Fang Xuanling's words when he left also made Li Junxian overjoyed. He originally thought that it would be good for him to be able to become a county magistrate according to the original history. But if according to Fang Xuanling's hint, as long as he succeeds, then he can become a national prince, which makes Li Junxian overjoyed.

If you look at the history of the early years of the Tang Dynasty, which of those who can write in the history books is not a duke? Therefore, if you look at the situation in the early Tang Dynasty, if you want to be able to leave your name in the history books and have a complete biography, you must have the title of Duke of the country. Moreover, the title of the Duke of Guo is not obtained for nothing, and he still has a fiefdom in it. Anyone with a title has a fiefdom, and the population in these fiefdoms belongs to the people of the individual, which can almost be said to be your vassal. With a knightly minister, that is the real magnate, otherwise it will not be recognized by too many people.

Li Junxian thought that he might become a national prince in the future, and his heart was like being beaten with chicken blood, and he became excited. Li Junxian immediately ignored that today was his vacation time, put on his armor and hurriedly ran to the Xuanwu Gate. Now Li Junxian's time is running out, and he wants to win over a group of sergeants as soon as possible, so as to prepare for the future changes in Xuanwumen. If he can win over a group of troops close to him at this time, then the political capital in Li Shimin's camp will not be small in the future. Not too many, one or two hundred people are enough. When Li Shimin carried out the Xuanwumen Mutiny, in fact, the number of troops may not be 100 people! If you have an army of one or two hundred people in your hands by then, it will be enough to affect the situation.

"General Lee!" "General Lee!" "General Lee!"

Many sergeants saw Li Junxian running and immediately greeted him. Li Junxian is a general, and he is a position that he fought the battlefield, so those troops are more convinced. Therefore, Li Junxian's status in the eyes of these soldiers is not low.

"Brother Junxian, why are you here? You're not resting at home, why are you here? Chang He saw Li Junxian and immediately asked.

"Brother Chang He, I want to see my sons and daughters now to see if they have slacked off their martial arts training. By the way, Brother Chang He, did our Xuanwu Sect sergeants train once? Li Junxian asked.

"Oh, the guards of our palace are trained once in ten years, which is pretty good!" Chang He replied.

When Li Junxian heard this answer, he immediately cried and laughed. I practice once a decade, that is, I only train once in ten days. In later generations, no matter which country's army was, they trained every day, and there was hardly any vacation. But now in the Tang Dynasty, there is only one training in ten days, how can you make those troops in later generations embarrassed! What's more, this is still in Datang, the Tang Dynasty, the pinnacle of ancient civilization, is actually only trained once in ten days, so what about the training of other countries' armies, Li Junxian was a little speechless.

"Our Datang Praetorian Guards actually only practice once every ten days? Our guards of the Tang Dynasty are responsible for protecting His Majesty the Emperor's guards, but they only practice once in ten days? Li Junxian asked again.

He rightly said, "Yes! It is a lot to practice once in ten days, and the troops in many places only train once a month, so it is good for our Son of Heaven to practice once in ten days. ”

Li Junxian estimated that in ancient times, most of them were organized by the integration of soldiers and farmers, working in agriculture when the farm was busy, and selecting some strong men to train when the farm was slack. This is the ancient military system, which is the case in most dynasties, this is the so-called government military system, which is no different from the reserve in later generations. And only a small number of elite troops are full-time soldiers, professional soldiers.

And every year, the peasants have to plough in the spring, sow in the summer, and harvest in the autumn, and they are so busy that their feet do not touch the ground. So, it's good to be able to train once a month. As for winter, it was not the time for training at all, and there was no tradition of fighting in winter in ancient times. Therefore, those government soldiers are forced to squeeze out time to train when they are busy with farming, so it is very normal to train once a month.

And these guards who are responsible for guarding the palace can be regarded as a semi-professional army, nor can they be said to be a full-class army. According to the military system of the Tang Dynasty, the army of each place would regularly send a group of people to Chang'an to take charge of guarding Chang'an. There are also some well-trained troops who can guard the palace, but in fact, the army of these palaces is not a full-time army in the end. In the case of guarding the palace, it was naturally impossible to go to farming, so the training became once every ten days.

Now Li Junxian has a feeling of being ruined. Because since ancient times, it has been claimed how powerful and elite the army of the Tang Dynasty was. But now it seems that this may be an over-the-top myth in later generations, in fact, the army of the Tang Dynasty was not as elite as imagined. In other words, the army in the early Tang Dynasty was not so elite, and it was only after the conscription system was fully implemented in the middle of the Tang Dynasty that the whole country would be so elite. The combat effectiveness of the army under the government military system in the early Tang Dynasty was still relatively weak compared with that in the middle of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Junxian listened to Chang He's words, and said very firmly: "My Datang guards can't be so hanging, train once every ten days, this is pig breeding!" From today onwards, I don't care what others ask, my request is, practice every day! ”

"Someone, give me two hundred sergeants, and follow me to the Vermilion Bird Gate Square for training!" Li Junxian shouted.

When Chang He heard Li Junxian's order, he immediately stopped him and said, "Brother Junxian, we are Your Majesty's guards, and if you want to move, you have to get Your Majesty's permission. You go to the palace to meet Your Majesty, and let Your Majesty authorize you to practice! ”

Only then did Li Junxian remember that the ancient emperors had very strict control over military power. If you take the guards to train without permission, you will be sued regardless of whether you have other intentions or not. Of course, this crime can be big or small, and if it gets bigger, it will be a bad plot. Li Junxian can't do this kind of stupid thing.

"Brother Chang He, I'm going to ask His Majesty the Emperor to issue an order, let me train these guys well. Practice once in ten days, hmph, if someone comes to the vicinity of the palace, how can our soldiers resist? Therefore, you must practice every day, so that you can become a glorious guard of the Tang Emperor. Li Junxian said loudly.

Li Junxian walked into the palace with heavy steps, and he wanted to ask Li Yuan for instructions, hoping to train these guards. Li Junxian's system took the opportunity to control about 200 soldiers by taking the opportunity to train soldiers. As long as you have the power of the army, you will be able to obtain political capital at the time of the Xuanwumen Change.
