Shang Fangjian, afternoon.

Liu Min, the superintendent of Zuo Sutai, came to report on the investigation of the Hu Guan of the original Jiuding Office.

In addition to Wu Yanzhi, the participants also included Wang Songbai, the young eunuch of Shang Fang, Sun Heng, and Cheng Du Chongxun. The original Hu Cheng has been promoted to Yongzhou Sima, and it is this Cheng Du Chongxun who is currently following Wu Yanzhi.

Shang Fang Jian has a total of four ministers, each sentenced to a share of affairs; There are two juvenile supervisors, and there is currently only one Wang Songbai.

It should be said here that even if there are two young eunuchs, it is also a general sentence, that is, each young eunuch must sign all the documents, not each of them is in charge of one share.

In the Tang Dynasty's administration, the system of general judgment of the deputy positions of each unit was very different from the current system of deputy positions, and it is said that it was intended to reduce the responsibilities of senior officials.

Of course, the deputy position in the Tang Dynasty was generally only high-paid, but in fact did not have much power, just like a deputy head of state.

"According to the detailed investigation and questioning of the manager, the lowly official basically clarified the situation. At that time, there were indeed more than 100,000 catties of copper in the factory, and the records of the relevant personnel had been made, all of which were here. Please Wu Gong check carefully! Liu Min handed over a large number of things.

Wu Yanzhi flipped through it casually and handed it to Young Eunuch Wang. He mainly handed over this matter to Sun Heng to deal with, and Qi Xuan was mainly in charge of the affairs of the foreign metallurgical supervisor.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll take a look at the materials with Young Eunuch Wang and Judge Sun, and if there is no problem, the case will be closed!" Wu Yanzhi said lightly.

"Yes!" Liu Min looked at Wu Yanzhi's expression and breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he had already seen that this Liu Yushi didn't want to offend Wu Sansi and wanted to close the case as soon as possible. As for whether there are really more than 100,000 catties of copper, only Wu Sansi and Hu Guan and others know.

Wu Yanzhi didn't care too much, this kind of thing that even the emperor didn't care about, if he had to investigate, not only would Wu Sansi be unhappy, but it would also make the emperor uncomfortable.

Even Baiguan will not be comfortable, because Wu Sansi is his uncle; In ancient times, except for major crimes such as rebellion, the following were never allowed!

Wang Songbai is an old bureaucrat, who has climbed from a low position such as a county lieutenant and a chief bookkeeper to a high-ranking Beijing official today, and of course he understands the truth.

He just glanced at it briefly, and handed it to Judge Sun: "Please also ask Judge Sun to take a closer look, Liu Yushi has always been cautious in handling things, and there should be no problem in thinking about it." He also had a look of indifference.

"Yes!" Sun Heng took it respectfully and began to look at it slowly!

……

North of the city, Xuanwu Gate.

This is the garrison of the left and right Yulin Army of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army and the Thousand Cavalry Battalion.

Wu Yanzhi came here to discuss with Li Duozuo, the general of the Right Yulin, to form the Lei Cavalry Battalion.

It rained heavily a few days ago, but today it was sunny and almost cloudless, and the climate was quite muggy. Of course, the left and right Yulin Army are stationed on the left and right of Xuanwu Gate.

When I came to the outside of the camp, I saw the flag fluttering, very solemn; Ten soldiers on each side of the two fires were neatly guarded around the camp gates.

Wu Yanzhi is also the general of the Right Yulin Army, and he handed over the fish talisman and said goodbye. As soon as a soldier saw the four purple-clothed senior officials, he hurriedly reported in, and a captain on duty came over to salute the military, and immediately sent someone to run to inform the general Li Duozuo and Changshi Niu Jinguo, and then led Wu Yanzhi in himself.

Wu Yanzhi still gently asked a few words about the situation of the captain, as well as the situation in the barracks.

That Li Duozuo was a general of the Ya tribe, and he was very brave in battle; This year is also very young, only forty years old. He heard the captain's report, and hurriedly ran to the door of the office with more than a dozen people including Niu Changshi, Zhu Cao to join the army, Zhonglang General, and Lang General to greet him.

"See Li Gong!"

"Wu Lang is exempt, please come in quickly!" Li Duozuo was extremely enthusiastic.

Entering the house, Li Duozuo introduced everyone one by one, and arranged for Changshi to arrange an office room and guards and officers on duty for Wu Yanzhi.

(Note: In ancient times, there were civilian officials in the army, and Changshi and Zhu Cao's participation in the army belonged to civilian positions; The long history is from the six products, consistent with the staff outside the Lang, the civil director. Civilians are in charge of books and supplies, and officers are only in charge of training and fighting)

Wu Yanzhi handed over the official he proposed to nominate to Li Duozuo. Li Duozuo glanced at it, and then handed it to Niu Changshidao:

"Just follow General Wu's list. The newly established Thunder Cavalry Battalion should also be equipped with five civilian posts, including a soldier Cao, a foreign record, and three officials;

Civilian officials, military officers, and other personnel who are lacking should be promptly notified to the heavenly and summer officials to make timely arrangements, and they must report within 10 days. ”

"Yes!" Niu Changshi said.

Wu Yanzhi then said: "The garrison location of the Lei Cavalry Battalion has been chosen, and it is in Anning Township, five miles away from the Yulin Army garrison in the north of the city. General Li can also inspect the place at any time. ”

"Good! However, this newly established thunder cavalry battalion based on firearms, the contemptible people don't understand, or Wu Lang catch it more! "He's also very humble.

............................... Dividing Line...............................

Northern Ya Forbidden Army:

The reason why it is called the Beiya Forbidden Army is because the army is stationed in the Xuanwu Gate in the north of the city (the troops who are not on duty are outside the city), so it is called the Beiya Forbidden Army; Why be stationed at the North Gate? This is because the Son of Heaven sits in the north and faces south, and respects the north;

Moreover, when the imperial city was built, the terrain in the north must be higher than in the south; This provided a natural advantage to the Beiya Forbidden Army.

1. Yulin Army;

Because the left and right Yulin Army is developed from the North Gate Camp, the North Gate Camp used to be called "Flying Cavalry", so the left and right Yulin Army is the left and right flying horses, and there is no separate Yulin Army.

At this time, there were 6,000 flying horses, and 1,000 people took turns to enter the Xuanwu Gate every month; The rest of the soldiers were stationed in the barracks outside the city, where they were trained.

2. Thousand Cavalry Battalion;

The Thousand Cavalry Battalion was developed from the elite "Hundred Cavalry" in the left and right Yulin Army, and later developed into the "Ten Thousand Cavalry", and then it was the left and right Dragon Martial Army in the Tang Xuanzong period.

Among them, the commander of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion is nominally under the jurisdiction of General Yulin, but in fact it is directly under the emperor, and no one else has the right to manage it.

3. Wyvern Guards;

There was also an irregular army of 400 men in Miyagi, which was the closest to the emperor, and this was the "Wyvern Child" who was managed by the envoy who managed the Wyvern stable. The army had only been in existence for three months, and it was commanded by eunuchs.

To put it more clearly, the "Flying Dragon Child" is a cavalry composed of a group of men who are proficient in riding skills who manage the imperial horses in Miyagi. Of course, most of them are also eunuchs, and some are lowly officials, slaves, etc.

4. The relationship between the Southern and Northern Ya armies;

To put it simply, the Southern Ya army is equivalent to serving the country, and the Northern Ya army is equivalent to serving the emperor. Although the path of fiscal expenditure is the same.

Of course, during the Wu Zetian period, the southern and northern yas were not completely separated, and officers were often transferred to each other; However, in the period of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the two were clearly distinguished, and the officers of the Northern Ya had their own system, and the officers of the Southern Ya were not allowed to enter the Northern Ya.

5. Sources of soldiers;

The soldiers of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army are recruited professional soldiers, and the soldiers of the Southern Ya are peasants who serve in turns, and the gap between the two is huge; The combat effectiveness is of course also different.

6. The relationship between generals, generals, middle generals, and left and right generals;

(1) Generals, generals;

It should be explained here that the general is not the deputy position of the great general, which is different from the relationship between the squire and the monk, the deputy of the squire and the squire; The two are mainly in charge of laws and regulations, and oversee the military government under their jurisdiction; The real commander of his subordinates is actually the Zhonglang General.

(2) Zhonglang generals, left and right Lang generals;

The left and right Lang will be the deputy of the middle lang general.
