678. Officials are reinstated
Soon, several edicts were sent from Chang'an to Longyou Road in the northwest, and after half a month, they finally arrived at Lanzhou, the headquarters of the Western Army. And now it's very cold, and it can go into winter at any time, and it can snow at any time. And Jingwen actually wants to go home quickly, reunite with his family, and strive to be able to return home before the Chinese New Year. But now Jingwen is still the acting envoy of the Western Army, so naturally he can't leave his post casually, unless the emperor orders him to be recalled to Chang'an. But now the communication of the pit father, from Chang'an to Lanzhou, it will take ten days and half a month to travel, and this round trip is nearly a month. Therefore, this wait made Jingwen very anxious.
However, finally at the beginning of December, the news arrived. Chang'an sent the emperor's envoy to announce the decree to everyone.
"The edict said, the right to levy the Western Army to make Jingwen, and make meritorious service for crimes...... The special officer was reinstated as a free cavalry attendant, and the director of the Tang Development and Reform Commission, the Tang Military Academy sacrificed wine, and the title was restored to the hereditary replacement of the county prince of Pingyu. And Jingwen immediately returned to Chang'an to take office, and returned the soldiers of the Western Army, Qin this! ”
"Chen Jingwen, thank you Emperor Longen!" Jingwen said immediately.
"It's not over, there's one more!" The eunuch said.
"Oh? What the? Jingwen was a little confused.
The eunuch took out a letter from the cuff of his clothes, and then said to Jingwen in a very low voice: "This is the letter entrusted to you by the queen mother, don't say it!" ”
Jingwen immediately opened it and looked at it, and then there were a few words written in it.
"Prepare some gifts for Changle!"
These words represent a very profound meaning. And these words represent that Empress Changsun has acquiesced to Jingwen, the prospective son-in-law. However, this eunuch asked Jingwen not to make a noise, maybe the matter has not been settled yet, that is, Li Shimin has not had a good time.
Jingwen sighed, and he didn't know how this matter should be resolved. If there was no intercession of Princess Changle at that time, I am afraid that Li Shimin would have ordered Jingwen to be cut down a long time ago. And after that. It can just be dismissed. Therefore, if Princess Changle hadn't interceded in time, I'm afraid Li Shimin would have ordered Jingwen to be cut down. When the time comes, I'm afraid it will be dangerous. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Princess Changle has a life-saving grace for Jingwen. And Princess Changle used this method to save herself, which made Jingwen a little helpless. This is equivalent to saying that it will be difficult for Princess Changle to marry in the future, and if she marries ordinary people, the emperor will not be willing. It can be seen that Jingwen can be said to be the only person who can be suitable for both size and length.
But Jingwen didn't know how to face Princess Changle, because Princess Changle was actually strictly speaking if Jingwen's physical age was a few years older. can also be juniors. And Princess Changle is a good sister of Jingwen's daughter, and when the time comes, the good sister will become an aunt, will her daughter be able to accept it? And the only woman Jingwen can say that she owes in her life is Princess Changle.
"Forget it, let's talk about it then!" Jingwen stuffed the letter into his pocket and kept it from being seen.
And at this time, several other generals also came.
"Sacrificial wine, congratulations, the official has been reinstated!" Xue Rengui said.
Jingwen also said: "You guys should be good, right?" This time, they have made a lot of achievements. It should be good! ”
"Haha, if nothing happens now, it should be the transfer center, called a division military affairs chief. It's also a six-pin. Xue Rengui said.
According to the plan formulated by Jingwen at that time, the three subordinate divisions of the army were all parallel to the establishment of the lower levels. However, the status of the Chiefs of the three branches is slightly higher than that of the establishment units at the next level. The status of the three Divisions is slightly higher because they are eligible to participate in meetings of the Management Committee at the same level. Although it is still at the regimental level, that is, the rank of the sixth grade. But it's a little better. And the reason why this is the case is also because Jingwen promoted them in the line of fire before the battle, so it is not appropriate to promote too much after the war.
"Where's Gao Kan?" Jingwen asked.
Gao Kan also replied: "Sacrificial wine, if nothing else, I will go to the military headquarters to be the deputy director of the operations department." That is, Lord Sacrificial Wine, your former deputy to the military chief of the Snow Shame Army. ”
"Sure enough, it's going up fast!" Jingwen said.
"This is thanks to my experience in organizing brigade-level troops, otherwise I would not have been favored by General Li Jing and transferred to the military headquarters. This time, it should be the sixth product. Gao Kan said.
Gao Kan was favored by Li Jing this time, because Gao Kan's organizational ability to command the troops was still good, and he was a student of the emperor, plus he also had military exploits. He had experience in commanding thousands of troops, and he needed to come to the center to exercise his strategic vision, so he was transferred to the military headquarters. In the future, when his strategic vision takes shape and commands, he can be released as a division commander.
As for Jingwen's cheap brother-in-law, he was promoted to the central government as a logistics director, and the promotion was not so big. However, it allows him to exercise his ability in many aspects, which will be of great benefit to the improvement of his resume in the future.
The next few were generally promoted. However, their promotions are mainly transferred to the center, and they are also different armies. And Jingwen probably knew that this promotion was probably also the emperor's idea of sending someone over to mix sand. If they are promoted on the spot, I am afraid that not to mention whether they have a position or not, and if they are promoted on the spot, they will easily be deeply rooted in the tree, and it will be easy for them to form small organizations in the border army. Don't think that with a military school, with an alumni association of a military school, the place will not form a hill. Where there are people, there is fighting, and where there is fighting, there is politics, so it is still necessary to avoid it. It would be beneficial for both sides to transfer them to the central government and let the central army go to the local border guards for training.
"Since they've all been promoted, that's good! Next, you should train those troops in the center! Those troops in the center, who did not fight all day and did not have pressure, were somewhat frivolous. You've got to get it in order! Jingwen said.
Now the Central Army of the Tang Dynasty is actually a strong cadre and a weak branch. However, because the Central Army has not had a war for a long time, and because the status of the Central Army is relatively high, its combat effectiveness is prone to decline. Li Shimin also wanted to maintain the combat effectiveness of the Central Army as much as possible through the transfer of officers like Guò who were not supported by the border guards and the Central Army. Therefore, Jingwen asked them to rectify well, because Li Shimin just hoped to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, and they did not have to be afraid of any resistance.
"Yes!" Everyone said together. (To be continued......)
