Chapter 70 The old soldier has the rule of the old soldier
This day is April 25, and there is only a five-day gap between the ceremonies held on the first day of the fifth month at the Great Mercy and Grace Temple.
Liu Yu needs to do a lot of things in five days, because the sacrificial ceremony means that the emperor will be officially crowned king, and now the four princes who are going to be crowned kings have settled down, if Su Yan can't be given the credit of Kuangfu Sheji in these five days, he will have to guard the county prince for the rest of his life. Liu Yuwei thinks about it in the future, and will never let such a thing happen.
After comforting his wife, while Xu Xuanzhu was asleep, Liu Yu continued to flip through the booklet by candlelight in front of the table. Today, Xu Rong's confession and rough list have been revealed, and the main target of King Huai's wooing is the garrison of Chang'an City, that is, the main leaders of the yamen of the defense department and the two major military camps outside the city. The Imperial Forest Army may be difficult to insert a needle into because of He Mao's dense walls, but the yamen of the various defense divisions in the city has been loose for a long time, and some people in the defense divisions have been more or less successfully bought, even Li Mi's Yunanmen Defense Division is not spared.
King Huai bought hundreds of officials in order to create public opinion, but buying military personnel is to increase the strength of the wrist, Liu Yu doesn't care how many courtiers and generals King Huai has bought, what he cares about is how many people are related to the three princes. Fortunately, Liu Yu made preparations in advance, and after reading the list, it contrasted with what he remembered in his mind, many of whom were subordinates of the Third Prince. Some people are really bought, and some people just accept the gift and don't refuse, but no matter what, these people eat inside and outside to find a way out for the future. This gave Liu Yu an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Among them, Liu Yue had a special idea of a person, named Feng Chengdi, who was the captain of the Yamen of the Neihua Gate Defense Division, and noted in detail in the book of 100 officials that this person had no high hall and only one sister, Feng Chengdi was friendly with the three princes, and had ambitions, and had been reprimanded by the emperor many times, but because he was the person of the three princes, the emperor was not embarrassed. The Baiguan Book also said that this Feng Cheng handed over the letter Feng Shui numerology, and believed that the hexagram master said that he could become famous after the age of thirty-five before he could marry a wife. Now at the age of 30, he is still alone.
Feng Cheng was very scheming, and he refused to accept any benefits and didn't want to leave a handle, but he said that he would personally send his sister to King Huai to be a handmaid. This method of liaison with foreign vassals can be regarded as clever.
Liu Yu, a person with high ambition and clever means, must make good use of it, and cannot rush to move him, if he is allowed to go to the trapped place step by step, he will take risks, this is the mentality of an adventurer. Liu Yu specially looked at the rest of the lieutenants of the Yamen of the Defense Division related to the three princes, all of whom were mediocre and cunning, relatively much more calm and introverted than Feng Chengdi, so they could only start with them first.
Liu Yu's plan has only a general idea, and it is not finalized, everything depends on the emperor's reaction, and it depends on the situation.
On the morning of the second day, when Liu Yu arrived at the chess building, he heard someone talk about what happened at the Oiran Conference of Zangyunfang last night, saying that Xu Rong rushed out of Zangyunfang unkempt like a madman, and there was no news so far. Xu Han went to meet the king early in the morning, asked the emperor for permission, sent the government to find his son and arrest a few troublesome Hu Shang, the emperor originally planned to send the Beijing Shao Yin Sui Yi to take the lead, but Xu Han had to recommend Yang Yanqian, who was jokingly called the "old bachelor", everyone knew that Yang Yanqian was Xu Han's person, and the emperor followed him and ordered the Imperial Procuratorate to be responsible for finding him.
Xu Han had no fear when he got the holy order, and mobilized the yamen of the whole city to help, but not to mention his son, even Hu Shang disappeared without a trace. The angry Xu Han had no choice but to spill his anger on the bustard's mother of Zangyunfang, and it is said that he is now leading people to shout to seal Zangyunfang.
Liu Yu sighed, it seems that the prime minister has a hard waist, and he even wants to seal the official office. It's just that I don't understand what the emperor's move means, if he is really tossed by Xu Han so much, it is not impossible to find his son, and it is not impossible to find a singing and dancing workshop.
Just when Liu Yue wanted to go to the Chengnan Song and Dance Workshop to see the situation, Li Mi, who was dressed in a military uniform, came and said that he would take him to see the military training.
"Training? You can just practice it yourself, and it won't make much use if I go. Liu Yu was concerned about the singing and dancing workshop, so he wanted to shirk it.
Li Mi smiled simply and naturally: "The equipment is all designed by Brother Liu, and there are many methods of training soldiers that are not very clear, so you need to explain them." ”
Liu Yu saw that Li Mi was looking forward to it, so he agreed, and when he arrived, he found that he was deceived by Li Mi's "simple and natural" smile. Where is to take him to see what kind of training and what advice to give, it is clear that he is taking him to see how those soldiers look foreign.
——I saw a wide wooden ladder six or seven meters high, and a soldier rushed up quickly, and before he could turn over, his feet slipped, "Poof! "I fell, but fortunately there was a thick cushion underneath, otherwise I would have fallen to my death. Then a large crowd rushed up, and then all fell in pieces......
After looking at the contact information of a device, Liu Yu didn't want to look any further.
"Are you training or doing dumplings? You look at where the hip-hop and hip-hop are like military training, when this is a playground? Liu Yu looked at Li Mi with some sadness and indignation. Thanks to King Huai, he can afford to buy these people and let them go to the battlefield, and it is good not to desert. And King Huai has been in the limelight for his large-scale training of soldiers and horses over the years, so he is afraid of comparing goods.
"Brother Liu, this is already good, I practiced once when I was just installed a few days ago, and I was tired for half an hour, and I barely exercised for two hours, and I didn't train for the second time until today."
Liu Yu was amazed at the training efficiency of the Yamen of the Defense Division in the city, and said in surprise: "Are you preparing to practice every ten years or every quarter every month?" So, starting today, practice twice a day, for two hours at a time, for a month to see if they will be so lazy. ”
Li Mi smiled bitterly: "You think I don't want to?" But they are all old soldiers, and they won't listen to orders. ”
"There are always people who are not old soldiers." Liu Yu looked at the past, there are still some soldiers who are really fighting, although the movements are not in place and they are easy to get injured, at least people are working hard, "The atmosphere of the army is dyed, how many people are there in your Yunanmen Defense Division?" ”
Li Mi thought for a while and said, "One thousand two hundred and sixty people." ”
"Then you will divide these 1,260 people into three teams, divided into the middle army, the upper army, and the lower army. Let them stay in the lower army, tell them that others can practice and they can sit next to them and watch, that is, they are not allowed to make trouble, and then tell them that if they are assessed every ten years, if they are still in the army for one month, they will be fined and silver, and if they fail to pass the test for three months, they will be promoted and reused. Don't let a rat poop spoil a pot of porridge! ”
Li Mi didn't expect Liu Yu to give him advice so quickly, and hesitated: "What if you split the upper and lower armies without permission, and are sued by the court for violating military discipline?" ”
"The original formation remains the same, and they only stand in their respective teams during training, which represents their status on the training ground. If a soldier does not have a sense of honor and self-motivation, then he does not deserve to be called a soldier! ”
