The training of the Urging Front Army will definitely cause shocks in other armies, and even arouse the attention of the emperor.
It is said that the commander of the palace, Lord Ma Huaxuan, personally went to Ouchi and explained to the emperor, who was very satisfied and asked other troops around the capital to strengthen their training.
Many officials in the court, as well as the commanders and other officers in the army, originally had a great opinion about the urging army to which the palace was under the front division, and you trained desperately to let others watch, but when everyone knew that this was what Lord Ma Huaxuan meant, and the emperor fully supported it, the dissatisfied voice quickly disappeared, and the other armies also began decent training.
After many troops began to train, the Urging Front Army returned to the military camp in the capital.
Some people tried to go to the camp of the Urging Front Army to explore the reality, but they couldn't enter, but fortunately, some of the sergeants of the Urging Army left the barracks and spread the news, and the large-scale training of the original Urging Army was over, and the next thing was to train in batches, such training will not be interrupted, every once in a while, some sergeants will be pulled out of the city to train, and in order to ensure the effect of the training, more than 1,000 people are stationed in the military camp outside the city to ensure the supply of logistics.
The other armies suddenly understood the meaning and began to follow suit.
For a time, the military discipline and military regulations of the army around the capital seemed to have been strengthened.
Ma Huaxuan, the commander of the front division of the palace, was once again praised by the emperor.
Wu Shaogang, the commander of the urging army under the front division of the palace, also received Ma Huaxuan's praise and trust, and in the official residence of the front division of the palace, Ma Huaxuan personally rewarded Wu Shaogang with five hundred taels of silver.
At this time, everyone could see that Wu Shaogang, the commander of the urging army under the new palace front division, had won the trust of Ma Huaxuan, and may even have aroused the emperor's attention, this person is not simple.
The commanders of other armies came to visit Wu Shaogang one after another, nominally to learn from the experience and learn the method of training the army, but in fact it was close to Wu Shaogang, and even Chang Mingquan, the commander of the White Army under the former division of the palace, also came to visit.
Wu Shaogang painstakingly placed more than 1,000 people in the military camp outside the city, no one paid attention, let alone anyone paid attention, not to mention that in other military camps outside the city, there were also sergeants stationed in charge of logistics matters, you must know that many troops need to be pulled out for training every once in a while.
Smart people understand the truth, this training must be carried out, since it is the army, and it is the most elite army of the Great Song Dynasty, how can it be said that it is reasonable not to train, but don't train desperately, just make a look, the emperor sees that many troops are training hard, as for the effect of training, the gods can't say clearly, and the training needs to consume a lot of grain and grass, all of which are spent, and what benefits can the officers in the army get.
And strengthen the training, there is another advantage, that is, you can apply for an increase in military salary, after all, the training is very hard, which is also the emperor's approval, the cost will naturally increase, the Privy Council and the Ministry of War will agree, although the household department said that there are some views, but the general trend, they can not be in opposition to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.
When Wu Shao first returned to the military camp in the capital, he had a smile on his face, and the whole person looked sunny and relaxed.
Wu Shaogang was happy in his heart.
The 1,280 people outside the city, the results of the training have been very good, and the selected sergeants are all of good character and can endure hardships, and almost all of them have experienced life and death, and have fought on the battlefield, and a period of intensive training has re-revealed the murderous aura in their bodies.
This is definitely one of the most elite troops, and in time, this army will be able to give the Mongol Tartars a headache.
The number of people is still a little small, but under the current conditions, Wu Shaogang is already very satisfied with being able to have so many people, and he knows very well that such a situation cannot be maintained for a long time, at most in a year to two years or so, he will take these people out of the capital and go outside to open up a world, otherwise he will be discovered by the emperor and the court, and all his efforts will be in vain.
Outside the barracks, there stood a young man in an official uniform.
The young man was clearly trying to enter the barracks, but was stopped by the sergeant guarding the barracks.
The young man was pacing back and forth, and the look on his face was not very good.
Anyone who enters the barracks must dismount, and Wu Shaogang is no exception.
As he turned over and dismounted, the young man hurried to approach, but was stopped by two other sergeants.
Tan Mazi, the general in charge of guarding the gate, walked over quickly and spoke in a low voice.
"Lord Commander, this person claims to be Saro of the Korean Central Literature Bureau, and he has come to visit your Excellency today, and I have something important to inform you, and my subordinates saw that his expression was wrong, so he was blocked out of the barracks. . . ."
Wu Shaogang looked at the young man who was angrily scolding the sergeant, about twenty-four or five years old, burly, fair-skinned, with bright eyes, wearing a black eight-rank official uniform, revealing an elegant aura all over his body.
You don't need to look much to know that this young man is a scholar, and he must be a jinshi of the current dynasty.
In any case, the status of the scholar of the Great Song Dynasty is higher than that of the military, don't look at Wu Shaogang's current scenery, but unfortunately he is not a scholar This shortcoming, he will still encounter criticism, if there is no accident, Wu Shaogang can at most become the commander of all the armies in front of the emperor, that is the highest official position.
After thinking for a while, Wu Shaogang spoke to Tan Mazi.
"Old Tan, let this person come over, you all go and get busy."
The young man finally walked across from Wu Shaogang.
Looking at each other, the young man was not afraid at all, which made Wu Shaogang a little surprised and curious, you must know that his gaze is a little sharp, and after looking at it for a while, ordinary people will unconsciously lower their heads.
"In the next book Zuolang, Xianjingfu professor Wen Tianxiang, the word is good, today I came to meet Commander Wu, I didn't expect Commander Wu to be really so young, I just heard the sergeant in the next place, Commander Wu is busy with official business, I don't know if I have time to talk with him."
Wu Shaogang's eyes widened and he looked at Wen Tianxiang in front of him.
This person is the most famous one among the three heroes of the late Song Dynasty, a poem of "Crossing Zero Ding Yang", which has a far-reaching impact, "Who has not died in life since ancient times, leaving Danqing to shine on the sweat and green" The poem has become the motto of many people who embrace Xinyang.
Wu Shaogang still knows Wen Tianxiang's resume, and even knows it very clearly, when he just crossed, he thought of Wen Tianxiang, after all, anyone who knows history, when he thinks of the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, he will think of Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang and other famous people, these people still have a huge influence after a thousand years.
Seeing that Wu Shaogang didn't speak, Wen Tianxiang couldn't hold back.
"Commander Wu, is it really so busy with official business, don't you have time to talk to Zaixia, so I have to say goodbye and wait until Commander Wu has time, and then come to visit."
Wu Shaogang blinked his eyes and finally spoke.
"Lord Wen misunderstood, as early as Ezhou, I heard of your reputation, the champion of the palace examination, the imperial test strategy at the time of the palace examination of the Ying Palace, alarmed the emperor, and was praised by the chief examiner Wang Yinglin as a loyal monarch and patriotic heart as solid as iron stone, I just couldn't imagine that the famous Lord Wen Tianxiang actually came back to visit me, a rough man in the army."
Wen Tianxiang looked at Wu Shaogang and was speechless for a while.
In fact, before coming to the barracks, he also inquired about Wu Shaogang's situation, and there were many people who commented that Wu Shaogang was a Confucian general, and several prominent adults in the court also had this opinion.
Seeing that Wen Tianxiang didn't speak, Wu Shaogang continued to speak.
"Why, as the champion, Lord Wen can't look down on us rough people in the army, so it's okay, Lord Wen should go back, the army is not a place where you scholars should come."
Wen Tianxiang's face instantly turned a little red.
"Commander Wu, how can you say such words, I will come to visit you sincerely today. . . ."
Today's Wen Tianxiang is far from being famous, and he is a famous thorn in the capital.
In the fourth year of Baoyou, in 1256 AD, Wen Tianxiang became the champion of the palace examination, and was accepted as a protégé by Jia Rudao, but his father died of illness, and he had no time to enter the court as an official, so he went home to keep filial piety for three years.
Shouxiao ended, returned to the capital, it was already the first year of Tianqing, just when the Mongolian army was attacking, the Mongolian Khan Meng Ge personally led the army to attack the SC prince Kublai Khan led the army to attack Ezhou and other places, for a time the capital was in a rumor, the emperor's most favored eunuch Dong Songchen suggested moving the capital to Siming Mansion, only for the status of Jinshi, Wen Tianxiang, who had no official position, boldly wrote a letter, strongly opposed the proposal to move the capital, and implored the emperor to kill Dong Songchen who proposed to move the capital.
This move caused a huge sensation, Dong Song Chen's power leaned towards the government and the opposition, won the trust of the emperor, and the relationship with the power minister Ding Daquan was quite close, and no one dared to offend.
Fortunately, the Mongol Khan Möngke was killed, and the Mongol army quickly withdrew, and no one mentioned the move of the capital again.
Wen Tianxiang offended Dong Songchen, and as the champion, he was only awarded the title of Zuo Lang, the author of the eighth grade.
In June, Dong Songchen died of illness, and Wen Tianxiang's life was finally better, because he was a protégé of Jia Yidao, so he also served as a professor of Xianjingfu.
Don't underestimate this inconspicuous official position, Xianjingfu is the prince's mansion, and the professor of Xianjingfu is the prince's teacher, and his identity is extremely noble.
If it develops smoothly, Wen Tianxiang's future is immeasurable.
