Chapter 230: Inspecting the Barracks

In fact, the reason why Gao Ming did not accept Li Shimin's fish talisman was mainly for two reasons, firstly, because he could not use it, and secondly, because Li Shimin was suspicious.

After all, a person's mind may change, but his personality is difficult to change, Gao Ming believes that when Li Shimin hands him the fish talisman again, he should be willing, but if he really takes the fish talisman away, maybe Li Shimin will regret it in a few days.

For the sake of something that is not useful, to risk being suspected by Li Shimin, this kind of loss-making business will not be done.

For Gao Ming, he still attaches the most importance to the hundred cavalry guards, so after coming out of Li Shimin's residence, he took Huzi to the military camp outside the city.

When Gao Ming arrived at the barracks outside the city, he was immediately surprised to find that the barracks, which originally covered an area of less than ten acres, had now expanded more than a hundredfold.

Looking at the cross-erected fences and rows of rejecting horses, as well as the soldiers standing guard at the gate of the camp, Gao Ming suddenly raised his eyebrows in some surprise.

"It's pretty decent, Huzi, let's go in and have a look!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, Gao Ming walked towards the barracks with Huzi, and when he saw Gao Ming coming, the two guards standing at the door hurriedly knelt down on one knee towards Gao Ming, and then clasped their fists and saluted.

"The little one has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, and I have seen the Lord of the Prince, and I have seen the Lord of the Prince, the Elder of the Guard, and the Yu Lin Lang!"

Seeing their respectful appearance, Gao Ming immediately laughed.

"No need to be polite, get up!"

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!"

After the two of them stood up, Gao Ming nodded.

"Well, yes, I haven't been here for more than a month, and it's changed a lot!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, one of the soldiers of the Hundred Cavalry Guards hurriedly arched his hand towards him.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, because more than 9,000 recruits have just arrived, the original military camp is not enough to live, and this military camp was actually built in the past half a month."

"I see, it seems that this kid is very fast, and he has chosen the candidate so quickly."

Speaking of this, Gao Ming laughed again.

"Since you can recognize me, then you should also be veterans, after this expansion of new soldiers, you hundred cavalry guards can be regarded as worthy of the name, at this time you don't train your recruits, why are you standing at the door?"

Hearing Gao Ming's question, the two hundred guards at the door immediately glanced at each other, and then lowered their heads and stopped talking.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming immediately frowned.

"Just say anything, you are all old people who follow me, don't you know what kind of temper I have? Don't you believe me if you hide it from me now? ”

Seeing that Gao Ming seemed to be a little angry, the two hundred cavalry guards quickly knelt down, and then spoke at Gao Ming.

"How dare the villain not believe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is how it ......"

It turned out that both of them were people who followed Zhang Sizheng to Qizhou to perform a mission, and after they came back, the two of them were tantamount to being labeled as Zhang Sizheng.

And the hundred cavalry guards selected by Su Gan Chengji were all those who had followed him to collect protection money in Chang'an, and there were also the hundred cavalry guards who were responsible for guarding the Tang Imperial Club, and those who had followed Zhang Sizheng were not used by him.

After listening to their story, Gao Ming finally understood the whole story, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, you don't have to be discouraged, the establishment of the Eastern Hundred Cavalry Guard by Su Gan Chengji, this time you are not selected, it is okay, I estimate that Zhang Sizheng will be back soon, and I will let him establish the Western Hundred Cavalry Guard at that time, and you will still be at the centurion level at that time."

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, the eyes of the two suddenly lit up, and their faces showed excited expressions.

Seeing their excited looks, Gao Ming patted the two of them on the shoulder, and then nodded at them.

"Do a good job, I'm optimistic about you!"

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince!"

Hearing the words of the two, Gao Ming nodded again, and then walked into the barracks with Huzi, leaving two hundred cavalry guards standing at the door excitedly.

After entering the barracks, Huzi, who was following Gao Ming, spoke.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I think that guy named Su Gan Chengji is not good, when I saw him yesterday, I felt that this person was not happy at all!"

Hearing Huzi's words, Gao Ming immediately felt a little funny.

"Huzi, it's not right to judge people by their appearance, although this person is not upright enough, but he also has his uses."

In fact, the approach of Su Gan Chengji is also expected by Gao Ming, after all, Su Gan Chengji is the commander of the Eastern Hundred Cavalry Guard, and the subordinates he wants naturally cannot be Zhang Sizheng's people, these belong to human nature.

Moreover, Gao Ming originally planned to let Zhang Sizheng and Su Gan Chengji restrain each other, and after Zhang Sizheng established the Western Hundred Cavalry Guards, the Eastern and Western Hundred Cavalry Guards would play a role in mutual supervision.

Therefore, the discord between Zhang Sizheng and Su Gan Chengji is what Gao Ming needs, if the two are harmonious, Gao Ming should have a headache.

The most important thing for those in power to pay attention to is not the talent and morality of their subordinates, but checks and balances.

Gao Ming knew this very well, but he didn't intend to explain this to Huzi, because even if he did, Huzi wouldn't understand.

So he waved his hand at Huzi.

"Huzi, it's not right to say bad things about others behind your back, do you know?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Huzi immediately nodded.

"Oh, I got it!"

The two walked and talked, and soon came to the center of the barracks, where the soldiers were being trained, and the content of the training was the same as that of the previous hundred cavalry guards, that is, they were holding weapons for slashing training.

These soldiers who have expanded to the Hundred Cavalry Guards are people selected from the Jinwuwei, so their foundation is not bad, and they can basically keep up with the training of the Hundred Cavalry Guards, but looking at their sweaty appearance, it must take a while to fully adapt to these trainings.

Just when Gao Ming was looking at it, the training suddenly stopped, and at the same time, a figure quickly ran towards him.

Seeing this scene, Huzi's face suddenly changed, and he blocked Gao Ming's front with a "swish", and then shouted.

"Stop coming!"

Hearing Huzi's shouting, the man hurriedly stopped, stood more than a dozen steps away from Gao Ming, and then bowed down and saluted Gao Ming.

"Weichen Su Gan Chengji didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived, and he missed the distance, and he hoped that His Royal Highness the Prince would forgive his sins!"

Seeing that the person who came was Su Gan Chengji, Gao Ming immediately stepped forward and waved his hand at him.

"It's okay, I don't like to engage in formal ideas, it doesn't matter if you welcome it or not, you just need to do your part well."

"Yes, obey the prince's orders!"

Speaking of this, Su Gan Chengji smiled at Gao Ming again.

"Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down, why don't you say a few words to these soldiers, so that they can see the majesty of His Royal Highness the Prince."

Hearing Su Gan Chengji's words, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, don't brag about me, what is not majestic, but what you said is right, these are my soldiers, let them see what I look like, then I'll go up and say a few words!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, please!"

As he spoke, Su Gan Chengji took Gao Ming to the high platform at the front of the school field, and when Gao Ming stood on it, the soldiers below immediately began to whisper.

"Who's that young man up there?"

"I don't know, it should be a big man, you didn't see that even Lord Sugan was respectful to him."

"That's it, and the guard behind him, hey, this guy is really tall......"

Hearing the discussion below, Gao Ming immediately frowned.

"Huzi, let them be quiet."

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Huzi stepped forward, and then he was angry and opened his mouth to roar.

"Silence!"

Huzi's roar was like a thunderbolt, and Gao Ming, who was caught off guard, was suddenly startled by him.

However, the effect was still very good, and with his loud roar, the surroundings also fell silent, and at this time Gao Ming walked to the front, and then opened his mouth to the soldiers below.

"Soldiers, I am your commander, that is, your general, I hope that one day you can stand in my position, because a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, work hard, let me see your value."

After speaking, Gao Ming turned around and stepped down, and when he turned around, a neat chant suddenly sounded below.

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Hearing this voice, Gao Ming didn't feel strange, although most of the recruits in this barracks now didn't know him, but a small number of veterans could still recognize him.

As this voice sounded, those recruits who didn't know Gao Ming's identity also understood that Gao Ming was the crown prince, and immediately knelt down on one knee like everyone else, and then shouted in unison.

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

In the shouts of everyone, Gao Ming walked off the high platform with a smile on his face, and suddenly stopped when he passed by Su Gan Chengji's side.

"Aki, the recruits' food must be good, there is more oil and water, the food must be fed to them, just tell me if the money is not enough, don't wronged these soldiers, understand?"

"Yes, I understand!"

Hearing Su Gan Chengji's words, Gao Ming immediately nodded.

"Well, it's good to understand, okay, it's almost time, let the soldiers disband and rest today, prepare a meal by the way, and I'll eat with them today."

When he heard Gao Ming say that he wanted to eat with the soldiers, he immediately hesitated.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this ......"

Gao Ming also knew what he wanted to say, so without waiting for him to finish, he directly waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Okay, this is my decision, you just do it, go ahead!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that Gao Ming was so resolute, Su Gan Chengji could only recruit him, and after agreeing, he went to disband the soldiers.

After Su Gan Chengji left, Gao Ming walked around the barracks, and Huzi still followed behind him with two sledgehammers, looking around vigilantly.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing.

"Huzi, this is a military camp, I'm safe, you don't have to be so careful, relax!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Huzi shook his head.

"No, until His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returns to the palace, it is not safe, so you must not let your guard down!"

Seeing that Huzi still looked vigilant, Gao Ming didn't say anything more and continued to wander around the barracks.
