Chapter 242: Organizing the Army (II)

On the first day, some high-ranking officials and dignitaries of Chengdu's power organs did not know much about what had happened in the Xida Battalion, but only one day later, some well-informed dignitaries and high-ranking officials understood that the West Battalion was actually reorganizing the entire army.

The people who got the news were stunned, these dignitaries and high-ranking officials are all smart people, and they don't understand that such a thing as rectifying the military is easier said than done. They only heard that Xidaying had recently appointed a commanding general, and they also knew that the new commander-in-chief general was bound to do something.

But they really didn't expect that the three fires of this guard general's new officer would burn so brightly? To rectify the military, in fact, the commanders and generals of the previous eastern and western battalions have tried, but they undoubtedly ended in failure, after all, where is the regulation of the imperial court, given the number of five thousand city defense troops, one more person will not work.

The number of people is limited, and every general wants to let this limited number of places exert super combat power, so that his army will become elite, become strong, and become enough to be ten with one.

In a border place such as Chengdu, as long as there is contact with the "military", it becomes very sensitive and becomes very eye-catching, after all, many people are understanding people, and they naturally know that they know that in the southwest border of the Tang Dynasty, if they want to really gain a firm foothold, they can only have enough troops in their hands, otherwise everything is delusional.

It is precisely because of different channels that they learned that the Xidaying is undergoing military reform that some high-level officials in Chengdu and even Jiannan Province have started their own thoughts, and they have visited the Xidaying one after another in various names.

But what disappointed them was that they were not greeted by the smiling faces of the high-ranking officers of the West Battalion in the past, but the cold silver spears and crossbow arrows that exuded a cold atmosphere.

Knowing this, these high-level officials in Chengdu knew that the Xidaying was indeed undergoing military reform, and if it weren't for that, the Xidaying, which had not closed the camp gate for many years, would definitely not have closed the camp gate so tightly.

Looking at the closed camp gate, some high-level officials in Chengdu still wanted to show off their official authority, but these high-ranking officials were only defeated by a relaxed word from the guard commander, and then where did they come from and where did they go back!

"My general is ordered by His Royal Highness King Shou to rectify the military and better defend the country, if you are not satisfied, please return to His Royal Highness King Shou's order to come here again, and we will never dare to stop it!" That's what the Guardian Commander said.

The West Battalion, the residence of the main general, was temporarily requisitioned by Li Qing as his temporary residence, and for three whole days, in order to cooperate with Shi Hao's whole army action, Li Qing did not leave the West Camp for half a step.

Shi Hao, who was dressed in uniform, handed Li Qing several pieces of high-grade paper, all of which were filled with dense names, and looking at the young man in Xuanyi with a calm face in front of him, Shi Hao said more and more respectfully: "By order of His Highness, after three consecutive days of assessment, all the 2,537 soldiers in our western battalion have been assessed, of which 1,127 have passed the martial arts examination, 54 have passed the literary examination, and only 28 have passed the Chinese martial arts examination, and the remaining more than 1,000 people have all failed. ā€

Speaking of this, Shi Hao lowered his head very ashamedly, after all, no matter who it was, he knew that such an assessment score was definitely not qualified, after all, now as the chief general of the Western Battalion, seeing his subordinates hand over such an answer sheet, and facing His Royal Highness King Shou, who had the grace of cultivation for himself, Shi Hao's heart became even more guilty.

Swept a few pieces of high-grade paper in front of him, looking at Shi Hao in front of him with a guilty face, Li Qing opened his mouth and said: "General Shi doesn't have to mind, you just took up the post of the chief general of the Western Battalion, and it is not your fault that such a situation occurs." ā€

Besides, even if he is an outsider, this king can still expect that the results of this assessment of the city defense army will definitely be unsatisfactory, this king can guess, doesn't Shi Hao, who has been training in the West Camp all the year round, not know that this assessment will be such a result? ā€œ

Hearing Li Qing's rhetorical question, Shi Hao nodded clearly, as a brigade commander in the West Camp in the past, Shi Hao naturally knew the actual situation of the West Camp better than others, but it was one thing for him to know it, and now it was another thing to be naked by others.

didn't take into account what Shi Hao thought, Li Qing's face showed a stern look, and said lightly: "According to the agreement, those who fail to pass this assessment will be exploited by those with military status, and those without military status will be kicked out of the West Battalion. ā€œ

The surprising Shi Hao did not obey the order immediately, looking at Li Qing in front of him, he hesitated for a long time, and then Shi Hao said tentatively: "Your Highness, more than half of the soldiers in this assessment are unqualified, if you rashly eliminate all these soldiers, I am afraid that the army's morale will be unstable, and accidents will inevitably occur at that time." ā€œ

nodded, understanding that what Shi Hao said was also true, after all, most of these soldiers chose to join the army because they wanted to eat with their mouths, and now they rashly ruined their jobs, don't say that Li Qing is just an unworthy Jiannan Dao Festival envoy, even if His Majesty is here today, they are not willing.

Looking at Li Qing's slightly moved expression, Shi Hao continued to speak: "Besides, the hasty departure of more than a thousand sergeants is bound to be the strength of the Western Battalion is unprecedentedly empty, and in such a short period of time, it is difficult for me to find some fresh soldiers to fill such a big vacancy." ā€œ

With a wave of his hand, he interrupted Li Qing's persuasion, and then said slowly: "Of course, you can't eliminate all these people at once, this king means to withdraw their sergeant status in batches, during this period, you can post notices in the counties near Chengdu to recruit strong men, and those who meet the conditions can be accommodated." ā€œ

Of course, for those soldiers who were removed from the army, each of them was given ten strings of Kaiyuan Tongbao coins, which was enough for them to live in peace and stability for more than a year, and the king was also benevolent to them.

nodded, and completely agreed with Li Qing's arrangement. Then Shi Hao said with an exclamation on his face: "Your Highness, in fact, although the assessment is not satisfactory, but some soldiers are a blockbuster, there are more than 200 soldiers in this martial arts test who choose to challenge the Qing Moth Guard, those who pass the midterm results, more than 50 people, and more than 20 people are on par with His Royal Highness's Qing Moth Guard, and four of them defeated His Royal Highness's Qing Moth Wei on the spot." ā€œ

It has to be amazing, even if he is still in a high position, but Shi Hao's idea of valuing martial arts and light literature in his bones has never changed, the reason why Shi Hao admires the young man in front of him, in addition to the grace of cultivation, is more that the young man in front of him in front of hundreds of sergeants killed the boss of Longhu Village who has been in Chengdu for nearly ten years.

This is where Shi Hao is convinced by the young man in front of him, if it weren't for that, even if he relied on the identity of the Jiannan Dao Jiedu envoy, Shi Hao would never bend over him, if Shi Hao knew how to observe even the slightest bit of words and feelings, other skills, he would definitely not just mix a small brigade commander under the Xian Yu brothers.

showed a surprised expression, although the Qing Moth Guard sent this time was not the most elite member, but others did not know Li Qing but clearly knew that even if it was an ordinary member of the Qing Moth Guard, he would definitely be a soldier king in the military camp, but now Shi Hao clearly told himself that there were more than 20 people who could fight with these Qing Moth Guards, and four people defeated them on the spot, how could Li Qing not be surprised?
