Two days later, Cuihua Mountain.

In the ninth year of Wude's Turkic invasion of the border, burning, killing and looting, a large number of displaced people in the northern part of Guanzhong and northern Shanxi moved to the Guanzhong area, because of the favorable conditions of the Emperor Taishang in Cuihua Mountain, the number of displaced people here is increasing day by day, including the people of Fengzhou and surrounding states and counties.

Cuihua Mountain, originally the Shanglin Garden in the Qin Dynasty, was also a royal hunting place. Therefore, even if it is deserted, no one dares to take a step beyond the thunder pool, but with the permission of the Emperor Taishang, the wasteland around Cuihua Mountain has gradually developed into fertile land, fertile for hundreds of miles.

Therefore, Li Ke's team to establish the Zhichong Mansion was placed on these people.

And the people gathered in Cuihua Mountain heard that there was a battle to fight in Fengzhou, and they still bullied the Turks who burned, killed and looted back then, and they were all excited like chicken blood.

It's hard to leave my homeland, even though I've been away from Toyosu for three years.

The conscription office was temporarily placed in Weijia Village.

After Wei Ziyang checked the roster, he reported to Emperor Taishang and Li Ke, King of Wu: "Daojun, King Wu, there are only one hundred and thirty-two people who have applied today, of which eighty-three are between the ages of sixteen and twenty, and the rest are under the age of fifty, by the way, there are two or three child soldiers, fourteen years old. ”

"This person ......," Li Ke frowned.

"His Royal Highness King Wu, there are already a lot of these people, there are nearly 5,000 people under Cuihua Mountain, but there are not many of them who are from good families, and there are less than 300 people, so it is not bad to be able to recruit so many people." Wei Ziyang explained.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the government soldier system was implemented, and the government soldier was not anyone who wanted to participate, at least it was a rich landlord, and the family could have at least a good bow. And the reason why the soldiers of Guanlong Mansion can become the elite of the world is inseparable from the long-term war with the outside world, and the better families will have armor such as iron armor and even Mingguang armor, and some even have cavalry weapons - horse lances.

The cost of the horse lance is staggering, and the use of only scrapped wood can make ten strong bows, and the production process is not only complicated, but also time-consuming, requiring a three-year wait, but only a forty percent chance of success.

"So...... This is also possible, tomorrow Lone will ask his father for an edict to set up recruitment points in the surrounding counties of Chang'an, otherwise it will be difficult to form even a Zhichong Mansion. Li Ke worried.

Fengzhou is a place of border fortresses, not as good as Guanzhong, after experiencing several Turkic disturbances on the border, it is even more empty.

Li Shimin gave him the establishment of three Zhechong Mansions, each with 1,500 people, which is considered a medium Zhechong Mansion.

If you don't recruit troops in Guanzhong, then you will have no source of soldiers and no elite in Fengzhou.

"No, Ke'er, even if your father agrees to this edict, other courtiers will not agree." Li Yuan shook his head and said.

The eldest grandson Wuji and other courtiers expected Li Ke to make mistakes, not to make meritorious contributions. It will definitely not allow him to recruit smoothly, and the Guanzhong government soldiers cannot be transferred, and most of them have already joined the army.

If you want to recruit, how difficult it is.

"So what? You can't sit still. Li Ke said helplessly, according to his estimate, Fengzhou is afraid that a single Zhichong Mansion will not be full.

"There's a way." Li Yuan pursed his lips and said reluctantly: "In fact, you can recruit Turks, and use the Tang people as the grassroots level of the government soldiers, but it's just ..... There will be chaos for a long time, Rong Di is not my race. ”

It is not uncommon for the Tang Dynasty to recruit foreign races as a source of soldiers, but after the early Tang Dynasty, the main force of the army was changed from Guanlongfu soldiers to foreign races.

At that time, the twelve guards stationed in Chang'an were two or three big cats and small cats, and the troops in the hands of the border army were enough to crush the Beijing army.

When the balance is broken, it is the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion.

"Actually, there is another way......." Wei Ziyang arched his hand at the two of them, and said with a smile: "Ziyang's family is in the frontier, so he knows something about the Turks, there are many Turkic tribes, many tribes have old grievances, His Royal Highness King Wu wants to be in charge of the army, he must not make it unified, so that the grudge tribes will be united into a brigade, and then the Tang people will serve as the brigade commander, and each will set up a main and deputy brigade, and there will be no favoritism in everything, and the Turkic people will be used by me for a long time." ”

"That's right." Li Ke nodded, then looked at Wei Ziyang seriously, and asked, "Brother Ziyang, can you understand the feud of the grassland tribe?" ”

The truth is this, everyone knows Sun Tzu's Art of War, but who can say how to implement it?

The Turkic tribes have different minds, but if no one is familiar with their complex history of grievances, then there is no way to talk about division and suppression.

Wei Ziyang smiled lightly and said: "Unfortunately, when Ziyang was in Fengzhou, he had heard about the internal affairs of the Turkic tribes for a long time......

After that, he bowed slightly, and said solemnly: "Ziyang is willing to be an eagle dog for King Wu, and I only ask King Wu to let me kill the enemy and avenge my eldest brother." ”

Hearing this, Li Yuan recalled that when Wei Ziyang and his sister-in-law came to Chang'an in the ninth year of Wude, his sister-in-law almost sold her body, just to let Wei Ziyang and her children live.

But I didn't think about it, there was such a play.

Li Ke helped Wei Ziyang up, which can be regarded as agreeing, he happens to lack a guide in Fengzhou, there is no doubt that Wei Ziyang by the emperor's grandfather is the most suitable.

Li Yuan, who was on the side, also looked at Wei Ziyang with a smile, and said: "Ziyang, you are gone, the sows of a pig factory are still waiting for you, you don't want to go back forever." ”

Everyone has their own ambitions, and Li Yuan will not force Wei Ziyang to stay by his side.

As for...... Pig factory, let's let his good apprentice Hui Ri be in charge, anyway, he likes to kill pigs......

Seven days passed in a hurry. During this period, the Emperor Taishang also asked Li Shimin to bring Xiao Meiniang over, bought a house in Xingqingfang, and arranged her to move in.

It's just that these things can't escape the rumors in the market, and the people of Chang'an also have a relationship that has to be said between Emperor Taishang and Empress Xiao.

Li Ke, the king of Wu, also asked his father for an edict to recruit soldiers and horses around Chang'an, but without surprise, he was refuted by Menxia Province, and the edict returned to Li Shimin's case.

At the same time, the Emperor Taishang also asked the medical school whether he was willing to follow King Wu to the frontier to establish meritorious deeds, and as expected, these poor scholars heard that there were official positions waiting for them, so they enthusiastically signed up. Although the road ahead may be difficult, it is better than nothing, Datang is an official, and it is still possible to enter the court as an official if you work hard.

At this moment, Li Ke, the king of Wu, directly recruited nearly 100 medical school scholars, accounting for almost one-third of the soldiers in his Zhichong Mansion, these will be the grassroots level in the army, with them, it is easy to build a mature army.

On May 24, on the edge of the Baqiao.
