The recruitment of the Praetorian Guard is in charge of the Ministry of War, and Fan Yao is in charge of the bad guys, so he has no time to take care of it. Li Ji asked the deputy marshal to order Hu Yunlong to cooperate with the military department to be responsible for the recruitment arrangements of the Praetorian Guard.

With so many people at once, the placement of barracks is a problem. Fortunately, the imperial court is now strong and not short of money, although there is a lack of weapons and equipment, but it is finally almost settled.

The newly recruited forbidden army is filled with part of Kong Jie and Zhan Yunpeng's left and right Dragon and Tiger Army, and the rest have established the left and right Yulin Army, but the position of commander of this Yulin Army is temporarily vacant, and Li Ji has not yet found a suitable candidate.

The reason why Fan Yao brought Linghu Yunlong into the palace to face the saint was because he knew more about these newly recruited Praetorian Guards.

How to resist Zhu Youwen's offensive is Li Ji's top priority at present.

Although the Praetorian Guard numbered in the thousands, they were all new recruits who had just put down their hoes and picked up their spears. It is definitely not possible to expect them to fight, for fear that they will pee their pants before they reach the battlefield. Once someone is timid and begins to retreat, the consequences are unimaginable.

Some people don't want to live, and no one is not afraid of death. Once there is a rout on the battlefield, one can roll up ten, ten can roll away a hundred, and a hundred routs can sweep away all.

Recruits must undergo rigorous training before they can fight the enemy.

"I originally wanted to have half a year, even if I was given three months, and I could train a new recruit in a hurry. It's not okay to siege the city, but it's still okay to defend the city. But now that the enemy is about to attack, what can I resist? Li Ji was a little weak-hearted.

Linghu Yunlong, who had never spoken, said: "Your Majesty, this is not the most terrifying, what is terrible is that we can only win and not lose in a war with Zhu Youwen." To win, you need to win all, and you can't win badly. ”

"Why?" Li Ji asked strangely.

"Oh, I see." Li Ji immediately reacted: "You mean that the reason why the feudal towns are all watching now is completely to see the ability of the imperial court to fight. Once they saw that the imperial court was powerless to resist, they would take advantage of the opportunity to attack. ”

Linghu Yunlong nodded: "Exactly, especially King Li Keyong of Jin, he must be watching at the moment." If the imperial court easily defeated Zhu Youwen, they would not dare to act rashly. If we lose both, even if we win, I'm afraid he will continue to fight. ”

Linghu Yunlong said it well, the reason why Li Keyong didn't do it for a long time. He was really waiting, he just wanted to see the combat effectiveness of the imperial court.

Therefore, Li Ji must win, and he must fight beautifully, so that those feudal towns can be afraid. What can be beaten? Take the head to fill it, Zhu Youwen's coalition army is a veteran of a hundred battles.

"Your Majesty, the left and right Yulin armies are in command of the envoys, and please ask Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible." Fan Yao said that this army has been established, but the selection of generals has become a problem.

Famous generals often have the ability to turn things around, but it is difficult to find a general, and Li Ji is now lacking such talents.

"Linghu Yunlong, I ask you. If Zhu Youwen commits a crime, you will be the coach, how should you attack? ”

Ling Hu Yunlong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the emperor to ask him this question.

Fan Yao seemed to have expected it: "Yunlong, Your Majesty asked you."

Linghu Yunlong came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if he deals with Zhu Youwen, the court may not be sure of victory."

"Go on." Li Ji looked at the map and didn't raise his head. He doesn't like people who talk highly, and now he's burning his ass, and he doesn't have much interest in talking about war on paper.

Who knew that Linghu Yunlong's next words completely shocked Li Ji, and he only heard Linghu Yunlong say: "Your Majesty, there are many Praetorian Guards, and we occupy the right time and place." The only thing we have is that our recruits have never been on the battlefield and have no combat experience. Once you encounter a bloody battlefield, it is likely to disperse in a hurry. Most of these recruits are from ordinary people, what do the people lack most? ”

Li Ji was stunned for a moment, he still knew this: "What the people lack is food and clothing."

There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Ling Hu Yunlong's mouth: "Your Majesty, as long as they are fed and clothed, they will naturally swear allegiance to the death."

"What do you mean?" Li Ji raised his head.

"Your Majesty, the land is the lifeblood of the people. As long as His Majesty decrees, all those who participate in the Praetorian Guard and win the war with Zhu Youwen will be rewarded with all the land by the imperial court, and all the rewarded land will be privately owned, and it can only be rented out but not sold, and there will be no taxes on it. The people value the land more than their lives, and with the land, they will fight to the death. Then it is to transfer Kong Jie's Left Dragon Tiger Army and Zhan Yunpeng's Right Dragon Tiger Army to the front line as pioneers. After all, both armies are veterans of battlefield battles, and having them take the lead in the attack will boost morale. ”

The land was rewarded by the imperial court, and no taxes were paid. That is to say, as long as you participate in the forbidden army and win the battle, the court will give you land, and the land will always be yours, and the court will not collect any taxes.

What a temptation this is, and all dynasties have not dared to say that the land will never be taxed.

Although the Yongye land of the Tang Dynasty is generally not returned to the state, it is land with hereditary rights and has an obvious private nature. However, although Yongyetian is privately owned, this private ownership is incomplete, and the state still has the right to change.

But these rewarded lands are different from Yongye Field, which is the land that will always belong to you. As long as you plant, you will not have to pay taxes for the rest of your life, and you will not be able to annex land, which is given by the emperor and you can only rent it out, not buy or sell.

Li Ji looked at Fan Yao: "Is this plan feasible?"

Fan Yao arched his hand and nodded: "The minister thinks it is feasible."

Ling Hu Yunlong continued: "Orders are prohibited, military law is strictly enforced, and soldiers must be allowed to govern the army strictly, so as to create a tiger and wolf army."

Li Ji knows that if he chooses the right celebrity, he can have the opportunity to turn the tables against the sky. It is not based on origin, but on personal ability.

Han Xinyuan was just a civilian, and Wei Qing was just a slave. Gold will always shine, as long as they are good at discovering talents, they can always become famous generals through the ages.

There is Bole in the world, and then there is Maxima. Maxima often has, but Bole does not often have.

Li Ji is Linghu Yunlong's Bole, and so is Fan Yao. The purpose of letting Ling Hu Yunlong enter the palace was also to recommend him, but he didn't expect Li Ji to think the same as Fan Yao, and he knew that this was a talent.

Fan Yao couldn't help but admire it even more, His Majesty was really looking at him like a torch.

But even so, if you want to defeat Zhu Youwen, who has been through a hundred battles, I am afraid that it will still be difficult, but this is the only way for now.

Li Ji slapped the table: "I want to drive the expedition in person and personally command!"

Ling Hu Yunlong wanted to persuade, but Fan Yao shook his head, it seemed that he had already planned to do so: "If Your Majesty is a personal expedition, you need to pay attention to safety at all times." The minister risked his life to play, and asked His Majesty to promise the minister that he would never be involved in danger on the front line. ”

Fan Yao still overestimated Li Ji, and he wouldn't do anything about sending him to death. Li Ji nodded: "I promise you." Linghu Yunlong, I will appoint you as the commander of the left Yulin army of the forbidden army, and Fan Yao will temporarily serve as the commander of the right Yulin army. Together with Kong Jie and Zhan Yunpeng, the Dragon and Tiger Army will meet Zhu Youwen with me! ”
