The next day, Li Chengqian, accompanied by Song Junming, Zhi Sili, Liu Lan and others, began to review the military appearance and posture of the government soldiers brought by Song Junming. 35xs

They are all subordinate to the prefectures and counties, led by the sixteen guards and the tenth of the East Palace, and they cultivate during their agricultural time and practice in their respective places in their spare time.

In wartime, the imperial court temporarily appointed a marching commander to exercise the right of command.

The military government, the local governors, the sixteen guards, and the marching commanders checked each other, so that no one could control the army alone.

Although the garrisons of the Tianxia Prefecture were scattered, they were the central army that the emperor could directly control.

It completely solved the situation that the generals who were a headache for the emperor supported the troops and respected themselves.

The name of these provincial armies is called Zhichongfu, and the soldiers to which they belong are collectively called guards.

Zhechong Mansion is the grassroots organization unit of the military system of the Tang Dynasty.

At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, it was called the Hussar Mansion, and the chief officials were the Hussar General and the Che Cavalry General.

In the third year of the Great Cause of Sui, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty changed the Hussar Mansion to the Eagle Yang Mansion, and changed the chief official to the Eagle Yang Lang General and the Eagle Strike Lang General.

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan changed Ying Yang Lang to be the head of the army, and Ying Strike Lang was the deputy of the palace, and later followed the old system in the early years of the Sui Dynasty, and continued to change the Ying Yang Mansion back to the Hussar Mansion.

Later, in the seventh year of Wude, there was another change, changing the Hussar Mansion to the United Army Office, the Hussar General to the United Army, and the Che Cavalry General to another general.

This name was used until the tenth year of Zhenguan.

One day in the tenth year of Zhenguan, His Majesty Li Er suddenly had a whim, feeling that the current military government was called the unified military government, which was not imposing enough. 35xs

So His Majesty Li Er had a flash of inspiration, and changed the unified army mansion in the whole world to Zhechong Mansion.

Chong, is a kind of rushing car, is a kind of siege equipment in ancient times.

Literally, it means to return the enemy's chariot and defeat the enemy.

The chief and deputy chiefs of the Zhichong Mansion were the Commander of Zhichong and the Commander of Guoyi.

Zhechong Mansion is distributed all over the Tang Dynasty, and it is discarded at any time, and the number of the entire Datang Mansion is uncertain, and there are 633 mansions at the most, as many as 800 at one time, and less than 600 at the least.

Zhechong Mansion is subordinate to the Twelve Guards and the East Palace Six Rates.

This is the Tang Dynasty's Weifu system.

The so-called system of guarding the government is to unify the "government" with "guard". Wei is not only the forbidden army of the garrison Beijing Division, but also the leading body that commands the "government soldiers" in the world.

The Tang Dynasty's "Sixteen Guards" led more than 600 Zhichong Mansions in the world, centering on the Imperial Palace, garrisoning the Beijing Division, which was the integration of the government soldiers and the forbidden army.

Because the 16th Guard Office is in the south of the palace, it is also known as the "South Yafu Soldiers".

The "soldiers of the Southern Yafu" and the "Northern Yafu Forbidden Army" guarding the north gate of the palace and composed of recruited soldiers staggered and restrained each other.

There are 16 guards in the South Yafu Army, each with a general, a general, a lieutenant general, etc.

In addition to the left and right prison guards who are in charge of the gate guards and the left and right Qianniu guards who command the emperor's guards and honor guards such as Qianniu Beishen, the other 12 guards are the leading institutions of the government soldiers. 35xs

The soldiers under the command of the twelve guards are called the "foreign army", and the left and right guards in the twelve guards also lead the "internal army", and the general leader of the five mansions and three guards.

Similar to the organization and function of the sixteen guards, the ten rates responsible for the East Palace guards, the left and right internal rates and the left and right prison gate rates of the ten rates do not lead the government soldiers, and the remaining six rates are all government soldiers.

The Orichong Prefecture is divided into three classes, with 1,200 people in the upper house, 1,000 people in the middle government, and 800 people in the lower government.

Each prefecture has one lieutenant, one lieutenant on the left and right, one lieutenant on the left and right, and one general for the general, the long history, and the soldier Cao to join the army, which is an organization at the provincial level.

below the prefecture, 300 people are in the regiment, and the regiment has a lieutenant and a brigade commander; Fifty people are a team, with a team leader and a deputy; Ten people are fire, and some have a fire chief.

Looking at the neat queue of government soldiers in front of him, although Li Chengqian didn't know if they were elite, it didn't matter.

He didn't understand, Xue Wanche and Cheng Wuting beside him understood, whether they were elite soldiers or strong generals, and these two people could still distinguish one or two according to the standing posture of the government soldiers.

Li Chengqian and others ascended the high platform, and the eyes of the guards focused on Li Chengqian.

Yesterday they received a notice that a big man would come to inspect them today, and this big man was the crown prince.

Many of them were leaving their hometowns for the first time and going to the farthest places outside of Chang'an.

Li Chengqian took the stage and spoke first. Encourage everyone to kill the enemy bravely, make more contributions, win glory for the country, win glory for their families, and so on.

In order to prevent Li Chengqian from accidentally saying the wrong thing and making a fool of himself, Liu Lan and others had already prepared a speech for the prince and asked Li Chengqian to read it according to the script.

After listening to the prince's speech, the applause was thunderous, and the guards cheered.

Liu Lan and the others behind the prince finally breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as Li Chengqian opened his mouth, they knew that the prince did not read the speech they gave.

Even they were ready to fight the fire, but they didn't expect that the prince not only didn't make a fool of himself, but also controlled the audience.

"Song Dudu!" Li Chengqian shouted.

"The minister is here!" Song Junming stepped forward and saluted.

"Let's get started!" Li Chengqian said.

"No!" Song Junming said: "Please also ask Your Highness to move and watch." ”

Li Chengqian nodded, and took Liu Lan and the others to the rest and viewing area on the side.

The next step was to watch the cavalry and archery performances of these government soldiers.

If you want to see whether these guards are elite, in addition to looking at their military appearance and military posture, you must also see whether their basic skills are solid.

Due to the large number of guards, it is naturally impossible to show their basic skills such as mounted archery one by one.

Song Junming asked the commanders of each province to come and show the prince the cavalry shooting.

"Let's go!" With Song Junming's order, the drummers beat the war drums, and the commanders of each prefecture and Guoyi took the stage to perform their own housekeeping skills.

Riding and archery kung fu is good!

Judging from their movements and precision, they have put a lot of effort into it.

"How about these Commanders and Captains of Guoyi?" Li Chengqian asked Xue Wanche in a low voice about the situation of these people.

Just as the so-called soldiers are bearish, they will be in a nest, and looking at the performance of the commanders of the prefectures and the captains of Guoyi, you can see to some extent what the situation of the soldiers they bringed.

"These people are okay, and even if the soldiers under them are not elite in a hundred battles, they are still good soldiers." Xue Wanche said.

"Your Highness! I found that only one of these Commanders and Captains of Guoyi was the best among them. As soon as Xue Wanche's voice fell, Cheng Wu on the side said.

"Oh! Which one is it? Li Chengqian suddenly became interested and asked curiously.

Cheng Wuting followed Cheng Mingzhen to fight when he was young, and was famous for his bravery.

Ordinary people can't enter Cheng Wuting's eyes at all, and the people who can make Cheng Wuting look at him still have some ability.

Datang is full of talents, maybe there are buried talents, and maybe they are not discovered.

Li Chengqian believes that it should not be too bad to get the person Cheng Wuting likes, otherwise Cheng Wuting will not mention it to him.
