With the addition of Cen Shen and Gao Shi, the conscription affairs went more smoothly, and the New Year was originally a lively day for the people of all families to stay at home for the Spring Festival and visit relatives and friends, but because of Zhao Ziliang's conscription, Chang'an City became more and more enthusiastic, and many sons of families packed up and went to the military camp outside the city to report. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan took the imperial chariot to the Huaqing Palace, after passing through the Jinguang Gate, they found that the city was very lively and extraordinary, opened the curtain of the imperial chariot and took a look, only to see a large area of open space erected endlessly, the military tent that could not be seen at a glance, the flag between the military tents was unfurled, the wind blew and swished, the military camp was blocked by a fence, every three or five steps there was a sergeant standing guard with a gun, many civilians stood outside the fence and watched the recruits who had been enlisted in the barracks were practicing under the command of the general.

"Colliers, stop!" Xuanzong immediately shouted when he saw this.

The convoy stopped, and Colliers trotted over and asked, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?" ”

Xuanzong pointed to the barracks and tents and said, "You go and ask, what's going on here?" How did you build a barracks? ”

Gao Lishi immediately arranged for a small eunuch to inquire about the news. Soon, the little eunuch who inquired about the news turned around and reported: "Your Majesty, this is the camp set up here by General Zhao Ziliang for recruitment, it is only temporary, and it will be removed after they set off after the Shangyuan Festival!" ”

"Why are so many people watching? How can there be people practicing here? Xuanzong asked again pointing to the inside and outside of the barracks.

The little eunuch said: "The reason why the people are watching is because the military camps have always been forbidden areas, and no one is allowed to stay and watch, and now Zhao Ziliang has opened the ban on allowing the people to watch in order to let the people rest assured that his nephews are sent to join the army, and the people are curious, so there are a large number of people watching." The soldiers in the barracks are all newly recruited in the past two days, no, Zhao Ziliang is in a hurry, so people are training! ”

Xuanzong's face was ugly when he heard this, "Confused, soldiers, the country's major affairs!" How can the method of practice be easily revealed? Someone came, and Zhao Ziliang came to see me! ”

Next to him, Yang Yuhuan persuaded: "Forget it, San Lang!" Since General Zhao let the people watch, it must be reasonable, and it also shows that he is not afraid of being seen as a drill, the practice is dead, and the person in charge of the drill is the key, the concubines don't understand military affairs, but they all know this, San Lang Wen Taowu strategy, how can he not know? Besides, General Zhao is very busy now, where can I have time to gossip with you here? Let's go, don't disturb his training! ”

"Wait!" Xuanzong raised his hand and stared at the recruits in the barracks practicing under the orders of the officers, who gave orders from time to time, and corrected the wrong movements of the soldiers from time to time, and couldn't help but say, "What kind of training method is this?" This kind of practice is quite novel, why haven't I seen it? ”

Yang Yuhuan said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't know, but the concubine knows, this is General Zhao's original training method, every time the concubine goes to his mansion, his subordinates and soldiers have to practice every day, whether it is cold or hot, rain or shine!" Look at the generals who are in charge of drills, they are all his personal soldiers, they are all energetic, awe-inspiring, solemn, and straight, even if they are slick people under their hands, they will be intimidated by their power and become honest! ”

Xuanzong touched his beard and said, "Zhao Ziliang still has some skills!" ”

In addition to the whirlwind eighteen cavalry under Zhao Ziliang, there are also three hundred servants, these three hundred servants are the elite of the elite selected from the army, each combat effectiveness can be one to ten, each of them is also a qualified military instructor, as long as there are these three hundred servants in hand, he can train an elite army of at least 10,000 people in a short period of time.

Due to the urgency of time, Zhao Ziliang arranged for the entourage to train the recruits who joined the army first as much as possible to train some basic queues, turning, standing in military posture, walking in unison, running in unison and other subjects, after the recruits were trained in these subjects, they could calmly go on the road after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and after marching on the road, the team would not be chaotic.

Yang Yuhuan listened to Xuanzong's words and couldn't help but admonish euphemistically: "San Lang, there is only one Zhao Ziliang in this Tang Dynasty, he can kill from Anxi to Hexi, and from Hexi to Mobei, without any defeat, it is impossible to be a fluke every time, Your Majesty, as the Emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan and a generation of Ming Emperors, is he still jealous of the talent of a general?" The more talented the generals and ministers, the happier you should be!

Xuanzong patted Yang Yuhuan's hand and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Aman is right, don't talk about one Zhao Ziliang, even if there are ten, a hundred Zhao Ziliang, I can tolerate this, the more talented they are, the happier I am!" Hahaha? Let's go, drive to Huaqing Palace! ”

According to Zhao Ziliang's plan, all soldiers who came to enlist would be asked by the captain who interviewed if they had other skills, such as whether they could ride horses, whether they could work as carpenters, and whether they could have bricklayers. There can be tailors, can strike iron to make weapons and make bows and arrows, they must be indicated when registering, and then after they enlist in the army, they will be arranged in different teams according to their own skills, for example, people who do not have any skills but are physically strong will be placed together, soldiers who can carpenter work will be arranged together, in short, recruits with the same skill will be placed in the same battalion.

Zhao Ziliang's prestige and appeal are very loud in Chang'an City and its surrounding areas, since the second day of the first month to the twelfth day of the first month, the number of young talents who came to enlist gradually decreased, as of the evening of the twelfth day of the first month, the number of soldiers who came to enlist and were conscripted has exceeded 4,500 people, according to this kind of conscription progress, it should not be a problem to recruit 5,000 people before the 15th day of the first month, and the 10,000 sets of military uniforms sent by the military department should be just right.

In the past two days, Zhao Ziliang preliminarily flipped through the register of soldiers on one side, and roughly calculated that there were almost 2,000 people who could ride horses, and based on these people, 2,000 cavalry should be formed.

In Chang'an City, the large and small horse dealers heard that Zhao Ziliang wanted 6,000 war horses and tried to get a large number of large number of war horses, in their opinion, Zhao Ziliang wanted war horses that was a matter of one sentence, he seized tens of thousands of war horses in Mobei, and now they are stocked on the Mobei grassland, Zhao Ziliang is a big financier and a big customer in the eyes of these horse dealers, and he would rather offend the emperor's relatives than offend Zhao Ziliang.

Although the merchants tried everything they could, they only got three thousand war horses on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which was half the difference from the number shouted by Zhao Ziliang, but these horse dealers had no choice, all the war horses in their hands were sent over, and they wanted to get more war horses, but it was too late to get time, if there was enough time, Zhao Ziliang did not need their war horses, he could transport a large number of war horses from Mobei.

Zhao Ziliang expected that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, 5,000 people should be able to recruit, but in the last three days, the people who came to sign up for conscription broke out again, and the number of conscripts broke through the 7,000 mark at once, which made the number of military uniforms and military shoes prepared by Zhao Ziliang not enough, according to two sets of military uniforms and military shoes per person, 7,000 people should be at least 14,000 sets, in desperation, Zhao Ziliang could only transfer another 5,000 sets of military uniforms to the Ministry of War. Therefore, Zhao Ziliang took the holy decree and the conscription roster to the military department and got 5,000 sets of military uniforms and military shoes.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shangyuan Festival, this day is the best day, the most lively and cheerful festival in the whole Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City does not have a curfew all night, and the people can have fun until dawn.

In the morning, the military camp outside Zhao Ziliang's Jinguang Gate convened his subordinates to discuss the matter, and each of them reported to Zhao Ziliang what they were responsible for.

Cen Shen is record to join the army, in charge of Wen Bo and other matters, he got up and saluted: "General, as of yesterday evening, the number of troops we have recruited is 7,224 people, and now most of them have entered the barracks to report and start drills, but there are still 79 people who have registered for the painting and have taken the settling-in fee, but until now there has been no report and drill!" Xia Guan took a look, almost all of these seventy-nine people have backgrounds in Chang'an City, and their family backgrounds are very good, they must have been hidden from their families when they came to sign up for the recruitment, but they were discovered by their families afterwards, so the elders in the family did not allow them to come, this is Xia Guan's speculation, and the real situation is unknown! ”

Zhao Ziliang frowned and said: "No matter what the reason, if you don't report it now, even if you are deserters, you think that they are new recruits, and they don't know the rules in the army, so for the time being, they will only be escorted back to the barracks for serious warning treatment!" Brehan, you are responsible for this matter, send someone to arrest all these recruits who have not yet rushed to report, no matter who they are, no matter what background background they have, there is no room for negotiation, since they have joined my Zhao family's army, then they are born as Zhao Jiajun's people, and they are Zhao Jiajun's ghosts when they die! ”

"No!" Brehan got up and said yes, then turned to leave, arranged for the arrangement, and sent someone to arrest him.

Gao Shi, as Zhao Ziliang's judge, is responsible for assisting Zhao Ziliang in managing military and political affairs, and is now assigned to arrange and deal with logistics such as collecting carriages to transport grain and grass, ordnance, military resources and military salaries, and now Zheng San is still on the way from Yunzhou to Chang'an, these logistics matters can only be temporarily responsible for Gao Shi, and after Zheng San arrives, the logistics affairs will be transferred to Zheng San to deal with.

Gao Shi stood up and said: "General, Xiaguan has found a hundred soldiers in the army who can drive carriages, and these people are responsible for transporting grain and grass, ordnance, military posture and military salaries, etc., in addition, Xiaguan has also allocated 1,000 people to be responsible for guarding the safety of logistics materials, and a hundred carriages have all been in place, and all materials have been loaded, and they can be pulled out at any time tomorrow morning!" ”

"Good!" Zhao Ziliang is very satisfied with the work done by Gao Shi and Cen Shen, with them, he, the main general, will be much easier.

Gong Ren, as the patrol lieutenant in charge of military discipline, had 50 Zhao Ziliang's subordinates under him as temporary patrol inspectors to inspect military discipline in the army, and he got up and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "General, after the recruits joined the army, we sent someone to read out the military discipline and military regulations in the army to everyone, and so far, there are still 64 people who have violated military discipline, and now these people have been punished, and the atmosphere in the army has changed immediately!" ”

Chen Qing, as the marching Sima, was actually the duty of the chief of staff, and he got up and said: "General, all the flags in the army, such as the banner and the Daxu, have been sewn and distributed to the battalions; The snare drums, horns, and ceremonial equipment are all prepared; Drummers, trumpeters, volunteers, flag officers, and heralds have all been established, military orders have been conveyed unimpeded, and military counselors are all in place! ”

Zhao Ziliang had already seen this, nodded and said, "Okay, it's not easy to accomplish so many things in such a short time, it's very good!" ”

Wang Can, as the former military captain and the chief officer of the scout battalion, got up and said: "General, with my relationship in the capital over the years, I have pried one hundred and twenty veterans with spying and reconnaissance from the sixteen guards around the capital, with these people, the army does not have to worry about reconnaissance and spying on the marching road, and when it comes to Xilin to guard and capture, and then use these people as the backbone, a qualified scout battalion can be formed in a short time!" ”

"Good!" Zhao Ziliang stood up and said: "Everything is ready, tomorrow when the battalions gather here!" After breakfast, the hour swore to set off from the camp! ”

Everyone stood up and arched their hands: "Obey!" (To be continued.) )
