Soon, Jingwen told the people in Pingyu County the news of the formation of the Snow Shame Army, which caused a sensation. Moreover, they can be said to be an army alone, not the kind of situation where they are scattered into different units. In this way, they are also very satisfied, because these people are in a special situation, and if they are assigned to other troops, not to mention that their combat effectiveness will decline together, it is said that they may be discriminated against by the soldiers of those other armies, which is very bad for them. Now form a separate unit so that they can train together with peace of mind, because they are all from the same background, and there is no difference. Under the persecution of the same origins and the same hatred, they may be able to unite more and burst into greater strength.

"This is the real strong army, a strong army with faith!" Jingwen said rarely.

These people are all fighting for revenge, and they can be regarded as having faith. An army with faith is the real strong army. Although their faith continued and disappeared with the fall of the Turks, they were enough to leave a prestige in their conquest of the Turks. With faith, people can be fearless of death, and this is the level that a strong army should have.

Soon, the decree of the imperial court came down.

"The emperor has an order to transfer Zhang Shigui, the general of the right guard, to be the general of the Xue Shame Army, Zhang Shigui will go to his post immediately, and he will do this!"

"Zhang Shigui? This guy? The one who killed Xue Rengui? Jing Wen thought to himself.

Li Shimin mobilized a person to serve as the general of this shameful army, that is, a person named Zhang Shigui. This guy doesn't say anything else, Jingwen has also seen this person from many later novels. He said that this guy was jealous of the virtuous and powerful, brutalized Zhongliang, and even rebelled against the court. But later, when Jingwen wrote an online novel, he found out that this was not the case. Zhang Shigui was a member of the rebel army in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, and later followed Li Yuan and made many military exploits. became a close confidant of Li Shimin, the king of Qin. After that, they also participated in the Xuanwumen coup d'état, and can be said to be Li Shimin's cronies.

Now, he not only leads the position of the general of the Right Guard, but also serves as the head of the Xuanwu Gate, that is, the leader of the Praetorian Guard. It can be said that this Zhang Shigui is very trusted by Emperor Li Shimin. Moreover, according to history, instead of harming the later Xue Rengui, he also helped Xue Rengui rise to a certain extent. The so-called suppression of Xue Rengui and pretending to be Xue Rengui's military exploits is even more nonsense. This guy's character is still trustworthy, so Jingwen didn't worry too much.

"Liu Renliang, have you heard of this Zhang Shigui? What are his exploits? What kind of battles are you good at? Jingwen asked.

"I still have a certain understanding of this General Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui was good at using cavalry, served as the commander of the horse army, and once defeated Wang Shichong's 50,000 horse infantry coalition army with inferior troops. And that time was when the emperor pacified Wang Shichong, so that he could become famous. After that, now he is the general of the Right Tun Guard. The emperor may want to take this opportunity so that he can improve. Become a real general of the three products. Moreover, perhaps the emperor thinks that our soldiers here were once herdsmen of the Turks, so they should be good at riding horses and want to form cavalry! Liu Renliang said.

It is normal for Li Shimin to have this idea. Because the soldiers of the Snow Shame Army here are all slaves from the Turks, and often herd sheep and horses, most of the horseback riding skills have some foundation. The Central Plains lacked the most people who could ride horses, which caused the slow development of the Tang cavalry. And the emperor wanted to form cavalry here. It's not impossible. According to Jingwen's statistics, among these more than 100,000 people, there are about 10,000 people who can ride horses. This is already very remarkable. More than 10,000 cavalry is enough for the army of the Central Plains to become a force that determines the strategic level.

"Okay, let's get ready to meet this General Zhang Shigui!" Jingwen said.

Within a few hours, that Zhang Shigui came. And Zhang Shigui was in the dust for a while, and brought some people with him, obviously some personal soldiers. According to the practice of many times, when officials and generals take office, they can leave with some people and go to a new place for a certain promotion. This is also an unspoken rule, so Zhang Shigui brought some pro-soldiers, which should be to let them serve as grassroots officers, so as to help Zhang Shigui train this army as well as possible. And Zhang Shigui's responsibility is still relatively heavy, because he has to completely train an army from these people, which is exhausting. But Zhang Shigui still agreed, because if this matter can be handled well, then Zhang Shigui will be the general of Zhengsanpin, which can be said to be the pinnacle of military attachés, and can be equal to Li Jing, Qin Qiongcheng, and them.

"General Zhang?" Jingwen said hello first.

"Hmm!" Zhang Shigui replied.

Zhang Shigui was very cold to Jingwen and Liu Renliang, and didn't seem to be enthusiastic. And Jingwen was also bored, so he didn't continue to speak. And Zhang Shigui directly entered the so-called county office, that is, the largest tent. Zhang Shigui was obviously also adapted to this kind of living tent situation, so he didn't say anything.

"We, the Snow Shame Army, are revenge and shame. Moreover, this is also the responsibility of you soldiers, this time there is not much military salary, and our court only provides grain and grass, you should know, right? Zhang Shigui said.

This time, it was these soldiers who took the initiative to form an army, and Li Shimin, a door-picker, also took the opportunity to propose that the military salary would not be too much, only one-third compared to other soldiers. Of course, there will be no shortage of grain and grass, but this saves two-thirds of the military salary, which is also very good, and saves a lot of money.

"Yes, my lord, we all spoke to the ordinary soldiers, and they all agreed. As long as there is enough food and grass, then we have no opinion! Liu Renliang said.

"Alright, then, the soldiers I brought with me will pick the soldiers. Out of these 100,000 people, 40,000 were selected for training. I only need 40,000 men, and the rest will be sent to the tuntian, and then we will be provided with grain and grass. Zhang Shigui said.

"Yes, General Zhang!" Liu Renliang said.

"All right, you go down and prepare to gather the soldiers for my own soldiers to choose. This time we have to hand-pick some elites, otherwise we won't be able to fight at all. Zhang Shigui said.

And Jingwen listened to this Zhang Shigui's tone, obviously this Zhang Shigui is not easy to serve, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of trouble here! However, this is a person sent by Emperor Li Shimin, and it is impossible for Jingwen to say anything. (To be continued......)
