

On the other side of the playground, Wei Boyu and Xing Junya worked together.

They were training in military posture and queue under the scorching sun, and the long period of standing still made them wooden people.

Then it was turned into a dried corpse by the scorching sun, and the skin began to crack and float.

In the shadows on the edge of the barracks, Wang Xingjian looked at the soldiers who were being drilled like mourning dogs on the playground, and frowned.

"Master Li just wants them to die a few fewer on the battlefield, at least to be able to keep up with our speed when they escape."

It must be admitted that in the following days, there were more than 100 old soldiers from the Longxi Gate Valve family.

was extremely miserable by persimmon and Wang Xingjian.

From day to night, the remote and quiet barracks of the New Army was filled with screams, weeping, and screams of collapse.

and even more crushing fearful pleas for mercy.

Run with weights, run with weights, shoot with weights, run with weights, whip and kick.

Blood and snot plastered on tattered uniforms.

Bruises and festering skin rubbed against the sand, and from time to time someone fell, someone was so weak that he vomited bile.

The sun and moon in the Longxi Plain have witnessed countless tragic scenes.

The army was moving slowly.

The three-day journey was walked by Li Xingzhou for fifteen days.

Standing by the window, he rubbed his eyes and looked at the old soldiers who were struggling like sick dogs in the moonlight of the playground.

Knowing that these guys are on the verge of being tortured to the brink of despair and collapse.

To his relief, under such rigorous training, none of the more than a hundred servicemen tried to escape anything with self-harm.

Maybe it's because these boys don't have the courage to harm themselves?

He looked at his subordinates, who were extremely weak, and watched as their eyes grew brighter and brighter, filled with a certain hatred.

I feel more satisfied.

Between the picturesque scenery of the mountains behind Luoyang City.

The Taihei Courtyard stands proudly apart from the lakeside mountains.

In the early morning, kingfishers sing in the green valley.

It's not necessarily because it's pleasant, it's more likely that the birds are looking at the snow in the mountains.

Angry that they couldn't find a way to find the fruit.

The housekeeper Li Jixiang walked to the terrace and looked at Princess Taiping who was enjoying the snow under the skylight curtain.

She was light and long, and the gauze skirt was weft.

The coat is a small jacket of rose red brocade with snow-white rabbit fluff sewn into the corners.

Use a white brocade belt to tie the delicate waist that is unbearable.

In the middle, there is a piece of fine Hetian jade.

On the left side of the girdle, he wears a piece of fine glazed jade and wears it around his waist.

A long brocade-like hairpin is tied into a falling moon hairpin with a red jade coral hairpin, and a row of pendant glass curtains are inserted under the hairpan.

The willow eyebrows are painted with carbon black, which sets off the fair and delicate skin.

The charming and charming Danfeng eyes are full of brilliance between the eye waves.

Pink rouge is applied to make the skin appear white and red.

The lips are simply smeared with light red lip blush, and the whole face looks particularly beautiful.

More charming and graceful.

Li Jixiang said calmly and softly.

"Longxi has written again, and his tone is very anxious."

"The children of those families in Longxi are cared for as treasures on weekdays. Now that he was carried to the front line by Li Xingzhou, of course he would be in a hurry. ”

Princess Taiping looked at Xue Gu and said with a frown.

"I don't know what Li Xingzhou is doing, but I don't think he will harm me."

Although Princess Taiping's eyebrows occasionally had a look of thought, she guessed Li Xingzhou's ultimate purpose.

However, she was reluctant to come forward and sabotage her cooperation with him.

"That's very well understood."

Butler Li Jixiang said.

"Listening to them, they want to have a direct dialogue with Li Xingzhou and ask for our consent."

For the upper class of the Tang Dynasty, the one who suddenly rose to the Chongwen Pavilion was Master Li.

His body is still deeply engraved with the imprint of Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping picked up half of the best agarwood from the table, inhaled it lightly to the end of her nose, and said after a moment of silence.

"I won't stand in the way of ......"

"But in my opinion, wanting to directly persuade Li Xingzhou and rescue their useless children is just an extravagant hope."

"That guy doesn't eat oil and salt, he is cold and cold, and even I can't subdue him, let alone those people."

Princess Taiping tightened her robe.

Looking at a few pieces of lonely ice on the lonely lake in front of the stage, I thought indifferently in my heart.

Thinking of this, a trace of appreciation and doubt appeared in Princess Taiping's eyes.

"Li Xingzhou is very affectionate, but he is careful to avoid contact with ordinary people, if this is really intentional, I seem to despise him by three points."

Princess Taiping said softly.

"His prudence seems to be above yours."

Li Jixiang, the housekeeper standing behind her, frowned slightly, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

"He must have loved those ordinary lives. He is not the son of a powerful person, he yearns for an idyllic life, a quiet spring, because he is a small person created in those places, and now even if he is sitting alone, he is still a small person in his bones. ”

Princess Taiping turned around slightly and said.

"Being so cautious and far away from what he likes, he must be lonely in life, but it can prove his perseverance."

"This kind of guy who has great perseverance, ruthless means and ability, but has the atmosphere of a small person...... It's dangerous. ”

Butler Li Jixiang thought with emotion.

Probably only Princess Taiping can touch the heart of Li Xingzhou's seemingly ordinary guy so clearly and easily.

Princess Taiping was silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke.

"Tell Elder Di Ge that I want Li Xingzhou to be in charge of Zuo Yiwei."

The housekeeper Li Jixiang was silent.

His expression did not change in the slightest, but his heart was slightly turbulent!

Butler Li Jixiang's eyes swept imperceptibly over the half-burnt agarwood.

and swept past the furnishings of the Taiping Courtyard, which was full of history and power, and for some reason tasted a trace of staleness.

It's a natural attribute, the instinct of a family of gate valves.

They maintained the existence of this Datang in order to protect the interests of their own family.

Li Xingzhou has violated this fundamental interest, if he can't even guarantee the lives of his children, why are the big men of the gate valve family struggling?

……

Li Xingzhou, who was in the barracks, received many letters and messengers.

But just as Princess Taiping judged, he didn't get oil and salt.

Facing those secret pressures from the Longxi Gate Valve.

The thick eyebrows like a knife in the sheath trembled without a trace.

The actions of the bigwigs of the Longxi Gate Valve to save the children of the family.

was blocked back by Li Xingzhou's hard stone.

Whether it is threats, temptations, anger, grievances, the various expressions of the upper echelons are displayed in front of him, but they are completely useless.

However, when Li Xingzhou found out that the two acquaintances of the intercession were Changzhi and Xue Ne, he couldn't help but feel a little haze in his heart.

He looked at the brutally trained soldiers on the playground.

I can't help but be a little shocked by the influence of these guys' fathers.

People in the rivers and lakes, under the stars, there are always a lot of last resorts, Li Xingzhou understands these very well.

So after closing the barracks, there was only a few heavy wry smiles on his face, and there was not much resentment.

Li Xingzhou knew that what he was doing now was not counting on Princess Taiping.

It is the supreme ruler of the Tang Dynasty - Wu Zetian.

At that time, in order to prevent these high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, some of them would do everything to sue the court.

At the same time, considering the expansion of the situation, there will always be a day when it will be leaked, in addition to the necessary threats with children.

Li Xingzhou also made a contingency preparation.

He didn't do anything, he simply wrote a letter and wrote to Wu Zetian in person.

It says:

"Since the victory in Shanzhou, along the line of Shanzhou-Hezhou-Longxi, the people have welcomed them, and the merchants have burned incense to show their strength."

"Wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials from all walks of life are feeling that the new victory of the Tang Dynasty is short of soldiers in a hundred battles. In order to show their patriotic enthusiasm, they sent their children to join the army. ”

"Wang Xingjian and Wang Xingyan, the sons of Wang Yuangan, the Taishou of Hezhou, Yang Jinghui, the son of Yang Langya, the commander of Lintao County, Wang Sili, the younger brother of Wang Sijing, who joined the army in Lintao, and the eldest son Wang Rare, Ma Sui, the son of Sima Yingyuan, the grain and grass transfer in Longxi, Wei Boyu, the son of Wei Guan, the son of Hezhou Dahao Weiguan, and Xing Junya, the son of Xing Hu of the Longxi Ma Gang, etc."

"The princes attach importance to state affairs, and offer their beloved sons to show their loyalty to the country, and Xingzhou is deeply frightened, which is the work of His Majesty the Emperor's light, but it benefits from the water situation."

"Under all feelings, I wrote a letter to the emperor to send a decree to the officials."

"Another: Since the children of the officials joined the army, the merchants have worked hard to increase the number of soldiers, and the new army has become more and more profitable."

"Xingzhou is deeply uneasy, this is the benefit of the Tang Dynasty into the water bag, how can it be tolerated."

"The special subordinate Fengche Commander Park Jingtai led 50 personal soldiers, transported 100,000 taels of silver and 30,000 taels of gold, and went to Luoyang City, but if he had any gains, he would hand them over to the treasury, and he would not dare to be full."

This move is wonderful.

The Tang Kingdom has been fighting for many years, and the treasury has long been a little overwhelmed.

Although the people have money, most of it is concentrated in the hands of the wealthy businessmen.

These people are the pillars of Datang, so naturally they can't be shaken easily.

Exploitation can only be done by exploiting the poorer people.

In fact, even the most mediocre emperor in the Tang Dynasty knew that it was much better to exploit the rich merchants than to exploit the common people.

If possible, all taxes should be paid to these people first.

Unfortunately, they can't.

Because the civil and military officials in the hands of the emperor are usually themselves part of the exploitation.

But now, there is a Li Xingzhou.

He did what even emperors couldn't.

And he was clever and bold enough to take out a large sum of money and give it to the emperor to fill his treasury for him.

He also suggested that the emperor issue a decree to praise all the officials and merchants who sent their sons to join the army, so as to gag their mouths.

The charm of money is endless, even the emperor can be bought.

Wu Zetian immediately issued an order very happily: to reward all the wealthy businessmen and high-rollers who sent their sons to join the army.

The first person to be commended was Wang Yuangan.

It is said that when Wang Yuangan saw the big characters sent by the four emperors of "The People's Example", he was so happy that he cried tears.

At the same time, Wu Zetian specially granted Li Xingzhou a place for wartime conscription, allowing his new army to increase by another 1,000 ......

What this conscription quota is used for, naturally I don't know.

Li Xingzhou became more and more unscrupulous.

Now that the emperor is covered and there are hostages in his hands, what is he afraid of?

The former little young master soldier reserve team came along the way and began to expand like a snowball.

In the blink of an eye, it really expanded to a scale of 1,000 people.

And that's not even counting the retinue of cronies who follow them all the way behind them, as well as the corresponding resource escorts.

This team of 1,000 people is almost all composed of children from rich families.

Some are giant businessmen, some are wealthy nobles, some are in charge of real power by their fathers, and some are famous by their mothers.

Almost all the children of rich families are concentrated here, and all those who know and don't know are all together.

Li Xingzhou is very loose with them, as long as you don't run away, you can do whatever you like.

Want to eat something good?

No problem, let your Lao Tzu send money and food, and if you don't send it, you will eat bran like everyone else.

Want to stop working and not go to war?

All of this is fine, as long as you pay for it, it's easy to do.

Although there are many rules in the new army, they are open to all rich and noble children.

The new army now has 16,000 men, but this group of young master soldiers also has 1,000 people.

According to Li Xingzhou's rules, for every five copies sent by the parents and relatives of these young masters, one can fall into their own hands. These young masters don't make money themselves, and it doesn't take their parents' money seriously.

Seeing that they can eat and drink here, not suffer at all, and do not have to be nagged by their parents, a few people began to have fun.

The new veteran of the new army, Ding Tuo, is blessed by the young masters, who drink wine and eat meat in large bowls every day, and all of them begin to grow fat.

Therefore, they and the young master soldiers now look down on each other, but they can't do without each other.

Marching and fighting, burying pots and cooking.

The young masters contributed money, and the soldiers contributed their efforts.

It can be said that they cooperate with each other and match each other seamlessly.

The new army has money, the soldiers have money, and even the finances of the Tang Dynasty have improved in a large area.

Even Wu Zetian wished that Li Xingzhou's transport team could go in the opposite direction.

After scraping the gentry and nobles on the other side of the Tang Dynasty, he returned to the North Gate.

No one knows how much wealth Li Xingzhou and his new army have taken away through this young master army along the way.

Just according to the memories of the later persimmons.

At that time, Li Xingzhou had so much money that he couldn't use it, and he couldn't wait to wipe his ass with a silver ticket.

And the money handed over to the emperor was really only an insignificant part......

For many soldiers, this kind of life may be something they dare not dream of in their lives.

But now, they are the same as all the young masters.

However, this is just a change in life.

Even Li Xingzhou himself would not have thought of it.

What a huge role this young master army will play in his future career after following him before and after the saddle.

They come from the elite of society, they have a strong family base, and they are born with a keen political mind. They have money, they have power, they have a wide range of relationships.

This network of relationships is hand and eye, involving almost every corner of the entire Tang Dynasty, and their influence is decisive and incomparable.

In the future, it will be countless people like them who will support a powerful Datang ......
