Volume II, Chapter 19, Contest for Throne

Hey, it's a new week again, Lao Mao begging for a recommendation ticket.

In the following days, Shi Wansui was surprised, the food of the soldiers became more and more abundant, not only the rice and noodles continued, but all kinds of fresh vegetables and meat also increased one after another, and the whole army smiled, and this little marquis, when the uncle of the dynasty, the hussar general, ate and lived in the barracks for more than ten days in a row, and the soldiers ate the same meals, often asked some soldiers long and short, and the soldiers looked at him with more and more respect.

Half a month later, all kinds of military materials allocated by the court were made up for the Xuanlong Army, and the military salaries owed before were also paid.

Although Emperor Zhou Xuan is suspicious, but Yang Jian is in the case of Taoguang and obscurity, he will not directly oppose even the most absurd decisions of Emperor Zhou Xuan, Emperor Zhou Xuan still has to rely on his own father-in-law to stabilize the country, Yang Jian has now changed from the last of the four auxiliary ministers to the big front suspicion, and the original big front suspicion Yue Wang Yu Wensheng has been driven out of the capital by Emperor Zhou Xuan.

In addition, Zheng Yi, the favorite minister of Emperor Xuan of Zhou, is Yang Jian's classmate, and Liu Fang is also friendly with Yang Jian, it can be said that the government of the Great Zhou Dynasty is actually in the hands of Zheng Yi, Liu Fang, and Yang Jian.

Compared with Shi Wansui's inaction for a year, Yang Tian solved all these problems in half a month, whether it was an ordinary officer or soldier, there was no trace of resistance to Yang Tian.

Shi Wansui was able to suppress the Xuanlong Army a year ago, completely relying on his prestige and personal martial arts in the army, but these soldiers not only have to eat themselves, but also have to support their families, compared to personal martial arts, it is undoubtedly more important for them to have enough food and support their families.

Li Quan originally had an opinion on Shi Wansui's confrontation with Shangguan, and he was friendly with Li Gang, after seeing Yang Tian's methods, Li Quan was convinced by Yang Tian, and immediately told Yang Tian all the situation of the Xuanlong Army, with Li Quan's help, although Shi Wansui was not happy, Yang Tian quickly controlled most of the military power.

Due to the fear that the Xuanlong Army would mutiny, after the King of Qi was executed, many of the original officers of the Xuanlong Army were transferred, and everyone knew that the emperor was not worried about the Xuanlong Army, and no one was willing to transfer to the Xuanlong Army, which led to the lack of a large number of officers in the Xuanlong Army.

With so many vacancies, it seriously affected the combat effectiveness of the Xuanlong Army, Shi Wansui didn't think about making up for it, but his request to the court was not allowed, and Shi Wansui could only cry out in vain.

And this is not a problem for Yang Tian at all, Yang Tian first asked the court to appoint Li Quan as the general of Yitong, and the court quickly approved it, and the other officers allowed Yang Tian to appoint it on his own.

Although the owner and the general Yitong are one level apart, the treatment is not the same, the general Yitong can open the mansion, grant the county man, the county, the county earl and other titles, Shi Wanzai because of his father's shadow, but also awarded the title of the Duke of Taiping County, many owners can not take a step forward in their lives, only to do the general Yitong, can it really be said that the glory of the ancestors, soaring, but also can be crowned wife and son, Li Quan was promoted to a level without credit, and suddenly aroused a jealous and envious gaze.

Wang Shu is even more full of grievances, he has been in the position of the master for five years and has not been promoted, and Li Quan was just a deputy a year ago, but he didn't expect to be promoted to another level just by currying favor with Yang Tian a few times, since Li Quan was promoted, every time the two met, Wang Shu had to show contemptuous eyes.

For Wang Shu's behavior, Li Quan was too lazy to explain, Yang Tian was the superior sent to him by the court, in his opinion, loyalty to his superiors was a matter of course, but it was Shi Wansui, Wang Shu and the two of them continued to make some small moves, which were not fair, of course, it was also his wish to be a general.

As soon as Li Quanyi was promoted, it was equivalent to vacating the position of the owner of the building, Yang Shi, Yang Miao, Luo Yi and others were staring at these positions, even if it was Yuan Wei, it was not exempt from vulgarity, Yuan Wei used to be just a team leader in the army, and now he has the opportunity to be the head of a building, and his eyes are naturally hot, and he mentions it in front of Yang Tian from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally.

Yang Tian naturally knew that this was an opportunity to install a private person, but if he directly appointed these people as the owners of the building, except for Yuan Wei, the others had no qualifications, Luo Yi, Shi Tao and others were even adults, I am afraid that it would immediately arouse the disgust of the soldiers, and if someone has a heart to provoke it, it will not be beautiful to cause trouble.

Li Gang suggested: "General, since you are in trouble, why don't you come to a contest to win the throne." ”

Yang Tian's eyes lit up: "Compete to win the position? Yes, in addition to convincing people with military merits, the army also needs to respect strength, if Luo Yi and others compete for positions with their own skills, others will naturally have nothing to say, if they can't compete, don't blame me for increasing training for them. ”

Li Gang said: "In fact, there are two major advantages to this move, one is that you can check the strength of the Xuanlong Army, and the other is that if someone takes the position with real ability, he will naturally be loyal to the general." ”

Yang Tian nodded: "Okay, the eldest brother will be fully responsible for this matter." ”

Li Gang said with a straight face: "Great general, the Chinese discipline in the army is only a counselor for military affairs, and it should not be called so." ”

Yang Tian patted Li Gang: "Okay, Li joins the army, then this matter will be handed over to you." ”

"Yes, General."

The next day, Li Gang immediately ordered the sergeants to build a platform for a martial arts competition on the school ground, and the news that the military was going to compete in martial arts also spread, and many people immediately screamed, such a radical thing will undoubtedly make the sergeants excited, not to mention that it is also good for them, and provides an opportunity for those who are usually buried in the army to ascend to the sky with high martial arts.

Luo Yi, Shi Tao and others heard that they were going to compete in the army to win the position, and they even claimed that it was good, these two people were ready to show their skills in the competition, win the position of the two masters, and live up to Yang Tian's training, Yuan Wei was even more greedy for darkness, and kept practicing swords, and the entire military camp was full of jingling sounds, and everyone did not miss any opportunity to improve themselves.

Fortunately, Yang Tian gave an order first, not allowing private fights, and letting everyone practice their own skills, otherwise it was not time for the competition, and I am afraid that the military camp would fight first.

"Knock, knock, knock." The drum sounded, the ten big drums were placed on one side of the competition field, and the ten soldiers made great efforts to take off their upper bodies, revealing their strong muscles, and used their strength to eat milk, beating the giant drum fiercely, and the drum sound spread throughout the entire military camp, and the competition that everyone was looking forward to was finally about to begin.
