Chapter 83: The Future of the Boys' Army + Shooting (3,000 words)

Regarding the transfer of a lieutenant under his command to become the Guoyi Lieutenant of Zhichong Mansion, there is basically no objection to this point - although the Junior Army has always existed as Li Zhen's private army, and all the officers have names but have not entered the ranks, but those who can be captains in the Junior Army are definitely qualified to be a Guoyi Lieutenant from the fifth grade, and even if they are Lieutenants of Zhichong, it is more than enough, as for those commanders, they are even completely qualified to serve as the generals of the Sixteenth Guard- Even those veterans in the army agree with this, and even if they don't approve of it, they won't oppose it.

In fact, many people have written to the imperial court, wanting to turn the youth army into the regular army of the Tang Dynasty, and it is really a waste for such an elite to be the prince's guard.

But in the face of this kind of peach picking behavior, Li Zhen obviously will not agree, after all, this is his hard work, and it is also the capital for him to settle down in this world, where can he let it go so easily? In the end, even if he was too annoyed by being harassed, Li Zhen only promised to install the retired officers from the Cadet Army in the local area and transfer them to the navy or army according to their wishes.

Although there is a suspicion of inserting henchmen, Li Zhen is now the prince, even if he inserts a little henchman, no one will say anything, not to mention that the youth army itself is an elite, and there are a huge number of them, if they are abandoned because they are born under the prince, it will be a pity.

What's more, after these officers arrived, they would follow Li Zhen's instructions to turn the concepts they learned from the youth army into knowledge and convey them to the local armies again, which indeed improved the quality of many troops and made the Tang Dynasty's military strength invisibly improve a lot, so that no one said anything.

And this Li Liang is the person arranged by Li Zhen, in fact, Li Liang is not the first person to directly achieve the position of Guoyi Lieutenant, before him, there are many people who retired due to injuries who were sent to various Zhichong Prefecture or Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and Metropolitan Protectorate and even the forbidden army to hold similar positions, and their performance is also quite amazing, so there is a saying in the army's 'Produced by the Boy Army, it must be a high-quality product', although this is a bit cliché, but it also proves the excellent quality of officers from the Boy Army from the side.

Li Zhen is quite recognizable of this - this is also what he has trained hard for several years, and led them to fight on the battlefield, although these young soldiers may not be as good as those elites from famous generals after they are transformed into officers, but their quality is definitely first-class, definitely much stronger than those mud legs who climbed up from the bottom.

Later, after a few years of training, after those gentlemen graduated from the Cadet Army, after returning home, the change was almost unrecognizable to their relatives, and the change was almost as if they had completely changed a person from the inside out - is this still the same usual gentleman? That's too much of a change, isn't it? In the past, my own children were just a plague chicken, and they didn't pay attention all day long, either fighting or bullying the market, which simply broke their hearts as parents.

But now? It's almost a big transformation, not only has it changed its previous decadence, but on the contrary, even sitting, lying and walking have a spirit, and its usual behavior is no longer based on eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, but has begun to take over the family's industry, and handle things in an orderly manner, which ...... It's a miracle.

While gratifying the great changes in their children, they are naturally more grateful as parents for the young army and the prince Li Zhen who can change their children to righteousness, and they support Li Zhen even more in their hearts.

And the performance of their children also made those parents who did not send their children into the Cadet Army regret it at the beginning, and at the same time made up their minds that once the Cadet Army recruited again, they would immediately send their children in - it was only three or five years, and the reluctance and worry of three or five years were exchanged for a perfect child, and this business was simply a sure profit.

So much so that now, although there has been no war for several years, the momentum of the Boys' Army has never declined, and there are even some bigwigs who pleaded with Li Zhen to let their children enter the Boys' Army to study. Especially those parents who have children in the family, who are not good at writing and martial arts, and only know how to walk birds and tease dogs, and bully and dominate the market, they almost have to kneel down for Li Zhen.

And the facts have proved that these parents' choices are right, in the youth army, no one gives these gentlemen the opportunity to run rampant, and it is impossible for someone to pat their ass, each of them here is not a simple role, not at all those gentlemen can be bullied, on the contrary, they belong to the object of bullying, if you want not to be bullied, you can only work hard to get on this road - most of the children here are orphans, they know that the youth army is almost their only way to get in, Therefore, the training is very hard, how can it be compared with the mere gentlemen? Without the maintenance of parents, what are these gentlemen? Not even as good as ordinary people, let alone these elites?

And Li Zhen also plans to disband the Boys' Army after a while, when he ascends the throne - not completely, of course, but the first batch of Boys' Troops should be disbanded. Over the years, they have suffered a lot with themselves, fighting the battlefield, and they have already doubled the efforts they have given them, and it would be really too much to limit their future.

What's more, now they are all about the same age as themselves, the youngest is already twenty-two years old, and the oldest is even twenty-five years old, Li Zhen named them the Boy Army, naturally not just because they were teenagers when they first became an army, but this itself was Li Zhen's plan - he had already planned it when he first established the Boy Army, and when these Boy Army was thoroughly trained, he would disband the Boy Army, and then turn them into tinder and spread it to the grassroots of the Tang Dynasty. On the whole, the military quality of the Datang soldiers will be raised to a higher level.

Of course, Li Zhen naturally won't tell them this kind of thing now, after all, Li Zhen's most taboo is to stand up, if you really tell them, if God doesn't give face, and at the last moment, you will really want to cry without tears.

Without further ado, let's get down to business and set our sights on Area Four.

"Lord Lieutenant, what should we do now?" At this time, there was chaos everywhere on the streets, and some gangsters even dared to blatantly rob merchants in front of the army, and their attitude was so arrogant that even ordinary pawns couldn't help it.

"What to do? Of course, he did what Captain Sima said. Hearing the inquiries of his subordinates, Li Liang couldn't help but sneer: "These scum are really dead, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only let them live a few days ago, and today they actually dare to come out and die, do you really think that the sentence that the law does not blame the public can be used in front of His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

"But ......" a town general on the side of the town said: "There are so many people, if we act rashly, it will cause great chaos, those gangsters are not sorry to die, but the people will be unlucky." ”

Li Liang was also a little hesitant when he heard this, but when he thought of His Royal Highness the Prince's entrustment to him before leaving, he couldn't help gritting his teeth and said coldly: "It's okay, as the saying goes, use heavy codes in troubled times, catch them first, and then talk about it, now the situation is so urgent, the enemy may come at any time, in such a situation, where do we have time to fight with these scumbags?" They are the advance troops sent by the enemy, just to make trouble for us.

For the sake of the stability of Coconut Harbor in times of war, other ...... I can't care about it...... What's more, the deputy governor has an order to kill all enemies who resist, but anyone who resists will be killed directly by the ninth brother...... Follow the orders, whatever happens, I'm responsible for everything......"

"Yes." For what these gangsters did, the soldiers were also very blind, there was no order before, so naturally they could only watch, but now with Li Liang's guarantee, what are they worried about? Suddenly pounced like hungry wolves, and pressed the thugs who were robbing, smashing and setting fire to the ground - these thugs don't look at them one by one, but where are the opponents of the well-trained elite soldiers? All kinds of screams rang out at the scene.

"Ouch, stop fighting, I surrender...... Oops, don't slap your face, don't slap your face....... ”

"Damn bastard, how dare you hit me? You're done, you're done, you're done, you're done. ”

"You idiots, are you still obsessed? I advise you to surrender the city as soon as possible, otherwise the day the city is broken will be your death. ”

"Coconut Harbor is doomed, what are you doing here if you don't surrender...... Ouch ......"

"I am the guard of the Tianya Chamber of Commerce, which of you is in charge? Still not coming forward for me? Otherwise, grandpa will kill you one by one, do you believe it or not? ”

“……”

The scene was chaotic, some people immediately disarmed and surrendered after being punched twice, and some people not only did not admit their mistakes after being beaten, but their attitudes were extremely arrogant, revealing their backgrounds, and some directly resisted. Those who surrendered directly were locked up and pulled aside, and those with an arrogant attitude were beaten and pulled aside and locked up, as for those who were still resisting......

"Phew!"

“……”

A crisp gunshot rang out, and then the scene immediately became quiet, everyone looked at the smoking muzzle in a daze, and then saw that the guy who claimed to be the guard of the Tianya Chamber of Commerce had fallen in a pool of blood, and they were all dumbfounded, looking at Li Liang in disbelief - you really dare to shoot? Didn't you say you don't have a lot of bullets? Is it really good to just waste it?
