Xuanyi Military Academy was opened by Xu Qing in order to train officers who were loyal to him and find a reason to contact the generals who were loyal to the Li Tang royal family, and the location was in the military camp of the Xuancheng Princess's Mansion in the north of the outer city, Xu Qing personally served as the principal, Xue Rengui was the teaching director, and the lecturers had a strong lineup, Xue Rengui, Cheng Wuting, and Li Zhizhuo were all famous generals and generals of the Central Army, and Yang Sizhen and Pei Judao were all generals of the Central Army.

Wu Zetian's action to abolish the throne of Prince Li Hong in the early dynasty failed, and after retiring from the dynasty, he announced three major events to Li Zhi, who was physically and mentally exhausted by the infighting between his wife, son, and son-in-law.

The first thing was that she would organize several military exercises at the Bashang military camp, the main purpose of which was to deter the royalists from saying that they did not say to Lee Ji-myung, only that the rebellion of Goguryeo and Baekje was rampant, that Silla was secretly supporting the rebellion of Goguryeo and Baekje, that the rebellion of Goguryeo and Baekje must be suppressed, and that the rebellion of Goguryeo and Baekje must be suppressed, and that these exercises were a targeted military training;

The second thing is that the Eastern Army will draw 10,000 regular troops and 10,000 (Zhechong) government soldiers from Wu Yajun's Zuo Xiao Guard, 10,000 cavalry from Wu Chenghe's Flying Cavalry Army, 5,000 regular troops and 20,000 government soldiers from Liu Renyuan's Zuowei Guard, and 5,000 regular troops and 20,000 government soldiers from Liu Renliang's Left Leading Guards, and set out tomorrow spring to quell the Goguryeo and Baekje rebel areas;

The third thing is to have Wu Yajun as the chief general of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and Liu Renyuan and Liu Renliang as deputy generals. Be the first to update

Liu Renyuan and Liu Renliang have always been centrists, no political inclination, no lecturer at Xu Qing's military academy, Wu Zetian is very satisfied with Erliu, the two of them have fought in Goguryeo and Baekje for many years, have made outstanding military achievements, and are familiar with the situation over there, this time Wu Zetian broke with the royalists, and can no longer use Cheng Wuting as Wu Yajun's deputy general, and it is impossible to use the famous generals of Zhengdong again, so that the Goguryeo people and Baekje people are famous and frightened, and Xue Rengui who is defeated without attacking, Wu Zetian decided to use Liu Renyuan and Liu Renliang, On the eve of the abolition of the crown prince Li Hong, he secretly summoned Er Liu and privately appointed them as deputy generals of the Eastern Expeditionary Army to test their will and loyalty.

Er Liu is one of the few generals who was not dismissed after returning from the last Eastern Crusade (four years ago), and he is naturally exquisite, and he feels that he has shown his skills and the opportunity to get rich and noble, and he feels happy and thanked the Empress Wu for her grace.

Chang'an is divided into three areas: the palace city, the imperial city and the outer city, the palace city is the location of the imperial palace, about eight square kilometers, is the emperor, the empress, the emperor's concubines and the emperor's children who have not been sent to the fiefdom live and live. More and faster chapters are here. The imperial city surrounds the palace city, which is ten times larger than the palace city, and is the place where the six yamen of Shangshu Province, the Jingzhao Mansion, the palace of the king in Beijing, the princess's mansion, the prime minister's mansion, the palace of the sixteen Wei generals, the six Shangshu mansions, and other high-ranking generals, high-ranking officials, meritorious families, and wealthy merchants live together, and there are also neighborhood people.

In addition, the imperial families of the countries that the Tang Dynasty eliminated in the war, such as the Eastern Turkic Imperial Family, the Goguryeo Imperial Family, and the Baekje Imperial Family, were also concentrated in the imperial city.

The palace guards are guarded by about 2,000 Jinwu guards, about 2,000 thousand Niu guards guard the emperor, about 20,000 Yulin troops guard the gates and walls of the palace, and the other 12 guards of the sixteen guards guard the 13 gates of the imperial city and the north of the imperial city near the palace, which is called the Northern Ya Army. More and faster chapters are here.

There are 50,000 forbidden troops stationed in the south of the imperial city, and the prime minister can be dispatched and commanded by the emperor's order, called the Southern Ya Forbidden Army, as a counterbalance to the Northern Ya Army. In addition, there are three armies on the periphery of Chang'an, namely the North Army, the West Army and the East Army, the North Army 20,000 are stationed in the Thorn Gate, about 100 miles away from the Chang'an Imperial City, the West Army 20,000 are stationed in the Xiliu in the southwest of Xianyang, about 120 miles away from the Chang'an Imperial City, and the 30,000 East Army guards Tongguan Tianwei, about 300 miles away from the Chang'an Imperial City, also known as the Forbidden Army, which is dispatched by the military department by the emperor's order, as the third force to balance the Sixteen Guards and the Nanya Forbidden Army.

The outside of the imperial city is called the outer city, which is the junction of the suburbs, and the camp of 20,000 flying cavalry is close to the north of the outer city of Chang'an. Be the first to update

There are nearly 300,000 troops in Chang'an and the surrounding areas of Chang'an, because the military department is still the secretary and the soldier is Wu Zetian's person, and the 70,000 garrison troops outside Chang'an fell into the hands of Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian has the emperor's jade seal in his hands, and there is a set of self-built prime minister team "North Gate Bachelor", and most of the prime minister's team appointed by Emperor Li Zhi also switched to Wu Zetian, because there is no Wu Zetian's signature and seal, their decrees and official documents cannot be implemented at all, so the 50,000 Nanya forbidden army has also become Wu Zetian's army.

Wu Chengsi, the general of the Flying Cavalry Army, is Wu Zetian's nephew, Wu Yajun, the general of the Left Xiaowei in the Sixteenth Guard Army of the Beijing Division, is Wu Zetian's nephew, Wu Sansi, the general of the Right Guard, is Wu Zetian's nephew, Feng Shicheng, the general of the Right Weiwei, is Wu Zetian's confidant, and Qiu Shenqi, the general of the Left Wuwei Army, is also Wu Zetian's confidant. Be the first to update

Wu Zetian was able to command and mobilize 160,000 of the 300,000 troops in Chang'an, accounting for more than half, and Liu Renyuan, the general of the Zuowei Guard, and Liu Renliang, the general of the Zuo Wei Army, were centrists.

Most of the governors of various prefectures, the deputy chiefs of the assassins, Changshi, Beijia, and Sima were promoted and appointed by Wu Zetian and his prime minister's team, and most of the county commanders, county magistrates (equivalent to deputy county magistrates), and county lieutenants (equivalent to county public security chiefs) were protégés of Wu Zetian's confidants.

Tang Taizu Li Yuan, Tang Taizong Li Shimin, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi each gave birth to twenty or thirty sons, the direct family members of the emperors of the three dynasties have been given the title of "king", most of them are in the field as a thorn history, the three dynasties emperors hundreds of old, middle and young three generations of princesses of the husband are named as horses, according to the size of the ability, the official position is big and small, there are Beijing officials, there are also officials in other places, in the field of officials, the smallest official is the county order, the largest official is the assassin history.

The power of the Li Tang royal family and the meritorious family is very strong, but they are scattered all over the Tang Dynasty, and it is not easy to unite them, and they have to risk being killed. Because false accusations were prevalent during Wu Zetian's reign in the Tang Dynasty, and cool officials were prevalent, if anyone from the Li Tang royal family and the meritorious family provoked a tandem, they would be detected by Wu Zetian's secret detectives, and then Wu Zetian's henchmen jumped out to falsely accuse the person who provoked the rebellion, and then the officials of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple who were responsible for trying the rebellion case would put the hat of rebellion on the head of the person who provoked the rebellion under the pressure of Wu Zetian, regardless of whether he rebelled or not.

Xu Qing knew that this was the fundamental reason why the Li Tang royal family and the meritorious family and the noble lords were all completely destroyed by Wu Zetian, and the Li Tang royal family and the meritorious family loyal to the Li Tang royal family were almost all wiped out by Wu Zetian, Xu Qing had a thousand new troops by his side, and there were nearly 30,000 dart divisions and executioners in the Longmen Dart Bureau, 20,000 veterans of the Datang Trading Company, the support of King Yan and Emperor Li Zhi, and the support of Xue Rengui, Cheng Wuting, Li Zhizhuo, Yang Sijian, Pei Judao, these generals, are not afraid of Wu Zetian, However, he did not want to be falsely accused of conspiracy and rebellion, so he temporarily suppressed the idea of setting up a military club and conspiring with royalist generals, and concentrated on running the Xuanyi Military Academy in Chang'an and training the officers of his own government soldiers beyond reproach. More and faster chapters are here. Therefore, the work of selecting the officers of the two princesses' mansions has been stepped up.

At present, Xu Qing still needs to wait patiently for the opportunity, and when the submachine gun is successfully imitated, he will arm one or two thousand new troops, or wait for the new army in Chang'an to use pistols to increase to two or three thousand Xu Qing will not have the upper hand in the comparison of strength with Wu Zetian, and Xu Qing will be more handy in doing things at that time.

After Wu Zetian instructed his cronies to impeach the prince, Xu Qing deeply realized Wu Zetian's viciousness, and his previous impressions of Wu Zetian came from history books. Mrs. Han was poisoned to death, Wu Zetian was just a suspicious murderer, there was no direct evidence that Wu Zetian was the murderer, she herself shed a lot of tears at her sister's funeral, for the sake of Mrs. Han's children, and also proposed that Gaozong confer Helan Minzhi as the Duke of Korea - the Duke of Guo was a very high title in the Tang Dynasty, and generally only awarded to the eldest son of the general and the vassal king who had made outstanding military exploits and was highly respected and could not inherit the throne, and the son with outstanding talent and outstanding conduct, named Helan Minyue as the "Lady of Wei", In order to dispel the suspicions of many people, including Gaozong, about her. More and faster chapters are here.

Xu Qing understands history and Wu Zetian's personality, so of course he will not be confused by her disguise.

Wu Zetian had just launched a political struggle and was about to start a war, and it was not too early or too late for her to go east, just after the deposed prince made a fuss, and after Xu Qing's private armed forces achieved initial success in counterinsurgency in Goguryeo and Baekje, Xu Qing believed that Wu Zetian wanted to save face and unite the hearts of the later party, second, he wanted to firmly grasp the military power in his hands, third, he demonstrated to the royalists in an attempt to deter those who were not firm enough in the royalists, and fourth, he wanted to squeeze out his own power from Goguryeo and Baekje.

After Li Zhi received Wu Zetian's notice, he knew that she had made up her mind, she could mobilize the army, and she couldn't stop it, and opposing her eastward crusade would only make herself angry, and she couldn't stop her action, so he immediately summoned Xu Qing, Xue Rengui, and Cheng Wuting, and discussed the Empress Wu's decision to go east with the crown prince and several cronies.

Xu Qing did not oppose the Eastern Crusade, since Goguryeo and Baekje had been defeated by the Tang Dynasty and became the territory of the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo and Baekje would never be allowed to **, Silla secretly supported Goguryeo and Baekje's treacherous Tang activities, and after the Tang army withdrew from Goguryeo and Baekje, he openly sent troops to occupy Baekje and gradually infiltrated Goguryeo, it is better to teach Silla a good lesson, and it is best to destroy Silla.

However, Xu Qing has his own principled position, that is, the defenders of the Tang army could not withstand the attacks of Goguryeo and Baekje rebels, and retreated to Liaodong Province, Xu Qing spent 100,000 taels of gold to organize 20,000 veterans to go to the battlefield of Goguryeo and Baekje to regain the lost land for the Tang Dynasty, it was to carry out trade, industry and agriculture in Goguryeo, it was to immigrate on a large scale, and at the same time to serve the country and the imperial court, it was necessary to recover the cost, and Wu Zetian's cronies' troops could not find enemies in Goguryeo and Baekje, and they had nothing to do. There will definitely be disputes with the employees and immigrants of Xu Qing Datang Trading Company.

In order to prevent this from happening, General Xu Qing ordered his subordinates to prevent Wu Zetian's cronies' troops from entering Goguryeo and Baekje. When the emperor's cronies went to Goguryeo and Baekje, they would not have conflicts with Xu Qing's subordinates, and would also assist Xu Qing's subordinates in maintaining law and order and dealing with the rebels together, which he welcomed. Wu Zetian's cronies' army could only attack Silla if they wanted to conquer the east.

Xu Qing asked Li Zhi to convey his principled position to Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian was very angry, but she was just angry, she had no way to take Xu Qing.

Wu Zetian immediately convened a meeting of his cronies again, they felt that since the words had been released, and many generals of the army under their control had been notified of the Eastern Expedition in advance next spring, they could not take back their original words, and if they attacked Silla, they would attack Silla, defeat Silla or destroy Silla, which was greater than the merit of sweeping away the Goguryeo and Baekje rebels, and that the Eastern Expedition was worth it, not because they were afraid of Xu Qing, but that there was no need to compete with Xu Qing on this matter.
