Chapter 10: The Guards

According to the latest observations, it only rained for half an hour throughout the day, and it stopped after 12 o'clock after I was drenched. I'm going to buy two lottery tickets! )

Standing in front of the Chongling Mausoleum of Dezong, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and beautiful waters, birds coming and going, full of white curtains, and full of joy, Li Yu couldn't help but sigh:

"What a great place. No wonder emperors have always tried their best to build mausoleums for themselves, not to mention the dead in this place, even the living are comfortable to sleep here! ”

This idea obviously did not have the consciousness that a feudal emperor should have. But it's no wonder that Li Yu, as a modern person, has seen many great people turn into wisps of green smoke in Babao Mountain, where does he take things after his death so seriously? The emperors of all dynasties attached great importance to the mausoleum, buried in the treasure land of feng shui, the result not only can not keep the royal industry of the descendants, often even their own bones can not be preserved, a small Luoyang shovel can dig up the mausoleum of the emperors of the past dynasties, I don't know the emperors lying in the mausoleum have knowledge underground, what will they think. I want to think like this, but there are not many people in this era who have similar ideas to Li Xu, as a vested interest, Li Yu doesn't dare to show it, at most he will arrange it after a hundred years.

Soon after Dezong's burial, Xia Sui really came with the news, because the imperial court delayed the appointment of Yang Huilin, Yan Shou sent the general A Dieguang to cross the river with the army, and Ah Fall Guangyan became a horn, A Dieguang Jin is Ah Fall Guangyan's brother, both brothers are known as prestige, the generals are afraid, Xia Sui's army is in civil strife, killing Yang Huilin and his cronies, and passing the head of Chang'an. Xia Sui was in turmoil, and Li Yu ordered Li Yan to enter Xia Sui as the envoy of Xia Sui.

Compared with Li Yan, Yuan Zi was not so lucky, on September 10, Li Yu received Yuan Zi's watch, to the surprise of the privy envoy Gou Sheng, Li Yu was not angry but happy. At the court meeting, Li Yu didn't seem to be too embarrassed by Yuan Zi, but Prime Minister Du Huangshang insisted on punishing Yuan Zi heavily, so the original suggestion of the Ministry was to demote Yuan Zi to the Jizhou Thorn History, Li Yu at Du Huangshang's insistence, demoted Yuan Zi to the Chaozhou Thorn History, and sent Yuan Zi to the Lingnan Sea to compete with the crocodile. As soon as the resolution came out, Yuan Zhai cried. Later, the report sent back from the front said that Yuan Zi fainted when he saw the holy decree. This kind of news made Li Yu very happy, so happy that he was almost impersonal, heartless.

In fact, this is not to blame Li Yu, it is only strange that he is unhappy. was really sleepy and touched the pillow, and was worried that Wei Zhiyi would not go to Lingnan, Yuan Zi consciously aroused public anger, although Yuan Zi said that he was timid, but his political ability was first-class, otherwise Du Huangshang would not have recommended him to replace Wei Gao. Although Yuan Zi has the title of General Zuojin Wuwei, in fact, he has always been a civil official, and the evaluation of the officials has always been very high, although many ministers stand firmly on Li Yu's side, but they have some slander about Yuan Zi's arrangement, Yuan Zi is also a talent after all. But Li Yucai doesn't care what the ministers think, can you understand the vision of leading the times?

Li Chen's vision ahead of the times is not only these. Many ministers in the court thought that it was the Juyang Rebellion that made the emperor uneasy about the forbidden army, so they reformed the military system. Unexpectedly, it was not until mid-November that the two armies were formed in Beiyuan when the ceremony of the formation of the two armies was held, and the ministers found out that this was the forbidden army!

The two armies were 20,000 men each, and although they were called the Guards Army, the task of guarding them continued to be entrusted to Yulinwei, Zhongwuwei, and Yingwuwei, and these two armies were instead the standard * field army configuration. The two armies consisted of 20,000 men each, and the composition was as follows:

There are 12,500 infantry, including 7,500 armor soldiers and 5,000 light infantry.

Among the light infantry, 2,500 men were equipped with a bow, 30 arrows, a heavy knife with a broken handle, a spear, and a square cowhide shield. Another 2,500 light infantry were armed with a bow and 30 arrows. On his back he carried a larger basket of arrows, containing 100 arrows, a crossbow, and a spear.

The armor soldiers are equipped with bright light armor, and 5,000 of them have a bow, 30 arrows, a gun, and a heavy knife with a broken handle. The other 2,500 people are the world-famous Mo knife soldiers, each of whom has a bow and 30 arrows on both waists, and a long-handled Mo knife and a spear are crossed behind the back.

There were 5,500 cavalrymen, each carrying a spear, a round shield, a bow, 30 arrows, and a long and short horizontal sword.

Each army is equipped with 2,000 baggage troops.

What surprised the ministers even more was that the left and right guards, especially the left guards, were different in that Li Yu set up a new position in the army, the name was very ** called education to join the army, and there were several clerks under his jurisdiction, and the older ones were selected from the first scholars in the capital to fill the position, and the duty was to promote the emperor's majesty's divine literature and holy martial arts in the army, care for the noble character of the people, establish a strong belief in the soldiers and junior officers to fight for the Tang Dynasty for His Majesty the emperor, and chat with the soldiers while writing letters on behalf of the soldiers. This is not a new thing, but Li Yu has systematized it, and the content of the propaganda of indoctrination and joining the army was also designed by Wang Shuwen before Ding Wei, and Li Jifu has perfected and supplemented it. At this point, Li Yu established an armed force that was completely loyal to himself.

At the ceremony of forming the army, accompanied by the rumbling drums, all kinds of military flags were blown by the north wind, and the cold wind was bitter, but the soldiers stood still, and they could not imagine that the army had only been established for three months, and it was not easy to have such a appearance, especially Li Yu, who trained 20,000 displaced people like this. Facing the military formation with a strict appearance, Li Yu was very satisfied. Riding on a white horse and holding a long sword, he inspected the whole army under the attendants of Hao Ling and Li Yu.

Then Hao Yu and Li Yu commanded the two armies to perform in battle formations, except for Ah Chuan Guangyan who took away 5,000 people, the other one was not bad, and the scene of 35,000 soldiers standing in the school field was really not covered, and the computer stunts of the descendants were completely incomparable, lacking a sense of reality, and Li Yu couldn't help but have the urge to wave his hand and shout "Hello comrades". Although Li Yu didn't like this kind of formalism, in the face of the famous Modao Array, he also seemed to feel his heart beating faster, his face was red, and he nervous the imperial doctor around him half to death.

However, although Li Yu was excited, after all, he had been an emperor for so long, and his vision had also been practiced, compared with the Gao Chongwen army that had just been reviewed a few days ago, these tens of thousands of people were obviously a little worse. What's missing?

It's almost murderous.

Gao Chongwen's troops have been in battle for a long time, and the bloodthirsty aura that the soldiers naturally exude is incomparable to these soldiers in front of them who have not been in the battle formation or even just put down their hoes.

Li Yu believed that a unit that could not see blood with a bayonet was not a good unit. An army, no matter how well equipped, cannot be quenched into good steel without actual combat.

Li Yu couldn't help but regret a little when he thought of this, he had already known that he had done it late to Yang Huilin, so that these soldiers could go through the battle formation, but unfortunately, what a good training opportunity, it seemed that Yang Huilin's subordinates were not his soldiers.

It's a pity, since Yang Huilin has hung up, let's use the brains of the southwest.

The martial arts academy is about to open, and Xia Sui's officers should also arrive, right?
