Chapter 444: Out of Control

After Meng Qing saw Xia Gongni at noon, it didn't take a few hours to get the paperwork for his position.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is in charge of the administration of the Great Zhou, but the Imperial Palace and its related professions are not included. The forbidden army was stationed in the palace, under the direct jurisdiction of General Hu Ben, and all the finances were directly allocated by the inner treasury within the palace, and the generals and colonels in charge of the forbidden army were appointed by the middle permanent servants, to be precise, in the hands of the permanent servants.

Xia Gong Ni let someone else serve as Xia Jieshu's deputy, and Jian Chang Shi may have an opinion. But Meng Qing is Chang Yu's nephew, and he is also the object that the Xia family has always wanted to woo.

In Jian Chang's view, Chang Yu's willingness to let Meng Qing and the Xia clan intersect was a sign of a slowdown in his attitude. And Xia Gong Ni let Meng Qing join the forbidden army, which was the starting point for her to begin to understand the way of the emperor.

Therefore, when Jian Chang Shi learned the news, he was not only dissatisfied, but also very excited, but in a few hours, the appointment document reached Meng Qing's hands.

Of course, if Meng Qing knew Jian Changshi's thoughts, he was afraid that he would fall from the high platform in front of him unsteadily.

After receiving the documents, Meng Qing immediately came to the forbidden army. Xia Jieshu's attitude towards Meng Qing was neither distant nor eager, it was very ordinary, as if he was a stranger.

Beneath the high platform, there were a thousand recruits in the battle column. Under Xia Jieshu's training these days, these people have begun to take shape, and the shelves have been laid out.

The forbidden army in the palace, in addition to the necessary guard tasks, the most important thing is the honor guard work of the Son of Heaven. As for fighting, in the current situation where all military operations in the Great Zhou are under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Office, the forbidden army cannot touch the enemy's edge at all.

Therefore, the training of the general forbidden army is carried out from the two directions of guards and etiquette. It's just that since Xia Gongni ran away that year, and the Xia family and Yang Xian almost tore their faces, the Xia family has a sense of crisis.

So, ever since then, the training of the forbidden army has focused on actual combat, and this is especially true of these newly recruited recruits.

"Zong Shi used to be the county guard of Zhongdi County in the past, in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops, and he was deeply familiar with the military, how about this new recruit?"

Although Meng Qing was a civilian, he had always mastered the military. Xia Jieshu, as a general, although he has been in the rear, he has also read the battle report of the Battle of Cangqiu.

It took only three days for the Zhou army to break through the defense line on the periphery of Cangqiu, which in the eyes of outsiders was naturally the incompetence of Meng Qing's county guard. However, Xia Jieshu had seen the deployment map of Liang Jun outside Cangqiu City, and knew very well how powerful this person was deployed.

The reason for the one-sided defeat was that the combat strength of the Liang army in Cangqiu City was uneven. There is another reason that Xia Jieshu is reluctant to admit, that is, the sergeants under Yang Xian are highly powerful, and they are even faintly on par with the combat power of the Liang army when it was in its heyday.

"There is a way for generals to train soldiers, which is rare among the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Meng Qing's words are not all flattery, it can be seen at a glance that Xia Jieshu is not a good stubble, and he is very good at leading troops. Otherwise, he would not have been pushed out by the Xia clan to take charge of the forbidden army at this time.

"It's just that I don't understand, the space in this palace is limited, and it is inconvenient to perform, why would the general train troops here?"

Of course, the reason why Meng Qing raised this question was not because he hoped that the training of the forbidden army could be carried out smoothly, but because he hoped that Xia Jieshu could find another place, so that Xia Gong Nirvana would not find him every once in a while.

"Humph!" Xia Jieshu snorted coldly, and a coldness appeared on his angular face, "The school field inside and outside the capital city is controlled by the Prime Minister's Mansion. Now the Changce, Zhechong and other armies are expanding their training and are very busy. In the heart of this prime minister, what does it matter if these are just to see the training of the forbidden army. ”

Xia Jieshu's dissatisfaction with Yang Xian Meng Qing saw it in his eyes, and now the military resources of the pickaxe capital and even the entire Yongzhou were monopolized by the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Yang Xian was integrating Yongzhou's military power at the fastest speed.

In contrast, although the forbidden army guards the palace and is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, the sequence among the Zhou army is very low, and the supply of resources is ranked last.

In short, it was raised by the stepmother.

"If you talk about a larger school field, I know that there is a place below, which is the place where Huan Biao, the former anti-Liang thief general, trained the army, which is enough to accommodate 10,000 troops for drilling. After Huan Biao's death, the school was abandoned and bought by a merchant. If the general is willing to lead the general to the next level, he will be willing to sell it at a low price to serve the forbidden army. However, this school field is relatively remote, I don't know if the general is willing? ”

Xia Jieshu's eyes lit up and looked at Meng Qing. There are larger squares in the palace, such as outside the Longxing Palace. However, this kind of place is simply impossible for Xia Jieshu to be used for training new troops. Meng Qing's proposal can be said to solve the urgent task of the forbidden army today.

Yang Xian wants to integrate the military as soon as possible, but Xia Jieshu also wants to make the forbidden army combat capable as soon as possible.

Meng Qing was sure, because the businessman who bought this school was under the command of the Chang family. Xia Jieshu turned around and expressed considerable eagerness.

"If Zong Shi is sure, it really solves the urgent need."

"In this case, I will arrange it later."

"It's hard work!"

Meng Qing immediately withdrew, Xia Gongni's temper was unpredictable, if this matter dragged on for a long time, maybe she would even be annoyed by him.

Let the son of today have malice towards him, this is not what Meng Qing wants to see.

Looking at Meng Qing's distant figure, Xia Jieshu's eyes were filled with a layer of coldness, and he completely lost the eagerness just now.

"General!"

Under the high platform, an attendant walked up, and it was the third attendant in the palace, in addition to Jian Changshou and Huang Chang, Lu Chao.

Lu Chao is slightly older than Xia Jieshu, and he is the person who was introduced by the Xia clan to assist Jian Changshi in managing the palace.

"You're here. What do you think of Meng Qing, this kid? ”

"Like Chang Yu, it is unfathomable. It's just that His Majesty has always been close to Yang Xian, and suddenly sent him here, which is a little difficult to see. ”

"Your Majesty!"

Speaking of which, Xia Jieshu is also helpless. Xia Gongni saw Yang Xian's closeness in their eyes, and it was by no means like acting.

Although the Xia family is dissatisfied with Yang Xian, there are still a few people who involve this dissatisfaction with Xia Gong Ni. It is because of Xia Gongni's compromise and weakness that Yang Xian has become so big that it is out of control now.

And Xia Jieshu is one of them.

Although these people didn't dare to say anything to Xia Gong Ni, the supreme of the Great Zhou, they were growing dissatisfied.

"General, the banquet of the Prime Minister's Mansion will be held in the palace, and His Majesty will personally preside over it. Recently, there will be a lot of people in and out of the palace, and Jian Chang asked me to inform the general, and I hope the general will pay attention. ”

"Humph!"

The so-called banquet is just a banquet for Yang Xian to gather the main generals to celebrate the victory of the military operation, and it is more to declare his merits, Xia Jieshu is naturally unwilling to work because of this kind of thing, but there is no way.
